The other stock Egyptian-style villain, and a common boss in Shifting Sand Land, alongside the Mummy (which this guy is likely to become in death). The appearance of this character is pretty recognizable. Chances are, you will see a striped head dress (called a nemes), some sort of ancient-looking robe or kilt (called a shendyt), and a sceptre. And if the work in question isn't set in Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh may be found sealed inside some kind of tomb or pyramid and will vow to curse any explorer who comes near, making the overlap with the Mummy even clearer. See also Aristocrats Are Evil. Because Egypt is in North Africa, this trope can easily have Unfortunate Implications that, depending on the villain's skin tone, can overlap either with the Scary Black Man trope or with Orientalist stereotypes of cruel, decadent olive-skinned despots. Proceed with caution. The Trope Maker, Trope Codifier, and Ur-Example is probably found in the Book of Exodus in The Bible, with that nasty pharaoh as one of the villains of the Old Testament, making this Older Than Feudalism. In fact, before World War II made Those Wacky Nazis the most popular shorthand for evil, comparisons to the pharaohs, along with other Biblical Bad Guys like Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot, were among the strongest insults thrown at politicians, in a predecessor to Godwin's Law (with comparisons to Attila the Hun also popular). |

King Tut, one of the supervillains from the 1960s Batman (1966), wore clothing appropriate for a pharaoh and liked to use Egyptian-themed dialogue. He was actually Professor William McElroy, an Egyptologist at Yale University. Every time he was hit on the head he developed a split personality that thought he was a reincarnation of the original King Tut (i.e. Tutankhamun). Hitting him on the head again restored his original personality. | |

There is the Nova villain, the Sphinx, who physically resembles the Living Monolith, and has some of the same motivations: restoring Egypt to its former glory. New Warriors had a second Sphinx, a woman with an obsessive crush on the original who began reincarnating with her memories intact. Eventually getting her hands on the original Sphinx's power source, she used it to rewrite reality so she was ruler of the world. |

Pharaoh Rebirth is titled after its villain, pharaoh Sehur I, who curses the game's protagonist to die in a week. He was also the Big Bad of the freeware game Return of Egypt, made by the same developer under another moniker more than a decade earlier; in fact Pharaoh Rebirth is a Stealth Sequel of the latter. | |

He used to be worshipped in Ancient Egypt. "The Haunter of the Dark": The pharaoh Nephen-Ka built a temple with a lightless crypt to the Shining Trapezohedron so that he always could commune with Nyarlathotep and access the being's immense knowledge. "Imprisoned With the Pharaohs": The Ancient Egyptian pharaohs Khephren and Nitocris have survived to present day by living underneath the Sphinx and the pyramids in perpetual service of Nyarlathotep. They reign over a group of half-man, half-animal mummies. |

"The Vengeance of Nitocris" by Tennessee Williams: After the pharaoh is killed by the high priests, his sister Nitocris becomes pharaoh. She decides to get revenge for her brother's death by killing the high priests in an elaborate death trap that consists of a great underground chamber that can be sealed shut and has behind one of the walls a sluice gate that opens onto the Nile; raising the sluice gate floods the chamber, drowning everyone inside. | |

The sarcophagus of the Pharaoh is perfectly symmetrical, making it impossible for the symmetry-obsessed Kid to destroy it. Then the Pharaoh steps out of the sarcophagus to give the final strike, and he is revealed to be horribly asymmetrical. Cue Kid's Berserk Button hitting the floor. | |

In Pathfinder's Golarion setting, the Ancient Egypt-esque country of Osirion has suffered through several of these. A few notables include several Pharaohs who studied and worshiped various Eldritch Abominations, two who became liches and ruled for centuries as undead monstrosities, one whose decadent lifestyle caused his ancestors to rise as Mummies and tear him apart, two who joined the cult of Rovagug the Great Destroyer, the Pharaoh of Forgotten Plagues who built a place called the House of Oblivion as a material plane anchor for Ahriman and his Div minions, and the four Pharaohs of Ascension whose golden age was sustained by a horrifically abused slave underclass. The Mummy's Mask adventure path is about one of them rising from the grave (as a mummy, of course), and having to be stopped from taking over Osirion again. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons: Ankhtepot's drive to become immortal and a great ruler drove him to inflict such cruelties on his people that he was killed, cursed with undeath as a Mummy, and trapped in the Ironic Hell of Ravenloft. There, he is "Pharaoh" of only a tiny nation-state. The classic 1e module I3 Pharaoh includes Amun-Re of the House of Mo-Pelar, who cursed his kingdom upon his death, and whose regretful, wandering spirit implores the player characters to loot his theft-proof tomb in order to lift the curse. |

