Tragic

“	Carrie had some sort of power, but she was just like me. Like any of you. She had hopes and she had fears, and we pushed her. And you can only push someone so far... before they break.	„
	~ Sue Snell giving a testimony of how Carrie White was bullied into madness.

“	You know, you used to tell me that my laugh was a condition, that there's something wrong with me. There isn't. That's the real me. "Happy". Funny. I haven't been happy for one minute of my entire f-cking life. You know what's funny? You know what really makes me laugh? I used to think that my life was a tragedy. But now, I realize, it's a f-cking comedy.	„
	~ Arthur Fleck on his tragic past which shaped him into the Joker.

Inconsistently Heinous villains who are confirmed to have had traumatic and/or sympathetic backstories that caused them to become evil in the first place and motivated their actions throughout the media they appear in.

These villains usually fall under Debased as they do not start off or want to be evil. But exceptions exist if they completely redeem themselves.

NOTE: This category only applies to those villains whose sympathetic backstory still hold up. For villains whose tragedies don't hold up, visit Fake Tragic instead.

Their Inconsistently Admirable counterparts are here.
