* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: Bison's game counterpart once conducted a ritual to expel all good from his body to maximize his Psycho Power, supernatural energy fueled by negative emotions and evil ambitions. His movie version doesn't have that... but he still did the thing anyway, apparently just to perfect his dickishness.
