I have several. Blackmage from www.nuklearpower.com
Dr. Nesbit and Dark Iguana from www.supermegatopia.com
Dark Schneider
Lina Inverse
Richard (natch)

Hannibal Lector, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty (she was pure nasty ) Captain Hook, Agent Smith, Kerrigor and Orranis, oh there are so many more, I'll have to think about this and add later.

hmmmmmmm

Well yeah, and Richard.

Richard- LFG
Ichimaru Gin- Bleach
The leader of the Skull Saders- Air Gear (its on youtube)
Phantom- MAR
Yuri- RA2: YR
The IRS

As this belongs not in the comic section but General Discussion, moved. Enjoy!

Darth Vader, and the guy who wrote this

*Snort* man, are you out of the loop. While the evil overlord list is grand, it does leave out a few things. Here, read these

You know, a few of the lists have vanished over the years.

There was a villain list that said, "Fair fights ar for people who never learned to ignore schoolyard taunts. It takes a real man to ignore screams of 'Seven to one odds aren't fair!'"

And there was a hero list with these in it:

If given a choice between poisoning the dragon and facing it in armed combat, the beast will develope a sudden case of indigestion.

I will not fall for the voluptuous counter agent who will betray me to her master.
I will not fall for the voluptuous counter agent who will betray me to her master.
I will not fall for the voluptuous counter agent who will betray me to her master.
I will not fall for the voluptuous counter agent who will betray me to her master.
I will not fall for the voluptuous counter agent who will betray me to her master...

If given the c hoice between fighting the dragon and poisoning it, the beast will develope a sudden case of indigestion.

Top Ten Signs You Just Met the Main Bad Guy

Your assassin henchman just wet his pants.
The ancient red dragon you had just been fighting says "S**t, I'm out of here!"
and flies away.
The bad guy just laughed evilly, and seven birds fell dead out of the sky.
The DM chuckles, and says "I spent seven hours rolling this guy up".
The bad guy burps, and a human toe flies out of his mouth.
The DM plays a tape of scary organ music, and starts talking like Boris Karloff.
The bad guy is dressed all in black, but has one of those little yellow smiley face
buttons (DMs can be sooo sarcastic).
You point your wand of fire at him, and it melts.
The bad guy keeps Elminster in a cage, and occasionally pokes him with a fork.
After the battle, the only Player Character to survive is the one that stayed
back in town with the flu.

Two is this list
TOP SIXTEEN SIGNS YOUR CAT MAY BE PLOTTING WORLD DOMINATION
16. Sits on your newspaper in the morning and carefully reads the coded message that Garfield sends out every day
15. Used to sleep on top of TV, now monitors CNN 24 hours a day
14. Notably absent from home during surprise feline invasion of Poland
13. When you enter room, Snowball and other members of the Tri-Cateral Commission stop talking and begin playing with yarn
12. Behind the couch you find a forged passport, plane tickets and nine suicide bombs
11. What you thought was "heat"; is actually a four-legged goose step
10. Well "somebody" subscribed to alt.cats.world.domination
9. Autopsy of the last mouse left on your doormat reveals "tattoo" to be blueprint of the UN building
8. Constantly petting that bald man he keeps on his lap
7. Kitty Chow spilled on the floow spells out "Drop the car keys and leave the door open or the dog gets it in the head"
6. Then -- dead mice in the kitchen. Now -- dead third world dictators in the basement
5. Judging from the kitchen, he seems to be working on some kind of "land mine" technology

Everyone
Secret identities are even less effective here than in Western comics. I will pay especial attention to hair color and style.
I will keep an eye out for people who hang out in groups of five--or four, if I have recently discovered my unusual talents.
I will attempt to keep my transformation sequence as short as possible.
If I can use magical or supertechnological detection, so can my opponents.
I will never assume that any force I can wield is invincible.
At least one Good Guy is related to at least one Bad Guy.
I will pay close attention when two new people show up at once, especially if they are similar in more than superficial ways. This is especially important if logic seems to indicate they can't possibly be the same person for some reason.
Cute girls who clearly Aren't From Around Here are important--I will recruit or disable them as my alignment dictates.
I will never attempt to subvert prophecy.

