The Vampire Diaries Season 6, it\'s safe to say that Malachai "Kai" Parker  has made his evil presence felt.

He may be sarcastic. He may have a pretty face. But make no mistake: this scorned witch wants all the powers.

He wants to kill his sister via a merge. He wants to take over Mystic Falls. He wants to avenge all those who have done him wrong - and he wants to laugh at their pain as he does so.

Chris Wood has been outstanding in this fun role, but how does it compare to past Vampire Diaries villains?

12 Vampire Diaries Villains We Really Love to Hate

Kai is sarcastic. Kai has an innocent, almost sweet face. And Kai was usurp all the witch power he possibly can to pretty much take over the world. GULP.

Are you more scared of Kai than you were of Esther? Or Katherine? Or Professor Shane? Or Mikael? Or Klaus, back when he was a true villain?

TVD is not good at villains, they are almost always giving them back stories that take them out of the villain role. To me the Gemini coven are the truly evil ones, thus making Kai the hero for wanting to eliminate them. The Mystic Falls gang has become friends with 3 of them, and are OK with the merge ceremony? Instead they should be joining Kai and going after the leaders of this coven that see nothing wrong with this practice. But, this is the same stupid gang that awoke Silas for a stupid cure that in the end none of them wanted anyway. The only hero of that season was Kol and he was killed for it, and TVD will again kill at least one of the Geminis that we know instead of the real evil ones.

You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger... I want you to get everything you\'re looking for. But for right now, I want you to forget that this happened. Can\'t have people knowing I\'m in town yet. Goodnight, Elena.

Damon: You know what they are? Children. Like lighting a candle\'s going to make everything OK, or even saying a prayer. Or pretending Elena\'s not going to end up just like the rest of us murdering vampires. Stupid, delusional, exasperating little children. And I know what you\'re going to say: \'It makes them feel better, Damon.\' So what? For how long? A minute, a day? What difference does it make? Because in the end, when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be. And a rock with a birthday carved into it that I\'m pretty sure is wrong. So thanks, friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit. Because I should be long gone by now. I didn\'t get the girl, remember? I\'m just stuck here fighting my brother and taking care of the kids. You owe me big.
