evil incarnate
Villainy made flesh
Evil incarnate describes pure evil given physical form—wickedness made flesh.
The phrase treats someone or something as the embodiment of malevolence itself: To his enemies, he was evil incarnate.
Often hyperbolic, suggesting a person or entity so thoroughly wicked they seem to exist only to cause harm: The dictator was portrayed as evil incarnate in the propaganda films.
