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:
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. "

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

Has anyone seen Office Uprising? I'm trying to decide whether or not to do an EP on anyone there, since I have a candidate in mind but I want a second opinion on whether or not it's worth it.

"I'll show you the Dark Side." CM actors and killsRewrite of Atreus
Original:
- Atreus was the king of Mycenae, the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, and the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. Accounts vary, but in some cases he, and his brother Thyestes, killed his half-brother out of jealousy. When his wife, Aerope, helped Thyestes take the throne, Atreus killed Aerope, and with the help of Hermes and Zeus, retook the throne. Despite this, upon learning of Aerope's adultery with Thyestes, he went further with his revenge, killing Thyestes's young sons. During a supposed reconciliation dinner, Atreus then tricked Thyestes into eating the flesh of his own sons and taunted him with their hands and feet, thus violating xenia like his grandfather, the aforementioned Tantalus. He then forced his brother into exile for eating the flesh of a human, despite him being unaware of that. In a family notorious for its multiple cases of incest, violence, and revenge, Atreus stood out by the sheer violence he was capable of and the joy he found in hurting his brother, all for the sake of revenge.

In a family notorious for its multiple cases of incest, violence, and revenge, Atreus stood out by the sheer violence he was capable of and the joy he found in hurting his brother, all for the sake of revenge.
I have two candidates from Classical Mythology in mind. Both of them were conforted by Heracles and violators of xenia. First is king Diomedes owner maneater mares and second is Lityerses who forced his guestes to harvest contest and beheaded those who would lose.
Are they worth proposing or not?
Actually, if this
is accurate, I'd be inclined to favor Diomedes. Hell, he seems as bad as, say, Procrustes.
The other dude
...eh, doesn't seem worse by comparison.
That's true.

Ok, this is the Diomedes with the carnivorous mares right? Because I was temporarily confused and thought he was the one who fought in the Trojan War.
"I'll show you the Dark Side." CM actors and killsLooked into some non-Western Animation, and found these two. First:
Kilvish from Shaktimaan: The Animated Series
The Show: An animated adaptation of Shaktimaan
, a popular superhero in India. Vehaan Arya was trained in the ways of the Astral, Heart, Vibration, Psychic, and Wisdom Chakras by seven Himalayan Yogic Gurus. When not defending Indus City and the world as Shaktimaan, the geeky Vehaan works as an assistant to Gyani, a computer science professor at Indus City University. Vehaan's love interest is Leena Ray, an Intrepid Reporter journalism student who cares for her younger brother, Chikoo.
Who They Are: After being kicked out by his abusive father, Kilvish swore to plunge not only his father's life into darkness, but the lives of everyone else in the world shortly before being found and taken in by the Yogic Gurus. A hot-tempered bully, Kilvish once "won" the temple's kite flying contest by causing all of the other kites to burst into flames, and started telekinetically strangling Vehaan (who he disliked from the moment they first met) when Vehaan brought this up to the Gurus.
Obsessed with acquiring power through any means, Kilvish began secretly learning the dark arts from an exiled Guru. The other Gurus, realizing what was going on, ordered the exile to stay away from Kilvish. While the exile was forbidden from training Kilvish any further, he got around this by willingly letting Kilvish rip all of his knowledge of the dark arts from his mind, which allowed Kilvish to quickly surpass all of the other students of the Gurus. Kilvish was convinced that his raw power would cause the Gurus to choose him to become the next Yogic Master, but when they chose Vehaan (because of his compassion and empathy, which disgusted Kilvish) instead, Kilvish snapped and ripped out the souls of all of his and Vehaan's fellow students while screaming, "But I am the best!" Kilvish tried to get Vehaan too, but he was driven off by the Gurus.
Kilvish fled to Indus City, where he acquired a pair of henchmen named Tick and Tock, and started using the suffering souls of his and Vehaan's classmates to produce weapons called Cyber Souls. While Kilvish wants to take over the Earth, he does not care what state the world is in so long as he controls it, so he is fine with causing as much devastation as possible while enacting his plots, partly due to being a sadist, and partly to spite Vehaan and the Gurus.
