20 Goon Groups It Would Be The Worst To Work For, Ranked

Henching aint’ easy. You’re down on your luck and aching for a change in life, then you see some megalomaniac with funds recruit some folks in order to input some societal change, gain wealth beyond measure, or turn everyone into gorillas or something. Whatever the reason, henchmen and goons just join up in order to be a part of the movement, making a dishonest living, or both.
And it sucks.
Any job that requires the possibility of regularly getting punched in the face by some do-gooder isn’t a good job. While doing illegal things can be a thrill, organized crime can still have bureaucracy and lack of agency. There are also some cases where you just don’t have any free will at all, or just become a mindless monster at your supervillain’s beck and call.
Here is a ranking of some of the top goon groups in pop culture from the least best to the absolute worst one to join.
