* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: Milhouse in Lisa's story. He starts off reasonably enough, wanting to get back at the bullies who tormented him and his friends ForTheEvulz for so long, but he later begins exacting revenge against people who only minorly inconvenienced him. The final straw comes when Milhouse targets a kid who did nothing to him, just because the kid ''might'' wrong Milhouse at some point in the future; at this point, Milhouse has sunk to the level of his bullies.
