** In Season 3, in order to defend himself as a fugitive in the real world, he's built a button he can press to access his internal code. Essentially letting his subconscious mind take over, fully utilizing his advanced strength and speed to quickly defeat anyone who physically threatens him. It sometimes works too well, resulting in Bernard killing a few people. This ends up becoming irrelevant in Season 4, when Bernard comes back from the Sublime. He's gone through so many simulations of the journey he's embarking on that he knows how to turn every situation in his favor, including one scene where he easily beats down two hosts by knowing exactly how they will react in a fight.

* UnstoppableRage: Tragically subverted. He is quite furious when he discovers his true nature and begins to realize just how thoroughly Ford has manipulated him (namely, forcing him to kill Theresa). However, as soon as he violently declares his intention to destroy Ford and the park, he is stopped in place by Ford and made to dampen down his emotions in order to dutifully cover up the crimes he committed on Ford's behalf. Bernard tried to work around this later by getting a lobotomized Clementine to kill Ford, but he is overridden by his creator once again.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The full extent isn't really revealed to the audience until later, but Lawrence goes from being a powerful and clever crime lord in an earlier version of the park to a criminal whose sole narrative purpose is to be hanged unless saved by guests. In the loop where the Man in Black finds him in this role, he even notes that Lawrence used to be higher up in the world, suggesting that Lawrence's situation was not just the natural ending to his story line. He is subsequently subjected to all sorts of bad things until the Man in Black slits his throat to use his blood to save Teddy from dying to torture at the hands of Wyatt's followers. Chronologically that is the last we have seen of him so far until he shows up during the unveiling of Ford's new narrative playing card tricks for the Delos board members. It seems fairly likely that his role as the resident charismatic villain of Westworld has been usurped by the more fan-servicey Hector. Season 2 reveals there’s [[TheOtherDarrin a new host playing El Lazo]], cementing Lawrence’s status as a has-been.

* ActionSurvivor: Played with. Initially, it's revealed that she survived the two-week massacre when Bernard, Stubbs and Strand find her in charge at the Mesa. This is believable since we see her escape several fatal encounters across Season 2, either through her own scrappiness or dumb luck. However, we finally learn that she did survive the massacre and begin to regain control... only to then be killed and replaced by Dolores shortly before Strand's team arrived.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: When she chooses to terminate herself, Charlotte removes all of her synthetic flesh before the neck and sits by the waters of the Hoover Dam, a beatific smile on her face before it opens up and she destroys her own pearl. Tellingly, it's the only moment during Season 4 where she ever appears genuinely happy or at peace.]]

Added DiffLines:
* HiddenDepths: At first appears to be the perfect integration of William's titan of industry persona and his Man in Black alter ego, designed to fulfill Host-Charlotte's will, before it's revealed that he's also assumed some of William's flaws. He's LonelyAtTheTop, and feels possessive of the world they created. He's also just as unsure of his own identity as William, [[spoiler: leading him to embrace the Man in Black persona and resolve to bring about the end of hosts and humans.]]
Added DiffLines:
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has a futuristic-sounding synth version of the original Man in Black's sinister leitmotif.
Added DiffLines:
* TheSocialDarwinist: [[spoiler: Became a Type 5 in the penultimate episode of Season 4, as influenced by William.]]
