* HeelFaceTurn: Maaaaaybe Vandal Savage. He plays a game with Nate, putting their past differences aside, even though he's supposed to be torturing him. However, it's unlikely he'd have the ''job'' of torturer if he refused to harm ''anybody,'' so maybe don't put the 'good guy' label on him just yet.
