* Dr. Weil from ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' (That guy in the picture) has the dubious honor of being the biggest Complete Monster in the entire 'series. Not even [[VideoGame/MegaMan Wily]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma]] or even ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Regal]]'' (a fellow CompleteMonster himself) can match him in sheer malevolence, insanity and depravity.

*** Keep in mind that Weil existed for only ''two games'' [[spoiler:although you can make it four if you count the ''ZX'' series]], and the rest of his atrocities are only revealed AllThereInTheManual. And yet, it's through those ''two'' games that he quickly gets through to the top of the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil, beating Wily ''and'' Sigma so easily; all because his acts ''during the games'' are horrific ''enough''; mere mention of AllThereInTheManual takes his monstrosity to the [[BeyondTheImpossible extremes.]] His actions and war were SO horrific, that Neo Arcadia actually hid that part of history, going so far as to flood libraries and declaring anyone who found out, a maverick, just so nobody could repeat "Weil's Sin". There's also the little fact that {{Capcom}} tried to humanize Wily and Sigma by [[{{Uncanceled}} uncancelling]] and ([[WhatCouldHaveBeen although scrapped]]) [[{{Retool}} retooling]] their respective series, to directly contrast Weil. That means the developers recognized (in other words, they '''knew''') Weil is the most evil villain in the entire series. SortingAlgorithmOfEvil indeed.

*** And Yet, in spite of probably being closest on the pedestal of evil to Weil, [[BeyondTheImpossible she STILL doesn't hold a candle to him in evilness]].

* The WesternAnimation/MegaMan cartoon had Dr. Wily himself, having attempted to send the moon out of its orbit to kill off most of humanity, forcing the survivors (if there ''were'' any) to consider him king, ''so he could prove he was better than Dr. Light''. This alone doesn't qualify him; he's also tried to use earthquakes to destroy cities, threatening to destroy them if they don't obey, and he's tortured Mega Man mentally twice in the show, first by making him wonder if he's just a mistake created by Dr. Light, the second time '''making Proto Man be a HeelFaceMole''. Even Proto Man considered this act wrong during the plan. And he ordered Proto to kill Mega Man after this.

** Here's the lowdown in case you have to ask ''why'' he's here instead of any of those three. First, between the [[MegaManX Maverick Wars]] and the [[MegaManZero Arcadia Wars]], [[spoiler:there was an incident known as the Elf Wars, triggered by Dr. Weil corrupting the Mother Elf - a sentient superprogram made to eradicate Wily's Maverick/Zero Virus - and made her into the Dark Elf, and used her, along with smaller copies known as Baby Elves and a reprogrammed Zero's body, now christened Omega, to elevate him to a position of absolute power in a campaign of mass terror. Why? [[FantasticRacism Because he, for no good reasons, thinks that humans are superior than Reploids.]] By the time the Elf Wars ended, 60% of all humans and 90% of all Reploids alive before the war were wiped out, the Dark Elf had been entombed with either a massive cipher device or X's body, and Weil was given an undying mechanical body before being jettisoned off into space so he could watch the world prosper without him. This is just the beginning and take note that HE STARTED EVERYTHING.]]

