History Main / MADEOfEvil

* ''Literature/TheDarkTower:'' the Crimson King is described as nothing less than "Hell, incarnate."

* Parodied with Plankton on ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. He is described as being "1% Evil, 99% Hot Gas".

** Aku himself is this as well. It even serves as his weakness: He's completely incapable of doing anything remotely good, to the point that it makes him predictable and even [[HoistByHisOwnPetard bites him in the behind]] a couple of times when doing good would have benefited him more yet he still couldn't help but be evil.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'':
** Janemba, the BigBad of ''Anime/FusionReborn'', is made out of all the evil that was sucked out of the residents of Hell in order to purify their souls.

** Demon King Piccolo was formed when the Namek who would become Kami cast off his evil. While the Demon King was pure evil, for unknown reasons when he was killed and {{reincarnat|ion}}ed himself into his son, the resulting [[OverLordJr Piccolo Jr]]. was not and eventually made a HeelFaceTurn.

* The {{Franchise/Nasuverse}} has an odd example with its incarnation of [[UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}} Angra Mainyu]]. He was originally a normal man whose fellow villagers wanted evil to have a physical form which they could blame for their own sinful urges, so they sacrificed him and began treating him as a GodOfEvil. Thus he's Made Of Evil without actually ''being'' evil. [[spoiler:When someone summoned him as "Avenger" in the Third Holy Grail War, his death and subsequent reabsorption by the Grail caused it to begin granting the wish he embodied, resulting in [[UnholyHolySword its corrupted state]] during the events of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero''. ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' actually features Avenger fighting his own physical manifestation.]]

** ''Literature/TheWayOfKings'': Although we don't have much information about them, the monsters that Dalinar confronts in one of his visions of the past bleed black smoke when wounded and dissolve once dead. They certainly sound like they're made of evil.

* [[Literature/WarriorCats The Warriors series]] has many evil cats, but this trope can most effectively be applied to Brokenstar. Not only was the cat nasty from the day he was born and a piece of work (to the point that the description of EvilOverlord basically describes his personality perfectly), but getting good traits during his nine lives ceremony outright caused him physical pain. When he was born, his mother outright noted his face was twisted with rage and hatred.

* As depicted in 2001, [[Toys/{{Bionicle}} Makuta]] was this, or at least claimed to be. He's not, actually, as later lore reveals, but then again, being [[spoiler: reduced to a pure gaseous state because one has shed such pesky things as conscience and compassion really does put some points in the "Made Of Evil" column.]] On the other hand, his dialogue implies that the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original plan of the development team]] was to invoke this trope literally, especially because early comments stated that he was meant to represent the destructive impulse kids feel after building with LEGOS (the "building" part represented by Makuta's counterpart and [[MetaphoricallyTrue metaphorical]] brother, Mata Nui).

Contrast CompleteMonster, a character who is consciously purely immoral instead of being physically composed of immorality; since characters that are MadeOfEvil lack the agency required for moral judgement, they usually cannot become a Complete Monster, with the only exceptions being when other characters in the same Made of Evil situation show themselves to be capable of making a successful HeelFaceTurn. Also contrast EvilIsSterile, which implies that something being "made of evil" is a logical contradiction. The [[EvilCounterpart Good Counterpart]] is MadeOfGood.

* ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'': Mr. Hyde is all of Jekyll's internalized evil given a physical form by a potion. Everyone he meets notices, and [[UncannyValley it gives him the impression of being deformed without having anything physically wrong with him.]]

** [[spoiler:The Idea of Evil is the reason the ''Berserk'' universe is such a [[CrapsackWorld crappy place to live]]: as long as people believe something is responsible for the evil, it exists.]]

* ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''(Web Novel only): [[spoiler:Princess Malty Melromarc (a.k.a. Myne Sophia) is revealed to be an ArtificialHuman reality-warped into existence by the truly despicable [[GodOfEvil Medea Pideth Machina]], intentionally programmed to cause as much evil as humanly possible. Averted in the other versions, as she's just a spoiled sociopath.]]
* The mazoku in ''{{LightNovel/Slayers}}'' are beings of pure chaos that, as in the trope, feed on negative emotion, power black magic, and want to see the world returned to the Sea of Chaos. [[TabletopRPG Fantasy RPGs]] like ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' are an admitted influence on the setting, so it's possible they draw inspiration from that game's demons, etc.

* Depending on [[EnemyWithout interpretation]], the Minotaur in ''Anime/{{Tekkonkinkreet}}'' embodies [[spoiler: Black]]'s inner darkness.

* Margaret Robinson from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''; on top of being needlessly cruel [[ForTheEvulz for the sake of it]], according to a tag that Gumball found on her head, she's 70% cotton, 30% polyester, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and made in the underworld]].

* The god of Darkness in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' appears to be this. At the very least, his Grimm are.

