He has the power to expel any student he wants if he thinks they are "lost causes" based on how they can touch their toes and throw a ball and expects the students in his care to have 100% control and all of their potential already unlocked when the society they live in forbids them from using such abilities in public. For what he lacks in providing morale for the lack of energy he brings to the classroom he makes up by providing more criticisms than he does positive feedback. He has his students thrown into tests - both short term quizzes and incredibly important licensing exams - on subjects he had not even taught them, expecting them to figure it out for themselves. His students have been put in danger multiple times on his watch and he has done nothing for their mental and emotional wellbeing, convinced that they will get over it and not bothering to call a councilor, and even has two of his students punished when they start acting out directly because of it. This all points to a lazy, entitled man who takes credit for creating prodigal graduates from the school, all the while accusing his students of being lazy and entitled themselves. Shoto Aizawa/Eraserhead, My Hero Academia
  • He constantly endangers everyone in his town with his hair-brained schemes and faulty inventions and is able to get away with it (minus a few stern lectures) because he is nobility. He then proceeds to cripple an animal, force it to be dependent on him and then uses him to kill his pack leader, eventually turning all of his kind into beasts of burden. He would soon enforce his standards onto neighboring tribes and actively and openly sabotages booming economists who also uses those animals with the excuse that they aren't doing it his way. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, How to Train Your Dragon
  • A man who cripples his only child emotionally out in public and he gets away with it because he is the chief. He goes on to threaten other people who don't agree with him to look after his son, and when his son's fighting skills do not come naturally to him, he doesn't take the time to actually help him develop fighting skills and physical prowess and passes him off to his friend to keep him out of the way while constantly rubbing it in the boy's face that he is a disappointment. Stoick the Vast, How to Train Your Dragon
  • A prankster who can fly and can cause devastating winter who frequently stirs fights and chaos among innocent people and endangers children with his antics. Even worse, he is Invisible to Normals, the only beings capable of taming his antics being too busy trying to make the world a better place to do anything about it. Jack Frost, Rise of the Guardians
  • A chef who was so comfortable with being at the top that he kills himself when a critic notorious for being impossible to please wasn't pleased. Auguste Gusteau, Ratatouille
  • A woman who is unqualified to run a government agency who only got the job because she has a gun. She knows she lacks the experience and credentials, but she decides to run in gu-ho to save the world all by herself because a voice in her head told her too. Jesse Faden, Control
  • A bumbling idiot who was declared king of an island nation just because a talking statue threw a shiny rock at him and declared him to be so. He has no skills that would indicate that he would make for a good, productive leader and he spends all of his free time stuffing his face and punching lizards out of the belief that not only is he the boss of them, but that lizards deserve nothing more than the caves they have to hide in. Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong Country
  • He's a jingoistic, womanizing veteran who was exiled to the West Indies under the pretense of an important mission, when really it was to keep his lecherous hands away from the President's possibly underaged niece. There he tries solving all of his problems with brute force, is a total slob, and is also a terrible actor who manages to get away with committing terrorism because his enemies are too dumb to realize that the terrorist with an American accent who appeared around the same time is just him in a domino mask. Jack Stiles from Jack of All Trades
  • A meat-headed psychopath that gets off on massacring weaker people as part of a job to protect an incompetent scientist under the belief that he might have a worthless bauble somewhere in his house. Brock Samson from The Venture Brothers
  • A precocious child with incredible powers who's attempts to help others always results in collateral damage and ruined lives infinitely worse than if he hadn't shown up in the first place. Such damage includes: several buildings blowing up, a classroom full of people nearly dying in an elevator in the Washington Monument, handing over a narcissistic psychopath the most dangerous drone-system in the world, his aunt dying and the entire Multiverse nearly folding in on itself. Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe
  • A tantrum-throwing bully that constantly questions and ignores his leader's orders even when he knows he himself makes for a terrible leader. Hamato Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

