12 Greatest Lone Wolf Characters In Movies

12. The Bride (Kill Bill)

Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill movies are an utterly kick-ass pair of titles that indulge in the absurd and dramatic style of the director. They are overly gory, filled with memorable characters, and feature some of the best - and most ridiculous - action set pieces ever seen in movies, and the character who ties it all together is The Bride.

Beatrix Kiddo was an assassin working for the dangerous Bill and his inner circle known as The Vipers. On the day of her wedding rehearsal, Bill appears and massacres the wedding party in a fit of jealous anger, leaving Beatrix for dead. However, after four years of being comatose, she awakens and seeks revenge.

This character's tale is utterly filled to the brim with heartbreak and righteous anger, as not only did her former mentor destroy a large portion of her life, but he even did it whilst she was pregnant. The two movies centre on The Bride hunting down and getting revenge upon this figure, and she walks this path alone.

The Bride has an iconic look, an awesome signature weapon, and an individual attitude that quickly makes her an excellent example of the lone wolf archetype.
