Dragon Ball

    Examples 
  • Dragon Ball C (link): Cell, after defeating Gohan, decides to spare Earth and the heroes because he considers them to be a useful training tool. Then, Cell proceeds to ravage the universe searching for strong enemies to challenge or absorb to reach "perfection". When the events of the Buu Saga happen, Cell teleports back to Earth to challenge Super Buu and Gotenks, eventually finding a interesting challenge with the arrival of Gohan. When Gohan proves to be unable to win, Cell kills Goten and Piccolo just to enrage Gohan, hoping to force him to have a powerup like in the Cell Games, only to kill Gohan when he proves being unable to repeat the miracle. When Goku and Vegeta arrive to fight him, Cell kills them, causing Vegeta to stop existing. Seeing the Dragon Balls as the only way to have a real challenge, Cell keeps Dende hostage for years and returns to his murderous travel across the universe, destroying the remnants of Freeza's army and exterminating the peaceful Freeza species alongside many others before returning to Earth to force Dende to resurrect his friends so he can kill them again to satiate his boredom.
  • Dragon Ball Super: Last Judgement (link): Goku Black is a version of Zamasu who switched bodies with Son Goku before teaming up with his future incarnation to cleanse the multiverse of mortals. Destroying all life in Universe 7, Goku Black and Future Zamasu travel to Universe 6 and kill the Supreme Kai. Goku Black travels to planet Sadala and destroys the capital before massacring the army sent to stop him. When challenged by Cabba, Kale and Caulifla, Goku Black sadistically toys with them and kills Supreme Kai's attendant when he assists them. Successfully killing the trio, Black looks forward to killing all mortals in Universe 6.
  • Dragon Ball Z Script Fic by Luis Filipe (link): Frieza, like in canon, is the tyrant in charge of the Galactic Frieza Army. Out of fear that the Saiyan race would one day produce a warrior strong enough to overthrow him, Frieza leads an assault on their homeworld, before obliterating it himself. Wanting to use the Dragon Balls to become immortal, Frieza holds a Namekian village hostage to get information out of them and is told that they were sent to Earth; upon arriving there, he has his army destroy an entire city. Seemingly defeated by Goku and friends, Frieza catches them by surprise by killing Krillin and, after being bested yet again by Goku, attempts to destroy the planet out of spite.
  • Dynasty: Cell takes his canonical crimes and adds to them here. After Piccolo fights him and he escapes, Cell decides to manipulate a little girl into leading him to a town's inhabitants, and he absorbs them before her eyes, traumatizing her. Later, Cell holds the infant Trunks hostage in an attempt to get what he wants. This works, and Cell reaches his Perfect form. At the Cell Games, Cell declares his intentions to destroy the planet and beyond, brutally killing many around him and ruining multiple lives for his sick amusement, making sure Gohan is Forced to Watch him kill Bardock.
  • The Fall of Lord Frieza:
    • King Cold proves to be far worse than he is in canon. The tyrannical head of the Planet Trade Organization, King Cold becomes furious when he finds his wife attempting to convince Frieza not to follow in his footsteps. As a result, he brutally beat her before vaporizing her body, lying to Frieza and Cooler that she died of illness. He then intentionally molded Frieza and Cooler into becoming the cruel tyrants they grew up to be, repeatedly beating them in the process. Upon finding out about Frieza's defeat at the hands of Goku, King Cold is angered at the blow to his family's pride, and attempts to destroy Earth out of spite alongside Cooler. When he escapes from hell, King Cold decides to wipe out all other races in the galaxy before being stopped by a redeemed Frieza. When Frieza challenges King Cold, Cold attempts to kill Frieza without remorse.
    • General Kanchapp is a traitorous general within the Planet Trade Organization. Wishing to take over the empire, Kanchapp convinces most of the army to aid him in a rebellion against the Cold family, falsely promising them the liberation of their races while intending to be just as cruel a tyrant as Cold and his sons were. When he finds out about the life-sapping Tree of Might, Kanchapp murders a group of space pirates for the tree, intending to have it spread across the galaxy, knowing that this will wipe out life on countless planets. Kanchapp eventually leads an assault on Frieza's home planet, Arcos, with the intent of killing Frieza and all those who remain loyal to him. During Kanchapp's fight with Frieza, he kills several of his own men before destroying Arcos right in front of Frieza just to hurt hum. Even when defeated, Kanchapp mocks Frieza before dying by saying that Frieza lost everything important to him.