What They Do:
- 1. Kilvish orders Tick and Tock to infect the World Wide Wi-Fi HQ in Indus City with a Cyber Soul. When Tick expresses unease over this, he is briefly tortured by Kilvish. Once the network is under his control, Kilvish uses it to drain energy (for a Humongous Mecha) from digital devices all over the city, which he decides to destroy as a way of testing the Mecha. The Mecha thrashes the city, shoots down a military helicopter, and nearly crushes two children before being destroyed by Shaktimaan.
- 2. During a meeting with Tick and Tock—who he takes a shot at for annoying him—Kilvish decides to demoralize and emotionally torment Shaktimaan by taking control of the subway system in order to cause deadly train crashes, all just to murder a few children (including Chikoo) who have formed a "Shaktimaan Friends Club." Shaktimaan prevents the subway disaster, so Kilvish takes another shot at the children by siccing a mud monster on them, but it is destroyed by Shaktimaan.
- 3. Kilvish has Tick and Tock taint a new experimental self-replicating bio fuel with a Cyber Soul. The contaminated fuel turns into a Blob Monster that starts thrashing Indus City. Along with causing widespread destruction, the creature will also gradually absorb all of the world's fuel, which will force everyone to turn to and grovel before Kilvish.
- 4. Kilvish allies with Doctor Jackol. Together, the two use an unwilling Tick and Tock's bodies to incubate Cyber Soul-tainted alien spores that are then dumped on Indus City. The spores turn into a giant energy-absorbing plant, which Kilvish orders Jackol to have suck the life out of as many bystanders as possible in order to draw out Shaktimaan.
- 5. Weary of living in hiding underground, Kilvish decides to take over (and blacken) Taj Mahal. To expedite his takeover of the Taj, Kilvish dumps a toxic Cyber Soul into the Yamuna River. The polluted water and its fumes kill flora and fauna, and start sickening everyone in Andra. Kilvish laughs when he notices a boat full of tourists nearly dissolve in the now acidic waters of the Yamuna, but they are saved by Shaktimaan, who vanquishes the Cyber Soul when it turns into a pollution-based monster controlled by Kilvish.
- 6. Jackol steals a large amount of Element X and brings it to Kilvish, who is going to use it to melt the North Pole and flood all of the major cities of Earth. Shaktimaan (who has his first fight with Kilvish after following Jackol back to Kilvish's lair) beats Jackol, and saves everyone trapped underground by his theft of the Element X.
- 7. Kilvish backs Jackol up telepathically while Jackol tries to crash a crowded airplane that Gyani is aboard, but the crash is prevented by Shaktimaan.
- 8. Taking advantage of the intense gravitational pull caused by a planetary alignment, Kilvish and Jackol have Tick and Tock plant a bomb (not caring if it detonates while Tick and Tock are still in its vicinity) on the floor of the Arabian Sea. The bomb, enhanced by the alignment, causes earthquakes, as well as a massive tsunami that threatens all of Indus City.
- 9. Jackol's latest invention, powered by a pair of Cyber Souls, blacks out Indus City for Kilvish. Kilvish taunts Shaktimaan by pointing out that everything from hospitals to fire departments are now at his mercy, and when Shaktimaan tries to restart the city dam's generator, Kilvish drains his energy and channels it into a new bio-mechanical monster piloted by Jackol.
- 10. Jackol reports to Kilvish that his mutagenic serum is complete, so Kilvish gives him the go-ahead to use it to turn an unwilling Tock into a Hybrid Monster. When the plot is foiled, Tick and Tock are immobilized from the neck down and left to the mercy of a tiger by Kilvish.
- 11. Gyani is hired to build animatronic zombies for a theme park, but they are sabotaged by Jackol. The robots will suck the minds out of anyone they come into contact with (turning the victims into a kind of living zombie in the process) and transfer them into Jackol thanks to a Cyber Soul provided by Kilvish ("Just bring me Shaktimaan's mind. I want to feel his terror as I absorb his very essence!") The day is saved again by Shaktimaan, and Kilvish is shown raging at visions of the Gurus. When they bring up Kilvish's lack of a pure heart, Kilvish threatens to tear out and crush their's and Shaktimaan's.
