We compared the meanest monsters on TV today and found some surprises.


Walter White from Breaking Bad |
Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones | NicholasBrody from Homeland |
Francis Underwood from House of Cards | Lorne Malvo from Fargo | |
| WHO IS HE | Nobel-nominated chemist turned meth-cook turned drug lord turned total badass | A low born who's wormed his way up to Master of Coin to Lord of Harrenhal to Lord Protector of the Vale and now Lord Paramount of the Trident. | Marine Corps sergeant taken as POW, rescued as War hero but also an Al Qaeda spy, then US Congressman and VP candidate | Conniving, ambitious House Majority Whip who's climbed to Vice President of the US to President to...? | Hitman for hire, Iago for kicks, psychopathic troll for the sake of sheer fun in dull, frosty North Dakota |
WORST THING HE'S DONE |
Poisoning a six-year-old to manipulate his business partner into murdering a drug lord, in order to replace him |
![]() Convincing the woman who loves him to kill her husband, setting off a bloody war |
![]() Manipulates a woman, who has feelings for him for information and drives her insane |
![]() Kills a congressman for political gains and then makes it look like suicide |
Shooting dead three people, including his fiancée, in an elevator, when confronted by a man from his past |
| HIS EXCUSE | What starts out as a cancer patient's need to support his family later transforms into a full-on power trip | No excuse really. He's just a guy who knows that 'chaos is not a pit, it's a ladder' and isn't afraid to plot his way up | He aspires to a better life for his family, even if it means resorting to treason | Denied the position he was promised in the government, he responds with a bid for the seat of power | ![]() This guy has no code. He just considers himself an apex predator |
| MOST LIKELY TO | ![]() Teach you high school chemistry while selling you meth |
Be your best friend and have your back right up till the moment he stabs you in it | ![]() Not die. Pretend to be a terrorist. Confuse you totally |
Lie to your face. Tell you the truth. Gain trust. Lie to your face again, suavely | Creep you out. Instigate you to kill someone, then kill you and get away with it |
QUOTABLE QUOTES |
[To his wife] ![]() "I am not in danger, Skylar, I am the danger" |
[To his love interest/ ward] "Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next" | [To his daughter]![]() "I have this feeling things are going to get pretty wild soon" |
[To the camera] "There is no solace above or below. Only us, small, solitary, striving, battling one another. I pray to myself, for myself" | [To a man he's blackmailing] "The Romans, raised by wolves... they see a guy turning water into wine, they eat him. Because there are no saints in the animal kingdom, only breakfast and dinner" |
PLAUSIBILITY INDEX |
Apparently, there are some Walter-types in America already |
Unlikely. Someone more powerful would have him eliminated |
The CIA can neither confirm or deny it! | Too competent a person to be in American politics | The US has plenty of psychopaths. Watch your back and front |
| EVILNESS | ABSOLUTE, 100% |
![]() Like a dire-wolf, but with steel claws , 70% |
Bambi with a bomb complex, 10% |
Dapper, charming, mild-mannered evil, 85% | ![]() Evil for evil's sake, 100% |
