Reavers: You never saw them until Serenity. But in Firefly they were so evil that it makes Jayne afraid. They are the best villains ever!

Darth Vader will always be the ultimate unsympathetic villain. Part of the reason that Ep.I-III didn’t work as well as Ep.IV-VI is because it was so difficult to have any sympathy for Dark Vader.
Although not a movie or television series, I always thought the Mule from Asimov’s Foundation stories was also a magnificent villain.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Ming from Mongo. He was evil and insane. His ego was so big he had to conquer the universe so he could have room for it. Niska reminds me of Ming. Both thought they were the toughest villains in the verse.
Ming-"I control absolutely the movement of this planet."
Niska-"Now you know my reputation."
They would make a great team. Eventually one would kill the other. But just wondering which one would get away with it is interesting.

1. The Master (Doctor Who--he just enjoyed it so much!
2. Magneto (X-Men)--you couldn't help but sympathise with him.
3. Michael Meyers--He scared the bejesus out of me!
4. Reavers--need I say more?
5. George A. Romero's zombies
Simon: "Were there any Feds?"
mal: "No, no Feds, just an honest brawl between folk."

Welcome to the site, BITBPS (long abbreviation

1)Reavers - Joss Whedon creates fear without the viewer ever getting a clear view of them (which adds to the creepy mystique). Sometimes it's just best to let the imaginations of the audience decide what a Reaver looks like to them.
2)Niska - He treated his own nephew like a slab of meat? Don't want to cross him any time soon.
3)Jubal Early - Bone-chilling scene with Kaylee made me dislike him, despite his eccentricities.
4)Blue Hands - I'd rather not bleed to death through my cuticles, thank you very much.
5)Willow (when she was evil, of course) - That episode is one of the few good ones, in my opinion. It made sense, and... she did that freaky thing where she sucked the information right out of the books. Score!

I'll just stick to the Firefly universe, because otherwise there are just too many villains too varied to choose from. And because that's not too much of a restriction... the question makes me realize, one of the great things about Firefly is the villains. There are several really, really good ones.
(Looks like there are several different interpretations of the question. Most villainous villains, or the ones we like watching in action best? Sheer villainy isn't all that interesting on its own: the Blue Hands are bad, but not as entertaining as my favorites:)
Top of my list is Yosaffbridge. She's not the evillest, or scariest, or most competent, but she's interesting. Partly because she's such a question mark; you don't know what to believe about her. Was she really married to Durran? Really in love with him? Who knows? We may never. Anyway, I'm always a sucker for con man (or woman) stories. Anyone else here who really enjoyed the movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"?
Right up near the top is the Operative. Sheer genius, to have a monster who knows he's a monster, whose stated purpose is to bring about a utopia in which he has no place. And then to show him that his "utopia" is as monstrous as he is... brilliant. And he's such a polite guy, too.
Niska: well, he could have been just your basic sadist, but casting him with someone who looks like a retired bank clerk makes him special. Jubal Early... I have a hard time watching "Objects in Space", he's so creepy... but he's worth gritting your teeth and watching. (Anyway, it gets so much more fun once the disembodied River starts talking, and, hey, bass clarinet solos!)
And I can't believe no one's mentioned nine other Firefly villains I just thought of myself: Mal, Zoe, Wash, River, Simon, Book, Kaylee, Jayne, and Inara. They steal, they kill, they're bad guys. But we like them. (I thought of letting Inara off this particular hook, but she did participate in stealing the Lassiter. And Book, okay, maybe not a bad guy any more...)

Oh, guys, come on!!! The Cigarette Smoking Man (C.G.B. Spender) from The X-Files???
I can't believe no one picked him! He's manipulative and Evil with a capital E! He tried to murder both of his sons (Mulder and Jeffrey Spender) and he snatched Scully on 2 separate occasions. He's one bad daddy.
