Line 204:
* {{spoiler|Hades}} from [[Kid Icarus Uprising (Video Game)|Kid Icarus Uprising]] can be considered this. For one, {{spoiler|he tricked the humans into killing each other to increase his Underworld army troops, taking their souls to make more soldiers. He took so many souls that he was able to resurrect Medusa and made a copy of her ''just to use as a distraction for Pit and Palutena'' while his troops continued to attack the humans to gain more souls for his army. Hades was also so powerful that he managed to outright destroy BOTH sacred treasures when battling Pit. If not for Medusa interfering in their final confrontation, there's no doubt that Hades would've killed Pit for sure.}}
* Jericho Swain of ''[[League of Legends]]''. Sure he may look like a hobbling cripple with a cane, but this guy is ''in'' the League of Legends and therefore automatically [[Badass]], and has done such magnificent things as somehow convincing his superiors to TAKE A DEMOTION SO HE COULD COMMAND THEM. An entire plotline in lore which involved the creation of Dominion, at least one new champion, Damacia and Noxus working together, and several Journals of Justice turned out to be all part of Swain's plan to take over Noxus, which succeeded before anyone truly realized, and once they did, they simply said that's fair. He got a new skin out of it too, Tyrant Swain, which makes him look like he should be the [[Final Boss]], that is if League Of Legends were that kind of game.
* Dusk and his Net Navi ShadowMan.EXE from the ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' series fit the criteria for one big reason: they aren't completely helpless when a 10 year old boy defeats them in a Net Battle. That, and they're professional killers who are ridiculously competent, dangerous, and good at evading the law when their plans go sideways. Whether it's taking entire countries offline by way of Navi genocide, buying time for their employers to resurrect monstrous super-viruses, or faking a [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] routine purely for the fun of it, they stand out as especially dangerous members of Lan and MegaMan's rogue's gallery.
