A
Pure Evil is the worst of the worst. These
people are abhorrent monsters who seek to cause chaos for their selfish and immoral gain and are completely irredeemable. They are the opposite of
Pure Good. Here are their defining traits, as said on the Villains Wiki:
They have passed the Moral Event Horizon at least once (a term for when a character has shown they are irredeemable in the story).
They do not have true
love for anyone and only care about themselves, if they claim to have
love, that "
love" is just perversion, possessiveness, or obsession.
Absolutely NOTHING justifies their actions, they are not positive at all, and they are beyond redemption.
These are just simple villains, Anti-Villains can never count, seeing how they play the role of a villain but have
noble intent.
They know what they are doing are wrong, and they know what right and wrong is, but they only choose to do the latter.
They are not mindless beings of destruction (that would be a Generic Doomsday Villain), they have defined motives.
