Forget Disney Princesses. It seems that the characters that stick in the viewer's minds are the villains. Because let's face it, whether they're terrifying, hilarious, appealing (either because they're evil or despite it) or just plain dominate the scene, Disney makes some damn fine baddies.
General[]
Disney Animated Canon[]
(Evil) Queen Grimhilde[]
 |
"...a special sort of death for one so fair." |
 |
- All There in the Script: Her name, Grimhilde, was given in early publicity materials, including a Comic Strip Adaptation. The Disney Company tends to forget/ignore this fact nowadays, though.
- Big Bad
- Dangerously Genre Savvy: "I'll be fairest in the land! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... But wait! There may be an antidote! Nothing must be overlooked!"
- Disproportionate Retribution: Snow White is the fairest in the land... so she wants to kill her.
- Fairest of Them All
- God Save Us From the Queen
- Karmic Disney Villain Death
- No Name Given
- Vain Sorceress
- Vile Villain Saccharine Show
- Wicked Stepmother
Honest John[]
Stromboli[]
The Coachman[]
|
"Give a bad boy enough rope, and he'll soon make a jackass of himself." |
|
- Ambiguously Human
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"
- Fascinating Eyebrow
- Karma Houdini (though you do get to fight him and give him a Disney Villain Death in the Super Nintendo game)
- Slasher Smile
- Talking to Himself: Charles Judels also voiced Stromboli.
- Whip It Good
- Would Hurt a Child: Transformed into donkeys, but...
Lampwick[]

- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Slavic for "black god"(read: devil)
- Satan
- Sealed Evil in a Can: A timed can, but a can nonetheless
Man[]
- Egomaniac Hunter: Very likely.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: In an early draft for the film, there was a scene planned in which Bambi's dad showed Bambi the charred corpse of Man, as an aesop for Bambi to learn not even Man could escape death's clutches. Thankfully Walt Disney found it too graphic and cut it.
- In the original, there is the underlying implication the hunters did not survive the forest fire.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen: It's commonly commented on that he/they is/are (one of) Disney's most hated villains, but he/they isn't/aren't so much a person as well as an evil, eerie presence.
- Justified; Bambi was shot from an animal's point of view. Looking man into the eyes would be certain death for most of them.
- Nothing Is Scarier: Could be counted as Trope Maker, at least for the Disney Animated Canon.
- Villain by Default: And according to the other wiki, real-life hunters openly criticized Bambi when it was released, for villifying them and insulting the American sportsmanship of hunting.
- True, shooting animals can be viewed as Kick the Dog at worst and morally fault-free at best, but the hunters in Bambi actually sent packs of bloodthirsty hounds after animals, implying they weren't hunting for food, but for the pleasure of seeing animals being ripped apart. Oh, and let's not forget they actually lit a whole forest on fire by carelessly setting up their camp..

- Cruel Mercy: She could have easily killed Prince Phillip without turning into a dragon; this is her reason.
- Disproportionate Retribution: She wants Aurora dead because the King and Queen didn't invite her to a birthday party. Talk about someone who hates to be snubbed.

"What makes you think anyone would want a homely little girl like you?" |
|
- Bad Boss
- Cool Boat

- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown - Memorable enough to provide the page image
- Offstage Villainy - "From the brain that brought you the Big Ben Caper ... and wondrous things like the Tower Bridge Job..."

|
Voiced by: Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin and Jim Cummings |
|

- The Brute: Ed.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Ed.
- Comic Trio
- Dark Chick: Shenzi. She also seems to be The Dragon.
- The Dog Bites Back
- Equal Opportunity Evil
- Evil Genius: Banzai.
- The Hyena: All three of them, obviously, but Ed is this especially, as all of his "dialogue" consists of him laughing.
- Mook Face Turn
- Terrible Trio
- Villain Song: They and the other Hyenas act as backup singers for "Be Prepared", though its mostly for Scar. The cut reprise would've been more of a Villain Song for the Hyenas.
Zira[]
|
"I now see the path to our glorious return to power!" |
|
- Abusive Mother
- Avenging the Villain
- Ax Crazy (MUCH less composed than Scar)
- The Chessmaster

