Line 588:
** {{spoiler|Which explains why the room where the body was deposited was on fire}}...
* {{spoiler|[[Plot Armor]]}}: {{spoiler|She and Joker will survive the suicide mission no matter how poorly it goes for you}}.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: Not EDI herself, but if you [[All There in the Manual|read between the lines]] and look at the [[Expanded Universe]], {{spoiler|Dr. Eva, the robot whose body EDI takes over in the third game}}, is named after [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Eva_Coré another character] from
* {{spoiler|[[Required Party Member]]}}: {{spoiler|During the assault on the Cerberus base in the third game}}.
* [[Restraining Bolt]]: Initially limited to only cyber warfare activities during battle and monitoring by Cerberus programming blocks. {{spoiler|Joker eventually undoes them}}.
Line 745:
** [[Bad Boss]]: Just don't betray him. Just ask {{spoiler|Paul Grayson, who gets Reaper technology implanted into him}}. In the third game, {{spoiler|he uses Reaper technology to create an army of slaves, among other atrocities}}.
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: He's the second most recurring antagonist throughout the ''Mass Effect'' series, including the comics.
** {{spoiler|[[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Subverted despite what the characters believe. While Harbinger and Cerberus largely ignore a direct confrontation throughout most of ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', the Illusive Man took great steps to control the Reapers in the meantime: he ordered Henry Lawson to study indoctrination, buffed Cerberus to [[NGO Superpower]] status and modified himself with Reaper tech so he could use the Crucible. Once Harbinger finds out, the Reapers storm Sanctuary in a brief moment of [[Evil Versus Evil]]. However, that research ultimately led to the Illusive Man himself becoming indoctrinated (or strengthening it, since his eyes ''are'' Reaper tech). By the final confrontation, it's made clear that
** [[Non-Action Big Bad]]: In every appearance with him as an antagonist.
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|His cybernetic implants during the final confrontation}}.
Line 779:
* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: {{spoiler|As [[Magnificent Bastard|magnificent]] as he was, he was still way out of his league attempting to take control of the Reapers}}.
* [[Evil Mentor]]: Tries to be one to Shepard in ''Mass Effect 2'', though it's entirely up to the player whether or not Shepard actually follows him.
* [[Expy]]: The Illusive Man's development in ''Mass Effect 3'' is rather parallel to Saren's from the first game: they both are [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]] who crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] to deal with the reaper threat. {{spoiler|While Saren feels that he can work with the reapers to save all organic,
* [[Face Framed in Shadow]]: Although his facial features can occasionally be seen.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Sort of; at the same time he does express respect for the achievements of others, and he did save the turians from being enslaved by Desolas back before he founded Cerberus.
