Yes, Palpatine, I concur. From creating the excruciatingly painful Darth Vader suit to giving him presents that trigger memories of his past and make him feel like a threat, everything about him is terrifying. Imagine being tortured by your master after being devoted to him for such a long time.
Palpatine is one of the most sadistic Star Wars character he purposely had every piece of Vader suit that was keeping him alive, defective and outdated to cause pain to make him stronger the dark side, but mainly to keep him weak and subservient so he always remained no top
Homelander is actually worse in The Boys TV Series than he is in the comic Because at least in the comic, he wasn’t responsible for EVERYTHING he was accused of doing In the show however, he’s definitely responsible for a majority of conflicts
@@chipsneak1348 I may be athiest-agnostic myself, even I wouldn't do that. I don't agree with most religions, I find most religious people hypocritical, and not a way to live but is still insensitive given that it has helped troubled people cope in some tough situations and not all religious people try to convert non-belivers. Also, it is still not an excuse and what he did was not at all fair. Even if it was just a mockery, it was still insensetive.
@@roguejester4986I’m purely talking about the belief. If someone believes the Earth is flat, or that our Furious 7 is the greatest movie ever made, they’re embarrassing beliefs. I’m certainly not condoning the actions, although it does seem like the sort of thing a biblical character would do 😂
Don't forget Megatron. He's a Most Evil Character as well since he plans on draining Earth of its resources to travel back to Cybertron and rule the Universe. And Unicron since he's the Ultimate Evil Being of Transformers
I dunno. Harbinger, the leader of the reapers, kinda makes him look insignificant. Plus, the reapers can essentially enslave anyone via indoctrination with ease. They invaded the entire galaxy in ME3 causing mass destruction. Megatron doesn't even come close to that.
And according to many continuities he and the Decepticons have got a long history of causing so much destruction on earth and in space this is what the narrator said in S3 of G1 when a specific episode ends.
The Emperor is definitely the symbol of evil. Being a master manipulator, destruction of many planets, turning Anakin to Darth Vader, making everyone believe the Jedi are evil and wiping out the Skywalker bloodline.
Palpatine did whatever it takes to take Power and defeat the Jedi/Republic. Same can be said for anyone in any Government. Vader enforced the Laws of the current Regime. Leaving Tarkin the only "Evil" character.
@@nevermindmyname9153 true. Also Tarkin played a part for turning Anakin in tor Darth Vader. Tarkin was convinced Ahsoka was guilty of killing Turmond and responsible for the Jedi bombing, refused to believe her, did not let Anakin see her when she was imprisoned, forced the Jedi Counsel to expel her from the Jedi Order, and was willing to punish her with the death penalty in her trial. Because of his actions in Season 5 Ahsoka left the Jedi order, Anakin lost his apprentice making him more vulnerable, his prejudice against the Jedi made him want her to be guilty. Tarkin is a soldier and like any soldier he will do what ever it takes to win a war including killing innocent people. The Emperor wanted immortality, and unlimited power. He was pretending to be an honorable man, but in reality he was the ultimate mastermind behind the war of the Galaxy.
honorable mentions - kira (deathnote) - art (terrifire) - Danzo (Naruto) - Bill chipper (grafity fall) - Kira yoshikage (jojo part 4) - Dr. Howard (Tusk) - Martin (Human centipede 2)
Funny you will mention Kira Yoshikage from Jojo but forget about the ultimate bad guy whose influence can be felt throughout the series and different generations of Jojo, even when he is dead or incapacitated. There's no one more evil than Dio Brando/DIO in Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. Compared to the diabolical, egotistical and tyrannical megalomaniac that is Dio, Kira is just an impulsive serial killer that somehow got his hands on a supernatural power that made him a very effective serial killer, killing his victims and effectively removing all evidence against him. Kira is like a baby if you compare his atrocities to Dio. Kira kills people out of a form of impulse or urge, a common trait that all serial killers have, whereas Dio kills just because he can and he views people as nothing more than food. Kira had committed no atrocities other than killing for pleasure, whereas Dio turned countless people into zombies, burned a dog alive in the furnace, schemed and killed his benefactor and adoptive father George Joestar, bullied and traumatised Jonathan Joestar throughout childhood, fed a mother her own baby and made a person drive through the pavement while killing the pedestrians. He even ultimately succeeded in his plan to reset the world and killing his nemesis Jonathan Joestar's bloodline for good, although indirectly done through his friend Enrico Pucci, but he ultimately got the last laugh.
Sauron is so evil that when he puts all of his evil into one tiny object it causes everyone to commit atrocities, completely become obsessed with that one object and just completely lose all of their goodness. He is evil in living form
@@acrodave9287 It was a cunning strategy, in fact. Investing some of his energy into the ring gave Sauron the ability to control the Nazgul, prevented the Elves from using their rings freely against him, and caused the downfall of Dwarves by bringing them into conflict with dragons. Thus he almost completely neutralized his three most dangerous enemies. The ring also prevented Sauron from being fully defeated in the War of the Last Alliance. Instead, its existence allowed his spirit to return to wreak vengeance in the Third Age. The curse of the ring also ensured that no-one would intentionally destroy it, effectively giving Sauron an endless number of do-overs.
