Ever since that guy in The Bible killed his brother, characters named Cain, Caine, Kane, Kayne, or variants, have had a bad reputation. They tend to be villains. Since Evil is Cool, though, it was only a matter of time before the name became acceptable fodder for the odd antihero, as well. Either way, they tend to be morally sketchy, and probably badass. For when the character is actually Cain himself, see Cain and Biblical Bad Guy. For when the character is descended from him, see The Descendants of Cain. A specific form of Names to Run Away from Really Fast, and, of course, a Meaningful Name. Also see Cain and Cain and Abel, for obvious reasons. Sister Trope to Villain Baal. Compare One-Mario Limit. |

Kane of WWE. His backstory is that the seven foot tall monster was burned as a child and raised by "manager" Paul Bearer. He is also brother to The Undertaker; although both are dark and evil characters, the biblical brother theme is still present. And then there's the whole "sadistic pyromaniac" aspect of his character, which makes him seem even more demonic. He has since suffered some character decay, according to some. | |

House of Mystery: Cain is the sinister trickster host; his brother Abel hosts its sister series, House of Secrets. While originally the names weren't strictly meant to say that they're the Cain and Abel, their appearances as supporting characters in The Sandman (1989) established that they're really a pair of Starfish Aliens from billions of years ago who were the first sentient lifeforms in the universe to intentionally kill another of its own kind and its victim. The first act of murder was so monumental that they became archetypes living on for all of history in the collective unconscious of all life, perceived by each new observer as one of their own and inspiring stories such as the Bible story of Cain and Abel. It's interesting to note that, while Eve is also a character in the comics, she does not consider herself to be related to them and denies it when Cain calls her "Mother". Cain responds that she is "everyone's mother", and leaves it at that. | |

Count Cain: While Cain is actually the protagonist, he was given the name because his father believes him to be cursed. He has a troubled past, is known as a ladies' man, collects poisons for a hobby, and has the unlucky tendency of having the people around him die often, and in gruesome ways. However on his death, Alexis reveals that he named his son "Cain" because even though the biblical Cain committed a terrible sin, God still forgave and protected him, and eventually allowed him to settle down. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Sergeant Kain Fuery. Subverted in that he's a rather shy and somewhat geeky communications officer. Word of God says that the author picked most of the first names for more minor characters at random from a dictionary of European names. It's actually a misromanization of Huey, after the iconic helicopter, as part of the military characters' Theme Naming, all of them being christened after military aircraft. Huey Kane does sound a bit more fitting for the character. | |

Though it's really a Disguise/Split personality, there's a Cain in The Binding of Isaac. He wears an eyepatch and his starting skills make him a 'rogue' kind of characters. Abel makes an appearance as an item/familiar. Repentance later added Tainted Cain, a variation that has the eyepatch eye clawed and is unable to pick up items, causing them to burst into pickups. He instead needs to use a special sack to collect said pickups and turn them into items. | |

Bakuten Shoot Beyblade : Kane is played straight in the manga and played with in the anime. In the manga, he's an evil genius who's willing to play dirty to defeat Takao, although Defeat Means Friendship kicks in after he fails to secure victory. In the anime, he's sociable and hits it off with Takao right away. Then he becomes Brainwashed and Crazy and is turned into a severely unhinged variant of his manga self. He gets better. | |

GaoGaiGar: A combined subversion and straight use of the trope. The Cain of this series is Leader of an alien civilization destroyed by the Zonder. Cain also developed the G-Stone technology and sent Galeon to Earth with his son, Latio (AKA Mamoru). In short, a strong candidate for the show's Big Good. However, in FINAL, A replicant of Cain, named Pei La Cain, acts as one of the villainous 11 Sol Masters. Notably, his only two contributions to FINAL's plot are a brief appearance that costs Guy dearly in his first duel with Palparepa, and serving as Mamoru's opponent in the final battle. | |

