History BigBad / Webcomics

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has The Other, a strange being that almost wiped out Europe in the past and starts regaining power a while after the comic starts. When we first hear of them, their identity is unknown, but over the course of the comic we learn that they are [[spoiler:Lucrezia Mongfish, aka the [[EvilMatriarch mother of our heroine]] Agatha]]. The Other is also shown to have been behind all sorts of evil in history via their ability to possess different bodies, such as the [[spoiler:destruction of an ancient civilization]] and killing Agatha's siblings shortly after her birth.

* Count Chocula [[{{Mascot}} (yes, that one)]] of ''WebComic/BreakfastOfTheGods'', who wants to plunge the kingdom of Cerealia into eternal night.
* Zenith of ''WebComic/CommanderKitty'' is [[MixAndMatchCritters part fox, part rabbit, part cat]], and ''all'' perfect. She's so perfect, in fact, that [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/07/04/nothing-like-a-good-rant/ her ultimate plan is to create for herself the perfect mate and take over the galaxy with her perfect children.]] [[spoiler: Actually, she's [[TeenGenius Ulysses J. Fortiscue]]'s [[RobotGirl robot assistant]], gone slightly overboard with her directive to "eliminate all life's little imperfections." Once she's [[HeelFaceBrainwashing rebooted in Safe Mode]], she's ''much'' more interested in fashion design than galactic conquest.]]

* Zoso the evil spirit from ''WebComic/TheDwarfsTheSpiritAndTheSorceress'', who puts an awful curse on one of the dwarf and is worshipped by the dwarves's enemies the Goblins.

* In ''Webcomic/HeartCore'' we have Royce Lashiec, Lord of [[{{Hell}} Asgar]], [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils mightiest of demons]], [[AbusiveParents horrible parent]] and [[OmnicidalManiac the bane of the entire Beastman species.]]
%% * Director Deena Daniels of B.E.N.T. is the Big Bad of ''Webcomic/{{Hexenringe}}''. Her design is based on Mama Fratelli from ''Characters/{{The Goonies}}''.

%% * ''Webcomic/TheLawOfPurple'': Silver, Lord of Caligula.

%% * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
%% ** Lord Xykon.

* We have not one, but [[BigBadDuumvirate two]] in ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure''. [[TheEmperor Brian]] and [[DarkMessiah Angelo]], who not only work together but are a [[UnholyMatrimony married couple.]]
* ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' had Mobster Kingpin, who was set up to be the game's FinalBoss from the start. The heroes spent ''more than half of the game'' fighting him.

%% * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has The Other, a strange being that almost wiped out Europe in the past and starts regaining power a while after the comic starts.

* In the {{Manhua}} webcomic ''[[https://tapas.io/series/myguardianangel My Guardian Angel]]'', the BigBad appears to be [[spoiler: Yeh Xiaohan's [[note]]Yuki in the English adaptation[[/note]] father]], a [[VengefulGhost malevolent ghost]] [[SoulEating obsessed with devouring his daughter's soul]] who sought to become a powerful wicked spirit by consuming other ghosts. Lin Xiaoyou [[note]]Matilda "Mattie" Lin[[/note]] was a ghost who got away, preventing his becoming a true wicked spirit, and he needs her to complete his apotheosis. [[spoiler: However, the true Big Bad is [[FalseFriend Wang Quanzhen]] [[note]]Kyle[[/note]], who's using Xiaohan's father because he believes that he can use the power of a wicked spirit to send his deceased girlfriend, herself a wicked spirit, [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence to the afterlife]]. He was responsible for releasing Mr. Yeh after Xiaohan bound him before the events of the story and allowed the specter to possess him in order to strike at Xiaohan. When his plan to use Mr. Yeh falls apart, Quanzhen attempts to turn Xiaoyou into a wicked spirit to use her power instead.]]

* In ''Webcomic/BladeOfToshubi'', both the Feline Emperor and [[TheDragon Advisor Toh]] count.

* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' had a new big bad each year, though Dr. Wily would always come up and Bob stayed consistent.

*** Bob could be considered the Big Bad too.

** Year Five: Non-Alternative Mynd (though Bob comes in a close second)

* In ''Webcomic/CunningFire'' Bahram is the main antagonist.
* It changes with a bunch of reveals in ''Webcomic/DivineBells''. [[spoiler: At first, it appears to be the emperor of Dae-hyun. Now it seems to be Baek-Yeom.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'': [[TheChessmaster Snadhya'rune]].

* Probably Lord Tedd in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''.
** Or that universe's Shade Tail.
** Formerly Daimen.
** Abraham is a [[PunchClockVillain punch clock]] example.
** Pandora "Chaos" Raven was considered to be it for a while.
** Voltaire is the current active antagonist.
* Presumably N'Grall in ''Webcomic/ElvenLacryment''.

* While it's not quite a certainty yet, a true Big Bad seems to finally be shaping up in ''{{Webcomic/Erfworld}}'': [[spoiler:it's probably Charlie]]. [[http://www.erfworld.com/book-2-archive/?px=%2F2012-09-19.jpg This page]] (WARNING: MASSIVE SPOILERS) certainly goes all-out with the {{Shout Out}}s to drive the idea home.
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has The Other, a strange being that almost wiped out Europe in the past and starts regaining power a while after the comic starts.

