** [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen The Queen of Darkness]] is a spirit who [[DemonicPossession possesses Julie Hastings]] to ravage Darkman's city with Deadites. Having people killed en masse, the Queen plots to use the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' to empower herself and create a worldwide empire of the dead.

* ''Film/EvilDead2013'': [[YourSoulIsMine The Taker of Souls]] is a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demonic entity]] whose evil is so great that he is regarded as the Devil itself by many who face him. Often accidentally summoned by hapless innocents using the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Naturom Demonto]]'', the Taker seeks to [[DemonicPossession possess]], torment, and kill five people so as to use their feasted-upon souls to summon the nightmarish [[HumanoidAbomination Abomination]] to the mortal realm. In one instance of his summoning, the Taker turned a teenage girl into his host and killed her mother, laughing in her father's face about it. In the present, the Taker possesses Mia by raping her, then goes about torturing and maiming her and her friends in horrific ways while picking them all off. The Taker gleefully mocks her brother all the while that Mia and their mother are burning in Hell, and he'll soon join them for daring to defy the Taker.

[[folder:2004 - 2010 run]]
* [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Ash]] is Ash's most [[ArchEnemy consistent and personal nemesis]] across his journey. Always seeking to subjugate humanity to turn Earth into a world of Deadites, Evil Ash constantly works towards this goal, whether through resurrecting his army of darkness in Egypt or allying with {{Dracula}} to kill his "goody two shoes" counterpart. When he's finally released by Evil Sheila, he declares himself Evil Ash Prime and proceeds to TakeOverTheWorld, leaving most of it a barren wasteland ruled by the dead. Having killed and enslaved everyone he could before mutating the remaining survivors, Evil Ash spends most of his days [[SerialRapist raping every woman he can find]], with not even his supposed "queen" immune to his spiteful rage.
* "Ash vs. Re-Animator": [[TheManBehindTheMan Doctor Whateley]] is a demonic entity who seeks to release Yog-Sothoth upon the world to [[OmnicidalManiac eradicate everyone on it]]. Seeking a Deadite army for this goal, Whateley removes the conscience of [[Literature/HerbertWestReanimator Dr. Herbert West]], backing his [[PlayingWithSyringes horrific experiments]] which leave many people zombified. Beginning the process to bring [[EldritchAbomination Yog-Sothoth]] to Earth, Whateley unleashes the evil force in Arkham Asylum, instantly killing almost everyone within before welcoming his "father" to the world to wipe humanity out entirely.
* "The Death of Ash" & "From the Ashes": [[DarkMistress Evil Sheila]] is [[EvilDoppelganger Sheila's Deadite counterpart]] and matches her "lover" in horrific creativity. After being released in Castle Kandar, Evil Shelia immediately took it over, converting everyone inside into Deadites before beginning a long-term plan to spread evil throughout the world. [[HistoricalRapSheet Responsible for the acts]] of UsefulNotes/CharlesManson as well as several terrorist groups, Evil Sheila also tricks hundreds of people into eating Deadite flesh, leaving them ready to be possessed at a moment's notice, as well as founding the Cult of Death, the cult responsible for cursing Ash to face evil for his entire life. Eventually using a ritual to replace Ash with Evil Ash, Evil Sheila welcomes his subjugation of the world, only turning against him when he begins preferring "human whores" to her.
* "The Long Road Home":
** [[SoftSpokenSadist The Red Demon]] is the being responsible for the writing of the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' and thus responsible for [[GreaterScopeVillain all the evil the Deadites have wrought]]. Reawakening in the present day following Evil Ash's downfall, the demon summons the Four HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, using them to round up an army of slaves and kill any who resist. One by one, he removes his slaves' tongues, stitches their mouths shut, and flays them alive to create a new ''Necronomicon'', all while the slaves are [[AndIMustScream unable to scream in pain]]. When the new book is made, the demon tracks down Ash, killing everyone in his path, in order to use his blood to summon the Old Ones to destroy Earth entirely.
