* Gendo Ikari from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. In the anime, he is [[Ambiguously Evil]] and before his death he regrets having been a bad father to Shinji. In the manga adaptation, he is unquestionably evil and hates Shinji.
** To a smaller extent, Kaworu. In the original anime, he was pretty nice (outside of, you know, {{spoiler|being the seventeenth Angel}}). In the manga, he [[Kick the Dog|kick's a cat]]. This has been done to the point where fans have nicknamed him [[Fan Nickname|Evil Manga Kaworu]].
* In the ''[[Mai Hi ME]]'' manga, the main antagonists of the first arc are Haruka and Yukino, the latter of whom is friends with Mai and Mikoto in the anime, and the otherwise heroic Akira assists them. By contrast, Shizuru never turns [[Psycho Lesbian]], and Nao ([[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork|reluctantly]]) helps the heroes after the teams merge.
* In the ''[[Mai Otome]]'' manga, Tomoe is [[Demoted to Extra]] and does not attempt to plot against Arika, and Nina never does a [[Face Heel Turn]]. On the opposite end, Sergey goes from a [[Punch Clock Villain]] who betrays the [[Big Bad]] for his daughter's sake to a [[Complete Monster]] [[Big Bad]] who is not related to Nina, biologically or otherwise.
* In the 2003 ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime, Basque Grand was transformed from the [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] and [[Colonel Badass]] that he was in the manga into a [[Colonel Kilgore]] and [[General Ripper]] who just can't wait to commit some more genocide. Kimblee, while an awful person in the manga, had his negative qualities cranked [[Up to Eleven]], and his good ones totally suppressed. Even Hohenheim, the [[Big Good]] in the manga, became a [[Retired Monster]] and utter [[Jerkass]]. However, all three of these cases were due to those characters not having been well established yet in the manga when the [[Overtook the Manga|anime overtook it]].
Line 137:
* [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/write/entry/top-five-miscast-disney-villains This page] lists five well-known characters who were reimagined into villains through Disney movies in this way.
* The ''[[Day of the Barney Trilogy (Fanfic)|Day of the Barney Trilogy]]'' takes Barney and Baby Bop, who are portrayed as sincere and good friends to the kids on ''[[Barney and Friends (TV)|Barney and Friends]]'', and portrays them as [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] who successfully get the world's children to kill any adult they come across, {{spoiler|kill their male Special Friends when they turn thirteen, and take the thirteen year old girls away to fatally [[Medical Rape and Impregnate|mother]] mutated offspring.}} They're even revealed to be [[Really 700 Years Old|Really 65 Million Years Old]] and to have been the harbringers of many of the world's evil dictators and catastrophes.
* In the movie [[Downfall (Film)|Downfall]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Fegelein:Hermann Fegelein|Hermann Fegelein]] is simply Heinrich Himmler's Number Two man who Hitler killed for trying to leave the Bunker and flee Berlin. In [[Hitler Rants (Web Video)|Hitler Rants]], however, he's portrayed as a malicious [[Trickster Archetype]] and [[Screwy Squirrel]] whose "antics" constantly bamboozle [[Butt Monkey|Hitler]] at the drop of a hat, making Fegelein the [[Big Bad]]. Granted, this stuff is [[Poke the Poodle]] compared to the [[Real Life]] [[Complete Monster|Fegelein's]] "[[Moral Event Horizon|antics]]" in Russia.
