This category is restricted to characters who have a history of abusing others, especially relatives or close loved ones, such as spouses/partners, their own children or even henchmen, etc.

Domestic and child abuse are widely seen as one of the more heinous crimes, alongside things such as rape and murder, so characters in this category are often hard to redeem; even sadomasochists (villains that hurt themselves) or those who bully another can qualify in this category.

Not to be confused with Psychological Abusers. The Abusers category only applies if the abuse is physical, although they can and often both apply (e.g. Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear).
