It lists Dark Samus/SA-X and then completely forgets about the SA-X part. Did they not realize that they're two separae things? And while I'm glad Mother Brain got a Top 10 spot, Ridley is missing. He's like Metroid's second mascot character after Samus.
Woo for Ganondorf at #3, and Bowser should have been #1. He is, if anything, the most famous.
Too many were simply not from videogames, and too many were just villainous organizations (Covenant, Team Rocket, etc.)
Heh, I too found it odd how they treated Dark Samus and SA-X as the same character/entity.

But yeah, they should've just narrowed it down to one character in particular, instead including a whole group.
IGN has a fundamental misunderstanding between three things:
Antagonist, Rival, and Villain.
An antagonist isn't necessarily evil, such as donkey-kong, but is the main obstacle in the path of the protagonist. Another Ex. is carmen sandiego. wtf is she on this list?
A rival is someone who is trying to do a similar thing as you first or better, and thus is annoying. Gary oak, for instance. Also, anyone in a racing game.
A villain is an antagonist who is evil, such as gannon or joker or kain.

He's the quintessential villain. He's done it all. The way this list was run, it still should gave been Bowser.
No?
Then he is not even as evil as a Disney villain. 😐
