Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

  • Dead Irons, by James Kuhoric et al.: In this 2009 comic miniseries, Devin Irons is a horrifying Sinister Minister obsessed with immortality. A vicious husband and father who regularly beat his wife and 4 children for any form of slight, Irons reached the peak of his abuse when he branded his son Silas with a cross, then tied him to a statue, bloody and bruised, for an undetermined amount of time. When Jonas, the only man in town aware of Irons's cruelty, confronts the man, Irons gleefully stabs him to death, before enacting his plan to gain eternal life: Making a pact with Hell, Irons crucifies his wife and plans to sacrifice her and his children to eternal pain and torment in exchange for immortality, but, when Silas disrupts the ritual, Irons settles for gutting his wife and leaving his other 3 children to wander the land as monstrous zombies. Continuing his plans years later, Irons regularly tortures and murders innocents, then brainwashes 99 of them—including children—into slitting their own throats, at which point he revives his dead wife as a demonic cannibal solely to mock his children. When his kids finally return for their vengeance, Irons orders their mother to kill them, gains his immortality, then reveals his plans to unleash his dark powers across the land and cleanse the world of those he deems "unrighteous". Psychopathic, hypocritical, and fanatical, Devin Irons was a true beast of a man so convinced of his own righteousness that he condemned dozen of innocents, including his own children, to an eternity of torment and hellfire simply because he considers that to be their only purpose in life.
  • Fall Of Cthulhu series, by Michael Alan Nelson et al.:
    • Fall of Cthulhu: Nyarlathotep himself seamlessly arranges every single wrong in the comic for the purpose of unleashing his master Azathoth unto the universe. Having spent centuries walking among mankind among disasters and people he's Driven to Madness, Nyarlathotep spends hundreds of years arranging for the events of the Godwar between him and Nodens, intending to raise Cthulhu and use the ensuing chaos to draw forth Azathoth. To this end, Nyarlathotep, under the guise of "Mr. Arkham," gradually drives the town of Arkham into increasing insanity, ruining the life of Cy Morgan before having him tortured and leaving his insane form as almost an afterthought. Bringing his followers into the world one-by-one through the deaths of others, Nyarlathotep in particular has a seven-year-old child driven to homicidal insanity before having his form mutated and infested by one of his followers after having both his parents killed. Among his other cruel actions, Nyarlathotep hypnotizes the residents of a bar to burn themselves alive; hideously deforms the face of sheriff Raymond Dirk and threatens to torture master thief Lucifer; and has the brain of his human follower Connor painfully extracted and set up to look in a mirror until he's driven insane, unable to move or die. The exemplary point of Nyarlathotep's manipulations is outlined in the prequel comic Nemesis, where, solely to eliminate worship of a rival god, Nyarlathotep drives the population of Atlantis to frenzy through his followers and influence, has their king driven to savagery and eventually publicly executed by his own brother, and then sacrifices the entire city to the Deep Ones on a whim, keeping the sole survivor trapped in the form of a cat he dubs Nemesis to stand by him forever. Nyarlathotep perpetuates torture, suicide, and insanity around him wherever he goes, relishing chaos itself and striving for nothing less than to drive all humanity insane for kicks before eradicating them.
    • The Calling: Cthulhu Chronicles: Abisso Nero is a reclusive fashion mogul who is in actuality the leader of a nebulous cult striving to free Cthulhu and end the universe by folding eleven dimensions into one. To this end, Nero and his cult abduct and indoctrinate children who have been "Chosen," using their bodies to unleash latent psychic energy to tear a hole in reality through the other members of his cult— all hooked on a conduit disguised as a miracle drug called Briten. The last attempt at this resulted in nearly 2,000 fatalities. Undeterred, Nero has his messenger Henry MacNamara killed and forcefully recruits another young child named Gregor—slaughtering his mother in front of him—and trying to use him in yet another attempt to destroy the universe, the final result which results in the torturous death of every member of his cult. Not even his own family is safe from his machinations; it's revealed that years before, Nero arranged the kidnapping of his own son Stefano and had him forcibly indoctrinated overseas for two years. Nero proves that even in a universe of nightmarish, eldritch horrors, humanity can be every bit as vile as the horrific gods they worship.
    • Hexed: Yves, the brother of Madame Cymbaline, exists as the comic's Starter Villain but nevertheless stands out in depravity. A soul-stealing demon sealed away by his sister in a painting, the exploits of master thief Lucifer accidentally free him and loose him upon the world. Immediately attempting to kill those who freed him, Yves immediately resolves to slaughter his sister no matter how many people have to die in the process, going to such lengths as nearly letting loose the denizens of the Shade unto Earth in his attempt to devour Val's soul, devouring the souls of innocent people to nourish himself, and brutally massacring Cymbaline's men to intimidate her. Eventually, Yves resolves to steal the soul of Lucifer herself to empower himself enough to destroy his sister. Yves values nothing else but his own freedom and was willing to tear the world apart for the sheer purpose of slaughtering his sister and being free to consume as many souls as he wanted.
  • Gold Digger:
    • Dreadwing was once a lowly iron dragon, who helped raise the young platinum dragon T'mat. When T'mat surpassed him in power, Dreadwing attempted to kill her before being defeated and banished from the dragon race. Unable to accept T'mat's love for him, Dreadwing would discover the device called the Time Raft and used it to return to the other dragons, defeating, mutilating, torturing and raping T'mat to destroy any love she might have for him and force her to suffer whenever she saw their daughter. Massacring many dragons, Dreadwing attempted to recruit his own private force by offering his chosen recruits the option to torture their mates to death or watch as Dreadwing erased infant dragons from existence. When they refused, he made good on the threat. Traversing other worlds, Dreadwing became a violent scourge, destroying as he willed before being defeated by Gina Diggers. Entering into a "cosmic chess game" with her older, alternate timeline self Ancient Gina, Dreadwing still takes the chance to murder those he could before launching an attack on the world of Jade, aiming to subjugate it and even attempting to kill his own daughter D'bra with no remorse. Egotistical, sadistic and filled with loathing for whatever he cannot control, Dreadwing stands as the comic's most enduring and horrifying monster.
    • The former werewolf patriarch Brendan makes a pact with dark powers to achieve incredible powers which he tests by murdering his own wife. Engineering a "peace" between the werewolves and werecheetahs by creating a drought that kills many of the latter, Brendan betrays the werecheetahs and commits utter genocide on them, massacring the men, women, and children. He is only prevented from killing a single baby thanks to the sacrifice of her mother and the intervention of archmage Theo Diggers. Brendan also plans to sell his own people into slavery to fulfill his own end of the deal, and mocks his own daughter for adhering to any standard of honor before she defeats and imprisons him. Escaping later, Brendan tries to murder his own children and mocks the only surviving werecheetah, Brittany "Cheetah" Diggers, for her clan and biological parents' deaths, intending to use his powers to freeze her as living stone and keep as a trophy for all eternity.
