Moral Event Horizon

"Tarkin, if ever there was a shred of humanity in you or these twisted creatures of yours, it's dead now. You're at war with life itself."

- Princess Leia Organa, from the Star Wars Radio Dramas, after Grand Moff Tarkin wipes out her home planet. "Further than anybody. And I thought I knew what that meant, though the Death Eaters did not. He was referring to his Horcruxes, Horcruxes in the plural, Harry, which I do not believe any other wizard has ever had. Yet, it fitted: Lord Voldemort has seemed to grow less human with the passing years, and the transformation he has undergone seemed to me to be only explicable if his soul was mutilated beyond the realms of what we might call usual evil."

- Dumbledore regarding how far Lord Voldemort could’ve gone crossing MEH as he creates Horcruxes.

The "Moral Event Horizon", or "MEH" for short, refers to an action by a villain that is so evil that it usually eliminates audience sympathy for the villain and makes it clear that they are unrepentantly evil and will not be redeemed, unless if they themselves are offended by the actions of another villain, or admit themselves that they are beyond redemption.

Whilst popularized by TV Tropes, this term not gained its name from that site, but rather from the scientific fact that nothing can escape a black hole is referred to as the boundary of the region from which no escape is possible and is known as the event horizon, hence the name. A villain who crosses the horizon, or enters the black hole, has no hope of escaping except under extremely rare, extraordinary circumstances. All Complete Monsters (also known as Pure Evil) are by definition beyond the Moral Event Horizon. However, crossing the Moral Event Horizon does not necessarily make a villain a true Complete Monster, it only means that they are irredeemably evil. Some villains have or almost crossed the Moral Event Horizon, or done something despicable enough to make the fans believe they did so, only to later redeem completely or partially.

A strong example of a Complete Monster would be either a villain who (in addition to having no or a very poor excuse for being evil) commits multiple especially heinous Moral Event Horizon-worthy deeds, or if the line in question proves to be heinous enough. The notable consequence on the villains' reputation whom crosses MEH would led either Unspeakable Evil mere mention of their name as a taboo and believed to bring bad luck to those who utter it (or in extreme causes disease, death, or other preternatural curses) or they themselves becoming Damned Souls when they died. By definition, a character can only cross the Moral Event Horizon once; however, it is possible for a villain to have more than one event as a potential Moral Event Horizon, such as the various adaptations of the Joker of DC Comics and Teridax of BIONICLE. Other villains have more than a potential and often leave an impact on the public that they do wicked things all the time and commit Moral Event Horizon acts like a hobby, such as Lord Voldemort, Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, Emperor Palpatine and Emperor Tathagata Killer.

These characters are almost invariably Complete Monsters.

 IMPORTANT NOTE: Two things that should not added on the list of MEH below: 


 * Fanon examples, as this would confuse the reader.
 * Certain flawed actions that done by characters that confirmed not evil nor antagonistic (Franny Robinson grounded her son Wilbur until his death for his mess that also led Lewis present in the future or SpongeBob's ungrateful acts on Gary in spite of his heroic acts for saving him from Puffy Fluffy for examples) won't be ever counted as act of MEH if the said actions not officially put them to the dark side or merely portrayed them as flawed hero.
 * Act of MEH usually driven by malicious intentions and cruel enough to be taken seriously by heroes and villain who outright appaled by the said actions.

A Song of Ice And Fire

 * Ramsay Snow: Torturing Theon Greyjoy for pleasure to the point that he ends up forgetting his identity and going insane, renaming him "Reek" and making him his passive slave. He even castrates him (though this occurred only in TV series).
 * Joffrey Baratheon: Ordering the beheading of Ned Stark and torturing Sansa with this throughout the series.
 * Cersei Lannister: If it's not by ordering that Tyrion (her brother) be arrested for Joffrey's murder, it's the unscrupulous pleasure she receives and makes no effort in hiding when Oberyn is killed and fails to win Tyrion's freedom in the trial by combat.
 * Petyr Baelish: If he crosses it, it's by betraying Ned and helping the Lannisters maintain the Iron Throne (which could qualify for almost anyone who refuses to cross the Lannisters when in the position to do so). He also caused Ned's death, unbeknowest to everyone, and later he left Tyrion in the cell after poisoning Joffrey and pushed Lady Arryn out from the Moon Door after hinting that he never loved her, braking her life and mind.
 * Tywin Lannister: Mistreating his son Tyrion throughout his life, going so far as to rape his wife, Tysha, and lie to Tyrion that she was a whore.
 * Gregor Clegane: Burned his brother's face when he was a child.
 * Stannis Baratheon: In one of the most famous moral event horizons ever, after losing men, food, and supplies in his siege on Winterfell, he burned his beloved daughter, Princess Shireen, at the steak to appease The Lord of Light and grant him victory (TV series only).
 * Walder Frey: Initiating the Red Wedding, which results in the sacking of the Stark army. By extension, the pregnant Talisa's brutal death and the murder of Robb Stark and his mother.
 * Roose Bolton: Betraying the Stark army, assisting Walder Frey in the Red Wedding, and killing Robb Stark.
 * The Night King: Kills nearly every inhabitant of Hardholme village and resurrects them as undead, later kills the Three-Eyed Raven, and later kills the Dragon Viserion, and resurrects him as an undead dragon.

A​vatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra

 * Sozin: He abandoned his old friend, Avatar Roku, to die in lava so he could no longer disturb his plan of conquering the world and annihilate all Air Nomads, save for Avatar Aang because he could never find him.
 * Fire Lord Ozai: He has several possible contenders: After his son Zuko disrespected one of Ozai's generals, the Fire Lord burnt the boy's face, leaving Zuko with a scar on his eye. After Zuko scolded his father for this years later, Ozai threatened to kill his son with lightning. Otherwise, in the finale, he appoints his daughter Azula as Fire Lord... but seconds later, Ozai tells her that the position is powerless. In the comic series, "The Searching", Ozai revealed his sadistic nature to his wife Ursa when he told her that he'll abuse Zuko as if he was the son of Ursa's lover, Ikem, in order to punish her for missing her lover despite Zuko being Ozai's son and doing nothing to deserve this. In either way, Ozai's atrocity against both Zuko and the entire world ultimately haunted Zuko in his early days as a Firelord, to the point that he almost ruined both his life and his bond with his allies and friends (especially Aang) out of fear of turning to the dark side as far as Ozai ever did.
 * Admiral Zhao: He killed the spirit of the Moon to weaken waterbenders and ensure his victory. It's revealed that in Book 2 of "Avatar: The Legend of Korra" that as punishment for this MEH, Zhao's soul was imprisoned by La in the Fog of Lost Souls not long after the spirit of the Moon revived and by the time Aang's children ventured inside to find Jinora, Zhao had entered the madness state.
 * Long Feng: He crosses this by immediately killing Jet in cold blood just as Jet shrugged off his brainwash influence. If this was not enough, he may have truly crossed the MEH completely by conspiring against the Earth King along with the Dai LI and imprisoning and brainwashing the inconvenient witnesses. Worse, as the last ditch to complete his plans, he resorts to manipulate Azula to help him retake Ba Sing Se for himself, only for this deed to backfire as she beats him in his own manipulating game in the end.
 * Dai Li: They conspired against the Earth King under Long Feng's command, imprisoned and brainwashed the inconvenient witnesses, and also betrayed both the Earth Kingdom and Long Feng when they joined Azula and helped her take over the kingdom. With no hesitation they destroyed the walls of Ba Sing Se so the invasion forces of the Fire Nation could conquer the city with no problem.
 * Hama: She imprisoned innocent villagers with her bloodbending and took over the bodies of Sokka and Aang to force Katara to use bloodbending against her, making her a bloodbender.
 * Amon: He terrorized and conquered Republic City, stripped many people of their bending, including Avatar Korra, and also tried to destroy the last hopes for restoration of airbending.
 * Hiroshi Sato: Unable to cope with the fact that his daughter Asami still protected benders as not all of them are evil, he eventually succumbed to his hatred against benders and tried to kill his own daughter because he thought "there was no chance to save her". Though he failed, thanks to Bolin, he still made it clear he was going to try and kill her.
 * Tarrlok: His fear of Amon caused him to misuse his authority to arrest non-benders. He also imprisoned Avatar Korra through forbidden bloodbending and turned against the rest of the Republic City Councilors.
 * Unalaq: He framed his brother to take his place as a candidate for Chief of the Northern Water Tribe, manipulated his own niece, Avatar Korra, to fulfill his plans, started a war between the Water Tribes, took Jinora as a hostage and threatened to destroy her soul to force Avatar Korra to help him, and freed Vaatu, the most chaotic spirit of the universe.
 * Zaheer: He, along with his crew, attacked the newly reborn Air Nation to force Korra to surrender, cornered the Air Nation (except Kai) from escaping, and brutally beaten up Tenzin. Later, he went back on his words by luring Korra's friends into a trap and keep the airbenders as prisoners. After he managed to capture Korra, he had her poisoned to force her into the Avatar state and kill her to end the Avatar cycle. Though he failed in this, he managed to temporarily have her both in a depressed and wheelchaired state as well as responsible for unintentionally creating a hallucinogenic entity in Korra's mind as result of scarring her mentally. After being imprisoned, on the other hand, he later regretted his actions after a new dictator started to begin her own empire, which is why he undid the damage he caused on Korra as the redemption of his said MEH crossing actions.
 * Kuvira: She first crossed it by attempting to kill Korra after defeating her, then ordered her army to attack after Opal and Jinora intervened. After finding out about Zhu Li sabotaging the cannon during a weapon test, she had her chained up in an abandoned city where the cannon was aiming at, and she did not hesitate to use her giant mecha-suit to fire at the building where her fiancee, Baatar Jr., was held prisoner in.

Batman

 * Ra's al Ghul: In Batman Begins, he sets Wayne Manor on fire, almost killing both Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth.
 * Bane: In The Dark Knight Rises, he bombed the Gotham City Football Stadium, which kills hundreds, and furthermore holds the entire stadium hostage, proclaiming the existence of a nuclear bomb within the city's limits before snapping the neck of Dr. Leonid Pavel in front of all of them. He may have crossed it earlier when he broke Batman's back.
 * Talia al Ghul: It is revealed that she was the mastermind behind the plan of conquering and destroying Gotham City.
 * Poison Ivy: In Batman & Robin, she crosses it when she cut off Nora Fries' life support, leaving her for dead and then lying to Mr. Freeze, saying that Batman and Robin killed her so that he will freeze all of Gotham City in a rage.
 * Joker: Kidnapped Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes and put them in buildings set to be blown up, leading to the latter dying and the former becoming Two-Face. This in turn causes Batman to "break his one rule" and become a wanted criminal.
 * Penguin (Batman Returns): Although he has a tragic backstory (being abandoned by his parents, thrown in a sewer, and left to die), he has killed many innocent children of aristocrats and later tries to kill Chip (the son of Max Shreck).
 * Joker: He killed Bruce Wayne's parents (instead of Joe Chill in the comics) and later attempts to kill all the citizens of Gotham using his poison gas. Thankfully, he is stopped by Batman.
 * Joker (DC Animated Universe): Has many candidates for these:
 * "The Last Laugh": He covers Gotham City in a cloud of laughing gas, which is revealed to eventually cause permanent insanity if not removed, and begins plundering the crazed city.
 * "Joker's Favor": He spends years stalking and threatening Charlie Collins after a single slight and forces him to help him pull of a crime by threatening to murder his family.