* In ''Webcomic/HolidayWars'', the EasterBunny is the Big Bad.

* ''Webcomic/TheLawOfPurple'': Silver, Lord of Caligula.

* Most likely Aelloon in ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup''.
** [[spoiler: Recently revealed to be Tavor.]]
*** [[spoiler: And then Aellon took the throne when Tavor was killed, putting him back in Big Bad position.]]
* ''Webcomic/LovelyLovecraft'': [[spoiler:Noyes, AKA Nyarlathotep]] is quickly shaping up to become the webcomic's BigBad.
* In the Nomura Syndrome story arc of ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'', Creator/{{Gackt}} is the Big Bad. [[spoiler: Hired by [[GreaterScopeVillain Commander Badass's superiors]] to bishify him so they can market new merchandise.]]
* Cancer Man in ''Webcomic/MonsterOfTheWeek''. His true name is unknown - author called him Cancer Man because he smokes in his every appearance.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Lord Xykon.
** Though the comic also features Redcloak (a [[TheDragon Dragon]] who is in some ways [[HyperCompetentSidekick even more dangerous than his boss]]), the Dark One (a goblin god whom Redcloak serves), The Snarl (an EldritchAbomination that hasn't done anything yet but could destroy the universe if released), Tarquin (the MagnificentBastard EvilOverlord who's also a main character's father), the Interfiend Co-operation Committee (a trio of fiendish Chessmasters who are playing everybody else more or less) and Hel (a goddess seeking world domination) -- so there's definitely more than a bit of a BigBadEnsemble going on rather than ''just'' Xykon. As he's arguably the most powerful non-divine villain in the comic and is the most central single villain to the plot, he'd still qualify as ''the'' Big Bad, barring a (not entirely impossible) future upset.
** Recent developments as of #830 indicate this might be [[spoiler: more of a BigBadDuumvirate between Xykon and Redcloak, with each thinking they control the other.]]

* Metheos counts as this in ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}''.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Hereti Corp and K'Z'K constantly take turns being the overall Big Bad of the comic. Other examples (mainly for mini arcs) include vampire queen Lysinda, demon general Lord Horribus, corrupt nobleman Sir John Jacobs, and a totalitarian dictator known only as "His Masterness".
** Though His Masterness turned out to be a subversion. [[spoiler: It was originally Alt Doctor Shlock keeping the people of 4U city in drugged stasis while he repairs the damage caused to the Dimension by his irresponsible portal abuse, then the role was assumed by Alt Riff who continued the job after Shlock's death, and then by a computer Riff left in charge of the city, while he devoted all his energies to saving the world, that ended up going rogue]].

* In ''{{Webcomic/Stomp}}'', there is definitely one of these lurking behind the scenes. Their identity is currently unknown.
* The Witch on ''Webcomic/TheWitchsThrone''.
* Xaneth of ''Webcomic/TrueVillains'', being one of the main characters and leader of a villainous band, seems to be this as of now.

* Fred from ''Webcomic/WhatsShakin'' is the reoccurring Big Bad.
* Xaos from ''Webcomic/TheWotch'' might be a Big Bad [[OrcusOnHisThrone if he ever]] [[PutOnABus gets around to doing it]]
* The Black Hat Man in Webcomic/{{xkcd}}

* In the {{Manhua}} webcomic ''[[https://tapas.io/series/myguardianangel My Guardian Angel]]'', the BigBad appears to be Yeh Xiaohan's [[note]]Yuki in the English adaptation[[/note]] father, a [[VengefulGhost malevolent ghost]] [[SoulEating obsessed with devouring his daughter's soul]] who sought to become a powerful wicked spirit by consuming other ghosts. Lin Xiaoyou [[note]]Matilda "Mattie" Lin[[/note]] was a ghost who got away, preventing his becoming a true wicked spirit, and he needs her to complete his apotheosis.

When his plan to use Mr. Yeh falls apart, Quanzhen attempts to turn Xiaoyou into a wicked spirit to use her power instead.]]

** Pandora "Chaos" Raven is probably the best current candidate.
*** [[ScheduleSlip Not]] [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome that]] [[KudzuPlot you]] [[SpotlightStealingSquad need to]] [[DemotedToExtra worry overmuch]].

* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': Sarda
** And let's just stop saying that the Light Warriors, either individually or as a group, are Big Bads, because they're not - they're working for Sarda and he is the Big Bad.

* The ultimate antagonist of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is Lord English, assisted by his [[TheDragon Dragons]] Doc Scratch and Her Imperious Condescension and with various Jack Noirs as competing villains. He acts as the GreaterScopeVillain for a good chunk of it while the other antagonists also compete for top spot.

* The BigBad of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is Lord English, assisted by his [[TheDragon Dragons]] Doc Scratch and Her Imperious Condescension and with various Jack Noirs as TheStarscream. This is complicated somewhat by Lord English's very existence being a StableTimeLoop, with many of the protagonists contributing in some way to his existence [[NiceJobBreakingItHero without realizing it]].
