Line 86:
** Mystique when she tried to kill the New Recruits, for literally no reason other than them being unable to fight Magneto. And she did it again via kidnapping Scott, stealing his [[Power Limiter]] aka his ruby quartz glasses, ''and leaving him stranded in the middle of nowhere''
** Apocalypse's was the plot of the finale: To turn everyone into mutants, knowing that most would die in the process due to the nature of it.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', in part one of the "Return Of Harmony" two-parter, Discord had already been [[Kick the Dog|dog-kicking]] when he was manipulating the mane cast into not trusting each other, but at least that was primarily through persuasion. {{spoiler|Cheating by using magic to directly brainwash Fluttershy into being mean}}, on the other hand, was even worse. If by part two you're still clinging to the idea that Discord hasn't crossed this, odds are {{spoiler|his ''absolute glee'' over the fact that he has [[Break the Cutie|broken Twilight Sparkle's spirit]] to the point where she's near the [[Despair Event Horizon]]}} will probably destroy any semblence of morality you might still see in him.
** Discord ''nearly''' crossed this in "The Return of Harmony" by mind raping the other ponies and bringing chaos throughout the land. In "Keep Calm and Flutter On", Discord reveals that he was acting out in self defense, so Fluttershy becomes his [[Morality Pet]]. In "Twilight's Kingdom", Discord nearly crosses it again by betraying the ponies in favor of Lord Tirek, but because he feels betrayed and remorseful, he makes a true [[Heel Face Turn]].
** {{spoiler|Imposter}} Cadence{{spoiler|/Queen Chrysalis}} crossed this by {{spoiler|leaving Twilight trapped in the caves under Canterlot, caves that were ''long forgotten so nopony would ever find her''. Then ''taunting her with that fact!'' And then it's revealed she did the exact same thing with the ''real'' Cadence.}}
*** And this after letting an {{spoiler|already-broken and regretful}} Twilight think {{spoiler|[[Hope Spot|all is forgiven]].}}
** Lord Tirek crosses it in "Twilight's Kingdom" by banishing Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance to Tartarus, then betraying Discord.
* In ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'', you have a number of villains, but one who could easily stand out is Nerissa. Where Prince Phobos was already a [[Smug Snake]], Nerissa started out as a normal woman, no, ''Guardian''. But, she got a little too attached to the Heart of Candracar and was forced to hand it over to her dear friend Cassidy. When Cassidy refused to return it, Nerissa struck her down in a fit of anger. She would spend the next generation plotting Phobos' downfall so ''she'' can take over, armed with as many Hearts as possible, going on a [[Kick the Dog|dog-kicking spree]] "for the good of the universe".
* In [[Transformers Prime]], Megatron {{spoiler|almost kills Raf}} and then gloats about it. He was only attacking Bumblebee at first and may not have known {{spoiler|Raf was there}}, but when he found out what he'd really done, his reaction takes away any fragment of good left in him.
