Top 5 Villains

In the spirit of villainy and arbitrary numbered lists, let's hear your favorite Turtles villains. Specify versions if you want.

5. Armaggon - I know most fans who've read a page of TMNT Adventures are in love with Armaggon (or something like that). I'm not really sure why, because he's a pretty generic villain. I guess his appeal can be summed up in a few words: "Awesome looking shark mutant." Oh, and he threatens to feast on people's entrails...

4. Ch'rell - While not my favorite version of the Shredder (that one's coming up), he's a different take that I really like. He's a millenia old murdering psychopath, and the Turtles grow from an insignificant curiosity into the bane of his existance. He also has the whole identity crisis going for him, and he's developed enough to, say, raise a human daughter. Whether he's being a threatening ninja or being an homage to Krang's campy plans, he's pretty fun.

3. Bishop - By far the best contribution from the new cartoon. He's so generic looking, but it turns out he's essentially immortal and capable of super human abilities. He plays very well off of the "Mutant" angle of TMNT, and the wrinkles he adds to the fight against an alien Shredder are interesting. He's an all around scary character. Maybe it's just how much he seems to channel Wesker from the Resident Evil games.

2. Complete Carnage - If you've never read a Mirage comic, you won't have a clue who this guy is. He's probably the most under utilized villain ever. He's a force of nature, capable of merging in and out of concrete and other man-made materials. This power alone gives him the potential for some terrific villainy. He's also interesting in that he has his own rivalry with Radical and only fights the Turtles when they interfere with that.

1. Oroku Saki (Mirage) - I like Shredder. I like him whether he's a campy villain, an Utrom, Raphael, a woman, a computer virus, basically anytime he's not a demon. But my favorite is the original man/worm-man, Oroku Saki. Why? Because of how little we know about him. He is, without a doubt, the most undeveloped Shredder of them all. He runs a rogue ninja empire, he dies, he comes back as a worm man, and he dies again. That's it. It's more about the shadow his life and death cast over the Turtles' lives, as a major part of their growing up revolves around Splinter's feud with this enigmatic man.

Honorable metions: Rat King (any version), Viral, Krang
