Vengeance. You don't get much of it in real life, and the little you do tends to be cold, late, and adds up otherwise as having been a really bad idea. So you look for it in fiction. Where you find out that, seven times in ten, revenge was a really bad idea for your surrogate, too. The other three times ... well, hey, somebody had to get some, sooner or later. That, and the girl. And a pony. With a jetpack. Revenge at its core is a viciously personal form of Paying Evil Unto Evil. Someone has done something seriously bad to another person or someone that person loves, and for some reason, there's no justice to be had for the crime, so the characters set out to exact their own kind of justice upon the person or people responsible. Although, some characters may not care for justice or "getting even", but want the satisfaction that comes only from Disproportionate Retribution. This can be compounded when the harm is slight, like not getting invited to a party. Avenging a death may be regarded as Due to the Dead — and the ghost may agree. An avenger has several options when pursuing their vendetta. They can devise a Machiavellian plan, maneuvering things (and occasionally people) in place until the time of final vengeance is at hand, which is the route taken by many classical revenge tales. Often the avenger takes steps to ruin the other guy's life in some manner before the final act, which may or may not end with the other guy's death. Another option, often chosen by action heroes or the more bloodthirsty avengers, is the Roaring Rampage of Revenge, where the avenger(s) dispense with this and goes straight for the bloodshed, hunting down everyone who had anything to do with the crime in question and eliminating them one by one, often in a Gotta Kill Them All fashion, until they reach the Big Bad behind it all and take their final vengeance. Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand, Forgiveness, and Defeat Means Friendship may stop this vendetta. Finding the person and discovering they've become The Atoner can snatch it away from you. On the other hand, if they try to buy you off, they may still be fair game. May also invoke The Only One Allowed to Defeat You; if your enemy is defeated by someone else, how can you avenge yourself? Sometimes, the people seeking revenge are doing so out of a subconscious sense of guilt and responsibility, or to cover up some other emotion like Survivor's Guilt (which often explains any Death Seeker behavior). Sometimes they've placed Revenge Before Reason. Bringing this out into the open can produce an interesting effect. The character often finds that completing the revenge will leave his life feeling flat and empty. Revenge wasn't satisfying, or now that it's over, he doesn't know what to do with himself. Sometimes, during the course of the pursuit of revenge, the avenger becomes just as bad as, if not worse than, the one who committed the initial awful deed to begin with. Sometimes, the character will end up being held accountable by others for taking revenge just as much as the one who wronged him, and will likely face punishment for it. And sometimes, revenge doesn't end with the person who committed the crime — other people connected to the original villain may well decide to pursue vengeance against the original avenger, which may very well lead to a Cycle of Revenge. Since revenge is one of the darker character motivations, villains, being a rather unforgiving lot, will often choose to take vengeance on those who have, in their eyes, wronged them, even if the "wrong" in question was something legitimately justified, such as stopping a villain's original evil plan and putting him behind bars or stopping an associate of his, which resulted in the associate's death. Villains in general are more likely to engage in Disproportionate Retribution than many heroes, and don't usually care about what happens to innocents that get swept up in the mess — some such villains deliberately target innocents who are connected to the person they want revenge on, just to make the person suffer all the more. Others target anyone who has anything to do with a certain organization responsible for what led them on this rampage, regardless of whether or not those people were actually involved in the crime in question, or take it out on the descendants of those who wronged them to start with. Others will broaden their vendetta to cover more and more people until the vendetta essentially covers all of humanity. This can be tempered, or even overridden, if the character keeps it up; killing the man who killed your father can be noble if he continues to slaughter people wherever he goes, and your revenge can be viewed as the icing on the cake. Villains can often be seen drawing on The Power of Hate in order to get their revenge as well. On the other hand, revenge can also appear lighter in shade where it is not only sweet but understandable. If the provocation was extreme, and still more if the character is reacting quickly to circumstance, without time to think — as in The Dog Bites Back — the effect can be mostly sympathetic. It can also be sympathetic if the character's being partly motivated by the knowledge that the villain will go on committing such crimes, and by taking care to ensure that only the guilty suffer, and suffer no more than they deserve.

Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye wanted revenge against the British government for the betrayal of the Lienz Cossacks, which included his family, who believed that they were under British protection near the end of WWII, only to be sent back to Stalin who promptly had them all shot. The fact that he was also doing so to make himself a pile of money off the destruction of London using a nuclear satellite that used an electromagnetic pulse weapon was just the icing on the cake. | |

Stripperella. Spoofed in "Beauty and the Obese", where Mad Doctor Cesarean's motive for making supermodels fat is because beautiful women have spurned him all his life. And because his mother was a model who ran off when he was five. And because his promising career as a model was ruined when he became horribly disfigured in a modeling accident. Oh, and his grandparents were killed by models. He hates heights too, but you can't harm heights. | |

In The Smurfs, Gargamel's original motivation for capturing the Smurfs was to find a way to turn base metals into gold, which is what he did with his single Smurf captive in "The Smurfnapper". However, when the Smurfs ganged up on Gargamel to rescue the lone Smurf, they also left a little surprise behind when the evil wizard tries to use a formula that would turn him into a giant, only to find out that the Smurfs have switched bottles and had him drink the formula that shrank him down to Smurf-size. Hence, his motivation has now been revenge ever since. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: This is the major motivation of Vetrix. Once Byron Arclight, he was betrayed by his friend Dr. Faker, who cast him (and Yuma’s dad Kazuma) into the void between dimensions. Byron eventually managed to make it back to Earth, but not before years of interdimensional travel regressed his physical form to that of a child. Taking on the new identity of Vetrix, he set out for revenge against Dr. Faker. To that end, he had his son Quattro hospitalize Shark’s sister Rio and ruin Shark’s dueling career, thus causing Shark to desire revenge against him. Shark exacts his revenge in the World Duel Carnival, though not before Quattro tells Shark how Vetrix ordered him to do what he had done. So, now Shark wanted revenge on Vetrix, but Vetrix took advantage of that to turn Shark into his puppet. As for Vetrix himself, Yuma finally convinces him to let go of his revenge after their duel. | |

Although it's been obscured by time and the numerous other tropes it's spawned, the revelation that Darth Vader was Luke's father in The Empire Strikes Back had originally played as a subversion of Revenge. Critics of Star Wars: A New Hope were so convinced that the sequels would conform to a simple Luke-avenges-his-dad story, they dissed Lucas for being trite, never suspecting how The Reveal would overturn those expectations. | |

