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.

    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.

      He was pretty evil for a good while, then went back to evil again during ][v][ajin saga for a bit. He did a fair share of evil shit for a good while before he became a bro.

    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.

    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

    Megamind. Dude raised in prison and bullied his whole life, he just want attention from Metroman. Once he got the attention of Roxanne the act basically stopped.

      He did more-or-less kill, and then steal the identity of, the museum guy. He’s not a paragon of virtue, either.

        He didn’t kill him he used the dehydration gun which turns people into cubes. He can be put into water and will be back like nothing happens. He even used that in the finale to defeat Tighten

          If not for an accident where he ended up in a washing machine, he’d have been left as a cube indefinitely. From a cube’s perspective, there’s no difference between being a cube and being dead.

            Okay, but you can’t say “he killed him” when he could be brought back by anyone. Especially since even the museum guy knew that the gun is for dehydration, so that means Megamind’s powers / gadgets are relatively known.

              I said he more-or-less killed him, not that he actually killed him. Care was not taken to ensure he’d be revived or revivable. He was left forgotten in a pocket. The likely outcome was that he remained forgotten and didn’t get wet until he’d been dropped under some furniture, crushed like a stock cube or gone mouldy. Maybe he had dependents, like a young child who’d have died without their parent. It being theoretically possible to revive someone later doesn’t make turning them into a dehydrated cube meaningfully better than making them dead if you don’t have a strong plan with a failsafe to make sure they stop being a cube. Even with guaranteed revival, if they’re a cube for long enough that they notice the lost time, it’s just like roofying someone and holding them hostage for a while. Do not turn museum guys into dehydrated cubes.

        Yeah, but he isn’t evil that he likes to think he is. He kinda mess up the town once in a while while trying to get even with Metroman. Though there’s no confirmed kill from him. Titan on the other hand is evil.
