History Main / VillainousIncest

**** According to somee scholars this is the reason for MethuselahSyndrome; inbreeding and the effects of sin have made us the mayflies we are today.

->''"Incest is ''[[AndThatsTerrible wrong!"]]
-->-'''Uncle Gabby''', ''TheDrinkyCrowShow''

* [[CreepyTwins Hansel and Gretel]] from ''BlackLagoon''. (It's with each other...and they're ''[[{{Squick}} k]][[TroublingUnchildhoodBehavior i]][[SickAndWrong d]][[HighOctaneNightmareFuel s.]]'')

* Andrea and Andreas Strucker, the Fenris twins of MarvelComics. And then [[{{ItGotWorse}}it got]] [[{{Squick}} squickier]] after Andrea died.

* Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are in a long term relationship with each other in the UltimateMarvel universe, possibly based on an earlier [[MemeticMutation meme]] originating in the original comic universe. So much so to the point where Pietro actually gets jealous when Wanda hits on a robot.
* In Alan Moore's ''{{Swamp Thing}}'', Abby is unknowingly seduced by her own uncle, the [[CompleteMonster uberevil villain]] Dr. Anton Arcane.

* In some versions of the Arthurian legends Mordred was the son of King Arthur and his half-sister Morgana (swept under the rug in the musical ''{{Camelot}}'' but dramatized in the movie ''{{Excalibur}}''.) However, in an inversion of the usual applications of this trope ''she'' seduced him (using a disguise spell) as part of her XanatosGambit to avenge his father using a similar to have sex with her mother after murdering her father.

[[AC:Fanfiction]]

* In the Fanfic/OneiroiSeries, a OrderOfTheStick series of fanfics, [[SplitPersonalityTakeover Deirdre]] [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon rapes and kills her father, gets pregnant by him, and then manipulates her brother into having sex.]] Most of the other villains think that she's going to do the same to her uncle, too.]]

* Heavily implied in both versions of ''{{Scarface}}''.

* [[spoiler:Noah Cross]] from ''{{Chinatown}}'' famously crossed the MoralEventHorizon into {{Complete Monster}}dom when it was revealed that [[spoiler:he molested Mrs. Mulwray, his own daughter, which resulted in her having a daughter who was her sister as well. He ends up with custody of the inbred kid, who can expect some serious raping of her own, after Mrs. Mulwray gets a bullet in the head. [[ShootTheShaggyDog Not a pleasant ending at all]]]].

* In CruelIntentions, Sarah Michelle Gellar's character promises to sleep with her step-brother if he can deflower an avowed virgin before the summer is over.
* Implied with the [[BigScrewedUpFamily Largos]] in RepoTheGeneticOpera

* In his Wold Newton universe, [[{{Ptitle3tzv6fw4}} Philip José Farmer]] suggests that Carl Peterson (archfoe of BulldogDrummond) and his lover Irma (who sometimes posed as his daughter) were, in fact, father and daughter.

* [[BigBad Lord]] [[HornyDevils Raith]] of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent White Court]] in ''TheDresdenFiles'' has the habit of ''raping'' his daughters into [[MoreThanMindControl submission]], thus amplifying the evil of this trope by making it non-consensual. He kills his sons for being potential "threats," though, despite the fact that this cuts his potential workforce in half and the canonical fact that the [[LesbianVampire Raiths tend not to care about gender]] when it comes to [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean food]]. [[spoiler:Maybe he decided making the extra sexual slaves would have been too much of a drain, since he'd been cursed to be unable to feed and thus die a slow death via starvation. In the end, it doesn't matter, since it's one of his 'not a threat' daughters that [[MindRape turns him into a vegetable.]]]]

* ''And The Ass Saw The Angel'' had an [[CannibalClan incestuous clan]] of {{Serial Killer}}s living up in the hills. The protagonist's father was a defector from this clan.

* In ''[[ChroniclesOfBloodAndStone The Fifth Sorceress]]'', the FaceHeelTurn of [[spoiler: Shailiha]] is made explicit when she makes passes at her captive [[spoiler: brother]], though she doesn't actually get a chance to rape him. [[UnfortunateImplications And also by her becoming bisexual, apparently.]]

* Duchess Alicia clearly lusts ofter her father [[spoiler: [[NotRelatedByBlood who, unknown to her is not actually her father]] and has relations with [[spoiler: The Old Dark Man who actually is, although she thinks he might be her grandfather]] and her half-brother.

