Line 70:
* [[Darkseid]] openly admits to being an evil god and that he desires to crush all happiness and free will in the Universe.
* [[Miracleman|Kid Miracleman]]/Marvelman displays this trope when he goes over the edge. Moments after starting his slaughter-spree, he spares the life of a nurse who had been kind to him. He returns a moment later, saying "They'd only say I was going soft...", and pulverises the top of her skull with a blast of his eye-beams.
* Most supervillain teams have names which identify them as evil; The Masters of Evil, the [[Justice League (animation)|Injustice League]], the Secret Society of Super-Villains, etc. Occasionally, as with the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]], it's explained later that the characters [[What Is Evil?|don't see themselves as evil]], but are aware others do and [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|feel they can use this to their advantage]].
** The film version of ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' avoids this by having Magneto simply call his group "The Brotherhood of Mutants".
** Similarly, recent issues of [[Savage Dragon]] have subverted this a bit with the new [[Overlord]] referring to his team (the Vicious Circle) simply as The Circle. Since there are a number of similarities between Magneto's Brotherhood and [[Overlord]]'s Circle, it's arguable that one is in response to the other.
