15 Supporting Comic Book Movie Characters Who Stole The Show

13. Harlen Maguire

Hit Girl Kick Ass
20th Century Fox

Harlen Maguire is one of the most twisted baddies to ever grace a comic conversion on the big screen. Played by a near unrecognisable Jude Law - all sallow-skinned and thinning hair - those who haven't seen Road to Perdition probably wouldn't have heard of him, but sit through one viewing of Sam Mendes's underrated gangster flick and he'll be etched into your retinas for a long time, just like the glare of his favoured flashbulbs.

Given a true antiheroes welcome and present in one of this centuries best one on one shoot outs committed to celluloid, the extent of this Terminator esque hit man's macarbe personailty only comes to light in the film's shocking closing moments. Unforgettable.
