* Creator/Jude Law, the only British actor in ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'', predictably turns out to be the villain.

* In ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'', The BigBad Ruber is voiced by the British actor Creator/GaryOldman.
* In the ''Literature/RainbowMagic'' movie, Jack Frost is this -- though, like ''The Black Cauldron'', the heroes are also British.
* Jude Law, the only British actor in ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'', predictably turns out to be the villain.

* Mad Mod, a minor ComicBook/TeenTitans villain from TheSixties, who is probably better these days known for his appearance in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' cartoon, was a Carnaby Street fashion designer whose assumed name is derived from the Mod style popular in England at the time. He used his label as a front to smuggle goods inside his clothing. After being foiled, he later hatched a plot to steal the Queen of Britain's scepter but was stopped as well.
%%* Toad from ComicBook/XMen was born in York, England.
* Franchise/{{Superman}} villain Manchester Black. Other than his thick English accent, omnipresent Union Jack tattoo, and a few snippets he told about his life, very little is known about his background, although he is most likely from the city of Manchester, England.
* ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} and ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica villain [[Characters/{{Hawkman}} Gentleman Ghost]] was the son of an English gentleman who abandoned both him and his mother, forcing them into poverty. He grew up to become a notorious highwayman and robber who terrorized England in the 1800s before eluding death to rise again as a phantom.
* The ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' miniseries ''Young Death'', which reveals the origin of Judge Death, strongly implies that he and the Dark Judges are British, or [[AlternateUniverse his world's equivalent of British]]. Although the comics are made in the United Kingdom, Judge Dredd himself is a post-Apocalyptic American. Retconned in ''ComicBook/TheFallOfDeadworld'' series, which establishes that the Dark Judges are from an alternate America.

** ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': Recurring foe Sir Edmund Dorrance aka King Snake hates that he lives past the age of British colonialism, it's not so much that he seems particularly proud to be British, he's just incredibly racist and misogynistic, thinks himself above everyone else and hates that foreign (and his own) governments take issue with his trying to subjugate, torture and kill people.
* LowerClassLout Billy Butcher in ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' had high-functioning psychopathy and was more ChaoticNeutral than full-on evil. Though he was violent, unstable, and manipulative, he was very much capable of concern for his fellow man. Though this concern was largely kept to his closest allies. Everyone else meant little to him, and he outright ''[[FantasticRacism hated]]'' [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual supes]] [[spoiler: to the point of [[HeWhoFightsMonsters trying to enact a]] FinalSolution against them]].

** The ComicBook/PostCrisis version of ComicBook/WonderWoman foe the ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} was a British archeologist named Barbara-Ann Minerva. The ''ComicBook/New52'' reboot relocated her to Idado, but her Nottinghamshire background was restored in ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', although that also made her more of a TragicVillain.

* ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'' has Dystopia, an undead version of UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire from {{Hell}} whose inhabitants are [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent greedy reptilian monsters]]. Their capital is named Donlon (London not-quite-backwards) and their monarch, [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Perfidia]], is strangely uncanny to UsefulNotes/ElizabethI. [[spoiler:And who their greatest champion is revealed to be? '''Myth/KingArthur''']].

* Both the Fairy Godmother and her son Prince Charming from the ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' franchise are not only immoral adaptations of their respective original sources, but were also voiced by English actors (specifically, Creator/JenniferSaunders and Creator/RupertEverett respectively).

The exact origin of this trope is unknown, but American examples of it probably have roots in nationalistic pride given the United States' world-famous origin story: UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution. Ergo, American accent = good, British accent = bad. Another theoretical explanation for this trope's existence is perhaps the United Kingdom's long history of colonization as the British Empire, where it conquered significant chunks of territories from various areas besides their own (obviously including those from the present-day United States) in the entire world, thus giving its nickname "'''the Empire Where the Sun Never Sets'''."

** Tai Lung from the first ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' movie. Being voiced by Creator/IanMcShane just makes him more badass

%%* Creator/SeanBean:
%%** Most of his acting career revolves around him playing Evil Brits.

* ''Film/SororityRow'': [[spoiler:Andy Richards, Cassidy Tappan's boyfriend, was revealed to be the weapon-wielding guy behind the dark graduation cloak who [[AllAbusersAreMale primarily targets Theta Pi]], initially for his girlfriend to not be prosecuted with the abrupt death of Megan from a prank that was set by the girls themselves.]]