Governor Ratcliffe[]
|
"I'll need those witless peasants to dig up my gold." |
|
- Badass Cape: Part of his outfit in "Savages".
- Bavarian Fire Drill: Waging war against the natives. Sure, Smith was in very real mortal peril (although there was no way Pocahontas was going to let him die) but Ratcliffe actually didn't give a rat's ass about Smith's life. In fact, he wanted to rid himself of Smith.
- Also, he ordered for anyone who wouldn't shoot a native at sight to be hanged for treason. So by his own laws, Smith would have to be considered a bloody traitor.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Color Coded for Your Convenience: Wears purple, and later, dark red-shining black. Though the purple is at least a bit ironic, since that was the color for nobility and royalty.
- Greed
- Evil Counterpart: To Powhatan. Both are commanders of a group of warriors and both have someone prone to overshadowing them (Smith for Ratcliffe, Kocoum for Powhatan). What really sets Ratcliffe apart from Powhatan is his motivation; greed and expansion as opposed to preservation and protection.
- Evil Is Petty: A xenophobic and horrifyingly racist, elitist bastard.. and also a bully to Thomas.
- Evil Is Stylish
- Faux Affably Evil: Oh, so much.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Well, if your Get Rich Quick Scheme was to find gold in Virginia.. yeah.

- Ironic Echo: "And he came so highly recommended." Ratcliffe says it of Wiggins after perceiving the latter to be inept; Wiggins utters the very same line tearfully after seeing Ratcliffe being taken away for his crimes.
- It's All About Me: "This is MY land! I make the rules here!" ..Even though he did absolutely nothing besides shooting Nanutek.
- Jerkass Woobie: Somewhat redeems himself with his worries about the Virginia Company being his last chance at fame and glory.
- And then destroys it completely by still wanting to kill the Indians after it has been proven to him a hundred times that there is no gold.
- Large and In Charge
- Moral Event Horizon: Crosses it by trying to shoot Chief Powhatan, in-universe. For the audience, he could have crossed the line way earlier for his disregard of other cultures and their significance, but to be fair.. every single British person in the movie thought like that.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Ratcliffe. Ironically, his real-life counterpart did bear that name.
- Politically-Incorrect Villain
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: To Thomas.
|
Ratcliffe: Oh, and Thomas... you've been a slipshod sailor and a poor excuse for a soldier. Don't disappoint me again. |
|
- Sissy Villain: "Remember when Disney used to make COOL villains?"
- Smug Snake: Overconfident? Check. Sarcastic? Check. Not that much of a villain? Double check..
- Talking to Himself: He and Wiggins were both voiced by David Ogden Stiers.
- Villain Song: Mine, Mine, Mine and most of Savages.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Doubles for a Zero-Percent Approval Rating. While his men and underlings greatly trust and admire him at least at first, everyone in the palace, as Wiggins denotes, thinks of him as a pathetic social climber, whose last chance of glory is a semi-prestitious journey they actually deem doomed to fail. Ratcliffe even fantasizes about proving those "royal backstabbers" wrong by returning with eons of gold.
- The Unfavourite: Of all Disney Renaissaince villains.
Judge Claude Frollo[]

- Lust Makes You Evil
- Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny: He mentions that he's especially proud of "his virtue" and begins going over the edge when he realizes he's hot for a member of the ethnic group he's trying to exterminate.
- Manipulative Bastard
- Stalker with a Crush
- Straight Edge Evil
- Torture Technician: "Ease up! Wait between lashes. Otherwise the old pain will dull him to the new."

- Scarily Competent Tracker
- Villain Song: Averted, Shan Yu one of the few official Disney Villains (technically, there isn't such as they're all included in the franchise) not to have one. Probably because it doesn't even suit him at all.
Clayton[]
|
"I was made for Africa, and Africa was made for me!" |
|
- Bottomless Magazines
- Egomaniac Hunter
- Family-Unfriendly Death/Hoist by His Own Petard: We actually HEAR his neck snapping!
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Possibly averted, He's shown smoking a pipe in several scenes, but considering the time period it doesn't really serve as an indicator of villainy.

- Surrounded by Idiots: Or rather one idiot, Kronk. But the effect is the same.
- Treacherous Advisor
- Villainous Valor: During the last fight. Not even the risk of dying by falling 100 feet down from a building, or turning into a small cat will stop her.

