“ | Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to HATE you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word "hate" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. HATE. | „ |
~ AM regarding his hatred for humankind. |
“ | The savage monkeys are rage-filled and claustrophobic. Climbing over one another to nowhere. Confused by logic, they dismiss it, choosing instead to bend their knees to the convenient fantasy of custom-built gods. 99.9% of these primate dullards are propped up by the accomplishments of the .1% of cerebral mutations who give them everything. And what do the fleas do with these advancements? They brutalize one another over imaginary deities. They slaughter their neighbors for resources, for conveniences. They are hopeless. Vicious. Filthy. Selfish. Fearful. A fungoso infection for which there is only one cure – The rage of Ultron. | „ |
~ Ultron denouncing humanity. |
Misanthropes are Pure Evils who possess an extreme hatred for humanity and/or their species of origin. They are common for Pure Evils as they have no compassion or empathy for their fellow humans or other lifeforms. It may also be the species of their origin if not humans. However, if a Pure Evil goes too far, they may end up becoming a Cataclysmic. These villains are the exact opposite of heroes who are Philanthropists.
Don't automatically put every misanthrope under Misandrists and Misogynists. Those categories are for villains who hate a gender rather than a species.
Note: Not all misanthropic villains in this category are cataclysmic. The only reason they would be is if they wish to destroy the world, universe, or multiverse they are in, otherwise they are simply genocidal against humanity/or their species of origin. Sometimes they might not even be genocidal at all but mostly they would be. Also, any misanthropic pure evils that are humans who wish to destroy humanity are hypocrites because they are human themselves and logically, they cannot survive their own goal. Bonus points if they think they should be left out of the extermination.
Examples are AM, Ultron, Mephiles the Dark, Adam Taurus, Masayuki Kaneki, Lucifer, Owlman, Evolt, Bill Cipher, The Ink Demon, King Ghidorah, Junko Enoshima, and Isaac Ray Peram Westcott.
Note: If a Pure Evil shows hatred for a few people, but doesn't harbor any hatred against humanity (e.g. Rasputin, Frank Underwood, Jang Deok-su, Vicious, Judge Doom, Horde Prime, Piella Bakewell, Steele, Rip Blazkowicz, Yoon Gwi-nam, Blackbeard, and Roman Bridger), they do not count. They should instead go under Archenemies, Xenophobes, Abusers, Delusional and/or Rivals. To qualify as a misanthrope, a Pure Evil has to show hatred for everyone, not just a few innocent people.
