**General Mandible** (simply known as **Mandible**) is the main antagonist of DreamWorks' 1st full-length animated feature film *Antz*.

He was voiced by Gene Hackman.

## His Brilliance and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him Amazing?

* He claims his goal is for the good of the colony and to end all weak elements (aka the worker ants and queen), but this is a lie since it would not work as well as a real ant colony without workers. While Mandible is a mere liar, he is still quite manipulative. Despite his manipulative nature, the fact that he doesn't care for killing the soldier ants that aren't loyal to him shows his motive is a selfish one.
	+ He even calls himself the colony when trying to kill Cutter.
* His desire to marry Bala is seemingly sincere at first, but in truth, it is purely lust and so he can create his own offspring of strong ants. This is evident when he locks her up in his office so that she wouldn't stop him.
* He enjoys orchestrating strategic plans.
* His speeches to the soldier ants are very well-done with high confidence and he was a good leader at first. He was also a professional orator.

### What Makes Him Heinous?

* He sent all of the soldier ants that were loyal to the queen to die in a suicidal war against the termites, with Z being the only survivor. The termites themselves are also shown to have been all massacred.
* He attempted to have Z arrested after dancing with Princess Bala, and also because Z survived the earlier massacre.
* He had Z's best friend, Weaver, beaten for information on his whereabouts and has Azteca tortured by his men to get the info, promising he wouldn't kill Z but later goes back on his promise upon receiving the information. He then sends Weaver back to working in the tunnels (which he was already doing when he switched places with Z), merely so he would also drown.
* He attempted to destroy the anthill and kill all the worker ants by drowning them.
	+ The flood would also drown the larvae, which are the literal babies of the colony, and given that none of his soldiers took any with them, he didn't even care to check which of them are soldier material (likely planning to start anew).
	+ Even more damningly, the flood would've also drowned the queen, who is not only his and the rest of the colony's mother, but is also their only guaranteed source of recovery in the event of an apocalyptic event such as their home drowning, making him also accountable for attempted Regicide and Matricide.
* When Z attempted to reason with him by saying that he is part of the colony, he refused to consider his actions and attempted to kill him before Cutter stops him.
* He attempted to kill Colonel Cutter after the latter betrayed him for the right reasons, resulting in his own demise.
