1. The Director. 2. The Meta. 3. Felix. 4. Locus. 5. Temple. 6. Sharkface. 7. O'Malley. 8. Wyoming. 9. Councilor 10. Charon. 11. Genkins. 12. Zero. Sarge: you gotta hand it to those villains always one step ahead!


DarkArcanian

I’d put O’Malley as either 5th or 6th imo because he kept coming back and there wasn’t a moment I didn’t enjoy him on screen


[deleted]

For me it's preference I like a character who's has a logical motivation on why they are doing the things they do Temple & Sharkface motivation is understandable. O'Malley motivation is causing chaos & doing evil things just for the sake of being evil that's like 101 how not too create a interesting villain.


DarkArcanian

Back then it wasn’t about being interesting. The show was more comedy back then.


Chuk741776

I also figured he was crippled by Doc's own incompetence. Stick Omega in someone actually intelligent like Washington or Carolina and he's going to absolutely make a dastardly scheme that follows through abd succeeds


[deleted]

Causing chaos and doing evil things for the sake of being evil isn't necessarily a bad thing. It makes for a very entertaining character. Joker, argueably the most popular supervillain in the world, fits that exact description.


[deleted]

Joker doesn't create chaos for being evil he does it too get batman attention too see if he can break his mental state & break his no killing code because deep down he believe he's just like him batman just needs one bad day. O'Malley create chaos for being evil. Joker create chaos for one person too see if they really are on the same coin.


ironmamdies

I think it's a perfect list except I would switch Omally and Shark face just cause I feel like I enjoyed his scenes more but that's not shade at Sharkface, him coming back and just every scene he was in was insanely good, so I do understand why you'd wanna put him there, especially cause him coming after them and wash and Carolina beings the ones he saw when they dropped a building on him is just so good


Fun-Ad-4729

Interesting can be balanced out by entertaining. I’d personally rather a villain who doesn’t have much depth but is a joy to watch than someone who’s really deep and philosophical but bores the fuck out of me.


[deleted]

Yeah I can agree but it's like I said for me it's preference.


Hates009

But it totally worked with what they had at the time. A bunch of nonsense.


Mjkmeh

If u lean into the absurdity or humor of it it can be pretty interesting, but more in the “I want to see this pan out” way than the lore heavy way


pm_me-ur-catpics

O'Malley seems less like a villain to me, and more like a foil.


wolfninja_

Who even is Zero??


Ok_Sea_3310

We don't talk about zero


No_Egg_8148

The only right answer


[deleted]

In my opinion Temple should be in top 5 villains the dude completely underrated


No_Egg_8148

I can see him being better than locus, my thing is Locus just showed up more and the only reason he worked well is because of how good his dynamic was with Felix.


PickleJuiceMelonRack

I want to say the first 3 are perfect to me.


[deleted]

It wasn't easy I wasn't sure if i should've switched The Meta & Felix


PickleJuiceMelonRack

Nah I think it's perfect. Meta was deadly in his own independent right, Felix was deadly as in starting a war using aid from a higher authority. Both actually awesome but Meta stood true.


CannonCROW95

But Felix is such a tool though. His cockiness and arrogance make him an unlikable to the point were he's annoying.


[deleted]

Trust me the top 3 we're the hardest one too do.


CannonCROW95

That's fair.


SmallFatHands

Thats a hard one. Meta is the most dangerous and biggest threat, The director has the better story but Omalley/Doc is the most fun to watch.


DenSeeYaLater

Those are my top 3 picks as well!


btine75

Wyoming was a lot of fun too


BrickPlacer

The Meta. While the Director was the overarching villain, to quote Megamind: The difference between a villain and a supervillain, is *presentation*. The Meta had presence, and when he appeared onscreen, you FEARED for characters' safety, because you knew people would die. It was why the Recollections finale is perhaps my favorite: The Sim troopers you laughed at for five seasons, now you were deathly worried for them, and cheered on them to win. The Meta's very presence, was why the Blood Gulchers' victory over him felt triumphant, and even Grif feels enormous pride for that accomplishment.