    Excel-2010 
  • A lawman who does not know the meaning of the word "excessive". He doesn't have handcuffs; he simply executes any criminal where he stands. He doesn't even use his handgun much, preferring to deal with whoever he considers evildoers up-close and personally. He considers the world his jurisdiction and will stop any crime at any cost, even if it means extensive transformation of himself or his comrades. He never apologizes for any collateral damage he causes (of which there is no shortage) and isn't above attacking would-be villains in their own home, before they do any actual evil or even wake up in the morning. One wonders if he answers to anyone at all. Axe Cop

  • A young maiden who enslaves animals to do her housework and emotionally manipulates several men. Snow White

     
  • A possibly insane, amnesic cyborg who is frozen to stop his killing spree which takes out most of a colony. He then is awoken to be used in an insane AI's plan to gain godhood, and in completing his goal he does his level best to genocide an alien race. He then attempts to murder his ally. Later, he aids another mad AI in a mutiny attempting to replace the entire crew of a ship with other cybernetic beings. He then, after a series of hallucinations, massacres the human resistance to a race of alien slavers, and when even they consider him too dangerous, massacres his most recent allies, and reactivates a long buried super-weapon to freeze a sun, gradually dooming an entire planet to slowly freeze to death. The Security officer, Marathon

    Falconwing 
  • A violent brutish pyromancer. We are first introduced to him by having him destroy an entire harbor. He rescued a young lady from the sex slave trade only to abuse, and mooch off her at every opportunity. Wherever he goes destruction follows. He has been known to assault his own comrades for trivial reasons. Also potentially responsible for the corruption of at least two minors. Natsu Dragneel, "Fairy Tail."
  • This elderly Wizard has been known to recruit children, and raise them to serve as his personal army. He frequently turns a blind eye to the crimes of his subordinates, and snubs the authority of his superiors. He has unleashed both his son, and grandson on the world when they proved too much trouble for even him instead of turning them to the authorities. He has sent children as young as Twelve off to wage war on his behalf. Makarov Dwyer, "Fairy Tail."
  • A small creature with a deadly mastery of lightning, who caused hundreds of children to have seizures, and scapegoated another of it's kind so that it was the one exiled from continuity instead. Ash's Pikachu, "Electric Soldier Porygon"

    Faris V 
  • This young man killed many innocents for a mission his king had sent him on to take something from a people which was theirs by right. He defied said king, and was promptly fired from his leadership position in the military and accused of treason. He also delivered a package to another village his king wished destroyed, which burnt the city down. He turned his blade on his own best friend and later his brother, handing over the McGuffins which were needed by the Big Bad to fulfill his evil plan in exchange for a chance to be with his Childhood Friend and Love Interest again. Cecil Harvey, Final Fantasy IV.
  • This monarch is characterized by his utter ruthlessness. When he was first released from his prison after five odd millenia, he challenged many people to sadistic games and subjected them to Mind Rape if they lost said games. He also Mind Raped several minor antagonists, and threatened to attack his rival, even if it would mean said rival's death. All the while, he was parasitizing the body of a young boy. He proved to not even care for said host body, willingly sacrificing said host's soul in exchange for power and motivated by his own pride. He also ruthlessly attacked a minor antagonist after what would ordinarily be a rant-inducing slight, ordering his loyal monster to attack far more times than was necessary for victory. He cheats in every single game he plays, and is an arrogant Jerkass, to top it all off. Yami Yugi/Atem from Yu-Gi-Oh!

  • Creepy, same-faced, same-shaped, same-named generic mushroom men who are the prime incarnation of conformity. They're all very incompetent, which once resulted in the horrific scarring of an innocent little boy. Hearing their horrific voices can result in terrible headaches! And they've infested every single world, which means nowhere is safe! The Toads, Paper Mario: The Origami King specific (can apply to Modern Paper Mario in general)

  • A teenage girl deliberately abandoning every shred of humanity she has for greater power. She harnesses the very force her father is honor-bound to destroy, using it however she sees fit and brought about political instabilities by drawing a noble prince away from an engagement. She has currently returned to Earth to usher in a new era of antiquated ruling and undermine the scientific developments that have taken place all for the sake of even more power, incidentally drawing a perfectly innocent girl into a conflict that had previously not effected her at all. Bloom, Winx Club
  • A teenage stalker with a strong fixation on an anemic adolecent in her class. She drinks the blood of helpless victims to put her needs before their own, and attempted to force the one she's stalking to become her slave for all eternity by beating the crap out of him and taking advantage of him while he couldn't move. Even after death, her charisma is powerful enough that many are incapable of seeing any wrongdoing with her and would move heaven and hell to revive her again and aspiring to alter the history of the world to provide her a means of survivial. Sacchin, Tsukihime

