Old Complete Monster cleanup thread

Welcome to the Complete Monster proposal thread! This is the thread where new Complete Monster examples are vetted, approved, and written up. If you're looking for the general cleanup thread (for cuts, rewrites, expansions, and the like), please go here

Important: Before suggesting any new examples, please read the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List; if you have any questions, the odds are high they are answered there. Additionally, please check here for the earliest date a work can be discussed (usually two weeks from the U.S. release date) and whether the work has already been reserved by another user.

Here is how the process works:

    Process 

  1. If you have a candidate to propose, you can simply come right in and propose them! If the character's run is brief, such as a single issue of a comic book, then a simple summary of their actions and any potential redeeming qualities will be enough; for longer-running candidates, an effortpost (EP) might be helpful for organizing the proposal. An EP is not outright required, but please be mindful that if a post becomes too clunky and unorganized, it can be very hard for other people to follow.

  2. After the proposal, there will be a 72-hour discussion and voting period, where people may ask questions and vote on the candidate. The number of upvotes must outnumber the downvotes by at least five for the character to be considered "approved".

  3. Three days after the proposal has been made, if the character has been approved, you may post the writeup (the text to be posted on the trope page itself) on the thread and send it to the drafts page. Your candidate will soon be added to the CM subpage. If the work has a page, you should add your candidate to the relevant YMMV page. Voila! It's that simple!

Outside of this process, we do have a few ground rules:

    Ground Rules 

  1. To keep the thread moving at a reasonable pace, there are some restrictions on when a proposal can be made. There should only be a maximum of four EPs posted both per page and per hour to ensure that nothing gets lost in the shuffle; additionally, each individual troper should only be proposing or writing up characters from a maximum of three works at a time (from initial proposals to end of their voting period). If your proposal would fall outside of either of these guidelines, we'd like to ask you to please wait until they would fit within; feel free to type them up on an outside document, and then when the time comes, you can just copy, paste, and post!

  2. No plagiarism of any kind. This is a very serious matter site-wide, as the website could get in actual legal trouble over this; as a result, this can very quickly lead to mod intervention. This can take many different forms:
    1. Direct plagiarism, i.e. wholesale copying. This is not only the easiest to find, but is also the most likely to warrant quick moderator intervention. To be clear, quoting in some places is perfectly acceptable, but it has to be very clear you're quoting from something else and it cannot be anything longer than a sentence or two - if you're quoting an entire work summary from Wikipedia, no one is going to believe you've actually consumed the work, so even if you cite your source, your candidate will be downvoted anyway.
    2. Self-plagiarism. Even if you can prove that you wrote the same text in both places, the site itself can't contain any of the duplicated text. If you already wrote something once before, it's not too hard to write it a second time.
    3. Using another site's work as a template for a proposal. Just because you don't copy and paste something directly doesn't mean it's any harder to detect if you're basing parts or all of your proposal on text someone else wrote. To be clear, this doesn't violate site rules and won't lead to mod intervention, but just like if you directly plagiarize, no one will believe you've consumed the work if you're clearly basing your proposal on something else. This thread largely operates on the honor system, and tweaking someone else's work to pass it off as your own is one of the fastest ways to lose trust.

  3. Don't delete an EP unless you intend to swiftly repost it. We know that there are reasons why you might want to delete an EP, especially if it's being downvoted - rejection is hard, even in a low-stakes environment like this. However, deleting it renders the current discussion null and void, makes it impossible to reference the discussion in the future and can confuse tropers who didn't read it before the deletion. If the issue is temporary (such as formatting problems or a post getting overlooked as the thread moves on), then deleting and quickly reposting the EP is a valid option, but to fully retract an EP, please use the [[strike:]] markup instead.

  4. Votes must be for specific candidates, meaning no blanket voting (i.e. "yes to everyone I missed").

  5. If you are the first person to downvote a candidate, please provide an explanation of why when you do so. We're here for discussions above all, and a hit-and-run downvote doesn't facilitate anything.

  6. 'If a work is already reserved by another user , please don't comment on the work or any potential characters worth discussion before the discussion date. We know how exciting it is when a work has a keeper that you're waiting to talk about, but it's not fair to the person who reserved the work who is just as excited to lead the discussion to see the discussion getting spoiled before they get to do it. On the other hand, if the reservation only has one name attached, shoot them a PM - they may be down for a collaboration, which will get you in on the fun as well!

  7. Please keep the thread on-topic. While discussing the trope is fun and we encourage people to enjoy it, questions like "who's your favorite CM" are off-topic and can lead to thumps. That's the kind of question to take to people's PMs if they're willing. Similarly, while we encourage friendliness and familiarity with other users, posts should always have some kind of thread-relevant purpose; for instance, if you want to wish someone a happy birthday, feel free to, but if it's the only thing in the post, it's off-topic and needs something else alongside it. Again, though, while we strive for a friendly atmosphere, this is not Facebook; life updates are fun, but unless they have some kind of impact on your thread participation, please do not bring it here - we have Yack Fest for that.

