Always loved this guy, incoherent rambling and explosives go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Hooray for the tick!
I think Scorpius was a great villain because he wasn't "evil". He was a fanatic. He had his reasons and felt completely justified in his actions. That they were morally questionable makes the character all the more interesting.
The best villains are the ones that have depth to them. Spike before his soul, Angel without his.
But for pure evil, just for evil's sake I've got to give it Sauron
A swhat?

A semantic point: to me a villian is sentient. They have the ability to think and out-think an opponent. Agent Smith, Vader, Palpatine, Pazuzu... villians. The Blob, Godzilla, zombies, etc. are MONSTERS. Was the tornado in TWISTER a "villian"? The T-rex in Jurassic Park? Not to me. Monsters and animals fall into the "forces of nature" catagory. Having not seen the BDM, just the DVDs I would be tempted to put reavers in this catagory because they operate solely on instinct, as an animal would. It's a subtle difference, but to me important. Also by the same token, a villian opposes the protagonist in a story, more or less all the way through. By that standpoint, Cap'n Sparrow, Mel Gibson in PAYBACK, Michael Douglas in FALLING DOWN... these are anti-heroes, immoral protagonists, or unsympathetic protagonists. Then again, I am probably over-analyzing the whole issue. But I would love to hear other sides of the debate.
I am planning on growing a big black moustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Locke a VILLAIN? Blasphemy!
Truly, he rocks. He is by far the best character on LOST, and certainly my favorite current television character. But I certainly wouldn't call him the villain of the piece - in fact, I think Jack's kind of an ass who needs to realize he doesn't have complete sovereignty over his fellow LOSTaways. Still, assuming Locke does go evil, I'd certainly place him on my list.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: If Locke goes nuts and starts hunting the other islanders down one by one, I'll still be rooting for him.

The Operative is my current favorite villian.
Select to view spoiler:
"What I do is Evil. I have no illusions about that. But it must be done." Also the fact that he has the cojones to call Mal to apologize for Haven.
Also, Jubal Early is high on the list. Does that seem right to you?
Angelus was awesome, but only because of the Buffy/Angel factor. Also the Mayor, for previously stated reasons.
Ghaleon, from Lunar 1, is one of my all time favorites, with his combination of style, evil, and humor.

Also, (Because I just thought of him,) I'm playing Resident Evil 4, right now, and I swear the village chief, in his Plagas form, is going to give me nightmares tonight.

I totally agree with you on Morden and Kartaja. Man, Morden creeps me out! *shudder* And the Witch King's soo freaky! Oh, and Jubal Early. And for all the Stargate fans, I love Apophis as a bad guy. He's shiny.

Hey to all the FF obsessed people!
No, Cap'n, I think it's shiny!

Lord Marshall in The Chronicles of Riddick. He's so evil he's already half dead.

Hard to rank, but two of my favorites (in no particular order are:
Archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) "The Prophecy" The bit with him perched up on the ledge in the bedroom...nightmares. 'nuff said.
Satan (Rosalinda Celentano) "The Passion of the Christ" She's Satan for Pete's sake! Can ya get more evil? Plus the androgenous almost serpentine portrayal was...creepifyin'.
[BTW..."Satan" is actually quite hot, no? Proof...]
