Oh boy, are there some mistakes here. To be a great Trek villain it takes more than threat level OR personal stakes with hero OR complicated motivations. A great villain needs all of these. Shinzon was a crybaby that somehow got power. Weyoun is brainwashed. The Borg Queen was always a bad idea in general, the result of cowardly producers.


I'd put Karidian and Lenore above half of these people. Kevin Finney, Trelane, Daimon Bok for goodness sakes!
Yeah, Shinzon as presented has no business here. Top ten wasted villain concepts? Absolutely.
