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:

Complete Monster Cleanup Thread

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

Yes to Daisy May and if all this talk of an FE for Nessiah really just is Alternative Character Interpretation built on an ambiguous backstory, add me to the yeses there too.

If it's ambiguous, then at the very least, there's a whole hell of a lot of pages that need to be cleaned up (not least of which is Hector's entry). I'm somewhat wary how SO many things could be wrong.

So anyone got an image for the fallout page ? It could do with one.

I'm really just confused about the whole Nessiah thing. I just checked the Dept. Heaven wiki and it mentions his backstory as a pacifist who was tortured by Hector. I have absolutely 0 familiarity with the series so I don't know for sure what's true but this all seems really weird. Put me down as a permanent abstain. [tup] Daisy May.

I've held onto my abstention for no so that's cleared up. There's contradicting information everywhere... actually, I might like to see some sort of source cited or a direct quotation for the game for the defense. I'd trust that more.

For Super Buu. Are these accurate?

  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Super Buu still loves Hercule and Bee as friends. He spares the two after his creation in favor of seeking other fighters to go up against. And, while using an attack designed to wipe out everyone on Earth in two minutes, multiple shots stray towards the two, but always stray off course at the last second as if he physically can't bring himself to hurt them.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: When Vegita threatens to rip Fat Buu out of his body, Super Buu is terrified and begs him not to. Whilst primarily terrified of losing himself as a result, he also uses phrases like "that's the last thing you should do!", implying he's also genuinely scared of what Kid Buu will do without Fat Buu's moderating influence.

The first seems like he LITERALLY can't; the second seems more like Pragmatic Villainy.

[up][up]

Cut both

With the first one it was still early into his creation and hence he still had tge influence of Good Buu (Who prevented him from hurting them) , hence why he wouldnt hurt them. Later he evolves into his own thing and genuinely hates them even mocks To Hercules' face that he killed his daughter.

The other is him doing that cause you know he'll cease to exist, why would that be mitigating.

  • Lupin III franchise:
    • "Red Jacket" series: Wealthy socialite William Huffner, from "The Bride Came D.O.A.", is Fujiko Mine's husband and mark to steal his jewels. Huffner, however, is secretly a ruthless Serial Killer who cheerfully murders his wives to preserve their corpses in a twisted form of art and relishes killing the women with his bare hands. To date, Huffner has murdered 99 wives and intends on making Fujiko the 100th, gloating when he corners her to try to kill her and add her to his sick tableau.
    • Mystery of the Hemingway Papers: Crazy Mash is a sadist who works for the rebel forces on Colcaca Island in the Mediterranean Sea. He routinely leads his men to Rape, Pillage, and Burn innocent people all along the countryside. He is also a former comrade of Jigen's, and he betrayed Jigen and his entire group, gunned them all down and left Jigen for dead. Ultimately a Dirty Coward, he is unable to fight the superior Jigen one-on-one and wants to corner him in traps or when he's in a group.
    • The Woman Called Fujiko Mine: Count Luis Yu Almeida stands out from the dark cast, which consists of thieves, murderers, seductresses, assassins, and gang bosses as the protagonists. The mastermind behind horrible human experimentation and the owner of Glaucus Pharmaceuticals, Count Almeida and his scientists conducted Cold War experiments, including mind control, hypnosis, memory and personality manipulation, sensory deprivation, physical abuse, and rape. During the course of these experiments, Almeida convinced two scientists, Dr. Fritz Kaiser and his wife, to include their young daughter in the experimental trials, before murdering Dr. Kaiser. Almeida adds the memories of the tortures he puts his other experimental subjects through to her memories. Thirteen years later, we see how insane this woman has gone from everything the Count has done to her. Glaucus Pharmaceuticals is now kidnapping children and adults, disguising human experimentation as cult fanatics, and keeping surveillance almost everywhere. Based on all the evidence Lupin compiles on Almeida's guilt, the Count's only desire was to create the perfect slave. The revelation that Luis is already dead by the time the series takes place only drives in the injustice of all he has done.