Practically a running theme in A Brighter Dark: To start off, Hoshido wants revenge against Nohr for killing their king. Quite a few tribes also want revenge on Nohr for Garon's numerous morally dubious actions. Corrin wants revenge on Hans for killing Lilith. Mozu also wants revenge on Hans for his part in killing Hana, Subaki, and her Doomed Hometown, as well as revenge on Nohr in general. Saizo wants revenge on Corrin for killing Kaze. Flora wants revenge on Corrin, Garon, and Nohr for holding her and her sister as political hostages. The Hoshidan soldier wanted revenge on Nohr for his son's death (which probably reflects the opinions of quite a few soldiers, on both sides). Nohrians refugees trapped in Hoshido want revenge against the Hoshidans for discrimination against them. Which leads to bloodshed, which leads to Hoshidans wanting revenge against Nohrian refugees and going on a lynch mob riot. Hans attempts to murder a wounded soldier in revenge for cutting off his arm. Fortunately, Sakura talks him down. Beruka vows to hunt down Selena's murderer after she finds her dead body. |

Angel: 250-ish years before series 3, Angelus and Darla had not only killed Holtz's wife and three children but turned his youngest daughter into a vampire just to leave him a message, forcing him to kill her himself. Holtz initially went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, taking out 378 vampires in 9 years as he relentlessly hunted the pair across the whole of Europe. At times, he'd actually catch Angelus but never Darla and engage in torture just to see what would be left if he beat the demon out of the man. Angelus always escaped and the hunt would continue. Eventually, a demon told Holtz that if he didn't agree to travel 200+ years into the future he'd lose his chance to destroy Angelus and Darla forever. Holtz agreed in return for the promise that he'd show no mercy. When Holtz realised Angel now had a soul and Darla had killed herself to save her son, his plans changed to do to Angel what Angelus had done to him - take away the family he loved. He stole Connor, raised him in a Hell dimension before sending him back to Angel full of hate and groomed to kill his own father, having set up his own death to make it look like Angel had killed him just to make sure Connor would kill Angel in a You Killed My Adopted Father fury. Holtz was supposed to be a good guy. Holtz was never a "good" guy (at least not as we saw him on screen, maybe before his family was killed). He's an Anti-Villain with heroic traits like courage and determination, who has descended past the point where he cared whether his goal was still noble, becoming consumed by revenge. He considers himself a monster (made by monsters) and lives only for revenge and hate. After raising Connor, he tells Angel that he has let that hatred go and learned to live on paternal love instead. But even this is a lie, he sacrifices his life and his adopted son's happiness (and mental stability) for a final chance at revenge on what's left of the demon that took his family (namely, Angel). |

The Talmud: A man invited his friend Kamtza to a feast, but his servant accidentally invited Bar Kamtza, a mortal enemy. Bar Kamtza thought that the other man wanted to make peace, and so came to the party, where he was ordered away. Trying to save himself from humiliation, he offered to pay, first for his own portion, then for two, and eventually for the entire party, but the host refused to listen and kicked Bar Kamtza out. Bar Kamtza therefore hatched a plot which ended in the enemy king coming to Jerusalem, the Temple being destroyed, and the Jews being sent into exile. | |

The EU materials taking place around the time of The Phantom Menace imply that Viceroy Gunray's main motivation for having the Trade Federation blockade Naboo was out of revenge against Senator Palpatine because it was thanks to him and his bill that several members of the Trade Federation's leading races were assassinated (the only reason why the Nemoidians survived is because Sidious sabotaged the ship to prevent them from taking off for the summit). In the film itself, it was believed to be out of Greed. | |

Baldur's Gate: Kivan's motivation in Baldur's Gate. Not surprising considering his mate was tortured to death by one of the villains. Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate II. "Once, my thirst for power was everything. Now, I hunger only for revenge. And I... will... HAVE IT!" Minsc and Jaheira start out bent on beating Irenicus to death with a potato masher for the whole "killing the person they cared about most" thing. If you keep them in the party, eventually they do get to help take him out, and there is much awesome. Even the potato masher fits, if you accept a +5 potato masher known as Crom Faeyr, the Hammer of Thunderbolts. One of Astarion's main goals in Baldur's Gate III, aside from learning how to control the tadpole, is to get revenge on his master for the centuries he spent as a slave. He even admits that he'd be fine with staying a vampire spawn if it meant Cazador would die. |

The Ponies of Olympus series: The only reason Chrysalis agrees to Erebus' plan to infiltrate the Atlas Strongest Tournament is a chance at revenge on Twilight Sparkle for her defeat at the wedding. And it turns out that Ran Biao's grudge against Rarity is payback for letting Razorwing rape her, something that Rarity wasn't aware that she had done. |

Star Trek: Picard: When presented with the opportunity to kill Bjayzl in "Stardust City Rag", the crime lord who stripped Icheb for his Borg parts and left him to die, at first it seems like Picard has persuaded Seven of Nine not to go through with the murder. However, she teleports back to the casino and vaporizes Bjayzl with her phasers anyway. After Hugh witnesses the xBs being slaughtered by Narissa and her goons in "Nepenthe", he tells Elnor that he'll now give in to his desire to use the energy stored in the queencell to get back at the Romulans by causing them to lose control of the Artifact for all time. Although he dies before he can carry out his plan, he convinces Elnor to continue on his behalf. In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2", Seven of Nine states firmly just as she kicks Narissa to her death that she's doing this for Hugh. |

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans: Revenge drives the actions of Tekkadan at several points in the series. Their enemies are often caught off-guard by the sheer lengths they'll go to for it, and they never accept anything other than utter annihilation of their foes for retribution. Displayed quite clearly with Jasley Donomikols, who tries to surrender to them when it's clear he's lost, but Orga is having none of it: | |

Revenge and how it turns on itself is a major theme in Naruto, where it is presented as a crippling obsession. It starts with Sasuke, but ultimately turns out to be a stupidly deep family connection all the way back to the clan's founder, Madara Uchiha, and is the driving force of the plot as a whole, responsible even for the Kyuubi attack in the prologue. Sasuke has taken revenge to new and terrifying heights. And if the target of his revenge is removed; fear not! He'll just find something new to point his vengeance at. Unfortunately, the message gets muddled a bit when Shikamaru takes out Hidan for Asuma's death, and it's portrayed in a positive, "getting some closure" manner. Then again, Hidan was a dangerous, Axe-Crazy psychopath and wanted criminal, so really Shikamaru was just doing his job while having personal reasons for wanting to see it done. |

The reason both Scar and Mustang are in the story of Fullmetal Alchemist. Scar is killing State Alchemists as revenge for the loss of his family, his home and his country during the Ishval Massacre; Mustang, while he starts out merely as a Supporting Leader to the Elric brothers and still acts in that capacity for most of the plot, has finding the murderer of his closest friend, Maes Hughes as one of his highest agendas before foiling Father's plot takes center stage. When he does find the murderer - the homunculus, Envy - a Curb-Stomp Battle so epically one-sided occurred that it took all the other cast had in them, Scar included, to stop him from going off the deep end. | |

