* ''Film/CivilWar2024'':
** [[PresidentEvil The President]] is a corrupt, [[TheCaligula wannabe dictator]] who is the primary cause for the [[SecondAmericanCivilWar current war across America]]. A fascist who disbanded the FBI, rewrote the Constitution, and gave himself an extended third term in office, the President used devastating airstrikes and vicious protest dispersal tactics on civilians to secure his rule. Refusing to surrender his power and plunging the country into its current war-torn state by fighting the secessionist Western Forces, [[DirtyCoward the President]] cowardly [[BadBoss sacrifices his own men, staff]], and possibly own wife as decoys when the WF lays siege to his base, and his order that all journalists be shot on sight leads to Lee being coldly gunned down by the President's Secret Service.
** The [[SociopathicSoldier unnamed soldier]] is the [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic fanatically patriotic leader of a tiny militia]] who proves himself to be the worst the CivilWar has to offer despite having no affiliation with either side of the conflict. Taking hostage those who pass by his base, the soldier kills people he [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain deems non-American]], dumping their bodies into a massive grave that houses the corpses of dozens, including [[WouldHurtAChild children]].

* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick2004'': In the extended cut, [[BigBad Lord Marshal Zhylaw]] was once given a prophecy by the air elemental Aereon that a Furyan would one day kill him, so he [[NiceJobBreakingItHerod exterminated their entire race]] in a "private war" and personally strangled newborn infants.

Discovering that Riddick is the one prophesied to kill him, the Lord Marshal orders his death before trying to bargain with Riddick out of fear. He has Aereon captured to provide him with further revelation, charitably promising to spare her world "for last". During his final fight with Riddick, he also kills Riddick's close friend Kyra. While Zhylaw professes to the Necromonger creed, he was still willing to throw his warrior ideals out the window as soon as he felt truly threatened, prompting [[TheStarscream Commander Vaako]] to believe that he was no longer fit to lead them.

* ''Film/ElConde'' (2023): UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet was born in 18th century France as Claude Pinoche, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent a vampire]] with full agency over his actions and a penchant for [[WouldHitAGirl assaulting and killing young women]].
