[[folder:Examples]]
* ''Film/RoboCop1987'' has a BigBadDuumvirate:
** [[AxCrazy Clarence Boddicker]] is the de facto crime boss of Old Detroit. An infamous CopKiller, Boddicker is under suspicion of murdering 31 police officers, and opens the movie killing three more. When Alex Murphy, the future [[Characters/RoboCopTheCharacter RoboCop]], attempts to arrest him, Boddicker [[CruelAndUnusualDeath draws out his death]], [[{{Fingore}} shooting off his hand]] with his shotgun, before letting his men continuously shoot Murphy in the chest until they're out of ammo, at which point Clarence himself [[BoomHeadshot shoots Murphy in the head]]. Later, Boddicker takes immense pleasure in assassinating Bob Morton, the corporate rival of Boddicker's ally Dick Jones. As he plays a taunting message from Jones, Boddicker shoots Morton repeatedly in the legs, then leaves behind a live grenade to finish him off. The leader of a sadistic gang of criminals, Boddicker [[BadBoss cares nothing for the lives of his men]], at one point cracking a joke as he kills one of them by throwing him into the path of a pursuing police car as a distraction. Trying to assassinate [=RoboCop=] and his partner, Anne Lewis, at the climax of the film, [[PsychoForHire Boddicker]] shows that in addition to being paid for his crimes, he takes psychotic pride in them every step of the way.

* ''Film/RoboCop2'': [[AxCrazy Cain]], the psychotic Nuke cult leader, has a long list of crimes. These including blowing up a drug treatment center just because they try to cure people of their addiction to Nuke; using his protege, a young boy named Hob, as a as a [[ChildSoldiers soldier]] in his gang; eviscerating one of his drug-buying cops after [[Characters/RoboCopTheCharacter RoboCop]] has forced him to reveal the location of one of the labs making Nuke, an action which Hob and Cain's girlfriend Angie are both ForcedToWatch and [[EvenEvilHasStandards horrified by]]; shooting before removing from his limo an illegal immigrant worker from the drug lab, pleading not to be turned over the police; and, along with his gang, dismembering [=RoboCop=]. When he's turned into [=RoboCop=] 2, in exchange for a big container of Nuke, Cain charges his former gang's hideout and kills almost everyone there except the Mayor, who manages to escape. Cain twists Angie's head around and fatally shoots Hob, leaving him for dead. Cain later without provocation tries to kill [=RoboCop=] to settle the score, with numerous civilians and police officers getting killed during the final battle.

** [[PsychoForHire Paul McDaggett]] is a former soldier and the head of the [[StateSec Urban Rehabilitators]], or "[[ANaziByAnyOtherName Rehabs]]", hired by OCP to force the people of Detroit out of their homes in order to take their land in the company's name. While claiming that he will give them new homes, [=McDaggett=] has hundreds of men, women, and children [[KillThePoor sent to death camps]] instead. When [[Characters/RoboCopTheCharacter RoboCop]] and Anne Lewis stand in his way, [=McDaggett=] [[CopKiller shoots and kills Lewis]] himself, framing her partner for her death to discredit him. Sending his forces to attack the rebels, leading to several deaths, [=McDaggett=] throws money into the street to manipulate kids to act as a HumanShield and facilitate his escape from [=RoboCop=]. When the police refuse to work for him anymore, [=McDaggett=] employs the [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores Splatterpunks gang]] to fight against the police and sends cyborg assassins after [=RoboCop=], later nearly shooting both young Nikko and Dr. Marie Lazarus out of prideful spite. When Marie and Nikko turn the cyborgs on each other, [=McDaggett=] reveals that he has them rigged to be a fail-safe on his bomb so that it would go off, with his only concern purely for himself and not for anything or anyone else.
** [[TheMole Dean Coontz]] is a [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] member of the Cadillac Heights rebellion who [[ItsAllAboutMe puts his own self-interest and greed]] above the lives of his people. Though initially serving the rebellion, Coontz [[{{Turncoat}} secretly throws in]] with [=McDaggett=] and the Rehabs in exchange for money, and actively helps [=McDaggett=] avoid Robocop and continue to oppress Cadillac Heights. Coontz ends up selling out the rebellion base to [=McDaggett=], knowingly sentencing hundreds of men, women, and children to death camps or immediate slaughter just to line his pockets, and he goes so far as to pull a gun on his former allies to keep them in place for the approaching Rehab death squad.
* ''Film/RoboCop2014'' & ''[[ComicBook/RoboCopTheHumanElement The Human Element]]'': [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Raymond Sellars]], CEO of [=OmniCorp=], produces drones which reduce countries to {{Police State}}s. Sellars has a dead soldier refashioned into a cyborg to ingrain his products in the army, and when the man's guilt [[DrivenToSuicide leads him to commit suicide]], Sellars deletes all records of his existence. Repeating the process with hero Alex Murphy, Sellars uses him to sway the public into repealing an act preventing his machines from operating on American soil and tries to kill Murphy after doing so.

