Nine ‘Walking Dead’ Villains We’re Dying to See

Ben, who took a bullet for the Governor in the shootout with Merle, is completely different on TV. In Kirkman's comics, he's the kid in Rick’s group who delivers one of the most unsettling moments in the entire series when he murders his twin brother.

In the comics, Rick's group takes in this unassuming prisoner – until they realize he's a deranged murderer. Richards' compelling plotline hasen't been used on TV yet; let's hope season four rectifies that oversight soon.

The Hunters take their cues from the zombies by eating people. But their appetite backfires when they encounter Rick's group and accidentally consume infected flesh.

A swarm of more than a thousand zombies, the herd can easily overwhelm even the best-laid human defenses.

It's unclear whether Ezekiel, the leader of the Kingdom, is good or bad (he's currently Rick's ally). But he does have a pet tiger, which is badass.

His role is miniscule in Kirman's comics, but on the small screen, Martinez is the Governor's right-hand man who seems a worthy opponent to Daryl – and capable of challenging Rick's clan in the future.

David Morrissey nailed the sinister nature of the Governor last season, but going postal on his own soldiers stopped him from completing a horrific assault on the prison. In our opinion, the Gov. needs to return, this time with more composure and calculated cruelty.

After the Governor, the next major antagonist in Robert Kirman's comics is the brutal warlord Negan, a profanity-spewing psychopath whose favorite weapon is Lucille, a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire. —Killian Young
