Boot To The Head :You obviously hadn't buffed up your mace.
And Sauron was a giant floating eyeball for over a millenia. (And he had hundreds of thousands of orcs to fight for him.) Scary orcs yes, but they still fought for him.)
Technically Sauron wasn't the Eye, nor was he the Mouth. A fragment of his soul was encased in the Ring, but that was only a half. He existed, but not in a corporeal form. Before he returned to Mordor and rebuild the fortress of Baradur, he existed as a Wraith, more or less, in the fortress of Angmar. There the elves of Mirkwood reffered to him as the Necromancer, until Angmar was besieged and he was driven back to Mordor.
He still existed in this shadow, spirit-like form in Bardur, but extended a segment of his conciousness into the Eye of Sauron in the year 2951 of the Third Age. In this omnipotent form, he was able to extend his "sight" over most of Middle Earth, as well as convey his will to his servants through the Mouth of Sauron.
So...Yeah, I think he's cooler than the Overlord.
