* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Essentially Frank's slave, who gets whipped and kicked by him, and insulted and mocked at every turn. Frank also steals the credit for Rocky, when Riff did most of the actual science. If his song "Short End Of The Stick" in ''Script/RevengeOfTheOldQueen'' is to be believed he's some kind of second-class citizen on his home planet and has been mistreated and looked down on throughout his life (and the disdainful behaviour of the other Transylvanians towards him certainly backs that up). Perhaps it's no wonder that he's vengeful and murderous, but he also takes out his anger and resentment on innocent people like Rocky.

** However, there is some AmbiguousSyntax as to who "them" refers to here, with some productions of the stage show making it clearly only refer to [[spoiler:Columbia and Rocky]].

Yet by the time of said script, 15 years after the events of the original film, he's a General, and has greater ambitions yet. [[spoiler:He even becomes TheDragon to Sonny by the end.]]

Misuse: Depraved Bisexual was being used for Rocky, who does nothing depraved at all, and Eddie, who has a criminal record but not in any sexual way and isn't portrayed as a predator or in any way having his sexuality tied to his crimes (if anything he might fit Gayngster, though I'm not sure his criminal activity is organised enough for that trope.) Brad is also not a Depraved Homosexual as that trope is for sexually predatory characters and Brad never preys on anyone or even harms anyone, the worst thing he does is expressing a few conservative views, he's not a villain, just...kind of an arsehole. Also, Cavett being hilarious is YMMV.
