The Walking Dead: 10 Best Villains From The TV Show

7. Joe & The Claimers

Joe and his band of marauders waltzed into our lives with a unique approach to life in the world of The Walking Dead. He and his posse would have each other€™s backs, but it wasn€™t about equality, or making sure that everyone had enough to eat. In a €œfinders keepers€ approach, members of the group had to €œclaim€ an item in order to use it as their own. Of course, sometimes it didn€™t work out, as we saw one group member choke out another just because he wanted to sleep in his bed. The scariest thing about Joe isn€™t the fact that he planned to murder (or something worse) everyone in Rick€™s group, after Rick took out a member of his crew, but the fact that he charmed his way into getting Daryl to join their gang before their confrontation at the end of Season 4. A few more weeks with Joe could have potentially warped Daryl€™s outlook on survival. Luckily it didn€™t come to that, because before Joe could do anything else, Rick viciously bit the throat of his captor and proceeded to slaughter the claimers. Still, Joe posed as a huge question mark as to what Daryl would be like without Rick's gang to keep him grounded. We know that the Dixon brother had originally planned to rob the Atlanta survivors in the show€™s inaugural season, but it seems his morals were still being tested three seasons on.
