Line 120:
* Base from ''[[Star Trek: Millennium]]'', the galaxy's shortest and most angrily homicidal Ferengi.
* In [[Ian Fleming]]'s original novel of ''[[James Bond (novel)|Goldfinger]]'', the title character is depicted as one of these.

* ''Sisterhood'' series by [[Fern Michaels]]: Many times, a short male character will pop up and the author or one of the characters will say that the guy probably has a Napoleon Complex. This sort of character is portrayed as a [[Jerkass]] at best and a [[Complete Monster]] at worst by the author. At times this seems to go into the territory of [[Unfortunate Implications]].
* Horace Rangoon, the villain in ''The Rio Hondo Kid'' by [[J. T. Edson]].
Line 132:
* ''[[Top Gear]]'''s Richard "Hamster" Hammond, although he isn't actually ''very'' short. The Napoleon stuff comes from working with a "[[The Big Guy|seven foot oaf]]" who is [[Deadpan Snarker|big on the mockery]]. Nonetheless, at about 5'7", he's the smallest of the hosts and also probably the most [[Cluster F-Bomb|foul-mouthed]] and adventurous.
* ''[[El Chapulin Colorado]]'' can't get five minutes straight without being called "short" in a way or another, to the more insulting. The most memorables takes on it involve the famous "Pastillas de Chiquitolina" (Smallinium Pills), who can turn anyone who gulps them into [[Fun Size]].

* [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]] was recently accused of being one of these. [http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=230075&title=jons-napoleonic-complex He decided to grab the idea and run with it].
Line 205:
* Lord Stanley in ''[[Erfworld]]''. "I'll ignore one height crack. One."
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' has Dr. Beetle, who was one of most brilliant [[Mad Scientist|mad scientists]] around, but his little issues sped up his fall.
{{quote|
* While it's not too obvious because he's usually around people his own height or less, [[Homestuck|Doc Scratch]], [[The Man Behind the Man]] (behind the man behind the {{spoiler|end of the universe}}) is only about four feet tall.
* "[[No Name Given|Shorty]]" from ''[[Skullkickers]]'' is a [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|dwarf]] with a [[Hair-Trigger Temper]], described by the creators as being 'always one step away from and explosion of emotional rage'.