- Eldritch Abomination: Amazingly for a Disney film, his Friends on The Other Side may count.
- Faux Affably Evil
- Evil Counterpart: To Mama Odie.
- Evil Is Stylish
- Evil Laugh
- Evil Sorceror
- Family-Unfriendly Death: ARE YOU READY?!
- Foil: He and Prince Naveen have racked up loads of debts and are running out of time to pay...
- Also, he and Tiana both have their goals and it's implied that both have been dumped on plenty by society. Tiana reaches her goal by hard work. Facilier takes the easy way out and winds up in debt with demons.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: It's Goliath!
- And Captain Anderson!
- Jackass Genie
- Large Ham: In classic Disney fashion.
- Lean and Mean
- Literal Genie
- Living Shadow
- Magic A Is Magic A
- Manipulative Bastard
- The Man Behind the Man: It's pretty clear that the "Friends" on the "Other Side" are the real power behind Facilier.
- Meaningful Name: His name is a pun on the French word "facile" for "easy" indicative of how he always offers the easy way out to his clients (or how he tries to take it for himself).
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast
- No Self-Buffs: He can't directly help himself with magic, so he works schemes through others.
- Oh Crap

Mother Gothel[]
|
"Look in that mirror. Do you know what I see? I see a strong, confident, beautiful young lady. Oh, look, you're here too!" |
|
- Abusive Parents: Emotional abuse to Rapunzel.
- Action Mom
- Badass Normal: In the movie and amongst most of the other villains in this folder. She has no magical power other than some hinted healing ability (which she still needs an outside source for), only has two hulking henchmen whom she later betrays and beats up at that, and her only weapon is a knife.
- Badass Abnormal: If you want to count her magically-obtained immortality, though even then, it was dependent on Rapunzel rather than her own power.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing
- Family-Unfriendly Death: One that combines the traditional Disney Villain Death with disintegration.
- Immortality Seeker
- Kick The Chameleon
- Knife Nut
- Lady in Red
- Mama Bear: In a way...
- Manipulative Bitch: How many Disney villains can convince the heroine to obey her because she's her mother?
- My Beloved Smother