Despite his name, he's not actually a Gris-Gris Man or even a man at all, but rather a murderous avatar of vengeance created by the elderly and bitter voodoo practitioner Ruby Avedon. Spider-Man: Kaine from The Clone Saga. Being an unstable, overpowered psycho clone who simultaneously loves and hates Peter Parker (and Ben Reilly) is pretty fitting here. Anyone he killed had an ugly scar on his face called "The Mark of Kaine," and he could even put this mark on someone without killing him if he wanted to make a serious point. Basically, as a clone of Spidey, he uses the power that lets him stick to walls... on your face. Ow. Nowadays, as the new Scarlet Spider, he's calmed down considerably, but he's still quite the threat, especially being bonded to The Other. X-Force: Garrison Kane was originally a subversion, as despite his Rage Against the Mentor motivation he was still a hero, and frankly Cable kind of deserved it for leaving Kane to die. Later after his original creators left he played his name very straight, falling prey to Cybernetics Eat Your Soul and becoming the merciless enforcer for the mutant concentration camp Neverland. X-Men has Cain Marko, THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH! Even more appropriate given he's Xavier's older, stronger, bullying stepbrother, jealous of his brother's intelligence and family favor. If you're still not convinced, flip his names around. |

Not a character example, but the M-920 Cain is the most powerful weapon in Mass Effect 2. One shot will kill almost any enemy in the game, and the final boss can only take two hits. It has two drawbacks however: a long charge up time and a blast radius large enough to easily kill the player. | |

Trinity Blood: Cain Knightlord is the Big Bad of the story, being leader of the terrorist organization Rosencreutz Orden and the older brother for Abel Nightroad, Seth Nightlord and Lilith Sahl (the latter killed by Cain). Although the series is based in a Steampunk future version of the Dark Age, the many biblical references of the main characters, as well all of them being Crusnik (lab-created vampires that feed from other vampires), makes this Cain a big reference to the original one as well to Caine, the first vampire from Vampire: The Masquerade. | |

The DCU: Batman: Son of the Demon: Qinlan is a former member of the League of Assassins whose parents were killed during the Hiroshima bombing. Blaming Ra's al Ghul for his parents' deaths, Qinlan became obsessed with death and changed his name to Qayin, after a variation of the name Cain. Batgirl Vol. 2: Cassandra Cain, the second Batgirl, is the daughter of an assassin (David Cain) and the world's greatest martial artist (Sandra Woosan, a.k.a. Lady Shiva). Cain raised her to kill practically from birth, but she escaped and became a superhero. Her name is probably a Mythology Gag for the first Bat-Girl. Batwoman: Kathy Kane, the original Batwoman, and her niece Bette Kane, Bat-Girl. Unambiguously heroic, but usually treated as pests or second-raters by Batman, whose mother's maiden name also happened to be Kane. Probably named after Batman creator Bob Kane, who appears not to have been a real-life example of this trope. Maybe. The Post-Crisis Batwoman, Katherine "Kate" Kane, has been drawn into the inner workings of the Religion of Crime due to her presence at the heart of their prophecies regarding the "twice-named Daughter of Cain". As a "twice-named" (referring to her twin sister, who she thought was lost as a child) and the daughter of a "Kane," the religion has become somewhat preoccupied with her sacrifice. Final Crisis: Revelations establishes that much of the concept of Cain was actually based on the immortal supervillain Vandal Savage, who used Cain as one of his many aliases. House of Mystery: Cain is the sinister trickster host; his brother Abel hosts its sister series, House of Secrets. While originally the names weren't strictly meant to say that they're the Cain and Abel, their appearances as supporting characters in The Sandman (1989) established that they're really a pair of Starfish Aliens from billions of years ago who were the first sentient lifeforms in the universe to intentionally kill another of its own kind and its victim. The first act of murder was so monumental that they became archetypes living on for all of history in the collective unconscious of all life, perceived by each new observer as one of their own and inspiring stories such as the Bible story of Cain and Abel. It's interesting to note that, while Eve is also a character in the comics, she does not consider herself to be related to them and denies it when Cain calls her "Mother". Cain responds that she is "everyone's mother", and leaves it at that. Wonder Woman Vol. 3: Kane Milohai is a Hawaiian god and ally of Wonder Woman's. He helps her get back into Olympus, and is rewarded for his efforts by having his heart ripped out by Zeus. |

Tekkaman Blade: Teknoman, the US adaptation, renames Evil Twin Shinya Aiba into Cain Carter... possibly to make up for renaming his tekkaman form to Teknoman Saber instead of the extremely descriptive "Tekkaman Evil". The name Cain actually makes sense here, though: Based on the flashbacks, it seems that the twins' incredibly screwed up parents had been intentionally goading their sibling rivalry into full blown homicidal malice for pretty much their entire childhood, before anyone had ever heard of a tekkaman. | |

