Greatest Villain Tournament 2014 Edition: Nomination Thread

[LumRanmaYasha]

As for Space, I haven't seen Gravity so there's a chance I could be mistaken, but I get the feeling that it would be like calling the iceberg in Titanic a villain.

It is. 

Korosensei (Assassination Classroom) - I really, really struggled as to whether I should count him, since he doesn't act like a villain: in fact, he is the most heroic character in the manga. Yet, technically, he is a villain protagonist, a teacher, friend, guardian but also a enemy, criminal, and target to his students and co-teachers Irina and Karasuma. I'm pretty sure I know what the twist about his character could be from the first chapter...but then again my expectations could be totally wrong. He is certainly one of the most interestngly presented "villain" characters I've seen in fiction, since by all means I should and could consider him a hero. At the end of the day, though, he is still the villain of the story, and I think I should nominate him if only to shamelessly promote a manga and character I'm really enjoying.

Feel free to just remove mine. I couldn't think of a tenth villain to nominate, since everyone else had already taken a lot of my picks.

[Pharass]

As you wish.

The op has now been updated with a complete list of nominees. I decided not to include Homura Akemi's nominations of Space or Captain Janeway. The former for obvious reasons and the second because, like I said, I don't think she was ever intentionally portrayed as villainous. I also tossed in a few late additions of my own:

The Library Killer (The Name of the Rose)
Tano Carridi (The Octopus)
Olrik (Blake & Mortimer)
Justin Crowe (Carnivale)
Roose Bolton (Game of Thrones)
Lucius Cornelius Sulla (Masters of Rome)
"Preacher" Harry Powell (The Night of the Hunter)

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

The Library Killer (The Name of the Rose)

Man, I didn't even think of that one. Nice call. And it's great to see someone else who even remembers that movie. Such an underrated classic.

Also....

Vigo (Ghostbusters II)

OK, that's the last nomination from me, I swear!

[Spark Of Spirit]

This is gonna be a loooooooooooooong competition.

[Pharass]

This is gonna be a loooooooooooooong competition.

Yeah, I'm thinking that maybe it's time to lock this thread and get this started a bit earlier than I originally planned.

Doctor (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Just so we're clear: This is the doctor who was a member of Sensui's group, right?

[LumRanmaYasha]

Last minute nominations!

Jake Martinez (Tiger and Bunny)
Lunatic (Tiger and Bunny)
Albert Maverick (Tiger and Bunny)
Rai-dei the Blade (Trigun Maximum)
Him (The Powerpuff Girls)
Mojo Jojo (The Powerpuff Girls)
Mandark (Dexter's Laboratory)
The Red Guy (Cow and Chicken)

Doctor (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Just so we're clear: This is the doctor who was a member of Sensui's group, right?

I am 100% sure that is who he means. 

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

 Yes, Minoru "Doctor" Kamiya.

The Shredder (TMNT)
Agent Bishop (TMNT '03. My favorite thing about the show)
Proto Man (as Break Man in Mega Man 3)
Commander Rehalt Guou/Richard Guyot (Guyver)
Guyver 2 (Guyver)
Enzyme (Guyver)
Aptom (Guyver)

Desen, I've only seen Bishop in 2K3 and I wanted to point out how I liked the character so that's why I said which version.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Is Ahab from Moby Dick included? If not, that's my final nomination.

The Shredder (TMNT)
Agent Bishop (TMNT '03. My favorite thing about the show)

Not including The Shredder from TMNT2K3?

"Alonzo is definitely the better villain of the 2, and I would attribute that in big part to him having a better portrayal than Vincent, since Denzel Washington is clearly a far better actor than Tom Cruise. Still, I think Vincent is a great and really memorable villain in his own right, and even though I normally do not like Tome Cruise's acting, this role is one of the only 2 or 3 exceptions for me among his entire career as an actor."

EK, this is your post from the first villain nomination thread here. Do you still like Alonzo more than Vincent? I noticed that you didn't even try to nominate Alonzo this time. Just curious.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Oh, shit! I totally forgot about Alonzo! Oh well, a promise is a promise. No more nominations from me.

[gunswordfist]

I already nominated him on the first page.

[Pharass]

List has been updated.

By the way, I checked and I can't find Friend (20th Century Boys) or General Woundwort (Watership Down) on the list of nominees. It's possible that I didn't check carefully enough so I'll hold off on adding them to list, unless they haven't been nominated already.

[Spark Of Spirit]

If they haven't been nominated then I'm sure no one would mind you adding them regardless.

How many nominees have there been, by the way?
