I was kind of being ironic with my first answer Eomer, maybe I was slightly sarcastic with my second

Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

Mine is... you guessed it, Maedhros. Kinslayer and my namesake killer. He deserves to die for all the deaths he caused...including Lalaith's death from the battle preparations he riled others on...

Maeglin.

In this family-friendly forum, I can't use words the words I'd like to use to describe how much I despise him.

Fair enough, I would also call him the hottest but for different reasons.

Since narfforc already thoughtfully offered the pun on balrogs and Arien, I won't venture that territory. Wondering though - could the hottest be the one with the hottest head?

Fëanor? Some of his sons? Túrin?

Very conscious of the fact that this makes several bearded old men hot too, though. So, friends, from now on, you are supposed to find Gandalf the Grey uncloaking... stimulating.

Glaurung - just because. And also because he ruined the lives of three of my favorite characters (weeeellll..., considering I have about 50 favorites that doesn't say much... But Morwen, Turin, and Nienor really are some of my favourite-favourites. )

Being serious (something I don't like to do too often), I think there is a translation problem going on here. Here in The Islands of the Mighty (Mabinogion), being 'HOT' is normally something a female would call a good looking bloke, so therefore to me the question looks like you are asking who I think is the best looking man or woman.

I think they may have got hot list and hit list muddled...

Any way Hot - Finrod
Hit - Beren
Overheated - Sauron ..clearly eaten enough Ready-brek to fire up his jewellery..

That's true, but you could also take HOT literally, or interpret it in any way that'll fit the joke
