* '''Beauregard Salt''' from ''+100'' is the most extreme example. Before C-Day, he was already a serial killing cannibal. When witnessing the havoc of C-Day, he felt absolute joy and wanted to perpetuate the Crossed epidemic for as long as possible. The worst part? Despite being infected, it’s revealed that The Virus rendered him completely unaffected apart from the facial rash, due to him already being a murderous psychopath. [[TheImmune The Crossed virus didn't show him anything he didn't already know]]. By all accounts, Salt is as human as can be, and he put his own human mind into forming a whole widespread clan as his legacy.

* [[VillainProtagonist Harold Lorre]] shows that the protagonists can be just as awful as the villains. Appearing in ''Psychopath'', Harold Lorre lied to a group of people to help him out, before systematically and brutally slaughtering each of them before desecrating their corpses. He goes as far as raping Claire and Rick before having them killed, all out of a deep obsession with a woman named Amanda. Even before the events, it’s revealed after rescuing a woman named Lori, he kept her hostage and raped her as well, all under the delusion of love. His actions were so bad, he managed to traumatized the innocent Amanda into becoming a hardened murderer and cannibal.

** [[FauxAffablyEvil Gideon Wells]] from The Yellow Road was a psychopathic psychological abuser, constantly abusing and taunting all the people in his writer’s retreat, causing some of them to go insane. While he does pay a lot of money to his workers, it's solely to keep himself out of trouble. To make things worse, he is revealed to have pulled a massive insurance scam where he got all the citizens of “Stump Town” to mutilate their bodies and amputate them before exposing them, leading to Stump Town having an undying hatred of him and the infected stumped citizens coming after him purely out of revenge.

Not only that, but he allows the desolate town he took hiding in to be overrun and also kicks out his girlfriend Tiffany straight to the Crossed to save his own skin. When the story ends with him about to get infected by the crossed Clancy, it's much easier to root for the latter than for the former.

* ''Dead or Alive'' features [[TheSociopath Richie]] who exhibits that in the end, a regular person can be an asshole even within the worst of the world. Richie is very egotistical with no empathy towards anyone, frequently attempting to get his group to cut out the “useless” group members, and is revealed to have abandoned his girlfriend to save his own skin.

* [[ArchnemesisDad Joseph Pratt Sr.]] from ''Family Values'' is among one of the worst villains in Crossed, despite not being infected. Even before C-Day, [[AbusiveDad Joseph]] repeatedly abused and [[VillainousIncest raped his wife]] and children, even getting his oldest son to rape their siblings as well, with the sole exception being Adeline simply because she was seen as the devil in his eyes.
