History Main / MadeOfEvil

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

* Witches in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', [[spoiler: born from the despair of [[MagicalGirl Magical Girls]]]] and able only to kill and destroy.
* In ''Manga/QQSweeper'' negative emotions in people's minds take the form of insects, with JerkJock Sakaguchi having a huge centipede reside in his mind.
* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''(Web Novel only): [[spoiler:Princess Malty Melromarc (a.k.a. Myne Sophia) is revealed to be an ArtificialHuman reality-warped into existence by the truly despicable [[GodOfEvil Medea Pideth Machina]], intentionally programmed to cause as much evil as humanly possible. Averted in the other versions, as she's just a spoiled sociopath.]]

* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers:'' Kurt Busiek's run has an alien pyramid made of the tiniest fragment of the cast off evil of a trio of otherdimensional gods, which has been travelling through the universe sucking the life out of anything it finds. Fortunately the universe responded to it by creating a trio of prisms of pure good to destroy it.

* ''[[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Halloween's]]'' Dr. Loomis believes Michael Myers is this. It would explain his ability to come back from each increasingly over-the-top death.

** ''VideoGame/Control2019'': The Hiss are all about corrupting and infesting anything they can get their hands on. Also, the Dark Presence and The Hiss discovered they ''[[EvilVersusEvil loathe]]'' each other, as they're both evil but also fundamentally conflicting aspects of evil.

* The Dark Star in ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' is a being of incredible [[DarkIsEvil dark energy]]. It can lend that energy to any villain who sets it free, however.

* ''VideoGame/{{Doom 2016}}'': The UAC discovered a rift to Hell on Mars, and used it to tap Hell like an oil well, extracting Hell energy and refining it into Argent energy. The great news is, Argent energy itself isn't evil at all; it's plentiful, easy to use, and its side effects ''improve'' health. Everything about the Hell Refinery went sideways because the demons and their stooges tempted and corrupted most of the corporation's workforce, especially Vice CEO Olivia Pierce. But the evil news is ''how'' Hell energy is formed in the first place: [[spoiler:By raiding entire civilizations and capturing trillions of mortals, then repeatedly and methodically torturing them with magic in ways that would utterly frag them under non-magical circumstances, until their souls break down into Argent Energy (which is then corrupted by Hell into Hell Energy), and the corpses are resurrected as ''demons''.]]

* The {{Franchise/Nasuverse}} has an odd example with its incarnation of [[UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}} Angra Mainyu]]. He was originally a normal man whose fellow villagers wanted evil to have a physical form which they could blame for their own sinful urges, so they sacrificed him and began treating him as a GodOfEvil. Thus he's Made Of Evil without actually ''being'' evil. [[spoiler:When someone summoned him as "Avenger" in the Third Holy Grail War, his death and subsequent reabsorption by the Grail caused it to begin granting the wish he embodied, resulting in [[UnholyHolySword its corrupted state]] during the events of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''Literature/FateZero''. ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' actually features Avenger fighting his own physical manifestation.]]
** The black mud which [[spoiler:pours out of the Grail]] is a physical manifestation of Angra Mainyu's curses. Contact with the mud can kill humans and even destroy or corrupt Servants. [[spoiler:Gilgamesh's body and Kirei's heart are both made of it]].

* In ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', the mansion's fear and despair created a LivingShadow creature called Bogmire, who serves as the boss for area 2 of the game.

* The main antagonist of the ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur]]'' series is not a man but rather a [[LivingWeapon spirit]] of the [[EvilWeapon cursed weapon]] Soul Edge. After being taken into battle time and again, all the bloodshed imbued what was a normal sword with a wicked, sentient spirit that would corrupt anyone who touched it into becoming a soul-draining slave for the sword. The sword's spirit, Inferno, is Made Of Evil but is bound by the restriction of only existing within a separate plane of existence called "Astral Chaos". To accomplish its ends, it uses DemonicPossession to bind people to its will via a process called "Malfestation". Eventually, it's forced to reside in the living world thanks to circumstances in ''III'' that result in him becoming the new Nightmare.
** [[spoiler:The counterpart to Inferno, Elysium, that resides in Soul Calibur isn't any better morally. It's simply the opposite extreme on the OrderVersusChaos scale.]]
* Dark Chips and Nebula Gray from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' are made entirely of negative emotions somehow encoded as data.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' has Model W. Made of the soul of Dr. Weil, it corrupts anyone who fuses with it.

