History Monster / FullmetalAlchemist

* There's Shou Tucker, a MadScientist who transforms his own daughter and her dog into a HalfHumanHybrid, partly to see if he can and partly to retain his State Alchemist status. He had previously done the same thing to his wife. He's the only character who even comes close to evoking [[NiceGuy Al]]'s rage, and what he did leaves a stain on the Elric brothers' memories for the rest of their lives.
* The unnamed and utterly heinous [[FanNickname Dr. Goldtooth]] is essentially Tucker 2.0. He crosses the MoralEventHorizon in one of Bradley's flashbacks, when he's shown cackling with glee as he puts one subject after another through the process intended to create Wrath. In the present day he only gets a few scenes, but they are more than enough. He uses his medical alchemy to heal MadBomber Solf J. Kimblee so that he might be unleashed upon the heroes again. He later looses the remaining Fuhrer candidates on Ed, Roy, Hawkeye, and Scar to prevent them from interfering with Father's plans to destroy the country, activates the Transmutation Circle that sends Ed, Al, and Izumi into Father's presence, and finally, [[spoiler:has one of the candidates slit Riza Hawkeye's throat]] in an attempt at forcing Roy to perform human transmutation and open the Gate. Perhaps most importantly, he's privy to Father's endgame (unlike Central Command, who believe they are all going to recieve immortality) and simply doesn't give a damn. No explanation for his actions is ever given, and he spends all of his appearances sporting a SlasherSmile and bragging about his achievements.

* There's Shou Tucker, a MadScientist who transforms his own daughter into a HalfHumanHybrid, partly to see if he can and partly to retain his State Alchemist status. He had previously done the same thing to his wife. He's the only character who even comes close to evoking [[NiceGuy Al]]'s rage, and what he did leaves a stain on the Elric brothers' memories for the rest of their lives. Just to put things in perspective: of all the characters who died in the story (shortly after Tucker's arrest, AntiHero [[ReligiousBruiser Scar]] breaks into his house and [[PayEvilUntoEvil bloodily murders him]]), he's the only one who was sent to Hell in the "In Memoriam" omakes. The author Hiromu Arakawa allowed even characters like Envy or Kimblee to get to Heaven, because she thought there was still something worth saving about them. With Shou Tucker, she was absolutely merciless, and with good reason.

** What makes Tucker so rage-inducingly abhorrent is that he's so unwilling or unable to see how he did anything wrong. Before Scar shows up to finish him off in the manga, he's seen sitting and whining to the monster he made of his own child about how nobody understaaaaands his geeeeenius, boo hoo. In the FMA universe, while many characters have done terrible things and have blood on their hands, what makes them redeemable or not in the author's eyes seems to be whether or not they are willing to be honest about it and clean up after themselves. Tucker shows no remorse, which is probably why he's the only one sent to hell.

* From the ''Brotherhood movie'', we have Security Chief Atlas, who killed the movie's female protagonist's parents, [[spoiler: then [[FaceStealer stole her brother Ashley's skin]], and used it as a disguise in order to trick the rebel group, Bats, into making a Transmutation circle for him in order to gain power to rival other nations]]. He then killed the Bats' leader, Miranda, for her sacrificial blood, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder murdered his co-conspirator to gain his blood as well]], and sacrificed hundreds of Amestrian soldiers by "feeding them" to Milos's machinery to create a Philosopher's Stone for himself.

* [[TheDragon Envy]]. His manga counterpart was [[AlasPoorVillain pitiful enough in the end]] to avert this trope. This version on the other hand, is not, and takes the former's evil and {{Jerkass}}ery UpToEleven. He's a malevolent sadist who gets his kicks out of ruining people's lives (joining up with his BigBad mom [[PsychoForHire solely so he can kill as many people as possible]]), abuses both the other Homunculi and anybody they've managed to take prisoner, and makes liberal use of the ShapeShifterGuiltTrip, taking on the forms of people's loved ones before attacking them. He crosses the MoralEventHorizon with [[spoiler:Hughes' murder]] and then follows it up with a string of murders and mind games that end with [[spoiler:[[HeroKiller his killing Ed]]]]. He's got ParentalAbandonment as a FreudianExcuse, but it doesn't come close to justifying his homicidal mania, and [[spoiler:and he ultimately undermines it when he kills his father rather then trying to reconnect with him.]].

