The lich king is hurt by a senile old man, and finished off by the ghost of a senile old man. I vote Sarevok.

This just goes to show how popular it is to be "avant-garde" and try to go against the conventional thinking so you can score cool points on the internet in front of others. Arthas would win it, Sar's a pussy.
I don't know who Sarevok is and im not going to look and find out ;p
But i can alrdy say that he will probably win because Lich King is a damn awful villain had to be said
EDIT: If this was Sarevok vs Deathwing on the other hand...

Arthas, hands down.
In terms of sheer power, it's Arthas.
He fought (I'm gonna go with 10, because 25 is overkill imo) 10 of the greatest champions of Azeroth, the guys who saved entire races, the guys who single handedly became famous champions of their factions, and destroyed them all once he actually tried, only to have the first innocent life he took (his father) to come back and rend him useless.
He defeated Illidan, he had a massive fortress built with an old god's blood, he even took out his own heart to make him more evil.
You say overkill on the story line, good guy gone bad. But you forget the details of his whole story line.
Arthas in my opinion is the greatest VIDEO GAME villain of ALL time, no story line was as compelling, this guy was the reason for many things you see in game such as the fall of Silvermoon, Blood Elves, Forsaken, hell...
Arthas is THE REASON THE HORDE STANDS TODAY.
Without Arthas tearing apart Lordearon and destroying the Alliance the Allies would have destroyed the horde. Lets not even forget how he gave them numbers with the Forsaken. He's also the reason why the Blood Elves joined the Horde.
RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE
Sarevok? are you kidding? Jon Irenicus could make a competition to Arthas, but not one of the hundreds usual bhaalspanws.

Yes I had to LOL that many times.
Sephiroth really? Yeah FF7 was cool and all but Sephiroth was pretty lame. BTW Kefka > Every other FF Villain.
But back on topic I would probably have to lean over to Lich King. Don't get me wrong Sarevok was a super mega cool badass and son of a god, but Lich King definitely has more power. Your Character tho near the end of BG2 could probably beat LK
The player could turn to demon to fight him....so yes. Sarevok.
You shut your whore mouth. Arthas was an amazing villain. Just because you don't fully understand his motives and operations doesn't mean nobody else does.
/kefka laugh
WE HEH HE HE HE HE HE HE!
/fall over
Dude was hilarious. And scary as shit.
Definitely Sarevok. Don't forget that he managed to turn almost an entire country against you in his quest to destroy you in every sense of the word. Arthas? He was portrayed rather weakly, constantly fleeing with the tagline "This isn't over!" Sarevok, you didn't even see - though you managed to unravel a number of his plots during the course of the game, the bossman himself stayed out of things until the battle came to him.
Plus, I recently re-conquered Baldur's Gate and found that fight much, much more difficult than Lich King.
Not 100% sure who Sarevok is, so I did a quick google search and found this.
He doesn't look like he's about to lose to random people and an old man.
Baldour's Gate is classical fantasy, WoW is humorous fanatsy - like Discworld. Also, Baldour's Gate was the first game to be released on 5 freaking CDs (that was tremendous back then). Sarevok.
I think people are totally underselling how great Arthas really was, im talking about Arthas/Lich King as a whole. Not just his cheap cartoon villain appearance in the lich king (it really was just like dr claw). You can try the "but he was killed by 10 randoms blah blah", if you really want to go down that road, Saverok was killed by 5/6 level 6 characters (was it level 6? was bloody ages ago).
Im going to agree with a couple of others in this thread, Arthas easily. As great a villain as Saverok was for a game, in the grand scheme of things he was just an undertrained bhaalspawn. Now... Jon Irenicus, that's a little more like it...

He voiced A LOT of other things. His voice is quite present in a lot of cartoons and games, mostly.

I'm guessing the kids will vote Lich King and the true old schoolers will vote Sarevok.
