So, quick, easy question for all of you: who's your favorite villain? They can be from a book, a movie, a video game, or what have you.

Some of my favorites include Mayor Prentiss from the Chaos Walking trilogy (one of the most cunning, manipulative bastards ever written imho), Mordred and Walter o'Dimm from The Dark Tower (Mordred for shocking brutality in a series with relatively little violence, and Walter for being everywhere), and Herr Starr from Preacher (for his constant humiliations throughout the comic). I may add more later, if I get around to thinking about why I like so many villains :P

I know this will probably be impossible, but please try to keep your explanations spoiler-free.

Thinking hard from my favorite book series Discworld: The Auditors of reality...
On other hand one of the most magnisifient character in litterature is Lord Vetinari. But he is not a villain really, he just gets stuff working, and who care about mimes anyway ;D

From Good Omens the Four Horsemen of Acoplyse, such a brilliant methods...

Natla from Tomb Raider, of course. Although I adore the visual redesign she got in Anniversary, her speech before getting knocked off a ledge by a certain troublesome adventurer was far better in 1. Without saying much, her idea of altering genetics and sort of forcing evolution's hand was just awesome. That and she's just a badass - cruel, cunning, ruthless, willing to use people like tools to further her plans... perfect brilliant, but cold hearted villainess. <3 Although cold hearted's somewhat debatable considering why she did what she did; it was more the how. Oh, and she looks amazing for her age, but if I say what age she is... then that's a spoiler.

Also, I'd be lying if I said she had nothing to do with why I keep my nails as long as I do. I already had them grown out about her nails' length before Anniversary came out, but seeing them on her (and seeing her use my shade of nail polish!) did make me want to keep mine even more. lol
