History Main / VillainSue

** Uchiha Madara. [[spoiler: Considering that if his lecture is anything to go by, he's going to gain the ability to warp reality with his Izanagi, on top of ressurrection, intangibility, dimension dumping, immortality, etc. And the whole 'lose a Sharingan for it' limit is eased by the fact he apparently has hundreds of Sharingan eyes sitting in jars awaiting him to use. And even his lose to Hashirama is being retconned into a victory.]]

* Dartz from ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'''s Doma Arc. He has obscenely overpowered cards, one with infinite attack power, was responsible for almost every major event in world history, was present for the Pharaoh's Memory long before anyone knew anything about it, successfully laid plans to cause one of Atem's few fair losses, has an easy time with MindRape regardless of the victim, comes out of everything as a KarmaHoudini because he was controlled by a demonic beast, ignoring the fact that he ''chose'' to be so and that he was only half-controlled anyway, explaining his mismatching eye colors...did we leave anything out?

** In a similar vein there was another ''WorldOfWarcraft'' fanfic where the antagonist was billed Daala style as a [[InformedAbility skilled tactician and warrior]] without any real indication of it and he would consistently beat the heroes unless their DeusExMachina [[MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours was more powerful than his.]] The author also gave him a FreudianExcuse that was as lame as it was run of the mill (ye olde dead wife). His character was more like an itemized list of the traits of a Villain Sue than an actual character.

* The BigBad Radim from the hentai fantasy manga ''{{Dawn of the Silver Dragon}}'' is a VillainSue of an [[IdiotPlot utterly retarded caliber]]. He sets the plot in motion by doing something that's ''explicitly stated to be thought impossible'' to enslave a member of the Silver Dragons, the in-universe equivalent of a female police officer, then escapes several times through mind-boggling omnipotence and utterly broken powers. This is amplified by the fact that the protagonists seem to be, with one exception, complete idiots and the fact that ''[[VillainWithGoodPublicity the entire government is on his payroll]].''
** It's mostly the other characters' sheer stupidity that's problematic, though; you actually wonder how they managed to reach such a high level in advanced MagiTek device development, considering that virtually everyone save Radim and his [[TheDragon chief henchman]] seems to have at best an IQ of 80 (borderline retardation). Oh, and the only male character who ''isn't'' [[AllMenArePerverts a lecherous sleazeball]] or a pimp/slaver is a LawfulStupid KnightTemplar with acute MoralMyopia.
* Naraku of ''InuYasha''. As the series' main BigBadEvilGuy, he's supposed to be monstrously strong. What he's ''not'' supposed to be is [[DiabolusExMachina a demonic incarnation]] of IAmNotLeftHanded. For most of the series, '''literally''' every time our heroes got an edge or found a secret technique for doing Naraku in, he's either already immune (Finding out what day of the month his human side fully manifests wouldn't work, because Naraku could move it around at will), already countered iter (Found a magical attack that can actually kill me? Too bad [[SoulJar I hid my soul somewhere else]]), or they work but he [[VillainExitStageLeft somehow manages to escape]] easily recovers, [[VivaLaEvolution usually getting stronger in the process]], [[ItOnlyWorksOnce then it never works again]] (Kagome and Inuyasha have both blown his entire goddamn body up only for his NighInvulnerability to [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe suddenly be strong enough]] to let him survive as a head then make a new, stronger body). The fact that these measures [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands often come out of nowhere]] (or at least have little explanation as to why he wouldn't already use them) or take an ungodly huge amount of plot to develop doesn't help.
* The fifth ''{{Naruto}}'' movie has somehow managed to create TWO Villain Sues! The first is [[spoiler: the newly introduced [[SailorEarth Zero-Tails Tailed Beast]] that [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere literally comes out of nowhere with no foreshadowing whatsoever]] and proceeds to beat the crap out of Naruto, HannibalLecture him on his past failures and on how much he sucks without the Nine-Tails, and then forcibly transforms Naruto into his four-tails form against his will!]] And THEN there's [[spoiler: The BigBad of the movie, who is retconned into being the one who taught '''''Orochimaru''''' his Immortality Jutsu. What puts him into [[{{Wallbanger}} OH, COME ON!]] territory is that he fakes his own death, which somehow fools both an expert medical ninja and the goddamn Byakugan, and then, in his inevitable fight with Naruto, he [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique unlocks]] [[HeroicRROD all eight gates]] [[IThoughtItWasForbidden WITHOUT DYING]], and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown gives Naruto one of the worst beatdowns he ever received]]!]] [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow The only reason he loses is because of a]] PlotHole. Thank God the movies aren't canon.
** The sixth movie has the main antoganist, Hiruko. He has [[spoiler:utlized FOUR bloodline limits that were NEVER MENTIONED IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE, his chimera technique. put a mind control spell on KAKASHI HATAKE, can LEVITATE, can copy ANY attack thrown at him, including Raikiri and the Regular rasengan and use both at the same time, and is only defeated by Narutos Rasen Shuriken, which is many times bigger than the regular anime version. Not only that, but he Experimented on many people in the hidden leaf to become the ultimate being. And even as he dies, Kakashi ACTUALLY FORGIVES him simply because he felt sorry for hiruko being weaker than his teamates.]]

*** Then again, Kaiba Corp gets taken over or otherwise endangered pretty much every season. First there was the Big Five and Pegasus, then Noa (and the Big Five again) went after it, Dartz got it, Zigfried nearly wiped its database out with a virus, heck, even Bakura was able to break in to kidnap Mokuba! Really, filler villains are pretty much required by law to attack it at some point.

