i'll wanted to go with blue hands too, coz we know what they do. but mal and company don't know yet(i think river might though).

anyway, i think i'll vote reavers. they scare the hell out of mal, jayne, etc. so that scares me.

i'm gonna go ahead and say Saffron. yeah, she's a bad girl but she's so damn devious.

Niska is sadistic and pays people well enough to do his messy work for him but, as was mentioned earlier, is not so much the tough guy when the chips are down and things are not going according to his plan.

Early, while cold and calculating, was not really able to think on his feet. he had a plan (get the Tams) and worked out a way to do it once he boarded. when the plan started going awry, he lost his cool and was not as threatening.

Saffron has a plan that has so many intricate twists and turns, yet can quickly adapt to any situation that comes up. plus the girl can do ANYTHING, be it seduce, hot-wire, field strip, reprogram, shoot, this girl is a threat even when she's naked! you have to constantly be on you toes around her and even then she's still dancing way ahead of you.

Niska. I still think that shot of him in War Stories right after he takes off Mal's blindfold is the single creepiest image in the entire series.

Runner up is Early. That seem right to you?

Have to say Reavers for me. We ain't never even seen them, and they give me the creeps, the ghost stories are the best. The sooner we see them full on and instead of on an angle, they won't be scary no more, look at the Borg. They scared me senseless as a kid, now we know all about them and have seen them so much, they're as scary as pandas.

For real-life historical reasons, I think guys like Niska are definitely the creepiest. To be able to live like he does because that's just his business and his reputation is extremely scary ... Jubal seems downright crazy, which gives him an excuse for his crazy behaviour.

My runner-up is the 'daddy' (sorry, his name escapes me at the moment) in Heart of Gold: the scene where he forces the turncoat prostitute to give him head in front of the 'decent townsmen' also shows a high degree of well-thought-out contempt for his fellow humans.

My vote is for the hands of blue guys. Anyone who can do to River what they did is the biggest villain in my book. That and they wear creepy blue gloves, that just gives me a creepy serial killer vibe.

I love Simon!

My favorite would be Badger. He's got style. That's very important in a villan.

But the ones that scare me the most are the blue hand group. The scene in Ariel where with the feds makes me shudder no matter how many times I watch it.

Damn, no way for me to choose. It depends too much on what kind of mood I'm in at the moment. I'd probably have to say 50/50 Reavers & Blue Hands because the true depths of their evil, who/what they really are and why they do what they do, are still unknown...and the unknown can be deeply terrifying.

OK, total hypothetical tangent. Early gets hired by Niska to hunt down Mal. He runs afoul of some Blue Hands twins and since his mind is "special" he ends up being used in one of their "training programs" rather than killed. Later he faces off against the crew of Serenity and is defeated again, but escapes...only to be captured by Reavers and converted. So, you end up with Early the River Reaver...I think "ERR" could be sorta scary.

Edit: Plus, it goes so well with the Mutant Enemy credits.

When I first started reading I thought, "Jubal, hands down, how come there's so much discussion?" I changed my mind about 8 times reading the thread...

I think I'm back to Jubal, though, with Reavers poised to overtake him at any second. Jubal's brilliant but crazy. And calculating. (Whoever said he lost his cool once things went awry: it took quite awhile for him to lose his cool. It wasn't until River made him think he was even crazier than he actually was that he really lost it.) But he's also unpredictable, and entirely capable of just about any kind or degree of violence to achieve his ends.

Reavers are...well, they're even less predictable than Jubal. Also, there's the idea that each of us is capable of becoming one of them, which I think of as worse than death. But still not creepier than Early.

The Blue Hands don't make the cut for me. Too predictable. They're going to come after River, and kill anyone who gets in their way. Painfully, sure, but it's quick.
