13 Despicable TV Villains Who Were Finally Delivered Justice

1. Gus Fring - Breaking Bad

Gus Fring is easily the greatest villain in the history of Breaking Bad, other than Walter White himself, of course. Gus is an industrious meth dealer introduced in season two and one of the show's most intelligent characters, burying his criminal enterprise deep beneath a cover which sees him owning a chain of popular Los Pollos Hermanos chicken restaurants among other ventures. He has an unassuming, relatively affable exterior, and even has the gall to donate money to the DEA, essentially making him the last person you'd suspect to be a drug lord.

Though he offers Walt huge financial gain as his personal cook, he's not merely a strategic entrepreneur in his own right, but also extremely dangerous and violent. He calmly slashes his crony Victor's throat with a box cutter in front of Walt and Jesse, and murders a significant number of the Cartel's leaders with a poisoned bottle of Tequila, though comes under the focus of Hank Schrader when he's tied to the murder scene of Gale.

As a result, Gus plans to kill Hank, and warns Walter that he'll kill his whole family if he attempts to save Hank. Walter instead goes to the only remaining Salamanca member, Hector, who is in a nursing home, and plots with him to bring Gus down.

Gus is tricked into believing that Hector is informing on him, and visits the nursing home with the intent of killing him. However, Walt had wired a bomb up to Hector's wheelchair, which detonates, killing both Hector and Gus. Gus' gruesome death scene (pictured above) has him calmly emerging from the hospital wreckage with half of his skull exposed, before he adjusts his tie and drops down to the floor, dead. For all of his intellect and planning, he's still flesh and bone like anyone else, as made abundantly clear in this awesome, not to mention nauseating, death scene.
