The Villian from the movie "Saw"
because he wasn't caught. And he has some disease. and he's old.

Yes, but Rui Dr. Doom was not evil at all.

All he did was trying to free his mother from eternal hell (?)
and his face was burnt from trying to do that, thus the mask.
He is just a tormented soul nothing more.
and of course I've seen him work alongside with ironman and of course when taken the place of the Beyonder he was not evil at all.

I don't know, fascinating of course but not evil. Well but... super villan maybe...

Dr. Doom knows when to fight alongside the heros when he has to because he's not dumb...

About the rescuing his mom from hell, Reed Richards gave him advice on it, saying otherwise it wouldn't work. Doom ignored Richard's advice, thus the machine blew up as Reed predicted. The explosion gave him a long scar on his "perfect" face, yet doom blamed it on richards and put on a "piping hot mask of evil" to cover his "Horribly Scarred Visage". The mask scarred his face WAY more than the machine did. Plus, he's an oppressive tyrant over a third world nation who's entire purpose in life it to kill the fantastic four. Just because he's a tortured soul doesn't mean he's not evil. Most of his torturing he had brought upon himself, simply because his swelled ego got in the way of his judgement. I don't really read the regular FF comic books, but i know that in Ultimate Fantastic Four he did evil things out of pure spite and self conceit.

Saying Dr. Doom's not evil is like saying a man who was abused as a child--who killed 15 people before subdued--doesn't deserve to be put in jail or killed, because he was warped by his abusive father. Horrible as abuse may be, there are many people who survived child abuse and grew up to be fully functional members of society and generally decent human beings.

General Grevious.

He's a robot, he's a coward, he wears a cape, and he coughs all the time. Come on, he's hilarious.

The best villain evar is Molecule Man. He could manipulate everything whenever he wanted. The only thing keeping him from destroying the world was his therapist. (He later joined Dr Doom and those evil fellows..)

I guess that a lot of people here read Marvel comics. Whatever happened to DC or Dark horse?

This, for example:

My answer to the initial question, of course, is Superman, trite as this may sound to some by now.

You know, I think I like the phrase "streaks towards the moon" most out of those panels. Space-nudity is always the answer!

Definitely the timeless Professor Moriarty - the only man who could bring Sherlock Holmes to his death.

Anyone who can outsmart that dude has got to be good.

esper · Sat 24/09/2005 14:53:06

But Sherlock Holmes didn't die

(neither did Moriarty, if you accept The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as canon)

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sat 24/09/2005 21:13:01

I rethought. Dr. Doom is NOT my favourite villain.

Go Venom!

I don't know, but it's just what we do... All the comics I read are the ones my older brother buys, so whatever he gets I read

Edit: In FF # 500, entitled "The Unthinkable" Doom made a deal with the demons of hell forsaking science for the rest of his life and sacraficed his only love Valeria to these demons and wore her skin as "leather" armor to increase his dark magic abilities. He became stronger than Dr. Strange and banished the FF to hell. Evil? Nah.

Winnowill!!

(How's that for obscure comic-book villains?)

HoN

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Sun 25/09/2005 03:59:53

Obscure is fine... but... none of us know who the hell Winowill is, so it doesn't really contribute to our discussion here. could you explain a little?
