Moral Event Horizon

"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."

- Professor Albus Dumbledore regarding how far Lord Voldemort could have gone crossing MEH as he creates Horcruxes.

The "Moral Event Horizon", or "MEH" for short, refers to an action by wrongdoer that is so vile 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 villains who fall under Pure Evil are by definition beyond the Moral Event Horizon. However, crossing the Moral Event Horizon does not necessarily make a wrongdoer Pure Evil, 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 Purely Evil villain 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 Pure Evil.

 IMPORTANT NOTE: Listed below are things that should not be added on the list of MEHs: 


 * Fanon examples, as they would confuse the reader.
 * Certain flawed actions that done by characters that confirmed not evil nor antagonistic 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.
 * Acts of MEH are usually driven by malicious intentions that make the villain cruel enough to be taken seriously by heroes and other villains who are outright appalled 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 much 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. The damage was so great that remnants of Air Nomads still rebuilding their civilazation by the era of Avatar Korra.
 * 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.

 * 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.

 * "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.

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.

Dragon Ball

 * General Tao Pai Pai: The first most deadly villain 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: Crosses it when he 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: Crosses it when he 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: Crossed it when he 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.

 * 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.

 * Etemon
 * 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.

 * 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.

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.

 * 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 appears to simply be mentally disturbed when he kills his older sister, it is proven that 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.

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 usually crosses it a long of times when he deliberately wrecked havoc on Tokyo, killing million of humans.

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: Brutally crossed it when he 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 that 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.

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 begins crosing MEH when his quest to become most powerful and immortal shinobi led him illegally 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: While deserting his homeland to join Orochimaru in order to become more powerful out of vengeance indeed bad and showed no allegiance to any group from that point (having defected Konoha, Otogakure, and the Akatsuki when he no longer saw any use in them), Sasuke begins crossing MEH when 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 dangerously crossed this further when his hatred drove him attacked all kages and killing several samurai because they stood in his way to kill Shimura Danzo, stabbed his most loyal supporter Karin and left her to die, nearly killed his former teammate Sakura and former teacher Kakashi, all of which of led him becoming an international criminal. While in the end Sasuke revealed still have chance of redemption even with horrible things he had done, it's still require Naruto's help to ensure him gone straight as in spite of learning more of the truth about Itachi's crimes from resurrected Kages, Sasuke briefly considered to execute kages instead of save them and declared his revolution against the whole ninja system.
 * 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 and 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 casualties and only bring more harm than good.
 * 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: Having crossed MEH heinous enough to the point of many people despise him, so much that embittered but sympathetic tailed beasts (particularly Kurama) far more redeemable through following deeds:
 * 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 to demonstrate his clashing methods in uniting villages with Hashirama's.
 * 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.
 * As resurrected Edo Tensei, defeated the Five Kages easily, thus placing them in a near-death state as soon as breaking himself free from Kabuto's control.
 * Ordered Black Zetsu to control Obito to use the life-risking resurrection technique to him instead of the people who died on the war to finish what he had started.
 * Extracts Kurama from Naruto before stabs Sasuke in the heart and almost killed them both. To add insult to injury, when Naruto and Sasuke gets upper hand, Madara resorted to steal Kakashi's sharingan.
 * 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.
 * 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, was involved in the Uchiha Clan Genocide and in doing so being responsible for creating Sasuke's desire for vengeance, 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 did not 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 turns out that he silently mistreated Iruka in the same manner with when he mistreated Naruto, and also, during one of his missions, he brutally murdered his badly injured teammate via suffocation. He crossed MEH once more by starting riots in Konoha Prison. 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.

 * 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.

 * Princess Morbucks: In "Twas the Fight Before Christmas", she crosses it when she sneaks into the North Pole and switched the Nice and Naughty Lists in order to allow herself to obtain presents instead of coal (while the children worldwide would receive coal). This (among her other actions) forced Santa Claus to place her on the Permanent Naughty List

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 then 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.
 * Even worse, as The Coon, he tamed Cthulhu to destroy everything and everybody for his own personal amusement.
 * SkankHunt42: The worst Internet troll, he harasses all women and girls in internet with no reason. He made Freja Ollegard commit suicide. The girls started breaking up with their boyfriends.
 * 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.
 * Ultimately becomes a Complete Monster after he levels Toronto with a nuclear bomb in "Super Hard PCness".
 * 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 Citizens 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, sends a bounty hunter named Dennis to kill SpongeBob and Patrick and shows excitement and joy when Mr. Krabs is going to be killed. 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, and get more money (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 following the latest failed driving test. 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 to her disappointment.

Another evil act is blinding Kanan Jarrus on Malachor.

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  after he was gone.

 * 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.

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.

Transformers Film Series

 * Megatron: He, along with his master The Fallen, was the cause of Cybertron's destruction when Decepticons and Autobots have started a war that has destroyed much of Cybertron. These practically give a logical reason why Optimus Prime lost his sympathize towards him as his "brother", as he avenges this MEH crossing deed by either damaging his face with his own cannon in Revenge of the Fallen or de-spining him in Dark of the Moon.
 * In first movie, he killed Autobot Jazz by ripping him in half and almost Sam plunging towards his death.
 * After being resurrected in Revenge of the Fallen, he attempts to painfully rip Sam's skull open to read his thoughts, but is stopped by Optimus. Megatron then cowardly and brutally murders Optimus when his back is turned.