@@BrianWelch-vc7xy I know why he did it, which is why the Hobbits were the only people it couldn't fully control; he'd had no experience of them and didn't know their psychology as they hadn't yet migrated from the East when he was cast down in the War of the Last Alliance. If the One Ring had subsequently even been touched by Man, Elf, Dwarf or Orc, Sauron would've known immediately and been able to bend the finder to his will, but Smeagol, a Hobbit, found it and it passed from Hobbit to Hobbit thereafter. Every time the Ring was worn or touched, it was by a Hobbit, so Sauron was confused as he didn't know what he was dealing with and couldn't fully focus his power on them. This only served to help the Free Peoples in the end as Saurons desperation to retrieve the Ring from an unknown and unfamiliar bearer turned almost to panic and arguably caused him to make rash decisions. Poor Sauron; having to deal with Hobbit psychology must have felt like trying to punch a brick wall through treacle, a real come down for one so almost Divinely powerful to be completely blindsided by a handful of midgets he'd never even heard of or noticed! 'The best laid plans of mice and men' indeed. As for my original post, which I had quite forgotten about, sometimes an offhand joke is just an offhand joke.
@@AlbertWeskerVRsame can be said for morgoth as he is the first dark lord of the lord of the rings franchise (Sauron was his servant) and was the literal source of all evil in his universe
@@jakealter5504 - Morgorth would be above Holden though, they're both Devil's in their universes but Morgorth scales higher because of how far his lore goes.
@@MrPuzzles I know that. That's why I asked @bradleyhauertheedtruncanfa5020 what redeeming qualities he was talking about. Thank you for responding, but I would like to know @bradley's thoughts on the matter.
Alan Rickman - whether he's the Sheriff of Nottingham, Hans Gruber or Severus Snape, the man chewed the scenery like few others with his presence and voice. Always fun to watch.
@@AlmostEthical oh his acting is nothing short of brilliant, for sure, I just disagree with Snape being a villain, even if it's not fully apparent until the conclusion
Darth Sidious caused misery and suffering on a galactic scale, and all just to acquire power and control. He orchestrated a colossal scale war just to become Emperor and to kill all the Jedi. Nearly every death that happens throughout the Skywalker Saga can be traced back to him. That's what makes him the most evil villain ever
Worth mentioning that people are afraid of Voldemort's name because he's cursed it in a way that allows him to know when someone speaks it. It kinda makes him the image of a dictator, he literally has the power to instantly know when his name is invoked in dissent, and as a result, the power to place a permanent chilling effect on dissent.
Even if he didn’t actually curse his name, just the rumor that he did would be enough to scare people from dissenting. It’s like how Marcus Corvinus told Viktor that, should he or his brother William be killed, all vampires or lycans would follow them to the grave. A clever deception, but one Viktor was not willing to test.
That was just in the final book though when he was trying to find Harry outside of school (and remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix). He placed a Taboo on his name to locate them. People were afraid of his name because he’s a terrifying sadistic sociopath who hurted countless families, not because of a curse.
Homelander may not be the most evil, but he is without a doubt the scariest character I've ever seen onscreen. The uneasiness from knowing he could snap at any point and kill everyone is astounding. The actor is a genius.
Another honourable mention I’d like to add possibly the most famous vampire ever count Dracula. I’m surprised he didn’t make this list, considering how iconic he is being the most famous vampire ever, and possibly one of the most famous villains ever
Is he truly evil though? I'm not a Dracula lore scholar, but I imagine his victims are mostly a result of him feeding, so he'd be no more evil than a lion or crocodile eating a person.
Pinhead, chief cenobite the Hellraiser series, Frank Booth from Blue Velvet, John Ryder from The Hitcher, Alex DeLarge frrom A Clockwork Orange, Jack Torrance from The Shining, Vladimir Harkonnen from Dune.
I remember one particular scene from Hellraiser 2 or 3, where lemarchand's box were solved by some mentally ill guy. Cenobite usually kill the one who solved it, yet in this case Pinhead said something like "the boy solved it, but it was not his intention or will". And they spared him. True evil will not do such thing.
Some that should be on the list/honorable mentions - Vladimir Makarov (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy) - Commodus (Gladiator) - James Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes) - Calvin Candy (Django Unchained) - President Snow (The Hunger Games) - Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat) - John Doe (Se7en) - Wilson Fisk (Daredevil) - pretty much any Gary Oldman villain from the 90s - Owen Davian (Mission Impossible 3) - Solomon Lane (Mission Impossible Rogue Nation and Fallout) - Kruger (Elysium) - William Stryker (X-Men) - Epps (12 Years a Slave) - Amon Goeth (Schindler’s List) (idk if that one counts because he was technically real but I’m leaving him on here anyway)

Five Nights at Freddy's own Purple Guy, aka William Afton. He always comes back, in one form or another. And you can never truly be rid of him or his legacy of evil.
