Personally, I love the Joker (have two tattoos of him), but he is not the greatest villain of all time. Mr. Blonde, Deathstroke, and Brainiac are placed way too low on the list, too IMO. Thoughts?

[K7 - WC's Crowd Extra]

Awesome. Piper made the list!

[EvilMasterBetty, Esq.]

It is a damn shame my namesake was overlooked.

Also, Sephiroth and Iago are way too low. Buu is a bit too high. Sure he's strong and turns people into chocolate, but he was actually beaten by the Spirit Bomb, which never happens.

[Brick Killed a Guy]

Awesome! Ed Rooney and Bill Lumberg made the list.

Now where's John Cena??

[G✇JI☈A]

#44 Baby.


ANd I found it funny that Starscream polled higher than Megatron.

Darth Vader should of been in the top 5. I guess the Prequels may have something to do him being out voted by Borgs, Zombies and a Shark.

Why in god's name is Stewie Griffin on there?

I wondered the same.

And lol @ Iago.. How many posters actually know the play, I ask..?

[Stu]

While I don't agree that Joker should be number one, he's indeed a great villain and is an acceptable choice for the top spot. But I agree that Darth Vader should have been in the top 5, and Megatron and Cobra Commander both should have been ranked higher, or at least higher than Starscream and Serpentor. I'm also glad, though, that Dr. Doom and Lex Luthor made it into the top ten.

[THE Dinobot]

I don't agree with almost all of it, but that's what list are meant to do.
No Mumm-Ra? Me sad. Stewie? They're all mad I tell ya's....MAD!!!

(they're not correct)

That spirit bomb was made from every living thing in the universe.
Plus Buu countered it, untill Goku got his strength back.

and lastly Buu was a complete bastard.

*On topic* Very Nice list

[Baixo Astral]

*Pops for Kid Miracleman mention*

How the hell Thanos can beat Darkseid, I have no idea.

[Joker]

I'm Number 1!!! ...

Well I agree with number one position, but Stewie is a mistake surely, is Catwoman really a villian though, sometimes she is on Bat's side ... hmmm.

Glad to see The Thing made it

I saw Iago in one of the posts before carefully scanning the list and thought..."The parrot from Aladdin? He was more annoying than dangerous."

My one complaint...Max Cady, Bill the Butcher, John Doe and Roddy Piper are less evil than Grand Moff Tarkin? Damn you, Star Wars! Damn you to a...a...a tarnished legacy!!!

I also would've found room for the villain from "Oldboy" (best movie villain EVER), Hank Scorpio from The Simpsons ("In fact, I didn't even give you my jacket!") and Otis Driftwood from "House of 1000 Corpses/The Devil's Rejects"

All of my complaints are assauged by the fact that Francis Bux-TON, Dean Wormer and Biff Tannen made the list. Quality.

[Rorschach]

Woo-HOO! Number 10 with a bullet, babay! ;D

In reality, that list is waaay skewed, and nowhere NEAR accurate. Leatherface, Freddy et al. should be in the low twenties. I mean, Catwoman ahead of Leatherface? How many teenagers has SHE brutally murdered?

[Kash Flagg]

Damn, no Torgo.

[erisi236]

Serpentor 10 spots better then Cobra Commander?!?

General Zod is way too low as well

[Kash Flagg]

Think Ozymandias should have been higher, and the stupid zombies moved way lower.

Also Starscream over Megatron? Starscream was just a backstabbing coward...who ended up dying thanks to a certain "transformed (pun intended) Megatron/Galvatron.

Maybe a mass voting frenzy by the undead.

[Rorschach]

Or maybe the voting was....rigged!

I agree on Ozymandias, though. He only caused the end of the world. Those other folks ahead of him are much worse. /Sarcasm.
