* In any work set during [[World War II]], it's a virtual given that the antagonists' marching orders will ultimately come from the leaders of the Axis Powers, and ''especially'' [[Adolf Hitler]], even if they don't physically appear. Rare exceptions include ''[[Catch-22]]'', where the antagonists are corrupt Allied commanders.
* Likewise, it seems to be an unwritten rule for any ''[[Star Wars]]'' work (novels, comics, video games, etc.) set within

Line 203:
* {{spoiler|Darkrai}} from the ''[[Video Games/Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers|Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers]]'' games (as mentioned above, Primal Dialga isn't the villain).
* In the ''[[Mega Man X]]'' series, Sigma is the [[Big Bad]]. His actions are tied to the Maverick Virus, which was created by [[Mega Man (video game)|Dr. Wily]]. He only interacts with the plot directly in ''X5''.
* ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' has this in spades. First, we have [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] Copy X and the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Four Guardians]] at the helm of the plot. After the first game, the [[Big Bad]] is defeated and [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|Phantom]] has pulled a bungled [[Suicide Attack]]. The remaining three Guardians go on the warpath with Zero and the Resistance, which causes its new leader, [[Knight Templar|Elpizo]], to snap and use the powers of the Bigger Bad, the Dark Elf, for vengeance. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg: the next game introduces [[The Chessmaster|Dr. Weil]], who actually ''created'' the Dark Elf ''and'' shows up with his own ultra-[[Nigh Invulnerable]] version of Zero: [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Omega]]. [[It Got Worse|It gets much, MUCH worse.]] Weil rebuilds Copy X and uses him as an [[Unwitting Pawn]], along with the children of the Dark Elf, Crea and Prea, who never intentionally did anything evil because ''they're mere infants''. When his first world domination scheme fails, he comes back to power with [[Kill Sat|Ragnarok]], a space station armed with a [[Wave Motion Gun]] with the actively-demonstrated power to cause mass-scale destruction - even
** ''[[Mega Man ZX]]'' has Model W as a driving antagonistic force, though individual games focus more on their direct [[Big Bad]]s. ''Advent'' implies that Model W is {{spoiler|Dr. Weil, [[Back From the Dead]].}}
* Bass.EXE from ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]''. He appears in each game at least once as an optional boss that outranks all the other bosses in sheer difficulty and intense power, dealing far more than any other enemy in the franchise can (and has the biggest possible health bar). He does appear as a main plot point in [[BN 3]], where he's still threatening, but even then he appears again as an optional boss in post game with entirely new powers. Even after [[BN 3]], he goes on to appear in [[BN 4]]-6 and also appears in Network Transmission, although in Network Transmission he isn't actually killed, he just leaves, although he's still the strongest opponent in the game.
Line 252:
* ''[[Ninjago]]'' {{spoiler|The Great Devourer is the one who turn Lord Garmadon evil}}
* The [[Big Bad]] Mumm-Ra of ''[[Thundercats]]'' and ''[[Thundercats 2011|ThunderCats (2011)]]'' is a servant of the Ancient Spirits of Evil, who grant him his power in exchange.
