Scar,
The Lion King Scar was the brother of Mufasa. Mufasa was the Pride leader (King) of the Pride lands. Scar would have been king, but was weaker than his brother and lions rule by strength. When Simba is born, it seems all hope for Scar to become king is lost. But Scar is smarter than Mufasa and plots to kill his brother and nephew (Simba, the hero) with the aid of hyenas and a stampede of buffalo. Mufasa dies and Simba is chased into the desert by the hyenas. Scar becomes king and invites the hyenas into the pride lands. Eventually Simba returns and there is a huge battle between the lions, Simba and his friends and Scar and the hyenas. Scar loses the battle and is devoured by the hyenas after trying to put the blame for everything on them. Voiced by Jeremy Irons, Scar is one of the old school Disney villains with the best in modern sophistication and dry, witty dialogue. He has a great song and a grisly off-camera death scene. And unlike many villains he starts off with nothing and gets everything he wants- before he gets everything he deserves. Thanks again, Loneheart! |

Shredder, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles A kitchen utensil?? Not quite. Let me see if I can recall his story. Shredder was a martial arts master who used his powers for evil. His face was clawed by his pet rat and therefore he wears a mask. Well that's how they showed it in the movie, anyway. Anyway, Shredder has the sense of style, the monumental ego, and can you forget his henchman organization, otherwise known as "The Foot?" Never. Shredder was impressive in both animated as well as live action format, and for that reason I considered adding him to the Live Action Gallery. Then again he would be in competition with the Joker for most-frequent villain on this site, and frankly I don't think Shredder can hold a candle to the Joker so here he sits, in animated form only. An impressive animated form, nonetheless. |

Simon
Bar Sinister, Underdog |

Simon the Monster Hunter, AAAHHH! Real Monsters So, ehhh, you believe in monsters? Simon sure does. In fact, he believes so strongly that he'll do anything to prove it to you. This includes baiting and trapping real monsters in scary situations, just so he can show you the truth. His pursuit of capturing a monster and proving their undeniable existence is like a crusade. Unfortuately, he's just not as smart as a monster, apparantly, seeing as he's never quite been able to prove his point. |

Dr.
Sivana, Captain Marvel I'm
going to be giving you what most comic fans consider the "true" biography
of Sivana, the pre-CRISIS [CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS] one. It is not
the biography of the Sivana who currently appears in DC Comics. *WHEW!!* That was a doozy! Thanks Thanos6. |

Skelator and Hordak, He-man and She-Ra Skelator was He-Man's nemesis, Hordak was She-Ra's nemesis. He-Man and She-Ra were twins Adam and Aurora, separated at birth when Hordak kidnapped the baby girl and took her to his world to raise her among his putrescence. What are the motives for these two baddies? They're just pure evil, baby. Nothing frillier than that. Perhaps I should have highlighted these fellows separately but I love this little two-shot here. They're so cozy together, aren't they? I have a special place in my heart for these two since I was a huge He-man and She-ra fan back in the day (why didn't they produce Hordak on the same scale as the other She-ra characters?!). Whatever the case, these were two scary mugs. I mean, that dude's a skull! And the other one has no left arm, man! |

Spellbinder,
Batman Beyond So here's the sitch... Spellbinder, in spite of his ultra-cool outward appearance, is really Dr. Ira Billings, high school guidance counselor for Terry McGuinness (the new Batman). He grew tired of advising snot-nosed rich kids who didn't pay him any respect so he started violating their tender little brains and ripping off their parents. He has a glowing eyeball-thingy that projects subconscious images directly into his victims' minds, which sends them into a virtual reality that overrides their perception of the real world. By doing this he can force his victims to do his dirty work and create a distraction for his own getaway. His motives were dumb, he was caught easily, but he's got the costume and the gadgets (yeah, they never explained where this fellow could have gotten his hands on this technology, and if he invented it what's he doing working as a guidence counselor???). He's also got the Massive Oversights (go consult the Encyclopedia of Villainry, kiddies) which are apparent in the fact that he left such an easily traceable trail to his identity and whereabouts. Come on, Billings! Even the schmoes on "Murder in Small Town X" could have tracked you down! Thanks again, Piccologirl! |

