Which of the listed villains would you most wish had survived for a subsequent adventure?

Belloq...he just seemed to have more of a history with Jones.

Belloq, clearly. He's the one really suited to being a recurring nemesis; the others are mostly closely tied to the specific adventures or locales in which Indy encounters them, and few really darkly mirror Indy so well as Belloq himself observes he does. Note, too, that Raiders itself indicates they've known one another for a while and crossed paths before; the adventures around the Chachapoyan Idol and the Ark of the Covenant are just two of presumably many times they've competed in the field. As we now know, an episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was even planned that would show the beginning of their "relationship" in the early 1920s.

I would like to see Mola Ram return.
He is the most evil of the villians, and his life ended so anti-climatic. We have Belloq's head exploding, Donovon withers away, and Spalko's brain fries, but poor Mola Ram just falls off a cliff and gets ate by crocs.

Belloq, he seems like the one that could be the easiest to forgive

Belloq, naturally. He seemed to have the most potential for having more than a single dimension.

I made a thread similar to this a while ago, but it didn't have KotCS characters, obviously.

Gotta save Mola Ram. Only for the sake of the alligators. If they'd have eaten him they would have been poisoned by the paint on his head.

Very unfair on them.

Definitely Belloq. A lot more could have been done with him than the others in the way of character development.

I voted Irina. I would like to see more of her fencing and so called "telepathic abilities". Plus, she is sexy. IMO, Belloq and Donovan are just boring, they are just rich people without any "special" abilities.

I agree. I wish they would do some earlier stories (books/comics/etc..) with Belloq and Indy.

Belloq all the way. You get him a little buzzed and he's a decent guy.

I chose Spalko.

Mola Ram is completely brain washed to change heart
Donovan and Belloq are too up their asses that they would back stab indy the first chance they would get.

But I reckon Spalko would have realised that having too much knowledge can kill. Also she would not be a back stabber because of her military beliefs in fair play and honesty.
