The Beyonder
The Beyonder was once the sum total of an alternate dimension which projected itself into our own in a human form. A form that rocked a Jheri curl and white disco jumpsuit.
The Beyonder was arguably the most powerful being ever to exist in the Marvel Universe and hence could do virtually anything. He could manipulate incalculable amounts of energy and create and rearrange matter on a planetary scale. He proved capable of obliterating an entire galaxy.
He toyed with the assembled heroes and villains of the universe, transporting them to a world of his own creation and pitting them against each other in the infamous Secret Wars.
He has slaughtered scores of superpowered beings on a whim, smacked around various cosmic entities with ease, and even erased the abstraction of Death itself from the universe until choosing to bring it back.
The Beyonder isn't necessarily "evil" in the traditional sense. He's more of an all-powerful curious and petulant child that ends up committing many destructive and evil acts along the way as he tries on different roles and strategies.

Don't disappoint this guy. He is one badass who doesn't take crap from anyone. I'll force-choke the next guy who doesn't get me a bagel. My first pick:
Darth Vader
Not Anakin. Not the softie who in turn threw the Emperor into the Death Star, although it shows that he's willing to be a team member, which is important in this draft.
V-A-D-E-R.
Any questions?
PM Sent.

Doubt I'll get any name recognition votes for my first pick, but if I want to destroy the world, I'm calling the guy whose name is shorthand for "extreme horror and evil"
Cthulhu
"Cthulhu is a monstrous entity who lies "dead but dreaming" in the city of R'lyeh, a place of non-Euclidean madness presently (and mercifully) sunken below the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Cthulhu appears in various monstrous and demonic forms in early myths of the human race. Racial memory preserves Him as humanity's most basic nightmare.
Cthulhu is the high priest of the Great Old Ones, unnatural alien beings who ruled the Earth before humanity formed, worshipped as gods by some misguided people. It is said that They will return, causing worldwide insanity and mindless violence before finally displacing humanity forever. "
Best of all, this gets to be my draft campagn slogan:

:will be sleeping with the lights on tonight:
He ain't a dude. He's a primordial alien squid headed godling who brings insanity and evil in his wake. He sleeps in the deeps in his grotesque ancient city and waits the time when his cult of worshippers awaken him to destroy mankind. He's also titanic. Here, maybe this will help your nightmares?
P.S. was not happening for you GGG, that was going to be my first pick as well (despite my sincere doubts that you could in any way call him/it a team player).

Yep, that helped immensely Brick...cause you know, the whoooole 'rising out of water' thing? Layered on top of my newly developed fear of alien squid headed godlings who bring insanity and evil in their wake, may just raise the needle on my open water angst...
:avoiding darkness, sleep and bathtubs/pools/lakes/oceans:
EDIT: Um...I'm seeing from that picture where "red skies @ morning, sailors take warning" comes from, because, well, just damn...that's kinda worthy of a warning. This alien must be nocturnal

After a lengthy phone conversation and hours dealing with receptionists and an automated phone answering system, I finally got through to my pick and was able to work out a deal... this would be my number 1 overall pick regardless of where I was in the draft. He should have gone #1 overall...
Palpatine!
[yt=Palpatine gets a job? HILARIOUS]eTkQ2mnn-ZE[/yt]
[yt=Palpatine: Master of Puppets!]BBL0r0hQ7ho[/yt]
Not only is he the most powerful dark sith with all of the many psychic and force powers that go with that, plus he is a great leader to other big time evil baddies! Also, he is a master political tactician... so when the good guys come to attack him, they will be declared by the people of earth as bad guys... hahahahahahha!
"I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time, you will call me Master."
Let's face it, I have already won...
Edit: Just wanted to give a preview of the future earth fools...
