* ''[[WesternAnimation/WildCATS Wild C.A.T.s]]'''s "Lives in the Balance": Majestic is [[AdaptationalVillainy far more villainous than his comic counterpart]]. The former commander of the Kherubim forces, Majestic is utterly obsessed with achieving his "destiny" of [[GalacticConqueror conquering the galaxy]] with the help of the [[ArtifactOfDoom Orb]]. In the past, Majestic crashed his spaceship into the Daemonites' spaceship, not caring about the lives of his own men, causing them to crash on Earth, while he escaped. Awakened in the present, Majestic immediately began construction of the Vortex Device, which he planned to use to [[FinalSolution destroy the Daemonites]], simply to eliminate the "competition". Stealing a quantum energy module from the military base, damaging its core in the process, which endangered all the workers there, Majestic used his Vortex Device to lure Helspont to his trap, while he activated it, [[LackOfEmpathy despite knowing]] that thousands of innocent people within that area will be killed along with the Daemonites.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'': [[BigBad Vincent Vladislav ("V.V.") Argost]] is the ArchEnemy of the Saturday family and the [[DepravedKidsShowHost eerie host]] of "Weird World" whose lust for power is only matched by his [[FauxAffablyEvil charismatic flair]] for the theatrical. A [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Himalayan Yeti]] who years ago spent his days hunting and attacking travelers in the mountains, taking trophies from his kills and [[YouKilledMyFather claiming the lives of Drew and Doyle's parents]] during this time, Argost eventually disguised himself as a human so as to better hunt down the legend of Kur. Argost would go on to steal the Kur Stone from the Secret Scientists in a fight that left 43 of his enemies dead, and years later [[TheChessmaster concocted a series of schemes]] to further bring him clues to Kur, from killing the king of Kumari Kandam and spurring the civilization towards war to assisting the Naga in their murderous plans. Eventually draining the power of Kur from Zak Saturday's doppelganger Zak Monday at the cost of the boy's life, Argost hoped to first conquer, then kill, [[KillAllHumans all of humanity]], and nearly murdered Zak Saturday in the exact same way as Monday in an attempt to achieve his goal of subjugation and extermination of all humankind as his grandest "show" yet performed.

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'': [[EmperorScientist Dr. Julian Robotnik]] is the [[BigBad absolute ruler]] of a roboticized Mobius, and is a [[AdaptationalVillainy far more chilling incarnation]] than usual. A ruthless, ambitious backstabber with a series of treacherous moves to his count in the name of self-interest, Robotnik's first betrayal was his [[SealedEvilInACan sealing of the wizard Naugus]] in the Void. Later becoming known to the King of Mobius, Robotnik became instrumental in the King's own military victories before [[TyrantTakesTheHelm deciding to take over Mobius himself]]. Staging a coup d'état and overthrowing the King from Mobotropolis, Robotnik stole the technologies of the Roboticizer from Charles Hedgehog, and used it to forcefully convert almost all of Mobius into a [[CrapsackWorld polluted dystopia]]. [[UnwillingRoboticisation Reducing all of Mobius's inhabitants to his robotic slaves]]--which they morally object to and fight against--Robotnik made fierce enemies with Charles's nephew, Sonic, and the rest of the Freedom Fighters. Robotnik would demonstrate his psychopathic nature again and again, attempting to kill, torture, or otherwise roboticize the Freedom Fighters, happily willing to jeopardize the ecosystem in doing so. Robotnik also [[BadBoss coldly abuses his own minions]], his diminutive, weak-willed nephew Snively among them, and condemns them all to die for the sake of his own life in the finale. An emotion-deficient fear-monger with nary a comedic quirk to his name, Robotnik proved one of the most vicious incarnations of Robotnik seen in the franchise.

