Every Walking Dead Villain Ranked Worst To Best

9. Dwight

The Walking Dead Beta
AMC

Dwight is perhaps one of the most complicated villains on this list. He was one of Negan's lieutenants and was pivotal in many of the Saviors attacks and nefarious acts.

After Dwight murdered Denise in a failed attempt to kill Daryl, the two sparked a hatred of each other. Dwight was a key part in many of the Saviors' worst acts, mainly the killing of Abraham and Glenn. After Daryl punched Negan, Dwight very nearly killed him in revenge, but got his revenge later after taking Daryl as a prisoner.

As audiences saw more of Dwight they got to see his softer side, with the love he had for his ex-wife and his complicated relationship with the Saviors, particulary. The reason his face was burnt on one side was because Negan used a hot iron as a punishment for helping out the woman he loved.

Despite his terrible acts, Dwight had an excellent redemption story, slowly growing contemptuous of the Saviors and Negan. He was key in Rick's takedown of the Saviors. His ultimate redemption story and the care he showed for his wife meant Dwight could not be put higher than some other villains on this list.

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.
