User blog:Sppople/PE Proposal: Erich Ludendorff

Erich Ludendorff is pure evil.

What's the work
Erich Ludendorff is the secondary antagonist of Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is a 2017 superhero film based on the comic book character of the same name. It is the fourth instalment in the DC Extended Universe.

Who is he
He is a WW1 German general and the superior of Doctor Poison, wishing to use her gas to win World War 1. His cruelty leads Diana Prince / Wonder Woman to assume he is Ares.

Heinous factor
He wished to win World War 1 by using Doctor Poison's deadly gas to destroy all the Allied forces. He also wished to deploy it all over the city of London, killing millions of innocent lives.

He cared nothing about ending the war or the German soldiers suffering in the war, shown by how he continued to want to destroy the Allies, despite his fellow generals planning to stop fighting the war due to shortages of food and medicine and the cost of thousands of German lives. He didn't want to do the right thing for his people, he just wanted to destroy his enemies in war. He is also treacherous, having his fellow Generals killed via gas when they disagreed with his decision, as well as mockingly throwing a gas mask in with them, despite it not being able to help them.

He believed that war made men better and his had a love for it and destruction, which resulted in Diana believing that Ludendorff is actually the incarnation of Ares, the God of War. When they fight, Ludendorff obviously didn't show any mercy and immediately tried to kill her.

Redeeming factors
None. He was "friendly" or at least allies with Doctor Poison, though this is due to him just needing her to provide him with the weaponry needed to win the war. He was given the ideas for weapons from Ares, but (as Ares himself said), he didn't make them use them and he did his deeds on his own accord.
