Category:Villains by Proxy

Villains by Proxy are villains who are have absolutely no wish to be evil but are pushed into it either circumstance or as a result of the story's unique angle. Most Mercenaries, such as Lobo, are Villains by Proxy caring less about doing evil than just getting payed, some heroes like Captain Marvel of DC comics or Sophitia or Ivy from Soul Calibur are blackmailed or tricked into becoming regular threats on the forces of good against their better judgment, other villains like Mercy Graves are following the lead of someone else and have no evil ambitions of their own and some villains like Carmen Sandiego are only precisely as evil as they need to be to obtain their goals. Just about all Villans by Proxy are only antagonists because of their association to a much more malevolent figure.
