=== [[Bambi (Disney)|Man]] ===

* [[Egomaniac Hunter]]: Very likely.

* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]]: It's commonly commented on that he/they is/are (one of) Disney's most hated villains, but he/they isn't/aren't so much a person as well as an evil, eerie presence.

* [[Cruel Mercy]]: She could have easily killed Prince Phillip without turning into a dragon; this is her reason.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: She wants Aurora dead because the King and Queen didn't invite her to a birthday party. Talk about someone who hates to be snubbed.

* [[Expy]]: [[Hamlet|Claudius]].

** [[Gory Discretion Shot]] - [[Nothing Is Scarier|Not technically seeing it]] may or may not make it even worse.

* [[Fisher King]]

* [[Implausible Deniability]]: Denies to himself that there is no gold, just to reassure himself he won't have to return to England having failed his last assignment.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: "And he came so highly recommended." Ratcliffe says it of Wiggins after perceiving the latter to be inept; Wiggins utters the very same line tearfully after seeing Ratcliffe being taken away for his crimes.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Somewhat redeems himself with his worries about the Virginia Company being his last chance at fame and glory.

** And then destroys it completely by still wanting to kill the Indians after it has been proven to him a hundred times that there is ''no gold''.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Crosses it by {{spoiler|trying to shoot Chief Powhatan}}, ''in-universe''. For the audience, he could have crossed the line way earlier for his disregard of other cultures and their significance, but to be fair.. every single British person in the movie thought like that.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: ''Rat''cliffe. Ironically, his real-life counterpart ''did'' bear that name.

{{quote| '''Ratcliffe''': Oh, and Thomas... you've been a slipshod sailor and a ''poor'' excuse for a soldier. [[Disappointed in You|''Don't'' disappoint me again.]]}}

* [[Scarily Competent Tracker]]

* [[Villain Song]]: Averted, Shan Yu one of the few official Disney Villains (technically, there isn't such as [[Loads and Loads of Characters|they're all included in the franchise)]] not to have one. Probably because it doesn't even suit him at all.

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Manipulated Tarzan's feelings for Jane so he could show him where the gorillas were hiding.

 

* [[Lava Adds Awesome]]

{{quote| ''"It's brilliant, brilliant, ''brrrrilliant'', I tell you! ''Genius'', I say!"''<br />

'''Voiced by:''' Eartha Kitt }}

* [[Chaste Toons]]: She has twin nephews, Zim and Zam, who were voiced by [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Dylan and Cole Sprouse]].

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Her teenage self is quite a cutie.

* [[Laughably Evil]]

* [[Lean and Mean]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[Surrounded By Idiots]]: Or rather one idiot, Kronk. But the effect is the same.

* [[Treacherous Advisor]]

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* [[Colonel Badass]]

* [[Crazy Prepared]]

* [[Gas Mask Mooks]]: His henchmen.

* [[Literally Shattered Lives]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: "Fun fact about voodoo, Larry."

* [[Deal With the Devil]]: He's the "Devil" to other people and the "Friends on the Other Side" shadows are the "Devil" to him.

{{quote| "If you relax, it will enable me to do, anything I please."}}

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Amazingly for a Disney film, his Friends on The Other Side may count.

* [[Evil Laugh]]

* [[Evil Sorceror]]

* [[Foil]]: He and Prince Naveen have racked up loads of debts and are running out of time to pay...

** Also, he and Tiana both have their goals and it's implied that both have been dumped on plenty by society. Tiana reaches her goal by hard work. Facilier takes the easy way out and winds up in debt with demons.

** And [[Mass Effect|Captain Anderson]]!

* [[Jackass Genie]]

* [[Literal Genie]]

* [[Living Shadow]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|It's pretty clear that the "Friends" on the "Other Side" are the real power behind Facilier.}}

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: If you want to count her magically-obtained immortality, though even then, it was dependent on Rapunzel rather than her own power.

* [[Kick the Dog|Kick The Chameleon]]

* [[My Beloved Smother]]

* {{spoiler|[[No Immortal Inertia]]}}

{{quote| ''It's not about food. It's about keeping those ants in line.''<br />

'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Spacey }}

* [[Evil Genius]]

* [[Evil Redhead]]

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Would Hurt a Child]]

* [[Married to The Job]]: His directive comes first, above ''all else''.

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

 

=== [[Up (Film)|Charles Muntz]] ===

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]

* [[Freudian Excuse]]

 

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: In some continuities. ''House Of Mouse'', in particular had him actually try to kill the heroes in his first appearance onscreen, of course, it was a James Bond type of trap, but the next time, he tries to make sure that they can't survive a fall. And his final plan involved hijacking the machine that gave the characters clues as to where the villain was, or who they were, making sure they didn't know what to do.

* [[Diabolical Mastermind]]

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: In ''[[Wizards of Mickey]]''

* [[Large Ham]]

** A lot of other writers seem to have [[Retcon|Retconned]] his true face as being unknown. This Troper has read one story where it is vaguely implied that his real identity is in fact {{spoiler|Goofy}}.

