Generic Doomsday Villain: Difference between revisions

Line 114:

* 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?

* The Phantom Blot is this in ''[[Duck Tales]]''. In the comics, he's a vain master thief motivated both by greed and thrills, driven by a desire [[Attention Whore| to immortalize his name]] in "the annals of crime". In the cartoon, however, his ego is magnified, and he wants to [[Take Over the World]] because, well, [[For the Evulz| just because.]]

* [[Evil Overlord|Pariah Dark]] from ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' had elements of this, being an obscenely powerful ghost out for world domination, but without a terribly interesting personality. However, the [[Made for TV Movie]] he appeared in featured major roles from a lot of the more interesting [[Rogues Gallery]] members (such as [[Arch Enemy|Vlad]], [[The Hunter|Valerie]], [[Magic Knight|Fright Knight]], and [[Egomaniac Hunter|Skulker]]), so it all evened out.

** Nearly ''all'' of the third season villains were generic [[Take Over the World]] villains with little difference between them apart from appearances, voice, and powers (IE: Nocturne, Vortex, and Undergrowth).
