Blast it all. Think of all the greatest cartoon villains who don't qualify  The injustice of it all!!! Somewhere the animated villains are gathered together in a volcanic mountain hideout crying inkwells of tears as they plot their revenge.... I'm a bit frustrated myself at not being able to use The Monarch. Stoopid rules! Cei-U! I summon my own worst enemy! |

I briefly considered picking a Top 12 best dressed villains that originated in Marvel's old Star Wars comic...but I thought that'd be a bit boring. Still, I reckon I could easily do it.  Suffice it to say, at least one of the villains on my list will be a Marvel originated SW villain. |

By that reasoning, the Corleone family were good guys in The Godfather movies. Yup. Protagonist and antagonist don't necessarily mean the hero and villain though. Right, and I think that's Curt's point (though I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong). Is Batman a hero? Depends who's writing him. But he's always the protagonist you are rooting for. Curt did say, however, that a clear villain who is the protagonist in his own series would also count. It's more the gray areas where this is applicable. Just to extend the conversation a bit further, Batman doesn't kill people just because he thinks they are guilty. ( of Course I mean the generally accepted version, not the golden age gun toting one). The Punisher is judge , jury , executioner. And as for protagonist theory, The Joker had his own comic back in the day. I would hardly call him a hero despite the reader seeing things from his prospective. The Corleone family certainly were criminals. No good guys in that movie. |

( of Course I mean the generally accepted version, not the golden age gun toting one). No, but he has been portrayed as, at times, dangerously unstable (especially in the '90s), and a manipulative sociopath with extremely questionable methods and motives (especially in the 2000s). The dude who built Project O.M.A.C. is an anti-hero at best. Right, but Kurt did say a clear villain with his/her own title still counts for this event. He doesn't become a good guy just because he has his own series. |

So far 23 choices and about 3 or 4 of them will surprise the crowd.  |

Dear Everyone - Please be careful when I get the artist name incorrect because it's one area that I get confused on. Be tactful and kindly correct my flaws. Thanks!

I'm having a bit of a difficult time, a lot of my favorite best dressed villains seem to originate in cartoons versus comics or strips. For instance, I love TrapJaw from He-Man...but he was an action figure before appearing in a comic book.  Not complaining mind you, the challenge makes it fun after all; I'm just sayin, "What could have been." |

If there are enough changes, as there were with the Micronauts characters, I'd allow it. Cei-U! I summon the reasonability! |

The Alfredo Alcala designs from the comics were often quite different from their Filmation and Mattel counterparts. |
