Better Call Saul: 6 Dead Breaking Bad Characters We Want To Return

4. Tuco Salamanca

Tuco Salamanca took over the reins following Krazy-8's fall from grace in series one of Breaking Bad and became the show's main antagonist in its early run. Known for his psychopathic and unpredictable behaviour - he punched one of his cronies to death in a bloody-beat-down in front of a startled Walt and Jesse, above - Tuco was one of the series' best villains. Portrayed by Raymond Cruz, the ruthless and feared distributor ruled with an iron fist and was prone to violent outbursts during his two-season run on Breaking Bad. Tuco kidnaps Walt and Jesse in season two, hoping to take Walt to a 'superlab' in Mexico where he can cook meth 24/7, but is ultimately foiled when the pair's failed attempts to poison him with ricin lead to him being shot by Jesse instead. Able to recover from his wounds, he is then confronted by Hank Schrader and shot in the head in a tense shootout. Better Call Saul needs an antagonist and there were few more ruthless or vengeful from Breaking Bad. He'd have to be among our top picks when it comes to selecting a villain for the prequel.
