Malevolent March: Day 13

For the month of March, I'm going to try something new for the blog, so every day I am going to spotlight a different villain from comic books, movies, TV, etc. It's mostly going to be my all-time favorite villains, with some crazy random ones thrown in there for good measure, so check back every day to see the newest villain in Malevolent March!

There are often times when the same villain will show up either in different films (like Hannibal Lecter, Jack the Ripper, etc.) or across different mediums (like vampires who are in books, televison, movies, comic books, etc). But there is one villain who appears in every medium and sooner or later rears it's ugly head to ruin the lives of our protagonists. Who is it? Who could be one of the worst villains in every medium? Who?! I'll tell you who. Hit the jump.

Today, I'm going to shine a light on my favorite villain in the DC Universe. I know that I just did Sinestro recently, and as much as I love Sinestro (which is a lot) today's villain tops him. He's a normal guy who has a high-tech weapon, and a costume that is somehow rediculous and awesome at the same time. He's been a rogue to one of my least favorite DC characters and to one of my absolute most favorite characters ever, and every time he shows up (especially when written by Geoff Johns) than you can bet he's going to do something badass. Today's villain is Captain Cold.

Aside from Stringer Bell, today's villain is quite possibly my favorite from television in recent years. Like some of the best villains (Sylar) this character burned bright but he burned fast, to the point that I worried if he would be able to be sustained as the villain for the show as long as it was on the air. He was, thanks mostly to the terrific performance of Robert Knaepper, who is now trying to single handedly save Heroes, and because, sadly, Prison Break did not last nearly long enough. So here's today's villain from that awesome show: Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell!

If you just started reading comic books in the last year or so, then you would think that the Dark Avenger currently known as Hawkeye was the biggest pushover/punching bag in all of the Marvel Universe. But once, a long time ago it feels like, that man was once the most feared and badass assassain, the right hand man to the Kingpin back when that name actually meant something. Today's villain is one of my all-time favorites, Bullseye!

So first off, I did watch the Oscars on Sunday. I was planning on writing about it, since it is one of the things that I look forward to during the year ever since I was a kid, but this year's Oscars was just... there. It wasn't as terrible as others have been, but it wasn't good or interesting and there were no real surprises especially since it seemed early on that The Hurt Locker was going to walk away with everything. I liked that movie and all, don't get me wrong, but I watched District 9 again last night and I remembered just how amazing the end of that movie is. That was an absolute triumph and I wish that this year wasn't just a 2 picture race since I felt Avatar and The Hurt Locker were 2 of the weakest (with the Blind Side being the weakest) of the 10 films nominated for Best Picture. That's basically all I would've said about the Oscars, but it would have been spread out over pages and pages of nonsense and stupid jokes if I had written a piece on the Oscars.

All that said, here's a hilarious cartoon my friend Bordson showed me at her Oscar party. I guess this comes from some guy was tripping on acid and commentating while his friends channel surfed, so they recorded it and animated what was going on. It's really freaking funny, and NSFW.

Turning my attention back to comic books today, I'm going to be featuring probably my favorite villain in comics right now. He was once not only considered a hero, but one of the greatest heroes in the Universe. Now, his name strikes fear into the hearts of his own people. He started a powerful Corps and named it after himself, in an effort to ensure order and prevent Chaos from spreading throughout the universe. Let's here it for Sinestro!

Today's villain is one of the best villains from one of the best shows in TV history. A cold and calculating man, he went from being a strong right hand man to running the biggest drug trade in Baltimore. Hit the jump for the villain!

With the Academy Awards tonight, I'm going to spotlight the villain who is more than a lock to win Best Supporting Actor, making it the third villain in 3 years (after Anton Chigurh and the Joker) to win that award. Today's villain is the Academy Award nominated performance by Christoph Waltz for Col. Hans Landa. Hit the jump for the villain.
