At Masters of the Universe, the quote replaces the current page quote (please add the current page quote to Complete Monster, Comic Books), while the entry goes at the end of the page.

"I think because we as a show have so much interest in humanizing our villains, I really wanted Horde-Prime to be different. There is evil in this world. It's dishonest to say that everyone is capable or worthy of redemption. There are people who have stewed in their own hatred for so long that the only thing you can do is just... She-Ra banishes him. 'There's no place for you in this world.' If there was ever any good in Hordak-Prime, if there ever was love or kindness, this is someone who has prolonged his life for so long by taking over the bodies of others, for centuries. Eventually, everything became about his ego about remaking everything the way he wanted it, remaking it so he had complete control over it. In its most mundane form, I think that is what evil is."

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

  • Horde Prime, true ruler of the Horde, is an ancient being who exists by stealing the bodies of his clones who he breeds to be mindlessly loyal drones, any hint of individuality or imperfection resulting in erasure. Having exterminated countless worlds in the name of order, Prime is only swayed from destroying Etheria by the realization he can use it as a weapon, sending his discarded "brother" Hordak to have his identity erased. Later brainwashing Catra, Horde Prime tries to force Catra's suicide before Adora when she resists, using those he controls as weapons against their loved ones. Seeking to activate the Heart, Prime launches attacks on Etheria with threats to destroy the world, ending by trying to have Hordak himself kill his beloved Entrapta when she tries to warn him of the consequences. Finally activating the Heart, Horde Prime gleefully attempts to annihilate the entire universe as the ultimate culmination of order and his twisted ego.

Comic Books:

"He-Man! Welcome foolish brute...welcome to the doom of Eternia and the universe in which it exists. I have traveled the lengths of the multiverse, wreaking havoc, bringing terror wherever the shadow of Skeletor's boot fell across the cowering populace. Billions of souls, countless worlds, universes beyond counting all fell to my might. Oh but never have I held such raw power in my fists. With this, I could cause the very cosmos itself to be gone, with a thought. So come He-Man and greet the death of everything! Ha, Ha, ha!"
Skeletor, Masters of the Universe (1982 DC Comics miniseries)

Literature:

"They should all be put to the sword," Joffrey declared suddenly. "The Mallisters and Blackwoods and Brackens...all of them. They're traitors. I want them killed, Grandfather. I won't have any generous terms. The king turned to Grand Maester Pycelle. "And I want Robb Stark's head too. Write to Lord Frey and tell him. The king commands. I'm going to have it served to Sansa at my wedding feast."
King Joffrey Baratheon to Lord Tywin Lannister, A Storm of Swords

Western Animation (please remove the Atrocitus quote):

"Cry Etheria! Cry for Prime's mercy! There will be no comfort for you! All the universe will be consumed in undying flame!"

Please replace the entries at X-Men with this:

