Greatest villain of all time - Movies, tv, comics, books

[IkeaBoy]

First off British accent, truly a sign of a good villain. Other than that it's important to have a complete lack of morality yet a knowing you're doing something wrong. There's a difference between a villain who doesn't understand what he's doing and one who just does it because, let's face it, it's fun. They know they're evil, they know they're going to hell but they don't care, they live for the day and enjoy watching others in complete pain and misery. Killing is one thing, getting near orgasmic pleasure from the spilled blood of your enemy or just a random person who happened to be near you at the wrong time is another.

Now--

Literature:
Iago- Othello (Shakespeare- fine make fun of me for using Shakespeare but he was an awesome villain)
Claudius- Hamlet (once again shakespeare but he was definitely quite evil)
Satan- I mean, it's Satan.
The Law Officials/The Court/The Government- Franz Kafka's The Trial

Films:
Ernst Stavro Blofeld- the Connery Bond films and that Lazenby one. Unfortunately due to a legal dispute they couldn't use him post Diamonds are Forever.
Stay Puft Marshmellow Man- Ghostbusters. I mean, it's a fucking marshmellow man stepping on churches. you don't get much more evil than that.
Frank Booth- Blue Velvet
Norman Stansfield- The Professional

TV:
Windem Earle- second season of twin peaks. despite that season's faults, he was a quite cool opponent to Dale Cooper
Dr. Forrester/Tv's Frank for the goofy factor
