* ''Recap/DiaryOfAnAnalog'': Machinedramon is given a '''major''' case of a CerebusRetcon regarding his origins, being depicted as not only the Dark Masters individual we know him as from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', but he's ''also'' the exact same Machinedramon from which Analogman had used in ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld''. Machinedramon, even though his remains have been rendered into a self-repairing sack of spare parts, even when currently helpless, Machinedramon is the one bullying the strings behind his figurative and literal dragon that is Darkdramon and the D-Brigade, from which Machinedramon is to Piedmon as Darkdramon is to Myotismon in the fact Machinedramon had created Darkdramon as a Digimon of free will who he would use as his PuppetKing for his new incarnation of the Dark Masters from whom Darkdramon will serve as his enforcer once his training is complete, even when it becomes aware that Darkdramon's free will gives him more than an agenda of his own accord, such as starting off his villainous deeds by agreeing to an anonymous bounty on Sora's head placed on her in the wake of [=Y2K=], and then proceeding to toy with his food by outright making Sora's waking life nothing short of a living hell for her in the following years.

** Thunderstorm and Shadow, the villains of season 3 finale "Thunderstorm", are shown to be the most competent threats the series has had thus far, actually managing to TakeOverTheWorld [[spoiler:and destroy [[DoAnythingRobot the MTM]]]]. It takes a ''lot'' to defeat them.

* ''Fanfic/AvengersInfiniteWars'':
** First of all, there is Durge, a PsychoForHire OneManArmy hired by Dooku specifically to deal with the Avengers. The mercenary is nothing but a sadistic and unstoppable monster, capable of mowing down true clone troopers as if they were made of paper and every time he shows up, people die by the dozens.
** [[spoiler:Ultron. While at first the genocidal A.I. decides to take his time and acts from the shadows, ''the very moment'' Ultron makes his grand debut in Chapter 47 by attacking not only Coruscant, but every major location important to factions of the conflict, ''everything'' goes to hell, with the villain scoring victories and forcing all sides into a corner over and over again. By the time the Citadel arc and his depraved AssimilationPlot is exposed, Ultron has officially surpassed both the Separatists and Sith as a threat not only to the Galaxy Far, Far Away, but to ''all'' life in the universe, forcing all sides to a truce.]]
** [[spoiler:The Son/Lord Bogan. After escaping his canonical death in Mortis, the embodiment of the Dark Side causes the story take an even bigger turn for the worst by taking control of the True Sith faction and helping the Darksiders bring some of the most powerful and dreaded Sith Lords back to life, throwing the Galaxy in even more chaos than Ultron did before him.]]
** And of course, [[spoiler:Thanos, who hasn't even physically appeared in the story yet, but whose sheer presence through Maul (himself already a major example of this trope) indicates he will bring the story to its DarkestHour.]]

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': While Colette Bevier has some comical moments, like when karma catches up to her, they do nothing to detract from the fact she's a rotten Spoiled Brat who has made it a hobby to make her stepsister Star miserable just for laughs since the minute they met through bullying her or stealing her boyfriends with Danny being the only exception which has turned her into a Stalker with a Crush toward him. She's at her worst in "[[Fanfic/DannyPhantomEmpowered Empowered]]" where she gets ghost powers and plots to take over the world, destroy Star, and make Danny her's by force, along with "[[Fanfic/DannyPhantomBlackmailed Blackmailed]]", where she's willing to ruin Team Phantom's lives by framing them for a crime and blackmail Danny into dating her.

* ''Fanfic/HeroesNeverDieItsHeroTime'': While All for One remains as much of threat as he is in canon, Vilgax, being the CrossoverVillainInChief takes this role. His status as TheDreaded makes any lightheartedness in the story go away simply by being mentioned, and then he officially makes his debut in Chapter 83, [[spoiler:delivering a massive GutPunch against the characters following All for One's defeat in Kamino, brutally killing several RedShirt characters before taking All Might away with him.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/MischiefMHA'': In true Marvel fashion, [[spoiler:[[OmnicidalManiac Ultron]]. From the moment the villainous A.I. is ''mentioned'' back in chapter 48, all lightheartdness of the story gradually falls down until it disappears completely during the I-Island arc. To immeadiatly establish himself as threat like no other the story presented so far, brainwashes Wolfram, kills Sam and all the Brotherhood mercenaries at the Expo in the most brutal and bloody way possible before setting off to enact a genocidal scheme to destroy humanity. By the end of the arc, not only he is the first major villain (besides Loki), to effectively defeat the Heroes, he is still loose on the world, and about to join the VillainTeamUp with Loki and Thanos.]]

** And finally, [[spoiler:Unicron, who [[TheGhost hasn't even appeared in the story as of R2]], but whose simple mention is enough to strike fear into does so. Of course, anyone remotely familliar with the ''Transformers'' lore knows it is only a matter of time until the Chaos Bringer makes himself known and then all Hell will break loose. Alongside the Cybertronian GodOfEvil as threat that has yet to fully reveal itself is Beleth, the first bearer of Evil Geass, who is pretty much TheAntichrist of this world, and directly responsible for the creation of Dark Geass, a malicious ability that only serves to bring pain and despair to those it is inflicted upon.]]

* ''Fanfic/CodePrime'': While certain antagonists like Starscream and even Megatron are undoubtedly evil, they still manage balance some levity from time to time. The characters below, not at all.

** V.V., while portrayed a BigBadWannabe that is always underestimating those around him, is still just as, and eventually more, vile than his canon counterpart.
** Shin Hyuga Shaing, is another example of it. An OmnicidalManiac that thrieves with the misery of others, specially his brother Akito, Shin is one of the most despicable and dreaded antagonists in the story that always makes things take a turn for the worse.

** The arrival of the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Worldkillers]] (Purity, Pestillence and Reign) on Arc V causes the story to go trough a case of CerebusSyndrome.

* ''Fanfic/BreatheInBreatheOut:'' [[spoiler: The Vine Nomu, aka High-End Zero.]] While the fic follows the'' My Hero Academia'' canon as closely as possible, considering the number of divergences on it, the trope namer is introduced on [[WhamEpisode Chapter 31.]] [[spoiler: Izuku, Momo, Yui, Miruko and Ryukyu head to raid a possible human trafficking operation. There, they find the High-End Zero, and this becomes one of the closest calls for the students since the USJ. The entire chapter evolves into a nightmare situation, with the five main characters barely making out of the battle alive and the High-End Zero not taking any damage despite their best efforts. It takes Nejire, the current wielder of One for All here, to kill the thing before it can finish off the heroes and students with a single strike. WordOfGod commented that if a High-End was able to almost to kill Endeavor in canon, there is no way two heroes and couple of students would stand a chance against it, even if it was a FlawedPrototype.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/IgnitedSpark'', The Villain Consortium, led by Nine and his crew. The first 13 chapters of the story are relatively lighthearted, even if a bit angsty at some points, but still with plenty upbeat. Until they showed up during the USJ. And then the arc develops into something straight out of horror story, with the main characters almost dying in the process.
