Line 2:
A form of [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]. But ''only'' really scary nouns count: ''Doom, hunter, death, cage; etc.''
 
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
=== Doom ===
Line 30:
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Bleach]]'': Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, with the triple whammy [[Spell My Name With an "S"|depending on how you spell his name]].
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 150:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Max Payne (Video Game)|Max Payne]]'', [[Anti -Hero]] and [[One -Man Army]]. Considering the [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|Xtremely Kool X]] in his first name, the name's a double whammy ... If you mess with him, you will experience pain to the max.
* Then there's Paine from ''[[Final Fantasy X 2]]''.
* The Lady of Pain, ruler of Sigil, from ''[[Planescape]]''.
Line 167:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* Honourable mention must go to the commander of the ''[[Mutiny On the Bounty|Bounty]]'', who is exactly one crossed t short of this name, and would have ([[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story|allegedly]]) ''more'' than lived up to it.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 241:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Plague/Prague]] in ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Path of Radiance'' (Changed to Petrine in English).
* Las Plagas in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''.
 
Line 371:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Surprising subversion in ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'': Lucca Ashtear is a heroine, though it might relate to her [[For Science!|advancement of technology at the cost of safety precautions]].
 
=== Gore: ===
Line 406:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The [[One -Winged Angel]] of Garland from ''[[Final Fantasy I (Video Game)|Final Fantasy I]]'' who also reappears as the ultimate [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''.
* There's also [[Blob Monster|Argosax the Choas]] in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 2''.
* Chaos from ''[[Sonic Adventure (Video Game)|Sonic Adventure]]'' (especially in his/its [[One -Winged Angel]] form).
* For a double example of this, you've got the villain called KAOS (yes, all caps) in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 3'' (and ''Donkey Kong Land 3''). K name, and Chaos. And the level it's first found in is called 'KAOS Karnage', which has got to be a name to run from even faster.
 
Line 421:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The Despair Embodied of ''[[Devil May Cry]] 2'', the [[One -Winged Angel]] and [[Bishonen Line]] (with a touch of [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] and [[Ambiguous Gender]]) of the above Argosax the Chaos and perhaps the only ''[[Your Mileage May Vary|real]]'' [[Your Mileage May Vary|challenge in the game]].
* Also, there's D'Sparil, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Heretic]]''.
 
Line 440:
* ''Hero For Hire'': Luke Cage, Power Man. He was so cool that [[Nicolas Cage|Nicholas Coppola]] changed his own last name to match his.
* Psyko from the [[Marvel Comics]] ''[[Sleepwalker]]'' series. He's a [[Serial Killer]] and [[Mind Rape|Mind Rapist]] who likes to [[Brainwashed and Crazy|drive everyone around him insane literally just by looking at them]], try to manipulate them into [[More Than Mind Control|committing murder]], and is more or less a [[Complete Monster]].
* [[Orphaned/Characters/GL Red Lantern Corps/Characters|Atrocitus]], perhaps the only ''[[Green Lantern (Comic Book)|Green Lantern]]'' villain who can give [[Sinestro]] a run for his money in the evil name department. It's appropriate, since he's literally a space demon.
* The Violator from ''[[Spawn]]''.
 
Line 446:
* Holocaust and Necrosis from ''Three of Heart, One of Blood''. Necrosis [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|causes any living object he touches to decompose, cell by cell.]] Doryn from the same series is an in-universe example: {{spoiler|his name is Zuzenai for 'essence of terror'.}}
* In the ''[[Pony POV Series (Fanfic)|Pony POV Series]]'', {{spoiler|this seems to be the natural naming scheme for the Draconequi. The ones named thus far were [[Complete Monster|Discord]], [[Darwinist|Strife]], [[Mad Artist|Pandemonium]], [[Psychopathic Manchild|Destruction]] (also goes by Disaster), [[Punch Clock Villain|Anarchy]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|Entropy]], and [[Eldritch Abomination|Havoc]]. However, Discord and Destruction are the only ones who are actively destructive, and of the two, Discord is the only one who is ''truly'' evil.}}
* Torment, from the [[Spyro Madness Saga (Fanfic)|Spyro Madness Saga]]. Cynder's [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] and a [[Manipulative Bitch]] who loves to reak carnage [[For the Evulz|just because she thinks it's funny]].
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 483:
* The big bad of ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]'', Sovereign, has a name halfway between noun and title, and boy, is it an [[Eldritch Abomination|Entity]] [[Mind Rape|To Avoid Like]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|The Plague.]] Same with Sov's boss, [[Big Bad|Harbinger]], and ''his'' boss, {{spoiler|the Catalyst}}.
* Juggernauts (described in a terminal as "the big floaty thing that kicks our asses") in ''[[Marathon (Video Game)|Marathon]]''.
* Queen Cadavra from ''[[Bug! (Video Game)|Bug]]!'', a fat, evil, obnoxious black widow spider queen.
* In ''[[Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney]]: Trials and Tribulations'': Violetta/Viola Cadaverini.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 491:
* [[Enfant Terrible|Vendetta]] and her [[Rodents of Unusual Size|assistant Grudge]] in ''[[Making Fiends]]''.
* Rampage - immortal, murderous, psychopathic Predacon from ''Beast Wars'' that feeds on fear and likes to go on, well, a rampage.
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Nightmare Moon]].
** Discord.