    Feo Takahari 
  • This mysterious sorceress murdered a rightful king and queen and proclaimed herself the regent for the young prince, but it's an open secret that she's the one really controlling the country. She uses Black Magic to Mind Control people and force them to serve her, feeling no guilt in cases when this becomes Mind Rape and even turns lethal. Those she can't control, she sets on fire — her personal body count reaches five digits by the end of the first book, and in the second she "makes an example" of an entire town, including noncombatants. She even kills her own soldiers for thinking disloyal thoughts. The title character in The Soprano Sorceress and its sequels. For the uninitiated, she's The Hero and canonically Neutral Good, and both she and the author argue that Utopia Justifies the Means.

    Feral Dog 
  • A maniacally cheerful man who has worked the same dead-end job for over a decade, is incapable of operating a motor vehicle without causing mass destruction, and is slowly but surely driving his neighbor and his boss's rival insane. Frequently neglects or otherwise endangers his pet, as well as his special-needs neighbor. Once created an inanimate humanoid, and while under the delusion that it was alive caused several people to develop eating disorders, made a waiter perform increasingly ridiculous tasks and paid with counterfeit money, and allowed a beach-goer to drown. Has also on several occasions caused great distress to two retired, partially senile former first-responders. Spongebob Squarepants

    Fishsicles 

    Fleetlord 
  • A man who has frequently led children into harm's way, this man's most notable achievement was to succumb to enemy brainwashing, leading said enemy into battle against his own people, massacring thousands. Bear in mind that he was originally responsible for leading this enemy to them by taunting an Elder God. Despite all this, he somehow regains his commission and command. Later, he nearly commits genocide by inaction, claiming that this is his nation's highest law — he's only following orders. He then switches loyalties again, when he decides to betray his government and deny a potentially lifesaving medical advance to billions to get in some girl's pants. I refer, of course, to Jean-Luc Picard

    Floria 
  • She killed uncounted numbers of people, abandoned her child to a heartless Ancient Conspiracy, murdered her lover, physically assaulted her protege, and left the country she'd served all her life to defect to the enemy.

    • Rincewind fits, too.
  • A Cute and Psycho Genki Girl who is at best a mentally unstable Cloudcuckoolander with disturbingly ill-defined reality-warping powers, and at worst an Adorable Abomination. Despite these traits being obvious to anyone who knows her well, she is accepted by her hometown's general population, even though one of her closest friends is an expert on the occult who should know better, and is allowed around children. In her defense, however, it should be said that, contrary to rumor, she is most likely not a cannibal. Pinkie Pie, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
    • Up until that last one, I thought you were talking about Suzumiya Haruhi.

    Fly 
  • A self-hating natural killer who treats everyone around him like dirt and has the single redeeming feature of being incredibly attractive. Becomes fascinated by a girl less than a quarter of his age, because he wants to prove to himself that he is strong enough not to suddenly eat her. Instead, he dedicates his life to ruining her. He watches her obsessively when she is asleep, without her knowledge; prevents her making friends besides him, and gets her into mortal danger multiple times. He consciously compares her to a prey animal, and himself to a predator, and uses all his facilities to make her unbearably afraid of him even while declaring his love. Eventually, he seduces her into marriage, injects her with a deadly parasite which rips her apart from the inside, and then takes her away from her loving but inept parents forever. Edward Cullen, Twilight

  • A rude, closed-minded, occasionally outright racist cop who constantly harasses a polite, unassuming Chinese shopkeeper. Leon Orcot, Pet Shop of Horrors

    Frayleon 
  • She killed her first victim when she was just a child herself. So was the victim. Now she pathologically lies, kills without hesitation, and says the names of her enemies every night, until they turn into a sick prayer of sorts. She is still a child, not even a teenager yet.
