The primary antagonist of the film, a nerdy young man who just happens to have very good technology. He stole the Pyramid of Giza, which kicks the film off. He took the shrink ray that Gru requires for his plan. Has a thing for sea life.
----
* AnimalMotifs: He uses piranhas for one of his weapons and has a pet shark. His father is also a ''business shark''.
* AttentionWhore: Vector's first moment is trying to show-off to Gru about his latest scheme.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He manages to be the BigBad ''and'' a ButtMonkey at the same time.
* BigBad: Surprisingly combined with ButtMonkey, and it still works. He's also TheDragon to the GreaterScopeVillain, his father [[spoiler: Mr. Perkins, who is considered to be the true villain of the film.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's an immature goofball, but he's an impressive villain.

* DoNotCallMePaul: "Victor was my nerd name, now I am Vector!"
* EvilCounterpart: Set up to be one with Gru in the first film. Gru is old-fashioned, has mommy issues and a JerkWithAHeartOfGold; Vector is new-fashioned, has daddy issues and a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk. They both are amazingly good with technology, comically evil (for the fun of it, and for us watching), a few personality flaws.
* EvilGenius: Vector is highly intelligent but also cocky and has an extreme side of arrogance.
* HarmlessVillain: Somewhat; he manages to steal the shrinking gun from Gru and prevent him from re-taking it. When it comes to being evil though, yeah not so much.
* {{Jerkass}}: Vector is a rich-spoiled brat and show-off who gets everything that he wants.
* LaughablyEvil: No one would expect someone with a pudding bowl haircut to be taken seriously.

