History Main / OneBadMother

* Mother from ''VideoGame/{{Siren}} 2'', the creator of the various body-snatching avatars. If she has a real name, we never find it out.

* Valentine, the main antagonist of ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear 2: Overture'', [[TheGhost frequently makes mention of]] [[GreaterScopeVillain her "Mother"]] and only exists to carry out her orders. The following installments, ''Xrd -SIGN-'' and ''Xrd -REVELATOR-'', give a name to this entity (the Universal Will) and expand upon its backstory. [[spoiler:[[DeityOfHumanOrigin Originally]] a robot created to absorb knowledge from [[EldritchLocation the Backyard]] to help advance human progress, [[AIIsACrapshoot it went rogue]] after deeming mankind to be flawed in its current state and later took on a human form--Ariels, the Sanctus Maximus Populi ([[VillainWithGoodPublicity she's essentially]] ''UsefulNotes/{{the Pope}}'')--to better understand its creators, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood which only]] [[IrrationalHatred made the problem]] [[KillAllHumans worse]].]] Unfortunately for her children, [[ArtificialHuman the Valentines]], the Universal Will [[LackOfEmpathy cares not for their safety and well-being]], only their efficiency. [[spoiler:When Ariels deems the [[HeelFaceTurn recently reformed]] Ramlethal to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer be of any use]], she conspires to kill her--and forces her captive sister Elphelt to [[ForcedToWatch watch in horror]].]]

* Mother Miranda of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' is [[spoiler: the [[BigBad true mastermind]] behind the events of the game]]. Bonus points for [[spoiler: actually being Eveline's mother]].

* Ma Barker and the Barker Gang. In reality, it's more likely that J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI made up the idea that she was the mastermind to excuse killing her in the crossfire of a shoot-out against the gang.

* Mother Mae-Eye from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' animated series.
* M.U.T.H.E.R., the crazy ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994''-style master-computer in the bunker from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''.
* Ma Beagle from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''.

* ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance2'''s "Intercept's Most Wanted" sidequest has the Matron Of Mayhem, or [[FunWithAcronyms MOM for short]], as one of the targets. She's a ViolentGlaswegian with a penchant for using poison gas and causing collateral damage.

* The Mother of Glaaki in ''VideoGame/AnnieLastHope'' is a codename for a virus that facilitates a ZombieApocalypse, released by the BigBad to wipe out an entire city. When confronted as the final boss, said BigBad injects an upgraded Mother of GLaaki serum to turn himself OneWingedAngel.

* ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'' has "Mother", the name Kumoko uses to refer to the {{kaiju}}-sized Queen Taratect who birthed her and later tries to kill her.

* Mother from ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'' is one of the leaders of the Blacksnakes, a large criminal organization full of thieves. She's ''much'' more sadistic than Father, frequently [[WhipItGood whipping]] the Blacksnakes when they displease her, and she even complains when Throné doesn't scream in pain from this. Mother also runs an OrphanageOfFear, and it's fully shown she punishes [[WouldHurtAChild the children]] there in the same way. Unlike the somewhat-sympathetic Father, [[spoiler:she never gets her real name revealed]].

* In ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4|GunsOfThePatriots}}'', Snake is in Prague to find the local resistance leader "Big Mama." Who turns out to be [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater EVA]]]], who chose the name in homage to her former leader Big Boss. When first met, she's in a catholic chappel in front of a large Mary Statue and her troops are all war orphans she has taken in and trained as soldiers. Also, she reveals [[spoiler:that she was the volunteer who gave birth to the clones of Big Boss, making her the closest thing Snake has to a mother]].

* Mother Brain in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''. Not quite certain why it [[NamesTheSame shares a name]] with the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' example.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/SCP-597 SCP-597,]] referred to as "The Mother" by those it enslaves -- well, at first, anyway.
