* In ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' Trigon was easily the most powerful villain of all, seeing as how he {{spoiler|destroyed the world approximately 12 seconds after entering our dimension}}. However, being the "incarnation of evil" doesn't seem to leave much room for a complex or interesting personality. Luckily, every episode with Trigon in it also had [[Magnificent Bastard|Slade]] around acting as [[The Dragon]].

** The Puppet King from early into Season 1 was also one. It is not explained how he came to be or why he wanted to control the Teen Titans' bodies as his personal army and destroy their souls. He basically just seems to be carrying out this plan for the sake of it so that the episode could have an antagonist, and he had no real personality aside from "creepy, high-and-mighty bad guy."

** Most of the more mindless secondary villains (Cinderblock, Plasmus, Overload, the Chrysalis Eater, Cardiac and the like) in the show seemed to be wreaking havoc [[For the Evulz|just 'cuz]]. It doesn't help that the show had a general aversion to origin stories.

* D.A.V.E in ''[[The Batman]]'' may well be a deconstruction. A robot programmed by Hugo Strange scientist with the memories and abilities of Batman's worst foes for the sole purpose of giving Batman a challenge. He proceeds to easily curbstomp Batman and steals ALL of Gotham's money just to commit the ultimate crime, but is defeated when Batman asks him to explain his origin story. Since D.A.V.E believed that he used to be a person, he basically went catatonic after realizing that he had no backstory of his own.

* Imperiax from the second season of ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', who launched a full scale invasion of the galaxy because...he was power hungry, I guess?