** [[RepulsiveRingmaster The Big Boss Man]], despite being [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters only human]], is one of the most monstrous creatures Ash has ever faced. Coming into Cleveland following Evil Ash's subjugation of the world, the Big Boss Man forces people to fight in rigged [[GladiatorGames gladiator matches]], having them killed in front of crowds for the profit and adoration it brings him. When the "visitors" inevitably lose, the Big Boss Man has them [[ImAHumanitarian barbecued and served to himself and the spectators]], threatening such a fate on his own team if they break their perfect streak. When Ash escapes his game, the Big Boss Man breaks his own rules by ordering his death, killing one of his own men for speaking out against this; and he simultaneously takes Sheila as his SexSlave, intending to rape her on the football field while everyone watches.
* "Hellbillies and Deadnecks" & "League of Light, Assemble!": [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Hell's Prophet]] is one of the most wicked demons ever, a presence who only appears to herald HellOnEarth when the forces of evil are close to prevailing. Dreaded even by his own kind, the Prophet's MO is to possess TheChosenOne of the respective time period and use their bodies to slaughter all their own allies, while massacring hundreds of innocent people for his own amusement along the way. The last time he did this was in Whitechapel as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, during which he spared an immortal angel named Aron after having butchered Aron's love interest in front of him purely to [[CruelMercy let him walk the Earth with the torment of having failed to save her]]. The Prophet manages to possess Ash after a scheme to poison millions of people with tainted water bottles fails, and it wreaks so much damage that Ash is forced to alter time to prevent the Prophet from possessing him.

* ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'': [[Characters/ANightmareOnElmStreetFreddyKrueger Freddy Krueger]] is the same [[WouldHurtAChild sadistic child-murdering monster]] he is in the films, and more. Following the events of [[Film/FreddyVsJason the film]], Freddy continues his spree of evil by once again manipulating [[Characters/FridayThe13thJasonVoorhees Jason Voorhees]] into finding the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' to grant him reality-warping powers before sending the Deadites against Jason when he turns against him. He takes things further in ''The Nightmare Warriors'', where upon his return, Freddy takes control of the Deadite army, placing Jason as general. At Freddy's behest, Jason and the Deadites leave death and destruction throughout Washington, where Freddy takes control of the White House where he reveals his plan for "No Child Left Alive" and the carnage he plans on spreading across the world. Revealing himself to be in an [[ParentalIncest incestuous relationship with his daughter Kathryn]], possibly due to brainwashing, when she fights with Jason, Freddy admits he plans to kill her when they are finished. Freddy possesses Stephanie to seduce and abduct Jacob, before encouraging Stephanie to kill as a Voorhees. Upon Jason's death, Freddy absorbs his soul as well before boasting himself as a "[[AGodAmI Dream God]]". Now desiring power and domination in addition to his bloodlust, Freddy takes his evil from the films to a more grandiose level.

With this achieved, the Chancellor intends on becoming a new "ChosenOne", using the book to kill the colonel's entire battalion and raising them as Deadites. Intending on having the Deadites slaughter all in their path to devastate the world, the Chancellor plans on converting everything into his Deadite army, even unleashing a demonic Dark One to do as much damage as possible.
* ''[[ComicBook/ArmyOfDarknessAshGetsHitched Ash Gets Hitched]]'', written by Creator/SteveNiles: "[[GreaterScopeVillain The Faceless Man]]" was the first Deadite and one of the creator of the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'', his own face sealing the Book of the Dead. After a failed attempt to spread Deadline influence resulted in his imprisonment, the Faceless Man escapes centuries later and massacres an army of hundreds of knights, {{flaying|Alive}} most of them alive and leaving their agonized bodies to serve as [[AndIMustScream meat puppets who beg for death]]. The Faceless Man intends to travel throughout all time and turn everyone who ever has or ever will exist into a Deadite, ushering in HellOnEarth before brutally beating Ash to near-death.
* ''[[ComicBook/ArmyOfDarknessAshInSpace Ash in Space]]'', written by Cullen Bunn: [[RoboticPsychopath Robo-Ash]] is the AI reincarnation of none other than [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Ash]]. After his seeming death, Robo-Ash regenerates from Ash's robotic hand and infects a space station, eventually corrupting and damning all but one innocent worker aboard the station. Robo-Ash intends to broadcast the Deadite influence to every satellite and screen in the world, resulting in [[DrivenToMadness mass insanity]] and carnage across the globe as families tear each other apart and people slaughter each other en masse until the the entire planet is [[HellOnEarth a Deadite paradise]].
