| #1 Villain in history, Hitler or Stalin.
Personally I'd give Stalin the edge, he was as big a monster as Hiter, ruled for longer and had worse dress sense.
In the realm of fiction my #1 would be the Emperor from Star wars. Come on! Vader was great in the first couple of movies, after that, Lucas chipped away at the evil facade until all you can see is a bit of a wuss in a gimp suit.
The Emperor undermined the old republic, conquered the galaxy, wiped out the Jedi and built the death star.
Now THAT is a villain |
