[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] And from _Babyon 5,_ we have the cold-blooded Machiavellan [Lord Refa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Refa); the gloriously over-the-top Caligulan [Emperor Cartagia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Cartagia); the Mephistophelian [Mr. Morden](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morden_%28Babylon_5%29); and the telepath-supremacist fascist megalomaniac [Alfred Bester.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Bester_%28Babylon_5%29) There’s some **villains** for ya! (That’s about it, really. The Shadows figure as monsters, not villains, and President Clark never develops as a character.) [/QUOTE] But that’s a TV show not a movie, or I would’ve brought them up myself. Great characters on that show. ---

Hank Scorpio from the Simpsons. Not a movie, I know, but such a great parody of movie villains. ---

HJitler, in all those WWII documentaries. Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Operative in Serenity. Willing to kill hundreds of people to keep a secret for a government he knows is corrupt, but hopes can become better. The Reavers are horrific and scary, but ultimately, the Operative is far scarier than them. StG [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-are-your-favorite-movie-villains/430608.md?page=3)
