In the immortal words of Tony "Scarface" Montana, "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, 'That's the bad guy.'" The observation can definitely ring true, but deflecting our lacking, our sins, and our negative qualities onto evil dudes isn't the only reason we need them. They also look so fucking cool, and we could all take some style cues from the men who are always keen on world domination and/or destruction.

Outlaws, after all, are the ones who originally dressed in all black, and we should all have a little evil running through our vens when we're getting dressed. Villains may not have the best intentions in mind when they wake up in the morning, but at least they've prioritized dope style appropriately. From comic books to TV to films, these are The Most Stylish Fictional Villains of All Time.