* ''[[ComicBook/ArmyOfDarknessFuriousRoad Furious Road]]'', written by Creator/NancyACollins: [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Ash]] led the Deadites in his successful scheme to plunge the world in a Deadite apocalypse. Seeking to wipe out Ash and the survivors before they can complete the banishing ritual, Evil Ash has a cathedral slaughtered just to see the looks on the survivors' faces when they arrive. After {{Dracula}} rescues his daughter Eva and the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' from Evil Ash's clutches, Evil Ash persuades one of Dracula's brides into killing the other two brides in return for blood, before murdering her and crucifying the three [[KickTheDog just to spite Dracula]], before leading an attack on a monastery with the intent to wipe out all the monks inside and claim the ''Necronomicon'' for himself.
* ''[[ComicBook/AshVsTheArmyOfDarkness Ash vs. The Army of Darkness]]'', written by Chad Bowers & Chris Sims: [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Glen Friedrich]] is the director of S.M.A.R.T., an organization that defends against supernatural threats, but which Friedrich decides to betray for [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist his own power lust]].

At the school's big homecoming dance, Friedrich unleashes the full power of the Book, turning the entire population of hundreds into Deadites that Friedrich intends to use to wipe out his enemies and amass even more Deadites under his banner, specifically [[WouldHurtAChild targeting minors]] for how easy they are to control.

* 2004-2010 run:
** [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Ash]] is Ash's most [[ArchEnemy consistent and personal nemesis]] across his journey. Always seeking to subjugate humanity to turn Earth into a world of Deadites, Evil Ash constantly works towards this goal, whether through resurrecting his army of darkness in Egypt or allying with {{Dracula}} to kill his "goody two shoes" counterpart. When he's finally released by Evil Sheila, he declares himself Evil Ash Prime and proceeds to TakeOverTheWorld, leaving most of it a barren wasteland ruled by the dead. Having killed and enslaved everyone he could before mutating the remaining survivors, Evil Ash spends most of his days [[SerialRapist raping every woman he can find]], with not even his supposed "queen" immune to his spiteful rage.
** "Ash vs. Re-Animator": [[TheManBehindTheMan Doctor Whateley]] is a demonic entity who seeks to release Yog-Sothoth upon the world to [[OmnicidalManiac eradicate everyone on it]]. Seeking a Deadite army for this goal, Whateley removes the conscience of [[Literature/HerbertWestReanimator Dr. Herbert West]], backing his [[PlayingWithSyringes horrific experiments]] which leave many people zombified. Beginning the process to bring [[EldritchAbomination Yog-Sothoth]] to Earth, Whateley unleashes the evil force in Arkham Asylum, instantly killing almost everyone within before welcoming his "father" to the world to wipe humanity out entirely.
** "The Death of Ash" & "From the Ashes": [[DarkMistress Evil Sheila]] is [[EvilDoppelganger Sheila's Deadite counterpart]] and matches her "lover" in horrific creativity. After being released in Castle Kandar, Evil Shelia immediately took it over, converting everyone inside into Deadites before beginning a long-term plan to spread evil throughout the world. [[HistoricalRapSheet Responsible for the acts]] of UsefulNotes/CharlesManson as well as several terrorist groups, Evil Sheila also tricks hundreds of people into eating Deadite flesh, leaving them ready to be possessed at a moment's notice, as well as founding the Cult of Death, the cult responsible for cursing Ash to face evil for his entire life. Eventually using a ritual to replace Ash with Evil Ash, Evil Sheila welcomes his subjugation of the world, only turning against him when he begins preferring "human whores" to her.
** "The Long Road Home":
*** [[SoftSpokenSadist The Red Demon]] is the being responsible for the writing of the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' and thus responsible for [[GreaterScopeVillain all the evil the Deadites have wrought]]. Reawakening in the present day following Evil Ash's downfall, the demon summons the Four HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, using them to round up an army of slaves and kill any who resist. One by one, he removes his slaves' tongues, stitches their mouths shut, and flays them alive to create a new ''Necronomicon'', all while the slaves are [[AndIMustScream unable to scream in pain]]. When the new book is made, the demon tracks down Ash, killing everyone in his path, in order to use his blood to summon the Old Ones to destroy Earth entirely.
