10. Raquel Has Scrappy Killed (Raising Kanan)

Raquel could have made this list for many reasons. She convinced her son to shoot his father and killed D-Wiz to cover up her son's crimes. However, Kanan's father didn't die, and D-Wiz didn't really mean much to Raquel. Scap, on the other hand, was one of her most loyal soldiers. Scrap lost his eye for Raquel and her crew and got back to work. Even after all that, Raquel killed him based on half-ass incorrect intel that he was a rat.

9. Jenny Abandons Saxe (Ghost)

How many times did you think someone would cancel Christmas on Saxe's ass? I personally thought Saxe was done when Ghost and Tommy showed up and put a bag over his head. In the end, it was his own girl. Jenny didn't kill Saxe, but she lathered him in honey and tied him to a tree. Jenny and Saxe had a sexual and romantic connection.

Saxe poured out his heart to Jenny. Saxe basically proposed to her without a ring. How did Jenny react? She stomped on his heart and used Saxe for her case. When her case against Tariq failed, Jenny threw a fit and refused to protect Saxe even though he put his life at risk for her and her case and gave her his heart. Saxe was captured and killed as soon as he left her office. Jenny, how could you be so heartless?

8. Unique Tortures and Kills Trez- G (Raising Kanan)

You might wonder why Unique killing off a minor character is a bigger deal than Raquel killing Scrap. The answer is simple; Trez-G wasn't a minor character in Unique's life. Trez-G was Unique's best friend since they were kids, and he killed him and brutally tortured him. If he had to go, then Unique could have just smoked him. However, Unique decided to tie him up and pull his ear off his head till it was hanging off his head and then kill him.

Trez was a drug addict, and he was smoking during the drop, but he was actually the one who pointed out the police to everyone else who completely missed it. Unique suspected that Trez had talked, but Trez's last words were that he loved Unique, and he didn't tell anybody anything. Unique killed him in cold blood right after that. The irony is that Raquel, who Unique would later work with, is the person who snitched on him and shut him down.

7. Ghost Tricks Tommy into Killing His Father (Power)

Tommy grew up with his mom and never knew his father. So you can imagine how he felt when he got the chance to meet his father, Tony. It turns out Tommy hadn't fallen too far from the family tree. His father was a psychopath mobster. He found out that his mom lied about his father dying, and Tony and Tommy began to bond.

When they first met, Tony was in jail for manslaughter and 2nd-degree murder, and Tony made a deal to inform on Tommy and Ghost to get out. However, Tony changed his mind about informing on Tommy after getting to know him. Tony was still planning on informing on Ghost, and Ghost found out. Instead of solving the problem himself, Ghost tricked Tommy into killing his own father. This was a cold-blooded snake move because anybody could have taken out Tony, but Ghost ensured it was Tommy. Also, it was extremely hypocritical of Ghost, who was in love with federal prosecutor Angela Valdez.

6. Kanan Poisons the Block (Raising Kanan)

Kanan has messed many things up by trying to jump into the drug game without knowing what he is doing. One of the worst examples of this stands out because of how deadly and completely unnecessary it was. When Raq's crew was cooking up, Kanan decided to answer a call that nobody had made and try his hand at cooking up.

They tested his batch out at the crackhouse to see if the fiends fucked with it. These human trials would have an unintended effect. Kanan and Marvin quickly realized that Kanan's batch was basically instant death. Kanan caused countless deaths and even accidentally killed Juke's girlfriend with his bad batch. This is never fully addressed afterward, and it's difficult to determine if it's just something everyone wants to forget or if it's just a price of the game. Either way, Kanan killing -people all over New York because of his arrogance is definitely one of the worst things a Power character has done.

5. Tommy Chokes His Pregnant Girlfriend (Power)

In the beginning, it seemed like Tommy and Holly would be the perfect match. Holly even says they were made for each other when she reveals she is a thief after finding out Tommy is a drug dealer. Tasha warned Tommy that Holly was too fast for him. Tommy, of course, didn't listen, and thus they started their Bonnie and Clyde-like relationship. However, Tommy wanted to wife Holly up. He saw Holly as someone who could be his family.

