So, why not have a list of the Top 15 Greatest Disney villains. But wait, there are so many different movies and you guys know my favorite ones, so this would be too predictable. BUT how about we do something else: We do Disney TV shows.
Disney has a large library of villains from various cartoons and TV shows from their various in carnations of the TV series. here's some ground rules though:
- Cannot be characters who first appeared in a movie before the show was made (So no Ursula, Hades or anyone like that)
- Has to have a big part in the series, so sadly one-off villains do not count.
- Has to be memorable in their own right and be part of a TV series that DIsney produced themselves.
- NO Marvel or Star Wars.
And also...some honorable mentions include: Miss Finster from Recess, Janja the Hyena from the Lion Guard, Ludo from Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, Lord Dominator from Wonder over Yonder, Baren Blitz from Teamo Surpremo.
With that out of the way, enjoy!
15/ Dr. Doofensmirtz (Phineas and Ferb)
Oh boy, I am gonna guess I'm gonna get flack from some people wtih putting him on the bottom. Look, Heinz is a good villain...kinda. You see, he's a lot of fun to watch very enjoyable as a character, but as a villain, he fails WAY to many times. I know that's part of his charm, but that kinda goes against the idea of a villain.
Of course, it's fun tos ee what hairbrain scheme he thinks up.
Mind you, his other world duplicate is a BIG Time threat given he wasn't as silly, but as is, Doofensmirtz and his overly convululted backstory. Here's the basis: his parents never arrived at his birth (SOMEHOW), got attacked by various animals, was forced into a dress as a child, was turned into a lawn gnome by his father, was second to his baby brother and a DOG, was raised by Ocelots, smelled like pork for some reason, and wasn't allowed a decent childhood. So yeah, you can expect this guy was a
14/ Li’l Gideon (Gravity Falls)
And now we're going ot the actual villains into the series of TV shows that Disney has made. Gideon Gleeful is a fake psychic who wants to get rid of his comeptition in Gravity Falls, but soon falls in love with Mable Pines (much to her disgust), but also gets the ire of her brother Dipper. This leads to various events such as making a deal with a demonic being and using a shrink ray to try and get to Dipper. He is also very power hungry and wishes to have ultimate power. In all, this half-pint is quite a evil little annoyance, but still a big time threat as he is quite intimidating and demanding, kinda like a much worse male version of Veruca Salt from
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
And give him a magical amulet, he is a BIG time threat.
13/ Evil Manta (Little Mermaid the Televison Series)
One of the main antagonists of the Little Mermaid TV Show besides Ursula, Evil Manta has shown himself to be an interesting idea. instead of the usual merman, he appears to be a evil-mostuache-totting manta ray creature with human-like aspects to him such as hands and the like. However, the glowing eyes and Jim Cumming's voice easily help give him an emposing appearance.
12/ Emporer Zerg (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command)
And yes, I know about my rule..but here's the thing: in the Toy STory movies, they're all TOYS. As in, not the actual characters, but toys based on them. SO thus...
<This does not count as this>
Anyway, unlike the Toy version of Zurg, who gives himself a sort of Darth Vader-esque feel to him, Zerg in the TV Series has a lot more hammy moments akin to Skeletor or Zedd from POwer Rangers. But do not make any doubts, he IS still very dangerous can be very threatning, especially with the laser (Seriously, it goes from a ball shooter to a F-ing BFG) and his army of robots that allowed him to conquer many different worlds.. If you can find Buzz Lightyear of STar Command online or see the pilot episode, I would highly recommend
11/ Chuckles the Evil Piggy (Dave the Barbarian)
The embodiment of hammy villiany, Chuckles is from the comedic show that was sadly not that long, Dave the Barbarian. Such as with the tone of the series, Chuckles is somewhat compedent of a threat and does win at times. However, his personality and overly goofy personality kinda stops people from realizing it, especially the curly tail thing. However, his amulet (the amulet of Hogswingmore) gives him a lot of dangerous powers. However, he doesn't make the cut for the Top 10 because he isn't the most threatning of them. The next ten however get a lot more frightning.
10/ Nega-Duck (Darkwing Duck)
And now we get to the impitomy of insanity, Nega-Duck. All of the good in Darkwing perverted into evil, he's from essentially Disney-verse Earth 3, where all the good guysa re evil and what not. Nega-Duck is very violent and sadistic, always whipping out dangerous weapons and using them on anything that happens within to be arms reach of him. He rules the evil group he put together with an iron...wing? I don't know how their physiology works. Anyway, he's as skilled as Darkwing if not more so due to his dangerous attidude and clear-as-day insanity. JUST don't get too close.
