* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Despite the Emperor's charisma making him, well, the Emperor of Mankind, there's very little said about him actually having ''friends''. He was so absurdly intelligent and old that there wasn't anyone able to relate to him. The only two characters that have been stated to be close friends with the Emperor are the closest things he had to peers outside of the Primarchs in Malcador the Sigillite and Constantin Valdor...and his frequently shown LackOfEmpathy causes many fans to doubt his relationship with those two resembled exactly what a regular person would expect of a friendship.

* GalacticConqueror: He viewed himself as an AntiHero version of this but in truth was closer to an AntiVillain. His Great Crusade sought to unite all of humanity throughout the Milky Way Galaxy under one banner to give humanity a chance to survive in an incredibly hostile universe. Except as noted under TheExtremistWasRight, the universe already had a number of fairly prosperous, progressive, and technologically advanced civilizations that would have been better-suited to dealing with Chaos. So while it's true that the Imperium is ''currently'' the only thing keeping humanity from extinction, the only reason it needs to exist is the [[NiceJobBreakingItHero damage the Emperor did]] [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom to galactic civilization in the first place.]]

* TheExtremistWasRight: Ultimately subverted as time goes on and new information on the universe is revealed. While initially the Emperor and the Imperium seemed to be very needed after the Age of Strife, the ever-increasing numbers of alternative human civilizations such as the Interex, the Diasporex, the Auretian Technocracy, the Dulanian, the Olamic Quietude, and the Leagues of Votann, all even more Chaos resistant, more technologically advanced, and more progressive as societies than the Imperium ever was, undermine the Emperor's claims of being necessary for the survival of humanity. Indeed, the more we learn, the more we see that the Imperium and the Emperor, despite the horrors and damage of the Age of Strife, were not only unneeded, they also put humanity into a far worse and more vulnerable position than it would have been if it had simply been left alone. It is quite possible humanity might have recovered by 40k had the Emperor not taken over and enforced the rule of the Imperium. At best, you could say that he was needed to bring Terra to order, given what kind of monsters human and otherwise were present there (read: [[MadScientist Basilio Fo]]).
* FantasticRacism: The Emperor absolutely despised alien races for their actions during the Age of Strife, stating many Xenos preying upon the weakened human race, enslaving or killing billions of people and entire colonies. As with all Imperial claims, this should be taken with a heavy dosage of salt.

* {{Mutants}}: In his earliest appearance in ''Rogue Trader'', his now retconned origin was simply that he's a mutant with 2 main powers - an almost endless amount of psychic power at a time when the 40K psychic power list was just the TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy spell list with tweaks and he was extremely LongLived (but not eternally young, he was put on life support for age not injury - a picture in the book showed an old hooded man between a pair of Space Marines propping him up). His mission in life was that humans were evolving into a psychic race but vulnerable to threats from the Warp, so he's trying to shepherd humanity to the next step.
