5. Marsellus Wallace (Pulp Fiction)
Pulp Fiction's gangster Marsellus Wallace is a big bad mo-fo. He threw one of his own people out of a window to fall multiple stories below simply because... well, nobody knows. But the fact that rumors were abounding that it was simply for touching his wife's feet-- and that nobody was surprised Mr. Wallace would commit such an act for so little-- speaks highly of how ill-tempered and violent this man is. We see him employ hit men with impunity. And after the incident with Zed and Maynard, he coolly informs Zed that what he has in store for the final few hours of his life involves blow-torches and getting medieval. He's a big man with a deep voice, made only more fearful by the extensive criminal connections he has that respect and fear him.
Why We Can't Help But Love Him: Because the expression "get medieval on yo' ass" is just so cool.
