Since their first appearance back in 1964, the X-Men have gradually grown to become amongst the most popular superhero groups. They're loved for their wide array of interesting character within the group itself (a hint towards what the next of these will be), but also for the colorful rogues gallery they sport. Though many of their villains tend to be slightly more obscure, they also tend to be great! But which one is the greatest? Let's decide once and for all (maybe) just who is the GREATEST X-MEN VILLAIN EVER!
I think we all know the rules by now, so I'm just gonna skim them. There will be three rounds, followed by the Finals. Each round will sport multiple matches, with four villains per match. Rank them, and the top two will move on to the next round. For each vote, points are distributed as such: 1st gets 4, 2nd gets 3, etc.
And so, without any further ado, here are the nominations (in competing order):
1. Count Nefaria 2. Stephen Lang 3. Shadow King 4. Mesmero Evo 5. Pyro (movie version) 6. Selene 7. Blob 8. Destiny 9. Vanisher 10. Spiral 11. Mojo 12. Donald Pierce 13. Deathbird 14. Ultimate Proteus 15. Storm Evo (Horseman) 16. Senator Kelly 17. William Stryker 18. Cassandra Nova 19. Deadpool 20. Mimic 21. Black Tom Cassidy 22. Avalanche 23. Arcade 24. Master Mold 25. Sugarman 26. Colonel John Wraith (Ultimate version) 27. Mastermind 28. Magneto 29. Emma Frost 30. Sentinels 31. Prof X Evo (Horseman) 32. Harry Leland 33. Sabretooth 34. Sebastian Shaw 35. Sauron 36. Apocalypse 37. Stepford Cuckoos 38. Juggernaut 39. Scarlet Witch Evo 40. Mystique 41. Proteus 42. Dr. Cornelius 43. Scarlet Witch 44. Bolivar Trask 45. Rogue 46. Archangel 47. X-23 48. Pyro 49. Krakoa 50. Mesmero 51. Xorn 52. Colossus Evo 53. Avalanche Evo 54. Mister Sinister 55. Gambit 56. Lady Deathstrike 57. Quicksilver 58. Bastion 59. Unus 60. Belasco 61. Domino (WatXM) 62. Ultimate Sinister 63. Toad 64. Dark Phoenix
(I'll post later rounds here too. Winners will be italicized.

ROUND ONE, MATCH ONEContestants are.... ![](http://xmendiaries.ibelgique.com/encyclopedie/villains_marvel/images/neferia02.jpg) Count Nefaria ![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RM1nTPpMDEc/SWzckBhYFXI/AAAAAAAAKkk/zaEjeJSvbEc/s400/XM98p11.jpg) Stephen Lang ![](http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/191036-157284-shadow-king_super.jpg) Shadow King ![](http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/35376/723925-mesmero_super.jpg) Mesmero Evo My vote: 1. Stephen Lang (Sorry, I couldn't find a picture - too many of the actor - that'll have to do. He did, after all, CREATE that Sentinel! In fact, he's my favorite of the Sentinel creators! He's just so EVIL! He's essentially the X-Men's Hitler....) 2. Shadow King (Also brilliant - I'd be surprised if he didn't move on. Professor Xavier's first foe.) 3. Count Nefaria (He's cool, I guess.) 4. Mesmero (He's all right. Mysterious, yes, but kind of a wimp....)

1. Shadow King: very, very cool villain. 2. Mesmero: The mind-bending Mesmero is a great villain 3. Nefaria: not too terrible 4. Lang: I must admit to not knowing him.

