“ | Cybertron, you were saved... at last! | „ |
~ Megatron as watches Cybertron, his home planet that he so desperately wants to preserve, appear in Earth's orbit. |
“ | I've been thinking: We should share this prosperity with the rest of the world. In our hands is the most successful empire in history. It's time we expanded it. | „ |
~ Sozin proposing his plan to help the world by taking it over to Roku, showing his genuine belief that his plan is for the best. |
“ | Let me ask you a question. What if Pakistan marched into Mumbai tomorrow, and you knew that they were going to drag your daughters into a soccer stadium for execution, and you could just... stop it. With a flick of this switch. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you all? | „ |
~ Alexander Pierce trying to convince the Security Council that his goals are for the greater good. |
While Near Pure Evils are usually in it for themselves or just delusional, a few of them do genuinely believe they commit their actions for the greater good.
Keep in mind that the Near Pure Evil's extremism has to be minor for them to qualify or it may lead them to the Grey Zone and/or Anti-Villain territories, or in some cases full redemption. In all three cases, the villain in question would be too virtuous to qualify as Near Pure Evil; consequently, this category must be treated with caution.
Good examples are General M. Bison, Sozin, Alexander Pierce, Enrico Pucci, Jonathan Irons, Ra's al Ghul, President Koopa, Sargeras, Google Chrome Chan, Lumiya, Makima, M3GAN, Danzō Shimura, Bolivar Trask, Hotel Manager, Megatron, Colonel McCullough, Venom and Zovaal.
NOTE: Do NOT add those NPEs of the Not-So Well Intentioned extremist type who commit horrible acts out of their own twisted, debased, hypocritical, delusional, misguided and self-serving causes, they should go under Delusional, Terrorists, Vengeful, or Jingoists. They may lie, subvert, doubtfully claim or even erroneous sincerely believe that they have good intentions, but their goals are nowhere close to noble (e.g. Injustice Superman, Thanos, Baek Jun Ki, Erik Killmonger, Old Iron, Akainu, Cameron Henry, Light Yagami, Dr. Phillium Benedict, Ares, Nicholai Ginovaef, Bluey, John Wade, Antón Castillo, Oswell E. Spencer, Adam and Screenslaver).
