For me, my favorite villian in the Sly series is either Clokwerk or the Contessa. With Clokwerk, it is kinda obvious why I picked him, so I wont go into details. Why do I like the Contessa? She is, in my opinion, about as evil as Clokwerk. She made her mark on me by attacking the Cooper Gang's and Carmalita's minds. With Sly it was that hole in the ground that tried to make him feel helpless. With Murry it was drugs and hypnosis to turn him on the gang. She even gets to Bently, albiet unknowingly, by making him be alone and fear for his adoptive family. (I conssider the Cooper Gang to be a family. They all treat eachother as such.) And who can forget trying bto brainwash Carmalita into a slave? The Contessa earned a place on my list of fictional charachters to kill lis with ease. She fits my definition of evil. Perhaps the only one who trumps her on that scale is The Baron Harkonen from Dune (great movie at least the original one). She is the personification of mental torture. That and both of her levels go as far as possible to bring fear to you. Sly even brings it up in the opening cutscene for "A Tangled Web" by calling it "a Gothic nightmare". She truly is one of the bes Sly villians ond one of the best villians in any video game that I have ever played.