Rivers of London: In Black Mould, the mould was unleashed by a woman who wanted revenge on the slumlord whose filthy properties killed her husband. The plot of Cry Fox turns out to have been orchestrated by Reynard Fossman as an attempt to both net himself a windfall (which works, via Anna Yakunina's ransom, paid in diamonds) and to get back at the Folly by trying to get Abigail and Guleed, the most vulnerable associates, killed (which nearly succeeds, but Nightingale arrives just in time). |

Essentially the entire plot of Falling Down. One man's revenge (albeit a bit excessive) against all the little annoyances in the world, be it arriving five minutes too late to get breakfast at a fast food restaurant, which is met with drawing a machine gun and accidentally firing it in to the ceiling, needless construction, which is met with a rocket launcher, or price gouging, which is met with vandalism and price slashing via bat. | |

This becomes a theme in Black Panther's appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Captain America: Civil War, T'Challa wants to kill Bucky for the death of his father T'Chaka, But gets over it after seeing Iron Man and Captain America tear each other apart over Bucky's actual killing of the former's parents as a HYDRA agent. In Black Panther (2018), Killmonger wants revenge on the whole world in general for the historical treatment of enslaved Africans and their descendants, and Wakanda in particular for the death of his own father. In Avengers: Infinity War, Star-Lord's grief and anger over the death of Gamora causes Iron Man's attack on Thanos to ultimately fail. The first act of Avengers: Endgame has the heroes left feeling hollow after taking their revenge on Thanos, and much of the final act of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is about Shuri's desire for revenge on Namor after his attack on Wakanda. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Setsuna F. Seiei and Neil Dylandy (the first Lockon Stratos) both desire revenge against Ali Al-Saachez for the death of their families. Louise Halevy actually achieves her revenge against the woman who murdered her family... but after initially laughing and being happy about it, her laughter slowly breaks down into tears of pain and despair because nothing's really changed: her family is still dead. Ironically, the woman whom Louise murdered, Nena Trinity also lived solely for revenge against Ali al-Saachez for the murder of her brothers. Unfortunately for her, she fell victim to So Last Season. |

Revenge is a recurring theme in The Wonderful 101. A number of characters on both the heroes' and villains' sides have revenge as their primary motivation, and the game's story takes time to show how counter-productive revenge can be. People driven by revenge endanger themselves and everyone around them, and revenge as a motivator leads to one becoming just as much a monster as the ones they want revenge against. This is contrasted by Wonder-Red, who prioritizes the team and the mission above his personal feelings, even when that means not chasing the alien who killed his father. | |

In Season 7, Olivia Taylor becomes angry that Jonas Hodges, the man responsible for her brother's death, is going to be placed in witness protection, so she orders a hit on him, calling it off too late. During that season, Tony Almeida's desire for revenge for his wife and unborn son drives him to plan on tracking down and killing the head of the conspiracy. | |

The main reason everybody in Inuyasha teams up, at first. Inuyasha wants revenge on Naraku for killing Kikyo. Shippo wants revenge on The Thunder Brothers for killing his father, so he joins Inuyasha. Miroku wants revenge (and also to break his curse) on Naraku for killing his father indirectly/ giving him a Wind Tunnel in the first place, so he teams up with Inuyasha. Sango wants revenge on Naraku for killing her father, her people, her, and her little brother Kohaku and then using Kohaku as a puppet, so she joins Inuyasha. And Kagome... is just kind of there. | |

This is the core theme for Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, as every one of the protagonists has a beef with the antagonists, mostly Void Dark and Majorita. The game goes in depth on exploring how revenge motivates, how self-destructive it can become, and how one can move past it. As it turns out, Void Dark himself sought revenge against Killia for Liezerota's death, which Void Dark himself caused when she took his sword in Killia's place. | |

Risk It All: Subverted. As much as Ren wants to stop Black Mask, he's not really in it to vent a grudge on him or to avenge Alice, a woman he knew for barely a week before she's murdered He just doesn't like seeing people be killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time like he was. | |

The 1996 film adaptation of Harriet the Spy has Harriet enact even more revenge on her classmates than in the book, even carving their names into her desk so she can cross one off the list when she hits them. As in the book, she cuts Laura's hair off from behind. Then she draws all over the posters of various heartthrobs Beth Ellen keeps in her locker, hangs Carrie's bra off the flagpole in front of the whole school, sabotages Pink and Janie's respective science projects, makes photocopies of an embarrassing photo of Sport dressed like a maid and posts it all over school, and finally the most savage of all - she corners Marion in the bathroom and reveals that she doesn't have a father like she's been saying, and that her biological father is in Amsterdam "because he doesn't love you". | |

It's the driving Plot of Claymore. Clare wants to avenge her savior/adoptive mother Teresa who was killed by the one-horned monster Priscilla. In a weird twist, the one ending up killing Priscilla is Teresa herself through Clare's body. However for Teresa this is not a revenge as she puts it "there is no hard feeling between comrades who clash blades together". | |

Persona 5 gives us Goro Akechi, a person conceived as a result of an illicit affair by a corrupt politician and major villain Masayoshi Shido. As a result of the shame and social stigmatization he suffered, Akechi vows to exact revenge on the man who abandoned him and left him to his miserable fate. In his quest for vengeance, Akechi ends up relentlessly abusing his ability to manipulate the Metaverse in order to do Shido's dirty work, all so that he can pull the rug from underneath him when Shido succeeds in his ambition of being elected Prime Minister. As a result, this puts him in conflict with the game's Phantom Thieves, who are also driven by avenging the wrongs done to them and righting societal wrongs, but haven't crossed anywhere near the lines Akechi has. | |

James Bond Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye wanted revenge against the British government for the betrayal of the Lienz Cossacks, which included his family, who believed that they were under British protection near the end of WWII, only to be sent back to Stalin who promptly had them all shot. The fact that he was also doing so to make himself a pile of money off the destruction of London using a nuclear satellite that used an electromagnetic pulse weapon was just the icing on the cake. The R in SPECTRE, the villainous organization in previous films, stands for revenge. Blofeld mentions it specifically as what will happen if his demands are not met in Never Say Never Again. |

Detective Charlie Crews from Life is something of a Cloud Cuckoolander thanks to his 12-years of wrongful imprisonment after being framed for several murders and discovering Zen Buddhism as a way to stay sane in prison. He's a great example of Beware the Nice Ones, with a dark and dangerous streak running below his outwardly calm and friendly demeanor, but he's a firm believer in letting go of his anger instead of acting on it. But as he draws closer to finding the real killer, the man who murdered Charlie's best friend and his family, and the culprits of the frame-job that sent him to jail, Charlie is torn between the beliefs and ideals which saved his life and kept him sane in prison and the overwhelming desire for revenge. In the first season finale, he settles for justice instead (though he lets the killer ''think'' he's decided on revenge to coax a confession out of him). | |

