History Monster / TheXFiles

''Series/TheXFiles'' was a nine-season LongRunner, and monsters were the show's thing. Some of these were genetic mutants who acted on predatory instincts and followed their biological needs. However, several of them crossed into the CompleteMonster territory. Often these cases were surprisingly light on the paranormal stuff, making them [[{{Mundanger}} fairly mundane and all the more frightening]].

* Dr. Jack Franklyn (real name: Dr. Clifford Cox) from season 4's "[[Recap/TheXFilesS04E06Sanguinarium Sanguinarium]]" is a [[DeadlyDoctor demonic doctor]] and a [[VainSorcerer narcissistic warlock]] who makes {{human sacrifice}}s by taking over the minds of various surgeons and having them kill patients in horrific ways (draining a patient's blood via liposuction, nearly cutting a patient's head off with a laser, and melting a patient's face off) so that he can retain his youth and looks.

* The Cigarette Smoking Man, also known as the Cancer Man, is Agent Mulder and Agent Scully's main antagonist and ''the'' villain of the MythArc. He's associated with the grand government conspiracy Mulder and Scully are trying to uncover. While some of the conspirators are {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s, Cancer Man doesn't fit the bill. Whenever it would appear that he showed compassion or altruism, he in fact tried to manipulate people or played evil tricks on them. He had numerous means to neutralize his opponents, but he often chose especially cruel ways. For instance, he tried to burn Mulder alive and let Scully be abducted and experimented on, which gave her cancer and made her infertile. He had his ex-wife and mother of his son turned into an alien-human hybrid. He attempted to murder his own son in cold blood; said son survived, and Cigarette Smoking Man had him experimented on in unspeakable ways. He ''did'' save the Agents' lives a couple of times, or at least he didn't interfere with their attempts of saving each other, but he admitted he did it because it's satisfying to see their spirits crushed. Although he claims he wants to atone in "En Ami", it's clear doesn't want it enough to actually change and he never feels guilty.
* Cecil L'Ively from "Fire" in the first season is one of the Complete Monsters that actually belong among the paranormal beings. He's a {{pyromaniac}} who can [[PlayingWithFire ignite things with his mind]] and who himself cannot be hurt by fire at all. He's a creepy stalker and pursues women in powerful positions, burning their husbands and other family members, including children, to death. He seems to genuinely enjoy torturing people and shows no remorse.
* Donald Pfaster from "Irresistible" and "Orison" is a necrophiliac who collects hair and fingers of his female victims after he's done with them. His fetish escalates into becoming a SerialKiller. He has some kind of twisted, sick affection for his victims which is utterly scary. He's a horribly menacing killer who shows no regrets for his deeds, looking surprised when he's caught. As if it was his right to treat people as he pleases.
* Colonel Wharton who appeared in "Fresh Bones". He's a sociopath that tortures people from Haiti who are held at an immigrant camp he's in charge of. It's revealed that he's responsible for several deaths: a small boy, a Haitian prisoner who knew voodoo and several of his soldiers that tried to stop him. He thought it's good to kill emigrants, better than sending them back home.
* Jack Franklyn from "Sanguinarium" is a [[DeadlyDoctor demonic doctor]] and a [[VainSorcerer narcissistic warlock]] who makes human sacrifices by taking over the minds of various surgeons and having them kill patients in horrific ways (draining a patient's blood via liposuction, nearly cutting a patient's head off with a laser, and melting a patient's face off) so that he can retain his youth and looks. [[KarmaHoudini Oh, and he escapes in the end without facing any consequences]], and finds another hospital where he can do the exact same thing.
* John Lee Roche from "Paper Hearts" is an utterly evil child molester and SerialKiller who killed 16 little girls. He manipulated their parents to trust him, and then came back and kidnapped the girls at night. He plays sick mind games with Agent Mulder and tries to convince him that he took his little sister Samantha (whose disappearance was not explained), even though it's not true. He manages to escape from prison during the re-opened investigation and tries to take another girl. When Mulder catches them, he nearly shoots her. He doesn't regret his deeds at all and would continue if he only could.

* Phyllis Paddock/Azazel/whatever she is in "Die Hand Die Verletzt". A high-level demon, her first onscreen appearance (albeit not fully seen) involves her lifting a teenaged boy into the air by his neck before brutally murdering him, all because he was unfortunate enough to have accidentally summoned her. From there, she spends most of the episode tricking Mulder and Scully into doing a good deal of her work for her, which results in the horrific death of an unfaithful believer of hers by being ''devoured alive by a python familiar''. What really pushes her over the edge, however, is her compelling an innocent teenage girl to kill herself for no reason other than because her father was one of her lapsed believers, ''even though she wanted nothing to do with it''. Oh, and the reason she did everything that she did boiled down to her being pissed about the town's cultists moving away from some of the more brutal and cruel rites associated with her worship in a spectacular display of EvilIsPetty. Really, the only remotely redeeming thing about her is that she saves Mulder and Scully from being killed by the remaining cultists, who thought that sacrificing them would get her off their asses, by compelling one of them to murder the other two before blowing his own head off. Plenty of villains and [=MOTWs=] have done worse things, but she has them all beat for sheer petty, needless cruelty.

Oh, and he escapes in the end while facing absolutely no consequences and finds another hospital to pull the exact same thing at.