With his squad, Soiken has Hoizon kidnap hero Yagyu Jubei's dying father to make him a demon, spreads a disease upon the Kishu village that causes its citizens to go mad, and tries to have Jubei resurrected to serve as his most powerful fighter.
  • Steel Jeeg:
    • Original manga:
      • Queen Himika is the vicious ruler of the Jamatai Kingdom. Upon the revival of her kingdom, Himika has the only ones who know of the Jamatai Kingdom murdered and sets about attempting to exterminate humanity. Himika sends her men to massacre humans, attempting to turn Tokyo into a sea of blood while being viciously unforgiving towards failure. At one point, Himika happily massacres tons of her own men before sending many others to be suicide bombers. In the final chapters, Himika takes over the efforts herself, attempting to kill every human in Japan while brainwashing soldiers into killing their own people before murdering them herself, stopping at nothing to exterminate those she sees as beneath her.
      • Ikima is the evilest of the three generals serving Queen Himika. Awakening Himika from her slumber, he proceeds to help her in her quest to exterminate mankind and rebuild her kingdom, often serving as the leader of her forces and Phantoms. Killing Hiroshi Shiba and mortally wounding his father while out killing the ones who know of Jamatai, Ikima does whatever he can to take down Steel Jeeg and friends, whether it be having rabid dogs attempt to slaughter his family, launching attacks on his Build Base, or kidnapping Micchi. Piloting Himika's Phantasm Fortress, Ikima relishes in the destruction he rains upon Japan as countless people are burned to death, while also ordering various Phantoms to tear numerous cities apart. Once Himika chooses to kill Hiroshi herself, Ikima decides to brainwash countless humans into becoming Haniwa soldiers, hoping to enslave everyone in Japan.
    • Kotetsushin Jeeg (Steel God Jeeg): Queen Himika is the ruler of the Jamatai Kingdom. Originally an alien who blew up countless planets alongside Takeru and Miyazu, she decided to take over Earth and slaughter humanity after landing on it. Sealed away by Takeru and Miyazu, she later awakens to claim the Bronze Bells, which would grant her special powers. Creating a deadly fog barrier surrounding Kyushu, she orders her henchmen to bring her the Bells, supplying them with Phantoms and Yomi soldiers that cause much havoc and death. After she and Tsubaki make a connection through the Bells, she has Tsubaki kidnapped and uses her powers to acquire the Bells, tossing her aside once she's through with her. Using the Bells' power, she awakens her Phantom Fortress and has it destroy everything in its path before heading to the moon and unlocking the Great Bronze Bell. With it, she kills hundreds of her fighters and creates a monster using the evil spirits of the world, ordering it to devour Earth's sorrows and annihilate humanity.
  • Twin Star Exorcists: In the anime, Y(u)uto Ijika corrupted innocent students into mindless, violent Impurities, forcing Rokuro to kill them. Traumatizing Rokuro to make him abandoning exorcism, Yuuto later mocks him for the horror he put him through. When his sister, Benio, finds out the truth of his vile deeds, he mocks her, revealing he never cared about her. After corrupting Rokuro's childhood friend into another impurity, Yuuto later wounds Benio and smashes her precious hairpin he gave her. Recovering from his injuries, he torments Rokuro and Benio, and after being defeated in the final battle, he threatens to launch an attack on the human world. Mortally wounded, he "congratulates" Rokuro for becoming a being prophesized to destroy the world.