I feel like Palpatine is THE best villain ever! Most villans explain their entire plan, then lose. With Palpatine, we watch his plan unfold before our own eyes and piecing to together ourselves. And two, with this one line, "The Republic will be reorganized into the FIRST! GALACTIC! EMPIRE! FOR A SAFE, AND SECURE! SOCIETY!" he takes control of an entire galaxy. Lord Voldemort couldn't even take over a school. Three, he takes the most gifted Jedi, the chosen one himself, Anakin Skywalker and twists him into his own personal pawn by grooming him and turning him against the Jedi. And four: "Execute Order 66." The Jedi who scoffed at the Sith's return are wiped out in a matter of minutes by their own army (who were bred and implanted with inhibitor chips for that sole purpose). That's all I need to say.
Palpatine is a great villain and I think he’s the most evil. But I wouldn’t say he’s the best. I think Darth Vader is a little bit better because he just has an interesting backstory and he’s just a great character in general and he deserves to be the most iconic tbh you don’t have to agree with me. That’s just my opinion.
David Tennant's Purple Man is legitimately the most frightening villain I've seen. That man can act, and the horrifying chemistry with Jessica Jones's actor is just so well done.
As a long time Doctor Who fan, that was real cognitive dissonance for me (I've never seen the movie, so seeing him in that short snippet was a bit of a shock). But yeah, what little I saw, he nailed it.
WatchMojo: "He is covetous, he is selfish-" Me: "He's a lackey for Prince John." I'm also willing to defend the Borg as having a blue/orange morality as opposed to being genuinely evil. I suspect the reason they intend to assimilate all life in the universe is because they feel being able to communicate with the entire collective at cybernetic speed is so preferable to all of their previous existences that the option of doing it by force now just makes so much more logical sense to them than spending an extended period of time trying to convince them orally to join the collective (especially when digital communication can make a second of real time feel like a year by comparison).
Jigsaw’s victims who survive his games need as big a hug as possible. I’m not one to offer or accept them, but I’m willing to make an exception in that case.
Annie Wersching, no stranger to evil characters (see two Nathan Fillion TV series), portrayed the Borg Queen in Star Trek: Picard in one of her final roles.
One I would’ve added is Albert Wesker from Resident Evil. He had a god complex, superhuman strength, he was not above betraying anyone when it suited him, and just downright menacing. Epitome of badass villain
And just above Darkseid at that. I’ll never understand the ranking choices for watchmojo vids. They also put the nurse from Cuckoo’s Nest above… Freddy fukn Krueger
Michael has always been my favorite. I hate that they tried to give him a back story though. You know, tried to give us a “reason” for his insanity smh. He’s scary because there was no reason for his insatiable need to kill.
One villain who DEFINITELY should've been on this list, is Randall Flagg (aka "the man in black", aka "he who walks behind the rose")... The list is pretty much invalid without him!
Honorable mentions: Vecna (Stranger Things) Shir Khan (Jungle Book) Ursula (The Little Mermaid) Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) Alpha (The Walking Dead) Irene Engel (Wolfenstein 2)
Watchmojo for real put Nurse Ratched and multiple others above Ganon and Pennywise, literal embodiments of pure evil? I hate her about as much as the next guy, but she’s basically just a very morally questionable person, not literal evil
She's just and average ableist, nothing more. Watchmojo have used the same set of characters for their lists like 100 times now it's insane how unoriginal they are.
The fact that she’s a normal person makes her come off as even more vile, as she has no excuses for her actions, doing evil simply because she chose to.
@@samrich4life yes lmao he can very likely do a way better list. Please explain to me why Carnage is below so many characters that are not more evil than him?
@@samrich4life So, instead of addressing his argument, your response is directed against his person, a logical fallacy, and you laughably pose the rhetorical question "so u can do better" (sic) when the best you can do is resort to the kind of reasoning usually seen on the playground.
