Added DiffLines:

*MinionWithAnFInEvil: The "evil" lab nerd Leopold grows in his lab isn’t really that evil, which makes sense considering he was grown from a regular box of "LAB NERD" mix that Leopold admits to having tried to jazz up as a result of low funds for his evil lab assistant project.

Added DiffLines:

*EvilNerd: Leopold grows an evil lab assistant in his lab from a box of store-bought "LAB NERD" mix, though it seems the base nerd isn’t inherently evil considering Leopold admits he tried to jazz it up a bit because he had to cut corners after his funds for the project ran out. The resulting nerd claims to be just as evil as Leopold, but the key word here is "claims".

*ArtificialHuman: Leopold grows an evil lab assistant in a giant petri dish in his lab. When Gary points out that the assistant doesn’t look very evil, Leopold admits he ran out of funding and had to cut corners, and says it’s the last time he tries to "jazz up" a store-bought mix while looking at a box labeled "LAB NERD". Going by the implements on the table, the first steps were similar to making pancake batter.

Added DiffLines:

*UnstoppableRage: Sometimes Leopold gets angry enough to go all-out on a violent rampage, although the results are usually just lightly talked about after the fact, since it would be ''just'' [[{{Squick}} a bit much for a newspaper comic to show in detail.]]

Added DiffLines:

*FangsAreEvil: Subverted as of Gary’s retirement before the series started, though going by what Leopold remembers, Gary was a shining example of a ruthless murderous vampire back in his heyday.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

*HairTriggerTemper: Leopold can and does fly into a murderous rage and attack/kill/eat people at the slightest provocation, usually PlayedForLaughs. At one point he attacks one of his neighbors ''just for saying hi to him''.

Added DiffLines:

*RageBreakingPoint: Sometimes, Leopold actually, legitimately tries to hold his anger back. It never works for long, and may or may not end in a massacre or severe beating.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

*TranquilFury: It’s PlayedForLaughs that Leopold may sometimes ''look'' calm and composed, but is actually simmering with/consumed by rage and isn’t letting it show at the moment, in contrast to how he may show his anger by going berserk at other times.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

*SuppressedRage: The punchline of some strips is that Leopold [[BlatantLies totally isn’t that angry at something Gary said or did/is doing]], and that’s why he just threw, say, a coffee mug or some other blunt object at his boss.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:

Added DiffLines:

*DisproportionateRetribution: Leopold can and will attack people over minor offenses, [[ExaggeratedTrope like saying hello to him.]]

Added DiffLines:

*MissingReflection: As a vampire, Gary doesn’t cast a reflection, and has long since forgotten what he looks like. It also makes it difficult for him to groom himself.

* HopeCrusher: The poltergeist enjoys causing misery for Gary and his housemates. When the poltergeist takes possession of Gary’s Echo Dot, it seems content to make Gary feel worse about himself.

** Leopold thoroughly enjoys making his (often depressed or on the edge of despair) housemates miserable whenever he gets the opportunity, and revels in their suffering. Chances are if someone is unhappy, then it makes him happy (and he may or may not have been the cause).
--->'''Leopold''': ''(Sitting on the kitchen table in front of Gary and smiling after Gary told him how he feels like his life is a hollow lie)'' Your despair nourishes me.

*LockedInTheDungeon: Besides his torture chamber, Leopold has a rather medieval dungeon that seems to share basement space with the former as well as his modern-day evil lab with all its high-tech equipment. It’s not out of the ordinary for Leopold to have at least one prisoner chained to the dungeon wall on any given day.

*JekyllAndHyde: Dr. Jekyll is Leopold’s doctor. As Jekyll he is a normal looking man, but when he turns into Hyde, he turns roughly 8 feet tall and green, gains a somewhat disfigured face and disheveled hair, has a much more threatening demeanor, and just makes strange grunting sounds instead of talking.
