[QUOTE="Villano, post: 570668, member: 505"] And what would Frankenstein be? I've seen it listed in TV Guide as Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror. Alien is another good one. Sci-Fi or Horror? It gets really complicated when you get into things like The Adventures Of Brisco County, Jr. Western, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi. I think that genre is really ultimately meaningless now. Look, it's a murder mystery set in the future in which the villain turns out to be a monster cowboy summoned by magic! :) With that out of the way, that poll, how should I put it, sucked. Kirk, Frankenstein (and/or his monster), Flash Gordon (who was the forefather of all the Kirks that followed), Ming (who was the forefather of all the Darth Vaders that followed), Superman, Terminator, Alien, and Lex Luther are all good choices which didn't make it to the list. BTW, this poll reminded me of a magazine which ran an article a few years ago listing the 100 greatest sci-fi villians. Does anyone know what magazine it was and the issue? I remember not picking it up because it had, I think, a $10 price tag, and I didn't want to spend that much on a magazine. I remember Ming, Vader, and General Zod from Superman 2 made the list.