Earth-616 X-Men

    Examples 
  • Ahab: Rory Campbell, in the dark future, became a monstrous cyborg. Responsible for the Hounds program, Ahab tortures mutants into his obedient dogs and uses them to track down and convert or murder other mutants. Ahab attempts to do this to the child Franklin Richards, even trying to convert his family, returning with his Hounds to also hunt down his arch-nemesis Rachel Summers and wipe out the X-Men. Ahab later manages to incorporate psychic powers with a Hound, able to inject memories of horrific torture to shape his victims more efficiently, attempting to exterminate mutantkind and whoever else gets in his way.
  • Apocalypse: An ancient Egyptian who gained his powers from Celestial technology, En Sabah Nur, better known as Apocalypse, is one of the oldest—and evilest—mutants in existence. Believing that the strong must dominate the weak, Apocalypse aims to test humanity. Those who survive the process will be allowed to live as his servants, those who fail, die. Apocalypse has a history of granting powers to other unscrupulous individuals, transforming Nathaniel Essex into the mad geneticist Mister Sinister in exchange for Sinister agreeing to unleash a plague that would exterminate most of humanity, and empowering terrorist leader Moses Magnum, in exchange for the latter winnowing out the strong from the weak. His other crimes include infecting the infant Cable with Techno-Organic Virus, as well as turning Cable's clone, Stryfe, into the monster he is today; trying to force humanity to reduce its own population by ninety percent or face the wrath of another meta-plague; and effectively killing Stryfe by bodyjacking him. He later conducts experiments on test subjects to find a new body, and, seeing himself as a god, eventually destroys a civilization. Believing wholeheartedly that those he considers weak must be slain, Apocalypse is well deserving of his name.
  • Fabian Cortez: He is the leader of the defunct Upstarts, a group of mutants that hunted and killed other mutants for points and bragging rights in Selene's Upstarts competition. In his first outing, he puts together the Acolytes and tries to sway Magneto back towards taking an antagonistic stance against humanity. When Magneto is wounded, Cortez uses his own powers to make him dependent on his treatment under the pretense he was helping him. Cortez's machinations lead to the U.S. and Russia destroying Asteroid M with a plasma cannon, which resulted the deaths of his entire first group of Acolytes, including his own sister. When Magneto returns and Cortez loses his top spot in the competition, he goes to Genosha and inspire the mutants there to rise up against their oppressive human government, causing a bloody civil war. At the same time, he kidnaps Magneto's infant granddaughter so he can use her as a Human Shield against the X-Men, the Avengers, and Exodus in an attempt to kill as many of the Avengers as possible. When Magneto becomes the ruler of Genosha and learns the hidden technology that can restore his power levels, Cortez betrays him by amping up ex-Acolytes to send against him. A supremacist and a backstabber at its finest, Cortez committed his despicable crimes in order to score points in a competition.
  • Mister Sinister: A nineteenth-century eugenicist who believed that people should be bred in order to produce superhumans, Nathaniel Essex was approached by Apocalypse, who granted him near-immortality, regenerative, and psionic powers. Betraying Apocalypse, Sinister struck out on his own. Recognizing his own genetic handiwork in some of the Morloks, a group of street-dwelling mutants, Sinister hired the Marauders to exterminate them, because he viewed their existence as plagiarism. Obsessed with Scott Summers's bloodline, Sinister cloned Jean Grey, and sent the clone, Madelyne Pryor, to have a child with Scott, so that he might then steal the child. He later tried to use the High Evolutionary space station in order to alter the genetics of the entire planet; failing in this endeavor, Sinister later sent out the Marauders to murder everyone who knew about the dark future where Apocalypse ruled the world. On another occasion he merged with the Dreaming Celestial and transformed the entire population of San Francisco into clones of himself. At another time, Sinister, then part of the Weapon X project, promised to free the project's prisoners from the concentration camp they were held in, only to turn around and use them as part of his own experiments. Concerned only with his mad genetic theories, Sinister has worked with everyone from Josef Mengele to Apocalypse in the interest of furthering his research, and making himself the dominant life form on Earth.
  • Amanda Mueller: A ruthless mutant geneticist who worked with the aforementioned Mr. Sinister, she faked miscarriages in order to supply Sinister with her own babies to experiment on. She eventually joined the Black Womb project where she assisted in experimenting on countless babies with methods too vile even for some of her partners, in one instance strangling a baby to death on camera. Seeking to murder Professor Xavier to use Mr. Sinister to repair her body, Mueller demonstrates that in depravity, she is nearly the equal of Essex himself.
  • Omega Red: Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich was a Soviet soldier stationed at a small town who started murdering from sheer boredom. His fellow soldiers shot him in the back of the head when they caught him. The Russian government learned he survived and recommended him for the Soviet Super-Soldier project, which he apparently only survived due to his nature. To survive carbonadium poisoning, he drains the life forces of those around him, even when a cure is available. He later turned on and killed several of his employers working for the Hand for the reason that they irritated him. In his presently final issue, he ends up in a regular Russian prison and taunts a prisoner dying of HIV/AIDS by calling him worthless. He later casually kills Wildchild by impaling him through the chest and dumping him in molten lava.
  • Donald Pierce: The cyborg leader of the Reavers is a raving bigot who's thrown in his lot with the Hellfire Club as the White Bishop for a chance to kill as many mutants as possible. Preferring not to go after targets who can fight back, Pierce deliberately goes after the young and vulnerable, having murdered over 300 innocent mutants-—virtually all of them children or infants-—with nothing short of glee, transforming his Reavers into cyborgs as well to have them kill as much as they want. Opting to torture the heroes if they fall into his hands, and even plotting the betrayal of his own nominal allies in the Hellfire Club, Pierce is such a vile, spiteful, cowardly bully so filled with hate his last words before Cyclops kills him is to say he's just sorry he won't be around to see the mutant race destroyed.
  • Sabretooth (pre-AXIS): While Wolverine rejects the savage, animal side of him, fellow mutant Victor "Sabretooth" Creed embraces it. He became a mercenary, while also committing multiple murders for fun. Sabretooth is known for making a game of hunting down women and children before killing and eating them, including live babies. One issue of Deadpool revealed that, after slaughtering a large group of people, he had a little girl locked in his closet as a snack for later. Sabretooth once joined X-Factor, though he was revealed to be faking a Heel–Face Turn in order to ensure that a psychic dependence on an addiction was removed. He promptly attempted to murder those he could. At one point, Sabretooth found himself as an unlikely father figure to Wolverine's amoral son Daken. This wasn't out of altruism however. Sabretooth played off Daken's desire for fatherly affection and drove him towards a confrontation with his father solely to hurt Wolverine more after he was forced to kill Daken. Every affection he ever had for Daken was a lie: Sabretooth would have killed Daken himself, but wanted the death to be at Wolverine's hands for maximum agony. For decades, Sabretooth has reveled in his monstrosity. He mixes his sadism with a brutal cunning and intellect, and is revealed to remember every life he's ever ended because he savors every death he deals.
  • Selene (Gallio): At times Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, she is one of the few mutants to be older than Apocalypse, and one of the few who can match his evil. A psychic vampire, Selene survives by draining the minds of other beings into herself, a move which brainwashes those she only preys on a little, and kills those she drains completely. She's also possessed of a phenomenal god complex, and has repeatedly tried to attain godhood, and has forced others to worship her. Her crimes include trying to psychically devour the entire city of Rome; using mind control to force the citizens of Nova Roma to worship her as a goddess; trying to kill her own descendant, Magma; successfully killing her loyal servant Eli Bard; manipulating Wither, an otherwise good kid, into descending into omnicidal mania while pretending to love him; promising the Upstarts prizes if they committed enough murders;repeatedly trying to bodyjack Rachel Summers; and enslaving the souls of all Genosha's dead. A seemingly immortal parasite, Selene set the standard for all future Queens of the Hellfire Club to follow.
  • Shadow King: Amahl Farouk, the Arch-Enemy of Storm, was a powerful mutant who made his living as a crime lord, using children—including Storm—as pickpockets or prostitutes. After being defeated by Charles Xavier and locked in the astral plane, he became far worse. Taking the alias "The Shadow King", Farouk became a being of psychic malice. Not content to remain on the astral plane, Farouk consistently possesses others with psychic energy, and then enacts a game of destroying them mentally. He often forces them to indulge in the sickest desires he can imagine, or that he finds in their subconscious, leaving them aware that they are doing such horrible things, but making them enjoy it. Farouk enjoys psychic torture as a hobby, and seeks to corrupt the hearts and minds of every human he can, this being both an art and enjoyable past time to him. Recently, Farouk was the one to reveal to the young boy who might grow to be Apocalypse that his life was a lie and he was the destined destroyer. Being Farouk, he mocked him the entire time about how his life was a worthless simulation, and showed utter glee in awakening the one to commit genocide on humanity.
  • Reverend William Stryker: Debuting in God Loves, Man Kills, he hatefully persecutes mutantkind, having stabbed his own infant son for being born a mutant and killing his wife for birthing the boy. Founding the "Purifiers", Stryker has them kill any mutants they come across. Kidnapping Charles Xavier to Mind Rape him, Stryker plans to use the psychic mutant to wipe out every other mutant on Earth in the name of his fanatical quest. Temporarily stopping his genocidal crusade, Stryker resumes upon finding the mutant-killing machine, Nimrod, founding a new Purifier group and revealing it to the world through bombing a school bus full of de-powered mutants, killing dozens of innocent children. After manipulating and then killing a young mutant, Stryker launches an all-out assault on the X-Mansion in the hopes of killing all the children living there. Even after his own death, Stryker's brainwashing of his own son breaks the boy into becoming a fanatical, bigoted monster like his father.

