* Albedo from ''{{VideoGame/Xenosaga}}'' is so [[AxCrazy insane]] and [[LargeHam over the top]] in both his words and mannerisms that he can get quite [[NightmareFuel scary.]] The fact that he can regenerate his limbs, that smooth voice of his [[note]] Provided by Creator/CrispinFreeman in the English dub.[[/note]], his E.S named Simeon, and the fact that he has a [[FreudianExcuse surprisingly]] [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] backstory, all come together to create a very memorable, terrifying, and compelling villain!

* Albedo! From the video game ''Xenosaga'', this guy is insane... ''FREAKING'' insane!!! The fact that he can regenerate his limbs, that ''slithery'' voice of his [[note]] Provided by Creator/CrispinFreeman.[[/note]], his cool E.S named Simeon... Everything about this guy is just COOL!!!

** Her [[TheDragon dragon]], Seb, was also a lot of fun. Even though he only appeared for three episodes, he was [[AffablyEvil funny and charming]] in his own way. He had plenty of funny moments, including his death, and I enjoyed how [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] he was.

** Seconded! I mean, in what show can you find a yellow triangle that [[VoiceOfTheLegion usually]] has an upbeat voice that wears a top hat and bow tie while having spindly arms and legs, and make said triangle a genuinely [[KnightOfCerebus menacing]] and [[NightmareFuel terrifying]] ''threat?!'' I mean ''[[https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.WfVG_OgsAFvW69OB9gDUowHaHa&pid=Api look]]'' at this guy! Most people would ''never'' suspect just by seeing him that he's the OverarchingVillain with vast amounts of [[AgonyBeam physical]] and [[MindRape mental]] powers, a [[DealWithTheDevil master]] [[ManipulativeBastard manipulator,]] has no qualms about [[WouldHurtAChild possessing, hurting, and potentially killing]] ''[[WouldHurtAChild children,]]'' and have such a ''blast'' doing it?! He's just so [[LaughablyEvil delightfully over-the-top]] and [[{{Troll}} enjoys messing around with people]] in general that one almost can't help but laugh, even as he gleefully crosses the MoralEventHorizon! Seriously, he has some of the [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments best one-liners and comedic moments]] from the entire series! So yeah, kudos to Creator/AlexHirsch and the rest of the team that put ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' together for creating such a compelling and hilarious, yet incredibly dangerous threat!

* Bedlam from ''WesternAnimation/GetEd''. He acts so gentleman-ly, but can kick our heroes' asses and is very savvy!

* [[VideoGames/DeadlyRoomsOfDeath 39th Slayer]]. He hunts you down relentlessly through the ''entire game'' (of [=JtRH=], the second game in the [[VideoGames/DeadlyRoomsOfDeath DROD]] franchise). He's indestructible (and even when the designers slipped and left in a way to kill him, he's right back in the next room!) His weapon of choice is a ''hook'', and he's so deadly with it that even Beethro, OneManArmy smitemaster, runs rather than fight him. And that voice... for anyone who's ever played [=JtRH=], it becomes the voice that haunts their nightmares... ''"Keep running, delver!"''

** [[spoiler:Prince Hans]] from ''{{WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''. [[spoiler:His plan was diabolical, his actions were frightening, but the best part was that he not just fooled Anna, but ''all of us'' into thinking he was nice and charming. He puts on such a good charade and appeared so caring and sympathetic to the others that it comes off as a total shock to us the moment he outs himself, even upon repeat viewings. ''That'' was good villainy.]]

* The Boogeyman and Jack o-Lantern from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. The first was [[HarmlessVillain hilarious]] yet totally [[LoveToHate despicable]] and the second was one of the funniest yet frightening characters with a personality that makes his episode one of the most exiting to watch.

** Chernabog from the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence of ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', for this troper at least, is the perfect personification of evil in the animated medium. He never utters a single line, yet has instilled fear into many tropers and is considered one of Disney's greatest villains. Torturing his own minions for his amusement, summoning the spirits of the dead to dance for him, and being driven back only by the ringing of holy bells and the approaching dawn (And even then, only temporarily), Chernabog was evil itself in its most frightening form.

