Hate them, love them, love to hate them...Villains are one of the favored archetypes in fiction.

Like it or not, there's something compelling about a good villain.  Whether the stereotypical bad guy, sympathetic anti-hero or the detestable hero, we all love to hate or hate to love the dastardly man (or woman) shrouded in black nature.

As we put a spotlight on the nominees from various categories, it's fun to dig into and wallow in these characters that make us love to see them be bad.  Maybe we root for them.  Maybe they're the catalyst for major change in our favorite characters.  Maybe we just like a little good, old fashioned whump.  But no matter which way you slice it, we're not alone.  

Check out some of the nominees below and what fans had to say about them!
