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.

You know, I may actually be able to get all 55 entries this week.

[tup] Jill. What the hero thinks isn't as important as how the story presents it. Hell, the version of Joker I did had Bruce promising to cure Joker; that's more his view though, than how the story in general presents it.

And speaking of Joker, yes to expanding his New 52 incarnation, but not THAT much.

Lighty, should the Basilisk stuff go like this?

Or don't bother?

Alright, Supergirl write-up time

  • Morgan Edge, the CEO of Edge Global, is introduced as an incredbily unpleasant, self-absorbed and sexist man, but quickly proves himself to be much worse than just that. Having personal profitable plans for the Waterfront of National City, Edge hires a terrorist for an attack on the underwater foundation of the district, endangering hundreds of people attending a public Supergirl event. After Lena Luthor buys CatCo from under his nose, which he planned on remodeling into his own personal propaganda paper, Edge shows just how low he is willing to stoop to destroy somebody for a perceived personal slight: By poisoning an entire public school full of children and then blaming it on Lena's countermeasure against the Daxamite invasion. When Lena confronts him, he has her knocked out and strapped on a remotely controlled plane, carrying more of the poisonous chemicals, which he intends to crash on the city. Edge also shows himself to be completely dismissive of his employee's lives, having two them killed to protect his reputation after failed assassination attempts on Lena, or even using one of them as a Human Shield to save his own hide at one point. In a world full of superpowered menances, Morgan Edge still manages to stand out as a despicable human being, only concerned with his own position of power.

Hope everything is fine.

BTW: Funny how Supergirl, the most light-hearted show of the Arrowverse, is so far the only show in it to produce a CM every season.

