Just A Face And A Caption is worse than nothing for a trope like this. It's not even a character trope.

To be fair, it is a pretty cute caption with the smirking face and all. And he is the trope namer.
Overall, I think in this case it gets the feeling for the trope across pretty well, and I haven't watched Gargoyles. At most not enough to remember him, anyway.
Earl Grey? Most excellent! *air guitar solo*He has a smirk and his fingers are steepled and his face is a Face Framed in Shadow. Clearly he is a devious villain. Also, I point out that pointing out that "This is Xanatos, btw" can be useful.
And again, we already have the picture on another page. At least the Batman Gambit picture has an abstraction of the trope.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Looks like no alternatives have popped up.

and that's how Equestria was made!I still have no idea what this trope is about. Even if it was just a picture from a comic and had a copious amount of text, that would still be better than nothing. The page is too long for one matter and unlike One-Winged Angel the Laconic is really vague and unhelpful.
An image would definitely help spruce up the page.
You are displaying abnormally high compulsions to over-analyze works of fiction and media. Diagnosis: TV Tropes Addiction.Regardless of the result of the crowner, neither image in appropriate for either page. As has been said, it's Just A Face And A Caption. A character looking devious doesn't describe this trope, and it's not even a character trope in the first place.
I think the image needs to represent this trope abstractly or diagrammatically.
It's described a little better on the
As for a page image, in a thread about the Magnificent Bastard subpage images,
someone suggested this
Order Of The Stick comic for the Web Original section of Magnificent Bastard; in that thread I suggested using it for Xanatos Gambit instead.

Alright, two things wrong with this picture. First of all, it's Just A Face And A Caption. Second of all, this picture is already on Xanatos Planned This Index. Any good ideas on what we can replace this picture with?