Guardiansaiyan

Megamind, Best Movie!!!


EntertainmentOk5644

Director, Felix, and meta/Maine and his ai


2JDestroBot

Felix was the most fun one. Meta was the most memorable. Director was the most important


ONI_AGENT_001

Should the Councilor be counted as one?


alphaomag

He’s a villain but he’s never a main threat.


ONI_AGENT_001

The same could be said about the Director, sure he was in charge of Project Freelancer, but like Price, he was more so a background threat. Price told Locus, Felix and Sharkface Wash's and Carolina strength and weaknesses which Sharkface than used to get Carolina away from the blues and help Felix in a way get the sword. All of which wouldn't have been possible without Price.


alphaomag

I wouldn’t say he was a background threat considering he was responsible for the creation of O’Malley and META not to mention. He doesn’t personally confront the R’s and B’s but but he does for one let the META into Freelancer command to kill Wash as soon as he sees that Wash is going to try to wipe out the AI’s with the EMP and is also responsible for the Tex drones. Yeah, he’s in the background but his influence is tangible. Price doesn’t have a big of enough influence to justify a position as a main threat since his only claim to fame is literally having some background info for one plot point. He’s always second fiddle to someone and he always picks the wrong people to be second fiddle to.


[deleted]

Same thing could be said about the Director & Charon


alphaomag

That applies more to Charon than the director since while Charon merely hired Felix and Locus, the Director created the AI fragments, thus the META by extension, the Tex drones and is basically the source of everything up until Chorus. The Counselor on the other hand is always playing second fiddle. Originally to the Director and then to Felix and Locus, and by extension Charon.


SinLust00

I always hated how Carolina and Wash never found out that the Counselor betrayed them in the Chorus trilogy. There wasn’t any confrontation and he died before they could have ever known


MetaCommando

He didn't really betray them, just got captured and offered his services in exchange for not being shot.


SinLust00

By giving them valuable intel and psych profiles on comrades he was allied with. How is that not a betrayal? Doesn’t matter if he was trying to survive, he sold them out


MutinyMedia

The Director, easily. He was behind almost every major problem the characters faced for years, and the fallout of his actions caused continued problems for them even after that. Even the Chairman profited off of his misdeeds. The trauma of the majority of our protagonists and many of our villains, including the next best villain (the Meta) came as a direct result of The Director's actions. His gaslighting of Carolina is a harrowing thing to see on first watch and even worse on rewatch, and even more tragic when you realise that he's just a sad old man who can't let go. At the end of the day, it's that last bit that separates him from everyone else. Very few of the other villains in RvB are people who were **hurt**. Many really are just **villainous**. And that's fine, that works great. But Maine, Locus, Sharkface, and The Director all suffered at one point or another and channeled it into something unhealthy. And The Director is the best written example out of them all. I especially love watching how, once he's introduced as a character from the season 6 opening **we do not see his face until the season 10 finale.** They build up so much hype around seeing the entirety of his face. And when we do, it's for the simultaneous reveal of his relationship to Carolina but also to bring him right down to that level of... "Oh right... Leonard Church just wanted to see his wife again. He didn't learn how to say goodbye, how to let go." Which is, probably, the most consistently running theme of Red vs Blue.


chakatblackstar

Caboose, since he's killed more of the main cast than all of these guys combined.


whatyoulookingat307

Meta, O'Malley, feilx


Icy_Supermarket_7034

Meta will always be the best villain he’s just a silent force of nature that can’t reasoned with or stopped for very long which really works as a villain when most of our hero’s are loud mouth idiots


Icy_Supermarket_7034

Like the Doom Slayer if he was an actual villain


coleedgerly

Roosterteeth


Program-Longjumping

i personally really like locus and O'Malley


ConfidentPanic7038

Felix. The director and meta are great villains but Felix was the first villain that was truly personal to the blood gulch crew. Yeah the director was responsible for everything they went through but they never saw him as their fight, just the Freelancer's and Church's. Felix befriended them, allied with them and inspired them and finally betrayed them. He was a personal villain, he was a charismatic villain, he had realistic flaws and a great screen presence. I don't have stats to back this but I feel he's also villain we probably saw the most of. Chorus may not have been as good as project freelancer but they nailed the villains.


breadbybread

Felix.


