When fans write about characters they hate, they'll pull out all the stops to make sure the reader hates them too.

Arrow
- Blackbird (Arrow) has Dinah Lance, Laurel and Sara's "mother". She tracks Sara to Nanda Parbat, and to get the League of Assassins to release her, gives Laurel to them instead. That's bad enough, but what's arguably most heinous is her victim-blaming Laurel by believing that since Laurel dated Oliver, it is her fault that Sara got on the Gambit with him (smoothly ignoring that Sara chose to get on the boat), and as such it is her responsibility to take Sara's place. Notably, every character who learns of this utterly appalled. Sara herself hated the decision and only went through with it because her mother took advantage of her trauma and bullied her into going along with it.
- Vex Vulper in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: The Contempt of Court is an example of a character who was supposed to be this but ended up becoming a very popular character instead. He's a corrupt prosecutor with a very smug demeanor who murdered his own step-brother Jack Crane in cold blood to get the valuable piece of an extremely rare metal that he had, and when exposed in court, he throws the piece of metal at the defendant in anger, causing him to lose an eye. He later kills Marvin Grossberg and the old man Titus Krump, and it is also revealed that he tried to have defense attorney Vincenzo Cicatrice assassinated in the past. All of this was supposed to make the players hate his guts, but many of them instead found him to be Laughably Evil because of how smugly unrepentant he is of his crimes. This may be the reason why the creator actually gave him a somewhat sympathetic moment in the final case.
- In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Case 5: Turnabout Substitution, most of the cast, save for Apollo, is morally gray, but the same cannot be said for the Mysterious Bust Killer, Apollo's new co-counsel Rhea Wits. The true killer is responsible for killing twelve people (including her own brother), tries to frame Robert Erlenmeyer for the crimes and manipulates the rest of the cast, especially Apollo, to escape justice. It's rather cathartic to hear Apollo give the killer a "The Reason You Suck" Speech declaring that they are a despicable and pathetic human being.
- Dirty Sympathy has Kristoph Gavin and Daryan Crescend, as in canon. Unlike canon, Kristoph did not kill Shadi Enigmar, and Daryan didn't kill anyone, but they are both abusers, with Kristoph abusing his employee Apollo and Daryan abusing his boyfriend Kristoph. As a result, it's hard to feel much sympathy when Apollo and Klavier work together to frame them for murder.
- Amphibia The Calamity Gods
: Darcy/The Core is even worse than in canon. They survived the destruction of the moon thanks to a Body Backup Drive and resurface three years later with a new Frobot army and a new Evil Plan. They steal the Calamity Gems and inject them with a dark egergy which will create a Doomsday Device that will wipe out all life on Earth, and is also fine with slaughtering amphibians, since they're all "traitors" to the old cause. Darcy takes sadistic glee in psychologically tormenting Marcy over the pain they caused her previously, manipulating her insecurities to further their plans and actively hoping she commits suicide. They also murder Hop Pop and cruelly taunt Anne about his death. The fic makes it clear that Darcy only cares about themself and sees all other lifeforms as inferior, using that as justification for their heinous crimes.
- The Stalking Zuko Series
- Ozai falls into this role, as in canon, since his abusive treatment of his family and other atrocities are expanded upon here. He's also described as a rather incompetent Fire Lord who's only good at manipulation, with his plan to incinerate the Earth Kingdom being shown as a shining case of him being Stupid Evil. As a result, Ozai has a 0% Approval Rating among everyone who doesn't have a vested interest in keeping him on the throne. Several scenes added after his defeat, from him trying to take Toph hostage to sending covert messages to his followers, are meant to show how vile and irredeemable he is, and emphasize that Aang's refusal to kill him was a mistake.
- Hahn (spelled "Han" in the fic), Yue's fiance. He came off as a jerk in canon, but it's expanded upon here, with him being quite sexist and even racist. He flippantly tells Bato, who's in a relationship with a Fire Nation Original Character, that he doesn't have to think of his relationship as a long-term deal, and can "fuck her and leave her." Katara accepts Hahn's invitation to sit next to him so she can talk to the tribes about how they treat women, but Hahn joking about the Joo Dees' being physically and sexually abused causes her to hit him with a snack tray, and thus lose her spot. Quite tellingly, Arnook, despite being a Horrible Judge of Character, is forced to rethink making Hahn his heir. On a meta level, while the author really doesn't like Kataang, when Katara's told that the two best choices for her are to marry the most influential young man in the Northern Water Tribe or the Avatarnote , Aang looks like the better choice.
- Agent Levine from In Which the Council Makes a Truly Stupid Ass Decision. He treats the team as disposable, ignores their obvious psychological issues and generally acts like an ass. The ending of Chapter 14 seems to imply that Fury is attempting to invoke this on purpose.
- Bridge to Terabithia 2: The Last Time: The LDD-fanfic sequel to the original story gives the readers Jason Burke, the half-brother of Bill Burke and Leslie Burke's estranged uncle, whose purpose was a tool to retcon Leslie's supposed death. As it turns out, Jason was an outcast of the Burke family and an enemy of Bill after a Love Triangle gone wrong, who decides to go into hiding before stalking his brother, all the way from their hometown in Arlington to Lark Creek. Holding a grudge against Bill but unable to do anything about it, Jason decides to instead abduct Bill's only child, Leslie, committing a Revenge by Proxy by faking her death (during her allegedly fatal solo visit to Terabithia) and keep her locked up for years, until deciding to sell Leslie to a Human Trafficking syndicate who wants "fresh teenagers", which he nearly succeed if Leslie didn't manage to force Jason's vehicle to crash. Eventually returning to Lark Creek and reuniting with Jess as a teenager, when the truth is exposed by Leslie during a routine prison visit, absolutely nobody bats an eye when an enraged Jess delivers a well-deserved punch into Jason's face. Jason earns a second punch when Bill Burke finds out the truth, and eventually ends up with a 15 year sentence in prison, which seems more like a Karma Houdini considering the norm for human traffickers and child abductors.
- Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion: Tetsuya is a resistance fighter for the Yamato Alliance. Even among a group filled with the worst of the former Japanese society, he stands out as a scumbag par excellence. Unwarranted self-importance, check. Obsessed with glory at the expense of all else, check. Refrain dealer, check. Tries to kill Lelouch and gets run through and killed by Sayoko for his troubles, checkmate.
- The Games of Moriarty: Moriarty is the main antagonist of the series. Beneath his polite, charming behavior, Moriarty tries to Take Over the World to get back at the world for the suffering it gave him. While he has a strong Freudian Excuse and is a complex character, his acts goes way beyond sympathy, such as forcing the Lyoko-warriors to make several Sadistic Choices threatening their friends, themselves or other people, mind-raping several people, including Odd through a "treatment" even though Odd was already under his control, spreading a deadly flu in the entire city and killing 40 people, or taunting the heroes about their personal issues. Moriarty is also fond of fear-mongering, creating the nationalistic "Order", while committing several terrorist attacks and framing the French Muslim population for his attacks. Moriarty is also a complete tool to ally and enemy alike, revealing to Jérémie that Aélita "cheated on him" with Odd so that he could enjoy seeing him suffer, or mistreating his own creations and subordinates, often threatening to kill them.
- Child of the Storm: Gravemoss is an omnicidal, sadistic and Ax-Crazy Necromancer and Humanoid Abomination with absolutely zero redeeming features — Lucius has style and plausible motivations, Zemo's Affably Evil and plain cool, and Zola's Laughably Evil at least. Gravemoss is doing what he does for no other reasons than his own entertainment (in the short term) and a desire to kill everything in the universe and rule over a universe of the dead. This is the guy who sent a bunch of Dementors into a cancer ward for kicks. When Harry Dresden accidentally conjures a Soulfire Lightsabre and cuts his arm off, negating his Healing Factor and eliciting a scream of horror and pain from Gravemoss, everyone rejoiced.
- Love's Sacrifices
- Count Falco Karnstein from Carmilla's flashbacks, was originally an irresponsible teenager and an emotionally abusive father to Mircalla and Elias. Defined by his unfathomable entitlement and apathy towards others, he becomes a glory seeking treasure hunter, and awakens the demoness Lamashtu, engineering numerous deaths for his "prizes". In the present, Carmilla still thinks back to Falco with nothing but disdain, a sentiment held by all who knew him, with Carmilla refusing to acknowledge him as her father.
- Annabelle Lang, a Silas alumnus, despite appearing once, doesn’t leave a good impression. While at Silas University, she ran a purity group, looking the other way when the Dean took her girls to be sacrificed. She also signed the Crimson List, a bargain with Inanna and Hastur for privileges in the Hell on Earth they'd create. While interrogated by Danny and her agency, Lang maintains a faux modest front, insisting she was just picking “the winning side”. She also laments about how she's being “persecuted” when held accountable, while holding Danny in disdain, implicitly for her being bisexual. As she doubles down on her self righteousness and hypocrisy, it’s hard to feel bad for Lang when the demoness, Lamashtu, comes to collect her due.
- A Man of Iron:
- Gregor Clegane, The Mountain That Rides, is a Sociopathic Soldier of the highest order. Every appearance he has in the fic drives home the point that he’s practically the embodiment of Rape, Pillage, and Burn, and he gets away with it because Tywin Lannister finds him useful.
- Cersei Lannister and Joffrey Baratheon are, true to form, petty, Stupid Evil tyrants who expect blind loyalty from all of Westeros just because Joffrey is the king, despite refusing to do anything to earn that loyalty. It’s made very clear that the only reason they haven’t already sunk the Lannister cause completely is because Tywin and Tyrion won’t let them.
- Ramsay Snow makes a brief appearance in a POV chapter, and proves himself the very same twisted murderer he was in canon. Despite his Cruel and Unusual Death In The Limelight at the hands of Ivan Vanko and Asha Greyjoy, it’s hard to feel sorry for him after he spent two weeks torturing the latter.
