My favorite is Bog king from Strange Magic - Has a song talking about how evil he is. But all he does is prevent the spread of dangerous mind control magic, and quarantine people under the effects of said magic. Yes he greatly annoys people doing so, but honestly? If I get hit by a love potion, please quarantine me.
If you have ever seen Gabriel Dropout I love the character Satanichia. One of the best anime comedy characters I’ve seen and yeah she matches this description so well.
Dr Horrible intended to be evil but never followed through.
I know hating on League is in vogue in some corners of the internet, but I really like Veigar. He claims to be the master of evil but hates that nobody takes him seriously because he’s short and he takes umbrage with that. His voice lines are quite fun.
Imho League is an ok game with great lore and a terrible community.
Elphaba from Wicked.
The Brian, otherwise Pinky wouldn’t stay with him.
Well, he never says he’s evil but is certainly seen as a villian: Dr. Victor van Doom. He’s actually seen all possible timelines of humanity and only the one where he reigns is not ending in destruction. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4d9668819558c73a8fda43cd4bc0ef0a-lq He is also loved by the people of the country he does rule. And when he had indeed managed to rule the world, it was a time of peace. I mean, mind control peace (he amplified the power of Killgrave the Purple Man) but still.
Maybe I don’t know enough Doom lore but he seems not evil in the same way as Thanos. Sincerely believes that his way is the right way and the ego to try to force it on everyone else.
Or maybe Doom is not evil in the same way as saying Nazis made the trains run on time
Doom in the comics is more like movie Thanos than comic Thanos. Comic Thanos is legitimately mad and killed half the universe just to impress Mistress Death (she was not impressed).
He’s basically Stark, Strange and Black Panther rolled into one, with the arrogance of Strange and Stark dialed to eleven.
He’s completely capable of doing very evil shit to reach his goals but also has moral principles. He has tried to kill the Fantastic Four countless times and is still the godfather of the daughter of Reed and Sue. Her first word was “Doom”.
Doom does a genocide every other month. There’s something to be said for earnestly believing you’re the good guy but you can say it about Hitler too.
Dr. Cortex is undoubtedly evil; but he MASSIVELY overexaggerates just how much of an evil genius he is. The worst thing he did (other than building a slave army from endangered native creatures) was shoot an emu one time. Most of the other bad things he did were more incompetence than malice
Is he a veteran of the Emu War? Most soldiers are not considered evil for murdering the other side.
Character that insist is evil but clearly isn’t: Crowley from Supernatural.
But I think that character that is actually evil but still charming is more interesting, and for that I bring forward Baal from Stargate.
Crowly as in Good Omens?
Different character, but there is a lot of overlap. When the show introduced Crowley for the first time, I thought it was an omage to Good Omens.
You guys know about the actual occultist Crowley, right?
No, from Supernatural. I don’t remember Crowley from Good Omens claiming to be bad
RIP the actor that played Ba’al.
He was a disturbingly good looking man, damn.
Since my usual suspects are already mentioned, I’ll go a little more esoteric - ProZD’s “a villain who always does unintentionally helpful things” - https://youtu.be/GPUgjy-Pn-4
Gentle Criminal
Ð poor guy always wanted to be a hero and is basically ð showcase example of how badly a well intentioned mistake can ruin someone’s life.
Luckily he got ð protag punch of friendship and goes on to help save ð entire world, but he literally made his initial career being an internet celebrity self declared criminal.
Y’all are judgy removed for going after phlubba so much. Just stop wasting your energy and move on.

Hate to break your heart over this, but it ain’t gonna happen. Give up on your dreams of arbitrarily changing orthography with an inconsistent look to the past, and realize that we have “th” in place, which was already taught to English speakers, and is present on every keyboard.
I got two languages on my phone, and I’m not about to install the goddamn Icelandic keyboard so I can triple-tap past Japanese and type some sort of bullshitty shortcut to “th” which were already present on my second keyboard, English.
Just stop it
No U.
Catra
The Warcraft narrator, he says he’s an evil man but just wants to disco.
…Wait, I misheard that?
I like the world of warcraft version, too. https://youtu.be/LwqsUSqKzrw
I looked everywhere for that one.
I think it’s a re-upload and the original is gone.
The Mighty Monarch.
Came here for this
Did you see what he did to Dr. Dugong?!
I Scream from Chikn Nuggit.
Claims to be the epitome of darkness; was exiled from Hell for falling in love with an Angel named Fwench Fwy.
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
He is actually a really good dad throughout the show.
I wish he was less oppressed
And because he’s such a great dad, Vanessa gave him a basket full of recreational self destruct buttons for fathers day.
A thoughtful gift to a mad and self-described evil scientist.
I got a platypus controlling me!
