sometimes as the Joker would say all it
takes is a little punch hey guys it's TP
with WatchMojo today we're counting down
our picks for the top 10 movie villains
created by other villains I will hunt my
father like a dog and I will tear him
apart slowly piece by piece we're taking
a look at villains who probably wouldn't
have become evil at all if it wasn't for
another manipulative baddie we will not
be considering animated characters
although they may have appeared in
animated films or television shows we
will only be considering their
live-action counterparts also a minor
spoiler alert is an order let's get to
it
number 10 the Horde split and glass no
beast is real
he's just a large after nearly a decade
of being a pop-culture punchline M night
Shyamalan surprised audiences with split
a smart effective psychological thriller
that focused more on character than
setting up a twist ending a uniformly
excellent James McAvoy plays Kevin
Wendell Crum as well as the different
personalities in his mind may I talk to
one of them please that can't happen
though we don't meet them all the
ultimate threat is the Beast an
unstoppable killer impervious to even
stab wounds
we eventually learn what caused his
split his father's death in a train
accident that's the key to who mr. glass
killed Kevin's dead the real twist
elijah price caused the accident
bringing unbreakable split and glass
full circle I created you as I created
David it just took number nine the
jigsaw copycats this saw franchise
that's it from the disease eating away
at me inside sick of people who don't
appreciate their blessings of the serial
killers in recent horror films if you
have motives that are somewhat
understandable John Kramer is the
exception to the rule a terminal cancer
patient who only wants his victims to
understand why living is worthwhile his
methods may be sadistic but we're sure
he could have written a pretty decent
self-help book most people are so
ungrateful to be alive
but not you not anymore
his followers beginning with Amanda
young were disciples of the same
principle having survived his gruesome
tests it's revealed and saw to that
amanda has taken up her mentors mantle
this all comes full circle in the final
chapter in which Cary Elwes is dr.
Lawrence Gordon has done the same over
the last few years would not have been
impossible hey life lessons can be
brutal
fortunately they rarely involve cutting
off limbs number eight nebula the
guardians of the galaxy franchise thanks
dad sounds fair this is one fight you
won't win up until recent years the
biggest criticism of the Marvel
Cinematic Universe were the villains
fans often viewed them as one-sided and
generic enter nebula one of the earliest
complex villains in the film universe
and I was pulled my eye from my head and
my brain from my skull
and my arm from my body created by
Thanos and the adopted sister of Gamora
she switches allegiance throughout the
series more than once
particularly in guardians where she
first vows to fight alongside lead
baddie Ronan the accuser to obtain one
of the Infinity stones and best her
sister in battle you are a
disappointment sister after severe
physical mutilation inflicted by Thanos
every time she fails she vows to
vanquish him but still stays by Ronan
side eventually she redeems herself but
it's a long fall and physical deformity
before she gets there sister
number seven Saruman the Lord of the
Rings franchise my old friend Saruman
often the best villains begin as allies
next to Dracula Saruman is probably
Christopher Lee's most recognizable role
it stands to reason given that his path
to antagonist is one of the most
familiar tales
Saru man was indirectly created by
Sauron himself his lust for power being
the ultimate result
there will be no door for me a stories
of betrayal and power gone awry go this
is gang busters sour mangos full evil
allying with Sauron and raising an army
of uruk-hai
without Gandalf's help he tries to
thwart the Fellowship of the Ring with
his army you know the old saying though
the higher you climb the further you
have to fall
[Music]
number six Harley Quinn Suicide Squad
she thought she was curing him but she
was falling in love Harley Quinn is one
of the most compelling villains in
recent Batman Lord an original character
from Batman the Animated Series her
popularity led to her pretty much being
the lead in the ensemble Suicide Squad
so I'm thinking if we move together we
can hold these guys and go our separate
ways
yeah born Harleen Quinzel she was a
psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who had
