Richard has won.

Personally I think the revelation that he's uncomfortable peeing unless he's hurting somebody is the top of the evilness scale. I mean that's not just evil, that's genuinely disturbing.

Let's not forget what he did to the corpse afterwards. "Hmm, I haven't made self love an abomination yet"

And wanting to do it on top of all these dead people is just everyday drudgery?

Richard hasn't come even close to doing abominations on a large scale. Yes, he's done some evil stuff, but most of it is just showy and humourous, none coming close to actually disturbing. I find Sohmer is a little too showy with his style.

Only ONE F-16 Fighting Falcon, actually, but it's evil none-the-less!

Black Mage and Richard strike me as old buddies from the same mage academy. Different ways of being evil, same talent. Why compare?

For my money, it doesn't get more evil than the liberal use of a spell the sucks love out of the universe and that was aquired through the sacrifice of 9 orphan children which is discussed in the completely off-hand way that Mirai Gen mentioned.

I think they're just written a bit differently. First off, this Richard guy seems to be paired with a guy more like RM than Fighter. That leads to a different dynamic. Sure, he does random acts of cruelty, but he seems to do it more out of offhand psychotic whims or to prove his evilness than actually practicing self-secure evil. BM performs evil as a way of life and out of disproportionate rage.

That more or less tops the evilness chart in my book, that is just pure horror right there.

BM's level of evil is clearly overcompensation for something else.

Well, more like several things, but yes.