In Dark of the Moon, he assisted a Protoform soldier in killing Que/Wheeljack under Soundwave's orders.

The most frustrating part about him is that his MEH crossings are unable to be avenged because he is unable to stay dead.
 * Starscream: He crippled Ironhide and Ratchet and killed many human soldiers in the first film. He blew up the Autobot starship Xantium in Dark of the Moon under Dylan's orders and took down some NEST Ospreys, and the novel adaptation also had him killing Dino/Mirage.

In the Nefarious comic sequel, he murders the young Autobot Breakaway, sends his animal minions on Bumblebee, Jolt, Knockout, and Dune Runner, and ultimately steals the plans for a replica All-Spark after helping them take down Carter Newell. In Dark of the Moon, he ordered Laserbeak to kill anyone affiliated with the Moon Landing Project (which possibly included one member's family), threatened to torture Carly, sent Barricade and a Protoform soldier to kill Que/Wheeljack. In an unused draft which is still seen in the comic and junior novel adaptations, he personally kills Dino/Mirage and uses his corpse to taunt the captured Autobots. His crossing of MEH are all avenged when Bumblebee kills him.
 * The Fallen: He betrayed his brother Primes out of pure spite toward humans by tring to gather Energon from Earth's sun, which could have annihilated the planet in the past. He tries to resume his plans once more after Megatron had assassinated Optimus, but ultimately killed by a revived Optimus himself.
 * In early drafts seen in the comic and novel adaptations, The Fallen promised Megatron the powers of a Prime, something that Optimus would later expose as a lie. This would lead to him betraying him and leaving him to die. The video game adaptation additionally depicts The Fallen battling Megatron.
 * Bludgeon: In "Culture Shock", a Titan Magazine comic set after Revenge of the Fallen, Bludgeon went on a rampage in Las Vegas, weakening and taunting the young Autobot Jolt in the process. He tried to fire his tank mode at some hapless gamblers only for Jolt to take the shots. He nearly tried to kill Jolt, yet the Autobot was able to electrocute him to defeat. However, it is later revealed in "Inside Out!" that he purposefully allowed himself to be captured by NEST so that he could spark a jailbreak and form a splinter faction of Decepticons. Once this was accomplished thanks to Scalpel, Bludgeon murdered fellow Decepticon Brakedown to encourage discipline amongst the other 'Cons (Skywarp, Tankor, Lockdown, Dead End, Thrust, and Reverb) before leading a vicious attack on the few helpless Autobot guards: Brawn, Smokescreen, and Wideload. He was stopped short of murdering Brawn by the arrival of Bumblebee, Springer, and Gears, but Optimus allowed him and his new army to leave to prevent civilian casualties. After Bumblebee, Hubcap, and Slap Dash neutralized Crankstart, Brimstone, and Trenchmouth in Utah, Bludgeon declared open war on the Autobots with a scheme to tear down NEST before coming for them ("Shadow War"). Surprisingly, he formulates an all-out assault once Wheelie turns traitor and informs him of his enemies' arrival. Sending Lockdown, Dead End, and Tankor to surprise the Autobots, Skywarp and Thrust proceed to box them in with strikes from above and shoot Springer out of the sky. Revealing that they have been betrayed, Bludgeon personally murders Slap Dash with his sword and weakens Hubcap with energy shurikens ("Divided Loyalties"). However, he is suddenly beaten by Megatron, who was unimpressed with Bludgeon's insubordination yet spared him in case he was useful ("A Short, Sharp Lesson"). In the Unite for the Universe comic, Bludgeon is tasked by Megatron to acquire the Project Unite technology in exchange for control over the Decepticons on Earth. However, the mission went sour because Starscream tipped off the Autobots, wanting the power of Project Unit for himself. While Autobots and Starscream's Decepticons clashed, Bludgeon attempted to extract revenge on Starscream, only to be overpowered by Starscream and taken into NEST custody. In the Rising Storm comics, Bludgeon is shown killing Storm Surge, mistaking him for Mirage. Nevertheless, all of Bludegon's MEH crossings are avenged once he is taken out by a gunshot wound to the chest near the end of Rising Storm.
 * Carter Newell: Following the death of his parents at the hands of the ancient Seeker Fortress, Newell began plotting the seeds for the extinction of all Cybertronian life using a replica of the destroyed All-Spark, yet was ultimately undone by Optimus Prime and was slain by Buzzsaw. Fortress sought to right all be unknowingly caused by taking the unstable replica All-Spark away from Earth. Newell also killed both Kirkpatrick and Reedman, and brainwashed Ravage, Ransack, Armorhide, Blazemaster, Tankor, Skystalker, Brawn, Smokescreen, Sonar, and Thrust, and some unknown bots that are possibly Lockdown and Divebomb.
 * Skywarp: Skywarp was in charge of the attempted resurrection of Devastator, only to be undone by the Autobot Stratosphere in the Titan Magazine comic "Head in the Clouds". He later tried to recruit the impulsive Blazemaster to Bludgeon's army in "Turn and Burn", claiming that the Autobot has what is takes to become a Decepticon. In "Divided Loyalties", he assists Thrust in boxing in the Autobots and taking down Springer.
 * Dead End: Tore off Jolt and Dune Runner's arms, reduced Wheelie to shreds, and injured Bumblebee during Christmas. These crossings are avenged when he was taken down by the yellow Autobot.
 * Crankstart, Brimstone, and Trenchmouth: When the Autobots were becoming hated due to Bludgeon's machinations, the trio went on a rampage through Salt Lake City, though this MEH is avenged once they are neutralized by the Autobots Bumblebee, Hubcap, and Slap Dash.
 * Sentinel Prime: He betrayed the Autobots to the Deceptions, executed Ironhide and many NEST soldiers, 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. On top of that, damage that he caused was too great; human government lost their faith with the Autobot, and Harold Attinger uses it as propaganda against Cybertronians on earth further.
 * In early drafts of Dark of the Moon seen in the comic and novel adaptations, Sentinel tried to kill Bumblebee after killing Ironhide, only for Skids to take the shot. He also killed Mudflap and would have done the same to Optimus at the Lincoln Memorial, though he spared him instead to save the spacebridge pillars when they came under attack.