  8. Please refrain from asking anything along the lines of "How Did We Miss This One?" In almost every case, the answer is simply "No one thought about it before". This Is a Wiki where everyone has different interests, and the fact that people missed a particular candidate, even one that seems like a textbook example of a trope or a character who is particularly iconic in pop culture, means absolutely nothing. The question is disruptive, has a simple and consistent answer, and provides nothing to any discussion.

  9. If you are suspended from parts of the website, it is still possible to participate!
    1. For users who are suspended from editing the wiki, you still have full access to this thread. You can propose candidates and write them up with no issues whatsoever; while you will have to ask someone else to post the entry to the relevant pages once it is done, all write-ups are considered thread-approved - as in, done by consensus - and thus doing so does not violate any rules regarding meatpuppeting.
    2. If you are suspended from the forums, your participation is limited but not impossible. It is still possible for a forum-suspended user to assist in creating the write-up for a character who has already been approved; as previously mentioned, write-ups are inherently considered a consensus-based edit and thus not tied to any one particular user. However, you can not assist in the proposal of a character; as a proposal is based around the forum rather than the wiki, doing so with a forum suspension qualifies as meatpuppeting.

  10. Please keep all discussions "in-house".
    1. What other wikis use for CM equivalents is irrelevant here.
    2. Please be wary of using other wikis, Fandom or otherwise, as sources of information. They are just as fallible as a site like Wikipedia in regards to accuracy because they can be edited by any user, just as this site can.
    3. Do not attempt to force a communication with an author in an attempt to gather evidence or settle a debate; besides the fact that this is a YMMV trope and thus author intent has variable weight depending on the circumstance, doing so may cross the line into drama exportation, which is prohibited site-wide.

If you would like to use an EP for your candidate, here's the general format. This format does not have to be followed exactly, but these are the main topics that need to be covered:

    Effortpost Template 

What is the work?

This is a brief summary of the work you're going to discuss. We don't need a full plot summary here, just however much we need to understand going into the discussion — it can even be as simple as quoting the summary on the work's page.

Who is the candidate and what have they done?

This is essentially the character's biography — who they are, their story, the crimes they commit, and, preferably (though not required), what happens to the candidate at the end. It does not have to include every single thing they ever do — for some villains, we'd be here all day if that was the case — but it should include the highlights of their journey.

Any redeeming qualities? Freudian Excuse?

This is where any potential redeeming characteristics or tragic backstory should be discussed. Do they have a tragic past? Do they show that Even Evil Has Standards or Even Evil Has Loved Ones? Maybe a Pet the Dog moment or two? This is where these should be discussed in full. Not every potential redeeming moment is a clear-cut disqualifier, but we should hear of any potential issues to ensure the character is discussed in full.

Are they bad enough?

A Complete Monster has to be particularly vile by the standard of the work they appear in. Therefore, you should look at what the character does compared to similar characters in the same work. This takes into account things like:

  • Their resource level (a human Serial Killer can't stand up to an alien Omnicidal Maniac, but they can be bad by the standard of other human serial killers)
  • The amount of time they have to work with (such as a one-shot character versus long-running antagonists)
  • The quantity vs. quality of their crimes compared to others (someone with a lower victim count but far more visceral and personal crimes could be considered as equally bad overall as someone with a higher body count but less horror involved)

Essentially, this section is an analysis of the kinds of villainy shown in the work and an explanation of why this particular character's villainy stands out within it.

Final verdict?

This is where you post your final conclusion on the character in question. You can continue elaborating on your reasons or even just say a simple "yes" or "no"; at this point, we've heard everything we need to hear.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: This thread tackles very serious and dark matters on a daily basis. We will be discussing things like murder, rape, torture, human trafficking, crimes against children, and in particularly dark cases, several of these issues at the same time. We keep a lighthearted air, but all candidates carry the general assumption that these are awful individuals committing disgusting crimes. We ask that if you participate, you do so with the requisite seriousness such dark topics require; exclamations of how gross something is, whether serious or sarcastic, are disrespectful to the topics at hand, and if you cannot handle such topics, please do not participate.

And that's everything you need to know. Welcome to the thread!

I would like to pitch a case for Madelaine from The Trevi Collection in Kolchak The Night Stalker. Defined by her greed and callous indifference towards others wellbeing she uses her witchcraft to climb the fashion world making deals with those who benefit her then disposes of them as soon as they question her methods. She admits that she wants nothing more than material wealth and offers Kolchak the same and when he refuses tries to have him killed.

