William Stuart is the main antagonist of the second installment in the Die Hard series, Die Hard 2. A former colonel in the US military, Stuart goes rogues and becomes the leader of a terrorist cell whose goals are to free the notorious drug lord, General Ramon Esperanza, from custody and then make money after escaping from the US.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- During a snowstorm, Stuart sabotages the electricity at Dulles International Airport. This endangered several planes that were running low on fuel and couldn't land because the communications system was unusable.
- Despite not caring about his men being killed, he threatens another of his men by putting a gun to his head and threatening to kill him if he fails again.
- Murders an old man and has his team set up their headquarters in his church.
- In retaliation for John McClane killing his men, the same men who previous slaughtered an airport security team, Stuart crashes the Windsor 114 into the airport killing 230 innocent people.
- Wants to free General Ramon Esperanza, a notorious drug lord and dictator, because he fully agrees with Esperanza... all while making a fortune in the process.
- When his mentor, Major Grant, was killed by John McClane, Stuart watched in glee.
- Not only does Stuart refuse to show any remorse for his actions, but he views those same actions with defiance and pride.
- Overall, he lacks any enjoyable traits and is portrayed as completely unlikable. Even Hans Gruber from the first film, despite also being pure evil, had a lot more likable traits then Stuart, being an MB.
Trivia[]
- William Sadler, Stuart's actor, takes it as a compliment when people say that they hated his character as even he interprets Stuart as being irredeemably evil.