 * "Be a Clown" He tries to bomb the mayor's son's birthday party, which could have killed the party-goers as well (some of which were children).
 * "Return of the Joker": Kidnaps Robin (Tim Drake) and tortures and brainwashes him for weeks via shock torture and serum injections until he gave away all his secrets to the Joker. He was driven insane and renamed "Joker Junior", which enrages Batman so severely that he threatens to kill him. Shortly after, Joker was killed when Robin shot him with a trick BANG gun. In the edited version, Robin pushes Joker into the shock treatment room where he then slips, accidentally turns on an electrode, and electrocutes himself. This is by far the most evil act Joker has ever done in the animated series, worsened by the fact that it's later turned out that he has implanted a chip inside Tim Drake's head that contained his mind and allowed him to possess the poor Robin later on, as when Drake killed him, he only killed Joker's own lifeless husk.
 * Roland Daggett: Crosses it by trying to blow up Crime Alley, which would have resulted in the deaths of several people if his plan was successful.
 * Arkady Duvall: Crosses it by violently assaulting (and possibly raping) a woman, abusing his henchmen, and trying to sabotage a train.
 * Sewer King: Crosses it with his horrific treatment of the children in his care. Batman was tempted to kill him out of disgust for his crimes.

When Ciel confronted her, Angela sewed Ciel's parents' corpses into a hideous creation she controlled to kill Ciel. After Ciel destroyed the monster, Angela sadistically mocked Ciel that it was he who caused his parents' "second death". **Before the finale of the Season 1, as soon as Ash found out Queen Victoria started to rot and refused to leave, insetead of curing the Queen, Ash left Buckingham Palace and flew for the burning London. Then, Ash sets off to the bridge, which is built out of the human sacrifices and soul, to which Sebastian comments that it cannot possibly be a holy bridge.

She then attempted to kill everyone even included Sieglinde, but fortunatly, she was soon stopped and killed by Sebastian on time.

Dragon Ball

 * General Tao Pai Pai: The first Complete Monster of the series who makes a profit out of slaughtering people, whether it's man, woman, or child. After killing Bora he then goes on to curb stomp Goku and would have killed him had it not been for his Grandpa's Dragon Ball shielding him from the attack. He then commits his worst act when he forces a tailor to overwork on making a new outfit for him, and then murders him when the tailor asks him to pay for it. Even after being defeated by Goku and turned into a cyborg, he shows he is still as ruthless as ever when he stabs and tries to blow his old student Tien Shinhan up along with everyone in the tournament stadium.
 * King Piccolo: Orchestrates the murder of every Tenkaichi Budokai participant, beats Goku within an inch of his life, takes over West City, and kills Roshi, Chaozu, and even Shenron, thus preventing anyone from using the Dragon Balls against him.
 * Frieza: Destroys Planet Vegeta and the entire Saiyan population, who were nothing but loyal to him. He also kills everyone in the Namekian village even after finding out where the Dragon Ball is and kills Nail, Dende, Vegeta, and Krillin in very brutal fashions, planning to do the same thing to Son Gohan and Goku as well. He also refuses to give up on his cruel ways even after Goku spares his life.
 * Cell: Killed many civilians by brutally sucking the life energy out of them through his tail and caused Gohan to break into insanity and turn into a Super Saiyan 2 by not only torturing all of his friends but killing Android 16 in front of him.
 * Vegeta is a very special case. He started out as a ruthless mass murderer interested only in power, and crossed many lines by killing or abusing Goku's friends (and his own), Namekians, many innocent people (under Babidi's control), and acting selfish to his friends and family. By redeeming himself after all this, he can be considered as a Karma Houdini. However, all his victims were resurrected (and later when reviving Buu's victims, Vegeta wants to make sure his victims were revived as well), he was raised by Frieza to be a killer, and Vegeta eventually performed a heroic sacrifice. Therefore, his crossing of the Moral Event Horizon is very debatable.
 * Broly: He crosses it when he blows up an entire planet that the slaves his father had used to live on and says, "Oops, I did blow it up?", followed by maniacal laughter. Additionally, Broly kills his father, who attempted to escape New Vegeta via spacepod, by crushing the spacepod with him inside it.
 * Van Zant: Crosses it when he kills several innocent bystanders and tries to kill Hercule and Bee which results in the creation of Evil Buu.
 * Tambourine: Crossed it when he murdered Krillin, the martial artists in the tournament, and a fox boy's father. The latter he stated was for fun.
 * General White: Crosses it when he threatens to kill the Village Elder then shoots Kid Goku, almost killing him. This resulted in provoking #8.

​Digimon

 * Myotismon: He is always been darker than Devimon and Etemon, threatening to kill many innocent children in his search for the eighth Digidestined, but he crossed the line when he murdered Gotsumon and Pumpkinmon for their desertion then later reinforcing it by killing Wizardmon. He also took over the body of Yukio Okiwa and took 3 years from his life.
 * After taking the form of VenomMyotismon by cannibalizing his remaining minions via his bats, Myotismon inhales and devoured DemiDevimon, who helped him to be resurrected with enough additional energy, in order to empower himself and, more vitally, because DemiDevimon had became useless.
 * After taking the form of MaloMyotismon, Myotismon psychologically tortured Arukenimon and snapped her neck. When an enraged Mummymon turned against him and attempted to revenge for Arukenimon, Myotismon destroyed him with Crimson Mist.
 * Puppetmon: He kills his own henchman, who was begging to be taken with him.
 * Machinedramon: He orders to destroy his city just to ensure the deaths of the Chosen Children.
 * Piedmon: He conquered and destroyed the Digital World and changed it into his own kingdom. He also turned most of the heroes into key chains.
 * Beelzemon: He sends Takato into a ballistic rage when he kills Leomon and therefore sends Jeri, his tamer, into despair.
 * Lucemon: He crosses the line with his plan to enslave the residents of the Digital World, strip them of their free will, and force them to obey him. Also, in his Chaos Mode, he kills Loweemon and then absorbs Koichi's data as Koichi sacrifices himself against his Ultimate Sacrifice attack. He eventually moves on to try to enslave the human world as well.
 * Apocalymon: He crosses it when he crushes the Crests of children and sends them to another dimension. He also attempted to annihilate the real and digital worlds.
 * Kurata: Crosses it by using the Gizumon units to commit genocide on the Digital World, then kills Keenan's surrogate father Digimon, Merukimon, and sadistically taunting him about it. This action is arguably one of the worst in the series.
 * Bagramon: He successfully conquers the Digital World and turns it into his empire. He also absorbs his brother to become stronger and to conquer the human world.
 * DarkKnightmon: He turned Yuu on his side by lying to him when he was just a naive child.
 * NeoVamdemon: He uses the darkness loader to absorb MetalGreymon and become stronger off of his life force.

 * King Drasil: In the film "X-Evolution", he unleashes a virus that kills 95% of the population of the digital world, orders the royal knights to hunt down Digimon who survived this, and tries to destroy the digital world. In "Digimon Savers", he decided to destroy the human world to save the digital world from collision, but in reality he wanted to destroy humans so they could no longer affect the evolution of Digimon.

Horror/Monsters/Thrillers/Slashers

 * Count Orlok: He crosses it when he delivers the plagues to the town of Wisborg and kills many people, including Ellen Hunter, Thomas Hutter's wife.
 * Michael Myers: Though at first he ppears to simply be mentally disturbed when he kills his older sister, it is proven he is the embodiment of evil when he kills innocent people in sadistically gruesome ways (without a sign of pity, regret, or any other type of emotion) that stand in his way from killing his entire family, especially Dr. Samuel Loomis.
 * Freddy Krueger: Murdered 20 children and killed his wife Loretta in front of his daughter when she discovered he was the Springwood Slasher. He also trapped several teenagers inside his body so that he could harness their souls for energy.
 * Jason Voorhees: Though his backstory of him being born deformed, mentally disabled, and then nearly drowning in the camp lake makes him sympathetic, Jason slaughtered countless people without a sign of pity, regret, or any other type of emotion.

 * Otis B. Driftwood: He tortured people, and then killed them without remorse with the help from his family.

When Meddows orders the Blob to be trapped in the sewers, he seals some of his own men with it.
 * Anton Bartok: Either crosses it when he lies to Veronica about her baby not being mutated to see the results of it's birth, causing Veronica to die of cardiac arrest, or keeping a mutant dog alive and in pain in a pit, lying to Martin that it was immediately put to sleep.
 * Godzilla: Despite being the protagonist of the series, he crosses it a long of times when he wrecked havoc on Tokyo, killing million of humans.

How To Train Your Dragon

 * Drago Bludvist: Before the film even began, he had armored dragons burn down a longhouse full of Vikings leaving Stoick as the sole survivor

Marvel Cinematic Universe

 * Ego: Ego is seen at the beginning of the movie already cross the MEH by placing a brain tumor in Peter Quill's mom, Meredith Quill, because he saw falling in love with her would be a weakness for him, he also has killed most if not all of his kids because they lack celestial genes, which takes us to his main goal, to give birth to a child with celestial genes and together with the child kill everything in the world and make the world theirs, commiting cataclysm.


 * Ronan the Accuser: He betrayed Thanos and kept the infinity stone for himself to commit genocide upon the Nova Corps. However before the film, it is stated that he had committed many genocides and killed Drax the Destroyer's wife and daughter, and during his battle with him, he told him that he doesn't care to remember and he'll forget killing him as well, but when he does recall later, he only regarded that their screams were pitiful. When the Infinity Stone is removed from his warhammer and Quill grabs it at the cost of his life, Ronan only shows a sadistic smile. All of this makes him one of the most monstrous, psychotic, and despicable villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside Kilgrave.
 * Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe): Although he adopted her and treated her as a daughter, he killed Gamora's family and tortured her until she became a living weapon. He also used Loki to bring the Chitauri on Earth.
 * Abomination: He killed a policewoman on his way to Samuel Sterns, he later intimidated him into giving him Hulk's strength, accidentally causing his own mutation.
 * Thunderbolt Ross: He hunted Hulk throughout America, gave Blonsky the super soldier formula, and captured Banner. His action in giving Blonsky the super soldier formula ultimately backfires with Blonsky's mutation.
 * Obadiah Stane: Obadiah crossed the Moral Event Horizon in Iron Man when he breaks into Tony Stark's house, paralyzes Tony, and steals the miniature arc reactor powering his heart, nearly killing Tony. He also reveals to Tony that he was the one who ordered the hit on him in Afghanistan. He later uses the stolen arc reactor to power his Iron Monger suit.
 * Loki: He made a deal with Laufey only to double-cross him and take over Asgard. He later killed 80 humans and brought Chitauri to Earth to invade.

 * Kurse: Crosses the MEH when he kills Frigga under the orders of his master, Malekith, and then nearly kills Loki.
 * Aldrich Killian: He crossed it after destroying Tony Stark's home, killing Maya Hanson, and then capturing Pepper Potts (while subjecting her to the Extremis in the process) and the President, nearly killing them both. Kilian's action in subjecting Pepper Potts proved to be his own undoing, as Extremis-enhanced Pepper suddenly came to Tony's aid before he could deliver a final blow on an already crippled Iron-Man.
 * Alexander Pierce: He crossed it when he killed his maid/housekeeper when she caught him having a conversation with the Winter Soldier about HYDRA operations in his home. Worse, his Project Insight, albeit foiled by Captain America, proved disastrous due to making S.H.I.E.L.D nearly cease to exist.
 * Red Skull: The Skull definitely crossed it at the beginning of the movie when he killed a man to obtain the Tesseract and then destroyed a nearby village for the fun of it. The reasons why he easily crosses the MEH was not simply because he was evil from the start, but also as the side effect of the imperfected super soldier serum that the reluctant Erskine gave to him that not only caused him to become stronger, but also far eviler than he originally was and thus unable to gain redemption.
 * Grant Ward: In an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., he shot Victoria Hand and two other loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in order to free his mentor and fellow HYDRA double-agent, John Garrett, revealing his allegiance to HYDRA.
 * Kilgrave : As arguably one of the most evil villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (though his evil nature remained inferior compared with Ronan's), he repeatedly raped Jessica Jones and Hope Schlottman and made the two his personal slaves. Kilgrave used his mind control powers to force Jessica to kill an innocent woman and made Hope commit matricide and patricide by killing both her parents.

