Villains who have been the victims of brainwashing and/or possession. Possessed/Brainwashed characters only count as villains if they spend more time under the influence in the story than they do with their normal personalities and thus are better recognizable in their possessed/brainwashed states, (Cynder, Koragg) or if they are villains to begin with and are simply brought down into further depravity by the influence of other evil–doers, (Diabolico, Dhoulmagus) and sometimes a villain being brainwashed by another villain will end up as a slave to said villain (Shouko Aihara) and sometimes if the villain ends up brainwashed the villain may end up redeemed (Carl Hauser, Darth Revan).

It's important to note that none of these characters are Complete Monsters. No matter how cruel, sadistic, or unnescessary their actions were, it's never completely their fault since they were being controlled by someone else. Even if, though in a very rare case, a Complete Monster had been possessed/brainwashed by someone else (e.g. Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin was brainwashed by Tretji Rebenok and become Man in Fire; Makuta Teridax was taken over by the Mask of Ultimate Power and thus became a mindless puppet), it should go under Pawns insetad of this category.

Note: Please do not create pages based on this category, as longtime heroes who are only briefly controlled by villains do not count.