** [[AristocratsAreEvil Baron Frederick von Holsing]] from season 2's "The Walls of Tyranny" manages to outdo even recurring villains with his {{greed}} and lack of regard for human life. Von Holsing is a noble in the kingdom of Kengary, which has been at war with a neighboring nation for as long as anyone can remember. When King Ian, Frederick's uncle, makes inroads to initiate a lasting peace, Frederick murders him to [[FrameUp frame their enemies]] and keep the war going. It is revealed that Frederick intends to prolong the war indefinitely so he can take men, women and children as slaves to work to death in his private mines for his personal profit. When Valiant uncovers the plot, Frederick attempts to murder his friends, send Valiant to his mines and [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty kidnap Valiant's female comrade Rowanne]] with the threat of making her his. Vain, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] and greedy, Frederick von Holsing stands as the worst representative of nobility in all the series.
** Sage Advisor Selena from season 2's "The Sage" and "The Rings of Truth" is the TreacherousAdvisor to King Michael of the North. She engineers a civil war, which causes the deaths of several hundred people, to arrange a better puppet figurehead to become king. She also conspires to [[WouldHurtAChild murder an infant]], [[FrameUp frames Rowanne]] for a crime which makes her leave Camelot in disgrace, and turns an invention of peace into a war weapon in an attempt to frame Merlin for a crime. Vain, with no loyalties to anyone but herself, Selena surpassed the [[BigBad Mordred]] in terms of monstrosity.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{The New Adventures|OfJonnyQuest}}'''s "Temple of Gloom": The wicked [[VillainOfTheWeek Deprave]] is from a nation bordering two countries formerly in peace talks. Kidnapping Hadji's kindly mentor, Deprave subjects him to [[MindRape painful mental control]] to use his powers to sabotage the peace talks, with her intention being to [[WarForFunAndProfit force both nations to go to war and completely obliterate one another so she may preside over attempts to pick up the pieces]].

* ''WesternAnimation/DeltaState'': Of all the [[BodySnatcher Rifters]] that appeared in this series, [[BigBad Sven Ragnar]] is easily the worst. Sven is a super Rifter, in charge of the Rifter invasion of the human world, and is opposed by [[MentorArchetype Broody]] and his proteges: Martin, Phillip, Claire and Luna. In his first appearance, Sven [[BadBoss kills one his Rifter minions]] for lounging around in a hotel room instead of performing her appointed tasks. Later he kills a psychic that could detect Rifters, fearing she is a threat to his invasion plans. In another scheme, Sven uses his [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting powers]] to impersonate a hospital administrator, who is pushing a new microchip that would be implanted in the human brain, claiming it had medical benefits, but which in reality this chip simply allows Rifters to take over human minds more quickly. 20% of the patients who received this chip would have been taken over by Rifters, while the rest would die. Sven also kills Martin's father to prevent Martin from discovering his past. Sven decides to torment Phillip, mocking him over the fact that his mother abandoned him. Sven's sister Marie [[HighHeelFaceTurn falls in love]] with Phillip and saves him from Sven's wrath, so Sven kills her. Broody eventually revels that he himself is a Rifter and has been training his students to fight Rifters so they can be powerful enough to [[ThanatosGambit kill him]], before his Rifter energy [[SuperPowerMeltdown overwhelms him]] and causes him to [[EarthShatteringKaboom explode]]. Sven does everything in his power to stop Broody's students from preventing this disaster.

** "Duel": Jack Tenrac meets his old [[FalseFriend friend]] and [[RivalTurnedEvil rival]], Sean Russel. Russel sabotages Tenrac's car and steals a helicopter engine from him. He uses his new helicopter to go to the home of the Grith, [[LizardFolk a race of peaceful sapient lizard creatures]] who communicate through telepathy, and steals the life stone, a gem they need to survive. Russel uses the stone to summon several dinosaurs to a valley. Russel captures Tenrac and says he invited Hammer Terhune and his brothers to come and slaughter both the dinosaurs and the Grith, planning to sell their meat and bones on the black market. Tenrac lectures Russel about selling out the Grith to make a profit and [[IgnoredEpiphany Russel seems to briefly feel guilty over it]], but quickly [[{{Greed}} decides he cares far more about money then his old beliefs]] and continues with his genocidal scheme.

