Honestly, nothing in FF7 holds a candle to Sephiroth in this department, and the reason for this is that the stupidity of his design is somewhat insidious.

His dead eyes and the brutal way he uses his sword are intimidating, but the outfit is just so awful, it's like this trenchcoat that's 3 sizes too small for him, and it doesn't make sense that the shoulder armor is part of the coat rather than the SOLDIER uni underneath. The collar looks like shit, he's slightly too much of a bishonen, and last but not least the two jagged bits of hair in the front. I mean Cloud's hair at least looks like a fair dramatization of a real style, but Sephiroth's just makes no sense. Imagine him without those and he looks 10 times better.

Oh, and his name doesn't help.
