I feel like a loser making all these but I make these days beforehand so I can always pop a new one up right away, so maybe not.
What's the work?[]
Criminal Minds is an American police procedural crime drama television series created and produced by Jeff Davis and Erica Messer. The story follows the BAU, a form of FBI that explores a series of murderers, shootings, bombings, rapes, etc.… and investigates who is the culprit. These specific candidates are from season 8 and uhhh... the one that comes after, most probably 9.
Who is he?[]
John Curtis, also known as the Replicator, is the main antagonist of Season 8 in the TV series Criminal Minds. He is a disgruntled FBI agent who copies the modus operandi and signatures of serial killers investigated by the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), whom he blames for ruining his career. he is Alex Blake's archenemy.
What has he done?[]
- Despite being insanely smart, having an IQ of 172 and learning things like biochemistry, he always kept to himself and after being betrayed, these traits became his whole personality.
- Pointed out by Alex Blake, if he worked hard and stopped having a grudge for Erin Strauss for getting him demoted, he could have joined the BAU, also, the moment he was forced to leave, he got a job as a lower level agent and later got back to the position he was in, instead of being happy where he was, he was angry living in Kansas (Which he simply didn't like) and didn't want to help anyone by taking down criminals.
- For several months after dealing with the Face Cards and Izzy rogers, he stalked and taunted the BAU, also keeping hundreds of pictures of them.
- Called Spencer Reid trying to call Maeve Donovan and said "Zugzwang"
- Send JJ flowers that also said "Zugzwang
- left a photo of Hotchner at the scene of Donnie Bidwell's victims.
- Hacked into Penelope Garcia's computer system with the words "Zugzwang" repeating on the screen.
- As "The Replicator" he murdered 6 people in very brutal ways
- Killed a woman by using the M.O of a random Seattle serial killer
- Sewed Maxwell Holmes's mouth shut and suffocated him; Based off of John Myers/The Silencer.
- Killed a blond man by cutting off the bottom of his right leg and killing him for blood lost or gangrene, also killed a black man in the same way and replacing it with the blond man's leg; Based off of John Nelson's murders
- Killed Megan Lowenbach by dislocating her bones, hanging her, and putting her in a box; Partially based off of Adam Rain
- For his last murder, killed a woman by torturing her with suffocation and beating her to death with a hammer; Based off of David Turner and Toby Whitewood's murder of Shawna Radford
- Manipulated Donnie Bidwell, a man whose life was ruined after being said to be the killer of 4-5 nurses, into killing one person with the M.O of Jack Lee Kemper and forcing him to kill 2 women by torturing them like Bryan Hughes.
- To make sure he couldn't be traced back, he forced Donnie into overdosing on pills, making him die from a suicide.
- Breaks into Erin Strauss's house, slowly torturing her by carving her wrists with the number 8 like the false report on Philip Connor that she made, and drug her with wine, making sure she doesn't get enough to die fast like how Larry Feretich did his murders, but enough to give her hallucinations and kill her minutes to hours later.
- Put Hotch's DNA on Strauss's body and poisoned David Rossi with a letter into pointing a gun at Hotch, all to taunt the BAU.
- Hacked into the BAU agents' helicopters, crashing one of them and kidnapping Alex after using a smoke grenade on it. Also trying to do the same to the other helicopter.
- In a final attack, planted bombs in the house and used a motion center to shut the sliding door when Blake got up, however, he was tricked by Rossi after putting a coin in the door to keep it open, killing Curtis once and for all.
Heinous Standard and mitigating Factors[]
As Alex Blake points out to him, if he just worked hard and stopped his grudge of Erin Strauss for ruining his job, he could have got into the BAU as he wanted, and he goes way too far with his revenge and him keeping images of his victims he replicated, even shows a sadistic side to him.