  • In Pursuit Of Vengeance (link): Frieza proves to be just as vile as his canon counterpart. Having previously wiped out almost all of the Saiyan race out of fear of rebellion, Frieza later finds out that Raditz purged everybody on Earth and forcibly brought Goku to the organization. Viewing Goku as an opportunity to tear down Vegeta's intended rebellion before it starts, Frieza tricks Goku into purging an innocent alien race before agreeing to train Goku for the sake of having him kill Raditz, repeatedly bringing Goku to near death in the process. To keep Goku in line after realizing that torture won't break him, Frieza kills innocents right in front of Goku to punish him, such as killing a loyal scientist of his just because Goku was forming a bond with him, and destroying a planet that Goku refused to purge, mocking Goku for being the cause of it. Upon finding out that Goku, Vegeta, and Nappa have went to Namek underneath his nose to betray Frieza, he orders the Ginyu Force to kill Nappa, bring Goku and Vegeta to him, and to wipe out every Namekian for "harboring traitors". When Frieza finally confronts Goku and Vegeta, Frieza gleefully tortures both of them to the brink in death, telling Goku that after he kills the Saiyans, he'll purge all of the revived Earthlings just to spite him.
  • Masako X - Dragon Ball What-If:
    • What If Gine Went With Goku to Earth? (written fanfic): Frieza, as vile as in canon, is a galactic tyrant who has conquered and slaughtered all life on multiple planets in order to sell them to other races on the galactic market. If Frieza has no interest in ruling a particular conquered planet and believes it won't net him a good price, he destroys it entirely. Among these many annihilated planets is the Planet of the Saiyans. During the story, Frieza goes to Namek to come after Vegeta, ordering his troops to kill everyone in the village and planning to take Gine, Goku's mother. When his troops fail, Frieza kills one of them to force the others to continue fighting. He gets into a fight with Gine and overpowers her, delivering a brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
    • What If Zamasu Did Nothing Wrong? (link): Goku Black and Future Zamasu from an Alternate Timeline invade the timeline of the Present Zamasu, where they are disgusted that a version of themselves had abandoned the "Zero Mortals Plan" and tried to help the mortals become civilized. Goku Black and Future Zamasu kill Gowasu, in the hopes that Present Zamasu and Decraf would blame each other and then turn on one another. They then travel to Barbari where they decide to punish Present Zamasu by "culling [his] pets", proceeding to wipe out all life on the planet that Zamasu had helped, choosing this place to begin their genocide of all mortals in the entire multiverse. When opposed by Present Zamasu and Decraf, Goku Black and Future Zamasu offers this Zamasu a We Can Rule Together scenario, and when that is rejected attempt to murder Present Zamasu and Decraf for daring to resist.
    • What If Freeza Turned Good? (link): Trogen is the third son of King Cold, created after the latter deemed his first two sons to be failures. Proving himself to be an impulsive psychopath, Trogen murders his father in front of Cooler for taking too long to find Freeza. When it's believed that Freeza is on the planet Yardrat, Trogen goes against the plan to land and search for his brother and instead gleefully blows the entire planet up. Taking over his father's mantle, Trogen becomes a cruel and despotic ruler who lets his empire fall to ruins. Learning that Freeza is now on Earth, Trogen attempts to kill Vegeta for outliving his usefulness and chains Cooler up without sustenance. On Earth, he orders his men to kill all of the Z Fighters, but after years of abuse, they refuse. In response, Trogen uses his eye beams to bisect his entire present army, numbering in the thousands. After threatening to blow up Earth if anyone interrupts his fight with Freeza, Trogen taunts his brother over the destruction of Yardrat. A lunatic to the end, Trogen feels elated even at his own death.
  • New Hope (link): Cell, after killing Gohan and other heroes, let Krillin live in fear of his return before wiping out West City along with the newborn Trunks. Then, Cell wreaks havoc the universe looking for worthy opponents, slaughtering billions. When he returns 13 years later, Cell tries to destroy any planet with Dragon Balls to secure his reign of terror.
