Adaptational Villainy in Fan Works Crossovers.
- In A Ninja's Guide to Gotham, Ra's al Ghul is in this camp. In the film, he serves only as The Atoner and Mr. Exposition regarding the details of Jason's revival and subsequent rampage. In this story, Konoha shinobi observing Gotham confirm that Ra's al Ghul is one of the driving forces behind Kei and Hayate's inter-world kidnapping, even if they don't know his name or his motives. His assassins stalk Kei across Gotham and repeatedly drive her out of hiding places, even using firebombs, and are the only people on the Gotham side of the story who are aware of her demon possession status without being told.
- A New Problem the scrapped characters in The Problem Solverz seemed to be chill people, but in this story, they are the main villains.
- A Supe of a Man adds Clark Kent to the universe of The Boys (2019), with the Kents forced to allow Vought to sponsor Clark as a hero as they needed help from Martha's sister Mary (who works in Vought's legal department) to facilitate Clark's adoption. By the time Clark's a teenager, although he does his best to be an actual hero despite nearly the rest of his team, the Young Americans, only being interested in publicity, Lana Lang- normally one of Clark Kent's oldest and closest friends in most canon interpretations- has become a teenage tabloid queen who is clearly only dating Clark to get publicity for herself even though Clark doesn't like her that much any more.
- All For Luz: On the show, Perry Porter is only a TV reporter, here in the story he's Living a Double Life: as a follower of All For One and runs Deadly Game tournament where its okay to kill people in. Unbeknownst to most, he's trying to recreate the Nomu and is collecting corpses from those who die in the Underdark Tournament for it.
- AWE Arcadia Bay (Rogue_Demon):
- While Sean Prescott was a ruthless capitalist seeking to gentrify Arcadia Bay and was an abusive dad to his son Nathan in Life Is Strange, here he's revealed to have been fully aware of Jefferson's "activities" and is involved in a Cult dealing in paranatural phenomena and is an enemy of the Bureau. He also confesses to Nathan that he sent Jefferson to try and kill him for his failure, literally throwing him at Jefferson's feet.
- While Mark Jefferson was a Serial Killer and a Sadist who drugged and photographed innocent women, here he's also involved in Sean Prescott's paranatural criminal enterprise, his "art" all a part of an experiment to create an Object of Power.
- In Authors Note, Sonic the Hedgehog murders a man for stealing wallets, even though in the original series he was an All-Loving Hero. Though to be fair, that guy was also the King of Hell.
- In Bread Flubs Fraz Flub from The Brothers Flub is a villain instead of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. However the reason is because he was beaten down by the world until the last straw (caused by SwaySway destroying his hologram machine by accident) broke the camel's back. He ends up getting better and regretting his actions and becomes one of the main cast.
- In the MLP/Green Lantern crossover In Brightest Day, this treatment gets applied to Mitta and Ruby. In the canon of Story of the Blanks, both were in fact friendly and helpful towards Apple Bloom. However in this story, while Ruby feels constant remorse and guilt for her horrific actions, Mitta seems to be completely villainous and relishing in the pain and suffering of her victims. The reason of this has yet to be explained...
- broken dimensions: Harold Wilson was already a Jerkass in the original show, but here he is the second identity of The Green Goblin, who has helped three supervillains to break out from prison and organized with them a plan to send the city into chaos, killed many host and employers of a hotel, and has many attemps of kill Gumball.
- The Chaotic Masters:
- The titular Big Bad Duumvirate had a habit during their original reign of seducing heroic women into joining their harems and acting as enforcers after they destroyed their own kingdoms, including Jasmine, Snow White, Cinderella, Megara, Rapunzel, Merida, and Mulan.
- Most of the Guardians of Kandrakar are devout practitioners of Chaostism (the Religion of Evil that worships the Masters), as is Irma's mother Anna, and they all influence Elyon towards sharing their worship instead of siding with her mother's reforms, which would outlaw the religion.
