Theodore “Teddy” Maddox is a major antagonist of Fear The Walking Dead, serving as the overarching antagonist of the first half of season 6, the main antagonist of the second half, and the posthumous antagonist of the rest of the series.

He is a fanatical cult leader who attempted to wipe out all human life on Earth.

He was portrayed by John Glover, who also played Dr. Jason Woodrue in Batman & Robin.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • He manipulated people into joining his cult, using people during their worst times into joining his cult.
  • When he was a mortician, Teddy kidnapped 23 woman on hikes, killed them, and embalmed them in his secret bunker.
  • When his mother found his notebook and threaten to have him institutionalized, he murders her and buried her body in the backyard.
  • After restarting the doomsday cult, he gets dozens of innocent people killed, such as captives, random survivors, and Elias Vasquez and his Padre friends
  • When his cult discovered a beached military submarine with nuclear warheads, he planned to unlock the submarine and launch all the missiles to destroy the planet and hopefully end all human life so he can restart the work.
  • Ordered an attack on Tank Town, which caused at least 30 deaths
  • Released plague invested rats into an office building of survivors.
  • Kidnapped Alicia and manipulated Dakota (who recently lost her older sister Virginia) into joining his cult.
  • Successfully launched a nuclear missile with 12 war heads across America and was planning on leaving his cult to die and wait out the nuclear blast before going back to the submarine to release the rest of the missiles.
  • Despite his death, his actions held many consequences, more so than most of the other antagonists, due to the nuclear warheads mass murdering presumably thousands of people and causing a lot of the cities or states to be baron wastelands. This also caused major tensions and characters like Victor Strand to turn eviler as their hope of a better world lost their edge.
  • He was perfectly okay sacrificing any or all of his cult members and shows no care for them.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • Despite him murdering his mother, he is shown to at the very least regret the decision. He is shown in a flashback having an image of her on his cell wall, on which he stares at it and then looks away, saddened, before he takes the photo when he breaks out of prison.