  • Perfect Future (link): The Future incarnation of Cell becomes far more of a threat than his canon counterpart. Having absorbed thousands of civilians who survived the rampages of Future 17 and 18 prior to the story, Cell finds out about Majin Buu from the Supreme Kai. After achieving his Perfect Form, Cell goes to Babidi, offering to help revive Majin Buu in exchange for having the opportunity to fight it, seeking a challenge. Cell creates several Cell Juniors to launch an attack on New Namek, intending to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to speed up Buu's revival. When Future Trunks arrives to stop him, Cell kills one of his own spawn due to them struggling against Future Trunks, and when he himself is defeated by Trunks, Cell destroys all of New Namek after regenerating. To spite Trunks, Cell tracks down and murders Bulma, mocking Trunks upon returning to Earth. Narrowly escaping death after Buu absorbs Trunks to power up, Cell invades a planet owned by Cooler, and has his Cell Juniors torture resident and solider alike to draw Cooler out. Cell forces all members of the organization to come to Earth to help him kill Buu under threat of death, and after Buu is finally killed, Cell wipes out all of Earth's survivors and Cooler's men by destroying the planet. After appreciating the planet's destruction, Cell goes on to terrorize the rest of the universe.
  • Rage: Cell, after being resurrected by Beerus in order to awaken Gohan's hidden potential, kidnaps the latter's wife and daughter in order to lure Gohan into a fight. Cell strangles Videl in front of Gohan before vaporising the infant Pan just to spite Gohan. During the battle with the Z-Fighters, Cell constantly mocks them about killing Videl and Pan, taking his time to remind Gohan of the people he couldn't save during the Cell Games, before trying twice to blow up Earth.
  • Rise (link): Cell, much like in canon, creates several Cell Jrs to torture the Z-Fighters to goad Gohan, into unleashing his true power and kills Android 16 right in front of Gohan. When Gohan still refuses to fight, the enraged Cell orders the Cell Jrs to torture Gohan to death. When Goku attempts to intervene, Cell makes Goku watch his son get killed, and later mocks Goku for causing Gohan's death. Upon regenerating after Vegeta seemingly kills him, Cell attempts to wipe out the solar system in one attack, intending to terrorize the rest of the universe afterwards.

Five Nights at Freddy's

    Examples 
  • Four Games, One Story; Six Nights, One Horror (link): Dave Miller, this time an original character instead of an alias used by William Afton, is even more evil than the Purple Guy himself. A pedophile, Dave repeatedly raped the eight-year-old Charlotte Emily, constantly threatening her that if anyone finds out, no one will ever see her again. One day, Dave strangled her to death and ditched her body in an alley near Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. With his actions causing Henry's Sanity Slippage and Cassidy's fear of the animatronics, even William considered Dave to be a monster.
  • Happiest Day (link): The "Purple Guy" is a thuggish, smug representative of an unseen company trying to buy Freddy Fazbear's pizza. After the original owner refuses to sell, no matter how much money he offered, the Purple Guy murdered a young boy outside of the restaurant; the controversy destroyed the owner's reputation and forced him to sell the pizzeria. Becoming the new manager, the Purple Guy grew a taste for killing; one night when 5 kids were having a birthday party at Freddy's unsupervised, the Purple Guy donned his "Spring Bonnie" outfit and cheerfully slaughtered them all.
  • Hidden Lore (link): Peter was a member of Fazbear Management. He set about murdering children, believing that murdering them and sealing their souls into the animatronics would improve business. He murders a girl after she and her friends infiltrated the pizzeria, and he pins the blame on a janitor. He disguised himself as Golden Freddy, and he lured a young boy into the back, murdered him, and imprisoned his soul inside the Puppet. Later on, he locks a repairman in the pizzeria and he leaves him to the mercy of the animatronics as a means of covering his tracks. When he was confronted by the spirits of the children that he had murdered, he mocked them for being stupid enough to follow him, and that he would see them in hell.