I will consider the possibility that the girl named "Moon Rabbit" has something to do with my nemesis Sailor Moon.
If I have siblings, I will attempt not to argue with them or get into discussions of who's more attractive. It annoys the Boss and we're all going to end up good anyway.
I will send out more than one demon/monster/minion at a time, so that one can complete the mission while the other leads the Heroes on a wild goose chase.
I will not allow the Hero into my Inner Sanctum where the object that supplies my power is located. I may be more mondo there, but one'll get you ten the Hero will blow it up.
I will keep in mind that enough sucsessive failures will cause the Boss to replace me even if I'm his/her "favorite." I will console myself with the knowledge that he/she is going down even harder than I am.
I will not feel confident that I will win just because I have killed or captured all the Hero's comrades. Odds are I've just pissed him/her off enough to use the really inpressive attack.
If my younger sibling comes to save me from evil, I will prove that evil is the way to go by shooting him/her on the spot.
The ditzy one is probably the Hero.
When people start making pronouncements about Love, Honor, Courage, or what-have-you during the climactic fight, I will get out of the line of fire no matter how close to victory I think I am.
I will watch out for insanely lucky heroes. If the hero is a moron, but has still survived Certain Doom on multiple occasions,I will think twice about launching an assault, especially if I am planning to use Overwhelming Force.
1. I will not indulge in manic, high-pitch laughter. While I am in throes of such laughter, my enemy will inevitably do or say something to cut my laughter short in the end. And that never bodes well for me, does it?

2. If I wear dramatic make-up, I will not close my eyes while explain to my captive why I adorn my face with such garish colors. Or if I do, I will make sure they are tied up first.

3. Any and all SDs will be killed on sight.

4. I will arm all my troops with machine guns, so that the amazing sword-wielding samurai will be shot down no matter how much he twirls his sword around. It's mighty tough to dodge a couple hundred rounds a second.

5. I will not employ only troops with small eyes, deformed faces, and no eyebrows. There are plenty of attractive people out there willing to be evil, and attractive evil troops will confuse my enemies.

6. All mechs that I do not own will be confiscated and melted down.

7. I will inform my legions of animated terror that they are not to attempt to rape the brainless enemy woman. It inevitably brings out the ones who have sworn to protect her.

8. Before I send anyone to fight my nemesis one-on-one, I will make sure that they have had sufficient psychological counseling so that my enemy, with his amazing skills at psychoanalysis, can't talk my fighter into realizing he is misguided, is himself a good person at heart, and should turn against me or kill himself.

9. All tall, brooding, long-haired men will be summarily shot.

10. Any brainless, clumsy girls with strange hairstyles and large appetites will be summarily shot.

11. All florist shops will be secretly bombed in the middle of the night.

12. If I kill off the family of the one standing in my way to absolute power, I will make sure I kill all of them.

13. If I randomly kill people for fun, or to take the fall for me as I rise to power, I will make sure I kill off all of their family. I will not leave alive a single child who will grow up with my face emblazoned forever in their memory. The same goes for if I kill someone's S.O. I'll just off them both. I'm a bad-ass like that.

14. When the sleeping soul of the ancient warrior inside me awakens, and I realize my student is the sleeping soul of my enemy, but hasn't awakened yet, I will not wait for him to awaken and then try to convince him to join my side. I'll kill him while I still have the element of surprise.

15. I will not secretly orchestrate the murder of the sister of my prize pupil so that he will have revenge to drive him towards achieving greatness in his martial arts. It's just not a good idea for my long-time survival. It's just not.