  • Jurassic Strike Force 5: Master Zalex is an evil alien overlord who desires to rule the entire galaxy. After landing on planet Earth, Zalex captures several dinosaurs and forces the Nodes aliens to turn them into super soldiers, threatening to destroy their planet if they don't help him. Millions of years later, after Zalex and his Reptilian dinosaurs are awakened, Zalex kills all the scientists who mistakenly wake him up, shortly before he and the Reptilians invade a submarine base and slaughter most of the soldiers in the vicinity. He later forces the survivors to assist him in his schemes, and nearly kills the Strike Force dinosaurs when they confront him. Zalex gets the dinosaurs to surrender by kidnapping Saral and threatening to kill her in front of them. Once captured, Zalex tries to convert the Strike Force into mindless slaves with a serum, and even sends his Reptilians to try and kill Tyler. When the serum is destroyed, Zalex tries to kill the Strike Force again by blowing up the submarine base, and he later invades Washington, D.C., where he and his Reptilians start destroying the city and killing anyone who opposes him. After the President refuses to submit to Zalex's demands, Zalex tries to blow up the city with a nuclear warhead. A violent warlord who craves absolute domination, Zalex cares about nothing but ruling over species lesser than him, and will kill anyone who opposes him or is deemed useless.
  • The Legend of Luther Strode: Jack the Ripper himself is a super-powered Serial Killer who was released from the box in which he was bound in order to fight Luther. After being freed, he quickly disembowels a young crime boss and takes the first opportunity to kill the man who unbound him. Traveling to a crowded mall, Jack then utterly butchers hundreds of the innocent civilians shopping there. When Luther and his girlfriend Petra find the grisly scene, they discover that Jack hadn't actually killed anyone, but mutilated them and made sculptures from their bodies while leaving them alive with their pain. When Petra leads the survivors out of the mall after he tries to get her to inadvertently shoot them, Jack becomes enraged, wanting have more "fun" with them. Believing Luther to be at his mercy, Jack then taunts him with how he plans to kill Petra in front of him. Desiring nothing but to see the world "drown in blood", Jack stands out even in a comic filled with crazed blood knights.
  • Murena: The cruel gladiator Massam shows what kind of person he is when he rapes and kills one of his fellow gladiators, then threatens Numidian Balba that he will eat him. Seeing the latter as a Worthy Opponent, Massam deliberately provokes him by killing a man Balba decided to spare, fighting his young and inexperienced friend Proyas and killing him against the will of the host of the game. As a henchman for Emperor Nero, he orders a fat histrion to be fed to his panthera, throws a young male prostitute into a fireplace, smothers a man in his own feces after telling the information he wanted, murders the old pontiff and with the Emperor rapes the Vestal Virgin Rubria. After the burning of Rome, Massam plans to sell Lucius Murena who caused the fire and takes satisfaction in building his fortune on ruins. In his final confrontation with Balba, upon being defeated he unleashes his panthera, who mortally wounds the Numidian fighter. Without limit to his gratuitous cruelty, Massam stands out in a morally grey setting with many unsympathetic characters.
  • The Rescuers Down Under: Percival C. McLeach is one of the few humans in the series who seems to be aware that the animals are sentient. This does not stop him from, in his own words, "tearing off their hides" to make a living. When Cody interferes with one of McLeach's operations, the poacher kidnaps him, tosses knives at him, and locks him in one of the cramped cages he keeps the animals he's captured in, and uses him as bait to lure the eagle Marahute into his clutches; he subsequently instructs his monitor lizard sidekick, Joanna the Goanna, to devour the eagle's eggs, rendering the species rarer and thus more valuable. When the Rescuers visit McLeach's hideout they find he is keeping three talking animals prisoner, intending to turn them all into luxury goods; McLeach himself is observed giving orders to Frank the Frilled Lizard, confirming that he knows they can understand him. When Cody proves too much trouble, McLeach ties Cody to a crane and lowers him into a river filled with crocodiles, only to raise him back up, then almost does it again, just to toy with him. When the power on his half-track goes out, stopping him from lowering Cody, McLeach takes out a gun and shoots the rope holding him above the river, only to be swept over the waterfall himself, while Joanna, who McLeach had frequently abused, looks on.
  • TRON: Uprising:
    • General Tesler is the brutal dictator dispatched by CLU to subjugate Argon City, and as such, is responsible for most of the series's crimes. Years ago, Tesler was informed by two programs of the presence of an ISO, a persecuted minority, at their hospital, at which point Tesler ordered the entire hospital be slaughtered, including the two who informed him of the ISO, simply because they saw the rogue ISO program. As the ruler of Argon, Tesler sets up the Games, a gladiatorial tournament where programs are regularly forced to fight to the death for even minor infractions against Tesler's rule; Tesler has no problem throwing innocents in for even touching him. Refusing to accept any weakness or failure from his soldiers, Tesler ruthlessly executes them for decreasingly legitimate reasons as the series goes on, punching a hole through one for simply surviving an assault on his base. Though seeming to care for one of his Co-Dragons, Paige, Tesler is quickly revealed to be manipulating her into his servitude, having convinced her that an ISO butchered her best friends when it was Tesler himself, and regularly goes behind her back and murders people she likes or cares for, which culminates in him showing no restraint in ordering her executed when he thinks she betrays him. With a cold disdain for everything not under his thrall, General Tesler stands out across the Tron franchise as perhaps the most wicked villain.
    • Pavel, one of Tesler's two Co-Dragons alongside Paige, makes his mark as the single most sadistic and cruel character in the Tron universe. Though often kept in check by Tesler or Paige, when Pavel gets the chance to run wild, he threatens innocents by the dozens, murders his own minions with glee, and slices a Bit, the Tron equivalent of a pet, in half. After accidentally damaging a train's engine while trying to kill a single passenger, dooming the hundreds onboard, Pavel cackles about it while expressing his desire to stay and watch the fireworks as the passengers die, revolting Paige, and is also revealed to run his own torture chamber, littered with the remains of his many previous victims, and proceeds to use said chamber to mutilate a program's hand for nothing more than spraying graffiti. Continuously trying to usurp Tesler and gain more personal power, Pavel arranges for three teenage programs to be executed to embarrass Tesler, frames the loyal Paige for treason by Mind Raping her, before doing the same to his partners in crime, and hides a powerful upgrade disk from Tesler, using it to massacre an entire room of innocent programs as a test run while cackling like a lunatic. An utter madman who horrified and disgusted everyone he interacted with, Pavel may not have had the power of CLU or Tesler, but he more than made up for it in sheer depravity and evil.
