Greatest Villain Tournament
 
Thought It'd be fun to try putting together a tournament... but with VILLAINS!!! :devil: Anyways everybody gets to nominate two villains until we get 32 of em, and then I'll start the brackets :)

My nominations: Norman Bates from Psycho and Palpatine from ROTJ.

EDIT: This tournament is done not to determine which villains would win in a fight, but rather which ones are the favorites of the MoFo community :)

You should consider keeping a running list of all the nominees in the first post so people don't have to go through every post to see who has already been suggested, and to avoid repeats. :)

Good suggestion. This isn't based on how many nominations right? Just if they've been nominated once?

Correct. If the villain is in here, the villain is in the Tourney. :cool:
