This applies when a villain or other dark and troubled/troubling character was not so as a child: the trope name also tends to appear as a Stock Phrase in these cases. Works, and audiences, may vary considerably as to what point they consider a character to be past the adolescent stage here, but post-adolescents in general need not apply.
Aversions will usually be notable here, given expectations that Children Are Innocent, or that there's at least some Ambiguous Innocence even when Kids Are Cruel, so people will tend to assume a Start of Darkness must have happened, and that there will be a Freudian Excuse that will explain (if not excuse) all. By extension, this trope frequently applies through subversion, inversion, etc. where an Enfant Terrible, Creepy Child, or Ax-Crazy junior initially manages to get past everyone's radar but is actually a little horror from the start. ("And he seemed like such a nice kid"). Often, it is not clear which a character fits under, which in turn often leads to a Flame War, especially if the character is also a Draco in Leather Pants.
Generally, the trope tends to be reserved for villains near the Big Bad end of the villain spectrum, but can also be played for What Measure Is a Mook?. Also, while this is most commonly a villain trope, it can apply to characters who are not so much aligned with evil as troubled, bitter and twisted, cynical, jerky, despairing, lacking in emotions or insane. Or an Anti-Hero. Or just going through puberty. (In the latter case, expect the parents to invoke the trope name.)
When played straight, this trope tends towards Rousseau Was Right, though if other villains and darksiders in the same work do not fall under this trope, Rousseau may have only a partial victory, and the trope is sometimes used as the exception that proves the rule in Hobbes Was Right or Humans Are the Real Monsters scenarios. Also frequently used, straight or otherwise, to make more or less anvilicious points about free will, destiny, individual responsibility, or the moral version of Failure Is the Only Option.
Handled well, this trope can really add depth and complexity: handled badly, especially by combination with a poorly executed Freudian Excuse, it tends to cause Badass Decay and Villain Decay.
Often related to From Nobody to Nightmare, though the character may be of some prominence from an early age, or even from birth. This subset of the trope can be heart-breaking, as when a long-awaited Chosen One turns bad. Also often the precursor to Break the Cutie and Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. In these cases, expect it to be Played for Drama with extra Tear Jerker moments. It's also often invoked to make the audience Cry for the Devil. If they weren't just a sweet kid, but a Kid Hero, they may be a dark version of Kid Hero All Grown-Up.
Sometimes, the "used to be nice" stage may be revealed only retrospectively, often by a third party, and the villain himself/herself may treat the "sweet kid" stage as an Old Shame that undermines their Villain Cred. This last one may be Played for Laughs, as the villain furiously denies their Pet the Dog past, often complete with stomping on cutesy childhood toys and memorabilia. Or it may be Played for Drama in an "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight with the good guys.
Compare She Is All Grown Up, in which the character may have been a sweet kid, but is now a very attractive woman. Compare Used to Be More Social in which the character used to be a social butterfly, but has become introverted and withdrawn. Contrast Reformed Bully, a character who was mean and/or smug while young, but is a much nicer person now, and Former Teen Rebel, a character who was rebellious and immoral while young, but is no longer like that. Compare Was Once a Man, where a person was a human being (not necessarily a child) becoming a monstrous being, though they may overlap.
Sadly, this trope is Truth in Television, as many people who started out as good ended up becoming malicious later on in their life, but as this trope deals with a person’s morality, No Real Life Examples, Please!

The titular character in Caillou the Grown Up started out as a sweet innocent child, but years of his parents spoiling him and never giving him any sort of discipline eventually turned him into a selfish psychopathic adult with the mind of a child.

In Room, Ma/Joy Newsome is not a villain or even a bad person, but she is understandably deeply troubled from being held captive and raped by a stranger for years. She lampshades this trope herself, and how impossible it would be for her to be anything but, in an argument with her mother in the film.

Nevermoor: In the third book, Morrigan is able to peep in on lessons from generations past via a Pensieve Flashback, and is stunned when she sees the Big Bad, Ezra Squall, in his youth. In stark contrast to the Faux Affably Evil sociopath she knows, in the past, he's mostly seen trying to learn how to use his powers, enjoying his lessons, and laughing and having fun with his friends. The same friends he'd later go on to kill. All Morrigan can do is wonder, "What happened?"

Bojack Horseman:
The title character is a major Jerkass in present-day, but his upbringing was less than stellar.
This was also the case with Beatrice. She was a happy little girl in The '40s who watched her family fall apart following her brother's wartime death, culminating in her mother's breakdown, drunken endangerment of Beatrice in a car crash, and eventual lobotomy where Beatrice was told never to love anybody that much again. What little chance she had of recovering was crushed when her father callously burned her things in a fire and threatened to lobotomize her just like her mother if she ever cried or showed too much emotion again.
As a child, Sarah Lynn was as sweet and friendly as the character she played on Horsin' Around. She lost her innocence early, and a life of Hollywood/music industry excess had turned her from a charity-running Teen Idol into a spoiled Drama Queen.

X-23: The entire plot of The Killing Dream, the first arc of her solo series, revolves around an apparition that may be the Enigma Force showing Laura that she wasn't born an emotionless killing machine, but that the Facility consciously destroyed her innocence. That she is inherently a good person despite the evil she's done is critical in helping her throw off the demon attempting to recruit her to his service. X-23: Innocence Lost actually shows what was done to her, as well as small glimpses of the sweet and innocent child she was before the Facility tried to break her. Much of Laura's life after escaping the facility is spent trying to repair the damage that was done to her.
Xander Rice is first introduced in Innocence Lost as a wide-eyed toddler whom Martin Sutter has to tell his father won't be coming home. He grows up with such deep-seated loathing of Wolverine as a result, that he takes it all out on Laura just because she's Logan's clone. And then he doesn't so much jump off the slippery slope as he does take it with a rocket-powered toboggan and keep going.
In subsequent books, even Kimura, of all people, is revealed to have been the product of an abusive upbringing and didn't use to be the Ax-Crazy psychopath Laura was introduced to by the Facility.

The Mighty Thor: Depending on a whole lot of things Loki might have been one of these, after getting over the abusive blood relatives, and before the adoptive ones and fate itself turned out to be jerks too, and he stepped on his path of darkness. We can't really tell for certain because all stories of his childhood are plagued by unreliable narrators. Generally if Thor or Loki himself tell about those times then he was a sweet kid, if anybody else then he was always evil apparently. But the theory got more believable when he was reborn as a child and turned out to be... a nice kid albeit also very rebellious and mischievous with serious problems fitting in.

X-Men:
Nate Grey, while not a villain, used to be this. Grown in a tank, briefly made an appearance as a small child and was so adorable that he elicited Cuteness Proximity in none other than Mister Sinister. Even after, when he escaped from the cloning tanks as a teenager, he ended up an idealistic revolutionary - surprisingly idealistic, considering it was the Age of Apocalypse. Sinister killing his Parental Substitute, Forge and another of his companions, while an assassin killed another of his companions, and finding out that he was Laser Guided Tyke Bomb with a self-destruct switch significantly embittered him, and while he remained a Knight in Sour Armor, he eventually drifted into a stranger and more ruthless form of Anti-Hero (developing Blue-and-Orange Morality as part of his 'Mutant Shaman' thing didn't help), while his renewed idealism was shattered in Dark X-Men and he ended up becoming an Anti-Villain in Uncanny X-Men (2018) and Age of X-Man — until he realized that for all his best efforts, he'd become as bad as Apocalypse, if not worse.
Graydon Creed, the human son of Sabretooth and Mystique was once a genuinely sweet and nice little boy searching for his mommy and daddy. When he learned firsthand how absolutely monstrous both his mutant parents were however Graydon snapped and became a Boomerang Bigot and President Evil. It’s especially tragic that his half-brother Nightcrawler despite his obvious mutant appearance and discrimination he got from it — actually had a comparatively better and healthier childhood than poor Graydon.
Wolverine was once a gentle, sickly little boy named James who wanted only to play with his friends Dog and Rose and his puppy. This ended the day that Dog propositioned Rose, causing James to report him to his father. This set off a chain of events that led to Dog and his father storming James' home and slaughtering his family, which in turn caused his mutant powers to manifest themselves. Everything has been downhill for him ever since.
Magneto from X-Men. Had The Holocaust not happened...
Both Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were once upon a time happy and sweet Romani children (similar to Victor Von Doom as a boy) who traveled around Europe in a Gypsy clan with their loving adoptive parents Django and Marya. Starvation, several traumatic incidents, Wanda accidentally setting fire to a village and getting hounded by a mob, getting found and brutally raised by Magneto who had them Forced into Evil all resulted in Wanda and Pietro becoming the very mentally unstable anti-heroes they are as adults.
Magik was Colossus' sweet kid sister. Then... stuff happened, and she is now the franchise's main Designated Hero / Villain Protagonist / Nominal Hero / Anti-Hero, Depending on the Writer. Regardless of that, she's always her team's Token Evil Teammate and a Sociopathic Hero.
Heroic example with Rogue. Anna Marie was the adorable daughter of Mississippi hippies, but the disappearance of her mother Priscilla led to her being raised by her mean and authoritarian aunt which caused Rogue to run away from home. Things got better when she met a boy named Cody and had some Puppy Love with him, but upon her First Kiss her mutant power activated and put Cody in a life-long coma. Unable to control her powers, Rogue hid in the wilderness threatening anyone who approached her with a shotgun, at which Rogue was found and adopted by Mystique who raised her to be a supervillain. Eventually Rogue would have a Heel–Face Turn and join the X-Men and regain her lost better nature, although she is still a Broken Bird at times.

