Greatest villians

[Cius]

So I just watched the last episode of Firefly "Objects in Space" and the the bounty hunter named Early played by Richard Brooks has to be one of the best villains I have ever seen. The character is scary and fascinating all at the same time. His constant use of the line "That seem fair to you" is just brilliant.

That had me think about other brilliant villain roles. Gary Oldman in The Professional sprung to mind as did Heath Ledger as the Joker. What other characters stand out to you guys.

Yep
Keyser Soze

Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.