Talpa, Ronin Warriors See, there's Evil, and then there's EVIL. Talpa falls into the second category. His is the dark shadow that falls across the earth, and tries to swallow up anything good and full of life. And he wants to possess the powerful armor the Ronins use to fight him. The armor was once one, and it was extremely powerful, thus Talpa wants to control it and use its power. But the armor was split up and bestowed on warriors who used the pieces to fight Talpa and his intentions. Talpa's goals have never changed, he just needs to keep on his toes if he's ever going to destroy the Ronin Warriors and take the armor back. Frankly, if I were him I'd want to squash those little wallpaper-strip-throwing weenies, too. |

Treize Kushranada, Gundam Wing You can get the low-down on this fellow in the first 2 minutes of any of the first dozen episodes. Treize leads Oz, an independent military organization that works to protect the Earth Sphere Alliance. When Oz takes over, that pretty much makes Treize the ruller of the world and associated colonies. Hmm, something about him reminds me of Gendo Ikari that goes beyond the military uniform and gloves. I guess it's that hazy distinction between him and his villain status. Does he deserve it? I didn't think so until just recently. So I'm re-watching an episode of GW and I come to a scene in which a small baby crawls away from its mother towards the end of a pier. Treiz puts his arm out and prevents the mother from saving her child, instead giving the child the opportunity to live or die on its own accord. Metaphors for the show's plot aside, I decided he hits that point of evil that Ikari hits where he sacrifices other people's lives callously and without thought. He believes he is giving humanity the chance to be greater, but the ends do not justify the means. His methods are deplorable, and therefore he is a villain. |

Trevor Goodchild, Aeon Flux Okay, so I have to clarify that in the first season of Aeon Flux, it can be deduced that Trevor is a villain since he is the cause of the epidemic, and his cure ensures his own rise to power. However, in second season Aeon Flux (still talking Liquid Television here) Trevor appeared once or twice either in cahoots with Aeon or as an innocuous side character. But only when Aeon Flux became a speaking cartoon did his evil side truly come out. Megalomaniacal, controlling, self-serving, back-stabbing, all of these characteristic symptoms point to Super Villain-itis. "Man alive, Goodchild. You give me the hinks!" --Aeon Flux, Custodian episode "You are not a Breen." "And you do not exist." |

Venger, Dungeons and Dragons Do you even need me to tell you this fellow is evil? He's like Myotismon's precursor (he's from Digimon for all you old-school hosers) for the whole "winged scary devil type" villain. The premise behind Dungeons and Dragons was only loosely based on the role playing game some of you geeky-freakies enjoy. Basically there is this group of friends who all get on a DND roller coaster ride and are swept away into a magic land where they are told by the Dungeon Master that they must battle evil if they want to find a way home. Total hostage situation, man! Venger's shenanigans comprised the bulk of the evil they had to fight. He's like the Dungeon Master's arch-nemesis (go to the Archetypes section to read up on that nifty concept) and for some reason he uses his all-powerful...uh...powers to try to smoosh these poor kids. Come on, the poor nerdy boy couldn't get a single spell right, it couldn't have been that hard! |

Zim,
Invader Zim
Don't feel bad if you've never heard of this fellow. You see, it's all
part of his plan. Sent to earth by the Almighty Tallest, Zim tries his
hardest to blend in with the pitiful earth creatures around him. He
has horrific cyborgean parental units and a sidekick named Gir (a robot
who disguises himself as a dog) to help him conceal his identity. Remember
our lesson from Pinky and The Brain, just because he's the main character
doesn't mean he's the hero. Watch the show and you'll see evidence of
a diabolical tendency that makes him an Anti-Hero, which is sometimes
as good as full-blown Villanry. Go on, click the pic. You'll probably
never hear me endorse a cartoon as strongly as i do for Invader Zim.

Dr.
Zin, Johnny Quest (original series) In the original
1960's Johnny Quest, Dr. Zinn was a "Red Chinese" robtics expert who's
ultimate goal was the downfall of democracy. He was pretty much a stereotypical,
"yellow peril-type" oriental villain with the addition that he was a
scientific genious on a par with his nemesis Dr. Benton Quest (Jonny's
father). Kid Zed. Wonder if he's related to Kidd Video... maybe his Kidd brother? Ahahahaha!! *ahem* Sorry about that.... |
