* the Ego, which reconciled the Id and Superego.

Likewise, the Freudian Trio consists of three characters: one who acts [[TheMcCoy emotionally and instinctively]], one who acts with [[TheSpock cold, passionless logic]] and one who [[TheKirk reconciles the two conflicting ideals]].

The EvilDuo is a {{Foil}} to this arrangement consisting of two villains who show how the Trio fails to function without one of the members. The most common form is with one Id villain and one Superego villain, but an Id[=/=]Ego pair or even an Ego[=\=]Superego pair is not unheard of.

* Id: [[CardCarryingVillain Card-Carrying Villain]] (Passion).

Traditionally, when it comes to the moral behaviors of the three. The Id typically leans towards [[ChaoticGood]][[ChaoticNeutral Chaotic]][[ChaoticEvil alignments]], the Ego settles into [[NeutralGood the]] [[TrueNeutral Neutral]] [[NeutralEvil alignments]], leaving the Superego adhering to [[LawfulGood the]] [[LawfulNeutral Lawful]] [[LawfulEvil alignments]]. This divide often has the Id and Superego commonly feuding one another due to conflicting standpoints. Leaving the Ego either in-between or generally not involved, with the other two.

* RealLife: In a rather spectacular example, the congressional testimony against the PMRC desire to censor music lyrics featured Dee Snider (Kirk), Frank Zappa (Spock) and John Denver (McCoy).

From a tragic change in the plot, where the three are victims of a CrapsackWorld. The Id will more than likely become a [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized rebellious non-conformist]] whose angry with how society is run. For the Superego, they instead become obsessed with [[TyrantTakesTheHelm taking control]] believing only their standards are good enough for everyone. Tragically this leaves the Ego, in many cases the worst affected. Since they're often the Middle Man, most people will either [[HumansAreBastards ignore or take little consideration]] towards their thoughts and feelings, turning the Ego in this case into an EmptyShell. This can be a [[TruthInTelevision very real]] situation.
