Out of all the villains...

[OBJECTION MAN]

I would think from a "I want to hurt people cause I find it fun" perspective, Weil would take the cake.

However, I think Sunstar had the biggest ambition in the series that I can recall. He was the only one who wanted to obliterate the solar system. Not that it would matter much since there isnt much outside of Earth as far as living things, but his scope was indeed bigger...

[Flame]

he doesnt do it for fun. He does it out of revenge. He wants everyone to suffer like he did.

[OBJECTION MAN]

He thoroughly enjoys it though. He is crazy, remember?

[Dr. Wily II]

Well, after being awakened from thousands of years of slumber does that to you.
And enjoy? Confused perhaps.

[Flame]

Well, after being awakened from thousands of years of slumber does that to you.

What?

[Dr. Wily II]

Well...
You know what, it's been too long since I last played World 5.
Then again, I do remember the part of making others suffer, but I took it as a consequence to being awoken by Wily.

[Flame]

Oh, I thought we were still talking about Weil.

[Dr. Wily II]

... Well, let's forget it then.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Oh, I thought we were still talking about Weil.

Ditto.

Great Redips intended to rule the universe.  In terms of both power and ambition, he's pretty much the biggest fish the MegaMan saga has seen.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Ah, that is true. I forgot all about old Redips.

I guess whoever commands the evil energy robots is also high on that list. They're actually doing it. That is, if they're not just an epidemic, and actually organized.

[Flame]

Just once, id like to see where Duo and his purple pal come from.

[CyberXIII]

Well, one day Inafune had a little too much to drink...

[Flame]

Yea-no.
I mean seriously. Im curious.

[ST Jestah]

You're not the only one Flame. I too would like to know where this two bots originated from. A boot to the head to anyone who even dares say 'SPACE'!

[Sub Tank]

Really, all these votes for Weil?  Wanting to blow up everything is not evil, it's just stupid.

Copy X was the most evil villain.  He was basically robot Hitler.  Copy X tried to commit robot genocide, and I swear I read somewhere that Neo Arcadia had concentration camps for Reploids.  Copy X had countless of innocent Reploids executed, all while being hailed as a hero.  Now that's really evil.

[Align]

You're right, killing half the innocent population is worse than killing all of it.

[Hypershell]

It is when you're tricking the other half into doing/condoning it.  Anybody can blow up the world, but it takes one truly evil bastard to turn a peaceful country whose biggest worry is their electric bill into a bunch of prejudiced murderous psychopaths.

and I swear I read somewhere that Neo Arcadia had concentration camps for Reploids.

Wasn't that Z1's next stage after the introduction?  You know, Aztec Falcon on the garbage compressor?

[Align]

I don't think living while tricked by a madman is worse than being dead.

[Flame]

You're not the only one Flame. I too would like to know where this two bots originated from. A boot to the head to anyone who even dares say 'SPACE'!

they DID come from space though. Only they are from some other civilization IN space.

[Hypershell]

I don't think living while tricked by a madman is worse than being dead.

I guess that was a bad choice of words on my part.  Not so much "tricked" as "corrupted".  When you're tricked you're still one of the good guys, you just don't know what you're doing.  When you're corrupted, you're fully aware of what's going on and some twisted sense of logic convinces you that it's okay anyway.

That's the difference.  Copy X attacked the very nature of the people, in the name of peace.  Most evil kind of person there is if you ask me.  Weil just wanted them to suffer; evil yes, but it's the simple, straightforward kind of evil.  Far easier to recognize and eliminate.

[Flame]

So in the grand scale of Villains, CX is really the most subtle one.

[Hypershell]

Subtle is how truly evil people get it done.  That's how you get the good people to do nothing.

[Flame]

Hmm. I suppose. But in terms of general evilness, I place the likes of Sigma way above him. I always consider Copy X a very spoiled and misguided bastard. Like Superman said to his clone in the Doomsday movie

"I am you Superman. A reflection as you might have been.../...if you were STRONG."
"You're self righteous, misguided, my reflection in a CRACKED mirror."

Something like that applies here I do believe. Where the villain IS quite bad, but you can SOMEWHAT sympathize with them, no matter how little.

The people were the ones I meant as being tricked. Copy X doesn't mean to be evil (other than perhaps as in "a necessary evil"), and ultimately wants to preserve the human race, so no matter what the outcome should be better if you give Copy X free reign than ditto for Weil.
"Better" being relative, of course...