You forgot 1. Vladimir makarov from call of duty modern warfare 2. Raul Menendez from Call of duty black ops 2 3.thanos from marvel 4.megatron from Transformers 5.negan from the walking dead 6. Grand admiral thrawn from Star Wars rebels 7. Micah Bell from red dead redemption 2 8. Albert wesker from resident evil
Eh, if you red the CANNON and now legends book, thrown was not evil. He sided with palpatine and the empire because the empire was better suited to ally with/defend his people the Chiss from the far outsiders (Cannon) or if you prefer the legends name the Yuuzhan Vong, same reason he tried to topple the new Republic. The man was NOT evil, he ultimately chose to side with the best option to defend and protect his ENTIRE race
I’d put the governor or a different walking dead villain over Negan. He proved later in the series that he wasn’t evil, just twisted at times and broken
@@YaBoiKyogre in star wars rebels he is always a step ahead he murdered Thousands and let's not forget he Literally attacked ezra's home planet so don't tell me he's not that evil when you have not watched star wars rebels
"Tolkien stated in his Letters that although he did not think "Absolute Evil" could exist as it would be "Zero", "in my story Sauron represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible." He explained that, like "all tyrants", Sauron had started out with good intentions but was corrupted by power, and that he "went further than human tyrants in pride and the lust for domination", being in origin an immortal (angelic) spirit" quote end. That should tell you everyting. Sauron is above any human tyrant. The Grandmaster of all fantasy explicitly designed him to be like that. Because of that Sauron should be #1
Patrick Stewart's vast training and experience show so damn well when he turns his charismatic and authoritative words against the team. Still gives me goosebumps
Where the fuck was Frieza? Frieza is vile, bloodthirsty and nihilistic. I mean look at some of the acts he’s committed. He has committed genocide to multiple alien civilizations, destroyed countless planets, has murdered even children, manipulated Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz into believing a lie about the fate of their planet just so that they could serve as his pawns, is the reason for Goku being sent to Earth and his most well known act: killing Goku’s best friend Krillin right in front of him. Not including the Emperor of the Universe on this list is an absolute crime.
@@treclarke6102 Excuse me. The guy who committed genocide to billions of alien civilizations and enslaved just as many, and sold those planets he didn’t destroy for fucking profit. If anything it’s Griffith that doesn’t have shit on Frieza.
Agreed On Shao Kahn. But Vecna Is Sympathetic, Frieza Doesn’t Quite Do Enough Bad, Jason Is Tragic, Cartman And Walter Both Have Numerous Good Moments And Redeeming Qualities, And I’m Pretty Sure Leatherface Has Some Preventing Factors Too.
Honorable Mentions Johan Liebert - Monster Griffith - Berserk Alex Debarge - A Clockwork Orange Ramsey Bolton - Game of Thrones Dracula - Dracula Patrick Bateman - American Psycho
For Sauron: "For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so." He was one of the maiar (a lesser god if you wil), of the same race as gandalf. For Voldemort: It is not that they fear the name because of all the things he did in the last war. The name was enchanted to be taboo, speaking it, would tell your location. And since only his opponents used his name, as his followers called him "dark lord". Anyone using his name got murdered. So speaking his name was suicide.
I am not sure under what means the folks at WatchMojo came up with the villians on this list, however WatchMojo should have allowed this list to be at least 35 to include the following folks of evil: Ursula, Leatherface, Jason Voorsese, Ramsey Bolton and Chucky. For at least Chucky really should be on this list for sure....
No Nyralathotep? He is one of the most evil characters in all of fiction and what about AM from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, that AI is sadism and cruelty incarnate.
Pennywise, Magnetto, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Leatherface, Micheal Meyers, The Jigsaw Killer, Jason, The Omen, Anthony Bates, Angela Baker, Dracula, Wolfman, The Thing From The Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, Phantom Of The Opera, The Invisable Man, Bride Of Frankenstein, Chucko, Bride of Chucky, Cujo, The Mummy Jaws, Leprechaun, Poltergiest,
Technically Magneto is just a antihero. He has justifiable motivations to hate humanity he was persecuted as a jew and later as a mutant. His life is very tragic he even helped the Xmen during certain times. I think Magneto is the greatest “villian” ever. I would also argue that Wolfman, Frankenstein, & Bride Of Frankenstein arent evil just misunderstood.
33:28 Error on the film being displayed. It says Episode VI: The Empire Strikes Back. Yeah, it should be Episode V. You mixed it up with Return of the Jedi. But I fully concur with Palpatine being Number 1.
31:00 it’s important to note that according to the books, people are afraid to say his name since it was cursed with taboo, death eaters and snatchers were alerted to the location of the speaker whenever it was spoken aloud. This was never explained in the movies.
I do agree with him Emperor Palatine being number one, he was never good, even when he was young if you read the book death plagues that explains his early life, he was never good, and if you wondering who death plagues was, it was his master when he was a sith apprentice never even cared about his own son as we seen him the sequels even tried to make his own granddaughter evil in the Rise of the skywalker just never had anything good about him. I agree with him being number one
20:44 this guy is was The Boys who have The Guts to talk trash about Homelander, right in front his face (he is lucky that Homelander didn’t just threw him into The Sun or shove his entire body inside a tin can)
I'd say Walter White was worse than Gus Fring. Because as ruthless and Machiavellian as Gus Fring stands out to be, he truly did have class and commendable legitimacy even if they were all serving as fronts for his gangland empire. That being said, I'm not saying I favour one or the other here. As time went on it became gradually clear that Walter White was so consumed by ambition and egomania that he proved to be just as dangerous as Gus yet a lot more worse at the same time. Case in point, Walt had intentionally poisoned a child and made Jesse believe that Gus is responsible. Yes Gus may seem like the kind of crime boss who has zero qualms about offing children, but the fact that Walt proved to be totally unrepentant over Brock's poisoning and was far from unwilling to not resort to authorize murder and destruction for the sake of his own survival proves that there truly are differences between him and Gus - but not in the way that Gus is worse than Walter, more like the other way round.
