We'll be covering the two-parter "The Bend in the River". Here, a pirate named El Cajon (which translates to "The Coffin") resides in the Amazon River basin in Peru, causing destruction. When a treasure hunter named Brian has gone missing thanks to the river pirate, a reporter gets the A-Team to find him.

Doyle and Carlos Ritterman are the ultimate villains of the two-parter, concocting a massive scheme in secrecy.

So this is where it gets interesting. Doyle I can see counting. He's a heavy participant in Ritterman's plan, knowing exactly what he's going to do with that reactor, plus he's engaging in human trafficking, manipulating El Cajon into killing people for ultimately selfish reasons, is a total BadBoss who threatens his men on numerous occasions, and is a sex pest who is willing to keep the female leads around for his own personal pleasure rather than sell them as slaves.

Ritterman, meanwhile, is only revealed in the final 20 minutes of Part 2.

An interesting keep, I feel.

We're returning to ''Series/TheATeam'' with some candidates I was previously on the fence about.

For this EP, we'll be talking about the third episode of Season 1, "Pros and Cons".

Here, a friend of B.A. Baracus, Jase, has been arrested and sent to Strikersville Prison, and is tasked to get him out with the rest of the A-Team's help. But inside the prison lies trouble in the form of this guy.

'''Who is He?'''

Warden Beale is the obese, corrupt head of the Strikersville Prison, secretly running an illegal fighting arena for money.

'''What has he done?'''

Beale forces his prisoners to fight to the death in front of a paying audience, choosing the strongest fighters to train while leaving the opponents untrained and weak. The winner gets to leave the prison a free man. After the fight, the loser is shot dead, with over 7 people having died during these death matches.

The winner, on the other hand, is promised freedom if they can make it outside of the prison's parameter. But in actuality, Beale has his men hunt them down for sport, giving his prisoners an unfair disadvantage so that his men can easily ambush and kill them.

With Jase being the only one to survive the hunt, he's later arrested once again and forced to fight to the death by Beale. With the A-Team going undercover inside the prison to free Jase, Beale takes note of the (seemingly) deaf and mute Baracus's strength, forcing him to fight to the death despite his "condition." But before the fight can begin, the A-Team literally crash the fight by driving a van into the arena. Beale is later arrested for his crimes and his fighting ring dismantled.

Nothin'. Beale really couldn't care about being the warden, and when a disguised Face gives him advice on how to reform his prison to better suit his prisoners' interests, Beale can only laugh and ignore said advice.

Beale is a pretty small scaled villain compared to ones like Ivan and Martien, but his crime is pretty unique for the series, and he's responsible for about 14 deaths prior to the start of the episode. There's also the fact that, despite Baracus faking his condition, Beale is willing to force a deaf and mute man to fight to the death.

Also helps that the show honestly doesn't have the biggest heinous standard, with a good majority of the villains being pretty lightweight.

''City Hunter'' is a 2024 action movie based on the manga of the same name. Serving as the second live action film adaptation of Ryo's adventures, this movie's actually pretty awesome, with some great action and a dark plot that translates well on film.

Based on an early story arc in the manga, Ryo Saeba is an incredibly badass, and incredibly perverted, "sweeper" who is tasked to find a woman's missing sister, Kurumi. But after his partner Hideyuki is killed, his adopted sister Kaori tasks Ryo to track down her brother's killer, who actually has connections to the missing Kurumi. Ryo and Kaori end up getting entangled in a scheme led by Union Teope, a crime syndicate who is currently using Shinjuku as a testing ground for the drug Angel Dust. Kurumi's blood is found to be immune to the drug's effects, and they want it bad. It's up to Ryo to make sure that doesn't happen.

The unnamed head of Union Teope's Japanese division oversees the organization's Angel Dust production in Japan.

Taking advantage of the explosives attached to his and his subordinates' necks to instill fear in his henchmen by threatening to activate them at any given chance, the head works with the CEO of the cosmetics brand Lore to create an enhanced version of the combat drug Angel Dust, having runaway kids and homeless people used as guinea pigs. While Angel Dust grants them super strength and mobility, basically making them super soldiers, it also causes these subjects to lose their minds and murder people, only to die from the drug's effects after a few days. The head is tasked to make a more enhanced version of the drug for his unseen bosses, with the Union hoping to sell it across the entire world through the black market. The surge of Angel Dust throughout Shinjuku results in a lot of deaths, with one of his subjects killing Kaori's brother Hideyuki.

Seeking the cosplayer Kurumi after she escaped his hideout, the head sends his lackeys out to retrieve her, since her special blood is needed to perfect Angel Dust. When they fail, the head kills a random, unsuspecting henchman by activating the explosive implanted in his neck as a way to show them what would happen if they fail again; Black Bear is later a victim of such after getting arrested. With Kurumi eventually acquired by a cop secretly working for the Union for a briefcase full of money, the head activates a hidden explosive inside the case that kills him.

Once Kurumi's blood is used to enhance the effects of Angel Dust, the head, believing he now has everything he needs, casually kills the CEO of Lore and has all the doctors and test subjects gunned down, having no use for them anymore. This includes Kurumi's friend Kento, who was one of the many subjects used for the tests. Hoping to make a getaway with Kurumi in a helicopter, the head offers Ryo a chance to join the Union, even smugly stating that Hideyuki was nothing but a "weakling", and that "the weak must die."

Upon being tailed by Kaori, the head sadistically reveals to her that her "weak" father was a originally Union member who wanted out of the syndicate after having her. So he ratted him out, and got him to become a test subject for Angel Dust, which caused him to go on a violent rampage that led him to getting shot by a cop, the same one who took Kaori in to raise her.

But upon being stopped by Saeko and Ryo, the head desperately tries to get Kaori to shoot him, knowing that his unseen bosses will activate his explosives and kill him themselves. In an act of desperation, the head tries to kill Ryo and Kaori, but the explosives go off anyway, putting an end to his tyranny.

