To commemorate the highest honor amongst scientists - the top ten Evil Geniuses/Scientists/Nemesii. Some may not be scientists other than in their 'form'...so we'll include those that SHOULD have been evil science geniuses too. Because it's my list, that's why.
honorable mention: Odd Job (Bond) - He MIGHT have been a scientist. I had to give him an honorable mention for the Hat. You know you wanted one.
THE TOP TEN EVIL GENIUSES/SCIENTISTS/NEMESII OF ALL TIME
10. Keyser Soze (Usual Suspects) - Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
9. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs) - Don't cross him or he'll eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
8. The Riddler (Batman) - The Batman Forever version computer-genius turned evil. It's Jim Carrey, man. How can he not be on the list as pure mental insanity?!
7. Lex Luthor (Superman) - aha! You think you're all smart with your 'but he wasn't a genius scientist!' Yes he was! In the original 1930s concept, he was a solitary mad scientist, and it was only in the decadent 80's that he was remodeled as corporate wealth. I'm predicting in advance that Kevin Spacey's version will go down as far superior to Hackman. Trust me.
6. Brain (Pinky and the Brain) - Taking over the world was just the beginning.
5. Snidely Whiplash (The Dudley Do Right Show) - The tying to the train tracks, the acme dynamite. He was the original, the best, the darkest, the mustache-iest.
4. Dr. Cox (Scrubs) - yes, he's on a sitcom, yes it counts. Pure genius. And don't you forget it, Brittney.
3. Professor Moriarity (Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) - Initially his math tutor, finally mathematical genius was killed falling over a waterfall in a deadly grasp with Holmes. I had the same exact situation happen with my math tutor once.
2. Dr. Julius No (Dr. No (James Bond)) - The best of all Bond villains - specialist in atomic energy, which cost him his hands. Was killed by drowning in radioactive water. With a name like Julius - I fully expected childhood issues. Shame on his parents and for suggesting he become a Doctor. Everyone learned that in evil genius development 101.
And the number one Evil Genius of all time…..
1. Dr. Evil (Austin Powers) - the pinky alone - no discussion.