* SmugSnake: A classic example.
* TheSouthpaw: Vector is left-handed due to using his UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}mote with his left hand, which is his dominant hand.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: He ignores the rapidly-expanding moon rolling around his escape pod in order to stop Margo from leaving. Even after it knocks him out of the pod, he doesn't learn. He climbs back into the pod, laughs triumphantly, and is promptly steamrollered by it.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cookies - with COCONUT!
* VillainBall: [[spoiler: Pretty much the only reason he refused to give the girls back to Gru for the moon. Or in preventing Margo from jumping while said enlarging moon was wrecking havoc on his ship.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SandraBullock
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlet_minions_character.jpg]]
An ambitious villain.
----
* TheAce: One of the greatest supervillains of her time.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was bullied as a child.
* AnimalMotifs: In her "fairytale" to the Minions, she's shown as the wolf. Makes perfect sense, since she and wolves are associated with the following list: intelligence, endurance/ambition, and ruthlessness.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Having a name like ''Scarlet Overkill'' just implies being a badass.
* BadBoss: In a vast contrast to Gru. Her bedtime story to the minions spells out [[YouHaveFailedMe exactly]] what she'll have done to them should they fail her.
* BattleBallgown: [[spoiler:Her coronation dress]] has armor underneath, which not only helps her survive [[spoiler:a FallingChandelierOfDoom, but also a giant lava bomb]]. And the worst that happens is the skirt gets shredded.
* BigBad: Of the Minions film, being the Minions' leader [[spoiler: and eventual enemy]].
* BrokenAce: Many of her flaws stem from her life as orphan and never receiving a lot of love then.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's even featured in a magazine for villains.
* ColorMotifs: Red, given her signature dress and to represent her passion for being the number #1 villain.
* CulturedBadass: A lover of England and its entire culture (i.e. clothing, food, etc).
* DarkActionGirl: BigBad? Check. Skilled fighter? Double check.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: WordOfStPaul [[https://twitter.com/_EmptyUniverse_/status/666363917812240385 revealed]] Scarlet grew up in the streets then a horrible orphange where she was bullied. Then, she somehow ended up in villainy.
* TheDogBitesBack: Mistreats the minions, loses everything in response.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She and Herb genuinely love each other.
* EvilCounterpart:
** Or rather ''eviler'' counterpart to Gru. They're both driven by ambition to be the number one supervillain, but Scarlet is more cruel to her underlings.
** Also an evil counterpart to Margo, Edith and Agnes. They were all orphans, desperate to find a family to love them. Except Scarlet was never adopted and turned to villainy.
** To Lucy Wilde. Both are [[WaifFu slim]], {{action girl}}s who married {{gadgeteer genius}}es. Also both Lucy and Scarlet have big noses, something that their husbands have as well. However, Lucy works on the side of good, is a definite {{nice girl}}, and loves the Minions (even giving them a AffectionateNickname "Munchkins"); Scarlet is a supervillain with no sign of any form of kindness (outside of [[MoralityPet Herb]]) and only associates with the Minions because they prove of some use and doesn't actually care about them.
* EvilIsHammy: "One day, the pigs did something very ''stupid.'' So the wolf huffed, and puffed, and she '''''BLEW THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!''''' The end."
* FauxAffablyEvil: Scarlet adopts a AffablyEvil attitude in the beginning, but when [[spoiler:the Minions apparently rob her of the throne]], she drops it quick.
* FlowerMotifs: Roses. A lot of them can be found on her [[spoiler:coronation dress.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Her ambition is fueled by low self-esteem brought on by growing up in an orphanage and never being adopted.
* GagNose: Has a similar huge nose shape like Lucy's.
* HappilyMarried: She and Herb are in a unabashedly loving marriage.
* HighClassGloves: Her royalty aspirations show in the long, black gloves in her main outfit. [[spoiler:Her would-be coronation dress also includes long gloves.]]
* HighCollarOfDoom: [[spoiler:Her coronation dress has a classical renaissance era collar]], which Herb remarks still adds to her villainous aura.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: It's heavily implied that Scarlet turning to villainy was because of her orphaned childhood and being bullied by her peers.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fb23fdf7de1ee15f42fd179239ff056d.jpg]]
The primary antagonist of the film, a nerdy young man who just happens to have very good technology. He stole the Pyramid of Giza, which kicks the film off. He took the shrink ray that Gru requires for his plan. Has a thing for sea life.
----
* AnimalMotifs: He uses piranhas for one of his weapons and has a pet shark. His father is also a ''business shark''.
* AttentionWhore: Vector's first moment is trying to show-off to Gru about his latest scheme.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He manages to be the BigBad ''and'' a ButtMonkey at the same time.
* BigBad: Surprisingly combined with ButtMonkey, and it still works. He's also TheDragon to the GreaterScopeVillain, his father [[spoiler: Mr. Perkins, who is considered to be the true villain of the film.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's an immature goofball, but he's an impressive villain.
* CatchPhrase: "Oh yeaah!"
* ColorMotifs: Orange. He wears an orange tracksuit, has an orange couch, and some of the furniture in his room has the color in it
* DoNotCallMePaul: "Victor was my nerd name, now I am Vector!"
* EvilCounterpart: Set up to be one with Gru in the first film. Gru is old-fashioned, has mommy issues and a JerkWithAHeartOfGold; Vector is new-fashioned, has daddy issues and a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk. They both are amazingly good with technology, comically evil (for the fun of it, and for us watching), a few personality flaws.
* EvilGenius: Vector is highly intelligent but also cocky and has an extreme side of arrogance.
* HarmlessVillain: Somewhat; he manages to steal the shrinking gun from Gru and prevent him from re-taking it. When it comes to being evil though, yeah not so much.
* {{Jerkass}}: Vector is a rich-spoiled brat and show-off who gets everything that he wants.
* LaughablyEvil: No one would expect someone with a pudding bowl haircut to be taken seriously.
* ManChild
* MeaningfulRename: His original name was Victor before he renamed himself as a supervillain. His was the name of his nerdy loser self, while Vector represents direction with magnitude!
* NerdGlasses: Vector sports large, black glasses.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: By taking back the moon, he assured that Gru wouldn't suffer the effects of its re-enlarging. It's the thing that stops him after he tries to prevent Margo from reaching Gru. What's more as all of this was in the air when it happened, he wound up unwittingly returning the moon to its proper orbit.]]
* SmugSnake: A classic example.
* TheSouthpaw: Vector is left-handed due to using his UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}mote with his left hand, which is his dominant hand.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: He ignores the rapidly-expanding moon rolling around his escape pod in order to stop Margo from leaving. Even after it knocks him out of the pod, he doesn't learn. He climbs back into the pod, laughs triumphantly, and is promptly steamrollered by it.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cookies - with COCONUT!
* VillainBall: [[spoiler: Pretty much the only reason he refused to give the girls back to Gru for the moon. Or in preventing Margo from jumping while said enlarging moon was wrecking havoc on his ship.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: To his father, [[spoiler:Mr. Perkins]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He did almost vaporize Margo, Edith, and Agnes when he first meets them.
* WouldHurtAChild: Vector showed no qualms over aiming one of his weapons at Margo, Edith, and Agnes. He would've shot at them too, had they not mentioned his TrademarkFavoriteFood.