* [[MadBomber Solf J. Kimblee]]. Unlike his manga counterpart, who has a definite case of MoralSociopathy going on and believes RousseauWasRight, this version is a PsychoForHire, NietzscheWannabe, and MisanthropeSupreme par excellence, who LovesTheSoundOfScreaming and isn't afraid to share it with you. He comitted genocide in Ishbal, tortured Scar by blasting him apart one piece at a time, blew up his fellow prisoners in order to escape from prison, betrayed [[AntiVillain Greed]] to [[GeneralRipper Frank Archer]], tries to murder Al soon after his reinstatement, reenacts the Ishbal genocide in Liore, and finally [[spoiler:dies while trying to take Al and Scar with him]]. A truly appalling mix of rage, hatred, and pure nihilism.

He also [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder stabbed the guy who was secretly in on this as well because he needed more sacrificial blood]].

* Brigadier General Basque Grand (a ReasonableAuthorityFigure in the manga) is [[AdaptationalVillainy portrayed as]] a sadistic ColonelKilgore and one of the key players in the Ishbalan massacre, who laughed maniacally as he gunned scores of civilians down with his Philosopher's Stone, authorizing its use in order to turn the massacre into ''a massacre''. Grand [[spoiler:forced Roy Mustang to kill Winry's parents (he nearly commited suicide because of that), because they were treating Ishabalan patients, even though they were also treating Amestrian soldiers.]] When he discovers what Shou Tucker had done to his daughter, he decides to cart her away for study, presumably so he could bully Tucker into making more chimeras lest he lose his State Alchemist license.

* [[spoiler:[[PresidentEvil King Bradley/Pride]]]]: You know he's not going to be a nice guy right off the bat, what with the whole [[spoiler:"military dictator"]] thing. It gets worse when you realise that he's the one who ordered the [[spoiler:genocide in Ishbal]] and worse still when he has those actions repeated in Liore. Then he crosses the MoralEventHorizon with his cold-bloodedly nonchalant murder of [[spoiler:Marta]] and [[OffingTheOffspring throttles his own son]], who had served as his MoralityPet, to death in the finale, while ranting about being [[AGodAmI an agent of God]], thus establishing himself firmly as a totally irredeemable bastard.

* Frank Archer is well nothing better when it's him who hired Kimblee in the first place and he even kills his fellow soldiers.

* [[spoiler: [[BigBad Dante]]]]: A [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 400 year old bitch]] with a penchant for {{Body Surf}}ing, she's stayed alive this long by jacking innocent people's bodies, ditching them when they start to rot, and repeating the process infinitely. When her own Philosopher's Stone runs out, she sets in motion a plan to cause so much misery in Amestris that someone will be desperate enough to recreate the Stone, allowing her to steal it with no risk to herself. She's abusive towards her Homunculi "children", arranges for Ed to [[spoiler:kill Greed]], jacks her own assistant's body, and finally, attempts to steal the body of one of the hero's {{Love Interest}}s, who had already been severely traumatized by rape/pregnancy, solely so that she can force him to have sex with her. Said hero is both a teenager, and her ''ex-boyfriend's son''. She later shatters the mind of one of her Homunculi servants when he dares to miss his dead friend. She's never shown in a sympathetic light, comes off as an [[SmugSnake overconfident]] JerkAss in person, and doesn't even have the excuse of not being human to protect her.

When Scar blows his brains out, it is [[AssholeVictim very, very satisfying]].

He also [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder stabbed the guy who was secretly in on this as well because he needed more sacrificial blood]]. He gets his comeuppance when a [[spoiler:PhilosophersStone-empowered]] Julia and [[spoiler: Ashley, who turned out to have survived the ripping of his skin via Philosopher Stone and worked up the ranks to become a commander of the Creta military,]] [[LaserGuidedKarma kill him in the end]].

