Five-Bad Band/Video Games/A-F

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
    • The Big Bad - Caulder
    • The Dragon - Tabitha and Waylon
    • The Evil Genius - Caulder pulls double duty here. He is a Mad Scientist, after all.
    • The Brute - Admiral Greyfield, a pompous egomaniac who thought he was running the show. Tabitha may qualify as well, being strength-obsessed and having one of the most powerful CO powers.
    • The Dark Chick - Penny, a disturbed little girl with a strange fixation on explosions.
    • The Sixth Ranger Traitor - Cyrus, in many ways as much The Hero as Will is.
  • Bomberman- The Five Dastardly Bombers seem to be another parody of Super Sentai in appearance
    • The Big Bad - Plasma Bomber (when Bagular's not controlling them. Otherwise he defaults to the Dragon)
    • The Dragon - Magnet Bomber (By process of elimination, ironic as he's always the first beaten), Plasma Bomber when he's not the Big Bad, Max once after being brainwashed by Brain Bomber.
    • The Evil Genius - Brain Bomber (Also played the Big Bad on one occasion)
    • The Brute - Golem Bomber
    • The Dark Chick - Pretty Bomber (Perky Female Minion)
  • City of Heroes - The Praetorian Guard
    • The Big Bad - Tyrant/Emperor Cole
    • The Dragon - Marauder, Chimera (splitting the chief enforcer and administrator roles)
    • The Mad Scientist - Neuron, Anti-Matter
    • The Brute - Marauder, Mother Mayhem (despite her psi powers, her only response to threats tends to be "crush it")
    • The Dark Chick - Dominatrix
  • Final Fantasy XII with the Archadians.
    • The Big Bad - Vayne, The Emperor.
    • Co-Dragons - Gabranth, who answers right to the Emperor, and Zargabaath, who commands the fleet that accompanies Vayne's airship Bahamut.
    • The Evil Genius - Two of them, Dr. Cid the Mad Scientist, and Ghis, The Starscream who schemes to usurp power for himself.
    • The Brute - Bergan, Ax Crazy and brutal who slaughters a mountain of peaceful acolytes and their war refugees for no reason at all.
    • The Dark Chick - Drace, the female of the group who isn't afraid to speak out against Vayne.
    • The Sixth Ranger Traitor - Reddas aka Zecht, a Judge who defected from the Empire when he was disillusioned with their actions. Also Gabranth at the very end.
    • You can also count the Judges as their own Five Bad Band - Gabranth is the leader, Zargabaath is the second-in-command, and from there Ghis, Bergan, Drace and Reddas keep their roles as described above.
    • Venat can be considered to be The Man Behind the Man, as well.