Duel Masters: Benny Haha/Gyujiro Japan was originally part of White Soldiers, Hakuoh's personal guards during his time as the Duel Masters Champion. However, Benny was known as the worst human being in existence and had the habit of cheating in the worst fashion possible. He initially joined the white guardians in hopes of usurping Hakuoh as the number one duelist, but ultimately fails thanks to Shobu and his friends' intervention to the point of being presumably banned from official matches. Since then, Benny Haha was driven mad with vengeance and made it his life work at getting revenge against Shobu, his friends and everything Duel Masters. Even Shobu's apparent death didn't stop him at pursuing his revenge against Shobu, which is why he targeted his little brother Katta because of it. This also fuels his insanity as he will do whatever it takes to get to that end, even if it means getting his hands on an extremely dangerous card | |

Promethean: The Created: This is basically the point of Stannum, the Refinement of Tin. Prometheans who take up Stannum have essentially decided that they're sick of the world constantly pouring hate and derision onto them, and now it's their turn to dish it out. While it's easy for a practitioner of Tin to go too far with this, the most successful followers of the Refinement learn the difference between "justice" and "spite" and the need to avoid Disproportionate Retribution. | |

Mass Effect: Dr. Liara T'Soni went on a two-year-long quest to destroy the Shadow Broker after he tried to sell Shepard's body to the Collectors. Depending on your choices, this might also fit under Violently Protective Girlfriend. Zaeed wants revenge on Vido for shooting him in the head twenty years ago, Garrus wants vengeance on Sidonis for betraying him and his team, Kasumi gets payback on Hock for torturing her boyfriend to death, Thane got revenge on the men who killed his wife in his Backstory and Jack has a serious vendetta against Cerberus for experimenting on her as a child. It's really easier to list which members of the Mass Effect 2 squad don't want some form of revenge. Including Shepard, if you take the Renegade route, which gives us the quote, "The Collectors are about to find out what happens when you piss me off." |

Hotline Miami: Although it isn't properly elaborated on until the sequel, this is Jacket's primary motivation in both games. It is heavily implied that he became a hitman for 50 Blessings in an attempt at finally getting revenge on the Russians for causing the death of his close friend, Beard (who was killed in the atomic blast created by a Russian nuclear weapon which was dropped on San Francisco a few years before the game takes place). The latter half of the game is also spent directly attacking and destroying the Russian Mafia because (Jacket believes) they sent a hired hitman to murder his girlfriend. | |

Revenge is often a theme in Star Trek movies, most notably Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek Into Darkness. In the former movie, Khan tries to inflict his wrath on everyone (but especially Kirk), and in the latter, well... Khan tries to inflict his wrath on everyone. For different reasons though, because this is an alternate timeline. Furthermore, in Star Trek: First Contact, Captain Picard has to cope with his lust for revenge against the Borg. | |

Planet Hulk: Mainly in foreshadowing for World War Hulk, revenge is a recurring theme, with Hulk plotting revenge for his exile, Elloe seeking revenge for the murder of her father, and Miek contemplating taking vengeance for the murder of his father and enslavement of his hive. When asked what he would do, the Hulk responds: Revenge actually summed up the final battle between the Hulk and the Red King, with the former asking Miek to 'chem' all of them together to confront the Red King with his crimes before he smashes him. |

Gargoyles notes that "revenge is a sucker's game" and never accomplishes anything except spreading the need for revenge. Oddly, the only character who has a firm grasp of this in the beginning is the Affably Evil Big Bad David Xanatos, which is why he wins so often. Notably, one minor character finally gets his revenge for the various misfortunes he suffered throughout the series and actually succeeds at it, but mostly because his "revenge" consisted of hitting someone in the face with a banana-cream pie. Once that was done, he walked away satisfied. |

Their homeland, the Xyz Dimension, was ravaged by Duel Academy, and all three chose to exact revenge. Yuto is the most restrained of the three, actively trying to keep Shun from hurting innocents in pursuit of his revenge. Kite took it the worst of them all, becoming a total recluse in his desire for revenge. Ultimately, all three manage to overcome their anger by the end of the series. | |

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel Shadow of War center around a Gondorian ranger and a wraith's campaign of vengeance against the Dark Lord Sauron and everyone who serves him. Naturally, the concept is heavily involved in the mechanics, too: sometimes, an orc captain you seemingly killed will come back from the dead, having gotten meaner and harder from the experience, and orcs who kill you will reap better rewards if you kill them in turn after rising from your grave. | |

John Wick: A notable example, as the titular character isn't so much seeking revenge for the death of a loved one, but rather, revenge for the death of any sense of closure he may have found after his wife's death, as personified by the puppy she had gifted him with, who the villains trying to steal his car cold-bloodedly killed. It's entirely possible that he may not have embarked on his Roaring Rampage of Revenge campaign if they had just taken the car, and left his dog alone. Naturally, animal lovers watching the film are 100% in John's corner. | |

Superman: In Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, the main motive for the attack of the Metallos and Brainiac is to get even with Superman beating them so many times in the past.

General Lane never trusted Superman and he particularly disliked the way his daughter Lois fancied the Man of Steel. Lex hates Superman for a myriad of reasons including but not limited to xenophobia and narcissism. In Who is Superwoman?, Reactron is obsessed with taking revenge against Supergirl for breaking his special life-support armor suit, nevermind that she was trying to survive his assassination attempt. In turn, Supergirl wants to make Reactron pay for murdering her father. Superman: Up, Up and Away! has Lex Luthor attempt to destroy Metropolis for failing to worship him. Revenge is one of the central themes of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Ruthye's journey begins when she decides to seek revenge against her father's killer, a man named Krem. As seeking to hire an assassin, she comes upon Supergirl, who agrees to help her hunt Krem down, but thinks Ruthye should pursue justice instead of revenge. In The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, Lesla-Lar gaslights, kidnaps and brainwashes Lena Thorul to take revenge on her friend Supergirl. In The Phantom Zone, General Zod concocts a complex scheme to take revenge on Superman for harming Earth and its inhabitants. Brainiac's Blitz: The titular villain cannot get over the fact of having been defeated and put into a space prison by Superman, so he heads towards Earth to challenge and kill the Man of Steel. |

Persona: Persona 3 gives us Ken, a kid with a vendetta against his mom's murderer, Shinjiro, who accidentally killed Ken's mom from losing control of his power and has become The Atoner for it. When confronted on the anniversary of the mother's death, they get interrupted by Strega and Shinjiro sacrifices himself to protect Ken, denying him his revenge. Ken is of the Justice Arcana. Persona 5 gives us Goro Akechi, a person conceived as a result of an illicit affair by a corrupt politician and major villain Masayoshi Shido. As a result of the shame and social stigmatization he suffered, Akechi vows to exact revenge on the man who abandoned him and left him to his miserable fate. In his quest for vengeance, Akechi ends up relentlessly abusing his ability to manipulate the Metaverse in order to do Shido's dirty work, all so that he can pull the rug from underneath him when Shido succeeds in his ambition of being elected Prime Minister. As a result, this puts him in conflict with the game's Phantom Thieves, who are also driven by avenging the wrongs done to them and righting societal wrongs, but haven't crossed anywhere near the lines Akechi has. |

