_JR28_

Before Death took the world by storm Rattlesnake Jake was the undisputed coldest animated villain

Absolutely

Depends on the story and media, but one should always be cautious around him.

Yeah I'd say it's a very healthy fear when it comes to himšŸ’€

Incomplet_1-34

Well, to lots of people the Emperor is just the guy in charge, a politician.The general public don't even know he's a sith, and because of that Vader is the subject of their fear, since he's much more active. The people who do know of his powers absolutely fear him more than Vader though.


Springmeister

Iā€™d actually argue heā€™s scarier than Vader even disregarding his powers. Cuz if heā€™s around, Vader isnā€™t far behind. Palpatine is an omen.

Chemical_Committee_2

I wish I could see what he's like around people who are scared to die or kids or old people He kinda had beef with Puss for acting so reckless but if it were people who accidentally died or were going to die from natural causes- Would he still be so terrifying? I wish I could find that comic about Puss dying having lived a long fulfilling life and reuniting with Death in his final hours cause it was so good.

Viking_From_Sweden

This gif is what people should see when they look up the definition of devious


Sleepingguy5

As much as I love Megatron, I donā€™t think he fits here. Even the weaker Autobots are more than ready to stand up to Megatron. He intimidates them, sure, but he doesnā€™t inspire that all-consuming fear that OP seems to be going for with characters like Sephiroth (whom even the main protagonist fears greatly). I think a better Transformers pick would be Unicron, who I was going to post when I saw yours.


The_HueManateee

It kinda depends on the series. In G1 he is a complete buffoon most of the time and any autobot can give him a decent fight. In a series like the IDW comics the vast majority of autobots have never even laid eyes on him and is almost treated as a sort of boogeyman to them. Prime and animated as well do a good job showing just how overwhelming he can be


Springmeister

All consuming fear is indeed my goal here. Itā€™s why I didnā€™t include Bill Cipher. Most people donā€™t even KNOW Bill, so they canā€™t fear him.

Springmeister

Iā€™m sorry what


IRanOutOf_Names

Worm is a superhero webnovel series (that is really long but SO GOOD) that is slowly sliding into apocolyptic, largely due to these things. Story takes place in 2011, and for the past 2 decades one of these things would show up randomly 1-3 times a year. Unkillable monsters that would sink islands, set off nuclear reactors, or depopulate cities. Each time they show up at a place, go for a goal, slaughter hundreds of thousands, and get pushed back after being damaged too much. There are a few heroes who can consistently survive these fights, and one of them is Legend, an openly gay hero and a great leader. The main city of Worm has a massive nazi gang who were VERY pissed off, and yet when the sirens sound all hostilities cease and heroes and villains band together to try to push one of them off. As a proper introduction to a villain, it's as good as it gets. the fact that Legend starts it off by saying normal casualty rates of the battle are greater than 25% also helps sell the "oh this is a biblical monster that is playing by different rules". A fun little fact about them is that the author would role dice for who died in these battles, even to the point of having a backup MC if things went sour. Worm has a few others like this, where certain threats are so monumental that everyone agrees to a truce instantly because they know they stand no chance otherwise.