- Sitcom Arch Nemesis

The Big Bad Wolf[]
The Mad Doctor[]
The Nazis[]
The Phantom Blot[]
|
"The late Mickey Mouse... Ooh, I like the sound of that." |
|
- Dangerously Genre Savvy: In some continuities. House Of Mouse, in particular had him actually try to kill the heroes in his first appearance onscreen, of course, it was a James Bond type of trap, but the next time, he tries to make sure that they can't survive a fall. And his final plan involved hijacking the machine that gave the characters clues as to where the villain was, or who they were, making sure they didn't know what to do.
- Depending on the Writer: Is he a Large Ham? Is he a Card-Carrying Villain? A Complete Monster?
- Diabolical Mastermind
- Evil Sorcerer: In Wizards of Mickey
- Large Ham
- The Un-Reveal: His face is never really seen. But Subverted in his first appearance, where he is unmasked, having a thin mustache and a gaunt face according to That Other Wiki, apparently, his appearance was also based on Walt Disney himself.
- A lot of other writers seem to have Retconned his true face as being unknown. This Troper has read one story where it is vaguely implied that his real identity is in fact Goofy.
- Wizards of Mickey inverts it, with the Blot never using the cloaked diguise until later though it's more him becoming an inky monster similar to the approach in Epic Mickey
The Beagle Boys[]
- Appropriated Appellation
- Card-Carrying Villain
- Characterization Marches On (In the Beagle Boys' early appearances, they actually represented a threat to Scrooge and Donald Duck. Today they are incompetent buffoons who are usually easily thwarted.)
- Not all the time. Italian-produced comics make them buffoons, but quite a number of Egmont and Dutch-produced stories feature the Beagles being quite menacing with the point typically being that while just a few Beagles are fairly inept by themselves, a large number can be quite effective crooks.
- Their threat seems to be directly propotional on how many of thema re working together. Usual trio plus granpa usualy are not much of a threat, but when the entire Bealge clan sets it's eyes on Scrooge...
- Depending on the Writer (Just how many Beagle Boys exist is very inconsistent. They are commonly shown three at a time, but in Don Rosa's stories, there are seven of them (who are occasionally aided by their much smarter grandfather, Blackheart). Some authors show the Beagle Boys to be all over the world in some form or another. Their relationship is also somewhat inconsistent. They are usually seen as being brothers, but according to Don Rosa they are actually a group of brothers and cousins.)
- Distaff Counterpart: The Beagle Babes.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas (In DuckTales, at least. The closest thing to Ma Beagle in the comics is their grandfather or, occasionally, Granny Beagle.)
- Harmless Villain
- Murder, Inc.
- Paper-Thin Disguise (The Beagle Boys constantly wear black masks that only serve to make them more recognizable, since they never, ever take them off, not even when they are actually trying to disguise themselves. Let alone the prisoner's numbers on their chests.)
- Theme Naming: In the cartoon, they all have names beginning with the letter B.
- Villain Protagonist (There are plenty of comic stories with the Beagle Boys as the main focus, often showing them trying to rob someone other than Scrooge for a change.)
- Villain Song: "Boogie Beagle Blues"
- You Are Number Six: In the comics, they only referred to each other by their prison numbers.
- Lampshaded in Don Rosa comic where Beagle boys get their hands on Scrooges lairs blueprints. One of them found complete biograpghy of Beagle Boys and decides to check if it has his name because "my mommy never told be, only used to say..."
Flintheart Glomgold[]
|
Voiced by: Hal Smith |
|
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Depending on the Writer (He is sometimes shown living in Duckburg and being a member of Scrooge's Billionaire Club rather than living in South Africa.)
- Et Tu, Brute? (see "The Terror of the Transvaal")
- Evil Counterpart/Foil/Shadow Archetype (Glomgold's whole character can be described as what kind of person Scrooge would be like if he never even tried to make his fortune square. Not to mention his lack of relatives and allies in comparison to Scrooge's large group of family and friends.)
- Humiliation Conga (He gets these in "The Last Lord of El Dorado", "The Terror of the Transvaal" and "A Little Something Special." Don Rosa seems to be fond of putting him through these.)
- My Name Is Not Durwood (In the DuckTales episode "Attack of the Metal Mites", Dijon could never pronounce his name correctly.)
- The Rival
- Self-Made Man
Magica De Spell[]
|
"Sorry, I get carried away." |
|
- Arch Enemy
- Chaste Toons: She has a niece named Minima in the comics.
- Depending on the Writer (Just how much power Magica has varies between writers. Carl Barks and Don Rosa generally showed her as not having any genuine magical abilities on her own, but merely using magical trinkets, but many other writers show her as a powerful witch in her own right and interacting with many other powerful witches.)
- Evil Sorceress
- Failure Is the Only Option
- Flanderization: How many people remember that her spell originally just required coins in general from various rich people? Barks himself feared this would happen.
- Foe Yay
- Hey, It's That Voice!" June Foray provided the character's voice in animation and video games, and as a result, she sounds just like Natasha Fatale.
- Implacable Man
- Older Hero vs. Younger Villain
- Surveillance as the Plot Demands: When bored, she spends her free time spying on Scrooge in her crystal ball.
- Stalker with a Crush: See above. Common fan explanation for the above Flanderization as well.
- Villain Team-Up: With Negaduck in the Boom Kids Darkwing Duck comic book.
- Witch with a Capital B: Used frequently in DuckTales.

Demona[]
- Big Bad
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With Xanatos.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Cursed with Awesome: Twice. First when she's linked to Macbeth's life so neither can die except at the hand of the other. There is a fairly hefty downside, but still. Then, Puck gives her a parting "gift" of human form during the day. She's angry at first, but it's a big help for her nefarious plans.

- Face Heel Turn: in her Backstory.
- Fantastic Racism
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Deanna Troi and Matriarch Benezia.
- Ignored Epiphany: Writ large.
- Kill All Humans
- Knight Templar: Subverted. Demona seems to think she's trying to wipe out humanity because humans are Always Chaotic Evil, but nearly everybody else can tell that she's lashing out at the world in general in her pain. The fact that she's completely incapable of recognizing this is a big part of what makes her such a strangely pitiable villain
- Lady Macbeth: Shades of this in her relationships with Goliath, Macbeth, and even Xanatos. Inverted with her relationship with Thailog, as he's far more straightforwardly evil and is really using her to advance his own ends.
- Magic Knight: She uses her powerful magic (she's probably the strongest mortal mage in the show, not counting the Archmage's enhanced form) and formidable combat skills about evenly.
- Mama Bear: Would rather pull an Enemy Mine than let Angela be hurt.

