Fan FAQs
Who's the #1 contender on GoatWars in the Greatest Cartoon Villains of All Time league?
The Joker from 'Batman: The Animated Series' tops the list as the #1 contender in the league. He's a fan favorite for his chaotic nature and psychological complexity. You can see how he stacks up against other notorious villains on the GOAT List.
What makes Skeletor from 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe' so popular?
Skeletor's popularity hinges on his unforgettable design and quirky personality. With a skull for a face and a voice that ranges from menacing to hilariously sardonic, he's as much a meme as a villain, which endears him to both old fans and new audiences.
Why is Maleficent leading so significantly over Skeletor in the Greatest Cartoon Villains of All Time league?
Maleficent's iconic status in the world of Disney villains really pulls in the votes. Her chilling presence, memorable evil deeds, and that dramatic transformation into a dragon capture the imagination more vividly than most, making her a tough one to beat, especially for a character from a less universally beloved franchise like Skeletor.
