They'd nail children and corpses to the sides of their warforms, broadcast the screams of those captured for interrogation to demoralize Herc pilots in combat.
If that doesn't go for the "omg evil" quotient, the Executioner warform definitely compensates with it's badass factor.

Hmm. Now that's a very difficult question... Kefka is definitely the most powerful, but SHODAN was the first to really, really scare me.
Sephiroth doesn't belong in these listings, as he's more of 'whiny' than 'villain'.
Those suggesting anyone from <b>any</b> Dragonball series need to be slapped around with raw bacon until their mothers come and save them. Hypercephalic Forehead Fighters need not apply for the title 'badass villain' as they'll be laughed out of the office as they deserve, then blackjacked and vivisected by the other applicants.

Majin Boo from Dragonball Z, though in theory he could have destroyed the planet quite easily, he tended to have a lot more fun saying things like "Now you will die!" and "You will not survive this next fight!" and "Unlike every attempt before, this time I will kill you for sure!"
It's the "The bigger the explosion, the less likely it is to kill a hero" rule.

Comes from the 5th dimension and can easily kill superman by re-arranging his molecules. He doesn't, because he's all about doing things for fun, so he enjoys "matching wits" with superman.

Well, I vote for Dr.doom. I think Red Mage and (who was it? Black Mage?) determined that his only possible match could be Batman, if, and only if they were both transported against their will to some unknown planet (or some other event that would never occur).
but, barring that I'd vote for Black Mage... He's not realy a villan but he's SOOO evil...

I'm gonna run with Sauron here. He might just be a big flaming eye, but he's an <i>evil</i> flaming eye. That's enough in my book.
Runner up is the stylish Smith. A nice suit, a wallhack (watch the original if you don't get it), a Desert Eagle and some kung fu sure do kick butt. Oh, and the bullet dodging and inability to actually <i>die</i> probably come in handy, too.
He hid inside the Earth for millions of years, absorbing the energy, waiting to unleash it and destroy the world.
(Although with the concept of omnipotence and the ability to burn the World to ashes, he's beaten to pulp by 3 teens who probably aint allow to see R-rated movies. Imagine that.)

Kefka hade incredible personality, did you even play FF6? And the story was <b>long</b>. No, Kefka did not "restore reality". He ruined the earth and rearranged it like he wanted it to be. Hence why you have to find all your 'friends' all over again.

Just in case. With ratings and everything.

Day of the Tentacle is such a great game...
And yes, the Chryssalids from X-Com scared the ever-loving crap out of me back in the day, and they still do.
Runner up is the stylish Smith. A nice suit, a wallhack (watch the original if you don't get it), a Desert Eagle and some kung fu sure do kick butt. Oh, and the bullet dodging and inability to actually <i>die</i> probably come in handy, too.
