Frollo's plan to eliminate all gypsies in Paris was pretty good in my opinion.

 

And no matter how much damage he caused for Paris,he still believed he was

a saint. 

 

Not to mention.

Kefka pushing three magical statues out of alignment, so the world wold be torn apart, seemed to work really well.

[Windseeker 546]

Sebastian Shaw from X-Men First Class and his plan to force the USA and USSR into a nuclear war.

[man dude man 555]

I would have to say Bane was probably the most organized of any fictional villian I have ever seen.

[Castle Bleck 19,172]

The Joker just being all over the place in TDK and the Arkham games.

[Something Floaty 1,333]

All of the plans I can think of that are well thought out, executed well, intelligent, cunning, and nearly foolproof were all ruined by the sudden incompetency and stupidity of their creators.

[Zhortac 1,473]

Dr. Gangrene's plan to take over the world in the old Attack of the Killer Tomatoes cartoon. Why? Because it worked...he won in the end. 

[N.W. 3,619]

Putting dozens of Red Barrels all around the place, particularity the base.

Every. Single. Time.

I thought Ursula's plan in The Little Mermaid was really good. She tricked Ariel into giving up her voice, then used it to bewitch the prince into marrying her instead. What's creepy about this is that she had a secret plan the whole time, but she didn't let anyone know about it.

[GrauWitz 1,010]

Lex Luthor's plan from Superman: The Movie

 

Here's the plan. He tampered with the co-ordinates of two nucleur missiles that the U.S Army were gonna test out. The new co-ordinates of the nukes would bring them to areas close to the San Andreas fault, which would cause an earthquake so massive that California would sink into the Pacific Ocean (because fuck logic). But, Superman threw one of the nukes into space, so the plan failed. Yet the other missile hit it's target, causing an earthquake that made Hoover Dam burst and the Golden Gate bridge to almost collapse. Pretty apocalyptic plan (yet so awesome at the same time )

The evil plans of Clive, from Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

 

Okay, his tragic backstory made this guy PSYCHOTIC. With his endless wealth, he built an entire steampunk London underneath London itself. Working with a vengeful man of different motives, he had famous scientists all around London kidnapped and taken to this underground city, forcing them to think he'd taken them through time itself to ten years in the future, and that the only way they would be allowed to get back home would be to complete a time machine. However, he also had the scientists work on a different project: The building of a giant, gun/cannon-covered mecha capable of crushing and destroying London with ease. The only way destroying the thing was even possible was to manage to get inside of it and take it down from there. And even then, it was well fortified, full of complex puzzles to slow down and halt any who stand in the way.

 

Honestly, if the henchmen weren't a bunch of idiots and Clive didn't have part of himself want Layton to stop him, he could have easily torn London to the ground, in a heartbeat (Haha, humor that only makes sense to those who've played it)

Master Asia had the manliest plan of all manly plans

Hopefully, Clive's main target will be an @$$hole Victim in a future game.

 

 

^His obituary would cure cancer.

Hopefully, Clive's main target will show up as an @$$hole Victim in a future installment.

 

 

^His obituary will likely be the cure to depression and/or cancer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

There aren't enough carat keys in the world to show how much truth this holds.

 

Maybe someone'll hire De Killer on his ass and be done with it.

... Though, knowing Layton, he'll probably try and avenge the man's death.

I swear, Layton's goody-two-shoes side is so inconvenient sometimes...

 

(Also, if only there WERE any future Layton installments... T_T)

Fire Lord Ozai's plan to burn the Earth Kingdom in fire in an effort to win the war. By far, one of the most evil plans I've ever seen.

 

Though, the winning plan is the Sith's Grand Plan to eradicate the Jedi.

[Castle Bleck 19,172]

One for the antiheroes:

 

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright's Xanatos Gambit via forged evidence in 4-1: if Kristoph Gavin revealed the forgery (which he did), he'd also self-implicate, but if he kept quiet, the fake would likely convict him the usual way.

Professor Norton Nimnul began a spree of large scale robbery when he invented a way to manipulate/negate gravity. He wove his technology (Room temperature superconductive wire?) into carpets. As the vaguely insulting stereotype Ali-Bimbo the carpet weaver and salesman, he sold them to rich people. Claiming he needed to "Take out the curl" from the carpets, he would pile all the expensive stuff in the room onto the carpets. Late at night, the carpets would fly all the swag back to his hideout. He was getting away with it, until the Rescue Rangers nailed all the carpets down in one of the mansions. The entire building took off, and homed in on Nimnul's mobile command center/delivery van. The rangers steered the building by having Monty scare the humans. making them run back and forth enabled them to miss colliding with skyscrapers in their unexpected flight. Nimnul raced back to his headquarters (A carpet store) and cut the main power. (Nimnul perfected broadcast power! Nikola Tesla would be proud!) Oops, the mansion landed on and crushed his headquarters! 

 

Even as a kid, I wondered why he didn't just sell his anti-gravity carpets. He would have become a billionaire overnight!  

 

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, production episode three, eleventh episode telecast. First broadcast,  May 7th, 1989

Mecha-Hitler - Wolfenstein 3D.
His entire plan consisted of being Hitler. That's pretty damn hard to beat...

MLP:

 

Sombra. Dude does NOT get the villain cred he deserves! He hid the only means to defeat him away behind layers upon layers of magical traps, instilled such fear in his slaves that they would not or even could not fathom the way to challenge him, and he didn't even need to BE THERE for most of the episode and he almost won!

 

Non-MLP:

 

-Darth Sideous' plan to take over the Galaxy. Chiefly because, IT WORKED! Apart from that, he masterfully played both sides of a war that he engineered, to bring the one of the longest lasting democratic superpowers in fictional history to the point it would vote him as the absolute dictator. Sure, he eventually failed, but his actual plan was pulled off completely successfully.

 

-Organization XIII's plan to access Kingdom Hearts. This was one of those genius Batman Gambits, where the planner just has to set the stage for the hero and let them do what they do naturally, but that action ends up furthering their goals. They needed Kingdom Hearts to be filled with hearts, to the point of bursting open. So they used their own control of the Heartless and just let them loose upon the various worlds. Sora, the hero he is, would not sit back and let the Heartless hurt people, so he had no choice but to slay the Heartless and free the captured hearts. It's one of "the best" because the hero was a pawn to their machinations for the longest time, and even after it's revealed to him his role, he has no choice but to continue to play that part until he can find where they are and challenge them directly.

^Brohoofed for Sombra and Sidious.

 

Sadly, though, XIII's cred pretty much went...

To be honest, what killed it was really the fanfiction.

 

Good GOD, you think we're bad with shipping and smut?!

 

Suddenly they went from these mysterious, amoral, personified voids of existence into whiny, barely coherent, Edward Cullen clones!