** From ''[[VideoGame/Persona3 Persona 3]]'', Erebus is an EldritchAbomination that, similiarly to Nyarlathotep, is made up of the destructive desires of humanity. However, while Nyarlathotep is a ManipulativeBastard, Erebus is a completely mindless beast that resides in the [[TheLifestream Sea of Souls]] and, essentially, tries to kill itself by summoning another, even more powerful EldritchAbomination to wipe out humanity.

** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicDiscord Discord]] is the antagonist of the second season. He seemed to be [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the embodiment of strife between ponies]] ([[MeaningfulName duh]]), and he has quite the ability to [[TheCorrupter engender it]]. He re-appears in Season 3, where it's eventually revealed to simply be a case of [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove What Is This Thing You Call Love]]: He has existed for so long without ever having a friend that he simply didn't understand what love and friendship were, and had never once considered using his immense power for anything but his own childish amusement. [[HeelFaceTurn He gets better]] thanks to ThePowerOfFriendship. Then the season 7 episode [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E12DiscordantHarmony "Discordant Harmony"]] reveals that, while Discord may not be made of Evil, he certainly is made of Chaos: when he tries to become more orderly to impress Fluttershy, he starts fading from existence, and only gets better when Fluttershy herself makes his house a chaotic mess again.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In her backstory, [[BigBad Salem]] is cursed with CompleteImmortality for upsetting the gods. After trying to commit suicide by leaping into the spawning pits of the Grimm known as the Pools of Annihilation, she instead mutated into a Grimm-like being, one described as 'a living being pure destruction, yet forced to exist forever'. Over time, she develops reddish-black TaintedVeins, implying that her blood runs black with Grimm ooze. [[spoiler:Volume 8 confirms this when Hazel fights her; every time he pulverizes her, she "bleeds" Grimm ooze instead of blood.]]

* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Dark Falz/Force]] from the ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' series is an entity created from pure hatred. [[spoiler: Its progenitor, the Profound Darkness, is also pure evil.]]

* In both ''VideoGame/DarkCloud'' games, the Big Bads have this feature and were created by combining powerful supernatural magics with the hatred of people who watched their loved ones die from the ambitions of others. Making matters worse is that this magic somehow defies causality, meaning the bad guys are ''immune'' to the protagonists 'neutralizing' their 'hate-parents'.

* In Both ''VideoGame/DarkCloud'' games the Big Bads have this feature and were created by The hate of a particular person due to war and Discrimination.

* All of the Prime Evils and the Lesser Evils of ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}''. No exceptions! Hell, the BigBad himself became the game's equivalent to {{Satan}}.

* ''VideoGame/{{Doom 2016}}'': The UAC discovered a rift to Hell on Mars, and used it to tap Hell like an oil well, extracting Hell energy and refining it into Argent energy. Shockingly, Argent energy seems to work great; it's limitless, easy to use, and has no side effects. Everything went sideways because Olivia Pierce went insane made a deal with the demons. Although admittedly part of her motivation was to find a way to get ''more'' Hell energy, the energy itself was fine. [[spoiler:This seems to be due to the ultimate origins of Hell energy. Hell once tried to invade a world called Argent D'nur, which used its mastery of Argent energy (provided by the god-like Wraiths) to push them back. One of the Night Sentinels, the protectors of the Wraiths, made a deal with the demons, and the world fell. The Wraiths were corrupted, and Argent energy became Hell energy]].

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In her backstory, [[BigBad Salem]] is cursed with CompleteImmortality for upsetting the gods. After leaping into the Pools of Annihilation so she can end her curse, she instead transforms into a Grimm-like being of pure destruction. Over time, she develops reddish-black TaintedVeins, implying that her blood runs black with Grimm ooze. [[spoiler:Volume 8 confirms this when Hazel fights her; every time he pulverises her, she "bleeds" Grimm ooze instead of blood.]]

* Roger is revealed to be this in the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode, "Frannie 911"; Fed up with Roger acting like a bratty {{Manchild}} all the time, Francine gives him an ultimatum: Either start being nice or she's kicking him out. And surprisingly enough, [[TookALevelInKindness Roger agrees to...]] But the nicer he is, the sicker he gets, and before long, he's dying. Roger reveals on his deathbed that his race ''needs'' to act like assholes, or their bodies start poisoning themselves, and admits he didn't tell the family because they loved how nice he became. So to save his life, [[StatusQuoIsGod Francine convinces him to be mean again]].

