This category refers to morally-dubious characters whose main enemies are themselves villains. Many extremely dark works, such as Warhammer 40,000, base their main conflicts around this principle, and nearly all Protagonists are portrayed mainly fighting individuals who are either similar to or clearly even worse than they are. Not every villain who has ever fought another villain should go here. Villains only belong if this applies to most or all of their activities and is a significant aspect of their character and if they are seen as "Heroes" in their setting due to the extreme levels of wickedness committed by their enemies. Some of these villains are also known as "Enemy of a Villain".
Good examples of this include Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, Vegeta and Frieza, Slade and Trigon, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, Mr. Krabs and Plankton (more specifically after the first movie), Kratos and Zeus, Megatron and Starscream, Fliqpy and Tiger General, Ryuga and Rago, Wario and Bowser, Kazuya Mishima and Heihachi Mishima, The Joining and Joker, Penguin, Bane and Mr. Freeze, Megamind and Tighten, Risky Boots and Pirate Master, Dan and Travis Touchdown, Kash D. Langford and Daniel Kon, Team Aqua and Team Magma, Walter White and Gus Fring. Void 4 is an example, since he is a noble demon bent on destroying Black Hole and tyrants. Maleficient, Queen Ingrith and King Stefan fit this trope for most of Maleficent (and its sequel), as all three are villains who are fighting against each other. Alejandro and Heather from the Total Drama franchise also fall under this category, as they both have a rivalry during their time in the competition. For the third season of 13 Reasons Why, Bryce Walker, Monty de la Cruz, Zach Dempsey, Marcus Cole, Clay Jensen, Justin Foley, and The Bakers Dozen at Liberty High School are all examples of this.
NOTE: Sometimes after an Evil Vs. Evil battle has ended and a less evil villain defeated the true evildoer, the less evil villain might possibly reform and become a hero or maybe an anti-villain if they wish. Although, there are cases of Pure Evil villains who can viciously dispose another villain who is not Pure Evil (if able), and in much rarer cases, a Pure Evil villain will take on against another Pure Evil villain so this category counts as such. Examples of a Pure Evil villain taking on against another Pure Evil villain are Yami Marik vs. Yami Bakura, Slade vs. Trigon, Alpha vs. Vangus and Baron Praxis vs. Metal Kor.
