The opposite of a Karma Houdini, a Scapegoat is a villain who is punished much more harshly than he/she would actually deserve. Good examples of scapegoats are:

  • political pawns, who are wrongfully blamed for a acts or laws passed (King George III of England was not responsible for the taxes on the colonies; Parliament was.) by his/her government.
  • villains who actually help others in some way or are well-intentioned, but are either misguided or people around them misinterpet their actions/plans as harmful.
  • villains who, while categorized as villains, do not do anything especially evil or monstrous but face a punishment that would be considered harsh by today's standards (Marie Antoinette neglected her subjects, but never outright oppressed or purposely tormented them).
