* CompleteMonster: In a setting that runs on BlackAndGrayMorality at best, these three Chaos Lords are the worst of the worst.
** [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]], ArchEnemy of ComicBook/LadyDeath, is the one who manipulates the latter's father Matthias into massacres and atrocities to eventually result in [[TheCorrupter the corruption of Hope]] and her damnation to hell. Manipulating her from the start, Lucifer is also the one who keeps hell running as a place of damnation and agony, having countless souls tortured for fun and his own power. A SerialRapist, Lucifer frequently marries women for a short time and disposes of them when he is done, later setting up a casino in Las Vegas to trick mortals into selling their souls, intending on making Earth into a new Hell with everything dead or tormented in his fires forever. Lucifer later steals souls bound for heaven, tricking them into blasphemy to damn them, before trying to claim God's throne and rape Lady Death to seal his victory.
** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Genocide]] is a [[MultiversalConqueror conqueror who traverses the cosmos]], massacring entire lands or worlds with his followers. A brutal nightmare of a Chaos Lord, Genocide cares nothing for the tenets of chaos beyond his own interpretations, gleefully assaulting Asgard and killing Odin while attempting to massacre the rest. When his own daughter Vex fails her mission, Genocide has her enslaved with no compunction in [[OffingTheOffspring murdering her]], later killing her mother Antigone for opposing him. From his fortress, Wrathworld, Genocide reveals his true plan: the Deathflash. Intending on blasting the Nexus of all things, and with his blasts consuming entire worlds, Genocide plans on triggering a horrific apocalypse throughout the universe, allowing everything to die in [[AndIMustScream an instant that will last an agonizing eternity]], with everything becoming as his name: [[OmnicidalManiac Genocide]].
** [[BigBad Armageddon]], one of the first Chaos Lords and the most powerful, is a being of such arrogance and power-thirst that even some of his fellow Chaos Lords are disgusted. Wishing to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt reduce reality to formless entropy]] with himself as its center, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Armageddon]] waged the Chaos War against his fellow Chaos Lords, slaughtering many of them and many of their creations himself before being {{sealed|Evil In A Can}} in the Forever War. Once he's accidentally freed thirteen billion years later, Armageddon wastes no time in resuming his conquest, crash landing on Earth and swallowing all in his path. From there, Armageddon kills everything within 100 miles of himself before resurrecting them as tortured monsters, sending them to massacre hundreds of millions of people across the globe as he wreaks global destruction, regularly destroying the populace of massive cities--Los Angeles being simply one example. Armageddon [[DisproportionateRetribution spitefully]] exterminates thirty percent of the world's population after an ineffectual retaliation against him, tries to tempt ComicBook/EvilErnie into unleashing a global nuclear holocaust, tortures and kills any and all resistance against him, and vows that all that shall not serve him will be exterminated, ultimately killing off all of Earth's population and resolving to [[OmnicidalManiac obliterate all of reality]] to rule the ashes and [[TakingYouWithMe damning the universe to follow him into oblivion upon his death]].
** ''ComicBook/LadyDeath[=/=]Medieval ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}'', written by Brian Augustyn & Brian Pulido: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Morrigan]] is a powerful [[EvilSorceress dark sorceress]] who took over the lands in the past. Turning her newfound kingdom into the dead wasteland, Queen terrorizes the population, and when she hears of the prophecy that [[TheChosenOne the "Son of Light"]], the one who could end her reign, was about to be born, she rounded up hundreds of pregnant women and women with [[WouldHurtAChild infants]] and tried to have them thrown into a fiery pit. After Lady Death stopped that, Morrigan orders her knights to kill her, while she finds out the town where the supposed "Child of Light" would be born and [[RapePillageAndBurn burns it to the ground]], along with all men, women and children inside. When she finds out that the true "Child of Light" is her stepdaughter, she immediately tries to kill her, while attempting to spread her darkness across the world.
* CryForTheDevil:
** Flashbacks make it clear that despite constant abuse Ernest was a well-adjusted kid, but when he snapped (with a little push from Lady Death, of course), he ''snapped.''
** Lady Death herself could qualify once we see her backstory as a young, innocent girl who was abused by her evil father, executed for witchcraft and twisted by Lucifer's machinations.
* HarsherInHindsight: Part of Chastity's backstory was being molested as a child by her father. Justiniano, the artist for ''Theatre of Pain'', the miniseries that detailed her backstory, was arrested for possession of child pornography.
* MoralEventHorizon: Evil Ernie brutally but casually murders the nurse who was the only person who mourned his "death" and had wanted to see him cured of his insanity for unselfish reasons. Of course, this being Chaos!, it's the ''first thing'' he does upon getting his undead powers.
* NightmareFuel: Most of Chaos! Comics protagonists like to strangle people with their own intestines.
