Avatar VILLAINS Ranked From Least Evil to Most Evil (40 Characters)

[jessic]

I feel like Ty-lee should be lower than Mai bc she was intimidated by Azusa to work for her while Mai willingly went with Azula. Tylee also betrayed azula directly after Mai did

[RedPhoenix]

One villain that I will never forget; The old man that sold out Haru.

[amon]

I feel like Zhao should be higher. He was willing to torture a kid and killed anyone in his path. He also studied the spirits in the library, fully knowing the effect of what would happen when he killed the moon spirit.

[likecascade]

Love how the brothers Iroh and Ozai are on opposite ends of the list. I think that surprisingly fits perfectly. In fact, I think you should do some kind of collab with Wicked Binge.

[alpha]

I think Yun might be Avatar Kuruk's son. I think after Kuruk lost his wife he got insanely drunk one night out of depression and slept with Yun's mother, got her pregnant, and she stole one of his journal's that had his pai sho technique's recorded on there. Hei Ran even stated that Yun has Kuruk's smile.

[robbieking]

There’s actually one villain missing from this list.
Chin the Conqueror who fell to his death when Kyoshi separated her island from the Earth Kingdom mainland.

[gurra]

Agree with several placings, although I feel Yakone deserves to be higher on this list. Enjoyed his powers, hurt people for sport, showed no remorse, either for civilians or his kin.

[Kishin]

Zaheer didn't really "took over" Ba Sing Se, he just removed the corrupted leader and then left it to the people which of course was horrible idea cause it only created chaos. What i mean is that he never did stuff for his own personal gain like power or influence but to create (in his slightly twisted view) better society for everyone.
Also Yakone is imo more evil then Amon, he just didn't have a chance to go nearly as far as his son did cause Aang was around but he did everything only for power, was trying to kill Aang, wanted to take over the republic city and when that didn't work he placed all of those ambitions onto his sons viewing them as merely tools he can use for revenge which lead to creation of Amon.

[JFclips]

I’m sorry the fact that Jet is higher than Yakone is laughable

[sofiadilauro]

Actually. Azula killed someone in the series. She killed Aang, but Katara brought him back with the special water. Also, she would have killed Mai if Tylee hadn't stopped her. And almost killed Iroh. And almost every accomplishment in Ozai's reign was really thanks to Azula. The fall of Ba sing se, the plan of burning the entire Erath kingdom...Probably even the fall of Omashu if I remember correctly...

[diversejoe]

Ozai deserves to be No.1 cuz he literally has no soul or a conscious, the exact description of a demon. Ozai is nothing more than an empty husk being hosted by evil spirits, I mean c'mon he doesn't have any room for himself to be loved and overall had 0 humanity in him, these rankings are valid btw flame.

[Laramaria]

Wait... Ozai does have one redeeming quality: he's voiced by Mark Hamill 😂

[jlfitzg]

When you read the Yangchen novels, you’ll probably have to update this list to include these villains: Thapa, Chaisee, and Kalyaan.

FYI, I think Kuvira got off way too easy in the ruins of the Empire storyline. Even if she helped to stop Guan and reverse the brainwashing of team avatar, she belongs in prison for everything she did.

[Kishin]

I think there isnt much difference in terms of evil between trying to kill but failing and actually killing. Azula being perfect example of that when she fully intended to kill Aang it just happened that Katara had magical healing water but if Katara wasnt there then Azula would have killed Aang with a smirk on her face.

[ashhabimran]

Top of the list: Ozai

Bottom of the list: His brother and son

[zerpyzonut]

I think Vaatu is always number 1 on the list because he’s the literal PERSONIFICATION of evil. Ozai could literally never compare in my opinion.

[tyriqueatabong]

I would maybe switch up Iroh and Zuko. As you said Zuko never majorly hurt anybody and at his core he always knew that what his country was doing was wrong. Iron on the other hand wrote letters joking about killing innocent people and I do not believe that he played siege on ba sing se without doing some gruesome things himself. I totally agree with Iroh having redeemed himself but since in my opinion Zuko never went as far as Iroh did he should be at the bottom.

[ChrisPTY]

Well, Ozai does have a couple of minor redeeming qualities: he saved Zuko from drowning when Zuko was a child. He also spared Zuko's life, albeit in a twisted way: he poisoned Azulon in exchange for not murdering his own son because of the lack of empathy Ozai showed when talking about Iroh losing Lu Ten to Azulon. Remember that after Ozai expressed a lack of interest in his brother losing his son, Azulon told him to murder Zuko so he could also understand the pain of losing a son.

Moreover, he advised, albeit in his own twisted way, his own son on how to have the mindset to be a good Fire Lord regarding having a strong determination to make difficult decisions. This was in the book where Zuko and Aang briefly fought. I forgot the name of the comic, but it is an amazing read. This doesn't take out the fact that he still should be number 1, but just pointing out because you said Ozai had ZERO redeeming aspect, and also shows that even people with high level of Dark Triad traits does have their few redeeming moments here and there, although they are quite rare.

[Emma_Riddle]

15:00 don’t forget that he also offered to let katara and zuko have his own mother

[newhybrid]

Something i want to say about Zhao is that he said something absolutely true to Zuko.

"If your father really wanted you home he would have already accepted you back, Avatar or no Avatar".

Thats not a villian moment
He legit dropped the bad guy personality for a bit there and just told Zuko the truth.
That was a wake up call that Zuko needed.
He wasnt telling it in a villianus MUAHAHA way, he got serious looked him in the eyes and told him how it really was.
He wasnt being smug or trying to provoke him etc.
Zuko should have known that from the start, he shouldn't have wanted to please his abuser.
Ozai was just looking for an excuse to have him away cause he despised him.
He did change his mind on Zuko after he returned cause he saw Zuko as now being strong and worthy of being his successor but it was only for the most cruel reasons.


Ozai indeed was going to do the same thing as Sozin did but much worse.
Definetly the most evil character