* ''WesternAnimation/BratsOfTheLostNebula'': [[BigBad The Hosts]] are a pair of ancient EnergyBeings who, to maintain their power and immortality, assembled the Shock, a mechanical army which they used to enslave an entity called the Eye. The Eye is ForcedToWatch as the Shock destroys inhabited worlds, with [[EmotionEater its sorrow over the genocides being converted into a special energy that invigorates the Hosts]]. The Hosts have razed thousands of planets and wiped out an untold number of species like the Artisans, a benevolent race whose only remaining member they tortured and brainwashed into becoming their sadistic second-in-command, [[TheHeavy High Commander Hextar Vigar]]. Even though Vigar serves them admirably, obliterating numerous planets at their beck and call, the Hosts treat him with nothing but contempt, and take perverse pride in the fact that they twisted a once good man into a monster who they believe is incapable of loving anything, even himself or the Hosts.

** [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Phaeton]] is the falsely-noble despotic [[BigBad ruler of the Neosapien Empire]] who manipulates his people into throwing their lives away to increase his personal power. Once a Neosapien rebel, Phaeton cowardly sold out his cohorts to save his own skin, then rose to power while ordering the [[KillAllHumans genocide of humanity]] while consolidating his grip on the Neosapiens. Running brutal death camps, Phaeton has any who resist his orders taken there to be killed and proves a horrific war criminal, with tactics including forced starvation and labor. With cloning technology, Phaeton takes advantage of [[WeHaveReserves an unending supply of troops]] and [[BadBoss cruelly executes his commanders]] for even minor failures only to replace and replenish his army. A completely disgusting madman, Phaeton eventually sends so many of his loyal followers to pointless deaths that even his most loyal aide abandons him when he discovers Phaeton's endgame involved wiping out his own race to guarantee victory.

** [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Phaeton]], the [[BigBad ruler]] of the Neosapien empire, uses words like "equality" and pretends to care about the well-being and future of the Neosapiens, but his actions prove this is nothing more than manipulative rhetoric. Before the series started, Phaeton [[FaceHeelTurn sold out the Neosapien rebellion]] to save his own skin, and rises to power by initiating [[KillAllHumans genocide on humanity]], establishing death camps and killing any who resist--and those who don't. His tactics include forcible starvation, forced labor or just nasty executions. [[BadBoss Not even his men are exempt]], as Phaeton is very keen on executing them for minor failures and cloning them. Phaeton's ego and hypocrisy are manifest in how he sends so many of his loyal men to their own deaths on suicidal missions and, at the end, even his most loyal aide Livia deserts him for his plans that would have wiped out his own race to secure his own victory. If Phaeton ever held noble ideals, they're gone by the time he enacts his plan at the start of the series and he grows increasingly evil as he degrades physically and mentally. He is nothing more than a murderous, power-hungry, genocidal, cowardly fascist by the end, and one who would see the galaxy burn for the sake of his own power and advancement.

** [[CatsAreMean Katz]], Courage's most recurring foe, is a ruthless and sadistic SerialKiller. While his motives tend to change, each episode he appears in generally has him using some sort of illegitimate business as a front for committing murders, and his list of past victims is strongly implied to be quite long. In his first appearance, he ran a HellHotel where he fed all his guests to spiders. Other episodes have seen Katz [[BalefulPolymorph transforming the guests of his health spa]] into machines and [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath forcing them to fight to the death]] for his entertainment; attempting to turn Muriel into candy as revenge for her always beating him in a candy-making competition; and trying to blow up a submarine full of people to drive a rival vacation submarine company out of business. Not content with simply killing Courage, Katz sometimes challenges him to some sort of game solely so that he can inflict more physical pain and drag out the dog;s suffering for as long as he can.

* ''[=WinneToons=]'' (a.k.a. ''[=WesToons=]''): [[TheSavageIndian Chief Matto-Sih]], unlike the other largely peaceable Natives, is an arrogant renegade who only cares about wealth, power, and eliminating his rival, Literature/{{Winnetou}}. Matto-Sih conducts violent raids against both settlers and Natives alike, and during one of them nearly kills [[WouldHurtAChild a baby]] with a hail of FlamingArrows. Matto-Sih frequently collaborates with the unscrupulous logger Santer, but just as frequently betrays him, at one point abandoning Santer's men to die in the wilderness while also planning to later dispose of Santer. Matto-Sih has enslaved Winnetou's tribe in order to force them to dig for gold; framed other Natives for potentially deadly attacks on railroad workers; attempted to burn down an entire town full of people; and brainwashed another Chief into siding with him for the sole purpose of using him and his tribesmen as disposable CannonFodder against the U.S. Cavalry.

