* [[Dr. HorriblesHorrible'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...

* There are plenty in the [[Whateley Universe]]. Dr. Diabolik is responsible for the deaths of thousands, all in his campaign to improve the human race. Brigand is a wanted supervillain who is actually trying to track down the monsters who corrupted his father. Jobe Wilkins is a [[Heroic Sociopath]] who thinks nothing of testing serums on unwilling criminals if it provides a new cure for dysentery.
* Some Imperials from ''[[The Gungan Council]]'', like Akio Kahoshi and Delek Wrentar, usually want to bring peace to a war ridden galaxy and care for their close friends. Yet, their methods to bringing peace usually involve hostile conquests of systems and purging the Jedi.
* In ''[[The Gamers Alliance (Roleplay)|The Gamers Alliance]]'', Kagetsu I deeply cares for his subordinates and loves his wife Marya above anything else. He knows that his plan of destroying the world, killing countless innocents and depowering the gods is an unfortunate but necessary step to create an everlasting utopia but he hesitates when he has to choose whether to sacrifice Marya to make his dream come true. Glaurung shares a vision of a world without borders where no more warfare is necessary, but in order to do so her armies have to crush any opposition.
