Top 10 Wheel of Time Bad Guys
(Spoilers for the fourteen Wheel of Time books are below, do not read if you do not want the series spoiled).
To complement our ranking of the Wheel of Time heroes we have decided to rank the villains as well. Like the heroes, the Wheel of Time villains are flawed, and in some cases they are fairly incompetent, making readers wonder why they should ever fear them and the heroes safety.
There are some villains where that is not the case and they have readers questioning whether or not they will be able to defeat the heroes. Some villains are partially competent, meaning there are some books where the villain appears to be competent, but in later installments the villain turns out to be an idiot.
Besides being ranked for competence, the villains are also being ranked for what they contributed to the story in terms of interesting storylines. It’s positive villain qualities minus negative villain qualities and that’s how this list was compiled.
Honorable Mentions
