Possible Star Trek Villains in the New Series

The Borg Queen and Locutus

"The really great villains are the ones that you root for"  ~ Nicholas Meyer 'Wrath of Khan' Director

Every good story needs an evil villain to antagonize the hero and Star Trek sure has presented us with some of the greatest villains of all time. Cruel and vicious some of these Star Trek archenemies could give a person nightmares. But we love them, and why do we love them? Because their evil actions play an important part of the plot. It causes a conflict between the hero and villain either by fighting or by competition. Generally, the villain serves as an obstacle that the hero must struggle to overcome and a really great villain can transform a good try into a triumph.