- Citadel of the Heart does this to Ruki's biological father, even though he hasn't made a direct appearance thus far and does this to an Exaggerated degree that's Justified due to his O.C. Stand-in nature. In the original source material, he's just Ruki's divorced father who doesn't get to see her much, and next to nothing else is important about him. In Digimon Re: Tamers' part of Citadel Of The Heart, Ruki's father is a Sociopathic Soldier who became a Professional Killer while having a Sadist streak to his Blood Lust, and also the fact he manipulates Ruki into following deliberately setting up a Clueless Mystery with the ultimate end goal of raping her once she turns 18. Fun fact; he's the first flat out rapist in the fic thus far.
- Code Prime:
- The Britannian Empire were already the main villains in the canonical setting, however here they're more villainous due to working with the Decepticons throughout R1, and Megatron being a former mentor to Charles zi Britannia.
- In canon, Rolo was Lelouch's false brother after the latter had his memories rewritten before performing a Heel–Face Turn and a Heroic Sacrifice due to the kindness Lelouch showed him as "brothers". Here, due to Lelouch never getting his memories rewritten, Rolo remains with the Geass Order and is later made a Headmaster under Megatron's command.
- Megatron is always a nasty piece of work, but this version definitely outdoes his original Aligned incarnation when it comes to being evil. A number of events he's been behind include setting Charles zi Britannia on the path of evil as his mentor, manipulating Suzaku to join the Decepticons and later forcing his obedience by threatening Lelouch and Nunnally, kidnapping Euphemia and orchestrating the SAZ Massacre, and being directly responsible for Skyquake's death. At the end of the story, he makes his last bid for power by unleashing Neo Ragnarok only to get killed off by Lelouch and (supposedly) erased from existence; he doesn't make his Prime counterpart's Heel Realization.
- Downplayed with Airachnid, She's just as evil and depraved as she was in canon, but her crimes and actions are shown in more gruesome detail than they were in the show.
- While Mao still has his sympathetic backstory like in canon, he destroys any sympathy for himself by aligning himself with the Decepticons so he can have C.C. for himself, and also tries to destroy Ashford with a Sutherland after implying a desire to have C.C., Cornelia and Euphemia as sex slaves.
- It's not entirely surprising that Daria's Sandi would get this treatment in the crossover fic Daria in Morrowind. She's overtly racist and willing to use violence. That said, she acts more dangerous and powerful than she really is.
- Digimon Codex:
- In his home series, Jet Set was just a minor jerk, whose worst actions were talking down to others, but didn't really do anything to directly cause trouble. Here though, he is much more of a direct bully, generally acts as the main instigator of trouble among Codex Players, and when he was first introduced he planned to somehow steal Veemon from Flash Sentry for himself, and later succeeds, but only temporarily
- Wormmon and Stingmon both receive this to different extents.
- In the anime, Wormmon tried to be a Morality Pet to his partner Ken Ichijouji, but was technically an Accomplice by Inaction and admitted to being just as guilty as Ken because of it. Here however, Hudiemon has an entire army of loyal Wormmon who serve her without question, with them directly capturing Flash and Veemon, showing Fantastic Racism to Flash for being a human, and cheering loudly when Veemon fights for his life against Stingmon.
- Stingmon acted as Wormmon's Redemption Promotion, having Digivolved into him after Ken's Heel–Face Turn. Here though, he shows none of the heroic qualities he did in the anime, being Huiemon's greatest warrior and showing no mercy as he pummels Veemon.
- WarGrowlmon was one of the main protagonists in Digimon Tamers due to being the Ultimate of Guilmon and partnered with Takato. Here, he serves as one of the main antagonists of the first story, being the leader of the Virus Army and seeking one of the Dragon Soul Stones so he can Digivolve into the evil Megidramon and destroy the Digital World..