  • Basilisk:
    • Original manga: Tenzen Yakushiji, the Number Two of the Iga Clan and the true Big Bad, absolutely leaps heads and shoulders over any of his fellow ninja for sadism, cruelty, greed and monstrosity. Secretly a centuries old former Koga himself, Tenzen has nothing but loathing for the Koga and little use for his own Clan. When Princess Oboro seals away her mystic eyes, Tenzen attempts to rape her before being stopped by a Koga attack. Engaging the Koga ninja, Gyobu Kasumi, Tenzen hears how Gyobu's father was murdered by Iga and in their duel, tricks Gyobu into striking at a child, forcing the boy's father to take a fatal blow, solely so the child's pain rattles Gyobu enough for Tenzen to win. Tenzen sadistically toys with other ninja and abandons his loyal student Koshiro because Koshiro had objected to his actions with Oboro. When Tenzen captures the beautiful Koga shinobi, Kagero, because her powers make raping her impossible, he brutally tortures her by impaling her with needles, before attempting to rape Oboro with intent of forcing her to dispel Kagero's powers to force himself on her as well. When he faces off with the young Koga leader Gennosuke, Tenzen reveals his intent to destroy all in his path, end the war victoriously and force Oboro to be his bride while he rules Japan from the shadows through the young shogun.
    • The Ouka Ninja Scrolls: Joujin has the Treasures of Koga and the Flowers of Iga massacred to show off the abilities of his team, the Joujinshu. Seeking to turn the world into a living hell to satisfy his desires, Joujin attempts to implant the soul of Oda Nobunaga in the bodies of others, a process which kills them, and seeks to use Tadanaga Tokugawa as a host, later having him eliminated when he proves troublesome. He then attempts to force Hibiki Iga and her twin brother Hachiro Koga into incest for his plot, trying to kill them when they refuse and having their friends killed. In a different timeline, Joujin happily has Edo turned into an inferno, before trying to kill Hachiro and Hibiki again, before trying to rape Hibiki to create a new bloodline with which to send the world to hell.
  • Darker than Black:
    • Gaiden OVA: Claude, real name Shichi/Xi-Qi, is the Big Bad who stands out from the normally amoral superpowered Contractors by his outright hatred of normal humans. Claude torments his enemies before killing them by using his powers to masquerade as one of their loved ones and seeks to turn Yin into the Person of Mass Destruction Izanami. Claude is even callous enough to turn her into Izanami when she is in a base of Contractors, knowing that this would mean that her powers would kill everyone on the base, showing he cares nothing for his own kind even while trying to make a world where they rule over regular humans.
    • Flower of Darkness manga:
      • Harvest serves as an Evil Counterpart to Hei, replacing Hei's respect for humanity with contempt, considering them to be weak and pathetic. Harvest possesses the titular "Flower of Darkness" which can be given to a person to grant them powers, but sadistically forces the recipient to kill their best friend in return for power, also giving the best friend a Flower to entertain himself with the struggle. To prove his superiority to Hei, Harvest distributes Flowers to all of humanity in an effort to prove to himself that there is no such thing as morality, then pettily trying to destroy the whole planet when his plans are foiled.
      • The girls' academy volleyball coach, Daisuke Mioka, is a handsome, charming man who takes advantage of his young students by seducing them and secretly making videos of the sex to sell on the internet. When one student finds out, Daisuke tries to win back her trust by having a group of his friends rape her, before sweeping in to act as the hero who saves her. Daisuke also promises his friends that he will be "a little late" so that they can begin violating her before he arrives.
  • Galaxy Express 999 franchise:
    • 1979 film:
      • Count Mecha is the nemesis of young Tetsuro Hoshino. Once a man who accepted mechanization, Count Mecha decides to fill his days with hunting to alleviate boredom. His chosen prey is human beings. Mecha hunts down and slaughters countless innocents on his private world, including Tetsuro's mother, before taking them and mounting their remains as obscene trophies. When Tetsuro arrives, Mecha only sneers that he's killed too many mothers to remember them all and tries to murder the boy as well.
      • Queen Promethium, the mother of the heroine Maetel, condemned her world La Metal to mechanization and tried to murder Maetel's father when he attempted to oppose her. Running La Metal as a horrific dystopia, Promethium has people abducted and made into living machines to serve in perpetual agony as the power source of La Metal, having forced Maetel into a machine body so Maetel will gather victims for that purpose. When Maetel reveals her true plans against her evil mother, Promethium attempts to murder Tetsuro herself to deny Maetel any sense of victory.
    • Maetel Legend: Lord Hardgear is a Mad Scientist who wants to encase all of humanity in machine bodies that he can brainwash and control. Convincing the Queen of his planet to undergo the mechanization process, Hardgear has her order her subjects to do the same and threatens to kill those who refuse. During the mechanization process itself, the soul is separated from the body, which Hardgear liquefies and drinks. While fighting the Queen's daughters, Hardgear sends mechanized versions of their friends to attack them, relishing in exercising control over their former comrades.
  • Magical Girl Apocalypse: Wahre Liebe researcher Kaito Makabe kidnaps ten female scientists, knowing one has an ability he needs for his ritual to become God. Finding her, Makabe perversely experiments on her and mutilates the others. Annoyed when his android "daughter", Wataru, fails to capture Shinobu, a boy with powers he seeks, Makabe blows her apart. Creating a second Artificial Human, Himeji, Makabe's abuses lead his "son" to himself try to destroy multiple parallel Earths in a bid to be remade mortal so he can escape by dying. In the climax, Makabe reveals his true identity as Sou Shirokane, Shinobu's father, who murdered his own wife, then manipulated Shinobu into trying to bring her back, tampering with Shinobu's experiments to turn him into an unstable superhuman that almost destroys Tokyo. Eventually ascending to godhood, Makabe/Shirokane obliterates the entire multiverse to eradicate any opposition to his power.
  • Now and Then, Here and There: King Hamdo plunders resources from a desperate land and kidnaps children to use as soldiers in his army. Introduced strangling his own cat to death, Hamdo reacts with psychotic glee upon learning his men have found a girl who possesses an amulet capable of creating water, a precious resource in his time. When he discovers she's lost said amulet and refuses to help him find it, Hamdo flies into a rage and is implied to rape her. So cowardly that any threat to his life sends him into a panic, Hamdo orders his second-in-command to fire upon the frontline, not caring that his own Child Soldiers are engaged in combat.
  • The Black Bat, by Brian Buccellato et. al:
    • Oliver "Olly" Snate is a cheerfully wicked crime lord who runs the city through a mix of bribery, intimidation and violence. Murdering other criminals and bystanders alike, Snate grew enraged when Tony Quinn refused to give up a witness for him to execute and personally carved Quinn's eyes out. On the run later and enraged at the DA going after him, Snate conspires with Professor Cameron Tell to kidnap multiple police officers, having one murdered to force another to set off a bomb in the courthouse to kill hundreds if not thousands of innocents. When escaping from jail later, Snate even pointlessly murders one officer just because, in his words, "I hate cops", treating all the lives he destroys as little more than business and pleasure.
    • Behind even Oliver Snate is the aforementioned Professor Cameron Tell, an anarchist who seeks to tear down all authority and establish chaos in the streets. Cameron controls Snate and his organization's affairs from the shadows while ruthlessly routing out any loose ends, masterminding the entire conflict including the courtroom bombing that kills and injures hundreds of innocent people, while throwing blame on the judicial department for their inability to handle the situation. Cameron horribly wounds Quinn's girlfriend, murders the doctor providing for him when he balks at the innocent blood Cameron has and will spill, and tricked his assistant into working for him after murdering her husband while framing Quinn for it and trying to provoke her into shooting him.