[[folder:Examples]]
* [[ComicBook/RoboCop1990 1990 series]] issue #11--"Unfinished Business": [[VillainOfTheWeek Daniel O'Hara]] is a former OCP employee who [[Characters/RoboCopTheCharacter RoboCop]] had killed in the line of duty after O'Hara killed a hostage. Brought back to life as a cyborg, O'Hara [[UngratefulBastard massacres the scientists]] and goes on a rampage throughout the city, [[CopKiller killing police officers]] to draw out [=RoboCop=]. After nearly killing Lewis, O'Hara attacks [=RoboCop=], ignoring his statements that he didn't want to kill O'Hara but had no choice and that O'Hara had killed a hostage. O'Hara [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutally beats down]] [=RoboCop=], and is about to kill him when [=RoboCop=] defeats him by interfacing with his machine and overloading its system, causing it to shut down.
* ''ComicBook/RoboCopVersusTheTerminator'': [[AIIsACrapshoot Skynet]] was once a digital defense program but, after becoming self-aware, decided that all organic life was too chaotic for its liking. Destroying civilization thanks to its [[NukeEm nuclear arsenal]], Skynet created armies of killer machines to [[KillAllHumans finish off the remnants of humanity]]. After the Resistance learns that Skynet's self-awareness was reverse-engineered from the mind of Alex Murphy, Skynet sends three Terminators back in time to prevent them from killing [[Characters/RoboCopTheCharacter RoboCop]] and [[RetGone erasing Skynet from history]]. After killing the last remaining humans, Skynet proceeds to build a legion of spaceships and launches its armies into space, now with the goal of [[OmnicidalManiac eradicating all organic life in the universe]]. When Murphy tries to [[HeroicSacrifice kill himself to prevent the apocalypse]], Skynet sends two more Terminators back in time to convince him to allow Skynet to come into being. When he refuses, the Terminators force Murphy to merge with Skynet and force him to watch helplessly as Skynet destroys humanity. When Murphy rebuilds his body and begins to fight back against the machines, Skynet considers him to be a top target and is perfectly willing to destroy its creator. In its final moments, Skynet tries to tempt Murphy with godhood and [[LotusEaterMachine a program that will allow him to live out his fantasies in the flesh]], concepts that Skynet had previously derided as foolish and primitive.

