(#1) Blair Waldorf
- Gossip Girl
Blair may not have originated in the character archetype, but she certainly came to define it in a post-Gossip Girl world. This HBIC doesn't just have her perfectly manicured claws dug into her private school's power structure, she also has a firm grip on all of the Upper East Side, nay, Manhattan. Who else could banish a girl, Little Jenny Humphrey, from an entire city?
Ruling a high school? Your average, run-of-the-mill HBIC can do that in her sleep. Blair takes this whole deal to another level. She's a literal 'Queen' B. When any other mean girls can claim to run a city, then maybe Blair will watch the throne, but, until then, Manhattan is Blair's to run, and nobody had better cross her.

(#8) Cordelia Chase
- Angel
Sassy, and petty, and snarky, oh my! The moment you saw Cordelia hitting the hallways of Sunnydale High, you knew she was in charge. Buffy may have been the once-in-a-gernation-Chosen-One completely adept at dealing with demons, but you can't stake a betchy head cheerleader. You've got to try and out maneuver her with harsh words and ice-cold teen girl games. And that’s maybe scarier than any Vampire.
Cordelia was so betchy that she managed to create an entire alternative universe purely from the power of her betching out Buffy.
-
(#5) Santana Lopez
- Glee
Sure, Glee was on a deep, deep sliding scale of quality ever since its pilot aired, but the one constant, the only thing that kept a strong subset of the internet watching, was Santana Lopez. As bad as Glee got, her character went from strong to stronger.
The comebacks, the putdowns, the threats of violence... All of these pushed her ahead of anyone else in the glee club in contention for title of HBIC. No one else brought the betchery quite like Santana.

(#7) Mona Vanderwaal
- Pretty Little Liars
When HBICs cross over into sociopathic territory, that's when they really light up a screen. Mona is also one of the more compelling stories of high school ascension. Miss Vanderwaal started her scholastic career on the bottom of the hierarchy. Bespectacled and sweater-vested, who knew she was hiding the manipulative machinations that would lead her to be an expert tormenter and even better betch underneath the aesthetics of unpopularity?
Forget Cece, what Mona was pulling before Cece was even a glimmer in the eye of the PLL's writers' room, was grade-A tormenting. And did she do it in style! That's a real TV mean girl, the ability to enact borderline psychotic behavior and look good while doing it.
-
(#9) Georgina Sparks
- Gossip Girl
When it comes to causing chaos on the Upper East Side, Georgina Sparks very nearly disrupts Blair's near perfect reign. While Blair ensures her queendom goes uncontested, Georgina lives to cause drama. Some HBICs just want to watch the world burn.
She's a good-time girl gone horribly bad. She takes names and slays lesser betches. You wouldn't want to get in this mean girl's way. It took NYC's Queen B (not Beyonce unfortunately) to bring her down. By calling her parents no less.
-
(#11) Paris Geller
- Gilmore Girls
Paris comes from the school of your Tracy Flick-type HBIC. She rules every school and college she attends with not just betchery but also academic excellence. And that is one powerful concoction to ensure that your place at the top of the school food chain remains unchallenged.
Whether Paris was telling someone to "Tie [their] tubes, idiot!" so the continuation of genes riddled with stupidity would be immediately halted, or menacingly hissing Shakespeare sonnets at Rory as some weird form of intimidation, Paris was always top of the heap.
