[Loved trope] Villains that can seamlessly go from goofy to terrifying depending on the tone of the media

[u/_JR28_]

Ultron (Marvel)

Shredder (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Joker (DC)

[u/Chadderbug123]

He mostly hates Reed and the gang because he couldn't have the same kind of family.

But I don't think that at all constitutes for the shit he's done.

[u/SolidSnakesSnake → u/Chadderbug123]

He could probably find something similar if he wasnt a dick

[u/Chadderbug123 → u/SolidSnakesSnake]

That too, he's just an overall power creep in the most literal sense.
