Some villains weren't born, but created by those wanting someone or something else to do the dirty work for them. These creations may not have been made evil, but then something must have gone wrong for them to turn into what they are now (e.g. the Banana Splits, Freddy Fazbear, Ultron and the Scarlet King).

These villains are usually don't have moral agency due to being created to be evil, though this isn't always the case. On some occasions, these villains can be Pure Evil if they cross a line the creator themselves wouldn't cross, or turn on their creator in favor of causing as much suffering as possible (e.g. Max Zorin, most versions of Ultron, NOS-4-A2, Black Noir, and Abomination).