Middle-Earth Saga

 * Smaug: Immediately crossed the MEH when he robbed the dwarf race of their kingdom and their treasure hoard, forcing them out of their kingdom and making them homeless and murdering many dwarven races and all their guards and warriors, massacred Lake-town and has never been remorseful for his cruel, evil actions and gleefully talks about them as a reminder to his enemies of his capabilities for being impenetrable, vile and cataclysmic.
 * Sauron: Killed Elendil, King of Gondor and Gil-galad, returned after his defeat and regathered his armies and strength under the nose of Middle-earth, defeated and imprisoned Gandalf the Grey upon the discovery of his return, tortured Gollum for information on the whereabouts of the One Ring.
 * Azog the Defiler: Murdered the dwarf king, Thror, and many other races of dwarves, nearly killed Thorin during An Unexpected Journey and then in The Battle of the Five Armies, he killed Thorin's nephew, Fíli and later mortally wounded Thorin during the Battle of Five Armies and each time, showed nothing more than a sadistic smile whenever committing these kind of acts, considering he is "the most vile of the orc race".
 * Saruman the White: While he acted as a double-agent for the Dark Lord Sauron during The Hobbit, he crosses the MEH during The Lord of the Rings when he betrays the White Council and Gandalf to Sauron's forces and is then pinned at the MEH when he creates bread of darkness known as the Uruk-Hai and under his command, they terrorized countless cities of Middle-earth (including the kindom of Rohan), intending to wipe out the race of mankind.
 * Glaurung: Glaurung possibly passes the MEH when he convinces Turin that he needs to rescue his family when they were in no peril and abandoning Findiluas to his death, later laughing afterwards. He possibly passes it again when he sends Nienor into amnesia. He certainly passes it when with his last breath, he lifts his amnesia spell from Nienor and reveals that she is Turin's brother and that she is carrying their child, resulting in the suicide of Nienor, Turin, and the death of an unborn child and Glaurung had no qualms about gloating about it.
 * Bolg: Wounded Kili with a poisonous arrow and killed numbers of elves and dwarves during many battles, including the Battle of Five Armies, where he killed Kili.
 * Gríma Wormtongue: Betrayed Rohan to Saruman and manipulated king Théoden of Rohan until being foiled by Gandalf, whom revived as White Wizard.
 * Denethor: Secretly used a Palantír to probe Sauron's strength.
 * Gollum: Killed own cousin for the One Ring and tricked Frodo into trusting him, so he could trap and double-cross him.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

 * Discord: Is an interesting case. He appeared to have crossed it in "The Return of Harmony" by cheating at his own game, corrupting the main characters, breaking their friendship, and bringing chaos throughout the land, taking sadistic glee in it all the whole while.
 * In later seasons, the Mane 6 work their hardest to redeem him. In "Keep Calm and Flutter On", he reveals that he had only tortured the ponies out of self-defense, so Fluttershy offers to keep Discord's evil in check. Discord pretended to be Fluttershy's friend, which he did so well that it really worked.
 * In Twilight's Kingdom, he almost crosses the MEH when he betrays all of Equestria when Tirek tempts him to join forces with him. When Tirek drains Discord of his magic, Discord notices how betrayed Fluttershy feels. He instantly regrets having turned against his only friends. Once Tirek is defeated, and everyone's magic is restored (even Discord's), Discord honestly admits that friendship is the most important magic of all.
 * Teenage Dragons: After bullying Spike throughout Dragon Quest, they finally cross the line when they plan to smash phoenix eggs and eat them.
 * Queen Chrysalis: When she impersonated Princess Cadance, leaving her to die in the forgotten caves beneath Canterlot, Twilight Sparkle was the only one who noticed a change in personality and called her evil, which causes her brother (who was her "big brother best friend forever" and never once had a single fight with her), her mentor (who only got angry at her once before, when she caused eternal chaos, and remained understanding and forgiving even then), and her friends (whose friendship was so powerful it defeated two mighty foes) to turn against her and disown her of their own accord (as opposed to Discord corrupting them to turn them against one another). This was arguably the most depressing moment of the series. However, many feel her true crossing of the Moral Event Horizon occurred in the comics, whose canonocity is up to the fans.
 * King Sombra: He enslaved an entire empire, used fear on them, presumably killed its previous ruler, and tries to impale Spike, a baby dragon, to get the Crystal Heart, licking his lips as he gets closer to doing so. He ends up being the first major Friendship Is Magic villain to unambiguously die.
 * Mane-iac: Uses her Hairspray Ray Of Doom on the Power Ponies to immobilize them and cages them (with a steady dose of the Hairspray) so she can use her doomsday machine on them. Unfortunately for her, she is foiled when Spike/Humdrum traps some of her minions, distracting her long enough for the Power Ponies to escape and defeat her.
 * Tirek: He either crosses it when he banishes Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance to Tartarus, even though they had already given their powers to Twilight, or when he seals Twilight's friends inside a cage and drains their and Discord's magic, revealing his partnership with Discord to have been a sham.
 * Starlight Glimmer: Crosses it in the two-part season 5 finale, "The Cutie Re-Mark", when she returns to get revenge on Twilight Sparkle by using a time-traveling spell that could change the entire history of Equestria, meaning she'll also keep the Mane 6 from meeting one another and finding out their special talents. However, her actions towards time only lead to several different bad timelines showing what it be like if any previous villain that terrorized Equestrian, including King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon, Lord Tirek, Discord, and even the Flim Flam Brothers, got away with their evil plot, showing Twilight's friends either fighting against the villains or serving them. After several attempts Twilight made to keep Starlight from changing time, Starlight attempted to rip apart the scroll containing the spell, but then she changed her mind after Twilight talked some sense into her about what friendship and cutie marks are truly about, making her see the error of her ways, and then Starlight faced redemption and later became Twilight's student in friendship, as well as apologizing to the ponies she held captive before and even became a close friend to the rest of the Mane 6.
 * Principal Abacus Cinch: She may not be from Equestria or had magic abilities in the human world, but she did try to humiliate Canterlot High so her legacy will endure and make Twilight to join the Friendship Games, or she will deny her from The Independent Study Program, which Twilight really wants to go to. She witnesses Twilight draining Rainbow Dash's magic and learning that she drained a lot of magic. Before the final competition, Principal Cinch and the Shadowbolts trying to convice Twilight in releasing the magic to the point of enforcing her to do it in their villain song "Unleash the Magic". She is responsible for creating Midnight Sparkle, but she just run away.

Naruto

 * Orochimaru: Though he eventually decided against destroying the Leaf Village, Orochimaru crosses the MEH when he implanted Hashirama Senju's genetic code into 60 kidnapped infants in his attempts for godhood and showed absolutely no concern when they apparently all died (though only one of them turned out survived and became Yamato). In the series proper, he murdered three Chunin hopefuls and stole their faces, sacrificed two of his loyal subordinates to bring Hashirama and Tobirama back as Edo Tensei, killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, murdered the Fourth Kazekage after manipulating him and his village into War, and attempted to murder Tsunade, Naruto, Shizune, and Jiraiya after his arms were sealed.
 * Sasuke Uchiha: He deserted his homeland to join Orochimaru in order to become more powerful out of vengeance. He also showed no allegiance to any group, because he defected Konoha, Otogakure, and the Akatsuki when he no longer saw any use in them. He captured Killer B, the host of the 8-tailed beast, that resulted in the Raikage's vengeful grief, which is only diminished by revelation that Killer B escape but used his capture as a ruse to have fun outside his home village. He attacked all kages because they stood in his way to kill Shimura Danzo, showing no respect to their authorities and becoming an international criminal. He also stabbed his most loyal supporter, Karin, and left her to die. He also told Sakura Haruno to kill her only to divert her attention from his attempt to kill her. It should be noted that he nearly become a Complete Monster in the process, though thanks to his reunion with Itachi Uchiha and confrontation with Kabuto, he questions both his error and truth about everything that happened in his life, and after a conversation with Orochimaru, along with the released souls of those whom were sealed by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he eventually chose to redeem himself. However, he's still an insensitive Social Darwinist and a jerk with no respect for his teacher, Kakashi, only because he no longer has Sharingan. After the defeat of Kaguya, he decided to execute kages instead of save them and declared his revolution against the whole ninja system, becoming a public enemy for the last time, something which prompted Naruto to battle him again. In the end, however, Sasuke eventually changed his mind and redeemed himself completely after he realized that Naruto still considered him his best friend no matter how far he turned to the dark side as much as Itachi did. All in all, Sasuke is one of the known MEH crossers that still has a chance for redemption in spite the huge damage that he inflicted during the moments after learning the truth behind Uchiha's downfall. In addition, as he himself was aware of how far he turned to the dark side, he decided to embark on a long journey for achieving total redemption, especially for redeeming his MEH crossing deeds.
 * Deidara: He captured Gaara and helped in extracting his demon from him, resulting in his death. He mocked Naruto with the death of his friend, disrespected Gaara's corpse by using them to make Naruto chase and capture him, and also captured Isobu the Three-Tailed Beast, killing its guards. Even after his death and reanimation, he did not get better.
 * Sasori: He killed the 3rd Kazakage and turned his corpse into a puppet and also tried to kill his grandmother Chiyo as well as Sakura Haruno. Worse, he also killed a large number of people and turned their bodies into puppets. Not only that, Sasori claimed that he once used 100 of them to destroy a nation once at the same time, which is proven in a filler episode.
 * Kabuto Yakushi: It is revelated he's Orochimaru's spy and he sacrifaces thousands of people to create his reanimated ninja army to support Obito Uchiha in his war.
 * Danzo Shimura: Tricks Hanzo into thinking that Yahiko is his enemy and later helps the former to kill the latter in exchange for promoting him to become a Hokage, tricks both Nono and Kabuto Yakushi into becoming Konoha's spies and then made them kill each other, stole Shisui's eye, ordered Itachi to kill the entire Uchiha clan, orders Sai & his brother Shin to kill each other, kills the messenger Kosuke so that he cannot tell Naruto about Pain's attack and then gathers his ROOT troops underground without even helping Tsunade defend Konoha hoping he would become Hokage, uses his "6th Hokage" authority to officially declare Sasuke as a wanted criminal, abandons the other four Kages to deal with Sasuke and the Zetsu clones and then mocks Itachi during his fight with Sasuke, and he also took Karin as a hostage to slow Sasuke down, but she meant nothing to him. Though most of his actions supposedly has beneficial consquences by some, these actions are considered despicable due to many casualities.
 * Hidan: He with Kakuzu captured Yugito Nii and helped in extracting her demon from her body, resulting in her death. The two of them subsequently slaughtered a temple's worth of monks in order to collect the bounty on the head monk, Chiriku, and he also tortures and kills Asuma Sarutobi then sacrifices his soul to Jashin. He showed no regret in killing Asuma as he physically enjoyed it, and Asuma wasn't his first victim. He even tried to kill Shikamaru & mocked Asuma in front of him. Even when having Shikamaru bury him alive, this did not stop him from mocking the latter.
 * Nagato/Pain: He killed Jiraiya and drowned his corpse, although it can be considered as a self-defence or defence of his own city-state from an invader, but nothing can advocate his attack on the Leaf village and its annihilation and genocide of its populance just to seek out Naruto and his inner demon. He became evil when he ordered Akatsuki members to capture all jinchuuriki and kill them during extraction of their inner demons. He captured Utakata himself in the anime after slaughtering his countrymen ninjas.
 * Madara Uchiha: Controlled Kurama to do his dirty work (which also resulted in the loss of what was left on the tailed beast's innocence), attacked Iwagakuge and badly defeated Ohnoki and Mu, manipulated Obito by controlling Kirigakure Shinobi to bring Rin Nohara to her own death in Kakashi's hands so he will do all his dirty work, defeated the Five Kages easily, thus placing them in a near-death state, ordered Black Zetsu to control Obito to use the life-risking resurrection technique to him instead of the people who died on the war, and extracts Kurama from Naruto then stabs Sasuke in the heart and almost killed them both. Another reason to hate him is Madara somehow successfully keeps himself alive as an undead just as he realized Kabuto undid the summoning dead technique before his soul was brought back to the afterlife, and his long-time evil scheme, even if Obito proceeded his dirty work before his resurrection, proves disastrous and results in many deaths during its process, includes Naruto's parents'. He even went too far by stealing Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan just to cross the other dimension and retrieve his Rinnegan from Obito due to Naruto and Sasuke turning the tide of the battle and even admitting how he planned Rin's death all along.
 * Obito Uchiha: He decided to follow Madara's plan, caused the death of Naruto's parents and the massive destruction of the Leaf village by extracting Kurama, killed Nagato's friends, knew about Danzo's actions but kept the truth for himself, and manipulated Kisame, Nagato, and Sasuke to join him and capture the tailed beasts. He also controlled the mind of the 4th Mizukage and the cruel reputation of the Mist Village was thanks to him. Obito was so amoral that realizing the plan of the eternal illusion didn't matter to him if anyone will be alive or dead, because in illusion everyone would be alive.
 * Kaguya Otsutsuki: She enslaved the world's people once by putting all in eternal dream and later sucked all vital forces from them, reducing them to mindless husks called Zetsu. Now, after her return, she's doing it again with all friends of all protagonists.
 * Mizuki: Mistreating Naruto like the majority of Konoha villagers may be bad, but he has crossed the line when he manipulated the young jinchuuriki to steal a scroll full of kinjutsu for his own gain. In anime filler, it's turned out that he silently mistreated Iruka in the same manner with when he mistreated Naruto, and crossed it once more by brutally murdering his badly injured teammate. He even tries to kill both Naruto and Iruka, whom he hates psychotically. All of this made him one of the very first challenging advesaries that Naruto ever faced.

