Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

Complete Monster Cleanup Thread

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

[up][up] This one? I just cut it.

  • Complete Monster: Mario, hands down. He's by far the cruelest and most violent character on the show, and the only time he shows even the tiniest bit of remorse for his actions is when Ángeles miscarries their baby. And he only cares because it was his potential child/property that was lost. He has no concern for his wife's well-being at all.

Yeah, but what does he DO? I mean, if someone thinks he counts, feel free to effortpost.

@ACW: Could be his reason for not killing Parzival. It’s hard to tell. Still the cops only showed up a few minutes later. So he had more than enough time to finish of Parzival before their arrival.

As for Marion, a short glance at the character page revealed that he’s a bully, thief and domestic abuser. But there’s also this entry:

If he feels regret for his actions, then he is maybe a Hate Sink but not a CM.

Having I thought about it. I'm going to go with a[tdown] for Sorennto. I do think the fact he just doesn't try to kill him in the end even when he had the opportunity to try is a bit too much of a mitigating factor in the end. So a solid 99 percent monster.

  • Dolls Fall: Headmistress Chloe Zola-Kanno fell in love with killing the helpless when she witnessed her own orphanage headmistress go mad and kill her friend and began killing orphans with her. Seeking to resurrect an evil witch by torturing and killing virgins, Chloe spends a century bringing girls with special powers to her orphanage by killing their families and bathing in their blood to stay eternally young. Renting the girls to the townsfolk to use for sex rituals, when a pair of reporters upload Chloe's crimes to the internet, she goes ballistic, ordering all the orphans killed, before having her staff commit suicide to appease the witch's bloodlust.
  • First Lieutenant Zorin Blitz is a bloodthirsty member of Millennium's Last Battalion. Ignoring her orders to gather intel on the Hellsing manor, Zorin launches an assault, psychically tormenting Seras and the Wild Geese before sending in her troops to tear the horrified defenders apart. While confronting Seras, Zorin uses her illusionary powers to make Seras relive the night her parents were murdered and her mother's corpse raped in front of her, while maiming Seras's defenseless physical body. When Pip tries to save Seras, Zorin uses her scythe to fatally wound him while his back is turned.
  • Samurai Champloo: The bloodthirsty pirate Mukuro raided a ship for gold, while ordering all of the sailors aboard murdered. Corrupting Mugen into becoming hired muscle, Mukuro later abandons Mugen on a cargo ship after he himself makes off with the goods. Slaughtering an entire village with his gang, Mukuro keeps the young men alive to use in the raid of a gold-bearing government vessel. During the raid, Mukuro uses his followers as Cannon Fodder for his trap, before trying to use explosives to kill friend and foe alike, just so he can keep all the gold. Even his own family is not safe from Mukuro, who killed his mother and constantly abuses his sister.
  • Shuten Doji OVA: Majari Yonen, leader of the Jashinkyo cult, is an Oni who wants to summon the seemingly powerful Jarai and his forces of darkness to Earth. Sending many Oni to find and kill the child who'll grow up to be Shuten Doji, he doesn't care who gets in their way, nor if they're killed. After Kitani dies, Yonen plans a battle between his followers and Jiro Shutendo, kidnapping his parents and girlfriend Miyuki to persuade him to show up, with the battle itself claiming the lives of many, including Jiro's friends. Once Jiro survives the battle, Yonen congratulates him by dropping his dad from high above, threatening to kill Kyoko and Miyuki if Jiro doesn't offer himself to Jarai. With the arrival of Senki ruining his plans, Yonen threatens to kill Miyuki before attempting to kill Kyoko with his final breath.
  • Preacher: As Jesse Custer learns religion is not the answer he's looking for, these three show how dark its purposes can be manipulated for:
    • God himself is a callous narcissist, responsible for the state of the world: having created Earth to see if mankind would love him, despite knowing the suffering they would go through. This horrified the angels, a full half of whom broke out in rebellion against God, causing him to start a bloody war and cast the surviving rebels out of Heaven. Engineering the death of a man's family to lead to him becoming the Saint of Killers, God used him to replace the disillusioned Angel of Death. Enchanting a demon and angel to mate, God persecuted the angel father while secretly hoping for the birth of Genesis, just to see if a being more powerful than himself would choose to love him. Threatening Jesse to abandon his search for him, God tries to manipulate him into loving him and tries to damn Jesse for not worshipping him.
