Non-Action Big Bad: Difference between revisions

* Xanatos from ''[[Gargoyles]]'' starts out this way; he's a [[Magnificent Bastard]] to the bone, and surrounds himself with lots of [[Mecha-Mooks]] and a very dangerous [[Big Bad Duumvirate|partner]], Demona, but while a skilled fighter by human standards he's physically no match whatsoever for any gargoyle. [[Subverted Trope|He does, however, recognize this, and soon has a suit of]] [[Powered Armor]] [[Subverted Trope|made for himself that levels the playing field]].

* The Quintessons from ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' were an ancient race believed to have created Unicron, as well as the inhabitants of Cybertron. Evil by nature, they prefer subtle manipulation, scheming, and advanced technology over brute force, but if those don't work, they can fall back on the legion of deadly Sharkticons and Allicons at their command and a fleet of battle-ready spaceships as well. However, unlike the Decepticons, who relish the chance to fight their foes, the Quintessons themselves have no fighting abilities whatsoever, and are [[Dirty Coward|absolute cowards]] if they have nothing to hide behind.
