Line 138:
* The [[Big Bad]]s of ''[[Fallout]] 2'' and ''[[Fallout]] 3'' are President Evils, focused on cleansing the post-apocalyptic world of any dangerous mutants. Given that, under their standards, the vast majority of the irradiated planet's surface-dwelling population would qualify as a dangerous mutant, including most of the good guys, this is obviously not a fun plan. Subverted by President Tandi and Kimball of the NCR, though Kimball is a jingoistic imperialist.
* Andrew Ryan of ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' is the president/founder/king of Rapture.
* From ''[[Final Fantasy]]'':
* Subverted with [[Final Fantasy VIII]], Vinzer Deling, president of the (mostly portrayed as) antagonistic Galbadian nation is made out to be the Big bad when the plot kicks off, only to be killed very early on by his [[The Dragon|Dragon, Edea]].▼
** President Shinra in all versions of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. A cruel, egotistical, narcissistic, and greedy man who gained his power and retains it through bribery, he is willing to drain the very planet of life energy simply for profit. The destruction of Sector 7 and the mass-murder of its inhabitants in order to eliminate Avalanche was his idea. {{spoiler|He eventually [[Asshole Victim|gets what he deserves]] courtesy of [[Big Bad|Sepiroth]].}}