- 12. When Jackol's plot to make Mt. Indus erupt is thwarted, Kilvish enacts the backup plan of unleashing a Magma Man.
- 13. Having had enough, Kilvish tracks down his old Evil Mentor, and convinces the man to give him all of his power so that Kilvish can combine it with his own and use it against Shaktimaan. Kilvish then challenges Shaktimaan to a one on one duel to the death in the mental plane, which Kilvish has reshaped into a replica of the dojo of the Gurus, simply to mess with Shaktimaan. Shaktimaan overpowers, but fails to detain, Kilvish.
- 18. Kilvish, after supposedly coming close to uncovering the secret of ultimate power, returns, and regroups with Tick and Tock. Espousing his belief that chaos is the natural state of the universe and that it needs fear to spread, Kilvish gives Tick and Tock a Cyber Soul that can trap people in never-ending nightmares, and tells them to dump it in the water supply of Indus City. Everyone but Shaktimaan falls comatose, and Kilvish taunts Shaktimaan, offering to spare him if Shaktimaan bows down and acknowledges him as his "Supreme Leader." Kilvish uses everyone's nightmare-induced fear to produce a darkness demon that starts blacking out Indus City. The demon feeds on Shaktimaan's fear of failing to save his friends and loved ones and of succumbing to the darkness, but, in the end, it is vanquished (and everyone woken up) by Shaktimaan.
- 19. An exasperated Kilvish tortures Tick and Tock by dangling them over a Shark Pool. He subjects the two to a mock execution, and then visits his old master, wanting more information, which he gets when the exile tells him about an amulet connected to the Demon Lord. Kilvish frees the Demon Lord from the amulet using a Cyber Soul. The Demon Lord sucks Chikoo into his Hell dimension, but he is followed by Shaktimaan, who enters a Sealed Evil in a Duel situation with the immortal Demon Lord, to the enjoyment of Kilvish.
- 22. After psychically taunting a meditating Shaktimaan, Kilvish has Jackol give an oblivious Tick and Tock a kite to fly in a festival that is going to be held in Indus City. Kilvish and Jackol have altered the kite so that it will turn into a dragon that will slaughter all of the children participating in the kite festival, all just to hurt Shaktimaan ("Shaktimaan has always had a weak spot for children").
- 24. The blind stone, a strange rock that emits a special kind of radiation that blinds anyone exposed to it, is infused with a Cyber Soul by Kilvish. The stone becomes powerful enough to start stealing the sight of everyone in the city, and is accidentally turned into a monster by Shaktimaan's failed attempt to destroy it, as planned by Kilvish. The creature blinds Shaktimaan, and sets out to do the same to everyone on Earth, but it is eventually destroyed by Shaktimaan.
- 25. Jackol gets Kilvish's permission to hijack one of the military's new and untested nuclear missiles, which they will use to annihilate Indus City, and hopefully Shaktimaan ("and a few million innocent bystanders"). Shaktimaan is able to prevent the nuking (which would have killed a vacationing Tick and Tock, not that Kilvish appeared to care). Kilvish remotely fires all of the other villains (threatening to rip their souls out if he ever sees them again) and decides to have another direct confrontation with Shaktimaan.
