So, there's been some talk about Villians and their importance recently.

So, who is your favorite villian, not just in RE, but in general, how about a top 5 sort of thing? I'll start.

1. Wesker(pre-UC)
2. Spencer
3. John Travolta in Broken Arrow.
4. Palpatine
5. The Elder God.....

Yeah, I might fix this up a little later....but those are some good ones.

Actually, how about we just all name some really cool villains from anything.

Anti heroes like Kain from LoK don't count, I mean antagonists.

sin from FFX??

Hmm, I have a roster of favorite villains. Not in any particular order:

The Riddler
Joker
Wesker
Ganondorf
Bane
Krauser
General Shepard
General Ramm
V from V for Vendetta, Catwoman, and Red Hood are more anti-heroes but they still do bad stuff...
Hush
Two-Face

Pretty sure I have more...

Weskers is of course uno numero one.

1) Albert Wesker
2) The Joker
3) Bowser
4) Nazis
5) T-Bag(prison break)

Great Mercy, that's what I was looking for.

Hmmm, not familiar with that Hush name on your list.

I'd like to add a few others to my own.

Revolver Ocelot
Psycho Mantis
Moebius
Vamp
Sergei Vladimir
Ricardo Irving
William Birkin
James Marcus
John Travolta in Swordfish

T-Bag...that's an interesting name.

I also really like Grey Fox from MGS1....Frank Jaeger, though he's more of an anti-hero. But yeah, I bring him up because of his suggestive name that he uses at one point, "Deepthroat", like the informant from the Watergate Scandal.

We should at least try to arrange a top 5 for ourselves. Otherwise we will just get post upon post filled with random villains that we all at least kind of like. Maybe we can all do a top 5 and then list any runnerups?

1. The Joker
2. Albert Wesker
3. Voldemort
4. Gollum
5. Hannibal Lecter

A few runners up: Darth Starkiller, Darth Vader (really, he should be at least a runner up for everyone), Ricardo Irving.

This is kind of off the top of my head, so I may change this later.

Here are mine:

1. The Joker
2. Albert Wesker (pre-Resi 5)
3. Hannibal Lector
4. Bane
5. Hans Landa

Honourable mentions to Revolver Ocelot, Kefka, Psycho Mantis, Darth Vader and The Master (John Simm's incarnation).

Irving could have made a great RE villian if he wasnt killed so early. His final form was over kill and horrible like most monsters in re5.

FullMetal and I seem to be on, or at least near, the same page. lol I agree with Barber too.

Villain or villian? Ha. Look at the topic's title.

It could be the power source. Not sure. You can message me the problem and I can try to help.
