Line 146:
* Strangely enough, [[Big Bad|Dr. Eggman]] of all people in [[Sonic Chronicles]]. Throughout the game, he exhibits no comprehension of the difference between good and evil, and seems to think that Sonic and friends are merely stop him because it's ''fun''. It's [[Played for Laughs]]. This is at odds with his ordinary characterization, which ranges from [[Noble Demon]] to [[Card-Carrying Villain]], depending on the depiction. {{spoiler|Of course, this ''could'' just be [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]...}}
** {{spoiler|Most likely so, since putting the heroes at ease made it far easier for him to convince them to leave him alone while they went into the other dimension, giving him free reign to conquer the world unopposed. Which he did.}}
* Unlike his teammates, who know what they're doing is evil and are proud of it, Pyro from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' actually thinks he's being a friend to the BLU Team when he's actually killing them. Ironically, they seem to think that the Pyro is more evil than them.
* Subverted in ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', where [[GLaDOS]] at first seems to be malfunctioning, trying to maintain its original purpose while the tests have become a [[Death Course]] due to lack of maintenance. {{spoiler|When you go [[Off the Rails|off-track]] and destroy the first Personality Core, she reveals that she knows exactly what she's doing.}}
** On the other hand, Aperture's founder Cave Johnson fit this trope like a glove. At first he saw himself as a brave entrepeneur, doing slightly questionable experiments [[For Science!]]! Then when he started to fall ill, he named his beloved secretary as the head of the company- whether she wanted it or not. {{spoiler|He didn't seem to realise that she was terrified of the [[Brain Uploading]] process, or that the body he was putting Caroline into would turn her into the evil [[GLaDOS]]. The actor refused to even read the lines for that scene, but hers are in the game files and sound like she's being raped}}.
