The Ultimate Villain Tournament is a bracket style competition that pits movie villain against movie villain. In this round 2 match up, we are dealing with two very different kinds of crazy. Which baddie would be able to pull off his/her villainous scheme? Take a look at our character breakdowns and tell us who you think is the bigger threat.
He’s a businessman for Pete’s sake. A typical suit-and-tie, 9-5 office worker until the evil in his thoughts spills over into his actions. A deviant, someone who kills and tortures with no gain except the sick satisfaction it brings him. He is a ruthless psychotic with a major superiority complex. He can handle most weaponry, be it guns, knives, chainsaws, or even a heated coat hanger, he’s on top of it. He’s also able to lead a normal life and blend in (for the most part) with everyone around him shirking most suspicion. His warped mind that drives his homicidal behavior is also his undoing, making him question reality and even break down in tears when he just can’t handle it all anymore. He’s capable of anything and will stop at nothing, but you have to ask, how long can he keep going?
Strengths: His thirst for blood doesn’t get in the way of his everyday posh lifestyle. Owns fantastic looking business cards.
Weaknesses: He might be going completely crazy…but that’s not ALL bad since no one seems to notice. His business cards still kind of look like garbage next to Paul Allen’s.
Easily one of the most recognized villains out there, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a not just a psychopath that eats his victims, but he’s incredibly intelligent and received his doctorates at Johns Hopkins! Though we don’t see him much in Silence of the Lambs, his presence is unsettling from the outset, but we can’t help but be held captive by his charms.
Strengths: Fantastic Artist, Cannibalistic Serial Killer, Incredibly Smart
Weaknesses: Speaks in Quid Pro Quo, Soft spot for younger women
