Greatest Villains of All Time

[Erranty]

I ran across this when I was browsing. And it really came down to some tough choices.

For me it came down to:
Virgil (DMC3) Vs. The Joker (Batman): I had to pick the Joker, just because I'd be lying to myself otherwise.

Kerrigan (Starcraft) Vs. Heihachi (Tekken): Kerrigan got it.

Sephiroth Vs. Team Rocket: Sephiroth got it, even though I'm more of a Pokémon fanboy, I had to.

Darth Vader Vs. Cervantes (Soul Calibur): This one I haven't been able to make a decision on. They're both parents. They both dominate their opponents. They're both dark and awesome. I'm literally thinking of doing a coin toss to decide. Cervantes is more of a villain though.


But then, I have:
The Joker Vs. Kerrigan, Cervantes Vs. Sephiroth, and the winners of each of those facing each other!

The Joker: Greatest comic book villain in history! But he's not exactly fighting superman...
Kerrigan: Queen of the Zerg, ability to use magic, sexy.
Cervantes: Immortal, feeds on souls, is the only being able to wield Soul Edge without succumbing to its will.
Sephiroth: The famous boogie man of FF7, got defeated by a rookie, can reincarnate, cool headed attitude no matter what!

So yeah, who would you chose? And TRUST ME, choosing Cervantes over Darth Vader was HAAAAARRRRDDD!

I'd still pick Colonel Nohman over ALL of those villains.
I mean, Overpowered? when in Anubis, very much so.
Psychopathic? So much so that he doesn't just want a world filled with chaos, he wants the destruction of EVERYTHING.
Able? Were it not for a sudden pot-luck move made by Jehuty and Dingo, he would have succeeded in accomplishing his goal, a goal which cannot be undone by anyone once it's been accomplished, no matter how powerful they are.

I'd say that comes pretty close to tops.

Bernkastel, from Umineko no Naku Koro ni (some people count VNs as 'games', right?)

Forget those lame assholes like Sephiroth or Kefka or Team Rocket or whoever the hell, they're just two dimensional flat Mary Sue villains that are basically all the same guy under different names, with little depth or meaning beyond being a bad dude to stop.

Bernkastel, however, is a Witch of Miracles. She is someone spiritually connected to, and based off of, a beloved hero from Higurashi, Rika Furude, and thus gains our trust as readers. She supports us while showing little emotion or regard, and despite being totally distant, we feel we can trust her.

But she betrays this trust, revealing herself to be responsible for just about everything bad that's happened in the series, and is still playing all sides against each other to create more suffering. Why? Because she's bored. The worst part is that she's pretty much immortal and unkillable.

YHVH, because thinking about punching that douche in the face/body in MT2 and SMT2 makes me giddy as can be. :B

It's true that godmode trolls piss me off more than anything, but that's all Bernkastel really is in that sense; a massive, godmoding TROLL.
And being the troll that she is, I can't really see her as being a 'true' villain.

I'm of the opinion that psychopathic doomsday enthusiasts who find beauty in sucking the universe into a supermassive blackhole -A la Aumaan- to be a bit more 'villain' material than your standard troll -A la Umineko/ Higurashi-

Come talk to me again when you play EP7. She's outright EVIL, and pretty much the biggest villain in the franchise.

I think the greatest villain of all time for me was..... my father.