[up] First off, welcome to the thread, always nice to see more participants smile

But you’ll have to include more information about the candidate I’d recommend you do an effort post (or EP as we say)

Something like this

What’s the work?

Tell us a bit about the work, it doesn’t have to be a whole plot summary

Who are they and what have they done?

Describe their actions, it doesn’t have to be everything they do, just their most monstrous actions.

Redeeming qualities?

State whether they have any redeeming qualities like standards, a Freudian Excuse, or people they care about. And if they seem to, do they show they subvert it somehow?

Heinousness?

Do the stand out as particularly heinous in their work

Final verdict?

State wether you think the candidate counts, a simple yes or no will do

  • The Joker serves as the Big Bad of the series. The Arch-Enemy of Batman, Joker regularly commits crimes solely to torture his nemesis throughout the series. When first establishing himself in Gotham, Joker hijacked Black Mask's organization, and used his influence to torture and murder innocents, along with bombing multiple buildings across the city. In one notable instance, Joker staged a breakout at Arkham Asylum, ensuring the slaughter of as many people as possible. Left dying of a TITAN overdose in the wake of this incident, Joker forces Batman to find a cure for his condition by poisoning more than two thousand people with his infected blood; he also executes Batman's Love Interest, Talia al Ghul, right in front of him. Caring nothing for his subordinates, The Joker regularly abuses his "girlfriend," Harley Quinn, and tortures and murders his henchmen, along with threatening their family members, for fun. Even after his death, flashbacks further show his wicked deeds, such as crippling Barbara Gordon and physically and psychologically torturing Jason Todd for months, then sending Batman videotapes of said torture; this torture resulted in Jason becoming the Arkham Knight. In the digital comic Arkham City: End Game, the Joker rigs fireworks with Joker toxin that kills hundreds. A narcissistic sadist with a pathological need for attention, the Joker is determined to make Gotham forever remember him by writing his name in the city with blood.
  • Assault on Arkham: The Joker himself plants a bomb capable of wiping out half the population of Gotham off the face of the Earth in Harley Quinn's mallet. After being broken out of his cell in Arkham, he kills two security guards and releases all the patients to slaughter the staff so he can make his escape. The Joker attempts to activate the bomb to kill millions, all for his own entertainment.
  • Conflict of Interest: Carlo Luciano is a vicious and vindictive assassin who worked for the Rivales Family. Killing numerous people for his employers, Luciano helped Francisco Mendirez butcher the Cadaverini Family, faking his death with the help of Mendirez when Michael Rivales ordered him killed. Upon Mendirez trying to kill him in a fit of paranoia, Luciano dedicated himself to making him suffer for his betrayal. Impersonating Mendirez after he becomes the head of the family, Luciano kills Cody Hackins and attempts to have Maya Fey assassinated, forcing Mendirez's allies to take the fall for these crimes in order to make them think that he betrayed them. Luciano later kills three people and frames Mendirez for the murders to get him sent to jail as the final part of his revenge to ruin his reputation. When Phoenix reveals Luciano's crimes to the court, Luciano takes Detective Watters hostage and tries to kill Phoenix.
  • Thomas & Friends Fan Video series Sodor: Dark Times: Alfred the Loaned B12 is one of the vilest engines to run on Sodor rails. Alfred once worked on Sodor as 98462 and was sent away due to bad behaviour, giving him a desire to pay The Fat Controller out by making the North Western Railway go under. To this end, Alfred kills the sickly Henry to take his place and bombs the populated Knapford Station to force The Fat Controller to resign. When Alfred's associate and brother Cecil is horrified by Alfred murdering innocent people and vows to have him stopped, Alfred kills Cecil and goes on a bombing spree across the North Western Railway and the Mainland to kill everyone who could be used to link his crimes back to him. Lacking any of the comedic qualities of the source material's antagonists while amassing a higher body count, Alfred serves as a depraved villain to emphasize the series' intended darker tone.
  • The Clown at Midnight (1998-1999): Harlan Caruthers, the owner of an opera house, killed Lorraine Sedgewick after she rejects her advances, framed her lover Lorenzo Orsini for the act, ruining his life, and kept him prisoner in the theatre. Seventeen years later when a group of high school teens comes to clean up the opera house, Caruthers, in order to cover up his crimes, dresses as a clown and sadistically starts brutally killing them one-by-one. When Lorenzo tries to stop him, Caruthers kills him as well by throwing him off a catwalk before making a pass at Kate Williams, actually Lorenzo and Lorraine's daughter, calling her mother a "fool" for having rejected him. After Kate tries to resist him he tries to stab her, showing that his supposed "love" was nothing but obsession and possessiveness.
  • Eye in the Sky: Susan Helen Danford (aka Ayesha Al-Hady), Abdullah Al-Hady, and Rasheed Hamud are three leaders of Al-Shabaab responsible for recruiting and trafficking young Muslims, brainwashing them into committing attacks throughout Kenya leading to hundreds of deaths. They would also murder a British spy trying to stop them before enacting their plan to have two brainwashed teenagers become suicide bombers, ordering them to attack highly-populated areas to kill dozens of people.
