Line 3:
* [[Complete Monster]]: While chock full of villains in the [[Anti Villain]] category, there are those who fit this bill. Possible candidates include: Hakon, [[Evil Sorcerer|the Archmage]], Jackal and Hyena, [[Evilutionary Biologist|Sevarius]], and [[Evil Twin|Thailog]]. Tony Dracon's no prince either, but he's more [[Smug Snake|smarmy]] than sadistic, really.
** {{spoiler|Digital Xanatos}} in "Future Tense" definitely qualifies. He {{spoiler|kills Brooklyn, Angela, Demona, and HIS OWN SON,}} without batting an eye. Goliath calling him an unfeeling machine makes sense even without knowing he's {{spoiler|a sentient copy of the original Xanatos' consciousness created by Lexington.}} For that matter, throw that inhuman S.O.B. in there for {{spoiler|selling out his clan, setting them and all allies up to be killed, and gloating about it to his enraged former leader.}}
*** Of course, in the end, {{spoiler|none of it was ever real to begin with. Goliath realizes early on that it isn't real because he knows that the [[Anti Villain]]real Xanatos would never go that far}}.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Matt. The seemingly all-powerful Illuminati repeatedly tried to foil his investigation, even damaging his career in the process, but he overcame every roadblock sent his way. He even turns a seeming dead end into a lead that cracks his case wide open.

Line 24:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Xanatos, of course. Brilliant and utterly devious? Check. Smooth operator? Double-check. Goal-oriented? Absolutely. Charismatic? AND HOW!
** Thailog solidifies himself as another one when he ''gets the better of Xanatos'' in his ''first appearance''. Of course, he learned it from the best...
** Xanatos' wife Fox, his assistant Owen {{spoiler|who is actually Puck}}, and John Castaway qualify for this as well.
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: The series has a lot of attractive characters, but [[Evil Is Sexy|Demona]] takes the cake here.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Xanatos went over it for Elisa in "Metamorphosis". It's unlikely she'll ever forgive him. Similarly, Lexington {{spoiler|was never really able to get over being duped by the Pack, though he eventually forgives Fox, if only for the sake of baby Alexander.}}
