Every Walking Dead Villain Ranked Worst To Best

2. Negan

Negan is perhaps the most iconic and charismatic villains of not just The Walking Dead but TV of the last decade. Wielding his barbed wire wrapped baseball bat, he is the leader of the Saviors, a gang of survivors who controlled other groups through violence and terror. He had psychopathic tendencies, a dark sense of humour and a mean swing.

Having the most appearances of any antagonist, fans loved to hate him. He was charming and suave yet highly intelligent and a brilliant leader, having kept hundreds of Saviors alive while having them revere him like a deity. Being a deadly fighter both at range and in close quarters made him even more terrifying when audiences saw the smile still spread on his face.

Negan's shocking entry in the last episode of Season 6 cemented him as a great villain, murdering beloved characters Glenn and Abraham in the Season 7 premiere.

But he is likeable despite his horrifying acts. He has a moral code, he was fair to an extent and he majorly opposed sexual violence, even murdering his own man for trying to rape Sasha.

He was brutal and manipulative and he stole the show in his every appearance so when his character renounced his villainous ways in the recent season, fans adored him even more. However, his recent redemption has left Negan trailing in second place.

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.
