Line 812:
* [[Adaptational Heroism]]: The tragic backstory is present in both versions (though it's not dwelt upon in the comics outside of a prequel), but even so, he's less evil than he is in the comics.
* [[Arc Villain]]: He serves as the main villain of Season 3, before returning to antagonize Rick's group in the eighth episode of Season 4.
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: It's implied that for killing his zombified daughter (and gouging out his eye, no less), he intends to torture Michonne to death. This persuades Michonne's best friend Andrea ''not'' to stay in Woodbury any longer. However, he eventually decides not to do so to Michonne, but he
* [[Creepy Souvenir]]: He keeps a bunch of severed heads in his personal chambers (which due to the zombie virus have reanimated) to help him cope with his fear of the walkers. Michonne breaks a few of the tanks but she isn't bitten.
* [[Exact Words]]: Strictly speaking, what he tells his fellow survivors (which were formerly led by Martinez) to persuade them to take the prison for themselves is true (such as them killing his daughter)...he just leaves out several details along the way, such as the fact that his daughter was a zombie.
Line 822:
** He rescues Meghan from the walkers, instead of simply trying to save himself. He does shoot her in the head without a trace of emotion once she's bitten by a walker and dies, but he likely didn't want to keep her around in her reanimated state like he did with his biological daughter.
** He does legitimately love Andrea, only turning on her when she attempts to kill him.
** He decides not to use the torture chair on Michonne...but he finds another use for it.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: What eventually leads to him killing his own military. The few survivors side with Rick, with the exception of Martinez.
* [[The Sociopath]]: In a way, he's even more horrifying than the walkers themselves. He won't eat people, but killing them is another story entirely.
Line 827 ⟶ 828:
* [[Would Hurt A Child]]: He won't harm his own children, but children in general are ''not'' off-limits. Ironically enough, he persuades his group of survivors that Rick and his group are willing to do this.
* [[Zombie Infectee]]: While he never becomes a zombie himself (courtesy of Lilly), he's well-aware that everyone in ''The Walking Dead'' is a zombie infectee, and he takes advantage of it at one point using Milton.
=== Negan ===
The leader of the Saviors.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: As opposed to Walking Dead toning down the Governor, AMC makes him worse than he was in the comics, such as having him kidnap Daryl and treat him like an animal. He still has redeeming qualities in both versions, however.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: He has a complex personality, but generally he's a scary man. And a deadly one too.
* [[Batter Up]]: His signature weapon is the baseball bat Lucille, which he named after his late wife. He generally keeps it with him wherever he goes.
* [[Pet The Dog]]: Instead of killing Carl for killing two of his men and for trying to kill him, he decides to show him around the Sanctuary instead.
=== Milton ===