After thinking about it... nope. While he may be loyal to the Union, he's still not afraid to use fear to control other Union loyalists like his henchmen, and the film portrays him as everything wrong with the syndicate, from his cold behavior towards his associates, to his sadist love of feeling superior over everybody else.

And then there's his death. While he's terrified of the idea of being killed by his unseen bosses, given that he spends his final moments trying to kill Ryo and Kaori, plus the fact that he's willing to use the exact same method to control his own men and kill them to send a message, show that he's really not any better, and is only sad that ''he's'' on the other receiving end this time.

So my biggest worry is that the head is a cog in the machine, used by the Union to create their own brand of Angel Dust no matter how many have to die. But upon inspection, I think it's safe to say that the head isn't just a mindless drone, and is pretty independent himself. He's the one who keeps his lackeys in line by threatening to have them murdered, he's the one who decided to kill Lore's CEO and personally ordered the massacre of their defenseless doctors and test subjects, and he's the one who personally brags about ruining Kaori's life to her face by being responsible for the death of her biological father.

And while the Union have been experimenting on Angel Dust for decades, the head has been the leader of their operation for a while, and is responsible for all the worst aspects of the operation. It helps too that the narrative paints the head as a cowardly piece of slime who is no better than the people he deems as weak; the movie ''really'' wants us to hate this guy, and I think he does just enough to earn that hate.

'''Who is She?'''



'''What does she do?'''



'''Is he charming? Intelligent? Able to think on her feet?'''


'''Is she a bitch? Too much of one?'''



'''Verdict?'''

I'll be curious to hear y'alls thoughts.

Once Kurumi's blood is used to enhance the effects of Angel Dust, the head, believing he now has everything he needs, casually kills the CEO of Lore and has all the doctors and test subjects gunned down, having no use for them anymore. This includes Kurumi's friend Kento, who was one of the many subjects used for the tests.

Hoping to make a getaway with Kurumi in a helicopter, upon being tailed by Kaori, the head smugly reveals to her that her "weak" father was a Union member who wanted out of the syndicate after having her. So the head ratted him out, and got him to become a test subject for Angel Dust, which caused him to go on a violent rampage that led him to getting shot by a cop, the same one who took Kaori in to raise her.

Easy keep

"Bumblebee" is an early short story by thread favorite Creator/BentleyLittle.

Starring a nameless detective in Arizona, our narrator deals with a slew of racist murders while uncovering the final words of his dead friend Trinidad: "Bumblebee". Turns out, it's the name of a nearby ghost town with a dark past (and apparently [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumble_Bee,_Arizona it's a real location]]). And on top of that, the narrator has to deal with this asshole.

The redneck (he's never given a name) is a racist psychopath and vicious murderer who kills anybody he believes to be an illegal immigrant.

Having been responsible for a series of racially-charged murders, like burning 14 illegals alive in a semi-truck, the redneck's politically charged crimes have earned him affection from the town's police department, who refuse to arrest him. With the narrator being hired by Father Lopez to gather enough evidence to get the redneck behind bars before he could slaughter all the Salvadoran refugees hiding in the church's basement, the redneck took to mortally wounding the narrator's friend Trinidad and left him on the side of the road to die as a way to scare him off. The redneck even goes so far as to murder Father Lopez himself, leaving his body behind at the front of the church as he attempts to make a getaway.

The narrator eventually learns the true extent of the redneck's nature when his friend Julio reveals that he and a couple of others have finally captured the redneck in the ghost town Bumblebee's church. Inside, the narrator notices an entire graveyard of undead immigrants beside their still-living families, all of whom being victims of the redneck's violent hatred. With the redneck tied up, hung up, and completely naked while crying and pissing himself, the undead immigrants take turns slowly killing him as revenge, their torture of the redneck so grave that not even the narrator's willing to look inside and see his remains.

Zilch. While the narrator feels bad for the redneck's fate of being slowly tortured to death, since he believes nobody should have to go through that, even he knows that the redneck feels sad not because he regrets what he's done, but because he was caught and now has to deal with the consequences of his actions. Hell, the only lines of dialogue he has are when he briefly escapes his punishment and tries to shoot the zombie immigrants, as if all he really cares about is killing people.

Easily the worst in the story, with his murders so brutal and a bodycount so big, it could fill an entire graveyard.

We're heading back to ''Road Kill'' for this one. Today we'll be covering Volume 6's "Doll 538", by Sonny Zae.

Suzee Scarface is a sweet little doll who has had many owners in the past, whom she has often helped with their issues. But one little girl, Marilee Morrow, proves to be her most challenging yet, with her mother proving to be a constant pain thanks to her terrible job and her alcoholism. Suzee hopes to give Marilee the courage needed to stand up to her mother and talk it out with her...

Nah, I'm just kidding. It's a lot more complicated than that.

Suzee Scarface, the titular Doll 538, is a sentient doll who seeks the best for her owners, looking to help them take down the sources of their problems. And that means a whole lot of murder.

Suzee was once a doll who was too helpless to stop her first owner Darla Jones from being beaten to death by her own insane father, with her mother helping to cover up the murder. It was then that Suzee promised to never let that happen again.

With her owners often being put-upon young women trapped in abusive relationships with their parents, Suzee teaches them to stand up for themselves... by having them kill their oppressors, from convincing one of her owners to kill her abusive husband, to instilling enough confidence in a girl to not only take good care in raising her 7 brothers, but also kill the men who were mooching off her mom, and how to prey on her neighbors' pity, making her as cunning and ruthless as any man.

Suzee later falls into the hands of Marilee Morrow, who has to deal with her abusive mother. Feeling that Marilee lacks the courage needed to stand up to her mother and kill her, Suzee comes up with a plan to pit the two against each other in order to make Marilee so angry that she'll one day kill her mom. Suzee earns Marilee's affection by revealing her sentience to her, getting her to show defiance towards her mother as Suzee secretly tries to scar her psyche enough for her to go from a doormat to a killer with a spine. So Suzee destroys Marilee's non-sentient dolls and teddy bear to break her spirit, while also carving up her mom's credit cards and pinning the blame on her to further increase their hostility towards each other. Suzee even goes so far as to drive glass silver under Marilee's fingernails while she's asleep in order to be attacked by her, which to her, is a good sign that Suzee is willing to fight back.

