    Villain fan club!

    So, does anyone ever find his/her self loving a book villain?

    I drive people insane with fangirlism Specially with Lex Luthor who's.......AWESOME!!! Or Orichimaru. Or Voldi. or Kira

    Who's your favorite villain and why? You can post more than one! And no heroes please.

    Yes, it's quite normal for me. Sometimes the villains are more complex than the other characters (I think it is usually in the worse novels ) or there are just more fascinating I am not sure.

    I am not sure I agree about Kira, personally I prefer L, but out of the comparison with L, I like Kira too

    Rudi Von Sternberg is excellent. I sometimes think of having bumper stickers printed saying: "What would Rudi von Sternberh Think?"

    I love them both, but L acts more like me.

    That's cool. I just think that Kira's movements are amazing, but to be able to predict them is just ... wow!!!

    A certain affection for Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu (though HE doesn't see himself as a villain)

    and in comic book land--the one and only Doctor Doom (from Fantastic Four comics primarily though he pops up everywhere sooner or later especially if a title needs a sales increase. Doom doesn't see himself as a villain either.

    Who doesn't love dr.Doom? He's awesome! I like him more than mr.fantastic, (he's kind of annoying.)

    Oh, I agree! I am quite partial to The Riddler, too, though. I tend to go after DC villains more than Marvel.

    As for a book, there is this novel by Louisa May Alcott called A Long Fatal Love Chase. Basically, the story is about this woman who is stalked by an ex (I thought the storyline seemed quite interesting, as LMA had written it). His name is Philip Tempest. He makes the entire story for me. He is cunning, clever, sneaky and creepy. I actually found myself pulling for him! I love him! He has to be one of the most entertaining characters to come out of literature.

    Cuteness! I love Ron more than Harry *Bakiryu gets killed by HP fanclub* and Bellatrix Lextrange too, even if she did kill Sirius and of course, Voldy.

    Hannibal Lector
    Cersei Lannister from "A Song of Ice and Fire". Incest, manipulation, cruelty, beauty. However, she is not so intelligent as, say Tyrion, who plays the game better than she, so she is a bit pathetic. Varys and Littlefinger are doubtless the coolest, although I would name neither of them villains per se. They are just... wonderfully pragmatic. Euron Crows Eye is impressive too, and has definitely villanous qualities, as does Melisandre, the red priestess.
    Oh, and Linear Guild from the Order of the Stick. And Miko Miyazaki who, in my opinion, is psychologically a very interesting antagonist. A fallen self-righteous paladin with a holier-than-thou mentality, believing all her deeds she does in the name of justice (or so she believes) are fair and just although some are just vile.
    Nurse Ratched.
    Grey Dog from Kivirähks "Butterfly" A negative personification of death, death that takes away all that is beautiful and fragile and hates the theater about which the novel talks about since it mocks death, people die on stage and yet when the curtains fall, they come out and bow, Napoleon is dead for over a century and yet he walks on the stage, there are things like love, happiness, bravery and honour on the stage but where are those in life? Oh, the theater lies, and that is why the grey dog hates it.
    Lilith Weatherwax from "Witches Abroad" Sacrificing people to stories.
    We could go on with this list for ever.
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    Yes, I like Bellatrix too and everybody says that it is awful, because she have killed Sirius, but what could I do, she is determined, strong personality etc, seems like a character i would like in any book.
