History PlayingWith / FreudianExcuse

** Alice makes up a fake Freudian Excuse on the spot in a last-ditch effort to get the heroes to [[VillainExitStageLeft let her go]]. Some of them believe it, but [[TheSmartGuy Charlie]] [[OnlySaneMan isn't]] [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcusefooled]].

** Alice's story about her FreudianExcuse regularly changes, because she's [[UnreliableNarrator the goddamn]] [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]].

** Alice, an OmnicidalManiac, wipes out galaxies because [[TraumaCongaLine she lost her mother immediately after she was born, had suffered from an abusive father who abandoned her on the streets when she was only five, became homeless for her entire childhood, got sent to prison for a crime she didn’t commit as a teenager]], [[PrisonRape was raped repeatedly during her time in prison]], [[TraumaCongaLine and had her entire home planet destroyed with her as the only survivor]].

** Alice reveals nothing about her past to us; we know nothing one way or the other.

** One day, [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Alice]] was caught in one of her acts of murder. Her [[AmoralAttorney lawyer]] states to the court that [[BlamingTheVictim Alice’s crimes were of result of the bullying from her victims]] [[AssholeVictim and that they deserved it.]] Thus [[NoSympathy no one sympathizes with the victims]] and [[KarmaHoudini Alice gets away with her atrocities scott-free]].

* '''Lampshaded''':
** "There must be something really terrible in her past to make her capable of this..."
** '''Bob''': "Just what exactly did you have to gain from causing all these deaths?"\\
'''Alice''': [[WhamLine "Because they made me to want be like how they are now. DEAD."]]