 * Dylan Gould: Betrayed humankind to the Decepticons and worked as their spy, ordered his bodyguards to beat Sam and had Starcream shoot the Autobot's ship. He also personally blackmailed, mocked and attempted to kill him. Other reasons to hate him was when Dylan reveal his true color, he has already became one of high-ranking Decepticon command and receiving disappointing comeuppance (electrocuted by one of Sentinel's pillar).
 * Shockwave: According to the Rising Storm comics and the Dark of the Moon video game, Shockwave is a powerful assassin. On Cybertron, he murdered Elita-1's sister Chromia. When revived on Earth by Megatron, Shockwave kills the All-Spark Mutation-turned-Autobots Longarm and Salvage and several humans near Dalian, China. He also instructs Astrotrain to work on a project involving his pet Driller and a Brain Unit, instructing him to terminate the latter once he has exceeded his usefulness. Anticipating the drone's gaining-of-sentience (during which he remains himself "Brains") while observing Autobots capture Fearswoop after killing Skystalker and Divebomb, he instructs Starscream and his men to retrieve the drone, killing Deadlift once he attempted to defend his master. Starscream's forces converge on Brains only to encounter Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Mirage, and even the diminutive turncoat Wheelie in Philadelphia. With the NEST base in Diego Garcia undermanned, Shockwave proceeds to kill Knockout, Dune Runner, and the mentally-impaired Autobots (Armorhide, Blazemaster, Smokescreen, and Brawn) before turning towards the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, Theodore Galloway told him that he was. However, Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one and asked his question one more time. After making short work of Jolt and freeing Fearswoop, he made his way to Philadelphia, where he killed Elita-1 (fresh from her battle with Astrotrain) and critically injured Wheeljack and Mirage. He was about to be plummeted to death by Optimus Prime only to be rescued by his Driller. In the Dark of the Moon film, Shockwave siccs his Driller on Sam, Carly, Epps, and other humans and knocks Optimus out of the sky once his pet is killed. All of his EMH crossings are avenged once Optimus kills him, though this would later result in Nitro Zeus making his way to Earth to avenge him.
 * Lockdown (Transformers Film Series): Starts by ripping the spark out of the gravely injured Ratchet, killing him. Later Lockdown destroys the Yeager family home during the Cemetery Wind chase scene in Texas and kills Cade's friend Lucas by throwing a grenade and turning the man into a statue of Transformium. He also tries to recapture Optimus by using a giant magnet from his ship by absorbing metallic objects then dropping them on the Autobots in Hong Kong endangering many civilians in the process. The Titan Magazine comics also show that Lockdown, an ex-Decepticon, murdered Knucklehead once Megatron died in Chicago, and temporarily took command of the Decepticons that survived that battle only to be hunted by the Autobots. He also claims that he was sent by techno-organic aliens dubbed "The Creators", though Quintessa would later claim herself to be the one who sent Lockdown after Optimus in the first place.
 * Harold Attinger: Uses the casualties of Chicago as propaganda against Cybertronians on Earth further, allowing no one to against him when he had Ratchet, Sideswipe, Leadfoot, and many other Autobots (possibly including Dino/Mirage and Roadbuster, given that Wheelie and Topspin are later shown to be alive in The Last Knight) hunted down and killed, and purging other humans for choosing Transformers over humanity, until his nefarious actions are ultimately put into an end at hands of Optimus Prime and Cade Yeager alongside the latter's family and Autobots Bumblebee, Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs. Other reasons to hate him are that he had manipulated both the Autobot 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 ultimately become his undoing when he uses Megatron's remains to create Galvatron, who not only revived Megatron but also evolved into a stronger Transformer that proceeded to take control of Stinger, Junkheap, and all the other artificial Transformers, turning them into Decepticons. Fortunately, most of his actions are avenged when Optimus shoots him down, but this is not enough to clear the Autobots' names until Cade reveals to Santos and the Transformers Reaction Force that the real reason humanity turned on the Autobots was because they merely gave up on them.
 * Joshua Joyce's betrayal as soon as he aware with Attinger's dark nature also revealed that this whole record of MEHs would threaten to ruined both KSI and Joyce's good name and turned them all into war criminals. All of these are something that Joyce greatly despised, as in fact, Joyce actually wants to made the world into the better place, not induce the chaos toward it instead like what Attinger actually done in spite of his intentions.
 * James Savoy: Was first shown leading an attack on Ratchet and stated that his sister was among the humans killed in Chicago, justifying his reason for joining Cemetery Wind. 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. Worse, in his last attempt to take their lives, he was completely indifferent with Cade whom tell him that he understand the pain that he has, and Cade was ultimately forced to let James fall to his death.
 * Quintessa: Claiming herself to be the creator of the Transformers race, she brainwashed Optimus into helping her reclaim her staff, which had been "stolen" by the Guardian Knights once they betrayed her, though they claim that Quintessa is a liar. The staff was the key to her plan of killing Earth/Unicron in an effort to revitalize Cybertron/Primus. Though this went unmentioned in the film proper, she also tasked Megatron/Galvatron with finding the staff and was possibly responsible for reformatting him into a new body.
 * Dreadbot: Prior to being captured by the Transformers Reaction Force, Dreadbot broke into a human bank and killed nine humans, surprisingly all without taking any money. This MEH crossing is avenge once Dreadbot is eaten by Grimlock.
 * Berserker: Berserker is considered to be the most homicidal Decepticon in the entire live-action continuity family, going as far as to suck human blood/brains (depending on how his one line of dialogue in The Last Knight is heard). Because of this, he is left in TRF custody.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