  • General Modula is a cold, cruel man responsible for all the misery within the series. A treacherous man who once served proudly under the Galalunan Kingdom before being mistakenly thought dead by the King, Modula lets his cruelty consume him, allying with the monstrous Mutraddi and launching an invasion on Galaluna that leads to countless innocent people killed and the rest enslaved, with Modula murdering many of the rebels himself. Intent on utterly breaking the will of the Galalunan people by killing Princess Ilana, Modula sends the Mutraddi to wreak swaths of havoc and death on Earth to kill her, even using a living bomb called Tashy 497 to potentially decimate the entire planet to get at her—vaporizing his own minion once he fails to do his job and threatening his successor with the same fate should he fail him. A man who has long abandoned any honorable traits he may have had, Modula is a walking nightmare worse than even the literal monsters he rules over.
  • Justice, Inc.: The Avenger, by Christopher Sequeira, Mark Waid, et al.: Travis Engel is a wealthy industrialist who owns a chemical company, but happily betrays America for Nazi Germany solely for the money. Inventing a gas that causes invisibility, Engel tries to perfect it when it renders the subject partially invisible, drives them insane and kills them in hours. Engel proceeds to use it on multiple innocent people before capturing the hero Richard Benson's friends and using it on one named Nellie solely so her Love Interest can watch her die. Engel then proceeds to attempt to drop the gas on American soldiers to kill them and allow German boats to raze the US coast, allowing for a brutal German invasion as long as Engel himself profits.
  • Xaltotun of Python is an ancient sorcerer, one of the rulers of the dark empire of Acheron revived in a dark ritual to help a group of conspirators seize Conan's throne. Creating a plague that kills hundreds to sow unrest with Conan, Xaltotun assists in overthrowing the king and then sits back to let his allies enjoy the spoils. However, Xaltotun has his own agenda. Playing his allies to gain even more bloodshed, Xaltotun intends on reviving the lost empire of Acheron by instituting the greatest blood sacrifice the world has ever seen until the lands run with rivers of blood, all to revive a long-dead magocracy where innocents are regularly sacrificed to fuel his powers. When Conan and allies return to confront the ancient sorcerer, Xaltotun is in the process of sacrificing a woman to bring forth a spell that will annihilate Conan's armies.
  • Valerius, upon taking the throne of Aquilonia from Conan thanks to the aforementioned Xaltotun, soon comes to the realization he is expendable to his allies. In a rage, Valerius decides to ruin Aquilonia beyond all hope of repair. Valerius taxes the people to starvation, beyond hope of paying and sells those who cannot meet the tax into slavery while allowing his soldiers to rape, brutalize and kill innocent civilians at will. Succumbing to debauchery, Valerius enacts purges of those he believes are disloyal to him, even sentencing the Countess of Albiona to death when she refuses to become his concubine.
  • Super Buu has agency over his actions, unlike his previous forms, and simply chooses to be an Omnicidal Maniac. When Piccolo distracts Super Buu to allow Goten and Trunks time to master the fusion technique, Super Buu irritably uses his "Human Extinction Attack" to eradicate the entire population of Earth. Tormenting those not killed by staying in Kami Tower, Super Buu turns Chichi into an egg and smashes it for annoying him, and turns everyone else except Gotenks and Piccolo into candy before eating them alive. Absorbing Gotenks and Piccolo, Super Buu beats Gohan to near-death while repeating a mockery of Piccolo's teachings to mentally torment him. Absorbing Gohan as well, Super Buu declares he will use his newfound, nigh-limitless power to enjoy systematically wiping out all life on every planet in the universe he comes across. Becoming enraged by neither being able to overpower nor outsmart Vegito, Super Buu shrieks in frustration, releasing his power through them and begins warping the space between dimensions, causing them to collapse on each other and threatening the stability of the multiverse. A callous sadist, Super Buu would happily snuff out all sentient life just to spite Vegito for besting him in combat.
  • House of the Dead: Castillo Sermano was a Spanish priest who delved into ghastly experiments on human beings.

