* VillainBall: Actually manages to defeat and mortally wound [[spoiler:K, but she doesn't bother to finish him off, opting to let him bleed out instead. This allows K to come back for round 2 and kill her with what's left of his strength before expiring. To her credit, she is on a tight schedule since her prisoner is about to drown, plus she harbors feelings for K and might have intentionally allowed him to spend his last moments in peace.]]

** He can be also compared to Eldon Tyrell, creator of the Replicants and lead of Tyrell Corporation. While Tyrell was an affable, grandfatherly old man with thick glasses who usually dresses in white or in a nice tuxedo, Wallace is a solemn, sophisticated younger man with a high-tech sight system who always dresses in a black, distinctly Eastern outfit. Also, Tyrell was a doctor and the creator of the Replicants, while Wallace is never stated to be a scientist or anything beyond a businessman and only wants to exploit Tyrell's invention. Finally, while Tyrell dies losing his eyes, Wallace is blind from the start.

** His name literally means "new man" and sounds like "Neandertal." He's both the progenitor of a new race who seeks to revolutionaize society, and little more than a crude savage who has no empathy.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Like Wallace, she strongly contrasts Roy Batty; physical differences aside (Roy was a blond man, Luv is a dark haired woman), Roy was very much his own man, [[spoiler:even killing his own creator]], while Luv is Wallace's [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] [[TheDragon Dragon]]. She also lacks Roy's philosophical nature and emotional attachments, proving to be more of a blunt instrument and sadistic killing machine.

* EmotionalBruiser: In a very unsettling manner. She sheds a tear almost everytime she kills someone, but it doesn't stop her from being ''fanatically'' dedicated to her duty.
* EmotionlessGirl: Subverted. Wallace designed the Nexus-9 Replicants to be completely emotionless and subservient, but while Luv maintains a dispassionate appearance, she can get quite emotional really quick to the point of near irrationality.

* HeroKiller: As the central antagonistic force Luv becomes a very powerful enemy past the half way point and becomes a very clear threat to the heroes. Through the film she [[spoiler:kills Joshi, Joi, and may have even killed K]].

* NotSoStoic: She tries to remain composed, especially around Wallace, but she silently cries in their first scene. By the half-way point of the movie her temperamental persona slips.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She starts off as woman in white, but eventually adds black and red to her outfit.

* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He's a [[LooksLikeJesus messianic]] figure played by the handsome and youthful-looking Jared Leto and a ruthless megalomaniacal narcissist with zero empathy for anyone, human or Replicant.
* FatalFlaw: Arrogance. Wallace is so utterly convinced off his own [[AGodAmI godlike superiority]], he would never even consider that [[spoiler:the Replicant "child" he's so obsessed with is not only [[FailedASpotCheck right under his nose]] but actually works for a subsidiary that ''[[EpicFail Wallace's own company controls.]]'']]
** ''Anime/BladeRunnerBlackLotus'' reveals that [[spoiler:he got his distinctive eye scars and lack of vision from Elle, one of his own replicants that he turned into a TykeBomb to help pave his way to taking over his father's corporation. Wallace had programmed Elle to never be capable of hurting him, allowing him to stand right in front of her with a drawn sword without fear, despite the high body count she'd amassed, impressive hand-to-hand skills and clear animosity she demonstrated towards him. However, Elle circumvented this by [[LoopholeAbuse closing her own eyes so she couldn't see whom she was attacking]], allowing her to make a quick draw slash across his face and taking his eyes, something Wallace clearly didn't think she was actually capable of doing]].

* AdaptationNameChange: His last name was ''Rosen'' in [[Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep the original novel]]- possibly to avoid the UnfortunateImplications of the big business owner having a Jewish surname.

* LooksLikeOrlok: Tómas Lemarquis' looks give off this vibe with his distinctive hairless face and baldness.

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He speaks with a lot of weird pauses and strange, lilting tone-shifts. It's one of the things that makes him seem ironically [[UncannyValley more robotic]] than any Replicant.

** For a world that's built on the work and sacrifice of artificial humans, Wallace is ''by far'' the most [[UncannyValley robotic and inhuman]] character in either movie, including his own attack dog, [[SoftSpokenSadist Luv]].

* UndyingLoyalty: Wallace conceived her Replicant line to be completely subservient. It’s possible this trope is subverted since Luv is clearly terrified of Wallace and can lie unlike most other Replicants. She may see K as a killer of their own kind and could be trying to find the child to save it from both Wallace and K.

* UndyingLoyalty: Wallace conceived her Replicant line to be completely subservient. It’s possible this trope is subverted since Luv is clearly terrified of Wallace and can lie unlike most other Replicants. and may possibly be trying to find the child to save it from both Wallace and K.

* UndyingLoyalty: Wallace conceived her Replicant line to be completely subservient.

* {{Sadist}}: It's clear that Luv genuinely enjoys many of her acts of cruelty.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: A possibility given we aren’t given Luv’s true perspective. We have a distorted point of view from K that Luv is psychotic and loyal to Wallace, but from Luv's possible perspective, K is a Blade Runner who murders her own kind and has been assigned to kill the child of Rachel and Deckard. She is also clearly disturbed by Wallace's actions and like K has the ability to lie unlike most of the other Replicants. It is possible that she is trying to save the baby from both Wallace and K, and sees herself as the Messiah for the Replicants.

* WasItAllALie: She never says it, but she threw away "her" photo with her "Mother" when Deckard reveals the truth to her.

* KillItWithWater: [[spoiler: how she goes out]]

* MutualKill: [[spoiler:Her fight with K ends in one of these.]]

* AdaptationNameChange: His last name was ''Rosen'' in [[Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep the original novel]].
