  • Complete Monster:
    • Madder Red, before being brutally tortured and lobotomized into becoming a pacifist known as "Filmore Press", was a sickeningly sadistic psychopath. Madder Red spent three years torturing and killing thousands across the city of Bedlam, with standout atrocities including massacring innocents at a religious gathering after decapitating two of the church leaders and massacring a restaurant filled with dozens. In his so-called "greatest achievement", Madder Red slaughtered an entire opera house, including a class of children, and when his Arch-Enemy, The First, arrived, Madder Red slit the one surviving child's throat in front of him just to anger him. Madder Red also revealed, after being captured, that if he was not dead within one hour, his associates would detonate bombs located in six schools across the city and kill hundreds of children and adults alike.
    • Archbishop Warton, the first Arc Villain, is a self-righteous religious zealot who hopes to punish and cleanse the entire city of Bedlam for locking him away after he was ousted as a Serial Rapist and abuser of young boys. By brainwashing some of his abuse victims, Warton makes them genitally mutilate themselves and become killers in his name, horribly murdering innocents across Bedlam, including other survivors of Warton's abuse. Eventually having his most loyal "angel of death" Eric go on a shooting spree in a hospital, Warton callously orders the loyal man to kill himself just so Warton can get a better deal to satisfy his sadistic god complex.
    • Mr. Pixel, the second and final Arc Villain, is a fanatic obsessed with freeing humans from the constraints of morality. Mr. Pixel began his crusade by using Mind Control techniques to organize the bombing of four highly populated areas, before following it up by controlling dozens upon dozens of office workers to jump to their deaths from rooftops. As an insane admirer of Madder Red, Mr. Pixel, after forcing an entire squad of S.W.A.T. team members to slaughter one another, tries to force Fillmore Press, the man created when Madder Red was lobotomized, into shooting and killing him, hoping it will destroy Fillmore and once more bring out Madder Red. As incentive to coerce Fillmore to kill him, Mr. Pixel reveals that he has mind controlled pawns stationed throughout the city of Bedlam, ready to cause planes to crash, burn their own children alive, and slaughter operation patients unless Fillmore murders him, and, even after Mr. Pixel is killed, it is revealed that he had the atrocities carried out anyway, leading to the deaths of thousands across Bedlam.
