History EvilUncle / ComicBooks

* Jarvis Kord, uncle to the second ComicBook/BlueBeetle, and one of his more dangerous enemies.
* ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s uncle Steppenwolf is pretty evil and he wasn't too thrilled about Darkseid's rise to power (not out of ambition but simply because he didn't like the idea of anyone being able to take anything from him), but Darkseid is worse. Much, much worse. However, he's steadfastly loyal to his nephew, and unlike every other New God on Apokalips, he's not interested in ruling at all (which is one of the reasons he's loyal) -- he much prefers hunting and leading the Parademons.

* ComicBook/MilesMorales had his uncle Aaron Davis, the Ultimate Prowler (later rethemed into the second Prowler once Miles' history got brought into Earth-616).

* In the U.K. TV book Look-In, the ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' stories feature Baron Greenback's "white sheep" nephew, Hopalong Casually, who helps DM and Penfold defeat the Baron's schemes.
* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' has Brian Banner who gave her [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk cousin]] hell as a child and even in death, Brian tries to attack Jennifer on several occassions just for being associated with poor Bruce.
* Nasthalthia 'Nasty' Luthor was a criminal who tried to make ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s life impossible back in the Silver Age. Her uncle is ComicBook/LexLuthor, one of the main super-villains of Franchise/TheDCU.
* ''ComicBook/SupermanEarthOne'' [[RelatedInTheAdaptation reinterprets Superman's enemy General Zod as his uncle]] and makes him [[GenocideFromTheInside responsible for the destruction of Krypton]], intending to finish the heinous crime of wiping out the rest of the Kryptonian race by killing his own nephew.
* ComicBook/SwampThing's archenemy Anton Arcane more than fulfills this role towards his niece Abby, including lusting after her in an entirely non-avuncular manner.

* ''ComicBook/TomStrong'' revealed at one point that Tom's archenemy Paul Saveen is actually his half-brother, which makes him Tesla's uncle and means he had been attacking his own niece all these times he fought the Strong family.

* In ''ComicBook/XMen: The Hidden Years'', a series that chronicled early, apocryphal adventures of the original team of ComicBook/XMen, Angel's uncle is revealed as an anti-mutant bigot who hates himself for not killing Angel when he was a child.
** Even originally, Angel's uncle Burt was a supervillain responsible for the deaths of both his parents on separate occasions.

* Franchise/TeenTitans: Gar "Beast Boy" Logan was handed over to his uncle, Nicholas Galtry. Galtry was a vicious jerk who made it no secret that he was just after the money Gar's parents left for his care. The kid ran away and found ComicBook/DoomPatrol, and the Patrol had no problem telling the guy to pick on someone his own size and power level...

* Franchise/WonderWoman:

* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': The "Hard-Traveling Heroes" crossover with the Connor Hawke ComicBook/GreenArrow in volume three had Kyle Rayner being manipulated into assisting a man he thinks is his father Aaron in a plot to commit domestic terrorism. At the end of the storyline, the man confesses on his deathbed that [[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo he's really Kyle's Uncle Zachary]].

* ''ComicBook/SupermanEarthOne'' reinterprets Superman's enemy General Zod as his uncle and makes him [[GenocideFromTheInside responsible for the destruction of Krypton]], intending to finish the heinous crime of wiping out the rest of the Kryptonian race by killing his own nephew.

* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': In a short-lived '80s reboot ''ComicBook/ShazamTheNewBeginning'', Billy "Captain Marvel" Batson's arch-nemesis [[MadScientist Doctor Sivana]] was revealed to be his step-uncle. This was undone a few years later. Note that back in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks, Billy already had an Evil Uncle, Ebenezer Batson, who kicked him out on the streets after his parents died; Uncle Ebe was restored in the '90s ContinuityReboot that set the current canon.

* Jarvis Kord, uncle to the second Comicbook/BlueBeetle, and one of his more dangerous enemies.

* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' has Brian Banner who gave her [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk cousin]] hell as a child and even in death, Brian tries to attack Jennifer on several occassions just for being associated with poor Bruce.

* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': Scrooge McDuck, of all people (ducks), has occasionally bordered on this trope, especially in Italian comics. While not actively malicious -- most of the time -- he thinks nothing of exploiting and downright abusing his relatives, using various threats such as removing them from his will, evicting them from their homes or even heaps of physical violence in order to get them to work for him for one-tenth minimum wage. In addition, he uses any trick or excuse to avoid having to pay them at all, and interestingly enough [[KarmaHoudini he almost always gets away with it.]]
