10 Worst Ways To Die In The Stargate Universe

3. Being Taken Over By The Replicators

The Replicators are another big bad in the Stargate franchise, and when they kill, it's pretty nasty. They spew acid on their victims, or they simply tear them apart, but those normal ways of killing aren't as bad as the fate they reserved for James Marrick in Stargate: The Ark of Truth.

Marrick foolishly recreated the Replicators via Asgardian technology, and they quickly got out of hand. He was thrown into the brig on the Odyssey to keep him from causing more trouble before he could be properly dealt with, and it was inside his cell where he met his ultimate end.

The Replicators found him inside, but instead of tearing him apart or melting his face off, the Replicators instead tried something new. They took over his body by tearing into his skin and incorporating their technology with his organic frame, making him into a Replicator cyborg.

He didn't die immediately, but he was no longer in control of his body in much the same way as a Goa'uld host. He was killed in an explosion, but the Replicators continued to use his body as a weapon, making him into a zombie cyborg monster.
