Category:Homicidal

Villains who are willing to commit murder and have done so at least once, or attempted to do so; the act must be deliberate and not in self-defense or during war-time situations.

Be they mass murderers, serial killers, or thrill-killers, these characters all share one common trait: The willingness to kill in cold blood, making them very dangerous and cruel, even in a realm of criminals and wrong-doers.

This category also applies to villains who merely threaten to kill someone if that person does not carry out the wishes, but don't once that person complies.

Notable variations include:
 * Spree Killers: Homicidals who kill two or more victims in a short time in multiple locations for no apparent reason or pattern.
 * Omnicidals: Villains whose main goal is to eradicate life. Not content with simple genocide, the Omnicidal Maniac seeks to eradicate absolutely everyone in his or her world or universe. Although often the case, not all Omnicidal Maniacs are actually insane; some are simply malevolent beyond words or are a corrupt AI or similar entity. This type of villain is one of the extreme variants of Homicidal.
 * Attempted Murderers: Villains who have admitted to, or been charged with, the crime of attempted murder, but have never actually succeeded. They are just as dangerous as regular murderers, but the fact that they have never actually killed anyone may be a sign of incompetence. They may plan to kill someone and be thwarted, or go on homicidal rampages, and only injure people.
