The 10 Most Evil Villains In Video Games

“Pure evil, with dire intentions even beyond comprehension...”

“The blueprint of what future villains like GLaDOS would become, SHODAN would torture you before you even get to face her in combat. Taunting you over PA systems, cutting off friendly radio transmissions, and watching you from the computer monitors with a cold, and unfeeling stare.

Oh, yeah... And she hates humans... well not necessarily, being a computer program she’s incapable of real emotion, so she doesn’t necessarily HATE humans... it’s just that her infallible internal can’t comprehend how something so pathetic and worthless can exist.

“Evil so yeh he is pretty evil but good in theend which makes him more evil”

“don’t know how he was missed out, was a class act”

“Its a giant alien parasite who invades worlds, destroys them, and creates a new generation to carry on. This is not a villain who just destroys humanity; this is a villain that works over the course of millions of years in order to achieve its goals, and can cause infinite destruction throughout every planet that supports life in the universe. There is no kindness, mercy, or remorse of any kind. There is just destruction.”

“Pretty much any villain whose bread and butter is killing entire civilizations to feed their own appetite is a shoe-in for this list. I’ve racked my brain for ways to best describe this spiny interdimensional butcher, and I’ve finally settled on this metaphor:

The Zerg Overmind with a time machine.”

“A nightmarish Cthulhu-like creature, it’s debatable whether the Elder God is in fact a god, but he’s managed to convince a whole lot of people that he is. Whatever the case, he whets his appetite for evil throughout the series by driving the humans and vampires of Nosgoth to war against each other, parasitically feeding off of Nosgoth’s Wheel of Fate, (A supernatural lifecycle) leads the naive protagonist Raziel on every which way, basically sending him after anything that could possibly be forseen as a threat to him...

Pretty much every event that led up to Nosgoth’s downfall into an apocalyptic wasteland can be traced back to the Elder God.

It’s at this point now that I’d like to submit forth my theory that any villain that’s voiced by Tony Jay is a complete badass.”

“It’s one thing for a person to just want to take over whichever world the video game is set in, (If we were to include every single generic megalomaniacal villain in video gaming on this list, it would stretch for miles. ) but you have to be pretty damn evil to take the pleasant topic of wishes, and want to replace them all with weapons.

There’s no better metaphor for it: It’s akin to setting baskets full of kittens on fire.”

Mr_Vorhias

“Kuwabara, Kuwabara”

“It’s one thing to do a lot of deplorable stuff in life, but apparently that wasn’t enough for Grim Fangando’s antagonist, who was based off of Sydney Greenstreet’s character in Casablanca. During one of the final confrontations with Manny, Hector admits that when he was alive he’d been a "Very bad boy. " Which we can only assume means he killed a crapload of people.

It’s later heard that in the afterlife he’s already managed to "sprout" (The equivalent of shooting someone in Grim Fandango, which causes the already dead residents of the Underworld to literally push up daisies. ) over 500 people. As if it wasn’t enough that his master plan was to steal tickets to heaven from otherwise deserving people and sell them to rich people. (Which he still did, even after learning that the tickets wouldn’t work for the rich people. )

Even after death Hector kept on being an evil evil guy... Geez. Isn’t time for a break or something?”

Mr_Vorhias

“really mean guy!!!”

“Although his only game appearance was a flop, there is no question that this dark being is truly evil. After being freed, he took out his frustrations on Shadow, who later in the game travels back in time to seal Mephiles in the Scepter of Darkness. After teleporting Rouge, Shadow and himself into the dystopian future, Mephiles then tricked Silver and Blaze into thinking that killing Sonic would save their world. Mephiles also planted the seeds of doubt in Omega’s head, reminding the robot that it was he who had captured and imprisoned Shadow in the future. Twice Mephiles tried to coerce Shadow into helping him, but Shadow bluntly refused both times. In the end, Mephiles killed Sonic to make Elise cry, thus releasing Iblis from within the princess so that Mephiles could join with Iblis and once again become Solaris.”

“Scary...”

“This guy is pure evil, He kills thousands and starts a war for no reason other than hate, That and he is tough as well.”

“Should be in Top3”

“Pure Evil With No Remorse”

“master of deception, very pyschologically evil”

“He’s the face on every cover of the Twisted Metal series. He’s a mass murdering clown that puts guys like Joker to shame.”

“He was the hardest dude to beat, it took about 30 hours!”

“This thing is EVIL. It destroyed humanity but kept five alive for more than a hundred years so he could torture them every day.”