One Piece

 * Akainu: Years ago, Akainu destroyed a ship that had many innocent refugees just so that Robin could never get away.
 * Spandam: Ruthlessly attacks a handcuffed Robin simply for speaking out of term. This act even disgusted Rob Lucci.
 * Hody Jones: It was revealed that he was the one that killed Queen Otohime just to place the blame on humans. When Hody was asked what made him despise humans so much, he simply said "Nothing".
 * Higuma: Arguably crosses it when he attempted to drown and kill Luffy even though he was just a child.
 * Marshall D. Teach: Kills a former crewmate named Thatch just to obtain his devil fruit. Teach was also the one who captured Ace and killed Whitebeard, harboring no love or respect for his former captain. Teach then stole Whitebeard's devil fruit, the Gura Gura no Mi, by unknown means.
 * Arlong: In a flashback, He killed Nami and Nojiko's adoptive mother, Bell-mère.
 * Donquixote Doflamingo: 10 years ago, he forced Riku Dold III, the former King of Dressrosa, to assault his people by controlling him and his soldier.
 * Captain Kuro: Attacks his own men and attempts to kill them in a powerful attack to eliminate the Straw Hats so that he can complete his plan to live alone in luxury in Syrup Village.
 * Crocodile: Crosses it by planting a bomb that will reduce Alabasta to a crater, activating it when he anticipated that the heroes would find it.
 * Caesar Clown: Oh so many, but in particular givng children a drug that keeps them enslaved to him so that he can perfom experiments on them.

Phineas and Ferb

 * 2nd Dimension Doofenshmirtz: He was in fact a darker (and a more competent) counterpart of the bumbling inventor. Not only has he successfully taken over his Tri-State Area with his army of Norm-Bots, but he also turned 2nd Dimension Perry into a ruthless cyborg programmed to serve him as his general. He even planned to kill the original Perry, Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and even the original Doofenshmirtz while attempting to take over the original Tri-State Area.
 * 2nd Dimension Charlene: She turns out to be a darker counterpart of the bumbling inventor's ex-wife, as she turned several of 2nd Dimension Perry's fellow OWCA agents into ruthless cyborgs (including 2nd Dimension Pinky and 2nd Dimension Peter) during 2nd Doofenshmirtz's reign. She even planned to turn 2nd Candace, 2nd Phineas, and 2nd Ferb into cyborgs after tricking them into freeing her husband from jail.
 * Liam McCracken: He was infamous for hunting down platypi and turning them into trophies ever since he was a kid. He was hired at first by Doofenshmirtz to merely trap Perry, but turns on the deal by trapping Doofenshmirtz as well, planning to turn both the evil scientist and the platypus into trophies. This forces the two foes to work together to stop him.
 * Aloyse von Roddenstein: He crosses it in the 2014 special "Phineas and Ferb Save Summer" when he moved the Earth further away from the Sun to perpetual winter with his latest invention, a revelation that shocks everyone (including Doofenshmirtz, who strongly opposes this). Also, in an attempt to move the Earth further into a new Ice Age that would endanger billions of lives, Rodney disables the reverse switch and the self-destruct button on his machine to ensure that it won't be stopped, which provoked a furious Doofenshmirtz to defeat him.
 * Smile Away Reformatory School Sergeant: He completely and utterly destroys the imagination of Phineas and Ferb through torture and discipline, turning them into mindless drones, though this never actually happened as it was simply a dream Perry was having.

Planet of the Apes

 * General Thade: He mistreated and tormented all the humans around him due to his disgust of their species. He would often overact and even threw a violent tantrums when he learned that Captain Leo Davidson's group stole their horses. Earlier in the movie, he brutally killed two of his own gorilla guards after they had discovered Leo's ship just to keep it a secret. Thade's hatred of humans knew no bounds, even branded Ari with the mark of the human slave when she came to ask for forgiveness.
 * Steven Jacobs: Cared only about profit and little about anyone else's well being. But he truly crossed it when he assisted the police in shooting and killing many of the apes on the Golden Gate Bridge. Despite his death, his damage proved too great: His actions not only drove Koba turned to the dark side, but his involvement with the "ALZ-113" also causes most of mankind's population to die out as he unaware that one of his employees, who took one of the vial, unknowingly realize that ALZ-113 became a deadly virus that kill most human population and transform evolved apes into stronger creatures.
 * Koba: Though Caesar took him in and treated him as a friend, Koba hated humans, so much that it blinded him and caused him to take villainous actions. He killed two guards at the human armory and stole the rifle to kill Caesar and framed the humans. He used this to lounge war on the human city and ruled over the humans and apes with an iron fist, imprisoning those whom too loyal to Caesar and even killed Ash, his young follower for refusing to kill two humans as it would never be what Caesar wanted.

The Simpsons

 * Mr. Burns: In "Curse of the Flying Hellfish", he threatens to shoot Bart and then tries to drown him.
 * Sideshow Bob: In "Funeral for a Fiend", he tricks everyone in Springfield into turning against Bart by convincing them that Bart lead him to insanity. He then fakes his death, pinpoints it on Bart, and everyone sees Bob die as a legend. However, he finally crossed it when he had his brother lead Bart to the funeral home to be cremated alive.
 * Russ Cargill: Although at first he only wants to prevent Springfield's pollution from spreading, he crosses the line by attempting to destroy Springfield (killing its entire population) with a time bomb.
 * Cecil Terwilliger: Attempts to kill his brother Sideshow Bob, Bart and Lisa, and blow up the Springfield dam and flood Springfield, to frame Bob and make off with the money he embezzled.
 * Lyle Lanley: After setting up his faulty monorails, he left many Springfield citizens to die on the monorail. He had also done so in the past.
 * Jessica Lovejoy: She steals the money of the church and blames Bart for it.

South Park

 * Eric Cartman: Having Scott Tenorman's parents killed and feeding them to him as chili. This was the most prominent indication of his progression from a bratty, selfish jerk to a truly evil character since the start of the series.
 * Sheila Broflovski: In Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, she shoots Terrance and Phillip in the head even after her son, Kyle, pointed out to her that starting a war against Canada and killing Terrence and Phillip was wrong and pointless.
 * Mr. Herbert Garrison: He tried to stop the gay marriage bill from being passed to the degree that he almost had Stan and Kyle killed, and also threatened to break Cartman's legs and burn his house down if he didn't take his forged egg.
 * Stephen and Linda Stotch: Linda crosses it when she tries to kill Butters by releasing the brakes on her car which causes it to roll into the ocean. Stephen & Linda both cross it when they beat Butters so hard that it could never be shown on screen after Cartman frames Butters for trash-talking his parents. They then go downhill from there by selling him to Paris Hilton to locking him up in a basement and trying to feed him a woman they killed. Not only that, the attempt to 'ground' him for everything and anything, and Butters is so scared of his father he imagines him as a monster.
 * Grandma Stotch: She beat up and constantly bullied Butters to the point of him having a nervous breakdown for no reason.
 * The town of South Park: Constant pestering Britney Spears until she tries to commit suicide, and when it fails they continually do it while mocking her appearance. Ultimately, THEY kill her instead of her killing herself, so they could get a 'fresh harvest' of corn in the fall

Spongebob SquarePants

 * Plankton: While in series he was a comedy villain, in the first movie he shows a much darker and psychotic side when he steals King Neptune's crown, frames Mr. Krabs for it, enslaves Bikini Bottom, shows excitement and joy when Mr. Krabs is going to be killed, and sends a bounty hunter named Dennis to kill SpongeBob and Patrick. In process, he has became a dangerous threat (as he also brainwashed King Neptune along with all the Bikini Bottomites via mind-controlling helmet at climax) against not only the Krusty Krab, but Bikini Bottom itself.
 * Burger-Beard: Though being comedic, Burger-Beard crosses this by stealing the Krabby Patty recipe through a magic book's powers, inevitably turning the entire Bikini Bottom into a post apocalypse state as the majority of Bikini Bottom citizens are unable to cope without Krabby Patties. He outclassed Plankton as the most dangerous and formidable antagonist in the franchise.
 * Mr. Krabs: The episode One Coarse Meal has been debated as perhaps the darkest episode in the SpongeBob SquarePants series due to Krabs' actions. Upon discovering Plankton's phobia of whales, he dresses up as Pearl and terrorizes Plankton for 17 days, giving him nightmares and eventually leading him to attempt suicide. Spongebob offers to help Plankton by revealing Mr. Krabs's fear of mimes, one whom Plankton hires to terrorize Mr. Krabs in turn. Other than that, Mr. Krabs gets no proper comeuppance for attempting to drive Plankton to suicide (i.e. arrested), as he only had Plankton's hired mime agitate him.
 * Another irredeemable action occurs in "Jellyfish Hunter", where he kills jellyfish in a factory just to get the jelly from them for the customers (after his defeat, he reluctantly took jelly off the menu).
 * He also made lies in the newspaper, the Krabby Kronicle, which ruined the Bikini Bottom citizens' lives (and because Plankton lost his restaurant thanks to Krabs, he mentioned "And I thought I was evil") and even counterfeited a massive amount of money in the end (though it was doubtful that he would spend any of it), which is extremely illegal.
 * In "The Cent of Money", he uses Gary as a coin magnet to steal coins from everyone and not caring for the snail's suffering (he even calls Gary a "sneagle" rather than a snail).
 * Finally, in "Out of the Picture," he tries to kill Squidward because his artwork would be more valuable if he was deceased. This also confirmed that his money-grubbing behavior has drove him alarmingly insane.
 * Mrs. Puff: After years of putting up with SpongeBob's reckless driving, she was finally driven insane in "Demolition Doofus", when she apparently lost her ability to puff, thanks to SpongeBob. She later gets SpongeBob into a Demolition Derby in hopes of him getting killed by offering him "extra credit". As his bad driving makes him a star, Mrs. Puff snaps and tries to run over SpongeBob by using a huge monster truck. Instead, she destroys her boating school, but she turned back to normal and regained her sanity, only with disappointment.

