i think the guy from the saw movies is a pretty nasty villian. or kevin spacey's character from seven. Sick and demented views, and the utmost determination to finish what they started.

Gargamel--the Un-Smurfiest of them all. (You can tell by the smell Gargamel is in the Dell)
Karl Rove--he's so evil, he has to be fictional.
Al Gore--he's so evil--and wooden, he has to be fictional. Hey, he invented the Internet after all, and we all know that's the great second aunt of all evil.
The Shadows--see B5--destoyer of worlds, bringer of Chaos, enslavers of men's minds.
pS I second a showdown list to weed out the evil wannabe's from the essences of pure nastiness.
That's why I put in Gargamel. I want to see his obit.

Okay, I put Kevin Spacey's guy in Se7en and Rutger Hauer's guy in The Hitcher in a dead heat. But both of them lose to the people who made those movies. Evil, evil, evil.

My vote goes to Doctor Robotnik. Or for pure, unadultered evil with zero sympathizable qualities, Kevin of Sin City fame.
Sephy HAD been the first thought on my mind since I had just watched the mpeg of Aerith's death. (I cried, yes)
But now that I think about Sevies, I really like Sevothtarte from Angel Sanctuary. That guy was one sick little bastard. As if putting a needle behind Gabriel-sama's neck wasn't enough to put him no.1 on the list.

I agree about the Kevin Spacey villians! I am much more creeped out by the sneaky, quiet villian than someone loud and obvious like the Joker (although I loved Jack Nicholson playing him).

Magneto, far and above. He's not a villain, he's an antihero -- I always find myself rooting for him, or at least his later incarnations when he battles to save and protect his people rather than doing the boring usual let's-kill-humanity-what-else-is-there-to-do-we're-villains twirling-mustache crap typical of "villains." He's noble, he's honorable, he's powerful, he takes on impossible odds and constant betrayal alone, the burden borne on his tired shoulders for no reason but altruism and selflessness. He's earned our respect time and time again simply for the odds he battles and the desperate solitude of his life. We disagree with him, but it's hard to argue with his experiences -- and, after all, he acts only to protect others from the hells he's suffered through. He's noble, simply misguided -- and even that's debateable. I love him.
Also, the Joker, but not because he was "creepy" -- because, as someone said, he's the perfect counterpoint to Batman. Batman is fear personified, terrible and cold -- he's what everyone should and does fear, but he fights the good fight. Joker is a similar oxymoron, taking the familiar form of a clown, but violating the stereotype of childhood joy usually associated with clowns by instead of becoming happiness personified, taking caricaturization in the opposite direction -- and becoming insanity, cruelty, pain. He's brilliant. I can't wait to see what Christopher Nolan will do with him.
I would cite some characters from A Song of Ice and Fire, but there are no villains there, not for more than a few chapters.
And, of course, the Brain, but we all knew that...
