As the term suggests, evil geniuses are characters of great intelligence who choose to use their knowledge for antisocial ends. To qualify as an evil genius, one must use cunning to craft complex plots that cause havoc and destruction; criminal tendencies are a must. Their schemes often hinge on mundane details that heroes can exploit, foiling their plots at the climax of the story.

Origins

Evil geniuses have commonly had difficult childhoods. They may have been orphans or witnessed their parents' horrible deaths. Ironically, this is often the origin of many superheroes. Normally, this is used to contrast them from superheroes. It implies that there is nothing different from the hero, and the villain, except a single choice. When humor is involved they are often simply the victim of bullying. Evil geniuses normally come from poor or impoverished backgrounds but have fought their way to the top and put on an aura of sophistication so that no one will suspect their humble beginnings. Examples included Lex Luthor, Herod Sayle, Lord Voldemort or even Miranda Priestly. This is not always the case however. The references in this article would be clearer with a different and/or consistent style of citation, footnoting or external linking. ...

Characteristics

The evil genius is different from the mad scientist, in that the mad scientist tends to be amoral, rather than evil. An Evil Genius is generally a clever schemer, while the Mad Scientist typically pursues scientific knowledge with no regard for the consequences. A mad scientist might create an army of zombies, just to see if it is possible, but an evil genius would have a diabolical use for this army, and a plan to escape the town without being killed (a reason for which mad scientists are often found in the employ or working in concert with an evil genius). Caucasian, male, aging, crooked teeth, messy hair, lab coat, spectacles/goggles, dramatic posing — one popular stereotype of a mad scientist. ...


Hubris is a common characteristic among evil geniuses, so much so that they often boast of their grand designs to their adversary, or otherwise compromise their plots in a moment of overconfidence. Their excuse for this fatal grandstanding is often that only the hero can appreciate the Genius's plan. These characters often award themselves professional or royal-sounding titles like "Doctor", "Baron", or "The Magnificent", or even some combination of titles. Hubris or hybris (Greek ), according to its modern usage, is exaggerated self pride or self-confidence, often resulting in fatal retribution. ...

Getting good help

Evil geniuses frequently employ inept henchmen, who equally frequently help foil their plans, whether intentionally or not. The word Henchman referred originally to one who attended on a horse, that is, a groom. ...


Conversely, evil geniuses just as frequently employ a highly competant and trusted lieutenant (or similar analogue) who will eventually (A) be defeated by the hero (despite the lieutenant's ostensibly superior skill and/or intellect), (B) ally themselves with the hero, or (C) betray the evil genius at the last minute in order to save themselves or usurp their master's position. The trusted lieutenant sometimes has a bizarre gimmick that they use against the hero in the final battle (see Oddjob and Jaws). For the Analog Science Fiction and Science Fact publication, see Astounding Magazine. ... From the Greek , in mythology and folklore, a hero (male) or heroine (female) usually fulfills the definitions of what is considered good and noble in the originating culture. ...
