In The Walking Dead, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is the leader of a group of survivors called the Saviors, who subjugate other communities for protection in return for protection from zombies. When Rick Grimes encounters Negan and his baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire called Lucille, he may have finally met his match.

As The Walking Dead group settles into suburban life in picturesque Alexandria, Carol (Melissa McBride) pretends she’s Suzy Homemaker to trick the others into letting their guards down around her. When the Wolves attack Alexandria however, Carol’s survival instincts kick in as she activates ninja mode, ruthlessly killing the Wolves after disguising herself as one.

Daryl Dixon is a fan-favorite Walking Dead character played by Norman Reedus. He’s a quiet southerner whose survival skills shine through in the zombie apocalypse. And like a proud redneck, his outfit is low key… aside from the crossbow and animal pelts.

In The Walking Dead, King Ezekiel (Khary Payton), with his pet tiger Shiva by his side, leads a community called the Kingdom. A close friend of Paul Monroe, he hopes to team up with Rick Grimes to take down Negan.