* ''BattlestarGalactica'': After erasing her true memories, [[spoiler:John Cavil]] knowingly fraks the scientist who considers herself his mother and created him in the image of her father for extra {{Squick}}.

* Divia in ''{{ForeverKnight}}'', a child vampire who turned her father, proposed this rather forcefully to him. His refusal involved a wooden stake.

* In [[FeyWinds Fey Winds]], two members of [[BigBad Sigurd's]] Minionz, Hansel and Gretel apply.

* Shakespeare's ''RichardIII'' -- and his RealLife counterpart, although the extent of the latter's villainy is widely disputed -- plans to secure himself on the throne by marrying his niece (the daughter of Richard's brother, King Edward IV). In the play, he has his wife killed so that he can do so, although in history she seems to have died of natural causes. (While some relationships that some modern people would consider incestuous -- e.g. marriages between cousins -- were largely considered acceptable among medieval royalty, uncle-niece marriages were definitely taboo.)

* Shinji Matou of ''FateStayNight'' has repeatedly raped his [[spoiler: adopted]] sister, Sakura. In one of the game's routes, this [[TheDogBitesBack comes back to haunt him in a big way.]]

* ''{{BlazBlue}}'' resident {{Jerkass}} Jin Kisaragi has so much creepy HoYay subtext with his brother, Ragna The Bloodedge that it strains the limits of a T-rated game. And if that's not enough, his theme music is titled "Lust Sin."
** And then in Ragna's ending, [[spoiler: there's v-13, a clone of his sister, penetrating him with a sword with all sorts of suggestive dialogue.]]
* One of the major villains in ''[[FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'', Harlan Wade, plays the {{Evilutionary Biologist}} and donates his own DNA (along with that of others) for use in impregnating his own daughter in hopes of producing children with powerful psychic abilities. Another villain, Aristide, calls this development 'sick', even though she herself is a {{Complete Monster}}.

* [[spoiler: Warden Darling]] in ''HouseOfTheDead: OVERKILL''.

* ''CityOfHeroes'': Tyrant and Dominatrix ({{Evil Counterpart}}s to Statesman and Ms. Liberty) had [[{{Parental Incest}} Grandparental Incest]] behind the development team's back. It has since been {{Ret Con}}ned out of the story, after it was pointed out.

* Jackal from ''{{Gargoyles}}'' is a {{Complete Monster}} who, along with his sister Hyena, is one of the most ridiculously {{Ax Crazy}} characters in the Disney canon. However, when Hyena falls in love with {{Humongous Mecha}} Coyote, he seems to find it a little more reprehensible than just a normal big brother would, especially considering it's nothing worse than what he's done, and comes off much more as a jealous {{Stalker with a crush}}. He later got most of his body replaced with cyborg parts, and they end up in a pretty sick love triangle for most of the series.

* ReBoot: While Megabyte's attempt to marry Dot may not seem like incest at first glance, it counts if you understand his origin. He was "born" from an explosion triggered by an experiment [[GoneHorriblyWrong gone wrong]] made by Wellman Matrix (Dot's father), so technically he is Megabyte's father as well. Megabyte even calls the nullifed Wellman "father" and Hexadecimal (Megabyte's sister) calls Dot her sister late in the series. So Megabyte marrying Dot falls under this trope.

* ''[[AdolfHitler Hitler]]''. As if he hadn't already committed every single villain trope humanly possible, it is a little known fact that he was in a romantic relationship with his ''niece.''
** Who ''died under mysterious circumstances'' when he was running for president of Germany (the case was never investigated because the police felt that it would be seen as interfering with the election). It's generally thought that she was DrivenToSuicide.

* In ''The Fall of Numenor'', Pharazon becomes the last king of Numenor by marrying the late king's daughter against her will. She's his first cousin. That he eventually starts worshiping [[{{Satan}} Melkor]] shows a lot about Tolkein's Catholic upbringing, as well as his explination to why the Numenorian succession became such an issue and ultimately failed.

*** According to the Talmud, Cain and Abel each had a twin sister. Cain married Abel's sister, and Seth married Cain's. So it was BrotherSisterIncest.