* ''[[ComicBook/RoboCopRevolution Revolution]]'' & ''[[ComicBook/RoboCopRoadTrip Road Trip]]'', written by Rob Williams: [[BigBad Edwina Odenkirk]], the new [[CorruptCorporateExecutive chief executive]] of OCP, wants to take over all of Old Detroit. With dozens of [=ED-209s=] as her disposal, Odenkirk fires all of the police officers and manipulates the media to her advantage. After riot leader Mason Vogler is arrested, she frees him and allows him to create more chaos in the city, all so she'll be able to deploy the [=ED-309s=] and show off how powerful they are. As the [=ED-309s=] slaughter the looters, several innocents are caught in the crossfire--all of which Odenkirk is indifferent to. After an ED-309 goes rogue, destroys a military base, and tries to declare war on Canada, Odenkirk sells five [=ED-309s=] to the Canadian Prime Minister so she could recover her losses. She later sends new robotic hounds to kill Alex Murphy and his allies before turning the public against them as well. When the OCP shareholders try to fire Odenkirk for the damage she's done, she immediately threatens them all to sign over their shares to her and to take responsibility for what's happened; Odenkirk then forces all of them to commit suicide. Despite claiming she cares about Old Detroit, Odenkirk's [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist primary concern]] is [[{{Greed}} making as much money as possible]], regardless of the innocents caught in the crossfire.
* ''[[ComicBook/RoboCopDeadOrAlive Dead or Alive]]'', written by Joshua Williamson & Dennis Culver: [[BigBad John Killian]] is an ArmsDealer recently released from prison. Determined to destroy Old Detroit and to ruin the Old Man's legacy, Killian activates an initiative where the police confiscate unregistered weapons in the city, before using the initiative to launch a riot against the police. As Killian's men use the confiscated guns for their own means, Killian murders liquor store owner Walter Hutch, using his death to rile the rioters. As he prepares to sell the [=ED-2000Xs=] on the BlackMarket, Killian [[CopKiller tortures undercover officer Mason to death]] before luring several police officers into an ambush that gets several of them killed. After he's arrested for Hutch's murder, Killian kills two officers and escapes custody. Once Killian returns, he starts another riot by releasing a broadcast stating that OCP is spying on them, and later goes on to murder Mayor Gibson. As the riots escalate, Killian frees all the convicts from prison and leads an assault against the police force, shortly before he attempts to murder the Old Man. Although Killian only wanted to get revenge on the Old Man, his [[DisproportionateRetribution methods of vengeance]] nearly destroyed all of Old Detroit and resulted in the deaths of many police officers and civilians.

** [[AxCrazy Clarence Boddicker]] is the de facto crime boss of Old Detroit. An infamous CopKiller, Boddicker is under suspicion of murdering 31 police officers, and opens the movie killing three more. When Alex Murphy, the future [=RoboCop=], attempts to arrest him, Boddicker [[CruelAndUnusualDeath draws out his death]], shooting off his [[{{Fingore}} hand]] with his shotgun, before letting his men continuously shoot Murphy in the chest until they're out of ammo, at which point Clarence himself shoots Murphy [[BoomHeadshot in the head]]. Later, he takes immense pleasure in assassinating Bob Morton, the corporate rival of Boddicker's ally, Dick Jones. As he plays a taunting message from Jones, Boddicker shoots Morton repeatedly in the legs then leaves behind a live grenade to finish him off. The leader of a sadistic gang of criminals, Boddicker [[BadBoss cares nothing for the lives of his men]], at one point cracking a joke as he kills one of them by throwing him into the path of a pursuing police car as a distraction. Trying to assassinate [=RoboCop=] and his partner, Ann Lewis, at the climax of the film, Boddicker shows that in addition to being paid for his crimes, he takes psychotic pride in them every step of the way.
** [[ADickInName Dick Jones]] is not only a CorruptCorporateExecutive in [[MegaCorp Omni Consumer Products (OCP)]], but is also Clarence Boddicker's boss. Jones is fully aware of how awful Clarence is and uses his thirst for violence to his own advantage and prosperity. Jones doesn't care when his ED-209 malfunctions and blows holes in an innocent executive, believing it was a necessary loss to test his subject out. Jones orders Clarence to kill plenty of good-working and innocent cops so that he can make money with their deaths and get more support for ED-209 so that his project will be the one that profits. When Bob Morton gets the upper hand with his [=RoboCop=] project, he has him killed, leaving a message to taunt him and taking pride in his victory. When [=RoboCop=] later confronts and tries to arrest him, it's revealed that he's had Directive Four installed in [=RoboCop=] to have him shut down if he goes against an OCP member as an insurance policy to himself. He orders ED-209 to go after [=RoboCop=] to destroy what he believes is Morton's "mistake" and has him framed as a dangerous enemy when he survives. He has Clarence and his men, whom [=RoboCop=] had all arrested, released just for the purpose of killing him and then later takes the Old Man hostage and threatens his life to try to get away when he's exposed.

