If you did not read Suicide Squad, you would not know about it and think she had gone evil again.]]
* Mandrakk, the Dark Monitor from ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', was a Lovecraftian Horror ultra-vampire who wanted to feed on the life blood of existence itself until it had been bled dry. Saying he was the Ultimate Evil is not pushing the envelope. If what has been suggested -- namely that he originally was the Monitor, the heroic mentor figure who laid down his life so the Universe might live in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' -- is true, then this might be the ultimate FHT in comics.
* ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' did this to Alexander Luthor, Jr. and Superboy-Prime, two of the heroes from ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''. Alex turned due to jealousy towards Prime and Kal-L, the Golden Age Superman; both were able to have a childhood and future Alex did not. Alex later convinces Prime to help him with the idea that he could revive Earth-Prime and save his family. Prime ends up fully turning after he knocks Pantha's head off.
* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': ComicBook/MaryMarvel, who used to be a pure-hearted teen girl, was turned evil shortly after ''Infinite Crisis''. Even her clothes [[PaintItBlack turned black]]. However, her turn was undone in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/TheComingOfAtlas'' turned Atlas into a villain. An obscure character created by Creator/JackKirby in 1975, Atlas was conceived as a Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian-like fantasy barbarian who was not exactly squeaky clean, but ''was'' opposing a despotic warlord. When he was brought back in 2008, it is revealed he had became another power-hungry conqueror after killing his nemesis and taking over his kingdom.
-->'''Chagra:''' Atlas was, once, though. My hero. The hero to many. The hero to all.[...] He was bold then, brave, pure of heart and spirit. I joined him in his quest to avenge his tribe's slaughter at the hands of Hyssa, ruler of the Kingdom of the Lizard. He-- We found Hyssa. We-- He killed him. And his rotting skull still adorns a vane upon the roof of Atlas' summer house by the water. Atlas took Hyssa's city and defends it when he must.. But the good has left him. People fear him as much as they love him.
