History WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds / WesternAnimation

* The {{DCAU}}'s rendition of [[spoiler: Ace from the Royal Flush Gang]]. [[spoiler: She's a scared pre-teen girl whose massive RealityWarper and MasterOfIllusion powers [[BlessedWithSuck have wrecked her life]]. She's first trained by the government, then joined TheJoker and the Gang, and ''then'' not only we learn [[PersonOfMassDestruction that Joker wants to use her to kill/mind rape everyone]], but she ends up snapping and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard mind-raping him]]. It ultimately turns out that [[spoiler: Ace's powers ''are killing her'' and she could potentially ''kill everyone in the whole city she's in'' as she passes away; and this happens in days when she's so desperately lonely that she has warped a part of a local park into a creepy house and kidnapped people to try making friends. Amanda Waller then tells {{Batman}} to give her a MercyKill before she has her fatal meltdown, but when confronted by him Ace tells him "StayWithMeUntilIDie", he complies and she dies quietly by his side, which keeps her from destroying the city. Batman then carries the kid's lifeless body in his arms, visibly and genuinely saddened by this.]]

* Mr. Freeze from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' was splashed with cryogenic chemicals while fighting with his boss, who he'd been stealing resources from to find a way to cure his terminally ill wife, Nora. He was even willing to kill innocent people to get revenge. This interpretation of Freeze proved so popular that it spread into most other adaptations of ''{{Batman}}''.

* Creator/FrankWelker personally thinks that his character Megatron from ''{{Transformers}}'' might be one of these, mentioning several times in his interviews that he asks himself why Megatron is so angry all the time, and it might because there are "a lot of hurt" inside him. It's somewhat played with in the IDW comic adaptation of ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' and in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''; there Megatron was a miner turned gladiator who suffered the harsh life of the Cybertronian working class, living under the corruption of the Autobot/Cybertronian high society, until he decided to change the system to a more equal variation in peaceful, non-violent ways, only to meet bloody supression. This forced the idealist to change his tactics to more violent ones, but the war slowly turned the idealistic rebel into a bitter and angry warmongering tyrant.

* Ace in ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'': very, very broken and very, very dangerous. If you're not {{Batman}}, that is, the only person she apparently trusts.

* Jimmy from EdEddNEddy in the episode "If It Smells Like An Ed." Eddy gives him a wedgie, so in response, he frames ''all three Eds'' and gets them pelted with food by the kids and dragged of by the Kankers.

** And then there's Mary Dahl, better known for her defining (make that "inescapable") role and catch phrase:
---> '''Baby Doll''': I didn't mean to...

* Blackarachnia from ''TransformersAnimated''. She ''really'' didn't want to be [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a half-organic mutant]], and only wants to be restored to her original form and re-accepted into Transformer society (namely, with the Decepticons; she no longer trusts the Autobots). However, the methods she resorts to are unethical and often dangerous, and her old friend Optimus knows that he has to stop her hurting anyone.

'''The Sisters:''' Who betrayed the castle to the Vikings? (Note: Demona did)\\

'''The Sisters:''' Who CREATED the Hunter? (Note: Demona did)\\

'''The Sisters:''' Who betrayed Theatre/{{Macbeth}} to Canmore.(Note: Demona di-- oh, you get the idea)\\

'''Demona:''' (''Tears forming while saying slowly'') The access code is...[[spoiler:[[CrowningMomentOfSadness alone]].]]
* Ace in ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'': very, very broken and very, very dangerous. If you are not {{Batman}}, that is, the only person she apparently trusts.

* Weathervane/Paula Haze from ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed''. She was treated like trash by Misty Breeze. No wonder the poor girl snapped.

** He loses all sympathy when [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon he tries to kill his own daughter]]]], but [[spoiler:'''Amon''' of all people become this when you learn that not only are he and [[JerkassWoobie Tarrlok]] brothers, and not only is Yakone their father, but you see how he [[AbusiveParents treated them]]. It was so bad it made Noatak hate all Benders...[[YouAreWhatYouHate including himself.]]]]

* Plankton from ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''. What's especially weird about him is that he only became this in hindsight. The movie, the canon end of the series, is where Plankton really goes into high gear, and before the movie, he wasn't exactly sympathetic. After the movie is when he becomes the DesignatedVillain, and gets more abuse than he deserves.
* ''ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' gives us [[spoiler:Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree]], settlers who came to what would become the area around New Orleans two hundred years ago, presumably to escape religious persecution. Their commune, by sheer bad luck, fell under attack by merciless pirates, who fed everyone except them to alligators ForTheEvulz ([[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids because this is a kids' movie]]). Making a [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With the Pagan Cat God]] for enough power for a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, they found that they had been cursed with immortality and the need to suck out souls to maintain it. It's quite jarring that, at the end of the film, [[spoiler:they get [[NoImmortalInertia the same punishment]] as their accomplice Jacques]].

* Jimmy from EdEddNEddy in the episode "If It Smells Like An Ed." Eddy gives him a wedgie, so in response, he frames ''all three Eds'' and gets them pelted with food by the kids and dragged by the Kankers to be raped.

* Creator/FrankWelker personally think that his character Megatron from ''{{Transformers}}'' might be one of these, mentioning several times in his interviews that he ask himself why Megatron is so angry all the time, and it might because there are "a lot of hurt" inside him.

* [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Meg Griffin.]] Especially in the episode "Dial Meg For Murder," when she returns from prison and gets revenge on everybody who bullied her by dishing two [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] to Peter and the popular kids at her school(by filling a bag with unopened soda cans and hitting them with it). Brian snaps her out of it by showing her an issue of Teen People Magazine and [[Heartwarming/FamilyGuy describing her as "Far sweeter and kinder than the average teenage girl."]]

** How about Aang? He's not evil or villainous in any way, but it is scary when he gets upset and goes into the Avatar State.

** He loses all sympathy when [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon he tries to kill his own daughter]]]], but [[spoiler:'''Amon''' of all people become this when you learn that not only are he and [[JerkassWoobie Tarrlok]] brothers, and not only is Yakone their father, but you see how he [[AbusiveParents treated them]]. It was so bad it made Noatak hate all Benders...YouAreWhatYouHate including himself.]]]]

* Plankton from ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''.
** Literature/TheUglyBarnacle, who was "so ugly that everyone died".

* The Toad from ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway''. He was once Prince Charles' favorite pet. Then someone brought in a rat and flushed the Toad down the toilet so Charlie could focus all his attention on the replacement pet. This became his motivation for attempting to wipe out the Sewer-London. Seriously, we can't blame him for what he is now.

* While Shen of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' isn't this in the actual film, information revealed in [[AllThereInTheManual the supplementary material]] shows that he was originally intended to be one.

* The Ice King of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is a Sociopath, but mostly, he's just lonely. Just try not to feel bad for him when NEPTR chooses Finn over him.

** Also Butters in season 6. After the main boys snub him, he adopts the alter-ego "Professor Chaos", and plots to ''drown the world''... with a garden hose.

** By the time of ''BatmanBeyond'', his wife's gone, and although he gets a second chance in a clone body and tries to make amends for all the people he's hurt, [[YankTheDogsChain he relapses, gets betrayed, barely survives the attack on him, and proceeds to freeze his betrayers for trying to prematurely perform autopsy on him, then aims to commit suicide by blowing up the man's company, killing hundreds of innocent people in the crossfire]]. His FamousLastWords with Terry, the new Batman, are one of the best done AlasPoorVillain moments ever.
