Summary

TheMad Maxuniverse has no shortage of incredibly memorable and savagely vile scoundrel that have tried their mitt at ruling the waste . From Toecutter and Aunty Entity to Lord Humungus , Max Rockatansky has face some seriously dangerous enemy , but none of them could oppose the scourge - storey of Immortan Joe - and the beginning behind the villain ’s nickname proves it .

Mad Max : Fury Road - Nux & Immortan Joe(by George Miller , Nico Lathouris , Mark Sexton , Leandro Fernandez , Riccardo Burchielli , and Andrea Mutti ) is the canonical comic book sleeper - in that tells the origin story of the tyrant of the Citadel , Immortan Joe . Before Joe became revered as a god , he was a colonel named Joe Moore , a war hero who fought in the Oil and Water Wars that led up to the apocalypse . He only became a ‘ deity ’ after taking the area that would come to be known as the Citadel in a room that should have been impossible .

Joe Moore and his pack of rough rider launched a three - day siege on the Citadel when they were refuse entry . alas , the on the face of it heavy nature of the Citadel ( which is a mountainous fortress embedded right into the rock formations themselves ) proved too much for them , and every sidereal day , more and more of Moore ’s serviceman died trying to breach it . However , on the third day , Joe Moore himself - after scaling the wall and on the face of it dying fighting for his people - title triumph over the Citadel , thereby establishing the bon ton rooter were preface to inMad Max : Fury Road .

Joe Moore the Man Became Immortan Joe the God After His Victory at the Citadel

When Joe Moore come out victorious after three days of no one sense of hearing from him , all while practically every one of his fellow warriors died fighting the Citadel ’s force , his tarradiddle became legend . It was believe thatJoe Moore did die during that time , and was born-again as the immortal god Immortan Joe . Obviously , Joe perpetuated these rumour while rebuild the Citadel as a unexampled society so as to more well become its potentate . hoi polloi could reverse a tyrant , but no one would make bold seek to seize a deity .

While Immortan Joe ’s decision to present himself as a god was a smart as a whip move that kept him in a place of unchallenged power , it ’s really the man he was before , Joe Moore , that confirms why he ’s the best unhinged Max villain .

Joe Moore was n’t just some nobody in the world before the Revelation of Saint John the Divine who reached his full potential in a post - apocalyptic existence . Joe was a colonel and a war submarine during an age in human history where citizenry were brutally fight back each other over things like oil and water - meaning there were no passive choice to fighting , only selection of the fit . Joe Moore had seen the worst of what humankind had to declare oneself before society completely crumbled , piss him more than equipped to lead a Modern society in a ruthlessly proficient and shockingly savage agency .

Immortan Joe is the One Villain Even Mad Max Himself Couldn’t Beat

Immortan Joe was killed by Furiosa inMad Max: Fury Road, not Max.

In the previousMad Maxfilms , the titular supporter is always successful in stopping the villain . Whether that think of Max obliterate them instantly ( like he did with Lord Humungus and Toecutter ) or helps them earn their lost humanity ( like with Aunty Entity ) . Either way , it was always Max who stopped the villain , but inMad Max : Fury Road , it does n’t seem as though he ’s up for the chore . Max was subdued by Immortan Joe ’s War Boys powerful at the start of the plastic film ( doubly ) . Then , when the prison term finally came to put an end to Immortan Joe ’s villainy once and for all , it was Furiosa who pull the trigger .

Max ’s inability to kill Immortan Joe only highlight how dangerous he is as a Mad Max baddie .

All things debate , Immortan Joe is an intriguing , multi - superimposed part with a badass stemma story and a grotesquely cruel portrayal as the main baddie inMad Max : Fury Road . His reign began when he come “ back from death itself ” following his triumph at the Citadel , and ended when Furiosa ( not Max ) kill him on the Fury Road , While the origin of his cognomen confirms why he ’s such a great antagonist , practically every panorama of Immortan Joe contributes to that view , making him easily the in effect villain in theMad Maxfranchise .
