The worst emperors were not the child rulers. They were shoved into power by people and were really only figureheads. There is not a single emperor that was the worst but my opinion was that Michael VII was one of the worst.

Commodus was the worst Roman emperor. He fancied himself as a gladiator and fought in the arena. He always won because the gladiators let him and he spared their lives. However, he killed his sparring partners in practice when he won. He bound people who had lost their feet and then clubbed them to death .He also killed with a sword injured soldiers and amputees. He fought against animals in the arena. He decapitated an ostrich and carried its head to the section where senators sat and signalled to them they were going to be the next ones. He killed a giraffe, even though this animal was considered harmless and not worthy to fight against.