- In Fairy Tail, Karen Lilica was Aries and Leo's/Loke's previous master, who abused Aries until she was killed by Angel. In the Fairy Tail/One Piece Fusion Fic A different Set Of Keys
, she is a dark mage and the Master of the Oceanus Spirit Blackbeard, having killed summoners to steal their spirits for Blackbeard to absorb. One of these summoners was Sabo, forcing Ace and Luffy to go into hiding and find comrades to help them while Karen keeps their Cabin Keys captive. - Beldam in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was a senile old lady who constantly insulted Vivian and blamed for things that were her own fault, but eventually repents. Beldam in Edventure Of The Thousand Year Door is an outright sadist who physically abuses Vivian, possesses Nazz in an attempt to kill the main group, slaughters several members of Rolf's people and even brainwashes her other sister Marilyn and Dooplis.
- An Extraordinary Journey:
- Pete Shanahan, Sam's boyfriend/fiancé in the seventh and eighth seasons of SG-1 ; while he was a decent person overall in canon, here he often attempts to subtly manipulate Sam's emotions to get her to resign from the SGC so that she can basically 'devote' herself to being his wife. This escalates to the point that he basically tricks her into becoming pregnant by sabotaging her protection methods in the hope that she will resign after giving birth, only for Willow Rosenberg to sense Pete's true intentions and reveal the truth to Sam. Learning of Pete's plans, Sam divorces him and gets him put on the sex offenders register, which costs him his job and forces him to move in with his parents. When Pete later attempts to abduct Sam's daughter Debra—shooting Jacob Carter in the process—the SGC fakes Pete's death by using a clone of him to stage a thwarted home invasion and then exile Pete to another planet with a broken DHD and no other sentient life; they will send him supplies for the first six months, after which he will have to fend for himself.
- Once Earth makes contact with the Twelve Colonies, this arguably applies to Admiral Helena Cain; not only does she retain her canon fixation on vengeance on the Cylons at the cost of her very humanity, but she later goes against Adama and Roslin to join the forces of the Ori just because they promised to destroy the Cylons, to the point that Cain becomes a Prior of the Ori.
- Quentin Travers, head of the Watchers' Council, counts in both the main story and the Recursive Fanfiction The Faith Chronicles. He wasn't exactly a good guy in Buffy canon, but he certainly didn't try to mind control Slayers (main story) or kidnap babies (The Faith Chronicles).
- Kennedy from the Recursive Fanfiction The Faith Chronicles is willing to manipulate Willow into killing a transformed Oz and later turns Willow into a Manchurian Agent with the goal of using her to kill Faith.
- Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters:
- Cedric was loyal to Phobos in Season 1 of canon and only turned on him in Season 2. Here, he's manipulating and plotting against him from the start.
- Harold Hale, a completely decent person in both the TV and comic versions of W.I.T.C.H. canon, is an affiliate of the Dark Hand here, in a I Did What I Had to Do sort of way. Cornelia eventually convinces him to switch sides... except not really.
- Drake is a straightly heroic Rebellion member in canon. Here, he's actually Cyrus Ludmoore in disguise, manipulating the Rebellion for his family's plan.
- Aldarn is much more aggressive than in canon, which culminates in him plotting against Caleb for compromising with the nobility.
- Halloween Unspectacular: Several of the Elseworld stories featured in the series involve normally heroic characters getting put into villainous roles; for just two examples, the stern but ultimately well-meaning Mr. Lancer is an immortality-seeking cultist in "Demon's Land", and the kindhearted Arnold Shortman is an undercover Capone hitman in "The Gift".
- Harbinger (Finmonster): While the Lunch Lady Ghost is already a bad guy in the series, she was nowhere near as vile as in this universe: when she was alive, she killed several students and fed them to the others as "mystery meat", and was caught chewing on an arm when they figured out what she was doing.
- In Harmony's Warriors, a rather expansive crossover between My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many friendly side characters or background ponies are full villains, including Fancy Pants, Snowflake, Cheerilee, Carrot Cake, Fleur de Lis, Gustav, Hoity Toity, and Filthy Rich.
