Hmm, it depends how you see your "Bad Guys", but i've always found the enemies in "Avatar The Last Airbender" being amazingly well throught out, animated and voice acted.
If I had to pick my favourite it would definately be Azula, daughter to the Fire Lord, sister to the heir and exile. Drawn to power and able to get it, highly trained, sophisticated, and not above manipulating people to get her own ways. She's cold, calculated and can shoot fire from her hands.
My favourite aspect of all though has to be her descent into madness through her own scheming, especially her unresolved issues with her mother's dissapearence and her friend's betrayal of her...though it's more of a coming to their senses moment as Azula moves to destroy what they love.
I actually watched that show front to back recently. I was impressed, especially since it's a children's show.
As far as bad guys go, I'm a fan of Bill the Butcher from the movie Gangs of New York.
Also Riviera from my favorite book called Neuromancer. He has 'subliminal' implants. Basically, he can make others see what he imagines, and he's a pure scumbag.