 * Yami Marik: He caused Marik's turn into villainy. During Battle City Finals, Yami Marik crosses it when he gleefully 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.
 * Yami Bakura: He crosses it by possessing Ryo Bakura, trapping Yugi's friends' souls, and forcing Yugi to a Shadow RPG Game.
 * Weevil Underwood: He rips up a card that he claimed contained Yugi's soul, which would have killed him, yet he then revealed that he was only kidding as the card was a common Insect type card.
 * Zorc Necrophades: He crosses it when sacrificing his pawn, Thief King Bakura, in order to revive himself. He also destroys as many of Atem's minions as possible. Besides, Zorc is even worse in the anime than his original counterpart in the manga. In the anime, he and Yami Bakura are entirely one and the same, making him the mastermind of Yami Bakura's heinous actions.

Disney and Pixar films

 *  Ernesto de la Cruz: Driven mad by greed and jealousy, he poisoned his own bandmate and stole his songs, which was the real reason why Héctor never made it home after leaving his family and led to the Rivera Family forbidding music. Later, he crossed the line when he "extended" Miguel's stay and deliberately threw him over the side of a building without a shred of empathy.
 * Dawn Bellwether: Driven by racial and political hatred, she darts predators with a serum made from the juice of Night Howlers, making them go savage and throwing Zootopia into chaos without being noticed, going so far as to leave many animals prejudiced or even injured. She even crosses the line when she nearly kills Judy Hopps by attempting to poison Nick with the serum before she is fooled.
 * Jafar: Crosses it when he lies to Princess Jasmine about Aladdin being executed.
 * Ursula: She lured merpeople to their doom and imprisoned them in her lair, but she crosses the line when she sabotages her bargain with Ariel and attempts to trick Prince Eric into marrying her, taking King Triton's trident and crown and turning him to a polyp when her plan succeeds.
 * Gaston: He threatens to put Maurice in an insane asylum if Belle refuses to marry him. In the final battle with the Beast, after the Beast spares his life, Gaston rewards him by literally stabbing him in the back.
 * Paolo Valisari: Pretends to be in love with Lizzie McGuire, but was in fact manipulating her to pose as his look alike ex-girlfriend/singing partner Isabella to frame Isabella for lip-syncing and humiliate Lizzie in the International Music Video Awards.
 * Lyle Tiberius Rourke: Planned to steal the Heart of Atlantis all along without telling Milo and punched the King of Atlantis, mortally wounding him given how old he is. It was enough for Dr. Sweet to turn against Rourke and try to unsuccessfully treat the King's wounds. He also punched Milo down for his "soapbox", and stepped on the picture of Milo and his late grandfather, breaking the glass of the frame.
 * Prince Hans: He manipulates the naive Princess Anna by getting her to fall for him and rule her kingdom. When Anna was revealed to be slowly freezing to death, Hans betrays her and leaves her to her doom. Later, he uses her alleged death as an excuse to charge Queen Elsa with treason and attempts to carry out her execution himself.
 * Governor Ratcliffe: In the end of the first film, he crosses it when he tries to shoot at Chief Powhatan, but Smith takes the bullet, but survives as it is not fatal. Thomas and his gang are appalled by this and discover him for the liar he was. In the sequel, he allows Smith to fall to his "death" and tells the King that he has died but after he finds out he was still alive, he hires a circus performer to bear bait in front of Pocahontas and the king's court to make Pocahontas act savage and be punished by the king to get her out of the way so he can declare war on the Powhatan tribe with his fleet.
 * Man: In one of the most memorable and traumatizing scenes in cinema, he shot Bambi's mother off screen, leaving the young fawn motherless and his father mateless in the cold.
 * Syndrome: Though given a sympathetic backstory by being firmly rejected by Mr. Incredible when he wanted to be his sidekick, he crossed the line when he shot a missile at Mr. Incredible's family twice, believing that he would get over it as he told him that he worked alone. He and Mirage also killed several superheroes in the past so he could pretend to be a superhero and eventually sell his own inventions so that nobody would actually be super.
 * Ramsley: Poisons Elizabeth Henshaw and lies to Master Edward Gracey by claiming she committed suicide which caused him into killing himself. This was responsible for the curse of the Gracey Manor (also known as the Haunted Mansion).
 * Percival C. McLeach: Used Cody as bait to catch the rare eagle by lying to him that another poacher had already killed her and left the eggs without a mother. He later attempted to feed Cody to a swarm of crocodiles when he had outlived his usefulness.
 * Scar: Killed his brother, Mufasa, to become king of the Pridelands by shoving him over a cliff to his death. Afterwards, he blames Simba for it to make him go into self-exile. During his and Simba's confrontation, Scar even betrays his 3 henchmen and their fellow Hyenas, telling Simba that all that happened was their fault/idea.
 * Zira: Menacingly threatened Kiara, abused her own son, threatened to kill an entire pride, ambushed Simba and greviosuly wounded him, later attacked Kovu, then threatened to kill her own daughter before trying to attack Simba once more.
