This trope has many uses. Fire could be used to create the atmosphere for the BigBad's throne room or arena. A VolcanoLair or even a big fiery place with lots of volcanoes could be the [[{{Mordor}} domain]] of the evil emperor. The villain may have [[PlayingWithFire control over fire]] or appear WreathedInFlames. But, nonetheless, fire will be associated with evil.

** The Fallen is one of the original 13 transformers who turned on the others to serve [[EldritchAbomination Unicron]]. Due to the unholy energies empowering him, he's constantly on fire.

* ''{{Charmed}}'': With all the [[FantasyKitchenSink demons, ghosts, sorcerors, evil priestesses, alchemists, elves, trolls, banshees and general baddies]] habiting the world (and underworld) it's expected for at least a few to be able to manipulate fire. [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demons]] are often shown throwing streams or balls of fire at the sisters. Some demons can even teleport by turning into fire or flames. In one particular arc Phoebe basically has an unborn devil brewing in her stomach and she temporarily gains the ability to throw blue fire. Also, in the eighth season Christy, an agent of the {{Big Bad}}s had the ability of pyrokinesis, the ability to create fire.

* ''ElGoonishShive'' with the "master of fire". Damien as a SelfFulfillingProphecy is bad enough and then we have [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-08-26 this]] dream. Not that it wasn't nasty enough as is, but [[http://www.ookii.org/egs/uryuom/ as translated from Uryuomoco]] -- [[spoiler: "Death. It Is Time For The End Of Man. This Master of Fire Shall Inherit The Earth. My Very Presence Eats Away At Your Flesh".]]

* {{Satan}} and {{Hell}} are usually represented in pop culture as being associated with fire. TheDivineComedy is a notable aversion of this, since Satan is trapped in the ''coldest'' part of hell. In TheBible, though, Satan is not really associated with fire, and only ends up in fire because God throws him into the Lake of Fire at the end of the world. He is actually associated thoroughly with air and light, [[LightIsNotGood traditionally more "heavenly"]] elements, and in Revelation he vomits water.

* The Fire Nation in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is the instigator of the war on the three other nations. It's gradually subverted in that some of them are actually decent people and actually allies of Aang and his friends.

* From ''FairyTail'' the villain Zancrow from Grimoire Hearts.

* In ''SonicTheHedgehog2006'', Iblis is a fire being that is one of the two main villains of the game.

* Originally, the colour Red in MagicTheGathering was associated with the chaotic and primordial aspects of fire, and had several villains under it's name. Recently, however, this is generally subverted; Red is now more associated with emotions and freedom, which are good, and as the result Red is the colour with the current least amount of villains (even White has [[LightIsNotGood more]]), the logical extreme of this being New Phyrexia, where the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Always]] [[CompleteMonster Completly Evil]] race has the entire Red faction as the the [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch exception.]] Innistrad introduced several Red aligned monsters, although it's not clear if they're the lesser evil or not, seeing as they are multi-coloured.