** Even with Omega dead, Weil still rules Neo Arcadia, and his iron- and spike-fisted rule is so brutal that humans are risking going into the wastes of the outside world just to get away from him. Why does he do that? He thinks both humans and Reploids must pay for the crimes they did against him, even if it's blatantly obvious that he is the one at fault! A caravan of such refugees, led by Neige, finds [[NewEden Area Zero]] - the site of the [[MegaManX Eurasia colony crash]] - and begins setting that up as their "home away from home", only for Weil to send troops along to start to interfere with the region's recovery as a diversion while he gets [[KillSat Ragnarok]] up and running. [[spoiler:When Craft [[HeelFaceTurn heel-faces]], blows up Neo Arcadia and then wrecks Ragnarok's cannon controls, Weil tries to [[ColonyDrop drop it on Area Zero]] as a last resort to kill the whole region, if not the whole planet. Zero manages to stop this completely, though unlike in the X series, [[KilledOffForReal this really was his last hurrah]].]]
** Though this last entry may go into WildMassGuessing territory, it is backed by some rather disturbing evidence. [[spoiler:By the actions of all Maverick parties [[MegaManZX after the end of the Arcadia Wars]], there is a very strong possibility that the real BigBad isn't [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Serpent]], [[MagnificentBastard Master Albert]], or even [[TheManBehindTheMan Master Thomas]], but Dr. Weil himself, still alive inside Biometal Model W. Akin to the [[FinalFantasyVII Jenova Reunion]], Albert's plot to become the ultimate Mega Man involved gathering all the pieces of Model W to construct a new weapon with which to cleanse the world as its new god. It is likely he lost his soul to Model W during his initial research in the same way Serpent lost his due to his own use of it. Indeed, the plots of Serpent and Albert in the ZX games, as well as Thomas' coming plot, all parallel Weil's in some fashion.]]
** At the end of the day though...it comes down to this; although he ultimately failed and they won... [[spoiler:Weil killed both X and Zero in a way.]] And he does all that because he thinks if anyone doesn't follow him, they deserve to die. Compare with [[Game/MegaMan Wily]] who just wants to TakeOverTheWorld and stops there (Weil takes over the world... and make the people suffer even more!), [[MegaManX Sigma]] who actually started out as a clean-cut, respected [[TheHero Hero]] but fell victim to TheCorruption, [[WellIntentionedExtremist but still at first tried to do everything for the Reploid's welfare]] (Weil exhibits a very severe case of ItsAllAboutMe, wasn't even a good person at start and cares NOTHING about humans and Reploids all the same). If that's not a reason by itself for a character to a complete monster I don't know what is.

** On the subject of Omega, Zero was originally intended by Albert Wily as an AxCrazy CompleteMonster who [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJeM8G89jOE killed with no remorse and no mercy before the then-Maverick Hunter Sigma knocked him unconscious]]. Then during the Elf Wars, Weil transferred his data into the MegaManZero copy and ironically still turned the original Zero into THE monster Wily exactly wanted to create. In other words, Zero Omega still died a monster in a certain perspective.

* Despite being a sequel series to the light-hearted ''BattleNetwork'', ''MegaManStarForce'' has ''two'' {{Complete Monster}}s.

*** King is even worse. [[spoiler:First of all, he's Joker's operator, so all of Joker's actions can ultimately be traced back to King. Second of all, he is [[ManipulativeBastard willing to use and manipulate anyone for his own good]]. In addition to forcing his own Wizard to self-destruct to defeat his enemies, he adopted orphans and forced them to undertake suicidal missions in order to further his own plans. In fact, it is said that [[BrotherSisterTeam Jack and Tia]] were the only orphans to survive these missions. He then proceeded to take control of [[KillSat Meteor G]] so he could take over the world by force, raining down deadly Noise upon those who would not subjugate themselves to him. However, after [[TheStarscream being betrayed]] [[TheDogBitesBack by]] [[TheMole his subordinates]], King is [[NeverFoundTheBody supposedly]] destroyed, but actually becomes an EnergyBeing, and decides to [[ColonyDrop wipe out the world using Meteor G]] because he figures that if he can't rule the world, he will destroy it. Actually fighting him head on is [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome quite satisfying]], to say the least (every other main villain thus far in both the [[MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network]] and [[MegaManStarForce Star Force]] series has been TheUnfought)]].
* While LighterAndSofter than most other series, ''MegaManBattleNetwork'' has its share of {{Complete Monster}}s:
** Plantman, from the third game, who caused all kinds of mayhem in one of Electopia's main hospitals and was directly responsible for almost causing the death of an innocent child whom series protagonists Lan and Megaman had befriended earlier. His callous disregard of human life is just as infuriating as the fact that he's trying to manipulate his operator, WellIntentionedExtremist Anetta, into becoming just as cruel as he is.

