Ok this thread is about who you think the greatest top ten villains are. It can be from any medium, ie: comics, manga, t.v., movies, etc... just as long as they are actual villains. It would be cool if you said the reason for why you choose whoever as your ultimate bad guy.

Most of mine are from the DC universe,

#1. The Joker, he is just the epitome of a villain. Literally no remorse, insane, loves chaos and has no ulterior motives or goals other than wanting to wreak havoc.

Here are the rest of my top ten:
2.Darkseid
3.Magneto
4.Darth Vader
5.Lex Luthor
6.Doomsday
7.Sinestro
8.Orochimaru
9.Carnage
10.Randall Flagg(The Man In Black from the Dark Tower books)

I hope you are all joking.Favorite villain of all time Lex Luthor? Or Madara? Or Orochimaru? That's ridiculous...

No, he is not. Although he is an interesting character he is definitely not the epitome of a villain! There is no question that the epitome is Aaron the Moor from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.

To give you a clue, his final words are, 'If one good deed in all my life I did, / I do repent it from my very Soule.' Amongst other things he convinces Demetrius and Chiron, the sons of the Queen, Tamora, to kill Lavinia’s betrothed, Bassianus, in front of her, just to make her grieve. They do this, then rape her and cut her tongue out and hands off, so she can’t tell. Aaron eats it all up.

Then he frames Titus’s sons for Bassianus’ murder, and lies to Titus, that if one of his family will cut of his hand and send it to the emperor, the emperor will spare his two sons. Titus complies, cutting off his hand, which is returned from the emperor, along with Titus’s sons’ heads anyway. Aaron all along knew this would happen and just did so to get pleasure out of it.

Joker compared to Aaron is no more than a brat.

You are right... It's saddening though. I mean, since we are a Naruto forum, I expected to see Madara or Pein but seeing dbz characters? That's just beyond my comprehension.

You are wasting your time, Ive read alot of "good ol literature" it is just that I relate more to modern heroes and villains of comics than I do to older works that have little relevance to our lifestyle. While they may be good works often they don't have any meaning for contemporary people. We don't have the same problems that Shakespeare and others in his era did and they couldn't conceive of some of the issues we have now. Comics are good at depicting moral trials in a more accessible way.

Also you don't have to come on here to insult my thread or my choices. If you disagree with who is a better villain than say so don't insult the character of people you don't even know.

You can have your opinion without insulting mine, and have you actually read the Batman comics? If so then you would know all of the gruesome things that the Joker has done as well. He is also interesting because he is insane and likes to corrupt people. In an attempt to make Batman kill him the Joker beat and killed the second Robin(Jason Todd). He didn't just do that for the fun but to make Batman face a moral dilemma. Also once after Batman defeated him but refused to kill him the joker killed himself just to frame Batman. The joker has as much depth as any character you can toss my way.

I am having my opinion without insulting yours. Everyone is allowed their own personal choices, and so, my opinion is, that calling Lex Luthor a favorite villain is ridiculous. You can also say that my preference was ridiculous too and just end it here. If I can say something then so can you.
In fact I have read some of the Batman comics and, although i despise Batman as a character, Joker is very appealing to me - from a psychoanalytical point of view of course, because this is the only way all villains should be approached in films, fictions and literature.
It does not change the fact, however, that Joker -as most contemporary characters- is merely a synthesis of the archetypal dangers of taboo and an aesthetic representation of stories already told by someone else. And this replies to your previous post as well, which you directed to someone else; some things are trans-cultural and trans-historical, such as the archetypes I mentioned before and the Otherness of ourselves we find in villains.

If that is true then why do you find it ridiculous that I chose the Joker? Because he is a contemporary adaptation of of a character or role that has been previously thought of? Are you asking us all to be anachronists and live in the past? If you agree with the reasons why I chose him then it must be the medium, do you not see comics as having important literary value?

Also calling something that I think ridiculous is the very definition of insulting my opinion.
