I was going to make some long post about the absolute worst human being in all of fiction, the most hated, the most reviled. Maybe mention some people I thought were close. But it's not a close. There's a clear frontrunner. In about half the movies I watch, I end up rooting for the bad guys anyway. Not this guy.

| Burke, Carter J |
He has to be the least likeable villain of all time. Although I have to say, casting Paul Reiser as a villain in a science fiction movie is a stroke of genius. We already hate the guy, now the movie gives us a reason! Amusingly, even the actor's parents, when watching Aliens, wanted Burke to die horribly.
He betrays everyone just for a percentage of the profits, even after seeing how dangerous the Aliens are. And he's not only evil, but also incompetent, creating plans to have almost no chance of working. Even his clothes are bad; if you're going to be an evil corporate guy, at least wear the proper suit.