 * Judge Claude Frollo: Killed Quasimodo's mother and tried to drown him simply because he was deformed. 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.
 * In Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, he crosses it when he plans to use the Wargoyle Dream Eater to pass "righteous judgement" on all the gypsies. Even Riku explained "Once you've fallen that far, there's almost no coming back".
 * Shan-Yu: Had one of his men kill one of the two messengers, obliterates an entire village, and (presumably) kills an innocent girl who lost her doll.
 * Lots-O' Huggin' Bear: Despite the fact that at the beginning he was depicted as an evil and sadistic governor, he crosses the MEH by abandoning Woody and his friends to die in the incinerator after they save him by not pressing the emergency stop button, yelling "Where's you kid now, Sheriff?", thus cementing him as the most depraved villain to ever appear in a Toy Story or Pixar 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.
 * Prince John: Ordered Friar Tuck to be hanged, knowing that in doing so he would lure out Robin Hood. Sir Hiss was shocked that he would do such a thing.
 * Cecil Clayton: Crosses it when he shoots Kerchak, mortally wounding him. He also tries to kill Tarzan, even after he spares his life. This is similar to Gaston's behavior and much like Gaston, this leads to his death.
 * Cutler Beckett: Hanged anyone associated with pirates, including a young boy, and later killed Governor Weatherby Swann simply for finding out that he who stabs Davy Jones must take his place as the Flying Dutchman's captain.
 * Randall Boggs and Henry J. Waternoose III: Planned to kidnap all children and (possibly) kill them just to keep a company going.
 * Turbo/King Candy: He left his game titled TurboTime and tried to take over the newer videogame RoadBlasters out of pure envy, and he later invaded Sugar Rush and turned Vanellope von Schweetz into a glitch while trying to delete her code, becoming its ruler. 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.
 * Tex Richman: In order to shut down the Muppet Theater, Tex uses an ax to cut down the power and uses his car to cut off the telephone wires by backing it up towards the phone tower, thus ruining the Muppet Telethon.
 * Amos Slade: Comes dangerously close to crossing it when he is about to shoot Tod even after he saved his and Copper's lives, but manages to avoid it when Copper convinces him to stand down and let Tod live.
 * Giant Magnet: Although originally designed to destroy, he constantly tried to send the appliances on the conveyor belt, which leads to the crusher. Later, he placed their "master" on to the belt.
 * Chick Hicks: Deliberately sideswiped King just to win the Piston Cup. The crowd turned on him and booed him for this.
 * Judge Doom: Plotted the genocide of his own Toon species with Dip. In the past, he was responsible for killing Eddie's brother by dropping a piano on him. One of his most horrible acts was dunking a cartoon shoe in a vat of dip with sadistic glee.
 * The Coachman: Crosses the MEH when he ran a place known as Pleasure Island that turned little boys into donkeys and then sold them to slavery. When Lampwick turned into a donkey, it was considered to be one of the scariest moments in cartoon history.
 * Miles Axlerod: Though his identity has not yet been revealed at this time, he orders that McQueen be killed for saying that he'll continue to use Allinol in the next race. Double-bill as Professor Z is the one who is given the order and is more than willing to carry it out. 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.
 * Bradley Uppercrust III: Attempted to injure his opponents in the X-Game finals (in methods which could have severely injured or even killed them). He even callously leaves his right hand man Tank to die in the burning X-Games fabric logo. Max and Goofy rescue Tank and Max beats Brad to the finish line. Tank then turns on Brad for betraying him and slingshots him into the X-Games Blimp.
 * Captain Hook: In the first film, he left Tiger Lily to drown at Skull Rock because she refused to tell him where Peter Pan lives, kidnapped the Darling children and the Lost Boys (along with Tinkerbell earlier), and attempts to kill Peter Pan in the final confrontation. In Return to Never Land, He kidnaps Jane (thinking she was Wendy) and attempts to lure Peter to his demise by feeding Jane to a huge octopus. 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. He also disposes of his 2 new cohorts via the Parasite Spell.
 * Hopper: He enslaved the ants and then overran their island for failing to deliver the food he ordered despite the grasshoppers not needing it, with the intention of murdering their queen. He crosses the MEH when he nearly fed Dot to Thumper, sicced him on Flik, and almost killed our hero two times (nearly crushing his head and throttling him before receiving his comeuppance).
 * Charles Muntz: In a bid to clear his name after he is stripped of his membership at the beginning of the film, Muntz goes so far as to murder explorers who enter his territory. He crosses the line when he sets Carl's house on fire as he captures Kevin then almost kills Russell by dropping him out of his airship.
 * Dr. Kozak has been abducting animals and doing illegal lab tests, but he most definitely crosses the line when he injects company CEO Lance Strictland with a drug that will paralyze him for several months, giving Kozak enough time to usurp control of the company. Even his assistant scientists are horrified.

