When looking back at villains in film and literature who are comparable to Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine, one of the bigger ones has to be the Count Dracula. Both are pale old men in black attire and can disguise themselves in a younger appearance. They have supernatural powers used for evil by feeding off and seducing naïve victims, some of which can be turned into their servants.

But if two of cinema's greatest villains are pitted against each other, who would win? A battle between the most evil Sith Lord and the lord of all vampires with countless amount of powers would be highly fascinating. Here are how both stack up against one another and who comes out victorious.

Emperor Palpatine

Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi

Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious was taught the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Plagueis the Wise before destroying him to become the master of the Sith. As a Senator turned Chancellor of the Republic, he hid his true self from the Jedi in plain sight, then finally became Emperor of the Galactic Empire and nearly wiped out the Jedi Order.

Through years of training, Sidious mastered lightsaber combat, so much so that he considered the practice a farce and only kept one to mock the Jedi. He's also one of the all-time most powerful users of the Force and is notorious for attacking his enemies with Force lightning. Outside of the movies, Palpatine displayed the ability to bend space and time with the Force, levitate and mysteriously survived a fatal fall at the hands of Darth Vader.

If there's a weakness to the Emperor, it's his hubris and underestimation of others. After failing to turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side, he viciously attacked him in a fit of rage, enough to let his guard down and allow Vader to toss him down a ledge. He also underestimated the spirit of the Jedi who aided Rey in The Rise of Skywalker and destroyed him once and for all.

Count Dracula

Gary Oldman as Dracula

Very few characters in literature have been adapted for the screen as much as Dracula. With so many different versions changing his strengths and weaknesses, the Dracula compared here will be the original one from Bram Stoker's novel.

Established in the novel are several strengths and weaknesses for The Count, some of which have been forgotten in vampire lore. Dracula can stay immortal and even appear younger if he's well fed with human blood. He has incredible stealth, casting no shadows or a reflection in a mirror. He's able to see in the dark and slip through very thin spaces. He is also an incredible shape-shifter, with the ability to transform into a bat, wolf, rats and mist. Dracula also has power over the weather, with the ability to conjure storms or ride moonbeams.

Dracula's weaknesses nearly cancel out his powers, hence why he's barely known outside of his hometown. Even with all of his gifts, the vampire is not allowed to enter a house unless he's been invited in. Sunlight actually doesn't kill him, but instead weakens his powers. He's still repelled by garlic and holy symbols like crosses and wafers. Only at noon, dusk, or dawn can he transform his body. Dracula can't cross through running water, and if a wild rose is laid on his tomb while sleeping, he cannot exit. It also doesn't help that he needs to rest and recharge in boxes of his own soil, making his ability to travel far difficult, hence why the heroes of the novel successfully capture and destroy him with knives as he attempts to return to his castle in daylight.

Winner: Palpatine

Considering all of their strengths and weaknesses, Palpatine would most likely win in a fight against Dracula. If knives or a wooden stake from humans can turn the vampire into dust, a lightsaber, force lightning or telekinesis from a Sith lord can do the same easily.