Wolverine

  • "Perceptions" arc (March 1991-July 1991, by Todd Mc Farlane et al.): Krahn is a Chief Inspector of the RCMP, as well as a pedophilic Serial Killer who has abducted, raped, and murdered countless young boys throughout British Columbia. When a benevolent Wendigo unearths the remains of one of his victims, Krahn blames the beast for the murder and exacerbates hysteria over it by leaking details of the case to the public, sparking panicked riots and misguided acts of vigilantism that result in the death of at least one innocent hunter. To keep the charade going, Krahn kidnaps and kills another boy, letting dogs gnaw on him in order to make it look like the child was mauled by the Wendigo. Later getting together a posse, Krahn sets out to slay the Wendigo, which will calm the public and allow him to resume molesting and killing children under more optimal conditions.
  • The Founder, the Big Bad of Jason Aaron's 2010-2011 run, is the son of a robber baron and proud of his wicked father's abuse of his workers. After his father was killed by Wolverine, the Founder, seeking vengeance to salve his own twisted ideals, forms a cult, the Red Right Hand, with Wolverine's other enemies, to hunt him down. Selling his soul to a demon lord to damn Wolverine to hell, the Founder then has anyone who was ever kind to Wolverine hunted down and killed. After Wolverine escapes from hell, kills The Founder's minions, the Mongrels, and hunts the Red Right Hand down, he finds the cult has committed suicide. Leaving a tape recording, the Founder reveals the Mongrels were really Wolverine's lost children, as a final mockery.
  • Wolverine: The Best There Is, by Charlie Huston, Juan Jose Ryp, et al.: Winsor, aka Contagion, was born from a Latverian eugenics program. Winsor's body contained every single disease known to man, which he trained himself to be able to release at will. Killing all the other children born from the program, Winsor struck out on his own, acquiring the services of numerous nearly-immortal individuals as both enforcers and test subjects, whom he would infect over and over again with his diseases in order to make them stronger and more deadly. Winsor used his abused son, deformed from exposure to his father's diseases, as bait to acquire Wolverine for his experiments under pretense of wanting to use his research to cure his son's condition, knowing Logan, as a Friend to All Children, would never refuse the offer. Ultimately, however, he revealed his true motive: In making his diseases stronger and stronger he hoped to engineer one that could kill absolutely anything, which he would then unleash on the world and then the entire universe via a stolen spaceship. When his followers ceased being useful, he subjected then to And I Must Scream to ensure they would not rebel. With evil plans unmatched in scale for an Earth-based villain, Contagion more than makes up for his brief tenure in the comics with his cruelty.

