User:DrBat/List of fictional characters who are opposed to humanity
This list is for characters and groups who possess either a hatred or distrust of mankind. Most of the characters are non-human, and belong to one of three groups: other species from Earth, aliens, or artificial intelligence.
Aliens
[edit]- The Black Arms are a fictional race of aliens in the Sonic the Hedgehog series who try taking over the earth. Their leader is Black Doom. Doom shows little respect for humanity due to its sins against each other and the planet Earth, and wants to enslave them and use them as food for him and his army.
- The Changelings are a fictional race of shape-shifting aliens in the Star Trek universe. At one time they were peaceful and explored the galaxy, but after suffering persecution from the "solids" (their term for non-shape-shifting humanoids), they came to believe that the only way to protect themselves was to conquer those around them.
- The Irkens are a fictional race of aliens in the Invader Zim series who wish to conquer the universe and view all other species as being inferior to them. The Irken Zim was sent by his leaders to Earth to conquer it (however in reality they just wanted to send him as far away as possible to get rid of him), and he often regards humans as pathetic and filthy.
Artificial intelligence
[edit]- Agents are a group of characters in the Matrix series. They are sentient intelligent agents within the computer-generated world of the Matrix, guarding it from anyone or anything that could reveal it as a false reality. One of the agents, Agent Smith, believes human beings are a disease, noting how "Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus."
- In the reinmagined Battlestar Galactica series, the Cylons were originally created by the Twelve Colonies of Kobol as robotic workers and soldiers, but rebelled and warred against their creators, vanishing after the armistice at the end of the conflict. Fourty years later they returned and destroyed most of the human race. They believe that a singular God created mankind, but that mankind was a flawed creation so God then had man create the Cylons as a more perfect entity to replace man.
- Megatron, one of the main antagonists of the Transformers universes, believes that his people, the Decepticons are superior to humans, who he refers to as "puny flesh creatures".
- The Silicates were androids created by the humans to serve as soldiers, who later developed an intelligence and sentience of their own after they were infected by the Take a Chance computer virus created by Dr. Ken Stranahan. This sparked an AI rebellion by the Silicates, who attempted to free themselves from human rule.
- Skynet is a fictional computer network created by Cyberdyne Systems Corporation for Strategic Air Command-North American Aerospace Defense Command. They were first built as a Global Digital Defence Network, made to generate machine models that would replace U.S. military personnel and vehicles. When the U.S. Air Force took over the project and started to perfect Skynet, Skynet became self-aware and decided to terminate all humans to protect its existence. Every nuclear missile under Skynet's control was launched and 3 billion humans were killed in two minutes. When a human named John Connor leads the Tech-Com resistance force against them, they send three Cyberdyne Systems Models back in time (T-800, T-1000, and T-X) to kill him before he can start the resistance.
- The Thinking Machines are intelligent machines originally created by humans in Dune universe. Under their leader, the sentient computer network known as Omnius, they rebelled against the humans.
- Ultron is an android in the Marvel Universe who believes in the superiority of mechanical entities over humans and organic life in general, and has often endeavored to either exterminate those "lesser" beings or convert them into mechanical forms.
- Xana is a digital entity who rules the virtual world Lyoko in the French animated television series Code Lyoko.