  • Black Sunday (1960): Princess Asa Vadja is a devil-worshipping vampiric witch who terrorized ancient Moldavia. For her crimes, her own brother was forced to sentence her to death, for which she vowed to avenge herself on her own family. 200 years later, Asa is resurrected and begins her work killing the Vajda household and their servants one-by-one. All of this is part of her Evil Plan to absorb Katia's youth so she can torment the Earth once more. When Dr. Andre Gorobec arrives to save Katia, Asa attempts to trick him into killing her himself.
  • The Chronicles of Riddick: In the extended version, Zhylaw is the Holy Half-Dead Lord Marshal of the Necromongers, a spacefaring death cult on a crusade to either convert or wipe out all in their path. When as a young warrior he was given a prophecy by the air elemental Aereon that a male child born on the planet Furya would one day cause his downfall, he commited genocide against the Furyans in his own private war, even strangling newborn infants to death with their umbilical cords. Since becoming Lord Marshal he has wiped out entire star systems inhabited by millions of colonists before settling on the Helion system, overrunning the capital world with his forces sustaining heavy casualties and killing many civilians in the process. When one of the captured leaders of the planet objects to his demands for total conversion given that on their world they accept all cultures, Zhylaw responds by ripping the man's soul out of his body. Discovering that Richard B. Riddick is the one prophesied to kill him, the Lord Marshal initially tries to have Riddick killed before later offering him to part ways solely out of fear. He also has Aereon captured to provide him with further revelation, promising to spare her world "for last" while indicating that her own end will come as soon as he has no more use for her. In the climax he prepares to scour Helion Prime clean of life when Riddick challenges him to one-on-one combat. Zhylaw attempts to rip Riddick's soul out before fatally wounding his friend Kyra when she intervenes. Fully beholden to the omnicidal creed of the Necromongers, Zhylaw was nevertheless willing to throw his warrior ideals out the window as soon as he felt threatened, prompting his second-in-command Lord Vaako to believe that he was no longer fit to be Lord Marshal.
  • The Hard Way: The Party Crasher is introduced calling the police to cheerfully inform them of his intent to commit a murder at a nightclub before invading it, gunning a man down and escaping. Targeting petty criminals and drug dealers, the Party Crasher initially claims he is doing police's work for them, but his sadistic demeanor and cruelty reveals this to be a lie, with carnage and fame his real goal. Murdering a prostitute soon after, the Party Crasher takes a gun dealer hostage and later executes him before escaping and attempts to fire on an innocent crowd, killing at least one man. When police lieutenant John Moss confronts him, he reveals the Party Crasher murdered a 4-year-old-girl in the past, to which the Party Crasher only laughs that one sacrifices pawns. Taking Moss's girlfriend hostage, the Party Crasher holds her on the theater rooftop to lure Moss to him, with the intent of murdering them both, along with Moss's partner, actor Nick Lang.
  • Nightwatch (1997): Inspector Thomas Cray is a despicable Serial Killer with a fetish for dead people. Once a nightwatchman for a morgue, Cray was fired for having sex with the dead bodies as they came through, and, after trying to sate his desires by hiring hookers to play dead while he had sex with them, decided to escalate his fantasy. Cray began murdering prostitutes, having sex with their corpses, then scooping out their eyeballs as trophies, something he repeats 5 times across his career, and, when getting tired of evading police, prompts to frame an innocent man for his crimes. After murdering a 17-year-old prostitute and framing the hapless Martin Bells as the killer, Cray tries to kill both Martin and his girlfriend with a buzzsaw to their skulls after beating his police partner to death with a baseball bat. A psychopath with a disturbing fixation on the dead, Thomas Cray's evil ran so deep that he actively defied having any reason for his crimes.
  • Red Faction: Origins: In this interquel between Guerilla and Armageddon, besides introducing Adam Hale from Armageddon, Stroller is the leader of the White Faction, made from the remnants of the EDF. When the White Faction faces population collapse due to an influenza, Stroller sought to repopulate the ranks by abducting children and raising them to be soldiers. Stroller makes a specific target out of Alec Mason's children, personally killing their mother Samanya and taking Lyra while Jake barely escapes. Stroller places himself as a father figure to Lyra, making her believe that her family is dead and that he saved her. In the present, Stroller is responsible for escalating tensions between the colonists and Marauders, killing people on both sides and framing the other party. To orchestrate a war, Stroller launches attack on Eos to massacre civilians before turning their attention to attack the Marauders. When Stroller sees Jake aboard his ship, coincidentally at the time Lyra realizes the truth, Stroller attempts to kill her personally, denouncing her as a traitor.
  • Séance: James Spence begins life as an ordinary maintenance man with no glaring peculiarities. Spence was, in actuality, a Serial Rapist and Serial Killer of children, and had murdered five children around the US before settling on a young girl named Cara, repeatedly raping her and coaxing her into staying quiet under the threat of hurting her sister. Spence eventually murders Cara and is executed for his crimes before an ill-fated séance accidentally summons his spirit back onto the grounds of the murder. Now a malevolent specter, Spence takes delight in tormenting the inhabitants of the dormitory, raping, torturing, and eventually murdering Alison with wires and strangling a security guard before leaving him to bleed out. After a failed attempt to destroy him grants him the ability to Body Surf, Spence utilizes this to slit Diego's throat whilst in his body and attempting to pick off the survivors one by one so he can spend the rest of his undead life surfing from host to host to stay alive. A serene, manipulative pedophile in life and a vicious, murderous ghost in death, Spence is one of the vilest undead beings to grace modern cinema.
  • Shotgun (1989): Fletcher Rivington is a slimy lawyer with a hand in drugs, prostitution, and crime across the city. Opening the film by ordering his Dragon, Rocker, to murder an entire bar of people when they refuse to sell their land to him, Rivington is later revealed to be a vicious prostitute beater, regularly whipping them to within an inch of their life. After beating one to death in a violent rage, Rivington is pursued by Ian Jones, who begins breaking up his operations and thwarting his schemes, at which point Rivington has one of his own minions murdered to keep him quiet, then has Jones's best friend gunned down. In the end, Rivington executes Rocker when he tries to rat Rivington out, and gleefully reveals his attitude that hookers were meant to be abused, and that with his money and power, he was given a free pass to anything, including murder.
  • Assassin's Creed : Forsaken:
  • Threshold: Nzame is an Eldritch Abomination from beyond our world. Finding a way into our world, he turns the portal into an Eldritch Location and murders several people working on this portal in increasingly horrific ways. He uses this portal in the form of a pyramid to breach into the human world and mind rapes the population of Threshold into worshiping him.

