So what is your favorite Villain plot in a piece of fictional medium.

Mine...Is Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. In my humblest of opinion, the Emperor from Star Wars has one of the best Villain plots in fiction. Now say what you want about the Prequel Trilogies but lets face it the best part of them is the Emperor and not just the Emperor but his plan. Cause his plan is genius. To take the Republic and basically be the world's best and least threatening politician, winning the top job as Chancellor, then playing a Zanatos gamble by starting a way between indoctrinated clones and programmed battle droids, where you are in charge of both sides. Slowly but surely building up Imperial Power until all your enemies are in the right place to strike....and then finally proclaiming yourself Emperor pf the Galaxy. It's brilliant. But not only is it brilliant it's scary because this plan....minus the darkside of the force...could maybe work in the real world...yeah...think about that. So yeah Emperor Palpatine best Villain plot in fiction.
