Line 445:
* Let us not forget ''[[Captain Planet]]''. While, contrary to popular belief, the show's villains generally ''did'' have some kind of discernible motive (usually raw profit at the cost of the environment), causing damage to the planet for its own sake sometimes seemed to [[Flanderization|take a life of its own and supersede anything else]]. In particular, villains such as Verminous Skumm, Dr. Blight on a bad day, and the evil spirit Zarm tended toward the "Corruption/Destruction for its own sake" end of the scale.
* Azula from [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] embraces the rest of the world's view that she's evil. She even calls herself a monster in the later episodes, but that's actually her way of coping with the self-loathing brought on by those beliefs.
* Roughly 90% of [[Disney]] villains are this. Seriously, some are laughable, some are complex, some have interesting backstories, and most [[Evil Is Cool| are pretty cool]], but it's rare to find a villain in Disney with any sympathetic qualities at all. The [[Black and White Morality]] of these movies almost always makes the bad guy rotten to the core.
* In ''[[M.A.S.K.]]'', the main villain, Miles Mayhem, founded and led the '''V'''icious '''E'''vil '''N'''etwork '''O'''f '''M'''ayhem. Though, really, when your [[Meaningful Name|last name is "Mayhem"]], you pretty much ''have'' [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|to be evil]].
* Megatron in most of the earlier ''[[Transformers]]'' incarnations had a rather grating tendency to laugh and say how evil he was, or how evil his plan was, just so that the kids knew who to root for.
