History YMMV / Irredeemable

* CompleteMonster: The Plutonian, after his FaceHeelTurn, seems to be determined to be the biggest one of these he can be. The essential purpose of the book is to ask the question of "What would happen if Franchise/{{Superman}} suddenly turned evil?' Given how the first thing we see him do is murdering a mother and her ''baby'', and that's not even the first thing he's done to cross the MoralEventHorizon, the answer seems to be 'He'd fit in this trope pretty nicely, actually.' The aforementioned atrocity obviously being just a beginning, he also partially and painfully lobotomized his former ''teen'' sidekick, knowing full well that he is effectively immortal and will have to suffer eternal brain damage. He later allows his former compatriots to choose only ten out of millions of Singaporeans to rescue from a massive tsunami (that he triggers, natch) prior to his absolute destruction of Singapore. His reason for devastating Singapore? The UN-representative of the aforementioned country wasn't ''entirely honest'' about why his country wanted to elect him as their absolute monarch. After [[spoiler: being captured by the Vespa]], he is shown to dream of reversing all the horrible things he did - implication being not because he was punished, but out of regret. ''Except'', subsequently, when given the opportunity to redeem himself [[spoiler:i.e accepting the telepathic alien's offer to help him]], he mercilessly refuses it. As a first thing he does upon returning to Earth, he carves his initials into the USA, uses the new paradigm as projectiles, arranges a kinky threesome with Cutter and Belle Noir, and promises rivers of blood to his followers. Burrows, the man who made a town commit suicide, chooses to kill himself rather than face the Plutonian's plans for earth, and his former ArchEnemy Max Damage does a complete HeelFaceTurn after being in one of the towns he destroyed.

* JerkassWoobie: Max and The Plutonian. Both are mass-murdering psychopaths but Their powers have made Their lives nearly unbearable and would give anything to escape Their roles as hero and villain.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Oh boy. Both Plutonian and Max are complex enough to give us several different takes on them, and to some extent they all might be true. Other popular subjects are Survivor, Quibit, Modeus, Hornet, Jailbait and Alana.

**** Even then, Max was about to cross the line [[spoiler: by unleashing a supervirus that may have killed even him]] when the Plutonian showed up. Max thought the Plutonian was there to stop him before the Plutonian killed everyone in sight.

*** FridgeHorror: The sound that causes this, which only Plutonian can hear before it's unleashed, is something he describes as beautiful... and as mentioned above, is a component of the screams of children dying in agony.

** It seems Modeus is one of these as well, [[spoiler:considering his recent actions]]. And did we forget Orian? Yeah, Orian's a real piece of work...
** Max Damage was this as a villain, killing people ForTheEvulz and giving his underage sidekick a Stripperiffic outfit and naming her Jailbait.

** The Plutonian seems to be devoted to becoming the biggest one of these he can be, outdoing even Kid Miracleman in villainy. And is having fun at that.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: In ''Incorruptible #23'', [[spoiler:during their brawl Plutonian demands to know why Max isn't afraid of him. Max tells him that it's because Tony's FaceHeelTurn convinced him to try to become a better person...and he wants to thank Tony. This honest gratitude is one of the reasons Plutonian agrees to leave Coalville alone. This neatly ties into both character's stories - Plutoian's overriding need for love and gratutide, Max's desire to be normal - as well as their shared backstories - Max being a symbol for Pluto of his less than perfect secrets and one of the people that hates him above all else. For Pluto, Max's redemption certainly seems like the biggest thing an Ace could do and for someone looking for love/gratitude, having the person that hates you and whom you hate equally as strong thank you is also perhaps one of the biggest things that can happen.]]

** [[spoiler:Gilgamos killing Survivor due to thinking that it'd give his brother all of his power; unfortunately, Survivor was the ''source'' of the power, meaning that the last sibling is powerless. He probably wouldn't have done it had he known, but inadvertently killing one of the planets ''only hope left'' lands him this entry.]]

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: [[spoiler: An alien virus that killed only children, melting the flesh and muscle and animating the skeletons. As if that weren't scary enough, ''it's sound-based and travels on their screams.'']]

* MoralEventHorizon: The first thing we see the Plutonian do is incinerate a mother and baby -- and that's not even the ''first'' atrocity he's committed. He shows no sign of slowing down.
** Actually, the Plutonian thinks that he already crossed the MoralEventHorizon with MyGreatestFailure and decides "in for a penny, in for a pound".
*** Max Damage, in the spin-off comic ''Incorruptible'', is doing his best to be a hero despite the fact that he passed his Moral Event Horizon years ago and never looked back until now.
**** Even then, Max was about to cross the line [[spoiler: by unleashing a supervirus that may have killed even him]] when the Plutonian showed up. Max thought the Plutonian was there to stop him before the Plutonian killed everyone in sight.
** Chronologically, Tony likely passed the Moral Event Horizon when he destroyed Sky City and lobotomized Samsara.
* WhatAnIdiot: After [[spoiler:capturing the invulnerable, godlike Plutonian in a straightjacket cloned from his own skin and trapping him in a LotusEaterMachine]], what do the Vespa do with him...? They release him to use as an asteroid miner.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Oh boy. Both Plutonian and Max are complex enough to give us several different takes on them, and to some extend they all might be true. Other popular subjects are Survivor, Quibit, Modeus, Hornet, Jaiblait and Alana.

* {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}}: [[spoiler: You gotta admit. Charybdis powering up and knocking the shit out of the previously unstoppable Plutonian is satisfying as hell.]]
** For a mild and villainous example, just... just look at the [[OhCrap expressions on the minor villains' faces]] when they come across the Plutonian warming a cup of coffee.

* LawfulGood: The Plutonian's former alignment. Seems to be what Max Damage is going for.

* ChaoticEvil: The Plutonian now fits this alignment rather snugly.
