== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', the serial killer Roxxas arrived on planet to kill Legionnaires and spotted another villain, Mekt Ranzz, Lightning Lord. He offered to share the kills. Unbeknownst to him, Mekt had [[Heel Face Turn|reformed]] and was there because his brother and sisters were Legionnaires; first he appealed to Roxxas to stop, and then joined the fight against him. When Roxxas downed all his foes, he [[Kick Them While They Are Down|kicked Mekt]] and complained that he would have shared.
* Susanita from ''[[Mafalda]]'' is made of this trope:
** When she reads the famous phrase [[The Golden Rule|"Do not do unto others as you do not wish they would do unto you"]], what is her reaction? "What a shame."
Line 345:
** Dr Weil is arguably a deconstruction of this trope. His actions are absolutely reprehensible, and his mindset makes it worse. This is the main reason why [[Complete Monster|he's officially the most evil villain in the entire series.]]
* Possibly Wario in ''[[Wario Land]]'' and ''[[Wario Ware]]'', although he's also heavily obsessed with [[Greed|monetary gain]]. On a similar note, most of his enemies are like this as well, which is probably why he's never really portrayed as the villain.
* Similarly, the villains from the [[Mario and& Luigi]] series, the first and third games in particular. Cackletta starts out more or less like any normal villain, but turns into this roughly when she takes over Bowser's body to become Bowletta. Fawful is already in this in the first game (he has a literal camera crew with spot lights and speech before his boss battle), but by the time of Bowser's Inside Story, has gone straight off the deep end, with his face on every object in sight (statues, floors, trains) and the entirety of Bowser's minions treating him as a celebrity under mind control.
* ''[[My World, My Way]]''. It's in the title. After all, when you're a [[Princess]] who can ''[[Reality Warper|change the fabric of reality by pouting]]'', why ''wouldn't'' it be about you? Of course, the reason she's doing anything is to learn how not to be a stuck-up princess.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' has Kuja, who pretty much robs the whole friggin' bakery. The motivation for his [[Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum]]: He was informed that he was mortal and thus would die soon, and he found it utterly unfair that the rest of the universe was allowed go on existing ''without him''. Naturally, something had to be done to correct this grave injustice.
* ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'', has Kratos, a man who killed an entire pantheon rather than admit once that maybe, just maybe, something was ''his own damn fault''. Most evident in the second game, when he starts doing the exact same thing that Ares did. The thing that prompted the gods to help Kratos kill him. And then he claims that the Gods of Olympus betrayed ''him'' by stopping him.
