Y'know, he's happy to be here!

The Great Evil himself and the main antagonist of the series, given how much he was built up. Though imprisoned once by Cinemacus, he eventually got free and formed the Court in order to become the 'Savior of Evil'. He currently rules an alternate version of New York.


  • Affably Evil: When he's not sniping at people or being unpleasant in general, he's a pretty chill guy.
  • And I Must Scream: When he was trapped, he describes this as such in an Ask Post.
  • Benevolent Boss: One of his best traits is that he unconditionally loves his minions. Though he's not above taking potshots at them, he's an overall nice guy to work with if you're a villain. He's even more of this with Valeena, encouraging her to have fun.
    • To put it in perspective, what happens when Ro-Man, his second-in-command, brings him to his lair, he gets him into a happy hug.
  • Big Bad: Now that he's here.
  • Blow You Away: His entire lower body is a tornado that can expand to deal extra damage. How he gets around is something best not to look into too hard.
  • Cain and Abel: The Cain to both Sir and Z-Squared for obvious reasons.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: He's downright proud of being evil to the point of being endearing.
  • Cardboard Prison: Despite being trapped forever by Sir, he was able to function somewhat and cause general trouble.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Tries to hit on Alice Tompkins, but she flings his words back in his face.
  • Catchphrase: Often ends his sentences with an almost condescending "Y'know".
  • Category Traitor: Declares villains that redeemed themselves as worthy of his scorn.
  • Dark Is Evil: He's pitch-black and the main villain.
  • Dark Messiah: Sees himself as the 'Savior of Evil', offering his services to all villains and bringing the universe into an new era of villainy.
  • Deal with the Devil: Does this with Jay Sherman by offering to remove the memories he has of Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. This allows him entry into his city.
  • Drunk on the Dark Side: In his first appearance, he's downright maniacal when firing his black lightning on his foes, reveling in his power and giving a Shout-Out to Emperor Palpatine.
  • Eldritch Abomination: An even bigger example than his brothers. Just look at him!
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Aside from wanting to protect his minions, he still regarded Z-Squared as a brother. He's bummed that he never got to know him well before he died.
  • Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: Seems to be his goal.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: His eyes are located on his chest.
  • Foil: He and his Court serve as this to Sir Cinemacus and the Review Team. While the latter is incompetant and on the side of good, Ahnil is evil but more organized in his efforts. The Review Team is good, yet it treats this as just another day on the job and they didn't ask to be here in the first place. Ahnil's group, while evil, works for him voluntarily without the use of contracts.
    • Their living situations are also interesting to note in Season 4. The Review Team is, for the most part, stuck at Lou's house as freeloaders. Ahnil's group is ruling over Jay Sherman's city with an iron fist.
  • Good Wings, Evil Wings: Both of his massive wings look decayed and awful, with one wing looking like a zombiefied angel wing and the other more mechanical and oil-drenched.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Before his name and look was revealed, he was reffered as the Great Evil, something that Sir has been preparing the team for during the past few years.
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: This is slowly fading away as time goes on.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Towards his subjects. He may pretend that they're slaves, but there's a sense that he values them as people.
  • Keet: He's really cheerful most of the time.
  • Leitmotif: Most of his themes are remixes of Garou's theme.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Caused the Golus incident, had a hand in Lycos coming back, and perhaps a few other things...
  • Manic Pixie Dream Girl: A gender-inverted example with Valeena.
  • More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Just look at those jaws!
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Aside from his aliases, his main name, Ahnil, is short for 'Annihilation'.
  • No-Sell: In his first appearance, the Review Team fires all of their long-distance weapons on him, only for him to float out no worse for wear.
  • Pet the Dog: Upon seeing that one of his subjects has a sick puppy on the other side, he uses his powers to reunite the child and his pet.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to the original Court members before he recruits them, calling them out for their failures before offering his services.
  • Red Baron: His aliases include the Great Evil, the Savior of Evil, Tyrant of the Tarot, and Number One Foosball Champion.
  • Shock and Awe: Without having to use any Tarot powers, he can project black lightning bolts from his hands that is said to be extremely painful.
  • Tarot Motifs: His main power, no less, and how he brands his allies. He's only able to use three of them per battle, though, all the while shouting his move at the top of his lungs. His card is The World, of course, representing how he sees himself as a god.
  • Tears of Joy: Ends up sobbing in happiness when he's released, finally being able to touch reality itself.
  • Villains Out Shopping: When he's not drumming up evil schemes, he's going on joyrides and generally hanging out and encouraging others to do the same.
  • Villain Song: His main theme could count. It's even sung by his voice actor!
  • The Worf Effect: Almost does this against the whole Review Team in his first real appearance.
  • Would Hurt a Child: When he orders Bagan to kill off the intruders to the Sherman Residence, Penny Tompkins is among those he targets. Granted, he wasn't in his right mind from the looks of things.