- Melisandre’s redeeming qualities completely go out the window in the fic, and she proves to be a despicable, narcissistic witch who has no compunctions with burning innocent children and having potential rivals raped to death for her selfish needs.
- Aliens/Once Upon a Time fanfic Monsters: Robin is a greedy and self-centered businessman who sent the colony to make contact with something he knew was potentially dangerous and didn't properly warn them about. Not only does this lead to the massacre of all but one of the colonists, but this is something Robin feels no remorse for. He also plans to kill everyone on the mission to bring the aliens back to Earth and use them as weapons to make money.
- Revival and its sequel The King in Yellow:
- Maya Lottie, in truth Nyarlathotep, orchestrates the events of the fanfic by giving Lana the Necronomicon after she compelled Charles into walking into the way of a passing car. She was also responsible for the deaths of Patrick Stark's family, taking the form of his older daughter out of mockery and enslaves him. She then steals the souls of Leni and Lola and despite agreeing to free them if she were given the Necronomicon, Maya tosses the souls of the girls into a rip in space-time anyway.
- Yog-Sothoth, after trying to continue where Nyarlathotep left off, takes a reborn Cthulhu and subjects him to harsh training to prepare him for his fight against his half-brother Hastur. When Hastur arrives in Royal Woods, Yog-Sothoth teams up with the Loud family to take Hastur down but once he was dealt with, Yog-Sothoth tries to force Cthulhu to kill them. Yog-Sothoth also ordered Cthulhu to kill multiple Deep Ones by claiming them to be traitors all while keeping it a secret that the first one was the culprit.
- Dr. Moist is an Elder Thing wearing a human skin suit who is obsessed with science. When his suggestion to make Super-Soldier Elder Things to combat the Shoggoths fell through, he creates a genetic bomb and destroys his own race with it to harvest the genetic makeup for his own ends. He manipulates humans into taking the serum painfully transforming and dispatching them if they were failures. When approached by Hastur, Dr. Moist kidnaps Lisa Loud and threatens to experiment on her for hundreds of years for her lack of compliance.
- Unlife Is Strange
- Cathy Mortimer is Steph's girlfriend in her tulpa life, using her classy and privileged status to hide being a toxic and controlling person. When Steph reunites and bonds with a vampiric Rachel, Cathy breaks Steph's hand, and isolates Steph to make her more dependent on her. When Rachel has Mordred look into her history, it’s discovered Cathy previously abused another lover, nearly pushing her suicide through a harassment campaign; and is friends with suspected sex traffickers, who Cathy asked to help “break” Steph. Mordred uses this to motivate Rachel's first kills as a vampire; while Rachel only maims Cathy, Mordred takes it upon himself to finish her off.
- Sean Prescott, much like his canon counterpart, is Nathan's emotionally abusive father and an example of Arcadia Bay's corruption. Following either Nathan's death (“Route A”) or arrest (“Route B”), Prescott tried to control the narrative and salvage his families image; distancing Nathan from Jefferson's crimes, and putting out hit pieces framing Chloe and Rachel in a more unfavorable light. When his corruption came to light, Prescott leaves his wife and daughter to deal with the fallout, before his disappearance. It's revealed when Nathan was a kid, Prescott didn't visit an injured Nathan in the hospital, and pushed Nathan to play hockey, “forgetting him” at a rink when Nathan lost a game. When Nathan is resurrected as a vampire, it’s revealed Prescott was abducted by New Escalon to be killed by his transformed son.
- A World of Wild Wild Evolution:
- Adam Taurus, true to form, is portrayed as nothing but a bloodthirsty extremist. While the Faunus are shown to have genuine problems, Adam is out for blood, not change, being willing to attack and kill other Faunus simply for not being as vengeful as him. His hate runs so deep that he willingly works with the Legion, employing barbaric tactics such as crucifixion, simply to punish humanity.
- Rumford is an Expy of a character from the writings of a human strawman argument, and is just as toxic as that would imply. His entire character is based around crude language, disrespect to everyone he isn't terrified of, misogyny that even his fellow Legionaries think is out of hand, and a combination of bloodthirst and cowardice. Even the Legion hates him, only putting up with him because they are too weakened to be choosy about their recruits.
- The Hunters are a militant hate group that attacks Faunus in retaliation for the White Fang attacks, even though most of their targets have nothing to do with the White Fang, let alone the disgraced Vale branch. Aside from Basil, its members are portayed as having very few positive qualities.
- Code Prime:
- V.V. is definitely one of the most petty characters in the story. Not only did he (supposedly) kill Marianne and cripple Nunnally just because he was jealous of Marianne's relationship with Charles like in canon, but he also gave Rai his Geass, which went berserk and caused the death of the latter's family. He also put Rai in a Thought Elevator for seven years after that event. Suffice to say, it's satisfying when his attempts to make Lelouch and Rai's life miserable are foiled by the Autobots, and when Shockwave and Megatron kill him repeatedly.
- Airachnid is without a doubt the most vile and hated of the Decepticons in the story. While Megatron and Starscream are quite evil, they do have a few qualities that make them likeable villains. Airachnid on the other hand has no sympathetic traits. She tortures Arcee and tears apart Tailgate, toys with Kallen and Suzaku, and later on massacres dozens of Japanese citizens solely for fun. She later kidnaps Euphemia and thoroughly enjoys making her watch the SAZ Massacre, mocking her pain afterwards. And she's also responsible for Dreadwing's death. She can only be viewed with hatred, disgust, or horror.
- Fairy May Cry.
- Mundus may very well be the vilest character in the setting, (surpassing his game counterpart in that regard) having a hand in the conflict of every arc and causing misery for many people. Pre-series, he killed Sparda's wife Eva and separated their sons, causing Vergil's Start of Darkness, created Trish to kill Dante (making her look like Eva to twist the knife) and sent Nelo Angelo to Edolas to pave the way for his conquest. He is also responsible for Zeref's curse in this continuity and twisting Precht into Lord Hades, commanding him to build a dark guild (Grimoire Heart) in order to awaken Zeref. Only he used them as Unwitting Pawns to get Zeref to accept his curse and become active again. His last words to Hades' lifeless body is just mocking his loyal servant, showing a complete Lack of Empathy.
- Arkham was already a bastard in the games, but here he is somehow even more despicable. He uses Leviatha/Sheeree and Belzebub/Adrian, both children, to achieve his goals, implants a lacrima into Lady as an experiment, and starts a guild war by kidnapping Fairy Tail members. It's no surprise that every member of Fairy Tail hates his guts, with many even willing to suspend their no-kill rule.
- Asmodeua, the Seven Sins sin of Lust, is a sadistic psychopath that revels in inflicting physical and mental torture on her victims, having been an unholy mix of Serial Killer and serial rapist before joining Devil Hand. Unlike some of the other Sins who get some sympathy from Fairy Tail (Leviatha/Sheeree and Beelzebub/Adrian because of their tragic pasts, Iblis and Belphegor from their deaths) she is so vile and monstrous that her demise at the hands of Loke, Lisanna, and Lucy is treated as disposing of a demon.
- Sanctus may very well rival Arkham as one of the most remorseless characters in the story. He doesn't care for any of the people killed for his plans, including children like Katja. He also reveals that he killed Lucy's father Jude to get his clock piece. When he revealed it to Imitatia, she is completely surprised and regretful, which he brushes off as no big deal. When his top enforcer Credo turns against him, he strikes him down without hesitation, and attempts to do the same to the rest of the Order, including Mary, who trusted him completely up to that point. And on top of that, he was not above using Sparda's corpse for his own plans. All of this definitely makes him one of the most vile enemies Fairy Tail has ever faced.
- Danganronpa: Last Hurrah: Jirou Katashi, the second murderer, has the least sympathetic motive for murder in the fic- a desire for recognition and to upstage their younger brother. After hearing the motive, Nao slaps Jirou and angrily says that this doesn't remotely justify the murder, then later describes Jirou as the only killer he doesn't feel sorry for. Jirou appears to show a modicum of a redeeming side before being executed by having a Heel Realization and pointing Nao to a clue to the existence of a murderer in the group, but it later turns out that he survived the execution and is actually the mastermind. He then reveals himself to be a megalomaniac who was responsible for turning the other "remnants of hope" into tyrants that killed anyone who disagreed with them.
- Super Danganronpa Another 2: Kanade Otonokoji, the seemingly sweet and submissive twin to her sister, Hibiki, is revealed to actually be a deranged Serial Killer with an incestuous lust for Hibiki when they're both exposed as the killer in Chapter 3. She is revealed to have murdered or crippled whoever got too close to her sister just so she make her dependent on her and have her all to herself, even outright breaking and conditioning Hibiki to make her a living puppet for her pleasure. She conspires to kill Setsuka just because she could potentially undo the brainwashing she inflicted onto Hibiki, making the latter unconsciously help her in killing Setsuka, and makes her conscious again just so she can revel in her sister's despair. She even burns the note with vital information just to spite the people who exposed her. She's so horrible, that the other students (even the members of Void) are absolutely disgusted with her to the point they don't care one bit when she's executed. The fact she got what she wanted in death makes you hate her all the more.
- Where Talent Goes to Die: Sousuke Kagami, the mastermind behind the killing game. Being in charge of watching one's classmates kill each other is bad enough, but Kagami's motive is exceptionally petty; he'd tried to pass himself off as a great inventor, but was caught in the act, and blackmailed into coming to Talent High School, so they could study his Photographic Memory. Unwilling to accept responsibility for his actions, Kagami sought revenge, and a chance encounter with Junko Enoshima while trying to steal the plans to Hope's Peak's air purfier gave him what he needed to start the killing game. In stark contrast to Enoshima, Kagami refused to play fair, pulling out all the stops during the final trial to ensure that it ended with his classmates being executed, only for Monokuma to betray him and not allow him to vote for despair. In the end, Kagami executed himself, merely to go out on his own terms and not face his punishment.