Odd Squad: Vengeance against Odd Squad is the primary motive of most Enfant Terribles seen on the show. They feel that the organization, and/or its employees, wronged them at some point in their lives, and as a result, they go to any lengths necessary to bring them down. Odd Todd is one such villain. An Evil Genius that is Good with Numbers, far moreso than any agent of Precinct 13579, who also was an absolute Jerkass to his partner Olive, belittling her and making her his inferior. While he began to do a Face–Heel Turn after becoming bored solving so many cases so quickly, it was only cemented when he pulled a Red Herring on Oprah and Olive and led them away from Tiny Dancer so she could make more oddness, which caused him to get fired. From then on, he is shown being obsessed with getting revenge on Odd Squad, as well as on Olive due to believing she got him fired (when she didn't — she had no involvement with his getting fired and instead actively protested against it before he assured her he was fine). In turn, Otto decides to get revenge on Odd Todd for his mistreatment of Olive in the Season 1 finale, "O is Not For Over", and pretends to join the odd side in order to overwhelm Odd Todd with enough oddness to drive him away for good. It ends up working, and come Season 2, he performs a Heel–Face Return and no longer seeks revenge. Ohlm is a more serious example of what happens when one lets revenge overtake them. While initially introduced as The Ditz of Precinct 13579, the second part of the Season 2 finale, "Odds and Ends", reveals that he was Obfuscating Stupidity in order to bide his time and advance in the ranks to enact his two Evil Plans. He enabled the villains to take down Odd Squad by giving them codes, gadgets and the like, and when that plan failed, he resorted to taking action himself and sucking every single Odd Squad agent into a black hole made up of all 10,000 gadgets the precinct has in their possession. And why does he want to do this? Because he was denied a promotion to the position of "The Big O" directly after graduating from the Odd Squad Academy, since he believed that he could put his smarts to good use as the head of every single Odd Squad precinct on Earth. Even when he nearly dies by way of being caught in the pull of his own black hole, and even when Oprah and Oona save his life, his thirst for revenge reveals the Ungrateful Bastard side of him as he vows to never rest until Odd Squad is destroyed. Unlike Odd Todd, he never performs a Heel–Face Turn of any kind and remains unredeemed. The Shadow, the Big Bad of Season 3, is another example, but unlike the other aforementioned villains, her reasoning for revenge is more personal in nature. In the third part of the finale, "End of the Road", it's revealed that she became a villain because her older sister, revealed to be Opal in "Follow the Leader", was too overprotective of her and never gave her a chance to prove herself as The Ace. As a result, she swore vengeance on her sister as well as on Omar, Orla and Oswald, became a villain, and began setting her plans in motion — first by sending the Sticky Sisters to retrieve the 44-leaf clover, then by hacking into the Mobile Unit's van and attempting to drown it along with the Mobile Unit themselves into the Lake of Goo, then by creating a Villain Network comprised of every single known villain of Odd Squad in order to take down the organization using their own modus operandi of teamwork against them. The third plan ends up being the most successful, and it results in a Near-Villain Victory before Opal attempts to help her sister snap out of it by apologizing for her actions and replaying an entry from her Captain's Log. It works, and The Shadow — now being referred to by her real name, Olizabeth — performs a Heel–Face Turn and reconciles with Opal, helping her and her teammates beat back the purple tornado made from all the villains' powers that was previously stored inside a cube of her own creation. By the end of the finale, Olizabeth becomes The Atoner and decides to travel the world with her sister in order to repair the damage that she caused, abandoning all semblance of revenge against her, the Mobile Unit, and Odd Squad as a whole. |

The episode of Malcolm in the Middle "Lois Strikes Back" involves four mean girls playing a vicious prank on Reese that leaves him humiliated and shaken. When the school won't punish the girls, Lois takes matters into her own hands. She lines the helmet of Kirsten with lots of gum, resulting in her beautiful long hair having to be cut off. Diane has a large collection of dolls and stuffed animals, and finds their heads all cut off and hidden in her locker. Lois then phones Heidi's parents pretending to be a hotel receptionist and that Heidi made reservations for the night of a High-School Dance - stashing a bag full of condoms and lingerie in their living room to implicate her further. Finally, she and Reese ambush Paula as she's leaving for the dance by pelting her with water balloons and ruining her dress. | |

One Piece: Revenge is one of the main driving forces of the Pirate Alliance Saga. Trafalgar Law's love and devotion for Donquixote Rocinante, the man who ultimately saved his life and the dearest person in his heart, is the only reason he survived to this very day — to get revenge on Rocinante's murderer, his older brother Donquixote Doflamingo. In turn, Doflamingo is driven by his hatred of the World Nobles, who rejected his plea to return to Mariejois as one of them after their father gave up their family's status as Celestial Dragons. So angered by this decision that he wishes to destroy the very world they lord over in retaliation and so driven that he is even willing to sacrifice those he deems close to him, and will only forgive betrayal with the embrace of death. This adds another layer dichotomy to their relationship as each other's Arch-Enemy. Whereas Law is driven by revenge for the sake of another, Doflamingo is driven by revenge for the sake of himself, highlighting that while they aren't so different they are Not So Similar either. | |

The Sting: Hooker's main motivation in conning Lonnegan is revenge for the murder of his friend, Luther. Despite Gondorff's claim that revenge is for suckers, it appears that it's at least part of the motivation for many of the grifters. Revenge and the money, at least. It's acknowledged early by Gondorff and at the end by Hooker that it's not enough, but it's close. | |

Being humiliated and ruined in the first film thanks to Ginger, Mrs. Tweedy doubles down on the chicken business by investing in mind control technology and high security to destroy the chickens' free will before making them happily walk to their deaths, with revenue being a secondary goal. Upon seeing Ginger again, Mrs. Tweedy decides to make the chicken slaughter a lot more personal. | |