Monsters University: Randall Boggs and Mike were friends in college. Randall himself was a very introverted cute nerd who got encouragement from Mike and frequently helped Mike study, even letting him have first pick of the beds in their dorm. When Mike gets into a conflict with Sulley, then a Jerk Jock, Randall plays the rational friend and tells him to let it go. As the film goes on, Randall goes to the popular kids, and slowly loses his nice demeanor, blowing off Mike, who needed his help, and later helping to humiliate Mike's fraternity. By the end of the film, Randall lets rivalry, and implicitly ambition, get in his way and when Sulley accidentally ruined his chance of victory at the Scare games, swears to never be beaten by him again.

In Kamen Rider Wizard, the monsters of the week, Phantoms, start off as "inner demons" that kill their hosts if they cross the Despair Event Horizon and take on their human form as a disguise. They're actually entirely different beings from their hosts, but to those not in on the Masquerade, this trope seems to be in full effect. In particular, one episode had Haruto dealing with a young woman who doesn't understand her college friend's bizarre shift in attitude, and Haruto chooses to tell her that the friend went overseas to study filmmaking rather than crush her with the painful truth. The biggest exception to this is Gremlin, who was a Serial Killer before becoming a Phantom, and ends up becoming one of the most monstrous Kamen Rider enemies in a long time.

Beauty and the Beast (2017) gives this backstory to the Beast. Belle learns from Mrs. Potts that the Prince was a sweet, innocent little boy until his mother died, leaving him in the hands of his cruel father, who shaped him into the selfish, arrogant Prince Charmless whom the Enchantress eventually cursed.

Bleak Expectations:
Series Big Bad Mr. Benevolent was a good-natured kid. Then there were three abusive stepfathers, the first of whom deported or killed all his friends, the second murdered and ate his pets, and the third had him sent to Antarctica. By the time he gets back, he learns his mother had been doing all this to make sure he became a complete bastard because he's descended from Judas Iscariot's accountant. However, it's learning that his childhood sweetheart had married another, which he just missed, and getting taunted about it by an obnoxious kid that pushes him over into full evil.
Protagonist Pip Bin. In his early life, starting in his mid-teens, he's generally good-natured (if a little Victorian, and entirely thoughtless). By the point of the framing story, the elderly Sir Phillip Bin is a curmudgeonly, sexist jerkass of the highest order.

Leatherface shows that the titular character was quite reluctant to kill as a child and had a strong sense of right and wrong as a teenager. Inevitably, he grew up to become the brutish chainsaw-swinging butcher we all know and love from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Arrow: Through Malcolm Merlyn's flashbacks, we see that his son Tommy used to be a relatively innocent child who idolized his father before they began to drift apart, resulting in Tommy becoming a notorious womanizer who began to resent his father.

Nikita of The Girl from the Miracles District has several Happy Flashbacks that show her as a cheerful, if... unusually-raisednote Her mother is an assassin who's been training her since Nikita could walk child before her father kidnapped and tortured her, turning her into the aloof, emotionless woman of the present day.

Notably averted on Dexter. Dexter is shown to have killed his neighbour's dog because it barked too loud as a child, and even at that time, Harry seemed aware that Dexter was a psychopath.

James Bond:
007 himself was implied to be this as hinted at in the books and a few times in the films. The first time we get any conformation that Bond was not always a violent, cynical, womanizing Sociopathic Hero is in Skyfall when his family's groundskeeper Kincade shows M a secret priest hole in the manor and recounts a moment from Bond's childhood.
Also implied with Lyutsifer Safin in No Time to Die. Bond and Madeleine see a photo of a young Safin and his family, in which the villain appears as a Cheerful Child. He even mentions his parents were chemists, suggesting he had a peaceful and carefree childhood before his family was murdered by SPECTRE.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has some notable non-villainous examples.
Inverted example with little Princess Leia Organa who has the stubborn and irritating Well, Excuse Me, Princess! traits seen in A New Hope on full force as a little girl, to the point of being a serious hassle for Obi-Wan. A far cry from the patient and sensible Team Mom Leia becomes in the rest of her appearances. Played with though, as Leia isn’t a complete Royal Brat displaying some genuine Nice to the Waiter behaviour.
Played straighter with Luke, who in the brief glimpses we see of him is (very similar to his father) a playful Tatoonie boy who wants to be a pilot, blissfully unaware he’s gonna end up as a jaded and grumpy one-handed old man in several decades time.

The Simpsons:
"Rosebud": Young Monty Burns was depicted as one. A flashback showed him happily playing with his teddy bear Bobo, and being referred to by his parents as "Happy."
"Lisa's Sax" has flashbacks to Bart Simpson's first day of school, showing how he became a bad kid at school (his kindergarten teacher openly told him he had no future whatsoever, and he was bullied by Jimbo Jones, all while Homer calling him and his problems as nothing more than a lost cause).
"Panic on the Streets of Springfield": Largely subverted. Lisa Simpson becomes enamored with an '80s musician and adopts both his grungy aesthetic and cynical, world-weary philosophy. A dismayed Marge claims that Lisa used to be such a happy little girl, but Lisa, who has always been defined by angst, activism, and moral outrage, dismisses her mother's claims with a single word ("When?"). Marge quickly admits that she was looking through rose-colored glasses, but still doesn't approve of the level of nihilism Lisa is currently operating under (which Lisa herself dispenses with by the episode's end).

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: The short story "The People's Temple" by Paul Leonard opens with two Neolithic kids who are good friends. Bear Cub has a careless confidence and is prone to bouts of anger, but he's generally inclined to be helpful, which is why he's friends with Young Deer, who is clever, but also scared of many things, and needs Bear Cub as a source of strength, even as he tries to keep his friend out of trouble by coming up with ideas. One of his ideas is that they could rebuild the wooden Great Temple in stone. Jump many years later, and the Great Bear has become the megalomaniac conqueror of much of Neolithic Britain, as he sacrifices countless slaves to this vision, while the Deer Man is his loyal high priest, but by the time the Doctor arrives has long ago realised that these days, the thing that frightens him most of all is the man who once leant him bravery.

Adam from Arby 'n' the Chief is an 8-year-old boy who's a member of Chaos Theosis, a group of cyberterrorists who wreak havoc across Xbox's Network. However, he is demonstrated to be the most cruel and volatile of all its members. He always screams and shouts online, verbally abuses his mother and friends, gleefully enjoys killing people for fun, and stealing their account information to do what he feels like doing with it. During his final appearance though, when his mom finally breaks down asking what can be done to make him behave, she reminds him (and his friends) that was once a very happy young boy who would play nicely until playing Halo corrupted him into the monstrous child he's become. Adam however coldly dismisses her yet again and continues acting the way he does. Needless to say, this comes back to bite Adam at his demise, HARD.

WandaVision has an extremely tragic example as we see a flashback of Wanda Maximoff's childhood in Sokovia, Wanda was once a sweet and cheerful girl who loved sitting with her family watching the wholesome American sitcoms her father managed to find and she dreamed of being like the glamorous women on the TV who didn't live in a war-torn country. One night during their routine family TV time, a mortar shell from Stark Industries bombs their house killing her parents and leaving her and her brother Pietro sitting waiting for it to go off under a table. Afterwards Wanda went from innocent girl to Broken Bird and Hydra volunteer to supervillain turned Anti-Hero who after losing her brother and later her android husband eventually snapped and created a fake reality based on the idyllic sitcom family life she wanted when she was little.

Heroes Reborn (2021): Hyperion was a "Gosh, darn, shucks" variety of country boy and a Nice Guy who truly respected and liked his peers in the Imperial Guard (including a pair of male members that were a couple). Contrast this with the grim ultranationalist, hard-liner that he is today (though he's still nowhere as vicious as Nighthawk or Doctor Spectrum and does occasionally regret killing).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003): In the episode "Insane in the Membrane", it appears like this trope will be subverted when Baxter flashes back to his childhood and is seen about to pour some sort of chemicals on a bug in a jar. He changes his mind and lets the bug go. Through more flashbacks, it was clear that he was a good kid who was devastated by his mother's death, and the memories of her were enough for him to let the Turtles and April go.

When They Cry:
In Higurashi: When They Cry, Miyo Takano used to be a cute, sweet girl who liked to collect flags and go eat outside with her parents. A car crash, which causes the death of said parents, results in her getting sent to a horrible foster home where she spends "not so nice" moments. Much later, she's out murdering children to release an illness that'll kill hundreds, all while laughing maniacally and spouting self-glorifying lines.
In Umineko: When They Cry, the main antagonist, the seemingly Ax-Crazy sadistic Beatrice was once a timid young servant named Yasu who wanted to learn magic to spice up his/her not really nice life. While Beatrice isn't actually as sadistic as she seems, she still has a lot of issues.

