Who is the most evil villain in CoX?

Yeah I don't tweet on my own life - I use it to speak to developers/celebrities/friends.

I'm pretty sure that Westin Phipps is actually a real person and HE came up with the whole limited/exclusive Twitter code thing so that he could crush our spirits and leave us downtrodden due to our lack of Kirby spots.

Call me unoriginal, but I also have to vote for Phipps. Although he doesn't actually run around kicking puppies, he sees that it gets done, and he takes such obvious joy in it.
Do entities like Mot or Rularuu even have a conscience or the ability to tell good from evil? Phipps does, which makes him all the worse.
I also agree that many of the Vigilante-to-Villain missions are seriously evil.

I'd say Mother Mayhem. That mission where you experience the memories of that one Seer in First Ward was hard to take. She's totally insane.

I've always thought it was some MA Scrapper.











Oh wait, you said Villain.









Nevermind.

Ms. Liberty. Managing to get a paramilitary force OK'd, deploying it to attack not only the citizens of a foreign country (where she has no authority) but people in her own city (since when is the appropriate response to a baseball bat or dagger a minigun or flamethrower?) and not have anyone bat an eye.

Meh, evil is all about perspective. The truly evil ones are the ones that think they're doing good while they enact genocide and other atrocities upon the globe.

To answer that, you need to say, what is evil.

For example, Tyrant took control after striking a secret deal to save humanity from Hamidon. He has done terrible things (and worse things have been done in his name that he could and should have known about), but if it was the alternative to seeing humanity on his world wiped out, is that evil?

Mother Mayhem has done horrible soul-destroying things - and she's absolutely crazy. Does evil require the ability to tell the difference between good and evil, or by their acts do you know them?

All that said, here's my list of true evil.

Mother Mayhem - perhaps she could be found innocent by reason of insanity, but the evil she has done destroys people at a level that death would indeed be better.

Nemesis - turning a dimension of peaceful beings into rampaging warriors and then trying to completely overwrite their minds has to be an 11 out of 10 on the evil meter.

Malta - There may not be an individual evil Supervillain leader, but in terms of riding roughshod over the rights of others, hard to top Malta. Not even Nemesis has tried to install a kill switch in every sentient being on the planet.

I think we need to look at intent more than measure of success. After all, an individual who wants to kill children by telepathically making their heads explode - but fails, is more evil than the guy who succeeded at robbing a bank.

The various villains have all had their successes and failures... the fact that Nemesis took over America doesn't make him any more or less evil than Darin Wade, who orchestrated the deaths of 3 heroes. It's intent: One wants to rule the world, one wanted to be a god... both want the things they want to make up for their massive inferiority complexes.

In the spirit of the recent announcement, I want to toss my hat in for Captain Mako. He doesn't want to rule, he simply wants to KILL. He wants to FEEL a person struggle while his jaws are locked across their arm. He wants to HEAR them scream. He doesn't care if you're an invincible super hero, man, woman, or child... He's a straight up monster with no morals; the only thing keeping him in check is the knowledge that stepping too far out of line would cost him his own life. He hasn't had any big success... nothing big on his resume. But any other villain can -possibly- be reasoned with to some degree. You can appease to their complexes. Recluse? Nemesis? Tyrant? Bow to them, and they'll let you live. Mako? Bow to him, and all that means is you won't have to see his jaws locking around your throat.
