Tintin Forums

Well, I'm a simple fellow, and can't quite get my head around the idea of having a favourite villain.

And yet, there is one "villain" who is actually a very sympathetic character - Huascar, in Prisoners of the Sun. He must be considered a "villain" in some sense, since he tries to kill Tintin twice - once via the runaway train carriage, once by burning at the stake.

But unlike Allan, Rastapopoulos, Mitsuhirato, and the others, he is actually a decent human being.

I like Rastapopulous, maybe 'cause I've known him for longer than anyone else :D I find him somewhat absurdly funny and pure evil and a diabolical genius who manages to get away every time--EVERY TIME. But Tintin always manages to thwart him--every time!

I also like Ramon and Alonso...they're the first Tintin baddies I've met, and I liked the way they're always finding some way to get what they want. Also the strange and funny things that happen to them. (Ramon sitting on a pincushion after getting shot in the rear? Classic!)

Rastapopulous is my most favourite villain but Dr. Muller is probably the most insidious of all Tintin villains.

I never thought about it because I never thought of Tintin as being very villain centric.

Moved from a separate thread…

Who is the most evil villain?

In my opinion, Dr. Müller is the most evil one, because he is not afraid of anything and he always has a plan.

I agree with you that muller is one tough and dangerous charater. But Bobby smiles in tintin in america in number 1 for me. Bobby smiles is the al capones rival and proposes to tintin to help him bring the notorious gangster down. However tintin refudes and smiles then goes out of his way to kill him. Tintin only escapes death at his hands by sheer luck. First smiles tries to drown him in michigan lake, then has a hired killer to shoot him with a machine gun, then turns a tribe of amerindiens against him, then Smiles shoots at tintin with his rifle causing him to fall in a 1000 foot deep canyon, then ties him to a railway track and finaly dynamites a hole clife to crush him under rocks. Tintin then finaly manages to turn him in to the police. You can see that smiles is one tough and serious adverssary, a real man of action compared to the extravagant rastapopoulos.

favorite villain? actually it's a tie between Rastapopoulos and Sponsz. I mean they both are the best. Of course old rusty ( that's Rastapopoulos for short!) is somewhat more calculating than Sponsz. Don't you think so?

My fave is without doubt the excellent Kronick and Klumsi!!
These guys would be good to have a drink with!
