These are real-life villains who initially started off as good people, but for one reason or another turned to evil or ~~morally~~-~~grey acts~~.

These are real-life villains who initially started off as good people, but for one reason or another turned to evil acts. This is usually the end result of being betrayed, [[:Category:Vengeful|vengeful]], [[:Category:Tragic|tragic]], exposed to [[:Category:Corrupting Influence|corrupting influences]], [[:Category:Brainwashers|brainwashers]], [[:Category:Extortionists|extortionists]] and/or [[:Category:Blackmailers|blackmailers]]. Some former heroes may also become villains due to greed or cowardice.

Some can still redeem themselves, if they realize how evil they were (e.g. [[Malcolm X]]).

Please note that in order to qualify, a person must have been a genuine hero before turning evil:

*'''Normal people''', i.e. average joes, do not count. They should go under [[:Category:From Nobody to Nightmare|From Nobody to Nightmare]] instead.

*'''False heroes''', if they never were good, they do not count either. They should go under [[:Category:Faux Affably Evil|Faux Affably Evil]], [[:Category:Liars|Liars]], [[:Category:Cheater|Cheater]], [[:Category:Tricksters|Tricksters]], [[:Category:Hypocrites|Hypocrites]], [[:Category:Delusional|Delusional]], [[:Category:Traitor|Traitor]], [[:Category:Master Manipulator|Master Manipulator]] and/or [[:Category:Con Artists|Con Artists]] instead.

*'''Normal law enforcement, military, fire department, guards, paramedics, agents, wardens, etc.''' who became evil do not count (e.g. [[Adolf Eichmann]], [[Che Guevara]], [[Stacey Koon]] and [[Derek Chauvin]]). They should go under [[:Category:Corrupt Officials|Corrupt Officials]], [[:Category:Military|Military]] and/or [[:Category:Jingoists|Jingoists]] instead, unless they are reported to have done something truly heroic (e.g. [[Benedict Arnold]], [[Andrew Jackson]], [[William Tecumseh Sherman]], [[George Armstrong Custer]] and [[J. Edgar Hoover]]).

*'''Normal businesspeople, CEOs, managers, workers, doctors, scientists, teachers, mayors, politicians, principals, etc.''' who became evil do not count (e.g. [[Donald Trump]], [[Jeffrey Epstein]], [[Martin Shkreli]], [[Hans Asperger]] and [[Bruce Jeffrey Pardo]]). They should go under [[:Category:Corrupt Officials|Corrupt Officials]], [[:Category:Doctors and Scientists|Doctors and Scientists]] and/or [[:Category:Business Leaders|Business Leaders]] instead, unless they are reported to have done something truly heroic (e.g. [[Joseph McCarthy]], [[Richard Nixon]], [[Rudy Giuliani]] and [[Robert Kraft]]).

*'''Normal students''' who became evil do not count (e.g. [[Eric Harris]], [[Dylan Klebold]], [[Seung-Hui Cho]], [[Adam Lanza]], [[Nikolas Cruz]], [[Brock Turner]], [[Bailey O'Neill's Murderers]] and [[Timothy Crump]]). They should go under [[:Category:Young villains|Young villains]] instead, unless they are reported to have done something truly heroic.

*'''Anti-villains''', despite having noble goals, do not count if they were not heroes to begin with (e.g. [[2020 Floyd riots|Floyd rioters]]). They should go under [[:Category:Anti - Villain|Anti - Villain]] instead, unless they actually were/are heroes who turned to the dark side ([[Chiang Kai-shek]], [[Deng Xiaoping]] and [[Nat Turner]]).

*'''Nice people''', villains that were simply nice people before they became villains also do not count if they did nothing truly heroic before they actually became villains. They should go under [[:Category:Affably Evil|Affably Evil]] instead, if they still retain(ed) this quality.

*'''Celebrities''', or villains that simply had good reputation do not count (e.g. [[John Wilkes Booth]], [[O.J. Simpson]], [[Bill Cosby]], [[Mike Tyson]], [[Chris Benoit]], [[Kanye West]], [[R. Kelly]], [[Amber Heard]], [[Harvey Weinstein]] and [[Roman Polanski]]). They should go under [[:Category:Charismatic|Charismatic]], [[:Category:Athletic|Athletic]], [[:Category:Artistic|Artistic]] and/or [[:Category:Faux Affably Evil|Faux Affably Evil]]‏ instead, unless they actually were heroes before their fall to villainy.
