Villainous Benchmark Wiki
I'm going to enslave humanity and force them to service my machines. First Green Hills, then the universe, then the multiverse, then who knows? Maybe that'll be enough. Full disclosure: You won't be there.
~ Dr. Robotnik revealing his true plans of enslaving humanity in unknown details to Sonic.
Yes... and now you will listen! This world belongs to me and I refuse to share it with a inferior species!
~ Shin Godzilla being vague on his world domination plan.

Those who suffer from Fridge Horror aka Fridge Nightmare Fuel are Villainous Benchmarks who give little details about some or all of their crimes, and thus it's unknown how heinous they really are and horrifying theorists long after the fact the realize the implications.

Examples include:

  • Jafar: It is ambiguous how bad his rule would be due to it being too vague.
  • Drake: It is unclear if the penguin bones he had are from ones he killed or not.
  • Minoru Tanaka: It is ambiguous how many people died via his auctioned Death Note.
  • Shin Godzilla: He causes as a ton of destruction in Tokyo and Attack on Titan World while attempting world domination but due to no people in the background making his kill count unclear and his world domination is too vague as it is not stated if he means his world or the multiverse and how bad is his world rule would be if he wins.
  • Nadakhan: He banished his crew members to different realms, attacked Gayle Gossip's helicopter which caused her to fall down in the ocean and is stated that he killed pirates in the past, but these crime are too off-screen and is ambiguous if anyone died or if there were consequences.
  • The Once-Ler: He tore down the Truffla Forest and polluted the entire ecosystem which forced the animals out of the environment, but it is unknown if any deaths were caused.
  • Movie Robotnik: Too vague on his Multiversal Conquest.
  • Fake Di-Jun Wang: It's unknown just how bad Zheng Fa got under his rule. Plus, nothing implies that he had ties with Quercus Alba's smuggling ring, which caused an economic disaster to the nation.
  • Bon-Bon, Ballora, and Funtime Foxy: It’s unclear if the three of them wanted to assist Funtime Freddy in attempting a mass murder of innocent children out of pure sadism.

This would also apply to Villainous Benchmarks whose contextless actions rely on shock value, that cause trauma to viewers after watching and studying their events based on theories and speculation.

Their heroic counterparts include Fridge Brilliance.
