Since [[Asskicking Equals Authority]] and [[Authority Equals Asskicking]], your average [[Big Bad]] tends to be (appropriately enough) ''[[Large and In Charge|big]]'' - however, a frequent subversion of this is for the big cheese to be a [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|half-pint]]. Generally this will be taken to an extreme degree, and accentuated by giving him two [[Giant Mook]] bodyguards.
 
Almost invariably [[The Napoleon]], with a [[Berserk Button]] about their height. Alternatively (or as well, if they're [[Stealth Insult|too dumb to notice the irony]]) they might have an [[Ironic Nickname]] along the lines of "Mr. Big". This might be a reference to their sizable [[Big Bad|reputation and influence]], [[The Big Guy|combat skills]], or [[Large Ham|personality]]. Often got their position due to intelligence or deviousness that compensates for their lack of physical threat - if [[Shorter Means Smarter]], this guy is a [[Evil Genius|genius]]. Will often be introduced with a [[Big Shadow, Little Creature]] or [[Big Little Man]] shot.