    • Jesse's zealous grandmother, Marie L'Angelle, views herself an agent of God. Seeing her daughter Christina as nothing but a way to breed a strong male preacher, when Christina runs away and gives birth to Jesse, Marie forces the family to stay on her estate, under her abusive control. Having Christina's husband murdered and eventually trying the same with Christina herself, Marie locks Jesse in an airtight coffin under a lake for weeks at a time, hoping to break him and make him accept God. Capturing Jesse years later, Marie has her servants kill Jesse's girlfriend Tulip and once again tries to break him into worshipping her and her religion.
    • Marie's enforcer, Jody, is a sadistic bully of a man. Murdering Jesse's father in front of him, Jody sneers when the young boy bursts into tears. Nailing Jesse's dog's head to a post for humping his leg, Jody savagely beats Jesse for attacking him, making him beg while twisting his arm so much the bone snaps out. When he recaptures Jesse and Tulip for Marie, Jody happily shoots and kills Tulip. In a rematch with Jesse, Jody tries to make Jesse suffer as much as possible, and when fatally wounded by Jesse, feels nothing but pride at his abuses turning Jesse into a killer.
  • Batman's Arch-Enemy, The Joker, qualifies for this trope as the Big Bad of these two live-action films:
    • Batman: The Joker, real name Jack Napier, is an insane, sadistic criminal. Murdering the young Bruce Wayne's parents, Jack is only stopped from killing the boy himself when his partner warns him the cops are approaching. After being transformed into the Joker, Jack goes on to kill the mob boss who betrayed him, before killing the other Mafia higher ups to take over the Gotham syndicate. Using Smylex mixed in with everyday products, Jack causes a string of deaths of unsuspecting innocents. Jack also abuses his girlfriend, Alicia Hunt, disfiguring and eventually killing her, before trying to seduce Vicki Vale immediately after her death. Taking advantage of Gotham's 200th anniversary parade, Jack tries to gas the gathered civilians with Smylex to amuse himself and takes out his frustration over Batman stopping his plans by killing his loyal second-in-command.
    • The Dark Knight: The Joker, a self-described "agent of chaos", is introduced by killing each of his goons and an innocent bus driver after a bank robbery. The Joker proceeds to exploit the Mob's desire to be rid of Batman, casually murdering henchmen, politicians and police to force Batman to unmask himself. He also makes the accountant attempting to unmask Batman a target; ties a crime boss to a pile of money which he then burns; kills a gangster by making a pencil disappear...eraser-end first; blows up a hospital; attempts a Prisoner's Dilemma scenario to get a boatload of civilians and prisoners to blow each other up; and, primarily by manipulating a Sadistic Choice leading to Rachel Dawes's death, and then by mind raping an injured Harvey Dent in the hospital, is the driving force behind his transformation into Two-Face. The Joker's main motivation is fun, but he also wants to show that anyone and everyone can and will become a monster if pushed far enough (or even if just given the chance). He's proven wrong, but doesn't care, just giving an annoyed shrug and attempting to blow the two boats sky high with his own detonator. All the while, the Joker states how he's just out to give Gotham a "better class of criminal". Alfred put it best when he said "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
  • Color Me Blood Red: Adam Sorg is a ruthless sociopath hell-bent on becoming a world-famous painter. Growing a fondness for the color of human blood, Sorg decides to become a Serial Killer to collect the blood he needs to "bring his art to the next level"; he starts by murdering his girlfriend and painting his masterpiece with her blood. After brutally killing a teenage couple, Sorg lures a girl to his house, planning to murder her, as well as her friends to eliminate any witnesses. When confronted, Sorg coldly attempts to justify his actions by stating that a person is nothing more than an empty shell; when he paints with a person's blood, that person becomes "immortalized". An ambitious narcissist who chooses to abandon his humanity in his quest for fame, Adam Sorg sees nothing wrong with killing others so long as it allows him to stroke his own ego.
  • Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2018): Max, obsessed with medical student Zoe, tries to rape her for rejecting him. After being bitten by a Rotter, Max's abnormally high level of antibodies protect him from becoming one himself. Years later, Max attacks Zoe and follows her back to her bunker, killing anyone else he comes across. Using a young girl as a hostage to force Zoe to drop her weapon, Max again tries to rape her and opens the bunker's doors, allowing a swarm of Rotters in to slaughter the survivors.
  • Escape Plan: Warden Willard Hobbes operates "The Tomb", an illegal, privately run prison he boasts to be inescapable. Although his contracts require that prisoners be kept alive, Hobbes tortures inmates to near-death, locking the disobedient ones in a room with a powerful halogen light to painfully dehydrate their bodies. Unrelentingly cruel, when one inmate insults Hobbes he shoves a hose into the prisoner's mouth, stopping the water only just before he drowns, and lets his sadistic Dragon torture Ray Breslin around the clock. When the inmates begin to riot and Ray and his allies try to escape, Hobbes has his men use live ammunition on both the rioters and escapees.
  • Heat: Waingro is a Psycho for Hire initially brought in as a newcomer to Neil McCauley's team to assist in an armored truck robbery. During the job, Waingro murders one of the guards for looking at him funny, necessitating the deaths of the other two guards to eliminate witnesses. His cohorts, disgusted by his actions, try to kill him, only for Waingro to escape and begin working for their enemy, Roger Van Zant. Waingro and Van Zant tip off the police in the middle of the crew's newest job, resulting in a massive shootout in the streets of LA. Waingro got this information by holding Trejo's wife hostage, only to viciously murder her afterwards, then mortally wound Trejo and leave him for dead. Waingro is also a Serial Killer who solicits underage prostitutes then bashes their skulls in.
  • JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter 1: Anjuro "Angelo" Katagiri shares his manga counterpart's depravity and lust for murder. A vicious murderer—his own father being his first victim—who is introduced stabbing his latest victim to death in front of the man's lover, Angelo later slaughters his way out of police custody by utilizing his newly-acquired Stand. Using his Stand to continue his killing spree, tearing apart the insides of over half-a-dozen people to kick things off, Angelo develops a seething hatred for the young teenager Josuke Higashikata after the boy saves Angelo's latest victim from a brutal death. Angelo invades the home of Josuke, sadistically murdering the boy's grandfather and attempting the same on his mother, all as payback for thwarting him, and, even when cornered and defeated, Angelo spends his final moments trying to blame all of his crimes on outside forces just to escape punishment.
  • A Kiss Before Dying (1991): Jonathan Corliss is a seemingly charismatic psychopath who tries to take over the Carlsson Corporation. Murdering his girlfriend for getting pregnant, Jonathan forges a suicide note to cover his tracks. After he arrived at New York, He then kills a hitchhiker to assume his own identity. Seducing the sister of the girlfriend he murdered, Dorothy, Jonathan kills her ex-boyfriend for recognizing him, also staging the murder to look like a suicide. When Dorothy's best friend also discovers who Jonathan is, he murders and dismembers her. When her sister was getting closer to the truth, Jonathan tries to murder her and then callously explains that he will simply have to comfort her father as he loses another child.
  • Mutant Girls Squad: Kisaragi is the mutant leader of a HILKO resistance group who only cares for himself. He takes in HILKO girls shunned by society, training them to become soldiers. Sacrificing innocent humans for Izanami in return for power, he later leads an attack on an anti-HILKO meeting, forcing Rin to kill three innocent humans afterwards, disappointed when she refuses. The next morning, he sends all of his girls out to act as suicide bombers, killing thousands of humans in the process. During the attacks, Kisaragi kidnaps the anti-HILKO Prime Minister, using his blood to make Izanami grant him a mutant power suit. When the police lead a raid on the HILKO hideout, Kisaragi, using his new suit, gleefully kills them all, declaring himself the new leader of Japan. After Rin and Rei figure out his motives, Kisaragi tries to kill them, seeing them as having served their purpose.