Failing miserably at the job, Lucifer supposedly begins to connect with his son Jack, but when Jack sees him for the egotistical monster he really is, Lucifer steals Jack's powers and decides to annihilate all life in the universe and remake it in his own image, even trying to force Sam and Jack to choose which of them will kill himself first to give the other a vague chance at stopping Lucifer. While trying to paint himself as a tragic figure, Lucifer is an egotistical brat throwing a temper tantrum, whose every redeeming quality is steadily stripped away until he is shown to be a selfish sociopath with a god complex who utterly rejects love and compassion in favor of cruelty and egotism.
  • Vengeance Unlimited: General Rumano and his right-hand man, Colonel Oscar Ponce, both from "Security", were military officers in El Salvador who led brutal, horrific purges of local populations. Massacring entire villages, with women raped and mass graves filled, the two later fled to the US under new identities. When a survivor named Elena recognized Ponce, he tries to murder her on the spot. When the hero Mr. Chapel gets involved to bring them to justice, Rumano shows no remorse in trying to have all the survivors murdered, along with their innocent families just to lay the matter to rest. Neither shows any remorse for all the innocent people they've murdered, and stand as the worst people Mr. Chapel has ever attempted to bring down.
  • Rolf "Roffe" Liljeberg, from "The Secret", is a pedophilic retired commissioner who at first seems like a really nice guy who is enjoying his retirement after a long career as a police officer. He helps the protagonists find the man who killed a boy named Johannes, the suspect being one of Rolf's friends Magnus. He manages to keep a really good façade, but his true colors are shown when Stefan remembers how he was heavily abused by Rolf as a child, and a flashback scene is shown where Stefan is running away from Rolf and gets his scar. Stefan goes home to Rolf, and constantly points his gun against Rolf and is willing to shoot him. Rolf laughs and wants Stefan to kill him, since he'll never get away with it. He also states that no one else has successfully tried getting away with similar things previously either. A picture can be seen of a young Stefan naked in Rolf's house. All of this is too much for Stefan to handle, so he commits suicide. It is also now revealed that Rolf is behind the murder of Johannes as well. In his last scene, he kills one of his friends for revealing to much information to the police and tries killing her child as well, but fails. Even in a series like Wallander, where all of the main antagonists have murdered at the very least one person, Rolf stands out in the series as the most sadistic and violent pedophile, and the only one portrayed as a sadist who commits his crimes for fun.
  • Victor Nilsson, from "Missing", is a sociopathic Serial Rapist and Serial Killer, and the only season 3 Monster of the Week who has no sort of redeeming qualities whatsoever. At first appearing to be the nicest person in the episode, he uses his position as a wealthy local grocery store owner in order to get a good relationship with people living nearby, primarily women. After he has built a good, personal relationship with them, he rapes them and puts them in plastic bags, which he collects in his basement. He is also behind the disappearance of a little girl. He even tries raping and killing the girl's mother, who he has previously had a loving relationship with. When Wallander realizes that Victor is behind everything and goes to Victor's basement to save her and his own daughter Linda, who Victor had also tried killing, over twenty bodies are shown, much to Wallander's disgust.
  • Captain Marvel: Walker, or He Who Walks Beyond Life and Death Like a Colossus, from the May 2001 and June 2001 issues, was a death god of a distant galaxy who, seeking to impress Mistress Death, murdered every soul in his galaxy and entrapped them within him, in horrible torment. When Death was repulsed and turned from Walker, he decided to murder her out of spite, hunting her to Earth where he attempts to get her attention by killing people close to the current host of death, even resorting to Cold-Blooded Torture to draw her out. When Death refuses to show herself at first, Walker reveals he will happily take the Earth apart "molecule by molecule", willing to annihilate everything in his path solely for being spurned by the object of his obsession.
  • Fable II: Once a young man from Oakvale, Reaver mistakenly destroyed his village by making a pact with demons for immortality. Initially horrified by what he had done, Reaver's avarice led him to continue his bargain with the demons, routinely sacrificing unwitting people to them in return for maintaining his own eternal youth. A petty hedonist, Reaver also shoots multiple artists dead for not depicting him according to his wishes. In Fable III, Reaver becomes a greedy industrialist, using children for labor and forcing his workers into unsafe conditions, killing those who protest against him. When the Hero of Brightwall becomes the ruler of Albion, Reaver acts as an evil advisor to them, suggesting they destroy forests and schools to make room for facilities for his own business ventures.
  • Fable III: The monstrous Crawler is an agent of the Corrupter that seeks to destroy both Aurora and Albion. First seen using its powers to mentally force the Hero of Brightwall's mentor Walter into submission, the Crawler forces him to relive his most painful memories, slowly driving him mad before attempting the same on the Hero. Revealed to have led an attack on Aurora, the Crawler is responsible for a massacre within the nation and intends to do the same to Albion. Launching its assault, the Crawler possesses Walter and forces him to fight the Hero while it's minions attack the country, potentially killing millions.
  • Before the Storm: The psychopathic crime boss Damon Merrick operates drug-running and dog fighting rings and is responsible for a slew of murders and sexual assaults. Introduced beating a man who owes him money, Damon either makes the man's brother break his own arm if paid or breaks the man's leg if not. Confronting Chloe and Rachel while they look for Rachel's mother, Damon threatens them, stabbing Rachel upon getting into an altercation with her, trying to kill her and stabbing a man who saves her. Discovered to have abducted a girl for Chloe's District Attorney father, Damon has been promised evidence against him would be destroyed, a cash payment and the name of an informant he intends to kill. Planning to force the captive girl back into drug addiction, Damon tries to kill both Chloe and the man who saved Rachel when they try to stop him.
  • Trollhunters: Morgana, also known as Argante, Baba Yaga and the Pale Lady, is the true Big Bad of the series. An evil sorceress who helped Gunmar the Black rise to power to destroy humanity, Morgana was imprisoned by Merlin, but corrupted the once-noble troll warrior Angor Rot, using him as an assassin to kill trolls and Merlin's trollhunters. Possessing Claire Nunez to kill her friends, Morgana is later released and asserts her control over Gunmar's forces, the Gum-Gums. Killing most of Gunmar's followers to empower her spell to create an Eternal Night, Morgana launches an invasion of Arcadia Bay with clear instructions for Gunmar to massacre and devour most of the humans within before spreading out to conquer the rest of the world, with most of said world being destroyed to fuel Morgana's limitless ambition.
  • The Tooth Fairy is the main antagonist of the haunted attraction of the same name. He is a supernatural entity obsessed with teeth and will break into the homes of children who have just lost teeth to violently kidnap them and take them to a realm of his own. There, he and his minions will brutally and painfully imprison and torture them, ripping out their intestines, bones, organs, and teeth until they are dead. He commands his minions to make things as horrific as possible, using massive drills, saws, hooks, and knives to mutilate and torment the innocent children. His realm is filled with torture equipment and things he has stolen, including the children's toys and the coins their parents left under their pillows. He decorates his realm with pinned butterflies, jars of children's organs, teeth, and stretched-out human skin. He kidnaps some adult victims to torture and forces them to watch the horrors, even making a hallway from severed mouths, one of which is still screaming. He creates a maze out of children's bodies pinned and tied to mattresses, and will attack guests and try to rip out their teeth.