- Where Talent Goes on Vacation has Yuichi Asakura, the other Ultimate Tech Support. As a result of his rudeness and hostility toward everyone else, none of his classmates like him. The rift between him and the others only grows over time, and after he angers Nagato by insulting her dead best friend, the two have a fistfight. Nagato feels ashamed of herself for resorting to violence against him and sends him an apology letter, which Asakura proceeds to burn. Asakura eventually dies while murdering Karita, and Nagato doesn't care at all about his death, especially not when both murder victims killing each other forces them to sacrifice someone to appease Monokuma's desire for an execution.
- In The Many Dates of Danny Fenton, Dash is an even bigger jerk to Danny than usual, with none of his Pet the Dog moments from the series present. He frequently tries to bully or humiliate Danny while attempting to steal his dates.
- The Yogurt Extended Universe: While this series, and its antagonists vary in tone, Joshie is one of the darker and more detestable examples. In “Joshie’s True Face”, Joshie is revealed to be a former rockstar, Joop Vanderkoerp, who following allegations of sexual misconduct, faked his death and resurfaced as the supposedly kid friendly pop-star, “Joshie”. It’s implied he’s still predatory towards his fans, and when Greg and Holly bring up his past at a Meet and Greet, Joshie immediately threatens them to keep quiet. Fortunately, this Joshie and his secret past exposed as a result.
- The Resurrection of Rose:
- Rose the Hat sheds her redeeming traits upon resurrection by massacring a group of True Knot despite them performing the dark ritual to revive her. She then takes over a Shining trafficking operation where she deprives several True Knot of steam; creates devices to rip the steam out of the children; and devises an orb that drives a small group of True Knots to madness and killing themselves. She abuses her resurrected clan — particularly Crow Daddy — and sacrifices one True Knot to the Overlook Hotel as part of a deal with it. She sends the Overlook to possess Abra Stone into killing her mother out of spite before releasing her legions of brainwashed True Knot onto the town and relishes in the onslaught of carnage. When Crow Daddy escapes assisting Abra and Danny Torrance, Rose tortures Snakebite Andi to extract information from her. Merging with the Overlook Hotel and becoming a large monstrosity, Rose murders Crow Daddy before creating a massive black hole to not only destroy Abra's world but all worlds in the multiverse.
- Upon getting revived by the aforementioned Rose the Hat, Barry the Chunk levels a bridge, endangering dozens of human lives, in an effort to eliminate Abra Stone. He then takes one of Abra's classmates hostage, threatening to throw them out the back window of the bus if she didn't relent. He does so anyway despite her compliance.
- Doki Doki Exit Music: Monika, originally a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, is depicted as a self-important Jerkass who angrily chastises Sayori and Natsuki — making the former burst into tears — and blackmails Yuri, threatening to reveal to the other club members about her habit of cutting herself if she dared to question her position as club president.
- Enemies Within: Evil Sayori note is the amalgamation of all the alternate versions of Sayori merging to form one vengeful being. Upon gaining command control powers, she got her revenge on her dimension's Monika and destroyed the world after collecting a chain of code from it. Arriving to the setting of Doki Doki Literature Girls, Evil Sayori takes the place of the real one and orchestrates events to dismember the Literature Club from the inside. She spreads news of Natsuki being a transgirl on social media climaxing in her expulsion; she then wounds herself and incriminates Yuri of attacking her further driving a wedge in the club. While she claims that she is destroying worlds as a means of punishing Monika for her actions in the main game, it is shown consistently that she actually enjoys the destruction she wrought.
- Never Had a Friend Like Me: Amanda's parents serve this role. Since one of the main protagonists of the story was originally a villain on the show and the other antagonists of the story (Anti-Cosmo, Head Pixie, Bob the boil) don't show up for a while, her parent's treatment of the child gives readers the perfect excuse to utterly loathe them.
- Corrin in Peril portrays all the Nohrian characters as cartoonishly evil sadists who abuse the captive Corrin even when it wouldn't be in character for them to do so, but Laslow gets the worst of this, as he not only physically abuses Corrin, but also rapes her. Possibly because of this, he's one of the few Nohrian characters who actually gets killed off, and is reduced to pleading for his life from Corrin's Hoshidan brothers Ryoma and Takumi before they kill him.
- In Spoiled Rotten, Elizabeth Afton is reinterpreted into a sociopathic Serial Killer who lures younger children to the back rooms to stuff them into springlock suits. When her older brother Michael finds out, she knocks him out and places him into one of the suits. He escapes, but his foot is sliced off by the plastic parts and metal.
- Girls und Panzer - International War Games: Edo. After accidentally bumping into Suzuki from Leopon Team, he calls her a "stupid whore" who he says doesn't know what real combat is, and when she fires back with a brief "The Reason You Suck" Speech, he punches her in the face, leading to a fistfight. After he gets kicked off the team for that incident, along with his poor performance, he retaliates against Kenji, his commander, by maliciously revealing that Kenji is responsible for accidentally killing his younger sister. In the original version of the chapter, Edo even went so far as to call Kenji's dead sister a "whore". As a rude, sexist, violent and not even very useful member of the hohei-do team, Edo's existence is more or less a wake-up call for his team to clean house and get along better with the girls of Oarai.
- Of Blood and Steel has no real antagonist- only rival teams that are portrayed fairly sympathetically. While Jackie Lambert may be less of a jerk than the author intended, and even Erika is significantly nicer than in canon, Jacob Austin is a bully who enjoys pushing others around, taking advantage of his status as the superintendent's son, and no one can stand him.
- Panzer und uni has Isla Sato, who's the commander of the tankery team at the time Miho and Nicholas arrive. She's an arrogant and ill-tempered commander who takes an almost instant dislike to Nicholas (particularly after his group defeats hers in a practice match), plays favorites and is blatantly hypocritical at times (kicking Mako off the team for low blood pressure while Sato herself stays on despite missing drug screenings). The final straw is when Sato orders her crew to fire on Darjeeling's flag tank while Darjeeling herself is in the process of saving Hana's boyfriend Alex (who's on the protagonists' side), endangering both their lives. This earns Sato a punch in the face from the usually calm and even-tempered Hana, and gets Sato kicked off the team, expelled and disowned in rapid succession. Even Sato's younger sister, Megan, calls her sister's action "unforgivable", even if she still cares for her as a sister.
- Abraxas (Hrodvitnon):
- No longer contrasted against the far more pretentious and traitorous Emma Russell, and taking a lot of inspiration from his Adaptational Villainy portrayal in the novelization, Alan Jonah is a cold, ruthless and cruel Smug Snake who has the reborn and fused San and Vivienne locked up, and proceeds to subject them to brutal and cruel experiments just to see what happens. Later, he decides to try breaking Vivienne in so he can use the hybrid as a tool for him to continue thrashing the world with in the name of his hatred for humanity. It's also revealed here that Jonah basically all but allowed his beloved right hand Asher to take a bullet for him in Antarctica in order to save his own skin, and that he's been having the disposable vagrants whom are under his employ "disappeared" (people who only joined him because they had nowhere else to go after losing their homes amidst the Titans' Mass Awakening), so that he and some of his closest goons can subject them to horrific experiments with Ghidorah's DNA which basically turn them into zombies. Both of the latter two things revolt Vivienne, San, and even Jonah's own goons.
- Guard B-04 is a perfect embodiment of Jerks Are Worse Than Villains in this fic. Compared to Jonah, Ghidorah and MaNi, the sum and entirety of this character's onscreen characterization and crimes are him doing nothing but repetitively going out of his way to gleefully and childishly hurl crass and demeaning insults at the traumatized Vivienne-San hybrid whilst it's unable to get to him, pushing Vivienne closer and closer to her Rage Breaking Point and causing San's Big Brother Instinct to flare in defence of her, and he does this for no other reason than his own childish amusement. Compared to the otherworldly Ghidorah and the heinous Jonah, Guard B-04's disgusting actions and bullying are very relatable for anyone who's been on the receiving end of cruel school bullies. Even the aforementioned Jonah gets exasperated with him.
- Ghidorah is responsible for jump-starting almost all of San and Vivienne Graham's pain, and generally the heads all to varying degrees take glee in physically or psychologically hurting something. It relentlessly and viciously tries to get under Viv and San's skin via the Psychic Link. Ghidorah's Evil Plan to undo all of Vivienne's work towards mental recovery and reduce her to an irrevocably Ax-Crazy monster, its willingness to forcibly use her as a monster Baby Factory if it'll make her scream to that end, and its wish to physically separate her from San (with no small amount of needless cruelty) and turn her into Ichi, Ni and San-2's fourth head; all of these go quite a way to purge any Rooting for the Empire tendencies that even a sadistic reader might otherwise have, and they make the reader very much root against Ghidorah and want it to fail in its Evil Plan as well as making Ghidorah quite loathsome.
- As despicable and evil as Ghidorah is, it at least has some admirable traits of elegance and intelligence. MaNi/Elder Brother retains neither of those traits from his three-headed source, and he's a lot more hands-on onscreen with tormenting Vivienne than Ghidorah is with her, whilst having none of Ghidorah's long-term planning nor pragmatism. In the fic's Darkest Hour, MaNi savagely and needlessly tortures San and Vivienne in a way that's deliberately intended to be rape-like, he forces Vivienne to watch him attempting to permanently kill the San half of her in a very select way that will cause both Vivienne and San maximum emotional pain, and he ultimately almost kills Viv and San due to mutilating them too much in sheer Stupid Evil, the latter being something which Ghidorah itself calls MaNi out on. MaNi/Elder Brother doesn't even have any sense of loyalty to Ghidorah going for him, as he would much rather have Vivienne all to himself to abuse endlessly but he doesn't have it in him to rebel against his Eldest Brother's, Ichi's, dominance. MaNi/Elder Brother has earned the Fan Nickname "Grade A GigaBastard Supreme", and his Rasputinian Death is cathartic in so many ways.
