Destroying the Innocent

Destroying the Innocent is an event where a villain destroys a character's "innocence." These villains are usually known as Destroyer of Innocence. A villain becomes a "Destroyer of Innocence" when they harm, injure or even kill a friendly, defenseless or an innocent character.

Like Moral Event Horizon, acts of destroying the innocence can also insults/disgusted other villain that witnesses this event as well.

A destroyer of innocence often do not have qualities of redemption due to the fact that they are not above in destroying innocence of some innocent person. Some villains who created this kind of catastrophic event in their own universe are often Complete Monsters, but not all of them are necessarily Complete Monsters, unless if they have reached a new heinous standard in their universe.
