User blog:BeholderofStuff/Pure Evil Proposal:Wade (River Wild)

Already listed as PE on here but i thought I'd begin proposing villains already accepted to make sure they're approved and ensure no further abuse. I give you Wade from River Wild.

WHo is he?
Wade is a criminal who is trying to make it across the gauntlet with his partners, Terry and Frank, with money they had robbed from a cattle auction. Frank unfortunately was wounded in a shoot out. When Frank proves useless in guiding them due to his wounds, Wade forces Terry to kill him. After Gale and her family make it through the river, Wade uses his charm to get them to help him get across, planning later to use Gale's son, Roarke, to blackmail her into taking them, all the while trying to turn them against her husband, Tom.

What has he done?
Wade is more than just a greedy criminal. He has proven he has a knack for psychological torture and mind games, given he forced Terry to shoot their partner Frank for very little reason other than pitiness, tries to turn Tom's family against him by winning Roarke over, and attempting to kill their dog because he sees her and Tom as expendable. he also goes to far as to beat Tom infront of his family when they try to escape. He ignores Gail's warning about the Gauntlet and even hits on her when she begs him not to force them. After a park ranger refuses to let them go for their safety, Wade kills him infront of Gale (knowing they were close friends) and jokes about it afterwards. Earlier int he film when Tom tries to escape, Wade taunts him about the seconds he has to live before he tries to shoot him.

Redeeming Qualities?
None. Some may argue he would have let them live once he got across the Gauntlet, but this is proven false at the end of the film. Once Gale gets ahold of their  gun and has the upper hand, Wade begs for his life and says he won't kill them because she got them across. Once she spares them and it appears the gun is empty, however, Wade orders Terry to kill her family while he tries to kill her. Once she realizes the gun wasn't empty, she shoots him but not before he tries to kill her once last time. This proves he had no real intention of letting them go. Some may argue he cared for Terry cause at some point in the film, when Terry falls overboard, Wade orders them to pick him up. This hardly stands given Wade abuses Terry and it's implied he threatened to kill him if he didn't kill Frank-showing he only says Terry as a useful partner-nothing more.

Conclusion?
He counts.
