Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
: You don’t mess with the Dark Lord of the Sith. Darth Vader has decades of training in the ways of “the Force”, which allows him to throw objects and choke people with his mind. He also boasts incredible strength that allows him to lift people into the air and snap their neck with one hand. If this wasn’t perilous enough, Vader has a lightsaber that can cut through almost anything. His only weakness is his lack of maneuverability. Since the majority of his body is mechanical, he can’t run or dodge very easily. He partially compensates for this with the excessive plate armor that covers his body. Intimidation alone may be enough to sway battles in Vader’s favor.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Not only is this guy scary, he’s so scary that an entire society of people who can shoot fire and control dragons are afraid to say his name. That’s pretty freaking scary. Voldemort is pretty intimidating with his weird little snake face, and if you give him enough time to say his incantation, he can kill you instantly. Of course, if you are a bit more quick on the draw, you can easily kill the guy, seeing as his only form of armor is a flowing cloak. Although I’m not an expert in the dark arts, I don’t think that’s impervious to blades or bullets. Even still, He-who-must-not-be-named isn’t someone you want to mess with.

The Matrix :Smith is a construct of the Matrix: a computer simulation that mimics the real world. Being part of the program, Smith is able to bend some of the laws of reality, which allows him to move at superhuman speed and punch through walls. Smith is proficient in gun use and is an expert in all forms of close quarters combat including Kung-Fu, Karate, and Boxing. Smith thinks like a machine, smooth and efficiently, but lacks the creative imagination of most villains. This makes him very predictable in many situations and is a flaw that could lead to his downfall.

Jaws :This creature is a pure force of destruction. Nearly the size of an average fishing boat, this great white shark has brutal jaws that can tear through wood and metal. Once his bloodlust has begun, there’s nothing to deter him from killing everything in sight. Using the ocean as a home turf, Jaws can appear and disappear into its great depths at any given time. This makes him unpredictably dangerous. Bullets and harpoons aren’t enough to dispose of this crazed beast. It seems that it takes a huge explosion to really finish the job.

Star Wars: Episode 6- Return of the Jedi: There’s a good reason that this man is the most feared in the universe. Even though Emperor Palpatine appears to be only a frail old man, he controls a substantial amount of power. He can shoot streams of lighting from his hands, and is one of the most powerful practitioners of the force. Although his power is substantial, the Emperor is incredibly old and weak. If an enemy is armored or quick enough, the battle could be over quicker than most.

Star Wars: Episode 5- The Empire Strikes Back : This mercenary is considered one of the greatest bounty hunters in the entire galaxy, and for good reason. Fett has a near unstoppable arsenal of flamethrowers, blaster rifles, thermal detonators, anti-tank missiles, and smoke bombs. Mix that heavy offense with the solid defense of his plated Mandalorian armor, and you have someone near unstoppable. The only real weakness for Fett is his maneuverability in all that armor, but his specially designed jetpack offsets that a bit. If an enemy is going to best Fett, they need to move quickly, accurately, and go straight for the kill, because if they won’t, he will.

Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace: Although this dark Jedi didn’t die very gracefully, his skill is still greater than almost any Jedi of his age. Maul is a Zabrak, a species known for ritualistic death and cannibalism, which wields the fearsome double-bladed lightsaber. Maul is an aggressive fighter and has the skill to handle multiple Jedi Masters at once. Maul’s lightsaber is twice as deadly as your average blade, since it has two points of attack. This gives Maul many more options when it comes to attacks. But of course, a Sith’s undoing is always his arrogance, and Maul’s got plenty to distract him.

Alien: This creature has one goal in its existence: the continuation of its species. Unfortunately for everyone else, its offspring require a life host to mature inside of. The Alien moves faster than most sensors can even follow, and it instinctively uses shadow to disguise itself and stalk its prey. The Alien has a strong tail that can pierce through flesh and has a second set of jaws that behave similarly to a snapping turtle with knives attached to it. Its thick carapace can withstand most blades, but isn’t resistant to bullets, giving the more projectile based villains a distinct advantage.
