Yep. A thread to talk about villains, in a random fashion. I didn't think it was broad enough a topic for the General board.
To start things off...
The Joker.
I don't know about you guys, but I think he's a pretty scary guy. He's either a psychotic maniac, a harmless prankster, or a scheming, conniving madman, from what I've seen. He just keeps coming up with new and different ideas and inventions, always comes up with an atrocious pun at exactly the right moment, AND he works with Harley Quinn, easily my favourite female character in the entire Batman mythos. Noone knows his true identity, although it has been suggested that he is called Jack Napier. It has also been suggested that this is just another false identity.
I don't know the mythos as much as I'd like to, but so far, he's a demented, twisted, ingenious, conniving madman with THE greatest laugh of all time.
Also, he's voice acted by Luke Skywalker. XD

So is the bad guy from the English dub for Castle in the Sky! : - O Coincidence? ...Probably.
Probably my favorite villain (aside from my namesake, of course) would have to be The Mayor, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He's funny, crazy, and, well, evil. One of the funnest things about him is that it gets really hard to not like him. He becomes a father figure of circumstance to, yeah, another villain (well, a villainess), but again, you switch between loving and hating her, which makes you love and hate The Mayor all the more. Besides, he's just so silly!

You've gotta love the silly ones. I'd have to say my favourite 'silly villain' is... Hades, from the Disney version of Hercules.
YES, I know that he's a shameless link between the underworld and 'hell', so Disney made him the villain of the story, but STILL! BLUE FIRE. FOR HAIR. He's witty, he's sarcastic, he's the kind of guy you could actually be friends with, if he wasn't out to kill you. Have you killed, so he can take your soul down to the underworld. According to Disney, it's the same thing.
You know what else is fun?
...RPing a 'silly villain'. It really is.

Does anyone realize the same actor that plays Snape also played an angel in Dogma? Just pointing out the irony there.
Best villian (IMO): Deacon Frost! (as played by Stephen Dorff [Blade]) He (the actor) stole every scene he was in. Freakin' awesome! LOVED the bullet scene.

The Xenomorph Queen from Aliens. Not really a villain but that scene where she fights Ripley is awesome.
Mr. Gone, man of 2 worlds & a master of disguise (from "the Maxx"). Not the most popular show/comic but his personality blows me away. He says he's evil and acts like it too, but he's also a good guy in a way. He knows everything that the main characters and the audience doesn't and has a very dark sadistic humor to him. In the show he is a serial rapist and murderer who tries to kill the hero the Maxx, though it is revealed later his intentions are more deep than simply killing for fun. And as far as I know he's immortal. Plus the voice acting is superb. I encourage everyone to watch "the Maxx" on youtube, it's only 13 episodes, and 12 of them are only 15 minutes. So basically 7 half hour episodes.
And lastly Randal Flagg from Stephen King's The Stand. Probably my favorite villain of all time. He's the epitome of evil, servant of the dark lord. Charming and handsome on the outside, but a soulless mass murderer on the inside. The book the Stand rocks and Randal Flagg is the ultimate bad guy. Here's a quote from the book: "He looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines. When he looks at you a certain way, your prostate goes bad and your urine burns. The grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside. He came out of time. He doesn't know himself. He has the name of a thousand demons. Jesus knocked him into a herd of pigs once. His name is Legion. He's afraid of us. We're inside. He knows magic. He can call the wolves and live in the crows. He's the king of nowhere. But he's afraid of us. He's afraid of . . . inside."

Lovelovelove the xenomorphs.
...Hannibal Lecter. If he counts as a "villain". I loves him. He's a huge inspiration to me. If you've read the books or seen the movies, I needn't write another thing about him.

You should read The eyes of the Dragon. I think it was Flagg's first appearance.

I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned them but...Megabite and Hexidecimal. The brother/sister duo of viruses from Reboot who tried to kill each other. Megabite was a cool villian because he had his own style and a sense of honor, like when he spared Bob after Bob saved him in a game, and during Enzo's birthday he came out, played a rock guitar and gave the guitar to Enzo as a gift. Whats more he even kept the spirite that had a hand in creating him as a pet (in null form). He was always trying to take over Mainframe with some plot of plan, and had two idoitic flunkies he kept with him most of the time (who eventually became good guys).
Then there is his sister, Hex. Where Megabite had psysical might and armies and weapons, Hex had fantastic, almost magical powers, and where Megabite was logical and orderly, Hex was insane and chaotic. Where he wanted to rule everthing, she just wanted to create havoc and mayhem. One time she released a virus into mainframe that turned everone to stone, including her brothers tower. She ended up infecting all of Mainframe (except for Bob who was immune) and had actually won. Until Bob "thanked" her for making Mainframe so peaceful and orderly. Once she relised this, she merely snapped her fingers and everthing went back to normal. Gotta love a villian whos out of their gourd. She became a good guy in the end, but she was one heck of a villian when she was one.

Dearlordtheyweremyfavourites.
I can't believe I didn't think of them! They're so awesome! They both used to scare me and make me giggle. Megabite's henchmen, the red and blue fellows, they were Hack and Slash, yes?
As far as awesome villains go, those two are brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Crazy versus calm. Order versus chaos. Method versus madness. Goodness me. I always wondered why Megabite didn't just go out and do stuff himself, but I eventually figured out that it was just plain beneath him a lot of the time. He's a master. And Hexidecimal, jiminy crickets but she was bonkers. And I love her house-type-place. I want to go watch Reboot now.
I love any interaction between them, and how they don't always have to be beaten up to be made to stop, hehe. The medusa-virus episode (I think that's what they called it? I'm not sure.) was one of my favourites for exactly that reason. The world gets pretty mellow when there's nothing moving.
Thanks for bringing them up!

Honestly...I have no other favorite villain than the Joker. His laugh gives me the best chills...and he does, in fact, have a superpower: he knows about the 4th wall. He's honestly the only villain I know about who does.

Argust from The Saturdays - I like my villians calculated, crafty, honest! and in control. Quixoto almost but being strung up in dungeons has knocked him back a few notches. Does Sammy count? Definately Sammy. Rasimov from Huntik.

Marvel: Okay, definitely Deadpool, though he's more of an anti-hero than a villain, per se.
DC: The Riddler. Possibly my favorite Batman villain as far as concepts go. I do not like the original outfit. I much prefer the most recent designs.
Video Game: GLaDOS. Psychpathic artificial intelligence has been done before, but not with such successful black humor.
Book: Artemis Fowl. He's only really a villain in the first book, but a genius one, regardless. I'm really into the Artemis Fowl series right now.
Webcomic: And the Felt from Homestuck (Though it was an intermission). Their time travel abilities are a marvelous source of comedy and I always love to see time shenanigans done well.

My all time favorite villain ever is the Corinthian from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman."