  • Mike's New Ghostly Family: William Afton is the man responsible for the entire Fazbear tragedy. Starting his crimes by creating Funtime animatronics to kill children in his stead, William inadvertently allowed Elizabeth to get killed by Circus Baby, her soul imprisoned inside an animatronic. Abandoning her to her fate, William kills his friend's daughter Charlie and five more children to subject them to the same fate. A horrible parent, William lets Evan suffer under Michael's abuse before finishing him off by unplugging his life support when Michael's prank severely injures him, and tries to corrupt Elizabeth into following in his murderous footsteps. Condemned to eternal suffering in Hell, William makes a wager with Nightmare to break apart the family his ghostly victims formed with Mike Schmidt out of spite. When that fails, William develops a violent grudge against Mike, teaming up with another demon lord to steal younger Nightmares' essences to become Nightmare Springtrap and escape from Hell to subject Mike to a Fate Worse than Death, trying to end ghostly Elizabeth's unlife when she turns on him in favor of Mike. Disgusting even his demonic tormentors, William Afton proves himself to be a monster in life, death, and damnation.
  • Save Them (link): William Afton is the former co-owner of Fredbear's Family Diner who grew envious of his partner, Henry, driving him to kill Henry's daughter, Charlie, and 5 other kids just to spite him, driving Henry to suicide. Years later, upon encountering the sole survivor of the killings, Mike Schmidt, he decides to kill him to tie up any loose ends. Killing Mike's parents just to send a message, he later kidnaps him and brings him to Fredbear's, where he reveals that he stole the corpses of Henry and Charlie to hide any evidence, as well as to spite him, shooting Mike In the Back before fleeing. Returning to the pizzeria, he forces the ghost children to do his bidding, putting them in unending agony, and breaks Henry's promise to not hurt Mike and Jeremy, having the spirits try and kill them, with Jeremy dying in the process. He then attempts to kill Mike as he's mourning Jeremy.
  • Something Always Remains: The Smiling Man, later revealed to be Greg Mortman, was a family friend of Bonnie Wickes, whom he felt entitled to have as his wife. To pursue a relationship, he murders her husband, Freddy, by burying him alive. When Bonnie still rejects him, he kills her by tampering with the locks of the Spring Bonnie suit she wore when working at Fredbear's Family Diner, painfully crushing her to death. When he later finds her niece, Vesper, suffocating in the Puppet's box, he leaves her to die out of spite for Bonnie. Dedicating himself to ruining Bonnie's legacy by tarnishing her restaurant's reputation, he murders four children at their new establishment. To frame him for the crimes, he also kills Jeremy Fitzgerald by stuffing him in the Spring Bonnie suit. Returning years later to wipe out any evidence of his crimes, he tries to kill Mike Schmidt and anyone else aware of his past, sadistically bragging that he'll murder Mike by stuffing him into the Spring Bonnie suit. Even when he's confronted by the spirits of his victims, the Smiling Man remains unrepentant of his crimes, even trying to turn the animatronics on Mike one more time.
  • Soul Tetralogy (link): Both sides of the Big Bad Duumvirate are equally evil:
    • Scott is a Serial Killer who kills people because he can. In Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, Scott would use the Golden Freddy costume to lure five children to the backstage, where he would kill all but one of them, who managed to get away while Scott was busy cutting off one of his victims' body parts. When the Marionette tricks the four children into haunting the Freddy's animatronics, Scott would use chips containing viruses that make them aggressive at night to kill night guards, all while posing as the "Phone Guy", with implications he purposefully gave the guards bad hints to get them killed. Coming Back from the Dead as Springtrap, Scott would kill Mikayla "Mike" Schmidt, the sole survivor of his killings, by trapping her in the Golden Freddy costume and causing a springlock failure. A spiteful man who admits he loves chaos and destruction, his final act before eternal damnation in Hell was trying to stop Mike's son from saving his mother and allowing her to move on to Heaven.
    • The Marionette was hit with Adaptational Villainy. Seeking to have a "family" made of minions and puppets, the Marionette teams up with Scott to kill five children, trap their souls inside the animatronics, and brainwash them with a virus. Using this virus, the Marionette would use the animatronics as killing machines, having them hunt for night guards for an entire decade. Alongside this, when the animatronics befriended Jeremy Fitzgerald, the Marionette made Foxy hallucinate and think Jeremy is Scott, causing the robot to bite off the man's frontal lobe. When Mikayla "Mike" Schmidt is hired as the night guard at Freddy's, the Marionette would try to make the robots kill their best friend—and in Foxy's case, own sister—to stop her from freeing their spirits. Twenty years later, upon Mike's death and resurrection, the Marionette would try to kill her teenage son Robby II, brainwashing the animatronics—including Mike—once again to do so.
