In continuity you have to go with the Joker for D.C., Doom for Marvel and Dr Randall Rowling in the Wildstorm Universe.

For Miniseries and one off Graphic Novels; its a toss up between Kid Miracle and Ozymandias.

In history i thinks its got to be between Nero and Heinrich Himmler.

Agreed. Except for the history bit. 😄

What about history of fiction?

I suppose Iago and Lady Macbeth would have to be up there. Haven't read Faust or Paradise Lost, but they supposedly involve the Devil.

Iago would be a fantastic candidate ✅

Highly recommend the tragical history of Dr Faustus. Milton's Paradise Lost is......a bit hit and miss IMO. ✅

And you're entitled to that interpretation. I've no idea where your basis for this interpretation is, it appears to be lacking sufficient evidence in my eyes, and I'd assume that you were making a cheap joke at the fact that I raised enough ambiguity (in my mind at least) to knock Mephistopheles from the top spot. I'd even go as far as to argue your interpretation had very little grounding in the text itself and could only be drawn from the historical context for the play (which in itself is ambigious- not a very reliable interpretation.) Whereas my interpretation at the very lesat had a basis in the play itself.

I'd also argue that my interpretation also holds weight in the fact that it is held by a vast number of people. Whilst this may not mean I'm necessarily right, something can be said for the credibility of this interpretation 😛

At the very least we are both in agreement that ambiguity can make a world of difference as to who wins this title ✅

I haven't read anything Faust related and don't particularly care for Mephistopheles. I just didn't agree with the idea that the mere existence of a solitary interpretation from one person should hold any weight here.

Well I'm forced to disagree cos it's my opinion 😛 But fair enough 😄

I like the LOST references in your title/location btw.

I've recently become addicted to the show.

Have you been watching season 5????? It's so fast paced and so many unanswered questions are starting to bear fruit, I'm creaming myself 😐
