next to this guy the walking dead
themselves don’t seem so bad
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
negan this turn our pants yet for this
origin we chosen to primarily follow the
storyline which unfolded in 2012’s
Walking Dead number 100 and 2016’s image
plus numbers 1 to 5 ah you’re right I’m
negan some of the information presented
in this video may reveal some plot
points which viewers of the TV series
may not know just yet so big ol spoiler
socks Nona the titular zombies of The
Walking Dead are the most readily
identifiable menace in the comics but
they’re far from the only danger to the
humans battling for their lives
for instance the gang leader known as
negan is much worse than any Walker nope
he doesn’t eat human flesh but this
tyrannical shakedown artist can be far
more ruthless and calculating in who he
chooses to kill than a mere omer
although he’s definitely a major
antagonist negan belongs to a long line
of villains who are as fascinating and
intriguing as the heroes they’ve a devil
while his badass didn’t appear until
issue 100 his reputation preceded him in
a big way Rick and his group known as
the Atlanta survivors kept hearing
rumors about someone named negan as they
negotiated living arrangements with
hilltop colony a large and friendly
neighboring group although no one seemed
to actually have seen negan his name
struck fear into people’s hearts and
minds and for good reason
you thought you were safe I get it
but the word is out you are not safe
negan and his followers the Savior’s for
a bunch of protection racketeers in
exchange for keeping the dead away they
would confiscate half of the group’s
food and supplies and anyone that didn’t
want to go along with the plan ended up
feeling Meegan’s wrath when Deegan
finally appeared it was after Rick had
told the hilltop colony that his group
would take care of negan in exchange for
becoming part of the colony
Rick’s followers killed some of negan’s
lackeys and even didn’t take kindly to
that you killed my people a whole damn
lot of them more than I’m comfortable
with and for that for that you’re gonna
pay he captured Rick and his friends and
told them that things were different now
from this day forward they were under
his control and would give him half of
everything or they would be killed to
show them that he meant business
he lined them all up and told them that
because they had killed some of his men
he was gonna have to randomly murder one
of them
negan went through the reasons for why
or why he shouldn’t kill each one then
he randomly picked Glenn taking Lucille
his baseball bat which was covered in
barbed wire and his favorite weapon he
brutally beat Glenn to death you can
breathe you can like
you can cry yeah you’re all gonna be
doing that
Rick naturally swore vengeance but negan
nonchalantly told him that there was no
chance in hell of accomplishing that
negan left Rick to contemplate the new
order of things giving him one week to
return with the dues he and his friends
were owed or else face destruction give
me your shit or I will kill you
although negan continued as a major
character in the comics only a few facts
about his past were parceled out along
the way in 2016 a backup series was
begun which added a few details about
how he came to be so far readers have
learned that before the zombie outbreak
negan was a coach presumably of
high-school students although he wasn’t
a ruthless killer back then he was still
arrogant and egotistical happy to
destroy weak students with well-chosen
words vegans wife had confronted him
about this but suddenly she collapsed in
the middle of their argument after
getting to her in the hospital he
learned that his wife had cancer and
apparently the prognosis was not good
some time later readers saw negan in bed
with another woman who turned out to be
his mistress hearing of the cancer the
mistress ended the affair which negan’s
wife had been aware of
niggath relationship with his wife was
apparently complicated but there was a
deep connection between them and as her
condition worsened readers saw just how
much negan truly loved her to make
things worse as the wife Lay Dying in
the hospital the zombie virus hit so
negan watched his wife die then saw her
return as part of The Walking Dead
whether he killed her or not is left
kind of ambiguous but it was clear that
the experience scarred him oh and his
wife’s name can you guess it was Lucille
the name that negan would later give to
the barbed wire baseball bat he uses to
happily bludgeon people to death and he
went up for some perverse symbolism
and she is awesome
negan is one of Robert Kirkman’s finest
creations in the walking dead decidedly
evil and with a psychotic bent he also
has a code he lives by and at times can
be quite engaging and while his methods
are reprehensible he has indeed saved
many people from the zombies though at a
very steep cost I don’t want to kill you
people just want to make that clear from
the get-go I want you to work for me you
can’t do that if you’re dead now can you

post-apocalyptic justice for more
