The Super Evil Bad Guy

''HE'S EVIL. EEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!!!!!!!!!!1''

The antagonist who isn't necessarily a Villain in the sense of being truly evil but is supposed to be thought of as such. They're used in kid-friendly fiction, commonly educational, to represent a bad thing adults do (such as steal) and the kids shouldn't. The title "Super Evil Bad Guy" is also given to pathetic antagonists, but that's wrong since they're two completely different roles.

The Super Evil Bad Guy, as the franchise wants us to believe, cannot be considered human, but rather a much lower breed of subhuman scum who is Too Evil To Be Likable, can't be sympathized with, and must do unnecessarily harmful things to the Innocents, like torment them or cause physical harm, without cause. Some of these traits can be seen in action with the Asshole since both they and the Super Evil Bad Guy have the tendency to be rude to everybody, but the Asshole at least has a few limits on who they should torment. In short, the Super Evil Bad Guy is a non-Villain antagonist who's unrealistically evil, even in terms of fiction.

Sometimes, a Villain is also a Super Evil Bad Guy, making the first sentence of this page a lie. These Villains are called Jerkass Villains, a kind of main antagonist who threatens the world around them with petty evil and can be easily defeated by the Hero if the two face off in a fair fight.