**** ...Seth?

* Implied with the [[BigMessedUpFamily Largos]] in RepoTheGeneticOpera

* In ''The Fall of Numenor'', Pharazon becomes the last king of Numenor by marrying the late king's daughter against her will. She's his first cousin.
** A borderline case: there are [[ValuesDissonance many cultures]] in which the marriage of first cousins is considered entirely acceptable.
*** [[TheSimpsons After all, they're so attractive!]]
** More than many cultures: in the western democracies the only jurisdictions that make this illegal are about half of the American states.
** It was illegal under Numenorean law. Any doubt the guy is evil is erased once he starts worshiping [[{{Satan}} Melkor]].

** [[spoiler: Miki and Kozue]] may do the same during their car ride, and [[spoiler: Touga and Nanami]] very nearly do.

* Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are in a long term relationship with each other in the UltimateMarvel universe. So much so to the point where Pietro actually gets jealous when Wanda hits on a robot.

* In some versions of the Arthurian legends Modred was the son of King Arthur and his half-sister Morgana (swept under the rug in the musical ''{{Camelot}}'' but dramatized in the movie ''{{Excalibur}}''.) However, in an inversion of the usual applications of this trope ''she'' seduced him (using a disguise spell) as part of her XanatosGambit to avenge his father using a similar to have sex with her mother after murdering her father.

** In the Black family tree the closest couple actually given are second cousins, which is perfectly legal [[strike:in the UK]] ''everywhere''. The Gaunts are another matter entirely...

Contrast IncestIsRelative for when the people involved may or may not know they are related, although these kinds of villains usually don't care.

* [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Magenta and Riffraff.]]

* [[BigBad Lord]] [[HornyDevils Raith]] of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent White Court]] in ''TheDresdenFiles'' has the habit of ''raping'' his daughters into [[MoreThanMindControl submission]], thus amplifying the evil of this trope by making it non-consensual. He kills his sons for being potential 'threats', though, despite the fact that this cuts his potential workforce in half and the canonical fact that the [[LesbianVampire Raiths tend not to care about gender]] when it comes to [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean food]].

In the end, it doesn't matter, since it's one of his 'not a threat' daughters that [[MindRape turns him into a vegetable.]]]]

* ''ParadiseLost'' uses this as part of an extended allegory of Christian beliefs. {{Satan}} has sex with his daughter Sin, who sprang out of head when he came up with the notion of rebelling against God. Their resulting offspring is [[TheGrimReaper Death]].

**** Maybe we started with four.

* While not exactly always villainous, the greek gods are chock full of incest, to the point where Zeus is married to his sister.
** This is quite common in various mythologies. If you're a god and all the gods are related, who else are you gonna marry?

* One AlternateCharacterInterpretation of [[PsychoForHire Azula]], from ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'', is the most messed up, evil, insane character in the entire show, so it's pretty much normal for her to flirt with every person she encounters, including the rival, the rival's best friends, her friends, her prisoners and ''especially'' her [[BrotherSisterIncest own brother]].

** Who ''died under mysterious circumstances'' when he was running for president of Germany (the case was never investigated because the police felt that it would be seen as interfering with the election.) It's generally thought that she was DrivenToSuicide.

* While it was implicated throughout the franchise that the family ''may'' have been committing incest, the comic ''TheTexasChainsawMassacre: Raising Cain'' outright stated it. After one family member's wife is killed (in part, by him) he nonchalantly states he has plenty of other sisters he can marry, also indicating he and the rest of the family [[CrossesTheLineTwice are going to eat the dead one]] ("Meat should never go to waste!")

** This Troper is currently writing a series of short stories based on fairy tales, with one already posted on [[http://trivun.deviantart.com/art/Red-Riding-Hood-146431723 'tehz interwebz']]. The second planned story is Hansel and Gretel. The story already has [[BrotherSisterIncest subtle hints of incest,]] cold-blooded murder, kidnapping and abandonment, [[AxCrazy psycho protagonists,]] [[MagnificentBastard manipulation]], and more [[VillainousIncest 'doing of the nasty']] than you can shake a stick at...

* Mother-and-son team of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent shapeshifting energy vampires]] from ''Stephen King's Sleepwalkers''. Of course, not being human, they may lack this particular taboo, SoYeah.

* The Duet, rulers of the Seven Kingdoms in Morgan Llewellyn and Michael Scott's ''Arcana'' series.

*** Cain married one of the Other People. http://www.paganlibrary.com/fundies/other_people.php