When the protagonists rise to oppose him, he attacks them through their dreams, threatening bodily harm to them and their loved ones. He pays special focus to the heroine, Tirzah, threatening to possess her unborn child and leave her husband trapped in an Eldritch Location.

  • From Dusk Till Dawn: Amaru, Queen of Xibalba, who once enslaved the entire vampiric Culebra race, takes the chance to jump into the dying body of Kate Fuller when her seal is weakened. Slaughtering the remaining Culebra Lords save one survivor, Amaru proceeds to torture and kill multiple culebras and humans, even murdering the human lover of Kisa (aka Santanico Pandemonium) just to hurt her out of belief that Santanico has no right to call herself a queen. Amaru spends the remainder of the season sending horrible demons after her enemies that cause incredible amounts of pain and suffering, and tries to kill Kate's loved ones to force her to watch as a prisoner in her own body. Causing several more massacres, Amaru regains her own original body, her influence driving an entire nearby town mad with the inhabitants of a hospital slaughtering one another. Amaru soon reveals her intent is to drag the entire human and Culebra races into hell so she can torture their souls forever in revenge for her sealing.
  • Deadpool Pulp: In this pulp take on Deadpool, General Styrfe is a seemingly Reasonable Authority Figure who recruits Deadpool to recover a stolen nuclear weapon. It turns out Styfe himself masterminded the theft of the nuclear weapon and plans to use it to start World War III, nuking New York City so that the US will declare war on the USSR. Stryfe wants to turn the US into a military dictatorship and use US military might to dominate the world after the war ends. Stryfe was also the one responsible for torturing Deadpool and driving him insane. Stryfe did this in attempt to create soldiers who would only be loyal to him and succeeded with another solider, Cable, turning him into his personal mind-controlled slave.
  • Basco ta Jolokia represents Selfish Evil, and is far worse than his boss and his replacement/dad. He betrayed the Red Pirates, leaving Aka Red to his apparent demise and Marvelous alone, while stealing several of their gathered treasures under the pretense that "you have to sacrifice something to get something else", which means that if he wants something, he sacrifices anything to get it and isn't above blackmail. He would hurt children, blow up schools and youngsters, and betray allies, including the Morality Pet, for anything he wants. He does all that with a cheery smile befitting of a Troll and did it for profit and whatever fun he wants. Basco's disposition is usually cheery and jovial, but when he is the main focus, the situation gets even worse than when Space Empire Zangyack is the main focus.
  • Helter Skelter storyline: The version of Chief Judge Cal who serves as the Big Bad for this story originates from an Alternate Universe where he successfully killed Judge Dredd and has been the tyrannical ruler of Mega-City One for the past 20 years because, unlike his mainstream counterpart from The Day the Law Died, he's not insane, just evil. After he learns that there is a world where Judge Dredd had beaten him, he gathers the supervillains from several different universes where Dredd lost to invade Prime Dredd's dimension. This is only an alliance of convenience for Cal, as he intends to dispose of all them as soon as the opportunity allows. His forces take over the Grand Hall of Justice by brainwashing most of the Senior Judges and automatically executing anyone under 25 years of service for being unaffected by this; the survivors, including Judge Hershey, are then crucified in the city center. However, what sets Cal apart from most other would-be conquerors of Mega-City One is what a female scientist describes as the "Helter Skelter" effect, as continued interdimensional travel will tear apart the very fabric of existence by pulling in horrors from other dimensions, materializing people inside buildings, or sending whole planets into the center of stars. Cal is fully aware of this and wants to take the Helter Skelter to the brink before establishing a stable portal with his own world, condemning billions of people to a Fate Worse than Death just so he can kill a version of Judge Dredd whom he's never even met.
  • Digimon World Data Squad: Lucemon is The Man Behind the Man for both Tsukasa Kagura and Creepymon. The king of the Dark Area and the Chao-Mao Digimon, he's orchestrated everything in the plot by manipulating Kagura's feelings of jealousy to do whatever it took to revive himself. Through him, Lucemon made sure five children throughout the world were merged with one of the Code Keys of the Seven Deadly Sins to create Mao Digimon, The Great Demon Lords. He also has Creepymon attack Kosaburo Katsura and Biyomon to retrieve the Code Keys he's attained. After Creepymon assaults DATS HQ but is defeated, it's revealed Creepymon was made of a former DATS member Masaki Nitta, who was aware of his situation but unable to spot himself, and cannot go back to being human, essentially dying as data before his daughter. When Kagura finally releases the seal on Lucemon, he betrays Kagura and tells him how he deceived the scientist. After absorbing Kagura, Code of Key of Pride himself, Lucemon flees, but not before spreading the influence of the Dark Area. An evil Digimon who deemed himself infinite, immortal, and absolute, Lucemon is a remorseless Omnicidal Maniac who desired to engulf everything in the Dark Area.
  • Metroid Prime Trilogy: Dark Samus is the psychotic-yet-cunning Arc Villain of the trilogy, as a recurring boss in the second game and the Big Bad in the third. Starting off as the titular Metroid Prime in the first game, a Metroid vastly mutated by the substance Phazon, it is defeated by Samus and apparently killed. But it uses one of her suits and DNA to reconstruct itself in her form with sentience. Now known as Dark Samus, she travels to the planet Aether to consume the Phazon on the planet and physically stabilize herself. She raids a Space Pirate colony on the planet and kills those in her way, and when Samus arrives on the planet, she tries to have her killed at every given opportunity. Defeated and left for dead in a collapsing dimension, she still survives and reforms in a Space Pirate ship, killing a third of the crew and forcing the rest under her control. She raids the G.F.S. Valhalla, kills its entire crew, and steals Aurora Unit 313 to control Phazon and the planet Phaaze. She infects three planets with Phazon and almost infects a fourth, only stopped by Samus and three other bounty hunters. Dark Samus takes the opportunity to plant Phazon seeds inside the four of them, leading to the corruption and deaths the other three. Samus herself almost succumbs to corruption while trying to defeat Dark Samus.