  • Quarantine duology: Henry is a self-absorbed Misanthrope Supreme who orchestrated both outbreaks. A member of a bioterrorist cell, Henry and his group engineered The Virus and released it in an apartment complex in Los Angeles to test its properties, causing the events of the first film. In the sequel, Henry, posing as a school teacher, infected the passengers of a plane, hoping it would spread the infection to other parts of the country. When his cover is blown, Henry kills a man and kidnaps a young boy to use as a Human Shield. An arrogant man whose friendly attitude masks a chilling sociopath, Henry's goal was to propagate the virus in a global scale, believing in his own truth that the "Earth needs a good plague", something in which he may very well have succeeded.
  • RoboGeisha: Hikaru Kageno and his father Kenzan, the heir and head, respectively, of Kageno Steel Manufacturing, seek to destroy Japan and remake it In Their Own Image. To this end, they kidnap young women and brutally train them to become geisha assassins, converting them into cyborgs and Tengu servants, while forcing those who leave to commit hara-kiri. They send the geishas out to murder whomever gets in their way. When Yoshie plans to take the Kagenos down, Hikaru leads her into a trap that blows her up, forcing her sister Kikue to watch. Hikaru later rewires Kikue into obeying him, removing her memories of Yoshie. The Kagenos later summon an interest group searching for the women to their building, where they proceed to murder all but three members. Desiring to drop a special bomb onto Mt. Fuji to eradicate everyone in Japan, Kenzan has his building transform into a giant robot, murdering everyone in its way. With Kenzan soon perishing, Hikaru decides to carry out the plan, hoping to kill himself along with everyone in Japan, having Yoshie fight her brainwashed sister as a distraction.
  • Snowpiercer: The Snowpiercer's creator, Wilford, is a selfish megalomaniac who wishes to control the remnants of mankind. Combating global warming with a risky procedure that ends up freezing the world over, Wilford takes advantage of the catastrophe to seemingly save mankind with the titular ever-running train. Creating a caste system, Wilford tries to starve the impoverished people at the tail end of the train, resulting in them having to resort to cannibalism to survive. Under his iron-fisted authority, the upper-class of the trains have their children educated to worship him as a godlike figure, and he continues to mistreat the lower-class people of the train's rear-end, feeding them disgusting bars made from cockroaches. To keep the tail-enders under his control, Wilford uses his mole, Gilliam, to occasionally organize riots doomed to fail, ostensibly to let them purge their anger and costing many of them their lives. When Curtis tries to incite his own rebellion against Wilford, Wilford has Gilliam killed for failing to stop him and orders a massacre of the tail-enders, putting the slaughter on speakerphone to mock Curtis. Revealed to run his train with children in the engine, Wilford is a callous man with a god-complex, who only saved humanity at all to create a cult where he could feel adored as a messiah.
  • Tokyo Gore Police: The Chief of Police is a vicious Knight Templar who despises Engineers, despite being indirectly responsible for their creation. Doing whatever he can to keep the police privatized, he orders the assassination of Ruka's father for holding a rally against said privatization, immediately killing the assassin—Key Man's father—afterwards, later taking in Ruka as his own and training her to become the ultimate Engineer killer. He keeps a limbless woman as a pet, using her primarily for sex and violence. Witnessing the Key Man turn one of his men into an Engineer, the Chief orders a violent city-wide crackdown on possible Engineers, gleefully watching as psychotic policemen brutally slaughter both Engineer and human alike. Discovering that Ruka's now an Engineer, the Chief considers her a traitor and tries to kill her.
  • Vice: Julian Michaels is the corrupt CEO of the titular company, which lets thousands of clients live out their darkest fantasies on "artificials", humanoid androids designed with thoughts and feelings. Each day, Julian lets his clients hurt, rape and even murder the artificials before wiping their memories and repairing them each night. Apathetic to suffering, Julian is uncaring when told that allowing people to take such uninhibited actions will cause them to become violent criminals in society. After an artificial named Kelly escapes, Julian has his men hunt her using lethal force, killing multiple civilians in the process. When Kelly's ally reloads all the memories back into the artificials, causing them to attack the clients who made them suffer, Julian becomes irritated and decides to use a kill switch to wipe them out. A callous businessman who hides his vile nature under superficial charm, Julian is in truth only interested in what will bring him profit.
