** Completely undone in his second appearance, though. When he first shows up again, he spends a moment thinking about what evil plots he could do. Aorist jokingly suggests that he blight his weeds again, so Demon-Jame ''rips him in half.''

* The Minion Master from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' isn't really interested in doing anything bad; he tends to view making people his minions as a way of helping them escape their old lives, more than anything else. And he doesn't even ''get'' any minions until Torg and Co. join him, at which point, they promptly start using his resources to ''battle'' evil, placating their "Master" by explaining that, as the big picture guy, he doesn't need to know the specifics, or anything at all, about what his minions are actually doing.

* Wilson and Pickett from [http://www.notfunnycartoons.com/main.html Notfunny Cartoons]. Sure, they sell a large variety of killbots and genetically engineered killer werewolves, but they all range from being harmless to actively doing good (case in point, one of the killbots works as a kindergartener). They ''did'' make a highly-efficient killer virus they regularly deploy through their time machine, but only to make sure [[It Makes Sense in Context|that the dinosaurs stay extinct]]. After a quick brainstorming session about what nefarious purposes they could use their time machine for, the best they can come up with is using it to sleep in on weekdays. It's not that they're [[Engineer Exploited For Evil|reluctant mad scientists]] - they're just [[Minion with an F In Evil|not very good at being evil]].