Green Goblin should be on here as well. Literally, the Goblin enters another dimension and tells Norman they have a new world to conquer. Plus, Goblin in the comics is very sadistic
Here is the real and true Villain-Ranking: - Number 1: Sauron from the Middleearth-Saga (2001-2014). - Number 2: Darkseid from the Superman- and DC-Franchise (1933 - Now). - Number 3: Thanos from the X-Men- and Marvel-Franchise (1939 - Now). - Number 4: Pinhead from the Hellraiser-Franchise (1987 - 2011). - Number 5 Malcom Betruger from the Doom-Franchise (1993 - Now). - Number 6: Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda-Franchise (1986 - Now). - Number 7: Sheev Palpatine from the Star Wars-Franchise (1977 - 2019). - Number 8: Griffith from Berserk (1989-Now) - Number 9: Skynet from the Terminator-Movies (1984 - 1991). - Number 10: Brad Wesley from Road House 1 (1989) - Number 11: Chance Wilder from Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991)
I know this is focusing primarily on video game/tv show/movie characters, but not including AM from “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” is criminal. They technically made a comic book out of it, so AM could count as a comic book villain.
@sizar9003 not just that, the evil atrocious acts they have comitted just outscale them way above the rest of fiction, especially qu, is 100% the most evil chararcer in all of fiction
For me, there is two villains who deserve an honorable mention. The Decepticon scientist Shockwave started out a humble senator who was punished by his own government by turning him from a passionate idealist to a cold, emotionless servant of logic. Depending on the continuity, this one eye Cybertronian is either one of Megatron's most loyal soldiers or one of his most treacherous. However, one thing stays the same, his cold and emotionless stare, his pursuit of logical goals without regards for ethics, and sometimes even teaming up with Unicron (more on him in a bit) to achieve his goals. From killing Megatron in the original Marvel comics, to completely rewriting Cybertronian history and mythology in IDW's 2005 continuity, this is a bot you don't want to cross. r The most powerful villain in all of Transformers and only rivaled by a few, Unicron has devoured countless worlds and at one point nearly consumed all of reality to satiate his hunger and he's not above torturing his subordinates like the reformatted Galvatron and Scourge if they fail. The only way to truly stop him is with the Matrix of Leadership and even then that might not be enough to stop him completely. Existing as the embodiment of destruction itself in the Transformers multiverse. The only thing that is certain is that Unicron might not ever be stopped and only delayed. If you ever see a planet with two giant mandibles and a massive maw in between them, you only have two options, run or be consumed.

Funny you will mention Kira Yoshikage from Jojo but forget about the ultimate bad guy whose influence can be felt throughout the series and different generations of Jojo, even when he is dead or incapacitated. There's no one more evil than Dio Brando/DIO in Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. Compared to the diabolical, egotistical and tyrannical megalomaniac that is Dio, Kira is just an impulsive serial killer that somehow got his hands on a supernatural power that made him a very effective serial killer, killing his victims and effectively removing all evidence against him. Kira is like a baby if you compare his atrocities to Dio.
Kira kills people out of a form of impulse or urge, a common trait that all serial killers have, whereas Dio kills just because he can and he views people as nothing more than food. Kira had committed no atrocities other than killing for pleasure, whereas Dio turned countless people into zombies, burned a dog alive in the furnace, schemed and killed his benefactor and adoptive father George Joestar, bullied and traumatised Jonathan Joestar throughout childhood, fed a mother her own baby and made a person drive through the pavement while killing the pedestrians.

The curse of the ring also ensured that no-one would intentionally destroy it, effectively giving Sauron an endless number of do-overs.
@@BrianWelch-vc7xy I know why he did it, which is why the Hobbits were the only people it couldn't fully control; he'd had no experience of them and didn't know their psychology as they hadn't yet migrated from the East when he was cast down in the War of the Last Alliance. If the One Ring had subsequently even been touched by Man, Elf, Dwarf or Orc, Sauron would've known immediately and been able to bend the finder to his will, but Smeagol, a Hobbit, found it and it passed from Hobbit to Hobbit thereafter. Every time the Ring was worn or touched, it was by a Hobbit, so Sauron was confused as he didn't know what he was dealing with and couldn't fully focus his power on them. This only served to help the Free Peoples in the end as Saurons desperation to retrieve the Ring from an unknown and unfamiliar bearer turned almost to panic and arguably caused him to make rash decisions.