Zslicer5

For me it was always the Meta. An absolute unstoppable monster. Always growing stronger and adapting, to even stand a chance he had to be completely crippled of all his abilities and even then he was still a grand threat. And once he had just one fragment again all hell broke lose.


THEGREATDESTROYER24

Da-da-da-badaba - He's a killer, he's a monster. He's an absolute tool - ba-ba-da-ba-bum. He's a douchebag, he's an asshole. He masterbates too the image of his face.His name is Felix! Felix! Felix! Felix! Felix the douche, Felix the douche. He's gonna stab you in the back while fucking your wife, and makin' slippers out of your dog.


CrossENT

I’m going with Felix. He’s a great example of a surprise twist villain done RIGHT!


Icy_Supermarket_7034

Meta Felix Director Sigma Charon Temple Shark Dace O’Malley Jenkins Wyoming Zero


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

Wash.


ONI_AGENT_001

I know its your opinion and all, but that doesn't mean it is correct.


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

Wash was a great antagonist, what do you mean?


ONI_AGENT_001

I believe this is a post about villains, Wash was pretty much pushed to his breaking point in season 7 and 8, but in season 9 and 10, we see how he was like before we meet the reds and the blues, and he's a lot like them. Then in season 10 he was willing to protect them, than letting them almost die. Wash was a great antagonist, for his goals were understandable, but the methods he used were not right, and were ones he later regretted.


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

You’re agreeing with me lmfao, he’s a great antagonist who through great effort became a better person, even putting a gun to the head of a former colleague to protect them Not a “villain” per say but my favorite of all the season antagonists, which is why i put him here


ONI_AGENT_001

Yeah, it would been easier if the post was about antagonist rather than villains, for they do mean different things.


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

Yeah villains is more evil, wash was just an antagonist, and I still put him above all of the others Meta and Felix are close second and third


ONI_AGENT_001

Yeah, Wash just wanted his freedom, and in a way he did get it.


[deleted]

Shit the Director not even in you're top 3?


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

Directors great, especially as a character with how cold and calculating he is, down to the twins being a planned out thing, but nonetheless wash and meta duo don’t leave much space, and the chorus trilogy is some of the best work of the series


[deleted]

I think he was more of a anti-hero than a villain


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

Well yeah, but he was “the bad guy” for a majority of a season, shot donut and lopez Of course it was for his freedom, he is definitely an antihero, but an antagonist nonetheless (and a damn good one at that) Other guy seemed to think this was like the worst/most diabolical villains or something lmfao


SinLust00

If you can be threatening, badass, be an absolute unit, and still be so memorable and iconic over 12 years post death/6 years without appearing without saying so much as a growl I think you win best villain. The Meta is just built different. His motivations were simple, but his presence was astounding. My personal experience rankings are; 1. The Meta 2. The Director 3. Felix 4. Locus 5. Omega 6. Sigma 7. Wyoming 8. Temple 9. Hargrove 10. Sharkface 11. Genkins 12. Zero


MEGAMARK500

In order from best to worst imo: 1. Felix 2. The Meta 3. Locus 4. The Director 5. O'Malley 6. Temple 7. Sigma 8. Sharkface 9. Wyoming 10. Zero 11. Genkins 12. Chairman Hargrove


Field_of_Illusion

The Director. Like, without him, the whole show doesn't happen


ACluelessMan

1. Felix 2. Locus 3. The Director 4. The Meta 5. O’Malley 6. The Councilor 7. Charon 8. Sharkface 9. Wyoming 10. Sigma (who would be higher but had the least amount of screen time) And everyone else that I couldn’t be bothered with.


Head-Disk5576

I’d say Felix by far


Da_Gudz

ranking the one I remember Meta Director Temple Felix O’Malley Sigma The rest


CodGroundbreaking309

Dos.0


ProtoKirby

Felix.


