** While Drake is quite clever, he ''can'' be OutGambitted. Actually facing him in open combat is still out of the question.

** While Drake is quite clever, he ''can'' be OutGambitted. Actually facing an extremely powerful EvilSorcerer and a devilishly cunning [[TheChessmaster manipulator]], but while confronting him in open combat directly on the battlefield is still [[CurbStompBattle out of the question.question]], he is still a mortal, with mortal failings, and can be OutGambitted in a [[XanatosSpeedChess game of wits]] by a smarter opponent.

** ''Alice and Bob: The Series'' is a tragedy and Drake is the agent who causes said tragedy. Alice and Bob became [[PrideBeforeAFall too proud]], too headstrong, with all of the victories they had, and they very stupidly went and [[BullyingADragon angered the man who could murder them without breaking a sweat]]. They even had the gall of calling the plan "[[IcarusAllusion Operation Icarus]]".

** The writers wanted the story to become dramatically dreary in a hurry. There is no better DramaBomb than having the characters run into [[KnightOfCerebus a dude who nearly kills everyone]] and they can do jack to prevent it.

** The story revolves around the heroes' desperate race to PreventTheWar against the Kingdom of Drake, because some imbecilic GeneralRipper got it in his head that it must happen and [[IgnoredExpert they]] know that it's suicide and the Kingdom is so outrageously powerful that it would be satisfying to call the resulting genocide a "CurbStompBattle", because that term at least implies that [[CurbStompCushion there was an extremely tiny chance in hell of achieving victory]].

** Drake is a GodOfEvil, or EldritchAbomination and so far above the league of the heroes that fighting him is pointless.


Added DiffLines:

** Drake spends his time [[EvilGloating gloating]] at the heroes, ranting ([[SmugSnake with a snide smirk and inflection, at that]]) about how AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs and the ArtifactOfPower is his and how the heroes are trapped in a massive XanatosGambit and that [[MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning his death is only the beginning]] so [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred you can strike him down with all of your hatred]] and he'd still win.

* '''Zig-Zagged''': When Drake is first introduced, he's untouchable. However, as the heroes grow stronger it becomes apparent that this was just because of their inexperience- they're eventually able to give him a run for his money. Until he goes OneWingedAngel, that is. For the rest of the show the heroes continually approach Drake in power, only for him to get stronger as well and remain ahead of them.