Heinous Standard is very high, full of serial killers who are unable to count for not having at least double digits and/or not killing and abusing victims enough to impact them. So, 11 murderers in total, nine being in ways that WERE ALWAYS torturous, and double enforced suicide. The only reason he passes the baseline is being the biggest enemy of the whole BAU, killing Strauss and attempted to kill the whole team, which to every antagonist who only traumatizes one hero? he is VERY personal; still doesn't make up for an absent in kill count.
Verdict[]
You decide IG, I'll say very weak yes though.

Criminal Minds is an American police procedural crime drama television series created and produced by Jeff Davis and Erica Messer. The story follows the BAU, a form of FBI that explores a series of murderers, shootings, bombings, rapes, etc… and investigates who is the culprit. This specific episode is in season 5.

Deputy Owen McGregor is an antagonist in the TV series Criminal Minds, serving as the main antagonist of the Season Nine two-part finale "Angels" and "Demons". He is a corrupt deputy of Texas who runs several criminal activities within the state. He is also the leader of a group of corrupt deputies.
What has he done?[]
- A sheriff deputy, he secretly betrayed the sheriff's by running various criminal organizations, specifically a drug, weapon, and human trafficking ring, eventually, manipulating them into joining.
- it's highly likely he killed dozens of other innocent people or rivals to protect and advance his crime organizations, he also
- His human trafficking doesn't rely on offscreen villainy as its shown that when the BAU enter his scrapyard, several illegal immigrants are being smuggled across the border, and they escape the moment they can.
- Viewing the lead sheriff as a danger to his rings, he attempted to shoot him in a fabricated shootout, but when it didn't work, poisoned him, including forced Dinah Stidham to stay quiet or else he would kill her son.
- Unfortunately for them, a group of prostitutes, hired by Justin Mills, witnessed them, Owen started blackmailing them but in the series of the episodes, killed them or ordered them to have tortured them with stab and slash wounds to the back. In the beginning, they killed Abigail Jones and Tabitha Ryerson
- Even worse, before murdering them, he did consensual Sadomasochism with them first, which could be considered rape if they were threatened to do it or they did it to save themselves from being hurt, which ultimately failed.
- Unfortunately for them, a group of prostitutes, hired by Justin Mills, witnessed them, Owen started blackmailing them but in the series of the episodes, killed them or ordered them to have tortured them with stab and slash wounds to the back. In the beginning, they killed Abigail Jones and Tabitha Ryerson
- When Travis Henson, who was threatened by Mills to find McGregor, he tricks him by giving him drugs but feigns the deal and shoots him with a M1911, he then killed 2 more prostitutes and propped them up by Henson's body
- Mills, preparing to ambush him and the deputies, is instead ambushed himself and Owen responds by shooting at Mills and killing Peter Coleman
- Due to instigating the shootout, he directly gets Spencer Reid shot in the throat by Mills, other deputies killed, and getting the latter killed by Derek Morgan.
- Ordered Marty Bennett, Vicky Lorenzana, Greg Baylor, and several of his men to kill the BAU, when it failed however, tried to get Penelope Garcia and Reid killed after Garcia shut and locked a door on him.
- Shot and killed Marty Bennett and Vicky Lorenzana, one of them being his right-hand man for failing to kill two agents.
- In the scrapyard confrontation, he was shown trafficking humans across the border and getting his corrupt deputies to attack Jennifer Jareau and Derek Morgan, while he himself got into a fistfight with Hotchner which leads to him being shot.
- Due to getting Spencer Reid shut in the throat, Alex calls Reid by her deceased sons name, Ethan, because he sees him as a son figure, also leading to her revealing her trauma of how her son died of a sickness and her resigning from the force because of guilt.
Heinous Standard and mitigating Factors[]
11 murders, for criminal minds isn't actually a lot, but coupled with the attempted murder of 10+ officers and sheriffs, and the fact he is 1/5 human traffickers in the series, should barely allow him to stand out with personal villainy and his corruption/organizations, which most likely killed dozens. Also, the implication of rape would make him pass it better, but you know, I don't know if he counts, very lackluster for a finale villain despite the chaos he commits.
Bro actively kills members who fail him, I don't think there's much to mention here.
