Mr. Robot had so many captivating plot lines about our favourite characters that made us want to follow their journey to the end. But the most important and intriguing character arc had to be of protagonist, Elliot Alderson.

Throughout the 4 seasons, we saw him go on a lot of adventures on his quest to save the world from the invisible hand: the rich corrupt people placing their fingerprints all over the world. He went straight from being a vigilante hacker who took down pedophiles, rapists, abusers etc. to taking down the Deus Group and becoming a true hero for preventing a total nuclear meltdown.

But, as we witnessed, achieving this goal wasn't an easy task for Elliot, who faced so many roadblocks during his journey. For four seasons, he was put through a wringer of physical, emotional and mental trauma that either made him or broke him. However, he would always find a way to get back up on his feet and keep going.

Given the plenty of terrible things that Elliot faced over the four seasons, it wasn't easy to pick out the absolute worst of the worst. A warning, then: this article may not be for the faint hearted

For four years, there were so many hints that Elliot and Angela would go from childhood friends to lovers, especially since they cared for each other and bonded over their shared loss of their parents due to the Washington Township leak, but unfortunately "401 Unauthorized" made it clear that the ship was destined to sink.

Elliot was so fully prepared to take down Whiterose and the Dark Army after he and Darlene were saved from their execution. But little did he know that Angela couldn't be saved as well. Unbeknownst to him, Angela was taken to Price's mansion where Price convinced her that Whiterose manipulated her and used her mom's death against to cause the cyberbombings just to spite her father.

She was wracked with guilt over her complicity of killing thousands of people, but this didn't stop her from declaring her vengeance on Whiterose and the Dark Army, which is what got her assassinated by the Dark Army operatives.

Whiterose later had a picture of her bloody corpse taken and sent it to Elliot as a reminder of who he was dealing with. This sent him on a downward spiral and a dark path to take the Dark Army down. Throughout the series Elliot has lost so many people that he loved, but Angela's death is what pushes him over the edge.
