Blake and Mortimer/YMMV
- Complete Monster: Basam Damdu and Voronov both qualify.
- Fanon Discontinuity: Some fans refuse to acknowledge the stories written after Jacob's death, some just chose to ignore the Sente/Juillard productions.
- Magnificent Bastard: Olrik, before Villain Decay set in.
- Villain Decay: Olrik is practically the Patron-Saint of this trope.
- Lampshaded in the above-mentioned Affectionate Parody: when Olrik makes his first apperance, the narrator starts commenting on his previous attempts to take over the world, adding that he still lives with his parents and is still single, stopping only when Olrik shoots the text box a Death Glare.
