Best comic-book villains

Lex Luthor (Superman/DC)
Supermans tricked out with some of the best powers available, but his archenemy, Lex Luthor, is limited to the human skill set. Luckily for Luthor, being wicked smart and ridiculously wealthy makes that limitation easy to work around. Hes a sociopathic corporate giant with a hankering for world domination, not to mention a penchant for bloody vengeance. But he must have the best PR people in the business, because despite all of that, Luthor won the election in 2000 and served as President of the United States. His term ran short due to his other favorite pastime: trying to kill Superman. He never gets enough of that one.
The Joker (Batman/DC)
Whos crazier than the Joker? Batman, since he never bothers to finish off the rampaging psychotic when he has the chance. Sure, the caped crusader has that noble no-kill policy, but how many people have to die at the hands of the Joker just so Batty can live with himself? And the Clown Prince of Crime doesnt just kill them in the old humdrum ways; he uses prop comedy! Unwitting victims might get joy-buzzered to death or take a cyanide cream pie to the face. Catch him on a bad day and hes even worse. When the Joker possessed Mister Mxyzptlks powers, he spent his time terrorizing and killing Batman, then bringing him back to life and starting over again. And the less said about the horror he visited on Commissioner Gordon and his daughter the better. Really.
Ozymandias (Watchmen/DC)
Some would say that Ozymandias is no more a supervillain than he is a superhero, and that Alan Moores Watchmen flies in the face of such moral absolutes. Well, nuts to them! Ozymandias is the most dangerous sort of villain. Hes not a sociopath or a madman; the only thing driving his actions is his firm belief that he is right. Murder means nothing to the man who thinks his actions will bring forth utopia; the end will always justify the means. Along with his massive intellect comes his equally enormous ego, and a conviction that the simpletons of the world couldnt possibly come together without the illusion of a common enemy devised by him. In the name of righteousness, he slaughtered millions. So what if he happened to save the world at the end of the day? Hes still a very bad man.
Dark Phoenix (X-Men/Marvel)
Exposure to solar flare radiation caused X-Men hero Jean Grey to reform as Phoenix, a being with godlike powers. But after Masterminds mind games, she became the cosmic badass known as Dark Phoenix. Greys pitiless incarnation embodied chaos, and kill-for-kill no other force comes close. She chomped on stars to satisfy her appetite for energy, killing billions when one nosh went nova. Turning the destruction inward, she took herself out after the X-Men pounded some humanity back into her. It was one glorious cycle of tragic evil until history got a rewrite, wherein Jeans role was substituted for that of a clone. For the sake of villain appreciation, its best to just ignore the ill-conceived retcon and stick with the original story.
The Red Skull (Captain America/Marvel)
Sometimes its nice to have a simple baddie, a guy whose motives are clear. You know, someone you can really feel free to hate without any fear of a future redemption arc. For that, theres no one better than crimson-headed Nazi, Johann Schmidt, aka the Red Skull. Just ask Captain America (if he wasnt totally dead) and hed tell you, Hitlers hand-trained bellhop along with his Dust of Death is reliable. No matter whats going on in the real world, the Red Skulls always working on the Fourth Reich and turning folks into skull-heads. Even other villains are skeeved out by him. The general consensus in the criminal underworld seems to be, Uh, were bad guys and all, but, dude, youre a freaking Nazi!

Hm, I was torn between the Joker and Dark Phoenix. But ultimately, I vote for Kenneth Irons from Witchblade.

 i was torn between The Joker and Dark Phoenix too! My loyality is with the X-Men but I think they have better villians than Dark Phoenix. That was kinda a long drawn out story. So I voted for Joker.

Of the list I'd have to say The Joker, but it is an oversight to ignore Dr. Doom and Venom!