  • World fanfic Enter the Nightmare Realm (link): The Nightmarionne was The Dragon to Lord Nightmare and the Evil Twin of the Puppet. Planning to turn the living realm into his own nightmare realm, he offers Springtrap a deal: Allow his child to be used as a Living Battery, or have him rot in "Down Below", with Springtrap choosing the former, with the child later describing it as having never-ending nightmares. After the Fazbear Gang defeats Nightmare, Nightmarionne ambushes them, brutally mangling them and leaving them to die in the snowy mountains, later sending his minions to finish them off. Taking advantage of Nightmare's weakened state, Nightmarionne kills him, taking his soul and lying to the others about what happened to them, becoming their leader in the process. Later, during the final battle, Nightmarionne taunts the puppet with mocking hallucinations, tricking her into brutalizing the Phantoms, and attempts to dispose of them. Finally, when the Nightmares agree to a peace treaty, Nightmarionne absorbs all the Nightmares souls, kills Springtrap, mortally wounds the puppet, and charges up an attack that'll send everyone to hell, including himself.

Godzilla

    Examples 
  • Abraxas (Hrodvitnon) Recursive Fanfiction Abraxas: The Clash of Silver (link): Walter Simmons, corporate director of Apex Cybernetics, is as vile as his MonsterVerse counterpart, and then some. An ambitious narcissist who feels challenged because humanity isn't the top dominant species, Simmons seeks to conquer all the emergent Titans on his terms, with his company on top. To this end, Simmons uses subterfuge to provoke Godzilla and the pacified Titans into rampaging in multiple cities so as to turn public opinion against them, and he orders his daughter's assassination to protect his secrets. Simmons intentionally endangers millions of people in Hong Kong so that he can have Mechagodzilla kill and usurp Godzilla under the guise of saving humanity, planning to afterwards enslave, lobotomize, and harvest Godzilla's allies for resources. When Ren Serizawa punches Simmons, Simmons orders that Bernie Hayes be taken away and shot just because he was present, and he tries to fry Ren's brain via forcibly connecting him to Mechagodzilla, taunting Ren about how the Mecha is going to kill the very same Titan who Ren's father sacrificed his life to save.
  • Gen Urobuchi's trilogy Fan Film Planet Eating Wings: King Ghidorah is the Exif's planet eating god. Arriving on Earth, Ghidorah's first act is to reduce everything in the area to a flaming wasteland and kill everything in sight. Fighting Godzilla, Ghidorah proceeds to sadistically mutilate and dismember the Monster King, drawing the battle out to prolong his suffering as long as possible. After winning, Ghidorah continues laying waste to everything in sight to entertain himself while waiting for his consumption of the planet to complete. When overpowered by a Mothra-empowered Godzilla, Ghidorah decides to launch the moon at the Earth in a last act of spite.

Ghidorah gains the upper hand, injuring Godzilla and mortally wounding Mothra by ripping one of her wings off; he then heads to Kyoto, which he begins destroying until he is confronted by Godzilla, who Mothra healed before succumbing to her wounds.
  • Kaiju Revolution (especially here): King Ghidorah was once one of Earth's greatest defenders and Godzilla's brother-in-arms. However, when chemical-based life began to evolve, Ghidorah's hatred of these new beings led him into a genocidal rage. After being responsible for the Great Dying and the near extinction of Godzilla and Anguirus's species, Ghidorah was trapped within the Earth's core for millions of years. Mutating and becoming more bitter over time, Ghidorah summoned the meteorite that wiped out most of the dinosaurs. Afterwards, the remnants of Mothra's race sealed him in a cocoon and hurled him into space, where he eventually destroyed all life on Mars. Upon returning to Earth in 2032, Ghidorah tricked humanity into setting him free and broadcasted a signal that drove all of the planet's kaiju into a homicidal rampage. Ghidorah proceeded to kill many kaiju in sadistic ways, including setting Mothra on fire in front of her larvae and ripping Radon's heart out. In his final gambit, Ghidorah intended to destroy the Earth's magnetosphere and kill every living being on the planet he once fought to defend.