*** [[RepulsiveRingmaster The Big Boss Man]], despite being [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters only human]], is one of the most monstrous creatures Ash has ever faced. Coming into Cleveland following Evil Ash's subjugation of the world, the Big Boss Man forces people to fight in rigged [[GladiatorGames gladiator matches]], having them killed in front of crowds for the profit and adoration it brings him. When the "visitors" inevitably lose, the Big Boss Man has them [[ImAHumanitarian barbecued and served to himself and the spectators]], threatening such a fate on his own team if they break their perfect streak. When Ash escapes his game, the Big Boss Man breaks his own rules by ordering his death, killing one of his own men for speaking out against this; and he simultaneously takes Sheila as his SexSlave, intending to rape her on the football field while everyone watches.
** "Hellbillies and Deadnecks" & "League of Light, Assemble!": [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Hell's Prophet]] is one of the most wicked demons ever, a presence who only appears to herald HellOnEarth when the forces of evil are close to prevailing. Dreaded even by his own kind, the Prophet's MO is to possess TheChosenOne of the respective time period and use their bodies to slaughter all their own allies, while massacring hundreds of innocent people for his own amusement along the way. The last time he did this was in Whitechapel as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, during which he spared an immortal angel named Aron after having butchered Aron's love interest in front of him purely to [[CruelMercy let him walk the Earth with the torment of having failed to save her]]. The Prophet manages to possess Ash after a scheme to poison millions of people with tainted water bottles fails, and it wreaks so much damage that Ash is forced to alter time to prevent the Prophet from possessing him.
* ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'': [[Characters/ANightmareOnElmStreetFreddyKrueger Freddy Krueger]] is the same [[WouldHurtAChild sadistic child-murdering monster]] he is in the films, and more. Following the events of [[Film/FreddyVsJason the film]], Freddy continues his spree of evil by once again manipulating [[Characters/FridayThe13thJasonVoorhees Jason Voorhees]] into finding the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' to grant him reality-warping powers before sending the Deadites against Jason when he turns against him. He takes things further in ''The Nightmare Warriors'', where upon his return, Freddy takes control of the Deadite army, placing Jason as general. At Freddy's behest, Jason and the Deadites leave death and destruction throughout Washington, where Freddy takes control of the White House where he reveals his plan for "No Child Left Alive" and the carnage he plans on spreading across the world. Revealing himself to be in an [[ParentalIncest incestuous relationship with his daughter Kathryn]], possibly due to brainwashing, when she fights with Jason, Freddy admits he plans to kill her when they are finished. Freddy possesses Stephanie to seduce and abduct Jacob, before encouraging Stephanie to kill as a Voorhees. Upon Jason's death, Freddy absorbs his soul as well before boasting himself as a "[[AGodAmI Dream God]]". Now desiring power and domination in addition to his bloodlust, Freddy takes his evil from the films to a more grandiose level.
* ''ComicBook/DangerGirl and the [[ComicBook/DangerGirlAndTheArmyOfDarkness Army of Darkness]]'', written by Andy Hartnell: The nameless [[ManipulativeBastard Chancellor]] pushes for General Kage's war against the rebels, to make the conflict worse and to get his hands on the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]''. With this achieved, the Chancellor intends on becoming a new "ChosenOne", using the book to kill the colonel's entire battalion and raising them as Deadites. Intending on having the Deadites slaughter all in their path to devastate the world, the Chancellor plans on converting everything into his Deadite army, even unleashing a demonic Dark One to do as much damage as possible.
* ''[[ComicBook/ArmyOfDarknessAshGetsHitched Ash Gets Hitched]]'', written by Creator/SteveNiles: "[[GreaterScopeVillain The Faceless Man]]" was the first Deadite and one of the creator of the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'', his own face sealing the Book of the Dead. After a failed attempt to spread Deadline influence resulted in his imprisonment, the Faceless Man escapes centuries later and massacres an army of hundreds of knights, {{flaying|Alive}} most of them alive and leaving their agonized bodies to serve as [[AndIMustScream meat puppets who beg for death]]. The Faceless Man intends to travel throughout all time and turn everyone who ever has or ever will exist into a Deadite, ushering in HellOnEarth before brutally beating Ash to near-death.
