* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: In TheFifties. Aside from being a MadScientist, he also happens to be a psychiatrist. Given that he's immortal and has ''a lot'' of time on his hands as a result, this is likely a JustifiedTrope.

** He apparently taught RobinHood how to use a bow, Harry Houdini how to escape cuffs, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick caused the Yellow River to flood in the XIXth century]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1887_Yellow_River_flood killing two million people]]. Prof. Boardman says he's been doing this for practically ''all'' of history. So far, he's been confirmed to (at least) have been high enough in the Nazi regime to get a spot next to Hitler, was present at JFK's assassination, and convinced Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

TRS has defined The Beard as "fake straight relationship to hide being LGBT". Examples that don't fit this go in Fake Relationship or one of its other subtropes.


* TheBeard: Savage, as "Dr. Knox", was seemingly married in the 50s. It does nothing to stop him from coming on to Kendra, implying that the marriage is solely for appearances' sake.

* HeelFaceTurn: Subverted. After his death, he doesn't exactly become heroic, but his time spent in hell appears to have mellowed him out and now he's become an AffablyEvil chap who views Ray Palmer as an old friend and fondly remembers the Legends as "those groovy guys". He also no longer cares about his past {{Evil Plan}}s, dismissing it as "fighting over a girl"

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Not that much, but still applied; the crimes of this version of Vandal Savage don't hold a candle to the atrocities of his comics counterpart. Show!Savage associated with a number of despicable people, whereas Comics!Savage ''was'' a number of despicable people (he claims to have been Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, and Jack the Ripper). This Savage also doesn't subject his daughter to anywhere ''near'' the abuse that Scandal suffered in the comics, and there's no indication that this Savage is a cannibal (in the comics, it's believed that Savage may have ''invented'' cannibalism). Though having said that..

* DecompositeCharacter: In the comics, rather than associating with a number of despicable people, Savage ''was'' a number of despicable people, claiming to have been Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, and Jack the Ripper. All of these guys ended up appearing in the Arrowverse as separate characters to Savage.

* GodzillaThreshold: He's such a monster that the only idea about dealing with him is to kill him, nothing else suffices. It's bad enough that when the Flash and Green Arrow disintegrate him before this series, neither hero feels a shred of remorse. Ironically, the only reason the Time Masters are helping him is because of a coming AlienInvasion that can only be stopped by a world united under Savage's banner.

* TooPowerfulToLive: It is made clear that the one and only way to put an end to his reign of terror is to [[KilledOffForReal permanently kill him]]. Anything less and he would always return to cause more trouble.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Despite the character being from Ancient Egypt, Casper Crump [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent just uses his natural Danish accent]]. Possibly justified given that during his long life, he has roamed the world and has presumably stayed in individual locations for extended periods of time, making his accent "evolve". Except, he still had a Danish accent even back in his first incarnation in Egypt.
* WickedCulture: Ray notes that he makes a pretty tasty casserole when they run into him as "Dr. Knox" in the 1950s.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Savage makes this comparison to Ray, in that they are both men who loved Kendra/Chay-Ara, but were always second-place to Carter/Khufu. While Savage's remark was merely to get inside Ray's head, Ray ends up realizing there is a degree of truth to his words. While initially bitter that he could never take the place of Carter, Ray does eventually accept this and is grateful that he is capable of finding love after the death of his fiancee.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

** Played with. Savage is typically an enemy of Immortal Man, Green Lantern, or the Justice League. While he did fight against Rip Hunter, when he was a member of the Forgotten Heroes (a team assembled to stop Savage), Savage's ArchEnemy is Immortal Man, who's [[CompositeCharacter character was integrated into that of Rip's]]. The Legends are also partly based off the Forgotten Heroes, but the roster was completely different, with all of the Legends sans Rip never having fought against Savage in the comics.

* CompositeCharacter: His origin is that of Hath-Set, who in the main DC universe was the Egyptian priest who killed Khufu and Chay-Ara and became fated to slay all their future incarnations throughout history (albeit through reincarnation and not immortality). As Vandal Savage was briefly Hawkman's arch-enemy in the Post-ComicBook/ZeroHour continuity before he was temporarily [[ExiledFromContinuity exiled]], this does have some logic to it.
