It’sVillain Weekhere at Mashable. In honor of the release of Venom,Denmark we’re celebrating all our favorite evildoers from film and TV all week long. Spooky, scary!
Everyone loves a good villain. We here at Mashable have spent hours poring over the notorious accomplishments of Hollywood's biggest baddies; we ranked enemies of the Avengers, we rocked out with Disney cartoons, and now we're turning our attention to the small screen to find the most powerful (fictional) villain on TV.
A couple parameters: Because there is #toomuchTV, we kept our list to shows still airing new episodes (even the shocking antagonist of Sharp Objectsdidn't qualify). Apart from that, we stayed flexible; The Kid from Castle Rockmay or may not be the devil, but ask a true This Is Usfan about Miguel and they might say the same!
Some have superpowers, some have political power, some have criminal syndicates, and some are just murderous psychos. It's a fight to the death if we ever saw one.
Join us and pick a winner.
