Kroenen was cool but c'mon......Darth Maul is probably the best thing to come out of the prequels.

Damn, Kroenen was one of the most interesting characters in his film, we had no background of him, but he was in a very strange state, then when his story was explained in the behind the scenes he became even more interesting, look, the guy was a geniuses and tried to achieve perfection, he's damn cool.

However Darth Maul is much more popular it seems

If nothing else, at least the SW prequels brought us Darth Maul. He'll challenge Predator for my final vote.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Darth Maul, easily the coolest villain.

 

[OsGom]

Darth Maul is a cool design and had the best lightsaber duel of all the movies, however, he was also a guileless thug with little or no background or story.

Kroenen had a compelling story, killed all kinds of peoples, infiltrated his enemies stronghold and assasinated the enemy leader.

Kroenen is superior because his character was more fleshed out than Maul and really more intrical to the story.

Now i want to see kroenen fighting with lightsaber knives!

Kroenen was a badass but having Jedi powers is way cooler. Maul!

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Loved Maul, but Kroenen was all kinds of awesome, him for me.

 

[redhawk23]

Kronen's death is way cooler. Dies laughing the worlds creepiest laugh.

As the title and opening post state, it's not about character development or relevance to the overall plot, it's about who's a cool badass, for me Maul's fighting skills and look make him a cooler badass than Kroenen and that is why he got my vote.

I find it funny that in your list you have the witch king of Angmar, shouldn't you have Sauron too? He doesn't ven speak in the movies, his eye does, but not much

Exactly, I'm not denying that Kroenen is more fleshed out or whatever...but what's presented in the movie is what I know about these characters. Sure, Kroenen did more in Hellboy than Darth Maul did in Phantom Menace but Darth Maul easily has one of the most menacing and intimidating faces EVAR! Maul's face ALONE trumps all of Kroenen's designs imo...that's not even taking into account weaponry and fighting styles.

No one nominated Sauron.

 

[Figs]

Kroenen

He's a far more interesting character.

 

[Asteroid-Man]
