All people ever talk about is how great the hero is and blah blah blah. But let's not forget what makes a hero a hero, and that would be the villain. You can't have a hero without a villain. Everyone appreciates a good villain. So let's take the time to talk about some of our favorite villains as seen in all of entertainment.
Some of my favorites include...
Albert Wesker-A power hungry and knowledgeable man who would go through extreme lengths for his own gain. Being the captain of S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, he led most of his squad to their demise in a zombie infested mansion in the Arklay Mountains. During what is known as the Mansion Incident, he blackmailed one of his teammates into lying to and almost killing the surviving members of Alpha Team or his wife and children die. His determination went as far as injecting himself with a prototype virus to fake his death in order to escape the mansion which will ultimately grant him superhuman power. Wesker was so evil that he even used and betrayed the evil corporation known as Umbrella to further himself and accomplish his goal of becoming a god.
What makes Albert Wesker such a great villain is that not only is he powerful, but he has style and a brain. Not to mention an unforgettable accent. He spent most of the Resident Evil series as a behind the scenes guy who was ultimately responsible for whatever mayhem was taking place. In the end it was his ego and cockiness that cost him his life by the hands of Chris Redfield. The man he had betrayed and whose life he forever changed.

Shredder/Oroku Saki/Chre'll-An evil Utrom prisoner who was being transported across the galaxy, was responsible for the Utroms crash landing on Earth with no way home. As the Utroms waited for Earth to become technologically advanced enough to finally return to their homeworld, created exo-suits to allow them to roam the Earth without revealing their true identity as aliens. Chre'll, stealing an exo-suit claims the identity of an ancient warrior named Oroku Saki, who was corrupted by an evil demon that would turn him into the Shredder. Chre'll now Oroku Saki/Shredder used this new identity to create himself an army of ninja known as the Foot Clan. As centuries passed, Chre'll settled down in New York and became known as a philanthropist by the name of Oroku Saki in which the city loved and respected, while secretly leading a life of crime as the Shredder.
This specific version of the Shredder would have to be one of my all time favorite villains because he is the definition of evil. He cares nothing for life and has dominated many worlds all over the galaxy. When those who obey him meet failure, pay with their lives if they are of no more value to him. Even those of value face harsh punishment like getting an eye, legs, and a hand removed while still being forced to work for him against their will. I also like the Lex Luthor vibe I get from his character when he's Oroku Saki, but when he's Shredder...he gets straight to business. Every battle with him is deadly, his armor is menacing, and his voice is very threatening. What's not to love?

The Joker-The Clown Prince of Crime...where to start. The Joker is a very unique villain because he's evil, but with a twist. He doesn't want to take over the world. He doesn't even want to kill his arch nemesis, Batman. It's all fun and games with Joker. If his end were to ever meet him, he'd simply laugh or want to take Batman with him...while laughing. For as insane and twisted Joker is, he's very intelligent. He doesn't have any super powers or isn't even a skilled fighter, but never fails to have a plan. Joker is the kind of villain you love because he's just so sick it's funny, but also has a habit of taking things really far that it's not funny. It's no doubt that Joker is an icon, and it's no surprise either. From his iconic laugh, to his change in tone of voice, to his dark comedy, to his whacky and outrageous stunts. Joker is one of the greatest villains of all time.