  • Red Faction series:
    • Red Faction (the first game): Axel Caypek is the head of scientific research at the Ultor Corporation. To him, the lives of countless innocents were less important than his scientific curiosity. His experiments created mutants resulting from the animals and humans he tested on, unleashing a plague on Mars mines, killing and crippling innocent people, and awakening an alien race that he let kill his fellow scientists. When confronted by Parker, Caypek reveals there is a cure for the plague but refuses to reveal it for no reason other than spite; his last words being "I hope you all die!". A vicious egomaniac, Caypek dismisses the deaths of countless innocent people as nothing more than a stepping stone to progress.
    • Red Faction: Guerrilla: Admiral Lucious Kobel outstrips any of his fellow Earth Defense Force in cruelty, having previously used his warship, the Hydra, to annihilate Central Asian rebels. When EDF loses faith in its current commander, General Bertram Roth, Kobel is sent, as a last resort, to suppress the Red Faction rebellion for good. Despite given orders to avoid any unnecessary damage, civilian casualties were unimportant to Kobel, and he set out with a plan of his own: to start fresh and exterminate all life on Mars. Using the Hydra to start a bombardment on Mars, Kobel cared not for the civilians, declaring them expendable, and indicates he arranged the entire situation to take control from Roth in the first place.
    • Red Faction: Armageddon: Adam Hale, who also appears in the film, was originally the second-in-command to Stroller of the White Faction and a lover to Lyra Mason, before becoming a cult leader placing himself as a messiah figure. An initial supporter of the White Faction's plot to start a war between the Red Faction and Marauders, overseeing the massacre of civilians. When Lyra realizes the truth of her past and leaves for her family, Hale's immediate reaction is to take control of the White Faction and order the destruction of the Teraformer, knowing it would render Mars virtually uninhabitable and not caring that Lyra could be a casualty; holding one of his men at gunpoint for hesitating the attack; and only stopped when Alec Mason sacrifices himself to destroy the dreadnought. By the time of Armageddon, Hale reemerges twenty years later with a cult to his name, and succeeds in destroying the Teraformer causing widespread destruction, such as tornadoes and violent storms across the surface, forcing the people of Mars to colonize underground to survive. Learning of a ravenous alien race called the plague further beneath the surface, Hale has his cultists trick Alec's grandson Darius Mason into releasing the plague on the people of Mars, overrunning the colonists and killing multiple people. He later announces to his cult his plans to enslave these creatures as an army in his conquest. Originally raised to be a loyal soldier, Hale is ultimately a man motivated to claim his envisioned destiny of ruling Mars, with or without Lyra, and partially motivated by his hate for the Mason family, not caring who or how many have to die in the process.
  • Unreal Tournament 3: Akasha is the Necris High Inquisitor of the Necris forces in Story Mode. Described as one who "slaughters civilians for a living", Akasha led the the Twin Souls massacre that killed the friends and family of James "Reaper" Hawkins and his sister, Sarah "Jester" Hawkins, with Terrence "Othello" Marshall being an unfortunate witness to the bloodshed. Also commanding the Krall, she has them raze an unknown human colony at the beginning, an operation she personally led, rendering Reaper himself unconscious after gunning down a soldier. Hiding out in "Sentinel" for the rest of the story, Akasha has her forces continue their tirade on Taryd and the rest of Earth, including the complete destruction and takeover of a thriving city. When Reaper finally confronts Akasha in her stronghold, she taunts him all throughout the ensuing struggle. She mocks him going alone, claims his mortality in his weakness, and—worst of all—says he dies too quickly "like his family". A ruthless Necris who thinks she will become invincible, Akasha caused far more damage in the war than any other faction.
  • Everyman HYBRID: HABIT is a supernatural entity capable of taking control of people's bodies, using his powers to force his still-aware host to sadistically murder people for his own entertainment. While possessing Evan, HABIT forces him to strangle Daniel to death, brutally tortures Jeff and Steph over a protracted period of time before killing them, and eating the baby that Evan had fathered with Steph. When Evan is released from HABIT's grasp, HABIT gives him a Healing Factor that leaves him unable to die. When Vincent summons HABIT to get some answers, HABIT just insults him and forces Vince to lure in victims to torture and kill. HABIT then traps Vince in a room for two years, giving him a Healing Factor in order to psychologically torture him and prevent him from killing himself. On the blog Can You See the Words, HABIT posts writings made by his victims where he would kill scores of people brutally and let Slender Man have the survivors, and reveals that several of the world's most notorious serial killers and war criminals—including Albert Fish, Josef Mengele, and Jack the Ripper-were his doing. In the crossover with MLAnderson0, HABIT tortures Shaun Andersen to death in a plot to lure in his brother Michael/Patrick. Standing in sharp contrast to the mysterious Slender Man and the animalistic Rake, HABIT is a sadist who enjoys what he does.

