Sci-fi villains – we just can’t get enough of them.

From Ming the Merciless to Darth Vader, a good old-fashioned baddie can transform even the most average science fiction movie into something quite special.

But which are the best sci-fi villains in movie history? Well, we have combed the length and breadth of the galaxy to come up with a selection of baddies that are simply out of this world.

Mean and murderous they may be – but we love them anyway. Enjoy.

20. Ash
Movie: Alien

Bloody androids. You really can’t trust them.

19. Jabba The Hutt
Movie: The Return of the Jedi

Thank you Jabba for dressing Princess Leia in a gold bikinis.

17. Max
Movie: Black Hole

Max and his whisk of doom is something to be feared. Be very afraid.

16. The Daleks
Movie: Doctor Who And The Daleks

Scariest dustbins we have ever seen.

15. The Reavers
Movie: Serenity

Scary, ugly things which have no basic hygiene and probably eat their own young. We think they are French. Actually, scrub that – they are actually quite hard.

14. The Borg Queen
Movie: Star Trek: First Contact

OK, how can The Borg have a queen if they are one entity? Trekkies, help us out here. Anyway, she was pretty good and The Borg are genuinely quite a scary prospect. Damn Commies.

13. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen
Movie: Dune

OK, we are not huge fans of the movie, but Vladimir Harkonnen did ease our boredom somewhat. Has the same skin complaint as Cameron Diaz.

12. C. A. Rotwang
Movie: Metropolis

One of the greatest sci-fi films ever made.

11. Ming The Merciless
Movie: Flash Gordon

Ming and his sexy daughter are the ONLY reason to watch Flash Gordon. Oh, the soundrack was good too.

10. Alien Queen
Movie: Aliens

The biggest and baddest creature in the Universe. Truly terrifying.

9. General Thade
Movie: Planet of the Apes

The ONLY reason to watch the pants remake.

8. Agent Smith
Movies: The Matrix Trilogy

The real man in black.

7. T-1000
Movie: Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Added a totally different dimension to the Terminator franchise.

6. T-800
Movie: The Terminator

Not sure about you, but we preferred Arnie as a baddie.

5. Boba Fett
Movies: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, The Return of the Jedi

Would have been higher but for his rather undignified death – sliding into a giant anus while screaming like a girl. Wait!! He didn’t die, did he?

4. Roy Batty
Movie: Blade Runner

With a name like that – you really would have to be good.

3. Emperor Palpatine
Movies: Star Wars series

Scared the hell out of us when we were kids.

2. Darth Vader
Movies: Star Wars series

Would Star Wars be anywhere near as good without him? We are genuinely not sure.

1. Khan
Movie: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Classic baddie with bad hair to boot.

You! Follow hecklerspray on Twitter!

What do you get if you cross a patriotic British boxing Muslim, a warped owl-faced England hating clerical Muslim, and a Tory MP?

You guessed it; 3 morons.

Let us begin with the warped, owl-faced England-hating clerical Muslim. His name's Omar Bakri Mohammed, he's estimated to be about 50 years old and comes from Syria. Omar, currently exiled in Lebanon after having been deported from the UK for being a rather naughty individual indeed – he once described the 9/11 hijackers as the 'Magnificent 19' (very funny, Omar, but the joke will be on you when you discover that 19 central characters is gonna be tough to cram into 120 pages of script; there's a reason why we in the west chose 7. Well, it was because we stole it off Kurosawa, but that's an entirely different matter, Omar, the point we're getting to follows shortly after these brackets) – has accused Amir Khan of being a prick, basically.

Just read what the cheeky git is quoted as saying from his hideaway in Beirut, according to that beautiful daily source of news, The Sun:

 “So now for him (Amir, lovely Amir) to be wrapping himself in British flag is another sign of somebody who is completely jahil (ignorant). You give him the excuse of ignorance for living among the kuffar (non-believer). So you can’t call him kuffar but you can call him jahil and deviant person. Amir Khan is not a good example for Muslims. He wears shorts with the Union Jack. That is a sin. He should not be wearing the flag because sovereignty is for God. His only allegiance should be to the Prophet Mohammed. The ideal situation would be to have a Muslim team not registered to any state so he can represent the Islamic community.”

Presumably with Mohammed's face stretched across Amir's arse instead? Oh oh! Retract, retract! It's gone, it's not there, the sentence has been retracted, all logic suggests otherwise but we ask you to take a leap of faith brothers; it isn't there.

Anyway, so Omar's calling Amir like totally jahil, but he aint no kuffar. He's a bit jahil of his kuffarins, and that's forgivable, are we keeping up? Good, time for moron number 2!

His names Andrew Rosindell, he's a Tory, he's 42 and he has decided he should probably make a comment on the comments. He said:

“I'd love to see the two of them slugging it out. I’ll be cheering for Amir. What Bakri said is appalling. A sportsman represents his country. He is British first and Muslim second — and can be both. Amir is a positive role model to the young. Bakri is an unsavoury character whose words should be discounted.”

So Andrew is saying that it absolutely isn't a sin for Amir to be wearing Union Jack shorts, it is in fact wicked that he does that, and that before Amir's allegiance to almighty Allah (there is no god but him, apparently, and he should know) who promises to reward good little boys with presents not even the most spoilt child would dare to ask for on his list to Santa - 'I'd like a PS3, a pony, and a harem of gagging-for-it virgins please, Mr Claus' – before all that, comes a far more pressing allegiance to the UK, which does at least deal with his welfare in the real world (but what is real, right philosophy graduates?).

And like Andrew says, it's possible to be both a Muslim and a British patriot, and that's just what Amir Khan, 21, from Bolton, our 3rd moron of the day, is.

Some people would argue that each person is an individual and that it's foolish to take any pride in being born in a country of which you had no choosing, or shot from a vagina with a religious outlook you held no sway over, as you and your stupidly fertile child mind are unable to prevent these jahil/ignorant adults ploughing whatever nonsense they so wish into you.

But to be fair to Amir, can we really blame him for being what he's become? Perhaps we, like Omar before us, should forgive him for his ignorances as he lives among the 'other' people, which for us would be the non-kafarians and the patriots. Did he have any chance being reared by these people? Does anyone, ultimately, have any control over the person they become? There's no time to speculate, so let's presume we do, in which case sort it out Amir!

You work hard for race relations, and you succeed, but you don't have to dance around in your Union Jack pants to gain white people's love. It may work for the Tories, but when was pleasing the Tories a good thing? Not in hecklerspray's lifetime and never again, right kids? Lead the revolution Amir. Throw those pants into the bin, get Benneton to make you a multicoloured pair and lead us into the crystal enlightenment of a colour-blind, hecklerspray tinted future.

Just look at Ali; he told Michael Parkinson and the whole country that the white man was the devil, and we still hold back the tears every time we see him trying not to drop his latest 'sporting achievement' award onto the floor.
