In the Blood exhibits a case of Missing Supertrope Syndrome. Specifically, it exhibits the problem of "Generic name for a specialized trope." The Free Dictionary defines In The Blood as an idiom that means "innate", as if being passed down via genetics. The current trope definition of an evil trait being passed down is too specific, thus causing many to misuse the trope.

Examples: (for these wick checks, if the example mentions evil traits, it is considered a correct use. If there is no mention of evil traits, it is a misuse.)

I recommend performing a Trope Transplant.

I have a Single Proposition Crowner for In The Blood Trope Transplant. Any thoughts and opinions?

Support has been unanimous so far. I say we should go ahead and put the proposal to work.

What should the new evil-specific trope be called?

Villainous Lineage? It's the easy answer I came up with a while ago, as a counterpart to Heroic Lineage. I think we can do better though.

[up][up]I like this, and I'm going to suggest Hereditary Villainy and Hereditary Evil as alternatives.

So if it's a supertrope, what would yhe subtropes be?

Off the top of my head there's Shared Family Quirks, It Runs in the Family, Superpowerful Genetics and Lamarck Was Right.

There is also a similar supertrope and index of subtropes Like Father, Like Son.

I think there will be a crowner for the new name? I like the Villainous Lineage as a name.

I'm suggesting Inherited Villainy for the transplanted trope.

Yeah, unless it's currently a redirect, the name needs to be from a crowner. I'd like to suggest, though, the names Born Bad and Intrinsically Evil. Concerning the family lineage supertrope, isn't that already covered by It Runs in the Family? Couldn't bad examples be moved there?

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

[up]There are no redirects to transplant the definition to, so I made a crowner featuring the suggestions given in this thread, as well as an additional option (Born Evil):

None of the options' vote counts are in the double digits yet, and the positive ratios aren't that high. Bumping for votes.