Later on, after a heated battle with her mom, Suzee is finally able to convince Marilee to kill her mother, the little girl preferring to use a cheese grater to slit her throat after Suzee beforehand gave her sleeping pills and sewed her mouth shut after finding her passed out from alcohol consumption. With her mom now dead, Suzee and Marilee perform a happy dance to celebrate, and as Marilee is taken in by child protective services, Suzee ends the story feeling triumphant, happy to have gotten Marilee out of her figurative shell to stand up for herself.

Suzee is very good at manipulating her owners into committing murder, mainly by getting them on her good side and implanting ideas of murder into their heads. She's able to turn young girls into killers, and even get away with it, too.

And while Suzee does have some pent-up anger, considering she hates how her owners often suffer at the hands of their abusers, it doesn't backfire on her in any serious way, and she still comes out the victor.

Suzee is a very WellIntentionedExtremist who wants what's best for her owners: which mainly involves killing people. Bad people, to be fair. Suzee genuinely loves her owners and wants what's best for them, even if she has to harm them to get what she wants. She wanted to give Marilee a backbone, and if she had to worsen the relationship between her and her mom into getting the chance to kill her, then so be it. Either way, Suzee still loves her.

''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' is a cartoon series based on everybody's favorite bat-influenced superhero that lasted from 2004 to 2008. The show's been discussed on here before, netting us two keeps in the form of The Joker and Hugo Strange. But thanks to our boy Ravok, there's another candidate that we've overlooked.

The Joining is a HiveMind race of aliens that make a habit of destroying planets.

Debuting in the Season 4 two-part finale, "The Joining", the title alien has already wiped out half the planets in the galaxy, to the point where the alien J'onn J'onzz appears on Earth in order to put a stop to them. A being of many bodies, but of one singular mind, the Joining uses Wayne Industry's gadgets to assist them in the planet's destruction, having made a habit of harvesting a planet's technology in order to destroy what's left of it. Launching a worldwide attack that sees many cities in flames, the Joining attempts to combine all of their ships in order to create a laser that will destroy Earth as a last-ditch effort, but their foiled at the very last moment by Batman launching a surprise counterattack.

Returning in the two-part series finale, "Lost Heroes", the Joining makes a pact with Hugo Strange to give him knowledge of the universe and their technology as long as he neutralizes the Justice League to allow them to once again try and destroy the world. But once again, their plan is foiled by the League, and the Joining is defeated.

What kept the Joining off the list was its agency, whether or not it was an entire species doing the work, or if it lacked independence. J'onzz makes it very clear that "The Joining's an it, not a they," establishing it as an entity that controls the race, not the other way around. And it has a clear-cut personality, coming across as a braggart who is smugly confident that he'll destroy the Earth.

Easily passes it, with countless planets destroyed, and multiple attempts to wipe out all life on Earth, with his attacks portrayed with the gravitas you'd expect.

''Anime/SpyXFamilyCodeWhite'' is a movie based on the popular manga of the same name. Set within the anime continuity, the Forgers go on a trip to the winter town of Frigis to help Anya in her upcoming Eden Academy cooking competition, which Loid hopes will win her a Stella needed to prevent a war between the East and West from happening.

But while he's there, the family finds out that something evil is afoot, as they end up stumbling into a conspiracy that could threaten the entire world.

Colonel Snidel seeks to use a microfilm to accelerate the potential war between the East and West.

Doing anything he can to commence the war, which as the anime has shown, would result in dire consequences, Snidel is introduced as a {{jerkass}} who will go to great lengths to acquire the microfilm and launch his attack.

Frequently mistreating his soldiers, while unafraid to kill traitors on a whim, upon finding out that Anya accidentally swallowed the microfilm contained in a chocolate truffle, Snidel gives his henchmen the orders to disembowel her and fish for the microfilm that way if she doesn't shit it out instead. Even after Anya does her business in the bathroom, Snidel still plans to vivisect her for fun.

But Loid arrives and saves the day, knocking Snidel out in a fight while disguised as him. After that, Snidel just... disappears from the plot. We never really find out what happened to him, whether or not he survived the crashing of his zeppelin, or if he's still out there.

None. Snidel is ultimately a terrorist who holds little respect for his soldiers, often threatening them into following his orders. And while the trope page claims that he has respect for Loid, he still tries to kill him with a poisonous gas that even his own soldiers think is going too far.

While Snidel doesn't do a whole lot of stuff in the movie (he's kind of a standard NonSerialMovie villain), his plans are still catastrophic on a global level, he doesn't mind killing a 5-year-old to further his plans, and he's portrayed as an all around selfish asshole.

Compared to the anime's canon, Snidel easily passes. The only other competition he has is Kepler, who is basically the same but on a far smaller scale, and minus the animal abuse.

While Snidel doesn't do much in the movie, his plans are catastrophic on a global level, he doesn't mind killing a 5-year-old to further his plans, and he's portrayed as an all around selfish asshole.

I must ask y'all a question. Are you tropers? Well, what ''kind'' of tropers are you?

The unnamed soldier (played by an uncredited Creator/JessePlemons) is the leader of a pack of gunmen who kill anybody they deem non-American.

Taking hostage those who pass by his base, the soldier has those he views as un-American gunned down, their bodies dumped into a massive open grave. After taking journalists Jessie and Bodhi hostage, we find that the soldier's grave houses dozens upon dozens of corpses, including children.

With Lee, Joel, and Joel's friend Tony trying to negotiate with the soldier to let the two go, the soldier casually kills Bodhi and promises to let them all go... if they tell him what ''kind'' of American they are. More specifically, where they're from. Lee and Joel give their answers, but when a distraught Tony answers "Hong Kong", the soldier shoots him with zero hesitation.