* Mugear wanted to introduce a toxic chemical into pregnant women to produce an alchemical amplifier. Before that, he had no problems producing said amplifier at the cost of the villagers' health. He also murdered Nash Tringham, the inventor of the method, after he refused to use the method or continue the research on it due to the health risks for the people of his village and tried to sabotage its use by Mugear.

* [[SerialKiller Barry the Chopper]]: Unlike his manga incarnation, which was PlayedForLaughs, his iteration in the 2003 anime was [[AdaptationalVillainy far more vicious and horrifying]]. Barry was once a simple butcher living in Central City who had grown bored with his life of cutting up pigs and cows. One day, to see what it felt like, Barry decided to chop up his wife and quickly found that he loved the sensation. What followed was a string of women being brutally murdered. Barry's killing spree came to a temporary halt when he was arrested after trying to kill the Elrics' childhood friend, Winry. Rather than be executed, Barry was experimented on, had his soul bound to a suit of armor, and became one of the guards for the Fifth Laboratory. After the lab's destruction, Barry slaked his bloodlust by joining a group of mercenaries to slaughter a camp of harmless Ishvalans. An utter sociopath, Barry killed people for no other reason than because he enjoined it. When asked by Alphonse if Barry was afraid that he wasn't the real Barry and was just an artificially constructed soul, like Barry accused Alphonse of being, Barry stated that it didn't matter if he was the original Barry or not[[labelnote:*]]He ''is'' the original Barry.[[/labelnote]]. Barry claimed that so long as he had the ability to kill people, he loved who he was: "I kill therefore I am."

Barry claimed that so long as he had the ability to kill people, he loved who he was: "I kill therefore I am."

* [[SerialKiller Barry]] [[NamestoRunAwayFromReallyFast the Chopper]], whose sadism is played completely seriously in this incarnation (unlike the LaughablyEvil version in the manga) and is NightmareFuel-inducing.

* TheBigBad, [[spoiler:Dante]], is an obvious one. She manipulates and abuses her homunculi servants and sends them to their deaths if they don't do exactly what she wants. Their desire to become human leads them to question if she really intends to make them human (she doesn't), and she can't have that. She plots the destruction of a nation in the hopes that it will convince someone to create a Philosopher's Stone, which she can then steal in order to live a few years longer (when she's already ReallySevenHundredYearsOld). And that's on top of already being an [[SmugSnake overconfident]] [[BodySnatcher body-snatching]] bitch who plans to hijack the body of Rose, who ''already'' went through serious BreakTheCutie, including [[spoiler:RapeAsDrama and TeenPregnancy]] so that she can get Ed (her ex-boyfriend's son) to sleep with her.
* [[PresidentEvil Pride]], who willingly oversees the destruction of his own nation, orchestrated a genocide, coldly cuts down Marta without a second thought, brags about being an agent of God, and [[OffingTheOffspring strangles his own son to death in the finale]]
* [[JerkAss Envy]], a ShapeShifting [[TheSociopath psychopath]] whose FreudianExcuse (ParentalAbandonment [[spoiler:from his mother, Dante, and her former lover, Hohenheim]]) doesn't even come close to making his raging sadism, brutality, and contempt tolerable; he gets his jollies out of murder (working for the BigBad [[DragonWithAnAgenda solely so that he can]] [[PsychoForHire hurt as many people as possible]]), [[MoralEventHorizon kills]] [[ShooOutTheClowns the comic relief]] [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip while in the form of his wife]], and elevates KickTheDog to an art form, before finally [[spoiler:[[HeroKiller killing Ed]] in the finale]].
* [[AxeCrazy Zolf J. Kimbley]], who lacks the manga version's good points, being a genocidal MadBomber NietzscheWannabe PsychoForHire and MisanthropeSupreme who just likes killing people ForTheEvulz in this version.

* [[PresidentEvil Pride]], who willingly oversees the destruction of his own nation, brags about being an agent of God, and [[OffingTheOffspring strangles his own son to death in the finale]]

Perhaps most importantly, he's privy to Father's endgame (unlike Central Command, who believe they are all going to recieve immortality) and simply doesn't give a damn. No explanation for his actions is ever given, and he spends all of his appearances sporting a SlasherSmile and bragging about his achievements.