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: 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. The Chancellor also abused the Machine by pushed it beyond its limit in the construction of war machines, which is in turn what led to the Machine going insane and initiating an (initially-successful) omnicide against all life.
 * Preed: graduates from a Comic Relief supporter to all-out evil when he shoots Akima through the shoulder as she and Cale are fleeing the ship. As if that wasn't enough, he leaves Stith and Gune with communicator wristwatch-- which turns out to actually be a bomb-- which nearly kills Gune. Then he betrays Korso and holds him, Cale and Akima at Gunpoint, stating that if he kills the three before the Drej arrive, the Drej will spare his own life. After a brief fight, Preed eventually meets his end when Korso sneaks up from behind and snaps Preed's neck, killing him.
 * Chef:

The Mystical Laws

 * Emperor Tathagata Killer: He has many candidates for these, but his worst action was arguably the most malign when he created tsunamis and earthquakes in order to cause millions of deaths.

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. Considering the fact that they are simply monstrous machines, they are never meant to achieve redemption since their creation.
 * 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.
 * The Headmaster: Tortured and abused Russell Collins along with other mutants at his orphanage until Russell went insane and tried to kill him, if Russell had succeeded, he would have become a warlord as an adult.
 * Magneto:
 * Arguably crosses the MEH when he chooses revenge against Shaw over proving himself the better man, and subsequently tries to turn the US and Soviet ships' launched missiles on them rather than just detonate the missiles at a safe distance. This deed marked his fall to the dark side.
 * He was willing to sacrifice the teenage and helpless Rogue for his machine to work, something that Wolverine pointed out was a despicable act ("You're so full of shit. If you were really so righteous it'd be you in that thing").
 * Allows Jean Grey to turn back into Phoenix, a destructive wild creature, and he ordered Juggernaut to kill Leech despite fighting for Mutant equality and knowing that Leech was just a defenseless child.

 * Quill (X-Men: The Last Stand) and Psylocke (X-Men: The Last Stand): Murdered Dr. Kavita Rao and almost killed Dr. Worthington.
 * William Stryker (X-Men Movies): He manipulated Logan to make him Wolverine, captured mutant teens to experiment on, and turned Wade Wilson into Deadpool.
 * Jason Stryker: Used illusions on Charles Xavier to eradicate the human race by Cerebro 2.0., though he likely did it due to Mystique's manipulation as his original victims were supposedly mutants via his vindictive father's part before Mystique's interference. Earlier he used his mind control power as well as illusionism to make his mother commit suicide as child while he blamed his own 2 parents for his mutant condition.
 * Mystique (X-Men Movies): She reversed Cerebro so that it would target all humans, effectively coming close to annihilating the entire human race. In the past, she also tried to kill the creators of Sentinels, which brought about the near extinctinction of the entire mutant race.
 * Jean Grey: As Dark Phoenix, she killed Scott Summers and Charles Xavier, joined Magneto, and massacred soldiers on Alcatraz. 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.
 * Lady Deathstrike (X-Men Movies): She captured Scott Summers and Charles Xavier and attempted to murder Wolverine.

Jurassic Park

 * Dennis Nedry: Crosses this in a petty manner by deactivating every single security system in Jurassic Park just as means to stealing some vials of dinosaur DNA for a company where he was truly affiliated with. Though this was the only purpose, his actions inevitably caused death to some humans in Jurassic Park and his own at the hands of a Dilophosaurus whom killed him and unknowingly foiled his plans to escape.
 * Peter Ludlow: Hiring a group of hunters to capture dinosaurs and even harming a baby T-Rex just for recreating Jurassic Park against John Hammond's wishes which fearfully could cause disaster that would be worse than in Isla Nublar.
 * The Indominus rex: Killed her own sibling and murdered people and dinosaurs for sport.
 * Eli Mills: Crosses it when he left the DPG to die in Isla Nublar by using the eruption of Mt. Sibo, and kills Benjamin Lockwood later on. He is also infamous for poaching dinosaurs.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

 * Thanos: 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. In the film, Avengers: Infinity War, despite the fact he felt great sadness for it, he sacrificed his own daughter, Gamora, just so he could get possession of the Infinity Soul Stone so he could complete his Infinity Gauntlet so he could succeed in his goal, the random murder of half the universe's population.
 * 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.
 * Obadiah Stane: Obadiah 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.
 * 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.
 * Red Skull: The Skull definitely crossed it 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 imperfect 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.
 * 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.
 * Malekith the Accursed: Crosses the MEH when he orders Kurse to execute Thor's mother, Frigga.
 * Kurse: Crosses the MEH when he kills Frigga under the orders of his master, Malekith, and then nearly kills Loki.
 * 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.
 * Ronan the Accuser: He betrayed Thanos and kept the purple 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, 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.
 * Darren Cross: For no reason at all, he killed his associate Frank with an imperfect shrink gun. He also forced his former mentor Hank Pym out of his own company, Pym Technologies, with the intentions of replication his work for military purposes and tried to attack Scott Lang's daughter Cassie and Officer Paxton in retaliation for the destruction of the company.
 * Ego : While reluctantly 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 bad enough, Ego had callously crosses MEH by 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 (i.e. Peter Quill/Star-Lord) and, together with the child, kill everything in the world and make the world theirs, committing cataclysm.
 * 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.
 * Ellen Nadeer : In order to prove her loyalty to the Inhuman/Human first hate group known as the Watchdogs, she murdered her own brother, Vijay Nadeer.

