Deleted this misuse from Generic Doomsday Villain:
It outright states they have a clear reason/motive, which means they're not an examples. Also deleted this under Sturm from Characters.Nintendo Wars:
Sturm is an approved Complete Monster meaning he's been deemed to have enough personality to disqualify (sadism and power hungriness are basic but enough motive to count).
Awhile back there was a TRS
on how to fix this, splitting between "villainous Flat Character" and Feral Villain. I'm not sure if there's been improvement on the issue. Thoughts? (And might "Powerful, But Motiveless" be a better name for the intended use?)
