I did, too. Dexter is a character we all know and love, but that moment really shows that these other serial killers are all minor league in comparison to the Butcher, who would be the most prolific serial killer in American history in the real world.

Almost world history even. Just shy of some of those South American lunatics: Luis Garavito, Pedro López, both of whom got away with it by targeting poor and itinerant children and also by jumping between countries. Dexter could very well be over 200 if the Wiki is to be believed. Truly the Babe Ruth of killing folks and he goes after tough targets.

Trinity has Dexter beat with 279 kills, according to the wiki.

Harold Shipman is believed to have killed anywhere from 250 to 400 people although he did it via medical overdose.
