1 | '''Basic Trope''': A mentally disabled villain. |
2 | * '''Straight''': TheDragon Dracone has [[HollywoodAutism Asperger's syndrome]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Dracone is pure evil, and has at least half a dozen mental disabilities. |
5 | ** [[DysfunctionJunction Every single villain has some sort of mental disability.]] |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': |
7 | ** Dracone has Asperger's syndrome and is a MinionWithAnFInEvil. |
8 | ** Dracone is an AffablyEvil {{Manchild}} and a FriendlyEnemy to the heroes. |
9 | * '''Justified''': |
10 | ** Dracone's disorder keeps him from understanding what is and is not acceptable. Emperor Evulz takes advantage of this by enabling and encouraging Dracone's less savoury actions. |
11 | ** Dracone is [[WhosLaughingNow lashing out]] after being bullied and ostracized because of his disorder. |
12 | * '''Inverted''': |
13 | ** [[LoonWithAHeartOfGold Lance]], [[TheHeroine Alice's]] [[TheLancer second-in-command and primary partner]], has HollywoodAutism. |
14 | ** Dracone is the only character who ''doesn't'' have some sort of mental handicap. |
15 | ** Dracone is an EvilGenius, maybe even with a MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate or two. |
16 | * '''Subverted''': Evulz reveals that Dracone was faking his autism. |
17 | * '''Double Subverted''': Evulz is a PoliticallyIncorrectVillain, and lied because he was embarrassed to have a minion with autism. |
18 | * '''Parodied''': Evulz has engaged in plenty of [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]], but no one believes he's evil because he doesn't have autism. |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Dracone is sometimes portrayed as autistic, [[ThrowingOffTheDisability sometimes he isn't]]. |
20 | * '''Averted''': |
21 | ** The villains have no mental handicaps. |
22 | ** Any mental handicaps the villains have are explicitly ''not'' part of his evil (ex. Dracone's autism makes him a RailEnthusiast but none of his evil deeds involve trains in any way, shape or form). |
23 | * '''Enforced''': |
24 | ** The author has some kind of problem with autistic people. |
25 | ** The author ''is'' autistic, but thinks EvilIsCool. |
26 | * '''Lampshaded''': "What's up with all these autists siding with Evulz?" |
27 | * '''Invoked''': Emperor Evulz recruits people with HollywoodAutism when he's in need of more minions. |
28 | * '''Exploited''': The heroes use their knowledge of Dracone's HollywoodAutism to trick him into revealing Evulz's plans. |
29 | * '''Defied''': |
30 | ** Evulz refuses to hire Dracone because of his autism. |
31 | ** Dracone's autism and his capacity for evil have no direct correlation. Dracone may even have a BerserkButton towards people who assume otherwise. |
32 | * '''Discussed''': Evulz ponders whether people with HollywoodAutism make good villains. |
33 | * '''Conversed''': While watching ''Sinkhole Wars'', Alice remarks that the characters with HollywoodAutism seem to have an affinity for evil for some reason. |
34 | * '''Implied''': Dracone has a few odd symptoms that suggest a mental disorder. |
35 | * '''Deconstructed''': The characters start associating autism with Dracone, which stigmatizes non-evil autists. |
36 | * '''Reconstructed''': Jason, an autistic hero, kills Dracone and [[WhatTheHellHero calls out the other heroes]] for their prejudice. |
37 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Dracone's HollywoodAutism symptoms consist of him being a LiteralMinded {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, which always makes his schemes fail and turns him into an IneffectualSympatheticVillain. |
38 | * '''Played For Drama''': After being bullied because of his mental handicap, Dracone slips into extreme cynicism and eventually evil. |
39 | * '''Played For Horror''': Dracone's autism manifests in a desire to do horrible (or just plain spooky) things like vivisection or taxidermy. Or the writer says that Dracone has a bundle of mental handicaps (of which autism is just one of his most visible) that all combine in a semblance of Hollywood Sociopathy and thus Dracone has no problem slaughtering an entire building full of people just [[DisproportionateRetribution because the cook made his beans and greens touch in his dinner]]. |