- 26. Kilvish confronts his mentor and threatens him into revealing the secret of ultimate power, which the exile claims is The Power of Hate. The exile explains that while Kilvish's hate has made him powerful, it is also what made him sloppy when it comes to Shaktimaan. But if Kilvish can turn the tables and fill Shaktimaan with as much hate as he has, make Shaktimaan so infuriated that he is willing to kill, then Kilvish should finally be able to overcome and kill Shaktimaan. Kilvish calls out Shaktimaan, and as the two of them duel, he rejects Shaktimaan's offer of peace, and starts trying to poison Shaktimaan's mind with "inevitabilities" like him ripping out of the souls of the Gurus, corrupting Chikoo and causing him to be hurt by Shaktimaan, and murdering Leena. Shaktimaan, blinded and careless with rage, goes ballistic and nearly strikes down Kilvish, but as Kilvish is (seemingly) helpless before him, Shaktimaan gets a flash of Kilvish's past, regains his senses, and, being the All-Loving Hero that he is, forgives Kilvish. Kilvish, enraged, screams, "No, you can't! I won't let you forgive me! I'll destroy everything you cherish, everyone you love until you hate me more than anything in the world!" Shaktimaan, harnessing the true ultimate power of The Power of Love, tells Kilvish that he pities him because he is stuck in a Hell of his own design, in that he loves no one and no one loves him because he believes that Love Is a Weakness. Shaktimaan shrugs off every attack that is thrown at him by an increasingly enraged Kilvish, who ends up accidentally vaporizing himself and his mentor, which frees everyone who had their souls stolen and imprisoned by Kilvish, allowing them to move on to the Afterlife.
Heinousness: He was the Big Bad, and responsible for nearly all evil in the show; even when Jackol acted on his own, he usually received some kind of backing from Kilvish. His villain cred is pretty well established by the second episode, which has the first flashback to him stealing and imprisoning the souls of Shaktimaan's friends, and him deciding to cause a bunch of subway crashes just to kill some children as his way of emotionally tormenting Shaktimaan.
- Kilvish: I know you're on the way to meet your young friends.
Shaktimaan: If you harm them, I swear you'll regret it!
Kilvish: Temper, temper. I haven't touched them; all I did was... switch their train tracks. Did I forget to mention, Shaktimaan, that several trains are about to crash?
Shaktimaan: You're a cruel madman to threaten children, Kilvish! But, I assure you, I will save them!
Kilvish: Just like you saved your young friends when we were in training, eh?
Mitigating Factors: The only point of contention is the final episode's brief flashback showing his father physically abusing him (because Kilvish did not make enough as a beggar that day) before throwing him out while yelling, "You worthless child, you've brought only darkness to my life!"; to which a defiant Kilvish responds, "No one will ever treat me this way again! I'll study and become the most powerful person in the world! Then I'll bring darkness to your life... AND EVERYONE ELSE'S!" The vows to get back at his father and Never Be Hurt Again are understandable, but the wanting to plunge the entire world into darkness and chaos as well is... less so; he is pissed off at how his father treated him, and has decided to just take it out on literally everyone and everything during his multiple gleeful Despotism Justifies the Means attempts to Take Over the World.
Second:
Doctor Jackol from Shaktimaan: The Animated Series
Who They Are: Doctor Jackol was a weapons-obsessed university classmate and later colleague of Professor Gyani who developed armaments for General D'Goze. Feeling unappreciated by D'Goze, who merely took his work without bothering to fund it or credit him for it, Jackol began selling weapons to terrorists, including a group that had killed Gyani's mother in a subway bombing in downtown Indus City. Gyani learned what Jackol was doing, and Jackol was arrested by D'Goze after unsuccessfully trying to shoot his way out, with Gyani never learning that Jackol was possibly involved in the bombing that killed his mother, whose personality Gyani used as the basis for his supercomputer, Louise.
Jackol at one point talked his way out of his twenty year sentence by promising to produce cyborg super soldiers for D'Goze, with the first volunteer for the conversion process being a patriotic lieutenant named Nex. D'Goze was pleased with Jackol's work, but still downplayed Jackol's contributions, which enraged Jackol (who was shown snapping when D'Goze did not bother to shake his hand after a field test) to the point that he proceeded to lobotomize Nex, turning him into a mindlessly destructive killing machine that was to be the first in an army of them (made from D'Goze's captured men) that Jackol would use against D'Goze. Jackol lost control of Nex before he could install his nuclear powers and produce more cyborgs, and was re-incarcerated after Nex was brought down and imprisoned by D'Goze.
What They Do:
- 4. An escaped Jackol allies with Kilvish. Together, the two use an unwilling Tick and Tock's bodies to incubate Cyber Soul-tainted alien spores that are then dumped on Indus City. The spores turn into a giant energy-absorbing plant, which Kilvish orders Jackol to have suck the life out of as many bystanders as possible in order to draw out Shaktimaan.