Other Earth-616 Characters

    Examples 
  • Age of Apocalypse (originally):
    • Dark Beast is the Evil Doppelgänger of the kind-hearted Henry "Hank" McCoy". Initially the Bastard Understudy of Mr. Sinister, Dark Beast earned a reputation as a sadistic monster in Apocalypse's concentration camps for his cruel experiments which tortured and killed many, giving him the nickname of "Beast", which he liked enough to mutate himself to better fit the moniker. When Dark Beast was brought to the X-Men's world, he set about killing everyone the good Beast cared for and continued his monstrous experiments on innocents. With his most heinous actions being to create a machine that fed off Hank's lifeforce while keeping him in unspeakable agony, in addition to his experiments on children, Dark Beast eventually attempted to foster a war between the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. When exposed and dying from experimenting on himself, Dark Beast attempted to initiate a bomb to take the X-Men with him simply out of spite.
    • Holocaust, also known as Nemesis, is the son of Apocalypse. A sadistic savage who values nothing so much as murder, Holocaust leads the Four Horsemen and gleefully participates in the savage culls, slaughtering entire cities or even nations while savoring a chance to torture his victims when he can or sending them to be broken down and used as raw materials for new Super Soldiers. Planning a crusade beyond anything even his father wishes, Holocaust's fervent wish is to create a world where every living thing perishes.
  • Exiles: King Hyperion (Earth-4023 originally), real name Marcus Milton, is a vicious superhuman from a world that he tried to conquer, resulting in a massive nuclear suicide that left him the only being alive. Later attempting to conquer a new world, he instead allows it to die thanks to that world's Magneto's actions, betraying heroes and slipping through new worlds where he kills countless beings to conquer their lands. Arriving in a parallel New York, he tries to kill one hundred hostages after murdering all the heroes therein, betraying and slaughtering his own if it suits him. Returning at the Timebreakers' headquarters, Hyperion plans to conquer the multiverse, no matter how many he has to kill along the way.
  • Generation X: Johnston Coffin, from 2000's "Correction" storyline, is wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D. for crimes against humanity, but instead somehow finds himself employed by the US Government. With the government's blessing, he builds a Hellhole Prison where he "fixes" disobedient teenagers, many of which had only said or thought something disobedient. He also has his "Special Children"—kids from his first prison in the '70s, whom he's wired up to huge cyborg bodies and uses as security. They've been that way so long—it's implied in perpetual agony—that their bodies have actually begun to rot. He also has half a human mounted on his wall, is implied to be a rapist, and carries around the skull of a child he shot in the head everywhere he goes.
  • Uncanny X-Force: Harry Pizer, also known as "the Skinless Man", was once a barrister who used his ability to stretch and contort his body to cheat and win cases. When contracted by the Weapon Plus program to fight the Russians during the Cold War, Pizer, designated Weapon III, giddily used the opportunity to slaughter countless enemy troops, deeming it a righteous cause all the while before murdering his way into Otherworld to steal the powerful Orb. After being skinned alive due to Fantomex's interference in his plans, Pizer only got worse as he assisted in orchestrating a bloody war against all of Otherworld, and later attempted to torture Fantomex and Psylocke to death in front of each other, starting by slicing Fantomex's face off. Eventually joining Daken's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants after murdering his ex-wife and her new husband, Pizer gleefully takes part in their plans to psychologically torture the young boy Evan into becoming the next Apocalypse, even tricking the boy into thinking his father figure Fantomex is alive only to reveal Pizer murdered him. When confronted by a vengeful Evan, Pizer offers him one final chance to revive Fantomex, only to swipe the offer away, simply laughing at the boy's gullibility. Pizer stands out even among the Brotherhood due to the fact that, while all the other members have alternative motives for trying to create a new Apocalypse, Pizer just wants the boy to kill millions of people as a final spiteful move towards Fantomex.
  • X-23: Innocence Lost & Target: X: Dr. Zander Rice, one of the lead scientists of Weapon X's X-23 project, has X-23 kept in a padded room except during training sessions or assassination missions, and sadistically torturing her at the age of seven. He develops a pheromone "trigger" to activate her berserker rage, using it to get X-23 to kill her martial arts instructor, and leaves her behind on a mission to be killed after he murders the other members of the team. After X-23 shows back up alive, Rice then manipulates the head of the X-23 project—who had raised Rice after his father's death—into granting Rice control of the project, at which point Rice then sends X-23 to kill the man, his wife, and son—even though Rice knows the boy is his own son. Upon taking over the project, he begins the development of embryos X-24 through X-50, which he intends to sell to the highest bidders, and then taints the one remaining person X-23 cares about, the project scientist who was her surrogate mother, with the "trigger", which causes X-23 to fatally injure the woman. Rice's motive is that he ostensibly wants revenge for his father, who worked on the original—Wolverine—Weapon X project and was killed by Wolverine when he escaped, and X-23 is Logan's genetic double; he really just wants to avenge his own ego.

