UPDATED: From main Big Bads to secondary evildoers, I’ve ranked all 24 villains from every Trek movie (including Star Trek Into Darkness ). Obviously, MAJOR SPOILERS abound.
Shinzon (Star Trek: Nemesis, 2002)
I could spend all the words detailing every reason why Nemesis is an affront to all that is good in the world, but you really don't need to look any further than its main villain, the worst in the history of Star Trek. Shinzon (Tom Hardy, way before he was a big deal) is a secretly cloned version of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, the crux of a discarded Romulan plot who was subsequently cast into the mines on Remus, where he became the leader of the Remans — and already the character has gone off the rails. Remus? Remans? Wuzzah? And why clone Picard for a nefarious plot only to keep that plot from actually happening?
In any event, it's pretty clear that Shinzon was supposed to be a provocative exploration of the differences between nature and nurture. Instead, he's a sniveling spoiled brat in a costume straight out of an '80s metal band music video who bears zero resemblance to Picard save for his bald head and regal nose, and that they both like their tea Earl Grey, and hot. Hardy seems completely lost in the role. It's a total waste.

Klaa (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, 1989)
This is a Klingon warrior? With the mega-heavage and ridiculous perm and...is that...eye-liner?! I'd forgotten he was even in this film until I started this post.

Adm. Dougherty (Star Trek: Insurrection, 1998)
For such a seemingly benevolent institution, Starfleet has sure had its share of bad-egg admirals. This one's not even bothering to hide that he's up to no good, what with that eeeevvvvvvilllll glower of his. But I can barely recall why he was evil. Was it the beard?

Ayel (Star Trek, 2009)
When I heard that the great Clifton Collins Jr. had been case as the main henchman in J.J. Abrams' Trek reboot, I had high hopes for the character. But it turns out he was only meant to glower and fight Kirk at one point and then die. Wah wah.
Good facial tattoos, though.
