Charles Montgomery Burns

The Simpsons is most often mentioned as the cartoon for people who don't like cartoons (a statement which is almost always worded as "Yeah, I don't like cartoons. Except for The Simpsons, but that's different.") C. M. Burns owns and operates the Springfield Nuclear Plant that employs Homer Simpson, as well as many others such as Lenny and Carl and Wayland Smithers. His only love is money, and his only lust is power. When given the offer of eternal happiness at the cost of one dollar, he pondered and decided, "Ehh, I'd rather keep the dollar." He's not above even the lowest of low deeds, he has even stooped to stealing candy from a baby (although Maggie was far too formidable a foe to simply yank a lollypop from). Let's see, what else has he done to deserve the title? He blocked the sun, he coerced Homer into performing unspeakable acts for money, he has a chute in his office that he drops solicitors through, he pulled the plug on his own mother, he tried to skin a litter of stolen puppies...then threatened to shoot the Simson kids... Well I could go on like this for days. Frankly, I'm a huge Simpson's buff, and Mr. Burns' evil is of paramount importance to the show.
