Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/Marvel Films/Examples that should remain here.


 * Obadiah Stane - As the MCU's first villain, he set the standard for exceptional evil and heinousness. He also hits off the criteria in that he's sufficiently heinous by the story's standards and with the resources and scale he has to work with, his villainy is serious, other characters fear and hate him when they learn of his true nature, he has no justification or excuse for what he does, lacks redeeming features and is thus never redeemed.


 * Aldrich Killian - He's exceptionally heinous by MCU standards in how he threatens the entire nation and risks many lives in doing so, and also plans to control the war on terror throughout the entire world. His Freudian Excuse is completely lacking in adequacy to justify his turn to evil, he has no sympathetic or redeeming qualities, and as the Mandarin, he is revered and abhorred by many. In addition, he's responsible for deadly experiments, acts of terrorism, abduction, torture, homicide, and even planned rape.


 * Red Skull - While toned down from his comics counterpart, he still lacks any redeeming qualities, has no excuse for his evil other than being a born psychopath, is feared and hated even by those on his own side, his actions are objectively heinous and he has one of the largest scale destructive agendas out of any villain due to what he planned to do to half of the world with the Teseract's power, and how many lives he was willing to take along the way. Naturally, he's irredeemable and Killed Off For Real.


 * Ronan The Accuser - His destructive agenda with the Infinity Stone of power is similar to Red Skull's plan but on a galactic scale. He's also particularly heinous by the standards of a fairly light-hearted, fun movie, being a genocidal Knight of Cerebus with No Sense Of Humor and no positive or redeeming features to him who engages in constant acts of terrorism and mass murder. His desire to destroy Xandar and purge the galaxy of those he deems "unclean" is an evil, hateful Knight Templar goal, and him doing it in the name of vengeance for his fallen father, grandfather, and great grandfather isn't out of love for those deceased family members (whom he views as he does himself an extension of the Kree race's greatness) but out of pride for what they fought for, which is a fanatical cause that, rather than leading him to doing anything redemptive, he uses as justification to commit horrible atrocities and mass genocide. Overall he aligns with all the criteria to pass this trope.


 * Bullseye - Despite Colin Ferrel's Laughably Evil Large Ham performance, the character as written has nothing redeeming about him and is an unrepentant mass murder with no Freudian Excuse, justification, or truly mitigating factors to offset this.


 * Norman Osborn - While he's mentally unstable and has some complex, humanizing traits, the crux of his character's arc and role in the series is that he's a really, really bad man. His Goblin persona is not truly a Split Personality but an outward manifestation of inner demons and ugliness that he'd always had inside him even before the lab accident brought it all out to the open. Rather than being schizophrenic like in the 90's animated series, he'd consciously chosen to commit his crimes as the Goblin before blacking out and forgetting what he'd done upon coming to, up until his self realization in front of the mirror that is. By the end of the film, he knowingly succumbs completely to his monstrous nature - even when hugging his son Harry and promising to "make things up to him", he's actually planning on killing Harry's closest friends, which Harry would not want at all, proving that he still doesn't truly love his son and think about his needs over his own desires. His rap sheet is sufficiently heinous, his villainy taken seriously, he's disliked by all characters except Harry and maybe the family butler, and he shows no remorse for what he does and what he becomes.


 * William Stryker - His Freudian Excuse and affection he used to have for his family does not begin to mitigate or justify his present day villainy in any film he appears in, he showcases no qualities that are not unsavory, is met with revulsion and dread from others, commits heinous atrocities out of bigotry and self centered pride, and regrets none of them. Second only to Sebastian Shaw, he's the most monstrously evil and loathsome villain in the X-Men film franchise to date.
