Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Big Bads, Ranked From Most Heroic To Most Villainous – Screen Rant

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was well known for its Big Bads but who was the biggest and baddest of them all?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was around for seven seasons, and each year, there was a big bad that Buffy and her Scooby Gang had to defeat. However, not all villains are created equal. Through the years, Buffy fought demons wanting to open Hellmouth, monsters that wanted to rule the world, and two close companions turned bad.

Each season finished with Buffy and her friends overcoming the Big Bads of the season, although some of the battles came with high casualties. The most villainous of the Big Bads took down beloved characters with them, while the most heroic was able to come around in the end and become heroes when all was said and done.

Willow Rosenberg was one of the Scooby Gang's most heroic members, although there was always darkness boiling under the surface. That darkness rose in Season 5.Willow started to become addicted to magic and started to push the boundaries and use it excessively. She even used it to alter her own friends' memories.

Then, when Warren Mears accidentally murdered Tara, Willow went dark and became the Big Bad of Season 6.Buffy had no chance, but it was Xander who used their close friendship to bring Willow back. Willow rehabilitated and became a stronger hero in the end.

in Season 2, there were two major Big Bads. Spike and Drusillawere the main antagonists for Buffy for much of the season throughout most of the season. However, soon Buffy's boyfriend Angel and Buffy consummated their relationship. Since his curse wouldn't allow happiness, he turned back into Angelus and became the ruthless main Big Bad of Season 2.

He was overly powerful, and it took Willow's magic to give Angel his soul back, but Buffy had to kill him anyway to save the world. Angel eventually returned, and both Angel and Spike became heroes in the end.

In Season 3, it was Buffy and the Scooby Gang taking on the Sunnydale mayor. The mayor was Richard Wilkins, who had served in the role from the time that Sunnydale started up until his fall. He was the Big Bad who was a sorcerer who wanted to become an actual demon.
