10 Sci-Fi Villains Who Got What They Deserved
6. Carter Burke - Aliens
The only thing that can outdo the lies, manipulation and sabotage of Ash in the first Alien film is the lies, manipulation and sabotage of Carter Burke in the sequel Aliens.
Despite presenting himself as a reasonable guy early on in the film, his true intentions are quickly laid bare. Not only was he the one that ordered the colonists of LV-426 to investigate the alien wreck Ripley encountered in the first film, but he was hoping to bring back a live specimen to study. He even locks Ripley and Newt in a room with a facehugger in the hope they would be impregnated by it.
But before the marines can punish Burke for his actions, they are forced to defend themselves against a massive swarm of Xenomorphs and Burke uses the ensuing chaos to escape by leaving everyone behind and locking the door behind him. But just as it seems he will be getting away unharmed, Burke opens another door and immediately runs into another Xenomorph which kills him.