- Unless you are on the Light or a really nice traditionalist Witch, Sabbat members in Firebird's Son and its sequels are not meant to be liked, and spent most of their time on screen being so unpleasant that their attempted murders of their own children are on the lower end of the 'hate me' spectrum. It says a lot where Voldemort manages to pull off an Eviler than Thou on them, even after pulling off a lot more moments of Kick the Dog, and it comes off quite clearly with him being the (far) more likable one.
- The New Adventures of Invader Zim:
- Due to being written prior to her canonical Character Development in the movie, Gaz is presented without any positive traits, being a Misanthrope Supreme who doesn't care about her brother's well-being at all, and betrays him at Season 1's climax just to spite one of his friends for daring to call her out about it.
- Arnold Quis is a petty, spiteful Jerkass who is completely self-absorbed and unwilling to ever admit fault, and is defined by a grudge against someone who doesn't know he exists, for purely circumstantial reasons. Word of God is he's based on internet trolls, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he's utterly unlikable.
- Most of the characters in It's not the Raptor DNA have sympathetic elements and understandable reasons for doing what they do, and even the more violent dinosaurs have no human concept of right and wrong. The very premise of the story is based on the Indominus rex, a dinosaur made to be a Living Weapon, making a last-second Heel–Face Turn. Then there's Daemon Bridges, a Corrupt Corporate Executive who abuses animals, mistreats and threatens his employees, leers over Claire, and balances every sympathetic moment he has with a cruel one.
- The Seven Hunters: Calin has absolutely no compassion for anyone, even his 'friends'. His only considerations are for his own benefit and most of the dinosaurs he encounters realize this.
- Wisdom and Courage, the second story of the Bound Destinies Trilogy, has one in the Big Bad Veran, who, unlike the antagonists of the other two stories, has no redeeming qualities at all; she's just an Ax-Crazy, power-hungry sadist who goes above and beyond to Kick the Dog and cause as much death and destruction whenever and wherever possible simply because she thinks it's hilarious. Her list of hate-worthy atrocities includes such gems as placing Link under an enslavement curse that's also slowly killing him, planting a "Take That!" Kiss on Link right in front of Zelda purely to spite the latter, and beating Zelda within an inch of her life during the climax while making Link watch.
- Luan's Problem: Ms. Bitterns is a very nasty elementary teacher who enjoys humiliating and verbally abusing her students. It got to the point that Luan nearly worked herself to death.
- Regrets: Nick Lambert is the primary source of Leni's problems in this story. A popular student and trusted friend of Lori's, Nick sexually assaulted Leni at a party on camera, forcing her to give a "consenting statement" on camera by threatening to harm Lori, to edit a "sex tape" and hold it over Leni's head. Leni never revealed the truth to anyone, with seemingly no one to turn to and the incident left Leni with a Pregnancy Scare, which led to her initial attempt at suicide. When Carol saves Leni and tries to repair her wounds in their relationship, Nick continuously stalks and harasses Leni, simply because he hates seeing her happy and loves seeing her miserable. Nick's thought process elaborates this further; he thinks of himself as some sort of twisted author and wanted to write a tragedy out of Leni's life, and wanted her suicide to be a tragic end. Simply put, Nick is a human representation of how some wounds of depression refuse to heal, constantly haunting Leni as she tries to get her life back together.
- What is a Person Worth?: In a story where a constant theme is that people aren't perfect and make mistakes, but that doesn't make them bad people, Chandler, the essential antagonist of the fic, is the only main character to be an exception. Portrayed as a smug and cruel bully, Chandler initially just picked on Lincoln over his situation, but later crosses a line when he physically attacks Lincoln's six-year-old sister Lana by throwing her into a pond. After this and Chandler's subsequent beatdown goes viral, rather than learn his lesson, Chandler's ego is so wounded he plans to ruin Lincoln's reputation and relationships by framing him for cheating on Ronnie Anne. Failing that, he simply hires out a group of jocks to beat up Lincoln out of spite; he also hires them to attack his former partner Connor to tie up loose ends.
- Lost Trust has the fic's portrayal of Agnes Johnson, who orchestrates the fic's events by forcing Lincoln to stay in class after school, claiming that he "didn't do very well" on a quiz; and proceeds to sexually assault him. When Lincoln tries to get her to give him space, citing that she's making him incredibly uncomfortable, she threatens to flunk him and says that she'll make Lincoln "regret ever opening [his] mouth"; making him believe the assault was his fault and not hers, and that his family will get angry if he says she assaulted him. When Lincoln, with help from Luna, tells his sister Lori what happened, it's revealed that she threatened to hurt both him and his sisters if Lincoln told anybody. Needless to say, when he tells his family what she did, they're all rightfully disgusted with how Agnes' actions affected the sole son of Casa Loud.
- For His Own Sake: In this Deconstruction Fic about female-on-male abuse, most of Keitaro Urashima's abusers become too sympathetic to hate by the end. These four, however, remain unlikeable and unrepentant:
- Naru Narusegawa is depicted here as Keitaro's abusive ex-girlfriend. The primary antagonist, Naru is slowly shown to be the ultimate instigator of Keitaro's Domestic Abuse, often accusing him of being a pervert and violently beating him regardless of his protests and encouraging the other girls to join in. When Keitaro finally leaves to escape the abuse, Naru manipulates Granny Hina into trying to rope him back in. Throughout the fic, while the other girls gradually change out of their bad behaviors, Naru continues to screw herself over and blame everyone but herself for her misfortune, even teaming up with Chisato and Kagura to take revenge on him.
- Chisato Ichimura shows herself to be a loathsome Manipulative Bitch. In the backstory, she attempted to steal a book from her teacher's desk and use it to cheat on the upcoming tests. When confronted by Yoshinari Urashima about it, she convinces Keitaro that he is harassing her. After getting back the book, she sends her thugs to beat up and hospitalize Yoshinari. Eventually, she meets up with Kagura Hajime and Naru, teaming up with them to get further revenge on Yoshinari. Falsely befriending Mutsumi, she uses her to set up a trap for Yoshinari; when he arrives with Nagisa, Chisato orders her thugs to slaughter them, then decides to throw Mutsumi in to die as well.
- The aforementioned Kagura Hajime is Chisato's equally deplorable Rich Bitch friend. She abuses him, kills him in response to a False Rape Accusation, and uses her father's money to buy off lawyers who get it declared an accident. She taunts Nagisa Aoyama, who loved Takeru, whenever they meet. Seeking to destroy Nagisa, Kagura teams up with Chisato and Naru to kidnap Keitaro, Nagisa's boyfriend, and lure her into a trap. She sexually harasses Keitaro while he is tied up, telling him of her plan to make Nagisa jealous when she walks in on them. When the plot fails and police arrive, Kagura abandons her co-conspirators and tries to pin the blame for Takeru's murder on Akemi, showing her complete Lack of Empathy.
- Akemi Kuga is the one who made the False Rape Accusation against Takeru that cost him his life. Though only physically appearing in one scene, she proves herself to be just as horrible as the others. When Mayako traps her and Kagura in a car intending to drive it off a cliff and kill them all, Akemi attempts to put all the blame on Kagura to save herself, and when Kagura yells at her for lying about Takeru, she tries to pass it off as a joke.
- How Bad Can A Little Gossip Be: Mr Ricci's son is an arrogant, entitled and bigoted creep who stalks Luca, never accepts his rejections and mocks him for being a sea monster.
- In Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race, Dr. Wily is written like this on purpose, as the author likes having villains that readers root against. Several other villains also qualify, such as Metal Man and the Conduit, but the biggest example aside from Wily is anti-robot racist William Cochran.
- Many of the antagonists in Miraculous: The Phoenix Rises fall into this; Dr. Nicole Cho, Principal Brad Roy, Maximillian, Gary Mylson, Julian, etc. Ironically, the Big Bad, Forrester, appears to be the exception.
- Chlóe Bourgeois in Scarlet Lady is this. Starting with stealing the Ladybug Miraculous from an oblivious Marinette, she steadily becomes the most hated character in and out of the story (on par with Gabriel Agreste) due to her hypocrisy, her Entitled Bastard attitude, and the fact that she just doesn't care about anyone as long as she gets praised for her work as the titular Nominal Heroine even though she rarely does anything to actually deserve it.
- Poe's Daughter's Mortal Kombat series:
- Grandmaster Oniro is written to be the antithesis to everything Sub-Zero stands for, in which he is fully willing to enslave the clan through the Cyber Initiative and brutally wipe out entire villages to capture their pregnant women, killing them and any female babies out of his own misogyny.
- Rain is, according to the author, written to be the most deplorable antagonist in the entire series, given that he is a Serial Rapist who sold out his own people for the sake of more power under Shao Kahn and later beats and tries to rape Anya.
- Victar's series: This version of Shao Kahn drops all of his canon counterpart's entertaining aspects and more emphasis is placed on how much of a monster he is. The Great War he launched to overthrow Outworld's previous rulers had decimated the realm, wiping out most life there and rendering parts of it into a barren wasteland. He also regularly commits genocide to maintain his rule, exterminating or assassinating anyone who criticizes his rule and regularly culling the general population in his arena to ensure that he doesn't run out of resources to keep his stable regime. After Shang Tsung's failure in the first Mortal Kombat tournament, he sends him to massacre the Shaolin temple to lure them into another tournament in Outworld and kill the Earthrealm warriors there, relishing the torment every character goes through during their journey to Outworld.
- Ignited Spark: Several villains stand out as particularly despicable:
- Vortex only appeared for half a chapter during the prologue arc, and yet it already feels to much. He is a sadistic, annoying and disgusting coward obssessed with two (very well married) heroes that thrieves on bringing destruction around him.
- Daikoku Yaoyorozu. His overall Manipulative Bastard act, not to mention his treatment towards Momo both in the past and the present already paint as disgusting man, capable of making Endeavor and Kotaro Shimura horrible parenting look not as bad by comparison, but once we find out he is a corrupt bastard who is good friends with Re-Destro and is the leader of a terrorist Doomsday cult, before brutally murdering poor Rapt in unnecessarily display of cruelty, really cements him as one of the nastiest villain of the story.