16. If I ever need to kill off the powerful onmyouji who is in love with me, I will make sure I kill *him*, not his twin sister.

17. I will make sure that the terrible calamity that has befallen me to make me evil actually happened. No good in becoming evil and then finding out I was wrong and should now atone.

18. I will not develop an inexplicable yaoi/yuri lust for my enemy. There are plenty of other bish out there for me to set my sights on.

19. I will not sadistically play with my former friend/new nemesis when I awaken into the Dark Me and he's still in shock over my transformation. I will just kill him right then while his jaw is hanging open. No need to wait for the Promised Day if I can do it now.

20. When in battle, shoot the odd looking teenage girls first.

21. If my nemesis is a giant robot, I will round up all psychologically disturbed kids and have them shot.

22. My invisible soldiers will not waste precious seconds wondering what the hero is doing. Chances are the hero is using some elaborate method of detecting them. Just shoot the guy.

23. If I am in search of someone with a formidable reputation, I will not gawk in disbelief if the person I find is a staggering klutz. I will instead shoot the guy.

24. If someone comes after me with a sword, I will not pull out my own sword of other close-contact weapon. Instead, I pull out my gun and shoot him.

25. I will not send in legions of soldiers and/or giant robots against a single soldier and/or giant robot that has already killed legions of soldiers and/or giant robots. Nor will I melt down all of my giant robots to construct one really big giant robot that will squish that single soldier/robot like a bug. I will instead target him with a nuclear missile and blow him out of existence.

26. When two of my enemies have a misunderstanding and start to fight one another, I will not stand by and watch as if it is entertainment. Instead, I will take advantage of their momentary lapse of judgment and kill them both.

27. I will not alter Fate. It really doesn't help.

28. I will not surround myself with busty women when I am supposed to be forming a strategy.

29. If I am a busty woman, I will not wear clothing that looks as though certain parts of my anatomy will pop out at any moment. My mind is supposed to be on conquering the world and consolidating my power base, not keeping my boobs in place.

30. I will not capture the sister of my enemy and turn her into a bloodthirsty, psychopathic man. It's never a good idea, even on paper.

31. I will not repair my enemy's demolished mech and invite him to a rematch.

32. I will not fight a mech that is listening to classical music. Chances are they've got a whole routine planned out. I would not survive that kind of preparation.

33. I'll be a lone fighter instead of the maniacally laughing Overlord of an army of dumb & deformed evil minions because:
a) Devious lone villains are much harder to kill.
They have better clothes.
c) They get all the good lines.
d) They get to vacillate back and forth between good & evil.
e) When female, they have gravity defying cleavage and really cool boots. I don't care much about the cleavage (it would probably throw me off balance) but I'd kill to own the shoes.

34. Instead of patiently waiting for the hero/ine to finish their long-winded speech about how I am evil and will be punished (ex: Ai to no seigi no sailorfuku no bishoujo senshi Sailormoon! Tsuki ni kawatte, Oshikyo!) I let them start talking, and shoot them in the middle of it.
Corollary A: If the hero begins to name his or her attack (ex: Moon Gorgeous Meditation! Shiny Aqua Illusion! Pink Sugar Heart Attack! Dragon Slave! Mono Bolt!), I'll strike *before* they finish speaking.
Corollary B: If the hero/ine needs to transform in order to do battle, I'll shoot during the protracted transformation sequence. My opponent will be dead before the canned music ends.

35. If I ever face the hero/ine in hand-to-hand combat I will refrain from boasting about my prowess, taunting my opponent or naming my attacks before I execute them (see #34, Corollary A).

36. If I ever face a brooding hero who wears a long cape and/or black coat in hand-to-hand combat, my method of attack will be as follows:
1) Grab edge of cape/coat and pull it over brooding hero's head.
2) Use hidden knife to stab brooding hero's exposed back.


37. I will remember that even if I have magical fireballs, killer flower-petal cyclones or slavering youma at my disposal, the fastest and most effective means for dispatching an enemy is with a quick shot to the head.

