The complete opposite of the other discussion. Which villains are your absolute least favorite? It can be for any reason. Whether they're annoying, incompetent, etc, you name it! Here's my list

Ring-Ring (Pucca)

Nothing new here. As with most TV shows where the main charcter is a teenage girl, there's always your typical "jealous brat" whose main purpose is to make their life miserable and outdo them by any means neccessary. It's been done so many times!:yawn: Ring-Ring is nothing but a stuck up, jealous brat!

Babidi (Dragonball Z)



The most annoying character in the TV show! He’s nothing but a bossy coward and his voice and attitude make me want to rip off my ears! I was glad when Buu got fed up with him and strangled him and punched his head off :)

Gizmo (Teen Titans)

Come on! Do I really have to say anything? His name calling is obnoxious, he talks like Timmy Turner, and he acts like a 5 year old (how old is he anyway?).

Toilenator (Kids Next Door)



Lame is the only word to describe him.

Val-Yor (Teen Titans)

TROQ13.jpg



He’s not really a villain, but he’s not a good guy either. He’s just a racist jerk who dislikes Starfire because she's a Tamaran. He always disrespects her and calls her a TROQ (which means that you're nothing).
 
I don't really have any specifics, but basically any villains that boils down to 'I'm evil because this show needs a villain'.
 
I've yet to find a villain who bothers me such as Mayuri Kurotsuchi. I mean, he's creepy as hell, and his Japanese voice is typical nightmare fuel.

Likewise, anyone remember a man named Yukio Oikawa? Can't stand the guy (he looks way too much like...umm, you all know...for starters), and his tragic backstory is hardly redeeming - I'll always maintain the viewpoint that the series should have ended with Ken.

...and before this turns into a debate about Oikawa, I'm now going to mention another annoying villain:

Gin Ichimaru. O.O

Toad on X-Men: Evo. >.<

Boss Higgis: Yeah, he's bad.

Blob, as portrayed on Evo. XD
 
Boss Higgis (Batman TAS: The Forgotten): Batman has one of the all-time greatest rouge's galleries, one filled with interesting villains. Villains like The Joker, Two-Face, The Riddler, R'as Al Ghul, The Penguin (I have a fondness for the rotund fellow with the trick-umbrellas, ok). However, in The Forgotten, Bats goes up against what must surely be his most formidable nemesis yet. A fat guy who likes to eat alot. Oh, and he says things like "I have to eat, they have to work" while munching on a big sandwich (or something, been awhile since I watched the episode). Boss Higgis, you're the laughingstock of all the other overweight, gluttonous villains in fiction, as well as you should be.
 
Lord Dregg (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 80's-90's series): When it came to replacing Shredder and the rest of the villains this was the best they came up with. An evil alien bug they had comics the mirage and Archie version and the toys they could have taken from and they went with this generic alien. I found him to be boring and none of his minions were very good. I wouldn't have minded the darker turn if they didn't get rid of all the Supporting characters and villains and replace them with these losers.

Shokunabu (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward): Pretty much the same as Lord Dregg just the same boring generic alien villain that we seen a hundred times and every other cartoon. Lets face it you cant replace some as awesome as the Shredder and Bishop with just anything.

Kraven the Hunter (Spectacular Spider-Man): I never liked this character all that much in the comics. The whole jungle man idea always felt lame to me it takes alot for me to get into the idea. This version was alot more like the comics except they trned him into a lamer version of The Puma.

Galvatron (Transformers): I really dont like the idea of turning anther character into anther character. If they wanted to make a new toy all they had to do was give him a new look and powers.
 
My least favorite villans are Babbidi from DBZ, Helempo from One Piece, and Team's Magma and Aqua.
All are stupid, obnoxious, and I am glad when they die/get smacked/fail.
 
Depends what you mean by the criteria.

In the real world, a lot of bad people are just psychopaths, they are bad because they were born without a conscience.

So realistically you can have cartoon villains are evil for no other reason then being born a psychopath.
 
Whoa, my list will have a bunch of sacred cows on it

1. Megatron (Generation One)

Okay, Starscream announces his intentions to overthrow you, so what do you do? Keep him around long enough so he can succeed? No, you do what your Animated counterpart did.

Idiot.

2. Cobra Commander (GI Joe)

You attempted to escape being captured by GI Joe by hiding under a blanket with a lampshade on your head and just walking through them... then you got foiled by a dog.

Moron.

3. Skeletor (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe)

Skeletor: With these two helmets - two - very special helmets!

4. Ganon (The Legend of Zelda cartoon)

He had the habit of giving Link extra powers that made Link kick his ass better... Intangibility for instance... Or the time he turned Link into a frog, which gave Link the ability to jump really high and eat the bug monsters Ganon sent. No real drawbacks there. Or the time he kidnapped the airheaded king, and then didn't leave a ransom note...

5. Dishonest John (Beany and Cecil)

Isn't your name kind of... honest? Work on that one.

6. Every single Captain Planet villain ever

Look, I don't pretend that I never littered. But that was out of laziness, not fun. I mean, what are your motivations? Why do you want to destroy the Earth? You live there, you know. At least Cobra Commander just wants to rule it.

7. Mumm-Ra

Mumm-Ra eventually fell to the point where his grand schemes consisted of... trapping the Thundercats in a pit. Really, that was his entire plan. And he was weakened by his own reflection, though he lost that weakness in the second season. He was also the punk of the Ancient Spirits of Evil. Seriously, what did he want? Did he do anything?