In Popular Emory Dick notes his twin sisters Emily and Emma used to be nice, but after puberty, they became burgeoning Alpha Bitches. They show up in the episode wearing tight tops and skirts really short for their age, and ask Nichole and Mary Cherry to train them on how to be the top girls in junior high. They later even turn on Nicky and Mary, wearing dresses and furs at a party the same as what Nichole and Mary are wearing.

RWBY: Cinder Fall was not always the cruel and power-hungry maniac that she's become. As a child, she was bullied by the other orphans and then cruelly abused by her adoptive "family". Meeting Rhodes gave her hope for the future, and she tried to hold on until she was old enough to apply to the Huntsmen Academy. She lasted about five years, before being pushed to breaking point by her family and then by Rhodes for trying to arrest her for murdering her family. That ended her chance for becoming a Huntress and started her down the road of becoming a villainess.

Double Homework: According to Marco, Dennis used to be a quiet, unassuming kid who was nice enough to fix his classmates’ computers whenever they asked and without asking for anything in return. Dennis’s dad describes his son as weak and “sentimental,� which he probably uses to describe anyone (especially a male) with a kind heart. Possibly a subversion, however, as the protagonist suspects that Dennis was fixing his classmates’ computers to find and keep nudes of the girls.

The Doomy Adventures of Irken Doominess:
Melissa as a smeet was a very frail and kind irken, until she was abused by her classmates, lost her sanity, began killing lots of people, got a taste for human blood, and overall became quite messed up.
Gar, who was normal as a smeet, got ridiculed by everyone, was singled out to be the tallest's personal Chew Toy, started Hearing Voices, and got a major Sanity Slippage which resulted in her trying to kill the tallest.
Deef might qualify since Word of God states his mother cared about him up until the age of six when she decided he was able to take care of himself. He still lives with her but seems neglected by her. That said, Deef isn't insane, he's just strange and has No Social Skills.
Inverted with Nel who used to be a homicidal jerk and is now a very nice human.

Similar to Ragna, Jin was a kindhearted child growing up. Ragna even compares him to Jaune while Tsubaki and Weiss remember him as being shy, friendly, and curious during their childhoods. Flash forward to years later where he's grown up into quite a cold-hearted asshole.

Several characters are this in the fangame Pokémon Rejuvenation:
Team Xen Admin Nastasia is cold, cruel, and completely remorseless in regard to her involvement in terrorist attacks; making even her coworkers question why she is so ruthless. It is later revealed that she used to be Anastasia Bellarosa, a sweet but shy and introverted girl with an overbearing mother and only one friend, Maria. She then went through extremely traumatic events, such as watching Maria be sacrificed by her cult leader father and almost be killed by a meteor. It is still unknown what exactly caused her transformation. However, she still has some goodness within her, as she ensures you receive your mother’s Sylveon and appears to still care about Ren, who she met as a child.
Fighting leader Keta/Kenneth is an even more tragic example. When he first arrived in the Aevium Region, he was an idealistic young man longing to improve the lives of those affected by the calamity Storm-9. After managing to do that by rebuilding Sheridan Village with his wife Taelia, he was given an ultimatum to kill her, whose sender had already killed his mother. He refused and lost both her and their child Nora in the process. He mistakenly believed Taelia blamed him, as his mind was manipulated by the mysterious Freya, who saw him as a mere puppet. Years later, after finally reconciling with his brother Deagan, he too died seconds after. The last straw was him being recruited by Team Xen and being forced to sell his villagers’ lives in exchange for his own, at which point he asked an Oracle to completely separate himself from his emotions, isolating himself from the ones who still loved him.

The tie-in novel A Frozen Heart revealed Prince Hans used to be the Nice Guy he pretended to be. However, his father, the king of the Southern Isles, despised having a son show any soft side, and to counter this he had all of his older and more violent sons bully Hans in numerous ways. His fear of returning home and an obsession with getting his father to finally respect him brought out the worst in him.

Honoka's Bizarre Adventure: Zig-zagged with Nozomi Tojo. Initially, she a sweet girl with a strained relationship with her parents who always moved them but a close bond with her grandfather, particularly with their interests in fortune telling. After her grandfather's death and her father refusing to let her go to his funeral, Nozomi ran away to the streets of Cairo, using her Stand [Ace of Space] to run a gang of children. She ruled the streets for two years until she was confronted by Mohammed Avdol who not only defeats her but also saves her from a massive fire at her base and nurses her back to health. This reminded her of her late grandfather, forcing Nozomi to realize how far she fallen from his teachings. Once she recovered, Avdol trained her in both fortune telling and using her Stand, before she returned to her parents in Japan, eventually becoming the kind-hearted Team Mom for µ's.

Discworld's Sam Vimes might be the setting's incorruptible Big Good, but he's also a cynical, grumpy self-described 'bastard'. But when we meet his younger self in Night Watch young Sam is a bright-eyed idealist who believes in heroes and justice and invites his new sergeant around for tea with his mum. In the words of his time-travelling middle-aged self, "You're not me. I don't think I was ever as young as you. If you're going to be me, it's going to take a lot of work. Thirty damn years of being hammered on the anvil of life, you poor bastard. You've got it all to come."

The Mandalorian: Mando Din Darin himself. Flashbacks show he was once an innocent little boy, whose parents and an entire village got massacred by Battle Droids during the Clone Wars and was taken in by the Mandalorians. As an adult, he's a stoical, ruthless Anti-Hero Bounty Hunter who prior to meeting The Child Grogu was Only in It for the Money. He gets better over the course of the series though.

As seen by one film reel in Iron Man 2 Tony Stark was once a playful little boy who innocently wandered into his father Howard’s film shoot and played with the scale model of the Stark Expo, at which his father growled at him and had a member of the film crew take Tony away to his mother out of frame. With this glimpse of his childhood, coupled with getting shipped off to boarding school, is it any real wonder Tony grew up to be such a jerky egotistical, womanising Insufferable Genius in his adult life? He does take a major level in kindness and heroism though.

Inverted with Dudley Dursley, who is a brat and a bully as a boy, but begins to grow out of this after he's attacked by Dementors in Order of the Phoenix. In the final book, he's the only one of the Dursleys to express concern over what's going to happen to Harry after they part ways, and also gives him a relatively friendly goodbye.

Homestuck:
Vriska Serket may play jump-rope with the Moral Event Horizon, but as a kid she was positively adorable.
Rose Lalonde started off as a mature yet sweet 13-year-old who just wanted to play a game with her friends so she could see her dead cat again. Once the game got started, she started communing with the Horrorterrors and wielding dark magic. She eventually turned into this. She gets better, though.
Aradia can count as an example, being a cheerful Adventure Archaeologist before dying. She becomes the kind of person who enjoys breaking things for amusement and claiming there is no free will. She gets better during the course of the story.
Averted with Lord English. His younger self Caliborn is almost as bad as he is now, just smaller and constrained.
Kurloz Makara seems to have been a pretty nice normal teenager until he had some kind of Eldritch Abomination nightmare, mutilated his own mouth, and started working for the abovementioned Big Bad. His dancestor Gamzee similarly was fine until he ran out of sopor slime; it's likely he would still have turned to work for Lord English, but would have done so more subtly and without murdering Equius and Nepeta, had he never been on the drugs.
Most of Kurloz's group fit this trope thanks to being stuck as "kids" for several millennia. Cronus Ampora was a wannabe magician who hoped to defeat an evil wizard, Damara Megido was a lovestruck schoolgirl that spoke little English, and Kankri Vantas planned to reform his discriminatory society.
Damara's case is a little more complicated, as she turned significantly darker even before the whole "stuck as immortal teenage ghosts on a plane of shifting dreams" thing came into play. She was originally a positively sweet and highly insecure girl from a far-off corner of their home planet ("Alterniasia", Beforus' Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Japan) with a poor command of standard Beforan language. She has however found love in the form of Occidental Otaku Rufioh... that is, until he got bored of her and started cheating on her with Horuss, another member of the group, breaking her heart and sense of trust. (It's implied that the only reason he hooked up with her was because of his Foreign Culture Fetish.) Then their leader Meenah started relentlessly bullying her about it, up until the point where Damara snapped, went on a killing spree murdering Meenah and almost killing Rufioh too, and selling out her entire session to Lord English as revenge. By the time the heroes meet her, she's long past her sweet personality and has regressed into an embittered, vulgar, cynical Jerkass Woobie.

The Machineries of Empire: The Immortal Ruler Nirai Kujen lived in poverty as a child and entered politics in part because he believed nobody else should go hungry. As a ruler, he became a sociopath concerned primarily with physical pleasures, scientific experiments, and maintaining his immortality.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 shows that Rocket was once this. He started life as an ordinary baby raccoon from Earth but then was painfully genetically and cybernetically modified, but even then was a very innocent and child-like kit who was eager to impress his father figure, wanted to fly on rockets in the blue sky with his friends in the new world and had hope that he would do so. Then said friends die at the hands of said father figure, and moments before that man said he wasn't worth anything other than his unique brain and was definitely not going to the new world. It's no wonder Rocket became a bitterly, even bitingly sarcastic, foul-mouthed, cynical, and generally misanthropic jerkass by the time we see him in the first movie.

