I, for one, want a large gun that pops out a "Bang" flag.

I want a big gun that shoots a giant boxing glove on a spring!
just watch all 3 seasons of family guy and you get all the emotes in the world right from stewie
I'd like to see a drink emote, where the villain downs a martini from a standard triangular martini glass and then either tosses the glass over his/her shoulder or smashes it to the ground. (complete with glass smashing sound)
How about a smoke emote where the villain smokes a cigarette and then, for a male villain, flicks it to the ground. For a woman, she would smoke, drop it on the ground, and then crush it with the toe of her boot.
a golf emote where the villain pulls out a putter and practices his putting.
a break emote where the character puts both fists together infront of him and then makes a 'twig snapping' motion.
Since a hero can burp, I think a villain should pass gas 
(sorry.. I couldn't resist that one...)
You don't hit smiling monsters - Sister Flame
"Dragons is sooo stupid !": Yosemite Sam
I'll tell you what i want (and if it's already be mentioned i'm sorry).
But, an emote where a little kid with a baloon spawns near you, and your villian walks up and pops the ballon. Then the kid starts crying.
That is exactly the evilness i want my villian to show.
Others : villian grabs random npc and gives noughies (sp)
Minion starts laffing then villian punches him in the arm and gives him a mean look
Villian snatches candy from a little kid.
Dragging your thumb or finger across your throat "This ends now"
a flustered pointing "Curse You Hero!"
waving the fist at them would work too
How bout some Welcome to my Lair / Trap Emote. Hands palms up spread out from the body in a grand welcoming gesture. As well as a evil grin on the face!
Fist shakes in the air while the phrase "Damn you Salazar!!" pops up.
If I high level hero challanges me to a fight, I want to stop for a sec, look at my watch, and then shrug my shoulders. Sorry, gotta go! Dentist appointment! Just the watch and the shrug would be the emote...if that wasn't clear.
Villain runs to the top of a small hill (that nobody noticed was there before), points dramatically at heroes and exhorts minions:
"After them you fools!!!"
Snakes in a can?
Counterparts to hero stuff... dice should definitely be craps. Perhaps some poker or blackjack variations. Villains should gamble. Gambling is evil. 
Been some great ideas so far. Like the pacing, hand wringing, hiding behind cape, female hair toss, and beard stroking classics.
Really like the death animation choice idea. That should just be part of the villain though. 10 or so different choices would be plenty. But villains always have the most dramatic deaths.
What about an emote for using one of those hilarious, cartoony dynamite plungers? Y'know, the big red ones...
I need something to trigger my doomsday device.
Here's my list of desired emotes. Some are ideas already presented here, and some are my own:
/em knuckles (crack knuckles)
/em neck (crack neck from side to side)
/em glare (some sort of eye flash)
/em cackle (an EVIL laugh)
/em kickcorpse (add insult to injury when you take a hero down)
/em combatpose1 (martial arts stance)
/em combatpose2 (martial arts pose with the "Neo" taunt that waves the opponent to come closer)
/em neckslash (draws finger left to right across throat, maybe even says "You're dead meat.")
/em lineinsand (draws a line in ground with toe, daring heroes to cross it)
/em thememusic (a villain's got to have creepy entrance music!)
/em impressed (a "golf-type" clap followed with nodding and perhaps a "Good. Very good...")
/em pace (walking back and forth, arms behind back)
/em break (moves hands together as if grasping something and breaking it)
/em dismiss (waves a minion to begone)

ROFLMFAO
I want this one too!

There's nothing that shows a villain's confidence like an uneccessary, superficial, contemptous display of their powers. The difficulty of implementing this is that you'd have to have a different emote for every power.

Definitly! You got to have the initial Introduction of The Villaneous Character while Exchanging Verbal Barbs with the Hero before battle breaks out!
I think you could do a few small groups of emotes, though, fitting various types of villains:
The Confident Mastermind (Bond villain example: Blofield):
Stroking Chin, Petting Cat, etc... idle, small hand gestures.
The Strong Villain (Bond villain: Jaws):
Tearing a (randomly appearing) item apart, bodybuilder poses.
The Agile Villain (Bond villain: Bambi and Thumper duo)
Athletics: Backflips, cartwheels, etc.
(And I sure hope the CoV emotes makes it back over to CoH too! )
For the looney villains-
confetti- the villain dances a jig and throws confetti while laughing maniacally
money- as above but money instead (might make the civilian NPCs nearby flock to the money)
airplane- the villain runs around in a tight circle with his arms stretched wide like airplane wings
russiandance- the classic russian crouched kick dance
dynamite - the only thing that beats rock, paper and scissors!
For the truly villainous-
plantbomb- plants one of those bomb-looking clickys. If nobody clicks it, it could blow up,(no damage of course) leaving an ugly scortch mark on the terrain that fades slowly with time.
plantbarrel- same as above, but one of the larger barrel shaped firebombs
HOw about one for jumping up and down in rage?
And as long as we're looking for studious villains, one where your hands are behind your back and you pace back and forth like you're lecturing.
Instead of reading a newspaper the villian should be pouring over a table containing a blueprint describing his evil plan
The villian looks both ways quickly then points at own chest and looks all innocent (the 'Who, me?' gag)
There should be a Vaana White-esque standing sidewise arm waving diplay as the villian unviels some horror or device or hostage or hero's corpse etc.
How bout a 'Home Alone' two hands to face scream (as master plot unravels)
Points finger and says "You can't hurt me!" then perhaps even followed by a laugh.
i would a emote thet he likes jumps in anger on his place (like usualy evil villans do when the hero ruins there plain)
or like a game emote thet he like puts a gun to his head and cheak if it shots, sometimes it does, soemtimes it doesnt :P
Arm out index finger does a "come here" type motion.
Point and laugh, point in front of you and other hand covers chest while villian chuckles.
Thumbs Down
Kick em while they're down.
Throat slit motion across the neck.
Back breaking. Point and then hands make a breaking type motion.
or punch a baby?
(yeah that baby was being kind of a %^&*)
How about a Crotch Thrust or a 'Smack that [censored]'
Serious:
- A slightly bent-kneed, slightly hunched-over pose, one arm akimbo and slightly back, other arm extended, palm facing up, fingers slowly crushing into a fist
- Fist pounding into palm - either emphasizing a point or 'drats foiled again'
Silly:
- The classic "i'm crushing your head" pose
- The "i'm not touching you, i'm not touching you" pose
- A talk to the hand pose (c'mon it would be hillarious!)
Arms folded one hand on the chin in contemplation(deciding the fate of the captured heroe so to speak)
Thumbs down signal
Slit throat gesture
Maniac style rubbing of hands in evil anticipation
Maniac cackles of evil laughter (perhaps hands on hips and leaning back head thrown to the air).
Fit of rage