** [[Wizards of Mickey]] inverts it, with the Blot never using the cloaked diguise until later {{spoiler|though it's more him becoming an inky monster similar to the approach in [[Epic Mickey]]}}

 

* [[Appropriated Appellation]]

* [[Characterization Marches On]] (In the Beagle Boys' early appearances, they actually represented a threat to Scrooge and [[Donald Duck]]. Today they are incompetent buffoons who are usually easily thwarted.)

** Not all the time. Italian-produced comics make them buffoons, but quite a number of Egmont and Dutch-produced stories feature the Beagles being quite menacing with the point typically being that while just a few Beagles are fairly inept by themselves, a large number can be quite effective crooks.

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]] (In ''[[Duck Tales (Animation)|Duck Tales]]'', at least. The closest thing to Ma Beagle in the comics is their grandfather or, occasionally, Granny Beagle.)

* [[Harmless Villain]]

* [[Theme Naming]]: In the cartoon, they all have names beginning with the letter B.

* [[Villain Protagonist]] (There are plenty of comic stories with the Beagle Boys as the main focus, often showing them trying to rob someone ''other'' than Scrooge for a change.)

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]

* [[Depending On the Writer]] (He is sometimes shown living in Duckburg and being a member of Scrooge's Billionaire Club rather than living in South Africa.)

* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Foil]]/[[Shadow Archetype]] (Glomgold's whole character can be described as what kind of person Scrooge would be like if he never even tried to make his fortune square. Not to mention his lack of relatives and allies in comparison to Scrooge's large group of family and friends.)

* [[Humiliation Conga]] (He gets these in "The Last Lord of El Dorado", "The Terror of the Transvaal" and "A Little Something Special." Don Rosa seems to be fond of putting him through these.)

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] (In the ''[[Duck Tales (Animation)|Duck Tales]]'' episode "Attack of the Metal Mites", Dijon could never pronounce his name correctly.)

* [[The Rival]]

 

=== [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Magica De Spell]] ===

* [[Flanderization]]: How many people remember that her spell originally just required coins in general from various rich people? Barks himself feared this would happen.

* [[Foe Yay]]

* [[Implacable Man]]

* [[Older Hero vs. Younger Villain]]

* [[Surveillance As the Plot Demands]]: When bored, she spends her free time spying on Scrooge in her crystal ball.

* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: See above. Common fan explanation for the above [[Flanderization]] as well.

* [[Witch With a Capital B]]: Used frequently in ''[[Duck Tales (Animation)|Duck Tales]]''.

 

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]

* [[A God Am I]]

* [[Immortality Immorality]]: His first wish to the [[Benevolent Genie|Genie]] was to live forever.

* [[Large Ham]]: To be expected, considering his [[Christopher Lloyd|voice actor]].

* [[Three Wishes]]: His talisman allows him to bypass this rule.

 

 

* [[Cats Are Mean]]

 

=== [[Tale Spin (Animation)|Don Karnage]] ===

* [[Laughably Evil]]

* [[Malaproper]] (much of his dialogue)

* [[Sky Pirates]]

* [[Surrounded By Idiots]]

 

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Like all the characters from the Disney adaptation

 

=== [[Aladdin (Disney)|Mirage]] ===

 

* [[Artifact of Death]]: The source of his power.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: While his is good at making plans, Aladdin is just as good at foiling them.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Kidnapping the hero instead of the princess and anti-magic manacles, anyone?

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: "And your point would be?"

* [[Red Right Hand]]

* [[The Resenter]]

** [[Fallen Hero|Fallen Heroine]]

* [[Fantastic Racism]]

* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: Writ large.

* [[Kill All Humans]]

* [[Magic Knight]]: She uses her powerful magic (she's probably the strongest mortal mage in the show, not counting the Archmage's enhanced form) and formidable combat skills about evenly.

* [[Mama Bear]]: Would rather pull an [[Enemy Mine]] than let Angela be hurt.

* [[Never My Fault]]

* [[Psycho Ex Girlfriend]]

* [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]]

* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]

 

=== [[Kim Possible (Animation)|Doctor Drakken]] ===

* [[Power Glows]]

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Towards Kim

* [[Terms of Endangerment]]: Some of the nicknames she uses for Kim: "Pumpkin", "Princess", "Kimmie"

 

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Amusing Injuries]]

* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: As shown in ''Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo''

** His slave-turning inventions in ''Bubble Boys'' and ''Phineas and Ferb's Musical Cliptastic Countdown'' are rather silly, but apparently effective.

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Bumbling Dad]]: To Vanessa

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"

* [[Chaotic Stupid]]: He ''thinks'' he's evil but he's really just this.

* [[Literal Minded]]: His schemes include: Using Norm the Giant Robot Man, because "[[Green Aesop|The enemy of a platypus is man]]", Making mountain out of the mole hill by enlarging moles and leaving giant carbon footprint via making giant foot of the carbon paper

* [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[Morality Pet]]: Vanessa. He really does try to be a good father.

* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Not all his stories about his childhood fit with each other, especially the one where he was raised by ocelots.

