What are your top 3 iconic Romulan villains?

[Trelane_Squire_of_Gothos]

It's a damn shame when a good thread goes bad.

Not this day, Squire. Honestly, though, the issue isn't Nanclus so much -- conspiring to assassinate a head of state or two is sufficiently villainous -- but that his part in the movie is so minor that he's a glorified extra. It's more that so many other far more delicious baddies weren't included.

And let's be real, most all Romulans are baddies of one form or another. Cretak nearly staged the Romulan invasion of Bajor if not for Ross. Let the pointed ears be plentiful and the vote be a good one.

Someone made the point on here that there really aren't a ton of major Romulan characters to choose from. I included him because he was the only major Romulan villain in a prime Star Trek film (unless you want to count Nemesis). It really doesn't hurt anything to have him on there...

Romulan Commander (Mark Leonard)

[Lord Garth]

Romulan Commander from "Balance of Terror" (TOS)
Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident" (TOS)
Commander Toreth from "Face of the Enemy" (TNG)

Though I don't think of any of them as villains. The Romulan Commanders from "The Enterprise Incident" and "Face of the Enemy" did nothing wrong. And the Romulan Commander in "Balance of Terror" was only reluctantly carrying out his duty.

Remember the time Gul Dukat impersonated a Romulan Warbird Commander?

Remember the time Gul Dukat impersonated a Romulan Warbird Commander?

Cardassian psyops trying to start a war between the Federation and the Romulans, because the Cardassians were losing badly in their own war.

Exactly!
