Pure Evils who are willing to hurt or kill their own family member/s (be them parents, siblings, spouses, step family members, in-laws, clones, as well as adopted family members, etc.). They are often considered among the cruelest of all Pure Evils given that even their own family members are expendable to them.
Examples of family cruelty are shown below:
- Familicide: Villains who murder or try to murder members of his/her family, e.g. commit matricide, patricide, filicide, mariticide, uxoricide, and so forth. Examples of characters who commit familicide include: Dio Brando (who kills his fathers), Jill Roberts (who killed her mother), Diavolo (who killed his mother), Cesare Borgia (who murdered his brother Giovanni), Henry Evans (who drowned his baby brother), Scar (who infamously kills his brother and framed his nephew for it), Ego (who killed most of his children), Darkseid (who has murdered his mother, son, brother and father), Janos (who kills his father and one of his daughters, Ananzi), Killbus (who tried to kill his brother), Michael Myers (who killed his sister), Lord Voldemort (who killed his father and grandparents), Chara (who killed her adoptive mother), William Afton (who sent his own son, Michael, to get killed by Funtime animatronics), Black Mask (who burned his parents to death), Rip Blazkowicz (who sent his wife to a Nazi death camp and even personally attempts filicide), Charles Eborock (who killed his sister), Ramsay Bolton (who kills his father, stepmother and newborn brother in the TV show), Mo Tae Gu (who brutally murdered his brother-figure/adoptive brother Nam Sang-tae), Graydon Creed (who tries to kill his own mother and two siblings), Emperor Belos (who killed his brother), Gorilla Grodd (who killed his father and ate his brain), Vitiate (who killed his parents and daughter), the Dark Lord (who tried to kill his two de facto "brothers"), and Dick Hardly (who created sapient Powerpuff Girls knockoffs to explode and their body parts fall off).
- Abuse: Villains who, through one means or another, are callous towards his/her family. Examples of abusive characters include: Rip Blazkowicz (who physically and emotionally abused his wife and son when the latter was young), Ultron (who is known to attempt to kill his robotic "children" if they turn against him), Ragyo Kiryuin (who sexually abuses her daughter Satsuki), Horde Prime (who treated his clones like nothing but pawns, especially Hordak), Mari (who raped her brother dozens of times), Keera L. Greenwood (who enslaved and tried to rape his little sister), Emperor Daibazaal (who abused his own son and mentally break him), Andrei Sator (who physically and psychologically abused his wife), King Aldrich (who abused and gaslighted his son into becoming a ruthless tyrant), Gregor Clegane (who burns off half of his brother's face simply for playing with one of his toys), King Runeard (who abused his wife and son for petty reasons). Baro (who beat his brother Neige when the latter didn't want to hurt children on his command), William Afton (who hits his daughter Elizabeth for trying to show him a drawing), Ozai (who, for petty reasons, physically scars his son Zuko by burning half of his face off before banishing him and molds his daughter Azula into nothing more than his personal weapon, as such being responsible for her antisocial behavior), Green Goblin (who broke his own son's leg to frame him for his crimes), Shou Tucker (who turned his wife and daughter into chimeras), William Rawlins (who left his wife stranded with the Taliban to get gangraped), and Ramsay Bolton (who raped his wives).
This category also applies to PEs who are at least willing to hurt/kill their family member/s even if they haven't actually done so (e.g. Cooler, Orson Krennic, Light Yagami and Sal), as well as PEs who only abuse/kill ex-family members of theirs (e.g. Max Cady).
NOTE: It is not sufficient for a PE to simply disregard the death of a family member/s (e.g. Princess Shroob, Rose Armitage, Colm O'Driscoll, Lord Cutler Beckett, Zed, Barracuda and Zoom) or to dislike their family (e.g. Hans Gruber, Hugo Martinez, and Edwin Epps); they must be actively and severely cruel to said family member/s, be it through domestic abuse, psychological torment, rape, torture, murder, or the attempted act of any such crime.
This is the human counterpart of Animal Cruelty.
They are the evil counterparts of Family Kindness.