  • Midnight Runners (2017): Yang-choon is a menacing criminal who darkens the tone of the film immensely. A human trafficker who deals in high school girls, Yang-choon kidnaps dozens of girls to imprison, drug, and abuse while routinely harvesting their eggs to sell on the Black Market to fertility clinics. When the girls inevitably wear out and approach death, Yang-choon has them cut open and all of their organs harvested. When Park Ki-joon and Kang Hee-yeol discover the trafficking ring, Yang-choon viciously beats them unconscious, sets them up to be carved into for their organs, and tries to hurriedly harvest his latest batch of eggs so he can dispose of all his prisoners.
  • The Unholy Four (aka Chuck Moll) (1970): Tom Udo is the son of a crime lord attempting to take over the town of Uxaca. A treacherous sadist of the worst kind, Tom is far more ruthless and hands-on than his cowardly father Lion. After arranging a robbery of $100,000, Tom thanks the robbers for their hard work by slaughtering every single one of them. When Tom learns the hero Chuck Moll has amnesia, Tom tricks the latter into thinking that they're brothers, then sets him up to obliviously kill his own father, cackling about it to himself later. Tom is also an incestuous sadist who flips between slavering over his own sister and constantly threatening to murder her.
  • The Whistleblower (2010): Ivan and Tanjo are a pair of Bosnian Human Traffickers who are the worst Kathryn Bolkovac ever faces. Running an outfit that has enslaved dozens of women and young girls, the duo have the women regularly beaten, starved, and raped for profit. When one of their captives, Raya, tries to escape, Ivan and Tanjo rape her with a steel rod while forcing the other women to watch, scaring them into further submission. Ivan later shoots Raya in the head out of petty annoyance, and threatens any other women who disappoint him with similar fates.
  • Phantom Hourglass: Bellum is a vile being who, unlike his original game counterpart, displays full sapience. Devouring the life force of those in the Ocean King's world for many years after losing interest in just the Ocean King and sealing the three spirits, Bellum cursed the Ocean King's temple, killing anyone who enters it, and used the Ghost Ship to lure in unknowing prey, including Tetra and Linebeck's crew, with those who die within suffering after death. Soon after ordering a failed killing om life of Ciela's, memories, Bellum possesses Linebeck and gleefully forces Linebeck—who is still aware—and Link to fight to the death, knowing that either way he can freely reap their life force. After terrifying Linebeck so much from forcing him to fight Link that Linebeck attempts to take his own life, and Linebeck being released from his possession, Bellum makes one final attempt on the Ocean King's life.
  • Joseph Strorm is protagonist David's father and the worst of Waknuk's intolerant society. Out of fanaticism and bigotry towards those deemed "mutants" for abnormalities, Joseph brutally whips David for so much as making a joke about a third hand being useful to compete a complicated task. When a young David's childhood friend Sophie Wender is exposed for having a sixth toe, Joseph whips David until he denounces Sophie before exiling her to the dangerous Fringes. With decades of purges behind him, when Joseph discovers both David and his younger sister Petra are telepaths, he rallies a posse to hunt down and kill them, even going to war with the mutants of the Fringes when his children are taken captive by the denizen—not because he cares about them, but because he feels they belong to him.
  • Quest of the Gods series, by Dan Hunter:
    • Set, the Lord of Storms, is a wicked and brutal god who is motivated by his intense jealousy of his brother Horus. Having long ago murdered his father Osiris, Set imprisons the gods that protect Egypt and has Horus held captive in the dungeons beneath his temple, slowly draining his life force. This results in Egypt facing various crises, including a great drought that threatens to dry up the Nile, the dead being Barred from the Afterlife to haunt the living, and conflict breaking out at random. After hero Akori thwarts his plans, Set imprisons Osiris and takes over the Underworld, releasing the serpent Apep to swallow the sun and bring about eternal darkness. Intending to build an army of the dead to turn Egypt into a mass grave to spite his brother and the other good gods, Set, unwilling to risk Akori freeing Osiris, finally tries to kill Osiris permanently.
    • Oba is a spoiled, sadistic teenage Pharaoh. Beginning the series by poisoning his own father with cobra venom in order to claim the throne, Oba allies himself with Set to make himself feared. Learning of a prophecy saying that Akori will overthrow him, Oba orders him killed, his soldiers burning down the farm where Akori works and murdering his uncle. Ruling Egypt as a cruel tyrant, Oba does everything in his power to prevent Akori from freeing the captive gods despite knowing full well how Egypt is suffering in their absence. Defeated by Akori, Oba gleefully helps Set end all life in Egypt for a chance to exact revenge on him. Using one of the mystical Pharaoh Stones to bring the monster Ammit under his control, Oba tries to have her devour Akori's soul when the latter journeys to the Underworld.
