== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ladd Russo for ''[[Baccano!]]'' makes it clear that the only reason why he works as an [[Career Killer|assassin]] and goes on a murderous rampage on the train is because he FEELS LIKE IT.
* (Dis)Honorable mention goes to Eliza Reagan from ''[[Candy Candy]]'' who specifically tortures and abuses Candy a lot ''just because she can'' and she is amused at torturing her.
Line 135:
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[Ultimate SpiderWoman|Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With the Light]]'' features Jack O' Lantern, who starts out with bank robberies before graduating to hostage-takings, gassings, [[Mind Rape]], and finally orchestrating a city-wide gang war. He implies that the reason he commits these increasingly ghastly crimes is, quite simply, because he knows it's wrong. Jack O' Lantern also brags about being so superior to people who in his mind [[At Least I Admit It|hide their impulses behind their civilized facades]], and develops an almost insane hatred for Spider-Woman in part for defending those people and in part for interfering with his fun.
** [[An Ice Person|Blizzard]] is a less malevolent example, in that he and his entire family are a group of chronic jailbirds who are always in and out of prison for offenses ranging from drug dealing to armed robbery to car theft. They actually ''enjoy'' prison, which for them is an extended family reunion. On the other hand, [[Even Evil Has Standards]] and Blizzard and draws the line at rape or murder. When an army of [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] supervillains are invading New York, Blizzard actually helps Spider-Woman protect the people of the city, before sticking around for the police to take him back to Ryker's Island.
* Anything relating to [[Touhou Project|yukkuri abuse]] tends to revolve [[Complete Monster|monsters of humans]] who delight themselves in causing harm and death towards defenseless head-like creatures just because they can. Then there's [[Root of All Evil|the factory]], which all yukkuri are naturally afraid of. They say it won't let them "take it easy", but it's way more sinister than that. There are even yukkuri shops people can go to select their "victim" on some works.

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Q in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', half the time. The other half he's playing a [[Trickster Mentor|mentor]]...
** Arguably, Gul Madred, the Cardassian interrogator from "Chains of Command". Eventually, he lays off of the torture and drugs when he realizes that Picard really doesn't know what he wants to hear... and then picks up where he left off and keeps going ''for the sole purpose of breaking Picard's brain''.
*** Considering that [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Gul Madred]] is also [[Tron|the MCP]], this isn't too far fetched.
Line 459:
** Not to mention when the heroes show up to stop him, he gets a kick out of using [[Mind Control]] to turn one against the other, and is visibly miffed when she breaks free, ruining his game. Then as the planet starts to disintegrate during the final battle, he gets an even ''bigger'' kick out of taunting them for being too late: "Welcome to the end of the world!"
* And if you you're really looking for nasty evil leadership, seems like the whole place of ''[[The Sims|Sim]] [[SimCity|Nation]]'' is an ultimate [[Crapsack World]] that [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|corrupt]] mayors can run cities in. Crime can be rampant on the streets, or a mayor can summon a tornado to hit that peaceful neighborhood, or he can even drive around and spill toxic waste in shopping districts.
** The people living in those cities aren't too bright for staying there either. Try reducing all firefighter budget to zero and set a few fires. As the industries explode and set the entire map on fire, you will find that even with a third of the map burning and another third already turned to ashes, 30% of people polled will still find traffic or taxes to be the biggest problem in town...
* [[Word of God]] states that this is Wario's reason why he's working with the Subspace Army in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130617052223/http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html]
** Wario does have motivation in greed, but the efforts he goes through to get it, right down to literally shaking money out of enemies way too gleefully just proves he enjoys the methods as much as the gains.
