Pure Evil Proposal: Adam Sutler from V for Vendetta (film)
A while ago, Adam Sutler from V for Vendetta had a Pure Evil removal (which I will address in this proposal), but he was later re-proposed and approved. However, Sutler's re-proposal has been deleted due to plagiarism, so I have written a new re-proposal.
Thank you to Lucariobot for granting me permission to write this.

Videodrome is a 1983 sci-fi horror film directed by David Cronenberg, which can be watched here on YouTube. This film explores the disturbing consequences television (and more specifically, those who exploit it) has on its viewers’ perceptions of reality, and is heavily inspired by the works of media theorist Marshall McLuhan (who is represented by Brian O’Blivion in-universe). It is also an epitome of Cronenberg’s trademark body horror, and–to illustrate its point about the ability for media to blend reality and…

Mighty Max is an animated TV series that aired beginning in 1993, and is based off of the toyline of the same name.

This specific proposal deals with the 2nd season's 11th episode "Souls of Talon", which can be watched here.

Pure Evil Removal Proposal: Spike from Mighty Max
I watched the Mighty Max episode "Norman's Conquest" and have come to the conclusion that the one-shot villain in it does not quite qualify as Pure Evil. Hence, I'm proposing him to be cut in my first ever Pure Evil removal proposal.

Pure Evil Proposal: Kul Teska
I was speaking to a friend of mine and he brought up this rather nasty candidate. He wanted to propose him on TV Tropes but alas he was already brought up and approved over three years ago. However, I am surprised this candidate has not already been brought up here, and thus I am proposing him so that he can be approved.
