Megabyte embodies Greed, Pride, Envy and Ambition, appears [[Franchise/StarTrek borg-like]], often initiates plots and comes dangerously close to succeeding fairly often.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' has [[OriginalMan Adam]], who embodies Pride and Lust, with a dash of Wrath in there as well. He arrogantly views himself as better than everyone due to being the first man, needlessly sexualizes women and gleefully slaughters human sinners every year. His design while in-costume looks more demonic even than the actual demons, but his true appearance under that is an ordinary human man, fitting for his status as the original template for all who would come after him and differentiating him from the more visually distinct protagonists. He contrasts with main protagonist Charlie in many ways, as Charlie is a kind soul who believes even the worst of humanity can change, while Adam is a cruel bastard who thinks sinners are lost causes and deserve to be slaughtered ''en masse''. In the season finale, he has a dramatic final battle with not only Alastor, but also Charlie and Lucifer, and eventually [[spoiler:finds himself killed by Niffty, a woman who acts as the Hotel's housekeeper]].

Thankfully, she's a frequent target of LaserGuidedKarma; if she's not found out and punished by the grown-ups, she'll often end up [[BelievingTheirOwnLies believing her own lies]] or subject to an ironic humiliation.

* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
*** Fire Lord Ozai. Pride and Ambition. Gleefully contributed to the project of his father and grandfather to TakeOverTheWorld, switching in the GrandFinale to OmnicidalManiac and AGodAmI to further eliminate all hope in the heart of those who resist him. Through he doesn't face TheHero Aang directly until the GrandFinale, he's the main reason why the {{Deuteragonist}}, Zuko, stays so messed up for most of the series. As a SocialDarwinist EvilOverlord who chose KickTheDog as a hobby, he's the direct opposite of Aang, which shows in their final confrontation, [[spoiler:where [[EvilCannotComprehendGood even in defeat, he doesn't understand]] why Aang [[ThouShaltNotKill spared his life]]. ]]
*** Ozai's daughter Azula is motivated by Pride and Ambition, as well as a generous helping of psychotic madness.
*** Zhao displays copious amounts of Pride and Ambition, which ultimately cause his downfall. His short temper and scorn towards Zuko add Wrath and Envy, and as a middle-aged man with striking sideburns, he's definitely visually distinctive from his opponents, all in their teens.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
*** [[EvilUncle Unalaq]]: Ambition, Pride and Envy.
*** [[MagnificentBastard Varrick]]: Ambition and Greed
*** [[KnightTemplar Kuvira]]: Ambition, Pride and Wrath
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': Derek Powers, crooked CEO turned radioactive monster, stands as a foil to juvenile delinquent turned SuperHero Terry Mcginnis. He is driven by Wrath, Greed, Pride, and ruthless ambition, stopping at utterly nothing to destroy or use anyone in his drive his company as the biggest force in Gotham. His transformation into Blight is especially ironic, with his glowing skeleton showing the monster he hides behind his friendly veneer. When Terry finally confronts him [[YouKilledMyFather for killing his dad]], Blight is unrepentant to the very end, casually quipping, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"]], and afterwards presumably perishes.
* A few examples from ''WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017''.
** The Bishop represents Ambition and Pride. He's a self-righteous older man who hides behind the church he supposedly serves to burn away whatever he sees as sinful while advancing his position.
** Carmilla represents Ambition, Greed and Wrath. A former sex slave turned FemmeFatale who wants to conquer the world after internalizing all the horrible things that have happened to her.
** Death represents Pride and Gluttony. An ancient elemental sprit that feeds on the souls of the dead. Death manipulates and uses everyone around him to achieve his ends, all the while carrying an air of arrogance.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Father, the [[AbusiveParents depraved patriarch]] to the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, is the most recurring BigBad of the series, representing Wrath and Pride with helpful doses of Sloth. A ChildHater to the extreme and [[HairTriggerTemper explosive]], [[AxCrazy psychotic]], [[SmugSnake condescending]], [[TheSociopath sociopathic]], and shamelessly {{sadist}}ic, he starkly contrasts with the Kids Next Door by being ObviouslyEvil from head to toe, having a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, booming voice]], being [[LeanAndMean tall and thin]], [[EvilWearsBlack wearing a shadow suit]], wielding [[EvilIsBurningHot pyrokinesis]], and possessing [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness sinister yellow eyes]]. Every EvilPlan of his is created for his children and [[TeensAreMonsters teen armies]] to follow, with destroying the KND as the end goal. Despite his cunning and fearsome appearance, he is constantly thwarted by the KND because he fails to consider how dangerous they are and on multiple occasions, [[PsychopathicManchild ironically proves to be no more mature than them]].
** Grandfather, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/OperationZERO'', represents Ambition and Pride and is the reason [[GenerationXerox how Father came to be]]. He has Father's default appearance and traits, but with a DevilishHairHorns that resembles HornsOfVillainy and a skinnier physique, making him resemble {{Satan}} himself. Upon regaining his demonic powers, he [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil plunges the world into his own dystopian hellhole]] by turning both the adults and the KND into senior citizombies and desires to destroy the Book of KND to make sure his reign goes unopposed. His own pride is what gets him thwarted by his own son who opposed him, Monty Uno/Numbuh Zero, twice: the first time in the prologue, and the second time by being LuredIntoATrap set up by him to decommission him again as his HeroicSacrifice.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has Vlad Plasmius, guilty of Lust and Envy. He's Jack Fenton's EvilFormerFriend who was victim to the same FreakLabAccident that gave Danny Fenton his ghost powers, and as such has a good 20 years of experience with those same abilities. The two share a few NotSoDifferentRemark moments, but ultimately, Danny fights for the greater good while Vlad acts only for himself; even he VillainousCrush on Maddie Fenton is shown to be more about having her as a LustObject than anything meaningful. What's BeneathTheMask becomes clear in the GrandFinale, and as a result everyone, even his old friends, turn their backs on him.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''
** The BullyBulldog from the one-shot ''WesternAnimation/ChowHound'' embodies Gluttony through and through; he has a cat and a mouse forcibly involved in a complex scheme to get as much steak as possible. When he finally gets to eat his fill, he winds up immobilized and pained from the resulting obesity... just in time for the cat and mouse to "make up" for always forgetting the gravy.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Nightmare Moon, the Mr. Hyde like alter-ego of night goddess, Princess Luna. Consumed with Envy and Wrath over people enjoying the day but sleeping during her beautiful night, she went OmnicidalManiac mode on Equestria, attempting to plunge it into TheNightThatNeverEnds.
** Queen Chrysalis favors Pride with generous helpings of Ambition and Lust. A shapeshifting alien queen/succubus, she is determined to rule Equestria and make its inhabitants cattle to her race, the Changelings.
** [[SatanicArchetype Tirek]]: Greed and Wrath. Tirek sees all magic as his to take, claiming that it should have been his long ago. Also, he still holds a serious grudge against his brother for betraying him to the princesses and trying to stop his conquest of Equestria.

