Theodore t-bag Bagwell Prison Break
evening mrs. Holland
don’t you look lovely this evening
it’s a tough grind in the joint when
you’re behind bars everyone seems to be
out to get you but t-bag actually is yes
that’s where you’re right he uses and
manipulates the inmates for his evil
purposes
which makes him a dangerous adversary
because when you sent me here to this
place these people he brought that old
dirty bastard right back home
convicted of almost everything it’s
possible to be convicted up and leader a
fox rivers Aryan gang t-bag is serving a
life sentence don’t think I won’t
remember what your front steps look like
Susan
when the Schofield brothers hatched
their escape plan this prison yard batty
is quick to weasel his way in and
actually becomes an unlikely ally and
the last in the line of PEG whales the
tail end of a corrupted breed thank God
shall see no more of our generations
number nine
Nina Myers 24 how are you gonna pull
this off track pretending to be Alexis I
don’t know yet the best arch enemies are
often friends at the start even lovers
in day one of 24 Nina
is Jack Bauer’s ally and confidant as
they attempt to uncover a plot to
assassinate a United States Senator
we can’t trust Jamie jack says CTU had
been infiltrated are you saying Jamie’s
is fine why else would she lie in a
world of spies and double-crossing it’s
easy to get lost
but Jack is certain of Nina’s loyalty
until it’s too late
yeah well be a very sensitive guy Jack I
never seen that side of you drop it
Teddy were working Jack and walk and
chew gum at the same time hey Jack
her sharp intellect boldness and skills
in espionage make Nina a formidable foe
who keeps pulling Jack Bauer back into
her web of lies and deceit Tony you have
to listen to me carefully no one at CTU
can know I’m alive who would think you
were dead I can’t tell you any more
right now
number eight Arthur Mitchell also known
as the Trinity Killer Dexter hey what
brings you here this fine day Arthur
Mitchell is an upstanding citizen father
and husband he gives back to his
community and always has a smile on his
face small cracks in the perfect family
which makes them perfectly normal on his
off time though
Mitchell commits a series of gruesome
serial murders a cycle which he’s been
repeating since he was young
it’s already or like the series
protagonist Dexter Arthur Mitchell is a
serial killer who must maintain a normal
social life and that makes Dex look up
to him as a mentor because helping
someone is a good deed and God rewards
good deeds but in order to help I need
to know the problem that’s how these
things work really don’t want to talk
about it you asked me
however unlike dexter mitchell murders
the innocent which puts the two into
conflict I thought God sent you so that
I could save you but God had another
plan so did I he said you to save me not
exactly
number seven the governor the walking
dead it’s hard to keep it together
during a zombie apocalypse but the
governor does just that at the cost of
his own sanity as the leader of a
seemingly idyllic safe place that
shields people from the hordes of
oncoming biters
the governor is well-spoken polite and
courteous like most lovable bad guys I
strike is the kind of – it’s pretty that
is until things don’t go his way
demonstrating a whole mess of
psychopathic tendencies the governor is
not above torture or cold-blooded murder
go put a muscle into that young man’s
days he declares open war on Rick and
the gang and stops at nothing to
exterminate them they’re no different to
the fighters they’re not gonna stop
until they kill us all take it
everything we’ve worked so hard for
number six
jr ewing dallas violenta you take care
now here Larry Hagman portrayed TVs
favorite evil oil baron until and even
beyond his 2012 death I was working late
since the late 70s he plotted and
contrived against his rivals to seize as
much property and money as possible
I don’t have time to talk about it to
Ellen I’ve got to get out on the road
Ewing was a classic villain and that his
motive was for the most part clearly
defined as greed look for waste it’s
money you want I’ll show you where it is
don’t have much in the house but you’re
welcome to all we go like all good
baddies he also had a knack for
needlessly complex plans and his
villainy earned him more than a share of
enemies which is why no one was quite
sure who shot jr. we shot you missed you
don’t know how it happened you seem to
have some communion with this island
John and that makes you very very
important number five Ben Linus lost
like the island he inhabits Ben is a
mysterious inscrutable character with
perpetually shifting loyalties Juliet is
gathering information for us at your
former camp
she’s determining if any of the women
are pregnant then we’re gonna go in and
take them
his cold-blooded decisions and slow
monotonous voice have branded him as a
villain among the survivors of the
island I think the technical term is
shock and awe they’re trying to frighten
me into surrendering but Ben’s motives
remain unclear throughout the series
instead he operates in the shadows and
acts on calculating logic to do what is
best for the island I had a chance to
save her but I chose the island over her
manipulative as anyone else on this list
and cold and detached to boot Ben Linus
is an unreadable foe which makes them
very very dangerous I’m not gonna ask
you again
What did he say to you he said help me
number four gust spring breaking bad you
can never trust a drop addict like
series protagonist Walter White
Gus is a man of two minds and of two
worlds I don’t think we’re alike at all
mr. white in the public eye he’s a
prominent business owner who’s friendly
with his customers and always donates to
the right causes can I help you sir
Diet Coke please in the background
however Gus is the coldly calculating
head of a sprawling drug empire becoming
Walt’s rival and nemesis for a memorable
chunk of the series a crippled little
rata what a reputation to leave behind
ruthless cunning and unscrupulous but
secretly so Gus fring is the kind of bad
guy you love to hate it’s better far if
I do this myself I do this send a raven
to Casterly Rock informed Tywin
Lannister that he has been summoned to
court to answer for the crimes of Gregor
Clegane or be branded an enemy of the
crown and a traitor to the realm number
three
Tywin Lannister game of Thrones the
warden of the West is a powerful warlord
tall imposing and with an unfaltering
gaze you gonna say something clever go
on say something clever his ambition and
courage was such that he was appointed
the King’s hand and commanded fear and
respect from all that heard the
Lannister name no next year not tomorrow
Wow
and while his term was known for its
calm and good fortune you don’t get to
be a powerful warlord without a good
amount of ruthlessness high one is as
ruthless as they get even when it comes
to his own family Lannister’s don’t act
like fools
number two the smoking man the x-files
go ahead make history
good villains are the ones that operate
in shadows and use others to do their
dirty work I have a chance to go an
entire lifetime without killing anybody
or anything the cigarette smoking man so
named for his unhealthy habit
manipulates the US government from the
background and uses any means necessary
to obtain his ends
the personification of evil this is one
baddie who’s not afraid of his own
demise
a man is infiltrated to group that I
work with that’s to kill him while it’s
not clear whether the smoking man is
helping or hindering a possible alien
invasion he still manages to get in
Mulder and Scully’s way this is the end
I never thought I’d hear myself say
those words after all these years before
we unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions Pentagon there’s
something there I need what are you
going to do finish what I’ve started all
you have to do is stop time before I cut
off his head do you think you can do
your little trick before I can do mine
there’s a winner and a loser that’s
again it’s not a game I asked to play no
but you played it very well nonetheless
you’re fun challenging thank you sweet

doing my duty as a citizen bitch hey
easy enough fella that took our money
man I’ve seen it coming well you got a
go

Napoleon of crime dr. James Moriarty has

first appearance in the works of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle I’m sorry I’m sorry
in BBC’s Sherlock Moriarty’s
contemporary incarnation is cold
calculating and delightfully
psychopathic they all want me suddenly
I’m mr. sex
he has no compassion for human life and
will gladly kill innocent bystanders if
it fits into his twisted games alright

one ever will as intelligent as his
nemesis Sherlock Holmes Moriarty is
almost impossible to catch thank you