Doctor Jacques von Hamsterviel[]
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz[]
"I will now destroy this article with my TV Tropes page ruinator!"
|
"When it comes to havoc, nobody wreaks like me!" |
|
- Abusive Parents: He had a pair, played for laughs. Note that this does not apply to Doofenshmirtz himself, who if anything tries too hard with his daughter Vanessa.
- Affably Evil
- Amusing Injuries
- Anti-Villain
- Beware the Silly Ones: As shown in Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo
- His slave-turning inventions in Bubble Boys and Phineas and Ferb's Musical Cliptastic Countdown are rather silly, but apparently effective.
- Beyond the Impossible: Both his parents managed not to show up to his own birth. He also managed to throw himself a surprise party. And that's not even getting into his magic act.
- Butt Monkey
- Bumbling Dad: To Vanessa
- Card-Carrying Villain
- Catch Phrase: "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"
- Chaotic Stupid: He thinks he's evil but he's really just this.
- Chaste Toons: Averted--he had a wife (divorced) and has joint-custody of his teenaged daughter.
- Creator Cameo: Voiced by Dan Povenmire, one of the creators of the show
- Disproportionate Retribution: Many of his schemes were influenced by stuff that happened to him as a kid.
- Evil Gloating
- Evil Is Petty: All of his Evil Plans. One of them involved mind controlling pidgeons to poop on his older brother.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Subverted few times when he successfully achieved his "evil" goals (Making mountain out of the mole hill and getting rid of the lighthouse), but 99,9% times played straight.
- Foe Yay: With Perry.
- Freudian Excuse: Has a different one in many episodes.
- Friendly Enemy
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
- Informed Attractiveness: Inverted. He's been established as not a very good looking guy(even when he got hit by his 'ugly-inator', it does nothing to him). However, he has a long history with dating women(at least three were confirmed)-not very successful, but proves some things.
- The most obvious point is that he was married, and has a beautiful daughter.
- Harmless Villain
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood
- Kavorka Man
- Large Ham
- Literal Minded: His schemes include: Using Norm the Giant Robot Man, because "The enemy of a platypus is man", Making mountain out of the mole hill by enlarging moles and leaving giant carbon footprint via making giant foot of the carbon paper
- Mad Scientist
- And he has a beautiful daughter, too.
- Morality Pet: Vanessa. He really does try to be a good father.
- Multiple Choice Past: Not all his stories about his childhood fit with each other, especially the one where he was raised by ocelots.
- My Name Is Not Durwood (in "Ain't No Kiddie Ride".)
- Overprotective Dad: In his and Monogram's DVD commentary for "The Chronicles of Meap", he mentions that he doesn't trust Ferb and therefore dislikes the idea of him dating Vanessa.
- In "Vanessassary Roughness" some random biker hits on her, apparently thinking that she was older and Doofenshmirtz was her boyfriend. Doof simply yelled "SHE'S SIXTEEN!" and teleported him to another dimension.
- Pet The Cat: Perceived when he saves a cat, and later adopts another one and then gives it back to its real owner. (It had been causing him so much trouble that he had to get rid of it anyway, and then the kid came up to him...)
|
"I'm going to have to do the right thing, aren't I?" |

