Mr. Robot: 21 WTF Moments That Left Fans Stunned

17. Tyrell's Rage

At the beginning of the show, it seemed like Tyrell Wellick was just another ambitious tech guy who had a strange interest in Elliot. However, the further fans got into season one of the show, the more evident it became that Wellick was filled with rage and it needed to be let out in some shape or form.

After failing to get the job of CTO at ECorp, losing it to Scott Knowles, he decides to take his anger out on someone else. He's driven to an empty area where a homeless man is sitting. Apparently they've met before as the man asks Wellick for £300 this time, as Tyrell dons some latex gloves before beating the man into a bloody pulp.

On a scale of violent things to happen on the show, it's pretty low on the totem pole. However, that doesn't stop it from being anything less than an exceptionally despicable act. Before we knew how dangerous the Dark Army were, it was moments like this that certified Wellick as a serious antagonist in the show.
