The Joker... Hands down, the best!
Wizard magazine online did a ranking of the 100 best comic villains of all time. Joker was #2 to Magneto. After reading their argument to why, I'd have to agree.

I think this is the article he was referring to...

Yup. That's the one. I read their reasoning for putting Magneto over Joker, and I agree. While the Joker is far more iconic and recognizable to non-comic book fans, whenever he gets out, he causes havok, makes a bunch of bad jokes, gets thrown back in jail and the whole cycle starts all over again. Rarely changes.
Magneto has such a deeper characterization and personal history. He's a criminal, a warmonger, a zealot for mutantkind, a heartbroken husband and father, and Professor X's best friend. As entertaining a villain as the Joker is, Magneto is far more flexible and versatile a character than the Joker could ever be.

HA! Fools! Doom is second to NO ONE!!!
So this thread was just limited to Marvel and DC comics, my bad.
Thanks,

Exactly who I had in mind!
Doom sucks.
Thanos :
Indeed :
I love it! When he's not trying to destroy half of all life in the universe to appease Mistress Death, Thanos still finds time to push kids over, call them names, and take their stuff. I ask you, is Thanos a universal threat of the highest order, or a classic school yard bully??
Hard to say.
In the end , though , I simply dig any cosmic villian piloting a helicopter w/his name emblazoned on it :