Star Wars

 * Kylo Ren: Burned down an entire village and killed innocent people, which caused the horrified Finn to defect the First Order to join forces with the Resistance. Even though he had a tragic past, Kylo Ren crossed the MEH once more when he murdered Han Solo, his own father, in cold blood.
 * Emperor Palpatine: Palpatine was evil, psychopathic megalomaniac to the core whom actually having a very large records of crossing MEH over the course of his life until his downfall, but the most famous of these acts are:
 * Starts the Clone Wars to extend his cadency of Supreme Chancellor.
 * Turns Anakin Skywalker to the dark side by taking advantage of his loved ones due to his massive power over the force.
 * Gives the clone troopers Order 66, leading to the Second Great Jedi Purge.
 * Tries to kill Luke with Force lightning, which turned out to be a fatal mistake in his life as by torturing Luke, he unknowingly aid Luke to redeem Darth Vader whom unexpectedly rushed to single-handedly tossed him into Death Star core that resulting his demise.
 * Darth Maul: In the TV series, he manipulated both Death Watch and Black Sun and turned them into his private army to conquer planet Mandalore, he also put his puppet ruler in charge and killed Duchess Satine, Obi-wan's old love much to his sorrow while he smiled gleefully. In the movie, it's likely when he kills Qui-Gon and tried to do the same on Obi-Wan where unfortunately, this led the Jedi sliced his torso in retaliation of his murder. Another evil act is blinding Kanan Jarrus on Malachor.
 * Count Dooku: He created a separatist alliance against the Republic, he betrayed, wounded, murdered, lied and manipulated to get advantage. He killed Jedi Master Syfo Dias and took his identity, recruited Jango Fett as a source of clone army for his war, but he lost that, he betrayed the Republic to Darth Sidious, he sent Obi-wan, Padme and Anakin to execution arena, he cut off Anakin's arm, he lead war against the Republic, during the Clone Wars he sponsored horrific experiments, inventions of weapons of mass destruction and destructive starships, he ordered to kill all witnesses, he ordered to terminate Assajj Ventress, when his master suspected him plotting against him, he later abandoned her, when he saw no more use of her and he ordered General Grievous to kidnap Chancelor Palpatine when he lead massive ambush on Coruscant.
 * Grand Moff Tarkin: As one of the most infamous crossings of all time, he destroyed the planet Alderaan after making a false promise to Princess Leia that he would spare Alderaan if she revealed the location of the rebel base. Hoping to spare both, she lied and claimed the rebels were on Dantooine. Tarkin however decided to destroy Aderaan anyway, to frighten planets away from rebelling. He also planned to continue Emperor Palpatine's Empire after he was gone.
 * General Hux: In much more extreme way than Grand Moff Tarkin's actions, he ordered the Starkiller Base to destroy the Hosnian System, which not only destroyed the planet, Hosnian Prime (the capital planet of the New Republic), but also killed billions of living beings, destroyed the Galactic Senate and much of the New Republic Starfleet.
 * Jabba the Hutt: Jabba crosses the Moral Event Horizon when he orders Luke, Han, and Chewbacca to be thrown into the Great Pit of Carkoon to be eaten by the Sarlacc, after Luke slaughtered his pet Rancor, despite the fact that, in this situation, Han and Chewbacca were relatively innocent, whereas Luke angered Jabba (though unintentionally; he was defending himself against the Rancor and did not wish to kill it, but saw no other choice).
 * Darth Vader: As Anakin Skywalker, he killed an entire village of Tuskan Raiders to avenge his mother's death. He also cut off Mace Windu's right hand, helping Palpatine to kill him. He then became Palpatine's Sith pupil (Darth Vader), for his order he massacred children in jedi temple, choked his beloved Padme after wrongly thinking that she betrayed him. For 20 years he preserved totalitarianism of the Galactic Empire, took over Cloud City, froze Han Solo and gave him to Boba Fett, cut off Luke Skywalker's right hand, and he, along with the Emperor, played on Luke's emotions after capturing him.
 * By Return of the Jedi, Vader is shown to be subverting the crossing, as only Luke Skywalker believes that Vader still has a chance at redemption. Indeed, he proves his worth by saving his son (Luke) from the Emperor's shocks. Vader tosses the Emperor down the Death Star, killing him, but the shock power killed Vader as well.
 * Pong Krell: Krell crossed the MEH many times over, being stern and strict about Rex and the clones obeying his reckless orders that purposely led many of the clones in battle to their deaths with his strategies, ordered clone troopers Fives and Jesse to be executed for their defiance, he then tricks his men into killing each other and always sadistically gleeful whenever he killed a clone trooper when they turned on him after his treachery was revealed and taunted Captain Rex into shooting him, knowing that he could never bring himself to do it.
 * Barriss Offee: Arranged the Bombing of the Jedi Temple (which occurred in the Temple's hangar), killing six Jedi and several Jedi Temple Workers. She also framed her (former) friend Ahsoka Tano for the crime along with killing a key suspect in the bombing, which resulted in Ahsoka leaving (after being exonerated) from the Jedi order.
 * General Kalani: Killed millions of innocent people who were against oppression separatists in Onderon causing a massacre of civilians in mass of women, men, elderly and even children,and even after such atrocities against an entire planet, Kalani still alive waging war against the Galactic Republic at the outer edge, invading neutral planets or enslaving planets or races and allied Galactic Republic.
 * Savage Opress: He killed his brother, who helped him becoming Asajj Ventress' pupil as his final test. He committed numerous genocides for order of Count Dooku, he killed king of Toydaria despite Count Dooku had earlier commanded him to capture him alive. He used intimidations and death threats to find Darth Maul and save him. He helped him in building an army from gangsters to conquer planet Mandalore, which ended with a success.
 * Durge: He caused numerous mass murders under no orders, for no reason other than it was fun.
 * General Grievous: During his military campaigns, ambushing the Jedi party on Hypori and killing nearly everyone there, killed thousands of Jedi and never showed any emotion or remorse for his evil deeds of rampage and murder of millions.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

 * Yami Marik: He caused Marik's turn into villainy. During Battle City Finals, Yami Marik traps Mai Kujaku in her own mind after having assaulted her psyche during their duel. He later tries to kill Odion, but not after he defeated Yami Bakura and trapped Ryo Bakura's body (without noticing the Spirit in the Millenium Ring had escaped) into the Shadow Realms.
 * Dartz: Near the end of the fourth season it's revealed that he was responsible for the death of Rafael's family (in the dub, the family survived the cruise ship attack but has completely forgotten him) as well as ruining the rest of his henchmen's lives to convince them to join his crusade. This also includes framing the Kaiba family (Kaiba Gozaburo and Seto along with possibly Mokuba) for funding a war that ruined a town and caused Alister's family to get killed (in the dub, his family members were captured instead). He paid a gang to burn a church that killed Valon's caretaker (a nun), which caused Valon to attack the gang responsible and get locked up (in the dub, Dartz simply framed Valon for his first crime at age 9).
 * Mr. Ishtar: He ritualistically carved up his son's back, which led to the birth of Yami Marik, and later tortured Odion.

He also destroyed the monument of Abraham Lincoln to take the throne. These practically gives a logical reason why Optimus Prime lost his sympathize towards him as his "brother", as he avenge this MEH crossing deed either damage his face with his own cannon at Revenge of the Fallen or de-spine him in Dark of the Moon.
 * As Galvatron, he controls all of the KSI man-made transformers after manipulates KSI via knowledge of transformers physiology in his mind, making them a new Deception army, and attacks Hong Kong in order to takes back the "seed" and destroys the whole city.

 * Sentinel Prime: He betrayed the Autobots to the Deceptions, executed Ironhide (and the Twins Mudflap and Skids in an unused draft seen in the comic adaptations) and tried to ruin Earth and enslave human race. Worse, it turned out that he manipulate Megatron all along as he proceed to usurped the Decepticon leadership so he can have Decepticon army all by himself only to made his plans goes smoothly. On top of that, damage that he caused was too great; human government lost their faith with the Autobot, and Harold Attinger use it as propaganda against Cybertronians on earth further.
 * Dylan Gould: Betrayed humankind to the Decepticons and worked as their spy as well as ordered his bodyguards to beat Sam and had Starcream shoot the Autobot's ship. He also personally blackmailed him, mocked him and attempted to kill him.

His crossing of MEH are all avenged when Bumblebee kills him.

Thanks to this, no one able to against him when he had many Autobots hunted down and killed (as well as purge other humans that proven gets in his way or not) until his nefarious actions ultimately put into an end at hands of Cade Yeager and his family with help of Autobots, and presumably restores mankind's faith towards Autobots in process. Other reason to hate him are he had manipulated both Brains and his pawn Joshua Joyce to creates mass produced artificial Transformers using the corpses of the Decepticons as well as some of the Autobots he had killed as ruse to gain a Seed for himself as he had secretly had a deal with Lockdown to do so. His deed when he created mass produced Transformers ultimately become his undoing when he uses Megatron's remains to create Galvatron, whom not only revive Megatron inside it, but also evolved into stronger Transformer whom proceed to took other artificial Transformers to his side. Fortunately, most of his actions are avenged when Optimus shoots him in the chest, but not enough to clean Autobot's names.
 * Joshua Joyce's betrayal as soon as he aware with Attinger's dark nature also revealed that Attinger's whole records of evil actions (includes his MEH crossing deeds) would threatened to ruined both KSI and Joyce's good name and turned them all into war-criminal like Attinger and Savoy himself.

 * James Savoy: Has already a step ahead by threatens Tessa in order to force Optimus Prime out of hiding. Later he tries to brutally kill Cade Yeager and his family in Hong Kong.

 * Prince Hans: He manipulates the naive Princess Anna by getting her to fall for him and rule her kingdom.

Later in the film, he let him get hit with fruits by the guards and citizens simply because he had decided to attend a gypsy festival, and he sniffed Esmeralda's hair despite hating gypsies. But worst of all, in order to track down Esmeralda, Frollo tries to kill an innocent family (children included) by setting their home on fire just to set an example (as well as a few other buildings in Paris). Later, after finally arresting the gypsies at the Court of Miracles, he sentences them all to be burned alive at the stake for witchcraft. Last, but not least, he savagely tries to kill Quasimodo (who was his adopted son) and Esmeralda atop Notre Dame only to be condemned for his actions and fall to his death in a pool of molten lead. This makes him one of the most evil villains ever to appear in a Disney animated film.

This has been a particularly notable example that was acknowledged by numerous audiences when first seeing the film theatrically, particularly because Lotso did have a tragic backstory, but denied the perfect opportunity to redeem himself.
 * Professor Ratigan: He crosses the MEH when he feeds one of his henchmen to his cat Felicia, almost does the same to the Mouse Queen, and almost kills Olivia by throwing her onto the cogwheels of Big Ben. It is also stated (and often debated) that in his song, he drowned widows and orphans.

Later in the film, he convinced Ralph that if Vanellope raced, they would shut down the game and she would die with it. This in turn caused him to destroy her cart and nearly ruin their friendship. He tries to kill Vanellope after the latter was about to win the race, only to have his true identity revealed via her glitching power and ended up devoured by a Cy-Bug in his failed attempt to stop her. As a Cy-Bug, he stopped Ralph from killing all of the other Cy-Bugs who plans on using Diet Cola Mountain as a Beacon and forced him to watch Vanellope die at the hands of the Cy-Bugs.

If not, they cross it when they rig Mater with a bomb and intend to blow him and McQueen up when he gets too close.
 * King Stefan (Disney's Maleficent): Despite the fact that he was remorseful for stealing Maleficent's wings and he once befriended her (as well as introducing her to true love's kiss), Stefan eventually hated Maleficent once she retaliated by cursing Aurora, so much to the point that he was driven to the dark side farther than Maleficent herself was. He left his dying queen to perish for the sake of his obsession with hunting Maleficent, sent his men to hunt the fairy down (only to return with failure and severe injuries), and then tried to stab her from behind when Maleficent spared him. Another reason to hate him was he HIMSELF was responsible for kicking her to the dark side in the first place by stealing her wings.
 * Scott Hoager and Gary Fulcher: Stepped up their bullying towards Jess Aarons after the death of his best friend Leslie Burke, and Scott goes as far as to make a joke about it.

