Evil Cripple: Difference between revisions

* [[Spider-Man]] villains:

** [[The Don| Elderly crime boss Silvermane]] is either wheelchair bound and often on some sort of life support, except the times he's a [[Cyborg]]. There was even a time when he was running his criminal organization while bedridden.

* And [[MODOK]] in most of his incarnations is in a powered wheelchair.

* Miami drug czar Ulysses X. Lugman, aka the Slug, (who first appeared in [[Captain America]]'s comic) is so enormously obese, he can't move on his own, requiring a custom-made mechanical wheelchair with tank treads. He has been known to asphyxiate a man in the folds of his flesh when he wants to kill someone personally.

** The Hammer-Heads from the first book were mean guys who lived on a large hill in the Quadling Country, who had no arms. Unfriendly and xenophobic, they attacked anyone who trespassed on their hill with their hard heads on stretchy, elastic necks, their lack of arms hardly a problem.

** The Wheelers in the third book were a race native to the Land of Ev, who had wheels for hands and feet. Like the Hammer-Heads, they were unfriendly and coveted the magic trees that grew lunchboxes (which really weren't theirs at all). Not truly dangerous or malicious, they still liked scaring people away. (The movie ''[[Return to Oz]]'' made them [[Adaptational Villainy|much more darker and hostile.]])

* Arguably, Nessarose in ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]''.

* Shakespeare's ''[[Richard III]]'' is quite possibly the [[Trope Codifier]].
