Hmm. Odd. You have several whom are of the "Overlord" class, yet you also have a couple in the "Genocidal One-Man Army" class.
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."I'm leaning towards "Overlord" right now. The Nomads seem pretty Genre Savvy, and they'd know better than to let someone like Kratos anywhere near them.
The fellow who named all those tropes? I am familiar with him, but I haven't watched Gargoyles in about ten years. I doubt I could do him justice.
I did consider him, but I decided I'd rather play someone from another franchise. Besides, he will of course be the Big Bad of the Brutal Legend challenge.
I don't know, a combination of: a villain I like, said villain's compatability with the setting (one of my favourite antagonists of all time is Andrew Ryan, but he really wouldn't work in a game like this) and a characterisation I could successfully write for (some villains are so one-note that they get boring fast, while others are so complex I couldn't play them well). I suppose it doesn't matter right now, as this somethingquel won't be happening for a while.

I'm considering Doctor Horrible, Ysengrin, or The Master as my submission.
Horrible would probably make a great Token Good Teammate.
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.A villain? Since in RL I'm a complete psycho, here comes the crazy. Daleks/Davros, Cyber-controller, Mal Ravanal (another Wesnoth Lich), The Joker, Captain Barbossa, The Emperor, HK-47.

On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.So...Anyone else seeing the logo up top replaced by a picture of some beat up, cross eyed dude, the emoticons replaced with nonsensical images, and the upload avatar space occupied by a rather...constipated Link?
Also, if we did bring in each character's minions, even if it were for a "live fire" style thing, Vile (as Oni Lord said) MUST appear... and then promptly go and do his own thing, since he dislikes following orders. All of them.
And speaking of Vile...
Vile: Don't you ever get tired of this "justice" thing?
Zero: And don't you ever get tired of being Sigma's lapdog?

Oh. It was more of a compliment than anything, since it certainly sounded like something you'd write.
Now I'm not sure which villain I'd want to play, since so many are filling my head - Siarnaq (a Reploid who... broke after being left for dead by his allies during a Maverick attack) could be fun to write dialogue for, but he'd be extremely limited in terms of character development. To wit:
Siarnaq: Target acquired. Initiate information analysis. Commence planned combat procedure? Input response...
Model A: Aw, man, this guy's the weirdest of them all.
Siarnaq: Invalid input. Input response.
Grey: Well, if this is the only way to find out who I really am...
Siarnaq: Response accepted... commencing combat! Megamerge!
-if Grey loses-
Siarnaq: Destruction of biological target confirmed. Commencing plan to take control of Legion headquarters. -laughs- *
-if Grey wins-
Siarnaq: Damage... critical! Hazardous to proceed with combat engagement. In present condition... retreating!
Here's a video of his fight and dialogue:
And here's a link to his Joker laugh

Locking you up on radar since '09I think I'd switch my pick to Azula. She's completely batshit, but in a charming Affably Evil sort of way. And I do like fire.
Easing back into life one step at a timeW Hy do I get the feeling that if there are any female villains in this group they'll spend most of their time rolling their eyes and saying "Ugh... stupid men..."

I'm considering either Kratos, Nightmare, General Zod, Vilgax, Xykon, The Master... but somehow, none of them seem right.