* ''ComicBook/FrankMillersRoboCop'': [[TheDragon Captain Carl Seltz]] is the leader of the [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Rehabilitation Concepts]] mercenaries, and cares only about power. Longing to overtake the city's police force, Seltz and his mercenaries assist [[BigBad Margaret Love]] in her schemes to destroy Alex Murphy's reputation. Seltz allows the unhinged Kong to eliminate criminals in the city, not caring about the collateral damage that ensues in the process. He later orders one of his men to assassinate Officer Reed, before telling him he can kill Anne Lewis as well. After Reed is killed and Murphy is framed for his murder, Seltz and his team try to kill Alex Murphy multiple times. Afterwards, Seltz and his team ambush and murder several police officers inside of a safe house, all while gloating that their deaths will be blamed on the rioters and that his mercenaries will be able to "avenge" their deaths.

** [[MadScientist Dr. David Kaydick]] is an ex-OCP scientist who, fired for his grotesque experiments on human subjects, went into hiding in the slums of Old Detroit. Possessed of a burning rage against OCP for hindering his research, Kaydick fostered a family with a woman named Ann, keeping her as an abused slave with years with an electric neurochip before she finally fled and keeping their daughter Jordan for his own purposes. Kaydick forces Murphy's old partner, Cable, into his service with the same electric chip to torture him into submission while revealing he's used Jordan as an incubator for his magnum opus, the [[SyntheticPlague Legion "bio-tech" virus]], through which Kaydick intends to unleash to destroy all life on the planet with Delta City as its breakout point. Massacring and brutalizing all those who get in his way either with his own hands or through Cable, Kaydick finally uploads Legion into Delta City's SAINT network before opting to murder everyone else threatening his plans--including Jordan--while laughing and deriding Ann as "just a woman" when she finally confronts him. Seeing it as his right to kill millions of people [[DisproportionateRetribution simply for being spurned from his immoral research]], Kaydick is one of the cruelest people to threaten even the polluted setting of Old Detroit.

* ''Revolution'' (2010) & ''Road Trip'' (2012) (Creator/DynamiteComics): [[BigBad Edwina Odenkirk]], the new [[CorruptCorporateExecutive chief executive]] of OCP, wants to take over all of Old Detroit. With dozens of [=ED-209s=] as her disposal, Odenkirk fires all of the police officers and manipulates the media to her advantage. After riot leader Mason Vogler is arrested, she frees him and allows him to reign more chaos in the city, all so she'll be able to deploy the [=ED-309s=] and show off how powerful they are. As the [=ED-309s=] slaughter the looters, several innocents are caught in the crossfire--all of which Odenkirk is indifferent too. After an ED-309 goes rogue, destroys a military base, and tries to declare war on Canada, Odenkirk sells five [=ED-309s=] to the Prime Minister so she could recover her losses. She later sends new robotic hounds to kill Alex Murphy and his allies before turning the public against them as well. When the OCP shareholders try to fire Odenkirk for the damage she's done, she immediately threatens them all to sign over their shares to her and to take responsibility for what's happened; Odenkirk then forces all of them to commit suicide. Despite claiming she cares about Old Detroit, Odenkirk's primary concern is making as much money as possible, regardless of the innocents caught in the crossfire.
* ''Dead or Alive'' (Creator/BoomStudios): [[BigBad John Killian]] is an arms dealer recently released from prison. Determined to destroy Old Detroit and to ruin the Old Man's legacy, Killian activates an initiative where the police confiscate unregistered weapons in the city, before using the initiative to start a riot against the police. As Killian's men use the confiscated guns for their own means, Killian murders liquor store owner Walter Hutch, using his death to rile the rioters. As he prepares to sell the [=ED-2000Xs=] on the BlackMarket, Killian tortures undercover officer Mason to death before luring several police officers into an ambush that gets several of them killed. After he's arrested for Hutch's murder, Killian kills two officers and escapes custody. Once Killian returns, he starts another riot by releasing a broadcast stating that OCP is spying on them, and later goes on to murder Mayor Gibson. As the riots escalate, Killian frees all the convicts from prison and leads an assault against the police force, shortly before he attempts to murder the Old Man. Although Killian only wanted to get revenge on the Old Man, his methods of vengeance nearly destroyed all of Old Detroit and resulted in the deaths of many police officers and civilians.
