Negan

Once face-to-face, Negan rescues Perlie Armstrong () from the twisted torturer who attempts to throw Perlie from a high catwalk to the concrete below, even shooting him in the leg with a grappling hook as Negan begins to help him.

The most unusual thing about Negan's inclusion is that unlike Akuma, who originates from another fighting game, Negan has little relevance to the gaming world.

While it's obvious that will focus on the tense dynamic between Negan and Maggie, there seems to be a hole in Negan's storyline since the original show ended several years before the spinoff.

After Daryl punched Negan, Negan decided he had to make another example out of someone in the group -- and he chose Glenn.

Negan ultimately returned himself to Alexandria, spurred in part by a stern Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming), but Gilliam blamed that first incident on a guard he said failed to secure Negan’s cell door.

The Season 9 mid-season finale episode of AMC’s saw the escape of resident captured bad guy, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan.) After playing catch in his prison cell, Negan eventually realized his cell door was unlocked and he walked free.

Along with "What It Always Is," a Negan-centric episode of Season 10, Jorné scripted the episodes "Walk With Us" (with co-writer Nicole Mirante-Matthews) and "A Certain Doom" (with co-writers Corey Reed & Jim Barnes).

As limped on, Maggie and Negan’s unending blood feud became a central part of the show’s identity — in turn, making this strange connection from Morgan and Cohan’s past even stranger.

By the end of episode 2, however, Ginny has fled Hilltop in pursuit of Negan, and while the exact reason is currently unclear, The Walking Dead: Dead City leaves a trail of breadcrumbs that prove Maggie has not been completely honest.

Dwight seeing it again undoubtedly brings up the same pain he felt then, but also symbolizes his devotion to Sherry since he covered up her escape by claiming he killed her after Negan ordered him to find her.

Either way, Negan sacrificed his relationship with Ginny in order to keep her safe.

Even if Negan doesn't appear on Fear The Walking Dead, fans won't have to wait much longer to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan's bat-wielding character.

He sees himself as recreating what Negan built years before.

In Season 8, Negan and the Saviors went to war with Rick and the people of Alexandria, causing his kill count to increase.

In tribute to Steven Yeun's Glenn, Maggie confirms outright forgiveness for Negan is off the table, despite admitting she respects his quest for atonement and recognizes his genuine remorse.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan recalls filming an alternate scene for The Walking Dead season 7 that featured Negan killing Maggie instead of Glenn.

Maggie and Negan reunite's series finale to rescue her teenage son Hershel Jr. from The Croat in Manhattan.

Morgan unpacked the shared history between Negan and the Croat in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Negan made poor choices pre-apocalypse, cheating on his wife Lucille after losing his job as a gym teacher and lacking motivation while being supported by his hard-working spouse.

Of course, that backfired on Alpha when she died as Negan seemed to finally accept her offer only to slice her throat, ending her threat to his people.
