If a story is only as good as its villains, then no wonder Mr. Robot was fantastic. Here are the show’s best villains, ranked.

As often argued when analyzing stories of all kinds, sometimes they are only as great as their best villains. Thankfully, USA’s recently-concluded, Golden Globe-nominated hit had many antagonists to choose from for assorted ranking purposes. The following 10 each spent considerable time within the Mr. Robot universe as the foil to series lead Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) and his many associates.
They range from circumstantially malevolent to the doggone devil incarnate. Some villainous turns may initially surprise viewers, but after due consideration, many come to realize what series creator Sam Esmail had written to be true all along.
10 Phillip Price
The E(vil) Corp CEO’s intimidating presence lingered through his recurring appearances scattered across the show’s four seasons. With many other antagonists reporting back to the powerful businessman, it was equally as difficult for audiences to trust Phillip Price as it was for those he spent intellectually muscling.
The final nail in the coffin for any hope Price had in gaining sympathy (even before jumping to the good side) was the Darth Vaderian reveal of him being Angela’s biological father.
9 Ray
The noted funnyman most famous for roles in comedies like The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) and This is The End (2013) went dramatic for Mr. Robot’s second season.
While envisioned alternatively through Elliot’s coping mechanism for imprisonment, the actual prison warden compared Elliot to religious and musical prophets in order to establish a rapport. After agreeing to help Ray with an issue in his computer’s migration system, Elliot discovers Ray’s intimate ties to the dark web. A realization that – combined with Ray’s response – irrevocably shattered his dependability.
8 Magda Alderson (Elliot’s Mother)
In season 4, a few alternate versions of Elliot’s verbally abusive mother – played by Vaishnavi Sharma – arrived within his ever-racing mind to pick up the pieces done by her real-life counterpart.
However, Magda ultimately remained unredeemed, as a colossal reveal midway through the show’s final season left her subject to well-deserved condemnation. Not necessarily for something she did, but rather what she failed to stop.
7 Janice
FBI Agent Dominique “Dom” DiPierro was left in disarray upon witnessing the death and dismemberment of her crooked colleague Agent Santiago at season 3’s end. In order to ensure she would not talk, The Dark Army sent their on-staff taxidermy connaisseur/torture expert to threatfully squash all attempts.
Initially introduced as a seemingly harmless blind date candidate, Janice’s personality shift from wholesome-to-menacing upon acknowledging her Dark Army connection had Dom and audiences alike mentally running for the hills. And it only grew worse from there.
6 Irving
Administering Santiago’s last rights by way of an ax-beheading, the Red Wheelbarrow Rib House-obsessed enigma routinely juxtaposed comedic zing with bloody demonstrations of loyalty to The Dark Army.
Whether it was saving lives or harboring fugitives, Irving’s (Bobby Cannavale) actions always seemed to be in subservience to the shadow organization who cashed his paychecks. Even so, his last-minute season 4 reemergence to promote a book reiterated that despite the atrocious crimes he has committed, his chipper attitude never ceased to be contagious.
5 Whiterose
The preferred identity for the transgender world influencer otherwise known as Minister Zhang helped noted TV actor BD Wong (Oz, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) earn wide acclaim and break type while doing so.
A self-proclaimed “time” hacker, their knack for masking supervillainous rhetoric through a calming tone combated the running slew to the contrary. Every one-on-one, Dark Knight-evoking cerebral interrogation conducted by The Dark Army leader made for must-watch TV.
4 Elliot’s Rage
Addressed at length in season 4, the cynical vigilante hacker audiences thought they knew was revealed to be “unreal.” While the real Elliot laid dormant, Elliot’s “Rage” took charge and served as his personality that possessed only the capacity for angst.
Fans feared the times when the main character oft-argued to be an anti-hero got himself in hot water. As per the persistent efforts of “Rage” Elliot, his never-seen counterpart was therefore absolved of what the happiness-negating parasite within him managed to achieve when in charge. Rage Elliot is not to be confused with Elliot’s titular alternate personality.
3 Tyrell
Before the series established he was in on fsociety’s initiative from the get, Tyrell felt like a new age Patrick Bateman dropped smack in the middle of the show’s alternative (but not far removed from modern) reality.
In season 1, Tyrell slept around town and embarked on a quasi-killing spree of corporate movers and shakers, doing whatever it took to get ahead. Due to traits shared with the aforementioned Bret Easton Ellis character played by Christian Bale – who just joined the MCU – and his delusions of global grandeur, a Tyrell-centric spinoff/origin story would most assuredly be titled “American Socio.”
2 Mr. Robot / Elliot’s Father
When they were in cahoots, there was no tandem more in sync than Elliot and Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) as his risk-taking, assertive self.
However, despite proving to be the fatherly counsel and shoulder to cry on Elliot lacked in his adult life, Mr. Robot’s primary alter ego provided much of the tangible damage Elliot struggled to control. And since he bore the likeness of Elliot’s deceased father – who turned out to be much more villainous than originally perceived – there is no disputing the subconscious pain Mr. Robot’s presence caused, no matter how much it awakened Elliot in the end.
1 Vera
Whenever Elliot was in a pinch related to his fsociety exploits, Vera always seemed to drop in out of nowhere to declare himself as the force who should be feared most.
A major player in season 1, the kingpin fled after leveraging Shayla’s life to coerce Elliot into breaking him out of prison. Upon his return to prominence in season 4, Vera did not relent in relying on his preachy, spiritually-justificative nature to psychologically destroy Elliot in a wholly original therapy-by-gunpoint session.