- Fullmetal Alchemist/Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover Help from afar: The generic Fire Nation Mooks get this as a product of the setting being a bit darker due to its crossover. They were genocidal fascists in both canon and here, but none of them did any Attempted Rape in the actual show.
- In Heroes DxD: This is our story, Sir Nighteye is far worse than his canon jerk self. He downright hates anything related to the supernatural, to the point he tricks Mirio in attempting to kill Sammy and Yui, who didn't even KNOW he was a devil! He's also responsible for letting the Twilight Killer loose and sent thugs to kidnapped Inko Midoriya. And that's just the START!
- Infinity Train: Blossomverse: Many characters go from average folk to downright malicious entities.
- In Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail, The Apex are a much more malicious group here than in canon, where they were more along the lines of brutal scavengers. Played With: Then again, in "The Mall Car," they were excited to attack MT and rope Alan Dracula up, with Grace and Simon proudly telling Jesse that they were going to kill them all along and she summoned the Mirror Cops to mirror MT "for his own good." This suggests in canon that they killed many denizens in the past this way, all under the idea of "protection" and Grace and Simon's originaly plan was to lead Hazel and Tuba back to the Mall Car so that the larger numbers can drag Tuba off to the wheels to kill her. This was further implied when Grace hallucinated Hazel in "The Origami Car," and she angrily reminded Grace that Simon did not come up with the idea of wheeling denizens by himself.
- Played With. Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily — which takes place months before Book 3/Blossoming Trail begins — shows Grace Monroe at her worst when she murders Utahoshi with her celestial bronze knife in front of Tokio and casually plays it off as her "saving" him with a reply about his death being a callous "So what?". However, this is not making her worse than she was in canon. Rather, this allows the reader to see her at her worst before she was redeemed.
- As bad as Simon Laurent was in canon, he's even worse here; instead of ending up as tragic villain, he becomes an even worse monster.
- In canon, he was a proud member of the Apex, a group of passengers that was convinced that numbers mean strength, that would harm and kill denizens in their way. He got worse in season 3; at first, it appears he was changing for the better, being concern that Grace's number is becoming lower, and then it seems that he was bonding with Tuba. Then he murders Tuba in cold blood and brags about it to Grace and Hazel. Things get worse in the second half of the season, where he learns that Hazel is a denizen and Grace was keeping that a secret. When Hazel left, he turns on Grace, takes control of the Apex, and tries to wheel Grace; even when Grace saves his life, he betrays her and eventually was killed by a Ghom. Despite that, he was still sympathetic become it clear that he was still dealing with the trauma of being abandon by the Cat, and he was destroying himself. And despite himself, it is clear that Simon feels guilty for his actions and betraying Grace, and still cares for her.
- In this story, in addition to his more despicable crimes like kicking Paul while he's down, willing making a deal Walter to become more than human, transforming into a dragon and trying to kill Grace and everyone, making it clear he does not care for her and the Apex kids anymore. Finally, after mocking Sean — one of the Apex kids for dying — and then killing Tuba and Chloe by dropping them to their deaths without a single shred of empathy pretty much proved that you could make Simon even more of an asshole. What makes Simon even worse is that in canon, it was clear that he was destroying himself and, despite himself, does feel guilty for his actions. In this story, it is clear that he has no guilt for his actions, and he is not doing this because of trauma from his past, rather with no regrets, he's embracing being a monster and is willing to destroy everyone, even the people he once loved to be right and strong.
- Henry was the protagonist and hero of Silent Hill 4. Here, he's sacrificing people with his husband Walter.
- Eventually Parker Cerise becomes one of the main antagonists of Arc 2, alongside his creation. Especially jarring as canonically the worst Parker has done is being a little bratty, but besides that is nothing but a regular kid.