  • Dark Shadows (Dynamite Comics): The vampire Lockwood was a Serial Killer in life before being attacked by Barnabas Collins. Surviving as a vampire and looking to sate his bruised ego, Lockwood begins turning children into vampires and has them murder their own families to "strengthen" them to serve as soldiers against Barnabas. After fleeing, Lockwood proceeds to slaughter more people and later allies with Barnabas's evil half, temporarily becoming human and celebrating by committing more murders just to see blood in the sunlight again. In the Bad Future, Lockwood helps butcher as much of the town of Collinport as he can while also trying to corrupt his former victim, the young vampire Emma. While Barnabas is a truly remorseful man looking to embrace his human side, Lockwood relishes in being a monster, whether as a human or as a vampire.
  • Django/Zorro, by Quentin Tarantino, Matt Wagner, & Esteve Polls:
    • Gùrko Zagreda Langdon is the Archduke of Arizona and a despicable slaver who sees himself as above all "commoners" by the decree of fate itself. Langdon feigns his way into becoming the Archduke by forging legal documents while killing anyone in his way, and passes off a native woman named Conchita he raises as Spanish royalty, marrying his way into power before raping and abusing Conchita all throughout the marriage. Langdon employs brutal slave labor of the native Indian tribes to build a colossal railroad through Arizona, killing many of them through the precarious missions to destroy the mesas blocking their path and having any others who complained tortured or murdered into silence. When opposed by Django and Zorro, Langdon heartlessly murders Zorro's steadfast servant Bernardo before deserting when the slaves revolt, killing his own son while decreeing him and his late wife a failure to his legacy.
    • "Anvil Charlie", real name Chareg, is a native who sells out his own people to slavery for the chance of immunity. Named so for his proficiency with an anvil hammer, Charlie takes delight in torturing any slave who complains by breaking their bones with his hammer with many tortured and killed by him, dismissing their pleas that his victims used to be his friends. When Django himself is brought to him, Charlie revels in the chance to torture him and intends to go for Django's "soft oysters" as well.
  • Nazi Zombies, by Joe Wight & Ben Dunn: General Hans Richter, head of the Totenkorps division in Useful Notes/WWII, is a cold psychopath reviled even by his fellow Nazis. Richter's undead forces slaughter hundreds of Allied forces while he works on plans to unleash the virus all over the world and turn the entire world into a graveyard over which he will rule. Along the way, Richter murders the doctor who devised the virus in the first place, and forces hundreds of prisoners to toil away at his base before murdering and zombifying all of them, and even plans to destroy Germany's own capital to assure his rise to ultimate power.
  • There Will Be Brawl: As befitting the work's tone, Kirby, here the Big Bad, is no friendly puffball, as shown by his nickname, "The Coral Cannibal". Having been arrested for multiple murders before the story starts, Kirby is quickly established to be a dangerously intelligent maniac who takes glee in tormenting his victims. Driving the powerful gang leader Mewtwo insane with his preachings, Kirby purposely disrupted the power balance of the Mushroom Kingdom, turning it into a desolate and poverty-stricken land, before manipulating children into killing Mewtwo when he's done with him. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that every major character has been harmed by him, and Meta Knight even goes so far as to devote his life to guarding Kirby's cell. A diabolical master of psychology, Kirby pretends to help Peach before she disappears, the finale revealing that he gruesomely killed her and left her body on display for the Mario brothers to find.
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game Mod Malevolent: Lucius Maelin is the aspiring Champion of Cyrodiil and a captain of the guard. When the Player is made Champion instead, he plots revenge. The Player meets Maelin while he is ambushing a lich threatening a town. He leads the Player inside the lich's lair and lets several of his soldiers die so the Player will be desperate to help. After equipping armor found inside and destroying the lich, the Player is informed by the living armor that with or without the Player's help, he will murder the blacksmith and the enchanter involved with its creation. After these murders the Player gets rid of the armor in a tomb; however, Maelin ambushes the Player. Maelin then informs the Player that he commissioned the armor and he altered the personality. He did this to pin it all on the Player to strip the Player of rank. He then gloats that with the deaths of the guards, no one will believe the Player. Knowing he will be champion for the just fighting you, he escapes, gloating that one day he will ensure the Player is executed. Captain Maelin insures the deaths of many of his allies all because he wasn't made Champion.
  • 009-1: The End of the Beginning (2013): Mylene's supposed "mother" figure, Dr. Klein, is a cruel Mad Scientist responsible for creating the 009 program and turning girls into cyborgs, which resulted in a number of casualties on the way. Using Mylene as an assassin, Klein is also involved with criminals who pursue human trafficking and organ trading, showing her darker colors when Mylene rescues her from a kidnapping by executing the kidnappers herself. Revealed as a traitor later, Klein admits everything she does is to satisfy her intellectual curiosity and shows she has something "better" than cyborgs: undead mutants made from people she's used as guinea pigs kept as servants in a state of agonized living death.
  • As the Gods Will (2014): Amaya Takeru is more openly sadistic than his already-unstable manga counterpart. A psychopathic juvenile delinquent, Amaya saw the games as a world where the "strong prey on the weak", gleefully taking the chance to satisfy his bloodlust. Introduced asking God if life has any real purpose, and then beating a group of boys before the games even start, Amaya makes his presence known by slaughtering the survivors of the second game with a katana. In later games, Amaya breaks the neck of a student that was running away from him and causes the death of two more students by letting them play a game that he already knew the answer from the start. When Shun confesses that he is nothing like him, Amaya casually tells him that he never intended to help him, and tries to win the game himself, believing that it would kill all the other students.
  • Bloody Chainsaw Girl (2016): Nero Aoi is a misanthropic, teenage scientist at Uguisu School who has dreams of world domination. Having become a pariah after experimenting on animals, Nero decides to be an anti-social outcast who builds a lab underneath the school and painfully turns her bullies into her mutant cyborg minions. Angered at Giko Nokomura for trying to befriend her, Nero orders her cyborgs kill her, planning to convert Giko into her own personal cyborg. Manipulating others into working for her, she coerces bullied cheerleader Bakutani into becoming a cyborg, and forcefully gives a sex change to the head of the ninja club to make him, Hanzo, and the club her cyborg bodyguards. Forcing the shop class to make weapons for her cyborgs, she turns 18 of its members into cyborgs, later killing them off and making them still-living skull attachments that power her Chainsaw of the Dead. Meeting Giko on the roof, Nero kills Hanzo when he gets in her way, attempts to detonate Bakutani when she tries to make amends with everyone, and still tries to kill Giko after she attempts to talk her into friendship.
  • Happy Death Day: John Tombs is a Serial Killer who was on the run for the murder of six women across the country, boasting that there are over a dozen more victims that haven't been found. After a confrontation with the police and killing an officer, Tombs is neutralized and taken into the hospital for a gunshot wound. In one of the loops, when Tree comes to the hospital to give a warning that Tombs will escape, she discovers that Tombs already murdered a security guard. Tombs then guns down a secretary at the hospital and chases down Tree to kill her as well. When Carter stops Tombs from killing Tree, Tombs snaps Carter's neck just to hurt her. He later gleefully watches Tree hang herself when she decides to reset the day. During the penultimate loop, when Tree confronts Tombs, Tombs steals her knife and attempts to slit her throat only to stop himself so that he can relish torturing her.
  • Helldriver (2010):
    • Rikka Miyata is the Queen of Zombies, and Kika's abusive mother.