Other Continuities

    Examples 
  • Age of Apocalypse: Apocalypse himself, En Sabah Nur, led a genocidal crusade that led to the deaths of most of the world's population. Establishing a nightmarish regime with regular cullings of millions of innocents, Apocalypse allows "breeding pens" to produce humans as raw materials for his twisted scientists' experiments. Going against any truces, Apocalypse intends to nuke the entire world to leave a world where only the strong survive.
  • Askani World (Earth-4935) has En Sabah Nur and his equally evil daughter:
    • The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, by Scott Lobdell et al.: Apocalypse is an incarnation of Earth-616 Apocalypse two thousand years in the future. His wickedness not dulled over two millennia, he has taken over much of North America and implemented his Social Darwinism beliefs. Perhaps his most vile crime was infecting an infant Nathan Summers, the future Cable, with a Techno-Organic virus two thousand years prior, just to have Nathan prove he was strong enough to eventually serve as Apocalypse's vessel, as the latter is burning through his bodies, and so has to take new ones more often. Even after finding out that Stryfe, a clone of Nathan, isn't a mutant, Apocalypse still tries to bodyjack the boy. Finally, Apocalypse is conducting research on a virus similar in composition to the Legacy Virus.
    • X-Men: Phoenix, by John Francis Moore et al. note : High Councilor/High Prelate Diamanda Nero oversees Apocalypse's empire, decades before the majority of the above story, while the latter constructs his newest armor to house his body. A psychotic sadist who is introduced fatally, and gleefully, torturing a victim for information, Nero has killed many mutants, at which point she absorbs their powers. At one point, she tests a plague on an enclave, resulting in over 2,700 deaths. Using this knowledge, she creates Plague, basically a zombie turned into a Walking Wasteland. Her other crimes include more brutal torture and having her forces brutally kill a group assisting those fighting Apocalypse's rule.
  • Excalibur: Necrom, from issues 45-50, an alien scientist who refashioned himself as the tyrant of an alternate Earth, seeks to harness the energy matrix caused by the alignment of all the infinite worlds of existence. In pursuit of this, Necrom leaves his planet to die after draining the life from it–-previously having a city of thousands massacred to wipe out the royal family and their loyalists, and murdering the Earth's version of Excalibur to turn them into his mindless undead servants–-and is pursued by the Barbarian Hero Kylun, whose Love Interest he spitefully murders. Necrom further massacres a unit of soldiers sent to investigate him solely for the thrill of it, subjecting the heroes to awful Mind Rape, before revealing his ultimate intentions to harvest the energy matrix by smashing down all the worlds in the multiverse into one, eradicating all life in reality for the sake of godhood.
  • House of M: In this timeline, before Magneto takes over the world, Dr. Bolivar Trask is the Vice President under Richard Nixon. Trask is also the director of the Sentinel program and a major player in an anti-mutant conspiracy. Trask has set up forced labor camps across America that use mutants as slave labor. When Magneto assassinates anti-mutant activist Graydon Creed, Trask uses that as an excuse to send a strike force to Genosha to kill Magneto. Under Trask's orders, Bucky Barnes threatens to blow up key facilities in Genosha, including a hospital, if Magneto does not let Bucky kill him; Bucky kills Charles Xavier in the process. After killing Bucky, Magneto goes to the White House for revenge. Trask uses this as an excuse to launch a nuclear strike against Genosha. When Blackbolt disables the nuclear missiles heading to Genosha, Trask considers nuking the Inhumans' city of Attilan as well. When confronted by Magneto, Trask sends his special Theta Sentinels to kill Magneto, not caring whether he or his SHIELD subordinates die in the process.
  • The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans, by Chris Claremont et al.: Darkseid himself, seeking to expand his cosmic empire, seeks the power of Jean Grey for his own ends. Having Deathstroke and Ravok the Ravager act as proxies down on Earth, Darkseid eventually rallies up both the X-Men and the Teen Titans-–coldly vaporizing Ravok for failure with his Omega Beams right after—and uses their memories to painfully reawaken Jean Grey as the Dark Phoenix. With her power, Darkseid seeks to turn Earth into a second Apokolips, destroying most life on it, before repeating the process with every planet in the universe until he rules all.
  • Wolverine MAX: Victor Creed, the first Arc Villain, very much resembles his canon counterpart in being a sadistic beast of a man obsessed with killing. Having spent his near-immortal life killing everything in his path, notably a peaceful monk monastery where he drank the blood of the head monk, Creed eventually carved a path to become second-in-command of the Yakuza. Using his position to search for the Yashida clan's prized sword, Creed convinces a woman to suicide bomb a jumbo plane, killing nearly 400 people, in exchange for Creed giving her family a good life, something Creed was lying about. Confronting Logan after needlessly decapitating two cops, Creed mutilates Logan and proclaims his intent to begin downing numerous airplanes over and over again until he finds the Yashida sword, and reveals he plans to murder the head of the Yakuza and take over first the organization, then the entirety of Japan.
  • X-Men 2099: Brimstone Love is a mutant with a demonic appearance and a personality to match. He runs a group called the Theatre of Pain, which kidnaps people, tortures them, and sells the torture footage to rich people for a profit. Brimstone claims to be an artist, but is really driven by sadism and greed. Brimstone enslaves a mutant named La Lunática, using a Shock Collar to control her, and forces her to Mind Rape the Theatre of Pain's prisoners. Brimstone kidnaps some of the X-Men and has La Lunática torture them. During a fight with the X-Men, La Lunática manages to get free of her collar and escapes the Theatre. Brimstone tries to recapture her, put quickly becomes interested in the X-Men's leader, Xi'an, who is dealing with a Split Personality. When Xi'an's evil personality takes over, Brimstone convinces him to join the Theatre of Pain, and mentally tortures Xi'an in an attempt to destroy his good side. Brimstone and the now-evil Xi'an quickly devise a scheme to take the Theatre of Pain to new heights. Brimstone and Xi'an have of one of the X-Men's foes, Master Zhao, hooked to a giant machine, which uses Zhao's Psychic Powers to torture over a thousand people at once.
  • X-Men Fairy Tales: The Witch, from issue #3 ("To Die in Dreams"), is a powerful being who terrorized the lands before people managed to kill her. Resurrecting herself in the form of Burning Phoenix, the Witch possessed the red-haired princess, using her as a host to try to conquer the kingdom and slaughter countless people who tried to stop her. After the knight, who was in love with the princess, managed to defeat the Witch, the latter fall in eternal sleep along with the princess. When she managed to awaken within the princess many years later, after the princess was found by the Tailor, the Witch escaped, promising to "double her wrath upon the land". Killing the former knight who previously imprisoned her, the Witch desired to kill the Tailor as well, resulting in the princess convincing the Tailor to kill her, to end her threat once and for all.

