at least you can be thankful they’re not
real welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top ten sci-fi villains the following
choices are limited to one villain per
film series which means entire species
are excluded as well number 10 Gozer
Ghostbusters goaltender Kovarian good
evening
fresh from a stint in ancient Sumeria
where he struck fear into the hearts of
all mankind gozer the gozerian jumps
straight onto our list with his return
to the mortal plane in ghostbusters ah
you know then ruthless he she or it is
an immortal omnipotent multi-dimensional
shape-shifter with a penchant for
citywide man
nimble little minx enchi a useful tip
for any paranormal investigation team
confronting Gozer ignore caution and
always cross the streams
you were made as well as we could make
you but not to last number 9 Roy batty
Bladerunner the light that burns twice
as bright burns half as long and you
have burned so very very brightly Roy Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is a
question that has plagued man since
philip k dick wrote the novel that
inspired ridley scott’s beautifully
orchestrated sci-fi classic i’ve done
questionable things Roy batty is a
highly intelligent Android going through
an existential crisis during which he
has developed the unfortunate habit of
murdering people instead of dealing with
his personality problems in a healthy
non-lethal way Roy often resorts to epic
rooftop battles quite an experience to
live in fear isn’t it
that’s what it is to be a slave number 8
Queen alien aliens long steely bands
acid blood and a positive team attitude
make the Xenomorphs a formidable
candidate for the most dangerous species
of the year
but the real key to their intergalactic
success is the alien queen 20 feet tall
covered in razor sharp extrusions and
cranky from long hours of egg-laying you
can understand why she’s protective of
her offspring fun fact it took a team of
a dozen puppeteers to give this monster
life kicks number seven Megatron
Transformers franchise I would have
waited an eternity for this the
tyrannical leader of the Decepticons
this sci-fi body has waged a
self-righteous war for power across the
galaxy stop deserve delivery deserve to
choose for themselves die worth while
he’s favored for his cartoon incarnation
his latest bid for supremacy stranded
him on prehistoric earth frozen in the
Arctic
after eons of reflecting on his past
deeds Megatron was unthought and threw
himself immediately back into the swing
of violent warfare and his search for
the Allspark where is the cube a humans
have taken it you fail me yet again
Starscream get them number 6 the
predator predator move over all other
aliens there’s a new baddie in town the
Predators are an extraterrestrial race
who are bred for the sole purpose of
hunting and warfare
what sets these ETS apart is their lone
wolf preference and advance technology
created solely for the purpose of
killing one mother duck instead of
throwing hundreds of them at any other
sentient race and waiting for the smoke
to clear only a single predator is
required to take down even the best
trained elite military forces number
five Agent Smith the matrix did you know
that the first matrix was designed to be
a perfect human world where none
suffered where everyone would be happy
it was a disaster
kill all humans seems to be a recurring
theme on this list and no one
exemplifies that white as well as the
rogue AI Agent Smith
he basically becomes omnipotent and
gains the ability to control the laws of
physics within the matrix even going so
far as to take possession of the other
human avatars within because of you have
changed unplumbed a new man so to speak
like you apparently free Smith’s power
only increases when he becomes a
self-replicating virus following his
first battle with neo I just picked up a
Fault in the ae-35 unit it’s going to go
100% failure within 72 hours number 4
Hal 9000 2001 a Space Odyssey the 9000
series is the most reliable computer
ever made
no 9000 computer has ever made a mistake
or distorted information Stanley Kubrick
was a master of drawing out primal human
fears and this film’s antagonist shows
no exception but Dave I can’t put my
finger on it but I sense something
strange about him engineered to help
protect the team of the discovery 1 Hal
takes his directives one step in the
opposite direction when he murders the
entire crew in self-defense
what makes how so fundamentally scary is
his mechanical inability to feel any
remorse as well as his omniscient
presence throughout the ship hey my mind
is going I can feel it
number three con
Star Trek to the Wrath of Khan God you
still remember or Star Trek into
darkness you are criminal
I watched you murder innocent men and
women I was authorized to end you Khan
is a great character whether he’s being
played by an overzealous chest baring
Ricardo Montalban or the pasty
deep-voiced Benedict Cumberbatch no ship
should go down without a captain that’s
because he is the polar opposite of the
protagonist James Kirk I’ve done far
worse than kill you
I’ve heard you a genius superhuman that
is morally and ethically corrupt Khan
likewise possesses charm know-how and
military prowess which makes him a
formidable opponent he’s intelligent but
not experienced this pattern indicates
two-dimensional thinking the recent
incarnation even has self-regenerating
Wolverine blood to boot captain you’re
gonna punch me again over and over till
your arm weakens number two t800
terminator all be back relentless
single-minded and not afraid to show a
little skin Schwarzenegger’s big beefy
robot is an unfeeling foot soldier
dispatched by an AI that isn’t keen on
the human race
not only are the t800 sophisticated
skeletal killing machines designed to
eradicate mankind but they can also
travel through time making them sci-fi
biggest cheaters
the t1000 is a close second to Arnie’s
original tour de force
before we unveil our topic here are a
few honorable mentions we lived in peace
together it was seamless he’s the one
who killed everybody he’s lying help me
my friend kill him
is that good for you oh my get some for
conside you call man Jones if you must
get yoghurt 300 bucks on a charge of if
I catch the guy the Costas I’ll break
his neck
the manure remember that all programs
have a desire to be useful but in
moments you will no longer seek
communication with each other all your
superfluous useless will each be part of
me together we will be complete can you
hear me number one Darth Vader Star Wars
series yes mister no list of sci-fi bad
guys would be complete without our last
entry
a former Jedi turned Sith Lord Anakin
Skywalker became corrupted by Darth
Sidious on a quest to save Padme and
learn the secrets to immortality if you
only knew the power of a dog’s however
he ended up dedicating the rest of his
life and remaining limbs to the
eradication of the Jedi and helping his
master achieve dominance of the galaxy
