1. Saruman from LOTR, for sure. My family called it "pulling a Saruman" every time we saw bulldozers clear cutting a forest to build ticky-tacky houses, decades before the film came out.

2. Storm from X-Men. She can control the weather, but then there's the butterfly effect...stop a villain, cause a monsoon...

3. Godzilla. Turning megatons of megacity into megtrash. Recycling's fine and all, but what do you do when the nearest recycling plants are also reduced to powder?

4. Human Torch, from Fantastic Four. I don't think he's ever heard of Smoky the Bear. On the same note, Jack-Jack from the Incredibles.

5. "Edgar" (or the giant cockroach who was wearing his skin) in the original Men in Black. He was trying to capture and exploit an entire galaxy, and didn't seem to care what he did to this one in the process.
