Every Walking Dead Villain Ranked Worst To Best

3. The Governor

The Walking Dead Beta
AMC

Phillip Blake was the egotistical and sociopathic leader of Woodbury, a walled community where he called himself 'The Governor'. He was the main antagonist for Season 3 and the first half of Season 4. Blake slowly descended into more and more homicidal behaviour as the series progressed and he was one of the cruellest villains of the lot.

The Governor had one of the largest impacts on the series as a whole. He attacked the Prison and scattered the main group. He beat Glenn, sexually assaulted Maggie and has the second highest main character kills with three: Merle, Andrea and Hershel.

Blake was initially introduced as a kind and generous character but as his sick secrets were revealed, audiences saw his tortured mind as he terrorised both other survivors and his own people. Hell, he murdered his own army for not following his orders.

Not only was Blake a maniacal militia leader but he was also a brutal fighter, having overpowered Rick, Michonne and several others in one on one combat. He was an insane and evil dictator that many fans still consider to be one of the best villains of the series.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