* Aku, the ArchEnemy of WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack, is an all-powerful demon MadeOfEvil who embodies Pride, Wrath, and Sloth. He's the polar opposite of Jack in every way, such as appearance (being a giant demon with pitch-black flesh whereas Jack is a human being clad in white robes), personality (arrogant where Jack is humble, cruel where Jack is compassionate, hammy where Jack is stoic, and when the chips are down, cowardly where Jack is courageous), and abilities (Aku practically WonTheSuperpowerLottery while Jack is a lone {{samurai}} with an enchanted sword). Having flung the samurai into TheFuture as a last-ditch effort in their initial clash, [[CrapsackWorld Aku spreads despair]] [[VillainWorld and corruption unopposed]], due to Jack wielding the only weapon that can harm him. Throughout the series, Aku seeks to destroy Jack once and for all, but since he cannot confront him directly, he relies on trickery and deals to accomplish this. Thing is, being pure evil means he's practically compelled to be double-crossing and cruel even when it would benefit him to act with honor. [[spoiler: In the end, when he has Jack at his DarkestHour, his arrogance and cruelty are what enable Jack's allies (including the AntiAntichrist daughter he unknowingly bore) to mount a resistance and give Jack the chance he needed to return to the past and destroy him.]]

* Megatron from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''. Ambition, Envy, Wrath and {{Pride}}. Megatron contrasts with his ArchEnemy Optimus Prime in two key ways. First, his grey design is curved and angular with large shoulder spikes compared with the more colorful and smooth Optimus and other Cybertronians. Second and more importantly, in his backstory, Megatron and Optimus used to be partners in action, as Megatron sought at first to change how the Elders of Cybertron treated other Transformers. Their key split was that while Megatron sought to be named the next Prime and overthrow the guard with force, Optimus asked that the guard reform and was thus recognized as true prime material despite not asking for it. Overcome with Wrath, Megatron destroyed Cyberton searching for the Matrix of Leadership before bringing his war to Earth afterwards. While he was first thought to be destroyed by his inability to allow his legion of the undead to be destroyed in the FiveEpisodePilot, he came back and [[spoiler:his ultimate demise was at the hand of Bumblebee. Reported to be the weakest of the Autobots going into the series, he's struck down with the star saber, which he copied and sought to use to become a god. Killed by beings he thought weaker than himself and beaten because he failed to see the other Autobots outside Optimus as a threat.]]
* ''[[WesternAnimation/VillainousCartoonNetwork Villainous]]'': Given the heavy implication that Black Hat's one of the first, if not ''the'' first, villains in all of CN history, it shouldn't be a surprise that the man(?) is classic in more than one way. So far, he embodies {{Ambition|IsEvil}}, {{Pride}}, {{Wrath}}, {{Greed}}, and {{Sloth}}:
** '''Ambition''': Was once a GalacticConqueror who enslaved countless worlds and now sells his talents and resources to see other villains succeed over heroes.
** '''Pride''': To the degree he considers himself the greatest being of evil and that other villains are beneath him.
** '''Greed''': Runs the biggest supervillain service organization, and is very itchy for money, [[YourSoulIsMine and other forms of currency]].
** '''Wrath''': Has a frighteningly [[HairTriggerTemper short fuse]].
** '''Sloth''': Nowadays spends his time [[OrcusOnHisThrone sitting at home, letting his minions do all work]]. Though, this can be justifiable, since he's retired.
* Dick Dastardly of ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' is quite likely Hanna-Barbera's most famous villain, as ineffectual as he is at succeeding through nefarious schemes. He even had [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines his own show]] (along with canine cohort Muttley) as well as appearing on other shows as the antagonist.
