Sarah Kerrigan, StarCraft And StarCraft: Brood War

Sarah Kerrigan was born a very gifted human with psychic powers who is trained to become a ruthless Terran Ghost warrior. Unfortunately, she is betrayed by Terran rebel leader Arcturus Mengsk and left for dead during a battle with the Zerg, an enemy alien race. Instead of killing her, they harness her psychic powers and turn her into a Zerg warrior, also known as Queen of Blades. Kerrigan is without a doubt one of the most fascinatingly complex and memorable characters of all time.
Pros: She's got unbelievable psionic abilities and probably the most powerful woman in the universe.
Cons: She's got a crazy Medusa-like hairdo with scary skeletal wings. Plus, she's the self-described "queen bitch of the universe."
Should be Played By: A tough call, but I'm going with "Casino Royale's" Eva Green, who can pull off sexy, sinister and sympathetic all at once.
