* BondVillainStupidity: Immediately after Charming and Snow clear her of suspicion by claiming Greg was the only one they found torturing Regina, she immediately reveals herself as his co-conspirator to Emma and Neal (though she would likely have been revealed soon after Regina regained consciousness regardless).



* MageKiller: Cunning enough to avert TransformationIsAFreeAction with The Dragon in Hong Kong. Also, unlike most real world {{Muggles}} who only see what they want to see, she can see the true effects of magic.

* CameBackWrong: As can be expected from given his brother's infamy, he's reborn with his mind mostly gone, barely able to speak, and his body in constant agony. Unlike Daniel, he's not as violently insane and even seems desperate to die in order to avoid hurting anyone, but Viktor refuses to let him.

* ParentalFavoritism: He's their father's favorite to Viktor's [[TheUnFavourite Un-Favourite]], though he doesn't let it get to his head and often defends Viktor's research.
* {{Patricide}}: He ends up being his and Viktor's father to death in a twisted attempt to save Viktor when their father angrily berates him for reviving Gerhardt in such a state.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Viktor can't bring himself to kill his resurrected form, declaring he'll instead find a way to fully restore his mind. However, he seemingly abandons his goal upon accepting that he's unable to return to his original world, and the series never makes it clear if he ever takes it up again.

* ForTheEvulz: In a series whose motto is "Evil's not born; it's made," she acts as the sole exception. She was a narcissistic sociopath from the day she was born, and she has no qualms, remorse, or guilt in indulging her vices.

* TheJekyllIsAJerk: Season 6 reveals [[spoiler: that ''Jekyll'' is the real villain -- "all mind, but no heart", as Hyde says at one point -- and driven to rage and murder, the latter of which he frames Hyde for. Hyde, in contrast, is villainous in that he's willing to allow innocents to die for his vengeance, but also displays actual emotions -- mainly, he's still mourning the woman he fell in love with and who loved him back until Jekyll killed her because she'd rejected ''him'' in favor of his Hyde personality]].

* WorfEffect: In the Season 5 finale he's set up as a main baddie, presumably taking Gold's place as Storybrooke's "landlord" since he traded information to Gold for the town. Zelena, a witch powerful enough to wield the Sorcerer's want, can't hurt him. He shrugs off a backstab inflicted by Hook. Emma and Regina's powers combined don't dent him. [[spoiler:He gets taken out by an electrical weapon Jekyll makes a little over half-way through the Season 6 premiere, and dies for good four episodes later.]]
