"Every day, humans come one step closer to self-destruction! I'm not destroying the world, I'm saving it!"

- Albert Wesker

"You give corruption far too much credit, evil does not inform good. It sullies it, like the Babari sullied their world with violence, and that arrogant Goku sullied this sacred ground by swinging his fists at a God. Mortals receive the divine gift of intellect, the potential for wisdom, but they misuse it to destroy the beauty of creation. Mortals do not succumb to evil, they are the evil. They create it, and spread it with minds they shouldn't possess. How can we call ourselves gods if we watch this plight and do nothing to stop it?"

- Zamasu's twisted view of good and evil.

Delusional-type villains are characterized by or holding idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom or mental disorder; in other words, they commonly make false assumptions. These can be if they believe themselves or someone else as a different species, a god, a real being, a good person, a genius, a handsome or beautiful person both visibly and within. Even those who know they are evil can be deluded.

The types of deluded villains who actually believe themselves to be good people think that what they do is right; this makes them similar to Vigilantes and Anti-villains, but unlike them, a delusional villain's cause is oftenly nothing close to noble.

No matter how horrible an act a delusional villain does, they will always see it as a noble act; thus, even though they see themselves as good, many delusional villains can be Pure Evil (e.g. Akainu, Makuta Teridax, Judge Claude Frollo and Koba).

These types of delusional villains also believe that whoever disagrees with or opposes them is a bad person. Therefore, they are very paranoid and pay little to no attention to the others' opinion. These villains may be greedy or hypocritical, but cannot even see it. Worse, some of them tend to blame someone else for the destruction they cause (especially those who oppose them) while, in reality, it was their fault.

The scope of these villains' delusion can range from being a relatively minor trait (usually just simply believing they are doing good and not fanatical about it) to dangerously extreme to the point of mental illness (such as villains who are extremely outspoken that what they are doing is right and there is absolutely no chance to convince them otherwise).

Delusional villains can also be nihilistic villains who do not believe in good nor evil, thereby justifying their own heinous actions with their twisted logic. The best example of this would be Gaku Yashiro.
