#1 Greatest Villain of All-Time

[Mister Ed]

the kids he killed in Ep. III, at the Jedi Temple (GOD , AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT LOOKS AT MOVIES, TV, AND OTHER COMICS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GL)

So what you really mean then is "younglings", not "younglens"?

Sinestro, Nero, and Black Adam is my picks.

Nero to me doesn't have enough wins and street cred for that claim. Maybe in a few years?

Black Adam is scary with all that power and Conan style ethics...

Sinestro, Nero, and Black Adam is my picks.

Comics used to be AFFORDABLE!? GET OUT!!

and in case you were wondering about my obscure 1970s Avengers reference:

I hear you on not being able to afford back issues!

I remember when I was a teen and comics were affordable? (that was a long time ago). You would go in...get your regulars...and browse the back issues. It was like "hey...these 1970s Avengers look interesting, and there's Frankestein teamed up with Baron Zemo!" Outide of the "hot" titles, those oldies were...get this...AFFORDABLE!

Or when you found some good Silver Age stuff and it was not mint...you could get it fairly cheap. Or you saw all the silver age stuff on a wall...and if you wanted to plop down extra you got the good stuff.

Mu local comic store doesn't even carry much back issues. The one in the next big town has SOME...but not much.

So sorry if it it sounded harsh earlier. That story I mentioned hasnt even been reprinted.

If you want a good 1980s GL tale try this min series as it is one of my fav. Hal stories:

[Fearless]

Hmm, well, I don't buy back issues. I'm pushing it buying my regulars as it is, at least in my parent's eyes. Anyway, I actually have read a lot of Sinestro, but I haven't read that issue. Mostly beacuse I never even knew it existed. But, I'll go buy it, look it over, and get back to ya. But, until then, I guess I shall concede to you.

Uhh... I WASN'T ALIVE IN THE 80'S! GOD, how the hell am I supposed to know that?

You stated with much certainty
"OK, first off, Sinestro doesn't beg to ANYBODY. No matter who it is, he doesn't beg. He just doesn't."

Whatever your age, I assumed you knew a lot about Sinestro from such a statement. The issue he was executed for his crimes and begged a lot (which proved your statement wrong) was a major turning point for Sinestro, had serious reprocussions on the GLC, and took Sinestro out of the game form many years.

With back issues and comic stores, it's very possible you could have read the story...it's not like this thing costs as much as Fantastic Four #1! (oh yeah...and I've read Silver Age Hal stories that were published when I wasn't alive...and I also wasn't alive in Shakespear's time and read some of those plays

Still...the point you made I countered with a good example. Since you were debating my position, I thought you would appreciate knowing that fact.

So...what do you think now that we established Sinestro has and will beg when defeated? Doom will not hold a trial as Hal did

[Fearless]

I thought we were talking one on one.
Even still...Doom has tons of Doombots...and those other armoured sentries at his disposal. He has a castle of tech and magic to boot.

One on one, I'd give it to Doom. Yeah, with his army, SInestro stands a chance.

And Sinestro doesn't beg? Not true.
I guess you forgot about when he was executed in the last issue of the 1980s Green Lantern Corps Series. Right before execution, Sinestro pleaded and begged like a little b*$%.

Doom would never have done that.

Uhh... I WASN'T ALIVE IN THE 80'S! GOD, how the hell am I supposed to know that?

OK, first off, Sinestro doesn't beg to ANYBODY. No matter who it is, he doesn't beg. He just doesn't. Second, his ring could slice Doom's armor in half with a thought. I mean, Sinestro has an ARMY at his disposal, and all Doom has is Julian McMahon.
My point, proven.

If I could go back in time I'd have a hard time choosing between kicking him or Hitler in the womb. I mean, if I had to choose between them that is. (I'd go for a three way tie: Himmler, Hitler, and Stalin FTL.)

DUDE!? I understand that all 3 of those guys are evil bastards, but still...

Favorite comic book villain (DC): Riddler. He's suave, smart, and knows how to manipulate even the Batman.

Favorite comic book villain (Marvel): Dr. Doom. He's a genius at almost everything, and he controls the smallest nation in the Marvel universe and still manages to kick ass. That and I've genuinely loved everything he's been in.

Favorite (actually most despised) real world villain: Himmler. If I could go back in time I'd have a hard time choosing between kicking him or Hitler in the womb. I mean, if I had to choose between them that is. (I'd go for a three way tie: Himmler, Hitler, and Stalin FTL.)

Goldfinger's the SHIT

[Limelantern]

I think my general dislike of anything 4th world keeps me from saying Darkseid. And only recently has Sinestro been anything more than the mustache twirling villain. But I really do think Doom probably could take Sinestro with some type of power leeching tech (if he dosen't already have that built into his armor standard) If you asked me in the 90' I would have said Apocalypse, but now...........no....not at all..
I think I'll vote for Doom anyway, when written well he is the most likely to succeed. And I like an intelligent as well as powerful bad guy, just makes them seem more threatening. There was a one shot a few years ago where Doom conquered the earth and actually did make it a better place to live, as long as everyone worshipped Doom.

My serious pick would be Darkseid This guy is major bad a$$ he has a ophanage to corrupt youth, he made Grandmas scary, Hes got the uglest kids I've everseen, His side kick is a demented tourturer, yeah so he has been beat a few times, who hasn't, Supes has died, The bat a broken back, but each time they come back better, including are glorous villian here.
