Category:Debased

Debased villains are those who start out with redeeming qualities but later subvert them. As Near Pure Evils either have very few redeeming qualities or none at all, those that initially possess a significant amount of redeeming qualities will always subvert at least most of them.

A subcategory of villains in this category are Wholly Debased villains, who ultimately manage to subvert all of their redeeming qualities.

Near Pure Evils with debatable subversions of redeeming qualities cannot fall under Debased if they have not subverted any other redeeming qualities, as the Debased category is only meant for villains who explicitly subvert redeeming qualities.

Also, please do not add Near Pure Evils here who have only faked redeeming qualities. Those villains should go under Charismatic, Faux Affably Evil, and/or Liars. This category is only for villains who once had genuine redeeming qualities but ended up subverting them.

Their opposites are reformed Near Pure Goods.
