Sadists

Villains who immensely enjoy watching their victims suffer.

NOTE: While it's a very common trait among Pure Evil villains, it is not essential for one to be sadistic; some may instead exhibit a psychopathic indifference to the death and suffering they deliver. Examples are Ego, Lord Cutler Beckett, Harry Lime, Sir Miles Axlerod, Shou Tucker, Gihren Zabi, Lord Henry Blackwood, Stanley Poole, Demise, Colonel Henry Favours, Hans Gruber, Salen Kotch, Carter J. Burke, Zachary Hale Comstock, Jo Sang Heon, John Godolkin, Chief Harold Kruel, Vera Konstantin, Claire Wyden, Isshiki Otsutsuki, Rip Blazkowicz, Dr. Zed, Bob Barnes, Wallace Breen, Zander Rice, Sebastian Shaw and Marissa Wiegler.