->'''Voiced by:''' Will Arnett
Owner of the Bank of Evil (formerly Lehman Brothers), where supervillains get loans for their schemes. ''Not'' a good person.
----
* ConspicuousConsumption: Conducts his business on a solid gold laptop, of course.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's actually [[spoiler: Vector's father]], which explains why he's so hellbent on ruining Gru's plan. Heck he actually ''steals'' Gru's plan so that [[spoiler:Vector could carry it out instead.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep
* FatBastard: A fat man who runs the Bank of ''Evil''.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Considered to be the true villain of the first film instead of his son Vector.
* LargeAndInCharge: He is a tall and plump man who runs the Bank of Evil.
* {{Jerkass}}: Mr. Perkins is a selfish and short-tempered man.
* KarmaHoudini: Not quite as glaring, but he is the closest thing the movie has to a BigBad - and then he's never mentioned again after his involvement in Vector's schemes is revealed. One assumes he just kept on running the Bank of Evil.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Eduardo_Perez.png]]

* BadassBaritone: He has a deep, masculine voice to match how macho he is!

* BadassCape: What he wore as El Macho in his younger years and [[spoiler: in the climax]].
* BadassDecay: In-Universe. Gru initially describes him as a truly unstoppable powerhouse of a man. When we finally see him in action, he never does anything so impressive and [[spoiler: takes the transformation serum to take on Gru.]] While justified by his old age, this is oddly never commented on.
* BaldOfEvil: Well, he's technically half bald, but it counts.
* BeardOfEvil
* BigBad: Of the sequel.

* CarpetOfVirility: Has a pretty impressive one; only a clump of chest hair was left behind as "proof" of his death.

* TheCharmer: Which helps him win over a lot of people.
* ChickMagnet: During his dance sequence, Eduardo managed to successfully woo at least three women.
* DrowningMySorrows: When Eduardo consoled Gru over [[spoiler: his depression with Lucy leaving for Australia]], he admits that he knows the look of heartbreak. How? Because Eduardo, also like Gru, tried to forget his sadness with guacamole.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Well it's a faked death moment of awesome, but it was still in the manliest way possible!
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:In the climax, Eduardo injects the SuperSerum into himself; considering his CharlesAtlasSuperpower he already had, SuperSerum! Eduardo is practically unstoppable.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He deeply cares about his pet chicken, El Polito. It's strongly implied he loves his son dearly too.
* FatAndSkinny: A parent version. Eduardo is the Fat to his son's Skinny.
* FatBastard
* FanDisservice: Eduardo ripping his shirt open to display his prominent chest and gut...which jiggles.
* GeniusBruiser: A competent mastermind and one hell of a brawler.
* KubrickStare: Played for {{Badass}} in his introduction montage.
* LargeAndInCharge: He owns his own restaurant, "Salsa y Salsa".
* LatinLover: Evokes this image, but isn't that much of a ladykiller.
* LivingLegend: Oh where to begin with this guy! Gru even calls him "one of the greats"!
* MaskedLuchador: His mask is why no one recognizes his older self at first.
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:After his death, which turns out to have been faked.]]
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:After drinking the PsychoSerum.]]
* PecFlex: Eduardo does this the first time he meets Gru and Lucy.

* ShipperOnDeck: He even states that Margo and Antonio were "young and in love".
* StoutStrength: Eduardo may have became fatter, but he hasn't lost his great strength.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Especially in his introduction sequence, where he does everything in the most ridiculously aggressive ways possible.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:His fate is unknown after Nefario knocked him out with the gun.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He did tie up Lucy to a rocket, intending to send her into a volcano.]]