38. After the heroine turns my slavering evil youma to dust, I will not appear and taunt her with the fact that I have bigger, better youma to send after her and her friends. I will appear and shoot the heroine just when she thinks she has won.

39. When facing a diverse group of heroes, always take out the computer geek first. Once deprived of the geek's amazing ability to state the obvious, the rest of the group will be completely lost.

40. Although I have nothing against transvestites, I will never enter into a pact to eliminate my enemies with an effete, cross-dressing male villain. Yes, his ability to disguise himself as the heroine would come in handy, but his giggling would prove endlessly annoying, and his vanity would, undoubtedly, be his undoing.

41. I will NOT kidnap the heroine's boyfriend and brainwash him to be my love slave. Relationships based on brainwashing NEVER work out.

42. Since talking animal compatriots are, invariably, the brains behind any collection of kawaii anime heroes, if I am ever faced with such a group, I'll kill the talking animal instead of wasting my time going after the heroine's friends one by one.

43. If I must hire an assassin, I will hire someone I am certain isn't working for some *other* aspiring evil overlord.

44. I will not send tentacle monsters after helpless young women; all it will do is make people angry, which is bad for PR.

45. I will not inform the heroes/heroines of my plans to become a god until after this has already been accomplished; otherwise, they will fight all the harder to defeat me.

46. I will not wait until my dying breaths to inform my enemies of my horrible backstory so they'll at least understand my rationale. I will inform them of this earlier and use their compassion against them.

47. I will have my own cute sidekick, so the brainless idiots who go up against me will decide I can't be all bad...

48. In the early stages of my way to absolute power, I will not piss off the government; bureaucrats can get in one's way far more effectively than a bunch of heroes.

49. In the early stages of my way to absolute power, I will not piss off the yakuza; yakuza can kill one far more unpleasantly than a bunch of heroes.

50. I will not hire psychotic pyromaniacs who scream out "Die!" or "Burn!" or the hero's name on a regular basis, or any combination thereof. That kind of mental weakness will not be tolerated in my world-conquering armies.

51. But if I do need to hire one, I will make for damn sure that I am not related to the one the psychopath is ranting about. Not even distantly.

52. I will not wear a long, flowing black trenchcoat and sunglasses. It's a dead giveaway that one is an evil schemer.

53. All sakura trees will be burned to the ground. This assures that the Petals Of Death will not follow me around and make it obvious even to me that I'm toast.

54. I will not make plans that culminate in someone making a wish over which I have no direct control.

55. My female sycophants will be properly attired at all times. The last thing I need is the other half of my sycophants getting nosebleeds every other minute.

56. If I am attempting to instigate some kind of major cosmic change, I will make sure I know all the specifics of the way things work presently; there's no real point if the change ends up trapping me in a hell of my own making.

57. I will not attempt to destroy the world on the assumption that its creator wants it that way unless I'm sure I'm right.

58. I will make sure my children are happy. The last thing I need is for them to ruin my perfect plan at the zero hour.

59. If I am an evil immortal stuck in a child's body, I will make sure I powder my cheeks regularly so they have the two spots of pink normal children have.

60. I will not turn my relatives into chimeras or tentacle monsters.

61. I will not turn myself into a tentacle monster. Do you know how hard it is to find sycophants who can understand "Maaaaaamuuuuuoooooorrllllllluuuuuuugggghhhhhhhh..."?!!?

62. I will not try to turn my now peace-loving enemy back into the hitokiri/berserker/mighty warrior he once was so I can fight him as he was back then. And if by some stupid chance I do, if it looks like I'm losing, I will have one of my nearby sycophants shoot him in the back then kill all the hero's stunned comrades. After all, it's the winner who writes the history books.

