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?
Tied between Handsome Jack and Javert. Both misunderstood in their own ways.
Premier Cherdenko. That studio knew what they needed, and got exactly the right man for the job.
The Nameless One. From PS:T.
A very practical person!
probably Junko Enoshima because she's so unmatchedly fucking bonkers batshit kookoo bananas unhinged insane but keeps it together just well enough to cause an apocalypse by shitposting really hard
Wakfu Spoilers Ahead! Click At Your Own Risk!
I really like the season 4 villain Toross Mordal, probably more than most any other villain in media in general. Mostly for how badass he is despite how decrepit he looks. Also for how he rules over his people with basically an eternal regret that he can never fully feed them due to their infinite hunger.
I known the trope of the villain having power that is basically the opposite type as the heroes is probably overdone, but I really like how he has mastered stasis, the opposite force to the life force of wakfu. It makes for an interesting enough villain since this is a villain that actually cannot die, unlike every other villain we've seen up until season 4. He's had the time to master his skills since he never has death to worry about.
I also like how he kinda ends up making the main character Yugo temporarily skirt the idea of using stasis alongside with his wakfu in a final showdown. It makes me hope we get some more cool stasis stuff in season 5, but more of an exploratory "this is why you don't use stasis" kinda way. We'd have Toross to thank and blame for Yugo having to learn the consequences of Stasis and I would love to see that.
Sir Captain Becket of the E I C
Dart Maul (from a german movie called (T)Raumschiff Suprise)
Bill Cypher
The villains of the Kings Men
Naraku, hes basically a troll that is also malevolent, oddly although he despises humans most of his goals dont harm them directly through out the series until the very end when hes get desperate, as he never targets humans directly unlike most other demons, or his own incarnation which he ends up killing to prevent them from interfering. or if you want to dig a little deeper, the shikon jewel is an amoral villian, sacrifices any user who made wishes to keep itself alive. hes a complex characther, he has much more contempt for demons than humans, eventhough he hates humans, but has not alright vindictiveness like he has against inuyash and his gang going on unless they gets in his way.
Good choice
Might be more of a monster than a villain, but I've loved the Disney version of the headless horseman since I was a kid. That laugh still gives me chills
Hannibal Lecter. Hard to miss with one of the greatest of all time.