  • Rebel of the Sands trilogy: Sultan Oman Al-Hasim bin Izman is the despotic ruler of Miraji who will do anything yp maintain control over the country. As a young man, the Sultan made a deal with the Gallan Empire to stage a violent coup, killing his father and many of his brothers to assume the throne. Once in power, the Sultan allowed the Gallan to execute any non-human citizens they found and supplied them with weapons for their wars. The Sultan also began to keep a Royal Harem, buying women from slavers to fill it. Years later, the Sultan finds the powerful Demdji Noorsham, and planning on betraying the Gallans, takes control of Demdji and has him incinerate the entire city of Dassama to kill the Gallan presence and tries to do the same to the city Fahali. Capturing heroine Amani, the Sultan manipulates her into leaking information he wants to the rebellion to allow him to brutally crack down on them while they're distracted. The Sultan then forces Amani to summon dozens of Djinn and kills one to use his soul to power the mighty Abdal constructs, using them to slaughter all of the visiting foreign rulers. After this, the Sultan kills his son Kadir for being an unworthy heir and captures most of the rebellion. The Sultan orders Ahmed to be executed and sends the rest to be worked to death. Despite the Sultan's claims that he only wanted what's best for his country, he was only interested in keeping control over Miraji.
  • Rush Hour's "Knock, Knock ... House Creeping!": Thomas "Tommy" Shea is a failed actor and secretly a violent psychopath who became a brutal Serial Killer. Kidnapping, torturing, and killing at least 7 young women—some only teenagers—at an exclusive hotel in Los Angeles, police attempted to arrest him, at which point Shea opened heavy fire on them and wounded an officer before sadistically killing Captain Cole's lover. Next, to avoid arrest, Shea set his hotel room on fire to fake his death, gloating about how no one's gonna miss his victims, let alone find them. After 12 years, Shea resurfaces after kidnapping another young woman named Destiny Lamb. However, it's revealed he already killed several other young women in the last five years, burning their remains until only bone was left. When he is found to still be alive, Shea attempts to kill Cole, Lee, Carter, and Destiny when they find her, beating Lee to the ground and attempting to shoot Cole before the latter shoots him.
  • Prince's Batman's "Partyman": The titular "Partyman" is the mysterious "guest of honor" who hosts a party where hundreds attend. Pretending to be a comedic, fun-loving host, it is then revealed he has been poisoning the drinks, and watches with sadistic glee as his victims slowly die from the poison.
  • Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger: Zamigo Delma, introduced by freezing and seemingly killing multiple innocents, became the Lupinrangers' most hated enemy due to their loved ones being among his victims. Serving the Interdimensional Crime Group Gangler as an informant on the human world, Zamigo fed information to various Ganglers to aid them in their criminal activities. Though his freezing ability didn't actually kill the people he abducted, he murdered several of them and turned them into human disguises to provide to other Ganglers, uncaring if they're used to hurt billions of lives. Throughout the series, Zamigo has supplied lucky charms that turn multiple victims into plants; sent a spy disguised as the Patrangers' old friend to frame and kill Noel Takao; held the Lupinrangers' loved ones hostage to force Kairi to duel him; and had his boss Dogranio Yaboon trap him and the Lupinrangers in his safe so his battle with them can continue uninterrupted. An utter Sadist who's motivated purely by his own entertainment, Zamigo is willing to backstab his own allies and even threaten his boss just to keep toying with Lupin Red, with both teams holding him responsible for the suffering of many people as a result of his role in the crimes committed by the Ganglers.
  • Sicario original script (link): Fausto Alarcon here lacks the genuine care for his family that the film version has. One of the top chiefs of the Sinaloa Cartel, Alarcon is likened to a virus plaguing all of Mexico; it's noted that any murders carried out by the Cartel are perpetrated "with his hand or with his blessing". Alarcon's murderous reign is so brutal that entire houses are filled to bursting with the bodies of his dozens of victims, and he personally had the wife and child daughter of Alejandro brutally tortured, raped, and murdered. When Alejandro comes seeking revenge, Alarcon tries to sacrifice his own wife to save his own skin, emotionlessly remarking "I love me more."
  • Hybrid Heaven: Mi'Goea is a parasitic alien driven solely by the desire to consume life. Taking over the body of the Gargatuan who'd come to be known as "the Traitor", Mi'Goea subjugated the pacifistic Gargatuans and used their resources to kick-start an invasion of Earth that would leave humanity dead or enslaved. Creating a race of clones known as the Hybrids and implanting in them the feelings of superiority over humans, Mi'Goea had multiple advisors close to President Patrick Weller captured and replaced by Hybrid analogues before capturing President Weller himself and intending to do the same to him, with the intention of using the President's clone to invade the rest of Earth in a brutal conquest with the military's support. After Secret Service Agent Johnny Slater causes the collapse of the Hybrids' subterranean shelter, Mi'Goea orders the starship's boosters to be fired in an attempt to break through Earth's crust and destroy Manhattan, dooming any Hybrids still in the shelter, along with the newly birthed clones. Confronted by Johnny, Mi'Goea coldly says that doesn't care that his Hybrids are all dead, for he'll simply create more. Released from the Traitor's body after Johnny kills the Traitor, Mi'Goea exposes his true form and states his goal is to harvest all life on Earth, intending to continue the invasion to the bitter end.