Black Mage from 8bit theater
Richard from Looking for Group
Gregory House from House MD (I know he's not actually evil but you know what I mean)
The guy who made this (WARNING: *sick* content and definitely NSFW)
The authors of the Happy Tree Friends series

I'm not sure Darth and Melificent count. Didn't they both turn good?

Ummmm NO. Maleficent actually turned not good, but into a big freaking dragon. Then the Prince hucked a sword into her chest and she died in flames. Darth, I dunno, I'm more of a star TREK person than a star WARS person. I vaguely remember something like that though.

Richard Rahl. He taught me to kick little girls in the face and to kill unarmed hippies. Oh, and that the Clintons suck.

I identify myself more with red mage (yes, red mage) from 8-bit theatre, so I can't say black mage (*sigh*)

I definitely look up to the guy who wrote this
Dogbert from Dilbert for sure
Edmund from "King Lear" (He's one of *those* guys, RUN!)
Milo from Catch-22 (Why does he keep mentioning literature)
Dane Cook (I *think* he's evil)
Lewis Black (Definitely evil)

Evil role models... haha, wonderful topic.

First and foremost, one of my best friends, who was our group GM for years.
Then, after I started GMing, my players.
The only thing more evil than angsty, teenage roleplayers is the angsty, teenage roleplayer who has to watch all his favorite NPCs die week after week.

Grand Moff Tarkin, for being Vader's boss and perfectly portraying the cultured mass-murderer right up until he refused to evacuate in his moment of triumph.

Old Scratch, tempting country folk with eternal damnation since long before it was cool.

Genghis Khan, who inspired fear throughout the world and still managed to die of old age while at the height of his power and popularity. (You could easily argue that the Great Khan was not evil, and I'd agree... but he still makes a fine role model for any villain)

The Cardassians, who more than equal the Borg in their utter disregard for "lesser" species.

Aoshi Shinomori, the only anime villain ever to name his attacks after using them successfully. Even if it it was only once or twice, and even if it only appeared successful for about a minute - that's still above and beyond the call.

Morgan Everett from the video game Deus Ex, for two reasons: 1) He's ostensibly on your side, and never actually betrays you... just has you do things that further his own plans for world domination without appearing too evil, and 2) Because he has infinite hit points. Every villain should make attaining that power a major priority.

Alec Baldwin from Team America: World Police, even if he was just Kim Jong-Il's puppet (pun intended), for the line, "You can't out-act me, boy. Don't even try."

Vlad Tepes. Anyone who faces an army three times the size of theirs and thinks "I will distract them by impaling 20,000 people while I think of a cunning plan" has got to be up there.

Richard as well.

<-------Him!!!! Sephiroth is my #1 Fave. Im totaly gay for this man alone.

Artemis Entreri, nuff said.

*Edit* I'm talkin' old-school Entreri, The Artemis after Servant of the shard is a pansy-ass

Old school Entreri got pwned by Drizzt every time anyway

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
Richard (LFG)
Darth Sidious (Star Wars)
HK-47 (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic)
Kriea (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords)
Lynx (Chrono Cross)
Sesshoumaru (Inuyasha)

Lets see my evil role models are.

Krato's (God of War)
Gabe (Penny Arcade)
Yuri (Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge)
O' Mally (Red vs Blue)

Hm, i would say... Cookie monster. Hes evil right? Noone can eat that much cookies without being some kind of evil.

Richard-LFG (obviously)
Bender-Futurama
CHESS-MÄR
Snowball-Southpark, Hare Club For Men episode AKA: the Easter episode

something as cute as snowball has got to be evil, plus you can see the flames in his eye and i bet all of you can picture him/her dinning upon all of the human race! *done*

How could I forget this one?

Also, Zim from Invader Zim adds to my previous list.

First is Black Mage what a bad ass a spell that uses love to kill everything its just great
Emperor Palpatine he enslaved damn near a galaxy
Zim
Darken Rahl he used a child to make a undead horse thing
And the truly odd one Solid Snake hes so good he has to be truly evil

I can't help but noticing how Belkar from Order of the Stick is totally missing from my list, which is quite unforgivable if you consider that he ranks as high as second place (right after Black Mage)...

