!!1946 Film
* AluminumChristmasTrees: Latter-day viewers might not understand when Nell says to Hannay "Are we lovers that you 'thee and thou' me"--viewers in 1946 might not have understood for that matter. But it is true that when "thou" was used in English it was the familiar, intimate form of address, the way one would talk to a lover or a husband or a child.
* CompleteMonster: George Sims, the master of BedlamHouse, is a ruthless, {{greed}}y man who runs the asylum with an iron fist. Manipulating the political system to have any rivals thrown into the madhouse, Sims rigs the window outside their cells so that when they try to escape, they inevitably fall to their deaths. Starving, beating and torturing inmates, Sims has a young woman thrown into Bedlam when she attempts to have the inmates treated better. Sims frequently attempts to break her faith in humanity and tries to have her thrown in a cell with a murderous inmate. When he learns she is going to testify before a parole board, Sims attempts to force her to take a "solution" that will leave her dead or insane.

** Mr. Pixel is the final ArcVillain in the comic, and, alongside Madder Red, handily the worst. A fanatic obsessed with [[TheUnfettered freeing humans from the constraints of morality]], Mr. Pixel began his crusade by using MindControl techniques to organize the bombing of four highly populated areas, before following it up by [[PsychicAssistedSuicide controlling dozens upon dozens of office workers to jump to their deaths from rooftops]]. As an insane admirer of Madder Red, Mr. Pixel, after forcing an entire squad of S.W.A.T. team members to slaughter one another, tries to force Fillmore Press, the man created when Madder Red was lobotomized, into shooting and killing him, hoping it will destroy Fillmore and once more bring out Madder Red. As incentive to coerce Fillmore to kill him, Mr. Pixel reveals that he has mind controlled pawns stationed throughout the city of Bedlam, ready to cause planes to crash, [[WouldHurtAChild burn their own children alive]], and slaughter operation patients unless Fillmore murders him, and, even after Mr. Pixel is killed, it is revealed that he had the atrocities carried out anyway, leading to the deaths of thousands across Bedlam.

**[[PedophilePriest Archbishop Warton]], the first ArcVillain, is a [[KnightTemplar self-righteous religious zealot]] who hopes to punish and cleanse the entire city of Bedlam for locking him away after he was ousted as a SerialRapist and abuser of young boys. By brainwashing some of his abuse victims, Warton makes them genitally mutilate themselves and become killers in his name, horribly murdering innocents across Bedlam, including other survivors of Warton's abuse. Eventually having his most loyal "angel of death" Eric [[SpreeKiller go on a shooting spree]] in a hospital, Warton callously orders the loyal man to kill himself just so Warton can get a better deal to satisfy his sadistic god complex.

!!Comic Book
* CompleteMonster:
** [[AxCrazy Madder Red]], before being brutally tortured and lobotomized into becoming a pacifist known as "Filmore Press", was a sickeningly sadistic psychopath. Madder Red spent three years torturing and killing thousands across the city of Bedlam, with standout atrocities including massacring innocents at a religious gathering after [[OffWithHisHead decapitating]] two of the church leaders and massacring a restaurant filled with dozens. In his so-called "greatest achievement", Madder Red slaughtered an entire opera house, including a class of [[WouldHurtAChild children]], and when his ArchEnemy, The First, arrived, Madder Red [[SlashedThroat slit the one surviving child's throat]] in front of him just to anger him. Madder Red also revealed, after being captured, that if he was not dead within one hour, his associates would detonate bombs located in six schools across the city and kill hundreds of children and adults alike.
