Big Bad/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

* Fred from ''[[What's Shakin]]'' is the reoccurring [[Big Bad]].

* In [[Holiday Wars]], the [[Easter Bunny]] is the [[Big Bad]].

** Though the comic also features [[Smug Snake|Nale]] and [[Aristocrats Are Evil|Kubota]], two [[Big Bad Wannabe|Big Bad Wannabes]], a [[The Dragon|Dragon]] who is in some ways [[Hypercompetent Sidekick|even more dangerous than his boss]], an [[Eldritch Abomination]] that hasn't done anything yet but could destroy the universe if released, the [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[Evil Overlord]] who's also a main character's father, and a trio of fiendish Chessmasters who are playing everybody else to a greater or lesser extent -- so there's definitely more than a bit of a [[Big Bad Ensemble]] going on rather than ''just'' Xykon. As he's arguably the most powerful non-divine villain in the comic and is the most central single villain to the plot, he'd still qualify as ''the'' [[Big Bad]] though, barring a (not entirely impossible) future upset.

** Recent developments as of #830 mean this might be {{spoiler|more of a [[Big Bad Duumvirate]] between Xykon and Redcloak, with each thinking they control the other.}}

** 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.

* ''[[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}}

** Year Two: Mynd

** Year Three: Megaman

** Year Five: Non-Alternative Mynd (though Bob comes in a close second)

** Year Six: Megaman X

** Year Seven: Bob

* In [[Blade of Toshubi]], both the Feline Emperor and [[The Dragon|Advisor Toh]] count.

** Or that universe's Shade Tail.

** Formerly Daimen.

** Pandora "Chaos" Raven is probably the best current candidate.

*** [[Schedule Slip|Not]] [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|that]] [[Kudzu Plot|you]] [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|need to]] [[Demoted to Extra|worry overmuch]].

* Persumably N'Grall in ''[[Elven Lacryment]]''.

* Most likely Aelloon in ''[[Looking for Group]]''.

** Season 4: Xemnas

** Season 5: none, as the season focused on Axel and Aerith's wedding.

** Season 7: {{spoiler|Xemnas again, and it's hinted that there is another}}

* ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' had Mobster Kingpin, who was set up to be the game's [[Final Boss]] from the start. Problem Sleuth, Ace Dick and Pickle Inspector ([[It Makes Sense in Context|along with many imaginary versions of themselves]]) spent ''more than half of the game'' fighting him.

** Oddly enough, [[Base Breaker|Vri]][[Manipulative Bastard|ska]] can count as the Big Bad, if taking the description of the trope very, ''very'', literally.

*** {{spoiler|Taking it more directly though, Lord English is the [[Big Bad]]; Doc Scratch has done everything for him and he is the [[Man Behind the Man]] to Vriska}}.

***** {{spoiler|Really, until we reach the end of Act 7, we will ''still'' probably have no idea who the [[Big Bad]] is.}}

* We have not one, but [[Big Bad Duumvirate|two]] in ''[[Our Little Adventure]]''. [[The Emperor|Brian]] and [[Dark Messiah|Angelo]], who not only work together but are a [[Unholy Matrimony|married]] [[Yaoi Guys|couple.]]

* 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 [http://voodoowalrus.com/?p=1728 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.