I'm going to lean on the safe side and vote no on Abattoir since Batman villains have a very high heinous standard in general. Plus, I'd say giving an accomplice advice on how to stay alive instead of being caught in one of Abattoir's plans is a bit too possibly redeeming.

[tup] for Bias and, after some deliberation (I might regret this) [tup] for Abattoir.

[tdown] Tamatoa. A total bastard, but too funny and not heinous enough to count.

For Sentai villains, Zeba would be a hard sell. For one thing, he might be motivated by a desire for revenge for his Truly Single Parent. You could also make a good case that he is Made of Evil, since he... absorbed(?) his parent's hatred. I think? It's a little weird. He's still a piece of crap, but I would be apprehensive with him.

For Exhaus, maybe. Carranger is a parody of Sentai and I only watched a few episodes, including the finale. He seems to be a Knight of Cerebus, but I don't know if I have a good enough grasp on his character to say if he counts or not.

Robogog? Don't think he counts. I think his backstory is almost sympathetic enough, is nice to Metal Alice until she fails him (which could be used against him, to be honest) and he gets outdone by the REAL Big Bad anyway. Speaking of which...

Brajira. I'm actually almost done with an effort post for him. STAY TUNED!

Tensou Sentai Goseiger was a pretty “meh” season of Super Sentai, but it did have a few bright spots. I actually liked Nozomu, a child character that wasn’t annoying! I liked Gosei Knight because he was goddamn amazing. And another thing I liked?

My candidate:

Who is he? What has he done?

Brajira of the Messaiah was once a Gosei Angel, fighting to protect the Earth many years ago. At the end of the war with Yumaju, monsters born from pollution that want to destroy the world because shut up, Brajira and his two allies fought to seal away the Big Bad Duumvirate of Makuin and Kinggon. They created the Yuumu Box to seal them away, needing the powers of the three Gosei tribes: Skyick, Seaick and Landick. Hence, three Angels were needed. But, see, Brajira decided he didn’t need his allies, so he stole their Gosei power for himself, murdering them. He went on to seal the two villains, so they’ll NEVER be seen again. After this, Brajira became more fanatical and obsessed with the Gosei Angel mission of protecting the Earth. Believing the entire planet to be corrupt, probably because it was spawning weird blob monsters, he comes up with his Earth Salvation Plan, to use the Nega End ceremony to destroy the world, and then recreate it, with himself as the Saviour. He tried to recruit help. Naturally, his fellow Angels thought he was cray cray and tied him up. But his stolen power enabled to break free. He then escaped into the future with a forbidden Tensou technique, which corrupted his appearance as well as his Gosei power, turning it into… Dark Gosei Power. It doesn’t seem to be any different. It seems to just mean he produces black smoke sometimes, but whatever. He lands in the present day and notices an evil alien spaceship just hanging out because this is Super Sentai. There’s always an alien spaceship. Using his Tensou techniques to disguise himself as an alien, he bluffed his way into joining the Warstar, becoming one of the Co-Dragons of Mons Drake. After providing intelligence, the Warstar returns to Earth, secretly manipulated by Brajira, taking up the identity of Buredoran, has the Gosei tower destroyed, cutting off the Gosei angels from Earth. Unbeknownst to him, there were five teenagers with att- I mean, five apprentice angels training on Earth that become Goseigers to stop the Warstar. And they’re still in contact with Gosei World, so that’s nice.

To quickly sum up the crap Brajira pulls on a week to week basis: He’s the Sentai equivalent of Vrak. So spreading disease, death and all that jazz are the order of the day. He eventually tries to help Mon Mothma ignite Earth’s atmosphere which would not be good day for most of us, but Mothman gets zapped and Buredoran is seemingly killed. (And DO get used to that. This guy’s still coming back to life 6 years later! I think he’s been killed 16 times by now!) Anyway, after a random blast unearths the Yuumaju box, Brajira releases the two villains he sealed so long ago. Which is pretty unusual. You know, for the guy who locked up ancient evil to- Anyway, Brajira dons another disguise, this time as a Yuumaju. Turns out, Brajira used his Buredoran alias way back when to serve as a double agent within the Yuumaju ranks. He claims he was always a Yuumajuu and not an alien. Of course, I’ve spoiled this, but whatever. On with the show. So, some more crap happens, Brajira continues to manipulate to apparent villains to destroy the Goseigers so he can achieve his goal. Then Buredoran loses favour with his masters after screwing up and accidentally giving the Goseigers a Super Mode. Oops. So, he decides it’s time to end this for good. Trying to drive a wedge between Makuin and Kinggon, Makuin banishes his partner making Buredoran the his equal after he saved his life. This was all to get a chance at using the Yuumajuu box, which the two leaders were understandably protective of. During a big battle between all the Goseigers, Makuin and Kinggon, Brajira attempts to use the box to seal all his enemies away forever. Except, well, it’s a fake. Turns out Makuin and Kinggon trusted each other so much, they set Buredoran up to reveal his treachery, leaving him to apparently getting killed by the Goseigers.

