There are a lot of evil forces in comics right now and from times past, but which villain is your absolute favorite? Why?

Of Batman's foes I like Two-Face best, for the black-white dichotomy with which he relates to everything.
The Flashes have the greatest number of villains I enjoy: Icicle for his M.O., and because I think he is more evil and cooler-looking than Captain Cold; Mirror Master, for another wonderfully imaginitive M.O.; and Gorilla Grodd, because I personally think he's somehow one of the greatest villains of all; lacking only the raw power, I think he could give Darkseid a run for his money.
And Hawkman's enemy Byth. Maybe because he's the first enemy I saw Hawkman fight, I don't know. But there's something that resonates deeply for me whenever he shows up.

Batroc The Leaper because I know I'm going to get a done in one old fashioned old school comic book fight and not some confusing multi-part epic.

As an old-time FF-head, I gotta' go with Dr. Doom. The fact that he runs an entire country, the science, the magic, the drive, the megalomania, the armor...it all just works for me.
Favorite DC would be Joker or Ras...especially drawn by Neal Adams.

Baron Zemo. Don't really know why. I guess he just has a real "pulp" villain quality or something.

...because he's such a whiney loser...just kidding...he's just plain evil and his only reason for being that is because he wants things the way he wants it, because he's bitter...it's so simplistic, that I love it. I also have to say The Anti-Monitor is my all time favorite villain.

Doctor Doom at Marvel, partly because he's willing and able to do anything to further his own cause, while his psychosis convinces him it may be for the benefit of others. Stan Lee created a politician! At DC, The Joker is simply the scariest of all their characters, scarier even than Batman!

Light Yagami from "Death Note." He may be the protagonist but there's no way you could call him a hero. He's a genuine sociopath and is so smart it's creepy. And the fact that he thinks he's doing good for the world makes him all the more chilling.

Agreed. 100%

I think the two best "Rogues Galleries" ever created belong to the Silver Age Flash (Weather Wizard, Top, Mirror Master, etc), and Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon (Double-Header, Mother Mayhem, BrainiApe, Mr. Glum, and even fan creation Jimbo Da Mighty Lobster.