the misfortune of treating the Joker
almost immediately he said about
manipulating her to fall in love with
him further driving her insane using
electroshock therapy
soon after she's got a brand new name a
new look and the same love of thrill
killing as mr. J so unless we open his
eyes very unpleasant death we're gonna
have to work together number 5 Jason
Voorhees the Friday the 13th franchise
his name was Jason
I was working the day that it happened
it's a little difficult to clarify just
who was responsible for Jason Voorhees
derangement the oversexed camp
counselors who let him drown or his
homicidal mother watched every minute he
was he wasn't a very good swimmer by the
end of part two though we have a pretty
good idea seeing mrs. Voorhees brutally
decapitated at the end of the first film
set him on one long rampage that
transcended even death a trip to New
York and outer space Jason even hears
the voice of his dead mother telling him
to go wild throughout the franchise so
his motivation is fairly obvious an
overprotective mother is usually just a
bit of a burden here it's cause for
filiol homicide number four Selina Kyle
also known as Catwoman Batman Returns
you make it so easy don't you Tim
Burton's follow-up to his gothic
adaptation of the DC comic book series
may have had diminishing box office
returns but there's plenty to love about
it first and foremost is Michelle
Pfeiffer's Selina Kyle who before
becoming the master cat burglar is the
squirrelly secretary to Christopher
Walken's Evil Max Schreck I mean it's
not like you can just kill me actually
it's a lot like that Walken's villain
was obvious given he's named after the
actor who played Nosferatu but no one
really expected him to throw Kyle out of
a window after she uncovers his
corruption after being mysteriously
revived by a group of cats she seeks
revenge her origin is vastly different
from the comics but Pfeiffer sells it
with conviction one in
the thought of busting Batman makes me
feel all dirty
number three Erik Lehnsherr also known
as magneto x-men first class everything
you did made me stronger made me the
weapon I am today
x-men has always had some political
commentary behind its plot lines but
never wasn't more obvious than Matthew
Vaughn's prequel first class which mixes
science fiction with a James bond-esque
cold war thriller originally planned is
an origin story for magneto instead it
served as a soft reboot magneto is still
the most compelling character though
imprisoned in a concentration camp as a
child Nazi scientist Sebastian Shaw
played by Kevin Bacon kills his mother
in front of him bringing out his mutant
powers he spends most of the film
hunting Shaw who plots the Cuban Missile
Crisis even as he's mentored to temper
his anger by Professor X eventually he
gives in and murders Shaw beginning his
war on humankind sorry Charles
number 2 Harvey Dent
The Dark Knight oh and you know the
thing about chaos it's bear Harvey
Dent's transformation into two-face has
been dealt with in different ways
throughout comics cartoons and previous
films but the most epic retelling is
easily his turn in the Dark Knight you
either die a hero or you live long
enough to see yourself become the
villain rather than have acid thrown in
his face during a trial Gotham's White
Knight is forced to listen to love
Rachel Dawes blow up before half of his
face catches fire it's Harvey's quest to
punish those responsible for Rachel that
turns out to be the key to the Joker's
plan to send Gotham into ruin superhero
films are often plagued with one villain
too many but two phases inclusion feels
all too logical in a movie that focuses
so much on chaos

Skywalker also known as Darth Vader the
Star Wars franchise you ever hear the
tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise Oh to
be alive in 1980 and age before internet
spoilers and to hear Darth Vader utter
that famous twist on the big screen in
the Empire Strikes Back until that
moment audiences just assumed Vader was
another big bad in a space Western for
better or worse we know every aspect of
Anakin Skywalker's turned to the dark
side
beginning as a young boy on Tatooine
with a knack for pod racing and a strong
link to the force
through a series of dirty politics by
the future emperor leading to an
eventual Jedi genocide Skywalker is
sidetracked from the side of good and
led down the rabbit hole of pure evil
turns out Yoda was right to be skeptical
I mean to be fair is Yoda ever wrong he
seems like a pretty good judge of
character what do you guys think let us