While she admits that her attempt at reassembling the Earth will probably ravage entire inhabited Blocks and kill thousands, Shinseiki dismissively states that that is [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans a small price to pay]] for "[[ItsAllAboutMe my kingdom]]" and the chance to get back at the Sphere for expelling her from the Guardians. When Dahlia tries to stop her by challenging her to a fair fight without any powers, Shinseiki initially plays along, [[CombatPragmatist but then cheats]] and uses her abilities to try and kill Dahlia and Mahad before attempting to suck the life out of Lena and her other captive Seijins.

When confronted, Corbin implies that he was responsible for the death of Raven's mother, and rants about how he is going to eliminate all of the "mutants and freaks" with his plague, which he also intends to profit off of thanks to his "good fiscal policy" of WithholdingTheCure to diseases in favor of overpriced treatments that are developed as slowly as possible.

When Alebrije goes in search of the Grimsword Root, the Vodnik kidnaps him and sucks his soul out, and attempts to do the same to Leo. Despite his claims of wanting to save children from corruption, The Vodnik was every bit as corrupted as the [[{{Hypocrite}} worst adults himself]].

Refusing offers of peace, Spike brutally attacked and killed Norman's unarmed father before attempting to kill Norman himself. Things went wrong and Spike was buried under the snow for the next 10,000 years, but not before gleefully saying he'd find the boy, kill him and eat his heart. In the present, Spike is no less savage and continues his battle with the now-adult Norman until he is defeated.

When Rico Caliente, a jock who gained SuddenIntelligence from a concussion, loses his newfound intellect and escapes Kindly's clutches before his knowledge can be harvested, Kindly sees it as no big loss, since no one will believe what the boy has to say, and he still has Rico's stolen cold fusion thesis to claim as his own and get rich off of.

Odin, meanwhile, makes his way to Iceland, attacking a submarine and a town in Iceland before making his way into the mountains.

Having convinced hundreds, possibly thousands, of people--including Dr. Holiday, who added her sister Beverly Holiday to Brandon's ranks--that he had made a breakthrough, dozens of intelligent but physically deformed, incurable E.V.O.s lined up to be cured. Instead, they were kidnapped and brought to a lab in the Arctic circle where their mutations were amplified and were ready to be [[{{Greed}} auctioned off to the warlord with the deepest pockets]].

Dr. Gross eventually turned to twisted experiments on sapient beings, with her recklessness accidentally unleashing a virus that killed off two-thirds of all humanity on the islands--to her complete apathy. Escaping the islands, Gross [[EvilutionaryBiologist continued her experiments]], scheming to return to the islands and forcibly augment all humanity into cybernetic abominations like herself, even trying to cut apart Finn and his friends to use as raw material. An unfeeling scientist with [[LackOfEmpathy zero empathy]], Dr. Gross proves that, sometimes, HumansAreTheRealMonsters.

Golo at one point threatens a group of slaves who tries to take a break, while Hang tries to have Korto [[YouHaveFailedMe executed for his failure]] and gets rid of a servant for spilling wine. It's finally revealed that Hang and Golo regularly abduct humans and angels and hook them in pods that [[HumanResources drain their mental energy to power the anti-gravity field]].

** [[BigBad The Lord Commander]] is a [[EvilOverlord tyrannical overlord]] bent on harnessing the powers of Specimen E35-1--otherwise known as Mooncake--in hopes of [[ImmortalitySeeker prolonging his life]]. The Lord Commander [[EstablishingCharacterMoment establishes his viciousness]] by physically contorting the body of a man he was interrogating and tops this by ordering his minions to eat the remains. The Lord Commander would continually demonstrate his madness throughout the series whether by ordering his lieutenants to [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten kill their firstborn children]] as a display of loyalty; massacring an entire crew in order to retrieve Mooncake; manipulating a portion of the Infinity Guard to his cause; or overseeing the construction of a laser designed to expand a breach to space-time. Becoming fierce enemies with the ''Galaxy One'' after maiming Gary Goodspeed, the Lord Commander lures the team to a prison planet.

