Donald Pierce is the secondary antagonist of the 2017 film Logan, the tenth installment of 20th Century Studios' X-Men film series.
In his characterisation, he is the field commander of the Reavers and the right-hand man of Dr. Zander Rice who aids the latter attempting to capture the escaped test subjects of the Transigen Project - including Laura.
He was portrayed by Boyd Holbrook, who also played Klaber in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General[]
- He is an egotistical, sadistic, thuggish, greedy and xenophobic jerk who only cares about getting the job he is tasked with done and enjoying himself in the process.
- Although he does claim to be a fan of Wolverine, he still attempts to kill him multiple times. If anything, he may actually be a fan of how Wolverine often violently kills his enemies, which makes sense considering his sadism.
- He is also hypocritical in some aspects, as he describes the way Logan killed the thugs at the beginning of Logan to be quite brutal, even though he himself is not innocent in such regards.
- While he seems to get along with Rice, with Rice even calling him his "friend" while facing Wolverine, it's likely that their friendship isn't genuine as Pierce shows no concern or sadness after Logan shoots him dead.
- Overall, Pierce is shown to get deep enjoyment out of his crimes, so it's clear that he's not just following orders.
In the Past[]
- He helped Dr. Zander Rice drive mutants to extinction by using genetically-engineered food products that eradicated the X-gene.
- Hunted down any mutant survivors for their raw material.
- Under Rice's orders, he kidnapped several Mexican girls and forcibly impregnated them with mutant embryos for the X-23 project, killing them after they gave birth. He abused the mutant children emotionally, with one of them committing suicide just to escape. He then capped all of that off by trying to kill the kids once the company didn't need them anymore.
Logan[]
- He blackmailed Logan by telling him that he knew about Charles all in an attempt to make Logan spill out the beans about Gabriela and Laura. In addition to this, he insultingly called Wolverine a junkie, even though he just bought some medicine to help Charles.
- He shot Gabriela to death in her motel room, where her corpse and phone were found by Logan.
- Once he meets Charles Xavier personally, he mockingly states his age.
- When Laura walks outside and flings a Reaver's decapitated head at Pierce's feet, he reacts with indifference and actually kinda smirks at it, showing that he doesn't even care about his own men.
- He killed a gas station worker, whose corpse is seen back at Transigen alongside Caliban's.
- He tortures Caliban via sunlight exposure so he'd track down Laura.
- He almost has his men killed Charles Xavier inside the Casino Hotel which indirectly caused Charles to have a seizure endangering everyone around them, including himself.
- In Eden, he sadistically tells Rictor to take his last breaths when capturing him.
- He mocks Wolverine after the serum starts to wear off, and gloatfully calls Rice the genius who wiped out mutants in the first place.
- He unleashes X-24 to have him kill Logan, which the former succeeds in doing so. He additionally fires a harpoon at Logan and intend on driving him through the woods so that the Mutant kids didn’t find him.
Deadpool & Wolverine[]
- His actions which lead to the death of Wolverine from Earth-10005, caused the rogue TVA Agent Paradox to start to build a Time Ripper on that world, kicking off the events of the entire film which leads to Cassandra Nova almost destroying not only Earth-10005, but also the entire Multiverse as well which was only stopped by Deadpool and and alternate variant of Wolverine teaming up.
Trivia[]
- Donald Pierce, along with Dr. Zander Rice and Vuk, was one of the final three X-Men film series villains to be Pure Evil.