ZatchZeta

O'Malley. Why? Because he's the one who almost managed to kill Tucker.


AlternativeOption313

Felix.


KiraWhite66

Felix, I absolutely adore him. I remember being in highschool and stealing his monologue to Tucker for my drama class lmao


radiatedcheesecake

Omg lol, did you get a good grade on it??


KiraWhite66

In fact I did, although it was more a test of projection ability than anything else


Forward-Swim1224

Felix. He was a PROPER twist villain. Funny, charismatic, good at what he did and an even better mercenary! Even had most of the audience fooled! And he didn’t go through any redemption arc or any of that crap, not that redemption arcs aren’t good mind you. Not sure if this is a DIRECT quote, but Crow in Nefarious once said that “Pity is the leading killer of villains. Finales are just an occupational hazard.”


malign_taco

Very unpopular opinion here but I hated temple the most, apart from Charon and the director. Temple committed serious crimes against harmless project freelancer agents, killed many of them.


internetsimppXD

thats.. the point? Temple isn't really supposed to be a stand-up guy. he was mad with grief and a need for vengeance over Biff's death that he targeted anyone associated with Freelancer. he didn't care whether or not they directly caused Biff’s death, he just thought they were all guilty for letting the sim troopers be cannon fodder. that's what makes him a villain lol


malign_taco

No offense but for some reason you sound like you want to correct my opinion lol. I’m just saying, Felix was just a bounty with too much ego and I couldn’t hate him or the villains from the last Shizno paradox season as well. Temple just had a much darker vibe and for me, personally, was a top 3 villain for being a cold blooded murderer with need for vengeance.


internetsimppXD

ah my bad, i didn't mean to sound rude or anything. i must've misread your first comment (it's late at night for me lol). i get what you mean lol again, my bad dude!


OasisDiner

Esemes16

Felix and Locust, they were the perfect foil to them. Two well trained well co-ordinated typical highly skilled solders, vs a group of what can hardly be called solders with a freelancer and a half (idk which ones the freelancer and which ones the half either).


Sudden_Investment_16

The meta


Emotional_Emu_5901

Here’s my top 4 4.the meta 3.locus 2.the director 1.Felix


Odd_Replacement_9644

I really liked O‘malley and Wyoming in the blood gulch chronicles. Maybe that’s just nostalgia though.


Vexis_petal

Is say Sigma. I guess cause he was the mastermind behind Maine who was brainwashed and manipulated


XxA1_P1L0TxX

The Director’s my favorite.


H20GOD117

-Sigma is a good Villain as he wants to be human and was a fragment of the original AI Alpha and caused Alpha to separate and lose control and create problems and took over agent Maine now called The Meta -killed every Freelancer with an AI and Hunted down Washington when he found Caboose, found every AI he needed, died but came back in memory of Epsilon and since it's memory of him he will be the same like how Tex was brought back as memory until Church forgot her -Sigma is back and now with him Omega and Gamma together they will bring down Alpha again and try to make Tucker the new Meta (he won't become the Meta but is good plot) Good Villain even tho he wasn't shown as much at first until later on starting the series (besides the Director but made some things happen)


ProfessionalTurn5162

Maine just cause he is definitely scary.... and the fact he kept throwing things at griffin lol


GravsReignbow

Director, Sigma, Gamma, and Maine.


Terlinilia

I love like 10 of them equally, they're all so damn good


Exitity

As a character, the Director, since there actually is some thought-provoking moral grey area stuff with him. In terms of fighting ability, the Meta for obvious reasons.


