In a not-entirely-unrelated moment of inspiration because of bparker805's post, I'll repsond with some good 'ol homestarrunner, that oddly enough ties in with what you're talking about.

Destro was a great supervillian name, but Firefly? That's not very intimidating. When I think of fireflies, I think back to being a little kid, and my friends and I around the fourth of July would collect fireflies in a jar, and the next day they would be dead. That wouldn't instill much fear in a hero.

Keyser Soze would be my choice.

What was Geoffery Rush's name in Mystery Men? That was a good name, but I can't remember it.

Tophat665

Lots of good ones.

There's a great one in <i>The Vanishing Tower</i> but It's a jawbreaker. Voilodion Ghagnasdiak. An there are plenty more in the Elric Books. Arioch, the Knight of Swords, Pyaray, and Theleb K'aarna, to name a couple.

Boris Badenov. He was at the top of my list. (Along with Keyser Soze, who many other folks mentioned.)

A sovreign entity unto himself, the Raven is absolutely one of the coolest villians every, and definitely in the running for badass king of the literary world, but the name isn't particularly cool, at least, compared to the rest of the character, which is exceedingly cool.

Let's not forget:
The Evil Midnight Bomber what Bombs at Midnight!, Proto Clown, Pineapple Pokopo, Octo Paganini and the Forte Brothers, and El Seed!

The Other Tick's name was Barry.

Chairface Chippendale has got to be the best of them, though.

I have to agree with Cruella DeVille. Even though she isn't the greatest villian of all time the name is awesome. Since I was so young when I saw it, it took me a while to actually get the name.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

And the coolest villain name ever is...

kalashnikov

Wow. Most people, when they have some names in their head, they have maybe 3 or 4. Kalnaur has 16 thousand.

But a few opinions: The Green Goblin? No. Any name including the color describing the villian is not very cool, and starting with "the" doesn't help either. That's why Omega Red is passable. If he was "the omega red" or even worse, "the red omega" he would suck.
and Magneto? I am not denying that the charcter is cool; i think he is a damn cool bad-ass. But his name rhymes with "Neat-o!" Well gee-whiz! That's just hunky-dory. Not exactly a name to set fear in his opponents.

If you want cool real life villain names, you have to include Ghenghis Khan.

Turgidson: "Strangelove. What is that, German?
"He changed his name; it was originally Merkwurdigliebe."

Genghis Khan

thanks kalashnikov.

I also really wanted to name the Paladin turned Death Knight from Warcraft 3, but I haven't really played the game accept the demo. I do know he has a cool name, I just can't remember it for the life of me.

And a side note, villians are my favorite characters. Not that you could tell or anything.

George Bush.

That name scares the shit out of me.

Also Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

Seer666

People people people. I am SOOOOO disapointed. With all the great villian names here, how could you for get to of the greatet all time names?

Jack the Ripper, one of the greatest more fear inspireing names ever, and Grendel.The Devil By the Deed. One of the greatest comic book villians ever.
Also, I noticed Nemisis Enforcer was missing fro the G.I. Joe run. While I gave up on G.I. Joe when I notcied they put vertical ejetcor seats on helos when I was 12, that name is just cool.

One more that needs to be on here...

Quick literary history here: Grendel was a bad ass villian for hundreds of years before comics were invented, being the nemesis of Beowulf.

No kidding. I've read Beowulf. Great poem. Doesn't change the fact that the comic book Grendel was a lot better character then the monster from Beowulf. I may be a comic book fanboy, but I do read other things.