The Order of the Stick:
Averted in the case of Xykon — the whole point of the Start of Darkness prequel book was to show that he had no redeeming features whatsoever and never did. In the creator's words, not only is he thoroughly evil, he's also sort of a dick. While he may not have been evil when he first discovered his gift for Necromancy at the age of 4, by the age of 12 he's killing a Captain Ersatz of Professor Xavier (granted, one who was being an incredible dick about how wizards are inherently better than sorcerers), zombifying him and siccing him and his zombified grandma on his parents.
Played straight with Redcloak and his close-knit family, though. For goblins, they were quite nice people.

A car crash, which causes the death of said parents, results in her getting sent to a horrible foster home where she spends "not so nice" moments. Much later, she's out murdering children to release an illness that'll kill hundreds, all while laughing maniacally and spouting self-glorifying lines.

Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf. As seen in "Timeslides", the beginning of "Dimension Jump" and Rimmer's own accounts, was once a sweet, polite little boy who was: extensively bullied by his three older brothers and classmates, neglected by his adulterous mother, domineered by his insane father, tied to spit roast by his scout troop who planned to eat him, accidentally molested by his uncle who mistook his bedroom for his mother's and had his shoes thrown in the septic tank "while he was wearing them". All these experiences turned Rimmer into the glorious Smeghead we know today, although his better qualities are present on occasion. Lampshaded in "Terrorform" where in a Journey to the Center of the Mind, the boys find metaphysical gravestones of Rimmer's Generosity (died age 9), Honor (died age 12) as well as his Charm which judging by the tiny gravestone died when he was a toddler.

Maleficent does this for both the title character and King Stefan, the latter of whom is the Big Bad. Yes, the self-proclaimed "Mistress of All Evil" was once a friendly, loving girl, who was in love with a human - but their love was destroyed by political feuds between their kingdoms. In the end, Maleficent does a Heel–Face Turn.

Grojband: Trina Riffin was once a sweet girl, but she locked her old self (known as "Katrina") away in her mind and turned evil (and at least one of the reasons why was to impress her crush).

a black arrow in the fog features a Deconstruction with Alexiel. While his siblings Maxwell and Evelyn believe that he was a good kid who gradually grew "worse" after Evelyn was taken to the Circle, Alexiel himself grows convinced that he simply didn't have any opportunities to express his true self until after his sister was sent away. Maxwell is only able to start mending their relationship once he acknowledges that his brother wasn't "broken" by his childhood trauma.

Done in The Nostalgia Critic's "Commercials Special". When he's on the edge of a Despair Event Horizon, he picks up a photo of himself as a kid and angsts about how he had so much promise and dreams back then. So that sweet, "perfect" child went through a Break the Cutie (parental abuse, date rape, bullying, and stalkers) and became a cynical, depressed man who has nothing left in his life but reviewing. He recovers, though.

In Radiance, Severin didn't grow up to be evil, but she was estranged from her father, tough as nails, and not particularly affectionate towards anyone who isn't her boyfriend. Her father's personal video reels show that when she was a child, she was an adorable Daddy's Girl who loved to play and run around her father's sets.

Warlock (1967): Gamora was once an innocent little alien girl who had her race decimated by the Grand Inquisitors of the Magus. She was then found by Galactic Conqueror Thanos, who actually did care for her despite being far from ideal father material, but nevertheless was bound and determined to make a ruthless killer out of her. This, along with other traumatic incidents including almost getting killed by Thanos’s Black Order (jealous of all the attention their boss was giving her), losing all her limbs and getting them replaced with cybernetics, infamously getting raped by a group of alien thugs after running away from Sanctuary all shaped Gamora into “The Deadliest Woman In The Universe�. Her just being a Nominal Hero among the Guardians is an incredible improvement given what she’s suffered.

The Powerpuff Girls:
Inverted with Professor Utonium, as the episode "Get Back Jojo" reveals that he was an obnoxious brat with no interest in science until his future daughters saving him from a time-travelling Mojo turned him into a Reformed Bully.
Played straight with Mojo himself, whose Origin Story reveals that he was a happy-go-lucky chimp and the Professor's lab assistant. However, the Freak Lab Accident that created the Powerpuff Girls also mutated him into the Evil Genius Card-Carrying Villain he is today.

The Owl House:
Flashbacks to her teenage years depict Odalia Blight as being a normal (if stuck up) student who is shown just hanging out with her friends. Needless to say, the cold-hearted businesswoman who emotionally abuses her family and is willing to sell out her entire species for a payday bears little resemblance to the person she once was.
Memory portraits in Emperor Belos' mindscape reveal that he was once a sweet child named Philip Wittebane who loved to play games with his older brother. His descent into a fanatical, cruel tyrant of the Boiling Isles who seeks to wipe out all witches is the result of said-older brother falling in love with a witch named Evelyn, which Philip saw as a betrayal to their upbringing as witch hunters. He ends up killing his older brother in a fit of rage, leading him into a downward spiral where he becomes a literal monster trying (and failing) to salvage his happy past by cloning his brother and fulfilling his dream of being a witch hunter.

An Anon-a-Miss Carol shows that Sunset Shimmer was a sweet filly who endured years of emotional abuse by Cinch's pony counterpart, alongside Upper Crust. Being surrounded by False Friends who only wanted to use her to get closer to Princess Celestia, coupled with her own jealousy of Celestia being closer to Cadance, caused her to grow bitter with age.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
As seen by one film reel in Iron Man 2 Tony Stark was once a playful little boy who innocently wandered into his father Howard’s film shoot and played with the scale model of the Stark Expo, at which his father growled at him and had a member of the film crew take Tony away to his mother out of frame. With this glimpse of his childhood, coupled with getting shipped off to boarding school, is it any real wonder Tony grew up to be such a jerky egotistical, womanising Insufferable Genius in his adult life? He does take a major level in kindness and heroism though.
Judging from the flashback at the beginning of Thor, Loki had a good relationship with his brother Thor and their father and had a penchant for mischief before the jealousy settled in. Loki was much the same in original Norse Mythology, sans the jealousy issues. Thor and Loki were frequently involved in mischievous pranks, and nobody thought too much of Loki's shenanigans until one of them got Baldr, the incredibly popular god of beauty, killed.
From what we see in the flashback in Black Panther (2018), Big Bad Erik "Killmonger" Stevens was a curious boy who loved listening to his father's stories about Wakanda and playing basketball with his friends. But when his father died and he was abandoned in Oakland, he became embittered and grew up to be a vengeful terrorist who wants to unleash a massacre all over the world.
Gamora as seen in a flashback in Avengers: Infinity War was once an innocent girl. Thanos and his army arrived on her planet and killed half her race along with her mother and abducted Gamora training her as a Tyke Bomb from an early age. When we first see her as an adult in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), she’s an aloof and violent Dark Action Girl although she does become a Defector from Decadence. Teammate Peter Quill as seen in his minor kidtroduction was a sweet kid who loved his mom and music and only got into a fight with some other kids because they squashed a frog. Having watched his mother pass away from brain cancer in front of him and was subsequently raised by Space Pirates, who turned Peter into a thrill-seeking outlaw and Green-Skinned Space Babe womaniser. Peter did manage to retain his love of music and better nature, however, buried underneath his immature jerkass behaviour.
As extensively shown in The Teaser to Black Widow (2021) Natasha and Yelena were once cheerful and happy little girls living comfortably in Ohio in the '80s with loving (non-biological) parents Alexei and Melina. Getting forced back to Russia, taken away from said parents, shoved in cargo containers with many other girls, surgically having their uteruses cut out and rendered infertile, brutally trained and disgustingly abused in the Red Room by Dreykov in order to be Black Widows — all unsurprisingly turned Natasha and Yelena into depressed, brutal, sarcastically jaded adult women. Although Nat like the aforementioned Tony was able to alter the course of her life and become a hero instead, which given the circumstances of her past is a miracle in itself.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 shows that Rocket was once this. He started life as an ordinary baby raccoon from Earth but then was painfully genetically and cybernetically modified, but even then was a very innocent and child-like kit who was eager to impress his father figure, wanted to fly on rockets in the blue sky with his friends in the new world and had hope that he would do so. Then said friends die at the hands of said father figure, and moments before that man said he wasn't worth anything other than his unique brain and was definitely not going to the new world. It's no wonder Rocket became a bitterly, even bitingly sarcastic, foul-mouthed, cynical, and generally misanthropic jerkass by the time we see him in the first movie.

Iron Man: Tony Stark from the few flashbacks we see from his childhood was a sweet little boy who suffered from verbal abuse from his alcoholic father Howard and buried his nose in books about knights and heroes and studied electronics to cope. When his parents died, Tony was left without guidance and love, becoming a womaniser jerkass Arms Dealer who even as Iron Man manages to be quite the Broken Ace on multiple occasions. Thankfully Tony has conversely managed to keep his Hidden Heart of Gold and has become a Big Good in his own right.

