* [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Dr. Horrible]]. He claims to be a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] but is really an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] who's in the whole evil business because of constant humiliations from [[Jerk Jock]] superheroes like Captain Hammer and unrequited affection for a girl he met at the laundromat. The story follows his transition from [[Anti-Villain]] to full-blown [[Super Villain]].
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20110910115215/http://furyofsolace.com/2009/01/31/hello-world/ Fury Of Solace], originally created for the ELE application contest <ref>he didn't make it onto the DVD despite a fantastic song, probably because {{spoiler|he really isn't evil}}</ref>. His [[Villain Song]] <ref>linked above</ref> details how {{spoiler|he had to kill a young girl's parents (and, implied by extension, become her nemesis) so she'll become a superhero and save the world}}.
* Despite going criminally insane and burning down a toy factory in a rampaging fit of revenge, [[Doctor Steel]] is really a kind-hearted soul who only wants to make the world a better place (for himself...).
* Vincent Liedecker of ''[[The Descendants]]'', philanthropist, life saver, and even sponsor the [[Super-Hero School|hero team's school]] -- the only one around that doesn't seem to be about brainwashing or supersoldier projects. He sends his thugs to ''protect'' the establishments he takes protection money from, even from threats that he didn't create or provide the weapons for. Er...so he is into protection rackets and the underground economy, and producing [[Magitek]] and cloning horrible monsters that Should Not Be, and then selling them to the highest bidder...
