1 | '''Basic Trope''': A character (usually a villain) is a manifestation of evil. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Being the avatar of Evil, Jason gains strength whenever someone is murdered, meaning every enemy the heroes defeat (or he himself kills) only makes him stronger. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Jason is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of [[TheHeartless all the sadism, corruption, greed and evil mankind has.]] |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': |
5 | ** His nature as an embodiment of elemental Evil is only hinted at; Jason only allegorically represents Evil in the story. |
6 | ** A DNA scan shows that he's only ''partially'' made of Evil; [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome there are other elements and compounds that he's made of]]. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |
8 | ** The setting has emotions and good and evil as tangible, quasi-sentient forces; Jason just happens to be the one for Evil. |
9 | ** Jason isn't actually pure ''evil'', but rather a manifestation of things associated with it like killing, greed, and theft. It just happens that evil is the easiest thing to call him despite not being 100% accurate. |
10 | ** Jason is TheHeartless, composed of humanity's negative emotions. Because of this, all he can understand is suffering and death. |
11 | * '''Inverted''': |
12 | ** The main villain Jason is actually Made of... ''Good?!'' Turns out GoodIsNotNice. |
13 | ** MadeOfGood |
14 | * '''Subverted''': Despite being Made Of Evil, Jason is actually friendly and pleasant. Since OppositesAttract he's actually attracted a whole lot of positive energy. |
15 | * '''Double Subverted''': ... and he uses it to [[ThePowerOfLove power his Love-Beam]], an attack that depletes the universe's Love. |
16 | * '''Parodied''': |
17 | ** Jason is so evil that Halliburton has built an oil rig on his back to extract the fossilized, inky black ichor he's made up of. |
18 | ** Jason embodies all of the SevenDeadlySins... ''at once!'' Including Sloth and Pride, so he's tremendously lazy and incapable of even considering self-improvement. [[TheDevilIsALoser This makes it impossible for him to act on any of the other sins; he just stews in his own impotent loathing.]] |
19 | ** Jason is [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants "1% Evil, 99% Hot Gas"]] |
20 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Jason is composed of pure negative energy! Except that means he's made of electrons. ''Evil'' electrons. |
21 | * '''Averted''': He's a just a regular villain who has a few villainous traits. |
22 | * '''Enforced''': Everyone in the story represents a fundamental cosmic force. Even {{Muggles}} are made of equal parts Platonic Elements like Fire, Earth, Water and Air, as well as moral ones like Good and Evil. |
23 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Why did you do it Jason? YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood!" "Oh yeah, because [[BadPowersBadPeople being made of the primordial forces of Evil]] just lends itself to heroism." |
24 | * '''Invoked''': To become a stronger villain, Jason tries to infuse himself with [[PureEnergy Pure]] [[TheDarkSide Dark]] energy. |
25 | * '''Exploited''': Cassandra knows GoodHurtsEvil and ReviveKillsZombie, so she packs a HolyHandGrenade and {{Healing Potion}}s to weaken him. |
26 | * '''Defied''': Jason knows he's likely to transform into pure Evil because of his actions, and takes pains to stay at least TrueNeutral... by [[HumanResources draining]] the good {{Karma}} from [[PoweredByAForsakenChild innocent children]] to counter his evil taint. Sure, he's past the MoralEventHorizon, but at least he's not Made Of Evil! |
27 | * '''Discussed''': "Since Jason is Made of Evil, we can probably confuse him by showing him mercy since EvilCanNotComprehendGood." |
28 | * '''Conversed''': "Wow, why is it some shows just hit us over the head with impossibly evil villains?" |
29 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
30 | ** Anyone who is sufficiently evil suffers from EvilMakesYouMonstrous, to the point that no one but the truly insane or sociopathic ''dares'' to do evil deeds for fear of [[LossOfIdentity losing themselves]]. |
31 | ** Jason is actually necessary to maintain the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil. But he doesn't ''want'' to be Evil, and actually [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt took up the mantle]] after beating his much worse predecessor. The hatred and negativity of others is something he literally needs to live, [[TragicVillain and it torments him every day]] because he [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wants to be loved]]. |
32 | ** Emperor Evulz has to take special measures in order to even summon Supreme Nadir properly. The collective sins of humanity make it such that Supreme Nadir's very existence [[MeatMoss causes the world around it]] [[AlienGeometries to warp into]] [[WombLevel a hellscape]] where only [[DeathWorld the most vile of creatures would dare to live.]] |
33 | %%* '''Reconstructed''': ??? |
34 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Jason is Made of Evil, but can't manage more than to PokeThePoodle, becoming an IneffectualSympatheticVillain. |
35 | * '''Played For Drama''': Being a WellIntentionedExtremist who believes UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans, Jason reluctantly accepts that to save the world he must become a being of pure Evil. |
