** [[GodOfEvil Unicron]], essentially the ''Transformers'' equivalent of Satan. ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie Transformers: The Movie]]'' opens up with him destroying an entire planet full of life, helping setting up the [[DarkerAndEdgier tone]] for the first of the movie.

* While Magica [=DeSpell=] has always been an EvilSorceress, in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' (and [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse its source comics]]) she's portrayed with humor and her goals and abilities are limited. ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' treats her much more seriously; the show [[AdaptationalBadass upgrades her]] into a powerful HumanoidAbomination who wants to outright ''kill'' the heroes, and encourages her niece to become [[EvilMentor equally ruthless]]. That said, later episodes have her portrayed as humorous like her original counterpart.

** According to the show's creators, this is what Baron Ünderbheit [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was intended to be]]. While the other villains were, to borrow a quote from Brock, "a bunch of weirdos running around in tights", Ünderbheit was meant to contrast them by being a scary, ruthless, effective, serious and proper evil villain. The issue is his gimmick came off as so overblown it became silly, as his metal jaw and over-the-top dictatorship was ''goofier'' than even villains like The Monarch, and a lot of his ''truly'' monstrous acts like orphan slave labour never made it into the show. In the end he just became a doofy, unmemorable villain who [[CreatorsPest was particularly hard to write]], while other villains like Phantom Limb, Red Death, and even ''Henchman 21'' could more hilariously [[{{Bathos}} be complete jokes AND serious threats]] in a BunnyEarsLawyer kind of way.

* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'': About every fight Coop partakes in comes with its share of comical moments, that is until at the end of the second season when he encounters [[EvilMeScaresMe Evil Coop]], an alternate version of himself that became a ruthless BloodKnight and conqueror. His arrival marked the one time the show took itself seriously, and when Coop tries his usual [[AttackAttackAttack attack strategy]], Evil Coop [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] him in seconds and actually destroys Megas in the process.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyAdventuresWithSuperman'': Nemesis Omega is first witnessed by Superman through a showing of the past when he leads an attack on the military's camp that is played deadly serious, with several on-screen casualties. It also puts a whole new perspective on why the General and Waller are willing to go to such lengths to detain Superman, who also experiences a HeroicBSOD upon seeing that Nemesis Omega is also a Kryptonian.
