13 Most Despicable Scumbag Characters In TV History

13. Sue Sylvester - Glee

First up, Sue Sylvester of Glee - possibly the least suitable candidate to be in a position of nurturing ever imagined. Perhaps she isn't evil in the sense that she randomly kills people, but she sure does wreak havoc at a high school, victimizing poor innocent kids and making them cry seemingly for kicks. However, Sue, in her own kind of evil, is possibly the only character that makes Glee remotely enjoyable to watch. Sue's rap sheet makes for colourful reading: she tries to sabotage the glee club throughout the show, she blackmails and eventually deposes the principal, taking his place herself, and she wilfully and devastatingly attacks fellow teachers' appearances and personalities. She does everything to hurt the glee club's chances of winning at the yearly competitions, to a comical degree, and she slanders Kurt Hummel's father's reputation when he gets angry at her for rescinding funding for the school musical, et cetera. Exactly why she would want to destroy the glee club with such a passion is a bit vague, but, as we stated earlier, every story needs a villain to spice the story up, even if their motives aren't entirely clear.
