2

Sideshow Bob

The refined, murderous former clown sidekick who cannot stop coming after Bart Simpson.

Skeletor

He-Man's skull-faced nemesis, endlessly scheming to take Castle Grayskull and never once succeeding.

The bladed Foot Clan leader who turned the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into a generation's obsession.

5

Plankton

SpongeBob's one-celled rival, forever failing to steal the Krabby Patty formula.

The hyper-verbal super-intelligent chimp who explains every Powerpuff Girls scheme twice.

7

Bill Cipher

Gravity Falls' triangular dream demon who brings about Weirdmageddon.
