    Palpatine should be no less than 4th. Roy should be higher too.

    You mean the Engineers that had chemical weapons ready to attack Earth, and starting attacking the Prometheus crew without listening to any reason?

    I was just going to point that out. They were villians by any definition. As villians they weren't very well defined ones in terms of the over all plot and didn't have a lot of dialgoue but then again neither did the Xenomorphs.

    IS the Xenomorph from the Alien series really a villian, is it acting will malicious intent or acting just out of instict?

    To answer this question correctly, we need to answer the question if the lions in The Ghost and the Darkness are villains. Are animals villains?

    Mentally? . . . that's debatable.
    I second the T-1000. That's one scary SOB I wouldn't want chasing me.

    I'm not sure the Aliens could be classified as "villains" anymore than those creatures from Pitch Black.