Harry Potter

    Examples 
  • The Chosen Six: Fenrir Greyback is just as vile as he is in canon, perhaps even more. Furious that Magical Britain revoked all rights to werewolves, he decides to wage total war on it. To do so, he leads his pack through a campaign of mass murder, killing dozens of wizards and Muggles alike. Moving north while dodging the police and Aurors, Fenrir decides to capture Harry Potter to spread his curse to him. When Percy interposes himself, Fenrir mauls him, and later brutally attacks Hogwarts in a Suicide Attack with the explicit goal of causing as much damage as possible. A sadist who gleefully admits his crimes at his trial, Fenrir gloats that he succeeded in radicalizing more werewolves by causing the laws to be further tightened, showing that he doesn't care about his fellow werewolves any more than his fellow man.
  • The Dragon Tamer (link): Serena Daniels is Charles "Charlie" Weasley's co-worker and a depraved rapist beneath her flirtatious and charming demeanor. After Charlie rebuffed her advances, Serena used the Imperius Curse to force him to have sex with her—impregnating her in the process with twin daughters—before threatening to falsely accuse Charlie of being the one who raped her should he try anything against her. Serena also repeatedly triggers Charlie's subsequent trauma whenever she has the opportunity to speak with him. After Charlie's family convinced him to press charges to protect his daughters from their mother, the latter revealed under a truth potion that on top of Charlie, she raped 14 other men as well.
  • Ginny Weasley and the Waking Nightmare (link): Steven Livingstone is a Muggle who specializes in murdering young children, taking advantage of his mobile job as a cover. Kidnapping Ginny Weasley, Livingstone reminisces about his victims while idly listening to Ginny's memories of Tom Riddle tormenting her, even going so far as to identify with the young Voldemort. When he reaches a lonely forest where he usually dumps his victims, Livingstone declares that he kills because it makes him feel powerful before trying to murder Ginny.
  • Le Maitre de la Mort (The Master of Death) (link): Lord Voldemort, born Tom Marvolo Riddle, is just as evil as his canon counterpart in this film depicting his rise to power. While in Hogwarts, Voldemort learns about Horcruxes and plans to use them as a way to become immortal. To this end, he murders Myrtle, then his father, then Hepzibah Smith, as well as three other random people, and uses their deaths to split his soul apart. When Voldemort and some of his followers go to Albania to get Ravenclaw's diadem, they are ambushed by the ministry. Voldemort traps Elyana Ogden and tortures her with the Cruciatus curse until she gives up the name of the one who betrayed him. Voldemort tortures Avery as punishment for betraying him and then has him killed. Years later, Voldemort has amassed a large following and is beginning his plan to take over the wizarding world and eliminate all Muggles and Muggle-borns, already being responsible for the deaths of several. Voldemort would later kill Lily and James Potter and attempt to murder their infant son, Harry.
  • Methods of Rationality: Professor Quirinus Quirrell, actually Tom Morfin Riddle, is a brilliant, magically gifted sociopath regarded as pure evil by everyone aware of his true nature. In his quest for eternal life, he creates over a hundred Horcruxes, personally murdering a single person for each one. Having fully ensured his immortality, he adopts a persona of a cartoonishly evil Dark Lord he names "Voldemort" and uses it to launch a war against magical Britain. After over a decade of effortlessly crushing his enemies and committing various atrocities, Voldemort imprints his own personality onto a young toddler, resulting in Harry being "remade" in Tom Riddle's image. Ten years later, having lost his original body, Voldemort possesses an adventurer named Quirinus Quirrell—turning the man into a prisoner in his own body—and applies for the position of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor in Hogwarts. In order to convince Harry to abandon his idealistic ways and make the boy into his own Worthy Opponent, "Quirrell" decides to psychologically break Harry first by attempting to send Hermione to Azkaban, then by brutally murdering her in front of Harry's eyes. Once Quirrell realizes that it made Harry more dangerous than expected, he resolves to kill the boy to get rid of the one threat to his immortality.
