No. 10 - Dr. Eldon Tyrell

Dr. Eldon Tyrell (Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, 1982) embodies many of the best mad scientist hooks: greedy businessman, man trying to be God, extreme hubris, lust for power — and we could go on.

His crushing end at the hands of one of his own creations is sweet justice in one of the best sci-fi films ever made. In the end Tyrell personifies his own corporation's motto "more human than human."
