Evilutionary Biologist: Difference between revisions

* Parodied in the ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' games with Stinky, an evilutionary ''cook'', who wants to advance mankind by making really bad food that only the strongest can survive eating.

* Jaqueline Natla from the original ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (but not the remake) who wanted to use Atlantis' powers to create a predator for humans, thereby giving evolution "a kick in the pants".

* The scientists who ran the White Orphanage in ''[[Wild Arms 4]]'' fit this trope. They took orphaned children and used a variety of cruel methods to attempt to mass-produce artificially evolved humans who could use the eponymous ARMs. Of all their subjects, only 19 survived the initial experiments, and only 2 were not eventually killed or turned into mutated horrors.

* This trope forms the basis of the plot of ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] IV'', where the [[Big Bad]] is {{spoiler|a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] that let his extremism evolve into a Nazi Germany-style pogrom, including developing a nanotech-based bioweapon that kills based on preselected genetic criteria. It kills by destroying the cells of a infected person that doesn't measure up; liquefying the flesh of the person involved. Slowly. At first it's thought that it's a plague, until the main protagonist finds out the truth behind this, and another weapon that destroys ships by [[Made of Explodium|somehow]] igniting the atmosphere within, turning spacecraft into impromptu furnaces) during a covert mission to the [[Big Bad]]'s stronghold/spaceship. It doesn't exactly help that the [[Big Bad]] is a member of the same military that the protagonist is, and is actually higher in rank}}. The purported reason behind all this is that "humanity has gotten weak" without the perpetual warring of the first three games, and needs to be "pruned to be able to face the next adversary." Naturally, the protagonist has to stop this out of moral indignation, not to mention the fact that the [[Big Bad]] is deliberately inciting another war through his use of this stuff.
