Ok the Emperor of Mankind saved the entire Human race, Mile High Golden thrown, the whole bit, but on the other hand he's a weak ass, half dead old man who can't even get up

The Emperor of Dune, Hmm Half-Sandworm, werid crap, naa he's smart but not very

Khaless, Don't know

Ming? Ming was a pansy idiot who most of the Rules of Evil Overlords study now-adays are BECAUSE of Ming and his ENDLESS idioicy

His Divine Shadow, Partial Idiot, otherwise brillant bad guy, but he is kinda forgettable

Papy, The one we know and love, admilitly because we are Biased, Enegered the desctrution of an entire Galaxy Wide Goverment, On the flip side, Skywalker and Vadar fuck-up....


I'll go with the Emperor of Man from 40k on this one here

Which Emperor in Dune specifically? There have been more than a few you know.

Colin McIntyre, from the Imperium Trilogy. He's the man responsible for saving mankind from the 'tani and dealt them their only defeat. He also finally put down Anu's munity and rebuilt the Imperium from the ashes of the Civil War.

He's a weak ass old man because he fought a demon posessed primarch, (one of his sons) but couldn't bring himself to kill him until after he'd had the **** kicked out of him, Verry old, very very old.

True, but he was pretty ineffective as far as Emperors go. Granted, he was better than the other Emperors in the late Galactic Empire.
