Adult Swim's Top 10 Khans

#10. Comic Khan

In this clip, William Shatner instigates 2011's Great Soiling of Hall H, as thousands of nerds piss themselves shouting along with Captain Kirk.

#9. Khan (X-Men)

Just like Genghis (no relation), Khan ruled a vast empire, including, like, 30 different versions of Earth in parallel universes. But, unlike Genghis, no one talks about him anymore and he was purple.

#8. Salman Khan

Salman Khan not only named an academy after himself, but has managed to explain math to kids using only the power of YouTube. Do you hear that? It's the sound of a thousand Hollywood moguls fighting over the right to make Stand and Deliver 2.

#7. Kubla Khan

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous drug-induced poem about the joys and shackles of inspiration is about the closest a high school curriculum gets to being meta.

#6. Le Wrath di Khan (Robot Chicken)

It's not over until the fat Ferengi sings.

#5. Chaka Khan

Over the past 35 years, Chaka has won 10 Grammys. Or, adjusting for inflation, seven paper clips and a dog fart.

#4. King Khan

If you don't know who he is, look up "King Khan and the Shrines" and as for why he makes the list: 1) was in a band called The Maury Povich 2) gained notoriety by sticking his bare buttocks in the face of Lindsay Lohan at Cannes 3) was in a movie called Enchiladas de Amore 4) there's more, but do you really need more?

#3. Shere Khan

Shere Khan once was a ferocious jungle tiger (in The Jungle Book) until he decided to stand upright and put on a suit in TaleSpin. Now he outsources all his jobs to his home country.

#2. Genghis Khan

We consider Genghis Khan's rampage in a sporting goods store from 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure to be a mostly accurate depiction of the sack of Beijing.

#1. Khan Noonien Singh (Star Trek)

As portrayed by Ricardo Montalban, Khan is perhaps the best-known villain from the Star Trek universe. His most ruthless act, however, was infecting Herve Villechaize with a Ceti eel on Fantasy Island.
