Line 1:
{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}
"The ultimate villain of the story, who's causing the problem the heroes must solve."
 
Note that Big Bad is not a catch-all trope for the biggest and ugliest villain of any given story. The [[Big Bad]] is the one who turns out to be behind several other seemingly independent threats.
----
* Fred from ''[[What's Shakin']]'' is the reoccurring [[Big Bad]].
* In [[Holiday Wars]], the [[Easter Bunny]] is the [[Big Bad]].
* Xaos from [[The Wotch]] might be a Big Bad [[Orcus on His Throne|if he ever]] [[Put on a Bus|gets around to doing it]]
Line 13:
** Though His Masterness turned out to be a subversion. {{spoiler|It was originally Alt Doctor Shlock keeping the people of 4U city in drugged stasis while he repairs the damage caused to the Dimension by his irresponsible portal abuse, then the role was assumed by Alt Riff who continued the job after Shlock's death, and then by a computer Riff left in charge of the city, while he devoted all his energies to saving the world, that ended up going rogue}}.
* ''The Law of Purple'': Silver, Lord of Caligula.
* ''[[Adventurers!]]!'' played around with this, even having a PR war between two of the villains over who was going to be the [[Final Boss]].
* ''[[Bob and George]]'' had a new big bad each year, though Dr. Wily would always come up and Bob stayed consistent.
** Year One: The Yellow Devil {{spoiler|who undergoes a [[Heel Face Turn]] and becomes Nate}}
Line 24:
** Year Seven: Bob
* In [[Blade of Toshubi]], both the Feline Emperor and [[The Dragon|Advisor Toh]] count.
* ''[[The Life of Nob T. Mouse]]'': {{spoiler|The Pie Ghosts of Somewhere}} in ''Pie Noon'' and probably also King Nastie from the ''Nasties'' stories, although he's also something of a [[The Dragon|Dragon]].
* Probably Lord Tedd in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''.
** Or that universe's Shade Tail.
Line 35:
* Most likely Aelloon in ''[[Looking for Group]]''.
** {{spoiler|Recently revealed to be Tavor.}}
* ''~8-Bit Theater~'': Sarda
** And let's just stop saying that the Light Warriors, either individually or as a group, are Big Bads, because they're not - they're working for Sarda and he is the Big Bad.
* ''[[Ansem Retort]]'''s Big Bad tends to change every season.
** Season 1: The FOX president.
** Season 2: Cloud for the first half of the season.
** Season 3: Cid.
** Season 4: Xemnas
Line 54:
* [[Archipelago]]: The Great Raven's ability is limited, but he remains in the shadows, giving orders to [[The Dragon|Captain Snow,]] as well as [[Deal with the Devil|collecting loyalties of various civilians,]] all as a part of his plan to [[Sealed Evil in a Can|free himself]] so he can wreck havoc.
* In [[Endstone]], [http://endstone.net/2011/06/06/5-41/ Kyri realizes that the God of the Eternity Spire is behind both of the tragedies of her life], because he controls the Banestone.
* With this [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234622/http://www1.voodoowalrus.com/?psubid4=1562802381.1375579475&kw=Comics&KW1=Read%20Comics%20Online&searchbox=0&domainname=0&backfill=17280 page] ''[[Voodoo Walrus]]'' seems to be setting things up to suggest that Rip Flintolocke, a character who hasn't even been seen beyond being a shadowed figure, is responsible for everything that's happened in Grymm and Creepknight's lives.
