you looking someone up fire without
Flint or tinder ah

watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 staff
wielding characters I say would you mind
um hopefully getting out of the way i
sigh
not until you pied it all for this list
we’re taking a look at iconic characters
from movies and TV that use a SCAF as a
weapon to draw the line somewhere we’ve
excluded trident i set certain rules and
i expect those rules to be obeyed
number 10 Rafiki The Lion King let it
take your stick no no no just get
equipped with various African fruits
rafiki’s walking stick is often used for
spiritual purposes such as when young
Simba is born and presented to his
subjects however during the Battle of
Pride Rock this mandrel also
demonstrates that his wooden staff can
be utilized as an effective weapon
taking down hyenas left and right in an
especially poignant moment Rafiki uses
his staff to teach a grown-up Simba a
crucial life lesson the past can hurt
but it’s better to learn from your inner
demons than to run from them the past
can hurt but the way I see it you can
either run from it
Oh learn from ultimately Rafiki staff
acts as a symbol that singles him out as
one of the wisest and most prominent
members of this animal kingdom ow jeez
what was that for
it doesn’t matter you-jin deposit number
9 The Monkey King the Forbidden Kingdom
without your weapon
nothing but a lowly hermit in this rough
adaptation of the classic Chinese novel
Journey to the West The Monkey King is
depicted as playful mysterious and
highly gifted in battle
also known as Sun Wukong this immortal
figure wields a golden staff called ruyi
Jingu bond with his wet beneath head is
G became like a fire during a duel the
Jade warlord tricks him into
relinquishing his weapon turned to stone
The Monkey King manages to send his
magical staff far away realizing he
being treated the monkey can’t cast a
staff out into the middle kingdom many
years later that same staff falls into
the hands of the seeker will free Sun
Wukong according to a prophecy this long
beam foretold that a see Kurt would come
to return to staff and end the reign of
the jay warlord return the staff to who
The Monkey King portrayed by jet week
The Monkey King is full of strength
agility and charisma being a modern
martial arts legend leaves a more than
worthy warrior to carry a legendary
staff being immortal The Monkey King
could not be killed only trapped in
stone number eight Lord Zedd the Power
Rangers franchise he’s gonna ruin
everything
although Billie’s power Lance is pretty
rad the Z staff made us all want to
dress up as Lord Zedd for Halloween I am
no accepted identify yourself this guy
isn’t exactly a subtle villain you can
tell that he’s evil simply based on his
appearance the Z staff completes Ed’s
dastardly ensemble letting his followers
know who’s in charge no it’s time to go
play
yes with it
Zedd can conjure up fiendish monsters to
do is bidding and even make them grow to
great heights of course Zedd can also
use the staff as a weapon when those
pesky Power Rangers get in his way
you’ll try to double-cross me now you
and your precious pink princess will be
powerless together the Z staff certainly
makes that a formidable foe although you
never want to bet against Tommy and his
trusty Saba bullseye
yes not white it’s just like you cold a
slimy number 7 Teal’c Stargate sg-1 take
no offence my friend but your weapons
primitive by comparison any
self-respecting Jafar warrior would
never be seen without his Mitaka staff
aside from functioning as a melee weapon
the staff can also fire a mighty plasma
burst
well done being a Jaffa Teal’c of Chu
Locke is indeed gifted with this
intimidating staff and frequently uses
it in combat this member of the sg-1
team faces death with a straight face
and his trusty staff weapon by aside
chips must resist Cylons oh man your
words are meaningless over the years
Teal’c slowly started to favor earth
weapons on missions while a firearm
admittedly might be more practical in
the field of action will always
associate Teal’c with his staff are you
injured no you are number 6
Morgan Jones the walking dead I’m a
killer Rick I am and you walk too when a
zombie apocalypse transpires Morgan
Jones is someone you’d prefer to have on
your side
after his family is killed this broken
man seeks redemption by taking out
walkers his weapon of choice one badass
staff please following the outbreak he
learned all about the art of Aikido from
another survivor named Eastman using his
bow staff Morgan not only defends
himself against Walker’s but against
dangerous humans as well particularly a
hostile group known as the wolves Morgan
prefers not to kill people with his
death believing that all life is
precious in a dog-eat-dog world however
showing compassion can sometimes be your