Also when she won the bike challenge, she betrays her friend Lindsay, causing her to lose in a bike race and get voted off. She admits she was using her and was never her friend.

 * Mal: Mal crosses this many times as part of his sociopathic persona, such as imprisoning Mike and his personalities inside his mind, attempting to hurt and kill multiple contestants for no reason, sadistically watching Zoey almost get painfully eaten alive by piranhas, and would have allowed it if he could keep his cover as Mike. He then later attempts to mentally break Zoey by constantly taunting her about Mike being gone forever.

(through Shallowgrave).

Elfen Lied

 * Lucy: Frequently killed countless people (especially while invading their homes at night as a child). Eventually, she even murdered Kouta's sister and father out of envy.
 * The Bullies (particularly Tomoo): Although minor villains, the bullies are highly remembered by many in one of the most hated scenes in anime and can be considered as one of the worst known Moral Event Horizon Crossers where they bullied Lucy for fun & brutally killing her pet puppy on purpose by forcing her to watch without any remorse, thus causing their own demise. 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. This makes him one of the most evil and cruel villains of Elfen Lied.

It is also implied that he was the reason for Father's fear of broccoli.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

 * Mister Ruckus: Took his hatred for white people out on his son Uncle Ruckus, and kicking him out of their house at a young age. This, combined with his wife's praise of white people, and convincing Uncle he is really Caucasian, is what made Ruckus hate black people.

Sword Art Online

 * Akihiko Kayaba: Cross it by prevents the whole SAO players from returning to the real world at the beginning of the series and giving them the challenge to defeat his avatar as the only way to return to real world.
 * Nobuyuki Sugou: Prevents around 300 SAO players from returning to the real world in order to use them as test subjects for his research on controlling peoples' feelings, memories, in other words, research on the manipulation of the human soul.

Tries to kill Kirito and tortures him by turning the pain absorber program level down so that Kirito would experience real pain from the injuries. Later tries to kill Kazuto in the real world. This MEH actions proved to be far more sinister and depraved compared with Akihiko's own crossing, in which the manifestation of his consciousness in virtual world decided to came to help Kirito to defeat Sugou's avatar.

Gravity Falls

 * Lil' Gideon: Because of his delusion, he tried to kill Dipper many times and he stole his uncle's house and store. He also lied to the naive people who all loved him about his supernatural powers when they were just souvenir pins with hidden cameras. His sole reason to be bad is his jerkish personality and mocking people. In his reappearance in season 2, he forcibly mind controls his father in an election and tries to blow up Dipper, Mabel, and Stan after losing the election.
 * Preston Northwest: Crosses this in "Northwest Mansion Mystery" when he was willing to let all his guests, including four children, die rather than swallow his pride and let in the common people of the town. Not to mention being extremely emotionally abusive towards Pacifica, up to and including having her trained to respond to a bell with contrition like one of Pavlov's dogs. During the apocalypse he wanted to join Bill, but instead Bill decided to put his ears where Preston's eyes should be, a single abnormally large eye in his mouth, and part of the nose where his ear should be.
 * Bill Cipher: Bill is the worst of them all; He is a demon who planned to use Ford and make him build a machine where the Nightmare Realm will fuse with Gravity Falls, causing the apocalypse. He also stops time and traps Mabel in a time prison bubble. His henchmen kidnap the citizens from Gravity Falls, who he turns to stone. He also kills Time Baby. He and his friends saw all this simply as entertainment and decide to party, but this was just the first part of Bill's plan.

Steven Universe

 * Homeworld Gems: The entirety of Gem Homeworld's chain of command seems to have crossed this pre-series. While they were already perceived to be a threat, having fought a large-scale war and attempted to colonize Earth with little regard to the people who already lived there, the depth of their cruelty and disregard for life had never been clearly shown until it was revealed they have been creating forced fusions out of shattered gems, essentially committing necrophilic rape on millions of other Gems. It gets even worse when it is revealed that they had given up on the Earth to instead use the planet as an incubator for a gigantic forced fusion that will destroy all of Earth once it hatches.
 * Jasper: Destabilized Garnet, head-butted Steven into unconsciousness, disregarded Peridot's orders, forced Lapis Lazuli to fuse with her, broke Amethyst's spirit, tormented numerous Gem Monsters into submission, and (worst yet) deliberately refused Steven's help when she was becoming corrupted. All of this is stemmed from the fact that "[she has] been fighting from the second [she] broke free from the Earth's crust" in an attempt to avenge her fallen master Pink Diamond.
 * Eyeball: Attempted to murder Steven, under the impression that he is in fact Rose Quartz.
 * Aquamarine: Kidnapped Steven's friends to be imprisoned in a zoo full of humans, easily overpowered the Crystal Gems, and kept Topaz in line with threats of being shattered/separated.
 * Yellow Diamond: Of all the Homeworld Gems, Yellow Diamond holds the least regard for organic life. She wants nothing more than for Earth to be destroyed and erased for their people's records by any means necessary, and for Rose Quartz (who she mistakes Steven for in the fifth season premiere) to be executed, going as far as to silence anyone who defies/objects to her desires.

