* ''[[Minimonsters]]'' is a comic filled with several characters, so it's expected to have [[Jerkass|jerks]] and even [[Arc Villain|outright villains]] among its cast. [[Jerkass Woobie|Due]] [[Laughably Evil|to]] [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|several]] [[Pet the Dog|factors]], none of them could be considered truly hateful. The exception is [[The Grotesque|Quasim]], the [[Dumb Muscle|dumb]], [[The Brute|brutish]] [[The Bully|bully]] of [[Quirky Town|Villa Susto]]. His only role in the plot is to torment the students [[Up to Eleven|and teachers]] and generally being a pain in the ass. To reinforce this trope, his favorite victim is the local [[Cute Ghost Girl|Cute Ghost Guy]] [[Adorkable|Gus]], [[The Woobie|who is the least deserving of his abusive treatment]]. He usually [[Karma Houdini|doesn't get any comeuppances]], but when he [[Karma Houdini Warranty|does]], is extremely satisfying to watch.

* ''[[Spawn]]'' villain Billy Kincaid. The general consensus among fans is, "Will this bastard ''ever'' die?" The fans hate him, most everyone in-universe hates him, ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|even Spawn’s arch-enemy Violator hates him]]'', and in a series where vile villains are common, Billy Kincaid remains one of the vilest.
* [[Spawn]] villain Billy Kincaid. The general consensus among fans is, "Will this bastard ''ever'' die?" Even before he became a supervillain, he was a pedophile, sadist, and child killer who lured his victims by [[Bad Humor Truck|posing as an ice cream man]], brutally [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|raping and torturing them to death]]. He was arrested and sentenced to 22 years in prison, but his father - [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|a rich Senator]] - used powerful attorneys and blatant bribery to have him granted parole after only six years, and went right back to preying on children. Spawn - who had known of Kincaid while still human, and had tried and failed to assassinate him on behalf of the CIA - finally seemed to deliver true justice with one of the most horrid deaths of a villain in the series. But arriving in Hell, Billy was recruited by Malebolgia and made into a Hellspawn himself. Regardless, despite being injured, Spawn crushes him easily (decapitating him), but that’s still not the end of Billy. He comes back as a ghost, [[Demonic Possession|possessing people]] and forcing them to commit crimes based on their most violent impulses and condemning their souls to Hell. Even worse, he gets stronger with each soul taken, his Body Surfing making it hard for Spawn to get a bead on him, until Spawn [[Batman Gambit|tricks him into possessing a police officer and luring him to the Dead Zone]], a part of the city where Heaven reigns and Hell has no power. This, of course, means Spawn is also powerless there, but he takes Billy down with [[Good Old Fisticuffs]] and some help from Sam and Twitch. Did his [[Karma Houdini Warranty]] expire? Not a chance. He forcibly turns Christopher into a Hellspawn, using him as a puppet to commit murders while forcing him to watch them all. This becomes so vile that [[Faustian Rebellion| the symbiotic costume sides with Christopher]] and turns on Billy, tearing his soul apart, but by now, only the most optimistic of fans would believe Billy is truly gone. The fans hate him, most everyone in-universe hates him, ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|even Spawn’s arch-enemy Violator hates him]]'', and in a series where vile villains are common, Billy Kincaid remains one of the vilest.
** Even before he became a supervillain, he was a pedophile, sadist, and child killer who lured his victims by [[Bad Humor Truck|posing as an ice cream man]], then brutally [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|raping and torturing them to death]]. He was arrested and sentenced to 22 years in prison, but his father, [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|a rich Senator]], used powerful attorneys and blatant bribery to have him granted parole after only six years, and he went right back to preying on children. Spawn - who had known of Kincaid while still human, and had tried and failed to assassinate him on behalf of the CIA - finally seemed to deliver true justice by giving him a most horrid death; upon arriving in Hell, Billy was recruited by Malebolgia and made into a Hellspawn himself.
** From there, the Hellspawn Kincaid would attack an injured Spawn, who still crushes him easily and decapitates him - however, he comes back as a ghost, [[Demonic Possession|possessing people]] and forcing them to commit crimes based on their most violent impulses and condemning their souls to Hell. Even worse, he gets stronger with each soul taken, and his [[Body Surf]]ing makes it hard for Spawn to get a bead on him until he [[Batman Gambit|tricks him into possessing a police officer and luring him to the Dead Zone]] (a part of the city where Heaven reigns and Hell has no power). From there, Spawn takes Billy down with [[Good Old Fisticuffs]] and some help from Sam and Twitch. Did his [[Karma Houdini Warranty]] expire? Not a chance. He forcibly turns Christopher into a Hellspawn, using him as a puppet to commit murders while [[Forced to Watch|forcing him to watch them all]]; this is enough for the [[Faustian Rebellion|the symbiotic Hellspawn costume to side with Christopher]] and turn on Billy, tearing his soul apart and ''seemingly'' putting an end to him for good.
