These are characters that slink through the night, whispering wicked promises and wielding untold power. Join me now as we descend into the abyss and unveil the top 10 fiendsā¦
#10 – Battuta from How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
Ah, our adventure begins with a villain from a fantasy realm filled with magic and monsters. Battuta is a dark and menacing presence in How Not to Summon a Demon Lord. Voiced by the velvet-toned D.C. Douglas, he lurks in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike at our hapless heroes.
Why Heās Wicked:
Though he might be #10 on our list, Battuta is no less malevolent than his counterparts. His terrifying power and thirst for domination make him a looming threat throughout the series. D.C. Douglas brings Battutaās ominous presence to life with a voice as smooth as poison.
#9 – Dusklite Site Manager from MotorStorm: Apocalypse
Ah, the Dusklite Site Manager, a role of cold authority in the midst of chaos. In MotorStorm: Apocalypse, the world is crumbling, and this managerial menace is determined to keep his grip on power.
Why Heās Despicable:
Douglasās voice drips with bureaucratic disdain as he navigates the chaotic landscape with an iron fist. Heās not a traditional villain, but his control over the environment and his disregard for human life make him a villain of a different sort. Calm, collected, and utterly ruthless.
#8 – H.B. from Xenoblade Chronicles X
Next on our descent into darkness is H.B., the morally ambiguous antihero of Xenoblade Chronicles X. H.B. may not always be the villain, but when his goals clash with those of the protagonist, youāll feel the weight of D.C. Douglasās rich, deep performance.
Why Heās Heinous:
H.B. is a character who can turn on you in the blink of an eye. His complex personality, combined with Douglasās authoritative tone, makes him a standout figure in the game. Youāll find yourself questioning whether heās truly a friendāor a foe lying in wait.
#7 – Bill Coburn from The Crew
Now, let us venture into the world of corruption and greed with Bill Coburn, the CEO who will stop at nothing to maintain his empire. The Crew may be about fast cars, but Bill Coburn is a villain of power and influence.
Why Heās Corrupt:
Douglas gives Coburn an air of untouchable superiority, the kind of villain who never gets his hands dirty but pulls the strings behind the scenes. Whether youāre racing or scheming, Bill Coburnās voice will haunt you long after the race ends.
#6 – Shoot McMahon from Hunter x Hunter
Ah, dear Shoot McMahon. A man tormented by his own fears and doubts, he starts as an enemy in the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter, only to reveal his inner struggles. He is not purely evil, but the shadows of villainy touch him in ways few can comprehend.
Why Heās Tragic:
Douglas imbues Shoot with a haunting vulnerability, a man afraid of his own power and haunted by his decisions. Heās a reluctant villain, and you can feel the weight of his emotional conflict in every word he utters. Sometimes, the worst villains are the ones who donāt want to be villains at all.
#5 – X Drake from One Piece
Ah, X Drake, the pirate who plays both sides of the law. In One Piece, heās a force to be reckoned with, switching allegiances and keeping everyone guessing. Is he truly a villain? Or is he merely a puppetmaster, guiding the chaos?
Why Heās Deceptive:
Douglasās portrayal of X Drake is one of cunning and control. His voice carries the weight of secrets and lies, pulling the strings from behind the curtain. His loyalties are ever-shifting, and his menace lies in his unpredictability.
#4 – The Praetorian from Super Crooks
And now we encounter The Praetorian, a corrupt superhero with the power to do just about anythingāand the lack of moral compass to match. In Super Crooks, The Praetorian is a true supervillain, unchecked by the rules that bind lesser men.
Why Heās Evil:
With powers that verge on the godlike and a casual cruelty to match, The Praetorian is terrifying because of his sheer disregard for life. Douglas brings him to life with a voice that oozes disdain for anyone beneath him, making him a top-tier villain in our countdown.
#3 – Yoshikage Kira from JoJoās Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable
Ah, Yoshikage Kira, a man who simply wants to live a quiet life… while collecting the severed hands of his victims. In JoJoās Bizarre Adventure, Kira is a villain of chilling subtlety. His calm demeanor hides a psychopathic heart.
Why Heās Terrifying:
D.C. Douglas gives Kira a soft, almost polite voice, which only makes his murderous tendencies all the more chilling. He is a villain who blends into the crowd, a wolf in sheepās clothing, and his normalcy is what makes him one of the most terrifying villains in anime.
#2 – Rayvis from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Our runner-up is none other than Rayvis, a formidable GenāDai warrior from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. As a merciless foe of Cal Kestis, Rayvis brings an ancient, imposing presence to the battlefield. His towering figure, regenerative abilities, and ruthless commitment to the Bedlam Raiders make him one of the most fearsome villains in the galaxy.
Why Heās Terrifying:
D.C. Douglas gives Rayvis a booming, gravelly voice that echoes through the ages. His calm, yet menacing tone perfectly encapsulates the relentless nature of the GenāDai. Though he believes in honor, his actions show no mercy, and his pursuit of his goals makes him a towering villain both physically and morally. An adversary not easily forgotten.
#1 – Albert Wesker from Resident Evil Series
And now, dear reader, we have arrived at the apex of villainy. The crown jewel of D.C. Douglasās evil portrayalsāAlbert Wesker. From the moment he first appeared in Resident Evil, Wesker has been the ultimate mastermind, orchestrating horrors from behind the scenes with an unflinching smile.
Why Heās The Ultimate Villain:
What makes Wesker so terrifying? Itās his combination of intellect, power, and charisma. D.C. Douglas gives Wesker a voice that is both smooth and utterly menacing, a voice that promises doom with the elegance of a gentleman.