Believing himself to be a harbinger for the [[EldritchAbomination Titans]], the Lord Commander traps Mooncake in a laser machine which painfully forces him to create a portal to Final Space.

** [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Branden Moses]], from season 2's "A Family Holiday", announced a breakthrough in nanite research that allowed him to dramatically reverse E.V.O. mutations, giving a faux demonstration using an E.V.O. and either an actress with a set of prosthetic tentacles or an E.V.O. with tentacles, playing the part of the "cured E.V.O."

** [[DiabolicalMastermind Dark Kat]] is one of the Swat Kats' most recurring, and wicked, villains. A [[BombThrowingAnarchists complete madman]] obsessed with the death of the Swat Kats and the [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil destruction of Megakat City]], Dark Kat is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] trying to use a [[NukeEm nuclear weapon]] to annihilate Megakat City and its thousands of residents, attempting to force Lieutenant Feral to watch the carnage as it unfolds. Later attempting to turn the Swat Kats into ground meat while using their jet to frame them for opening fire on civilians and blowing up entire buildings, Dark Kat follows this up by convincing Razer he severely wounded innocents to throw him off his game while Dark Kat uses a robotic arachnid to attack and hopefully tear Megakat City to shreds. In his arguably worst outing, Dark Kat makes an alliance with the below-mentioned Dr. Viper, using him to rebuild the Metallikats then install chips in them that [[BadBoss allow Dark Kat to torture them at his leisure]]. Using the Metallikats and Viper, Dark Kat lures the Swat Kats, Feral, and assistant mayor Callie Briggs into a trap to kill them all, ordering the Metallikats to kill Viper when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he outlives his usefulness]], and ultimately attempts to blow up the entire base as a last ditch effort to kill the Swat Kats, their friends, and all of Dark Kat's own allies in one fell swoop.

** The aforementioned [[BigBad SCOPES]] is the sapient presence leading the [[StarfishAliens Genus]] invasion. [[MasterRace Believing that the Genus were superior to humanity]] and seeing human empathy as a weakness, SCOPES seeks to spread the Genus all over the planet and [[KillAllHumans destroy humanity]]. To this end, SCOPES attempts many times to kill the Alienators while taking every opportunity to spread Genus cells across Earth such as trying to use the fallout from a nuclear submarine as well as missiles supplied by General Granger to ensure the evolution of the Genus goes unimpeded. In the finale, SCOPES works with Granger to nuke the moon and spread the Genus cells across Earth, with SCOPES himself planning to spread the moon debris across the universe. When confronted by Ira in the series finale, SCOPES reveals that he has no intention of dividing the world between himself and Granger. Instead, he plans to [[HostileTerraforming change the Earth's atmosphere]] to be inhospitable to humans so that only the Genus could reign supreme.

** In the episode "Duel", Jack Tenrac meets his old [[FalseFriend friend]] and [[RivalTurnedEvil rival]], Sean Russel. Russel sabotages Tenrac's car and steals a helicopter engine from him. He uses his new helicopter to go to the home of the Grith, [[LizardFolk a race of peaceful sapient lizard creatures]] who communicate through telepathy, and steals the life stone, a gem they need to survive. Russel uses the stone to summon several dinosaurs to a valley. Russel captures Tenrac and says he invited the aforementioned Hammer Terhune and his brothers to come and slaughter both the dinosaurs and the Grith, planning to sell their meat and bones on the black market. Tenrac lectures Russel about selling out the Grith to make a profit and [[IgnoredEpiphany Russel seems to briefly feel guilty over it]], but quickly [[{{Greed}} decides he cares far more about money then his old beliefs]] and continues with his genocidal scheme.

