Akumatized villains

"And when it comes to bringing out Paris' heroes, including their very best Red Noir ....what could be better than to create destruction by bringing out it's very own supervillains."

- Ballard Eberusu III

, also called Evilized villains, are people who have been transformed into supervillains by Doomsday with Akumatization, one of the two superpowers of the Gold Knight Miraculous.

Transformation
Whenever a person has strong negative emotions, such as anger, jealousy, upset-ness, frustration, sadness, fear, humiliation, tragedy, betrayal, misfortune, disappointment, grumpiness, despair, misery, and heartbreak, Doomsday senses it from his lair and charges a butterfly with miraculous magic, transforming it into a akuma. The akuma will then fly away from Doomsday's lair to the targeted person and possesses an important item that belongs to the person.

Once the object is possessed, it creates a telepathic link between Doomsday and the person who has been possessed, allowing them to communicate through a golden-sword light mask that appears in front of Doomsday's and the victim's faces. Also, in that moment, the area around the person's eyes darkens to a shade of black vermilion.

Once the connection is established, Doomsday gives them a new name for their supervillain identity and explains to the person that he'll give them the ability to accomplish their goals if, in return, the person will retrieve the Red Miraculous from Red Noir and later down the line the Rainbow Miraculous from Verre Arc.

When the person agrees, a golden ether appears from the possessed object and surrounds the person. Once it recedes, it reveals the victim has transformed into a supervillain. If Doomsday needs to telepathically talk to them again, his golden sword mask will reappear on both Doomsday and the villain.

Doomsday can also use this power combined with his Golden Destruction power to control more than one akuma to either possess more than one person or to use as an attack.

Doomsday can't mind control his villains, psychologically manipulating them instead. He can't read their minds as well, but he can see through their eyes and sense their emotions. If he needs to, Doomsday can control their bodies for a brief amount of time in order to inflict pain on them until they agree to do as he commands.

Abilities
An akumatized villain has an appearance and abilities that either relate to their infected object, occupation, circumstances, and/or interests or giving them an entirely new superpower. It appears that the powers come with all the knowledge and muscle memory the akumatizated victim needs in order to use the powers effectively.

A majority of the time, their objects end up becoming their weapons.

Aside from their superpowers, akumatized supervillains have enhanced strength, durability, agility and fighting skills. Usually to keep up with Red Noir and Verre Arc.

Defeat
In order to defeat an akumatized villain, one must break the object containing the akuma. Once the akumatized object is broken, the villain that was possessed collapses to the ground. The akuma will be released, and the akumatized villain will de-transform back to their normal self.

After the object is broken, the owner of the Red Miraculous uses the Grappling Claw to capture said akuma. Once captured, the owner will use their Red Aura to "de-evilize" the akuma in their fist and revert it back to a normal butterfly.

However, if the akuma is not captured, it will suddenly multiply and duplicate into random different civilians transforming them into the same villain. The difference is that they will not be frozen in time

After turning back to normal, those who are transformed into villains will have little to no memory of what happened while they were transformed.

In Miraculous Red: Remake, there will be more akumatized villains than usual.

Trivia

 * When an akuma infects the object of the new villain and the light mask appears around their face, the darkened area is almost always an indication of the shape of their mask.
 * Akumatization and Alienization are the complete same thing, the only difference is that the Alienization's light mask resembles that of an alien face, and shows a darker green color around their face when comitting to Omniskull.
 * However, in Omiskull's case of using Alienization is that she must use it to bend the civilian's mind under her control to transform them into a supervillain.
 * Various animals and objects that are not infected by the Akuma can be transformed indirectly with the akumatized villain.
 * It was noted that Baxter would be incredibly difficult to be akumatized due to a special ability that allows him to sense the akuma's presence as himself and Red Noir.
