Favorite Sci-Fi or Fantasy Villain?

"Great?" The best imo. He was following such greats as Ceasar Romero. No seriously, he followed Jack Nicholson and not only did he outdo Jack, he made the part his own. Too bad he won't be able to reprise the part.

For those who don't know who Callisto is....here she is in all her badness!

That was Jack of all Trades. Linked to Xena and Cleopatra 2020. A damn good show that didn't get the legs it deserved. I love Bruce's work. He's funny, even in the bit parts, like he plays in Spiderman.

Nope. As Ash said, "Good? Bad? I'm the one with the shotgun." Army of Darkness is awesome.

my buddies always pick on me about sabertooth from wolverine..cause of that one line where logan pops his claws and creed looks at 'em and all he says is "oo...shiny"...seems i do that with out noticing i've done it

Good call, man.

Speaking of Simmons, his latest work Drood, might appeal to the ATS crowd. For why? Hints at an embryonic NWO with roots in Egyptian mystery cults for one. And one hell of a villain (is it the narrator or his object of fear, who can say, mua-ha!) for another.

With Drood, Dan Simmons attempts to tell the story of the end of Charles Dickens' life from the perspective of his society friend and secret rival, Wilkie Collins, author of bestselling works The Moonstone and The Woman in White. He also peals back the layers of Collins' and Dickens' potentially diabolical, creative minds and what could have inspired Dickens to write his last, unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

In the last years of his life, Dickens experienced a traumatic event. One of his life's sins (and the one the envious and even more flawed Collins continues to point out) is how he banished his wife and mother of ten children to carouse with a teenage actress in his latter years and how this choice changed his life forever. On a railway ride with this mistress and her mother, the train goes off the rails, causing the wreckage and carnage of every passenger cart except Dickens'.

As he tries to help the wounded and dying, he encounters a dark figure named Drood who will soon take Dickens and Collins into London's underworld, filled with opium dens and occult-influenced murderers. Collins' narration is wickedly insightful as his jealousy warps how he and the reader listens to and watches Dickens' delving into desire and death.

Thanks for the tip brother. I've been wanting to delve into another Simmons work. He mist have a "beautiful mind" (like the movie of the same name) to be able to span across nearly every major genre, winning awards in many of them. It's just, after the Cantos, I only wanted more of that, and plus I couldn't decide... There was a short story extension to the series, I'm sure you know... Anyway, I know now what book ill read next. Thanks pal!

Gulliver Foyle of Alfred Bester's The Stars my Destination. He goes from ignorant ship's mechanic to savior of humanity, fueled the whole way by a raging need for revenge. Messianic revenge stories are hard to come by.
