Lucky Number
First Post
Lucifer in the Vertigo comics, especially the Lucifer series. He defines "arrogant prick", and manages to suceed, since he's the second most powerful being in existence. He's also a great example of a villain with high intelligence, as he's nearly always in control of the situation. He is a master at humiliating his opponents before dispensing with them.
Desire, also from Vertigo (the Sandman series, this time), just because he/she commits the most atrocious acts within her/his sphere of influence, and then completely forgets that he/she did them. This includes leading one her/his brother Dream's numerous loves to end up cheating on him with the anthropomorphic representation of her own planet's sun.
For real people, there was a mortician or something in the old west (in San Francisco, i think) who took the corpse of a criminal, sent it to a cobbler, and told him to use it to make a pair of fancy leather shoes- and sew a nipple onto the tipe of each one. The cobbler did make the shoes (sans nipples, i guess that was too much for him), and the mortician wore them on a regular basis. He later ran for a local political office, saying that, by wearing shoes made from this one criminal, he was literally putting his foot down on crime (or something equally cringe-worthy). While not so villainous, he's still a creepy bastard.
I spoke about this with a friend, after having asked if chinese people were as offended by Mulan as some American Indians were by Pocahontas:
ME: "They portrayed the Huns as being sub-human monsters..."
FRIEND: "They were! Wound-f***ing, remember?"
