Please don't pothole Xanatos Gambit to "brilliant". It leads to trope decay.


There is a reason actors fight for the chance to play the bad guy. The lines [[ChewingTheScenery are great,]] the costumes [[EvilCostumeSwitch are awesome]], the [[VillainSong songs are spectacular]], [[EvilPlan their schemes]] are [[XanatosGambit brilliant]], the villains often look [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains much sexier than the heroes]], they have their fair share of CoolPlanes, CoolCars and CoolBoats to flaunt, and they don't have to spend the whole shoot pretending they are nicer than anyone they've ever met. No, seriously; [[https://www.wired.com/2012/07/why-do-supervillains-fascinate-us/ it's psychological!]]

* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
** After the LaughablyEvil villains adequate for a comedy series, season 6, with [[CerebusSyndrome its more serious and elaborate plot]] alongside the wacky antics, introduced the Meta, the most badass villain in the entire series, a hulking monstrosity who shoots or punches with no reservations and has the strength of twenty bears.
** ''[[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy The Chorus Trilogy]]'' had Locus, a deeply voiced and intimidating SpacePirate with an InvisibilityCloak and [[KnightOfCerebus who is never used for comedic purposes.]]
** While all three villains of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueZero'' aimed for this, the one that succeeded was Phase, an AffablyEvil Knife expert with a very flashy power, as that she [[TeleportSpam teleports to wherever the knife is thrown]].
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** Roman Torchwick was a surprising example, given his apparent NonActionGuy introduction. He proved himself to be quite the badass when he fended off both Blake and Sun at once and consistently gives his opponents a run for their money, all the while being stylish and snarky, and managing to look cool even while losing.
** Cinder Fall's debut had her PlayingWithFire and blocking bullets from Crescent Rose with her bare hands, then her subsequent battles showed off her materializing her bowsword out of volcanic glass and brutally curbstomping most of her opponents.
** Raven Branwen is essentially RWBY's take on a SocialDarwinist magical samurai Batman. Skewed morality aside, it is -at least- as cool as it sounds. Her decisive victory against Cinder truly cements how cool this woman is.
** Adam Taurus is a skilled swordsman, and capable of injuring Yang and sending the heroes running. Whilst he suffered BadassDecay in Volumes 4 and 5, he got to show off his charisma and skill once more in his own character short.
** Volume 7 cements Watts and Tyrian in this role, as they tear apart Atlas and Mantle with [[MagnificentBastard flair]] and [[EvilIsHammy enthusiasm.]]

* Mecha Sonic from ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' is incredibly evil, yet incredibly badass. Every time he appears in the story, he hands someone's ass over to them (Yoshi's [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutal defeat in episode 3]] and [[MookHorrorShow the utter massacre]] [[EarthShatteringKaboom that was episode 6 come to mind]]). The series is already 8 episodes long and the most heroes managed to do was temporarily inconvenience him.
* While calling him evil is a bit of a stretch, Strong Bad of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' was originally intended to be a bumbling bad guy who always lost. He quickly became the most popular character on the website. His old introduction video actually said "you don't know it yet, but ''I'm'' the ''real'' reason you're here." From the first Strong Bad Email: "Do you use [your powers] for good, or for awesome?"

* ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'' initially plays this straight, but the second half of the story [[AvertedTrope averts]] it ''[[{{Deconstruction}} hard]]''. At first, Jade is essentially the same character, with the addition that she's [[FaceHeelTurn now a villain]], and generally just succeeds where other villains failed just to prove that she ''can'', without really acting truly "evil" (at one point she organizes a complex scheme to steal the Dog Talisman for no other reason than to [[PetTheDog make her dog immortal]]). But SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs and between the continued Shadowkhan corruption, and a TraumaCongaLine she [[MotiveDecay slowly becomes]] [[SanitySlippage worse and]] [[TheCaligula worse]] and starts crossing the MoralEventHorizon repeatedly, and becoming less and less sympathetic. Lampshaded by the author at one point:

Why is all that true? Why does the bad guy get all the cool stuff? The more interesting the bad guy, the more interesting the story. It really is that simple. You don't have a story unless you have conflict. The bad guy in most cases ''is'' the conflict.
