Badass Villains:
Jon, thank you for bringing this bad boy up, today's badass is the Nightmare King from Little Nemo, the best image I could get for this is from a game, but its good enough:http://www.planetnintendo.com/thewarpzone/ln/nmking.gif
Nightmares are the things which form deep in our minds and then reveal themselves in our sleep. They make us sweat, they make us wake up crying, they even sometimes make us wet the beds. In Slumber Land, the Nightmare King has sway over all nightmares. From his big, black, incredibly cliche castle in his homeland (Nightmare Land conveniently enough) he spreads his terror across the world. He abducts the good King ....Jon, I've forgotten his name, I think it was Morpheus or something like that...ANYHOO!! Little Nemo, a young boy who is clearly suffering from some kind of mental illness (just look at the dreams he has) must go and save the King so that he can save Slumber Land and win the girl, thats right! Of course, it was his fault that the King was abducted in the first place. He was given a key by the King and told that there was one door in all of Slumber Land that he shouldnt open (minus all the others which may be opened at his leisure) but just this one shouldnt be opened. Why the king would trust a young boy he's never met before with this knowledge is beyond me. Well, with the help of a little curiosity and the influence of a michevous clown guy (cant remember his name either) what does he go and do...he opens the goddam door. And all hell breaks loose. Then he has to go and make amends for his mistake by going to Nightmare Land to stop the one who's responsible. Of course, Nemo didnt take into account the Nightmare King was like 80 feet high and was just as mean and bad as he looked. all I can say is this mother fucker is one mean Badasss! Not only does he look the part, but he also apparently doesnt have any compunction about killing a wee little boy. Personally, I think the Nightmare King could've smushed Nemo anytime he wanted to, but he kept delaying and chose to have some fun with the boy first (Paedophile?) anyways, when he finally DID act, Nemo blows off his hand, yep, with a sceptre the King gave him. Now Nighty Boy gets reaaaallly angry and starts sucking up everything in his path, literally with his mouth. But then Nemo chants the magic incantation which turns the sceptre into a canon and blasts the Nighty Boy's ass away. Well now, instead of sucking up everything, he couldve just smashed the pillar that Nemo and the others were standing on and let them fall to certain death, but that probably wouldve gone against the whole idea that good guys are supposed to win, instead he just sat there and sucked up the air with the hopes that something (Nemo) would fly into his mouth so he could munch him up. Besides his many failings, the Nightmare King is still a badass. As Jonathan said, in the eyes of a young kid, the Nightmare King is literally the stuff that Nightmares are made of. I give this Badass a 7/10, I would give him 8 if i were still six years old.

just a thought.. does the boogy man count for anything on here?
hell yeah he does! But I'll be honest, when I saw that movie, the ending ruined it for me. Just seeing this obviously digitally animated boogie man didnt cut it, but hes still goin up.
Oh man, that picture did NOTHING for his credit. David, you got the picture from the video game, Little Nemo. But in your defense, I couldn't find a picture of the Nightmare King from the movie either. If there was a screenshot of the Nightmare King from the movie, it'd be a lot more scary.
I'll try and find another one, maybe I'll even take one with my digital camera. What was that clown guys name by the way?
speaking of clowns, i always thought the Joker from Batman was kinda creepy. or who was that guy with half his face burned? they were both scary. hell, batman's just a scary cartoon.