The Tonberry of the Final Fantasy series is the Moe Anthropomorphism of this concept: (aside from their One-Hit KO move once they come up close) their attack Karma/Everyone's Grudge deals damage proportionate to the number of enemies its target has killed. Revenge is a key theme in Final Fantasy XII, specifically whether or not the princess Ashe (Ashelia B'Nargan Dalmasca) will or should take revenge against the Archadian Empire for their subjugation of Dalmasca and the death of her husband, Prince Rasler. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: One thing a viewer can expect in pretty much all of the various series in this franchise is revenge being a character’s motivation. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters: The original series has Bandit Keith, a minor antagonist who wanted revenge against Pegasus for humiliating him in a Dueling Tournament. In Season 2, you have Marik Ishtar, who’s motivated by wanting revenge on the Pharaoh, believing that he murdered his father. Later in Season 4, you have Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood, who want revenge on Joey and Yugi respectively for their defeats in Duelist Kingdom. In Season 5, this is the main motive of Thief King Bakura (and by extent, Yami Bakura) of Yu-Gi-Oh!, who desires revenge for the massacre of Kul Elna. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: In Season 2, there’s Aster Phoenix, who grew up into an Anti-Hero out of a desire for revenge against the man who killed his father. In Season 3, Jaden descends into this, wanting revenge against Brron, Mad King of Dark World, for sacrificing his friends. Jaden’s desire for revenge leads him to be possessed by the spirit of his past self, the Supreme King. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: About half the Dark Signers became how they were out of a desire for revenge. Their Earthbound Immortals possessed them after their deaths to exact revenge, causing them to be reborn as Dark Signers. Misty wanted revenge against the Arcadia Movement for the death of her brother. Specifically, she wanted payback against Akiza, as Akiza was the one who attracted her brother to the Movement in the first place. Carly wanted revenge against Sayer, the leader of the Arcadia Movement, for killing her. Greiger desired revenge against Goodwin for seemingly destroying his family and homeland. Kalin wanted revenge against Yusei for seemingly selling him out to Sector Security years ago. In the latter two cases, these were the results of misunderstandings; Greiger’s home was actually destroyed by the Dark Signers, and Yusei actually tried to turn himself in to save Kalin, but to no avail. Crow himself initially fought for revenge in his duel with Greiger, but Yusei managed to talk him out of his anger. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: This is the major motivation of Vetrix. Once Byron Arclight, he was betrayed by his friend Dr. Faker, who cast him (and Yuma’s dad Kazuma) into the void between dimensions. Byron eventually managed to make it back to Earth, but not before years of interdimensional travel regressed his physical form to that of a child. Taking on the new identity of Vetrix, he set out for revenge against Dr. Faker. To that end, he had his son Quattro hospitalize Shark’s sister Rio and ruin Shark’s dueling career, thus causing Shark to desire revenge against him. Shark exacts his revenge in the World Duel Carnival, though not before Quattro tells Shark how Vetrix ordered him to do what he had done. So, now Shark wanted revenge on Vetrix, but Vetrix took advantage of that to turn Shark into his puppet. As for Vetrix himself, Yuma finally convinces him to let go of his revenge after their duel. Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: This is the motivation of the series’ 3 major Xyz duelists: Yuto, Shun, and Kite. Their homeland, the Xyz Dimension, was ravaged by Duel Academy, and all three chose to exact revenge. Yuto is the most restrained of the three, actively trying to keep Shun from hurting innocents in pursuit of his revenge. Kite took it the worst of them all, becoming a total recluse in his desire for revenge. Ultimately, all three manage to overcome their anger by the end of the series. Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS: In this series, this is the initial motivation of the main character. The whole first season revolves around Yusaku Fujiki/Playmaker and his friend Cal Kolter working together to exact revenge against the Knights of Hanoi for the “Lost Incident�, which resulted in Yusaku and Kolter’s younger brother being tortured for several months. At the end of the first season, Yusaku declares his own revenge over after defeating Revolver, and from there, he finally begins to move on with his life again. |

Revenge, and its destructive effects, is the primary theme of The Last of Us Part II, and the driving force between both main characters. Abby hunts down and kills Joel, the protagonist from the first game, who killed her father at the end of the previous game when rescuing Ellie. This, in turn, leads Ellie to track her to Seattle in her own Roaring Rampage of Revenge, killing all of Abby's friends to try and get to her. The cycle of vengeance is strong enough that it nearly destroys both women, and ultimately leaves Ellie, who decides to spare Abby in the end, with nothing but loneliness. | |

Game of Thrones: Ser Loras Tyrell and Brienne of Tarth swear vengeance against Stannis Baratheon after their beloved King Renly is murdered, though to be fair to Stannis, Renly was a usurper who was clearly intending to kill him. Brienne finally takes it in the Season 5 finale. Robert Baratheon's intense hatred for the Targaryens stems from Rhaegar Targaryen's kidnapping of his late betrothed Lyanna Stark. He dreams of killing Rhaegar every night because Vengeance Feels Empty. Robb vows to kill the Lannisters who murdered his father in "Fire and Blood". Catelyn comforts him and promises him revenge, but only after they rescue Sansa and Arya first. Oberyn Martell comes to King's Landing seeking revenge for his sister's rape and murder. Littlefinger conspires with Olenna Tyrell to murder Joffrey as revenge for the Lannisters' role in the death of his beloved Catelyn Stark. Ironically Littlefinger engineered the war and (it's implied) the execution of Ned Stark, in revenge for being rejected as a suitor for Catelyn's hand. One of Viserys Targaryen's driving motivations is to punish those who stole the Iron Throne. |

Spider-Man: Few of his enemies are obsessed with revenge against people who wronged him like one of his oldest, Adrian Toomes, the Vulture. The whole reason he became the Vulture was to seek revenge against Gregory Bestman, his embezzling business partner who had robbed him blind. Since then his schemes have revolved around revenge against people who have cheated or wronged him in some way, including Spider-Man himself, the Vegas crime boss Morris "the Snake" Diamond (who stole his blueprints for a special plastic compound), another mobster named Mr. Morgan (who hired the Hitman to kill Spidey before Toomes could do so), and especially crooks who copy his blueprints to try to duplicate his equipment. This has included "Blackie" Drago and the Vulturions. Not coincidentally, Toomes is currently the only man to call himself the Vulture. In a case of two revenges for the price of one, there's the original motivation of Venom. Disgraced reporter Eddie Brock hated Spider-Man because he'd caught the real Sin Eater serial killer after Brock had published an exclusive article with the confession of a fake. The alien symbiote wanted revenge because Spider-Man had rejected it. The Jackal's motivation in The Clone Saga. He blames Spidey for not saving Gwen Stacy, nevermind that it was the Green Goblin's fault. |

Critical Role's first campaign has Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III, the resident gunslinger of Vox Machina, who lost his family to Lord and Lady Briarwood and their people and was the only member of the family to escape alive. Percy swore vengeance and created his first gun with the help of a smoke demon by the name of Orthax. When the Briarwoods resurface, Percy spends a good portion of the Briarwood Arc meting out vengeance to his tormentors with a ruthlessness and brutality that makes the rest of Vox Machina quite nervous before they eventually have to help free him of the demon before it can claim his soul. | |