The Umbrella Academy:
Diego, Klaus, and Vanya out of the siblings were much more innocent and sweet when they were little kids compared when their adult selves. Diego is now a violent vigilante with a chip on his shoulder, Klaus is now a cowardly drug addict and Vanya is now an emotionally repressed Broken Bird who feels she is a useless burden to her family due to seemingly lacking powers. All of this is the result of their cruel adoptive father Reginald Hargreeves putting them through Training from Hell from an early age, emotionally abusing them, and neglecting their feelings.
Played with regarding Five, as a boy he was an arrogant jerk who wanted to prove to Hargreeves he was capable of pushing the limits of his powers. After using his Time Travel powers to send himself into the Bad Future and growing old there, Five matures becoming an old, jaded man wanting to set Set Right What Once Went Wrong. Even after going back to the past and becoming a boy again, he's much less pompous and cares greatly for his siblings.
Leonard was once a sweet boy who idolized the Umbrella Academy siblings and wanted to be heroes just like them, only to be cruelly rebuffed. After going home to his abusive father who beat him for his actions and demanded he grab him a beer, Leonard grabbed a hammer and killed his father, becoming a vengeful psychopath.

Harry Potter:
Subverted in two ways with Sirius Black: it turns out he never joined the Death Eaters at all and was always a good-hearted young man. At the same time, calling him sweet was a bit of an overstatement since he was also a notorious prankster and a bit of a showoff though not a bad person at all.
Snape seemed to have been about as good as a kid raised in an abusive and poor household could be expected. And while he eventually did a Heel–Face Turn to Dumbledore in his twenties, there was a period of time when he served Voldemort and remained bitter enough that many people believed he still was evil into his thirties. His adulthood was more of a case of Good is Not Nice than anything.
Also played with Peter Pettigrew. While there were accusations thrown that he hung around the Marauders mainly because they were popular, he did stick by them for the most part and learned to stick by his werewolf friend, Lupin. Despite this, he would come to betray them for Voldemort.
Quirinus Quirrell was apparently a very gifted wizard who, like any true Ravenclaw, loved to learn and study. However, years of abject bullying by his peers drove him to try and become a great wizard to show them all and be remembered. However, before he could do so, he happened to meet Voldemort on a trip to Albania...
Averted with Voldemort. Tom Riddle was rotten to the core even as a small child.
Inverted with Dudley Dursley, who is a brat and a bully as a boy, but begins to grow out of this after he's attacked by Dementors in Order of the Phoenix. In the final book, he's the only one of the Dursleys to express concern over what's going to happen to Harry after they part ways, and also gives him a relatively friendly goodbye.

In the Jackie Chan Adventures and W.I.T.C.H. crossover fic Kage, Miranda is an untrustworthy and jaded shapeshifter teenager who hates both Queen Elyon and Prince Phobos vehemently, and her main concern is her own survival. However, it's revealed that when she was five years old and more innocent, her parents were burned right in front of her by Kur after she tried in vain to save them by revealing herself. She was afterwards recruited by Phobos, becoming cynical about trust and embittered at those she regards responsible for her parents' death, including Elyon.

Smallville: Lex Luthor doesn't really count as in his case it's a Face–Heel Turn that happens during the show, but his younger half-sister Tess Mercer does. Just compare the woman from the flashbacks in "Toxic" to the cold Broken Ace in the present-day timeline before making a Heel–Face Turn.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
While hiding out in Zuko's summer home, the group find a picture of a smiling and sweet-looking boy◊ and tease Zuko about it. But much to Team Gaang's dismay, Zuko reveals that it's not of him — it's a picture of his abusive father Fire Lord Ozai. They're left baffled and horrified at this, wondering how such an innocent toddler would one day become the genocidal, sociopathic, and warmongering tyrant they're now up against. Even invoked:
Prince Zuko himself counts. Even after his Heel–Face Turn, Zuko is still a perpetually frowning emo loner, though he softens quite a bit as he becomes a good guy. But in flashbacks, he's shown to actually have been a genuinely sweet, happy kid... at least until the shit hit the fan. The series illustrates this with a still image of him from a flashback before a lightning strike transition to him in the present◊.
Fire Lord Sozin, the man who began the Hundred Year War represents a bit of an older example, but as a teenager, he is shown to be a kind and generous youth who thinks the world of his best friend, Roku. Even after learning Roku was the Avatar, rather than reacting with jealousy, he gives him his royal heirloom hairpiece as a keepsake before he goes off to training. Years later, in a desire to spread his nation's prosperity to the rest of the world, he leaves said best friend to die to remove an obstacle to his plans, sparks a brutal war and commits unspeakable atrocities, including the nearly complete genocide of the Air Nomads. It's hinted that some of the sweet kid he used to be is still buried deep inside, as a number of his lines right before his death hint at deep regret for his actions, even if he can't bring himself to outright admit them.

Arcane: The whole damn point of the show. The explosively insane Jinx was once the sweet Tag Along Kid Powder who just wanted to help. Sadly, her idea of 'helping' was using her Gadgeteer Genius skills towards building a number of bombs in the hopes of eventually building a working one to help her family in a fight. She succeeded in the first part, not so much the second.

Zootopia:
Played straight with Nick Wilde, who was an earnest and idealistic kid hoping to fit in no matter what, until the local Junior Ranger Scout troop he was eager to join attacked and muzzled him simply for being a fox. The traumatic experience convinced him to never show anybody that they get to him and to embrace the stereotype of foxes as shifty and untrustworthy.
Inverted with Gideon Grey, a vicious fox childhood bully who had no qualms about beating up Judy Hopps and clawing her left cheek during the A Minor Kidroduction. Later, during Judy's 10-Minute Retirement in the third act, she discovers that her parents have formed a partnership with Gideon Grey, who, thanks to fifteen years of Character Development, is now a much kinder mammal and a extremely successful pastry chef. In fact, the first thing he does upon meeting Judy for the first time in years is apologize for how he treated her in his youth.

Batman:
Batman. He's not evil, but he became dark and bitter after his parents were murdered.
The Joker, Depending on the Writer, and to the extent that he gets a childhood backstory at all (and which may or may not be true), and possibly Batman himself, when given a Darker and Edgier interpretation.
Helena Bertinelli, started out as a sweet, adorable little girl who, granted, had been born into a mafia family, but had not a bad thought for anyone. Then, when she was eight years old, her family was murdered in front of her at dinner. Then the Gotham police sent her a "condolence" card that read "Many Happy Returns!" Then she was taken to Sicily to be raised by her cousins, who turned out to be mafia assassins. They raised her to believe that the mafia were Just Like Robin Hood, and to believe in omerta, and to avenge her family, and, to that end, they trained her as an assassin. Then they were arrested by the Italian government as part of a crackdown on organized crime, and she was sent to boarding school in Switzerland, where she learned the truth about the mob. After an upbringing like that, it's hardly a surprise that she became a ruthless vigilante killer.
Tim Drake was very much a sweet kid when he sought out Batman to try and save him from himself. The Trauma Conga Line that has followed has noticeably changed him to the point that he's willing to use The Scarecrow's fear toxin and has a hit list that, while having the expected villains, also includes large swaths of the Justice League, just as a precaution.

In The Great Ace Attorney, Ryunosuke is baffled to discover Barok van Zieks, infamous Grim Reaper of the Bailey, used to be known as the "little darling" of his family and was purported to be a rather sweet, unassuming man all the way up to university. While the decade's worth of public infamy and survived assassination attempts explain some of his present persona, the real Cynicism Catalyst was his much-revered brother's murder at the hands of a trusted family friend, who was later convicted as a Serial Killer.

Frozen (2013):
Elsa used to be a happy child, in addition to being a Cool Big Sis to Anna. Then, after an incident where she accidentally hit Anna in the forehead with her ice magic while trying to save her from falling, she was told to hide her powers from the world, especially from Anna (whose memory was altered by the trolls to erase her knowledge of Elsa's powers). Afterwards, Elsa avoided any interaction with Anna, becoming more of an Aloof Big Sister, remaining mostly in her room while brooding over her powers. By present-day, she had become emotionally distant from everyone. However, she refrains from crossing the Moral Event Horizon, and even returns to being a good sister to Anna by the film's end.
The tie-in novel A Frozen Heart revealed Prince Hans used to be the Nice Guy he pretended to be. However, his father, the king of the Southern Isles, despised having a son show any soft side, and to counter this he had all of his older and more violent sons bully Hans in numerous ways. His fear of returning home and an obsession with getting his father to finally respect him brought out the worst in him.

In Star Trek, Khan Noonien Singh was one of Earth's most notorious dictators and the reason why The Federation adopted a No Transhumanism Allowed policy on genetic engineering. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, however, shows that at one time, he was a precocious and lonely boy frightened by an Assassination Attempt.

