Khan. I mean come on... the guy could quote Shakespeare and still sound cool. I think we almost have to look at Khan as a given. The real question is who's number TWO.
I'm torn, but I'm inclined to go with Lore simply because his capacity for evil was virtually unbounded. But perhaps the greatest of evils is betrayal. To that end I would have to put Captain R. M. Merrick in for a nomination.
im going to be controversial and say khan was not that great. for a super genius he was a bit slow on the uptake at times.
dukat is my all time favourite. if you consider garak to be a villain, which i personally dont as i think he ultimately was more good than bad, then he would probably beat him.

Dukat was definitely great, he always had a way to justify his actions and put a positive spin on the evil things he did. Those are the best villians.
It's too bad Enterprise didn't go another few seasons. I think if they had the opportunity to do some more Mirror Universe episodes some of them would be in the running..
He should get reassembled and become the next big STO villain.
If necessary, they can say that they just stole his positronic matrix and had to install him in a new android body, changing his looks from Brent Spiner.
When I think "Trek Villian" the first name that always comes to mind is always Khan with an honorable mention to the Romulan Commander from the TOS episode "Balance of Terror."
Kahn is obviously the number 1 villian, Shinzon tried but failed to fill his shoes for TNG. I cannot help but find it amusing that Kirk's ultimate enemy was a genetically enhanced superbeing, while Picard's was a defective clone of himself. Shinzon did manage to prove that Picard was his own worst enemy.
The Romulan Commander from the TOS episode "Balance of Terror" is also an excellent villian.
Garth of Izar from the TOS episode "Whom Gods Destroy" is probably one of the most underapreciated villians.
Trelane from the TOS episode "The Squire of Gothos" was very memorable, so memorable Q was an obvious homage to him.
Koloth, Kang, and Kor were most excellent foils.
Nomad from the TOS episode "The Changeling" was so awesome that he was rehashed as V'Ger in the Motion Picture.
The Borg Queen from First Contact, is the best TNG ever did, and they had to break all established canon to do it.
Lore was a good villian.
Gul Madred from TNG episode "Chain of Command"
Roga Danar from the TNG episode "The Hunted" was an entertaining adversary, though not trully a villian.
The baddies from TNG episode "Conspiracy" had great potential, but were never fully developed.
Shran is not a villian.
My favorite "villians" in any variant of Star Trek were never people but, rather, the intangibles. Prejudice, fear, ignorance, arrogance. My favorite episodes were the ones where THESE were the primary adversaries to be vanquished. That's what I feel became increasingly absent in the series (both TV and Movies) as it progressed. That's what I would MOST like to see a return to both in the series and in STO. And the wonderful thing about intangibles is they can come back again and again and again with no need to invent some stupid resurrection plot heheheheh

The other one would be Lord Kruge, the only Klingon to actually outwit Kirk (though by underhanded means).
edit: I was ninja'd by Doc Brown! What a villain!!

...Keiko O'brien is a close second

"We" are never the bad guys. If you watched the Cardassian version of the show where he a traitorous exile...
If he'd been on more, Tomalak could have been at their level.
2. Intendant Kira (mirror universe)
3. Khan
4. Dukat
5. Weyoun
6. Lore

sadly the Q exist in a evolutionary Dead end and will evolve into little more than balls of energy before long
simple uncomplicated and BORED.