* ''[[ComicBook/ArmyOfDarknessAshInSpace Ash in Space]]'', written by Cullen Bunn: [[RoboticPsychopath Robo-Ash]] is the AI reincarnation of none other than [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Ash]]. After his seeming death, Robo-Ash regenerates from Ash's robotic hand and infects a space station, eventually corrupting and damning all but one innocent worker aboard the station.

* Creator/{{THQ}} trilogy:
** ''[[VideoGame/EvilDeadHailToTheKing Hail to the King]]'': [[CardCarryingVillain Evil Ash]], born from a reflection of Ash in ''[[Film/EvilDead2 Dead by Dawn]]'', stands in stark contrast to [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness his medieval counterpart]] as a cold-blooded mastermind with even greater ambitions in store. Posing as the cowardly Father Allarde to trick Ash into doing the dirty work for him, Evil Ash soon goes back in time to Damascus 730 AD, where he collaborates with a local ApocalypseCult before disposing of them and revealing his ultimate plan to sacrifice Ash's new girlfriend to the eldritch Dark Ones and let them overrun Earth in return for being [[GodhoodSeeker rewarded with godhood]].
** ''[[VideoGame/EvilDeadRegeneration Regeneration]]'': [[PsychoPsychologist Dr. Vladimir Reinhard]], Ash's psychiatrist during his institutionalization at Sunny Meadows, developed an obsessive fascination for the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' and tested its properties on an ADHD patient for two years. Wanting to abuse the power of the book to reshape the world [[InTheirOwnImage to his liking]], Reinhard unleashed the Deadites in his own asylum and opened more portals to spread the corruption across the world. Becoming increasingly more sadistic, Reinhard changed his intentions to [[KillAllHumans wiping out all of humanity]] and tried to use Ash's lawyer as a HumanSacrifice to complete his work.
* ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'' season 2: [[FauxAffablyEvil Baal]], the GreaterScopeVillain of the entire franchise as a whole, was the demon responsible for the Deadites as their creator and father. Intending to allow evil to dominate Earth and enslave or slaughter humanity, Baal has his children turn on their mother and sends them to attack and slaughter humans. Baal then infiltrates the town of Elk Grove by skinning and impersonating multiple people before capturing Ash and subjecting him to [[MindRape mental torture]] where he traps him in a fantasy, making Ash believe that the entirety of the past 30 years have been an elaborate delusion, intending to use Ash to murder his own friends to destroy a threat to Baal. Upon being sent to the past, Baal has his ex-wife Ruby murdered by her still-evil 1982 incarnation and attempts to kill Ash in a duel, mocking Ash forever thinking he would have intentions of honoring the deal should Ash win. Responsible for the loss of countless lives thanks to the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' and the actions of the Deadites, Baal stands apart from the other Deadites for his ambition and cruelty.

* ''ComicBook/ArmyOfDarkness'':
** [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Ash]] is Ash's most [[ArchEnemy consistent and personal nemesis]] across his journey. Always seeking to subjugate humanity to turn Earth into a world of Deadites, Evil Ash constantly works towards this goal, whether through resurrecting his army of darkness in Egypt or allying with {{Dracula}} to kill his "goody two shoes" counterpart. When he's finally released by Evil Sheila, he declares himself Evil Ash Prime and proceeds to TakeOverTheWorld, leaving most of it a barren wasteland ruled by the dead. Having killed and enslaved everyone he could before mutating the remaining survivors, Evil Ash spends most of his days [[SerialRapist raping every woman he can find]], with not even his supposed "queen" immune to his spiteful rage.
** "Ash vs. Re-Animator": [[TheManBehindTheMan Doctor Whateley]] is a demonic entity who seeks to release Yog-Sothoth upon the world to [[OmnicidalManiac eradicate everyone on it]]. Seeking a Deadite army for this goal, Whateley removes the conscience of [[Literature/HerbertWestReanimator Dr. Herbert West]], backing his [[PlayingWithSyringes horrific experiments]] which leave many people zombified. Beginning the process to bring [[EldritchAbomination Yog-Sothoth]] to Earth, Whateley unleashes the evil force in Arkham Asylum, instantly killing almost everyone within before welcoming his "father" to the world to wipe humanity out entirely.
