Line 129:
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]
* [[Healing Factor]]: A side-effect of his powers.
* [[Hero -Killer]]: He once set up Wally West to fall into a [[Death Trap]] that resulted in Wally getting shot through the heart (he got better).
* [[I Want Grandkids]]: He has pressured his daughter Scandal to provide him with grandchildren. She refuses because (a) he likely wants them simply as a [[Guinea Pig Family]], and (b) she's a lesbian anyway.
* [[The Illuminati]]: He's the leader of the DC Comics version.
Line 156:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Self-explanatory.
* [[Morality Pet]]: The Ray served as one for him for a while. Savage came to view Ray almost like a son, and would fight off other super villains to protect him. He even offered his soul to the Devil in place of Ray's in what's probably his biggest [[Pet the Dog]] moment to date.
* [[My Grandson, Myself]]: In the ''Justice League'' episode "Maid of Honor," he claims to be Vandal Savage '''III'''--the grandson of the Vandal Savage the Justice League met in "The Savage Time." Of course, [[Wonder Woman]] doesn't buy it.
* [[Name of Cain]]: The Religion of Crime worship him as the reincarnation of the Biblical first murderer, and [[Lex Luthor]] says there is evidence that Vandal was the first cannibal.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Well, with a name like '''Vandal Savage,''' what else would you expect?
Line 194:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Has quite a few. When he finally kills Resurrection Man for good in [[DC One Million]], he says, "Goodbye, old friend."
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: And he has.
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Yes, he would, whether to [[Guinea Pig Family|upgrade his own immortality]] or to [[Hero -Killer|murder a superhero]].
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Under [[Christopher Priest]], Savage was better at this than the [[Trope Namer]]. And this was while he was going up against guys like [[Genius Bruiser|Martian Manhunter]], [[Insufferable Genius|Triumph]], and [[The Smart Guy|L-Ron]], among others.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]
