\\\"It seems like any silly character who could suddenly become crazy dangerous could fall under this trope.\\\" How does that apply to good characters? He would be incredibly dangerous if the villains weren\\\'t keeping him in check? Because now it says the silly-seeming villain would actually be dangerous if the heroes weren\\\'t keeping him in check.

The title of this trope brings a clear image to mind that is not what the actual description says. In fact, the wrong interpretation (that the silly ones can be dangerous too) is so obvious I\\\'d say it could be made a trope with this name and rename this one. Heck, at a glance it seems there are more \\\"silly but dangerous\\\" ones and barely any \\\"only looks silly because the heroes are keeping him in check\\\" examples now.