  • Yakuza Weapon (2011): Kurawaki is a rich Yakuza CEO who wants to unite every Yakuza group in Japan under his name, coming into power after having assassinated Boss Iwaki. Having a lustful obsession with Sister Nayoko since she was in high school, he later kidnaps her, making her dress up as a schoolgirl. When Shozo Iwaki comes to rescue her, Kurawaki and his brother make a getaway, shooting off Shozo's arm and knee with their helicopter. After surviving a helicopter crash that leaves him severely crippled, Kurawaki plans vengeance on Shozo, forming a gang of brainwashed homeless people that includes Shozo's blood brother Tetsu. Kidnapping Nayoko again, he plants a nuclear warhead inside the body of Boss Iwaki and forces Shozo to fight him, having a transmitter beacon ready to activate the warhead should Shozo kill him instead.
  • Dante is a 400-year-old woman who keeps herself alive by trading her soul with a younger person, then killing her old body, repeating the process indefinitely. When Dante's own Philosopher's Stone runs out, she sets in motion a plan to cause so much misery in Amestris that someone will be desperate enough to recreate the Stone, allowing her to steal it with no risk to herself. Abusive towards her Homunculi "children", Dante arranges for Ed to kill Greed. Stealing the body of her assistant, Dante later tries to move into the body of one of Ed's Love Interests when her current body begins to deteriorate. Said action is made even more disgusting by the fact Ed is both a teenager and the son of Dante's own ex-lover. When Gluttony falls into despair because of Lust's death, Dante, annoyed with him being unwilling to follow orders, callously destroys his mind to make him easier to control.
  • This version of Envy is an Ax-Crazy sadist, who uses his powers to torment his victims by taking on the forms of people's loved ones before killing them. He is responsible for murdering Maes Hughes, by impersonating his wife and rubbing it at his face before killing him. Envy is mostly seen manipulating Amestris's government behind the scenes with a string of mind games and murders. This all culminates in him killing Ed when he finds out that Envy is, in fact, the homunculus version of his half-sibling. Unlike other homunculi, who wanted to become humans, Envy was the sole exception, only working for Dante so he could kill as many people as possible, abusing both other homunculi and prisoners in the process simply for laughs. When captured by the Thule Society in his serpent form, Envy is kept docile by being allowed to painfully impale his father Hoenheim, with his fangs.
  • The anime incarnation of Barry the Chopper is far more vicious and horrifying than his original. He was once a simple butcher living in Central City, but when he grew bored of chopping up animals, decided to butcher his wife and found he loved the sensation and followed by gruesomely murdering many young women. Barry's killing spree came to a temporary halt when he was arrested after trying to kill the Elrics' childhood friend, Winry. Rather than be executed, Barry was experimented on, had his soul bound to a suit of armor, and was used as a guardian for the Fifth Laboratory. After it was destroyed, Barry slaked his bloodlust by joining a group of mercenaries to slaughter a camp of harmless Ishvalans.
  • Don't Be a Hero, by Chris Strange: Doll Face is a horrifying and childish psychopath with a desire only to hurt others. Having grown up bullied, Doll Face first used his terrible powers to seek vengeance on his tormentors; however, he quickly grew a taste for blood and power, and began using his powers on innocents worldwide. Be it forcing children to eat their own faces or turning others into his personal killing machines, Doll Face racks up a body count in the hundreds, and though seemingly killed after turning a school into a slaughterhouse where children cannibalized and murdered each other, Doll Face in truth was locked away by the government. Freed from his confinement by Quantra, Doll Face gleefully assists his new boss in brutally torturing and mentally destroying the young superpowered teen Sam, hoping to turn the boy into a walking weapon who will kill countless people. After Quantra is beaten, Doll Face takes matters into his own hands, skinning dozens of his own men alive then using them as meat puppets to hold back any heroes while he himself finishes driving Sam insane. Taking an unholy glee in his actions that disgust even Quantra himself, Doll Face was a truly repulsive monster who got his kicks from hurting defenseless people.
