* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a slave who worked in the dilithium mines for many years (starting when he was a ''child'') and was subject to horrible abuse by the Romulan guards, who apparently despised him even ''more'' than they did the Remans.

* CloneAngst: Created as a clone of Picard for a scheme that was abandoned, he's got a major chip on his shoulder about it, at Romulans, humans and Picard alike. At least some of his motivation seems to be just proving he's his own man... in the most monstrous way imaginable.

* VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler: While Shinzon only appears in one film, his actions and legacy end up driving much of ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' 20 years later (both in-universe and in real time). Data's death aboard the ''Scimitar'' continues to haunt Picard during Season One (with Data's subsequent resurrection ironically only being possible due to Shinzon's usage of B-4). Finally, his coup destabilizes the Romulan government, leaving it ill-prepared for the Supernova that destroys Romulus and devastates the heart of the Star Empire.]]

* IAmWhatIAm: Mid-fight, Picard tries again to reason with Shinzon's better nature. Shinzon categorically refuses, denying any remnant of his humanity left.

Added DiffLines:

* FlawedPrototype: He works, and he doesn't have Lore's little bug of "kill and betray everyone who looks at me", but clearly Doctor Soong still hadn't worked out all the kinks. B-4's mind seems permanently set at a childlike state, and ''Picard'' makes clear he's nowhere near as sophisticated as his brothers.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoSimilar: Used as an example by Data as to why Picard and Shinzon aren't the same man.
-->'''Data:''' I aspire to grow, to be more than I am. B-4 does not.