When her giant zombie starts flying through the air, she drops her zombies onto the south side of Japan, watching as they devour hundreds in their path.
    • The aforementioned Yasushi Miyata is Rikka's neo-Nazi, cannibalistic brother-in-crime who helped her eat and kill 20 people.

When the supernatural investigator Hardestadt Delac invades his operation, Jacobs captures him and forces him to endure physical and psychological torture for days on end for the glee of breaking him, while intending to finish him by letting the blood-starved vampire women tear him to shreds before Jacobs personally finishes him. When resurrected by Nyarlathotep in Nights In Lonesome Arkham, Jacobs sells out all humanity to destruction and kills thousands in service to his new master.

When an adult Jacobs offered his father the chance to participate in snuff films, Hargrove leapt at the chance, not only because he thought Jacobs would turn him into a vampire as well, but also simply because he enjoyed the thought of sending countless women to be brutally raped and tortured to death on films which he could later watch. In his final moments, Hargrove proclaims he feels no regret for having handed dozens of women at a time over to Jacobs, and truthfully doesn't care about his son except as a an object for his "legacy" and a means to immortality.
    • Nights In Lonesome Arkham: Nyarlathotep himself is an all-too human monster distinguished from the other Outer Gods by his sadism and ambition. Once the nameless emissary of the Outer Gods who went from world to world to drive entire civilzations to madness before offering them up to be devoured by Azathoth, Nyarlathotep was given hope of a more meaningful existence by the angel Aleviel—before instantly reneging on that once she was cast down and vowing to annihilate the world she desired to protect out of spite. During his time on Earth, Nyarlathotep drives the entire city of Thinis to murderous, chaotic insanity, driving the populace to slaughter the city's children and restoring the sanity of the surviving populace their solely to bask in their suffering and horror; slaughters hundreds of thousands across the world, some merely as distractions; rises up the Great Old One Ithaqua in an effort to doom the planet to its deathly cold; keeps the populace of entire towns frozen in eternal agony as trophies of his previous conquests; and, at the end, reveals his intent to devour the other Outer Gods and come astride the rest of creation, devouring all in his way and keeping whatever is left to torment forevermore. With whatever decency Aleviel managed to awaken in him thoroughly trampled in the present day, Nyarlathotep is, at the end, nothing more than a wicked, spiteful, and endlessly sadistic entity thoroughly worthy of the moniker of the "Crawling Chaos".
