* [[Darkseid]] in the DCAU is a bit more active than his comics counterpart, but he's still pretty passive for an evil alien tyrant. The final episode of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' has Darkseid coming back from the dead and so angry that he's decided being passive is for wimps. He immediately decides to invade Earth, and when an aide reminds him that New Genesis will retaliate, Darkseid tells him that's where he's going next after he's done turning Earth into rubble. |

* Zordrak of ''[[The Dreamstone]]'' is a gargantuan [[Eldritch Abomination]] who could probably trample the Land Of Dreams under his foot, let alone with any of his dark spells (such as the power to place his spirit into another being). For some reason however his duties rarely exceed sitting on his throne and chewing out his [[Harmless Villain|far less fearsome mooks]], the Urpneys, who he instead charges with the duty of stealing the title [[MacGuffin]] the large majority of the time. |

* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987]]''; For all his faults, Shredder does ''not'' have this problem. Krang, on the other hand, does. While a couple of episodes show he's more than capable of fighting physically, he rarely leaves the control room of the Technodrome, letting Shredder and the "gruesome twosome" do the dirty work. |

* [[Inspector Gadget]]'s foe Dr. Claw is the ''embodiment'' of this. The closest Gadget ever got to a face-to-face confrontation was the opening sequence of the show (and even then, it was a booby trap left by the villain). Other than that, Claw didn't seem to leave his dark control room or his fancy limousine for even a minute, where he directed the actions of his minions remotely, keeping the good guys — and the viewers — from even seeing his face. |
