Villains, you follow them all over the Globe, kill them and they still somehow come back for the sequel. Many things make a villain, craziness, evil laugh, badass hair. Here is a list of the top 10 villains of videogames. Some entries include Bowser, Daiblo, Ganondorf. Which one will be number 1?

Every game has a different storyline and different factors driving that storyline, but all games have one factor in common. That one factor is the bad-ass whose music or voice sends chills up your spine when you hear it and you know what's about to happen. Each villain is different and each has it's own way of doing things. To make this list they have to have done something either extremely evil, have a truly dark and deprived past, or simply make the player soil themselves when they make their appearance.

    I was kind of disappointed with this list. Bowser should have been a place or two higher, and Ganondorf should have been higher as well. Still a nice countdown though.

    I'm not really a fan of Resident Evil, but I was surprised that Albert Wesker was actually #9 in the list.

    I am a bit surprised, I didn't really expect any Final Fantasy enemy to get a higher place than Sephiroth. Also, I find it a bit odd that villains like Weiss from Dirge of Cerberus and Dr. Eggman from the Sonic the Hedgehog games did not make it to the list. Eggman destroyed half the moon and nearly destroyed Earth as well, so why wasn't he on that list? Zant probably could have been on that list too, as he did cover all of Hyrule in twilight, making everyone become souls.

    Shang Sung! I hate him, he looks like he has a muscle spasm in his arm when he fights.

    Mantis should of been higher, and more MGS characters should of been in there.

    MGS has some of the best bosses ever

    Eh, the list could have been better. Bowser and Ganon should have been higher, Ganon a lot higher.

    Some of the vllains didn't make sense given the spot they recieved, but when you think about it, they only had ten slots to put the top villains from every game ever created.

    Who the hell is Kefka and Shang Tsung? Why are they #1 and #2??

    Ganondorf should be placed wayyy higher.

    Ganondorf should have been higher, And sephiroth should have taken the #1 spot. Not that great of a list.

    Sephiroth doesn't deserve #1, Kefka sure does though I thought that Ganondorf should be higher up the list, but I completely agree with who they have as #1.

    Ganondorf shouldn't be that low. He should be much higher. Mantis should be higher, as well. Shang Tsung isn't all that great, he should be much lower, if there at all.

    Thank God Sephiroth didn't make #1. And Diablo making it onto the list is awesome.

    Ganondorf needed to be higher, really.

    The problem with "Top ____ List" is that all of these are done up in someones own opinion. Obviously people are going to disagree. However, it seems this person who made the list isn't that familiar with end boss popularity.

    Of course, people are arguing who should be higher/lower #1 off the list, on the list, etc..

    Its the article writer's opinion...not a bad list though ;;

    Ganondorf should have been in the top three imo. Kefka deserves the #1 spot...Sephiroth is just too cocky when it came to Cloud and such.

    Tekmosis is correct, it's obviously biased and the majority of people wouldn't agree with the ordering and such.

    It's nice to see Kefka getting some recognition for a change. He was an epic bad guy ... Though #1 spot is a bit of a stretch. He certainly wasn't as memorable or well-known as Bowser, Wesker, Sephiroth, or Ganondorf.


    The rest of the list is pretty good. I'm a bit iffy with some of the placements though, but overall most of the characters that are there deserve to be there.

    Wesker is way underrated, RE's magnificent plot alone revolved around him...AND STILL DOES.

    Psycho Mantis, also underrated, he's the only boss in gaming history that requires you to change your controller from port 1 to port 2 so he wouldn't read your mind, that's memorable.

    Shang Tsung is pretty much awesome, his shapeshifting helps in EVERY MK game, especially his Kintaro fatality in MK2.

    I don't know that many non Nintendo villains, I always go for their consoles instinctively, although some Xbox and Xbox360 I have played games are rather good, but Jack of Blades, the convenient and the Flood don't stand out to me as villains. But based on the fact Bowser was above Gannondorf I don't like it. In an Nintendo top five though I know how I would put them.

    Andross

    Evil floating super powerful brain with an army and a vengeance.

    Bowser

    A dragon who craves an empire by any means and just loves 'fun'.

    Master Hand

    A demon possessed hand which warps heroes to a land where they exist only for battle regardless of how much their world needs them.

    Gannondorf

    A man corrupted by timeless power who toys with the power of the Gods and destroys all in his wake who do not match him. With the soul of the demon beast Gannon as one with with his own.

    Miis

    The most evil by far. They steal the lives of all people from them slowly and enjoyably with and addictive game-play. Being the final sign of the end of this order and the beginning of absolute computer supremacy, as while the destruction of humanity through a transformation into one with machines.
