Known to the Midway City populace as the mad, manipulative killer girlfriend of the Joker, Harley Quinn unleashes this wave of psychotic terror across the city, smashing and grabbing whatever she wants.
Elphaba, The Witch’s name in the theatre production, wants to work for the great Wizard of Oz, but turns evil after discovering he is a fraud and is branded “wicked” by his followers in order to cover it up. In the hit musical Wicked, we learn that the reason the character is such a tyrant is due to her upbringing as the product of an affair and being shunned from society for her green skin. She meets her match though in the plucky girl from Kansas, after a bucket of water melts her into a puddle. She terrorises the hero Dorothy for accidentally killing her sister, The Wicked Witch of the East, and wants the ruby slippers she wears. In the film, The Witch is a green-skinned menace who commands and army of flying monkeys to do her evil bidding. She’s the arch villain in Frank L Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, later adapted into the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch of the West is undoubtedly wicked.

It’s a pretty epic twist knowing that one of the evilest characters in the galaxy started out just trying to protect his wife. When she dies, it’s all downhill from there. When his wife Padme struggles with childbirth, he turns to the dark side to learn to save her. Then, with the prequel trilogy, we find out that Vader was once the innocent young Anakin Skywalker, a talented young Jedi, thought to be the chosen one who will restore balance to the force. When it was revealed in The Empire Strikes Back that Vader is Luke’s actually father, his wickedness only grows – he did, after all, cut his own son’s hand off. Not to mention creating a planet-destroying space station that plotted the extermination of large parts of the galaxy. From force-strangling his deputies to killing Luke Skywalker’s mentor Obi-Wan, Vader was seriously evil. Probably a bit too obvious to start off with but in 1977, Darth Vader was the ultimate bad guy.

One bad decision can have devastating consequences and none of it is good. When it comes to drink driving though, there is no upside.
One little mistake can live online and in our memories forever – that’s part of what makes it so fun and so frustrating.
