Who doesn't like a good bad guy? Sometimes they're better than the hero, and often times more interesting. So here's my list of my top baddies (from books I've read or otherwise).
1: Little Finger (A Song of Ice and Fire series)- This guy is, like, THE Puppet Master. He's the one who started the ball rolling when he poisoned John Arryn and basically created the animosity between the Starks and the Lanisters, which caused a great war for the top throne. He's controlling the game basically and went from money counter to Lord of about three Castles, not to mention that he's got Sansa under his control so he might just end up with Winterfell in the end too. the best part is: no one knows it's him who's doing all this stuff and the reader doesn't find out it's him until the 4th book or somewhere around there. And I was suspicious of The Spider...
2: Iago (Othello)- This guy reminds me a little of Little Finger, but with less opportunities to make it seriously big. He lies and he manipulates about three people at a time. It seems like his main motive is jealousy, and you know how that works. He takes a lot of risks that could expose him and relies on others trust to back stab and betray them. And yet it almost seems like he thinks he's doing something good for Othello, when really he's just pitting people against him.
3: Dr. Mercer (Dead Space)- I hate this guy so much. I think it'd be hard to find someone who says they don't. The thing is, he's a great bad guy, the kind of guy you just love to hate. I'm pretty sure (I haven't beaten the game yet) he's the one responsible for bringing the contamination onto the ship and causing all the scary crap to happen. You know how evil doctors are. I mean he says that it's time for the human race to go extinct and we should just give ourselves up to this new creature, which makes me wonder if he's infected or not, he did kill the Captain after all (The Captain had some sense at least but then he died). *shudder* I really hate this guy.
4: Lucifer (Supernatural)- He's the frickin' devil and a jealous, denying, papa's boy. I'm sure we've all heard the story.
5: Glados (Portal)- The Robot who killed everyone and continues to kill unfortunate test subjects. She has some really funny lines in the game and it's hard to hate her, but still she made you kill your companion cube and she lied to you about the cake (though it was real) and she sings about still being alive. Best evil robot ever.
6: 343 Guilty Spark (Halo)- Another evil Robot...thing. I actually really liked 343 when you first meet him in Halo, though he gets kind of annoying when he leaves and the Flood come and attack you in the Library. And then he betrays you and tries to kill everything in the universe, though i guess he really doesn't see it as betrayal but you know... he basically kills Johnson in Halo 3, but then you get to destroy him and it's o-so-satisfying.
That's all I can think of at the moment...:P