Some more clean-up for NeverLiveItDown.Star Wars that I discussed with Star Wars clean-up thread. The following entries I'm requesting be cut because they focus on either the reputation of a work or the creators (when NLID is supposed to be for things the characters have done).

The Phantom Menace

  • Between Jar Jar Binks and Jake Lloyd, the acting, and much of the writing, this theatrical film certainly serves as this to George Lucas and the Star Wars brand as a whole in establishing the reputation of the Prequel Trilogy.
    • NOTE: The sub-bullet for this entry about Jar-Jar (which I have not listed here) can stay, since it focuses on Jar-Jar's reputation as a character.
  • Jake Lloyd, who played a young Anakin Skywalker, will never live down his role in the theatrical film; the kid got constant ridicule from fanboys who hated the film, belittled by critics for his not so impressive acting skills, and was constantly bullied at school by other children for his involvement with the movie. The downward spiral caused the actor to destroy all Star Wars memorabilia he owned, and he refused to talk about it for some time. However, he's mellowed out since then and he's confirmed that, contrary to popular belief, he doesn't hate Star Wars for all the crap he was put through by the Prequel Trilogy-hating fanboys.
  • The theatrical film has only two scenes involving Toilet Humour, both involving Jar Jar. Unfortunately, fans tend to remember these the most when discussing the theatrical film's comic relief.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

  • The amount of Jar Jar-centric episodes early on, and the Artoo & Threepio-centric episodes.
  • "Corruption" (the episode that features the characters repeatedly saying the word "corruption" in addition to featuring poisonous Mandalorian tea) has received flak from some fans.