- This Goh Fujihachi crosses some lines that his canon self would certainly note: ranging from trying to break up Ash and Trip to spite the former to throwing Malicious Slander about Chloe on the internet, whereas in canon he's at worst socially withdrawn and even that didn't last as a trait of his. Though it's worth nothing that he never went through with it, not in the main story or almost all of the possible futures Parker sees.
- The absolute worst canon Yeardley Lobelia ever did was say his Innocently Insensitive line ("My life is work in progress" compared to the classmates talking over Chloe on whether or not she'll get into Pokémon). This Yeardley is a bully who took active part in making Chloe miserable, even going so far as to break her arm .
- Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger: Darth Nihilus is much, much worse in this fic than his Legends counterpart ever was. In the games, Nihilus was a Tragic Villain being forced to consume planets by his Horror Hunger and it's unknown whether he was truly evil or not. Here, he is a card-carrying Dark Lord that actively seeks to bring about the end of the universe by devouring all life. This version also encourages rape and enjoys making other people suffer to the point where he will go out of his way to Kick the Dog.
- Dib in Kingdom Crossovers is the replacement of Riku, and thus follows the same path as him.
- Last Child of Krypton: Kaworu's role and personality greatly changes between both versions of the story: while in the original he is forced to fight Shinji via Brainwashed and Crazy (and before and after the fight he is a very useful ally), the Redux version starts as a slimy bastard and only gets more horrible as it goes, going from lusting after Asuka to want to kill her only to piss Shinji off.
- The legendary Saiyan in a fairy's world: In addition to his canon crimes, Duke Everlue also helped wipe out a village for a share of its gold.
- In the Infinity Crisis spin-off Of Kryptonians and Queens, this basically applies to Etrigan; his status as a 'hero' in canon has always been somewhat questionable, but here he is explicitly on Morgana's side as Jason Blood resents Merlin for bonding him to Etrigan.
- In the Once Upon a Time/Mr. Right fanfic Love at First Sight (Once Upon a Time), Neal is one of Emma's love interests in the show. Here, he works for Jekyll and tries to kill both Emma and Regina, even bragging about killing a turtle for fun.
- The Dragon and the Bow: Alvin the Treacherous. When he eventually appeared in Dragons: Riders of Berk, Alvin initially appeared to be a main villain, but after being betrayed by Dagur the Deranged, he buries the hatchet with Stoick, and pulls a Heel–Face Turn. This version has more in common with his book counterpart, and is therefore an untrustworthy backstabber. He killed Hiccup's mother by shoving her over a cliff and blaming it on the dragons, and it's implied that he'll take over the remaining Vendal after the death of Mor'du.
- Mor'du himself. In Brave canon, he regretted killing his brothers and destroying his kingdom as the Demon Bear, and thanked Merida for setting his soul free. Here, he's an unrepentant barbaric warlord and proud enforcer of his father, the Red Death.
- Also, the Red Death. In canon, it was already an antagonist towards Vikings and dragons, but it didn't appear to be more intelligent than any other dragon. Here, he can speak, and therefore displays more personality, and by extension, more villainy. It's also heavily implied that he raped Hilde to beget Mor'du.
- A downplayed version with Merida. While she was never happy with her intended suitors in canon, here, Merida tries to have Hiccup killed in a Duel to the Death with Wee Dingwall to get out of marrying him. And when that fails, she gets her brothers to bring her bow, so she can try to kill Hiccup herself. Thankfully, he stops her from killing him and she gets better.
- The Last of Us Series: Due to being combined with David, Robin is reimagined here as a sadistic cannibal and rapist rather than the Nice Guy that he is in canon.
- The Marvelous World Of DC: Granted, The Spectre has always bounced between good and evil Depending on the Writer, but here, he's a straight-up murderous lunatic who has long since deviated from his God-assigned task of punishing the evil. Now he just wants to kill every living magic user, even if they're not evil themselves. No wonder the Wizarding World put up the Statute of Secrecy.
