Using his wealth, Guitez begins tearing apart Mexican ruins looking for ancient and powerful runes, and threatens any nearby farmers off their land with death, ordering one beaten to death and shooting another in the head just for voicing their compaints against him. After murdering Judge Mendoza for displaying disgust at his crimes, Guitez plans to rape the man's daughter Maria before murdering her would-be rescuer, Steve Trevor. Guitez, finding the ancient runes he has been searching for, [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous absorbs the power of the demons residing within them]], travels to Los Angeles, crashes the plane he's on into a populated street, then goes on a massacre throughout the city for fun as he searches for other runes to make himself ever more powerful. Guitez's evil ran so deep, that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even one of the demons he absorbed proclaimed his shock at Guitez's sheer black soul]].

* [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol. 1]]: [[DiabolicalMastermind Cylvia Cyber]], also known as [[MadScientist Doctor Cyber]], is the leader of an unnamed NebulousEvilOrganization who was defeated by Wonder Woman after slaughtering a monastery full of monks just to get the valuables inside and staging a jewel heist in London. Returning to destroy Hong Kong and blackmail the world with Earthquake machines, Cyber was disfigured by a member of Tiger Tong after she had the group killed for [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer being of use to her]]. Irrationally [[NeverMyFault blaming Diana for this]], she ordered the EarthquakeMachine she placed across the world to be activated and tried to kill Diana herself, but was thought dead when one of the machines she was near exploded. Surviving and desiring to regain her beauty, Cyber returned multiple times to abduct women to transplant her brain into them, trying this on both Diana and Donna Troy, and [[MindRape fatally extracted]] information from a famous cosmetician in an attempt to graft Diana's face onto her own. Escaping custody and disguising herself as Diana, Cyber broke into the Pentagon and stole America's nuclear launch codes, planning to start a nuclear war and frame Diana for the deed.

* Edgar Cizko, better known as the infamous [[PsychoPsychologist Doctor Psycho]], is the epitome of a DepravedDwarf and a [[HeManWomanHater raging misogynist]] with a long and memorable rap sheet. Psycho introduced himself by psychically torturing a guidance counselor who confronts him over subtly manipulating the minds of a school's students and attempting to murder her and her unborn baby in the process. After this incident, Psycho would go on to wreak swaths of death and mayhem with his powers, often teaming up with others, racking up a count of [[PsychicAssistedSuicide driving and attempting to drive people to suicide]] on numerous occasions, molesting and raping women he fancies, going on a psychotic rampage after being called "normal" and, in possibly his worst moment, hypnotizing an entire crowd of people into partially cannibalizing each other. Psycho, [[NightmareFetishist aroused by this]], allowed the people to live as an act of sheer torture, even condemning them to feel his own sexual pleasure as their own. A man whose diminutive, nonthreatening stature is vastly disproportionate to his evil, Psycho is one of Diana's most shamelessly wicked rogues.
* [[EvilutionaryBiologist Doctor Poison II]] has only had a few appearances, but has made up for that with the sheer ugliness of the crimes she commits. The granddaughter of a Japanese war criminal, the original Doctor Poison, she has continued her grandmother's research, creating new toxins and diseases with which to infect the world. Kidnapping a man named Richard Agoras, Doctor Poison subjected him to lengthy [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]] and experimentation, ultimately using the Pandora Virus to mutate him into a hideous monster, and unleashing him on Wonder Woman. When captured following this incident, Doctor Poison released the Pandora Virus into the atmosphere, endangering millions of lives. Escaping custody, Poison joined Queen Clea's new [[LegionOfDoom Villainy Incorporated]], and helped to overrun the PocketDimension of Skartaris, requesting that any prisoners they took be turned over to her for [[TestedOnHumans further use in her experiments]]. Using drugs and prolonged torture, Poison transformed her victims into living zombies, and forced them to battle their friends and relatives when Skartaris rose up against Clea's despotic regime. When Trinity betrayed Clea and attempted to eliminate all sapient life in Skartaris, Poison tried to prevent Wonder Woman from stopping Trinity, hoping to see [[OmnicidalManiac the dimension destroyed]] by Trinity's new virus; she later willingly loaned her talents to the collective responsible for producing the monster Genocide. Obsessed with [[MasterPoisoner producing the perfect toxic agents]] and little else, and making her appearance as [[BodyHorror horrible as possible]] in order to maximize fear in her victims, Doctor Poison II is as bad as a MadScientist can get.
* Sebastien Ballesteros, aka [[Characters/WonderWomanCheetah Cheetah]] III, quickly proved himself the worst person to ever hold the title. An Argentine [[CorruptCorporateExecutive robber baron]] who made his fortune collaborating with the UsefulNotes/NationalReorganizationProcess, Ballesteros decided real power trumped riches and stole the power of the Cheetah from Barbara Minerva, leaving her for dead. Kidnapping Diana's foster sister, Vanessa Kapatelis, Ballesteros [[MindRape psychologically]] and [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul surgically]] modified her into becoming the Silver Swan, then unleashed her on [[WouldHurtAChild Cassie Sandsmark's school]], leaving dozens of students injured or dead. He subsequently forced Vanessa to join in his and Circe's plot to murder half of New York, and personally captured Superman so that Circe could brainwash him into believing that he was Doomsday and turn him loose on Diana. After this plan failed, Ballesteros retreated to his base in Buenos Aires, where he plotted to slaughter protestors with his Cheetah powers, and burned down much of the city in battle with the returned Barbara Minerva. Escaping with his life, but not the whole of his fortune, Ballesteros again kidnapped Vanessa, who had been briefly freed by Wonder Woman, and put her through another round of [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil torture]], surgery, and psychological conditioning, before selling her to [[BigBadWannabe Veronica Cale]] for ten million dollars. Murdered by Minerva shortly afterwards, Ballesteros left behind a legacy of misery and shattered lives.

When his top general Belyllioth loses in a fight, Hath has her whipped thousands of times as punishment, and then tries to sentence Wonder Woman to the same fate when she saves the general. Having manipulated the Hellender team into unwittingly doing his bidding, Hath sends many demons to terrorize humanity before opening a portal to Earth and immediately slaughtering most of the Hellenders. Hath then proclaims his intent to create a new horrific kingdom of HellOnEarth itself by killing thousands of humans and using their souls as his meat puppets, and in the process Hath hopes to recapture an escaped Artemis to rape her into submission once again.

* ''Wonder Woman[=/=][[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan]]'', written by Creator/GailSimone:
** The [[FeatheredFiend Corvidae sisters]], [[BigBadDuumvirate Lila and Anive]], are ancient immortals bored with most of existence. Finding joy in gambling, the duo set up friends, brothers or even nations to war against one another while they enjoy the [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath duels]]. Helping to manage slave pits where fights to the death happen frequently, the duo attempt to set Conan and Diana to a deathmatch. When they refuse, the two decide to annihilate the city of Shamar and kill every last man, woman and child, even trying to have the slaves murdered before the heroes as an act of sheer spite.
** The sadistic slaver [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil Dellos]] is [[TheDragon the chief minion]] of the Corvidae who forces slaves into [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath duels to the death]] for the sake of bloodsport. A vicious murderer even outside the Corvidae's order, Dellos savagely abuses his slaves, forcing Conan and Wonder Woman to duel when he realizes Conan has mistaken Wonder Woman for his lost love. On the Corvidae's initiative, Dellos attempts to massacre every slave at the end, young and old.
