| ~ Haas to his brother |
Adolf Haas' Brother (Thomas Haas in Polish dub) is a posthumous antagonist in the 2006 manga series by Naoki Urasawa, Pluto. He is a sadistic bigot that targets robot children out of kicks due to how their lack of ability to defend themselves due to it being hardwired into their programming to never kill a human. However, upon targeting the son of Gesicht, he ends up getting what's coming for him as he gets brutally murdered by his hand, an incident Europol covers up.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Unlike his brother, who we get psychological insight to how his robot hatred was warped through the terrible childhood he had to receive due to the increase in robot life pushed their father out of a job and leading to him drunkedly falling off a building after his mother left him, this past is shown to have nothing to actually do with Haas' actions, and that the main reason for his crimes is due to robots being forbidden to kill humans, it is very easy to go kill them instead.
- Kills a robot while getting off at how easy it was due to his defenseless state to get a tablet for his brother.
- Out of sheer kicks using his position as a security bot repairman, he abducts numerous robot children, who he tortures and mutilates with their brain chips pulled out to the point where the children are either dead or horribly damaged beyond repair. About 23 children suffered under his hands.
- When it was announced Gesicht is investigating the case on his crimes, he spitefully tortures his son to death instead, leaving an utterly furious Gesicht to blast him to death on the spot upon discovering this. Furthermore, he begs for undeserved mercy from Gesicht, contrasting the purely evil Dr. Roosevelt who died in honor and dignity.
- Overall, despite the existence of other nasty cookies like Dr. Roosevelt and Dr. Abra, he easily stands out on the side of personal cruelty, in which nobody has committed crimes as repulsive as him, that the leader of an anti-robot equivalent of the Klu Klux Klan whose motto is "Death to all robots", has immense disgust for his actions.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- Genuinely cares for his brother, having killed a robot just to get a tablet to support his brother's education and ensure he is set up well in life with Adolf noting how he was always available to provide support during hard times.