Kamen Rider:
In Kamen Rider Double's movie, Big Bad Katsumi Daido/Kamen Rider Eternal is described this way by his mother. He's an unusual case since he died and was brought back to life by Mom's research, which may have had some effect. However, as the Eternal Returns prequel movie shows, the complete flip to evil happened when he and his fellow undead mercenaries tried to save Foundation X's psychic test subjects and failed after the Hope Spot.
In Kamen Rider Wizard, the monsters of the week, Phantoms, start off as "inner demons" that kill their hosts if they cross the Despair Event Horizon and take on their human form as a disguise. They're actually entirely different beings from their hosts, but to those not in on the Masquerade, this trope seems to be in full effect. In particular, one episode had Haruto dealing with a young woman who doesn't understand her college friend's bizarre shift in attitude, and Haruto chooses to tell her that the friend went overseas to study filmmaking rather than crush her with the painful truth. The biggest exception to this is Gremlin, who was a Serial Killer before becoming a Phantom, and ends up becoming one of the most monstrous Kamen Rider enemies in a long time.
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Taiga Hanaya was introduced as a smug jerk steamrolling everything in his way. Kamen Rider Snipe: Episode Zero prequel special reveals that he used to be a kindhearted doctor, who failed to save a patient and lost everything (his job, his licence, his faith in the world) as a result.
Kamen Rider Zi-O: In 2068, Ohma Zi-O is the greatest tyrant of all history, who reduced the world to wasteland and rules it with an iron fist. In 2018, the ordinary high school student Sougo Tokiwa is a sweet kid, even if a little odd at times and with a bit of an ego. Finding out what happened in between and stopping it is what Zi-O's main storyline is about.

The Percy Jackson and the Olympians short story "The Diary of Luke Castellan" shows this off with the titular Luke, a villain-turned-hero who used to be a very sweet kid. Or, as in this chapter of history, a sweet teenager. He's brave, protective, and caring towards his little adopted family, to the point that he closely resembles the later hero of the series, Percy.

Superman: Subverted in How Luthor Met Superboy. Lex Luthor used to be a friendly, extremely intelligent kid until he -unfairly- blamed Superboy for a lab accident and started hating him. Nonetheless, before the accident, Lex was already showing subtle hints of the kind of hubris, jealousy, and hair-trigger temper that led him to become a villain.

Red vs. Blue: When we are first introduced to Agent Washington, he is portrayed as being strict, cold, and somewhat ruthless towards those around him while keeping up a professional and stoic demeanor. It is revealed that his behavior was the result of an incident he had with his A.I., Epsilon, who went insane and committed suicide while in his head. The Freelancer Trilogy furthers how much the Epsilon Incident changed Washington by showing how he was practically the youngest, most naive of the freelancers before being implanted with Epsilon. His time with the Reds and Blues has softened him up again, though.

However, after being left in the wild with a pack of wild indokuros he starts behaving more like his kind, becoming aggressive, standoffish, and predatory to the point of nearly biting Purple when he tries to touch him while feeding.

Brave: When Merida was younger, she was a very small, cute child and had a close relationship with both her mother and her father. As she has grown up, Merida is still very energetic and free-spirited, but has a more strained relationship with her mother (though she still holds the same good relationship with her father) and is more rebellious.

He was also a Friend to All Living Things and was sickened when he was first made to dissect something. Then he learned that the cave creatures he had befriended killed and ate his Eternal friends, causing him to be blamed for it. There was also that little matter of the crush he had on a vicious friend ( Death) who manipulated him into doing things that led him to become evil.

A Song of Ice and Fire contains several examples:
The Stark children, before they were all broken and put on their Jade-Colored Glasses. An example that is easily missed are Catelyn Stark's memories of Petyr Baelish as a mischievous, bold, and sweet-natured little boy, who believed in all the songs and started out as idealistic as Sansa.
From the backstory, Aerys Targaryen aka the Mad King believe it or not. It was said that he was a nice young man with a very promising future as king. But then the Defiance in Duskendale happened where he was taken hostage by some rebellious lords refusing to pay taxes and his time in captivity broke him. As soon as he was released, he went on a killing rampage murdering all those responsible and slowly degenerating into The Caligula. At the end of his life, he was so universally reviled that by the time the series takes place, referring to someone as Aerys is analogous to comparing others to Hitler in our world.
Aerys' son Viserys was not always a self-absorbed megalomaniac as he is today. Daenerys has fond memories of her brother as a child and readily credits him for bringing her up and protecting her as best as he could after the fall of House Targaryen. But the pressure of being the teenage heir of a deposed dynasty, who had no prestige beyond their family name, was just too much, causing him to slowly descend into insanity. The final straw was when Viserys had to sell their mother's crown to keep them fed, which, according to Daenerys, destroyed any semblance of kindness her brother had.
Downplayed with Tywin Lannister. He wasn't exactly nice back then, but according to his brother, he was much better as a person while his wife was around, since she was one of the few people that could make him smile or laugh. After her death, he became an even colder and harder man that blamed his son Tyrion for causing her death and hated him so much that he ordered the gangrape of Tyrion's first wife.

Godzilla Junior is a subversion. On the one hand, he did start out as a bubbly, friendly and docile baby mutated Godzillasaurus. On the other hand, while he's not downright malevolent as a teenager, he is still a Godzilla and will utterly thrash you if you dare harm humanity. (Too bad that didn't work too well against Destoroyah.) Godzilla: Final Wars even originally was going to show (and the final cut even heavily implies) that incarnation of Godzilla is Junior. While still not a villain, this incarnation is definitely playing at Good Is Not Soft at absolute best.

That is, until their owner Daisy accidentally forgot about them while on a picnic. After a grueling journey, Lotso returns with Chuckles and Big Baby to see Daisy with another Lotso-Hugging Bear and becomes cold and bitter, convincing the others that Daisy never loved them.

The main character Jae Hyuk of the manhwa Immortal Regis started out as a sweet Ordinary High-School Student devoted to caring for his Delicate and Sickly little brother. Then both of them got dragged into another dimension full of swords and sorcery and monsters. Jae Hyuk is forced into the role of The Hero while his little brother eventually becomes the host of the Big Bad. Over the course of the series, Jae Hyuk becomes more and more jaded and bitter about having his old life ripped away from him (being turned into an undead abomination didn't help either). In the sequel series Cavalier of the Abyss which takes place years later, Jae Hyuk has become the new king of the other world. The first thing we see him do is ruthlessly order The Purge of a village of suspected rebels — men, women, and children alike are all put to the sword. He also chops off the arm of a soldier who questioned his orders. He's not so sweet anymore.

Fate/Grand Order shows that likewise, Medea was a cheerful girl with a specialization in healing magecraft. After being Mind Raped into loving Jason (and being treated like garbage by him, culminating in an attempt to abandon her and their children), she became the bitter Witch of Betrayal summoned as the Fifth Holy Grail War's Caster. When Atalante, Medea's caretaker in her childhood, finds out about this after she gets summoned, Atalante laughs so hard, she faints from the agony.

Courage the Cowardly Dog: Inverted. The old, but sweet and kind Muriel was shown in the episode "Little Muriel" to have been an obnoxious brat as a child. Played straight with her husband Eustace, who is implied to have been a good child up until the treatment he received from his mother and brother, thus turning him into the Grumpy Old Man he is in the show.

Game of Thrones:
According to Cersei in "Mhysa", Joffrey was a very happy baby when he was around her and showed no signs of his later sociopathic behavior until much later... but either she's leaving out the part in the books where he cut open a pregnant cat as a child or the incident was Adapted Out.
All audiences get to see is his worst side, but it's implied that Viserys had been a reasonably nice guy at one point before the hardship of his own and his sister's life broke him. In the books, Daenerys specifically points to the moment that Viserys was forced to part with their dead mother's crown for money to survive as the point where Viserys started to snap. This is in parallel to their father, who is known as the "Mad King" but was also reasonably sane as a younger man, up until an incident where he was betrayed and held hostage by one of his own vassals and locked in a tower for half a year.

Red Skull from the infamous Captain America (1990) movie. Before the Super-Soldier experiment — nice kid playing on piano. After the experiment — crazy nazi with Super-Strength who wants to rule the world. How much this applies in this case is debatable. The experiment used on him is supposed to magnify the subject's personality, which would indicate that he was already evil, he just had it dialed Up to Eleven.

All the Kiryuin children in Natural Selection used to be a loving trio of siblings who looked out for each other and were all relatively kindhearted to varying degrees. Over time, Ragyo's abuse, manipulation, favoritism, and all-around cruel parenting broke each of them.
Satsuki used to be the loving elder sister to Ryuko and Nui. However, her human nature and lack of Life Fiber biology led to her getting Ragyo's abuse at its worst, either being beaten or flat-out molested if she ever talked back. She eventually fled into exile after Honnouji's founding and would become an overly stoic, cold revolutionary who borders on suicidal in her efforts to defeat her mother, no longer capable of feeling happiness.
Ryuko used to be a loving, if bratty, middle child who cherished her older sister. Her being Ragyo's favorite due to being the perfect hybrid of human and Life Fiber, she was subjected to the most manipulation, and Satsuki's later abandonment was the straw that broke the camel's back, causing her to become a genocidal tyrant who thrives on mass-killings and wants to tear her sister apart.
Nui, while already a Creepy Child at a young age, did love both of her sisters with all her heart, could be persuaded from her darker impulses with a bowl of ice cream, and just wanted to play with her arts and crafts. She grew up conditioned to be the Grand Courturier of REVOCS and expert torturer by Ragyo. By the time the present-day story starts, she's Nui as she was in the main series.

