10 Even More Movie Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won
9. The Underminer - Incredibles 2
The first Incredibles movie ended with supervillain The Underminer (John Ratzenberger) showing up to wreak havoc throughout Metroville, at which point the titular superheroes step in to stop him.
We didn't get to see the outcome of this battle until Incredibles 2 finally released an entire 14 years later, and though The Incredibles manage to stop The Underminer from destroying city hall, they don't actually prevent him from escaping - with a ton of money, no less.
The heroes disable the villain's gigantic drill tank, but he nevertheless flees with all the money he siphoned from Metroville Bank in tow, and by film's end he's never caught.
More to the point, while The Underminer didn't destroy Metroville, he did cause a ton of damage, enough that the government shuts down the Superhero Relocation Program, leaving the Parr family without a financial leg to stand on.
The Underminer messed up the city, ruined The Incredibles' reputation (temporarily), stole a ton of money, and got away scot-free. If that ain't winning on the balance of circumstances, what is?