Then there’s the Shinkenger crossover which is of questionable canonicity, but whatever. He becomes a Gedoushuu… somehow, I guess his evil spirit mixed with what remained of Doukoku making him take on parts of his appearance and powers. I guess. It’s weird. Anyway, he brainwashes Shinken Red, Takeru into fighting all the assembled good guys and ends up betraying Shitari for with his true plan: Open a portal to Gosei world and use the waters of the Sanzu River to drown it, probably to stop them giving advice and powers to the Goseigers. Shitari thinks this a waste of the water, but Brajira’s the boss now. He even has a loyal right hand man! Probably because he’s so strong, but whatever. Shitari, thinking him to be Doukoku’s reincarnation, isn’t happy. Anyway, Buredoran no 3 gets whacked, his plans foiled, leading us to the next part of his arc. His lifeless body is retrieved by Metal Alice, who turns him into a cyborg. And yes. That is a new villain faction. The third, in fact. Geez. And they’re machines and they come out of nowhere with no connection to the Gosei An- you know what, this isn’t the time.

Anyway, her master, Robogog, erases his memory, storing it all on a flash… crystal(?) for research. The amnesiac Buredo-RUN (Named by Robogog because robutts) is now completely loyal to his new dude. Must feel wrong somewhere within him. After screwing up and getting blown up, Metal Alice is rebuilt by Robogog, who tortures her for her failure. Turning to Buredo-RUN for friendship, they grow close, BR even starting to develop some of his own personality. To break free from Robogog, Metal Alice and Buredo-RUN come up with a plan, MA restoring BR’s memories. And so, their patience finally pays off. The Goseigers defeat Robogog, and BR finishes his former master off, revealing he has his memories back. Alas, Metal Alice took a critical blow when Robogog activated bombs she was carrying to cripple the Goseigers. Buredo-RUN walks over to her, tenderly holding her in his arms. She talks about how they’re both free. Then Brajira says he’s free to carry out his plans. Metal Alice is confused for a moment. Then Brajira rips something out of Metal Alice, perhaps her heart, and walks away as she dies, reaching out to him before exploding. And then he just laughs at the Goseigers, horrified at what he’s done and that their worst enemy is really back this time.

And here’s the most dog kicking Brajira does, tucked within this last handful of episodes. Revealing himself as a fallen Gosei Angel (apparently reversing his cybernetic enhancements), he kidnaps Gosei Knight, whom it turns out was his servant before he sealed the Yuumaju, and brainwashes him, filling him with his Dark Gosei Power. He has three other similar servants who seem to be genuinely loyal, though I don’t know why. Shouldn’t they be loyal to Gosei World? They were born there right? They just kinda show up without any background. Anyway, Brajira plans to use these minions to enact his plan. When the Goseigers kill each one, they absorb their Gosei energy, turning them into giant drills. OH. So that’s why Brajira has Dark Gosei Power. So he can’t just kill his servants. K. During this, however, he exposits to Hyde, the blue Goseiger, that he killed his partners. He has no remorse. No guilt. He doesn’t mourn them. His only reaction is smug pride at how powerful he had become, how he had the will to kill his allies to “save the earth”. Hyde gets pissed, delivering a great beat down on Brajira, the first since he started tapping into his full power. Gosei Knight is saved by Alata, the Red Goseiger, going Super Saiyan, but it’s too late. The three drills are in place. Brajira will destroy the planet and create a new, perfect one in its place. Brajira begins the ceremony, and after a fierce battle, Alata pulls a Trunks and cuts him in two, fatally wounding him. Oh, but he ain’t done yet! With his last ounce of strength, Brajira mocks our heroes, and then releases all his power to get the drills spinning. The world would die even if Brajira could not create the perfect world. The Goseigers stop it by… Shining their Gosei Power throughout the world? Yeah, this wasn’t the first Ass Pull. Goseiger’s all about belief and trying really hard, so these “miracles” happen a lot. It’s part of why the show isn’t as liked as stuff like Shinkenger, Boukenger, Gokaiger or some of the older seasons I haven’t watched.

Heinous by the standards of the story?

Brajira is the most prominent villain in the season and does the worst things and has the worst goal: Destruction of all he deems improper for his new world. He was manipulating the Warstar to conquer Earth, including that whole ignite the atmosphere thing. He released the Yuumaju from imprisonment to continue fighting the Goseigers. And- well, he was the one enslaved by Robogog… Anyway, wiping out humanity was all three villain groups’ goals, with Brajira wanting EVERYONE dead so he could start over. This includes those he aligned with. While it’s never shown, we can easily imagine he would have betrayed the Warstar eventually. He reaches the heinous standard in this regard, slightly surpassing his false allies. Then there’s his personal crimes: He murdered his old allies because he thought he could do better against the Yuumaju himself, betrays EVERYONE he’s ever worked with in some form and another (unless we’re counting crossovers in the future, and considering how he just teamed up with other villains for revenge, probably didn’t have enough time to betray them, was working with confirmed Monster Hades God Dagon and those crossovers are of questionable canon already, I’ll loudly ignore them), boasts about killing his allies, murdered Metal Alice after she saved him seemingly just because [[It’sAllAboutMe he didn’t want her in his new world]] and brainwashes Gosei Knight to fight his friends… I’d say he passes on more personal levels as well. Very easily, I might add.

Mitigating factors? Freudian excuse?

Alright, here we go: We know almost nothing of Brajira’s life in Gosei World. We don’t know if there was some catalyst to his treachery or something, the earliest point in his life we get to is him murdering his comrades. Some think this was a missed opportunity to flesh him out, others think he’s interesting and cool enough that it doesn’t matter. Another issue is whether or not time travel messed up his mind like it did his appearance and powers. There’s no indication he’s any different than before that and he acts with rationality and purpose, so I think he passes on this. He is willing to throw any ally he has under the bus, no matter how loyal, and kills Metal Alice for practically no reason. She might have even been down with his plan, we’ll never know. So he doesn't have any loved ones. He went for help when he came up with the plan, but after being rejected by the not evil parts of his race, he decided to kill them as well. I don't think his asking for help is disqualifying, since it's clear he needed assistance in his plans and even if it was it would mean nothing in the present day. I mean, you'd think he'd stop for a minute and reevaluate his plans, but he just thinks them weak and that they should die as well, voiding any sympathy he might have won.

