Favourite non Star Trek sci fi villain

There has been a thread on favourite trek villains

But who is your favourite non trek sci fi villain?

Mine is Alfred Bester from B5, really well played by Walter Koenig

He is totally unscrupulous in his goals and has been a constant thorn in the side of the B5 command staff

From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      Gotta agree with the OP's Bester, especially since you can really hear Walter Koenig having an absolute blast playing him. Let's see, who else?

      Mitth'raw'nuruodo from the Star Wars EU. Smart, careful, goal-oriented antagonist rather than a one-note "because I'm eeeeevil" villain.

      Ba'al from Stargate SG-1. Again, smart, careful, and he actually got to like Earth later on.

      Any time the Necrons turn up in the Ciaphas Cain novels, because you can really grok that Cain is scared ****less of them.

      Ba'al and O'Neilll were funny together

      The Necron were scary to begin with, nothing is more scarier than a constant moving wall of death attacking in complete silence as they kill you, the Tyranids come in at a close second

        Ah, good, another Minion of Ba'al (tm)! Did I ever offer you a private planet? I have a metric buttload of nepotism still on my monthly quota, so if you haven't gotten a cushy position yet I can offer you a planet, a pleasure palace, an meal appointment with your favorite author for advice whenever you like, and 5,000 minions, servants, and concubines for your personal use.

        Hail Ba'al!

        This message was brought to you by Grand Vizier Worffan101, chief lieutenant to Supreme System Lord Ba'al, may he and his clones live forever.

        *gives gift of 5000 Symbiotes to Ba'al*

        anyways.... The Symbiotes in Marvel comics are pretty interesting... except Carnage who just needs to die.... permanently.

          Scorpius from farscape.

          A brilliant and single minded character that had a lot of depth and reason for his actions, that was cruel, calculating and evil and yet often charming and because of the chip in Crichton's brain also allowed him to play a second and sometimes third type of character.

          Good choice, BTW. The Master of Magnetism is one of my favorites, and holycrap Sir Ian McKellen's performance is just perfect...

          His Divine Shadow from the LEXX series :cool:

          On second thought even His Divine Shadow can't really hold a candle to Mantrid. Mantrid was the Divine Shadow's former Grand Biovizier. He transferred his intellect to a machine body that was capable of self-replication as well as space flight (a kind of robot arm with a brain in a bubble on top). It eventually consumed the planet creating copies of itself. These then spread thru out the Galaxy devouring everything in their path and eventually consumed the entire Universe... forcing the occupants of the Lexx to flee to an alternate Universe.

          Hard to beat that for evil heheheheh...
          *STO* It’s mission: To destroy strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... and then kill them, to boldly annihilate what no one has annihilated before!

          -Sigma (Mexaman X series) - Dude just doesn't know how to stay DEAD! Alot like the Goa'uld.
          -Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (Sonic series) - Depending on the incarnation, Eggman is actually a dangerous enemy. The Sonic 2k6 version was pretty evil. AoSH Eggman was a joke, getting owned left and right and was just comedy.
          -Diablo (Diablo series) - Evil incarnate. What else is there to say?
          -Arcturus Mengsk (StarCraft series) - Manipulative guy.
          -Karl Bishop Wayland (Aliens vs Predator) - Thinks he owns the Colonial Marines and wants to not only turn the Xenomorphs into bioweapons, he wants Pred tech and is NOT afraid to deploy illegal Combat Sinthetics.

          I would say Leto Atreides II. Although in the long-term he would be considered the saviour of humanity, during his 3,500 year reign the God Emperor was the worst tyrant that the universe had seen.
