Top 31 MST3K Villains: 10-6

#10 Yuri WEREWOLF (904)
"Hey everyone, free samples of me!"
By far the greasiest of all b-movie villains Yuri smarms all those who oppose his diabolical plan to unleash new hair styles on each unsuspecting scene. Gray hair, spiky hair, "Brian Ferry hair", slicked back...literally nothing is off limits.







#9 The Master 'MANOS' THE HANDS OF FATE (424)
The great high priest and vessel for the will of "Manos". Greatly disturbed. His disapproval knows no bounds, he is The Master.
This lovable Frank Zappa impersonator is unique in the annals of b-moviedom in that he never really has any encounters with the protagonists. Mostly he relies on the ceremonial power of the underworld, and the help of his vastly incompetent caretaker Torgo to usher in the heinous dystopia of the god "Manos". In his "Valley Looge" compound he tricks white, middle class vacationers into becoming part of his cult worship circle which apparently consists of Mary Kay consultants and greasy alcoholics.

#8 Ortega THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES... (812)
The famous Ortega! The prototype for carnies everywhere. Mr. Ortega doesn't possess the usual signs or ambitions of being an "evil" person, however, he makes this list in great part because he's the totally callous sort. No longer deriving any sadistic pleasure, or displaying any kind of possible inner conflict, Ortega simply perpetrates evil deeds because he's bored. Meh, he says, the Gypsy woman is always yelling for the acid while my stories are on! Grumble, grumble.

#7 Satoris THE FINAL SACRIFICE (910)
One sure sign of a person's morality is their voice. Annunciation, depth, and slowness all let the viewer know that they can safely root against the person. Anyone who speaks from the base of their throat is guaranteed to be under the influence of satan. And so be Satoris, the f-list Darth Vader. This guy has big things in store for Canada. First, after killing a dweebie teenage boy and a hockey-haired alcoholic, he plans on taking over the country and installing a white supremacist dictatorship enforced by a handful of his masked wrestler buddies.

#6 Jonathan Cooper MERLIN'S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS (1003)
"My reviews have destroyed entire cities!"
Jonathan Cooper is one of your more down-to-earth antagonists in that his only goal is to belittle his barren-wombed wife and write scathing reviews of local shops. One in particular happens to be owned by Merlin and his oafish wife. After threatening to destroy his business' credibility Merlin gives him a book of magic spells which subsequently cause him to; age rapidly, scorch a cat, have a brief encounter with the devil, and then finally age backwards until he is just an infant being raised by his wife.
"MERLIN I LOVE YOOOOUUU!"
