This is so easy. My current favorite evil genius is blue and very cute. Megamind is everything an evil genius should be. He has witting dialogue, an oddball and loyal sidekick, and a perfect hero to fight. He lives to destroy Metro City. He has an endearing habit of mispronouncing words, a habit that will cause him lots of trouble.
Megamind comes from a troubled background. He was exposed to a rough, morally-challenged crowd in his young life. His role models directly influenced his decision to move to the dark side. Rejected by his peers at every turn, is it any wonder Megamind grew up to take vengeance on those who had mistreated him and judged him.
But the best thing about Megamind is his journey, from society's reject to the saviour of his tormentors. Only a true intellectual superior could devise a way to save Metro City from an evil even greater than our intrepid bad guy.

I never thought of who my favorite bad guy is. I guess I like characters like "The Crow", who are more vigilante. Or maybe good guys who act mean, like Clint Eastwood's character in Gran Torino, or Justin Chambers' "Alex Karev" in Grey's Anatomy. The Frankenstein monster is a sad case of a creature who has a soft heart yet humans treat him so badly he does evil things. How about "Cujo", a dog who gets rabies. Those are a few different types of "bad guys" than the usual ones that may come to mind.
Hm, interesting question! I'm usually a wimp so I tend not to identify much for the bad guys. I'll need to ponder this!
This movie is hilarious!
I also posted on an evil genius blogfest. Mine was about Dr. Horrible.
Megamind was a cute movie! I loved his sidekick.
My favorite villain? I dunno, really. But I wanted to stop in and say howdy. And, and, and, guess what?
I scored my second free toothpaste, with the six cents overage applied to the rest of my order.
Woohoo.
Happy Writing and New Week to You.
He was a villain with depth!

I've never seen Megamind, but he sounds like a great evil genius. :) And he does look kind of cute . . . LOL.
Thanks for participating!
What a great idea! I recently read a great book with an evil genius in it called Angel Maker by Stefan Brijs. Can't say the guy was likable, but he certainly was bad.
I'm not surprised so many of you love Megamind. This is a great blog fest.
My kids told me I should have written about Pinky and The Brain. Remember those guys?
Megamind is awesome. I love his character!
I was surprised with how much I enjoyed megamind. Excellent choice!
I know it's really wrong - but I fancied Megamind when I watched the film.
I don't really want to read into that too much! What does that make me eh? *shakes head* Shameful.
I like Megamind too. My favorite evil guy is definitely Gru.
Never seen Megamind, loved your intro though, going to add it to my list
I loved MegaMind! My favorite evil doer is "Pinky and The Brain".
I'd forgotten all about Megamind. Goodchoice :-)
Megamind! Good stuff. I love the bad guys and the bad guys turned good guys trope. My favorite of those being The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and Mr. Darcy.
But my favorite bad guys are too many to list. Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirz, Dr. Horrible- for sure, and I have to go with an industry standard and say Skeletor. AMong others.
Great post, Sue!
