Line 216:
* Walter Sykes, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Warehouse 13]]'''s third season, is this in ''spades''. If you [[You Have Failed Me...|fail him]], he'll roll another [[Xanatos Gambit]] and arrange to dispose of you. If you succeed, he no longer [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|has any use for you and has you offed anyway.]] As it happens, it's just another facet of {{spoiler|the corruption of the [[Artifact of Doom|Collodi Bracelet]] turning him into a [[Complete Monster]]}}.
* [[Supernatural]]'s latest [[Big Bad]] Leviathan leader Dick Roman really deserves the "Dick" part when it comes to his treatment of his own staff and kind. Off course one wouldn't expect anything else from a species of eternally hungry [[Eldritch Abomination]], but his enjoyment in punishing anyone who displeases him in any way appears to exceed his desire for his kind to conquer the earth and devour humanity. At one point he forces one of his scientists to "bib" and devour himself when his attempts at turning humans docile and apathetic (and thus easier to farm and eat) had a 0.03% chance of other humans becoming rage-filled cannibals, while in another episode he eats an unlucky leviathan who failed to retrieve a package replaced with a borax bomb (the only thing that hurts Leviathans, at least temporarily). Joyce Bicklebee from the episode "Out With The Old", is a smaller example, a Leviathan posing as a real-estate agent whose irritability led her to eating four of her assistant who displeased her and ordering around her latest one like a dog on a leash. It's really no surprise when switches sides by helping the brothers dispose his superior when the opportunity presented itself and giving them information on the Leviathan's intents.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]''
** While most [[Big Bad]]s in the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' franchise will berate their minions and use them as stress-relieving punching bags (often for mistakes they clearly are ''not'' responsible for) they tend to draw the line at killing them for no reason. One villain who crossed that line was Queen Bansheera from ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'', possibly the worst villain in the franchise to work for. Clearly caring nothing for her own subjects, {{spoiler|she forced Diabolico to ''kill'' Loki in order to strike against the heroes, ''consumed'' Vypra for her own power, and turned Diabolico into a mindless slave. She didn't seem to even ''care'' about her own son's death. Clearly, this treatment is what led to Diabolico (or rather, his spirit) [[Enemy Mine|deciding to switch sides and aid the heroes in the finale]].}}
** Master Org from ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]'' was pretty bad too. Despite the [[Undying Loyalty]] shown by Toxica and Jindrax, he routinely tortures them for various failures. In fact, his [[Establishing Character Moment]] (in the second episode, after Toxica and Jindrax manage to re-access their lair and are overjoyed to find him alive) he blasts them and angrily asks what took them so long. (And even then they fall to their knees and praise him). {{spoiler| This becomes much worse to take in when it is revealed he is not even truly an org, but a human who turned against all of humanity simply because the woman he loved rejected him.}}