- There's nothing sympathetic about Intelli - she's cruel, manipulative, sadistic sociopath and isn't above using her own half-brother to her own ends and loves to make people she deems inferior to her suffer.
- Toya stands out as one of the biggest examples of it in the story. To put it simply, any remotely sympathethic qualities he had from canon (mostly from before becoming a monster Beyond Redemption) is non-existant in this story. Toya is nothing but a disgusting, arrogant, manipulative, psychotic, self-centered, spiteful bastard who goes out of his way to make torment Shoto for no reason other than some one-sided grudge against his own brother and his father.
- One for All and Eight for the Ninth:
- While all MLA members are a nasty bunch, Curious arguably takes the cake as the most vile one. A sociopathic, petty, condescending and arrogant Smug Snake that revels in the chaos she helps bring around her (and that's not even getting into how she's willing to turn her own foot soldiers into involuntary suicide bombs without a hint of remorse); no wonder seeing Ochako kicking her ass once they finally clash feels so catarthic.
- Nobukazu "Yubi" Sashikuchi, also known as "Fingers". One of Izuku's bullies from back in Junior High, not only he is a massive Quirkist asshole, he is all but confirmed to be jealous of Izuku's newfound popularity, and starts leading an online hate campaign against him with completely false slander and conspiracy theories in a pathethic attempt of one-up his former victim.
- Our New Roommate: Meinu Sasayaki, the main antagonist. A spoiled, bitter and spiteful Gen Ed student who used to bully Setsuna in junior high. After failing to get to Hero Course in both the entrance exam and the Sports Festival, she retorts to become a rumor-spreader against the 1-B girls, who beat her during the festival. She uses her Quirk, Whisper, to spread rumors slut-shaming the girls and make Izuku look like a deviant. She does it because she thinks is fun and because Izuku turned her down once. Sasayaki also hides behind her mother's wealth, who is a member of the U.A. School Board which makes her think she is untouchable. When confronted by Izuku and the girls, she admits feeling no regrets for her actions and proudly boasts about it in front of everyone. Of course, it comes back to bite her pretty hard when Eraserhead and Midnight catch her gloating and make pretty sure her mother's connections won't save her this time around.
- Supporting a Hero:
- This version of Bakugo is nothing but an amoral and cruel sociopath who has zero regards for other people's lives, feeling no regret about Izuku nearly dying due to his suicide bait and attempting to kill him once the Quirkless boy beats him fair and square during the Sports Festival. Naturally, this makes him a perfect recruit candidate for the Meta Liberation Army.
- Native, who is a MLA double agent, only lasts over half a chapter, but it's more than enough to paint him as a despicable, vain and idiotic Glory Hound who only cares about showing off and demands to be respected for the simple reason of existing. You can't help but cheer when Stain shows up and brutally murders him near the end of the chapter.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Ask a Pony: Vicegerent Zathir is racist, cruel, and subjects Twilight to And I Must Scream. It got so bad that people began asking when he was going to get smacked by karma.
- Dr. Jacqueline Dionna Reitman from The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum. While Queen Celestia and the Solar Empire ponies are definitely not slouches when it comes to committing as many war crimes and Moral Event Horizon grade acts as possible, it's made clear that they have all been brainwashed to some extent by an Artifact of Doom with a huge grudge against humanity. Reitman, on the other hand, is a Smug Snake and a Misanthrope Supreme who remorselessly sold her species out for her own selfish reasons, and founded the PER (Ponification for Earth's Rebirth), an Anti-Human Alliance filled with Evil Luddites that are absolutely convinced that ponification will solve all of humanity's problems regardless of any trade-offs.
- Dusk Shine In Pursuit Of Happiness: Rarity's abusive former coltfriend initially acted sweet with her, but started taking advantage of her by stealing her money for his own use. Then, he began cheating on her with other mares and each time Rarity tries to confront him, he either sweet talks to manipulate her into forgiving him or verbally abusing her. When Rarity finally has enough and firmly breaks up with him, he destroys most of her belongings and pushes her against a chair, before leaving and spiting her one last time by spreading lies that SHE was the toxic one in their relationship. His actions end up emotionally scarring Rarity and leaving her incapable of starting another romantic relationship, until she meets Dusk Shine.
- Fall of Starfleet, Rebirth of Friendship: This role is shared between Grand Ruler Celesto and Rhymey. For the former, you will at first hate him for the lengths he goes to undermine his own allies despite them winning his battles just because they aren't his privileged people and aren't fully under his control... and then be utterly disgusted by how deep his Control Freak issues go, and how much he relies on outright brainwashing for everyone, including his closest soldiers. For the latter, the author initially tried to make him sympathetic, as had been done with the rest of Lightning's team, but genuinely couldn't, and found pushing him in the other direction worked better, and he's since been revealed as an unlikable, entitled sociopath who literally has no second thoughts about hurting anyone in order to get what he wants. Turns out it's a family trait. Ironically, Dark Conquest wants to be this in-story since he feeds on hate and grows stronger from it, but since he has much more style and charisma, and is not nearly as much of a hypocrite, he's more entertaining to watch.
- The Flash Sentry Chronicles: Although there are numerous antagonists in this series, they're generally too charming or entertaining to completely hate. Not so much with these characters:
- Like Shade, Dark Mist is a Trickster, but lacks his more entertaining aspects and commits even more deplorable crimes, from trying to enslave and raze an entire settlement of ponies to sacrificing nearly his entire race just to wipe out the Jakhowls. Overall, he's written to be a despicable figure who embodies all of Shade's "values."
- Principal Abacus Cinch, already hateable in the canon series, is even worse here. On top of blackmailing Sci-Twi into joining the Friendship Games, she also threatens to kick Human Flash Sentry out of Crystal Prep if they should lose. She later gloats about this to Flash and plans to pressure Sci-Twi into unleashing Equestria magic to win the Friendship Games, locking him and his friends in a room to prevent them from interfering.
- Shadow Corrupter's parents initially seem like kind folk, but they're actually malicious worshipers of the Corrupted Shadow and intended to make the readers sympathize with Shadow. To create a vessel for the Corrupted Shadow, they gave birth to Shadow on the same day that their god was destroyed and, on his thirteenth birthday, lured him into a forest and they, along with the rest of the cult, cut him with sacrificial knives to initiate the ritual. Not much sympathy is to be had when the ritual backfires and Shadow kills them.
- Haut Monde was designated to be married to Tempera, but on their first date, he's revealed to be a narcissist who's only interest is to talk about his own business ventures. When Tempera reveals her interest in art, Haut immediately denounces her talent as "rubbish" and goes on a misogynistic tirade about how all mares, including Tempera, should Stay in the Kitchen and perform domestic duties exclusively. It's hard to blame Tempera when she gets angry with him and throws a drink in his face.
- In the "Pandemic" stories What You are Meant to Be and Picking Up the Pieces Swift Strike is possessive and abusive, never showing any of the charms that abusive spouses also use. Then again, becoming a night pony may have affected him mentally, by removing the fear that made him want to use a charm offensive. Then he raped Phobia.
- RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: In "Contest of Champions", the actual villains of the piece are mysterious and shadowy, leaving their goals unknown. In the meantime, there's Fu Ling, Empress of the Shouma, who seems to delight in finding new ways to be the absolute worst being alive, generally in the form of severe emotional abuse towards her daughter, not showing even the tiniest smidgen of affection, or anything that could even be mistaken for it, nearly leading said daughter to nearly kill herself and the Element Bearers trying to get mommy's respect.
- One recurring element of the My Little Pony fanfics by RealityCheck is the appearance of a small-time bad guy (often a haughty aristocrat with a disdain for the "lower classes") who acts in the most obnoxious and unsympathetic way possible, makes the heroes' life miserable, then is thoroughly punished via a Humiliation Conga within a chapter or two. For example, The Great Alicorn Hunt includes some spoiled noble kids who bully the Cutie Mark Crusaders and are punished by being forced to work at Applejack's farm. Another example from the same story is Windy City's incompetent, corrupt Obstructive Bureaucrat of a mayor.
- Loved and Lost: While Prince Jewelius' role is to make sure that Twilight's friends, brother and mentor are punished more severely for abandoning her at the wedding rehearsal and inadvertently letting the Changelings attack Canterlot than they do in canon, he is written to be as cruel, sadistic, petty, and remorseless as possible so that the reader can still sympathize with/root for the heroes who are wracked with guilt and determined to atone for their mistakes.
- Deconstructed in a sense in Pony POV Series. The story takes place before Diamond Tiara is redeemed in canon... with the canon universe being firmly established as the 'core' universe all realities are variances of. Diamond Tiara is initially manipulated by pre-redemption Discord into helping free him again, exposing her to the eldritch truth of her existence as a hate sink which leaves her dead inside. Then when her redemption happens in canon... by having all her sins pinned on her mother... she decides to become as horrible a monster as possible that the heroes will HAVE TO kill her so her mother will never have to retroactive become the horrible nag her mom is in canon. Subverted ultimately, as her mother flat out refuses this fate and Diamond is redeemed in the end.
- In The Liar, all of the important ponies in Trixie’s life before she met Night Mare are practically written for the purpose of making the reader hate them with a burning passion while wanting to give Trixie a hug. It really says a lot that Night Mare herself comes across as less despicable than them. Even if she has ulterior motives, at least she never lies to Trixie or pretends to care about her before stabbing her in the back. Even worse, as far as we know, none of those ponies ever received any retribution for what they did to Trixie (when she was a child, no less). The reader’s only consolation is that now that she’s the apprentice of Night Mare, someday she might come back and get her well-deserved revenge on them.
- Trixie’s father, descendant of a famous family of magician unicorns, tried to force his daughter to learn magic in order to continue the family tradition, calling her lazy and stupid when she couldn’t even make a feather float. When a doctor confirmed that Trixie would never be able to perform magic, her father screamed at her, called her a waste of years of his life and a waste of a unicorn, and yelled that her mother’s death in childbirth was for nothing because she died giving birth to “a piece of trash”. Heartbroken, Trixie ran away from home. Unfortunately, the next place she ended up at was not any better.
