* DrivenByEnvy: Vicki resents how Carly got everything she wanted, including popularity and opportunities to pursue her passions, while Vicki languished in obscurity.

Lo and behold, you're no better than Carly. So... I'm taking my gift back. You both fell for Lansky's scheme. Maybe instead of fighting over who's more charitable, you can fight over who's more naive."

* ScrewTheMoneyThisIsPersonal: Her first scene in "Scars and Bars" shows Vicki's dresser stuffed to bursting with money she made from working with Lansky, but she clearly doesn't care about the wealth and instead focuses on her vendetta against Carly.




to:

* {{Jobber}}: The role they serve while Vicki is collaborating with Lansky: they act as formidable, memorable adversaries that Lansky can market while losing in dramatic fashion to make whichever hero he is backing look good. Once Vicki betrays Lansky and starts fighting the heroes earnestly, they quickly discover that her monsters are not so easily felled anymore.

* BadPowersBadPeople: Ecto is the most outright evil member of the Zenerrengers, and his powers involve manipulating ghosts into doing his bidding, even those of dead children.



* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After Sawyer Millius points a rifle at him during the attack on Nyanfeld World, he calmly tells the soldier that bullets won't warm him. When Millius informs him that his rifle is loaded with silver bullets, Ecto relents and withdraws from the battlefield.



* LogicalWeakness: The ghosts he summons have similar physical attributes as they had in life, and therefore the same limitations. Also, he can only summon ghosts within a limited proximity to himself. Siggy is able to exploit both at once by outrunning the overweight bikers Ecto has summoned and leading him into an abandoned movie set of a cemetery, preventing him from summoning new ghosts after he dispels the bikers.

* WouldHurtAChild: Ecto shows his cruelty when he summons the ghosts of children and brainwashes them into fighting Carly.

* BoomHeadshot: Carly's father blows his head off with a shotgun when he has Siggy cornered in a fake cemetery. However, this only serves to temporarily inconvenience him.
* HealingFactor: While his body can still be damaged by conventional weapons, he can only be truly harmed by silver, allowing him to recover from having his head blown off by a shotgun.
* KryptoniteFactor: Silver bullets. Ordinary ammuniton only slows him down.




to:

* SicklyGreenGlow: Both the ghosts he raises and his own skeletal form have a pale green glow.
* SkullForAHead: After his helmet is damaged by gunfire, his face is revealed to be a glowing green skull.



* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Given his expertise in robotics and thick, white beard, he is something of a villainous version of Dr. Thomas Light from the [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]] franchise.

* YouHaveFailedMe: After the whole Hoover Dam mission starts to fall apart, he blames his underlings and attempts to self-destruct his giant mecha, destroying the dam and killing everyone present save himself. Moments later, he ends up on the receiving end of this when Cynthia kills him when his villainy is exposed.
