History CardCarryingVillain / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/BunsenIsABeast'''s Amanda Killman.
* While, contrary to popular belief, ''[[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Captain Planet]]'''s villains generally ''did'' have some kind of discernible motive (usually raw profit at the cost of the environment), causing damage to the planet for its own sake sometimes seemed to [[{{Flanderization}} take a life of its own and supersede anything else]]. In particular, villains such as Verminous Skumm, Dr. Blight on a bad day, and the evil spirit Zarm tended toward the "Corruption/Destruction for its own sake" end of the scale since they were just completely evil and insane.

* You can tell that [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Doc Ock]] has fully become one by the mug he drinks out of that has "Evil Genius" written on it.

* Several in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.

* Three out of four characters in the main cast of ''[[WesternAnimation/VillainousCartoonNetwork Villainous]]'', that being [[EvilGenius Flug,]] [[HeroKiller Demencia,]] and [[BigBad Black Hat]]. The entire show is about the three of them running Black Hat Inc., selling evil goods and services to fellow villains, both in their dimension and across the [[SharedUniverse Cartoon Network universe,]] that allow anyone who's willing to pay [[DealWithTheDevil (and sign away their soul to Black Hat)]] to kill those pesky heroes. The only non-evil member of the team is 5.0.5., a giant genetically-engineered bear created by Flug who is referred to as a "happy accident"; he's a BearyFriendly GentleGiant and would never intentionally do harm to anyone or anything. They keep him around because [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Flug dotes on him like a loving father]] and Black Hat likes to treat him as TheChewToy, since he has a HealingFactor that keeps him immortal.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' is full of these guys. Mojo Jojo is the most notable. Subverted when he actually manages to take over the world, and turns out to be a benevolent ruler who makes the world a much nicer place to live. Double subverted when he quickly realizes that VictoryIsBoring, so he gives up his power and returns to causing mayhem purely for the fun of it.

** The ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' version of Doctor Robotnik, ...his "pretend to be good when it's practical" moments are a bit longer and more pronounced. However, he's inclined to boast about his evilness as though it was something to be proud of, especially when in the company of those he believes are similarly evil and cruel.

* Azula from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' embraces the rest of the world's view that she's evil. She even calls herself a monster in the later episodes, but that's actually her way of coping with the self-loathing brought on by those beliefs.

* Gargamel of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' is seen singing about his evilness in a couple episodes such as "Sassette". In addition, in "Gargamel the Generous" when he was pretending to be nice, he stated that he hated the feeling of being nice. In "Heavenly Smurfs", when the Smurfs trick him into thinking he has to be nice to them to avoid going to Hell, after Gargamel thinks he has returned from the afterlife, he says "Thank bad, I mean good". In the Smurfs Christmas special, he says that he hates Christmas because of the happiness people feel from it.

* King K. Rool in the [[WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry animated adaptation]] of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' is as proudly fiendish as they come. His part in the VillainSong “Be Bad” mentions many of his evil deeds, from lying, cheating and stealing to [[EvilIsPetty never tipping, butting in line, and never washing the dishes]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Every SINGLE villain in the series is a card-carrying villain belonging to the aptly-named Guild of Calamitous Intent. Which, ironically, is depicted as having an important [[EvenEvilHasStandards honor code]] and being an accepted facet of society. The protagonist, however, is a [[SociopathicHero complete and total asshole.]]

* A bit of a ''plot point'' in the ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' episode "Phantoms". Phantom Zone escapee Drax hears the voices of his still-imprisoned parents in his head, constantly reminding him that he's ''evil'' and always will be. Supervillains really do make AbusiveParents.

** Downplayed: Farnsworth doesn't exactly think of himself as evil, but he readily admits to being insane and amoral.

* ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'': In the short "Thatta Boy", Ravenrany complains that he shouldn't have to obey traffic laws because he's a supervillain.

-->-- '''Mrs Robinson''',''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''

* Derek Powers/Blight from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' seemed to take some pride in being a CorruptCorporateExecutive. This exchange from the 1st season finale "Ascension" says it all:

'''Batman:''' (''dramatically enters the scene'') YouKilledMyFather.\\
(''{{beat}}'')\\
'''Blight:''' (''irritated'') [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Do you have the]] ''[[ButForMeItWasTuesday slightest]]'' [[ButForMeItWasTuesday idea how]] ''[[ButForMeItWasTuesday little]]'' [[ButForMeItWasTuesday that narrows it down]]?

* In ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'', the BigBad is named Prime Evil. Seriously, when a villain has the word "evil" ''in his name'', I'd say he qualifies.

** Let's not even start on Plankton.

* Both played for laughs and deconstructed by ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''. The evil organization F.O.W.L. was founded by a villain who strongly believed in PragmaticVillainy, wanting only to use subtle influence to rule the world from the shadows rather than take it over in ridiculous schemes. Unfortunately, almost every villain they recruited after the founding are this trope, resulting in the founder's endless annoyance at how his underlings will throw caution to the wind in order to be as theatric and evil as possible. Just to give an example, the organization was originally just called the Organization for World Larceny, or O.W.L., but their first recruit refused to join until they added Fiendish to the name.

*** Weirdly, Chrysalis and Tirek in their debuts [[{{Flanderization}} weren't]] so much card-carriers as they were merely characterized as [[self-centered, wannabe-conquerers who were driven by obtaining power (as was Tirek's original goal). This could be attributed due to [[DependingOnTheWriter the changes in the writing staff]] over the course of the show's nine-year run.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': The show focuses on DC supervillains with organizations like the Legion of Doom serving as a way to become a literal card-carrying villain. Poison Ivy's annoyance at being labeled a villain and preference for "Ecoterrorist" makes her [[WEllIntentionedExtremist stand out]] in comparison.
