The last topic relating to this topic was a backfire.  (I forgot to post a poll.)

I have collected several sources on several sci-fi materials this community is familiar with.  Please poll your most memorable arch-enemy from these sources and post replies regarding them.

My answer would have to be Lore from TNG.
Although he didn't appear much, he was one hell of a nemesis and could kick Data's @ss anyday!
If you want species specific, then I would have to say either the Dominion from DS9 or the flood from Halo

Shivans. Why?

1.They have probably unlimited resources or energies to use against enemies.
2. Shivans' don't act like humans or Vasudans. They are unpredictible (with small exeption to mission designers:))

Thats why Shivans are nightmare to anybody, from fighter pilot to highest command of space fleets.

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart

Any bad guy who was the result of a photcopying error isn't really that scary. Besides Professor Monkeyforahead was much better :D

Sort of a tie between Shivans and Nod for me. SHODAN (SS/SS2) and Walton Simons (DX) were pretty good too.

If the storyline was better, the zerg would have been the most scary.

The Master from Fallout, creep mess 'o talking ****.  Plus he had high-minded (if crazy) ideals.
If happiness is a warm gun and love is a battlefield, why should we give peace a chance?

The Strangers from Dark City. They had the getup, they had the evil, they had the creepy-ass little kid. What more could you want? Oh yeah, the telekinesis and cool-ass knives.

Or God. God was kinda overdone, but he was pretty cool- sadistic, near-omnipotent, army of rabid zealot followers. Wouldn't care to take him on, but so long as he stays in fiction that's a thumbs up. Wouldn't mind being him, either- kinda like Blofield but you have to talk in Hebrew.

EDIT to Kali: Regarding the second thread Rampage made on the topic, I'd guess that he forgot to add a poll, so he edited the post without saying so, thus making him look dumb and annoying at the same time. It's just a theory though.

Apophis is dumb... He gets killed too easily :p Though the "taking the Tauri with me" was a nice sentiment :p

Considering every other system lord only lasted maybe 2-3 encounters with SG-1, I think Apophis was quite an effective arch-enemy.
