    I'd agree with Doom.

    I've also got a huge soft spot for Green Goblin and Hobgoblin.

    Bullseye for his ruthlessness.

    Joker, but only the Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill versions, the comic version is generally a bit rubbish aside from in The killing Joke.

    Best villain ever though, for me, has to be Cobra Commander. A used car salesman who sets up a wordwide terrorist group using a pyramid scheme and then defeats the good guys using lawyers, ending up with his own sovereign nation island.... the guy's a genius!

    I'd like to cancel Mesmero and suggest Mumm-Ra, by the way. Ta.

    I was thinking about this in bed last night (as you do), and have decided that Magneto is in fact the correct answer.
  10.  
    But is it "MagNEAT-O" or "MagNET-O" that's the question.

    Um. Yeah, bad guys (and animals. Because!)...
    Johnny Bates/Kid Miracleman. He will turn the world to ash. He will sit atop a mountain of our corpses. He will pick our flesh from his teeth with our shattered bones. And in the end you will still weep for him. (See Miracleman/Marvelman by Alan “Girl, I’m gonna make you sweat.” Moore et al.)

    Darkseid. Likes: jackboots, miniskirts and universal submission. Dislikes: Music. WLTM M/F with Anti-Life Equation. GSOH not necessary. (See The Fourth World by Jack “King” Kirby and Final Crisis by Grant “Jinkies!” Morrison.)

    The Fury. It was made to kill Super-heroes and it absolutely, definitely, unquestionably and categorically will not be stopped (maybe). (See Captain Britain By Alan “I’ve Got A little Something For You” Moore and Alan “Smooth” Davis.)

    Shako! "The only bear on the CIA death list!" (2000AD progs circa 1977). I bet it was by Pat “Misanthropic, not arf!” Mills and some groovy Euro-dudes, anyway, naturally Shako! was an enormous Polar Bear who snarfed a cannister of chemical weapons from a downed Imperialist Yankee plane. The pursuing Agents of The Man (led by Mr. Buck Dollar (really!!)) were thus unable to shoot him for releasing the very death wave they had created. Shako! was free to roam and ravage and man could only scream! O! The irony, Pat "Message!" Mills! Best bit was when Shako! hid in some guy's bathroom and the guy reached out from his shower and mistook Shako! for a towel. Peeled him like an orange Shako! did. The third most awesome thing ever.

    Hook Jaw (Action Weekly circa 1975). You'd be amazed how riveting reading about a shark the size of an articulated truck with a harpoon stuck through its jaw (hence: Hook Jaw!) just swimming about eating people can be to a 5 year old. Like Jaws but without the characterisation, plot or subtlety. It did, however feature many a graphic dismemberment. I likey liked! The Second most awesome thing ever despite being lettered using a typewriter.

    Old One Eye! in Flesh!(2000AD progs circa 1977) When time travelling resource deprived future men dressed as cowboys decided to plunder the past for meaty goodness they didn’t reckon on the she-hag from Hell or the fact that sometimes the food chain runs both ways. Big mistake! Flesh! was of course the proud winner of the title Most Awesome Thing Ever, a title it still holds today with no real competition in sight. Fact.

    and...DOOM!

    I checked with my girlfriend, and she's confirmed I'm right. It is Magneto. There are reasons for this, but I'm typing on a phone so someone else can write them...

    Like Destro, I prefer old Mags as a good guy, makes him far more interesting. As much as I loved Morrison's X-Men run I was glad they changed the ending after he left so that it wasn't really Magneto as the big bad guy (boriiiing, as the kids say). I hope current Magneto sticks around.

    The main difference between Mags and pretty much all other bad guys that spring to mind is that he sorta has a proper point, rather than just being a nutbag or power-crazed.

    My girlfriend would also like me to add that before agreeing with me she first suggested Gorilla Grodd...

    Hook Jaw.

    Best. Shark. Ever.