Soon I Will Be Invincible: A straight example and a subversion First we have a supervillain named The Pharaoh, who dresses the part complete with fancy headdress, gold body glitter and make-up. He wields a powerful hammer (either magical or advanced alien tech) that, when he says a word, makes him powerful enough to face off against the resident Justice League expies by himself. He also claims it's his mission to restore the glories of Ancient Egypt and that he is the reincarnation of Ramses. The problem is he doesn't know WHICH Ramses he's supposed to be, can't read hieroglyphics,and barely knows anymore about Ancient Egypt than your average person. Dr. Impossible suspects he's either delusional or outright lying. A second character also calls himself The Pharaoh, but this one is a time traveling superhero who makes it his business to protect history from those who would plunder it. He never really appears in the book, but it can be assumed he's not nearly so hostile as the other one. |

The first act of the Mr. Bogus episode "Museum Madness" had Bogus come upon a young child-like pharaoh who behaved this way, after he and Ratty accidentally wind up in a secret chamber hidden within the Egyptian exhibit of the museum. Although to be completely fair, the kid pharaoh actually possessed an ancient scarab that had been stolen for many centuries, but Bogus was able to reclaim the scarab and return it back to its rightful place after making quick work of the child. | |

Assassin's Creed Origins: The DLC "Curse of the Pharaohs" deals with ghosts of pharaohs rampaging around Thebes, murdering everyone in sight before disappearing, because of someone misusing an Apple of Eden. Maybe. The game hints the ghosts are those who previously held the Apple before the current owner stole it for their own purposes, but then Bayek takes a trip into the afterlife and meets them. | |

Bender from Futurama episode "A Pharaoh To Remember" forges an inscription on an Egypt-like planet making him the pharaoh. He immediately goes about devising ways to terrorize his slaves and designing his own monument so that he will always be remembered. | |

The Bible: The two Pharaohs from Book of Exodus are notorious for enslaving and torturing Israelites, from ordering his subordinates to commit infanticide, to denying the existence of God despite acknowledging him. The Pharaoh is even worse in Islam. Besides what he does in the Exodus, he had his magicians cut their hands and feet on opposite sides and crucify them on the trunks of palm trees because they acknowledged Allah. He also had his own wife tortured to death for embracing Moses' faith as well. One pharaoh in the Book of Genesis is furious at Abraham (then known as Abram) for lying about the relationship between him and Sarah (then known as Sarai) as the patriarch had presented her as his sister when she was in fact his wife, fearing that if the truth was known he'd be murdered and an Egyptian would marry his widow. Apparently hosting them and showering them with gifts under this misconception was enough for YHWH to send a plague to Egypt, so he orders his men to deport the couple. |

Magic: The Gathering: The world of Amonkhet is entirely based on Ancient Egypt, so it's no surprise it would be ruled by a Pharaoh. Unfortunately, the "God-Pharaoh" whose return Amonkhet's inhabitants so eagerly await is Nicol Bolas. | |

Pharaoh Rehk'Set from Egypt on Anur Khufos, who uses drones and video monitors to spy on the population and kidnaps humans to use as slaves. Played with as he controls an Egypt-themed alien planet, rather than Egypt itself, and subverted by the time the story takes place, where almost everyone is ignoring his reign. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, the Necrons have always had some Egyptian-ish design elements, but as of their 5th edition codex they have embraced this trope. The Necron leaders in the new codex are called "Phaerons" and their armour and headgear has some very obvious Egyptian influences. A lot of the Necron lords also have Egyptian-esque names, such as Imhotek (strangely enough, the ones that don't seem to have Polish names. Go figure). | |

The Tomb Kings of Khemri in Warhammer are this, as the priests who were supposed to grant them entry to a glorious afterlife as immortal god-kings instead brought them back as undead mummies. In an interesting variation, each of them still thinks himself the rightful ruler of Khemri, as he was in life... which doesn't go well with the many predecessors and successors who also believe themselves the rightful rulers of Khemri. | |

The Prince of Egypt, being the story of Moses and the Exodus, has two: Seti I, who orchestrated the enslavement and the original mass infanticide against the Hebrew slaves; and his son, Rameses II, who, while portrayed more sympathetically than his Biblical counterpart, is determined to keep his adoptive brother's people in bondage, no matter the consequences to his kingdom. | |

High School D×D: A first-season OVA sets the Occult Research Club against a pharaoh who had been sealed away in his coffin after insulting a devil he had summoned. When Rias accidentally opens the coffin, the Pharaoh promptly possesses Issei and blackmails the Club into performing three (degrading) tasks that end up breaking the curse on him and reviving him properly... right into a room of the very annoyed, very powerful devils he tried to take advantage of, whereupon his brand-spankin'-new physical form is promptly vaporized by Rias. Not as 'nefarious' as far as some of the other entries on the page, but most certainly a perverted douchebag. | |
