   Buffy The Vampire Slayer gave us seven incredible seasons during its run   
   from 1996 to 2003, which was filled with tons of action, adventure,   
   heartbreak, and of course, drama. The show followed high schooler Buffy   
   Summers as she realized her calling as a vampire slayer. And with the help   
   of her trusted friends and supernatural sidekicks, she saved the world. A   
   lot.   
      
   Arguably one of the best things about was the array of interesting and   
   dynamic characters that we grew attached to during the show’s run. Joss   
   Whedon has a penchant for making characters who are relatable and witty yet   
   also flawed and complex. Given that the show is about a vampire slayer, it   
   goes without saying that many of these characters were vampires. There was   
   always a vamp hiding around each corner waiting to try their hand at the   
   slayer, but Buffy and the Scooby's always ended up successful. Some of these   
   vampire foes even became their friends (and lovers - well if you’re Buffy).   
      
   That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the most powerful vampires from the   
   show. Whether they almost took down the world or just took down another   
   character with their witty comments, we bet you’ll be surprised as to which   
   vampires come out on the top and which ones we consider a flop.   
      
      
   10.  The Anointed One   
       We think Spike got it right when he referred to this child vampire as   
   ‘The Annoying One’ rather than ‘The Anointed One.’ Viewers were led to   
   believe this kid was going to be one of the Big Bads of the season and that   
   he was going to pose a serious challenge for Buffy and the Scooby's.   
           Granted, the kids did lead Buffy to The Master, but that wasn’t the   
   hardest task. In the end, all it took to destroy this vampire was Spike   
   exposing him to direct sunlight, which was a pretty lackluster way to go, in   
   the grand scheme of themes. It didn’t help that the child acting was pretty   
   cringe-worthy, which is just another reason this vampire was more annoying   
   than powerful.   
      
   9. Harmony Kendall   
       Granted, Harmony wasn’t a vampire when we met her. She was sort of like   
   a Regina George knock-off but with half the brains. And while fans may have   
   thought transforming into a vampire at graduation would’ve made Harmony more   
   vicious, she was still pretty much the same Valley Girl afterwards.   
           There was never a moment that Harmony was truly scary or posed a   
   huge challenge to Buffy and her gang. Instead, even as a vampire, Harmony   
   was more concerned about her looks and her dating life - any vampire that   
   refers to Spike as ‘Blondie Bear’ can’t be too dangerous, right?   
           Although Harmony may not be the most powerful vampire in the   
   Buffyverse, she’s definitely still one of our favorites, especially thanks   
   to her redeeming arc on Angel.   
      
   8. Ann Pratt   
       Don’t remember this character? Well, Anne Pratt was the mother of   
   William (the Bloody) Pratt, who hard-core fans will recognize as the human   
   version of Spike.   
           In the sixth season of Buffy, we learn that Spike adored his mother   
   so much that he transformed her into a vampire after he becomes one so that   
   they can be together eternally. However, things go awry quickly. His mom   
   actually starts trying to come onto him in a weird Freudian-inspired way.   
           Spike quickly realizes it’s the evil of the vampire talking to him,   
   not his actual mom, so he stakes her. Although Mrs. Pratt may not have been   
   the most powerful in the physical sense, that whole scene between her and   
   Spike still leaves our stomachs churned, which is this vampire makes our   
   list.   
      
   7. Vampire Willow   
       Fans got insight into what Willow would be like as a vampire during the   
   episodes “The Wish” and “Doppelganger.” Unlike the real Willow, her   
   vampire   
   twin cares next to nothing about anyone. Vampire Willow isn’t afraid to   
   cause chaos wherever she goes and she wasn’t half bad at it, which is why   
   she ends up at #6 on this list.   
           However, even Vampire Willow wasn’t half as bad as Evil Willow, who   
   the Scooby's come face-to-face with in season five. She almost destroys the   
   world because she’s so heartbroken after the death of Tara (and who can   
   blame her - we’re still not over that!). Many fans believe that Vampire   
   Willow foreshadowed what Willow would later turn into.   
      
   6. Darla   
       Darla was one of the oldest vampires on the show, having turned Angel   
   who later turned Drusilla who then transformed Spike.   
           Being the oldest of their group means that she had the most time to   
   hone her skills, which is likely why she was so conniving and evil. With   
   that being said, she never seemed to have much of a chance against Buffy and   
   friends, which is likely why Darla kept running away only to reappear at   
   inopportune times.   
           Granted, many fans found Darla to be cooler during her stint on   
   Angel, but cooler doesn’t necessarily translate into more powerful.   
      
   5. The Master   
       The Master’s best quality was probably his sharp-witted humor. That   
   could cut a person down to size in an instant - metaphorically speaking. But   
   along with his fruit punch mouth, The Master was also pretty scary and   
   powerful.   
           Throughout the first season, we were led to believe he was going to   
   fulfill an ancient prophecy and kill the vampire slayer. And technically he   
   did do that. Buffy was dead when Xander and Angel got to her after her   
   run-in with The Master, and it was only because of Xander’s quick-thinking   
   (well, and CPR) that she survived.   
           Had The Master stuck around to make sure he definitely got rid of   
   Buffy then maybe he would have had a higher ranking on this list. But in the   
   end, this was another Big Bad that Buffy had the final say with.   
      
   4. Drusilla   
       Drusilla was a special brand of crazy, which is what helped her seem so   
   frightening. She had an incredible gift of foresight, allowing her to see   
   things before they happened. But she wasn’t the greatest at communicating,   
   so it was hard to tell if she was hallucinating or not.   
           Her irrationality is what made her so evil. She never had a second   
   thought while causing mayhem - to her it was just a game. She always had   
   inventive ideas for how to cause misery and would throw a tantrum if she   
   didn’t get her way. Plus, she was brilliant in Angel.   
           Still, Dru’s one weakness was men. She loved both Spike and Angel,   
   which drove her even crazier and ended up foiling most of her plans.
