I can't help but think that's Xanatos from Gargoyles, but he was a good guy (I think? It's been DECADES since I've watched that show)

This entire video is obviously a Xanatos plot!

Hmmm. Would Baron Quinn from Into the Badlands qualify? He's charismatic as hell, is laser focused on controlling the Badlands, and is definitely a threating maniac.

If you're going to be a badass, you can't half-ass it.

Another great Magnificent Bastard quote: “Is it better to be respected or feared? I say, is it to much to ask for a little of both?”

Lord Washington

Would deathstroke qualify as a magnificent bastard?
