Line 14:
See also [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes]], for the bottom end of the Protagonist version of this list. See [[Likable Villain]] for a classification of reasons ''why'' not all villains are vile ones.

The sliding scale is roughly as follows:
== Most Sympathetic ==
* [[Hero Antagonist]]s
** [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist]]
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
** With few exceptions, any villain serious that [[Dystopia Justifies the Means]] is a [[Complete Monster]], though the reverse is not true; even [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|serial rapists]], [[Omnicidal Maniac]]s, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|people who play very loud, annoying music on the bus]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|won't take it]] ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|that]]'' [[Even Evil Has Standards|far]]. This is usually reserved as a motivation for [[Bigger Bad]]s and the [[God of Evil]] when they decide to take off the kid gloves.
** [[Complete Monster]] - By definition, the least sympathetic character possible. Note that not all characters who cross the [[Moral Event Horizon]] are necessarily [[Complete Monster]]s.
== Least Sympathetic ==
