Which of the vilains from the Firefly 'verse is your favorite? My personal favorite would have to be Badger. Sad little king of a sad little hill.

Didn't the Blue Hand Guys make anyone else twitchy? Gotta go with the Alliance all through.

All of them...better worlds. Ack.

Niska was only scary when he had the upper hand.

Badger was kinda cute. He's not a badass villain - he'd just like to be.

Saffron would be fun as a recurring nemesis. 'Cos Mal was prepared to go to the Special Hell...

Favorite bady: Badger as well.

Most villainous: The Operative, Their's nothing scarier than a person who belives that much in what he's doing, and that it's the RIGHT thing to do.

even scarier, there are people like that in the real world...

but Badgers my favourite non-protagonist character, but he dosen't quite qualify for villian. Saffron is also a good character... but the operative, definitely most villainous.

Niskas just a wimpy sadist with (money, business, influential) power.

I'd have to go with Jubal Early. Crow comes in a close second though just because he looks so cool, or did before he got shoved into an engine.

Early. Niska scares me more. In fact, watching him in War Stories gives me a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach, but Early is the villain I love to hate.

I'm choosing Saffron because she is the complete opposite of Mal and his crew. He said it best when he told her how he people he can depend on. She just rolled her eyes and laughed at that. She's cold. I like where she ended up in "Trash".
Poetic justice.

Fav. would be Safron, tho' Badger is fun to watch. I also had to consider some the ones not mentioned yet: the cutthroat Patience, the ornery Stitch and, of course, the bumbling Dobson.

Edit: As to creepifying, there is that whole "reaver" thing.

Jubal Early. He was just awsome (and also a lion). He's dangaerous and truly psychotic, but he's also so poetic, philosophical that I am drawn to him. I really like him.

Sorry, but Badger isn't a villan.

He a professional middleman and fixer, and in that line of business, a certain level of ruthlessness and of course, nameless thugs are just a part of business as usual.

Badger doesn't actively try to hurt the BDH, nor does he try to especially help them, he just sees that the work is done, and everything is followed through (taking the crew hostage in Shindig) was just a way to stop them busting Mal out of Wing's house, and ultimately causing trouble for badger.

In light of that, it was just self interest, not villiany that causes him to ber nasty, but he's not a baddy.

Can i say Fanty & Ningo from the BDM. It cracks me up the way they say 'domestic troubles'.

From the BDS tho it'd have to be badger.

Saffron is my favorite villain because she had the good sense to make Mal take off his pants. What...not a good enough reason? I actually liked Jobal Early the best, with his weird philosophies and scariness. The guy who played him was an incredible actor as well.

I see Badger as a villain because in the show he is an opposing force to our heroes. Technically, yes he does give them jobs and do business, but he is shown as someone opposing the main characters.