He then tricked Jane into luring our hero into his trap at Dead Man's Cave (and recovered his stolen treasure in the process) and attacks her with his sword in a blind rage in an attempt to kill her for ruining his plans.
 * Mor'du: Crosses the MEH when, as revealed in The Legend of Mor'du, he throws his kingdom into war and chaos by shattering the bonds of his family and demanding a spell from the witch that would give him the power to conquer his homeland. He drinks the potion in front of his brothers, and instead of healing the family bonds he has broken, he accepts the form of the giant bear he has been turned into and slaughters them and his kingdom's civilians in cold blood. In the movie, he attacks the highland clans and makes attempts to kill Merida until Queen Elinor comes to the heroine's rescue. As it's implied, Mor'du symbolizes what Merida would turn into if she became too obsessed with her anger towards her family and her kingdom.
 * Maxim Horvath: Had betrayed Merlin by allowing the sorcerer's first former apprentice Morgana le Fay to kill his former mentor soon after being broken-hearted by the fact that Veronica Gorloisen chooses his former friend Balthazar Blake as her love interest instead of him.

Also, after the Machine reawakened, it used the Talisman to drain the Stitchpunks' souls, and it also desecrated 2's body by turning it into the Seamstress's weapon. Although, as hinted by the Scientist, the Fabrication Machine's soullessness meant it was technically never capable of true redemption to begin with.
 * The Chancellor Fredinand (9): Crosses the MEH by taking the Fabrication Machine away from the Scientist, and using it as a tool to initiate another war against the economically-devastated rest of the world rather than attempt to use the Machine to repair his own country.

X-Men Movies

 * Sentinels: Wiped out countless of races of mutants and came close to the extinction of their entire race by the end of Days of Future Past. They also had mankind suffer the same fate only because they potentially had mutant genes that were normally found in a mutant's body as well.

 * Sebastian Shaw (X-Men First Class): Shaw was formerly one of the Nazi scientists responsible for perpetrating the Nazis' experiments and Holocaust atrocities on prisoners in Auschwitz. One of Shaw's victims was Erik Lehnsherr, and he qualmlessly shot Erik's beloved mother dead in front of him to enrage him into unleashing his full mutant power. Shaw would also, after WWII, attempt to trigger an apocalyptic Third World War to exterminate humanity and increase the mutants' numbers.

Although, from Charles' explanation regarding her split personality disorder that she had due to Charles using psychic barriers on her mind to ease her control over her powers in the past, reveals that Jean Grey did not truly cross the MEH willingly, but rather crossed it due to her alternate personality (which manifests as a monstrosity that Charles identified as Phoenix) taking over her mind.

 * Ozymandias (Watchmen): Successfully destroying New York City with an artificial alien and killing roughly two million people. The movie ups the ante by expanding the attack to several cities around the world and increasing the death toll to about 15 million.

 * Adolf Hitler (Downfall): Though this version of Hitler is rather sympathetic, it does not excuse him from his war crimes.
 * Damien Thorn: Crosses the Moral Event Horizon when he murders Mark, his own cousin and adopted brother, for refusing to join him.

He then later attempts to mentally break Zoey by constantly taunting her about Mike being gone forever.

They are also responsible for turning Lucy into a murderous psychopath. Worse, it is also implied that they could have turned into a serial killer even far worse that Lucy herself and exactly much like that of the Unknown Man if they weren't slain in the process.
 * Unknown Man: Crosses it by raping and mutilating Diclonii. Among other things, this involved having a surgeon remove the lower half of Number 28's body so he could easily carry her around inside a backpack & keeping her inside a special tank that left her excruciating pain, unable to use her powers against him. He also cut her vocal cords, leaving her in vain, injects her with a drug that gives her 3 hours to live & uses her as a tracker to find Lucy. When he finds Nana instead, he kicks over her container in fury, which finally kills her. He does it once more by barging into the Maple House, proceeding to incapacitate Nana by firing a poisoned spiked iron ball from a crossbow on her, nearly killed Wanta by kicking him & would have raped and murdered Mayu (and very likely Nana as well) if it hadn't been for Bando's intervention, who was shunned by this.

Steven Universe

After the Count explained his use of Haydee and Albert, his entire scheme had essentially become one big Moral Event Horizon.

 * Kevin: (This is debatable due to redeeming himself in the movie) Crosses it in Your Ed Here, when he blackmailed Eddy under the threat of telling everyone about his middle name (Skipper) by forcing him to do his bidding. He even broke his promise of not telling the kids by doing it anyway, leaving Eddy humiliated and mocked at.

Some think he crossed the line in Mobile Suit Gundam, when after finding the White Base hidden in a bombed-out stadium during a battle against the Gundam, he sees a chance to finally take revenge on the Zabi family (who were responsible for the assassination of his father "Zeon Zum Deikun"), and cunningly betrays Zeon's Earth Attack Force commander Garma Zabi, by misinforming him that the Gundam was retreating and that the White Base is directly ahead, when in fact it was actually behind them. Garma, eager to prove himself, takes the bait and as soon as his Gaw attack carrier flies over the stadium, the White Base launches a surprise attack on Garma's Gaw. Desperate, Garma attempts a kamikaze run on the White Base, while Char contacts him informing of his treachery, saying to Garma that he should blame this on the misfortune of his birth and he should thank his father, ending it with a maniacal laugh, as Garma's Gaw explodes before it could collide with the White Base. Others think that he crossed it when he decapitated Kycilia Zabi with a bazooka. However, Char (despite his delusional goals and beliefs to migrate all of mankind on Earth into space, so that all of humanity will evolve into "Newtypes", and allow the Earth to heal itself) actually crossed the line in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack", when he dropped the asteroid "5th Luna", onto Lhasa, Tibet, killing billions of innocent people and attempted to complete his plan by dropping the asteroid "Axis", filled with nuclear missiles onto Earth, in order to ensure an endless nuclear winter that will render the planet uninhabitable.

 * Megatron (Transformers Prime): He crossed it in the season 2 finale of Transformers: Prime when the Autobots seized the Omega Keys and secured the Omega Lock (the sole device in the universe that could restore the war-ravaged planet Cybertron). In order to retake the Omega Keys and the Lock for himself, per Starscream's advice, Megatron had the Autobots' human friends taken to Cybertron in air-tight pods as hostages, threatening to open them and expose the humans to Cybertron's toxic atmosphere (and possible lack of oxygen), which would kill them instantly, unless the Autobots relinquish the Omega Keys to him. Though the Autobots did exactly this, even after Optimus Prime asked that he be allowed to return the humans to Earth, Megatron instead elected to use the Omega Lock to cyberform Earth, which would destroy all indigenous life in the process. Optimus made the ultimate sacrifice by destroying the Omega Lock to save Earth. In the aftermath, Megatron, having discovered it's location, destroyed the Autobots' base on Earth. Megatron also crosses MEH again by destroying whole Predacon Project and framing Autobots for this to avoid any possibilities of the cloned Predacons' betrayal due to Predaking's sudden developed intelligence as well as to manipulate Predaking further to inflict his rage on Autobots until Ratchet told Predaking the truth, which prompt Megatron to left Predaking to die in the outer space. Fortunately for the Autobots, this second MEH crossing costs Megatron more, as most of his Vehicon soldiers died at hands of Predaking before he able to rid of him, as well as his downfall at hands of revived Bumblebee later.
 * Silas (Transformers): Crosses it when he makes a deal with Airachnid that since M.E.C.H. was seeking out Cybertronians for scientific study, he can have what is left of the Autobot Arcee, after she has terminated her, and in order to lure Arcee to them, he kidnapped the mother of Arcee's human companion, Jack Darby, as a hostage. Once Jack and Arcee arrived to rescue Jack's mother, Airachnid immobilized Arcee with her webbing. Arcee then pleaded to Silas to help Jack and his mother, since they are humans like him, but Silas outright stated that "a few humans lives are a small price to pay for a miracle of science like [herself]", and simply watched as Airachnid attempted to kill both humans. This also proved Silas to be even less human than the Decepticons. He crosses it again in the following season when he frames Optimus Prime by constructing a remote-controlled doppleganger of him, Nemesis Prime, which he first uses to try and kill the Autobots' human liason, Agent Fowler, and then turn the military against the Autobots by attacking a military base. Despite military orders to terminate all Autobots on sight, Optimus and Fowler locate Silas' base and destroy the doppelganger, ultimately clearing Optimus' name. As retribution for his actions, Silas is inadvertently crushed beneath the destroyed doppleganger he created. His troops worked diligently to save his life by integrating him into the body of the deceased Decepticon, Breakdown, the remains of whom they found prior. Though their efforts brought Silas back from the brink of death, he crossed the MEH to the point of no return by killing his own men with the intention of joining the Decepticons.
 * Airachnid: Crosses this by brutally murdering Arcee's close friend Tailgate. He also tries to kill Jack as well as make a deal with Silas in which she turned out planned to had Darby watch his mother die.

Gumball also, when Alan feigned Gumball finally finding his weakness and breaking him, chose to gloat and relish in his own alleged victory. Darwin Watterson was completely disgusted at Gumball choosing to do this, and Gumball nonchalantly revealed that he simply wanted to break Alan "for science, and because the people deserve to know, and because I've got nothing else to do today.". Even Gumball himself worried after selling Alan's parents that he was going too far, and Darwin said, "You went too far about seven hours ago.".

Dragon Age

 * Then Knight Commander Meredith Stannard followed him when she used it as an excuse to annul (exterminate) a Circle of Magi that Anders never even belonged to and were not involved in his crimes. However if player takes her side, she can be persuaded to spare mages, who beg for mercy, including player's sister Bethany.
 * Then Orsino crosses it when he reveals that he knew about and protected the Serial Killer blood mage Quentin.

He even uses the fruits of Quentin's research to turn himself into a literal monster after the reveal. *Mother Petrice crosses it when she murders Seamus Dumas, tries to frame Hawke for it, and plans on using the entire affair to incite the citizens of Kirkwall to rise up and wage war against the Qunari. Her apathy towards Hawke pointing out how it will be a massacre on both sides of the conflict further solidifies just how much of a deranged zealot she really is.

It was then that she decided to create Protos Heis/Sophie in order to help rid Fodra (later Ephinea) of Lambda.

In the 2010 Frostval event, he burns the Frostval gifts in front of Blizzy to his horror and laughs about it, which sends the hero into a ballistic rage with the promise of making him pay for it. Not long after his defeat following that, he, in one more act of spite against the alliance between good and evil, knocks the snow globe containing the Frostval Spirit out of the hero's hands and shatters it, and lays bare his intent to make the whole world pay for "pledging allegiance to evil" by destroying Frostval, but the Frostval Spirit cannot be destroyed, as she returns to his shock and disbelief in order to set things right again.
 * Drakath: While the siege of Swordhaven by Drakath's forces is pretty standard villain fare by this point, and chaorrupting Swordhaven's sewers is a new level of low, everything takes a turn for the worse when King Alteon finally succumbs to the Chaorruption he's been having to deal with all game thanks to Drakath's first appearance, becoming the 12th Lord of Chaos and striking down his eldest daughter and heiress to the throne, Princess Brittany, in a fit of Chaos-induced madness — and right when she had just gotten married to Lord Brentan! And to make things even worse, this tragic act happens to be the trigger for unleashing the worst Chaos Beast yet: a massive, three-headed Chaos Dragon who unleashes horrific devastation upon Swordhaven before the hero is able to take it down, and King Alteon himself ultimately has to be slain when the Chaos proves too much for him. Because of all of this, Swordhaven will never be the same again, and will most likely never know peace for a long time due to the inevitable conflict for the throne. And from Drakath's smile as the twelfth seal is broken, players can just tell that he's enjoying the whole show. Later, after besting the hero in battle, he chaorrupts him/her into the 13th Lord of Chaos and gleefully watches his final, world-ending Chaos Lord wreak havoc in Willow Creek, Doomwood, Darkovia, Vasalkar Lair and Battleon and summon his/her Chaos Beast, the Eternal Dragon of Time. After being attacked by the hero and revealing him/her to be the Dragon of Time, he then murders him/her and then crushes his/her soul within his hand and controls Death into preventing him/her from respawning like normal, which allows him to free the Queen of All Monsters.

