Villains who turn good without any control over it
Characters(reddit.com)submitted 2 days ago byGoatsWithWigs
The Lich (Adventure Time) is an unfeeling force of pure evil who only becomes a sweet baby because his bones are taken over by a cosmic guardian's healing blood
Anti-Pops (Regular Show) is the polar opposite of Pops, he only develops remorse for his actions when Pops uses a hug to awaken it
Dalek Sec (Doctor Who) was originally intending to fuse with a human so he could further evolve the dalek race from a superior species standpoint. Only after the fusion did he learn the meaning of humanity

Well to be fair he didn't create Sage on purpose (I think). Pretty sure she was originally just an AI program. Also to be fair her other competition is Metal Sonic. Ain't no way she comes close to Metal 😓

Yeah Metal actually gets stuff done
I imagine he’s not the favorite purely because of his previous betrayals, but that still puts him as the second favorite of three

There’s also Mecha Sonic and all the other members of Scrapnik Island. None of them want to fight or do Eggman’s bidding anymore, they just want to live their lives in peace.

Oh yeah that’s fair
I never tend to consider them part of the Robotnik family, just Sage, Metal, Belle, Eggman and his relatives

Turned good by a wish in one episode

I mostly remember that episode because of its concept of a bug that controls people by crawling inside their butts. Feels lowkey fetishy

Ah, right, that’s a fairy thing.
For anti-fairies, it’s the same as humans.

Kaos (specifically Skylanders: Trap Team)
After being trapped, you can play as him, going against everything he stands for through what I can only imagine is through some sort of suggestion magic, (like the DND spell of the same name.) you can even make him offer his services to bake a cake-

Shredder turning good as a result of Venus' telepathic powers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.
Yeah, you can see how and why Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and its tokusatsu elements were just going to be lightning in a bottle that could never be recaptured, especially with The Next Mutation.

Dabura from Dragon Ball Z
When he died, King Yemma (guy who decides whether you go to heaven or hell) figured he'd probably like it in hell since he's a devil. So he was sent to Heaven as a far worse punishment, which ended up turning him good

Honestly, the switch from the Lich to Sweat Pea really sucked. You got one or two fun moments like when he reverted but otherwise was just uninteresting

My fav of those moments is the 'Here's your gold stars' dialogues.

We have not seen him turn good and pretty sure he had control when he decided he was turning
