Got to say Niska, with Badger coming in at second (even though he's not on the list). Niska is just so very evil. His cruelty actually surprised me, I didn't think he'd go so far. And Badger's just really damn cool. I love that hat.

Niska is the most evil B#@%#*d of the lot.

Let's face it - nobody would want to be in his clutches! Saffron's yes, but definitely NOT Niska!

I don't think of myself as a lion. You may as well, though: I have a mighty roar.

Jubal Early, a villian of my heart.

He's my favorite because a) his dialogue is existentially awesome b) he is scary as hell [Kaylee's near-rape scene, ah!] c) he is by no means a stupid villian. We really should be afraid of him. If he had been after anyone how wasn't a psychic, they would have been gone.

I've no sure if he is the most evil. Niska is probably eviler, but Early is definately the coolest, most interesting villian. I'm so sad we won't see more of him.

I do agree that Jubal Early is a great villain. Tha scene with him and Kaylee in the engine room makes a chill go down my spine every time I watch it. And the part on the bridge where River is talking about his dog and his mother and the scene cuts to him screaming and shaking his head and going crazy? Freaky. But I can't shake "two by two hands of blue" The blue gloves in "Ariel" really make me shudder. They just sit there and calmly pull out this weapon that makes you bleed out all your orifices. Ewww. And insanely creepy. Evil if you ask me. Goes along with how the Operative would ask how you are then run you through with that sword of his.

i would go for either Niska or the Blue Hands. The Blue Hands are soooooo Joss Whedon scary. They're mysterious, and are very original in premise. But Niska is just plain ol' Nazi freaky, which is pretty scary being that you probably wouldn't want to be tortured.

um you forgot the entire Aliance people...

Saphrons not a villan but a vixon

Niskas just old a grumpy

Earlys not right in the head

Patience was a power mongol and had to feed her people more than half a moons worth

The Reavers well their canibles they got to eat something and have hobbies

Jayne well hes in love with money not a villan

The agants with gloves were just doing thier jobs covering up the mess that River leaves in her wake or rather killing all the people that she has contact with

can we concider bager to be a villan? he is an agravating antaganistic lying cheeting peice of gosa

The best villan would be Shun Yu or how ever you spell his name. he put people in valcanos for fun... now thats evil... specualy when you live in the middle of a desrt...


The court of this obsession, is abstracted from possession which when the worlds of outside in fall.

I was just thinking about on one of the special features one of the characters quotes Willem Defoe saying there is no difference between hero or villain because both think they are right, that they are justified. That being said I think the Operative would be best because he new what he did was evil but he still did it for a greater good. So he was sacrificing himself for what was "right" which is a heroic quality even if he is a villain.
