Genocidal Villains are a step above your average Mass Murderer and a step below the Omnicidal Maniac; they seek to exterminate an entire race or species. They usually commit genocide to further their own race's (or species') power, fulfill some insidious political goal, or eradicate a particular race perceived to be practicing religious heresy. Or they could simply view another race as a threat.
Genocide has long been considered a violation of not just international law but also basic morality, making those guilty of participating in such acts extremely difficult to redeem; in spite of this, some Genocidal Villains may be praised by intolerant or misguided individuals who may not be aware of how far the villain is willing to go in their quest to "cure," "cleanse," "purify" or "fix" the world.
Editing note: Please do not add Xenophobes as not only is it obvious that they hate another group and that category isn't for people out to kill the group despite seeing them as inferior. Do not add it with Murderer either as genocide is murder on a mass scale and it would be redundant.
