Clearly you didn't get it. The whole idea of a final showdown in that story is just crazy. Sorry, man.
That one Kodan Commander was significantly more badass in only one line...
I'll see your Cherno Alpha and raise you a Crimson Typhoon, who was a more advanced Jaeger and had some pretty cool looking weapons, and was Chinese (yay), had 3 arms and 3 pilots and actually had a nice battle sequence, but was defeated like a bitch. At least Cherno went down like a boss. I would love to see a…
Hate to say it but Xur from The Last Starfighter. He was supposed to be all gothically menacing but was ultimately just effete, allopecious, and as annoying to the audience as he was to the Kodans with whom he had a tenuous alliance.
"You leave Jack Burton alone!"
Started out pretty cool with badass ship and enemy of Buck, then clearly couldn't be any more badass than the lead and ended up being second fiddle following Buck Rogers doing menial tasks.
Pretty much any bad guy from the prequels, I'd say...

He's a businessman who made some poor decisions, and went to school with Reed Richards?

Let's reach way backy-back and pull out one of my childhood heroes- Jim DiGriz aka The Stainless Steel Rat. Deplores killing, but loves stealing. This may stretch the bounds of the question, since Jim has little gadgets and whatnot and is quite willing to go fisticuffs with someone, but largely he gets by on his wits.
Do detectives count? If so then this guy -
Nuff said.
Pretty sure that was the exact plot of this movie.
I'm Carter Burke, and I approve of this post.
too bad it took a role to do this: she looks frakking HAWT!
Jonathan Pryce? That's a fantastic bit of casting, he's really-
