* Jodafra from the Eighth Doctor comics is initially introduced as a roguish trickster who is nowhere near as bad as [[DecadentCourt some of his relatives]]. Then in his second appearance he tries to feed a bunch of little children to a monster in exchange for mystic power and, when his own niece [[EvenEvilHasStandards objects to this]], gives her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown with his walking stick that leaves the Doctor, who's seen some pretty ugly stuff, shocked when he sees the state of her. Unfortunately, thanks to an AbortedArc, we never got to see him get his comeuppance until he resurfaced against the Twelfth Doctor, having enslaving the crew of a time machine.

Yes before he had manipulated, threatened, and killed lots and lots of people, but compared to the number of people The Doctor had manipulated, threatened and killed, they were basically even, and before Delgado died he was even supposed to have a DeathEqualsRedemption plot. And then, when he gets a proper new body again, he destroys one-quarter of the universe, including the home planet of one of the Doctor's companions (though admittedly that was an accident he caused by going on a killing spree). And the new body he got is the corpse of said companion's father. After that, there was really no going back for that specific incarnation.

However, when she enslaves children, whatever sympathy one may have had for her vanishes. Moreover, when she decides that the children are disposable, you're actively rooting for her defeat. Interestingly, [[WordOfGod RTD]] later stated that, in hindsight, he felt that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen he should have given her]] a chance for RedemptionEqualsDeath in the climax - specifically by having her WhatHaveIBecome ''not'' result in her [[DrivenToSuicide killing herself in horror]], but for the Doctor to prompt her to transport the Cyberking away ''herself'' before it explode (if only to avoid the Doctor's DeusExMachina-ish solution to the problem). By the time Davies thought of this solution, however, it was too late to implement it and we're left with what we got.