However, this would not be something his already established family would approve of. His mother, Kate, didn't like Holly for calling her out. Tasha wasn't a fan because Holly stole from her, and Ghost didn't like that Tommy was getting distracted by Holly. In the end, it would be Tommy who was too fast for Holly. Lobos tells Tommy that he needs to kill Ghost or Lobos will kill him. Holly tries to save Tommy by having Ghost killed, but when Tommy finds out, he flips and chokes her in a fit of rage. Having your partner die by your own hand would be bad enough on its own. However, it got worse because what Tommy didn't know was that he killed Holly and his unborn child.

4. Tariq Kills His Father (Power)

Tariq killing his father is easily one of the worst things anyone in the Power Universe has ever done. Tariq caused Ghost so many problems, and Ghost never tried to kill Tariq. You could tell he could never conceive of doing his son like that. After a lifetime of death and grinding in the streets, Ghost finally went legitimate and got Power. Who is the hating bottom feeder that killed him? His own son killed him. Despicable.

Also, all of Tariq's problems are Tariq's fault. Ghost didn't put Tariq in the game or tell him to hang out with one of Tasha and Ghost's most dangerous enemies. Tariq did that, and it cost him his sister.

Ghost never wanted Tariq in the game. He gave him every opportunity not to be in that life, but Tariq didn't listen, and then in the end, Tariq took away his father's dream because supposedly Ghost was getting in the way of his future.

3. Kanan Kills Shawn (Power)

Kanan killing Shawn is worst than Tariq killing Ghost. Both are terrible, but when trying to decide which one was worst, I felt like a father killing the child he was supposed to raise and protect was worst. This was cold-blooded for so many reasons. First, Shawn pulled a gun on Ghost, verbally disrespected him, and slept with his wife, but Ghost still loved him enough to let him go. Shawn's actual father, Kanan, killed him in cold blood over verbal disrespect. Kanan's act is easily one of the most ruthless and detestable acts done in Power.

2. Monet Kills Lorenzo and Uses Her Son (Ghost)

Lorenzo killed Monet's son Zeke, but it was an accident. He thought he was shooting Mecca. This doesn't make it okay, but it was an accident. What Monet did to Lorenzo was not an accident. Even though Monet had Frank Castillo killed, Monet convinces Frank Castillo's son that Lorenzo killed his father so that he will kill Lorenzo to avenge his father. Ordering a hit on your husband and father of your kids is bad enough, but what solidifies Monet's place on this list is what she does to Dru.

Gordo is Franks's son, and he is Dru's boyfriend. Monet decides that the best way to cover up her dirt is to frame a local drug dealer and Gordo and have Dru be the one to kill Gordo. So not only does she kill Dru's father, but she uses Dru's boyfriend to do it and then manipulates her own son to kill his boyfriend. Trauma. Monet is one of the most underrated vicious characters in the Power universe.

1. Tasha Kills LaKeisha (Power)

LaKeisha started out as just Tasha's friend. She wasn't built for the drug game and was furious with Tasha when she found out Tasha had used her business to clean drug money. LaKeisha's tune changed when she started dating Tommy. They fell in love, and Lakeisha wanted to be someone Tommy could trust and depend on.

LaKeisha is a mother of a young boy named Cash. Cash, Tommy, and LaKeisha moved out to the suburbs and looked to be starting their own family and getting their happy ending when the feds started pressing LaKeisha. Tommy believed LaKeisha would stay solid, but Tasha wasn't so sure. Once again, Tariq's bullshit ruined someone else's life because Tasha was terrified Lakeisha would get Tariq sent to jail.

In actuality, LaKeisha planned to run away to avoid snitching on Tommy. She only signed the fed's papers so they wouldn't take her son, but she didn't say anything. Tasha couldn't accept this, and she shot LaKeisha once in a struggle and again as she lay on the ground, wounded and begging Tasha not to. Tasha shot and killed her best friend and orphaned LaKeisha's son Cash rather than giving them a chance to run. Tommy was with Cash at the time, picking out an engagement ring for LaKeisha. He and Cash came home to her brains splattered on the floor. She wouldn't be able to testify against him if they had eloped, but that wasn't why he planned to propose to her.

For the third time on this list, the St. Patrick's have destroyed Tommy's family. Because of what LaKeisha meant to Cash, Tommy, and Tasha and how unnecessary it was, this is the worst act by a main character in the Power Universe.