** [[GodOfEvil Discord]] is the antagonist of the second season. He seemed to be [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the embodiment of strife between ponies]] ([[MeaningfulName duh]]), and he has quite the ability to [[TheCorrupter engender it]]. He re-appears in Season 3, where it's eventually revealed to simply be a case of [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove What Is This Thing You Call Love]]: He has existed for so long without ever having a friend that he simply didn't understand what love and friendship were, and had never once considered using his immense power for anything but his own childish amusement. [[HeelFaceTurn He gets better]] thanks to ThePowerOfFriendship. Then the season 7 episode [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E12DiscordantHarmony "Discordant Harmony"]] reveals that, while Discord may not be made of Evil, he certainly is made of Chaos: when he tries to become more orderly to impress Fluttershy, he starts fading from existence, and only gets better when Fluttershy herself makes his house a chaotic mess again.

** Aku himself is this as well. It even serves as his weakness: He's completely incapable of doing anything remotely good, to the point that it makes him predictable and even [[HoistByHisOwnPetard bites him in the behind]] a couple of times when doing good would have benefited him more yet [[StupidEvil he still couldn't help but be evil]].
** In season 5, the Daughters of Aku raise assassins with the sole purpose of destroying Jack. Ashi, the only one who survives against him, is convinced by Jack's actions to pull a HeelFaceTurn and help him defeat Aku. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: it turns out she and her sisters were all this; Aku blessed the Daughters with a chalice of his liquefied essence, which the High Priestess drank before giving birth to the seven girls that would be set against Jack, and when the time comes for Jack and Aku's FinalBattle, Aku uses Ashi's connection to him to [[PeoplePuppets make her fight Jack against her will.]] This works against Aku in the finale, where Jack helps Ashi break free from Aku's control while retaining his powers, and she uses his power of time travel to take Jack back to the past to destroy Aku before his rise to power.]]

* Parodied with Plankton on ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. When he falls into a device that analyzes what things are made of, it declares that he is "1% Evil, 99% Hot Gas".

* Aberrations in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2303 according to the resident expert]]:

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' gives us X-Death/Exdeath/Exodus/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS whatever they're calling him this week]]. He's what happens when one demon too many is [[SealedEvilInACan sealed]] within [[WhenTreesAttack a tree]] and said tree somehow transforms into an ambulatory would-be world conqueror.

* For most of the time in the series, the BigBad is literally Made of Evil, usually described as "a being born from human desires". It goes to the point where there are fans [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks that are unamused by it]].

* In ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'', Mag Mel's armor is revealed to be this. [[spoiler: Code Eve created it from the evil of former BigBad Emperor Barodius and sealed him inside of it.]]

* ''Fanfic/PastSins'': The Corruption in Chapter 17 is defined as evil due to being just an embodiment of jealousy, anger and hatred.

* [[FanFic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse The Dark And Omnipotent Antithesis]] is literally made out of the hatred and dissension between the four Elements of Magic. And since Friendship is Magic in this setting, anti-friendship is also AntiMagic, giving Antithesis the ability to create "null pockets" in which magic doesn't exist.
* ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness'': Shadow demons such as Dark Kuyumaya are described as being forged of nothing but hate and evil, born from the pits of Hell.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'': As the AnthropomorphicPersonification of people's fear of change, [[BigBad Z]] (No relation to [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3 Zanza]]) is entirely comprised of just that. This is shown by darkness literally cracking from his skin and his ultimate form being made of pure dark energy.

* In the ''Literature/{{Confessions}}'', the Manichees believed that all physical matter was made from the "evil body" that caused all suffering. As such, if a Manichee were to lie or whore around, they couldn't be blamed for it, it was just their evil matter taking over from their squeaky clean soul. The way this idea diminishes moral responsibility attracts the youthful and selfish Augustine to the Manichees, at least until he realizes they're full of shit.

Contrast CompleteMonster, a character who is consciously purely immoral instead of being physically composed of immorality -- by definition, characters that are MadeOfEvil lack the agency required for moral judgement, and thus usually cannot become a Complete Monster. The only exceptions are when other characters in the same Made of Evil situation show themselves to be capable of making a successful HeelFaceTurn. Also contrast EvilIsSterile, which implies that something being "made of evil" is a logical contradiction. The [[EvilCounterpart Good Counterpart]] is MadeOfGood.

* Magmatite in ''Videogame/Evolution2BattleForUtopia'' is actually the physical byproduct of the resident [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abomination Xi's]] psionic influence on Utopia, which is why it is the only planet with Magmatite. Its rarer more potent Black Magmatite form can only be found by destroying Altars of Xi, where Xi's influence is at its strongest.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'', Giygas was a [[TheGreys grey alien]] with psychic powers and a particularly sharp hatred of humanity. By the time ''Videogame/{{Earthbound}}'' rolls around though, his hatred and power has grown to such a degree that it literally destroys his physical body and turns him into a floating, indistinct entity of ''pure evil''.