*** And Yet, in spite of probably being closest on the pedestal of evil to Weil, [[BeyondTheImpossible she STILL doesn't hold a candle to him in evilness]].

*** Which makes it VERY satisfying [[spoiler: when Bass impales and kills her with his ''bare arm'' towards the end of the season. Sure, Bass was just serving his own ends as usual at the time, but you will nonetheless still cackle with ''glee'' at her expression during her horrible, well-deserved death]].

** At the end of the day though...it comes down to this; although he ultimately failed and they won... [[spoiler:Weil killed both X and Zero in a way.]] And he does all that because he thinks if anyone doesn't follow him, they deserve to die. Compare with [[Game/MegaMan Wily]] who just wants to TakeOverTheWorld and stops there (Weil takes over the world... and make the people suffer even more!), [[MegaManX Sigma]] who actually started out as a clean-cut, respected [[TheHero Hero]] but fell victim to TheCorruption, [[WellIntentionedExtremist but still at first tried to do everything for the Reploid's welfare]] (Weil exhibits a very severe case of [=~It's All About Me~=], wasn't even a good person at start and cares NOTHING about humans and Reploids all the same). If that's not a reason by itself for a character to a complete monster I don't know what is.

*** Want to know the reason for his [[spoiler:LaserGuidedAmnesia]]? It's because [[spoiler:Lord Wily, his father]], disapproved of Regal's actions and took them away as punishment. Yes, that's right. Even [[spoiler:Lord Wily]], a person notorious for running a cyberterrorist organization as revenge on a scientific rival, and nearly destroying the world as a result of using a [[PsychoPrototype prototype]] [[AIIsACrapshoot computer program to the Internet]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards disapproved of Dr. Regal's actions and made sure he paid for it dearly]]. If even someone like him disapproved of his actions, Regal sat quite nicely in that trope.

** It is difficult to be both a KnightTemplar ''and'' a Complete Monster, but anime-only character Slur, TheDragon to BigBad Duo, delivers. Apart from being an absolutely broken VillainSue, Slur is also fanatically devoted to extermite all evil from the universe... where by "evil" she means everyone who doesn't agree with her master's extremely draconian concept of morality. In other words, Slur wants to kill all humans just because she doesn't like us. And unlike Duo, Slur has no sense of fair play - she deliberately "sabotages" the HumanityOnTrial plot of ''Stream'' by giving Asteroid Navis to evil people, so that Duo will be convinced that Earth doesn't deserve to live. Vicious, sadistic and with no redeeming qualities at all, Slur might very well be the vilest ''Battle Network'' villainess ever.

** It speaks volumes when his dragon (Omega), who has a MONUMENTAL body count worth of people who he has personally killed, isn't considered a CompleteMonster. Then again, his crimes simply amount to being a mechanical [[{{Warhammer40000}} Khorne Berserker]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on 'roids]]. As a matter of fact, the fandom loves Omega in a form of [[{{LoveToHate}} heel hate]]. Contrast with Weil, who the fans simply hate with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

* In the [[Series/MegaMan Ruby-Spears Mega Man show]], Dr. Wily would qualify, having attempted to send the moon out of its orbit to kill off most of humanity, forcing the survivors (if there were any) to consider him king. All this so he could ''prove he was better than Dr. Light''. During the course of the episode he didn't seem willing to stop the moon, either; only Megaman's intervention saved the planet. This alone doesn't qualify him, he's also tried to use earthquakes to ruin cities, threatening to destroy them if they don't obey, and he's tortured Mega Man mentally twice in the show, first by making him wonder if he's just a mistake created by Dr. Light, the second time making Proto Man be a HeelFaceMole; even Proto Man considered this act wrong during the plan.
** And he ordered him to kill Mega Man after this.
