Brock, who could easily be seen as an enabling Dragon to Rusty in his more Villain Protagonist actions, has slaughtered countless Mooks over his career in the O.S.I. and as the Venture family bodyguard. In season two's "Viva Los Muertos", he has a What Measure Is a Mook? breakdown after Rusty brings one of the henchmen he killed back to life Frankenstein-style and expects Brock to provide plenty more. A Mushroom Samba induced Vision Quest convinces Brock that killing those in the line of duty is fine ("you can't teach a hammer to love nails"), but mindless slaughter is too far. It's Character Development that he carries forward and, in season three's "The Family that Slays Together Stays Together Part II", it leads to him quitting because of all the mind-blowing weirdness and bloody carnage he's had to witness. (He again returns after some Character Development.)
The Monarch Crew
Downplayed by the Monarch toward Hank and Dean. Although he's willing to kill his own henchmen at the drop of a hat, he is rather shocked to learn how neglectful Venture is of his sons, and actually treats them better than their father when he captures them, on the occasions he's not trying to kill them along with their father...
During Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's first meeting as one of the Council of Thirteen, she calls out the Sovereign's plan to destroy Gargantua-2 and all the innocent civilians onboard to be extreme and insane. Overlaps with Pragmatic Villainy because such an action would anger the O.S.I., whom the Guild has an uneasy truce with. She's also fairly sympathetic towards Rusty and the boys in the earlier seasons, at one point expressing guilt that she pretended to date Rusty to inject him with a mutagenic serum.
Everyone has this reaction to Tim-Tom and Kevin, a duo of Depraved Dwarf henchmen. The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. the Monarch, despite being Card-Carrying Villains, are moved to disgust by the sadistic, psychopathic, lustful, and foul-mouthed manners of these two. They are more of a liability than an asset, and no tears are shed when The Monarch's henchmen gather up and off the both of them.
The Guild of Calamitous Intent
The Guild is separated from other supervillain organizations by its strict code of ethics. Forbidden actions include committing sexual crimes, attacking on holy ground, attacking police officers, and violating truces. These "standards" are not altruistic, however, as having them helps to avoid an Escalating War with the O.S.I. and helps to keep their own members alive (from both "protagonists" and each other).
Another practice the Guild frowns upon is "unsactioned arching", which led to the third-season-opening crucible of the Monarch by the Guild's Omniscient Council of Vagueness, since he'd been arching Rusty for years prior to actually joining the Guild and getting his arching license; as a part of his Guild-approved duoship with Dr. Girlfriend, he promises to give up arching Rusty, legally or otherwise. A promise which lasts until about the end of the season, but not for Status Quo Is God reasons. Monarch actually pulls off a successful Batman Gambit, using the Guild's own rules against it, in order to regain the rights to arch Rusty.
