    I suspect if Victor Von Doom ran on a strong anti-crime platform, he'd get the vote of 80% of US Republicans.

    I've got to honest, Lex Luthor kind of reminds me of Dick Cheney.

    @Post-Nuked: When Lex fires a gun, someone dies.
    Then again, he wouldn't go "hunting" where birds are released from cans and hurled at pudgy "hunters" either.

    Mole Man's the only I can't get behind. Give me Miracleman over him any day (though, MM's status as super-villain depends on whether or not you're a fascist at heart[he said, teasing Godwin's law]).

    Wow; I can't be the only one here who's read the GN 'Emperor Doom'. You get to see for a bit how Doom would run things, and the Avengers have a bit of buyer's remorse after taking him down.

    Y'know, there was a time when Dr. Doom did actually take over the world and turned the entire damn place into a utopia, and then he gave it up because he was bored.

    So yeah, I'd vote for Dr. Doom.

    Interestingly, no chick supervillains.

    I guess that's the domain of sci-fi on television and usually takes the luscious form of an alien or cybernetic shaped woman shaped like Caprica 6, Morena Bacarena, or Jane Balder.

    What? No love for Hank Scorpio? The best boss ever!
    Even his Bond villain type song is cool:

    Scorpio!
    He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
    Beware of Scorpio!
    His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world
    And his employees' health.
    He'll welcome you into his lair,
    Like the nobleman welcomes his guest.
    With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!
    But beware of his generous pensions,
    Plus three weeks paid vacation each year,
    And on Fridays the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer!
    He loves German beer!

    Ignoring what the Public Enemies storyline did to him, one of the most interesting things about Lex Luthor as president in the DC Universe was how good he was at it. He was a very good president -- he excelled at everything else he had ever done (excepting the stuff revolving around Superman, of course), and he excelled at running the country.

    Until Public Enemies, where he decided to put on a battlesuit and blame Superman for a Kryptonite meteor.

    I vote for Ra's al Ghul. All the guy wants to do is get rid of the six billion extra people who are mucking up the planet so the rest who are left can enjoy it to the fullest. What's the harm in that?
