You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
We all have had that one game that stood out in this way. The one enemy that is just so good to defeat. Which ones make the Villains Hall of Fame?

I'm casting a vote for the one and only Handsome Jack, this guy while playing Borderlands 2 made it 10x better. Hearing him on the radio gloating about his new diamond horse named Butt Stallion or any of his jokes made me laugh. He taunts you the whole game and I loved every minute of it. A well written character that is just...awesome. Tales of the Borderlands does Jack even more good graces(especially if you did certain choices in one episode, only people who played it will understand this: Hand, Crouch, Shirtless friend.)

Care to explain?
Main antagonist of KOTOR 2. Can't really explain without giving major spoilers.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Those first Butt Stallion scenes made me cry in laughter.

Mine would be Kuja, elegant and sadistic.

If he counts, since he's pretty much bad by the time you fight him...

Hard to define when usually what makes a villain cool is being morally ambiguous.

Frampt, Kaathe, and Gwynn were an interesting trio. Gwyn was just an old, senile animal by the end that Frampt or Kaathe manipulated you to kill. And although Frampt and Kaathe were in opposition to each other, they both only sought to manipulate you to work against your own interest as an undead, and were only different in name.

And just in general the Dragons of Dark Souls represent the abstract value of death or nonexistence. The Lords upset an order that was stable and free of all the suffering that followed its destruction. In the end all of the Lords' ambitions only resulted in their torturous demise and a broken world. The creation of life only brought about a greater amount of suffering and death.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

And in the Dark Lord ending, both serpents are there.

Tying into their backstory as the Precursors, and Gravemind's poetry . . . just too engrossing of a villainous entity overall.

I get where your going, but I mean individual characters, not a whole group.
Gravemind would be fine, but not the whole Flood.

I don't think you understand the Flood if you think Gravemind and the Flood are such different things. :P

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Ulysses, because of the interesting parallels to the Courier.

Richard Hawk, because he's absolutely batshit.

Skull Face, because his smooth, badass voice makes everything he says sound intimidating.

Alex Mercer, because he wasn't taking Heller's silly, overly-vulgar one-liners seriously.

Captain Walker, because his slow descent into insanity was extremely compelling and horrifically believable.

Undertale spoilers
The Fallen Child, because he/she refuses to let you get away with choosing the evil path even if you go back and do the good path again.

I know what they are, but because it is more than one indivual body I can't say the Flood.

I shouldn't have to explain who this is if you've been around for the last 15 years.

I think it's associated more with the writing in general and the lead writer of Borderlands. The guy is a clown.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the Flood was a single body? After all, it speaks with once voice, just like your own mind does. :P

This guy too, considering he influenced so much in that universe and the ripple effects are still being dealt with some 120 years later.

Not really, you can see how he became Handsome Jack in The Pre-Sequel, it actually shows that he WAS the good guy trying to save people.
And in Borderlands 2, he is the GOOD GUY trying to reform Pandora. However him going insane definitely made it impossible for him to truly be the hero, no matter how much he believes it.
This is how he is well written, and remember.

Spoiler
He is capable of tricking you in the games, look at Sanctuary pre-flight. He killed Roman and took control over Lilith, and did get to and took control of The Warrior. If it wasn't for the player, he would have taken over Pandora easily.
