Most creepy villain

After watching the episode "Man Of The People" on Sunday, I've began to wonder if Ambassador Alkar isn't the most creepy, slimy villain Trek has come up with. That guy beats Khan clearly when it comes to being evil.
 
Creepy and evil are two different characteristics. :vulcan:

... That guy beats Khan clearly when it comes to being evil.

Hardly. Khan was a murderous tyrant. Alkar is a slimeball who is ambitious and uses women. I've met a lot more people like Alkar than people like Khan.
 
The very creepy Sarjenka from "Pen Pals". Nearly killing Data in volcanic gas. How dare she.

Picard during the first half of "Homeward" thanks to some truly awful mis-application of the Prime Directive. :vulcan:

The hallucinated villain in "Frame of Mind" deserves a mention. I think the winner, though, is Locutus of Borg.
 
I always found the beings from "Schisms" to be rather creepy. Shadowy subspace creatures who were drawn to the Enterprise when Geordi made some seemingly innocuous sensor enhancements. The creatures apparently liked something about the enhancements and were drawn to the ship like moths to a flame... where they proceeded to abduct crewmembers and conduct experiments on them.

Weird stuff. I think part of the reason I find it so scary is how they were drawn to the ship completely by accident. There's something scary about not being able to make something as routine as sensor enhancements without potentially putting the ship in danger. I mean, if you can't do that, then you're pretty much screwed all the time, right?

The Aldeans, for their tech level married with their childishness over the issue of children. 'Won't give them? Nyaaah! We'll take them anyway! We asked you nice, and you were mean and wouldn't give!' Even the 'nice' Aldean saw nothing wrong with this, til she saw their scheme wouldn't work.
This is the legendary race? The Orkans were more mature.

Ha! Not a fan of that ep, except for Picard's outraged speech when the Aldeans take the children: "You claim to be a civilized world, and yet you've just committed an act of UTTER BARBARITY!" -- RR
 
Nagilum from Where Silence Has Lease. The combination of that creepy, creepy face with a calm voice was pretty scary.
 
For me it was Admiral Nora Saite from 'Drumhead'. So seemingly patriotic and matronly, but oh wow when she came unhinged the depth of maniacal hatred and seething rage to the point where you actually feel she would stop at nothing to bring anyone down who crossed her and her view of the Federation...

The intensity of her performance has remained with me and she qualifies as very creepy and frightening given the power and position she was able to attained even in such a benevolent government and went unnoticed til Picard unmasked her.

Classic Villian and Classic Scene
 
Khan was a villain on a grand scale, to the point even Kirk, Scotty and McCoy could admire his world-conquering ways. Alkar was a small-time sleaze whose secret to success was all kinds of ick. In that sense, sure, he's among Trek's creepiest.

I liked the extra visual touch of making his death creepy, too. Alien, with the instant rigor mortis.