- 6. Jackol steals a large amount of Element X and brings it to Kilvish, who is going to use it to melt the North Pole and flood all of the major cities of Earth. Shaktimaan beats Jackol, and saves everyone trapped underground by his theft of the Element X.
- 7. Jackol, with telepathic assistance from Kilvish, tries to assassinate Gyani by crashing a crowded airliner (planning on filming everything so that he can use the footage to relive the deaths of Gyani and all of the other passengers over and over again) that Gyani is aboard, but the two are stopped by Shaktimaan.
- 8. Taking advantage of the intense gravitational pull caused by a planetary alignment, Kilvish and Jackol have Tick and Tock plant a bomb (not caring if it detonates while Tick and Tock are still in its vicinity) on the floor of the Arabian Sea. The bomb, enhanced by the alignment, causes earthquakes, as well as a massive tsunami that threatens all of Indus City.
- 9. Jackol's latest invention, powered by a pair of Cyber Souls, blacks out Indus City for Kilvish. Kilvish taunts Shaktimaan by pointing out that everything from hospitals to fire departments are now at his mercy, and when Shaktimaan tries to restart the city dam's generator, Kilvish drains his energy and channels it into a new bio-mechanical monster piloted by Jackol.
- 10. Jackol reports to Kilvish that his mutagenic serum is complete, so Kilvish gives him the go-ahead to start extracting DNA from endangered species, to be tracked down by Tick and Tock. Jackol uses the DNA, the serum, and a Cyber Soul to make a monster out of an unwilling Tock, who Jackol mind controls into going after the Shaktimaan Friends Club in order to draw out Shaktimaan and Gyani.
- 12. Jackol's latest plot to assassinate Gyani is another overkill one that involves blowing up the dormant volcano Mt. Indus, an act that will decimate all of Indus City. When Tick and Tock finish setting up the explosives in the tunnels beneath Mt. Indus, they are abandoned and left to die by Jackol.
- 15. On Gyani's mother's birthday, Jackol arms a radioactive bomb, and gives Gyani one hour to find where he has hidden it in Indus City. The bomb turns out to be attached to a subway train in the station where Gyani's mother died, and is disposed of by Gyani and D'Goze. Unfortunately, Jackol designed the bomb so that its radiation would corrupt and enhance Gyani's bomb-disposal robot, which begins rampaging, only to be stopped by Shaktimaan.
- 16. Jackol breaks out an insane electronics prodigy named Rico. Jackol's latest creations, a helmet and gloves that can take control of computerized machines, can only be used by someone with defective brainwaves like Rico's. Since Kilvish is MIA, Jackol needs another source of revenue, so he has Rico try to steal a big shipment of gold, though when he notices that Gyani is near the gold transport, he offers to give all of the gold to Rico if Rico can take out Gyani through any means necessary; Rico nearly causes an oil tanker to explode, and uses a news helicopter to airlift a school bus full of children to a scrap yard as bait for Gyani. When Shaktimaan interferes with his attempts on Gyani's life, Rico resorts to throwing the school bus into a car compactor, but the bus is saved (and Rico defeated and re-committed to an asylum) by Shaktimaan.
- 17. Jackol creates and unleashes one monster and disaster (bombing a skyscraper, sending an oil tanker out of control before blowing it up, etc.) after another to mentally fatigue Shaktimaan. Once Shaktimaan is worn out, Jackol will get him with a hypnotic device, which he tests out on Tock, instructing him to "kill Tick" before deciding, at the last minute, to spare Tick. When Shaktimaan becomes sufficiently exhausted, Jackol deploys a robot and has it start incinerating everything in its path to lure out Shaktimaan. Jackol hypnotizes Shaktimaan and tries to force him to execute Gyani, Leena, and Chikoo.
