“ | It's a shame, I want to see how much suffering I could put you through before you die. Alas, humans are such pitiful creatures, you only have one life span, your quick death won't do for my research! Eh, might as well make it as slow and painful as possible before the light goes out. | „ |
~ Depravitas torturing a prisoner, dubbing it "experimentation". |
“ | Whether you die tomorrow or live to see the bitter end... I don't care anymore! I just want you to keep feeling like an utterly useless little crab you are! Your despair will never end! | „ |
~ Protobot (as Monobert) gloating to Klutzy that his despair will continue as the killing game goes on. |
“ | ♫ Oh look at them run! Feed on the screams 'til the concert is done. And oh, what a release! When their denied the lie that is peace! Oh, all you defend, a broken husk just awaiting the end! And oh, you choose to stand, I choose to fire the gun in my hand! ♫ | „ |
~ Omega displaying signs of sadism during his song. |
Sadists are people who feel joy at seeing their victims suffer, either physically or mentally. This kind of cruelty is also known as "Schadenfreude" (from Schaden = "injury"; Freude = "Joy"), though that term generally refers to cases where the sadist derives pleasure from pain inflicted by something other than themselves.
These villains can be Delusional, for example, if they convince themselves that their enemies must suffer and take enjoyment in doing so.
While it's common for many Complete Monster and Hate Sink villains to be sadists, it is not always the case. It is not a requirement for a villain to take pleasure in the pain and misery of others to be Complete Monster. Sadism is an important factor to consider, but it is not a mandatory criteria. If anything, it can make their actions scarier because they have nothing pleasant to gain from them.
Being a Sadist does not always mean that the character is Chaotic Evil.
It is the opposite of merciful heroes.
