60. Agent Smith
The Matrix
Cold, ruthless, hateful. Smith is a stone-faced computer program with a hatred for the humans he must keep in control.
An agent for the machines, the silken-voiced Smith runs on hate. He lives for it and despises his job of enforcing order in the Matrix, making sure humans follow the rules pushed by the machines and torturing them if they don't follow.
The interesting thing about the stony, stiff agent is that he's consistently interesting. Interesting amid the sea of uninteresting ideas that is "The Matrix," Smith manages to stay interesting even as the film's storylines get more bloated and more ridiculous.
Being a program, he has the abilities to be anywhere and do virtually anything to his target. Plus he can multiply himself, which is awesome, and can do AMAZING KUNG FU WHOAAAAA.
Defining moment: His speech to a captured Morpheus, where expounds on his thoughts about the humanity he keeps under control. He calmly explains how they are a virus. And he is the cure.
