The very first "Akumatized" was wassername, the weather girl.

When the blackened Akuma-fly appeared in the elevator with her, she is terrified, even opening her umbrella in an attempt to shield herself. And IIRC, she said "Get away from me!".

What happens with each Akumatized is we see their daily life build to a point where they express or internalize negative emotions. Which somehow Hawk Moth is aware of. He then takes a white butterfly-like thing (unclear if it is a "good akuma" or actual insect), cups it in his hands and focuses power into it, which turns it black, and sends it on its way.

Many of the Akumatized are not even aware of the thing merging into them.

Certainly the fact they ALL do not remember their actions while Akumatized shows they fit the trope of possessed and or brainwashed. Which according to 6.4 of the Rules means they are considered as victims.

Hey, if a black butterfly appears before you, would *you* think it was there to grant you power to enact revenge upon the source of your most recent anger? Unlikely.

So. Sorry, but the Akumatized are victims—tools of Hawk Moth—and not actual villains.

However, feel free to add details to the list on Hawk Moth's page. They *do* deserve more than just a listing of their names. You can Even make a subpage for the purpose.
