10 Movie Villains Who Had Warts On Their Souls

4. Men In Black III: Boris

The lone family film villain on this list, it may seem like something of a stretch to throw Men in Black III's Boris on here alongside the likes of Edwin Epps and The Party Crasher, but despite the franchise he's found in and the fact that he's played by Flight of the Conchords star/alternative comedy icon Jermaine Clement, there’s nothing comical, redeeming, or human about this dark figure.

In a jarring tonal shift from the first two films, MIB 3 is the first to have a twisted villain who isn't used as comic relief during the film. Vincent D'Onofrio's memorably funny bug-in-human-skin is a gross but funny delight in the first film, whilst Lara Flynn Boyle's sexy seductress is a relatively harmless threat in the sequel.

In contrast, Boris is introduced killing his own girlfriend as she helps him escape prison, as well as the cellmate he promised could join him in getting out. From this point on, the utterly humourless and irredeemable villain kills everyone who crosses his path for little or no reason, barely stopping himself from murdering his own past self solely since he would cease to exist, and topping it off by offing Agent J's dear dad even after he's been defeated.
