*grins* In my case, he shares "first animated crush" billing with Elisa Maza and with Gambit from the old X-Men cartoon, but I know what you mean ^_^. There's just something about his utterly gleeful amorality that's endearing (I think what sold me on Xanatos was the episode where he and Demona create the gargoyle/cyborg creature, and he lets out a whoop of maniacal laughter and hollers, "It's alive!" and then adds cheerfully, "I've always wanted to say that!"). He has so much fun being an evil corporate overlord.