Getting ready to shoot Jessie regardless of what they say next, the three are saved by Sammy, who plows their news van right through the soldier to save them. But one of the soldier's men shoots him as they escape, with Sammy dying from his wound a few hours later.

None. The soldier is just a racist, ultra-patriotic man who will gladly kill anybody he deems non-American, and given by his attitude towards even Lee and Joel, not even ''they'' get special treatment.

Despite appearing in only one scene (Plemmon shot this scene in a day), the soldier stands out for having the highest body count in the movie (which like I've said, includes children), and for being the most SociopathicSoldier encountered by our troupe of reporters on their journey. While the President may've caused a ton of bloodshed, the soldier has no connection to either side of the battle; he's just some random, racist fuckwad looking for an excuse to kill people he thinks are a threat to his country.

Now Ravok and I were almost not going to propose this guy because we at first couldn't decide if he was the leader of the soldiers. But upon reevaluation, it's clear that he's the one calling the shots (besides, he visually stands out from his own men, and since he's given more focus, it's heavily implied that he's the brains behind the operation).

''Desperation'' is a 2006 TV movie based on [[Literature/{{Desperation}} the Stephen King novel of the same name,]] directed by Mick Garris and written by King himself.

Travelers be weary of the Nevada town of Desperation. For inside, is the evil sheriff Collie Entragian, who locks up innocents who pass by. But inside the cells is the little boy David Carver, who was sent by God to stop a greater evil that's plaguing Desperation. Also there is the former alcoholic Vietnam vet turned writer [[strike:Stephen King]] John Edward Marinville, and Mary Jackson, whose husband Peter was killed by Entragian.

But for those familiar with the story, things are much more complicated than that.

Tak (played by a scenery chewing Creator/RonPerlman) is a demonic entity who travels the world sowing destruction and death wherever he goes.

Unearthed from the Desperation mining shaft long ago, Tak went on to murder the miners and soon the entire town. Tak spent many years possessing people and using them to commit murder, with his hosts' bodies quickly decaying before having to jump to another one. Tak would go on to kill 87 people in a Vietnam bar, and later returns to Desperation in the present, controlling the body of the town's sheriff Collie Entragian.

As Collie, Tak would go on to frame travelers for marijuana possession and have them locked up, even killing some for fun, including Mary's husband Peter, and the Carver family's little daughter. With the bodies of Desperation's previous residents littering the stores and jail, Tak later possesses the body of Ellie Carver in order to continue his murders, hoping to kill his escaped prisoners, especially her son David, who was sent by God to stop him. But he's eventually foiled by Marnville, who destroys him at the heart of the mine from which he came from, putting an end to his reign of terror.

None. Tak does what he does ForTheEvulz.

BigBad, settles it. Tak is responsible for decades of murder, children included, and hopes to continue his murders for the foreseeable future.

''Film/MonkeyMan'' is a 2024 action movie that serves as the directorial debut for Creator/DevPatel, who also starred and co-wrote it. Patel went through hell and back making this movie (it was shot in India right when COVID started breaking out for one thing), and it's thanks to Creator/JordanPeele stepping in that it managed to get released. Also (don't mean to brag), I actually got to see the movie's premiere at SXSW this year.

Patel stars as "Kid", a man whose village was destroyed by a corrupt police force during his childhood, with his mom serving as one of the casualties. Out for blood against the ones who ruined his life, and heavily influenced by the legend of Hanuman, Kid finds he has to tango with India's elite who rule the country from the shadows.

Baba Shakti is an insidious guru who secretly controls the far right nationalist Sovereign Party.

A beloved celebrity who claims to have [[FromNobodyToNightmare rose from nothing]], Baba preaches his twisted version of Hinduism on television while spouting patriotic nonsense to get the country's denizens on his side. Baba uses his connections to politicians and corrupt police forces to spread corruption all over India, from attempting to rid the country of those he deems undesirables (including trans people and those who don't practice Hinduism like Muslims and Christians), to prostitution and drug trafficking at the hands of the madam Queenie.

But his worst act comes from his businesses. Baba personally commands the police to wipe out villages of their people in order to use their land to build factories. The survivors are converted into his devout followers and used as slave labor for his factories, even passing off his terrible working conditions as the complainer just not being a good enough follower.

As the Sovereign Party continue to rise in the upcoming election, Baba continues to use his platform to encourage beatings of Muslims and other undesirables for the good of the country, including a montage of violent riots and hate crimes committed by his followers. At the very end, after Kid has entered his domain, Baba uses a secret shiv in his sandals to stab Kid in the stomach. But Kid gets the upper hand and stabs him repeatedly. Baba uses his final breath to beg for mercy, but Kid stabs the false guru in the forehead, putting an end to his terror.

None. Baba spouts about how he's doing everything for the greater good, to better benefit India. But it's obvious that he's just saying all of that to cover his true intention to gain power. Baba's really just a nasty cultist who doesn't practice his pacifistic preachings, and even Dev Patel himself has said that Baba represents how people can use religion to corrupt, painting him as a fully NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist.

Baba's the BigBad, responsible for a whole lot of death, violence, corruption, and the ruination of Kid's life through his village massacres.

Rana Singh is the crooked chief of police who is in Baba's pockets.

Responsible for carrying out Baba's corruption in return for drugs and women, Rana allows his cops to commit hate crimes like abusing trans and muslim civilians to purify India. But Rana is heavily involved in Baba's plan to wipe out villages to build his factories, with Rana leading the charge and resulting in dozens of deaths.

With Kid's village being one of many, Rana commences the attacks, and even takes a break from the carnage to attempt to rape Kid's mother. But when she retaliates, Rana strangles her to death, even burning her body for good measure. Encountered by Kid several times many years later, Rana repeatedly taunts him about his mom, but Kid finally gets his revenge by beating the every-loving fuck out of him to death. Can't say he didn't earn that.

Nothing. Unlike Baba, who at least tries to be FauxAffablyEvil, Rana doesn't believe in his rhetorics, and is helping him for money, sex, and power.

