* EatingMachine: He makes several mentions of being able to consume regular food and drink. However, the ''Geniuses' Repose'' light cone implies that there are some limits as to what he actually can consume. The full artwork of the light cone has him stare at his drink concernedly, complete with visible sweat drops. And in the flavor text, Herta reassures him that it's machine oil and that it's safe for him to consume.

* EatingMachine: He makes several mentions of being able to consume regular food and drink. In the Geniuses' Repose light cone, he stares in puzzlement at the glass of machine oil that Ruan Mei offered him: [[AmbiguousSituation is he confused more because he can't drink it, or because she offered him that as his drink?]]

* EatingMachine: Being a robot doesn't stop him from being able to savor fine food and drink. This is played with in the "Geniuses' Repose" light cone where he stares at the drink in his glass with confusion, while Ruan Mei assures him that it's only machine oil. [[AmbiguousSituation Is he confused more because he can't drink it, or because she offered him that as his drink?]]

* NiceGuy: Screwllum is unfailingly polite to everyone around him. [[spoiler:Including Silver Wolf.]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Screwllum's comment during his visit to his laboratory, namely that his answer about why he developed the [[FantasticNuke Imaginary Implosion Pulse]] was insincere, was the catalyst for Chadwick to come to terms with his own hypocrisy. Unfortunately, it was too little too late for him to pull the plug on the project.]]

* ReedRichardsIsUseless: With a few rare exceptions, members of the Genius Society contribute nowhere near as much to the galaxy at large as they could. It often takes the IPC sponsoring the normal scientists of the Intelligentsia Guild to recreate some genius's abandoned project to put it to practical use.

* MadScientist: Strongly implied based on his name, his invention of the gravity-capture technology, and the crimes he supposedly committed to be in the authority's hit list. While the exact details of his crimes are not revealed, it's hinted to relate to his profession, implying his experiments with the gravity-capture technology are unethical.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His backstory and what he created bears many similarities to [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/RobertOppenheimer, as someone who created a terrible superweapon and was horrified at the results of his own creation.]] His name, meanwhile, might be a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Chadwick James Chadwick]], who received Nobel prize for the discovery of neutron and became part of the Manhattan Project.

* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: Shortly before [[spoiler:his true death, Chadwick bequeaths all of his knowledge bout imaginary research as well as the Imaginary Implosion Pulse to Herta in the hopes that she will be able to leverage it to prevent the IPC from having a monopoly on the technology]].

** [[spoiler:While the memory-blocking drugs Chadwick took from him were effective in preventing the IPC from getting anything about Imaginary Implosion Pulse from him, he had heard bits about "preserving his memory with Garden of Recollection's tech" from the people around him during his house arrest, leading him to fear that they'll be able to get said knowledge after his death. Screwllum confirms that they did turn his memory into a bubble after his death, but as he's no longer biologically alive, the drugs didn't work anymore - it's Chadwick's own sheer willpower which prevented anyone from getting any or his knowledge.]]
