1. Ming the Merciless

When the heroic Flash Gordon and his friends land on the planet Mongo they find it ruled by the evil Emperor Ming, a despot who quickly becomes their enemy.

The capital of his empire is named Mingo in his honour. In addition to his army, Ming has access to a wide variety of science fiction gadgets, ranging from rocket ships to death rays to robots. Though evil, he has his weaknesses, which include a desire to marry Flash's beautiful companion, Dale Arden. Ming's daughter Aura is as evil as he is when the series begins, but is eventually reformed by her love for Flash.

Though he is technically an alien, Ming strongly resembles a stereotypical Asian supervillain, and his resemblance to Dr. Fu Manchu is especially strong.

-"Pathetic Earthlings! Hurling your bodies out into the void without the slighest inkling of who or what is out here. If you knew anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would have hidden from it in terror."

2. Francis Begbie

Francis Begbie is an aggressive pit bull terrier, a monstrous, brawling hard man ready to explode at any moment, at anyone, for any reason.

His sole ambition seems to be to jack someone in - the innocent kid on the bar stool when he's losing at pool; the identikit American tourist in the wrong pub during the Edinburgh Festival; Renton when he teases Begbie about his romp with a transvestite; above all the shocking scene in a London pub, when a punter evokes his fury by spilling his pint.

"Begbie didn't do drugs, he did people," says Renton.

I am going to have to rent Trainspotting now!

3. Doctor Doom.

His face scarred in a lab accident which he blamed on classmate Reed Richards, the supremely vain Victor Von Doom further mutilated himself by donning a newly-forged mask that had not yet cooled (oops!). Swearing revenge on Richards, he mastered science and the mystic arts before seizing political control of his home country of Latveria. He uses his superscience and his powerful armor, as well as the resources of his kingdom to make war on the Fantastic Four and the entire world.

The Joker

4 Joker--- He brutally beat to death his arch enemies partner. He violently shot a woman, stripped her and snapped shots of her to humiliate her father. He's killed many and his reasoning is different than any other villian. He does it because he wants a laugh. HE does it for the Joke.

Excerpt is from http://the-joker.biography.ms/

"

The Joker, also referred to as The Clown Prince of Crime and The Harlequin of Hate, is a fictional comic book supervillain, modeled after the lead character played by Conrad Veidt from the 1928 film, The Man Who Laughs . The Joker is an insane criminal with a clown-like appearance, the greatest adversary of Batman, created by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson .

Throughout the evolution of the Batman universe, interpretations and incarnations of the Joker have taken two forms. The original and currently dominant image is of a sadistic psychopath with a warped sense of humor, deriving pleasure from inflicting grotesque, morbid death and terror upon innocent people. In this interpretation, he is a textbook example of antisocial personality disorder. In a sense he is Charles Manson cursed with a clown's grinning face and a grotesque sense of showmanship . The other interpretation of the Joker, popular in the late 1940s through 1960s comic books as well as the 1960s television series, portrays the Joker as an eccentric but harmless prankster and thief. The 1990s cartoon Batman: The Animated Series is notable for blending these two aspects, but most interpretations tend to embrace one characterization or the other.
Origins
in the comics

The Joker's trademarks are his countless "comedic" weapons (like razor sharp playing cards, acid-spewing flowers, and lethally electric joy buzzers) and Joker venom, a deadly poison that infects his victims with a ghoulish rictus grin as they die while uncontrollably laughing hysterically (although some versions cause immediate death, without the painful laugh spasms beforehand). This venom comes in many forms, from gas to darts to liquid poison, and has been his primary calling card from 1940 till the present. In the 1989 movie, it was dubbed Smylex, but its symptoms are the same. "

5. Thanos

He once wiped out half of the sentient population of the universe to appease his would-be lover, Death.

http://marvelite.prohosting.com/surfer/profiles/thanos.html

Thanos is one of the Eternals of Titan (The Eternals are a powerful race of near-immortal beings from Earth's past. Centuries ago a group of them moved to the Saturnian satellite, Titan). The son of Mentor (leader of the Titans) and his wife, Sui-San. Ever a problem child, Thanos eventually grew to manhood and became obsessed with death, and eventually came to meet Her, and fell in love with her. After committing Titan's greatest crime (building a weapon), his father had him exiled from his home world. Years later Thanos returned to his home world with a space fleet crewed by some of the worst the Universe had to offer. With his crew of murderers, brigands, and pirates, Thanos brought Titan to its knees, slaughtering most of the inhabitants. Out of 35,000 Titans, the attack claimed all but 100, and left Sui-San among the dead. Eventually the Mad Titan was sent into retreat. But would return many more Times to plague the Universe.

Brief bio's please. We don't need the complete story of each villian. Thanks!

Thanos is way cool!

Comments: 128 might wind up being too many. Consider 64.
Also, starting voting before you have all of the participants will throw stuff off, as the earliest villains will be the biggest and baddest. To try to escape some of the obvious...

6. Adelai Niska
(Firefly)

Occupation: Crimelord
He belives that reputation is merely gossip. So he will show you exactly what he's done to those who have crossed him. So for you his reputation is fact, it is solid.
And what he does is grisly torture.
If the torture kills you, he will resussitate you so he can torture you more.

7. Fat Bastard

The true villain in the Austin Powers series, he is known for his poor hygiene, notably the crusty cheese beneath his manboobs. He has given Scots a bad name with 4 simple words, "Get in mah belly!" Pure Evil incarnate.
