* Abijah Fowler from ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai''. Despite being an utter monster, Fowler's surprising cunning, nightmarish brutality, layered backstory, and [[Creator/KennethBranagh voice actor's]] memorable performance made him a fan-favorite.

** Skeletor, of course. His performance by Creator/MarkHamill was well-received, his powers are awesome as usual, and while he doesn't get much time to shine, [[spoiler:when he returns from his seeming death, he ''takes the Power of Grayskull and becomes a god!'']] Definitely a solid showing from the self-proclaimed Lord of Destruction, especially one who (in the original franchise) lived only to get made a fool of by He-Man every week.
** Scare Glow was well-received in his brief appearance due to his imposing nature, voice, and awesome fight scenes. [[spoiler:Many called his fight with Teela, as duplicates of He-Man and herself respectively, highlights of the show, noting their gorgeous animation and his ''brutal'' deconstruction of her.]]
** Evil-Lyn was was already well-received in Part 1, but she absolutely reclaimed the "evil" part of it in Part 2, when [[spoiler: she turns on Skeletor and becomes a bigger threat than he ever was, claiming the Power of Grayskull, before having a lengthy and constantly escalating brawl with Adam, Skeletor, Orko, and even a Sorceress Teela]]. The fact she's a remarkably complex character doesn't exactly hurt either.
* ''WesternAnimation/MastersOfTheUniverseRevolution'' continues the trend:
** The show makes Hordak a [[GeniusBruiser intelligent]] GalacticConqueror who is introduced commenting about how countless heroes from countless worlds have failed to stop him, plus he's voiced by Creator/KeithDavid. [[spoiler: He even succeeded in conquering Eternia.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ObanStarRacers'': Canaletto, the true antagonist of the series and easily the strongest example in the entire show. As an ancient entity who once served as Avatar, he's as monstrous as they come with his plan to destroy the universe. And yet his [[TheChessmaster insane manipulation skills]], theatrical and oddly charismatic personality, creepy as hell design, story stopping powers, and Colin Murdock's cold yet hammy performance make him one of the best things about the show.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has several cool villains:
** Captain Grime comes across as a total badass with his competency as a fighter and [[VillainousValor lack of cowardice]] demonstrated when he decides to take on a flock of herons attacking Toad Tower himself.
** Sasha Waybright is a [[ManipulativeBitch skilled manipulator]] to the point she becomes the right-hand of Captain Grime. She is also a very skilled swordfighter, giving Anne a tough fight in the season 1 finale "Reunion".
** Tritonio Espada, a DashingHispanic salamander who is a skilled swordsmen running a defunct TrainJob organization. He also grows to eventually [[WorthyOpponent respect Anne]], taking his defeat like a champ.
** Curator Ponds, who's a CorruptedCharacterCopy of Stan Pines from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. As a result, he's [[LaughablyEvil quite entertaining]] to watch, jumpscaring visitors of his wax exhibit [[ItAmusedMe purely to troll them]], and shows that he can be surprisingly menacing by [[spoiler: manipulating Anne into [[AndIMustScream becoming part of his museum permanently]]]].
** [[spoiler: King Andrias shows himself as being a [[ManipulativeBastard master manipulator]] and commands an entire army of robo-frog minions. Despite his large frame, he is [[{{Acrofatic}} actually an agile combatant]] who even wields a [[CoolSword flaming sword]].]]
** [[spoiler: The Core, a MindHive of Amphibia's past rulers and greatest minds placed into a MechanicalAbomination, as well as the true BigBad of the entire series. Furthered when it transfers its consciousness into Marcy to become Darcy, a LaughablyEvil PsychopathicWomanchild with a SinisterScythe and a CoolHelmet.]]
** While he's an AntiVillain at worst, Mr. X can qualify thanks to his [[LaughablyEvil goofy mannerisms]] and being [[BewareTheSillyOnes rather competent]] in his attempts to capture the Plantars.

** [[BigBad Cronus]] is a suave, controlled gentleman who defines FauxAffablyEvil. He also has a SinisterScythe with an amazing number of powers.
** Out of all the minions Cronos recruits, Sybaris is among the most popular, primarily because she is given a sympathetic backstory (which is based on real myth, if considerably watered down to make it kid-friendly), has a terrifying voice, and comes incredibly close to actually successfully killing one of the heroes, along with getting a great fight scene with Hera.

** Catra, whose interesting and rounded character traits, cleverness, and combat skill rendered them among the most popular characters in the show even as [[BeingEvilSucks her villainy comes to make her miserable.]]
** Hordak is a fresh, [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic]] take on the EvilOverlord who has a cool voice and an intimidating design. He only became cooler with the revelation that he's a [[{{Determinator}} seriously determined individual]] and that he had HiddenDepths.
** Double Trouble, a non-binary shapeshifter and master actor, who relishes their role as an agent of chaos with pure, sadistic glee and ends up one of the only characters to never truly be defeated.
** Horde Prime exemplifies this more than any other character in the show, partly because he's the one character in the show to be completely irredeemable. He's the kind of evil espouses the traits that made [[Franchise/StarWars Emperor Palpatine]] and [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Thanos]] great villains, namely the former's cold, calculating, efficiency, not to mention his ruthlessness, and the latter's imposing figure with DarkMessiah characterization and his menacing BadassFingersnap. As such, while the other villains are gradually humanized, all of Horde Prime's screentime is devoted to making him as despicably awesome as possible, all delivered by a chillingly effective ColdHam performance that Keston John effortlessly distinguishes from Hordak.
