Line 6:
It's not very leader like to give orders yourself when you're [[Take Over the World|trying to rule the world]]. Whilst you leave the hunting of the [[MacGuffin]] to your [[The Dragon|champion]] and the creation of the [[Doomsday Device|world ending device]] to your [[Mad Scientist]], who's leading your legions of terror? That's where the [[Mook]] lieutenant comes in.
The Mook lieutenant is the commanding officer of the evil army. He will be seen in the background to give orders, ask [[The Watson|boneheaded questions]] about the weather controlling device and give the [[Big Bad]] someone to talk to when [[The Dragon]] is a man (or woman) of few words. Very rarely in [[For the Evulz]], he's normally a career military man who views the heroes as [[You Rebel Scum|rabble]] and [[Just Following Orders|does not question orders]]. Has a high mortality rate [[You Have Failed Me...|where failure is concerned]]. More often than not he will look exactly like any other Mook, except that whilst all the other Mooks are wearing masks, [[Helmets Are Hardly Heroic|the Mook lieutenant will not.]]
"Lieutenant" here refers to the position of right hand man in general, rather than a specific rank.

* ''[[Cutthroat Island]]'': The British forces in Jamaica are led by Lieutenant Trotter throughout the film.

* ''[[Farscape]]'': Scorpius when on his peacekeeping command vessel discusses and gives orders to Captain Miklo Braca to give to the rest of his armada.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': In the episode "The Sontaran Stratagem", General Staal has his army on the ground led by Commander Skorr. Who promptly removes his helmet when he arrives.
* In ''[[Power Rangers SPD]],'' there are special, speaking blue [[Mecha-Mooks]] who command the standard silver ones. In ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]],'' there are a few isolated incidences of lone Styxoids (talking, staff-wielding [[Zombie Mooks]]) leading Hidiacs (babbling, hatchet-wielding standard [[Zombie Mooks]], though their acid-spitting power was a force to be reckoned with for about one episode.) but mostly those were a separate squad of [[Elite Mooks]].