  • Rotten:
    • Baekho is the deranged mastermind behind the disappearances in South Korea. Having developed a power to look into the souls of people, Baekho became obsessed with watching the souls at the end of their lives, beginning at a young age when he let Officer Han's grandmother die. Kidnapping young men and women throughout the decade, Baekho tortured and killed them on camera for his collection, even strong arming Officer Ko to use runaway children as his victims, and manipulating the mentally ill Butcher into helping him kill people. When Jaeshin, Yuhyeon, and Officer Han investigate their disappearances, Baekho orchestrates the events to get rid of them, having his allies and innocent officers killed by the Butcher while framing Officer Han for relations to the disappearances. Kidnapping Jaeshin and Yuhyeon, and forcing the Butcher to relive his trauma as a punishment for going against his orders, Baekho shows extreme sadistic joy out of torturing them, having already tortured Jaeshin's friend Junhwan into a coma and breaking Yuhyeon's spirit by showing her the death of her sister on camera. After he has Officer Han mortally wounded, Baekho taunts him about his grandmother's death before trying to kill Jaeshin and Yuhyeon, and when he is subdued and cornered, simply kills himself to avoid prison.
    • Cheolyeong Kim is the abusive father of Yuhyeon and Jihyeon Kim. A megalomaniac who refuses to think of himself as a bad father, Cheolyeong murdered his wife and mentally abused his daughters to gaslight them into thinking she was the abusive one, murdering their beloved dog in front of them and threatening to murder an old woman. Leaving his children to starve for days and almost killing their uncle, Cheolyeong breaks out of a mental hospital in the present day and kills someone to strike a deal with a gang leader for whereabouts on Yuhyeon. After brutally beating up his brother-in-law, Cheolyeong promptly betrays and kills the leader and his friend before confronting Yuhyeon, where brutally beats her and almost kills Jaeshin and an innocent puppy in front of her to simply teach a lesson. A monstrous egomaniac, Cheolyeong's abuse completely damaged Yuhyeon and Jihyeon in the present day and traumatized them.
    • Mr. Hwang is a crime lord in South Korea who wished to take control of Seoul. Adopting a teenage Butcher into his organization, Mr. Hwang groomed him into being a serial killer, encouraging him to kill his competition so he can take control of the city. When seeing the Butcher's self-mutilation and learning about his curse to relive all of his murders, Mr. Hwang simply encourages him to kill more people, leading to the Butcher becoming the infamous serial killer he is in the present.
  • Dragon Flyz: Dreadwing is a cruel, mutant warlord determined to conquer Earth and sky by any means necesary. In his war against the Dragon Flyz and the city of Airlandis, Dreadwing constantly schemes to either conquer or destroy the latter and its humans. Dreadwing tries to have the eggs of Dragons allied with Airlandis stolen and mutated into his soldiers before tricking a rival warlord into allying with him to attack Airlandis, only to betray him and his soldiers. Dreadwing has Z'neth captured and brainwashed into believing he is Dreadwing's son, sending him to attack Airlandis. His other plots include unleashing a sleeping sickness on Dragons to leave Airlandis defenseless; taking the Airlandiean settlement hostage and threatening to kill everyone if city doesn't surrender to him; threatening to use nuclear missiles to destroy Airlandis; and tricking a giant Dragon into attacking it. Never one to miss an opportunity for cruelty, Dreadwing constantly threatens his minions with death; and has Dramen Dragonator Dram forced to fight to the death in a cage to free the village of innocent Dramen, planning to drop them all into lava if Dram wins. When a group of kids try to help the Dragon Flyz when Dreadwing creates a toxin to turn them into monsters, Dreadwing uses them as bait and human shields against the heroes. In the penultimate episode, Dreadwing captures Z'neth and Councilman Joshua, putting them in the Kangaroo Court, leaving the latter without water for days to force him to testify in Dreadwing's favor.
  • Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series: Lord Dragaunus, Arch-Enemy of the Ducks, is a reptilian foe with only one desire in life—putting every civilization he sees under his iron rule. Invading Puckworld, Dragaunus has his drones ravage cities and has its inhabitants enslaved. Making his way to Earth after losing his base on Puckworld, Dragaunus repeatedly orchestrates schemes which would allow him to conquer the planet—with him wanting the destruction of entire cities to cow humanity into submission. Dragaunus is also the benefactor of some villains, providing more trouble for the Ducks—with one instance almost ending with the Ducks suffering a conscious dissection. Dragaunus is also an abusive master to his allies—with him subjecting one to eternal imprisonment in dimensional limbo. In the series finale, Dragaunus attempts to open a dimensional rift to free his species from their interdimensional prison to grant him the opportunity to subject the entire universe to his despotic delusions.

