Line 39:
* [[One Piece|"Massacre Soldier" Killer]].
* Killer Bee from ''[[Naruto]]''- not a bad guy, but [[Not So Harmless|certainly not someone you want to mess with]].
* [[Japanese Ranguage|Kira]] in ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''.
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Killgrave (a ''[[Daredevil]]'' villain unfortunately known as The Purple Man. Shoulda just stuck with his real name...).

* Damon Killian, the Evil Executive/Smarmy Game Show Host of the [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] flick ''[[The Running Man (Filmfilm)|The Running Man]]''. Played by none other than Richard Dawson.
* Col. Kil''gore'' from ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'', a man who just can't get enough of the smell of napalm in the morning.
* Parodied in ''[[Carry On]] Doctor'' in which Doctor Killmore finds his name tends to unsettle patients.

* Pierce in ''[[Community]]'' is a complete [[Jerkass]].
Line 102:
* Ravage in ''[[Transformers]]'', though he was rarely a threat to other Transformers, was not someone humans wanted to deal with.
** Semi-example: [[Transformers|Bonecrusher]]
** Devastator. [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|He devastates things.]]
*** Or any use of the name, really. The Harkonnen Devastator from the ''[[Dune]]'' games is the biggest, baddest tank around. In [[Duke Nukem 3D]], Devastator is the local BFG.
** Decepticons in general. You'd at least figure the world would realize you can't ''trust'' one. It's not 'til 25 years after their debut when, in ''[[Transformers Animated]],'' someone actually brings up the name thing. (Jazz: "Deceived by a Decepticon. Who knew?")

=== Other ===
Line 140:
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Star Wars|Darth Maul.]]
* The Stabbington brothers from ''[[Tangled (Disney)|Tangled]]'' are probably a parody, although they are rather scary.

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* [[The Addams Family (TV)|Uncle Fester]]. "It means, to rot!"
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
Line 153:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The aptly-named squad of [[That One Boss|superbosses]] from ''[[Armored Core (Video Game)|Armored Core: Last Raven]]'': the Pulverizers.

* [[Blaz Blue|Bang Shishigami]]. [[Theme Music Power-Up|"BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!!"]]

Line 208:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Pokémon Black and White (Video Game)|Pokémon Black and White]]'', of all things, gives us [[Memetic Badass|Genosect]].
 
=== Rip ===
Line 235:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The Shivans from ''[[Free Space]]''. Not only were they named after Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction, but they were also dubbed as "The Destroyers" by the Ancients.
* The final boss of the storyline in ''[[Borderlands (Video Game)|Borderlands]]'' is named the Destroyer. Amusingly, the mission where you fight it is named "Destroy The Destroyer".
