Oh trust me, there's no way in hell she's making it there. I however am keeping her here because... well, despite her claims as a Well-Intentioned Extremist, everything she does not go in line with what she says. I've already said it enough and edited her entry here to reflect on it, but I do not buy her as a Well-Intentioned Extremist at all: She actively and knowingly contributes to the negative perception people have of Conduits through fear-mongering and propaganda, I'd put more stock in her locking away Conduits if she didn't actively have them experimented on and tortured, any Conduit she interacts with is either her abusing them or manipulating them, while she talks about how she'd never hurt a Conduit, her men have been shown in the DLCs to actively try to kill Conduits with no remorse (And of course, she has no problem murdering Delsin if he doesn't fall in line with her beliefs in the end, in fact, she KNOWINGLY put him in a situation where he'd easily be killed for defying her by locking him into a powerset he knows almost nothing about). Her thoughts on the girl she betrayed MAY be her one good quality, but given that she later groomed her and pretty much twisted her mind into a perfect weapon... And holy crap I am so sorry for the wall of text. I guess Augustine is to me as Ghetsis is to you! :D

You know, I hate to go on a rant here, but looking back at TV Tropes... I really feel that it's genuinely hard to get an example approved who ISN'T a card-carrying rapist/mass murderer/torturer/etc. Ones like Light Yagami or Walter White who start off as decent people but make the full descent into Complete Monsterdom didn't make it, villains from works aimed towards younger people have it hard to begin with like Ghetsis and FiM Tirek (I am still shocked that the princess from Rainbow Brite was approved, I was convinced that with the mindset so many of the people there share, that she wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell), and even other villains have come dangerously close to being cut for small reasons like Ronan and Hades (Though he looks like a complete cut now. D:). I know it's nothing new, but still... really grinds the old gears!

And like I said on Luthor, I'm not sure as I'd have to look for him again, but I think that's why he didn't make the cut. Don't know why since he BLATANTLY states that he knows so many people will die, but hey: That's TV Tropes for ya, the site that almost cut people like Vidal, Bob Ewell, and even Amon Fucking Goeth.

EDIT: Alright, did more digging and Lex's issue is that they believed he wasn't taken as seriously by the narrative as it should have, citing his fate at the end of the movie as being proof (Though I hear that a sequel was planned with Luthor in it again, it just never came to fruition) and I'm very sure his infamous "WROOOOOOOOOONG!" scene didn't help at all.