Rana's TheDragon to Baba's plans, and is his most fully active henchman. Rana participates in Baba's worst crimes like the village massacres, plus he's a pervert who tried to rape Kid's mother. He's a very personal villain to Kid, as he was the one who murdered his mother, and is given more gravitas compared to the likes of Queenie.

Another simple keep.

'''Who is She?'''

Antoinette du Sang is a vicious vampire from Fiona's past who Belial seeks to use for his plans.

'''What has she done?'''

Debuting in S2's third episode, "The Bridge", Antoinette was once a friend of fellow vampire Fiona, but upon finding out she fell in love with a human, Antoinette slaughtered an entire ballroom and turned him into a vampire out of spite, feeling that all vampires should be bloodthirsty animals. Her soul was later taken and placed in a jar to end her madness.

Returning in S2's sixth episode, "The Return", Antoinette is revived by Belial and happily accepts his offer to terrorize everybody in New Orleans to help him if it means slaughtering as many people as she wants. Killing a guy before trying to massacre a town hall meeting, Antoinette is scared off after a fight with Fiona. Launching another attack after recovering and feeding off of more people, Antoinette threatens to kill Stanley's mother, the mayor, if they don't leave her alone. This leads to a final battle between Fiona and Antoinette, the latter even gleefully promising that she will just keep coming back to kill everybody she loves.

But Fiona's able to put a stake through her heart, ending her nightmare for good.

None.

Antoinette is easily the worst vampire on the show, with a nice body count to match, and an even larger attempted body count. While she may be working for Belial, she's joins him out of pure sadism with intent to kill as many humans as she wants. She's also a very personal villain toward the major side character Fiona, having been responsible for turning her husband into a vampire and trying to ruin her life because she felt affection toward humans.

'''Who is He?'''



'''What has he done?'''

Our next and final episode will be Season 4's "Prisoner". Here, Jody tries to accomplish a bounty when Colt refuses to tackle it, only to get sent to the prison along with the target for fighting in public. But as it turns out, the prison they're sent to, Cell Block 6, is a complete facade for an insidious criminal operation. All of which is led by this man.

Sheriff Bates is the true leader of Cell Block 6, a supposed women's correctional facility that's really a front for an illegal prostitution ring.

Having set up this business because he wasn't making much on a sheriff's salary, Bates uses bribes to the town's judge get away with having innocent women kidnapped off the street under bullshit charges and tossed into his prison. There, the prisoners' wills are broken by harsh punishments and abusive guards to the point where they will do anything to get out of Cell Block 6.

Bates takes advantage of this to pimp the prisoners out for cash, sending batches of his prisoners out to foreign countries for the pleasure of his clients. With his latest cargo about to go off to South America after being sold to a general, Colt and pals interrupt the transportation before the flight could take off, and he and his minions are all arrested.

Nothing. Bates is motivated solely by money, willing to ruin the lives of dozens of women because he feels he wasn't getting a big enough salary.

Bates is sole human trafficker on the show, so he easily stands out among the crowd. And that's on top of the hellish conditions of his illegal prison and the he conditions his prisoners into allowing themselves to be prostituted as a way to escape. It's pretty messed up.

''Series/TheFallGuy'' is an action show from the 80s created by Glen A. Larson.

Lasting for 5 seasons, the show stars Creator/LeeMajors as Colt Seavers, a stuntman who moonlights as a bounty hunter alongside his cousin Howie Munson and professional stuntwoman Jody Banks. TheyFightCrime. Like a lot of action shows at that time, it was very formulaic, not very daring, and aged in places, but there's at least some fun to be had with some of the material.

Our first candidate comes from Season 1's "License to Kill" two-parter. Here, Colt and the gang head to Hawaii to arrest a rogue CIA agent named Ryker, who is on the run for some reason. With the assistance of the CIA and navy, Colt finds out that Ryker's actually on the hunt for a deadly terrorist who has implanted a mole within the CIA.

Salem is an international terrorist who Ryker is trying to hunt down in Hawaii.

A "murderous piece of slime" who has terrorized half the world for ten years, and has killed men, women, and children in the name of any cause willing to pay him, Salem is hired by a mysterious client to kill the president of San Samoa in Honolulu. Using his mole, Agent Bradshaw, to frame Ryker as a criminal and allow him to go undetected by the CIA, Salem has Ryker's friend and partner Chang killed while investigating, and has Bradshaw kill an injured Ryker. Speaking of Bradshaw, Salem is pretty open about being willing to sell him out if need be in order to save his own skin.

Salem hopes to assassinate the president by flying over him while he's in his limousine and dropping stolen grenades over him, uncaring about the collateral damage that would ensue, including the death of the president's bodyguards, his wife, and three kids. Ultimately, Salem is shot down by Colt in the process of his assassination, and is arrested for his crimes.

It's an 80s action show, so that means a lot of the criminals are going to be very generic bad guys, often thugs, mob bosses, and more with a few measly murders at most.

Salem definitely stands out for being a global threat with a long history of murder, and he does just enough in the present to reinforce his reputation as a total slimeball.

Our next and final episode will be Season 4's "Prisoner".

''VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge'' is an insane and ''very'' difficult Famicom game from 1986 by the one and only Creator/TakeshiKitano, who created the game as one massive middle finger to gamers and video games in general. While the game never left Japan, there exists an English fan translation online.

The game concerns a nameless salaryman who can do whatever he wants. You can drink, you can sing karaoke, you can take guitar lessons, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick you can kill your wife and kids]], it's basically proto-GTA. But there is a plot to this game, which is impossible to find out how to progress unless you have a guide; which was Kitano's intention. You only get one life, and when you lose it, you're going all the way back to the beginning. And did I mention this game is hard?

To progress, the player must quit their job, get drunk, divorce your wife, find secret stashes of money, take Shamisen lessons, waste more money playing pachinko, and sing three songs at karaoke bar. All while defending yourself from Yakuza thugs who won't leave you alone, and can drain your health in seconds. And we haven't even gotten to the hard part of the game yet.

