** Dr. Villainous Evil [[MeanCharacterNiceActor isn't a bad guy]] -- he's only acting it because it makes him [[EvilIsCool seem cool.]]

** Dr. Villainous Evil carries a literal CallingCard to prove he's the villain, and [[DeathDealer uses it as a weapon]].
** Even when he's [[TheMole trying to infiltrate the heroes' organization,]] Dr. Villainous Evil still gives himself away by referring to himself as a villain. (Or, he would have given himself away, but such examples [[RuleOfFunny almost always]] [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain go unnoticed]] by [[GoodIsDumb the heroes]].)

** Dr. Villainous Evil comes to the realisation that he no longer needs to justify his actions in any moralistic fashion, since it would clash with seeing himself as the villain. This leads him [[TheUnfettered to become unrestrained in his evil]], [[MoralEventHorizon plummeting into depravity.]]
** Dr. Villainous Evil sees himself as evil due to his self-hatred.
** Dr. Villainous Evil wants to be evil because he believes that EvilIsCool.

** Dr Villainous Evil is proud of his own evil, but is smart/clever/cunning enough to put up a facade to fool people into getting what he wants. Any kind of noble or reasonable words he says to fool or gain support are flat-out lies.