9/ Mozenrath (Aladdin the animated Series)
Say hello to one of the big bads of the Aladdin TV Series and a very interesting one at that. You see, in Aladdin 3, it was rumored that they were gonna reveal that he and Aladdin were long-lost brothers but that got scrapped. But given how he is in the show, it makes sense. but as for personality, he is VERY similar to Jafar, however his powers have a different cost. He had lost the skin on his hand, leaving it as a skeleton. This seems to imply taht he is slowly dying and is all he can to conquer the Seven Deserts. This makes him a very dangerous villain as he is not just powerful, he's intelligent. However, having only 9 episodes under his belt, he has not a lot of time to shine.
8/ Pete (House of Mouse)
Playing the usual mean neighbor in
Goof Troop and only appearing in a small handful of episodes in the new Shorts, it's nice to see Pete back in his usual swing of things. In House of Mouse, hes the landlord of the club and wishes to close it down mainly to spite Mickey and his friends. He is calculating and very genre savvy, but is also still a goofball as he usually is. He is able to think of some good plans, such as giving out posion apples to the staff of the House of Mouse or using Pumbaa as a way to clear out the building. He can be a big time threat and is sometimes getting others to help. If only the other villains didn't alos cause trouble, but what can you do when you put so many villains in one building.
7/ Queen La (The Legends of Tarzan)
For those that don't know, Queen La is one of the novel characters adapted into the Legends of Tarzan series. She is the Queen of Opar and rules over the leopard people with an iron fist. she has a lot of magical power and that makes her very dangerous. Even death cannot stop her, as when she did perish, she was able to put herself back into Jane's body for her final appearance. She wants Tarzan to herself, but given that she is currently trapped in are at body, she may likely not be able to do much.
6/ The Skeleton King (Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperspace Go!)
Originally an alchemist and creator of the heroes in question, the Skeleton King got corrupted by a dark force and became the big threat of Shugazoom City, named after his old friend. The SKeleton King is a massive threat, akin to the Horned King of Black Couldren fame as he has many different monsters and demons at his disposal, he is a massive threat to the city and the entire universe. Plus being voiced by Mark Hammil never hurt either.
5/ Flintheart Glomgold (Ducktales)
Scrooge McDucks arch rival for years, Flintheart is a long-time rival character and wishes to be the richest duck in the world. Being a fusion of another rival character, Roderduck, Flintheart here is a Scottish man who got his riches and is very stingy. He would do anything to get ahead of his rival, even sending him away with a genie or making his workers work for him. While he isn't as dangerous, the personal threat level of him makes him very interesting.
4/ Drakken and Shego (Kim Possible)
The two most recurring villains in the show and the most interesting, this duo of villains are very fun to watch with their interactions. Drakken was born Drew Lipsky, an old collage friend of James Possible, Kim's father. After somehow getting his skin turned blue and got a nasty-looking scar under his eye, he hires a former superheroine named Shego, who enjoyed the thrill of evil and the two became a fearsome twosome. The two's interaction is a kinda reversal of the Kim and Ron relationship, as Kim is the leader of her team while Drakken is for his own. However, both are still very good villains despite never really winning. Drakken may be very cheap, but is able to think of some ingenious inventions and if Shego applied herself, she'd be the most dangerous villain out there. Just be lucky that they kinda-reformed at the end of their show's run, or else they cold have wised up.
3/ 627 (Lilo and Stitch: The animated Series)
Evil incarnate, 627 (nicknamed Evile by some) is like Stitch up to 11. Made to be evil in all ways and never able to reform, 627 is very dangerous with various powers and abilities that make him a force of pure danger. He has powers such as fire breath, electrokinesis, super speed and strength, laser energy and what not. His main weakness is his extreme sense of humor, which can render him useless if anyone would come to him and make him laugh. But in all, he is all danger and no redeeming qualities whatsoever, making him a dangerous rival for Stitch.
2/ Dark Dragon (American Dragon Jake Long)
The most dangerous monster in the Jake Long Universe, the Dark Dragon is a being who has lived for centuries and has shown himself to be a massive threat. With an army of dangeorus monsters at his dispoasal, he is a very dangerous threat. He has the usual dragon powers but up to 10 given his size and experience. In fact, he wasn't really killed in his last appearance, only sealed away. so he could be released sooner than later, but who knows, he could still be there. But as for what makes him dangerous, he had to be taken on by multiple dragons at once to even get him and his temple sealed away and nearly took Rose with him. So this adds to some danger.
But if the Dark Dragon isn't number one, I guess you know who it is:
1/ David Xanatos (Gargoyles)
While he did reform in the series, Xanatos was actually one of the most succesful villains out of all of the villains on this list. He is cunning, intelligent and very dangerous, using any resource he can to further his own goals. and here's the kicker, compared to all of the other villains; he has never truely lost in his old evil days. He took any so-called loss as a victory in it's own right, using them to his advantage despite having lost. this puts him above and beyond the others, as they would usually change goals inbetween episodes. Xanatos had a clear goal and he stayed on it until he and Fox got married and his son was saved by his old enemies. This changed him and reformed him into the character we got to know in the later part of the series. In all, his only real way to lose against his enemies was to join their side.
