105. Thoth-Amon (Conan Stories)
Priest of Set; former royal advisor to the King of Stygia. Thoth-Amon was reputed to be the most powerful sorcerer of the Hyborian era. However, for a number of reasons his powers waxed and waned. At times he has possessed virtually limitless power, and at others he could only manage a few simple tricks. Apparently, with time and preparation, he can amass large amounts of power. He has been shown to transfer his mind into that of lesser creatures, project his essence across great distances to contact others, project bolts of magical force and form shields, levitate objects, animate inanimate objects, mentally manipulate others, teleport, and summon and control demonic creatures. A large degree of his powers were dependent on his Serpent Ring, a power source apparently tied to Set.

109. Julian Sark - Alias
There is much that is not known about Sark. He spent most of his youth in England although it is believed that he was born in Galway, Ireland. He is apparently very wealthy as a result of an inheritance from his father, Andrian Lazarey, a descendant of the Romanovs. He was co-leader of the North American branch of the Covenant although he routinely changes his alliances, having previously worked underneath Irina Derevko, then known as "the Man". Sark was involved in an affair with the NSC turncoat, Lauren Reed, who was the wife of Michael Vaughn, and later claimed to have been in love with her.
Sark is the dashing young bad guy in Alias. His smarmy attitude often reflects his ability to foil plans for his capture; however, he has been imprisoned by the CIA twice so far. He is generally the right-hand man to others, rarely taking the role of leader for himself. Only Sark seems to know to whom his true allegiance is owed.

On the cartoon, that was true. But in the comics, a lot of them died. And not just after they were picked up by Dark Horse. When they were still with Marvel, I remember a bunch of Joes, including Quick Kick, were actually executed by Cobra. Pretty heady stuff when you're 12.

110. Raistlin Majere - Dragonlance
Rasitlin is absolutely cynical and sarcastic. He takes joy from seeing others at fault—a clear representation of his superiority complex. However, due to his physical weakness, permanent asthma (and Caramon's physical superiority, more sociable attitude) he represents a slight inferiority complex as well; which forges the core of his jeolousy he feels for his twin brother in his early life—which later dissolves through his achivements.

111. Lord Soth
Evil, pure evil. The one name that signifies corruption and evil is Lord Soth of Dargaard Keep, the Knight of the Black Rose.
Some say the elfmaid's curse still echoes throughout the mountains around the castle. Others claim Lord Soth repeats the words to fill the silence of his long and sleepless nights. The flames took Soth's life that night, but he did not die. Blackened and burned, he was reborn as an unliving, undead creature of evil. He still wears the charred armor of a Knight of Solamnia, but the rose emblem that once told of his honor was scorched and twisted by the fire. It is by this corrupted symbol - the black rose - that many know Soth; and for more than three hundred years he has walked the earth, doing the bidding of the most evil of evil deities, Takhisis, Queen of Darkness.

Blinky the red monster
Pac-Man
Pinky has the tactical acumen to swing around the maze and intercept Pac-Man, while chicken-hearted Inky seems to actively avoid confrontations. And where the hell is Clyde going? But Blinky is the fiercest pursuer, following hot on your heels and mercilessly devouring your quarters while you struggle you way through the maze. And while Blinky's hot pursuit often means he is the first to fall when you eat the magic pill and embark on your rampage of vengance, he always comes back to haunt you again.