Poor Sauron; having to deal with Hobbit psychology must have felt like trying to punch a brick wall through treacle, a real come down for one so almost Divinely powerful to be completely blindsided by a handful of midgets he'd never even heard of or noticed! 'The best laid plans of mice and men' indeed.
As for my original post, which I had quite forgotten about, sometimes an offhand joke is just an offhand joke.
I’m loving these top 30 lists! I love the longer ones!
I feel like Freiza definitely should be on a list like this lol. R.I.P. Toriyama.

Evil in a physical form
@@AlbertWeskerVRsame can be said for morgoth as he is the first dark lord of the lord of the rings franchise (Sauron was his servant) and was the literal source of all evil in his universe
@@jakealter5504 - Morgorth would be above Holden though, they're both Devil's in their universes but Morgorth scales higher because of how far his lore goes.
@@syrupsnake302 absolutely
I thought that Cartman was at least going to be an honorable mention
He has multiple redeeming qualities and has some heroic deeds.
@@bradleyhauertheedtruncanfa5020 What redeeming qualities?
@@jacklow9611 Zero. Zero redeeming qualities.
cartman is an absolute menace, never know what he’ll pull next
@@MrPuzzles I know that. That's why I asked @bradleyhauertheedtruncanfa5020 what redeeming qualities he was talking about. Thank you for responding, but I would like to know @bradley's thoughts on the matter.
Alan Rickman - whether he's the Sheriff of Nottingham, Hans Gruber or Severus Snape, the man chewed the scenery like few others with his presence and voice. Always fun to watch.
Yes, he was great. 😊 He will be missed.😢
@@ChibiProwlYEP…
Snape wasn't evil though, maybe before the books, but not since.
@@piervisser3121True, but but he acted as an excellent villain for five movies. As he so often does, Alan nailed the part perfectly.
@@AlmostEthical oh his acting is nothing short of brilliant, for sure, I just disagree with Snape being a villain, even if it's not fully apparent until the conclusion
Darth Sidious caused misery and suffering on a galactic scale, and all just to acquire power and control. He orchestrated a colossal scale war just to become Emperor and to kill all the Jedi. Nearly every death that happens throughout the Skywalker Saga can be traced back to him. That's what makes him the most evil villain ever
Worth mentioning that people are afraid of Voldemort's name because he's cursed it in a way that allows him to know when someone speaks it.
It kinda makes him the image of a dictator, he literally has the power to instantly know when his name is invoked in dissent, and as a result, the power to place a permanent chilling effect on dissent.
Even if he didn’t actually curse his name, just the rumor that he did would be enough to scare people from dissenting. It’s like how Marcus Corvinus told Viktor that, should he or his brother William be killed, all vampires or lycans would follow them to the grave. A clever deception, but one Viktor was not willing to test.
That was just in the final book though when he was trying to find Harry outside of school (and remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix). He placed a Taboo on his name to locate them. People were afraid of his name because he’s a terrifying sadistic sociopath who hurted countless families, not because of a curse.
The curse only existed in Deathly Hallows not in any of the other books
Homelander may not be the most evil, but he is without a doubt the scariest character I've ever seen onscreen. The uneasiness from knowing he could snap at any point and kill everyone is astounding. The actor is a genius.
Incredible narration from Rebecca. I would like to add John Doe from Se7en, because he is one of the most vile and evil people ever put to screen.
Another honourable mention I’d like to add possibly the most famous vampire ever count Dracula. I’m surprised he didn’t make this list, considering how iconic he is being the most famous vampire ever, and possibly one of the most famous villains ever
Is he truly evil though? I'm not a Dracula lore scholar, but I imagine his victims are mostly a result of him feeding, so he'd be no more evil than a lion or crocodile eating a person.
@@piervisser3121In the original novel he’s pretty damn sinister, so I’d say yes.
Dracula's only motives are hunger and love. The guy never preyed on townspeople or plotted world. Iconic and famous do not mean most evil.
Red John-The Mentalist
Adam-Forever
Lucifer-Supernatural
Pinhead, chief cenobite the Hellraiser series, Frank Booth from Blue Velvet, John Ryder from The Hitcher, Alex DeLarge frrom A Clockwork Orange, Jack Torrance from The Shining, Vladimir Harkonnen from Dune.
It wasn't Jack it was the Overlook.
I remember one particular scene from Hellraiser 2 or 3, where lemarchand's box were solved by some mentally ill guy. Cenobite usually kill the one who solved it, yet in this case Pinhead said something like "the boy solved it, but it was not his intention or will". And they spared him. True evil will not do such thing.
Some that should be on the list/honorable mentions

Can William Afton be with your list?
Five Nights at Freddy's own Purple Guy, aka William Afton. He always comes back, in one form or another. And you can never truly be rid of him or his legacy of evil.
I love how Joffrey Baratheon was called a cry baby as he was started to feel the effects on the poison. That was amazing! Well done!