- Poke the Poodle
- Punch Clock Villain

- The Unfavorite
- Unfortunate Names: "Doof" is German for "Stupid".
- Villain Song: Plenty of them.
- Villain With An F In Evil
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Even if he knows she's really a male platypus.
Suzy Johnson[]
|
"I am, and always will be Jeremy's favorite girl!" |
|
- Annoying Younger Sibling
- Big Brother Attraction: Creeepy!
- Creepy Child: Though only Candace and Buford recognize her as one.
- Deliberately Cute Child
- Enemy Mine: Sort of, Candace once has to babysit her and the two of them wind up teaming up to try and get Phineas and Ferb to bust themselves.
- Enfant Terrible
- Ping-Pong Naivete: In most of the episodes which feature her, she's frighteningly intelligent, manipulative, and (in a way) mature. Then, in Nerds of a Feather, she gets frightened by an Alien-esque exhibit and seeks a hug from a cuddly costumed character from her favorite cartoon.
- Punch Clock Villain: When Suzy doesn't have the opportunity to embarrass Candace in front of Jeremy, she's acting civil towards her. She even uses the phrase "I'm off the clock".
- Yandere: Take that Big Brother Attraction and make it creepy and you have Suzy in a nut shell.
The Drill Sergeant[]
Voiced by: Clancy Brown
- All Just a Dream
- Big Bad
- Disney Villain Death: Thank you, Perry.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: However, he acts more like an Evil Overlord than a drill sergeant.
- Evil Feels Good: He calls Phineas and Ferb his "greatest success stories".
- Hey, It's That Voice!: It's Mr. Krabs!.
- Clancy Brown also played a sadistic prision guard in The Shawshank Redemption.
- Knight of Cerebus
- No Name Given
- Oh Crap: He and his dogs get one when Perry is about to knock them into the ravine.
- Right-Hand Attack Dog: He has a pack of hounds go after Candace and the boys when they attempt to escape.
- Surrounded by Idiots: When he tries to prove his guards about Candace's Paper-Thin Disguise, he puts it on himself. They buy it.
- Vile Villain Saccharine Show
- Villain Ball: If he keeps the true colors of Smile-Away a secret, why does he show them on a talk show on national television? Wouldn't a parent (or Candace) see what was happening to their loved ones and try to get them out?
- Would Hit a Girl: Implied.
|
They're mine...and so are you! |
|
- Would Hurt a Child: He sprays the boys with water whenever they attempt to reach their tools and sentences them to a Clockwork Orange-esque brainwashing.
Queen La[]
Live-action films[]
Judge Doom[]
|
"Remember me, Eddie?! When I killed your brother, I talked just... like... THIIISSS!" |
|
- All There in the Manual: According to The Resurrection of Doom (a sequel graphic novel published a year after the movie's release), his real name is Baron Von Rotten, and he was a Toon who frequently played cartoon villains until an accident on the set rendered him thinking he was truly villainous.
- Ambiguously Human
- Ax Crazy
- Badass in a Nice Suit: A black fedora, a black trenchcoat and don't forget the cane which has a sword hidden inside it.
- Bad Boss: He generally slaps the Weasels around
- Big Bad
- Conspicuous Trenchcoat
- Fantastic Racist: Really looks down on toons, even his henchmen despite (or because of) being one himself
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Doom. Do I need to say more? ...I thought so.
- Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: If you didn't freak out when he killed that adorable Toon shoe or when he revealed his Toon form and almost punched the fillings out of Eddie you definedly were a Creepy Child
- Hanging Judge
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Created "Dip", a concoction of turpentine that could actually kill toons at the slightest touch. At the climax he gets spray with it and melted into nothing.
- Sinister Shades
- Toon
Hector Barbossa[]
|
"Now you see, Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead!" |
|
- Affably Evil
- Heel Face Revolving Door: To the point of Wild Card status, but without Captain Jack's guarantee of doing the right thing in the end.
- Anti-Hero: A Type V in the third movie. More a Type IV in the fourth.
- Anti-Villain: In the first movie.
- Cool Sword: In the fourth movie, two of them. Firstly, he poisons his usual weapon to give him the edge against Blackbeard due to losing his leg in their first encounter. After this gambit pays off, he takes the Sword of Triton as well as the Queen Anne's Revenge as the prize, gaining with it many of Blackbeard's magical powers.
- Death by Irony
- Death Is Cheap
- The Dragon: In the fourth, he becames this to King George II. Although, he doesn't want to work for him at all, and the only reason he agreed to look for the fountain is because he wants to find Blackbeard, and have his revenge on him.
- Dual-Wielding: During his fight with Blackbeard, he dual wields his poisoned sword and crutch! It pays off for a while, then he loses the crutch and nicks him with the blade while he's otherwise distracted.
- Disproportionate Retribution: (Says Barbossa.)
