Wikipedia's "List of 181 Literary Villains"

Welcome to the meanest of the mean, the vilest of the vile--the villains that filled us with loathing, made us squirm, and filled the souls of even pacifist readers with the desire for the bad guy's blood...NOTE: Certain series of books, such as James Bond or The Chronicles of Narnia, appear to be over represented on this list. NOTE: The novels on this list were all so popular, with strong visuals, that they were all adapted as films, cartoons, comic books, or television programs.
