Line 8:
* David [[Xanatos Gambit|Xanatos]] from ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'' is usually one step ahead of the Gargoyles, and everyone else. He frequently got away with actions that would send a normal man to jail for the rest of his life (although he ''was'' jailed for a short time), and was a member of the Illuminati's guild. Of course, since Xanatos was such a smooth talker, he would make you believe he was your friend all while positioning the knife in your back.
** He might adequately be described as Lex Luthor (Evil Corporate Mastermind) mixed with Doctor Doom (genius inventor and likes mixing magic with science), only handsomer, possibly richer, and with none of the flaws that cause their plans to collapse, namely ego inflation issues and revenge obsessions. He even tends to take his defeats in stride, regarding them as a learning experience.
** There's a reason it's [[Trope Namer|called]] a [[Xanatos Gambit]].
*** Uncannily enough, his SECOND LINE in the show is "Magnificent!"