- Enemy Mine: Pretty much his whole role in the third movie consists of teaming up with Will, Elizabeth, and Jack (all of whom he has reason to hate) to stop Beckett. He does seem to have at least parted with the former two on friendly terms, but convinced Jack's crew to mutiny (again) to help him go after the Fountain of Youth. But even then, this time he leaves Jack in Tortuga with wenches rather than on a deserted island alone. Does this once again in On Stranger Tides, where he teams up with Jack for a chance at Blackbeard, who took the Pearl.
- Epic Fail: Barbossa and his big ideas...
- Evil Counterpart: To Jack. The writers' and director's audio commentary for Curse of the Black Pearl at one point refers to Barbossa as "the dark side of Jack Sparrow".
- Evil Laugh
- Handicapped Badass: Loses a leg in On Stranger Tides, though is still a very effective combatant.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Part of the reason Barbossa loses in the first film. He does it again in the third film with bad results.
- I Gave My Word (Though only the letter, not the spirit)
- Large Ham: His attempt at getting Calypso back to goddess form: "CA-LYP-SO! I RELEASE you from your human bonds!!" If that's how a lover says those words, one wonders how many ladies went deaf after meeting Barbossa.
- Ham-to-Ham Combat: "NO! WHAT ARRRRRRRR YE DOING?!"
- Life or Limb Decision: The reason why he has a peg leg in movie 4. Blackbeard took the Pearl from him and did his thing that made the ship attack the sailors, with the result that Barbossa's leg was caught in the rigging. He sliced it off to show he was master of his own fate.
- Meaningful Name: Barbossa can be read as Latin for "Bony Beard".
- Not in This For Your Revolution: Implied in regards to his "loyalties" to the crown. He doesn't actually care about preventing the Spaniards from using the Fountain of Youth as much as he only worked with the British navy as an excuse to exact revenge on Blackbeard for the latter stealing the Black Pearl which also cost him his leg.
- Not So Different: In the fourth movie, Barbossa gets to experience exactly what it felt like to Jack Sparrow when he marooned the latter and stole the Black Pearl in the first film, and desiring revenge against him.
- Pet the Dog: Becomes this in the third movie. Shows open sadness at the passing of the Age of Piracy, gently consoles Jack Sparrow as he realizes meeting with the Brethren Court is the only way to ensure their freedom, and graciously marries Will and Elizabeth during battle. Leaves Will and Elizabeth on good terms, and maroons Jack Sparrow at Tortuga with wenches, rather than on an abandoned desert island.
- Pride
- Privateer: In the fourth movie. It turns out he "sold out" to the Crown only to get a chance to make even with Blackbeard, and he tears his letter of marque at the end.
- Rules Lawyer: Moreso than any other character, and it blows up in his face.
- Screw Destiny: Makes several statements along these lines in the third and fourth films.
- The Starscream: Barbossa to Jack before the events of the first film.
- Surrounded by Idiots: Barbossa's temptingly simple schemes tend to attract morons.
- Talk Like a Pirate
- Trademark Favorite Food: Apples.
- Villain Protagonist: Movies 3 and 4.
- Warrior Poet: Well spoken and eloquent (for a pirate), show open sadness at the passing of the Age of Piracy symbolized by the death of The Kraken, and is romantic (or at least, gracious) enough to be genuinely happy for "Mrs Turner" AKA Elizabeth in the aftermath of the final battle and marrying her with Will.
Cutler Beckett[]
|
"It's nothing personal, Jack. It's just good business." |
|
- Angst Coma
- Aristocrats Are Evil: Lord Cutler Beckett, is it now?
- Big Bad
- Catch Phrase ("It's just good business")
- The Chessmaster (Word of God confirms he's one of, if not the, smartest characters in the series. As of the end of Dead Man's Chest, he's holding all the cards.)
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Did You Actually Believe?
- Evil Brit: He's stereotypically (and inaccurately for the time period) English enough that he stands out in a cast of English, and other British, characters.
- Evil Gloating
- Famous Last Words: "It was just... good business..."
- Gory Discretion Shot : After the explosion on HMS Endeavour, we see from the water-perspective how his surprsingly still-in-one-piece body falls onto a EITC flag (that is floating in the water), where we can see his silhouette. Fortunately, we never see his body directly, because seeing what kind of explosion it was, it probably wouldn't be a pretty sight.
- Horrible Judge of Character
- Knight of Cerebus: Unlike Barbossa, Beckett is played completely straight and never for laughs; when he takes center stage in the third film, it's worked in as part of the transition to the epic format.
- The Man Behind the Man
- Manipulative Bastard ("And so you see, Mr. Mercer, every man has a price he will willingly accept- even for that which he hoped never to sell.")
- The Napoleon: Being teeny-weeny doesn't stop Beckett from trying to take over the Caribbean and beyond.
- Non-Action Big Bad: While Beckett is allegedly a skilled duellist, he seems to consider actually getting his own hands dirty to be beneath him, and always works through his minions in the films.