I feel like Palpatine is THE best villain ever! Most villans explain their entire plan, then lose. With Palpatine, we watch his plan unfold before our own eyes and piecing to together ourselves. And two, with this one line, "The Republic will be reorganized into the FIRST! GALACTIC! EMPIRE! FOR A SAFE, AND SECURE! SOCIETY!" he takes control of an entire galaxy. Lord Voldemort couldn't even take over a school. Three, he takes the most gifted Jedi, the chosen one himself, Anakin Skywalker and twists him into his own personal pawn by grooming him and turning him against the Jedi. And four: "Execute Order 66." The Jedi who scoffed at the Sith's return are wiped out in a matter of minutes by their own army (who were bred and implanted with inhibitor chips for that sole purpose). That's all I need to say.
Palpatine is a great villain and I think he’s the most evil. But I wouldn’t say he’s the best. I think Darth Vader is a little bit better because he just has an interesting backstory and he’s just a great character in general and he deserves to be the most iconic tbh you don’t have to agree with me. That’s just my opinion.
@BSGMartensthat The fact that Pademe didn't dump him after the fact he slaughtered a village full of Sand people....
Claude Frollo is 100% more evil than scar
Fax.
I don’t even know how this is a debate. Everything Scar did, Frollo did worse.
David Tennant's Purple Man is legitimately the most frightening villain I've seen. That man can act, and the horrifying chemistry with Jessica Jones's actor is just so well done.
As a long time Doctor Who fan, that was real cognitive dissonance for me (I've never seen the movie, so seeing him in that short snippet was a bit of a shock). But yeah, what little I saw, he nailed it.
WatchMojo: "He is covetous, he is selfish-"
Me: "He's a lackey for Prince John."
I'm also willing to defend the Borg as having a blue/orange morality as opposed to being genuinely evil. I suspect the reason they intend to assimilate all life in the universe is because they feel being able to communicate with the entire collective at cybernetic speed is so preferable to all of their previous existences that the option of doing it by force now just makes so much more logical sense to them than spending an extended period of time trying to convince them orally to join the collective (especially when digital communication can make a second of real time feel like a year by comparison).
If this is the bar for evil you kids ain't ready for Judge Holden.
And am
Jigsaw’s victims who survive his games need as big a hug as possible. I’m not one to offer or accept them, but I’m willing to make an exception in that case.
Annie Wersching, no stranger to evil characters (see two Nathan Fillion TV series), portrayed the Borg Queen in Star Trek: Picard in one of her final roles.
Helmut zemos plan was so disturbing traumatic and even super evil intent. Vengeance.
One I would’ve added is Albert Wesker from Resident Evil. He had a god complex, superhuman strength, he was not above betraying anyone when it suited him, and just downright menacing. Epitome of badass villain
putting scar so high is CRAZY
And just above Darkseid at that. I’ll never understand the ranking choices for watchmojo vids. They also put the nurse from Cuckoo’s Nest above… Freddy fukn Krueger
Michael has always been my favorite. I hate that they tried to give him a back story though. You know, tried to give us a “reason” for his insanity smh. He’s scary because there was no reason for his insatiable need to kill.
Kinda disappointed the Allied Mastercomputer isn’t on here. Definitely deserves a spot.
Agreed.
I would love to see a fight between Emperor Palpatine and Firelord Ozai.
I’m betting it on Sidious
Firelord would be dead at once. He wouldn't even have enough time to make a single breath at Palpatine's sight

The man was NOT evil, he ultimately chose to side with the best option to defend and protect his ENTIRE race

"Tolkien stated in his Letters that although he did not think "Absolute Evil" could exist as it would be "Zero", "in my story Sauron represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible." He explained that, like "all tyrants", Sauron had started out with good intentions but was corrupted by power, and that he "went further than human tyrants in pride and the lust for domination", being in origin an immortal (angelic) spirit" quote end.
That should tell you everyting. Sauron is above any human tyrant. The Grandmaster of all fantasy explicitly designed him to be like that. Because of that Sauron should be #1

Charles Lee Ray aka Chucky has no remorse for those he kills, even as a little boy he murdered his own mother
Where the fuck was Frieza? Frieza is vile, bloodthirsty and nihilistic. I mean look at some of the acts he’s committed. He has committed genocide to multiple alien civilizations, destroyed countless planets, has murdered even children, manipulated Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz into believing a lie about the fate of their planet just so that they could serve as his pawns, is the reason for Goku being sent to Earth and his most well known act: killing Goku’s best friend Krillin right in front of him. Not including the Emperor of the Universe on this list is an absolute crime.

Griffith aka Femto... might be a tad niche for something like watchmojo admittedly
For Sauron: "For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so." He was one of the maiar (a lesser god if you wil), of the same race as gandalf.
For Voldemort: It is not that they fear the name because of all the things he did in the last war. The name was enchanted to be taboo, speaking it, would tell your location. And since only his opponents used his name, as his followers called him "dark lord". Anyone using his name got murdered. So speaking his name was suicide.