- The Matrix Rewinds:
- While Mark Jefferson and Nathan (and Sean) Prescott were already horrible people in canon, here they are programs that help run Arcadia Bay, New Zion knowing Jefferson as "The Artist" who actually designed the prison in the first place.
- While David Madsen was an abusive asshole and a paranoid Control Freak, he still wanted to be a good stepfather to Chloe and meant well as far as everyone's safety was concerned, even if he was terrible at expressing both. Here, it's revealed that he's a program, the Arcadia Bay equivalent of an Agent, that would kill the red-pills on sight given the chance.
- Aliens/Once Upon a Time fanfic Monsters: Robin in the show is a good guy, Regina's love interest, and an all-around Nice Guy. Here, Robin is a greedy and self-centered businessman who shows no remorse for getting the colony massacred and has no problem trying to kill everyone in his group in order to try to get the creature to Earth and use it as a weapon.
- Monstrous Compendium Online: Kayaba is much worse than in canon, because instead of a human game designer with a bizarre dream for another world, he's an ancient dragon with a very specific goal to fulfill a prophecy. It's noted several times that the only reason the game is technically fair is because it has to be for his plan to work, and Kirito forces him into the final duel by trapping him with the boss mechanics. Kayaba would have left without a care in the world if he had been capable.
- In Necessary to Win, Anchovy of Anzio is based on her manga counterpart, and as such, is a Sore Loser who criticizes Miho's decision to save one of her school's tanks at the cost of winning the tournament. On the other hand, she does go through some Character Development and gains respect for Oarai, unlike in the manga.
- In Once Upon a Supernatural Time, there are various examples of this after the Winchesters arrive in Storybrooke;
- With Dean now Emma’s romantic interest, Hook remains a more active villain for Cora.
- Archie is briefly possessed by a demon until Sam and David manage to exorcise it.
- Doctor Whale becomes the new ‘host’ for the Horseman of Pestilence.
- In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Persona crossover Persona EG:
- Fluttershy is this of all people. She only acts shy and friendly around others, but actually keeps her dark side hidden. Though glimpses of her true self are hinted at before she is discovered. She became a cyberbully after she was bullied one too many times, but took it too far and accidentally crippled a teacher once. She is eventually revealed as the dark persona user, Eris, and her friends were all shocked to discover her reasons behind doing this. Though Character Development eventually turns her just as nice and caring as her canon self, if with a little more snark.
- Babs Seed and Pinkie's parents count too. Babs was only a bully in the show to avoid being bullied herself, but she is described here as being worse than Diamond Tiara, actually hitting people and smoking in the bathroom. Pinkie's parents, despite being old fashioned, accept their strange daughter in the show, but here they are complete jerks who treat her as The Un Favourite and eventually disown her entirely.
- In the RWBY/Doom crossover Remnant Inferis: DOOM, certain characters, such as Gretchen Rainart and Professor Peach, are revealed to be in league with the legions of Hell and plotting the downfall of Remnant.
- The Loud House/Cthulhu Mythos crossover fic Revival. Blue-and-Orange Morality is not an issue when it comes to these two gods:
- Yog-Sothoth is typically depicted as being ignorant of its actions and grants whoever summons it knowledge at a heavy cost. In the two fics, however, Yog-Sothoth is depicted as being a nigh-omniscient being who is largely indifferent about mankind and actively tries to destroy it. While he is still summoned in the sequel for Revival, he does so as a means of teaming up with the Loud family to take Hastur down. Once Hastur is defeated, Yog-Sothoth tries to force the reincarnated Cthulhu to stage the Earth's destruction.
- Hastur aspires to terraform the Earth to take it over and uses his Yellow Sign to accomplish this.
