Civilian Villain: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Once again, the villain has gotten out of the [[Cardboard Prison]]. But this time, they've just served their sentence, with possible time off for good behavior, and guess what? They're no longer interested in crime, they just want to be an upstanding citizen. The system works!

* Very common for recurring [[Special Guest]] Villains on ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]''. For instance, the Penguin runs for mayor in "Hizzoner the Penguin," and in "Catwoman Goes To College," [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|well....]] In one episode, this trope actually works against the Penguin. After opening a high class restaurant to get the signatures of its rich clientele, he purposely ''tries'' to get put in prison so he can hook up with an expert forger. The Penguin actually [[Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin'|proved somewhat inept]] at getting himself arrested.

* In season three of ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'' it seems that {{spoiler|four-years-later Sylar}} fits this trope. However it might be a subversion, as he seems to have actually changed his ways.

** In ''The Curse of Peladon'', where [[Proud Warrior Race]] the Ice Warriors claim to want to have given up their militaristic ways, which the Doctor does not believe. In fact, they have. Though as the next story, ''The Monster of Peladon'', as with humans and Time Lords, you can trust some Ice Warriors but not others.

** The first Second Doctor episode, ''The Power of the Daleks''. ''I AM YOUR SER-VANT!''