I agree the Even Evil Has Standards in regards to Super Buu is definitely misuse. It's clear he's scared of a Loss of Identity, not Kid Buu's appetite for destruction (isn't Super Buu technically an Omnicidal Maniac himself?). It does seem like he can't bring himself to kill Hercule and Bee though. I also agree that Super Buu trying to destroy reality with his dimensional scream (which he did in both animes) to spite Vegito is notably heinous (only Merged Zamasu has done destruction on that scale).

Also what's the verdict on Shiki the Golden Lion (One Piece)? I remember us talking about him and him getting dropped without a consensus. I know he apparently has some respect for Roger (presumably as a Worthy Opponent) but I don't feel that's mitigating (especially as he planned to ravage the East Blue/Roger's home). His plan would've caused more casualties than Doflamingo's "Bird Cage" (which would've destroyed an entire country if Luffy hadn't stopped him). Despite his hammy Jamaican accent in the dub (which admittedly can sound a little silly at times) and occasional bouts of silliness like that dance scene , he's portrayed seriously enough and is very ruthless. In the Strong World movie, he only mentions Roger upon being defeated and he may even be interpreted as attacking the East Blue out of spite (it's at least a possibility).

I...THINK Shiki was voted down? The discussion may have just petered out.

Can we change the Big Eater in Super Buu's entry to To Serve Man? I think a trope about devouring sentient beings makes more sense than an—often comedic—one about someone who eats a lot.

Shiki was fully discussed and it was decided that he displayed a level of genuine respect for Roger to a mitigating point.