Pyro (movie)- 12 Selene- 4 Blob- 7 Destiny- 7 Pyro wins, and there'll be a tiebreaker between Blob and Destiny. And we need to advertise this site a bit more.... TIEBREAKERContestants are.... ![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__T6BfLHtlBc/SwtpbGfIkZI/AAAAAAAACSk/CSlvhd4kNkk/s1600/Destiny+(2).jpg) Destiny ![](http://ui14.gamespot.com/1133/xmenblob1xmenlegends_2.jpg) Blob ROUND ONE, MATCH THREEContestants are.... ![](http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/9241/566534-0002_large.jpg) Vanisher ![](http://marvel.com/universe3zx/images/thumb/d/d3/Spiral.jpg/440px-Spiral.jpg) Spiral ![](http://marvel.com/universe3zx/images/thumb/a/a6/Mojo.jpg/440px-Mojo.jpg) Mojo ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/45/Pierce_uncanny.JPG/250px-Pierce_uncanny.JPG) Donald Pierce Again, that's: Vanisher Spiral Mojo Pierce My vote: 1. Vanisher (I'm surprised someone other than me knew who he was enough to nominate him, considering that I'm the only one whose read the original comics....) 2. Spiral (She's cool, but will probably move on without my help.) 3. Pierce (Cyborg. Hellfire Club. Okay, I guess.) 4. Mojo (He's kind of lame - I much prefer his assistant who he's ironically competing against.)

Spiral - yeah... Mojo - he might need help Vanisher - looks cool Pierce - I really need to learn the lame villains of this series

I have read the first Uncanny X-Men Essential, thank you very much. and maybe the second too, but i doubt it. If i remember right, Vanisher was from the second issue ever.
tiebreak: Blob
1. Vanisher: he's cool 2. Spiral: really liked her in WaTXM 3. Mojo: not too bad, but irritating in X-Men: TAS 4. Pierce: Hellfire Club, but yet another forgettable one

Post by paycheckgurl on Feb 5, 2010 20:31:37 GMT -6
I know like none of these guys!
Sprial (wait I know that one! She's actually pretty badass) Vansiher (looks cool) Mojo (...) Pierce (...)
I wasn't in the last round but if I can still choose a tie breaker (doubt it) I'll go with Destiny. More interesting than Blob IMHO.

Post by spideyfan914 on Feb 5, 2010 20:34:37 GMT -6
Oh yeah, I'm voting Destiny too.
And by the way, if you know Spiral, you probably know Mojo - he's her boss!

TiebreakerBlob- 2 Destiny- 2 They're still tied, so I'll PM juke and get back to you guys. Match ThreeVanisher- 12 Spiral- 14 Mojo- 8 Pierce- 5 Spiral and Vanisher move on 'cause they look cool. ROUND ONE, MATCH FOURContestants are.... ![](http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/81208-169403-deathbird_super.jpg) Deathbird ![](http://marvel.com/universe3zx/images/thumb/d/d8/UltimateProteus.jpg/440px-UltimateProteus.jpg) Ultimate Proteus ![](http://www.mutanthigh.com/film/evolution/horsemanstorm.jpg) Storm Evo (Horseman) ![](http://marvel.com/universe3zx/images/thumb/0/08/SenatorKelly.jpg/440px-SenatorKelly.jpg) Senator Kelly Again, that's: Deathbird Ultimate Proteus Storm Evo (Horseman) Senator Kelly My vote: 1. Proteus (Because he's just that cool.) 2. Kelly (He's become something of an icon in the X-verse.) 3. Horseman of Apocalypse (Storm became a Horseman of Apocalypse. For about ten minutes. Big whoop. The Horsemen in Evo weren't even as cool as usual.) 4. Deathbird (Ecch.... Shi'ar.... I've always preferred my X-Men earthbound - the Shi'ar just doesn't do it for me.... When I read the first issue with the Shi'ar Empire, I felt like I had put down X-Men and picked up Star Wars....)

1. Kelly: because he's an icon 2. Proteus: his issues were awesome(even if the art sucked) 3. Storm: I thought she was cool 4. Deathbird: i agree with spidey

1) Senator Kelly-like Cradleman said-he's iconic (and I know who he is!...wait is that redundant?) 2) Ultimate Proteus (...) 3) Deathbird (...) 4) Storm-This one feels like a cheat
