Maybe Jack Bauer should wear a hooded robe and carry a scythe in the "24" movie

By Tung Yin

In the history of television, has any character intentionally killed more people than Jack Bauer has?   I mean, seriously . . . .

Okay, Stephen Saunders (the British terrorist in season 3 of "24") did kill several hundred people when he had his followers infect the residents of a downtown L.A. hotel with the lethal Cordelia virus.  And the nuclear engineer terrorist in season 6 of "24" killed something like 12,000 people when he set off a suitcase nuke in Valencia, California (home to Magic Mountain!).

Apart from those two, the only other person I can think of would be Captain Picard, during the time he was assimilated by the Borg and became Locutus; as Locutus, he directed the attack against Starfleet that crippled most of the star fleet and left thousands dead at the star Wolf 359.
