President Evil: Difference between revisions

* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime and manga, {{spoiler|Fuhrer King Bradley is a homunculus.}} When Colonel Roy Mustang tries to expose him to top military brass, he gets a shocker: {{spoiler|most of them were already in on it.}} In the manga, {{spoiler|the entire country of Amestris was founded by Father and the homunculi. Bradley was a human chosen to be the country's ruler and injected with the Philosopher's Stone to make him a homunculus.}}

* In ''Steel Ball Run'' (Part 7 of ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'') the president, Funny Valentine (yes, that is his name), is a corrupt, morally devoid lunatic who somehow still manages to be a [[Villain with Good Publicity]] (probably the American flag scar). Among other things, he uses government funds to secretly hire criminals and lackeys for his dirty work and he obviously has some sort of plan for ultimate power that involves using said lackeys to get [[Upgrade Artifact|"Saint Parts"]] for him. Oh, and he tried to rape a 14 year-old girl in one scene. He wasn't sure she was 14 years-old, but attempted none the less.

* In [[Bloody Monday]] (Season Two) President Adams seems to do this, only he's just more of a [[Jerkass]] than someone that's genuinely evil.

* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' has Patrick Zala, a [[General Ripper]] who is elected chairman of ZAFT and proceeds to lead his nation into a genocidal war. Chairman Gillbert Durandal, ZAFT's leader in ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' is a different flavour of this, being a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], [[Anti-Villain]], and [[Dark Messiah]].