** "The Death of Ash" & "From the Ashes": [[DarkMistress Evil Sheila]] is [[EvilDoppelganger Sheila's Deadite counterpart]] and matches her "lover" in horrific creativity. After being released in Castle Kandar, Evil Shelia immediately took it over, converting everyone inside into Deadites before beginning a long-term plan to spread evil throughout the world. [[HistoricalRapSheet Responsible for the acts]] of UsefulNotes/CharlesManson as well as several terrorist groups, Evil Sheila also tricks hundreds of people into eating Deadite flesh, leaving them ready to be possessed at a moment's notice, as well as founding the Cult of Death, the cult responsible for cursing Ash to face evil for his entire life. Eventually using a ritual to replace Ash with Evil Ash, Evil Sheila welcomes his subjugation of the world, only turning against him when he begins preferring "human whores" to her.
** "The Long Road Home":
*** [[SoftSpokenSadist The Red Demon]] is the being responsible for the writing of the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' and thus responsible for [[GreaterScopeVillain all the evil the Deadites have wrought]]. Reawakening in the present day following Evil Ash's downfall, the demon summons the Four HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, using them to round up an army of slaves and kill any who resist. One by one, he removes his slaves' tongues, stitches their mouths shut, and flays them alive to create a new ''Necronomicon'', all while the slaves are [[AndIMustScream unable to scream in pain]]. When the new book is made, the demon tracks down Ash, killing everyone in his path, in order to use his blood to summon the Old Ones to destroy Earth entirely.
*** [[RepulsiveRingmaster The Big Boss Man]], despite being [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters only human]], is one of the most monstrous creatures Ash has ever faced. Coming into Cleveland following Evil Ash's subjugation of the world, the Big Boss Man forces people to fight in rigged [[GladiatorGames gladiator matches]], having them killed in front of crowds for the profit and adoration it brings him. When the "visitors" inevitably lose, the Big Boss Man has them [[ImAHumanitarian barbecued and served to himself and the spectators]], threatening such a fate on his own team if they break their perfect streak. When Ash escapes his game, the Big Boss Man breaks his own rules by ordering his death, killing one of his own men for speaking out against this; and he simultaneously takes Sheila as his SexSlave, intending to rape her on the football field while everyone watches.
** "Hellbillies And Deadnecks" & "League of Light, Assemble!": [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Hell's Prophet]] is one of the most wicked demons ever, a presence who only appears to herald HellOnEarth when the forces of evil are close to prevailing. Dreaded even by his own kind, the Prophet's MO is to possess TheChosenOne of the respective time period and use their bodies to slaughter all their own allies, while massacring hundreds of innocent people for his own amusement along the way. The last time he did this was in Whitechapel as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, during which he spared an immortal angel named Aron after having butchered Aron's love interest in front of him purely to [[CruelMercy let him walk the Earth with the torment of having failed to save her]]. The Prophet manages to possess Ash after a scheme to poison millions of people with tainted water bottles fails, and it wreaks so much damage that Ash is forced to alter time to prevent the Prophet from possessing him.
* ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'': [[Characters/ANightmareOnElmStreetFreddyKrueger Freddy Krueger]] is the same [[WouldHurtAChild sadistic child-murdering monster]] he is in the films, and more. Following the events of [[Film/FreddyVsJason the film]], Freddy continues his spree of evil by once again manipulating [[Characters/FridayThe13thJasonVoorhees Jason Voorhees]] into finding the ''[[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'' to grant him reality-warping powers before sending the Deadites against Jason when he turns against him. He takes things further in ''The Nightmare Warriors'', where upon his return, Freddy takes control of the Deadite army, placing Jason as general. At Freddy's behest, Jason and the Deadites leave death and destruction throughout Washington, where Freddy takes control of the White House where he reveals his plan for "No Child Left Alive" and the carnage he plans on spreading across the world. Revealing himself to be in an [[ParentalIncest incestuous relationship with his daughter Kathryn]], possibly due to brainwashing, when she fights with Jason, Freddy admits he plans to kill her when they are finished. Freddy possesses Stephanie to seduce and abduct Jacob, before encouraging Stephanie to kill as a Voorhees. Upon Jason's death, Freddy absorbs his soul as well before boasting himself as a "[[AGodAmI Dream God]]". Now desiring power and domination in addition to his bloodlust, Freddy takes his evil from the films to a more grandiose level.
