Line 395 ⟶ 398:
* [[All for Nothing]]: What Ms. Cale feels she'd done with all the years of [[Stalker Without a Crush|spying on Diana]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|tricking Ms. Minerva into becoming the Cheetah twice, turning her deceased friend into a killer A.I.]] while essentially [[Sympathy for Lady Vengeance|having been enslaved by a pair of despicable false gods]] in exchange for her daughters soul. Only to be cheated by the fact that she was as much bound to the island of warrior women as was the focus of Cale's exploits in villainy in the first place.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Ultimately her desire to be the ideal woman in the eyes of everyone everywhere is the driving force of her [[Driven to Villainy|scrutiny]] pre-Flashpoint.
* [[Big Bad Friend]]: Turned out to be this to her friend and business partner Leslie Anderson, when she [[The Scapegoat|pinned her]] for the creation of Silver Swan. andAnd all because her old college roommate [[Evil is Petty|chose to help out Wonder Woman]] in undoing Vanessa's transformation.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: Often on the receiving end of this due to having plenty of pull, reach and intellect, yet hideously lacking both real power as well as common sense. Adding- adding to the similarity vein between herself and Lex Luthor.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: A big money chief executive officer who flagrantly devotes her fortune and resources to larcenous ends out of sheer envy.
* [[The Dragon]]: Played with twice.
** [[The Dragon]]:first Played with twice in Wonder Woman Comics; the firstinstance isoccurs during the ''52'' evenevent, where Chang Tzu/Egg-Fu pressed her into his services on Oolong Island, whereand she winds up as his henchwoman/accomplice in engineering the revival of [[Ancient Evil|the Four Horsemen of Apokolips]] against her will.
** AndThe againsecond occurs in the ''Rebirth'' line, where hated Deimos & Phobos, the divine twin sons of Ares the God of War, employed Veronica Cale's assistance in subverting Wonder Woman's in orderefforts to find her lost homehomeland. WhichThis sub-sequentiallyland servedwas aswhere thetheir prisonfather ofAres theirwas fatheralso whichimprisoned, and they wished to locate so theyit couldand usurp his power for themselves.
* [[Dragon Ascendant]]: Deimos & Phobos would attempt to press-gang Cale into finding Diana's home for them by [[I Have Your Daughter|stealing Isadore's Soul]], but shirking the deal they had made with one of [[Underestimating Badassery|the smartest and wealthiest business owners]] of her time proved to be [[What an Idiot!|a calamitous mistake]]. As- they never believed she would rent out magic of her own to [[The Dog Bites Back|trap them into more servile forms]] until they released the child back ontoto her mother. EffectivelyFrom that point, Cale effectively takingtook full command of the Godwatch initiative she'd created to track Diana and discover the whereabouts of Themyscira for them.
* [[Expy]]: She's effectively Wonder Woman's version of Lex Luthor.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Surprising given her [[Lack of Empathy]] and [[Sociopath|insidious moral insanity]],. Veronica loved her mother enough to blackmail her deadbeat dad into loaning them enough cash to live life easier, - too bad momma died of cancer not too long afterwards. She even used to have a best friend whom helped her start the pharmaceutical conglomerate they build together,... that is, until Leslie offered her services in mending the psychologically damaged Silver Swan after Diana successfully talked her down.
** Played again in Rebirth withWhen her young daughter Isadore Cale. Whom had her soul stolen by the bastard sons of Ares [[Bastard Bastard|Deimos & Phobos]] toand useused as a bargaining chip to coerce her into helping them find Paradise Island, [[The Dog Bites Back|she found a way to turn the tables on them]]. She also deeply loved her business partner and best bud, Adrianna Anderson;, who killed herself using faulty cybernetic interfacing tech to try and siphon information from Wonder Woman's mind. Veronica [[Brain Uploading|patterned an A.I.]] after the mental engrams of her deceased friend, whom would later come to call herself Doctor Cyber.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Oddly. with Doc Magnus.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Subverted in the initial post crisisPost-Crisis imprint, as her main motivations was merely egocentrically driven jealousy towards someone whomanyone she deemed a threat to her Status Quoaspirations of being the one true Wonder Woman.
** Played straight in Rebirth given how [[Jerkass Gods]] stole her daughters life from her and she blamed Diana for bringing her brand of pagan craziness into her and Adriana's lives because of it.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Her motivation for loathing Wonder Woman is essentially this. Wonder Woman is an immortal superpowerful princess who can talk to animals while Veronica had to work her way up from being white trash.
Line 514 ⟶ 518:
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Either Diana joins her as part of the Morrigan, allowing Nemesis to [[Kill'Em All]], or [[You Kill It, You Bought It|Diana kills her and is forced into the position herself.]] Either way Nemesis gets what she wants.}}
