Every Walking Dead Villain Ranked Worst To Best
3. The Governor
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.
