My picks to Merfilly's meme
Letter D
1. Doctor Doom: The first Major Villian I remember really getting into. Here was the ruler of small European nation, who believed he was the rightful ruler of the world. Yes he had this Mad-On for Reed Richards but, he was so much more than that. His people loved him. They regarded him as a Just and fair ruler. Gotta love a Villian who was so Sure of himself ansd full of himself at the same time. I know some of you who know me are wondering why not Luthor? The early Luthor stories were a bit more petty on the I hate Superman because he made my hair fall out.
2: David Lopan: Big T in Little C is on the top of my list of favorite movies. Lopan was that mixture of Humor and Danger that I seem to be drawn to. I love Giffen/Maguire Justice League, Anything just about by Joss Whedon, and the list goes on and on. David Lopan was so interesting, mystic living thousands of years searching for that perfect woman only to have to sacrifice her to his god. That's an over-simplification of his story but it makes for an awesome origin.
3.Arthur Simpson Deighton (a.k.a. Arta Myrdhyn)from the book series The Guardians of the Flame: Originally introduced as a college professor and a DM. It is eventually revealed that he is an insanely powerful (and possibly powerfully insane) wizard. I loved this series. The geek in me wished something like this was actually possible. A group of gamers are somehow trasported into the Very real world of their RPG. Deighton is later discovered to be the reason for their shift in realities. I liked him for a couple of reasons, his was a combo of Arthur and Merlin. And he was gloriously insane which some would say Merlin was as well.
4.Darth Vader: Duh! I don't think I need to tell you what i like about this character. Presence,Power,Intimidation, and Ultimate Bad-ass. I speak of the Vader from episodes 4,5,&6, not the wimpy Anakin from the end of 3. The Guy reinvented the movie Villian IMHO.
5.Darkseid: This character has the same appeal to me that Vader does. The Ultimate Evil bad-ass, added to this is the Anti-Life equation. The destruction of all life which Darkseid believes if he can control this force he can control all lif in the Universe.