* [[Raised By Wolves|Raised By Ocelots]]: He claims in one episode, after his birth family disowns him.

* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: A one-sided one with Roger.

* [[The Unfavorite]]

* [[Unfortunate Names]]: "Doof" is German for "Stupid".

* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: However, he acts more like an [[Evil Overlord]] than a drill sergeant.

* [[Evil Feels Good]]: He calls Phineas and Ferb his "greatest success stories".

** [[Clancy Brown]] also played a [[Actor Allusion|sadistic prision guard]] in [[The Shawshank Redemption]].

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]

* [[No Name Given]]

* [[Oh Crap]]: He and his dogs get one when Perry is about to knock them into the ravine.

* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]

* [[Villain Ball]]: If he keeps the true colors of Smile-Away a secret, why does he show them on a talk show on national television? Wouldn't a parent (or Candace) see what was happening to their loved ones and try to get them out?

* [[Fantastic Racism|Fantastic Racist]]: Really looks down on toons, even his henchmen {{spoiler|despite (or because of) [[Boomerang Bigot|being one himself]]}}

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doom]]. Do I need to say more? ...I thought so.

* [[Hanging Judge]]

* {{spoiler|[[Hoist By His Own Petard]]}}: {{spoiler|Created "Dip", a concoction of turpentine that could actually kill toons at the slightest touch. At the climax he gets spray with it and [[I'm Melting|melted into nothing]].}}

* [[Affably Evil]]

** [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: To the point of [[Wild Card]] status, but ''without'' Captain Jack's guarantee of doing the right thing in the end.

* [[Cool Sword]]: In the fourth movie, two of them. Firstly, {{spoiler|he [[Exotic Weapon Supremacy|poisons his usual weapon]] to give him the edge against Blackbeard due to losing his leg in their first encounter}}. After this gambit pays off, he {{spoiler|takes the Sword of Triton as well as the ''Queen Anne's Revenge'' as the prize, gaining with it many of Blackbeard's magical powers.}}

* [[Death By Irony]]

* [[Death Is Cheap]]

* [[The Dragon]]: In the fourth, he becames this to King George II. Although, {{spoiler|he doesn't want to work for him at all, and the only reason he agreed to look for the fountain is because he wants to find Blackbeard, and have his revenge on him.}}

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: (''Says Barbossa''.)

* [[Enemy Mine]]: Pretty much his whole role in the third movie consists of teaming up with Will, Elizabeth, and Jack (all of whom he has reason to hate) to stop Beckett. He does seem to have at least parted with the former two on friendly terms, but {{spoiler|convinced Jack's crew to mutiny (again) to help him go after the Fountain of Youth}}. {{spoiler|But even then, this time he leaves Jack in Tortuga with wenches rather than on a deserted island alone. Does this once again in On Stranger Tides, where he teams up with Jack for a chance at Blackbeard, who took the Pearl.}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]] ("And so you see, Mr. Mercer, every man has a price he will willingly accept- even for that which he hoped ''never'' to sell.")

* [[The Napoleon]]: Being [[Fun Size|teeny-weeny]] doesn't stop Beckett from trying to take over the Caribbean and beyond.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: His first run-in with Captain Jack Sparrow, wherein he branded Sparrow a pirate and was given an unmentioned mark in return. The films never elaborate on what went down between Sparrow and Beckett.

** It has, however, been explained [[All in The Manual|elsewhere]]. {{spoiler|When Jack was working for the East India Trading Company, Beckett ordered him to deliver a cargo of slaves. Jack set them free instead. "People ain't cargo, mate." This unauthorized disposal of Company 'property' gave Beckett grounds to brand Jack as a pirate, forcing him into an outlaw lifestyle. What mark Jack left on Beckett is a blank for the audience to fill in- Beckett's expression when asked about it indicates it's a touchy subject.}}

{{quote| ''"Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?''"}}

 

* [[Badass Beard]]: 'Natch. Just look at the picture!

* [[Beat Still My Heart]]

* [[Deal With the Devil]]: "Do you fear death?"

* {{spoiler|[[Disney Villain Death]]}}: {{spoiler|Sorta. He's already dead by the time the body falls.}}

* [[The Dreaded]]

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Bad Men Love Their Pets]]: He is shown to be visibly distraught over {{spoiler|Cutler Beckett forcing him to kill the Kraken.}}

* [[Psychopomp]]: Davy Jones (although he neglected his duties).

* [[Soul Jar]]: the Dead Man's Chest

** {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]}}: {{spoiler|As he dies, he reverently whispers her name, before falling into the sea's embrace.}}

* [[The Starscream]]: Davy Jones to Cutler Beckett in the third film.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Davy Jones-''ah''.

 

=== [[Tron (Film)|The MCP]] ===

'''Voiced by:''' Ken Page }}

 

* [[Evil Laugh]]

* [[Faux Affably Evil]]

* [[I Am a Humanitarian]]: His plan consisted of cooking and eating [[Santa Claus]]

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Plot Irrelevant Villain]]: Awesome though he may be, he doesn't really have anything to do with the plot of Halloweentown taking over Christmas.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

* [[Scary Black Man]]