Spider-Man:
Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin, much like his Arch-Enemy Peter Parker, was once a shy little bookworm; horrific abuse from his father Amberson, such as locking him up in the dark, caused little Norman to embrace the darkness and imagined terrors (like say a cackling Goblin) and helped turn Norman into power-crazed, misogynistic, sadistic Neo-Nazi and Card-Carrying Villain he is today.
Similarly Harry, Norman’s son, was a sweet kid once upon a time. The death of his mother and emotional abuse from Norman who considered him a disappointing weakling shaped Harry into the troubled and drug-addicted young man who eventually became a Fallen Hero despite the best efforts of his best friend Peter.
Surprisingly enough, the Venom symbiote. The reason it got imprisoned in the first place was that it was too nice for its species, and when Peter freed it, it was perfectly happy to be a superhero with him as his extra-super costume. It only became bloodthirsty and crazed after Peter rejected it and it bonded with Eddie Brock, whose pre-existing instability corrupted the symbiote. After the symbiote was purified and Eddie experienced Sanity Strengthening, Venom decided to return to being a superhero. And even from the start, Venom's sympathetic traits resulted in the creation of Carnage to be a completely villainous substitute.
Zigzagged with Cletus Kasady aka Carnage who like the Joker might Depending on the Writer have been a sweet kid once who was abused by his deranged grandmother and turned into a sociopathic dog-killing child by the time he was found by his foster parents. Or according to other comics, Kasady was an Enfant Terrible from the moment he was born. Since Carnage is an Unreliable Narrator concerning his past, we’ll never know for sure.

The Incredible Hulk: Bruce Banner was once an adorably sweet little boy who was a tiny genius by the time he could walk and was adored and coddled by his mother Rebecca. Sadly his father Brian (through Psychological Projection) thought Bruce was a monster, and furious that his son had taken all of Rebecca’s love, violently abused poor little Bruce constantly, culminating in Brian murdering Rebecca in front of Bruce after they attempted to escape his abuse. All this emotional turmoil shaped Bruce into a deeply broken introverted man, whose inner fragmented psyche took the shape of a green rage monster thanks to some gamma rays.
The Hulk's Evil Counterpart the Abomination didn't have it much better. As a child living in Soviet Russia, Emil Blonsky loved his grandmother who told him stories, and wanted to be an author someday. Then his grandma was taken away and institutionalized, and Emil grew up to be a jaded, self-loathing man who instead joined the KGB. He fell in love and married an actress named Nadia Dornova, but had to leave her on a fateful mission to a U.S. military base. There he was exposed to Gamma radiation, which combined with his own inner demons transformed him into the Abomination, a bloodthirsty reptilian version of Hulk with nothing in his life but raging hatred of Bruce Banner.

Sleepers: While mischievous and nonchalant about getting money by doing jobs for mob leader King Benny, the four sleepers were good, cheerful boys. Shakes and John, in particular, were the kindest of them all and wanted to be priests in a neighborhood where the only career option was being a criminal. After their time in the youth detention center, John and Tommy turned into violent, addicted-to-drugs killers, while Michael and Shakes lost their faith in the legal system and police officers. Hence, the foursome's ability to take revenge via illegal means, namely corruption and outright murder.

Super Sentai:
Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: Stinger/Sasori Orange is introduced as a jaded and withdrawn person, who only works with the team out of necessity. The feelings are mostly mutual but then they start finding out bits about his past. He was raised by his kind older brother, who protected him from the older tribesmen bullying him. Stinger had to watch as his Blood Knight tendencies slowly eclipsed his good nature and as if that was not enough, Scorpio later joined Jark Matter and led the assault on his former tribe, killing everyone else but Stinger. Needless to say, Stinger is very messed up person.
Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger: Rcules is a selfish, cynical despot who cares nothing for his people and only wants more power in the present day, but flashbacks to when he was younger show that he once was an idealist who dreamed of becoming The Good King. What caused him to undergo such a change in personality isn't revealed until near the end of the show. It turns out that Rcules was Good All Along and had to pretend to be evil in order to get an opportunity kill the true Big Bad.

Archer from Fate/stay night, though in a subversion he's just as broken inside now as he was when he was younger — he's just grown more outwardly cynical and self-aware towards his inner failings. Fate/hollow ataraxia shows this to be the case with Gilgamesh, and Fate/Zero with Kiritsugu as well.
Fate/Grand Order shows that likewise, Medea was a cheerful girl with a specialization in healing magecraft. After being Mind Raped into loving Jason (and being treated like garbage by him, culminating in an attempt to abandon her and their children), she became the bitter Witch of Betrayal summoned as the Fifth Holy Grail War's Caster. When Atalante, Medea's caretaker in her childhood, finds out about this after she gets summoned, Atalante laughs so hard, she faints from the agony.

House of the Dragon:
The first few episodes where Alicent Hightower is still a teen explicitly show her this way. Which only serves to make her journey from a devoted and innocent girl to a cold queen who's resentful, vengeful, and envious of her old childhood friend (due to both Otto and Larys Strong's manipulations and her own fear for the safety of her children) even more tragic.
When Aegon first appears, he's a two-year-old toddler and appears to be a normal and happy child. It's unknown what he was like as a small child, but when he reappears as a teenager he's grown into a lazy Big Brother Bully who only wants to drink and leer at girls, and finally as an adult, he's a hedonistic, selfish wreck of a man who only wants to sleep with women (whether they agree or not) and drink and does not want to be king because he knows he has neither the skill nor temperament to make a good one.

In Shazam, Thaddeus Sivana used to be a polite, sensitive boy before his rejection by Shazam and the car accident turned him into a villainous Mad Scientist.

Doctor Who: The Master was apparently a sweet kid until he looked into the Vortex at age 8, and heard the drums. Then he slowly went batshit insane.
Invoked by name in "The Rebel Flesh"/"The Almost People", except with reference to the sweet kid's artificial duplicate.
The Twelfth Doctor discovers that this is the case for Davros; the Mad Scientist who would go on to create The Daleks and tried to blow up all of reality. Turns out they started out as an innocent child caught up in a century-spanning hellish war that ultimately twisted them (The Big Finish canon version was always a sociopath however).

While 1993 Ted is still as foul-mouthed and perverted as he is in the films, he's more full of optimism and joy at what life and the future will bring compared to his jaded attitude in adulthood.
The same goes for John, who's far more active and engaged in his family's lives compared to his adult self, who is consistently called out for being a Manchild.

Taz was shown to be an adorably innocent little child, who was very sensitive and prone to crying a lot after his feelings were hurt. A far cry from the Ax-Crazy Extreme Omnivore seen in the classic cartoons.
Marvin the Martian was an antisocial Shrinking Violet who just wanted friends before becoming an Omnicidal Maniac trying to blow up the Earth.

Happens frequently in Survival of the Fittest if you read pre-game. Many characters come off as likable, friendly people, only to be broken once the game starts, in a good portion of cases turning Ax-Crazy. As a result, you will be seeing this trope a lot, especially if the character shows up in pre-game frequently or there are any flashbacks involving the character.

The Silver Raven (Devil May Cry & The Owl House): Downplayed. Growing up, Nero was an adorable, exuberant Cheerful Child. As he grew into his teenage years, while he remained a fundamentally good person at his core, he lost his cheerfulness and became an aloof, vulgar-tongued Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Resurrected Memories: The original Amberline Mclain was implied to have been a very shy, but still decent person, who truly loved her little sister and just wanted friends and a chance to achieve her dream, but severe bullying at school, being raised by neglecting and controlling parents and being stood up by her crush, topped off by dying young had jaded and embittered the girl into becoming the vengeful Ember McLain.

Invader Zim: A Bad Thing Never Ends: According to Skoodge, while Zim's more or less always had the same personality, when he was younger he was more affectionate towards his friends and only expressed his more aggressive attitude towards those who messed with them. It was only after enduring years of torment from his supposed friends Red and Purple that something finally happened to cause that better part of him to die and leave only the Zim we know now.

Warrior Cats: Tigerstar, big bad of the entire series, is seen in the prequel Bluestar's Prophecy as a sweet, innocent, adorable kit who loves his mother and grows into a well-meaning but aggressive apprentice thanks to his Ax-Crazy mentor. Same with Scourge, who in his backstory was an inquisitive, cute little kitten who had bad things happen to him, turning him into a crazy killer.
Same for Brokenstar/kit; "Look! I'm a tree!"
Also for Hawkfrost, shown in the Tigerstar and Sasha arc as a cute kit who loves his littermates, and is broken-hearted when his brother Tadpole drowns.
Thistleclaw even qualifies, once promising his nursery denmates "I'll make sure the wind doesn't blow you away."
Almost any antagonist who makes an appearance as a kit or apprentice qualifies, because, well, they’re kittens. Other notable examples include Ashfur and Blackstar.

The Legend of Korra:
Noatak who eventually adopted the name Amon was described as being a kind boy who always strove to help and be fair to everyone. It didn't last... Or rather, it did, but in the darkest way possible.
Noatak's younger brother, Tarrlok, was a very sweet and timid boy. his adult version...Not so much.
Season 4 gives us an older example in Kuvira. In Season 3, she was a kind and caring person who rescued Korra's father from certain death and was devoted to Suyin. Suyin even claimed she was like a daughter to her. But the fateful fallout with her over how to save the Earth Kingdom and the subsequent 3 years would turn her into a cold, power-hungry tyrant.