Everything changes though when this man shows up.

The nameless old man is a supposedly wise fellow who hands the salaryman a treasure map after defeating some Yakuza thugs at a karaoke bar.

With the map being a blank piece of paper, the old man is nevertheless confident that the salaryman will "solve the map's riddle", the player has to do some crazy shit to reveal the map's true contents (like either soak it in water between 5-10 real life minutes and "cry" into the second controller microphone/press the a button, or leave it in the sun without touching the controller for an hour).

But the true motives of the old man aren't revealed until literally the end of the game. After going through so much torment getting to the treasure, the old man appears before you at ''the very last second'' revealing that he was actually after the treasure as well, and that he was just following the player all this time in order to find it. The old man then kills the player and successfully takes the treasure for himself, requiring them to play through '''the entire game all over again.'''

So to get around this kaizo trap, the player has to actually beat the old man to death before venturing off to the island.

The old man appears to be a wise sage type who promises the salaryman treasure, but really is just using him to reveal the contents of the map, and secretly follows him all the way to the treasure in order to steal it all for himself. And he succeeds, too. Well, if you don't kill him before heading to the island, but that requires hindsight to have known to do that. When you think about it, the old man as the first KaizoTrap in gaming.

It helps too that the salaryman, canonically, is a piece of shit. Considering he literally gets drunk, divorces his wife (possibly beats her and his kids), and quits his job just to hunt for treasure. Honestly, the old man did us a favor for beating him to the treasure and killing him.

The old man is willing to trick the salaryman into going on a dangerous adventure to uncover the treasure for him, and then goes so far as to kill him and claim the treasure for himself when he succeeds.

But again, he's still a better person than the salaryman.

''Acceleration'' is a pretty bad action movie from 2019 starring Natalie Burn and Creator/DolphLundgren.

Rhona is a mob assassin who, after giving birth to her son Mika, steals some guns and money in order to make an escape from her life of crime. But one night, the mobster Vladik kidnaps Mika and forces Rhona to kill some people in exchange for Mika's life, hoping to wipe out the competition and expand his criminal empire.

But while Vladik ultimately proves to have some redeeming qualities, the same can't be said about one of his targets.

Jack "[[IronicNickname the Flower]]", Rhona's fifth target, is a human trafficker and former partner of Vladik, whose business in skin trading disgusted him.

Tasked to acquire Jack's ledger that details his multiple deals, Rhona sneaks inside his base and finds some people locked up. After releasing them, Rhona gets into a fight with some of Jack's mooks, and gets knocked out. Waking up partly naked and tied up, Jack, angry that Rhona interfered with his business by freeing his products, decides to punish her by keeping her around as a sex slave for his drugged up men to rape as long as they want, even hoping to sell her at a very deep discount once they grow bored of her after a year.

After Rhona breaks from her straps, she sneaks past Jack's room, where he's busy taking sleazy photos of a crying woman while happily telling her that he'll sell her to somebody in Serbia. Jack meets his fate when Rhona acquires his ledger and jams him with the knife that he uses as a bookmark (which he does for some weird reason).

None. While everybody else in the movie has at least something redeeming, Jack has nothing. He's just a nasty sadist who cares more about money.

So Vladik, despite being set up to be the main villain, turns out to be the father of Mika, with Rhona as his former lover. Vladik is shown to not only have standards, but deeply cares for Mika, and even helps Rhona get him back from his boss Kane.

And Kane, despite being the true villain and a total asshole in his own right, is shown to have standards of his own as well, like how he takes great pain to ensure Mika's safety despite kidnapping him.

Jack, despite his short screentime, outdoes everybody else in evil, with his prostitution business given just enough screen presence, threats of rape, and a ledger containing his many human transactions.

''Series/FrankHerbertsDune'' and ''Series/FrankHerbertsChildrenOfDune'' are a duology of miniseries by the [[Creator/{{Syfy}} Sci-Fi Channel]]. Despite the channel's reputation for in-house programming, both miniseries (especially the latter) were lauded for their faithfulness toward the source material that [[Film/Dune1984 the previous adaptation]] lacked.

The first miniseries was a straight adaptation of the [[Literature/{{Dune}} first book]], comprised of three 90-minute episodes. The second miniseries combined the [[Literature/DuneMessiah second]] and [[Literature/ChildrenOfDune third]] books together into another three episode story.

And as you can expect, there's a certain somebody who I'll be proposing.

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is the ever-so evil and obese ruler of the House Harkonnen, and every bit as vile as his original book counterpart.

Seeking control of the Spice to gain immense power, Baron sets up shop on the planet Arrakis in order to harvest the Spice for himself, using his dimwitted nephew Glossu Rabban to submit the planet and its inhabitants, the Fremen, to his whim through murder and fear, even having the Fremen villagers hunted for sport. Baron hopes to have Rabban terrorize a village so that his prized nephew Feyd-Rautha can step in, kill his brother, and act as the Fremens' savior so that he gain their trust, even grooming his "handsome" nephew to be his eventual successor.

A disgusting slob in the meantime, Baron also has young boy slaves do his bidding for him, often forcing them to sleep with him for personal pleasure. Baron even owns a slave pit that Gurney was once a part of, even having his young slaves sent to his nephew Feyd to fight to the death for his amusement, with hundreds dying by Feyd's hands.

Baron, with the help of Feyd, orchestrates the Emperor's desire to see the downfall of House Atreides so that he can control the Spice and obtain power over the universe, along with paying what he sees as revenge on the Atreides' for humiliating his bloodline for centuries. Implanting Dr. Yueh as the traitor among the Atreides family, while promising to free his wife should he succeed, Baron gives his men the orders to take no prisoners during the attack on House Atreides.

Upon Lady Jessica's capture, Baron gloats that he could cut her vocal cords and allow Piter to rape her, but instead opts to just throw her into the desert to die among the sands of Arakis alongside Paul, as that would make it look like he wasn't personally responsible for the attack. Upon the attack's completion, Baron presents the traitor Yueh with the dead body of his wife, claiming that as he's a man of his word, he has indeed "freed" her soul from this world. But Baron has Yueh killed anyway, as one should never trust a traitor, even one they created. Baron even kept the paralyzed Leto alive so that he could witness his empire crumble.

