Everyone knows that a villain is capable of redemption in everyway, shape and form, in contrast to Pure Evils or Near Pure Evils. But what about an instance where a villain unwillingly changes for the better?

This is what is known as a Faux Redemption, where a villain that clearly will never have any chance of redemption, feigns a redemption in some way or actually redeems but for some other reason. This includes:

Villains that are brainwashed into heroism, either through having their vileness sucked out of them or through rewriting their original personality (e.g. Grandfather, Norman Osborn, Kid Buu, and Professor Pericles).
Villains that had acquired amnesia or some other mental illness that made them forget about their thirst for evil (e.g. Dark Danny, Pride, Raiden the Moon King, Yoshikage Kira, and Dr. Blowhole).
Villains who permanently ally with the heroes yet clearly detest working with them and do so for pragmatic reasons (e.g. Carnage, Evil Morty, Trigon, Dr. Eggman, Lou, Lex Luthor, Preston Northwest, General Hux, Darth Maul, and Nightmare).
Villains who simply retire from villainy for whatever reason, such as boredom, laying low or deteriorating health (e.g. Flumpty Bumpty, Rattlesnake Jake, Zaheer, Sid Phillips, Freddy Fazbear, Death, Vector, Rex Dangervest, Lord Shen, Rain, Cetrion and Kai the Collector).
Villains who accomplished their goals and as a result have no reason to actively continue their villainy (e.g. Hans Landa, Apocalypse, Walter White, Warp Darkmatter, and Magica De Spell).