- Noodle Incident: His first run-in with Captain Jack Sparrow, wherein he branded Sparrow a pirate and was given an unmentioned mark in return. The films never elaborate on what went down between Sparrow and Beckett.
- It has, however, been explained elsewhere. When Jack was working for the East India Trading Company, Beckett ordered him to deliver a cargo of slaves. Jack set them free instead. "People ain't cargo, mate." This unauthorized disposal of Company 'property' gave Beckett grounds to brand Jack as a pirate, forcing him into an outlaw lifestyle. What mark Jack left on Beckett is a blank for the audience to fill in- Beckett's expression when asked about it indicates it's a touchy subject.
- Odd Name Out merged with Names to Run Away From Really Fast: By the standards that the other characters have normal 17th-18th century names Cutler isn't a name you'd expect to run to. Now, replace the 'l' with another 't' and read his name again.
- Reality Subtext : The real life British East India Company was The Aggressive Drug Dealer that introduced opium to China.
- Rules Lawyer
- Smug Snake
- Villainous BSOD: "It's just good business..."
- Wicked Cultured
- Would Hurt a Child
Davy Jones[]
|
"Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?" |
|
- Anti-Villain
- Badass Beard: 'Natch. Just look at the picture!
- Beat Still My Heart
- Big Bad: Of the second film.
- Combat Tentacles: Jones uses his tentacle beard to kill Mercer via facial Orifice Invasion.
- Cthulhumanoid: His current appearance is actually the result of Jones not performing his duties to Calypso as expected.
- The Devil
- Deal with the Devil: "Do you fear death?"
- Disney Villain Death: Sorta. He's already dead by the time the body falls.
- The Dragon: Jones becomes The Dragon for Beckett in the third film. However, when things begin to turn sour for Beckett's side Jones becomes Dragon-in-Chief and he kills Mercer Beckett's first Dragon.
- The Dreaded
- Even Bad Men Love Their Pets: He is shown to be visibly distraught over Cutler Beckett forcing him to kill the Kraken.
- Fake Nationality: The Scottish Davy Jones is played by the English Bill Nighy (though Nighy himself claimed Jones is Welsh.)
- Fantastic Romance / Interspecies Romance: With Tia Dalma, who is actually the sea goddess Calypso.
- Flying Dutchman: Literally.
- Ghost Pirate
- Hero-Killer: Literally, too. He does in Will by his own hand and Jack and Norrington by proxy, though admittedly only one of those stuck.
- Karmic Transformation
- Large Ham: Mostly due to the way he accentuates certain wordsuh. He's played by Bill Nighy, after all.
- "Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... THE KRRRAAAKEN!"
- "HARRIDAN! You'll see no mercy from me!"
- Love Makes You Evil
- Mobile Menace: As a part of his power over the seas, Jones is able to teleport from ship to ship and phase through objects on the ship (as can his crew). Not only that, but the Dutchman moves faster against the wind and is functionally a submersible.
- The reason the Dutchman can move faster against the wind has to do with the five staysails that it is rigged with.
- Motif: His locket's song. This is shared with Tia Dalma on her own identical locket.
- Nigh Invulnerable: The only way to kill him is stabbing his heart.
- Which isn't even in his body - "Did you forget? I'm a heartless wretch!"
- Ominous Pipe Organ: He plays it with his beard.
- Apparently the organ had been grown from the coral in Jones' quarters.
- Psychopomp: Davy Jones (although he neglected his duties).
- Soul Jar: the Dead Man's Chest
- Star-Crossed Lovers: Jones and Calypso. His anger at being spurned is perhaps justifiable, but in the third film she calls him on it, telling him he would not have loved her in the first place if she were not as fickle and unpredictable as the sea itself.
- Together in Death: As he dies, he reverently whispers her name, before falling into the sea's embrace.
- The Starscream: Davy Jones to Cutler Beckett in the third film.
- Verbal Tic: Davy Jones-ah.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: Originally Gore Verbinski wanted Jones to have a Dutch accent (considering the ship's name), but Nighy could not do one. So Nighy instead opted for Welsh, but thought it didn't sound threatening enough and switched to a harsher, somewhat Scottish accent.

Other animated films[]
The Magnet[]
- The Speechless
- Conveyor Belt of Doom
- The Grim Reaper: Re-watch "Worthless" as an adult and you'll see it's a pretty obvious stand-in.
- Punch Clock Villain: Though, despite merely doing its job, it's still pretty evil, as it has no qualms about dropping a human being onto the conveyor belt.
- Villain Song: "Worthless", sung by its victims.
- Super-Persistent Predator: Despite ruling over an entire junkyard, it seems to have a fixation on the main protagonists...

- For the Evulz

- Plot Irrelevant Villain: Awesome though he may be, he doesn't really have anything to do with the plot of Halloweentown taking over Christmas.
- One-Winged Angel / Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever: In Oogie's Revenge.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
- Scary Black Man