Is everyone fine if I drop my writeups off early? Just gonna be busy.

I don't think it'll be an issue but obviously if anyone suddenly gets downvoted we'll just remove them.

Cheers! Also decided to rewrite Anime!Sato so it's covering what he does differently (as an aside I think the gas missiles sadly make that version too brutal for MB, cool as he still is)...

  • Ajin:
    • Manga:
      • "Sato", real name Samuel T. Owen, is a bold, brilliant and charismatic, yet utterly amoral Ajin. A skilled soldier, Sato awakened as an Ajin after being caught and killed by a criminal syndicate following his own murder of hundreds in the underworld. Seeking the ultimate challenge, Sato frees other Ajin to challenge the whole Japanese government, forming a resistance movement while incapacitating any Ajin uninterested in his cause. Threatening to decapitate protagonist Kei Nagai when the latter refuses to join him and make Kei watch as a new head regrows to take his body, Sato begins planning to throw the whole country into turmoil under the guise of revolution. Personally killing hundreds in a plane crash to destroy a pharmaceutical company testing on Ajin, Sato proceeds to murder a list of targets before aiming to take control of Japan altogether. Tricking his way into a military base, Sato swiftly takes control of it, using the jets for suicide-attacks he revives from repeatedly to murder Japanese officials, seeking to murder his way to escape Japan and make his way to a new country to seek more entertainment.
      • Minister Yuuwa Tokui uses his position in the Ajin Control Commission to line his pockets. Cutting a deal with a pharmaceutical company, the Minister allows Ajin to be tortured through experimentation, with one suffering for years to develop new drugs. Capturing more Ajin to continue the cruel experiments, the Minister only relents to cut a deal with Sato after his own life is threatened and when double-crossed, furiously tries to torture and incase Sato's unarmed former subordinate in cement.
    • Anime: "Sato", real name Samuel T. O'Brian, is an even more vicious version of the cunning Ajin terrorist. Once a soldier discharged for his trigger-happy brutality, Sato discovers his immortality and chooses to entertain himself by forming an Ajin extremist group claiming to fight for Ajin rights. Toppling a building to destroy a pharmaceutical company as part of his plan, Sato kills countless before stealing canisters of nerve gas and captures a military base from which he threatens to fire them with missiles and destroy Japan lest the government yield to his demands. Rejecting the offered peaceful compromise as "boring", Sato fires one of his missiles upon the Prime Minister's office, the blast killing many in such a brutal attack many of his own subordinates defect out of horror.
  • Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story's "God of Forgiveness, God of Vengeance": John Wayne Gacy is a sadistic Serial Killer. Enjoying feeling like a god to his victims, Gacy brutally beats, rapes and drowns one young man, doing the same to dozens more.

  • Bullet Books, by Manning Wolfe:
    • Iron 13, by Wolfe and Billy Kring: Fierro is the leader of MS-13, a drug cartel that resorts to extreme violence and rape threats to get what they want. Having a love for murder since he was a young boy, with his first kill being a homeless man when he was eight, Fierro would later join several cartels before starting his own. Moving his operation to America, Fierro is hired by the terrorist Grozny to assist him in assassinating the American and Russian presidents at a parade, with Fierro looking forward to living his life in luxury while the world descends into chaos. Blackmailing Senator Barry Sands into giving Grozny a travel visa by murdering a woman and framing him for it, Fierro later kidnaps Barry’s wife Shannon, promising to have her raped if the cops are called on them.
    • Two Bodies One Grave, by Wolfe and Scott Montgomery: Whisper is a mute, sword-wielding Italian assassin hired by the Patti family to kill Knucks. Having killed over 60 people back in Italy, Whisper introduces himself by murdering Knucks’s girlfriend Beverly, even slaughtering several cops who intrude upon the scene and pinning the murders on Knucks. Finding joy in his murders, Whisper later slits the throat of Knucks’s precious daughter Cali.