The protagonist of More Dead Than Alive is named Cain. Just Cain. A gunslinger released from prison after 18 years, Cain is trying to go straight but finding it hard as people cannot see him as anything more than a brutal killer. Not helped by people continually referring to him by his old nickname: "Killer" Cain. | |

Hatoful Boyfriend has a fantasy AU in which Yuuya's name is Cain Reprobus. The fantasy AU reflects the normal canon in many ways - Cain's a paladin, a healer-fighter and Knight in Shining Armor much beloved by his people, but his name hints about how Yuuya killed one brother to save another and regrets it, and tries to atone through general heroism. | |

Spider-Man: Kaine from The Clone Saga. Being an unstable, overpowered psycho clone who simultaneously loves and hates Peter Parker (and Ben Reilly) is pretty fitting here. Anyone he killed had an ugly scar on his face called "The Mark of Kaine," and he could even put this mark on someone without killing him if he wanted to make a serious point. Basically, as a clone of Spidey, he uses the power that lets him stick to walls... on your face. Ow. Nowadays, as the new Scarlet Spider, he's calmed down considerably, but he's still quite the threat, especially being bonded to The Other. | |

Fairy Tail has two such characters, both villains. The first is Kain Hikaru, a member of the dark guild Grimoire Heart that believes the Big Bad to be the Dark Messiah; his name is technically Japanese-based and rhymes with the English word "pine", but he has a connection to a later villain not-so-subtly named "Able". The second, Zash Caine, is The Heavy of the movie Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry. | |

Karl Edward Wagner's Kane Series, who is in fact a Conan-esque (that's the description for those who have never read the Kane books... he's actually not much like Conan at all) version of the Biblical Cain, with stories that take place in a dangerous and dark prehistory. Kane himself was cursed with immortality by an insane elder god after having strangled his brother, Abel. From the evidence given in the stories, it's pretty clear that the insane elder god is meant to be Jahweh, i.e., God. | |

Warhammer 40,000 plays this one straight with Khaela Mensha Khaine, the Eldar god of war. In Warhammer, he's the God of Murder. Also subverted with Commissar Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!), the hero of the eponymous book series. He's a self-professed coward who gets by with a lot of luck, however, he's still plenty badass and has taken on some of the worst the galaxy has thrown at him and come out on top on most occasions. Iskandar Khayon, chaos sorcerer of the Black Legion (pronounced "Sekhandur Caine"), also evokes this, as his attempted coup against Ahzek Ahriman gave the mage a dark reputation, even among fellow heretics. |

A character named Caim (a Gaelic spelling of Cain) is the main character of Drakengard. His moral compass can be described charitably as "Anti Heroic" — in fact, the only thing that keeps him from being a Villain Protagonist is that the target of his Roaring Rampage of Revenge happens to plan to Take Over the World (and for the record, Caim would still be butchering them all even if their goal happened to be 'build the world's happiest puppy orphanage'). By the second game he's turned into an antagonistic Rogue Protagonist, who seeks to free his pact partner from the Knights even if it means she'll destroy the world when freed. Though unlike other examples on this page, Caim is an unintentional example only due to the aforementioned fact Caim is a spelling of Cain in Gaelic: Most of the main cast of characters in Drakengard are named after a demon from the Ars Goetia, in his case, Duke Camio/Caym/Caim. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!; the Japanese name for Number 13: Embodiment of Crime is Cain's Devil; it is a Dark Fiend, and has a Number that is traditionally bad. The reference gains additional meaning in the issue of the manga where it debuts; it was summoned by Kaito Tenjo after he reduced Shark's Life Points to below half - in short, Kaito played the role of Cain in the duel by acting as the aggressor against Shark. | |

Cutter Cain, who kills Seers, typically with a knife, in City of Heroes: Going Rogue; Subverted in that his actual name is Doctor Steffard; he's actually a Resistance Warden trying to help them by removing cybernetic implants binding them to mindless slavery; but the science is so experimental it's not always successful, and at least one was killed by a remote kill-signal in the implants after he had released her. | |

Caine, one of princes of Amber. It's typical for Amber siblings to plot against one another, form strategic alliances and break them but Caine is the only one that actually gets to kill his brother, or more precisely, half-brother Brand. | |
