1. Tom from 'Tom and Jerry.' I’ve always rooted for him. -u/deaf_phrog
2. Yzma. For one, she’s just so crazy that it’s hard to be afraid of her and you end up just liking her. She and Kronk have such great chemistry too. -u/everythinglatte
3. Hank Scorpio. “On your way out, if you wanna kill somebody, it would help me a lot.” -u/acehigh21
4. Glados. She is just so crazy and hilarious you forget she enjoys gassing innocents. -u/HenryFrenchFries
5. Magneto. Was he wrong, in knowing that humans hate and would inevitably attack mutants? According to 'Days of Future Past', no. Humans have proven that you don't have to be non-human for people to turn on you and kill you. -u/shygirl1995_
6. 'The Lego Batman Movie' Lego Joker. -u/irobot_67
7. Mr. Freeze. Especially in BTAS and the Arkham games. Dude just wants his wife to live a long life. -u/Aniwaya
8. The Monarch from 'Venture Bros' (Cartoon Network.) Dude is hilarious. -u/tossaway69420lol
9. Robbie Rotten. Great example because he’s not a murderer or anything, just a troublemaker. So you can actually sympathize with him without feeling bad about it. -u/TimeLordAsparagus
10. The Ice King. It's just a tragic backstory. He's just lonely and desperate for friends. -u/evil_wazard
11. Shego from 'Kim Possible." She's so entertaining and one of my cartoon crushes growing up, one of the reasons why I watch that show. -u/Snoo79382
12. Jessie and James. Pokemon would not be the same without them. -u/MyAccounts0
13. Davy Jones. He’s so extra, too. His first scene has him emerging from the water, walking along a line of terrified sailors while smoking from a pipe, stopping in front of one of them and saying “Do you fear death?” It’s an absolutely amazing way to introduce a character. -u/ShinyNinja25
14. Crowley. He didn’t fall from grace, so much as sauntered down. -u/JeremyMo88
15. Plankton. F is for fire that burns down the whole town. U is for uranium bombs. N is for no survivor. -u/dominatorkickback97
16. Wile E. Coyote. I'm rooting for him to blow the Road Runner up. -u/ItsMyView
17. Dr. Doofenshmirtz. DOOFENSHMIRTZ EVIL INCORPORATED. -u/oscar_meow
18. The Grinch. He wouldn't be so grumpy if there wasn't a dude singing songs every 5 minutes, about what a piece of sh*t he is. -u/steakandcheese1
19. Hades in the animated 'Hercules' movie. Huge POS, but f*ck if he wasn’t entertaining. -u/yungjaquellus
20. You can’t hate my man Bowser. Dude has 8 kids, legit go-karts and plays sports with Mario and his kids. He’s looking out for his kids by kidnapping Peach so they can have a mom lol. -u/AbstractElite
21. Vlad Dracula Tepes in the 2017 Castlevania series. Humanity sucks.-u/fufufufufufufufuf15
22. Vulture from MCU 'Spiderman.' The dude was looking out for his people. -u/TeddyRoo_v_Gods
23. Spike in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' His "out for a walk, b*tch" line randomly pops into my head every once in a while and I still laugh, he was a great character. -u/amediocremusician
24. Gus and Mike from 'Breaking Bad.' -u/Maximo-One
25. Prince Zuko. Never was really a villain in my opinion .-u/Snoo79382