Those'll go next week. About to have lunch/dinner with the family.

Though before I do (I don't know how I forgot this; it's in the Sandbox regardless):

  • "Black" Agnes Douglas is Sawney Bean's equally heinous wife and partner-in-crime. Even before she met Sawney, she was allegedly a vicious witch who practiced dark magic and even corrupted Sawney into villainy in later versions of the story. After marrying Sawney, Agnes would live with him in a cave, having children with him and encouraging incest with their children to produce more offspring. Agnes would assist Sawney in robbing, killing, and cannibalizing thousands of people and decorating their cave with the possessions and body parts of their victims.

  • Ghost Rider (2022): Stefan Skarr is the leader of the Cult of Mephisto and one of the most evil men ever fought by Ghost Rider. Skarr started off as a hooligan teenage warlock who terrorised his community and murdered his girlfriend Talia Warroad's parents to further indoctrinate her fully to him. Sealed away by Dr. Strange, Skarr resurfaces years later and founds the Rocky Mountain School for Troubled Youth to which he kidnaps troubled children and teens and indoctrinates them as loyal soldiers for Mephisto. Skarr corrupts the kids to mutilate, torture and murder and in one noticeable incident turns the child population of the town of Burrow against their parents and convinced them to mass murder them as human sacrifices to Mephisto. Skarr is responsible for a reign of terror which stretches over the entire country as his brainwashed pawns cause chaos. After Johnny Blaze and Talia Warroad enter his academy, Skarr is revealed to have a massive pile of the bones of human sacrifices and mocks and lethally harms Talia.

Goes in the Johnny blaze section on the ghost rider page. This is volume 10 if your wondering

Alright, got an issue to rectify

What’s the work?

Natural Selection is a Kill la Kill fanfic by fanfic author LordGinger centering around what would happen if Ragyo Kiryuin didn’t throw her infant daughter away like garbage and raised her along with her other daughter

The result, Ryoku becomes a tyrant and Satsuki becomes a Rebel Leader

The fix has been dead for a year now and the author seems to be working on other things now, and given how it last ended, I think No Ending is what they’re going for

Who is she and what has she done?

Ragyo Kiryuin is, as always, the CEO of REVOCs and the monstrously abusive mother of Ryoku, Satsuki, and Nui who seeks to assimilate the earth with life fibers and rule over it as a god

As in canon, Ragyo gave birth to her daughters for the sole purpose of experimenting on them to infuse them with life fibers, failing with Satsuki, but succeeding with Ryoku and Nui. Ragyo then manipulated them into worshipping the primordial life fiber.

She would treat Satsuki as The Un-Favorite simply because she didn’t have the life fibers inside her. Ragyo would send her daughters on missions with Satsuki being the most successful of the three, but Ragyo would hit her anyway just because she was human.

Ragyo would also molest her daughters as well as having Nui and Ryuko rape Satsuki along with her.

Satsuki eventually would fake her own death, Ragyo would send Nui after her and Soichiro in order to kill them and would whipe Ryoku’s memory of Satsuki

Ragyo would succeed in molding Nui into a sadistic assassin while Ryuko would become the same tyrant of Honnouji Academy that Satsuki was in canon, but less well-intentioned and more Ax-Crazy, Ryoku would kill several in service of Ragyo

Redeeming qualities?

Ragyo

Heinousness?

Wants to assimilate the earth and rapes her children, while Ryoku and Nui do some nasty things like mass murder, the do nothing close to what Ragyo does, and the narrative places most of the blame for their crimes on Ragyo

Final verdict?

Keep

What’s the work?

Kolchak: The Night Stalker is about Intrepid Reporter Kolchak who stops monsters hurting wherever he encounters. The episode is The Trevi Collection where a witch is killing people in the fashion word

Who is she and what has she done?

Madelaine from The Trevi Collection is a greedy materialistic witch who plots to climb up in the fashion world to gain material wealth specifically a rich husband in an opulent lifestyle with her own independent wealth

Redeeming qualities?

None, shes materialistic, betrays her allies when they question her methods and frames one for her crimes, is cowardly as she begs for mercy any time Kolchak gets the upper hand.

Heinousness?

I'd say she stands out as most of the monsters are pragmatic in their killings she goes out of her way to torture them (strangle her former ally for hours using a voodoo doll, locking a shower and turning the shower up to dangerous heat) and even publicly executes one by cursing a cat to maul her competition in front of other models.

Final verdict?

Yes
