    It has to be Shredder & Krang out of The Turtles.

    What a great show. :D

    I quite enjoyed Lord Faarquad in Shrek (back in Shrek 2 btw, don't know if it's as a ghost or not). The nastiness being done to the Gingerbread man did it for me.

    Dick Dastardly was a great villain, albeit a fairly repetitive one.

    Obviously Megatron/Galvatron from Transformers.
    Mumra from Thundercats too.

    I always thought it was hilarious how Dick Dastardly would be winning in Wacky races without cheatin once, but would then set up a trap to make sure he won, and lose because of a fault with the trap or it backfiring. For that reason alone he's one of me faves. Mum-ra is cool as well.

    For sheer amusement values it has to be either Wile E. Coyote or Gesename(can't spell it !) Sam.

    What's the evil lad from Bravestarr ?

    Hades from Ulysses 31 - he was soooo powerful and kinda scary.

    Mum-ra and Skeletor (original He-Man, not comic future re-invented Skeletor) were good altho', yeah, I had a soft spot for TMNT's Shredder.

    I loved some of the "villains" from Gundam Wing but then, they weren't really villains - just had opposing points of view/philosophy. Treize Kresh-Renada rocked though.

    Gundam wing is the worst of the gundam shows tbh, and in comparison to some of them, it's laughably bad. Watch Z gundam and some of the others, even the newest one Gundam SEED is brilliant in comparison if you want really good villians etc.

    Dick Dastardly
    Monty Burns

    I heard repeatedly that Wing was the best of them! Best characters, etc. I kinda liked the fact there was no villain. That and big robots smashing things up...

    Yea, there's a fairly even split on whether it sucks or not. The people that are sayin it doesn't are mostly american male and female teenagers. The reasons they give are the mecha designs and the characters. But to be honest most of the characters are just copies of older gundam series's. Zech for instance withe his mask, and his relationship to relena is just a copy of Char Aznable.

    And as for the mobile suits, notice how they can't run, and how limited their movements are, it's the only series where this is the case. Also, the main mecha designer for that particular series (Hajimo Katoki or something like that) uses the same kinda mecha designs, only much more mobile, better lookin and better armed in SEED.

    Most of the Gundam series's don't actually use any one main villain, it's about war, so, they're usually about factions. One of the better parts of the Gundam series as a whole, and this includes Wing, is that there's no clear good side and bad side. Each side has done both good and bad things, and they're just fighting a war cause of disagreements, and the shows are partly about the pointlessness and horror of war, and its effect on people's lives, and partly about great big mothafuc*ing robots with mental weapons blowing seven shades of sh*t outta each other. ww)

    Can't believe I forgot Monty Burns. The most cunning, evil and dastardly of them all (except for the Brain, even more cunning, evil and dastardly).