But Baron has bigger plans, as he secretly plots with Feyd to assassinate the Emperor so that he can take his place as ruler of the universe. Baron also assists the Emperor in the Fremen genocide to crush the rebels led by Paul, now "Muad'dib". Attempting to kill Paul's little sister Alia when she reveals herself as a distraction for the Fremen rebels to enact their attack, she ends up fatally stabbing him, putting an end to the Baron's evil ways... or so we thought.

Returning as a Ghola many years later, Baron, desiring revenge, acts as the grown up Alia's spiritual advisor, corrupting her into becoming such a paranoid dictator that she wishes to murder Jessica and Paul's twin children to secure her spot. His possession of her proves to be so horrible that, when given the option by Leto-II to either kill him or commit suicide, Alia chooses the latter option, finally dying as herself and foiling the Baron's plan.

None. While Baron claims that he's angry at the Atreides for humiliating his family, that doesn't mean he actually cared about them; considering he openly despises Rabban, isn't afraid to kill his precious Feyd if he falls out of line, and will gleefully possess his own granddaughter to kill his daughter and other family members, it's safe to say that Baron is only concerned about his ego and lineage, which he sees his bloodline as an extension of.

The Baron ''is'' the standard, responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths, slave pits, molestations, attempted genocide, and more. While the fall of House Atreides and Fremen genocide can be traced back to the Emperor, it's the Baron who is the most involved in carrying out his plans, while having a couple of nasty side-hobbies of his own.

Sadly, Rabban doesn't do much to count. When he's not getting insulted by his uncle, Rabban primarily oppresses the Fremen (all of which is offscreen), publicly kills some captured Fremen rebels as a lesson to a village... and that's it. Unlike other adaptations, he doesn't participate in the House Atreides massacre, nor does he get involved in the Fremen genocide, unlike his uncle.

None. While Baron claims that he's angry at the Atreides for humiliating his family, that doesn't mean he actually cared about them; considering he openly despises Rabban, and isn't afraid to kill his precious Feyd if he falls out of line, it's safe to say that Baron is only concerned about his ego and lineage, which he sees his bloodline as an extension of.

This guy comes from ''Cyberpunk 2020''.

Joshua Brightman is a vicious serial killer dubbed "The Night City Stalker" by the media.

A former electronic store manager who killed over 32 people before his prison sentence for kidnapping and attempted murder, upon Brightman's release 17 years later, he goes right back to killing, claiming more victims as the media can only speculate the Stalker's true identity. Brightman also enjoys "spooking" (i.e. torturing) his intended victims before finishing them off.

With the fixer Carole Medina having solid evidence that could finally prove he's the Stalker (a shoebox containing gruesome photos), Brightman attempts to murder her before the day the info gets picked up by a major news outlet, who are betting over which network can broadcast the news first. It's up to the players to protect her from Brightman, who is armed with enough guns, knives, and more to take Carole out.

Zilch.

Brightman is easily the worst serial killer in Night City, with dozens of gruesome murders and a twisted personality. For a villain who's only talked about for over two pages, and who has very little resources, Brightman does just enough to establish himself as a malevolent psychopath.

'''Who is She?'''

'''What does she do?'''



'''Is she charming? Intelligent? Able to think on her feet?'''

'''Is she a bitch? Too much of one?'''

''Film/JohnCarpentersVampires'' is a 1998 movie directed by... well, John Carpenter, loosely based on [[Literature/{{Vampires}} the book of the same name]] by the late Creator/JohnSteakley.

While Jan Valek still keeps, there's one baddie we've overlooked.

Cardinal Alba is a seemingly benevolent, elderly member of the Vatican and Jack Crow's boss who tasks him with stopping Jan Valek from stealing the Black Cross of Berziers.

But there's a bit more to him than that.

In actuality in cahoots with Valek for a while, Alba, having grown afraid of dying, decided to denounce his faith in God and join forces with Valek, having assisted Valek in his plan to use the Black Cross to grant him immunity from the sun, in return for becoming a vampire.

Acting as Valek's mole in the Vatican, Alba is heavily implied to have been the one to allow Valek to slaughter the motel containing prostitutes and Jack's former crew, alongside the Spanish missionary guarding the Black Cross. Since the ritual needed to activate the Black Cross requires the blood of a crusader, Alba chooses to use Jack as the key to awaken the Black Cross's power. Alba has Jack crucified and uses his blood to commence the ritual, but right before he could finish it, he's shot and taken down by Father Adam Guiteau from afar.

Zero. While Alba appears polite, it's all an act to hide the monster from within. Alba knows exactly what he's doing, and is downright proud of it, even referring approving of Jack calling him "a pile of dogshit" because it's true.

So while Valek is certainly heinous, and then there are the keepers from the direct-to-video sequels, Alba is an entirely human threat who selfishly sells out humanity for a chance to achieve immortality, to become a vampire to rule alongside Valek, as well as allow Valek to massacre several innocents to get what he wants. Alba is a traitor to not only his organization, but also the entire human race, and he doesn't care.

''VideoGame/MarioTheMusicBox'' is a very... fascinating fan game. It's basically what would happen if you made a game in the vein of ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'', ''VideoGame/MadFather'', and ''VideoGame/TheWitchsHouse''... but have it star Mario and Luigi, with a very dark plot and little in the way of humor. While the game itself has a lot of effort behind it, and the creator made the game during a very dark time in her life, there are parts of the game unfortunately dripping with {{narm}} solely because of its premise. But I digress.

The game was followed up by an expansion known as ''ARC'' and the ''Wonderland'' DLC, where Mario is transported to a twisted version of Wonderland that he has to escape from. The first game also got a remake in 2021, but we're going to be talking about the original version.

