10. Bjorn - Alien: Romulus

It's typically the case in the Alien franchise that there are more bad guys than just the Xenomorphs trying to kill everyone. There's always at least a human or a synthetic or two to play an antagonistic role.

Though Rook (Ian Holm) played this part in Romulus, he wasn't the only one. Bjorn (Spike Fearn), cousin to Archie Renaux's Tyler and one of the key leaders of the group trying to get away from Jackson, may not have been a villain, per se, but there is no denying the antagonistic force he brought to the dynamic.

This came completely directed at David Jonsson's Andy. The synthetic Rain's (Cailee Spaeny) brother was a sweet, simple creature whose only directive, until he was upgraded at least, was to do what was best for his sister. He liked awful dad jokes and did nobody any harm, and yet found himself the subject of Bjorn's abuse simply because he was a synthetic.

Of course, it was tragic that Bjorn's parents lost their lives thanks to a cold and calculated decision made by a robot, but that didn't give him the right to paint them all with the same brush and to take it out on Andy. He was a vile bully, and there wouldn't have been too many tears shed when he was finally killed by the dripping acid that essentially melted him to death.
