“Kneel before Zod!”

I would rip off Kefka from FFVI.

“Life… dreams… hope… Where’d they come from? And where are they headed? These things… I am going to destroy! . . . I shall make a monument to nonexistence”

That guy was the epitome of cool, insane evilness.

People of Earth - congratulations to you on this, the day of your great and glorious liberation! You are free, at last, from the whims of local despots, the petty grovelings of your politicans - for I, Mr. Excellent, am now your sole lord and master. Cooperate with me, and you shall enjoy peace and prosperity. Resist, and all the tears in the world will be insufficient to match your weeping. Obey!
