Just asking what is the best villain for each media.

He is more awesome that I can express in one simple post, but I'll try.

Thrawn is the epitome of the calm chessmaster - able to guess his opponent's moves. How does he read them? By studying their art. Thrawn analyzes his opponent's art styles to understand their thinking processes and weaknesses, which he then exploits to devastating effect. Thrawn is notably not Force-sensitive - but he still manages to defeat Jedi and Sith through the clever use of ysalamiri, creatures that repel the Force. He even has one that he keeps with him at all times, which is pretty boss.

Despite being ruthless to his enemies, Thrawn is surprisingly fair-minded - in one incident, he promoted a tractor beam operator despite his failure to capture Luke Skywalker. Why? Because the operator thought creatively. Thrawn is not afraid to cut his losses and retreat. Thrawn crippled the New Republic with a quarter of the resources the old Empire had. He knows when to strike and when to fade. He's a complete genius when it comes to strategy, and the deadliest character ever conceived.

He ranks second on my list of fictional characters, though. The top spot goes to Skulduggery Pleasant, but he's not a villain.
 
There are several I like:

Vegeta
Frieza
Cell
Buu
King Ghidorah
Mechagodzilla
Darth Vader
The Emperor
Petey Piranha
King Boo
Ganondorf
The Joker
Two-Face
Doomsday
Brainiac
Fire Lord Ozai
Azula
Zuko
Giovanni
Loki
Venom
Scar (The Lion King)
Several more I missed.

See this is the kind of posts I ask for in this thread.

I would make long, drawn out posts, but that would take too long considering the size of my list.

Then just do one post for each villain
 
In general, I prefer villains to heroes - they're usually more interesting and/or entertaining. Rather than rattle off a list of faves, I guess I'll just talk about my favourite literary villain, cuz I doubt anyone else will say him: Richard III, from Shakespeare's history plays.

He's pretty awesome: in his first scene in the series, the good guys make fun of him for being a gimpy hunchback and he tells them to go to hell, and proceeds to kill his dad's #1 rival in the next scene. Then the play ends and the next one picks up where it left off: Richard's dad and his brother reconvene after the battle and show each other their bloody swords as evidence of their protagonist-slaying success, then Richard comes in and holds up the rival's severed head and is like, "I'll let this speak for itself" and they're all, "you win". Richard then spends the rest of that play and the play after that (which is named after him) fooling everyone into thinking he's loyal and great even as he murders his way to the throne, with the old king, his brother, his two little nephews, and his wife (the widow of one of the guys he helped kill earlier) among the body count. And why does he do all that? Because he looks like a monster and he hates everyone for having fun without him, pretty much, but if he was the king his life would be awesome despite his looks and limp, and he figures actually becoming the monster is the best way to make that happen. And he's kinda right - although burning all his bridges catches up to him eventually (after he accomplished everything he set out to do and became King of England, mind you). But even when the ghosts of his murder victims show up and curse him to die, and he realizes that even he hates himself, that doesn't dissuade him from continuing to be the best villain he could be, and he goes out fighting like a boss.

Meet Raphael's pet turtle Spike, now turned into Slash. Unlike past versions, this version of Slash has average IQ and combined with his unmatched strength and super speed (by turtle standards at least), he has the potential to be a difficult opponent to beat and is arguably deadlier than Shredder. Slash flattens 2 of the turtles to the point where one of them suffered a broken arm and could barely move. Plus he has a couple of advantages Shredder doesn't. His fighting skills came from watching Raphael train and he knows where the turtles live.

Shredder himself is no slouch either. His rap sheet so far includes attempted murder, successful murder, kidnapping an infant, lying to a child, possibly being an abusive parent, affiliating with a street gang, attempted city property damage, kidnapping an alien, kidnapping another child, and helping an alien race conquer Earth all for the sake of from his point of view revenge.
 
Bowser is the best villain because he can breath fire and he's a turtle, and he has spikes, and he has horns, which is basically like being cooadruple qul.
 
Prospero in The Tempest (until he stops being a villain, anyway)