The Lex Luthor of Young Justice defies this in the same manner as Xanatos and uses the same phrase: "Revenge is a sucker's game". Not surprising considering their fourth wall father. Weisman also worked on The Spectacular Spider-Man, and in this case it's not a Big Bad but a lower-ranked but likable villain who lives by it: Sandman was a thief and never forgot it even once getting super powers, and once, when offered payback against Spider-Man by joining the Sinister Six, he said that he didn't care about revenge and just wanted the "big score" he'd always dreamed of. (He joins anyway, once convinced there'd be a lot of money involved.) |

Maria no Danzai: The plot is kickstarted after Kiritaka Nagare is sent to his death by his sadistic bullies, after which they leave behind a trail of fake evidence pointing towards Kiri committing suicide because of Abusive Parents. When his grief-stricken mother Mari learns the truth from a diary Kiri secretly left behind, her grief is replaced with an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. After preparing for two years, divorcing her husband, discarding her identity, changing her name to Maria Akeboshi, and going to vicious lengths to torment her targets as much as possible before they die, Maria is bitterly aware that her vendetta has turned her into a monster, but pushes herself to continue because at this point it's too late to stop; revenge is the only thing that keeps her going. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Invaders Space Marine chapter destroyed the Eldar Craftworld Idharae. The survivors of Idharae who joined Craftworld Alaitoc, returned the favor by destroying the Invaders' fortress-monastery. The chapter was reduced to 300 marines, and lost many of their weapons. The enmity between the Space Marines and their Chaotic parallels may have originated in Horus's ambition and the schemes of the Chaos Gods, but it's been marinated in vengeance until both sides would gladly see every last one of the other faction dead in a ditch. The reason Calth is a world of subterranean cultures, scarred by a radioactive sun? The Word Bearers' revenge for Monarchia. The reason the Ultramarines have kept the clock on that engagement running for ten thousand years, seeking out the Word Bearers whenever they return from the Eye of Terror? Revenge for Calth (admittedly mingled with general responsibility - defending Imperial citizens from people like the Word Bearers is also their job). The reason Angron turned on the Emperor at the first opportunity? Revenge for his fellow gladiators, who the Emperor abandoned to their deaths. Chaos Marines are generally better at drawing strength from these ten thousand years of trading causes for loathing, since time flows weirdly in the Warp, meaning many of them remember wounds inflicted thousands of years ago and losses in battles dating back to the Heresy. |

Warhammer: The Dwarfs have a serious problem with this. They're incapable of ever letting something go, and everything anyone does that displeases them is a deliberate, malicious strike against them. One instance involves a human fortress being razed because they hired dwarven engineers to help build it and shortchanged their payment by a handful of coins out of thousands. Instead of accepting that this was probably just a clerk miscounting or a ripped bag losing a few coins in transit and either brushing it off or sending someone to explain what the problem is and asking for the complete payment, they instead stewed on this vile theft for a century, assembled an army, and laid siege to the baffled fortress. Solkan the Avenger, one of the Gods of Law, is strongly associated with revenge and retribution as part of his broader focus on justice, and this serves as a common part of his public appeal. In Tilea, he is viewed as the patron of the vendetta, a dueling tradition with very strict rules, and invoked when people feel that they have been cheated or wronged. In the Empire, his northern incarnation, Söll, is popular among surviving Sollander families who want vengeance on the Orcs who destroyed their province. |

Pili Fantasy: War of Dragons: A lot of plots center around getting revenge (or justice) against other characters for killing loved ones or allies, upsetting their plots, or just plain hurt Pride. Notably, a few characters do grow to forgive others of said offenses. Ku Yeh is notable for having several grievances with various other martial artists. He wants to avenge himself against the Viper Cult for the loss of his arm and parents. The Golden Sun Emperor for having a hand in it. And Chi Lu-jen for his involvement. |

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the Cutie Mark Crusaders concoct a plan to get some extremely well-deserved payback on Babs Seed, but find out that she became a bully in response to being bullied where she came from, and that they'd be no different if they did the same thing. (They end up going to a lot of trouble to save her from their plan, made harder by her continuing to be a Jerkass, but Babs also learns her lesson in the end.) That when you Pay Evil unto Evil you become subject to He Who Fights Monsters was the Aesop of the week. In the Season 5 finale, "The Cutie Re-Mark", Starlight Glimmer uses a Time Travel spell to undo Twilight's friendship with the other members of the Mane 6 in order to exact revenge for Twilight stopping her from stealing other ponies' cutie marks in the name of equality. She snaps out of it after accidentally causing the apocalypse in one timeline. In the Season 6 finale, "To Where and Back Again", after having not been seen in the show since the Royal Wedding, Queen Chrysalis and her Changeling Swarm return for revenge for that defeat by taking their previous plan up a notch with kidnapping all five Alicorn Princesses, Prince Shining Armor, Spike, and the Elements of Harmony, essentially decapitating Equestria's government and primary defenses in one fell swoop to clear the way for a full-scale invasion. However, thanks to Starlight Glimmer and Thorax, a traitor to the Swarm, the Swarm pulls a Heel–Race Turn and destroy Chrysalis' throne, free the ponies they kidnapped and cocooned, and effectively go from enemies to Equestria to one of their most powerful allies, except Chrysalis, who swears revenge again over losing everything and escapes to return in the future to take her vengeance on Starlight, then possibly the Royal Family and Mane Six again. In the Equestria Girls special "Mirror Magic", Juniper Montage stumbles on an enchanted hand mirror and uses it to get revenge on the Humane 7 for exposing her sabotage of the Daring Do movie in "Movie Magic". |

Kill la Kill: Ryuko Matoi is fighting Satsuki Kiryuin's pawns because Satsuki knows who killed Ryuko's father, and Ryuko wants revenge. Satsuki is dismissive, calling such motivations base and worthless. Actually, Satsuki has the exact same motivation — even more so than she thinks. Her father and baby sister were murdered by her mother Ragyo (and Ragyo has taken to molesting her in the meantime, making things even more personal for her), and she's spent her entire life building up an empire to fight back. The truth is, her father rescued her sister, then faked his death and took on a new identity to raise her. That identity? Isshin Matoi. Ryuko is Satsuki's baby sister, and Satsuki has been trying to avenge her for over a decade. | |

In Next of Kin (1982), Rita's primary motive for the murders in the Montclare retirement home is revenge over being placed in a mental institution by her sister as part of a Passed-Over Inheritance and to protect the latter's niece. This is possibly also a case of Misplaced Retribution, as Rita attacks said niece for the actions of her mother, intending to frame her for the murders and take over Montclare. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: About half the Dark Signers became how they were out of a desire for revenge. Their Earthbound Immortals possessed them after their deaths to exact revenge, causing them to be reborn as Dark Signers. Misty wanted revenge against the Arcadia Movement for the death of her brother. Specifically, she wanted payback against Akiza, as Akiza was the one who attracted her brother to the Movement in the first place. Carly wanted revenge against Sayer, the leader of the Arcadia Movement, for killing her. Greiger desired revenge against Goodwin for seemingly destroying his family and homeland. Kalin wanted revenge against Yusei for seemingly selling him out to Sector Security years ago. In the latter two cases, these were the results of misunderstandings; Greiger’s home was actually destroyed by the Dark Signers, and Yusei actually tried to turn himself in to save Kalin, but to no avail. Crow himself initially fought for revenge in his duel with Greiger, but Yusei managed to talk him out of his anger. | |