There's that one little voice that's been going on in my head...

I'd have to say...John, from Saw. The guy has a tumor in his cranium and can still spend time making hideously complex plots to ruin people's lives. And, he's one of the very few villains that ever survived.

Perhaps the coolest villain to ever wear a monocle:
The Penguin

I agree with you but you mistake it if you think he was ruining peoples lives. He was just trying to make them realise how precious their life really was and wake them up from the evil or sad/pathetic way they were living. He's definately a Evil good guy lol and i love his twisted mentality.

This topic caught my eye so I figured, eh why not? It's a decent sized list but I figured I'd boil it down to the #1 most important villan.

Starscream- Transformers

Star Scream is indeed evil (as well as kick as. Hes a jet how can he not be?) but he pails before the evilness of...



I mean come on, this guy is evil. He eats babies and stuff.

I do believe I left Johnnie the Homicidal Maniac off my list. Anyone who can toss a hand grenade into an occupied bathroom stall with a smile on his face because too many people used the word "wacky" HAS to make the list. Even if he was ...sorta... the hero.

My evil role model?
Richard. Defiantly.
He's random, unpredictable, sadistic and evil. Just like me.

Who cares about eating babies? There's only one dude badass enough to POSESS a baby and that's Freddy Kruger.

Willie from bad santa.

Bloo from Foster's home for imaginary friends.

Scratch Furry: Destroyer of Worlds

Darth Vader

Brain

Spyder- One could ALMOST see how you could come up with that. As for me, however, he is a complete villain with no redeeming features. First, in order to HELP people realized how precious their lives are and to "wake up" as you say, he would have to allow them to live. Second, to me he comes off as a jealous and pathetic individual who decided that if he wasn't going to live, neither would the random people he picked out to terrorize. Personally I think his greatest wish is to rack up as many deaths as he can before he (hopefully) dies himself. So, while he definitely fits the mold of sadistic villain fitting for this list, he is in no way a good guy or antihero.

And on a side note, when the hell IS he going to die?

1. Joker (either the one by Caesar Romaro or Mark Hammil)
2. Ganon (no one said him! His Princess stealing skill are better than Bowser's)
3. SPECTER

Sometime after Saw 1004, I don't really see the need for the sequels to the new horror movies, it just dilutes what really wasn't that great in the first place.

Well, the first was good because of the thinkage I got from the ending...from what I hear, the second was just random killings. And, well, it all goes downhill from there? I mean, if you look at the movie it's pretty incredible; the entire thing was low-production, but it's still a good movie in its genre.

Kratos from God of War.

'nuff said.

HOW COULD WE FORGET GANNON!!!!!!!! I still say sephiroth would kick his ass, but gannon is my second fave!!!

On that note...how about KANE fron Tiberium sun. That guy is NUTS!!!

Kratos also one of my more sick role models.

How about the lead villain from the Crow- evilness, power, hotness, and even a little *flinch* incest, I think.

At the end of Kingdom hearts 2 she and Pete saved the heroes lives

I don't care if Disney was involved in the game, wholesale mass slaughter of canon gives me siezures. *violently twitches* Then again, it's DISNEY, anyone who's ever read a book they made a movie of knows that canon doesn't really exist in their world.

She's evil in my book, and the movie, anyway.

Hmm. The Reaper's always been a hero of mine, I dunno if he counts as a villain. But yay for the personified incarnation of Death!

The mother in Mixed Myth http://mixedmyth.comicgenesis.com/

Heres my list, no real order

Sepheroth (#1)
Jango Fett (not really evil, but had to add him to the list)
Richard (duh)
Darth Vader (he killed off almost all of the most noble beings in the universe, thats evil)
and some others I cant think of