She also beat Delsin into near death as well until Delsin fought back by absorb her power. **This was not sole reason to hate her, however.

This can be considered the Daleks' truest MEH-crossing, because they'd had an actual chance to be saved from the darkness and redeemed by sacrificing their evil old ways, but had instead refused to let go of their omnicidal xenophobia and concept of Dalek purity, thus forsaking the Daleks' only chance at a better existence.
 * Destiny (Mongrels): Though Destiny has committed many selfish, greedy, immoral, petty and cruel acts without any respect or regard for anyone other than herself over the course of the show, she crosses the Moral Event Horizon when she attempts to murder Gary, her own owner, with poison, all just so Marion wouldn't be favored by Gary when Marion temporarily became a second pet.
 * Dana Walsh/Jenny Scott: On 24. When lying and hiding her identity and old life from CTU and Cole (as well as assisting reluctantly in crimes that her ex-boyfriend and his partner commit), she still manages to maintain sympathy. Even when she kills Bill Prady and covers up his death, it's seen as an act of desperation by someone who'd felt they'd lost all other options. It's not until she calls Samir Mehran and she's revealed to have been a mole working for the terrorist the whole entire time that she is then established as a full blown enemy no longer worth rooting for. Somewhat subverted by her later torture and alliance with Jack and Cole, her still apparent feelings for Cole and her somewhat uncalled for execution at Jack's hands.
 * Patrick Kemp: Crosses the Moral Event Horizon either when he begins murdering werewolves using the decompression chamber, or when he murders Hennessey and exorcises Annie.
 * Dian Lamitan: She physically abuses Dal'lang, tries to kill Amaya when she was a kid, lied to Rajah Mangubat that Datu Bugna is a traitor as a revenge for slapping her for attacking Amaya and so she could easily stripped Amaya out of her position as a princess and turn her into a slave as well as abusing her, forced her favorite daughter Bai Marikit to divorced Bagani and marry his father instead by using a love potion on him then aborts her offspring with Bagani that made her insane and then drugged her so the rajah will never find out about this, conspired with Uray Hilway and Angaway after Rajah Mangubat betrayed her upon finding out her schemes and upon regaining her position as a Dian, she told lies about Amaya about her being an evil person & declared her as an outcast, blackmails her less favorite daughter Binayaan by harming Dal'lang who had become her adoptive mother, she conspired against Angaway on her own as well (upon finding out Amaya and Bagani are planning to attack him) by bribing Datu Pulajan into joining her side and then invited them into a ball by serving poison on both sides excluding hers', had her rival Hara Lingayan killed secretly, bribed many soldiers and officials to do her bidding, took Dayaw as a hostage so that Posaka will surrender Amaya to her but was secretly planning to kill both of them but Dayaw escapes upon finding out and commits suicide, which Lamitan quickly finishes him off, had Asinas killed for conspiring against her, betrayed Datu Pulajan after discovering he made a secret alliance with Amaya by poisoning him and taking control of his army and tried to massacre civilians in an attempt to force Amaya and Bagani's forces to surrender, only to fail. She even took Alunsina, who was a little girl, hostage and warns everyone she will kill her if they tried to stop her so she could escape her death penalty and escape to a faraway land. Most of her actions are avenged when Rajah Mangubat stripped her off her position as a Dian, when Amaya chopped her hand off and voodoo her to lose her agimat's power and when Amaya finally kills her by summoning Bakunawa to devour her.
 * Xena: in an alternate reality where Xena was never reformed, had Gabrielle, who was the one person Xena love the most in the Prime Xenaverse reality, crucified for standing upto Xena's reign of terror.
 * Veronica Harrington in "The Haves and the Have Nots" crosses the Moral Event Horizon a few times:
 * After her son Jeffrey comes out of the closet, she gives him a hateful speech about how his homosexuality is a punishment from God for her having an abortion in college, and essentially wishes her son was dead.
 * Firing Jeffrey from his job as a counselor at her rehab clinic, and depriving him of his finances and apartment.
 * Blackmailing Jeffrey into dating women by threatening to have him arrested for the murder of a young girl (Wyatt Cryer, while high on drugs, drove Jeffrey's Sedan and hit and killed the girl, and also left Benny Young in a coma).
 * Threatening to have Quincy Maxwell's family murdered if he doesn't back down.
 * Ordering Quincy, a convicted murderer, to beat up Jeffrey if he does not reveal Candace's whereabouts.
 * Arranging for Jeffrey to impregnate Melissa so he would be forced to marry her.
 * Attempting to kill her husband David by setting fire to their house. **Blackmailing Melissa's family by threatening to foreclose on their house so her cancer-afflicted father won't be able to get his medication. **Arranging for Wyatt to be raped in prison.

Supernatural

 * Lucifer: Murders the women and children of a small town and sacrifices several of his loyal demons (who are possessing the town's men) as part of a ritual to free Death; about the demons after they're killed, he nonchalantly remarks that they are "just demons," showing he doesn't care about them despite the fact that they adore him and worship him as their god. Lucifer also, before the series, was responsible both for corrupting the original humans and for fathering the demon race by torturing and corrupting Lilith into the first demon (a deed which as revealed in Season 10, done immediately after infected by The Darkness' malice).
 * Gordon Walker: Arguably crossed the Moral Event Horizon at one of several points through the Supernatural series:
 * Before the events of the series, he hunted down and killed his own sister after discovering she'd been turned into a vampire.
 * Viciously tortured and attempted to wipe out and murder Lenore and her nest despite being aware that they were only killing cattle and were genuinely trying to avoid harming humans. In anime adaptation, he did it on a family of good vampires instead.
 * Started feeding on and turning humans after becoming a vampire, and attempted to kill Sam despite the latter's special child powers having become inactive since Azazel's death.

Sleepy Hollow

 * Moloch: He is a corruptive, emotionless and cruel demon king who enjoys punishment and torture towards his failed minion. He makes many acts that cross the MEH and making him so far the worst antagonist of the whole series:
 * Season 1:
 * "Pilot": He famously crosses it when snapping Andy Brooks’ neck for his failure and then changes the video footage and makes it to show as if Andy committed suicide, confusing Captain Frank Irving.
 * "Blood Moon": Moloch revives Andy to make him his soulless undead servant, and then Moloch forces Andy to release the burning soul Serilda of Abaddon, one of his witch servants and the leader of the Order of Blood Moon. Serilda’s quest for reconstructing her body causes a man (who is a descendent of an anti-witchcraft judge) burned alive in his car.
 * "Necromancer": In the past, Moloch let his Hessian minions shot Abraham van Brunt, the former best friend of Ichabod and the ex-fiancé of Katrina. Then, Moloch transformed Abraham into the Horseman of Death after promising him to give him Katrina as his price, which was one of the main reasons of Katrina’s imprisonment in Purgatory. However, Moloch never takes the promise seriously. In the Modern era, after Crane, Abbie and Irving captured and imprisoned the Headless Horseman, Moloch forced Andy Brooks to hide the Thracian Phiale, which the Hessians burgled from Jesse Adams, inside Brooks’ body. While the Headless Horseman and Brooks was both in captive, Moloch ordered at least seven Hessian troops to blow up the Sleepy Hollow West Power Grid, causing a massive blackout and shut down the UV lights that weakened the Death in process. With the lights shut down, the Headless Horseman regained his power. After that, Moloch forced Brooks to take out the Phiale and then broke the hex of the cell. This unleashed several demon troops, as well as making the Horseman broke free and escaped unharmed.
 * "Sanctuary": In the past, Moloch sent the Tree Monster to the Fredericks Manor, the sanctuary where a pregnant Katrina hid as she gave the birth of her son. Katrina fled safely with her friends’ help. However, due to the protection hex of the manor had broken since Jeremy Crane’s birth, the Fredericks Manor now is no longer a safe place but just a haunted house and a center of dark arts controlled by first tree monster and then Jeremy Crane.
 * "The Golem": At the Christmas Eve, Moloch summons Ichabod Crane to Purgatory, and then he prophesizes the Horseman of War’s arrival before threatening Crane to bring Abbie Mills’ soul to him. This reveals the reason that Moloch forbids the Horseman of Death to kill Crane.
 * "The Indispensible Man": Moloch turns Andy into a mindless demon. He also plans to let Ichabod finds the map that Washington protected, in order to make himself descend on Earth.
 * "Bad Blood": In the past, he summoned Jeremy Crane buried beneath the ground and made him the Horseman of War. In order to prevent something went wrong, he brushed off Mills sisters' memories and locked it in the Purgatory. In the present, he manipulate the two Witnesses' seperate by trapping one of them in the Purgatory as the price of saving Katrina, which later Abbie was forced to do that.
 * Season 2:
 * "This is War": Moloch summoned the demonic souls from the Purgatory and was ready for his ride as soon as the Hessians used the Ghenna Key to open the gate of the Purgatory.
 * "Root of All Evil": Lori Roberts’ last diaries implied that the demons lead by Moloch were tormenting her and hunting her daughters. Abbie said her mother fell into Moloch’s hand and so she committed suicide tragically.
 * "Go where I Send Thee…": Moloch summoned the Pied Piper from death, and so he was responsible for the Piper’s heinous curse against the Lancaster family.
 * "Weeping Lady": Moloch furiously scolds and punches Henry for making Katrina’s life in risk, for she is one of the Hellfire Shards, a chosen vessel. Henry explains that the Weeping Lady did not meant to harm Katrina and this plan is just for pleasing Moloch, yet Moloch coldly says Henry had no rights to plan or think for himself. He then states that Henry is just a soldier with only one duty - obey.
 * "Heartless": With Henry’s help, Moloch’s energy has transported into a glass bottle. He eats the human soul as energy that the Succubus collected for him to take his baby form. In order to feed Moloch, the Succubus had to attack at least four people (including Ichabod and Hawley) in one night, killing at least two.
 * "Mama": More than a decade ago, Moloch sent the ghost of Gina Lambert and let her to capture Mills sisters. The sisters’ mother, Lori Mills, were trying to protect and save her children from the demon. In the present day, in his baby form, Moloch takes some of Katrina’s power by sending her the breath of demons when Katrina hugs him without noticing the baby is in fact Moloch. With Katrina’s power, the demon grows rapidly towards his fully form.
 * "The Akeda": Moloch, who managed to take his fully form, burns down the first two white trees to bring lightings and blood hails down to the town. After burning down the third tree, he summons his demon troops to roam the earth. Later, Moloch orders Henry to capture the Witnesses and their allies as soon as possible, even knowing Henry had his Horseman armor destroyed and in a vulnerable state and will die under the Sword of Methuselah. Moloch even states that there were Horsemen before Henry and there will be new Horsemen after him. After Henry captures Ichabod, Abbie, Katrina and Jenny, Moloch orders Henry to destroy Katrina and burn down the fourth tree, even knowing he WILL break his promise to Abraham of bringing Katrina to him. He coldly reveals that both Henry and Abraham are meaningless to him. Moloch’s words make Henry to see the demon’s true nature, and soon Henry stabs Moloch to death with the Sword of Methuselah. Forcing Henry to fight to his death and slaying Katrina without concerning Abraham is the WORST atrocity Moloch had ever committed, thus pushing him inside a deep dark hole without salvation once and for all.
 * "Posthumous": Moloch was possibly binded himself to the whole Purgatory, for his death triggered the Purgatory's turbulance, causing numerous evil spirits inside it escaped - including demons who were planning to unleash perhaps another Demon King for them to serve, the angel Orion who demanded genocide and almost suceeded, and Solomon Kent who is the key influence to Katrina's fall from grace. Then, even after Moloch's demise, the lives of millions of people around the world is still now at stake.
 * Headless Horseman: He steals a white horse as his new ride and kills the horse’s former owner, yet his first action to cross MEH is which he brutally chops down Sheriff Corbin’s head right after that. After having himself and Crane’s blood tie destroyed by Henry, the Headless Horseman was free to slaughter and then he immediately beheaded 4 Freemasonry leaders of Sleepy Hollow.
 * In "Tempus Fugit", he and a darkened Katrina Crane who travelled to the past planned to destroy Ichabod. The Horseman beheaded Benjamin Franklin and caused Abbie in the jail once again.
 * Jeremy Crane: After he reveals his identity as both the Horseman of War and Jeremy Crane, Henry hands Katrina to the Headless Horseman and buries Ichabod in the coffin where he laid for two centuries. Later, he claims Frank Irving's soul.
 * Sir Banastre Tarleton: He is a sadistic and twisted torturer who is fond of hanging and killing people (espeacially if the implication is there a traitor) without any mercy and regret. Furthermore, he secretly stalked Ichabod Crane and then brutally crossed the MEH when shot down Arthur Bernard, who Ichabod just spared, to die. Then, he angrily regards Ichabod as a traitor just before his transformation to his real demonic form, making all of his words against treachery became some sort of ironies.
 * Ancitif: While possessing Luke, Ancitif lets Devon brushing off all of the salts that Father Boland spread in front of the door and then kills Devon by snapping his neck. After taking control of Macey Irving, Ancitif beats Luke unconscious and leaves him to die. One vital thing is, both Luke and Devon were Ancitif’s former vessels, and yet Ancitif mercilessly attacked them both as soon as they were useless for him.
 * Pied Piper: The Piper made deals with the devil and slaughtered many people in brutal ways. For revenging Daniel Lancaster’s betrayal, the Piper kidnapped Lancaster children when they had their ten-year-old birthday by luring them into his lair using his magic flute. He froze or starved the children to death and used their bones to make his new flute. However, what makes the Piper a heinous complete monster is the sadistic choice he gave to Lancaster parents—if the kidnapped child survived or saved by someone else, other children in the family would fall ill and die in one day.
 * Mary Wells: After being returned from death as the Weeping Lady, she drowned Caroline from the jealousy of her friendship with Ichabod. She later attacked Abbie and nearly killed her. Then, Mary attacked Katrina after learning she is still alive and well.
 * Gina Lambert: In her human life, Lambert drove 51 patients to suicide and was executed. After becoming a ghost by Moloch, she hunted down Mills sisters under her master’s orders. Soon after, she let Lori Roberts takes two mental pills and drove her suicide. Soon, she plans a serial suicide among the patients of the Tarrytown psych.
 * Orion: He triggered the Mt. Vesuvius' eruption and destroyed Pompeii. He was also the mastermind of many disasters. He wants to purge the sin of humanity so he starts his genocide again and again.
 * Katrina Crane: During her plot in a fit of rage to kill Ichabod for revenge, Katrina killed at least two people to ensure her plan secure, and she is also responsible for Franklin's premature death. After her failure, she attempted to strangle Abbie to her death.
 * Conquest: He was responsible for the deathly plague of the lost colony of Roanoke. In present day, in order to free himself, the Horseman made the ghost of an infected child from the colony running into Sleepy Hollow, bringing plague to the town.

