10 Sci-Fi Movie Villains Who Encountered Something Worse

You know things are incredibly dire when the heroes seek out a damn blood-thirsty serial killer to clean house and save them from an army of religious zealots.

The Chronicles of Riddick's opening narration - read aloud by the deliciously velvety stylings of the great Judi Dench - really say it all: "In normal times, evil would be fought by good. But in times like these, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil."

And indeed, a long-told prophecy dictated that the aforementioned zealot army, the Necromongers, could only be defeated by a Furyan, prompting the group's leader, the Lord Marshal (Colm Feore) to commit a genocide against the Furyan people.

This left only Riddick alive as the final Furyan, and boy, did the Lord Marshal sure underestimate what he was going up against or what?

With Riddick's criminally violent nature and outstanding physical abilities, he eventually fulfills the prophecy, murdering the hell out of the Lord Marshal and, in a cute twist, taking up the Necromonger throne himself at film's end. Oh, you didn't see that coming, Marsh?
