"Most evil" begs the question of how one defines evil, of course. Is it by the pursuit of worldly satisfaction and gratification, as opposed to the abandonment of desire, as in the Buddhist sense? In which case one could argue for Elsa as a strong contender. Or is it defined as a more subhuman chaotic engagement with society, as in the Pat Roaches, perhaps, a behavior antithetical to rational ordered social existence (somewhat Confucian, but hey, it's early)? Or is it the reasoned rejection of a specific moral dogma, in which case one could argue for Rene B or poor dumb Walter D. Or is it by acknowledging a perverse interpretation of accepted healthy human relationships, in which case a Toht or Vogel might emerge as a contender?
Before addressing you poll, we might all get together - at a summit, say - to hash out these issues.

Heh. He said morass.