Even after all his torment, none of it just, he not only repents for going too far but accepts [[spoiler: losing her for good]] '''and''' [[spoiler: being Mind Raped himself and thus losing his memories of her]] as just punishment on his way to returning to his best self.
!! Series/{{Torchwood}}
* Gray burying Jack alive for almost 2000 years. He was planning on eternity. Even John [[EvenEvilHasStandards protests when he finds out]].
* In Series/TorchwoodChildrenOfEarth, The 456 when we find out [[spoiler:[[AndIMustScream what they do to the children]]]].
** Prime Minister Green, when he orders Frobisher, his most loyal ally, to [[spoiler:sacrifice his own children]] to the 456.
*** "I'm sorry John. I'm really very sorry...and I'm really very busy."
** The ministers of the government choosing to [[spoiler:protect their own children]] no matter what and then taken even further when they all agree to [[spoiler:sacrifice the poor and disadvantaged children]] to save the [[spoiler:respectable middle class ones]]. Though they ''still'' don't end being as unsympathetic as Green, since they at least ''admit'' to their bias and [[IDidWhatIHadToDo aren't exactly happy about their actions]].
* In Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay, Colin Maloney, the guy running one of the overflow camps in episode 5. He cuts corners to save money and leaving treatable people in pain simply because they don't have insurance is bad enough, but that's only enough to classify him as a corrupt ObstructiveBureaucrat. He crosses the line by [[spoiler: shooting Dr. Juarez to keep her from ratting him out, and then [[KillItWithFire sticking her in an incinerator]] with the Category 1s]]. Then Rex comes in and gets caught, threatening to do the same if arrested, [[spoiler:sp Maloney tries to jam a pen in his heart. Then he tries to kill Esther, but thankfully she got away thanks to his accomplice finally remembering his conscience.]]
* WordOfGod confirms that in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E9TheTimeMeddler "The Time Meddler"]], the Vikings did, in fact, rape Edith.
* One could argue [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis "Logopolis"]] for The Master when he was portrayed by Creator/AnthonyAinley. Yes before he had manipulated, threatened, and killed lots and lots of people, but compared to the number of people The Doctor had manipulated, threatened and killed, they were basically even, and before Delgado died he was even supposed to have a DeathEqualsRedemption plot. And then, when he gets a proper new body again, he destroys one-quarter of the universe, including the home planet of one of the Doctor's companions (though admittedly that was an accident he caused by going on a killing spree). And the new body he got is the corpse of said companion's father. After that, there was really no going back for that specific incarnation.
* In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E4Dragonfire "Dragonfire"]], Kane has the tourists, passers-through, and residents herded into a spacecraft and blows it to Kingdom Come.
* In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E3TheCurseOfFenric "The Curse of Fenric"]], Millington locks two men up in a cellar, leaving them to their Haemovorey death.
* In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek "Dalek"]], Van Statten is just arrogant and ignorant... until he decides to keep the Doctor as a specimen, for ''torturing''. And later he dismisses his soldiers as "dispensable" when the Dalek massacres them. After that, there's no excuse.
* Fortune-teller and (indirectly Trickster, her boss) from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]], cross this when she makes Donna turn right, which created a parallel world, where Doctor is dead, multiple catastrophes and disasters are not prevented, and it ended destruction of reality itself. Knowing that Trickster is a being feeding on chaos, it really one for them.
* Miss Mercy Hartigan from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E14TheNextDoctor The Next Doctor]]" may have been a more sympathetic character particularly with her implied RapeAsBackStory past. However, when she enslaves children, whatever sympathy one may have had for her vanishes. Moreover, when she decides that the children are disposable, you're actively rooting for her defeat. Interestingly, [[WordOfGod RTD]] later stated that, in hindsight, he felt that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen he should have given her]] a chance for RedemptionEqualsDeath in the climax - specifically by having her WhatHaveIBecome ''not'' result in her [[DrivenToSuicide killing herself in horror]], but for the Doctor to prompt her to transport the Cyberking away ''herself'' before it explode (if only to avoid the Doctor's DeusExMachina-ish solution to the problem). By the time Davies thought of this solution, however, it was too late to implement it and we're left with what we got.
* In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars "The Waters of Mars"]], the Tenth Doctor decides to save Adelaide without respect to time laws and possible catastrophes. He does it very smugly, not at all caring about Adelaide's worries when she pulls What the Hell, Hero? on him. Only her suicide [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone leads him to remorse]] and averts it. Keep in mind that it was a fixed point. The whole universe could have been destroyed.
* [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]]:
** [[spoiler:Why is Master insane? Because Rassilon put the signal of drumming into his head to save himself and Gallifrey!]]
** And, of course, [[spoiler:Rassilon's battle cry: "For victory! FOR GALLIFREY! FOR THE END! OF TIME! ITSELF!"]].
** [[spoiler:the Time Lords]] themselves have gone off the deep end as they are willing to destroy the fabric of space and time to escape their own demise.
* In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E11TheCrimsonHorror "The Crimson Horror"]], when [[spoiler: Mrs Gillyflower takes her own daughter hostage]].
* "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E13TheNameOfTheDoctor The Name of the Doctor]]" reveals that [[spoiler:one incarnation of the Doctor (played by Creator/JohnHurt) did something so monstrous that the other incarnations (including those who have committed multiple genocides and doomed their own species,) have disowned him, stripped him of the name "Doctor" and tried to forget he ever existed.]] However, "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor The Day of the Doctor]]" [[spoiler:ends up portraying him more sympathetically as a war-torn WellIntentionedExtremist who, with the help of the Tenth and Eleventh (and the other ten) Doctors, eventually averts this and ends the episode content with the possibility of having failed in doing the right thing as opposed to the guilt of having succeeded in doing the wrong thing]].
* Invoked by [[http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/doctor-who/32928/doctor-who-steven-moffat-on-series-8-missy-lies-and-leaks Moffat in an interview]], who is well aware of Missy's DracoInLeatherPants tendencies. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven "Death in Heaven"]], he had her kill off fan-favorite Osgood to remind us that just because she's a woman now the Master isn't any less of a psycho she's always been.
* Whoever made the poor Doctor, the man who saved Gallifrey, go through more than 4 billion of years of MindRape in his confession dial in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E11HeavenSent Heaven Sent]]" -- possibly ''solely'' to extract information about the Hybrid from him -- has definitely crossed this. It is heavily implied to be Rassilon himself, and if so, he gets off easy by being exiled.
* In the opinion of the Eighth Doctor, the point where he decided he would be willing to destroy the AlwaysChaoticEvil Daleks is when the [[BigBad Dalek Time Controller]] engineered the second Dalek invasion of Earth, planning to turn it into a plague planet and pilot it around the Universe to wipe out all other life.
* Donna was absolutely right that Doctor needs a companion as a MoralityChain. What happens to the Doctor when a companion is [[spoiler: killed thanks to a Senseless Sacrifice]] in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E10FaceTheRaven Face the Raven]]" and he is immediately imprisoned in a torture chamber, all alone save for the MonsterOfTheWeek, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E11HeavenSent Heaven Sent]]"? He is ultimately DrivenToMadness and his torment becomes [[spoiler: a Self-Inflicted Hell]] before he manages to escape. Due to these mounting horrors and '''absolutely no one around him caring about or even realizing''' what he's endured, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent Hell Bent]]" the Doctor becomes TheUnfettered WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds willing to risk the destruction of the universe just to [[spoiler: save Clara from her death]], again changing a fixed moment in time. The moment of truth comes when he intends to [[spoiler: Mind Rape Clara to protect her from his enemies]]. Will he go through with it and lose all hope of redemption? As it turns out, no. Even after all his torment, none of it just, he not only repents for going too far but accepts [[spoiler: losing her for good]] '''and''' [[spoiler: being Mind Raped himself and thus losing his memories of her]] as just punishment on his way to returning to his best self.