  • The Green Ember series: Morbin Blackhawk is the leader of the Lords of Prey and is responsible for the horrid state the country of Natalia is in. After slaying King Jupiter Goodson, Morbin teamed up with Redeye Garlackson, and together they razed the Great Wood, killing or kidnapping countless innocent rabbits. Those who weren't corrupted by Morbin were forced to become his slaves and servants, where they're constantly abused for showing even hints of defiance. Morbin and the Lords of Prey also occasionally take some of the child slaves away from their families so Morbin and the other birds can eat them. During his crusade to find the Green Ember, Morbin sends Redeye and his wolves around Natalia to look for it, where they burn down various settlements and kill anyone in their way. Eager to crush the rabbits' resistance, Morbin uses traitorous rabbits and his hordes of wolves and birds to attack the resistance, culminating in the death of Prince Smalls and hundreds of other rabbits. As the resistance continues to fend off Morbin's forces and interfere with his plans, he and the Lords of Prey order their subordinates to kill all of the child slaves solely as a show of force against the other slaves.
  • Old Kingdom: After Kerrigor aka Prince Rogirek became one of the Greater Dead, he tricked his half-brother into helping him murder their mother and their sisters in order for Kerrigor to use their blood to shatter the Charter Stones protecting the kingdom from the dead. Defeated and driven deep into death, Kerrigor's actions nevertheless destroyed The Old Kingdom, allowing all manner of The Undead free access to the world over the next several hundred years, while he waited for the chance to break free. Kidnapping the infant Sabriel, Kerrigor took her deep into death as part of a plot to blackmail her father, The Abhorsen, into freeing him. Years later, he traps The Abhorsen himself in Death and breaks free into the world of the living. He then tries to capture Sabriel and his revived half-brother as part of a plan to shatter the remaining Charter Stones. When this fails after The Abhorsen's heroic sacrifice, Kerrigor re-emerges from Death and leads a massive army of undead across the wall and into a girl's school, killing soldiers and students alike, before devouring Sabriel's Friendly Enemy, Mogget, alive and finally forcing Sabriel herself into a mutual kill. Obsessed with power and staying alive no matter what the cost to others, Kerrigor is the worst that the realm of the Dead has to offer.
  • Melkor, later known as Morgoth Bauglir, began life as one of the Valar, but his spite and arrogance precipitated his steady downfall into evil. Beginning by destroying the great lamps of Valinor and creating the pits of Utumno, Morgoth takes as many races as he can and personally enacts hideous, unspeakable tortures upon them until all that remains are grotesque perversions that he can use as his servants. Following his first defeat, Morgoth repays mercy with treachery, destroying the world trees, killing the king of the Noldor elves and stealing their treasures, leading to the deaths of thousands of elves when they pursue him, before setting up his base of operations in Middle-Earth. He delights in corrupting men into darkness, manufacturing and playing off corruption in their hearts to set them against each other and their allies. His "crowning achievement" is tricking and beguiling the first men into swearing an oath of eternal fealty to him, meant to enslave the race forever in body and spirit; mortality is considered a gift for Man, as normally souls of Men leave Arda and Morgoth's grasp. Morgoth launches brutal campaigns of slavery and genocide, including the destruction of Gondolin, the most beautiful and proud elven city, whose citizens are saved solely by the heroism of the city's warriors. He also tries to rape the elven princess Luthien out of nothing more than cruel lust. At one point, he condemns a man to horrible torture and then enacts a curse to see his children grow, suffer horribly and be rejected by both life and death, solely because the man dared to defy him.