Expanded Universe

  • Disney buying the Star Wars IP and the consequent misblaming of Disney for the Continuity Reboot out of belief that Disney did it because they can (which was actually by Lucasfilm in order to create the Sequel Trilogy—incidentally, the same number of people who misblame Disney seem to also dislike the Sequel Trilogy).
  • Karen Traviss's responses to criticism and her Author Tract about her love for Mandalorians & immense dislike of Jedi except for her own Jedi characters, as well as how she was apparently uncooperative with other authors and refused to read other Star Wars works besides her own.
    • Traviss killing off Mara Jade in Legacy of the Force series, reportedly because of her refusal to cooperate with the other authors on the series. According to Timothy Zahn, he wasn't happy to hear that the character he created was being killed off to be Stuffed in the Fridge but couldn't do anything to stop it by the time he found out.
  • Among gamers in general, Kinect Star Wars has a reputation of being the Genre-Killer for motion-controlled games, for causing most gamers to give up on the notion of motion control ever being useful for anything more than cheap shovelware. Among Star Wars fans, however, the game is far more notorious for its infamously cheesy covers of well-known pop songs, rewritten to incorporate Star Wars characters and lore in seemingly the clunkiest way possible.

Can someone update the "Memetic Mutation" explanation for The Last of Us Part II?

"Given how many pallet puzzles in the first game revolved around Ellie not being able to swim, fans will often joke that the most important question of Part II is whether or not she can swim now."

From that to this.

"Given how many pallet puzzles in the first game revolved around Ellie not being able to swim, fans would often joke that the most important question of Part II is whether or not she can swim now. As revealed in the May 28th gameplay demo, the answer is yes, she can swim now."

Please replace the contents at Top Cow Productions with the contents at Top Cow CM Reformat and Cut List the Sandbox.

Comic Books: A to H:

  • Bushido: The Way of the Warrior, by Rob Levin, Jessada Sutthi, et al.: The unnamed vampire lord is the leader of a clan of ravenous vampires who attack Japan. Initiating bloody massacres all over the island and ordering the attempted assassination of the Shogun through his right-hand Raven, the vampire lord attacks the wedding between the Shogun's daughter Mitsuko and Orochi, aiming to slaughter everyone there. After turning Orochi into a vampire, the vampire lord seduces Orochi into embracing his hunger and bringing Mitsuko to him to barter with her life in exchange for Japan. The vampire lord's ultimate goal, after reducing the population of Japan into cattle for him and his clan to hunt to their heart's content, is to sail out and devour all humanity, establishing an immortal vampiric empire with himself as its epicenter.
  • Cursed, by Fiona Avery et al.: Victor Hahn is a director of museum of antiquities in Germany and a former worshipper of Osiris. After Osiris didn't choose him as "chosen protector", he swears to enslave Osiris as revenge. He decided to start by murdering dozens of people at night, trapping them in the status between life and death and making them his slaves through an ancient Egyptian ritual. When he discovered Shan Beaumont, a reporter who was chosen by gods instead of him, he decided to kill her through Egyptian ritual, thus making her "the Door" to Afterlife, so that he could summon and enslave Osiris. Right before the ritual, he killed whole group of tourists in his museum.
  • Dragon Prince, by Ron Marz et al.: Madigan, the Suzerain of the Magi, helped to continue the genocide of the dragon species, largely to seize their blood and scales for his own power. When his daughter fell in love with the dragon Wei, Madigan kept Wei as a tormented captive for the entirety of his grandson Aaron's life to harvest his power. Capturing Aaron, Madigan now intends to murder Wei and use the half-dragon Aaron in his place to eternally harvest his power. Upon Wei's freedom, Madigan orders his own grandson and daughter killed, even turning himself into a dragon in a fanatic desire to destroy them all.
  • "Eden-verse" features these two corrupt Senators:
    • Think Tank: Senator Mitchell is the head of the Congressional Armed Services Committee and the one behind the funding of many illegal projects of Dr. David Loren. Ordering the creation of the Omega Project, a deadly flesh-eating virus which targeted specific DNA, Mitchell orders the US military to bomb a small Iranian science base as a distraction, while he secretly attacks Su Cheng and his family with the "Omega project" from afar. Killing Su Cheng and his entire family, Mitchell orders his co-conspirator General Diana Clarkson to kill Colonel Harrison, when Harrison was close to discovering the truth behind Su Cheng's death. Later on, conspiring with Chinese General Shangjong, of the People's Liberation Army to orchestrate a war between China and Taiwan for profit, Mitchell ordered his mercenary Bill to impersonate a dangerous Taiwan terrorist Tsang Ong, bomb a Chinese scientific facility and threaten to use the Omega Project on China as a provocation. The resulting war claimed the lives of hundreds of people, while Mitchell poisoned the President of the United States with the Omega Project, making him die on national TV, and then injected Loren with modified "Omega project", so that he can manipulate him to travel to Shanghai University, to kill hundreds of the brightest of minds of China, solely to keep America's supremacy in the world.
    • The Tithe: Senator Owen McKitrick is a racist politician who constantly tries to spread his bigoted policies to the public. Wanting to become President, Owen hired a gang of extremists and has them manipulate several Arabian people to be suicide bombers, forcing them to attack various heavily populated Christian places, resulting in the deaths of thousands. After each bombing, Owen orders his mercenaries to impersonate Arabian terrorists on camera and put these videos on the news, so that he can use this as proof of the "savagery" of the Muslim population. As his actions result in more and more hate crimes against American Muslims, Owen's popularity rises. Succeeding in becoming President, Owen spreads his corruption all over the country.

