The Righteous Bully aka The Thanos
Thanos, also known as "The Righteous Bully," is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. He was created by writer-artist Jim Starlin and made his first appearance in "Iron Man" #55 in 1973.
Thanos is a supervillain and one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe. He is obsessed with the concept of balance and believes that the universe is overpopulated. In his quest to bring balance, Thanos seeks to obtain all six Infinity Stones, which grant him immense power and control over reality, time, space, mind, soul, and power.
With his iconic Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos has the ability to wipe out half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. This event, known as "The Snap," has had a profound impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as seen in the movies "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame."
Thanos is a complex character who believes that he is doing the right thing, even if it means sacrificing countless lives. He is driven by his twisted sense of righteousness and his desire to bring order to the universe, regardless of the cost.
Despite his villainous nature, Thanos has become one of the most iconic and captivating characters in popular culture. His presence and actions have had a lasting impact on the Marvel universe and have made him a formidable adversary for Earth's mightiest heroes.
In The Avengers, Thanos is considered an almost anti-hero. He believes that he is completely vindicated and actually saving the lesser fools who cannot see that overpopulation is a significant problem. The lesser people's issue with dusting half of the population of the universe is like the small buzzing of flies to a God.

Stages:
Stage 0: Origin Villain
A caretaker who staunchly supports an ideology, church, cult etc and will condemn those around them to either comply or be ostracized.
A caretaker or role model who claims that those who believe their way of being will be protected and safe while others will not, but will enact making others not safe in the same breath.
Stage 1: Internalization
Negation Examples: “The world is evil” “The world is sinful” “I am sinful, evil, bad”
Oftentimes we experience the internalization of this villain as the experience of deep self-hatred.
Stage 2: Diversification
Rescuer Villain
If they are able to find a cause or ideology that makes them less sinful or wasteful, they will expound that ideology to everyone around them as if it were the only way to be.
Will often tell others of their ideology and why it is the way to be saved from difficulty/challenges/life.
Stage 3: Externalization
They will oftentime go to great lengths to rescue to the point of dramatically changing the lives of everyone around them and insist it was the only right thing to do.
Savior complex or God Complex, they feel they have the ability to change the course of others lives.
There is also an antithesis of this outward expression which is the belief that we live in a cruel universe and they God is picking on us. In this case it is manifesting more extremely as a Victim Villain.

Lundy’s Description 9. The Terrorist
The name says it all. Suffocatingly controlling and extremely demanding. Enjoys intimidation and taking your agency away.
This man is likely a child abuse victim. But, even if so, it is not your responsibility to fix or heal him. He might use your hopes of changing him to make you stay with him.
Tries to make you so afraid that you'll never think of leaving him or even slighting him. The trauma suffered under this sort of relationship can be incredibly severe and may even make it much harder to think of escaping it.
