17 Movie Villains Who Completely Ruined Your Childhood
7. Karg - Masters Of The Universe
Skeletor might have been the iconic villain out to master the universe and generally annoy He-Man to the best of his ability, but it was his head henchman and chief commander, Karg, who left a generation wetting themselves. At first glance, you might be mistaken in thinking Karg is in fact an 80s hair metal singer, due to his grease-free blonde locks, styled into a perfect bouffant, but on further investigation, his true form was far more sinister, and far uglier. Half-man, half-bat, Kargs role as chief bounty hunter means he answered to Skellie but still had his own troupe of minions to boss about and terrorise with his face. What exacerbates his overall unpleasantness is the bizarre coupling of glossy hair, a long black cape and a fur around his neck. Who is he trying to kid? But then, maybe his addiction to off-kilter fashion choices is designed to distract from his face, or maybe he's under the impression that his grey, rancid features will be forgiven because hes wearing a nice shaw? He might not come from the greatest movie, but he remains one of the most memorable nostalgic villains of all time.
