* AscendedExtra: Heck, he's an ascended ''offscreen character''. He was briefly mentioned in the first movie when Lorraine's celebration of his return from prison was cancelled because he was denied parole. In the comics, an entire arc centers around the question of what put him in prison to begin with, and its effects on the family are explored in more detail.

* AdaptationalVillainy: She is much more ruthless in the comic book adaption of the game. Not only she considers her action an act of God, [[spoiler:she also has no qualm in killing people]]. [[AdaptationalNiceGuy On the flipside]], in the end [[spoiler: she feels remorse and willingly turns herself in to the police in the comic, whereas she has to be dragged kicking and screaming in the game]].

* TheCaligula: In the alternate 1986, she pretty much rules Hill Valley with an iron fist underneath Citizen Brown's nose. Marty even compares her to Nero.



* CrazyCatLady: The original 1986 Edna and [[spoiler: Crazy, Old 1931 Edna]].

* EpicFail: [[spoiler: While in 1876, Edna tried to burn down Hill Valley's saloon since her grandfather wouldn't do anything about it. This ended up ''burning down all of Hill Valley.'']]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Played with. It's a plot point that multiple characters, particularly [[spoiler: Citizen Brown]], presume that she was kinder and less crazy in her youth than she becomes in her old age, to the point where even though Marty is told that Edna [[spoiler: was the arsonist]] in Ep. 2, nobody really believes it. [[spoiler: This becomes Citizen Brown's brief re-FaceHeelTurn, as he comes to believe stopping his younger self from becoming a scientist will prevent her from becoming a monster]]. However, while she is somewhat more compassionate and sane in the past - helped by the fact that her crusade is against a legitimately evil criminal - she turns out to be no less [[KnightTemplar fanatically closed-minded]], and her StartOfDarkness was well before the plot even happened. It takes [[spoiler: going to jail and ironically getting together with Kid Tannen]] for her better traits to stick around in her future.