  • Very Bad Deaths: Allen is a wealthy hyper-sadist who considers himself an artist and a scientist, specializing in human pain. With an encyclopedic knowledge of the most horrendous and painful ways to kill a man, Allen carves a legacy of torture, rape, and murder of the most twisted kinds over years, leaving at least 150 victims behind him. Allen considers it a test to keep his victims as alive as long as he can—his personal record being twenty-two days—and devises a variety of drugs ranging from those that promote fear and panic to those that amplify pain far beyond the usual, planning to continue murdering until he's able to catalog an entire book on the ways he's killed people. Allen's intended masterpiece is his intended fate for a happy family of four in Heron Island, BC: Allen intends to torture each member of the family to death over a course of days one at a time, the children included, before rendering the wife permanently aphasic and paraplegic, sending her off to an institute and visiting her regularly to continually remind her of what he did to her. Allen captures the protagonist, Russell Walker, and puts him through a round of torture to extract information from him, planning to visit as much of a month of torture on his associate Nika, and responds to the information that Russell's friend Zandor is psychic by gleefully sending unspeakably horrible mental images towards him and planning to keep him as his own pet, forcing him to bear the agony of every victim Allen murders for the rest of his life. A "one-in-a-billion freak" and a madman more vile than any other serial killer or sociopath the world has ever seen, Allen cheerfully admits he's a sociopath and revels in every minute in the marathons of agony he orchestrates.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Ego, Peter "Star-Lord" Quill's father and the Big Bad, is an immortal Celestial, who once traveled the universe seeking companionship, but found that other life utterly disappointed him and lost any interest in them. Ego instead decided upon a plan of assimilating all creation into himself in what he termed "The Expansion". Lacking the power to do so on his own, he sired countless children, hoping they would inherit his Celestial powers, killing them out of disappointment when they didn't. Traveling to earth, Ego met Meredith Quill, whom he developed genuine feelings for. Unwilling to deviate from The Expansion, Ego gave her the brain tumor that killed her to ensure nothing held him back from his self-appointed purpose. After learning Peter might carry the Celestial gene, Ego tracked him down, playing the good father to him before revealing the true purpose of The Expansion, revealing his true nature when he believed Peter wouldn't care. When Peter turns on Ego, Ego enslaves him to his own power to use Peter as a battery for the next thousand years before kicking off The Expansion to consume every living thing in the universe, spitefully destroying Peter's Walkman which was a gift from Meredith and his last link to his mother. When Peter attempts to stop Ego, Ego tries to murder Peter's friends as well with no care. Believing himself to be the ultimate being in the universe, convinced that all life is worthless save to be devoured and assimilated by him, and with his hands stained with the blood of thousands of his own children, Ego demonstrates the true terror of a godlike being hell-bent on imposing his nightmarish vision on the galaxy, while also managing to be one of the most personal villains in the franchise.
  • Back Dimensional Count Radiguet is a genocidal maniac with megalomaniacal fantasies of ruling the Dimensional War Party Vyram and Earth under an iron-fisted dictatorship. When his boss, Empress Juuza, arrived, he planned to overthrow her and attacked her. Failing at this, he had his memories removed and was banished to Earth, where he met a dying girl, whom he cured unknowingly and becomes his lover. After regaining his memories, he spurns and rejects her and than promptly kills her. Always wanting to rise higher and higher in the Vyram, he briefly aids the Jetman in killing his master Juuza, and later, after the Jetman defeat his rival Tranza, he has him tortured until he becomes insane and leaves him at the door of an asylum. Gaining a lustful obsession over having the love interest of Ryu Tendo, a girl named Rie, he has her brainwashed into his loyal servant Maria. After the brainwashing wears off, he kills Rie by saying he'd rather do that than give her to Red Hawk. A being of immense cruelty defined by his selfishness, Radiguet stands as one of the worst the franchise ever produced.
  • Far Cry 5: The Cook is the villain of the sidequest "A Dish Served Cold", and the most despicable member of Eden's Gate. An utter madman who specializes in starving innocents he is given charge over before crucifying and burning them alive, the Cook has served Eden's Gate for years, killing countless people—often against his superiors' orders. The Cook earned his moniker due to an event where he kidnapped a family of four, starved and tortured them for days, flayed and mutilated the parents before force-feeding the parts to the children, then burned the parents alive while laughing at the children's screams of horror. His only motivations being sadism and a sick desire to use his victims' screams as "hymns" as he ascends to Heaven, the Cook makes the most of his limited screentime to be a repulsive psychopath, even in the ranks of Eden's Gate.

Cameron Winter got approved a while ago. I haven't done a write up for him because I have been so busy watching a Let's Play of this one game that probably has a good candidate from what I have heard. I will try to do a write up later today.
