* ''[[BabylonFive Babylon 5]]'' episode "The Corps Is Mother, The Corps Is Father", which focused on Bester and the Psi Corps - while not actually villains, they are antagonistic to the main characters.
** With respect to the troper above, the Psi Corps are definitely villains. The impression that they are not is a tribute to how well they were written, especially including that episode.
*** It especially warrants mentioning that in that episode the Psi Corps agents arbitrarily kill a helpless prisoner in their care because as a normal he isn't worth their attention or the space on their ship. This is not a plot point, they do it while talking about something else.

* King Dedede and Dr. Escargon/Escargoon of [[KirbyOfTheStars the Kirby anime]] have several episodes dedicated to themselves like "Escar-gone" where nobody recognizes Escargoon due to the effect of Boukyakku/Erasem being inside his body and "Sweet & Sour Puss" where Togeira takes away Dedede's ability to get angry and makes him stay calm and friendly through all of the pain inflicted on him by everyone else just to store his anger for one big crazy mega-attack.

"Ask Not For Whom Belle Tolls" centers around four supervillains at the school who have some problems of their own to handle - like covering up a murder. "Bad Seeds" focuses on a campus club that you can't get into unless you're the child of a supervillain.
** [[spoiler: In all three, Karma is both swift and merciless. Interestingly enough, the Bad Seeds are all Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains at worse, though Jobe is competent. Jadis herself wants to be a ''hero''!]]
