User blog:StevenTheKing/PE Proposal: Mal (Total Drama)

Good evening! I bring to you a villain that I would like to propose as Pure Evil - Mal from Total Drama.

Who is he?/What has he done?
Mal is the main antagonist of Total Drama: All-Stars, and not only that, he is the evil split personality of one of the contestants, Mike. After Scott knocks out Mike with a shovel, Mal awakens from the center of Mike's mind and proceeds to wreak havoc on the other contestants in various ways. For starters, he breaks Sam's game console and breaks Sierra's phone, and he almost kills Courtney by sabotaging the spinner that she is on. He almost kills Zoey and Cameron, and he chuckles about all of this. Later on, he sabotages Duncan's knife and, when Mike tries to awaken his other personalities by hitting himself with a shovel, he ends up being trapped in his own mind and Mal takes over for the rest of the season, and even impersonates Mike. He attacks Chef on Boney Island after the man was just trampled by animals. All the while, he manipulates Zoey into thinking that he's the real Mike, and when Alejandro tries to blackmail him, Mal crushes the guy's wrists. A few episodes later, Mal sabotages Courtney's relationship with Scott by manipulating Cameron into kissing her after falling, causing Scott to dump her. After Cameron fell down a big hole, Mal just let fall even further down the hole. After Cameron's elimination, Mal revealed his true colors to him since it was too late for him to do anything about it. In the season finale, Mal finally tells Zoey that Mike is never coming back and proceeds to sabotage the other contestants, but Mike finally has enough and finally manages to get rid of Mal for good.

Freudian excuse/Mitigating factors
Absolutely none. Sure, Mike already has Multiple Personality Disorder, but Mal does what he does for his own pleasure.

Heinous standard
He's easily the most evil villain in the Total Drama franchise. The fact that he almost killed several contestants and showed zero remorse for it confirms it.

Moral agency
He's fully aware of his actions and does not care if others die as long as he retains control of Mike and wins the game.

Final verdict
I say he's Pure Evil.