- 20. Jackol has Tick and Tock start abducting people with a giant robotic Killer Gorilla. The people (including children, the best bait) are trapped inside of the gorilla, and used as human shields, preventing Shaktimaan from going all out against the gorilla, at least until they are rescued by Shaktimaan. Jackol traps Shaktimaan in the gorilla, weakens him with a power-dampening collar, and then has the gorilla jump into the core of the Earth. Jackol orders Tick (since Tock is unwilling) to gun down all of the abductees, but Shaktimaan—who escaped from the gorilla thanks to the dampener collar giving out before he did—rescues them, which prompts Jackol to flee, leaving behind Tick and Tock.
- 21. Jackol gets Kilvish's go-ahead to bust out Nex. Jackol breaks into prison, gains control of Nex using a Cyber Soul and, using a visiting Leena as his unwilling cameraperson, threatens to release every "crazy killer" in the prison to lure out Gyani and D'Goze. Shaktimaan prevents Nex from assassinating Gyani and D'Goze, and is able to restore Nex's humanity, to the consternation of Jackol.
- 22. Kilvish has Jackol give an oblivious Tick and Tock a kite to fly in a festival that is going to be held in Indus City. Kilvish and Jackol have altered the kite so that it will turn into a dragon that will slaughter all of the children participating in the kite festival, all just to hurt Shaktimaan ("Shaktimaan has always had a weak spot for children"). Annoyed by how incompetent Tick and Tock are at flying a simple kite, Jackol takes remote control of it, turns it into the dragon, and starts trying to roast all of the children of Indus City.
- 23. Rony, a small-time hood and former friend of Vehaan who was jailed by Shaktimaan, is released, and realizes that Vehaan is Shaktimaan. Jackol, who obsessively monitors anything and everything relating to Shaktimaan, including the mere mention of his name, tracks down Rony, and offers an alliance against Shaktimaan. Jackol is doubtful that Vehaan is actually Shaktimaan, but he still gives Rony and his lackeys powered armor (the durability of which he tests by blasting them right after Rony and Co. put them on) for use against Shaktimaan. Rony and Jackol threaten to blow up Indus City University to try and force Vehaan to turn into Shaktimaan. Vehaan uses an astral projection of Shaktimaan to dispose of the bomb, but is unable to catch the fleeing Rony.
- 25. Jackol gets Kilvish's permission to have Rony's gang and Rico help him hijack one of the military's new and untested nuclear missiles, which they will use to annihilate Indus City, and hopefully Shaktimaan ("and a few million innocent bystanders"). Shaktimaan is able to prevent the nuking (which would have killed a vacationing Tick and Tock, not that Jackol appeared to care) with help from Nex. Kilvish remotely fires all of the other villains, including Jackol.
Heinousness: While he wanted to get rid of Gyani and D'Goze first and foremost, he was perfectly fine with helping Kilvish spread his "darkness" across the Earth, and proved to be just as bad as Kilvish whenever he struck out on his own, trying to nuke Indus City just to kill Shaktimaan, taking people captive for use as human shields before ordering that they be shot once he was done with them, breaking out and arming a psychotic with a WMD before unleashing him on the city, seemingly going out of his way to kill as many people as possible (crashing an airplane, blowing up a volcano, etc.) while trying to assassinate Gyani and D'Goze, etc.
Mitigating Factors: While he was swindled (twice) by D'Goze, his response was to start selling weapons to terrorists (including the ones who killed the mother of his supposed best friend) the first time, and to lobotomize a man (intended to be the first of many) in order to turn him into a literal killing machine the second time, which certainly feels like Disproportionate Retribution. Additionally, it's made clear that Jackol was not some kind of Fallen Hero who had altruistic motives for working for the Indian Army. He just wanted money, fame, and to indulge his love of weapons, especially WMDs.
While Kilvish was always played deadly serious, Jackol was a more comedic character, with a Verbal Tic of constantly yelling, "Power!" and a habit of doing things like eating popcorn, listening to classical music, lounging around in an Old-Timey Bathing Suit, acting like a boxing commentator, etc. during his bouts with Shaktimaan. This does not do much to take away from his villainy, though, basically making the psychopathic Large Ham to Kilvish's sociopathic Cold Ham.

How many does this make For Takeshi Miike ?
I know he's one of the rare creators whose both created and played a cm. The only other ones I know off are David croenberg, Alex Hirsh and Harlan Ellis.