- Everypony at the orphanage that Trixie ended up in, including the foals who bullied her every single day, and the matron who did nothing to stop them. But the most despicable of these foals is Snowbank, a colt who pretended to be nice to Trixie to gain her trust and then framed her for beating the crap out of a filly named Peach Blossom (who is no victim, either—she cooperated with his plan, letting him cast a spell to put fake bruises on her body). His plot worked flawlessly, because the matron didn’t even try to look for proof that Trixie was the one who hurt Peach before throwing her out onto the streets. The worst part? Snowbank did all of this just so he could increase his popularity with the other foals, who all hated Trixie and wanted her gone. Despite his young age, his actions easily qualify as a Moral Event Horizon.
- Echoes (Kagaseo):
- Behind his status as a Konoha jounin, a philanthropist and the founder of an orphanage, Kenta Ayatsuri experiments on children, turns them into Tyke-Bombs or into prostitutes to fund his activities. Raising Kakashi after his father's death, he turned him into a child soldier, and out of spite towards Minato when the latter took Kakashi away from him, sold information to Iwa and orchestrated Obito's death. Kidnapping a pregnant Rin in the Wave-Verse after she married Kakashi, he killed the baby and tortured Rin to death. In the Alive!Yondaime verse, Kenta is introduced sending his dogs to maul a young Kin to death because she cried when he gave her to a brothel. Kidnapping Alternate!Rin, he blamed her for taking Kakashi away from "his rightful owner" and tried to kill her. He later revealed that he committed all of this to turn Kakashi into his "masterpiece", and so that he will be remembered. When Kakashi replies that he will do everything to forget him, a spiteful Kenta attempts to kill him and Rin. AM hypocrite, he claimed that bonds with others were useless, while constantly using others to fulfill his ambitions.
- In Kitsune's world, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha have none of their canon counterpart's qualities. Forced in a political marriage despite hating each other, they grew jealous of Minato and Kushina's happy marriage, (especially Mikoto, because Kushina rejected her advances) and revealed their location to Amaterasu (Kitsune's World!Madara Uchiha), during Kushina's pregnancy, leading to the Kyuubi attack, resulting in Minato and Kushina's sacrifice and countless deaths in Konoha. They later plot a coup against Konoha, supposedly for the good of the Uchiha clan, but Fugaku in truth doesn't care about the clan, not even telling them of his role in Konoha's attack, and just wants power for himself, not caring about who lives and who dies in their coup attempt. While Fugaku was uneasy about handing over a Jinchuuriki, Mikoto happily promised to give Kitsune to Amaterasu as a weapon out of spite towards Kushina. Even Amaterasu, one of the main villains, is disgusted by their actions, and call them out on it, to no avail. Fugaku and Mikoto end up being so despicable they're responsible for everything bad in Kitsune's world.
- In the "Ame-Verse", Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, also lacks his canon counterpart's redeeming qualities, leaving only a murderous Social Darwinist. Willingly starting the canon graduation program in Kiri's Ninja Academy consisting of students killing each other (to weed out the weak in favor of the strong), Yagura sent his "Blood Police" kill any "weak" civilian, shinobi and clansman, and also plans a genocide against anyone who's unlucky enough to have a bloodline. Allying with Ame's Hanzo, he chose to kill Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, not due to his alliance with Hanzo, but because he hated them, stating that he would have killed them even if he wasn't allied with Hanzo. After killing Yahiko, he laughed while Konan cried, and mocked Hanzo when the latter also regretted having to send Yahiko to his death. When challenged alongside Hanzo to a fight by Kazama and Tsukiyomi, he accepted and later came close to killing part of the audience during one of his attacks, and released the Sanbi out of spite when Kazama defeated him.
- In the "Road to Ninja" verse, Obito Uchiha discards his canon counterpart's likable traits. Winning against the Shinobi alliance, Obito launched the Infinite Izanagi technique, killing everyone in his world, and creating a new world in his image, where he creates people. While claiming that he respected Naruto and regretted to kill him, it is only Moral Myopia as he is an emotionally Abusive Parent to Menma Uzumaki, Naruto's alternate counterpart, and he can't even bother to care about the people he personally knew and ruined, much less for the people he murdered who he did not know personally, failed to replace them in his new world, citing them as unneeded or unimportant. His entire fighting style is bullying, and to gain a small psychological advantage against Kazama, he wipes out his own world's Konoha, not caring for his own creations. When it's pointed out his wife, Rin, was there, Obito replies that he doesn't care, as he can always recreate her. His pettiness is upped to eleven as he plans to spread the Infinite Izanagi in the multiverse, despite already having a personal paradise.
- True Potential: Karitoriki, after losing his family and friends in the destruction of his home village by a bloodline clan, entered Kiri's ranks to become a shinobi, and eventually became the "Bloodline Hunter", gleefully joining Yagura in his Final Solution plans against every single bloodline wielder. A merciless executioner, he loves to torture his subjects. Introduced taking advantage of a civilian village's toxic hatred of people with Bloodline Limits, he plans to execute 5 bloodline wielders, one of them being a child, whom he taunts about her parents' death and the destruction of her clan. When Shikamaru, Honoka, Kiri (a character, not the village) and Haku attempts to crash the execution and rescue the 5 persons, Karitoriki (after being freed from Honoka's chains by Guren), having placed explosives inside the 5 bloodline wielders' hearts just in case, spitefully blow them up, killing them all and only regretting that he was unable to torture them. Despite his tragic past, no one is sympathetic, with Suigetsu pointing out Karitoriki made him go through a similar tragedy when executing his brother.
- War of the Biju: Tobi slaughtered one branch of the Uchiha Clan because of no other reason than that he wanted to, murdered an aging Madara in his sleep to hijack his plan, murdered poor Obito for his eye, caused Kurama's attack on Konoha, framed the other branch of the Uchiha Clan for it, etc. You know you're evil when Madara is not only willing to make a Heel–Face Turn against you, but team-up with Hashirama to stop you. Hagoromo even wonders how someone so evil could even exist.
- Hands (OMORI): In sharp contrast to her canonical self, Mari is depicted as a sexually abusive Big Sister Bully to Sunny who's predations are played seriously, horrifically traumatizing Sunny. She is shown to be nothing but a Manipulative Bitch who has no genuine emotional connections with anyone, only seeing her supposed friends as potential victims. Her death at the hands of Sunny accidentally pushing her down the stairs, in response to her trying to rape him again, thus becomes a Karmic Death, and even her friends turn on her the moment they realize the truth about her.
- Time to Disinfect: There's no real "bad guy" in the conflict between Mari and Sunny, with both of them having sympathetic reasons for their behavior. The same can't be said for their mother, Rin, who's depicted as an emotional abuser. Her every major scene shows her as a petty, self-centered ableistnote responsible for destroying Mari's self-esteem, making her an easy target for the audience's ire.
- A Comedy of Errors: Hook here is stripped of his redeeming qualities and is instead presented as a petty cowardly man who thinks it's okay to force Emma to love him with magic.
- Pokémon Reset Bloodlines:
- Joshua from the Summer Camp Oneshot, who establishes himself early on as an unrepentant jerkass and goes on from there. By the end of the story, it's clear he's also an unrepentant cheater.
- Dario. While his actions in the main story are off-screen, the Big P Pokémon Race one-shot makes it quite clear he's just as unrepentant a cheater as in canon who not only puts his fellow racers in serious danger but when he loses he has the gall to accuse Ash of cheating. Needless to say when Sabrina gets her hands on him and snaps his neck, his fate is well deserved.
- Ash's father. It's made quite clear in the narrative that he is not a good guy in the narrative for a variety of reasons. Delia refuses to acknowledge him as Ash's father, Gary, deep in his jerk phase, would give him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech over his actions, and not only is it hinted he's a criminal whose fellow brothers/criminals have shown themselves to be incredibly violent and unstable, but it's implied that he has hundreds of illegitimate children like Ash who he never cared for everywhere.
- Damian was pretty much a Jerkass in canon, but the Charmander Gaiden one-shot shows the full extent of how he treats his Pokémon when they don't live up to his expectations. Even Team Rocket was appalled by this behavior.
- Pokémon Retold: Black:
- Ghetsis was already a vile piece of work in canon, but here he manages to one-up his game incarnation in all sorts of ways. Along with his emotional and verbal abuse of N, he enjoys terrorizing and anyone who earns his ire nearly to death, if not for the fun of it. He's also N's biological father, and abandoned him in the Giant Chasm in his early childhood so he could groom him into becoming his perfect pawn. And if that wasn't awful enough, he conceived N while his mother was a teenager.
- Hil's mom Amber initially seems like a cold, but reasonable parent. But soon it's revealed that she was a major driving force in driving her husband to suicide thanks to her cruel and callous attitude during his downward spiral, and she suddenly becomes a lot more hateable. Thanks to her antagonistic behavior and transformation into a self-pitying shrew, she alienates her son and causes him to verbally tear her a new one before leaving without a shred of remorse.
- Ultra Eclipse's version of Faba establishes himself as a real piece of work in his first chapter. Not only is he a smug, self-important blowhard who casually threatens to fire an Aether Foundation employee for not addressing him by his title, but he's introduced having his Hypno strangle the adorable and sympathetic Lillie nearly to death with its psychic powers for trying to save Nebby from the Foundation's cruel experiments.
- Power Rangers GPX: Sakura Miyazawa is the Evil Matriarch of the Rangers' primary funders and the Pink Ranger's grandmother. She quickly proves herself to be a racist old hag (as the Rangers call her) and gives said Pink Ranger a Breaking Speech including wishing she'd never been born, leading to a brutal case of Break the Cutie combined with Heroic BSoD. Luckily, she gets better, undergoing amazing Character Development and telling her off.
- Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness is filled with characters that fit the criteria:
- The original Jovian and Jacqueline who work for Hokuto; they were Psychopathic Manchildren who's list of atrocities includes raping and torturing Felucia to the point of Sanity Slippage, molesting Kyouko twice, and leveling most of Tsukune's hometown to the ground and killing numerous innocents For the Evulz. Needless to say, upon their deaths, all of Tsukune's gang rejoices.
- The original Falla. She sent her own little sister to her death out of spite and slaughtered her entire species and destroyed her hometown in a fit of rage, all simply because she was denied what she believed was her right to rule the chronofly kingdom, and is above all else a smug Jerkass who believes It's All About Me and has a Lack of Empathy that's borderline sociopathic. No one has any sympathy to spare for her both times she dies, with her Good Counterpart declaring her to be nothing but a blight on their world.
- Arial Kuyumaya is a rare heroic example; though she's shown in-universe to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, her more Jerkass qualities, such as her bitchiness towards Mizore and her dangerous temper, tend to outshine her redeeming aspects and can cost her the sympathy of many.
- Jenner Rythmore, the former head of the HDA. Every time he appears, he takes the time to rant about his distrust of monsters in the most Jerkass way possible. In a nutshell, every single moment of his screen time seems devoted to making the readers cheer when Ceal throws his racist ass to Babylon's dragon in early Act VI.
- "Breaking the generational cycle" Queen Nerissa is an emotionally abusive mother who later disowns and banishes her daughter Chelsea for failing her mission and falling in love with Ruby, before ordering the other mermaids to kill her. Her plan to reawaken the leviathan will not only exterminate the krakens but also risk the mermaids as well, claiming it would all be worth it in the end so long as she gets her revenge.
- The Makings of Team CRME:
- My Name Is Cinder: Brigit Stark is Cinder's abusive mother, thoroughly detestable and lacks any redeeming qualities. She is nothing more than a selfish, manipulative Gold Digger who drove her clinically depressed husband to suicide to get his money. She also abused Cinder for no other reason than attempting to expose Brigit's true nature before she could get her husband to kill himself. She also manipulated Cinder's siblings into hating her to justify the abuse. She’s the only villain in the story designed to draw hatred from the readers. Her death was extremely horrifying, but knowing what kind of person she was, it's not tough to think that she earned that fate.
- The Black Hearts: Mercury Black's parents SUCK. Even one of the tags for the story says they're assholes, and there's no attempt to make them seem even remotely sympathetic. Not only is Marcus a murderous maniac, but he is also a shameless abuser who treats his family like crap for the heck of it and seems to enjoy being a horrible person to people as shown when he gloats about being hired by Cobalt's father to torture his mother. He's nothing more than an abusive sadist, something Mercury calls him out on when Marcus tries to justify his "training". He only uses it to beat his son and doesn't even genuinely teach anything. And this small offense is enough for him to attempt to murder his own son. And Melanie, even though she is also being abused by Marcus, doesn't get a lot of sympathy points. She passes the abuse along to Mercury and makes him feel horrible about it as well. Not to mention that she is a serial cheater and has no problem with her husband's profession. Being a raging homophobe also adds to this. Even her appearance in CRME shows that even though she looked like she cared about Mercury's well-being, she threatened to kill him while he was in the hospital for not coming with her. Everything about them is designed to draw ire from the readers, and unlike other villains in the series, they have no natural charisma to soften the blow of their reprehensible nature. Making it even more of a relief when they get killed.
- Nora's Life: General White was not made to be likable. Even his own soldiers hate him and turn on him in the climax. Watts was even planning to kill him as well, though only because he thought Atlas would screw with his plans. He does, however, refer to Hayden as a pig after hearing about his crimes.
- Relic of the Future: Alexander Nikos is easily the single most hated character in the story despite having only a few scenes. He seems designed to fill the roll Mr. Schnee would normally fill (abusive rich father figure), but impossibly he comes off as even more vile then Jacques Schnee's canon portrayal.
- Ruby and Nora: The series does have a knack for making reprehensible antagonists, but there are some that manage to stand out for their sheer loathsomeness. Listed in order of their first appearance:
- Pyrrha's Past: Atlas Colonel Lyra Nikos is the first true Hate Sink. Unlike Keter and Abigal, she has absolutely no likable or entertaining qualities and only exists to be hated. Being an abusive parent to Pyrrha and killing her father, torturing Faunus simply because of her Fantastic Racism, and torturing and killing children just for attempting to expose her.
- Field Trip:
- Father Tiresias Scorch is the new spiteful leader of the White Fang. From his homophobia and Fantastic Racism to his willingness to kill his own people for not living up to his standards, Scorch isn't someone who is made to be likable. Him killing Ilia and Ren out of spite only cinched him as a pathetic and spiteful coward, making his demise fully deserved.
- Adam Taurus is once again set up to be one for fervently buying into Scorch's rhetoric. He is an immature asshole who mocks Ilia for having to kill her lover. He also hates Blake for being gay because he couldn't have her.
- There is practically nothing to like about Jacques Schnee. He is a Corrupt Corporate Executive who abuses his family and coldly dismisses his daughter's death — years after he threatened to kill said daughter. He looks down on others and sees them as tools for his benefit while showing no remorse for how he treats people. His destruction of Menagerie and the takeover of Atlas firmly set him into irredeemable territory. Everything in Cold only shows him to be a loathsome human being when he has several people killed for defying him, lobotomizes Faunus for labor, plans to do the same to Winter, and later reveals the reason that Willow is a hedonist was that he set her up to be raped by women initially to manufacture that image. These actions were only nails in the coffin and his death is nothing short of cathartic.
- Raven Branwen seems to have been made as unlikable as possible. Not only is she a ruthless bandit who kills others or sells them to slavery, she is also a cowardly snake who would abandon her own tribe to save her own skin. She is also a Domestic Abuser who takes out her frustrations on Vernal even though she is nothing but loyal to her. STRQ especially shows this by displaying that she plays with others' emotions for her benefit and without regard for others. It's nothing short of satisfying when Summer kills her after her final betrayal.
- Crash: Raion is a Kuroyuri street vendor and genuinely detestable for such a small-time character. He is utterly loathsome in his entire appearance by looking down on Nora for being poor. Li and An Ren know that he's a scumbag, and that's before he ends up selling out the village to Raven for her to catch Nora after the girl escaped her last raid. The parents never imagined that he would stoop that low.
- RWBY: Destiny of Remnant: Saul Jude. Ruining Ashe's life and trying to make him suffer as much as possible out of spite will give you little reason to like this guy.
- Out of all the villains that are in Vale's Underground, the one that outshines them all is Cardin Winchester. Despite not being as evil as any of the other antagonists, his unpleasant attitude, homophobic and chauvinistic behavior, and selling out to the Big Bad marks him as the most hateable character in the work. And that says a lot when the story has two Serial Rapists, a homophobe who sexually abused her brother to make him straight, and an admitted child molestor. Yet they do not draw the same amount of ire as Cardin.
- This is making a move: Mr. Walker is the adoptive father of Charlie Walker. Mr. Walker physically and sexually abused his biological son Kris, resulting in Kris drowning himself in a lake at the age of 13. Several years later, Mr. and Mrs. Walker adopted Charlie and Mr. Walker repeated the pattern with Charlie by physically and sexually abusing him, which drove him to become Jill Roberts' accomplice when she offered him a scrap of kindness. Overall, Mr. Walker is the primary instigator behind most of Charlie's psychological issues and it's clear that before long, he would be released from prison to torment more children.
- In chapter 3 of SlifofinaDragon's modern day fanfic Is this a Dream or is this really Happening?, while we may have some likeable antagonists to appear in some parts, Tokyo police chief Wakamatsu Akiichiro certainly stands out. He attempts to have Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura's son Masa detained or terminated when the latter's black hands go out of control, initially we'd think he'd be out of line, but later on, he's a real worm when he falsely imprisons Masa and breaks a necklace that Oyamada Nobushige had given him for the hell of it. Not only that, but he also injures fellow officer Azai Nagamasa and Nobushige (indirectly) for interfering in his plans, so it's certainly justified that Masa's hands make short work of Wakamatsu.
- Our Blades Are Sharp: Ramsay Snow proves to be just as vile and depraved as both his canon counterparts. A Serial Killer and Serial Rapist, he roams the lands under the Dreadfort's jurisdiction for two years, raping and murdering anyone he and his gang the Bastard's Boys come across, then either flaying them or giving their corpses to be raped by his necrophiliac henchman Reek. Ramsay's goal is to murder his legitimate half-brother Domeric and succeed their father Lord Roose Bolton as Lord of the Dreadfort. To that end, he murders his mother and burns down his home to fake his death, a crime so deplorable that Lord Bolton has him neutralized as a threat and tortured for the rest of his days. Inspiring fear and hatred in all that knew of him, Ramsay ensured none would mourn his demise.
- Robb Returns:
- Ser Willem Bootle is a Riverlands knight known across three kingdoms as a ne'er-do-well who alienated all his neighbors. Looking to pay back a debt, Bootle travels to his cousin Lord Torgen Surestone's keep, whereupon he poisons Lord Surestone and declares himself lord on account of his gender, then proceeds to seize the estate and evict Surestone’s daughter Dacey, the rightful heir. It's revealed later that Bootle ordered an innkeeper named Edwyn Dickon to keep her at his inn and turn her into a prostitute to keep her from contesting his title. Upon his capture, Bootle declares that he should have been heir because Dacey is a bookish girl and remains defiant up until he attempts to swear his innocence on the Fist of Winter, which judges him guilty and strikes him down; his lies literally killed him.
- The aforementioned Edwyn Dickon is an innkeeper who is incapable of dealing honestly with anyone. Ordered by Ser Willem Bootle to turn Dacey into a prostitute, Dickon drives up unreasonable prices for board and medicine, insinuating that there are "other ways" to pay back her debt. Dickon makes the mistake of trying to cheat a wealthy merchant and making advances on his wife; the wife punches him, he falls into a full bucket of slops and drowns, And There Was Much Rejoicing. After his death, it's revealed that he stole something from everyone at the inn. In general, Edwyn Dickon was A Dick in Name and deed.