And now, the big one: Is Brajira a Well-Intentioned Extremist? He thinks the world is corrupt probably because it got polluted enough to spawn Orgs- I mean, Yuumaju, which, you know, fair enough. I would argue, however, that his general attitude is that of a rather nasty Knight Templar than a WIE. He never shows anything but contempt for the Goseigers and their attempts to save the world, is proud of betraying his two allies and never expresses regret or remorse for their fate and tries to destroy the world when he is beat rather than let it continue. If I had to compare him to someone well known on this board, it would be Big Zamazu. While believing the universe to be corrupt, his actions and attitude revealed him for the hypocritical monster he was, one who wanted to burn down the old world to build a new one that lived up to his standards. He never defines what he means by “corrupt” either, so I think his noble posing is rather hollow.

Conclusion

A Knight Templar hell bent on wiping out Earth with himself as the sole survivor so he can create a new world because it’s “corrupt”, willing to betray anyone and everyone? I think he’s a solid keep. But, of course, others are free to comment if I screwed up on something. 50ish episodes makes overlooking easy.

[up]Up through Zyuranger, the franchise had...odd names for villains and groups. For instance: The villain group in the season before Bias's was called Tube. Other times, they just looked for the most obviously evil names ever (Black Cross Fuhrer, Dai Satan, etc. And that's not getting into how one of the two possible names for the apparent Big Bad of Sun Vulcan is Hell Satan).

EDIT: How can I forget that there's a villain group named Deathdark of all things? Oh, and Doctor Man is the name of a Big Bad. And that turns into a plot point.

[down] Yup. The plot point in question is that he Was Once a Man before turning himself into a cyborg.

[tup] to Bias and Brajira.

As far as Mr. Blonde goes, I don't think that tipping the waitress or his seeming loyalty to Joe do anything to mitigate him. Tipping the waitress isn't really a Pet the Dog moment; everyone else tipped her (except Mr. Pink) and he had no reason not to. He didn't do it to be nice, he did it because everyone else was doing it. And his loyalty to Joe and Eddie doesn't stop him from doing whatever he wants. In fact, as soon as Eddie leaves him alone with a hostage, Mr. Blonde starts torturing the guy. He even says "I don't have a boss" when the hostage calls Eddie Blonde's boss. Vic's a Faux Affably Evil sociopath; he can act half-decent, but the minute he can get away with it, he's a sadistic bastard.

On a similar note, has Michael Madsen played any CMs other than Mr. Blonde and William Carver?

@Polar Phantom: Tamatoa's not getting voted on. That he fails to qualify isn't up for debate here, so throwing in a [tdown] for a nonexample is kind of pointless.

I still think Abattoir falls short of the mark because if he had a Pet the Dog moment where it's only arguable that it rang hollow rather than definite that it did, there's too much ambiguity there. Plus he's got roughly the same resources as Zsasz and while you could argue that what he attempts is worse, the crimes he actually gets done fail to stand out the way Zsasz' do.

After reading it, I decided to offer a re-write to Akihiro Kurata of Digimon Savers (Digimon Data Squad)

Old version

Digimon Savers: The cowardly, bespectacled scientist, Akihiro Kurata, is the single most despicable human being to appear in the franchise. Planning on committing genocide on Digimon due to nothing more than a petty grudge while conquering the world, Kurata created the Gizumon that would kill Digimon and stop their natural reincarnation cycle, which he first unleashed upon a noble Digimon who had been a surrogate father to the boy Ikuto. Kurata's reaction to Ikuto sobbing over his father's loss was cruel, hysterical laughter. Kurata then created a weapon to kill thousands of Digimon in a single blast and blackmailed one of the humans into working for him by threatening to murder his sick sister, before experimenting on said sister. Kurata's hatred extended to awakening a monstrous demon and attempting to merge with it to obliterate everything he saw as an enemy.

New version:

Digimon Savers: Akihiro Kurata is the bestacled former assistant of Spencer Daimon, whom he secretly hated. During the expedition to the Digital World, after being frightened by several Digimon, he developed an obsessive hatred of them. Claiming that they are a threat to the world to justify his actions, he creates the artificial Digimon Gizumon, which permanently deletes a Digimon. Sending a group with the Gizumon, they murder hundreds of innocent Digimon in an attempt at their extinction. Upon finding the Digi-Egg of the Ancient Evil Belphemon, Kurata then decides to take control of the beast in order to make himself the ruler of both worlds. Pretending to be an ally to the heroes, he reveals his true colors with murdering Merukimon, mocking the latter’s hope for peace between humans and Digimon among his grieving love ones. Along this, he hires three criminals and turns them into “Bio-Hybrids” to help him with his plan to continue his murder spree, using the deceased’s data to resurrect Belphemon. He also kidnap’s Thomas’ little sister, promising the “cure” her by making her another Bio-Hybrid while having a bomb strapped to her to make Thomas work for him. In the climax of his plans, he merges with Belphemon and begins making dimensional tears that threaten to destroy the world. In his last attempt at vengeance, he sets off detonations meant to destroy the Digital World, only to open a hole big enough for the two worlds to collide. His last moments are screaming for help as his own actions cause him to be vaporized. A cowardly sociopath guilty of attempting genocide and world destruction, Kurata may not have been a Digimon, but made up for it by being a cruel, irredeemable excuse of a human.

The following describes his crimes in better detail.

  • [up][up][up][up] I agree on the first part, but not the second. From the FAQ:
    Do they have to succeed at what they try to do in order to count?: No, success is not a component of Complete Monster. After all, heroes succeed in fiction more often than not. What they consciously attempt to do is what matters.
    Though you know, I'm starting to have doubts myself. I may retract Abattoir. Though I beg to differ on Blonde.
  • MR. BLONDE: So you don't care that they're counting on your tip to live?