*** Also, [[YouFailPhysicsForever there IS gravity in space]]. It's just not apparent because everything is falling at the same rate - that's why it's called freefall.

* [[http://lilithborne.wetpaint.com/page/Hinata+Toragami Hinata Toragami]] of ''[[YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh! Negative Zero]]'' is omniscient, undefeated at Duel Monsters, and the heir to a leading ''zaibatsu'' -- and this was ''before'' she got infected with the Light of Ruin. She is also not very nice, although the story stops short at depicting her as evil -- the closest she comes is completely annihilating the main character in a duel and then humiliating him to boot.

** Another such example is Tenma Yakou in ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh R}}''. He's the adopted son of Pegasus and goes after Yugi, believing that Pegasus died by his hand. He has three "Anti-God" cards--one always has an attack power of (strongest monster on the field)+1 (+100 in the actual card game), one that has 4000 Atk / 4000 Def and causes all non-god (or non-anti-god) monsters to suffer a 50% decline in attack and defense, and one that gets 1000 attack points for every card on your opponent's side of the field, and destroys every card on the field when/if it's destroyed. Would you believe he managed to take over the Kaibacorp building?

** Let's not leave out recurring character Uchiha Sasuke. He relies entirely on his [[SuperpowerLottery eye powers]] for absolutely everything. Every woman who sees him falls instantly in [[SoBeautifulItsACurse lust with him]], and every time we hear another characters thoughts around him it's all about how awesome he is. He never appears to have to do any work to gain his increasingly [[AssPull bullshit powers]], and if he's ever in any danger other characters will manifest hitherto unseen and incredibly plot convenient abilities out of their asses to keep him alive. Literally the entire plot [[SpotlightStealingSquad revolves around]] [[ItsAllAboutMe him]].

* ''TheWorldOfDarkness'' features Villain Sues in droves in both its incarnations. From the Antediluvians, the creators of the vampire clans, to the True Fae who steal away human beings. These characters are such sues that a good deal of them don't even have stats. They're just ''that'' powerful.

* The anime adaptation of ''MegaManBattleNetwork'' has the odious Slur, Duo's [[TheDragon Dragon]]. She pretty much orchestrates the whole SeasonalRot that is ''Stream'' by giving out Asteroid Navis to evil people (some EpilepticTrees suggest that she chose evil people on purpose, to convince her master to destroy Earth), and is pretty much undefeatable, no matter how hard the heroes try -- [[spoiler: even ''three'' Program Advances hitting her at the same time couldn't as much as slow her down. In fact, she is only done in by a WallBanger-inducing DeusExMachina]].

* [[Onslaught Comicbook/{{X-Men}}]]. A huge, ridiculously-powered evil self of Professor Xavier and Magneto. As if having the combined powers of Professor Xavier and Magneto wasn't enough, he also gained the powers of Franklin Richards and Nate Grey, effectively making him omnipotent. Attempts to hurt always made him even stronger, things that should have undone his existence (removed Xavier) just made him stronger, and he ended up killing or defeating most of the heroes the Marvel Universe almost effortlessly. He replicates the feats and goals of other better developed villains (building sentinels for one). And he had no real motivation other than just world destruction and genocide of the human race.

** Not to mention how one-dimensional, stereotypical and poorly characterized he is.

* ''[[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} X-Men]]'''s Apocalypse skirts this line in [[strike:a few of]] his stories.

As if having the combined powers of Professor Xavier and Magneto wasn't enough, he also gained the powers of Franklin Richards and Nate Grey, effectively making him omnipotent.

** Interestingly, Courtney was one of the most ''[[EnsembleDarkhorse popular]]'' characters from season one, though she was a bit of a BaseBreaker even then. Even her fans widely derided her CharacterDerailment, and so far at least ''Total Drama World Tour'' seems to be trying to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap Rescue Her From the Scrappy Heap]], giving the villain role back to [[TheLibby Heather]] and newcomer Alejandro.
** Speaking of Alejandro... [[spoiler: Let's see, he managed to eliminate Harold, Bridgette, LeShawna, DJ (in a very harsh way), everyone who has not been eliminated likes him, he saved Owen, Gwen, he's hot, smart, athletic, clever and lucky, can speak at least four languagues, and the only person that can somehow stop him has a crush on him...]]

** Except that now he's joining The Avengers. SoYeah

* Nick Geraci is technically the antagonist of the Mark Winegardner sequels to ''TheGodfather'' (''The Godfather Returns'' and ''The Godfather's Revenge''). In fact, he is effectively the VillainProtagonist, taking up the largest single role in the story. He is a heavyweight champion boxer, a charismatic, incredibly shrewd crook who survives an aircrash that kills two rivals, is able to spot Batista's fall years before it happens, escapes Michael's attempts to have him killed several times and used as a mouthpiece to point out all the mistakes Vito and Michael made. Oh yeah and he kills [[spoiler:Tom Hagen]]. Finally, his memoirs apparently serve as the inspiration for the whole Godfather series.

* Nakago from ''FushigiYuugi''. He spends the entire series being a CompleteMonster ManipulativeBastard, yet [[KarmaHoudini gets to go to heaven anyway]] because [[WordOfGod the author liked him best]].

** [[TheEmpire The Imperium's]] schtick is being a [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption brutal]] [[ApocalypseHow aversion]]. On the above, isn't that necessary for a CosmicHorrorStory?