** Although most people gush over [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], in this troper's opinion, the Evil Queen from ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarves'', is and always will be ''the'' best Disney Villain of all time. She always manages to terrify the audience, whether in her dark, [[ColdHam Coldly Hammy]] form as the Queen, or in her AxCrazy, LaughingMad form as the Witch. She pretty much set the standards for every Disney villain (including Maleficent), and possibly villains in general, to follow. Her movie was released all the way back in 1937 and she ''still'' leaves a huge impact on anyone who watches the movie. That, my friends, is evil done right.

** He may be far sillier than most of the other characters, but Cajun Fox still manages to be awesome. Not only is he completely hilarious, he too is scary in subtle ways. He also has an awesome voice, courtesy of [[CreatorCameo John Dilworth himself]]. He also has one heck of an EarWorm for a {{Leitmotif}} and some pretty CoolShades.

*** So we've got fairy tale villains like [[Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarves The Evil Queen]], Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}, [[Literature/PeterPan Captain Hook]], and [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland the Queen of Hearts.]] Who is the worst of the worst? The ultimate in despicable yet awe-inspiring evilness? ''Peter Pan''.

* It's a shame that ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' [[BoxOfficeBomb didn't do so well in the box office]], because Dave is easily one of Dreamworks' best villains. He's just so funny and [[EvilIsHammy hammy]], it's impossible not to like him. Despite his insanity, he manages to be an extremely clever villain who spectacularly subverts PaperThinDisguise. It certainly helps his case that he has an ''[[TearJerker extremely]]'' tragic backstory. And besides, [[EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods octopuses are just plain awesome!]]

* In a similar vein to above, Kira Yoshikage from ''Anime/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable''. He is cool and collected, but incredibly twisted in the brilliantly written way that Horihiko Araki writes his villains. He manages to turn down the stakes of the series while keeping the back half of the show tense, fun, and enjoyable. And while he isn't nearly as hammy as DIO, he has plenty of both SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} and SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. Not mentioning the amazing final fight against him, [[spoiler: beginning with him on top of the world and ending in him getting done the dirtiest of all of the main Jojo villains, even more so than Kars.]] You'll never look at the Mona Lisa the same way again.

* I've got two words right here; [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Master Xehanort]]. Good ''Lord'', Master Xehanort! He's been everything from (Presumably) TheAce to (Definitely) a BadassGrandpa. His actions have shaped the entire fate of the World(Read; universe) for over the last ten years, permenately reshaping it. His existence has split into [[TheHeartless several]] [[BetaTestBaddie others]], each one just as threatening and formidable as the last. The greatest bit of it all? Every event, every action taken by himself or his Heartless and/or Nobody is interconnected. It's all one giant plot, and it's ''working''. Xehanort and [[{{WesternAnimation/Gargoyles}} Xanatos]] should be tied for [[XanatosGambit the Tropes]] [[XanatosSpeedChess they live.]]

* ComicBook/LexLuthor not only puts up with someone biologically superior to his race in every way, but has in many cases guided the rest of villains, has an awesome suit ([[SharplyDressedMan business]] and PowerArmor), and an unbreakable will. He's probably one of the most powerful earth level villains there is.

* Lex Luthor not only puts up with someone biologically superior to his race in every way, but has in many cases guided the rest of villains, has an awesome suit, and an unbreakable will. He's probably one of the most powerful earth level villains there is.
* Darkseid is another great one. A God hellbent on destroying all free will, with Omega Beams and pretty much all Kryptonian powers. He's also got a planet of people who fear and worship him.

* Both villains from ''{{WesternAnimation/Wakfu}}''.

* I've got two words right here; [[KingdomHearts Master Xehanort]]. Good ''Lord'', Master Xehanort! He's been everything from (Presumably) TheAce to (Definitely) a BadassGrandpa.

Not mentioning the amazing final fight against him, [[spoiler: beginning with him on top of the world and ending in him getting done the dirtiest of all of the main Jojo villains, even more so than Kars.]] You'll never look at the Mona Lisa the same way again.

* The [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 Shredder]]!!! A classic example of LoveMakesYouEvil. And he ''utterly dominates'' our heroes in the final fight. His on-screen presence is very threatening, helped very much by his theme song - [[AwesomeMusic Shredder's Suite]].

** Drawcia is easily the best thing about ''VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse''. A [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot living painting of a ghost witch]] with [[BadassCape a cloak that looks like a pair of bat wings]], a terrifyingly psychotic EvilLaugh, an [[AwesomeMusic epic]] [[OminousPipeOrgan battle theme]], and we're just scratching the surface. Drawcia rules!
