Who is the coolest female villain ever imagined?
Ursa - from Superman II gets my vote.

It's a defining moment when she terrifies the astronaut, gets him to run, flies over beyond him, rips his spacesuit, and gives him a strong kick in the 'nads, which sends him floating up into space.

Now that's one tough mutha. :thumbsup: :evilgrin:





I always had a soft spot for villains, though some men might have a hard spot... Anyway, my spot was so soft that I even hoped the Legion of Doom would finally get rid of those blasted SuperFriends as kid because the SuperFriends were utterly DORKY.

Anyway, here's more fluff on Superman II: http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/sarahdouglasp2/supermanII.html

6. They weren't invented...
They were born and raised to be such garbage.

7. And I also just realized you said "coolest", not "most evil"
Sorry for the confusion. :P

15. No problem! :D
:D

I should have said "Fictional" as well... as far as humans go, Thatcher and Bush are high ranking on the list of evil people.

19. Here's a great website about Eartha as Catwoman...
http://www.geocities.com/~1966/cat2.htm

Eartha is THE best Catwoman, no contest! (Julie Newmar is passable, but Eartha made the role her own...)

I didn't know she was blacklisted because she spoke her mind, which is her God-given right as part of the Constitution.

I hope Batman gets release on DVD, I loved season 3 and Eartha as Catwoman is definitely a highlight...

I wonder how Halle Berry will compare. (the outfit is too risque but still seems Catwomanish, I can only hope that the new Catwoman isn't vulgarly sexual as so many movie characters are these days...)

5. Definitely Ursa!
Edited on Tue Jul-06-04 07:51 PM by BattyDem

I also think General Zod is the best comic book movie villain ever! Come on ... admit it ... didn't you just love it when Zod kicked Superman's ass in the streets of NY? :evilgrin:

By the way, did you know that Zod was President? ;-)
The White House - General Zod's Homepage

Read Zod's Constitution. It's funny ... but it's also sad because if you replace "Zod" with "Bush" it's pretty much what we have now. :-(

12. Zod was rather cool, I'll agree... So is Magneto.
Other villains have come and gone. Indeed, I love Magneto, but Zod wanted to rule and dominate, though wouldn't that get boring in the end. Magneto just wanted to destroy those who oppress him and his kind, but what good does that do in the end? Magneto ergo Zod.

I'm quite torn between the two.

24. Mmm, Joan Jett
Definitely yummy.. another I had quite pleasant thoughts of in my youth (which, admittedly, was still about 5 or 6 years after she was considered 'relevant')

23. Ursa is definitely hot and a delicious villianess..
However, I have to admit (blush) - I fell hard for an animated character, The Baroness, from GI Joe.

Oh yeah, Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman was quite nice, too.

(Yeah, ok, I go for the strong chicks in leather / latex with nice weapons.. sue me :) )

29. Aah, that brings up another one..
Aurra Sing! Pretty wild for a villianess who didn't even have a speaking role :)

And what the hell - let's throw in Mystique, too.

28. LIVIA!!!!!!!!!!!
The most evil character in television history, bar none. Of course, "I, Claudius" is the greatest thing to ever grace the medium.

33. Back when she was still evil, Emma Frost from the X-Men was cool
Does Dark Phoenix count?

Talia Winters (B5) is in the running too.

36. The woman from "Return To Oz"
Edited on Tue Jul-06-04 10:11 PM by asianjoanne
I don't remember her name, but anyone who has seen the movie sequel to "The Wizard Of Oz" called "Return To Oz" may know her name. She's the evil with-like woman with the hallway of interchangeable heads.
