Fallen Heroes

Fallen Heroes or Fallen Heroines are Near Pure Evil villains who were once heroes, or the former heroes (ex-heroes), and fought on the side of good but turned to villainy.

These characters must also be under debased considering as a hero, they had redeeming qualities when they were heroes.

For obvious reasons, Fallen Heroes can NEVER fall under From Nobody to Nightmare because they were clearly exceptional individuals before they joined the dark side, unless they did good actions while being unknown.

Their Near Pure Good opposites are Redeemed Villains.

Notes[]

Please note that a character must be a hero before turning evil.

• Morally neutral characters (a la "average joes") or characters initially uninvolved with any side of the conflict do not count (e.g. Mother Miranda, PAL, Alex DeLarge, Turbo, and Ellen Mira Mathers). They should go under From Nobody to Nightmare and/or Debased instead.
• False heroes: if they never were good, they do not count either (e.g Sindel). They should go under Faux Affably Evil, Liars, Cheaters, Tricksters, Hypocrites, Hidden Near Pure Evils, Delusional, Traitors, Master Manipulators, Con Artists, Spies and/or Contradictory. However, some false heroes in the present story can still have been true heroes prior to the story.
• Normal public servants such as law enforcement, military, firefighters, security, healthcare professionals, etc. who became evil do not count (e.g., Byron Hadley, Esdeath, Warden Kuril, Robert Dixon, Agent Smith and Zhao) unless they were actually heroes. (eg. Brooke Augustine, Iraq, Megatron, Ronald Taylor, and Mark Hoffman)
• Normal officials such as Businesspeople, CEOs, managers, workers, doctors, scientists, school faculty, politicians, etc. who became evil do not count (e.g Dongsoo Seon, Baek Jun Ki, Thomas Wayne, and Amelia) unless they were actually heroes.
• Young and naïve children who became evil do not count (e.g. Eric). They should go under Juvenile Delinquents instead, unless they are reported to have done something truly heroic.
• Villains who simply lose most or all of their redeeming qualities do not count (e.g., PAL, and Ellen), they should go under Debased instead, unless they were actually heroes in the past (e.g. Clarance, and Imperious).
• Servants/pawns: villains who served on the hero's side but other than that have never done anything heroic do not count either. They should go under Servants of a Hero instead, unless they actually did genuine heroism.
• Nice people: villains who were simply nice people before they became villains (e.g. Dr. Eggman and Piella Bakewell) also do not count if they did nothing truly heroic before they became villains. They should go under From Nobody to Nightmare, Lacking Affably Evil (unless they have lost their genuine affability), and Debased instead.
• Brainwashed or Forced into it: if a villain was forced into it by circumstance or were brainwashed into becoming heroes do not count. They should go under Near Pure Evils with Cooling-off Periods‏ instead, unless they were genuine heroes before becoming evil.
• Famous people: villains who simply had a good reputation do not count. They should go under Charismatic‏ and/or Faux Affably Evil instead, unless their good reputation was earned from past heroic deeds.
• Protagonists: villains who are simply the main character in the story do not count either. They should go under Protagonists instead, the villain must be a real hero in order to qualify (e.g. Alex DeLarge) or formerly were actual heroes before falling into the Dark Side.
• Adaptational villains who are heroes in their original work, villains are who are simply altered adaptations of heroes do not count (e.g. Ultron). They should go under Adaptational Near Pure Evils, Alternate Reality Near Pure Evils, Type Depedent on Version, and/or Homages instead, unless it is established that they used to be heroes in the continuity of said adaptations (e.g. Noob Saibot).
