“ | Count Bleck does not care about any world! They are all meaningless. Better that I destroy them! Better yet, I shall make it as if they never existed at all! | „ |
~ Count Bleck's response to being asked why he would want to destroy the multiverse. |
“ | Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different? | „ |
~ Davy Jones when a pirate calls him a cold-blooded killer. |
“ | Why did you make me do this?! You’re fighting, so you can watch everyone around you die! THINK, MARK! You’ll outlast every fragile, insignificant being on this planet! You’ll live to see this world crumble to dust and BLOW AWAY! EVERYONE, and EVERYTHING you know, WILL BE GONE! WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER FIVE HUNDRED YEARS?! | „ |
~ Omni Man’s most famous speech. |
Inconsistently Heinous villains who believe that the existence of life has no meaning or value, along with others' and their own lives.
Due to their status as Inconsistently Heinous, many of these villains' nihilistic points of views are portrayed very sympathetically as many became this way due to legitimate tragedies.
Examples are some versions of the Joker, Count Bleck, Davy Jones, Rick Sanchez, Romeo, Shredder, Shiroko Terror, Darth Vader, Tomura Shigaraki, Vaas Montenegro, Dabi, Tails Nine, the TV show version of Omni-Man, Monika, Ellie Williams, Number 6 and Tyrion Lannister.
NOTE: Villains who make nihilistic rants yet at the same time "overvalue" their own lives (e.g. Daki, Aiden, and Tohru Adachi) DO NOT COUNT. They are referred to as absurdists and should be placed under the Cowards, Hypocrites, Egotists and Misanthropes categories instead. In addition, villains who are only gleeful as they die while being defiant until the end also DO NOT QUALIFY as they still care too much about their lives.
Their opposites and heroic counterparts can be seen here.
