43. T1000
Bio: This Advanced Prototype was the last and most advanced design of SKYNET's Infiltrator / Terminator series of HK units. The amount of materials and resources that SKYNET devoted to making the T1000 project a reality was simply staggering, even to the machine intellect. The time and materials that it required to produce one T1000 HK unit was the same time and materials that it took to produce five T500 HK units! However, the tactical ramifications of the very abilities and the existence of the T1000 meant that SKYNET was not only about to achieve a tactical advantage against the Resistance, but within a short time, it would achieve a strategic advantage as well.

I can't do better than Ika Willis, so I will quote her
44. Servalan
Source: Blake's 7 (british tv show)
(By Ika Willis)
A woman crash-lands alone on a hostile planet in the middle of an intergalactic war. She's wearing a spotless, floor-length, white evening gown, pearls, and high heels. Over the next few hours, does she -
A: Cry/plead/get captured and wait patiently for rescue?
Or
B: Have a blistering snog with a wanted criminal, flirt shamelessly with her host's daughter - then steal a weapon, shoot her host in the back, run off, and attempt to start up an arms trade with the natives?
If you answered B, well done! You have witnessed the phenomenon that is Servalan, President of the Terran Federation, Ruler of the High Council, Lord of the Inner and Outer Worlds, High Admiral of the Galactic Fleets, Lord General of the Six Armies, and Defender of the Earth. [Me: From Blake's 7 -- heck, she got the leader of the good guys framed for child molesting (down to brainwashing the child to give him false memories!)...how sick is that!]

45. Xanatos , David
(Gargoyles)
This very smart, often ruthless businessman brought a castle from Scotland to New York City to break the 1000 year curse that the Gargoyles were under. When Goliath refused to aid Xanatos in his criminal activities, it led to a feud that last for years. Xanatos tried every classic evil villain trick, even breaking out the evil clone of the hero with the backwards name, Thailog.
His proposal to Fox was one of the best of all time, as he pointed out that they were genetically compaitble, highly intelligent, had the same goals, and even love each other as much as people like them were capable of the emotion. Classic.
Played to smarmy perfection by Jonathan Frakes, Xanatos could be the best animated tv villian of all time.

46. Dracula
Dracula is inarguably the most famous vampire in the world. He was created by the Irish writer Bram Stoker in his 1897 horror novel of the same name. It is an epistolary novel, that is, told mostly in diaries and letters from the characters, although Stoker also fabricates newspaper clippings, and even uses transcriptions from a dictation machine, then a very new device.

47. BOWSER
(tons of Mario videogames)
The forgotten form of entertainment, but just as important. The king of all video game bad guys must be mentioned. This giant turtle thing has caused Mario tons of trouble over the years. His insatiable lust for Princess Peach has led this vile villian to kidnap her time and time again, and just when Mario thinks he's found her... sorry, buddy...our princess is in another castle.
With his well fortified castle, an army of minions from the lowliest Koopa to the powerful witch Kammy, and his own deadly fire-breath, Bowser has more resources at his disposal than anyone.
He hates Mario so much, he has even become a master golfer, tennis player and go-karter just to thwart his arch-enemy.
That's dedication.
And just in case you think Bowser doesn't care, he has even allied with Mario against other threats to the Mushroom Kingdom or Princess Peach. Because if anyone is going to kidnap Peach and stomp on Mario, it has to be Bowser.

48. Gollum
Smeagol/Gollum was born in the year 2430 to a fairly prominent family of hobbits of the Stoor strain near the Gladden Fields. In the year 2463, the day of Smeagol's coming of age, he went fishing with his cousin Deagol. While fishing, Deagol saw something glittering under the surface of the water, dove in after it, and came up with a glittering gold ring. Before even knowing the qualities of the beautiful ring, Smeagol's desire to own it overtook him, and he murdered his cousin for it. Smeagol soon developed many undesirable qualities, like stealing, eavesdropping, and being sneaky whenever he had the opportunity. It was these qualities which got him banished from his household. Cursing his bad luck and his family, he eventually made his way to a gloomy den underneath the Misty Mountains. Living in darkness, he grew to hate the light of the sun and moon, but the moon he would tolerate. Smeagol stayed there for many years until he was unexpectedly visited by Bilbo Baggins, who found Smeagol's ring near the water where he had left it accidently. After the "theft" of his "birthday present", Smeagol found the strength to venture out and pursue the Ring. He wandered far and wide until the year 3017, when he was captured by Sauron. This is how Sauron found out about the name of Baggins. Soon after he was captured by Aragorn, who turned him over to Gandalf, but managed to escape during an orc raid, immediately setting off in search of the Ring. He managed to catch up with Frodo and the Fellowship near the West Gate of Moria, following them through, and betraying them to the orcs. Following them through Moria and Lorien, Gollum was captured by Frodo and Sam near Emyn Muil, after which he faithfully led the pair to Cirith Ungol, and seemed to be changing his ways. In Cirith Ungol though he revealed his true nature, betraying Frodo and Sam to Shelob with the intention of finding the Ring in their discarded clothing. His plan did not work out as intended, and he had to set out after the Ring once more. He caught up with Frodo and Sam at the foot of Mount Doom, where he was cast down by Frodo, and stayed by Samwise out of pity. Frodo was eventually overcome by the power of the Ring at the edge of the Cracks of Doom, where once again he was accosted by Gollum, wrestling for the Ring. In the struffle he managed to bite off Frodo's Ring finger and recovered the One Ring. In a dance of mirth and excitement, he lost himself and fell into the Cracks of Doom, thus fulfilling the quest.

49. Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor - the greatest criminal mind of the 20th century. The ultimate self made man, Luthor is brilliant in regards to science, ecomnomics and human nature. He despises his archenemy Superman, seeing him as an alien, unworthy of the adoration of the people of his city. Luthor even successfully ran for and won the presidency of the United States.

I still have a lot of missing villains in mind myself. Heck there are still 5 or 6 Star Wars villain missing from the list. We are almost to 50 and if we stop at 64 then I think there will be too many missing classics as well.
So lets go for 128 and I will open the voting to unlimited submissions. Don't get carried away though.
PS. Please note the source of your villain. There are a few that I don't know where they come from.