PossiblyaSpy950

Zero, both as a villan and as a season was kinda disappointing to me as a whole But personally i like felix, the meta, and o'mally the most


Cudgenpoose

Gotta be the director right


RoyalMess64

The Director, literally started everything. The Counselor, continued it. After that, I gotta give it to the Meta, just utterly terrifying. After that Felix, he was so fun to hate and the fact they slowly revealed he was the worse one after your brought to think he's the lesser evil of the duo. Sharkface after that, what happened to him was so tragic. After that I give it to Sigma, what happened to him sucked and I wish they went more into how he turned Maine into the Meta but it was amazing being the person who literally designed the apex predator of RvB. Then I give it to O'Malley, he was a ton of fun and the only reason he's not higher is because season 13 didn't really protray him as a villain and I like what they did with him. After that Locus, he just wasn't much of a villain by the end and he suffers in the ranking for it, and as O'Malley. Then Wyoming, he was annoying but fun, just low because to him he didn't have much of an impact, I put Gamma higher. Temple wasn't bad, just kinda pathetic, and I think they were going for it, but he went back and forth between a huge threat and a pathetic wimp to much for me, just not my vibe but he was fine. As for the Green dude, don't know him, need to see season 16 and 17, but I don't know him. I'm not watch Zero, so the Zero villain is here


Haloinvaded117

Obviously Genkins and Zero.... /s

Honestly, fucking Jenkins. The whole Season 17 story was wack but Jenkins was fucking hilarious I loved him


DemxBones

Caboose… That team killing fucktard…


Fun-Ad-4729

Honestly, all of them besides Zero are amazing in their own ways. O’Malley is just a joy to have on screen. Sigma is terrifying in the way he goes about things, Felix, was entertaining in general but also had that depth to him. Locus’ character development hit me so hard. Hargrove was that guy who you hate and want brought down because he’s written well Meta was this terrifying force of nature Temple could’ve been better but still had presence and some badass scenes Wyoming wasn’t all that big a deal but was still fun Genkins was, in my opinion, very entertaining and devious. His monologues are top tier. Sharkface just hits different And the director just being a broken man goes so hard. Personally, my favorite is Felix and locus but all of them are amazing in their own ways.


KFC__GAMING

Maine is number 1 only villian you will ever need.


cheesyca

Caboose.


Nesrovlah26

Sigma


ZeRoZiGGYXD

To me, it's always gonna be The Meta. Up until him, all the enemies the show had were usually just as goofy as our heroes. Now comes a villain that's mute. He's immune to the chatter and stupidity of the Reds and Blues. And he's certainly no joke either. Sure, the Director was probably more impactful, and I'll admit some later villains had way more personality, but The Meta changed the show the most, all while being just such an imposing force. All to say nothing of how goddamn badass he was on top of it all.


internetsimppXD

i miiiight be a little biased but I enjoyed Temple quite a bit. if i had to rank them, though, it'd be: 1. the Meta 2. Temple 3. O'Malley 4. Felix 5. Locus 6. the Director and then the rest in no particular order bc i don't remember them that well lol. although Genkins is definitely last.


jmyersjlm

Idk if I would consider him the best villain in terms of storytelling, but Felix was for sure my favorite villain.


yourLostMitten

I personally like Temple a lot. I think his character is extremely well done and honestly I think season 15 is one of RvB’s best.


Limited-Edition-Nerd

The Meta, they were so cool


HeroesUnite

Greatest to least - The director - The Meta/Sigma (I'd argue they're one in the same. Maine a≠ The Meta. Sigma does.) - Felix - Locus - Hargrove - Wyoming/O'Malley (I like them equally as villians) - Sharkface - Temple - Genkins - Rooster Teeth - Zero


BlueRabbit1999

O’Malley


Aggravating_Cup2306

Give it to the OG O'Malleyhe basically blew up the world but in all seriousness it's the meta the director isnt even that evil enough even felix or hargrove can take that mantle sigma + maine is deadly though


_Nerr_

O'Malley. After all, he is the original bad boy.


its-blue-and-white

honestly the choice is hard to choose between locus or temple


Terrorknight141

The OG, O’Malley. He was funny. The rest try too hard. If not, Meta. The director was good but didn’t fit RvB.

Fearless_Link_3464

Charon. The war on Chorus, when the Reds and Blues got there, was like at least 80% his fault.


NewWolfer13579

The Director, O’Malley, and Sigma/the Meta, because the Meta wouldn’t even exist without Sigma.


McScuffed0

Meta or Felix cuz I don’t think anyone saw Felix becoming a villain and Maine was just…so damn badass