The story involves Mario going to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the Mushroom Kingdom, which is said to be cursed, as many who enter it haven't returned. While there, Mario opens up a music box and unleashes a curse that prevents him from leaving. Now Mario, with the help of Luigi and the supposed inspector Riba, must find a way out of the mansion while uncovering all of its secrets. Oh, and while trying to avoid very gory deaths and game overs.

Later expansions shed more light on the mansion's residents, such as the fate of the nearby Evangeline Town that resides beside the mansion, and the reason why Mario and Luigi were drawn back to the mansion despite having no familiarity with it.

But most of the tragedies surrounding these games can all be traced back to one person.

'''Who is She?'''

Len Alwena Foska, taking the form of an innocent black cat, is later revealed to be the evil and sadistic Witch of Fate who is responsible for most of the events of the entire series.

'''What has she done?'''

Having given the witch hunter clergyman Marchionne Evangelisti a brooch that would grant him whatever wish he desired should he be on the brink of death, upon his eventual execution at the hands of Riba, Len predicted that Marchionne would use the brooch to reset the world to be with his loved ones once again. But Len had a condition for Marchionne: if he were to use it, he would be her test subject for her studies on human nature. Len knew that Marchionne's reincarnation, Mario, would one day return to Evangeline Town centuries later, and that he would be the subject of her tests. Len also gave the newlyweds Alice and Riba a music box as a gift, which would set the stage for Alice's cursing of the mansion and Evangeline, which would result in several deaths, and further set up the events of the series.

Revealing herself in ''ARC'''s Missing Ending C/Continuance 4 Ending, Len reveals that she has witnessed Mario die several times in multiple different points in time, revealing that each new save is a new world where Mario learns from his previous mistakes and survives a little bit longer. Gleefully revealing to Mario that he's died several times in the previous endings as part of her experiments, it turns out that every death the player suffers throughout these games is canon, and that no matter how hard Mario tries, he will never break the cycle. Upon Mario surviving an onslaught of her attacks, Len still murders him, feeling that this version of him is no longer needed for her experiment, and sends him down a pit. But Mario wakes up to find that the pit is filled with the corpses of... himself, the previous experiments who all died from the numerous, numerous deaths one can encounter throughout these games.

Becoming the true villain of the ''Wonderland'' DLC, while also taking the place of the Chesire Cat, it's revealed that Len worked with Marchionne to create the Wonderland dimension as a way to reincarnate his soul into his old world and gain ultimate power, despite the fact that it wasn't exactly what Marchionne wanted. Len has Marchionne remade into King Sündige Nacht, who's supposed death kickstarts the plot. Len uses Nacht to her liking, manipulating a series of tragedies such as driving the Mad Hatter to murderous insanity and allowing innocents to be executed for Nacht's supposed murder in order to further experiment on the population. For Marchionne to escape from this dimension, Mario would have to finish the game... which Len makes sure doesn't happen.

With many Marios dying during this entire time, which creates an endless cycle of Mario failing to succeed, in the Missing E Ending, Len removes Mario's voice after he's been arrested for Nacht's "murder", thus preventing him from speaking out during his trial and facing execution. When Marchionne expresses his disapproval over yet another failed attempt, Len has him killed, despite having promised to let Marchionne live, solely because she feels she's allowed to terminate an experiment as she pleases. In the Missing F Ending, after Nacht is killed by Mario, Len, refusing to end her experiment, manipulates Mario into taking possession of his crown and wishing to rule Wonderland, stating her anticipation of waiting for the cycle to be broken, but ready to enjoy every tragic moment of it until that happens.

Nope! Len is a vile witch who is willing to put many people through eternal suffering for the sake of experimenting on them, and is even willing to intervene in her own experiments if she feels they're not interesting enough.

The only somewhat nice thing she does is in an ending in ''ARC'' where, if the player doesn't save, the entire game's revealed to have been a coma dream Mario had after suffering a crash while karting. Len appears in her cat form to let Mario know that she doesn't need him for her experiments anymore, since he never had to save and thus never died once, thus she lets him go. But it's heavily implied through her dialogue that she only did this out of pragmatism; since she only values people as part of her experiment; the fact that she ominously says "So in other words... I don't need you" shows that this isn't meant to be an act of genuine altruism. Again, she doesn't see people as people, just test subjects in her labyrinth, so to her, letting Mario go means that he is just simply no longer needed for her experiments.

So the story, despite the weird premise, is played very straight. And there are some ''nasty'' villains in this game, but none of them count. Let's go over our three big ones, shall we?

* Alice Aduraice, despite being a psychopath responsible for cursing her mansion, behind several deaths out of either jealousy or an attempt to gain immortality, is abusive to her adopted daughter Anna with hopes of sacrificing her eventual child Serina, and has a plan that threatens the entire world, has had a pretty miserable childhood of being abused by her own horrible mother, she genuinely loves Riba despite being obsessive over him, and there's endings where she can pull a HeelFaceTurn after realizing the error of her ways, even showing regret for mistreating Anna.
* Riba, despite being a demon who ruined Marchinonne's life by killing him and his family for the sake of greed, corrupting Alice into the monster we know her as today, and is a massive dickhead, genuinely loved his previous wife Elizabeth and daughter Anna, realizes that he has genuine feelings for Marchionne, and also pulls a HeelFaceTurn in several of the endings.
* Marchionne Evangelisti, despite being responsible for a series of witch hunts with intent to wipe them all out, and is the BigBad of ''ARC'''s Insane Route, deeply cares for his brother Luciano, is a WellIntentionedExtremist, and has had a miserable childhood under his abusive parents who made him the religious KnightTemplar he is today.

Len, meanwhile, doesn't have an excuse for her deeds. She's just a sadistic MadScientist who only values people as part of her experiments. She's responsible for a lot of tragedies, from Marchionne's actions in the Insane Route, to the curse surrounding the Aduraice Mansion and Evangeline Town that's resulted in numerous deaths, to the macabre state of Wonderland, to the hundreds of deaths Mario's been through across hundreds of timelines.
