When you stop to think about it, the Forces of Darkness really have it in for our favorite Saint. He’s had to face some real opposition over the years. How many can you think of? -The Grinch of course. -The Sea Hag (King Features 1961 animated series): kidknapped Santa, held him prisoner, was going to destroy all the toys in his sack until Popeye saved the day. -Burgermeister Meisterburger (Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town): tried to ban toys from his realm, delcared Kris Kringle an outlaw. ---

Is it Voldar in **Santa Claus Conquers the Martians** that tries to kill him? ---

Saddam Hussein’s guards DO kill Santa in the South Park episode “Red Sleigh Down”. But Jesus comes by and resurrects him. ---

In \*\*The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe \*\* the Wicked Witch has successfully managed to prevent Father Christmas from visiting Narania for many years. His arrival is one sign that her power is on the wane. ---

Wrestling star **The Ultimate Warrior** did… [something](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Warrior) to the poor guy in his short-lived comic book. > [@](#): > > The comic’s most enduring issue, and the one which has received the most ridicule and is now worth the most money, is one of the final issues, which breaks away from the main storyline into a Christmas tale. The plot of the comic is hard to decipher, as it contains no dialogue, monologue, or text boxes. Inexplicably, Warrior attacks the North Pole, usurps Santa Claus’ authority over the elves, and in the final frame, which gained the comic its enduring popularity, a sweaty Warrior forces Santa into bondage gear and poses beside him. The apparent sexual undertones, lack of an actual plot, and non-sequitur nature (nothing from the previous issue served to segue into the Santa attack issue) gained the comic cult popularity, especially on the internet. Though nothing sexually explicit is depicted in the comic, some fans have come to describe it as the “santa rape” issue; more commonly, it is referred to as “the one where Warrior puts Santa in bondage”. I swear I am not making this up. ---

There’s Oogie Boogie, from _Nightmare Before Christmas_. Some sort of stomach flu or something, in the SNL skit in which Hanukah Harry fills in for Santa. King Herod was arguably the first ever to try to destroy Christmas. ---

Since Bun Bun has already been covered (good show, fellow Sluggites!), I’ll submit Daolon Wong. In a Christmas episode of _Jackie Chan Adventures_ (“A Jolly J-Team Xmas”), he kidnapped the jolly old elf with the intent of of stealing and corrupting the vast amounts of good chi Santa possesses. Santa also has an elvish analogue to a Secret Service detachment, which reminded me of the Black Ops Elves from Sluggy. ---

Robot Santa in _Futurama_ does his best to ruin every Xmas. Would we count the Bumble from _Rudolph_ or is he not evil, just misguided? ---

Multiple Santa from the animated _Tick_ certainly tests the Tick’s Christmas spirit, but he may not be classifiable as having tried to destroy Christmas per se. ---