Mr Eaten's long-term goal in Fallen London is to get payback for his own death at the hands of the Masters of the Bazaar. Indeed, the player themselves, acting as an agent of Mr. Eaten, can carry out revenge for him rather directly, albeit not in a way explicitly stated. Right before the end of his questline, one can turn back and end Seeking at the Avid Horizon, and receive the most dreaded weapon in the game, the Seven-Fold Knock. In Ambition: Bag a Legend!, one can use the Seven-Fold Knock to create a weapon to kill the Vake, aka Mr. Veils, the Master who orchestrated Mr. Eaten's betrayal and death. The player can even go a step further and get really poetic justice by sparing the aspect of Mr. Veils that specifically was responsible for those events, Veils of the Third City, only to pickle and eat them to consume their power, the same process that led to the murder of Mr. Candles, turning him into Mr. Eaten. This connection is indirectly confirmed in that the icon for this choice is a candle. |

Once Upon a Time all began because the Evil Queen/Regina wanted to get back at Snow White for unintentionally telling Regina's manipulative and abusive mother Cora about her affair with the stable boy — resulting in Cora killing the stable boy and forcing Regina into a loveless marriage, which would lead to her Start of Darkness. And poor Snow is still unaware that she did anything wrong. Likewise, in season two, Aurora wanted to get revenge or at least some sort of justice on Emma and Snow for indirectly causing Prince Phillip's Fate Worse than Death, despite Mulan cautioning her not to. Her attempt to attack Snow failed and ended up causing trouble for the entire group. |

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic: Hakuryuu's goal is to avenge his brothers and father who were killed by his own mother, the empress Ren Gyokuen. This trope is deconstructed by showing how self-destructive his path is and how it turns him to the dark side. It is then reconstructed when Hakuryuu rejetcs all his friends and sister peaceful advices and chooses by his own will that he'd rather drive himself into a corner than abandon his vengeance. Hakuryuu eventually achieves his revenge by killing his mother. However she was only a vessel for a thousand years old witch and she continues to live on even after the end of the series... |

She is invading the Moon to kill his wife Chang'e (despite the Lunarians having imprisoned her for different reasons).

Many of the murders in Ace Attorney are inspired by a thirst for revenge. One very notable (non-murderous) example is in Justice for All with Franziska von Karma, the daughter of prosecutor Manfred von Karma. She goes after Phoenix Wright in court and brags at how she will defeat him with her logic and power as a prosecutor, which leads Phoenix to believe that she's seeking revenge due to him uncovering the crimes of Manfred von Karma, her prosecutor father; Phoenix not only found him responsible for the crime that Edgeworth, Franziska's adoptive brother, was on trial for, but also uncovered that he was the one who killed Edgeworth's father so many years ago. It's subverted when Franziska reveals that her actual reason for revenge is because after the final case of the last game, when Edgeworth realized that he had become the very thing his father hated and had been following his killer's "win at all costs" ideaology for years, he disappeared and a note behind saying that he "chose death"; this led Phoenix and Franziska to believe that he had been Driven to Suicide. She blames Phoenix and is determined to bring him down to avenge Edgeworth and his pain, not to mention winning against the person Edgeworth couldn't beat, since she has a ruthless competitive streak and has always been trying to "beat" Edgeworth, even when they were kids. | |

Revenge is partially the driving force of Xadhoom's life in the Disney series Paperinik New Adventures. As the Last Of Her Kind after an alien race destroyed her home planet, she's dedicated her life to wiping out every last one of them. Said aliens are now threatening Earth, so she becomes an ally to the main character - Donald Duck's superhero alter ego - but her obsession is implied to be rather unhealthy. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam, Char's motive for moving up the ranks of the Zeon military is to put himself in a position to kill off the Zabi family, who were responsible for his father's death. He personally succeeds in killing two of the five (the others die from familial/political infighting or in combat). After achieving this, he instead switches his focus to following his father's ideals... and takes them a bit too far. | |

In The Bone Collector, the villain's murders turn out to be an elaborate scheme to get revenge on one of the two cop protagonists, whose mistakes caused the villain to be wrongly imprisoned. "Mistake" is debatable, since he was jailed for planting false evidence on criminals he was insistent were guilty. How correct he was never explained into, though in his point of view and his theories were "flawless" and he had been jailed for working for a greater good, his duration in there being traumatic (which ironically mirrored the people he framed, one even committing suicide). |

Fantastic Four: The reason for Doctor Doom's supervillainy is the fact that he blames Reed Richards for every single thing that has ever happened to him, starting with his disfigurement, and wants nothing more than to cause him as much pain as possible in revenge. This actually makes them quite different from many other pairs of Arch Enemies: for example, Lex Luthor and The Joker are the nemeses of the respective heroes because they start out as being a certain way and, due to their differences with the hero, grow to hate them and eventually focus on them. Doom, on the other hand, is a supervillain who branches out to become an enemy of every single Marvel superhero out there, but every single thing he does can be eventually traced back to his hatred of Reed Richards. | |

The Mentalist centers around Patrick Jane, formerly a fake psychic who uses his skills at manipulation and knowledge of human behavior to help law enforcement, all in the larger goal of tracking down Red John, the serial killer who murdered his wife and child (because Jane, while still pretending to be a psychic, mocked him on national television.) While most assume his intention is to bring Red John to justice to achieve a sort of personal redemption, he eventually reveals that his intent all along was to kill Red John. Notably after he made this revelation, the next two episodes directly dealt with revenge killings; a mother who killed to avenge the neglectful if accidental killing of her teenage daughter, and a young man who killed to avenge the deliberate murder of his best friend and father figure. After their confessions, Jane asked them both the same question: was it worth it? The woman broke down in tears, saying that in the end it didn't change anything. The man, on the other hand, said that it was completely worth it, and that it was a "cleansing" experience. Neither of these answers comfort Jane, and he eventually goes through with his revenge, though the man he killed turned out to be an impostor sent by the real killer in his place. Later on in the series, though, he unmasked the real Red John and killed him. | |

Hiei from YuYu Hakusho. He was cast out of his birthplace by his own people, simply for being male, while they held his mother back as she pleaded for his life. While Hiei's feelings on his mother are unclear, his primary motivation early in life was to kill every ice maiden in the Glacial Village and burn the place right out of the sky and into the ground. He ultimately gives up on this after he returns to the village and sees how miserable the lives of its inhabitants are, deciding that letting them live is a much bigger punishment than putting them out of their misery. | |
