Considering the recent EP for Drake was plagiarized from TT, I'll make a proper one.

CHARACTERS' TRAITS
Carlton Drake is a young but brilliant scientist and the millionare CEO of the 'Life Foundation', a scientific company with good publicity. However, Drake has a secret agenda of wanting to bring the symbiotes to Earth, an alien race which can bond with humans and use them as hosts to possibly kill people.

MORAL EVENT HORIZON
The question is rather when he hits the MEH, it's not a question if. His crimes consists of him experimenting, torturing and often killing dozens and dozens of homeless people, forcefully trying to bond them with symbiotes he recently captured. Considering Venom himself, one of the symbiotes he captures, racks up a pretty big body count (in the dozens atleast), Drake can be considered responsible for its actions as he was the one letting it go into the rest of the world and shows no remorse when he learns how many people have died from the symbiote attacking humans. He kills an employee Dora Skirth when she may talk with the authorities about his actions and his arguably biggest action is when he cooperates with Riot to bring symbiotes from their planet onto Earth and let them cause a human genocide, meaning that he nearly committed genocide *on his own race*, all because of "science".

HEINOUS STANDARDS
Interestingly enough, both Riot and Drake manage to stand out just as much. Riot has multiple hosts killed as well as massacring a bunch of scientists and some thugs, while Drake has a bunch of innocent homeless people experimented on, brutally tortured and often kills his own employees for minor reasons, often threatening to murder their family.

MORAL AGENCY
He's a human so no problems there and he's not too insane to count either.

NO REDEEMING QUALITIES
Hell no. He couldn't care less about Riot (and that feeling seems very mutual) and they just so happen to have very similar goals. His interactions with children, where he's often surprisingly nice, basically mean nothing as he's doing it purely for publicity and when he asks the little girl who is in his office what she's doing there, it's evident that he's just confused or even irritated by her.

NO SYMPATHY
Nope. Him wanting to create a master race with symbiotes and humans combined to evolve the human race boils down to social darwinism and pretty much nothing else, meaning that he isn't even well-intentioned.

SCREEN TIME
Everything he does is onscreen.

WORST
As mentioned earlier, he and Riot are just as evil and no one outshines the other.

CONCLUSION
I'll go with a yeah.
