This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Logo design credit goes to: tubbadu
For me, it would be GLaDOS.
Portal 2 spoiler
She deleted the one remaining human part of herself because it was just too much to deal with. She releases you at the end of Portal 2 as a path of least resistance measure because "killing you is hard."
What about you, what is your favorite media villain?
Sneaky, invasive advertising.
Frank Horrigan, that's who. U.S. Secret Service.
Look the number of times I've heard his voice lines has resulted in them being burned into my mind.
Michael Dorn did a bang up job voicing super mutants. Really glad they brought him back for Fallout: New Vegas. Too bad Marcus wasn't playable in NV.
Hex and Daemon from Reboot are both underrated. Hex has genius visual design for the limitations of the technology. And for a kids show, Daemon is very likable, which always makes a villain more compelling.
hard not to love DIO. He's evil and he loves it
Long John Silver from Treasure Island. The OG and best anti-hero and heel turn of any character.
Miss Havisham from Great Expectations . An textbook example of how to do capricious rot.
Baby Jane played by Bette Davis from 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?'. God I love Bette Davis.
Traitor General from the comic Rogue Trooper. Traitor General has been a wonderful bastard over the years.
Arthur 'Cody' Jarrett played by James Cagney from 'White Heat'.
Clarence Bodicker played by Kurtwood Smith from 'Robocop'. "Can you fly, Bobby?" 'Nuff said.
Daimyo Matsudaira Naritsugu played by Goro Inagaki in Takashi Miike's '13 Assassins'. Perfect psychotic aristo upheld by corrupt flunkeys who has no real conception of the effects of his actions.
Prince Nuada played by one of the Bros twins from 'Hellboy II'. So sympathetic. Team Prince Nuada all the way.
Syd played by Peter Mullan from 'Children of Men'. Syd refers to himself in the third person (An actual sign of psychopathy) and does not care about anyone else, not even the first pregnant woman in a decade..
Begbie played by Robert Carlyle from 'Trainspotting'. "Nae cunt leaves here til we find oot what cunt glassed yon lassie." Never mind that he threw the glass.
The Borg. I was terrified of them as a little kid.
Warhammer 40k has too many good options to list. The entire ork faction is great, although one of my personal favorites is Grizgutz, an ork who accidentally travelled back in time, and decided to kill himself to steal an extra copy of his favorite gun. The Necrons are also fun, for their unlimited capacity for arrogance and pettiness.
Shepard Lambert in Would You Rather?, played by Jeffrey Combs.
Picking a Jeffrey Combs role is cheating though.
Okay, fine. Monster (2004)'s Johan Liebert.
Desty Nova from alita (Not the generic villain Norton played in the movie, the one from the comic).
What's so great about him is that he doesn't have any interest to rule or destroy, but he loves to set the stage for interesting happenings and watch them unravel. But he loves flan more.
the swarm from stanisław lems "invincible" (not the invincible show, this is a completly unrelated sci fi novel) (also the swarm is not really a villian its more like defending its territory
