Hidden Villain: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men]]'', pretty much the whole first season was masterminded by {{spoiler|the Inner Circle, who wanted to get their hands on the Phoenix}}. They're not introduced until just before the [[Grand Finale]], and aren't truly [[The Man Behind the Man]] because the only character they were directly controlling {{spoiler|was one of the heroes}}.

* During the third season of ''[[Ben 10]]'', horror monster-themed aliens show up performing seemingly random tasks through several episodes. During the season finale, they are revealed to have been building a superweapon to allow [[Enemy Without|Ghostfreak]] to achieve world domination.

* In ''[[Miraculous Ladybug]]'', the identity of [[Big Bad|Hawk Moth]] was a mystery until the premiere of Season 2; {{spoiler|while many fans did suspect he was, in fact, Gabriel Agreste, this (along with Nathalie being [[The Dragon| his accomplice]]) - was confirmed here.}}

* The true [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' may be {{spoiler| Rick Prime, the sworn enemy of Rick C-137 (the Rick who is usually in the protagonist position on the series), and the biological grandfather of the Morty who usually accompanies him. Rick C-137 started his multiverse-jaunting career out of revenge against Rick Prime, who murdered his reality's versions of his wife and daughter. While referenced to in flashbacks, he does not appear in the flesh until [[The Stinger]] of the season 6 premiere where he murders the Cronenberged Dimension of Jerry; in his defense though, [[Asshole Victim| this version of Jerry]][[Mugging the Monster| was very much asking for it]].}}
