Destroyers, also called Omnicidal Maniacs, are ultra violent villains who exist to destroy everything around themselves. They may be a type of Cataclysm, but not all Cataclysms are Destroyers and vice versa. Destroyers are single-minded and untiring; they will continually destroy until they are either destroyed themselves or imprisoned; they can not be reasoned with, bribed or made to retreat. In short, they are a living nightmare.

Destroyers are almost always Omnicidal Maniacs; to them, anything in their path must be utterly obliterated. This makes them different from some other omnicidal villains as they do not seek "un-death" or some strange nihilistic "peace"; they simply kill out of a never-ending rage.

Destroyers may be considered Nihilists as well since they are so full of rage that they often will not stop until either overpowered or killed. A Destroyer may be so full of battle-lust they resist damage that would normally wound or even kill a normal person, something which only makes them all the more dangerous.

To qualify as Destroyers, villains must exhibit the following traits:

• Untiring (Destroyers rarely ever rest; their rampage is without end, which is often one of the main reasons heroes band together to face them);
• Unstoppable (Destroyers often exhibit massive amounts of power and resistance; enemies can pummel them repeatedly and often the Destroyer will just keep on coming like a charging bull to a red flag);
• Unfeeling (Destroyers cannot be moved by pity; they know no fear and offers of alliances are futile at best; they are unbridled destruction, raw and utterly without mercy).

Destroyers are very often Anarchists, Terrorists or One-Man Armies.

This category does not instantly apply to any villain who causes mass-scale destruction. ms:Kategori:Pemusnah