  • Nightmares of Futures Past: Lord Voldemort in the Bad Future is even more brutal and vicious than in canon, cursing his followers to die should he be killed. Realizing that Harry Potter was finding and destroying his Horcruxes, Voldemort responded by sacking Hogwarts, murdering anyone who resisted him. Over the next 13 years, Voldemort and his Death Eaters devastated much of Europe, turned Durmstrang into an Academy of Evil, and purged much of the British Isles of Muggles, including an incident where the Death Eaters burned down an orphanage and killed everyone they saw. Voldemort, taking advantage of his mental connection with Harry, would often suppress his emotions until a massacre was complete, then overwhelm Harry with his sadistic glee. When finally confronted by Harry, Voldemort boasted that he didn't need to win the duel because he'd killed everyone Harry knew and loved, with Harry eventually choosing to send his soul back in time to save everyone he cared about. In the new timeline, Voldemort's presence hangs over everything Harry does.
  • Voldemort: Origins of the Heir (link): Tom Marvolo Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort, commits the same crimes as his canon counterpart and goes beyond. One of the heirs of the four Hogwarts Founders, Riddle, sharing none of his fellow heirs' noble aspirations, is introduced professing his Fantastic Racism against Muggles to the Heir of Gryffindor Grisha McClaggen and later breaking the arm of Lazarus Smith, the Heir of Hufflepuff, after tricking him into a duel. When Lazarus retrieves Helga Hufflepuff's cup and sends it to his Aunt Hepzibah for safekeeping, Riddle kills him and then Hepzibah to obtain them himself for use as a Horcrux, taunting Hepzibah over the death of her nephew while doing so and then framing her elderly House Elf for the murder, leading to the elf's death. After Grisha and Ravenclaw's Heir Wiglaff Sigurdsson try to stop him, Riddle kills both of them, desecrating Grisha's remains for a dark ritual afterward—implicitly the creation of a Horcrux—and taking on her appearance to retrieve another one of his Horcruxes from the headquarters of Soviet Aurors. Upon obtaining said Horcrux, Riddle thanks the Aurors by slaughtering all of them whilst declaring himself "Lord Voldemort".
  • What If Snape Died: Lord Voldemort is just as evil as in canon. Introduced leading 30 Death Eaters in an attack on Diagon Alley, he subjects a 5-year-old Harry Potter to the Cruciatus Curse before attempting to kill him. Failing to do so and losing his body thanks to Lily's sacrifice, he arranges years later for Percy Weasley to be tricked into accepting his old diary as a gift so that the soul fragment contained within can open the Chamber of Secrets, unleashing Salazar Slytherin's basilisk on an unsuspecting student body, and also drain Percy's life force to grant himself a body. During Harry's first year, he infiltrates Hogwarts by inhabiting the body of new Astronomy professor Quirinus Quirrell, who jinxes Harry's broom during his first Quidditch game on Voldemort's orders. When he's discovered, Voldemort tortures multiple people before trying to kill Harry one last time.
  • Wish Carefully: Lord Voldemort is just as evil as his canon counterpart but even more unstable. After his side agreed to a deal with Harry Potter to create a society built on Voldemort's racist ideology, Voldemort adjusted very poorly to peacetime and various setbacks to Wizarding Britain, at one point taking to the streets and torturing anyone he saw wearing glasses. Passing laws requiring wizards and witches to receive the Dark Mark once they came of age, Voldemort frequently tortures his Death Eaters through their Dark Marks for his own amusement. All this merely accelerates the decreasing population and Generational Magic Decline present among his supporters and their offspring because nobody wants to move to a place run by an Evil Overlord, with Voldemort torturing a clerk to death for trying to warn him of that problem. Things in Wizarding Britain have gotten so bad that several Death Eaters are planning to kill Voldemort or send him to Harry so that he can kill Voldemort for them.

  • Echoes: In a fanfiction where the main characters were traveling through the multiverse, several characters stood out by their sheer monstrosity:
    • Kenta Ayatsuri is a jōnin of Konoha, as well as a philanthropist who founded an orphanage. However, Kenta turned the orphans into Tykebombs and prostitutes to fund his activities. Training Kamui, the Wave-Verse's Kakashi, Kenta turned him into another tyke-bomb. When Minato added Kamui to his own team, taking him away from Kenta, the latter contacted the enemy in order to sabotage Team Minato's mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, and to get rid of them, barring Kamui, leading to Obito's death. Fleeing Konoha after his crimes were discovered, he sent brainwashed children to massacre Konoha families, and, in the Wave-Verse, kidnaps a pregnant Rin. Killing the baby, Kenta tortured Rin to death and greeted Kamui with her corpse when he tried to rescue her. He also tried to recreate Kamui with other children, killing or wounding them in the process. In The Past Enemy Arc, Kenta is introduced horribly killing Kin, a little girl, because she cried when he gave her to a brothel. He attempted to kidnap Rin and Kakashi's child, succeeding with Rin. When his subordinate suggested to kill Kamui, Kenta killed him. When confronted by Kamui, he blamed everyone but himself for his crimes and revealed that he committed all of this to turn Kakashi into his "masterpiece", and so that he will be remembered. When Kamui replies that he will do everything to forget him, a spiteful Kenta attempts to kill him and Rin.