Star Wars

 * Lumiya: She turned Jacen Solo on the Dark Side and trained him as Darth Caedus.
 * Darth Caedus: He turned on the Dark side and murdered his aunt Mara Jade Skywalker. In an interesting fact, Caedus' means to crossed Moral Event Horizon was mirrored his composite Kylo Ren's own crossing that involved turned to the Dark Side and murder of one's own family member, though in Ren's case, he killed his father (Han Solo) instead.
 * Thrawn: During his military campaigns and conquered half of the galaxy and committed countless genocides.
 * Yuuzhan Vong: They conquered half of the galaxy and deformed many planets like Curuscant or destroyed like Ithor, killing 365 trillion sentient beings and devastated 20 planets.

Shakespeare's works

 * Lady Macbeth: She convinced her husband to kill king Duncan.
 * Macbeth: Crosses it when he committed a regicide of King Duncan to take his place.

Harry Potter

 * Lord Voldemort: It is said he was evil from the start, as J. K. Rowling has said before the Deathly Hallows came out, and that he was the only character who had no chance of redemption (despite Umbridge, Bellatrix, Greyback, Wormtail, and Crabbe (Goyle in the film), also crossing the Moral Event Horizon in their respective cases that can be seen below). In Half-Blood Prince, it is explained that the reason he turned to the dark side (or rather already there by the time of his birth) was due to his lack of love, something that his mother had not given to him before her death (even his conception was a result of a love potion or imperius curse, which can only imitate love). This practically made him live on a cursed life as a horrifying abomination/monster whose nature was the complete opposite of Harry's in some ways (for instance, Harry's mother-Lily-shielded Harry before her demise. Voldemort's mother, Merope, chose to die rather than raise him herself (although Merope may not have had a choice or supposedly had a chance to do otherwise, as she died a mere hour after giving birth to Voldemort). His known act of MEH crossings since his young age are:
 * Using his newfound magic to tortured 2 children in a cave and kill somebody's pet rabbit at a young age.
 * Creating his Horcruxes out of murders where when he created 3 of them, he framed those who are related with both his victims and objects that he converted to hide his tracks (namely Hagrid, Morfin, and the house-elf Hokey).
 * Murdered Harry Potter's parents.
 * Had Wormtail kill Cedric.
 * Wiping out unspecified numbers of innocent people to create an army of Inferi out of them.
 * Dolores Umbridge: Crosses it by sending Muggle Borns to Azkaban and threatening them with the Dementor's Kiss if they resist. It may have been before that, when she sicced 2 Dementors on Harry and his muggle cousin, Dudley, forced him to write lines with a Blood Quill, attacked Hedwig for his mail, threatened to use Veritaserum on him, and threatened to use the Cruciatus Curse on him.
 * Peter Pettigrew: Crosses it by betraying James, Lily, and Harry Potter to Voldemort and subsequently killing twelve Muggles at once via blasting curse and framing Sirius Black for these crimes immediately after betraying the Order of Phoenix. He crosses this again by killing Cedric and helping Lord Voldemort return to power. He did those things out of fear rather than loyalty to Voldemort, but these acts still make him despicable to the point where he can't be redeemed even though he does show a small amount of mercy when he remembers the life debt he owes Harry Potter.
 * Bellatrix Lestrange: Crosses it by torturing Neville's parents into insanity and killing Sirius only moments before his innocence was proven. She arguably became a Complete Monster by brutally torturing Hermione (which proved to be a fatal mistake as it led Hermione to steal a strand of her hair to use her appearance to infiltrate Gringgots Bank) and killing Dobby. She also tried to kill Ginny with the killing curse during the Battle of Hogwarts, which failed and led to her downfall at hands of Molly.
 * Fenrir Greyback: He was immediately established as a dark character when he is introduced in the series. He could have first crossed it when he bit Remus Lupin or more likely the first time he bit or killed a child. He definitely crossed it when he threatened to kill and eat Hermione Granger when she was being tortured by Bellatrix.
 * Vincent Crabbe: Tries to kill Hermione with Avada Kedavra in Deathly Hallows (which misses and incites Ron's fury in process), and later tries to incinerate the trio with Fiendfyre, which ironically ends up killing only him and even helps the trio by destroying the Horcrux they were looking for at the time.
 * Barty Crouch Jr.: He crosses it by taking part of the torture of Neville's parents, although it was never officially confirmed that he was involved it was most likely that he was since he was associated with the Death Eaters at the time. He crosses it again by killing his father. Also, he tries to kill Harry after his escape from graveyard.
 * Gilderoy Lockhart: Tries to erase Harry and Ron's memories while they're in the Chamber of Secrets, which would have prevented them from rescuing Ginny and getting out of the Chamber alive. Fortunately, this backfires due to him used Ron's damaged wand to do so and ironically erased his own memory.
 * Lucius Malfoy: He treated his house elf, Dobby, with extreme malice and cruelty. He also plants Tom Riddle's diary in Ginny's book bag, intending for it to work dark magic through her and revive Voldemort. In the movie, he even tries to kill Harry, but is fortunately stopped by Dobby.
 * Vernon Dursley: In Order of the Phoenix, he threatens to kick Harry out of the house knowing very well that doing so would put Harry in extreme danger, but he reluctantly gives in when Petunia gets a letter from Dumbledore and she tells him that Harry will have to stay.
 * Marvolo Gaunt: Mistreated his daughter Merope as well as mercilessly attacking aurors, whom attempted to arrest them for an attack on the Riddle family.
 * Morphin Gaunt: Attacked Tom Riddle Sr. by covering him in hives remorselessly just because his sister, Merope, was in love with Tom. He also attacked Bob Ogden and the other aurors who were attempting to arrest him.

Hunger Games

 * President Coriolanus Snow: President Snow is responsible for a series of atrocities throughout the majority of the Hunger Games series. The list is quite long, but he goes so far as to force the children of Panem to participate in the Hunger Games, murder almost all of Katniss's friends and family, and turn Peeta against her. Snow even makes it clear to Katniss that he will take away the people she loves. He also kills Cinna for making a Mockingjay costume.

 * Big Four: In original stories of Agatha Christie, they were members of a conspiracy organization in order to range war upon the world. They committed terrorist attack and murders, and they even set up a evil plot to destroy Poirot once and for all. No. 4 (Claud Darrell) set an explosion, which knocked down Hastings and killed Poirot (yet Poirot was later revealed to be survived).
 * However, in the TV series, the whole insane plot was solely set by No.4, Claud Darrell (real name whose real name is Albert Whalley, and whose most prominent disguise in the adaptation is that of Paynter's physician, Dr Quentin), while the rest three "members" were all pacifists under Darrell's incrimination and brainwashing. Darrell is a a brilliant but insane character actor who orchestrates the entire Big Four setup, feeding the press with sensational clues and threatening letters and killing his victims to implicate the Peace Party members (whom he then kidnaps and drugs with immobilizing Gelsemine) thus validating the organisation's existence. His motive in doing all of this is to attract the admiration of Flossie Monro, who becomes an unrequited lover whom he showers with anonymous gifts and cards expressing his love for her. It transpires that Flossie told him he wasn't good enough for her in the past, and the mad scheme is an attempt to make himself the international celebrity he believes she desires.

What seems to be just innocent fun to Carrie, wetting eveyone, the sprinklers water gets to close to all the electrical cords on the stage. Carrie looks in through the windows of the gymnasium doors and smiles as she sees everyone inside panicking as sparks fly everywhere and people are getting electrocuted one by one as the basketball ball court begins to flood, leaving no one safe from being electrified. Carrie even laughs when one female student is electrocuted and her body moves like a crazed puppet as volts of electricity dance through her body. Students are still desperately trying to open the doors and even looking back at Carrie through the thick glass. As the school building quickly catches fire and spreads. Even so, she didn't crossed this out of malice, but rather provoked by Chris Hargensen to do so.

 * David: Silently murdered Saddler, Jake and Rachel's cousin in cold blood so he could use his his DNA to disguised as the latter simply to regain his crippled normal life. This also reveals that his statement where he won't kill any humans was a mere taunt to Animorphs. He even goes so far in killing nothlit Animorph Tobias(whom used to be human but has break the law in morphing that resulting having body of red-tailed hawk) to mark his fall from grace, though it's turned out that he has unknowingly killed a random red-talied hawk whilst the real Tobias was lost his track on him.
