Ultimate Bad Guy: Top 32, Take Two!

I posted a tentative Top 32 Bad Guys yesterday just to get the ball rolling here in our latest bracket tournament, Ultimate Bad Guy, and there was a lot of discussion about how sucky some of my choices were.

Okay, no one said “sucky”, but after reading your comments, I have to agree that there are better options out there to look at.

(I think some of you implied sucky, even if you didn’t say it)

I’m still looking to see if anyone agrees that Professor Moriarty would be a good addition to the list.

Here is the revised Top 32, with newcomers listed with asterisks in BOLD (I love bolding stuff):

1. Darth Vader
2. Hans Gruber (Die Hard)
3. Hannibal Lector
4. Norman Bates
5. Lex Luthor
6. Hal 9000
7. Michael Corleone
8. Benjamin Linus
9. Saruman (Lord of the Rings)
10. Keyzer Soze (The Usual Suspects)
11. Jack (The Shining)
12. Leatherface
13. Jigsaw (Saw films)
14. Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)
15. Patrick Bateman (American Psycho)
16. Michael Myers (Halloween)
17. Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th)
18. Arvin Sloane (Alias)
19. Q (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
20. Annie Wilkes (Misery)
21. Cigarette Smoking Man (X-Files)
22. Sylar (Heroes)
23. The Alien
24. The Predator
25. Khan (Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan)
26. Agent Smith
27. Magneto
28. Mr. Blonde (Reservoir Dogs)*
29. The Joker*
30. Professor Moriarty*
31. you pick
32. you pick

Removed:

• Banya
• Dr. Evil
• Bill (Kill Bill)
• The Six Fingered Man (Princess Bride)
• Bill Lumberg (Office Space)

Okay, I threw in Professor Moriarty because he’s a baddie from literature and I think we needed that. But as always, this is all up for debate.

I left two spots open, and I will slap two names in there based off arguments below on who THEY SHOULD BE.

Discuss!