Where's Judge Holden
That’s what I was asking!
Am or Qu as well.
I am not sure under what means the folks at WatchMojo came up with the villians on this list, however WatchMojo should have allowed this list to be at least 35 to include the following folks of evil: Ursula, Leatherface, Jason Voorsese, Ramsey Bolton and Chucky. For at least Chucky really should be on this list for sure....
No Nyralathotep? He is one of the most evil characters in all of fiction and what about AM from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, that AI is sadism and cruelty incarnate.
Those 2 are easily amongst *my* Top 30.
Pennywise, Magnetto, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Leatherface, Micheal Meyers, The Jigsaw Killer, Jason, The Omen, Anthony Bates, Angela Baker, Dracula, Wolfman, The Thing From The Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, Phantom Of The Opera, The Invisable Man, Bride Of Frankenstein, Chucko, Bride of Chucky, Cujo, The Mummy Jaws, Leprechaun, Poltergiest,
Technically Magneto is just a antihero. He has justifiable motivations to hate humanity he was persecuted as a jew and later as a mutant. His life is very tragic he even helped the Xmen during certain times. I think Magneto is the greatest “villian” ever.
I would also argue that Wolfman, Frankenstein, & Bride Of Frankenstein arent evil just misunderstood.
I’m ngl, I really did think Jack Horner would make the cut
I'm suprised you guys didn't add Judge Holden
33:28 Error on the film being displayed. It says Episode VI: The Empire Strikes Back. Yeah, it should be Episode V. You mixed it up with Return of the Jedi.

Judge Holde- Oh sorry, I forgot this channel is family friendly.
I could get hate, but I think Mr. Glass from Unbreakable should have a spot on this list. He killed hundreds of people to eventually find his opposite
Agree 100%
31:00 it’s important to note that according to the books, people are afraid to say his name since it was cursed with taboo, death eaters and snatchers were alerted to the location of the speaker whenever it was spoken aloud. This was never explained in the movies.
Umbridge should be here instead of Voldemort
Voldemort is more iconic and recognizable
Nah, what?
Bring books into this and it sets the top 15 back again

I do agree with him Emperor Palatine being number one, he was never good, even when he was young if you read the book death plagues that explains his early life, he was never good, and if you wondering who death plagues was, it was his master when he was a sith apprentice never even cared about his own son as we seen him the sequels even tried to make his own granddaughter evil in the Rise of the skywalker just never had anything good about him. I agree with him being number one

this guy is was The Boys who have The Guts to talk trash about Homelander, right in front his face (he is lucky that Homelander didn’t just threw him into The Sun or shove his entire body inside a tin can)
I'd say Walter White was worse than Gus Fring. Because as ruthless and Machiavellian as Gus Fring stands out to be, he truly did have class and commendable legitimacy even if they were all serving as fronts for his gangland empire.
That being said, I'm not saying I favour one or the other here. As time went on it became gradually clear that Walter White was so consumed by ambition and egomania that he proved to be just as dangerous as Gus yet a lot more worse at the same time.
Case in point, Walt had intentionally poisoned a child and made Jesse believe that Gus is responsible. Yes Gus may seem like the kind of crime boss who has zero qualms about offing children, but the fact that Walt proved to be totally unrepentant over Brock's poisoning and was far from unwilling to not resort to authorize murder and destruction for the sake of his own survival proves that there truly are differences between him and Gus - but not in the way that Gus is worse than Walter, more like the other way round.
Khan from Star Trek 2 would be a good honorable mention.
Where's Nemesis from Nemesis Reloaded?
I think the American psycho and leather face deserve a mention anyone who kills with a chainsaw is just a absolute savage

RIP Alan Rickman /:
For me, there is two villains who deserve an honorable mention.
The Decepticon scientist Shockwave started out a humble senator who was punished by his own government by turning him from a passionate idealist to a cold, emotionless servant of logic. Depending on the continuity, this one eye Cybertronian is either one of Megatron's most loyal soldiers or one of his most treacherous. However, one thing stays the same, his cold and emotionless stare, his pursuit of logical goals without regards for ethics, and sometimes even teaming up with Unicron (more on him in a bit) to achieve his goals. From killing Megatron in the original Marvel comics, to completely rewriting Cybertronian history and mythology in IDW's 2005 continuity, this is a bot you don't want to cross.
r
The most powerful villain in all of Transformers and only rivaled by a few, Unicron has devoured countless worlds and at one point nearly consumed all of reality to satiate his hunger and he's not above torturing his subordinates like the reformatted Galvatron and Scourge if they fail. The only way to truly stop him is with the Matrix of Leadership and even then that might not be enough to stop him completely. Existing as the embodiment of destruction itself in the Transformers multiverse. The only thing that is certain is that Unicron might not ever be stopped and only delayed. If you ever see a planet with two giant mandibles and a massive maw in between them, you only have two options, run or be consumed.
