Stargate - Sobek


In the Stargate franchise they frequently used ancient Egyptian gods as the villains.

Sobek is an ancient Egyptian god that was never used as a villain in the program. In Egyptian art he was frequently portrayed as a man with a crocodiles head, hence the Jaffa armor on the right.

For those who are unfamiliar with the franchise the Jaffa are basically the slaves of the main villains, the Gou'auld.

Their foot soldiers frequently wore body armor that reflected who it was they served.