8. John Castaway (Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles)

Let's be clear, I am not knocking his excellent portrayal in the comic books (love comic book Castaway). But the TGC version was such a stupid character with no motivations. An industrialist who hated the gargoyles for no real reason, who was stupid enough to fire anti-aircraft weapons in the middle of Manhattan, and who even admitted that he knew the gargoyles were heroic in the final episode... negating for no reason all his talk about them being monsters.

The worst part, they HAD a built in motivator, Greg Weisman flat out told them he was Jon Canmore under a new alias... the last Hunter. But, the crew of TGC ignored that completely and made him just a flat character with no background.

9. Shredder (1989 TMNT)

He hand picked Bebop and Rocksteady. 'Nuff said!

10. Kingpin (Spider-Man: TAS)

God... they just had to connect him to everything and everyone. Now, I like the Kingpin. But I hated how he was used here. The Sinister... er... Insidious Six worked for him. Doc Ock was his lackey. He was just behind everything! Did you know Kingpin was behind the Secret Wars? The Beyonder was just a fall guy. He's also the guy who shot Uncle Ben before he discovered pancake corndogs!

And when they had a chance to make him a three-dimensional character after his wife left him they... never mentioned it or her again. They really dropped the ball there.
 
I never cared for any villain who is so powerful the heroes require a magical save the day button to take him out in a boring display of DEM rather than an actual battle...unless of course the characters were never intended as action heroes.
 
Firefly from The New Batman Adventures. Not sure why, but this guy didn't work for me.

I also agree that Dreggs was a poor replacement for Shredder.

Turning Baxter Stockman into a fly was also another one of the shows bad choices cause he became annoying and tiresome after that.
 
Only one instantely comes to mind: Naraku (Inuyasha) -- Now, he wouldn't be half as bad if the guy would actual get his own hands dirty from time to time...but no, being the coward that he is, he'd rather sit back & and send someone else to handle Inuyasha & the gang & manipulate from behind the scene. It was cool & mysterious at first, but considering how long this show drags on, that act just gets tiresome.

I'm sure there are more I can think of, but he's the biggest offender.
 
Well the only villains i despise usually fall into one of these categories (my memory being most unworthy shall only allow me a few actual names or strong references as usual which shall be listed below the list of types)

1. Villains who are evil for no reason AND do things in a boring fashion AND are ALWAYS defeated by pathetic actions from the heroes

The problem with these is they serve no higher purpose than the hero. To entertain. How amusing.

2. Villains who are mega strong physically, but always lose anyway

They seem highly unrealistic types and stupid buffoons

3. Villains who are strong physically and are also smart

Just get some robot slaves already and stop acting like a blasted god, see?

4. Villains who are 'cool' and 'hip' and 'with the flow'

Are almost as bad as heroes of that genre. Being cool... what has that got to do with correcting unfairness/being evil?

5. Villains who are Darth Vader/Zuko other part villain types who cross sides, convert to the good side, or are pathetic weaklings who commit evil because they are emotional rather than for honorable reasons

These are most unworthy imo

6. Villains who are mega powerful with lots of weapons but let their emotions control them

Loser villain wannabes

7. Villains who fight other villains

If heroes can get along i don't see why villains can't

Hmm yes and some names and references... er... well the Regurgitator from Phineas and Ferb was a pathetic weakling yes... hmm... and i never much cared for that Monkey Fist... blasted savage uncivilized chap despite his personality being civilized... and i never much cared for that bah i forget... my memory is terrible, see?
 
The main type of villain(s) that I dislike are the ones who don't have a specific purpose for why they chose a life of villainy; the ones who are just for evil for the sake of being evil. "I'm just bad because the show needs to have a bad guy." The only show that I know of in which this type of villain was done intentionally (and who got it right) was The Monarch from The Venture Brothers. The Monarch hates Dr. Venture with the fury of 1000 suns, but no one, including Dr. Venture, has any idea why.
 
For some reason, as a kid, i was more afraid of Higgins than any other Batman villain. I think it was because of his prefered method to kill people: the thought of slowly dying of heat inside an, as he called it, "oven" was something that absolutely terrified me.
 
I forgot about his execution-methods. However, while I agree that they're scary, Higgis is still one of my least favorite villains in animation. A nasty way to kill people is just not enough to make a character interesting.
 
Least Favorite, Hmmm...Where to Start.

I got it.

1.) Rudy's Dad (Chalkzone): This guy gives me the creeps, His voice is a pariody to canadians everwhere.

2.) Reggie & His Dad (Chalkzone): These guy are a pariody to D.K. & Diddy Kong & Reggie Bullnerd is so creepy, he can give you nightmares

3.) Kyle (Squirrel Boy): The most annoying villian in the cartoon network universe

4.) Ranger Stu (Squirrel Boy): Is this guy even man or a Gorilla?

5.) Ernie & Berine (Shark Tale): These guy totally bug me.

6.) Skyes (Shark Tale): He makes every line sound like a bad Impression of a talk show host.

7.) Lok (Tak & The Power of Juju: The TV Series): This guy was oringianlly a good guy, but in the show He went out of character & became a villian.

8.) The King (Igor) Just like Ranger Stu, Is he a man or an Ape?

There are my choices
