Vegeta. I loved him as a bad guy. He also seems more constructive when he's in that role for some reason. (The amount of strategy he used during the Freeza episodes was amazing!)

One word, pride. Vegeta's saiyan pride was too strong to not face the challenge of perfect Cell after he said "If I had my perfect body I could defeat you".

For me it's a tie between Cell and Freeza. I like Freeza because he's evil but polite about it. That and I love his original voice actor. I don't know why I like Cell so much. He's just a really cool bad guy to me. I really don't care for Majinn Buu though. He's just evil for the sake of being evil which I really don't find all that interesting.
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

Cell and Kid Boo are my favorites.

Cell was evil because it was fun. He enjoyed fighting new and stronger opponents to test his own skill. He was like an evil Goku.

Kid Boo, on the other hand, was just pure mindless evil. He killed and destroyed without even thinking about it. I like him because he doesn't hesitate or think, he just destroys it because it's there and he can.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Word. He made a great villain (Saiya-jin, Freeza, early Buu) and a likeable enough hero (late Buu, GT), but an irritating and shitty anti-hero (Cell).

That is, and always has been, a lame-ass excuse. Vegeta rightly deserved the ass reaming he took from that.
I'm completely with you that he deserved the ass beating that ensued, but when has Vegeta ever turned down a chance to test his real power, why do you think he keeps trying to fight Goku?

I think Vegeta should have been killed by Cell for his over confidence.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Tao Pai Pai. He kills Blue with is tongue of all things! Then he breaks a column with a light touch and kick, and flings it accurately for thousands of kilometers and hops on for a ride. Then he pummels Goku as if it weren't much of a chore.

Also, he influenced designs for Shishio's blind swordsman from Kenshin, and Lau from Virtua Fighter, who's daughter happens to be named Pai (Lau Pai Pai?)

Did he really have an influence on the blind swordsman from Rurouni Kenshin? I had no idea, you never know when Dragonball is gonna pop up somewhere where you least expect it.

Freeza and Cell tied in first place.
Majin Buu (all forms) in second.
Piccolo Daimao in third.

It's no more idiotic than him daring Freeza to transform in to his second form or him not just blasting Zarbon right away, the first time they fought

Who else thinks that Raditz could have had a bigger role as a villain? He was pretty cool. Too bad he wasn't that strong.

Dude, start a new thread if you want to talk about that, that's actually not a bad idea so take it to a new thread.

Yea, on the 66th page of book 14 of the Viz Kenshin, he states that people thought he was inspired by Lau, but it was actually Tao.

That's all fine and dandy, but you don't need to come back to this one and tell me that. Moderate your posts and think if you actually need to say it before you post it. For example, you don't need to come back and respond to the post I just made.

The usual suspects - Freeza, Cell and Ma Jr. in no particular order.

For reasons unknown, I've also got a soft spot for Tullece -
