This appears to be in the domain of "so iconic we can't touch it" historical references, or at the very least the current redirect, Napoleon Complex (a real term), is. (My "Guess the trope" train of thought went toward Take Over the World characters).

Even if we were to swap the current name and redirect, we'd still need a good descriptive redirect. Only thing I can come up with at the moment is Short And Fury.

I'm continually surprised that Napoleon Complex is a redirect instead of the trope name, but I guess that's a product of it being a character trope.

I'm not sure it needs to be one. Edward having a bad case of the Napoleon Complex makes more sense to me than "Edward is The Napoleon.

Any chance of ditching the Napoleon Complex name altogether because Napoleon wasn't that short in Real Life?

the existing term is Napoleon Complex, swap it to the main title.

Bump for more input: Swap with current redirect or just add a new one?

I like swapping it with Napoleon Complex.