Transformers: Prime/Robots in Disguise

 * Megatron: 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 destroyed the Autobots' base on Earth, Outpost Omega-1, after having discovered its location. Megatron 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. He manipulated 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. Ultimately, Megatron (after being broken free of Unicron's possession in "Predacons Rising") realizes that his quest for conquest has been for nothing, resulting in him abandoning the Decepticons forever.
 * Silas/Cylas: 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. Though in the end Arcee finally defeat her by trick her into Insecticon pod, freezing her in process. However, this was the beginning of Airachnid's actual retribution as due to chaos in the episode "Thirst", she ended up become a vampiric Terrorcon.
 * Soundwave: After escaping the Shadowzone in his Robots in Disguise debut, he tried to summon an army of Decepticons to Earth. Later in Combiner Force, he manipulated Activator Mini-Cons and Steeljaw's pack to steal Decepticon Hunters and nuclear waste, the latter for a beacon generator that would have irradiated all life on Earth.
 * Cyclonus: As revealed in the Robots in Disguise two-part series finale, Cyclonus and his armada (consisting of Cyberwarp, Skyjack, Treadshock, and Riotgear) overthrew the High Council and disguised themselves as Autobots, brainwashed the Autobot populace into submission, tried to bury Optimus Prime's legacy, blacklisted practically every Autobot, gave Soundwave the idea of constructing a nuclear beacon generator, set Steeljaw's pack and a brainwashed Dropforge on Bumblebee's Autobot team as distractions, and ultimately planned to send an invasion force after Soundwave failed. All of this was because Cyclonus wanted Megatron back to restart the Decepticon Empire, yet was either unconvinced or unaware of Megatron's "change of spark". When he repeatedly punched Bumblebee during their battle in their combined forms Ultra Bee and Galvatronus, this proved to be his undoing as Cyberwarp turned on Cyclonys and gave Ultra Bee an opening to end his reign of terror.

Ed, Edd n Eddy

 * Kevin: 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. In addition, he joined the other kids in mocking Edd (Double D) for having an embarrassing middle name (Marion).
 * Sarah: In the episode, Run For Your Ed, she betrayed the Eds to the Kankers (with an |evil grin) because the Eds possess their ship in a bottle, thinking they would suffer the same fate as she and the other kids in the Cul-De-Sac.
 * Jimmy: In the episode If I Smells Like An Ed, he framed the Eds for ruining Friendship Day and tied up Johnny and covering him in Jujubes candy all because of the wedgie Eddy gave him earlier. On top of that, he never got any comeuppance besides a little karma of slipping on a banana peel.
 * Eddy's Brother: Crosses the line with his sadistic and cold-hearted treatment of Eddy, gleefully admitting he has always been doing it which causes distress to the other Eds. Even Kevin, Nazz, Rolf, Sarah, Jimmy, and the Kanker Sisters are disgusted, especially when he attacks Edd for trying to defend Eddy.

The character Haydee Tebelin was purposefully sent to the opera house so that she could be forced to see Fernand Mondego, the killer of her father and the one responsible for her and her dead mother's enslavement, making her have post-traumatic stress that would eventually build up until she confronted Mondego during his campaign.

Afterward, the Count plays chess, seemingly treating his cruel actions as if they were nothing, and when Haydee confronts the Count, Bertuccio is ordered to take her away. And in the semifinal episode "Edmond Dantes", the Count still wanted revenge even as he was dying, only somewhat affected by Albert's intervention.

If it had never been for Kitty and Dudley, Snaptrap would have killed hundreds of innocent civilians.

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. And he deceived and manipulated his underlings feelings with his charisma for his own ego.

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.".

Tales Series

 * Van Grants: Manipulated Luke Von Fabre into destroying Akseriuth, thus causing every civilian to die and having Luke (briefly) losing all respect from his friends.

 * Emeraude: Although a minor villainess, Emeraude was considered the true cause of Lambda's evil and the Little Queen's birth. She had him put through several experiments, tried to have him destroyed when he caused chaos around the humanoid research center (though unintentionally, cause he was young and innocent), and had her humanoids kill Director Cornell. It was then that she decided to create Protos Heis/Sophie in order to help rid Fodra (later Ephinea) of Lambda.

 * Maximillian Lionfang: In the Thunderforge saga, he begins torturing the staff of Artix Entertainment in an attempt to get them to accept his way of doing things, and later wastes the last vial of the Tears of the Mother on Drakath, and when he finds out that it didn't effect him, he goes so far as to try to murder the hero due to being sick of what he believes to be his/her tricks and lies. 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.

 * Kali (Teen Wolf): Kills Erica and later makes Derek kill another one of his betas, Boyd.
 * Matt Daehler: Though murdering everyone who let him drown when he was a child seems to make him a tragic villain, he arguably crosses the line when he murders one of his victims himself via suffocating her, after the Kanima refused to do so, right after she had just given birth, leaving her child an orphan.

 * Trinity Killer: Crosses it when he kills Dexter's wife.
 * Daleks: Have committed countless war crimes and acts of pure evil and genocide across the universe over their species' history.
 * The Daleks arguably fully cross the MEH onscreen in "Evolution of the Daleks", when the rest of the Cult of Skaro betray Dalek Sec and resume the Daleks' evil and genocidal ways, rather than follow Sec in sacrificing their purity and emotionlessness for the sake of their future. 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.

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.

 * 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.

 * 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.

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.

 * "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.

Harry Potter literature

 * 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 Dursley, 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 Lord 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 Potter 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 Potter, but is fortunately stopped by Dobby.
 * 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.

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.