    • Izanagi, the Madara Uchiha from Izanami's world, lacks the redeeming qualities his canon counterpart and the Madara Trio have. Planning to execute the Eye of the Moon plan to satisfy his god complex, Izanagi resurrected a dying Izanami and made her immortal to test his newfound immortality technique. Izanagi trained her but also horribly abused her to his content, forcing her into prostitution and torturing her when she rebelled. When she didn't fulfill his expectations, he planned to replace her with her baby son, Itachi, out of misogyny, leading to his death at Izanami's hands. When resurrected by Susanoo, Izanagi allied with him against the Arashi Clan only so that he could get back at Izanami and seal her alive forever. He revived 5 Kages with Edo Tensei to use as puppets against the Arashi clan. When curb-stomped by the Sage of the Six Paths, he had no problem dropping the moon on Earth to stall him, planning to go to another universe to start over his plan if it destroyed the planet. Thoroughly depraved beneath his soft-spoken character, Izanagi left an impact despite his short appearance.
    • In the "Ame-Verse", Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, sheds any redeeming qualities his canon counterpart had. Under the guise of "human progress", Yagura started in Kiri's Ninja Academy a graduation program consisting of students killing each other, in order to weed out the weak in favor of the strong. With his "Blood Police", Yagura kills any "weak" civilian, shinobi, clansman and started a Final Solution to the bloodline wielders' question. Allying with Ame's Hanzo, he chose to kill Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, not due to his alliance with Hanzo, but because he hated them, saying that he would have killed them even if he wasn't allied with Hanzo. After having killed Yahiko, he laughs at Konan while she cries over Yahiko's death, and mocks Hanzo when the latter regretted Yahiko. After being challenged with Hanzo in a fight by Kazama, the original Naruto, and Tsukiyom, Kazama's World's Madara Uchiha, he almost kills part of the audience during one of his attacks, attempted to eat Kazama during the fight, and released the Sanbi from his body out of spite after his defeat, telling it to avenge him. Believing that Jinchuriki were the Master Race, Yagura was accurately described as an "all-around monster".
    • In the "Road to Ninja" verse, Obito Uchiha also lacked any qualities his canon counterpart had. After defeating the Shinobi Alliance, Obito launched the Infinite Izanagi, killing his entire world and creating his own personal paradise, in which he created everyone the way he wanted them, and joined the Teikoku. When Kazama and Tsukiyomi entered the "Road to Ninja" world, Obito, being a psychologist, kept an eye on the former during their sessions. Despite having already gained his personal paradise, Obito plans to spread the Infinite Izanagi through the multiverse, at the risk of destroying countless worlds just so that he can live his fantasies. He doesn't even care about his own creations, abusing his "favorite son" Menma, and destroying his world's Konoha and several of his inhabitants, seeing them as ultimately replaceable, even his supposed Love Interest, Rin. When defeated by Kazama, Obito released the Ten-Tails from his body out of spite. Believing himself to be a god, Obito was nothing more than a Psychopathic Manchild who wanted to fulfill his wishes no matter what.

Successfully tracking down Naruto 8 years later, Hinata defeats him, describes to him how she killed his mother, and would've raped him again had Himawari not stepped in.

And when Locus kills Siris quickly as a Mercy Kill, Felix acts like Locus is just ruining his fun. And when he asks Hargrove about the bodies, he just says that Siris got what he deserved for being a "traitor".

With the Krusty Krab name soiled and both Plankton and Mr. Krabs dead, SpongeBob then moves in with his own Pretty Patties restaurant and begins securing control of "his" city, casually threatening Sandy with bloody conflict if she dares try to expose him for the monster he really is.