** The [[NamesToRunAwayFrom appropriately-named Verminous Skumm]] is a [[RodentsOfUnusualSize humanoid rat-man]] who, despite being far less powerful than the aforementioned Zarm, manages to be just as evil. [[YouDirtyRat Taking a sick pleasure in the polluted and festering]], Skumm's schemes vary from willingly endangering and trying to destroy entire cities, and include deliberately trying to destroy an entire city with a cloud of acid rain and flooding Venice with oversized, carnivorous rats; [[{{Plaguemaster}} peddling mind-altering drugs]] and even murdering Linka's cousin Boris through them; attempting to bait two sides of the UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict into using a nuclear bomb in Jerusalem Mount, as well as bringing nukes into UsefulNotes/TheTroubles and [[UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra apartheid South Africa]]; and attempting to flood the entire world with his "Rat Rot" chemical to turn everyone into his mutated rat slaves. Skumm's end goal is to destroy the civilized world and enslave what remains to his mutated RatMen followers to rule over them all as a king. Happily admitting " I'm ignorance; I'm fear; I'm hate" and taking delight in everything from ruining the life of a single person--a teenager with AIDS--for giggles, to the attempted annihilation of millions of lives, Skumm stands out as the darkest of the recurring Eco-Villains due to his propensity to target people rather than the environment.

** [[InsaneAdmiral General Draconis]] is the Neosapien Governor in charge of Venus. Cruel even by the brutal standards the aforementioned Phaeton has set for their species, Draconis doesn't even have Phaeton's pretense of trying to help the Neosapien people. Everything Draconis does is [[ItsAllAboutMe for his own advancement]]. Draconis enacts a scorched earth campaign on Venus, creating a planet-wide famine that wipes out the majority of the civilian population, with the few survivors sent to toil in forced labor camps. Draconis's treatment of his own race is little better, even murdering two Neo Megas assigned to him as advisors because he felt their "suggestions" undermined his absolute authority. As a contingency if Venus fell out of his control, Draconis rigged a hydrogen bomb to the city of Vesta, intending to spite his enemies by murdering thousands of human civilians. Draconis assigned a noble soldier named [[AntiVillain Thrax]] to detonate the bomb in order to "redeem" himself for showing mercy to an Exo Squad member. Except Draconis lied about there being a timer for the bomb, and once Thrax activated it, he and Draconis's remaining Neosapien soldiers would've died in the resulting blast. Draconis's lust for power was so great, he plotted to [[TheStarscream betray Phaeton and usurp control of the Neosapien Empire for himself]]. He eventually seized his chance by leaving what he thought was Phaeton to die in an exploding ship.

** The aforementioned [[NamesToRunAwayFrom Blackthorne]] Shore is a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive wealthy industrialist]] who came across the secrets of the Inhumanoids. Blackthorne attempts to free them to use them to take control of the world, allowing them to first wreak death and destruction at their whim. When his own sister Sandra is turned into an undead monster by D'Compose, Blackthorne acts horrified--but then abandons the heroes to die when they try to save her so he can take control of Metlar, settling for allying with him to present him with a way to destroy most of the world so Blackthorne can rule over the remainder. After being foiled, Blackthorne eventually starts a {{Cult}} with D'Compose, convincing numerous young men and women to submit themselves to the evil Inhumanoid to be changed into his undead slaves. Blackthorne continues to try to control the Inhumanoids and kill the heroes in his quest to dominate the world, [[CardCarryingVillain fully admitting]] that he himself is an utterly evil, monstrous human being [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters as wicked as any Inhumanoid]].

* ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'': Several of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek one-shot]] villains manage to stand out in evil:
** [[PsychoForHire James Compton]], from "AMOK", is a former special forces operative thought killed-in-action but now working as a freelance mercenary for whoever can hire him. Paid by a private party to investigate a hindrance to the drug trade in Borneo, Compton assumes the identity of "Mitchell Stramm" after his party is seemingly wiped out by the native Amok monster, winning his way into the Quest's family's good graces and finding the village that's been disrupting the drug trade. Smugly betraying the Quests at this point, Compton opts to simply massacre every last native man, woman, and child in the village to remove them as an obstacle, gloating that [[{{Greed}} his employers will pay him handsomely for each head he brings back to them]], attached to the bodies or not.
** The [[HornyDevils succubus/vampire]] known as Elise Lenoir, from "Eclipse", initially appears to [[WoundedGazelleGambit be a victim]], an innocent young woman on the run from evil men. The twist comes when it's revealed Elise was maintaining her youth and beauty by draining the life from beautiful, innocent women, and the man hunting her was trying to avenge his sister when she fell victim to her. Elise murdered the men who tried to tail her, and later mind-controlled Hadji into her slave to bring Jessie to her for her food source. When her right-hand man protested about Elise trying to replace him with Hadji, Elise declared he was right and sucked the life from him as well. When her deadline of an eclipse was approaching, Elise [[VillainousBreakdown abandoned all pretense of charm and subtlety]] and assumed her monstrous true form to kill everyone around and drain Jessie's life.
** Dja'Lang Mukharno, from "Diamonds and Jade", is a puppeteer and brother of Kumar who exploits his people's old traditions for personal benefit. Coaxing his weak-willed brother into routinely selling off a rare gem to greedy buyers, Dja'Lang summons a shadow demon to brutally kill the buyers and anyone else in the premises to keep the money and the gem. Dja'Lang attempts to kill the Quest family and their friend Jade alongside the cops in the area when Jade sets Kumar up, and when Kumar loses the gem to the Quest family, Dja'Lang [[CainAndAbel turns the shadow beast on him]] with full intent to murder him for his failure, laughing that he should have killed him years ago.

** The aforementioned [[AliensAreBastards Vangus]] is the leader of the Ixion Federation, a race of planet-plundering aliens who value oil as an extremely valuable commodity and go from planet to planet draining them dry of their oil. Vangus sets his eyes on Earth and strikes up a deal with the traitorous MIB agent Alpha to invade Earth and steal it of its oil, leaving what remains of the Earth itself for Alpha to dictate. Vangus grows tired of waiting after Alpha postpones the invasion and, after a failed attempt to scout out oil fields which leads to his capture, Vangus breaks out in the series finale and teams up with Alpha to invade the Earth. Vangus sets his forces to obliterate both the UN and the Washington Monument before leading his forces in an all-out invasion on Earth, ravaging cities all across the world. Out of sheer impatience with the continued resistance, Vangus ultimately attempts to detonate a bomb to wipe out all life on Earth to make the planet's oil ooze to the crust, callously betraying Alpha and setting a torpedo en route to Earth with the assurance he'll come back and clean up whatever's left after the attack.

** [[EvilutionaryBiologist Dr. Viper]] was once [[MadScientist Elrod Purvis]], a greedy scientist whose plan to sell the Viper Mutagen to the highest bidder ended with his supposed death and subsequent mutation into the evil Viper. In his schemes to destroy Megakat City and replace it with a festering "Megaswamp City", Viper regularly attempts to mutate and murder all he can through his chemical weapons and monsters; [[TransformationTrauma painfully transforms]] one-shot villain [[AssholeVictim Morbulus]] into a mindless bacteria creature that he sets loose on Megakat City, leading to dozens of deaths, including that of Viper's former colleague Zyme; attempts to drown the entire city in toxic spores; teams up with the aforementioned Dark Kat; and finally floods the city with mutative chemicals in a bid to mutate everyone within the city. Regularly murdering innocents in his attempted conquest and seeing beauty only in the fetid and festering, Dr. Viper was about as remorselessly evil as his sinister appearance would suggest.

** [[TheDragon Prince Bragan]] is the brutal, sociopathic Regent of the kingdom who rose to power thanks to allying with the aforementioned Kwodahn. Murdering his own brother, King Erwann, to ascend to Regent, Bragan immediately begins [[EvilUncle manipulating his child nephew Arthus]] into becoming nothing more than a figurehead, while Bragan rules the kingdom with an iron fist. Driving villages to starvation, massacring entire temples, and torturing his foes being regular atrocities of Bragan's, he also [[FrameUp frames Prince Edwin and his daughter, Djana]], for murdering King Edwin, and constantly tries to execute Djana and her friends in various cruel methods, along with many attempts at slaughtering entire villages they have taken up residence in. Once failing to poison Arthus and claim the throne for himself, Bragan eventually hands Arthus to Kwodahn to with as he pleases, before trying to strike down his partner for ditching him in exchange for Arthus.
