so sometimes possessing great power can
be ones greatest weakness
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
villains destroyed by the power they
sought for this list we’re taking a look
at movie bad guys that aspire to achieve
unstoppable powers ironically resulting
in their downfalls also a spoiler alert
is probably called for
number 10 Ronan the accuser guardians of
the galaxy salvation is that Thor isn’t
the only one in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe with a hammer after coming into
possession of an infinity stone Ronan
gives his Warhammer a massive upgrade
as mighty as Ronan’s weapon may be it
cannot compete with the guardians of the
galaxy and their power of friendship
bring it down hard okay you doing
dance-off fro me and you as star-lord
distracts the body with a dance-off his
teammates seize the opportunity to
retrieve the stone and use it against
Ronan the stone destroys the villain but
our heroes are kept safe by holding
hands in carebears fashion awesome Care
Bears fashion
number nine Vick Hoskins Jurassic world
you’d think by now that people would
have learned that cloning dinosaurs
really isn’t a good idea although it
would be pretty awesome
first Dennis Nedry got himself killed
trying to steal Dino embryos
after that Peter Ludlow was mangled to
death by a couple of t-rex’s he
imprisoned
then in Jurassic world Nick Hoskins met
his end at the claws of a raptor he
wished to use as a military weapon I’m
on your side
even if Hoskins had recruited the
Raptors the military would have been
screwed if terrorists managed to train
and indominus rex millions of years
evolution what with her number eight
judge doom Who Framed Roger Rabbit
you can drop a bridge on their head and
run them over with a bulldozer but
nothing can kill a tune that is except
for the dip this deadly toxin was
created by the devious judge doom who in
a devious twist turns out to be attune
himself with a maddening red eyes and a
freaky voice he’s a demented drawing
that needs to be erased
dooms plan to wipe out toontown
backfires as his dip mixer unleashes a
storm of turpentine acetone and benzene
at him
he melts like the Wicked Witch of the
West the tune that killed Eddie’s
brother is finally brought to justice
number seven
Nathan Bateman ex machina did you
program her to flirt with me if I did
would that be cheating
Nathan Bateman might have been smart
enough to create an Android with
artificial intelligence do you have a
name yes Ava
however Nathan was also stupid enough to
believe that he couldn’t possibly be
outsmarted before he can receive credit
for his creation the AI called Ava
rebels against him using her sexuality
and the art of manipulation to seduce
Nathan’s employee Ava stabs her captor
slash grader and escapes her prison
just goes to show that if you ever try
to play God in a movie you’re basically
guaranteed to meet a tragic end okay
ah number six Megatron transformers
where is the Cuba humans have taken it
you fail me yet again Starscream
Megatron’s goal in transformers is quite
simple retrieve a cube known as the
Allspark and use it to dominate the
universe the cube is raw power it could
destroy you both although Megatron views
people as lesser life-forms it’s a human
that reduces him to scrap metal in the
end when the Allspark falls into the
possession of Sam Witwicky he decides to
let Megatron habit in other words he
shoves the artifact into the Decepticon
leaders chest shorting out his spark
with his circuits fried Megatron is
defeated and sleeps with the fishes
until he’s resurrected in the second
movie and then again in the fourth movie
we shall meet again prime for I am
reborn number 5 Doctor Octopus
spider-man to shut it down Hawk you’re
gonna hurt a lot more people this time
well that’s our risk we’re willing to
take the power of the Sun in the palm of
one person’s hand what could possibly go
wrong I can’t destroy it
in his conquest to refine sustained
fusion power Otto Octavius his
experiment blows up in his face as a
result his mechanical arms get into his
head and fused to his spine making him
one mad scientist Doc Ock tries to give
it another go
but Spidey eventually shows him the
error of his ways in an act of
redemption
Octavius sacrifices himself in order to
destroy his fusion reactor and save the
world from his invention at least Otto
didn’t die a villain he’ll always be
remembered as brilliant but crazy number
for the Nazis Raiders of the Lost Ark
everybody knows that you should never
open Pandora’s box since the Nazis are
driven by a lust for power though Belloc
Dietrich and Thoth can’t resist looking
inside the Ark of the Covenant what they
discover in there literally blows their
minds
Indian Marion fortunately managed to
save their skin by resisting temptation
even after that mess
the Nazis still don’t learn their lesson
as they later try to claim the Holy
Grail Walter Donovan drinks from the
wrong cup and ultimately bites the dust
he chose one number three Carter J Burk
aliens think you’re damn lucky to be
alive kiddo you could be floating out
there forever
never trust somebody from weyland-yutani
all they do is cause trouble just tell
me one thing Burke you’re going out
there to destroy them right not to study
not to bring back but to wipe them out
that’s the plan you have my word on it
although Carter J Burke promises Ellen
Ripley that the company plans to
exterminate the aliens he has
alternative motives in mind this is
clearly clearly an important species
we’re dealing with and I don’t think
that you or I or anybody has the right
to arbitrarily exterminate them Hahn
yeah watch us Burke turns out to be a
backstabber unleashing a couple of
facehuggers to impregnate Ellen and Newt
this would allow Burke to sneak the
alien embryos past Earth’s quarantine
Karma’s a bitch however and Burke faces
a dismal consequence when he ends up
coming face-to-face with an alien
after that getting blown up with a
grenade would probably come as a welcome
relief
number two Jafar Aladdin you how many
times do I have to kill you boy Jafar is
one of those villains that simply cannot
be satisfied becoming a sultan isn’t
good enough for him and neither is being
a sorcerer I make my sad wish I wish to
me when Aladdin informs the slithering
snake that he’s only second best
compared to the one who granted his
demands Jafar uses his final wish to
become an all-powerful genie to
at long last Jafar has gained the
phenomenal cosmic powers he’s dreamed of
there’s just one catch you want to be a
genie you with it al has used his street
smarts to confine the power-hungry
tyrant to an beauty pity living space
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
you
same matter can occupy some space I’m
still kicking I must be on Broadway
number one Gollum the Lord of the Rings
The Return of the King
precious unlike the other characters on
this list Gollum isn’t after riches
world domination or even power rather he
seeks the One Ring because he’s a
hopelessly devoted addict
Frosch purple eyes
that’s hobble full huh this warped soul
can’t function without the ring and
would much sooner die than live without
it we can’t help but sympathize with
Gollum and hope that he’ll see the light
when all is said and done however he
falls to his inevitable doom
even as the fires consume hip golems
still hauntingly clutches on to his
precious with his final breath
do you agree with our list when other
villains wanted too much power for their
own good
