History Main / VillainProtagonist

* Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin. While there's no question that he was an AntiHero from 1998 onward, it could be argued that he was basically this in 1997. Although the crowd was firmly on his side against the Hart Foundation, he acted like the same vicious heel he had always been - beating up on babyfaces, even the ones who helped him. When [[Wrestling/MickFoley Mankind]] helped him in a handicap match, for example, he hugged him and then gave him a Stunner and told him he'd never work with a freak like him. When he was forced to relinquish the Intercontinental and Tag Team Titles [[RealLifeWritesThePlot thanks to his neck injury]], he made a hitlist of the three main authority figures (lead announcer Wrestling/JimRoss, Commissioner Wrestling/SgtSlaughter, and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon) and made sure to beat them all up while mocking them for it the whole time. Mind you, they were all babyfaces and were looking out for his safety. Just 18 months earlier, that same type of storyline was used to get Wrestling/{{Vader}} over as a monster heel. RealLifeWritesThePlot intervened to create a brilliant HeelFaceTurn against Wrestling/BretHart (who did a FaceHeelTurn in the same match), and Austin became the number one most popular guy in the golden era of wrestling.

* ''VisualNovel/AtlachNacha'', where the protagonist Hatsune is a [[ImAHumanitarian humanitarian]] GiantSpider who lusts after [[GirlsLove tender young schoolgirls]] to replenish her energy and fight HeroAntagonist Shirogane, though she can be played as a NominalHero, [[spoiler:and Shirogane himself is the true BigBad who made her that way]].

* ''FanFic/AllForLuz'': All For One is the main {{Deuteragonist}} of the story to Luz Noceds and a straight up supervillain. He acts as Luz's EvilMentor inside her MentalWorld who secretly plans to take over TheMultiverse through the girl.

* Many YoutubePoop and {{Website/GoAnimate}} protagonists will murder, rape, and do all kinds of horrific things for little to no reason.

* The protagonists of [[Fanfic/TheCATverse the [=CATverse=]]] are Captain, Al, and Techie, three henchgirls/hangers-on of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} the Scarecrow]]. Since their actions are generally PlayedForLaughs (albeit BlackComedy) and the girls themselves are [[AffablyEvil quirky and likeable characters]], it's easy to forget that the trio commit robberies, regularly abduct innocent people to be experimented on by their supervillain employer, and commit the occasional murder. The Scarecrow himself, a supporting protagonist, is a full-blown supervillain who tortures civilians ForScience, isn't too picky about [[KickTheDog who he hurts]], is prone to vicious DisproportionateRetribution, and lacks his henchgirls' AffablyEvil traits.

* ''Franchise/XMen'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/DevilsDiary'' is told from ComicBook/{{Magneto}}'s point of view and delves into his inner thoughts and motivations, as well as his firm belief that becoming a dictator is the only way to save his people.

* The webseries ''WebAnimation/GothamGirls'' stars four of Franchise/{{Batman}}'s most prominent supporting ladies. One of them is the vigilante superhero Batgirl... and the other three are jewel thief Catwoman, eco-terrorist Poison Ivy and supporting henchgirl Harley Quinn. Their shenanigans can be entertaining, but they never let up with the thievery and crime.

* ''WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats'': Carl is an AxeCrazy psychopath who slaughters crews ships, nukes cities, mutilates babies to steal their hands, and eventually goes on to [[spoiler:end all life on Earth]].
