TV show villain showdown: The Governor vs. Gus Fring vs. Ben Linus

[ThemBombs]

VS.

VS.



SCENARIO: in a new post-apocalyptic world where society has ended, these 3 have gathered a group of survivors and settled in their own respective small abandoned towns, fortifying it and beginning the rebuilding process. they want to expand and gain more resources, but the problem is... they are all close by each other. the 3 develop an intense rivalry and plan to kill each other off, until only one remains. who is the first one to get killed, and by whom? and who ends up winning this three-way war?

assume that each of the villains have their right-hands and respective armies, i.e Mike and his enforcers for Gus Fring, Merle and the Woodbury army for The Governor, the Others for Ben Linus

The question is does Ben get the blessing/protection from Jacob/The man in black. If not then his character will be skewed by the change in position. He still wins regardless.. if he has the blessing its downright slaughter.


The Governor would get killed by an infiltrating killer sent by Ben. Much like he did various times in LOST. Ben is extensively schooled in penetrating social walls and portraying a situation different than its actual reality. He could even do it himself, since he killed his own father without a bit of remorse.

Then it would be Gus vs. Ben... Ben winning out in the end since he has experience living in bad environments and tactically planning to take down other groups. Gus is a genius at business and ruthless as a boss but he would be undermaned and under-experienced in operating social groups in hazardous environment warfare.

The Governor because his rise to power is most like the scenario. The other two were part of a larger piece. Fring was part of the mafia and Ben was... I don't know what happened on lost..

The Governor wins.

Ben.

He's the smartest, most cunning one, with really no weaknesses or something to use against him. He was willing to get tortured and beat up to get information. He's a master manipulator that will get the others to fight against each other and do his bidding without them knowing.

And...

He can kick ass.

Since you don't know what happened on LOST, then you can't realize why Ben would absolutely win.

All I know is that in terms of character: Gus > Ben >>> The Governor

Ben would completely use and manipulate Governor. He'd pretend he was a quiet humble minion and quietly make the Gov bid his plans. And when the Gov found out, he'd get rid of him while having the entire community follow him.

Like you mentioned, people don't know how bad Ben was.

He didn't have the calm and collected look that Gus had, he wasn't a tough guy like Gov.

But if all three were in the same room, Ben would have them kill each other, without him lifting a finger.
