Pure Evils who are willing to hurt or kill their own family member/s (be them parents, siblings, spouses, step family members, in-laws, clones, as well as adopted family members, etc.). They are often considered among the cruelest of all Pure Evils given that even their own family members are expendable to them.

Examples of family cruelty are shown below:

Familicide: Villains who murder members of their family, e.g. commit matricide, patricide, filicide, mariticide, uxoricide, and so forth. Examples of characters who commit familicide include: Johan Liebert (who has all of his foster parents disposed of), Dio Brando (who kills his fathers), Jill Roberts (who killed her mom), Scar (who infamously kills his brother), Ego (who kills most of his children), Darkseid (who has murdered his mother, son, brother and father), Jerome Valeska (who killed both of his parents), Esther Coleman (who kills all of her adoptive family members), Bill Cipher (who killed both of his parents when destroying his dimension), Chara (who killed her adoptive mother).

Abuse: Villains who, through one means or another, are callous towards their family. Examples of abusive characters include: Johan Liebert (who attempts to corrupt, gaslights, and psychologically torments his sister nearly to the point of suicide), Isaiah Johnson (who repeatedly rapes his father for years), Gregor Clegane (who burns off half of his brother's face simply for playing with one of his toys), William Afton (who hits his daughter Elizabeth for trying to show him a drawing) and Ozai (who, for petty reasons, physically scars his son Zuko by burning half of his face off before banishing him and molds his daughter Azula into nothing more than his personal weapon, as such being responsible for her antisocial behavior).

This category also applies to PEs who are at least willing to hurt/kill their family member/s even if they haven't actually done so (e.g. Light Yagami, Sal and the King), as well as PEs who only abuse/kill ex-family members of theirs (e.g. Max Cady).

NOTE: It is not sufficient for a PE to simply disregard the death of a family member/s (e.g. Rose Armitage) or to dislike their family (e.g. Ethan Roark Jr., Hugo Martinez and Edwin Epps); they must be actively and severely cruel to said family member/s, be it through domestic abuse, rape, torture, murder, or the attempted act of any such crime.
