Who is the greatest villain in fiction?

Judge Holden. You can't outrun him, can't kill him, can't outsmart him and can't outlast him. Mass murderer, rapist, scalper, philosopher and a literal monster in human skin. And best part, so to speak? He gets away with it.

Just looked him up and read the whole Wikipedia article. Quite disturbing. Apparently the only real account we have of him was from Samuel Chaimberlain. Definitely seems to have been a very, very evil 'being.'

You seem fascinated with rape🤨

[Agape93]

Nope, i despise the concept. But it's a very heavy aspect of the character

The Emperor

Madara... sure managed to make a whole mess, had a valid point (kind of) and still manage to make the world, better...

Madara or Aizen, perhaps...

[Iron_Man]

Probably Michael Myers the next is the terminator

[Cidknee]

Science fiction. 😅

[Iron_Man]

well yes that’s what the guy said

[Iron_Man]

Thank you for the award, my friend

For me it’s Johan Liebert from “Monster” 😈

He has no powers, no gadgets, just pure, elegant evil. He manipulates everyone, causes chaos without lifting a finger, and stays eerily calm while doing it. He’s terrifying precisely because he feels terrifyingly realistic.

Runner-ups in my head: Joker, Darth Vader, and Hannibal Lecter, but Johan still wins 🩸📺

[LazerBean]

Probably Peirce Brown for being so ruthless in killing off some of my favorite characters in his books

[Red2003]

For me, it's Kathryn Merteuil more into toying with her victims.
