Keeping with the Halloween theme, let's exploit some peoples' fear of clowns, shall we?
Piedmon of the Dark Masters in season 1 of Digimon was, for me, one of those villans you just love to hate.
When he was dubbed, it was as if the writers were channeling earlier incarnations of The Joker as quite a few pieces of his dialogue were centered around acting puns ("It will be their final performance!" "Thank you for the jump start, Wargreymon. Now I am ready for the main event." "Tada! Thank you ladies and gentlemen. You've been a wonderful audience, good night!") And his powers are not to be taken lightly, phantom swords, and reality distorting powers.