- The Saddest Love Story In Westeros: Aegon Targaryen, later King Aegon IV "The Unworthy", was a man ruled only by his insatiable appetites. Marrying his sister Naerys on their father Viserys' orders, Aegon attempted to force their brother Aemon, who loved Naerys, to participate in the bedding ceremony; Naerys' cries nearly prompted Aemon to draw his sword on Aegon in his anger before being talked down by their uncle King Aegon III. Many would agree that Aegon's actions were a very low blow. Throughout their marriage, Aegon routinely humiliated Naerys by parading his mistresses in front of her and raped her almost every night despite her protestations and ill health. After Aegon became King many years later, he hired a man named Ser Morgil Hastwyck to spread rumors that Naerys and Aemon were having an affair, leaving Ser Morgil to die when Aemon challenged and killed him. Aemon is killed by two men trying to avenge their brother's death at King Aegon's hands, but Aegon showed no respect for his brother's loss and only agreed to a funeral because of public outcry; this is when the epitaph "the Unworthy" is attached to Aegon. Naerys' friend Lyssa showed up at the capital to pay her respects, only to leave when Aegon showed sexual interest in her barely pubescent daughter. Naerys reveals that the night after Aemon won a tournament and honored Naerys, Aegon raped her that night just to make her feel bad.
- In the High School AU ask blog "Ask Marsh and Broflovski", Eric Cartman is even more of this than he is in canon. He's upgraded to the story's Big Bad and his entire role in the story is manipulating Stan and Kyle and trying to drive them both over the Despair Event Horizon solely because he hates Kyle that much. Even Kenny and Butters end up admitting that they hate his guts.
- Lex Talionis: Eric Cartman is much more vile here than he was canon. With his Irrational Hatred for Kyle Broflovski developing into a twisted lustful obsession, he kidnaps Kyle to make him his "fiancé" before imprisoning and raping Kyle for ten years. He would also rape Tweek to keep him quiet about the incident and is implied to be a Serial Rapist have also raped Butters, Tomas, and Christophe. Cartman's atrocities would be discovered by Stan Marsh who murders him for his depravities while his death is mourn by none.
- My Super Best Friend has Eric Cartman. Since this fic takes place after season 21, Cartman is made to be as unlikable as possible for not only being a petty and bigoted jerkass making the lives of his fellow peers very difficult, but also for his past abuse of Heidi which affected other characters, namely Kyle. Unlike Stan and Heidi, Cartman shows no remorse for his role that led to Kyle indirectly getting Canada nuked, and attempts to hinder Kyle's attempt to help Canada recover just to spite him. This makes the fact that Kyle brutalizes Cartman as payback for all the torment Cartman has subjected on him all the more satisfying.
- Inkopolis Chaos:
- Scarlet is portrayed as an absolutely horrible person with no present redeeming qualities. She is first introduced bullying Melody, then gets very hostile towards Samuel and Luke when they stand up against her. She then beats Samuel up in a forest as petty revenge, and when Natalie comes, she begins making racist comments towards her, making her even more unlikeable. She remains as a sadistic and racist bully for the first half of the first story, but then gets even worse in the second half, where she starts committing actual crimes, mainly torturing Natalie out of pure sadism and vengeance, and if that wasn’t bad enough, her actions in the third story where she slaughters a bunch of random people, including a child, should be enough to prove how she was intended to be as unlikeable as possible.
- Jack Gladio is a lackey to Scarlet, and definitely the nastiest. While not as hateable as his boss, he still helps her out with her bullying, and is shown to be an aggressive person in general, even trying to kill Natalie by throwing her off a cliff, while referring to her as “octo scum”. Unlike James and Jess, he never abandons Scarlet or redeems himself, and even calls the heroes “soft and pathetic” in the ending book, showing he’s not changed a bit.
- Magentark Clover gaslighted his brother into hating octolings, was responsible for Natalie being framed, tried to kill a dozen octolings, and even in death, his actions haunt the story, with Cyalux being so stubborn in believing octolings were bad, and Ruby feeling responsible for everything. Heck, even Ruby’s emotional breakdown in the oneshot “A Burden To Bear” really solidifies this guy as a scumbag, even though we never see him.
- Queens of Mewni:
- Swan Redbird, cousin and Toxic Friend Influence of Venus the Fairest, is absolutely loathed by the fandom because of her influence on Venus and Venus's hypersexual nature, by showing Venus her first Primal Scene (at nine), taking her virginity (at 12), and making sexual bets with her, causing Venus to put her pleasure over ruling the Butterfly Kingdom properly when she ascended the throne. Oh, and also there that Swan committed Brother–Sister Incest, conceived children with them, and poisoned her brother Rooster when he threatened to tell Venus. Some fans have even gone so far as to blame Swan for the entirety of the Dark Ages, as Venus had been a Star Queen, prophesied to usher in a new age for Mewni, and history could have gone in a very different direction if Venus hadn't been corrupted so young.
- There's not much love left for Nixie the Queen Poisoner once everyone found out that not only did she poison her sister Hemera the Builder, Hemera's husband (and Nixie's one time crush), and her own husband, she caused Hemera to miscarry three times.
- Jimmy's Visit With Dr. Franklin: Ebon, he is even worse than in canon since he not only kidnapped Jimmy and his twin brother, Johnny, he also tortured Johnny for hours until he died and forced Jimmy to watch him be tortured which indirectly caused Richie to get shot. He also lacks any of the cool traits that his original self had and doesn't even care about his fellow Meta-Breed members.
- No one said life was easy: Alexandra is little more than a bully, calls Malachite "Stripes" as an insult, and calls the agender Smoky a girl straight to their face.
- We Are The Chatroom Gems: Limone is an Alpha Bitch who picks on her foster sister, Peridot, and Yella Diamond is not only abusive but also a homophobe and possibly an ableist.
- We Can Be Heroes! (Steven Universe): While most of the Kazkani 500 do genuinely love each other, top enforcer Jowls is as unlikable as it gets. Aside from the way she bullies her subordinates -one being her own son - and abuses her hounds, she's incredibly cruel to child slave Tadd Spadeclaw, often going out of her way to antagonize him while threatening him with physical violence for the smallest infractions. Fittingly, Jowls' defeat is incredibly humiliating, and has Lapis smashing her through a ceiling into unconsciousness while she's freaking out at the rest of her family.
- Flowey is Not a Good Life Coach: The titular Flowey lacks the sympathetic qualities of his canon counterpart. Having grown bored in one of his latest runs, Flowey decides to psychologically torment Papyrus, who sees him as a friend, under the guise of training. He challenges Papyrus to fight for his life, killing him and resetting whenever he fails and punishing him by slowly breaking his body parts if he refuses. Flowey tells Papyrus to keep the training a secret, threatening his loved ones if he does not comply. Flowey spends the story slowly breaking down Papyurs and turning him into a shadow of his former self, causing Papyrus to lash out at his loved ones and become distant from them. When Sans is falsely accused of abusing Papyrus by Undyne and imprisoned, Flowey laughs before taking the opportunity to give Papyrus his final challenge- to kill an innocent monster. When Papyrus warns the snowdrake instead and refuses to kill the Moldsmal, Flowey offs the latter himself. Finally, when Sans shows up to recuse Papyrus, Flowey makes a final attempt to kill them both, and when Papyrus slays him, he congratulates the latter for finally killing someone. A bloodthirsty sociopath who torments his so-called 'best friend' for fun, Flowey completely abandons the kindness he had as Asriel.
- Across the Years: Beckett "Beck" Oliver is the emotionally abusive husband of Victoria, who lacks his canon counterpart's good qualities. He cheated on her repeatedly and made her isolate herself from the ones she loved. He's also a manchild, who stole from his father and killed a man who tried to testify against him. A petty and misogynistic man who is strongly hinted at being Jack the Ripper, Beck is a pathetic domestic abuser.
- The Judgement of the World (5Ds):
- Divine was already one in canon, but here, he shows he can be a Manipulative Bastard even from jail. When Carly visits him, he gives her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and reveals the crimes she committed as a Dark Signer, causing her to doubt herself and Jack to subconsciously blame Aki for it, thus creating a small rift among the Signers. It's also revealed that he's responsible for Black Rose Dragon's constant Ax-Crazy state (though she admittedly wasn't entirely there beforehand), and it's implied he was secretly pulling the strings in the Arcadia Movement even prior to his escape from prison, including by planning a Cruel and Unusual Death for Yusei at the hands of a Brainwashed and Crazy Aki, both out of revenge against Yusei and to make Aki lash out at the world in her grief.
- Isao Yoshifumi becomes this after he's revealed to have been Evil All Along and a spy for Divine. All his interactions with Aki's social circle take a darker tone, as he was only pretending to be a friend to them and help Aki readjust to school life so that he could get close to her and bring her under the Arcadia Movement's control. He dismisses the his countless fellow Arcadia Movement members who were killed by Divine for not being powerful enough as "noble sacrifices" and helps carry out Divine's abovementioned plan of a Cruel and Unusual Death for Yusei. It's also implied that he murdered an innocent women to fake a death.
- Surprisingly, Judai is supposed to be this, at least prior to Yubel's first attack. His lack of concern about school and his career is portrayed unsympathetically, and he has trouble respecting others' privacy, with his constant hounding of Aki to materialize Duel Spirits depicted as borderline harassment. He shows little consideration of Asuka's feelings, resulting in her getting hurt and humiliated several times before she gives up on him. Perhaps worst of all, he enjoys giving play-by-plays of Duel Spirits fighting each other outside of duels, even though it's made clear that these fights are an extension of the bullying that goes on at school, and that the students often feel awful learning that their Duel Spirits are getting hurt on account of them. Granted, this is all heavily downplayed by the fact that Judai is stated to still be an overall Nice Guy despite being portrayed negatively in nearly all his appearances, with most of his flaws caused by him being Innocently Insensitive and having No Social Skills.
