{{quote|'''Anti-Christ:''' Condemn them, Mother, for they know exactly what they do!
'''Stan''': Uh, I'm-I'm sorry, what does that mean?
'''Anti-Christ''': You know, it's the opposite of, '[[As the Good Book Says...|Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do]].' Hello? I'm the Anti-Christ! I'm the opposite of Jesus in every way!"|''[[American Dad]]'', "Rapture's Delight" }}

The [[Dark Messiah]] may claim to be [[Messianic Archetype|the Messiah/Saviour]], but '''The Antichrist''' is the real deal... just for the [[Legions of Hell]].
Line 22 ⟶ 19:
The end of the road for '''The Antichrist''' is normally [[God Is Evil]]. They can aim for that trope, but they will normally be given a final option before deciding their fate.

While it seems ridiculously common nowadays for people to be accused of being this, such accusations are always baseless (and usually pretty dumb), so [[No Real Life Examples, Please]]!

▲{{examples}}
▲== Anime and Manga ==
* Punie from ''[[Dai Mahou Touge]].'' This becomes increasingly obvious as the series progresses. {{spoiler|Her mom was basically this for Magical Land, and she succeeded.}}
* Mistress 9 in ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. Luckily, it's an [[Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism|extremely idealistic show.]] The outer Senshi also confuse her for Sailor Saturn (whose body she's using) and attempt to prevent her from awakening as a result. Saturn is actually a beneficial version of the [[Apocalypse Maiden]].
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
* In ''[[Beelzebub]]'', the [[Delinquent]] main character, Oga Tatsumi, is forced to raise baby Be'el, the Son of [[Satan]], into a powerful demon lord whose destiny is to destroy the world. A side effect of the bond they now share is that the more Oga fights, the more demonic ''he'' becomes. Incredibly enough, this is (mostly) [[Played for Laughs]].
* ''[[Rave Master]]'''s Lucia, who was primed by the universe itself to destroy the world.
* Nico Robin from ''[[One Piece]]''. Or rather, the Marines believe that she's it, anyway. Her Marine-created nickname is "Demon Child", they believe that she comes from a tainted bloodline and that she has the knowledge/power to destroy the world, or at least start Armageddon. Many claims about her are exaggerations or outright lies; they justified putting a bounty on her head when she was eight by claims that she had already sank six ships. The real reason that the World Government wants her dead, by the way, is that she is one of the only people who can read the Poneglyphs, which contain knowledge of the events of the Void Century, a passage of time that is deliberately suppressed by the World Government.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', {{spoiler| the four Dragon Boys are supposed to be this trope, all four being [[Reincarnation]]s of [[Bigger Bad| Zarc]] and each holding a portion of his soul. However, only Yuri truly embraces this role; the other [[Anti-Anti-Christ| three try to reject it,]] although [[Apocalypse Maiden|not without some trouble.]]}}
== Comic Books ==
Line 43 ⟶ 46:
* Turns out, [[Green Lantern]]'s old [[Harmless Villain]] Black Hand is [[Not So Harmless]]. In fact, he's the destined leader of the [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
* [[Marvel Comics]]' ''Son of Satan'', Damon Hellstrom, AKA Damien Hellstorm...yeah, you can imagine. He's an extremely conflicted individual and he's got some serious daddy issues. And you wouldn't believe what a bitch his sister is, don't get this guy started. All in all, a force for good in spite of his heritage, but he's still painfully aware that if he doesn't remain constantly vigilant, he will raise the infernal horde and bring ruin to the earth. Nice guy, though.
* [[Evil Ernie]] might be considered this, as he's [[Lady Death]]'s selected champion intended to bring about the apocalypse via [[Hell on Earth]], and doesn't do all-too bad a job of it.
== Film ==
Line 53 ⟶ 57:
* This is the nickname for the jeep in ''[[The Gods Must Be Crazy]]''. [[Alleged Car|It really was that bad]]. Ay ay ay ay ay.
* Franco Maccalusso in the [[Apocalypse]] film series.
* The [[Evil Sorcerer]] Nix The Puritan from ''[[Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions]]'' claimed to be a messenger sent to purify the world with his followers. Upon his resurrection, he states he wasn't born to show humanity the error of their ways but to [[Omnicidal Maniac|murder the world]]. Thankfully [[Hoist by His Own Petard|his own dark magic becomes his own undoing]] when Harry D'Amour along with Philip Swann knock Nix into a chasm Nix opened up sending him crashing into a magma pit, ending his threat forever.
== Literature ==
Line 95 ⟶ 99:
* The Vistani of ''[[Ravenloft]]'' have their own equivalent of the Antichrist, known as the Dukkar. A Vistani-blooded male born with the Sight, the Dukkar is foretold to destroy the Vistani people while freeing the darklords from their domains: a feat that may or may not cause the Land of Mists to collapse entirely, unleashing its trapped evils upon the multiverse.
* Horus in ''
== Video Games ==
Line 111 ⟶ 114:
* ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' has Gill, in a surprisingly closer form to the Biblical version than most. He says that he wants to take mankind to a promised land where they'll be protected from [[The End of the World as We Know It]], but considering how his [[Oddly Small Organization|oddly small]] [[Cult]] engages in a lot of brainwashing, deception, genetic experimenting, forcing people's hand, and whatnot, and the fact that they're called [[The Illuminati]] of all things, well…
* {{spoiler|Adachi}} from ''[[Persona 4]]'' is a bit of an Antichrist. {{spoiler|He}} is a terrible person who hates the world and wants to end the age of man, masterminding the events of the game {{spoiler|since the real mastermind didn't do anything than give the means.}} {{spoiler|He}} even gets the shadows on {{spoiler|his}} side towards the end of the game.
* In ''[[BioShock Infinite]]'', Zachary Hale Comstock warns his congregation of the False Shepard, a demonic entity that seems to fill that role, and identifies Booker as such. Of course, Comstock is a charlatan and liar through and through, and this is nothing less than [[Malicious Slander]].