greatest weakness to accept everyone to
protect everyone and in doing that
protect yourself
number five Jafar Aladdin yes at times
call for desperate measures my loan
since Jafar is basically a conniving
snake in the grass
it’s only fitting that his staff is
shaped like a cobra and when your snake
staff possesses the ability to hypnotize
of course you use it to manipulate the
over trusting Sultan of Agrabah you will
order the princess to marry me i
rewarded the princess
but you’re so old the princess will
marry as part of a scheme to steal the
throne Jafar nearly brainwashes the
Sultan into approving a marriage between
him and Princess Jasmine
fortunately Aladdin sees right through
the deceitful advisor what makes him
think he is worthy of the princess your
majesty I am Prince Ali Ababwa just let
her meet me but upon acquiring the
genies lamp Jafar gives his staff a
serious upgrade now able to control and
transfigure everyone and everything
around him being an all powerful
sorcerer isn’t enough for Jafar though
which results in his inevitable undoing
does that stuff fit in that itty bitty
living space now where were we
yes abject humiliation number four
gambit the x-men franchise
scammin has returned you want to play
with gambit when people think of gambit
two things come to mind his deck of
playing cards and his bo staff a former
fief who joins the x-men this mutant has
the power to imbue inanimate objects
with kinetic energy
so whenever gambit charges his staff the
results are bound to be mind-blowing
even if you took his mutant abilities
out of the equation gambits would still
be able to crack some skulls due to his
mastery of bol jutsu tailor-made for
staff wielders that’s a nice stick we
can’t wait to see Channing Tatum wheeled
estaphan gambits upcoming standalone
movie assuming it ever gets off the
ground here’s our own Nenana hello and I
never number-3 egg avatar the last
airbender
looking for me compared to the fire
nation’s modern technology Avatar Aang
Airbender staff might seem like a
primitive weapon much like Aang himself
though this staff is more than meets the
eye I’ll be a hog monkey’s uncle
specially tailored for air nomads Aang’s
staff can unfold into a glider this not
only allows him to fly through the sky
but also to perform various airbending
techniques and control air currents hey
there you’re pretty good yeah I know
what I can do more than fancy gliding
made by monks this instrument might be
ancient but it still packs a powerful
blow furthermore the stuff acts as a
link to air nomads culture which Aang is
determined to preserve enough I want my
staff back when his original staff is
destroyed harder bang almost seems
broken as well at least the new one has
a storage compartment for snacks what do
you know it did come in handy
number two Donatello the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles franchise yeah yeah
California roll although he has a way
with all things scientific Donatello can
make do with a simple bo staff when
going up against advanced alien
technology a staff might not seem like
the best combat weapon something even
Donnie admits with all due respect
sensei I can’t keep fighting alien
technology with a 6-foot staff he
eventually learns however that a wooden
stick can be surprisingly practical in
the right hands of course more recently
he’s modified his weapon by adding a
blade turning it into an Aggie Netta I
guess with proper training there’s
nothing better than a wooden stick
whether using a staff or his brains to
get out of a jam Donatello is a force to
be reckoned with plus Donnie’s elongated
staff easily makes him the best
character to play in the NES game No
way before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions I sense
the Dragon Warrior is among us and I
would about waiting for my family
they’ll be back one day come on ah
what’s this
that’s a fighting staff did you hear
that my pet all these years they’ve been
looking for a baby never one Gandalf
the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
franchises go back to the shuttle
Gandalf’s wizard staff is so much more
than an old man’s walking stick it’s a
symbol of his wisdom power and
all-encompassing presence
when confronted by the dreaded Balrog
with a sword in one hand and a staff in
the other Gandalf protects the
fellowship making the ultimate sacrifice
in the process pooch returning is
Gandalf the White he acquires a new
staff and demonstrates several new
abilities most notably when he frees
King Theoden from seramins possession I
will draw you Saruman as poison is drawn
from out while radagast the brown also
deserves a special shout-out nobody
wields a staff quite like Gandalf even
when confronted by the most fearsome
enemy nothing gets past this wizard your
stuff is do you agree with our list
