* ''[[Minimonsters]]'' is a comic filled with several characters, so it's expected to have [[Jerkass|jerks]] and even [[Arc Villain|outright villains]] among its cast. [[Jerkass Woobie|Due]] [[Laughably Evil|to]] [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|several]] [[Pet the Dog|factors]], none of them could be considered truly hateful. The exception is [[The Grotesque|Quasim]], the [[Dumb Muscle|dumb]], [[The Brute|brutish]] [[The Bully|bully]] of [[Quirky Town|Villa Susto]]. His only role in the plot is to torment the students [[Up to Eleven|and teachers]] and generally being a pain in the ass. To reinforce this trope, his favorite victim is the local [[Cute Ghost Girl|Cute Ghost Guy]] [[Adorkable|Gus]], [[The Woobie|who is the least deserving of his abusive treatment]]. He usually [[Karma Houdini|doesn't get any comeuppances]], but when he [[Karma Houdini Warranty|does]], is extremely satisfying to watch.
* ''[[Spawn]]'' villain Billy Kincaid. The general consensus among fans is, "Will this bastard ''ever'' die?" The fans hate him, most everyone in-universe hates him, ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|even Spawn’s arch-enemy Violator hates him]]'', and in a series where vile villains are common, Billy Kincaid remains one of the vilest.
** Even before he became a supervillain, he was a pedophile, sadist, and child killer who lured his victims by [[Bad Humor Truck|posing as an ice cream man]], then brutally [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|raping and torturing them to death]]. He was arrested and sentenced to 22 years in prison, but his father, [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|a rich Senator]], used powerful attorneys and blatant bribery to have him granted parole after only six years, and he went right back to preying on children. Spawn - who had known of Kincaid while still human, and had tried and failed to assassinate him on behalf of the CIA - finally seemed to deliver true justice by giving him a most horrid death; upon arriving in Hell, Billy was recruited by Malebolgia and made into a Hellspawn himself.
** From there, the Hellspawn Kincaid would attack an injured Spawn, who still crushes him easily and decapitates him - however, he comes back as a ghost, [[Demonic Possession|possessing people]] and forcing them to commit crimes based on their most violent impulses and condemning their souls to Hell. Even worse, he gets stronger with each soul taken, and his [[Body Surf]]ing makes it hard for Spawn to get a bead on him until he [[Batman Gambit|tricks him into possessing a police officer and luring him to the Dead Zone]] (a part of the city where Heaven reigns and Hell has no power). From there, Spawn takes Billy down with [[Good Old Fisticuffs]] and some help from Sam and Twitch. Did his [[Karma Houdini Warranty]] expire? Not a chance. He forcibly turns Christopher into a Hellspawn, using him as a puppet to commit murders while [[Forced to Watch|forcing him to watch them all]]; this is enough for the [[Faustian Rebellion|the symbiotic Hellspawn costume to side with Christopher]] and turn on Billy, tearing his soul apart and ''seemingly'' putting an end to him for good.