Comic Books: I to Z:

  • Impaler, by William Harms et al.: The Great Beast is a monstrous creature of darkness that appeared during the reign of Vlad the Impaler, having his armies and countless more innocents slaughtered by its shadow vampires. Reappearing centuries after its initial defeat, the Beast disperses its shadow vampires into New York, having them brutally massacre innocents by increasingly large numbers until the entire city is nothing more than an abattoir of torn-apart corpses. Doing the same to Boston and Philadelphia, the Beast intends to send its ravenous creatures across the entire country and eventually to butcher everything on the planet.
  • Madame Mirage: Abraham Coyle is the leader of the corrupt company Aggressive Solutions Int., or ASI. Finding out about the Ellison Project, a cloaking device which was developed by the sisters Angela and Harper Temple, he decided to order their deaths and take their technology away from them. As the mysterious Madame Mirage started hunting him down, he repeatedly tried to have her killed, while also testing his new technology, developed from the Ellison Project, by ordering his henchman to sneak a bomb into populated place and blow it up, resulting in at least 15 deaths. During the final battle with Madame Mirage—revealed to be the Harper Temple, who survived the murder attempt—Coyle reveals that he plans to use his new technology to murder the leadership of all major governments around the world and take control himself.
  • Rise of the Magi, by Marc Silvestri et al.: Commander Gore is a high-ranking guard of the orb that contains all magic in the universe. Desiring more than being just a guard, Gore sells out the magical essence of that orb to the Trolls. As guards caught him at the scene of the crime, Gore orders his monster minions to massacre them. When Asa Stonethrow came in possession of stolen magical essence and fled to Earth, Gore orders his minions to chase him there, where his monsters end up killing police officers who tried to arrest them. Gore's crimes resulted in a flying castle, where the orb was guarded, to start falling apart, killing dozens of people. Later on, Gore started selling weapons from Earth, like guns, to the Trolls, as they prepare to wage war on his people.
  • Son of Merlin, by Robert Place Napton, Zid, et al.: Morgana le/la Fay, Merlin's evil cousin, is a cruel sorceress turned CEO of La Fey Industries. Seeking to claim Merlin's diary and the Stone of Giramphiel, Morgana plans to use their powers to awaken the Keres, demons that, once unleashed, will devour all of humanity and plunge the world into an eternal darkness. Murdering Merlin for his diary, Morgana sends her Black Knights to slay Merlin's son Simon for the diary, snapping one's neck for failing to kill him. Using Simon to help her unleash the Keres upon the Earth in return for his safety, Morgana still kills him anyway, knowing that he'll just betray her.
  • Tracker, by Jonathan Lincoln, et al.: "Herod" is a sadistic werewolf Serial Killer with a sick love for murdering large crowds of people, leaving behind bible pages on the corpses. Having killed for 60 years and amassed a body count in the triple digits, Herod prefers traveling around the world and having others blamed for his murders, while also killing other werewolves and drinking their blood to continue living every 2-3 years. Seeking Charles Langdon, he kills his mother and decapitates him, sending the head to Special Agent Alex when he's on his tail after getting bitten by Herod. After Alex prevented him from killing the child werewolf Jack, Herod kills some police officers protecting his girlfriend Tory and kidnaps her, threatening her life should Alex not hand Jack over.

Please put this on Anime & Manga:

  • Tiger & Bunny: Yuri Petrov, "Lunatic," is a vigilante NEXT who forgoes any attempts at fame or upholding of morality, to instead dish out justice as he sees fit. Raised by an abusive superhero father, Lunatic came to despise all forms of evil in the world, believing the most sure path to safety and peace was the extermination of those who do wrong, and goes about executing and assassinating countless rapists and murderers, all while keeping up the guise of the charming judge of the city of Sternbild. As Lunatic, he gains immense popularity for his effectiveness, and his code of honor leads to him going so far as to save the life of his enemy Kotetsu, noting it wouldn't be just for a hero like him to be killed. Lunatic walks away from the story as dangerous and powerful as ever, showing no signs of being stopped by anyone in his self-perceived righteous crusade.

On Magnificent Bastard, could you add a pothole to Erwin Rommel in the page quote? I was the one who removed it in the first place, as I did not know that a pothole could be in a page quote only if a person or character is referenced directly.

[up] From What to Put at the Top of a Page, emphasis mine:

Page quotes should not have any trope potholes in them, although it is okay to link to a work or genre which is referenced directly. Quotes do not have potholes in their original medium, and extraneous Blue Links above the trope description just distract the reader. If potholes are not necessary to understand the quote, then they are redundant. If potholes give context that is needed to understand the quote, then the quote does not truly illustrate the trope.
