Presumed Deceased

Villains who have faced an unknown fate. Most are thought to be dead, but fully unconfirmed or, in cases where they are confirmed to be dead on their home wikis, have died in conditions where it is implied they could still be alive. These villains are never seen or heard again after the endings or events of a movie/TV show or a book.

Villains in this category were last seen in situations that they were not expected to survive, but given that they weren't seen dying, or their bodies or remains weren't found, they could possibly or might still be alive and are plotting to return someday in the future. Yet, their fates, whereabouts and statuses are currently unknown. They can also have unresolved storylines after the endings or events of a book, story, game or a TV show. Sometimes they are also Presumed Incarcerated/Arrested, due to their crimes committed in the books, stories, games or TV shows. Also, most of their Presumed Last Words are unsolved, meaning that they're mysterious or uncertain. Most of them are not arrested, making their fates unresolved. They can also have an offscreen fate in general. Plus, some of them have unsolved cliffhangers, making their statuses unclear. Most of them have missing or vanished without a trace. These characters have enigmatic endings. The majority of them likely passed away before the events of a book, movie or a TV show,

Notes[]

• These villains do not count as Karma Houdinis unless the presumed death was of natural causes (e.g. Toplofty and O'Bloat, Donald Love, Mr. Grasping, Warren T. Rat, Filbrick Pines, King Barlowe, and Nefretiri) or if they’re more likely to have survived and escaped rather than died (e.g. Rasmin Yelkov and Flumpty Bumpty.)
• However, they can count as Scapegoats if they have only committed minor villainous acts.
• Also, do not add villains who are confirmed dead under this category, as those types of villains are confirmed to be dead, while villains in this category are only presumed to be.
  • However, while a few villains on here are confirmed to be officially deceased in their home wiki, for the sake of this wiki, they can still be listed here due to having no visible proof such as a corpse to back up their death, leaving the viewer with speculation on whether or not they're still alive or dead (e.g. Kang the Conqueror (MCU), Filbrick Pines, Dave (Total Drama), Tatanga).
  • They can also be inconclusive, meaning that their fates are left truly unknown because the authors don't make stories anymore or their show/movie/ game got cancelled or ended too early/soon (e.g. Mr. Crocket, Amir Kaffarov, Furio Giunta, Protoboy, Freddy Krueger (original), Shere Khan (Disney) and William Afton.)
  • This list includes characters who are dead, but can come back to life (e.g, Winnie the Pooh, Dracula (Renfield), Piglet, Harlan, and Oogie Boogie.)
