There are not a whole lot of hot Villainesses in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. These are my Top Five Favorites. Each one is an evil bea-otch that uses her womanhood to ruin men or are just plain evil-crazy and reminds me of someone I used to know. Descending Order:
Bellatrix Lestrange – ‘Harry Potter’. She’s crazy and lethal and the only Helen Carter character that is somehow a turn on. That and she reminds me of a girl I dated way back when. Yes, she was that frightening.
Boomer – ‘Battlestar Galactica’. Innocent and disarming… until she gets close enough. And then she’ll kill you.
Mystique – ‘X-Men’. She can look like anyone… smart… strong… quick… and pretty dang cold hearted. She also runs around scantily clad.
Sorsha – ‘Willow’. She lead the Army of an evil witch… Hunted the innocent… and she’s a Red Head. Which makes her almost the scariest of the lot.
The last of the evil lot is Number Six from Battlestar Galactica. She’s the kind of horrible witch that gets in your head and you can’t get out. Just ask Baltar. She’s strong and smart and as cold as your freezer.
Each one of these Lethal Ladies has characteristics and qualities that can be found in most of the women that I know. Especially my wife.
I think I should be worried.
I was slightly suprised that Harley Quinn was not listed!
Who is that? What movie is she in?
Harley Quinn is a character from Batman. She is more or less the Joker’s sidekick.
I’d add Elektra King from “The World Is Not Enough”….she’s cold…and hot….

Bond Chicks are a whole different category…
Samara from “The Ring” ? (wait, are we going for hot or threatening?)
Dracula’s brides from “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” (these are both hot and threatening.)
Baroness from GI Joe.
Those were both hard to decide on… Baroness is evil-hot – which I like. But I hate GI Joe enough to drop her from contention. The 3 Vamp Brides was also very tough.
When I was a child, I got nightmares from Maleficent, in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. I still think she is one of the most frightening characters in the movies.
She is absolutely a fantastic villainess… But I limited my list to 5. She’d be there if it was a top ten.
Was Servalan in the running?
Who? Enlighten me.
She was a recurring villan in Blake’s 7.
She started out as the supreme commander of the armed forces of the Terran Federation (a galaxy-spanning facist dictatorship), then became president, possibly by means of a military coup.
She was believed killed and denounced by her successors. In fact she survived and adopted an alias in order to rebuild her power, making sure she killed anyone that could identify her.
She even managed to win a few times. Since it seems all the heroes were apparently killed in the final episode she may have won overall too.
Ah, that’s right. Yes, she was an excellent example of what I was going for.
-Kerrigan from StarCraft, hero of the Terran forces. She was left behind in a heroic suicide mission, but was taken by the Zerg and made into an abomination, their deadliest leader.
-Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled.
-Sorsha was soft. She turned to the good side

Kerrican is a great choice.