[[folder:Scarlet Overkill]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SandraBullock
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlet_minions_character.jpg]]
An ambitious villain.
----
* TheAce: One of the greatest supervillains of her time.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was bullied as a child.
* AnimalMotifs: In her "fairytale" to the Minions, she's shown as the wolf. Makes perfect sense, since she and wolves are associated with the following list: intelligence, endurance/ambition, and ruthlessness.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Having a name like ''Scarlet Overkill'' just implies being a badass.
* BadBoss: In a vast contrast to Gru. Her bedtime story to the minions spells out [[YouHaveFailedMe exactly]] what she'll have done to them should they fail her.
* BattleBallgown: [[spoiler:Her coronation dress]] has armor underneath, which not only helps her survive [[spoiler:a FallingChandelierOfDoom, but also a giant lava bomb]]. And the worst that happens is the skirt gets shredded.
* BigBad: Of the Minions film, being the Minions' leader [[spoiler: and eventual enemy]].
* BrokenAce: Many of her flaws stem from her life as orphan and never receiving a lot of love then.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's even featured in a magazine for villains.
* ColorMotifs: Red, given her signature dress and to represent her passion for being the number #1 villain.
* CulturedBadass: A lover of England and its entire culture (i.e. clothing, food, etc).
* DarkActionGirl: BigBad? Check. Skilled fighter? Double check.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: WordOfStPaul [[https://twitter.com/_EmptyUniverse_/status/666363917812240385 revealed]] Scarlet grew up in the streets then a horrible orphange where she was bullied. Then, she somehow ended up in villainy.
* TheDogBitesBack: Mistreats the minions, loses everything in response.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She and Herb genuinely love each other.
* EvilCounterpart:
** Or rather ''eviler'' counterpart to Gru. They're both driven by ambition to be the number one supervillain, but Scarlet is more cruel to her underlings.
** Also an evil counterpart to Margo, Edith and Agnes. They were all orphans, desperate to find a family to love them. Except Scarlet was never adopted and turned to villainy.
** To Lucy Wilde. Both are [[WaifFu slim]], {{action girl}}s who married {{gadgeteer genius}}es. Also both Lucy and Scarlet have big noses, something that their husbands have as well. However, Lucy works on the side of good, is a definite {{nice girl}}, and loves the Minions (even giving them a AffectionateNickname "Munchkins"); Scarlet is a supervillain with no sign of any form of kindness (outside of [[MoralityPet Herb]]) and only associates with the Minions because they prove of some use and doesn't actually care about them.
* EvilIsHammy: "One day, the pigs did something very ''stupid.'' So the wolf huffed, and puffed, and she '''''BLEW THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!''''' The end."
* FauxAffablyEvil: Scarlet adopts a AffablyEvil attitude in the beginning, but when [[spoiler:the Minions apparently rob her of the throne]], she drops it quick.
* FlowerMotifs: Roses. A lot of them can be found on her [[spoiler:coronation dress.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Her ambition is fueled by low self-esteem brought on by growing up in an orphanage and never being adopted.
* GagNose: Has a similar huge nose shape like Lucy's.
* HappilyMarried: She and Herb are in a unabashedly loving marriage.
* HighClassGloves: Her royalty aspirations show in the long, black gloves in her main outfit. [[spoiler:Her would-be coronation dress also includes long gloves.]]
* HighCollarOfDoom: [[spoiler:Her coronation dress has a classical renaissance era collar]], which Herb remarks still adds to her villainous aura.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: It's heavily implied that Scarlet turning to villainy was because of her orphaned childhood and being bullied by her peers.
* ImprobableAge: A darker example. She started her own criminal organization by the time she was 13.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Wears a stylish red dress while going on dangerous missions.
* LaserGuidedKarma: If she had just treated the Minions fairly, she would have won it all.
* LeanAndMean: Skinny and set up to be a BadBoss.

* PrincessPhase: She not only didn't get over hers as a child, she wants to overthrow the English monarchy.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The coronation outfit she always wanted as a child has a red bodice and a black skirt with red roses speckled all over it. Black boots and long, black gloves accent her regular dress as well.
* ScarletFever: Scarlet is a good name for an evil and passionate DarkActionGirl in a red dress.
* StrongGirlSmartGuy: Scarlet is proficient in WaifFu, can take on dozens of foes at once, and has a penchant for armored dresses armed with missiles. Her husband, the evil, but chill, Herb is a prolific inventor, makes all of Scarlet's gear and seems to find her megalomania incredibly attractive.
* ThrowItIn: InUniverse. When she gives her speech about conquering England, Stuart adds '''[=BANANA=]''' to her speech. She decides to roll with it.
