Every great hero needs a great villain. Sometimes, the villain is mostly harmless, but it's played for comedy, so don't expect Wile E. Coyote here. But these five are supposed to be great threats, able to butt heads with the likes of Palpatine and Ganondorf... yet Wile could outsmart them with ease. Let's start!
5. Supreme Leader Snoke
Ah, Snoke the fake ultimate villain. How intimidating he was in TFA, and has the right to say he gave Rey a beating. But Kylo Ren betrayed him so easily and he killed him in a very anticlimatic way because Rey was more useful to him. What a loser.
4. Titan
The Big Bad from Starfleet Magic. He is a mustache twirler and actually scores some minor victories. Unlike Snoke and the guys below, he actually puts up a fight every time. Still, he always ends up getting blown up when he faces Starfleet, sometimes in humiliating ways. He does adapt, but is kinda slow. He is only lower than Snoke because he never beats the protagonist and even saves his ass for no reason once.
3. Admiral Zhao (bad movie only)
Zhao is strong, but not very skilled. In the cartoon, he kills the Moon Spirit and causes setbacks, but is killed by the enraged Ocean Spirit. Here? He is supposed to still be strong but not infallible, like the cartoon... BUT he gets killed by four redshirts. I think I could beat him with a gun with one bullet.
2. Darth Dumbledore
The Big Bad from Partially Kissed Hero. He is supposed to be extremely powerful, he even has almost won on paper... but in practice? He sucks. He dies in increasingly humiliating ways, like crushed by boulders, shredded by a wood cutter, losing to Barney the Dinosaur... and the worst part? Wile E. Coyote knows he has to catch the Road Runner. The three guys above? They know their enemies and even pose a mild threat to them. Darth Dumb? He thinks the guy who kills him all the time is Colonel Sanders! The protagonists made him fall for the weakest bluff ever, so they can lecture about their intelligence while doing basic shit.
1. Terl
Jonnie didn't beat Harrymort in most vile Stu, but he has an even more pathetic antagonist than Harrymort. Because Darth Dumbledore might not know his real enemy, but he takes measures not to reveal weaknesses and seek knowledge while keeping potential threats, even his actual enemy by coincidence, from accessing it. Terl? Terl is as much of a laughable mustache-twirler as Darth Dumb, but he also can't cast spells, has some humiliating losses, and worst of all, guides Jonnie as how to beat him and his forces and makes him stronger all the time. He is also not a death seeker, but reveals his weaknesses openly and blows the chance to attack enemies who revealed themselves to him ALL THE FUCKING TIME! He is so self-disposing he is to blame for his defeats, not Jonnie. (Also, he teleports into an exploding planet. What a moron.)
5. Supreme Leader Snoke
Ah, Snoke the fake ultimate villain. How intimidating he was in TFA, and has the right to say he gave Rey a beating. But Kylo Ren betrayed him so easily and he killed him in a very anticlimatic way because Rey was more useful to him. What a loser.

Date: 2021-03-06 11:09 pm (UTC)I.e. Brass Bolt from Starfleet is someone I like. From good fics... oooh, I have too many I am interested in with no irony. You will be pleased to hear this includes yours more often than not. (Pity, i.e. is very interesting so far!) Also, remind me, is the Black Mist Queen yours? She is also interesting!
Bluesamurai's Godhunter is also awesome. Belle Amie from Legendbringer is also very interesting and with a sad death. Filevenmileven wrote Padme Solo and Alinah in the Star Wars story The Light and the Dark. Both, especially Alinah, were awesome!
Naz from Awakening5's A New Order (a fic that was taken down sadly) and Alia from bi-writer's There Is No Redemption Here also are great OCs and better Knights of Ren than their canon counterparts.

And yes, the Black Mist is mine.

Thanks for the clarification.
As for my own OCs (and versions of canon characters) I have made lots of lists, but not who is the best (you and others are to decide that, I can see the most popular is Armilla and the one everyone loves to hate is Alastor). Mostly whom they can/can't beat, because I like them competent but with limits. None of my OCs can beat Saitama or lose to Terl.

Date: 2021-03-07 01:36 am (UTC)I'm still boggling at the fact that Hubbard couldn't think of any better way for Jonnie to get the info than to have the bad guy teach him multiple languages and Euclidian geometry when all he actually needed to tell him was "dig here".

Date: 2021-03-30 10:33 am (UTC)I plan to add Jonnie as a villain in my fics. I think he would get destroyed by foes who know what they are doing. Now should I use Stormwolf (for more karma) or the Black Legion (for more cruelty) against them?
