Re: Your ideal fictional antagonist/villain?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-16 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a thing for the charismatic villain with an oddly compelling philosophy that they completely and utterly believe in (Claire Stanfield, Rau le Creuset, Khan Noonien Singh, Edmond Dantes, Captain Nemo, Scorpius, some Devils), but on the other hand I also have a thing for the villains whose backstory seems to consist of them having gone "You know what, screw everybody, I want what I want and I'm gonna get it" (Servalan, Yzma, Scar, Maleficent, other Devils).

If I have to pick my favourite villain of all time, though, it's gonna be Servalan from Blake's 7. She decided she wanted all the power in the galaxy, and no matter what happened to her (several rebellions, coups, assassination attempts, kidnappings, the loss of her clone children, and an interstellar war), she damn well kept on trying until she finished the series as the only character confirmed still standing and climbing right back up the ladder. She lied, murdered, tortured, enslaved and mind-raped people, she ran several versions of a fascist state, she was cheerfully vicious, cruel and evil in every way, but she did it all with style, nerve and wit. She was fabulous. She turned every situation to her favour, no matter how weak she was going into it (she's taken control of being abandoned, chained and weaponless among her enemies). She had a big brutish hireling throw her around and call her beautiful, and after letting him rather pointedly know where the real power was, she invited him to do it again, as she rather enjoyed it.

She's evil. She's really, really, really evil. She's a power-hungry amoral fascistic bitch who has honestly and genuinely commited or ordered someone else to commit every horrific crime in the book. But goddamn she was classy and fabulous doing it. She had all the ruthless nerve in the universe and was not at all shy about using it to achieve her goal, and her goal was nothing less than all the power and control her universe could offer.

I mean, if you're going to be evil and own it completely, you could do worse than to emulate this woman.