- Various examples of this occur in Spider-X, where Spider-Man joins the X-Men in the X-Men: Evolution series; aside from the obvious example of Gambit and Colossus being members of Magneto's Acolytes as in the original series, a few Spidey-focused villains have undergone a comparative ‘upgrade’ in villainy;
- In the comics Electro was powerful, but somewhat dim and fairly direct in his use of his abilities against active opponents, whereas this version is not only determined to prove himself intellectually, but is also outright abusive, beating his ‘girlfriend’ Tabitha when she starts defying him and rendering at least two people brain-dead.
- Comes up a few times with Black Cat as the story unfolds; while she developed a flirtatious relationship with Spider-Man in the comics, in this version she soon abandons this interest due to his explicit rejection of her in favour of Rogue, to the point where she is now actively working for the Kingpin as a double agent in Magneto’s Brotherhood.
- In the comics Eddie Brock was "justifiably" angry at Spider-Man for indirectly ruining his career (in the sense that Spider-Man did cause him problems even if that wasn't out of any deliberate malice), but this version also has a racist attitude towards mutants, attributed to the suit being angry at Peter rejecting it in favour of the X-Men.
- In Steven Universe: and the Hunters of Arcadia, Jamie the Mailman is revealed to be a changeling spy sent by the Janus Order to gather intel on all of the magical weirdness in Beach City.
- There Was Once an Avenger From Krypton:
- The Fantastic Four begin as criminals here, though they are doing so against their will, and quickly switch sides when give an opportunity. And then there's the alternate Reed Richards working with Doom in his Retconjuration plan, who has grown utterly amoral about the cost of their actions.
- Tetrax personally killed Azmuth and Myaxx. In the show, he was a heroic bounty hunter and hardly even qualified as an Anti-Villain at his worst. Although Azmuth's AI admits Tetrax was justified in killing him.
- According to Steven Universe's Word of God, while the Diamonds did terraform planets, none of them were inhabited nor was there any allusions to there being any intelligent life on other planets other than Earth. Here, due to being set in the MCU where there is an abundance of life in the universe, it means they've wiped out countless races across many worlds and are completely aware of that fact. That said, their preferred targets for colonies are still worlds with no sapient life, and they prefer to simply make arrangements to allow a Gem outpost on the planet and simply wait for the inhabitants to wipe themselves out on their own if there is sapient life there.
- Hercules in this universe serves Doctor Doom in a quest for revenge against the Greek gods, and is one of the antagonists of the post-Arcadia arc of The Girl Who Could Knock Out the Hulk.
- While she does retain her care for Steven in A Triangle in the Stars, Lapis's disregard for Earth and the people who live upon it is more highlighted here, simply because she has more screentime, and she's also more manipulative, drawing more parallels between her and Bill. She also goes along with Jasper, though it's often unwilling and vitreous.
- Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse:' Commodore Nelson Royale goes from being merely a greedy naval officer hoping to discover one of the legendary Millennium Dragons, whose bones can be used to create an alchemical potion of youth, to being one of the personal slavers of Mariejoise, using Navy conscripts and the authority of the Celestial Dragons to abduct innocent civilians from the East Blue and ship them off to a short, brutal life in the "Holy City".
- Weight of the World: This version of Ciel Soleil aka Atlas is much worse than her canon counterpart. She's a tyrannical monster that will do anything to be Remnant's one and only "savior", including kidnapping, experimentation, murder, and brainwashing her own people and allies. She also tries to murder Ruby when she's paralyzed and only fails because Qrow takes the blow.
- In Wizard Runemaster and its sequel, a number of humans, especially ones from Stormwind are portrayed as racist and xenophobic on par with Garithos, hating anything that isn't a human loyal to Stormwind, including their elven and Draenei allies. King Varian Wrynn gets it the worst going from The Good King to a racist tyrant whom Onyxia didn't even have to manipulate in order to screw over the stonemasons who went on to become the Defias Brotherhood. Once Harry Potter starts being known for his heroics throughout Azeroth, Varian demands Harry be brought before him to swear loyalty to him (and thus make Harry's deeds reflect upon Varian).
