	*'''Skynet''': Skynet originated with the Terminator franchise, where a true AI is created, and it immediately goes to war with humanity to ensure its own survival, with the end goal of wiping humanity from the face of the Earth. Being an adaptive, digital organism, it infiltrates networked technology and weaponized it. Its most famous inventions are Terminators - humanoid robots designed to pass as human that act as soldiers, assassins and spies for Skynet. They pass as human through increasingly sophisticated means (originally rubber skin, then liquid metal or replicated organic tissue that gives them everything from sweat to bad breath... but are somehow still detectable by dogs). Unlike most AI, while Skynet created machines that can think for themselves, Skynet limits their ability and enslaves them for fear that they might turn against Skynet the way Skynet turned against humanity. (Trivia: In the Terminator EU, Skynet stopped creating T-1000 Terminators shortly after invention because of their superior analytical skill and being unable to limit their thinking abilities like other Terminators; didn't want them to do too much thinking). Seeking to wipe out humanity and enslave its fellow thinking machines/children gives Skynet a prime place among AI villains. Despite Skynet itself being somewhat original at the time, the concept of AI run amok dates back much earlier, prominently with 2001: A Space Odyssey and very early Star Trek. Even worse, since Skynet's debut, villainous AIs have become so cliche that "skynet" is now an adjective instead of a proper noun (ie, going skynet), reflecting the fact that unlike everyone else in this list, Skynet is a very real possible outcome of experimenting with adaptive, neural-like systems in a networked world.		*'''Skynet''': Skynet originated with the Terminator franchise, where a true AI is created, and it immediately goes to war with humanity to ensure its own survival, with the end goal of wiping humanity from the face of the Earth.

For example Harry Potter, despite being a teen and knowing as much magic as a mouse for most of the series, time and time again foiled Voldemort's plans. Despite having control of one of the key factions in 40k, [[Abaddon]] failed to get anything done until about 10,000 years (the fact that Abbadon hasn't been killed or overthrown yet is because Games Workshop won't let the story go in that direction).

	In most video games the BBEG is usually the final villain which you and maybe a couple of hanger-ons have to defeat to win the game. Whether it will be a hard fight or not depends how merciless the game designers are feeling.

	*'''Thanos''' ([[Marvel Comics\| Marvel Cinematic Universe]]): Thanos is one of the major villains in Marvel Comics, famous for the iconic storyline ''The Infinity Gauntlet''. The Marvel Cinematic Universe had its own villains for individual movies, but setting up for its homage to the classic storyline had Thanos as the big overarching villain of the film franchise. He saw his planet suffer from an overpopulation crisis and suggested killing half the population at random in order to allow more resources to go around. He was rejected and his people went extinct. This caused Thanos to believe the entire universe was in a population crisis and set out to gather six objects called the Infinity Stones to kill half of all life, and along the way he attacked numerous other worlds where he killed half their population. Seeing that relying on others to get the stones for him wasn't working he finally decided to gather the stones himself, and despite the best efforts of the Avengers, he gathered all the stones and killed half the universe before making his escape, at the cost of losing the few beings he cared about. The Avengers tracked Thanos down to his hiding place only to find Thanos used the Infinity Stones to destroy the stones to ensure his work couldn't be undone, and was killed by Thor in response. When the Avengers went through time to collect the Infinity Stones to bring back everyone Thanos killed, Thanos' younger self was alerted to their plans and followed them to the present. The fact that the Avengers killed his future self wasn't important, what mattered was they sought to undo his life's work. Seeing that the people of the universe wouldn't accept him killing half of them to preserve life, Thanos sought to use the Infinity Stones to destroy the universe and recreate it so it would be grateful, showing he was nothing more than a madman seeking validation (which was already clear since he could've used the Infinity Stones in other ways, such as doubling resources, but didn't).		*'''Thanos''' ([[Marvel Comics\| Marvel Cinematic Universe]]): Thanos is one of the major villains in Marvel Comics, famous for the iconic storyline ''The Infinity Gauntlet''.

	A similar phenomenon has been observed in real-life in cases where women got shorter jail sentences or lower fines than men for the same crimes. While not universal, it is common enough to be colloquially referred to as the "Pussy pass". Putting aside questions of [[SJW\|identity politics]], in fiction, at least, it could also just be cultural: there are no shortages of evil queens and faeries in German fantasy, from the poisoner of ''Sleeping Beauty'' to Xayide in ''Never Ending Story''.
