Top 10 Video Game Villains
8) Psycho Mantis
Psycho Mantis is definitely one of the most memorable bosses from Metal Gear Solid. Everything about him from the way he talked through the mask to the way you actually had to fight him left an impression on anybody who played that game.
Psycho Mantis couldn't be defeated by just any old means. He could read your mind! He demonstrated his psychic abilities to the player by bringing up other games that they had played and saved on the current memory card and his telekinetic powers by rumbling the controller in their hands. If Psycho Mantis could read the input from your controller, what hope did you have to beat him? A quick codec call to Colonel Campbell helped find his weakness – plugging your controller into the second port on the console. This prevented Psycho Mantis from reading your next move and allowed you to fight him normally.
This unique method of combat makes Psycho Mantis one of the coolest bad guys in all of the Metal Gear series.
Love the list and yay for adding Lloyd. Not many people think of The Legend of Dragoon or its characters when creating video game lists.
How about the Nemesis!! Should be in the top three!
Cool list, i remember freaking out when i fought psycho mantis. very memorable
Yuri from Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
[color=red][/color] lolol
where is SHODAN?. It's the best villian of video games, that I can think of...
kane is my favriote villian of all the villians i know of because i have command & conquer 3 tibiueriem wars and o my gosh kane is the best
weres vaas from far cry
Yeah this is a pretty bad list. And having bowser at the bottom? Really?
No mention of Jon Irenicus from Baldur's gate 2?
Massively powerful, utterly contemptuous of anyone lesser than him, could wax philosophical on the nature of power and mortality. And lots of really great quotes:

Surprised there were no DBZ villains
Bad list is bad.
2 metal gear bosses btw. If your gonna make a rule not to include 2 bosses from a franchise you should stick to it.
Kane is not an villian, he's an fictional character.
I've never heard of lavos or kane or the first villian (i can't remember his name), but i agree for all the others, they're all pure evil. Except Bowser; he's just plain greedy, but yes, very persistant.
I would include GLADOS from portal. Her sharp wit and determination puts most male and human villians to shame.
I can really only agree with Sepiroth and Ganon. The others, while some maybe be pretty bad, that's all they are. Bad. Nothing that will leave a mark or be remembered extensively...
Here are few few candidates that could replace some on the list:
-Shao Khan
-M. Bison
-Sagat
-Andross
-Heihachi Mishima
-Brian Fury
-Magneto
-The Black Queen (Battletoads)
There are many more.
Psycho Mantis, command and conquer
Oh the Ps1 memories
Very good list!