Once Upon a Time Both Rumplestiltskin and Regina. Rumplestiltskin was a coward but loved his son deeply. His efforts to protect his son were what turned him into a monster.
It's taken even further with Regina. She was a genuinely good person who loved a stable boy. Her first interaction with Snow White is actually saving her, and she is later the one to tell her that "true love is the most powerful magic of all''. Then her mother murders that man she loves, an attempt to bring him back fails (other characters deliberately sabotaged it to drive her over the edge), and decides revenge is all she has left.
It's turned back on Regina with Greg Mendell/Owen Flynn - being confronted with the fact that it's entirely due to her actions that he turned from a sweet and happy child into a magic-hating torturer drives her to an attempt at Redemption Equals Death to stop his plan.
Inverted with Queen Eva, Snow's mother. She used to be a spoiled brat who spitefully tripped Cora. But by the time she married and had Snow, she became a much kinder person and quick to lecture Snow's own bratty behaviour.
Killian Jones was a good-hearted man who loved his brother and was a lieutenant of the navy and even criticized a fellow soldier for sneaking alcohol into the ship. It was his ill-fated trip to Neverland, which led to his brother getting killed by poison, and his guilt and anger at the king who sent them there to retrieve the poison to use as a weapon, that drove Killian to become a selfish, hedonistic pirate who would later be known as Captain Hook.

Ace Attorney: 9-year-old Miles Edgeworth◊ was idealistic and adorable to the max. Then, his father was murdered. Before his eyes. And thinking he killed his father by accident when trying to stop a security guard fearing oxygen loss by throwing a gun at him. Edgeworth was embedded with a severe phobia of elevators and earthquakes, and a hatred for criminals, defense attorneys, and himself after this. Even after his eventual Heel–Face Turn, he still has trouble relearning the social skills he lost due to this trauma and always comes across as blunt, insensitive and cold to others◊.

What caused him to undergo such a change in personality isn't revealed until near the end of the show. It turns out that Rcules was Good All Along and had to pretend to be evil in order to get an opportunity kill the true Big Bad.

The feelings are mostly mutual but then they start finding out bits about his past. He was raised by his kind older brother, who protected him from the older tribesmen bullying him. Stinger had to watch as his Blood Knight tendencies slowly eclipsed his good nature and as if that was not enough, Scorpio later joined Jark Matter and led the assault on his former tribe, killing everyone else but Stinger. Needless to say, Stinger is very messed up person.

Hey Arnold!: "Helga on the Couch" shows us in a flashback that Helga G. Pataki was a normal girl who was so neglected and ignored by her parents that she had to walk to preschool by herself, getting splashed with mud and having her lunch stolen by a dog. She then meets Arnold, probably the first person to ever show her genuine affection, and immediately falls for him. After Harold steals her graham crackers and the other kids start laughing at her, she starts bullying them in order to get respect.

Fantastic Four: Victor von Doom aka Doctor Doom in a textbook case of From Nobody to Nightmare once was a kindly gypsy boy from Latveria whose mother was taken by Mephisto and whose father froze to death sheltering his son while fleeing a vengeful baron. Growing up without his parents Victor found love in a beautiful girl known as Valeria, but desiring to make a name for himself and angry about his father's death he studied both science and sorcery and became an infamous swindler, which drove Valeria away from him. When the opportunity to escape from his country and study at State University was offered, Victor took it and found himself the dorm mate of one Reed Richards. Already embittered from his troubled childhood in Latveria, Victor spited his peers, especially Reed, and almost strangled a girl at a party, and failed to heed Reed’s advice while building a device (which Victor hoped would help him communicate with his mother in Hell). The device literally blew up in Victor’s face. Stricken with damaged pride, Victor jumped off the slippery slope and became the Evil Overlord A God Am I supervillain he is today.

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant:
The long-awaited giant children are this, until they get possessed and Ax-Crazy.
Also, from the new chronicles, Roger Covenant. Probably.

The Salamanca twins from Breaking Bad were seen in a flashback to be normal, energetic kids who cared for each other. They grew up to be emotionless killing machines for the cartel.

Tragedy Girls completely averts it with our two Villain Protagonists. Despite having loving parents and stable, happy upbringings, they've always been psychopaths.

Buffyverse: In The Gatekeeper Trilogy, genocidal Evil Sorcerer Giacomo Fulcanelli was a shy and kind child until his mother was burned as a witch while their whole village applauded. He was taken in by a sorcerer, who was secretly his biological father, and helped him get revenge. However, the sorcerer also physically abused Giacomo, denied him any affection, inspired him to be cruel and satanic, and smugly revealed that he was the one who sold out Giacomo's mother to the inquisition before setting his son on fire to make him unleash his full powers and cruelty. Fulcanelli grows up to gleefully do things far, far worse than what his father did, but there is a definite sense that he had a chance to be something else, only to be cruelly robbed of that chance.

Yu-Gi-Oh!'s monsters tend to have their own stories. In the case of the charmer monsters, Eria is hinted to grow up into Gishiki Ariel. It is unknown whether or not this was of her own free will or if she was brainwashed like other Gishiki monsters. However, she went from a sweet little girl into a ruthless warlord.
Her friend Gagagigo started his career as the little and cute Gigobyte and fights along with Eria. As the grown-up Gagagigo he eventually left her and someday he fought Freed the Brave Wanderer, ended up being trapped in another dimension. He met Marauding Captain and fought against Inpachi, who later appeared again as Blazing Inpachi; the Marauding Captain took the bullet, which inspired Gagagigo to do the same for one of the Captain's men during the war against Invader of Darkness. Later, in the hope of defeating Invader of Darkness, he asked the Mad Scientist Kozaky to make him stronger who rebuilds his body to the corrupted Giga Gagagigo. When he fought against Freed the Brave Wanderer again in his native dimension, he got his own attack reflected and lost. Obsessed with gaining strength to defeat his rivals, he continued his rampage and eventually transformed into Gogiga Gagagigo and truly lost his soul.
The following story (which is "written" many years after his transformation) inverts his dark development as he fought Freed the Brave Wanderer again, finally overpowering him, but Marauding Captain appeared and protected him before Gogiga Gagagigo gave him the finishing blow. Instead of following his corrupted instincts, Gogigo Gagagigo understands Marauding Captain's actions and forsakes his quest for power. Thus, he finally becomes the strong warrior of justice he once sought out to be, Gagagigo the Risen.

Akane Kurashiki, aka June in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. She used to be a sweet girl, but the trauma of the first Nonary Game turned her into a person willing to do anything for the sake of ensuring her survival and later, saving the world - whether that means sacrificing her life (for the latter) or someone else's. In Virtue's Last Reward her childhood friend Junpei Tenmyouji remarks at the end that the Akane he knew is gone.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye:
It's revealed that Megatron was originally someone who wrote poetry and abhorred violence. That all changed the day he was caught in a bar brawl and got incarcerated, then was badly beaten by Whirl, causing him to embrace violence as a means of changing the system and leading to the entire Cybertonian Civil War.
Whirl himself was originally a watchmaker until he was captured by the Senate, who had tried to recruit him based on his combat abilities. They tortured him by subjecting him to Empurata, a form of punishment that removed his entire face to be replaced with an expressionless single mechanical eye and replaced his hands with pincers so he could never perform the delicate task of watchmaking again. This led to him becoming the Heroic Comedic Sociopath he is in the present time.

Harry Enfield and Chums's Kevin was a well-behaved, if hyperactive, boy until he turned thirteen, at which point his hormones kicked in and turned him into the teenage horror we all know and love.

In Kamen Rider Double's movie, Big Bad Katsumi Daido/Kamen Rider Eternal is described this way by his mother. He's an unusual case since he died and was brought back to life by Mom's research, which may have had some effect. However, as the Eternal Returns prequel movie shows, the complete flip to evil happened when he and his fellow undead mercenaries tried to save Foundation X's psychic test subjects and failed after the Hope Spot.

Stepping on the Cracks: Donald and Gordy Smith have grown up to be trouble-making, mean-spirited bullies (although both have some Hidden Depths). However, Margaret's mother recalls how Donald would play with her son and his friends when they were all younger, and that Gordy would watch from the wagon that Donald and their brother Stuart loved to carry him around town in.

Luo Binghe from The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System started out an idealistic All-Loving Hero who remained optimistic and kind-hearted in spite of the constant hardships he suffered through and had an adorable crush on his beloved teacher Shen Qingqiu, until a sudden and heartbreaking betrayal by Shen Qingqiu and three years of being trapped in the demon-filled Abyss hardened him into an angry, bitter man willing to resort to coercion and kidnapping to claim Shen Qingqiu for himself. The real kicker is that this is actually an improvement over Binghe's fate in the original webnovel Shen Yuan read before he got transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu's body; the original Qingqiu never showed a scrap of kindness to Binghe before he betrayed him, causing the original Binghe to become even more cruel and cold-hearted without his love for Qingqiu to ultimately bring him back to sanity.