Somehow, the villain's physical body is made up of a tangible form of Evil. If you cut them, they will "[[AlienBlood bleed]]" Evil, and severed limbs or cuts to the torso won't reveal skin, muscle, bone and organs but a uniform [[DarkIsEvil dark material]]. These villains are, unsurprisingly, [[NotEvenHuman not human]]; or at least, [[WasOnceAMan not anymore.]] They may be an AnthropomorphicPersonification of Evil, a GodOfEvil that is made up of their portfolio rather than an organic/'divine' being in control of it, or a [[PureEnergy Pure]] [[EnergyBeings Energy Being]] made of TheDarkSide and the UltimateEvil. Normal humans [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous can become Made Of Evil]] if they [[LevelGrinding spend years]] being ''[[ForTheEvulz really]]'' evil and get dosed with {{Phlebotinum}}. An everyday good person may have the darkness in their heart forcibly ejected to make TheHeartless, or an EnemyWithout. Commonly, they are {{Emotion Eater}}s who feed on negative emotions, perhaps even being a GodOfEvil who [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly runs off of / is the source of]] these negative emotions. A subcategory of this is when the villain is the personification of any single certain aspect of evil, he or she is an EmbodimentOfVice. He could also be the personification of one ugly aspect of life for example, of war as a WarGod. Their motivation will invariably be ForTheEvulz, but note the distinction: a Made of Evil entity is compelled by their nature to do evil for the sake of it.

* ''Wiki/TVTropes itself'' can be considered to be Made of Evil. [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife It ruins your life]], and it draws you into its legion of tropers. Every single electron that makes up the data in TV Tropes is a sacrifice of some poor guys' time. [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil Theoretically, it will never stop growing unless people stop making works of fiction]]. Of course, some will say that TV Tropes is JustForFun/MadeOfWin... but that sounds like something TV Tropes would say, doesn't it?

** The Unversed take this UpToEleven by being made entirely of [[spoiler: Vanitas']] negative emotions. [[spoiler: And a new one spawns with EVERY NEGATIVE EMOTION that he feels.]]

* Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/HellFire": One of the scientists insists that all atomic bombs are HellFire; power that is innately evil because it comes from FireAndBrimstoneHell.

* ''Wiki/TVTropes itself'' can be considered to be Made of Evil. [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLifeIt ruins your life]], and it draws you into its legion of tropers. Every single electron that makes up the data in [=TVTropes=] is a sacrifice of some poor guys' time. [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil And theoretically, it will never stop growing unless people stop making works of fiction]].
** Nahh, [=TVTropes=] is JustForFun/MadeOfWin.
*** That sounds like something [=TVTropes=] would say.

The bad guys aren't just bad, they ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmS_hMnFNVM are]]'' Bad! The concentrated, [[AnthropomorphicPersonification physical manifestation of it]] to be precise.

Compare and contrast CompleteMonster, a character who is consciously purely immoral instead of being physically composed of immorality. Contrast EvilIsSterile, which implies that something being "made of evil" is a logical contradiciton. The [[EvilCounterpart Good Counterpart]] is MadeOfGood.

** The ''Satsui no Hadou'' (Surge of Murderous Intent) is like the ki-equivalent of Psycho Power. Primarily channeled by Akuma and a constant source of struggle/temptation for Ryu, it is a malevolent and bloodthirsty ki that can give its users a great deal of strength in battle but only at the expense of one's mercy and humanity (i.e. drawing on this ki for strength means the user will show no restraint in battle and kill their opponents if it comes to that). Akuma's alter-ego Oni from ''Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition'' is the zenith of the dangerous potential it holds and, aside from using Akuma's body as a vessel, is as much the literal interpretation of the trope as Bison's Psycho Power.

* Rafisol in ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Puyo Puyo Chronicle]]'' is this, being described as a manifestation of hatred spawned from Ally's amulet and only desiring destruction. Strangely, [[spoiler:unlike the other examples on this page, she actually pulls a HeelFaceTurn after her defeat]].

* ComicBook/{{Mephisto}} once took an interest in Christ's Crown, New York, a horrible place with a dark and bloody history. Mephisto gathered power from the accumulated evil in Christ's Crown and used it to create his "son" Blackheart.
* [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Super Sonic]] in ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' is made of the pure evil Chaos Energy of the Chaos Emeralds.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' the demon Trigon the Terrible is referred to as the "incarnation of evil" and "source of all darkness."

** The One Ring was forged from Sauron’s distilled hatred and obsessive need dominate the world. It’s about as close to Tolkien ever got to justifying pure evil in his mythology, simply because it came from raw negative emotions made physical.

* The {{Franchise/Nasuverse}} has an odd example with its incarnation of [[UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}} Angra Mainyu]]. He was originally a normal guy whose fellow villagers wanted evil to have a physical form they could pin blame on, so they sacrificed him and began treating him as a GodOfEvil. Thus he's Made Of Evil without actually ''being'' evil. [[spoiler:When someone summoned him as "Avenger" in the Third Holy Grail War, his death and subsequent reabsorption by the Grail caused it to begin granting the wish he embodied, resulting in [[UnholyHolySword its corrupted state]] during the events of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero''. ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' actually features Avenger fighting his own physical manifestation.]]
