History Main / FatBastard

** A year before the trope namer appeared in theaters, Lobo slaughtered an outlaw gang that called themselves the Fat Bastards. Their hat was, naturally, obesity and gaining weight and they were robbing Al's diner of money while forcing him to feed their immense appetites. One member took up a booth that was occupied, by crushing the previous patrons under his immense bulk.

*** The ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' version was just as bad, if not worse - there was no indication that Ultimate Blob necessarily killed the Wasp, simply being an OpportunisticBastard in the most horrifying way possible. AoA Blob, by contrast, killed and ate AoA Nightcrawler's wife (possibly alive), then later taunted him about it. Nightcrawler, not having his canon counterpart's [[ThouShaltNotKill scruples]], responded by teleporting a shark into his stomach and letting it eat him alive. Yeah, the Age of Apocalypse is a horrifying place all round.

** Creator/JohnByrne's run featured a minion of Darkseid's known as Sleez, who is very overweight and equally as unsavory, infamously controlling Superman and Big Barda's minds to make them create a sex tape.

* ''Website/GoAnimate'':

* ''SupremePower'': In the 2006 ''Squadron Supreme'' series, the Squadron confront an overweight war criminal named John M'Butu.

* ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'': Shape from ''ComicBook/SupremePower'', who is also a RubberMan.

* ''ComicBook/TheDeadBoyDetectives'': Among the trio of bullies responsible for Edwin and Charles' deaths is Barrow, who is quite pudgy and equally as nasty as his associates Skinner and Cheeseman.

* Paul Dini's ''ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}'' series depicts the demon Mammon as corpulent, sadistic and greedy.

* Oogie Boogie from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' is overweight and is the [[BigBad]] of the movie.

* A female example is ComicBook/AmandaWaller, who will manipulate and control people, commits crimes, put bombs into super villains, and even scares Batman. All done [[WellIntentionedExtremist for the greater good]] [[MyCountryRightOrWrong for her country]].
* Franchise/{{Batman}}'s StarterVillain, Alfred Stryker, was an overweight man willing to kill to take control of a company.

* One ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' story had a one-shot villain by the name of [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/stjohnshubert.htm Hubert St. Johns]] who captured the Hulk to replicate his powers. He was morbidly obese and could only walk with the assistance of crutches and although he succeeded in inducing a gamma mutation, it just made him an even fatter blob.

* The writers of Franchise/MarvelUniverse never seem to be able to decide just what the deal is with ComicBook/TheKingpin. He's an incredibly huge person, but depending on the writer this is because his muscles are so huge they make him look fat or that he's a greedy slob with no sense of control. Some split the difference and write that he's got incredibly powerful arm and leg muscles but is fat everywhere else because of overeating--[[FridgeLogic ignoring the more medically likely explanation that, like sumo wrestlers, he is well-muscled everywhere, but eats enough to maintain a significant layer of padding on top of it]]. Whatever the explanation, it doesn't stop Franchise/SpiderMan from going to town on him for it, at one point responding to being told that Kingpin was planning a huge operation using most of his available mercenaries by commenting, "Oh, he must be getting take-out."

** The Main Man himself (who is already a ruthless and perverted bounty hunter with very few redeeming qualities to speak of) is shown to [[FormerlyFit put on weight in the future]] in ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'' and ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''.

* Allfather D'Aronique from ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'' is fat to the point that his personal aircraft inevitably sustains damage landing. On the top of that, he's also bulimic. As such, D'Aronique has no qualms about [[JabbaTableManners messily gorging himself with food and then vomiting all over himself in front of his subordinates]].
* Suzie Su from ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'', a relatively rare female example, is a very obese woman with a vendetta against Jason Todd who attempts to lure him by holding a children's hospital hostage.

* Both Roark brothers in the comic version of ''ComicBook/SinCity'' are overweight and look unhygienic. Herr Wallenquist also has this look. They are all extremely evil crimebosses.

* Subverted with Sam from ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}''. While he caters to every single characteristic of the trope, he's as good a guy as they come who always strives to right wrongs. The bastard tendencies tend to be directed towards bad guys. [[MonsterClown Clown (aka Violator)]], Tony Twist and Billy Kincaid, on the other hand, [[OurDemonsAreDifferent play this trope]] [[WouldHurtAChild straight]].
* Another example from ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'''s corner of the MU would be Nick Katzenberg, a Daily Bugle photographer, paparazzi, and rival to Peter Parker. While not a villain, Katzenberg was sleazy, immoral, and generally unpleasant, as well as a FatSlob.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

* Shape from ''ComicBook/SupremePower'', who is also a RubberMan.

* [[RougeAnglesOfSatin Councilmen]] Arnold of ''Fanfic/SoullessShell'', a convicted [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapist]] [[TalkingAnimal ferret]] who tries to rape two other girls in-story, is even described as a "fat bastard".

** Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor was initially depicted as stocky in Post-Crisis continuity in ''ComicBook/TheManOfSteel'', the miniseries that served as the start of Creator/JohnByrne's ''Superman'' run.

* ''ComicBook/SupermanSecretOrigin'' depicts Rudy Jones as overweight, greedy and manipulative. Even after becoming the Parasite, he has a noticeably huge gut.

* Suzie Su from ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'', a relatively rare female example.

[[caption-width-right:350:Not {{lean|AndMean}}, but still mean. Grabbing his nephew ByTheHair is enough proof, context not needed.]]

* ''WebOriginal/LoomingGaia'': The Sovereign of Aquaria is Looming Gaia's fattest High Ruler, and a massive racist who is leading a genocide towards all non-Aquarians, tortured his brother with a biological weapon, has human girls kidnapped and brainwashed to be his mermaid soldiers, and has a harem of scylla that he forces to have countless children for him, which he then proceeds to neglect.

* Big Jack Horner from WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish a crime boss and wealthy heir to the Horner bakery, he wishes for all the magical abilities so he can take over the world, likely one of the most evil villains in the WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} franchise, as he cares nothing for others lives including his own henchmen, and doesn’t care if people die so he can fulfill his wish.
