Mental Handicap, Moral Deficiency	comment	The intellectual counterpoint to the Evil Cripple and the inversion of Evil Genius, this character's morals are as repugnant as his mentality is limited. He might be diagnosed with a real-life condition (however inaccurately) in-story, or it might be left deliberately vague, but either way, his intellectual impairment and immorality go hand in hand. There can be a number of reasons for this combination. Perhaps the character is so severely limited in his ability to understand what is and is not acceptable that he simply does not know any better. This can go double if he is surrounded by equally or even more malicious abled people who enable or encourage his behavior. Perhaps he is angry at a world that ostracizes or rejects him because of his disability and lashes out because of this. Perhaps his evil and his handicap, at least in theory, have nothing to do with one another; you don't have to be a genius to be dangerous, and evil people come in all forms. Maybe he's an anti-intellectual with a vested interest in peddling bullshit. Or perhaps the writer is simply "othering" people with nonstandard intellectual gifts; needless to say, this trope, like Evil Cripple, can be terribly ableist depending on how it's employed. No matter how it's played, potential for Unfortunate Implications runs extremely high. The trope can, and often does, overlap with Dumb Muscle, especially if the handicapped character is being manipulated or used by a relative, friend, or associate who does the actual planning. If this is the case, there's a decent chance that the smarter character in the Brains and Brawn duo is physically disabled in some way; writers enjoy pairing this character with the Evil Cripple. It can also easily overlap with Psychopathic Manchild, though the two should not be conflated with one another — Psychopathic Manchild is about a character who is emotionally stunted, while this trope concerns villainous characters with intellectual disabilities. It's not unusual for a character like this to also be portrayed as suffering some form of mental illness, and thus overlap with The Mentally Disturbed, Ax-Crazy, and Insane Equals Violent. However, it's very important to remember that mental disability and mental illness are two different things. Compare Insane Equals Violent, Evil Cripple, Eunuchs Are Evil, Depraved Dwarf, and Disability as an Excuse for Jerkassery. Contrast Evil Genius and Dumb Is Good. When this trope is compared to being literally devoid of a soul, check Neurodiversity Is Supernatural. If the handicap is the result of inbreeding, this overlaps with Inbred and Evil. This should go without saying, but No Real Life Examples, Please!.

Mental Handicap, Moral Deficiency / int_1463a028	comment	Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Subverted for drama in the episode "Redemption". John Hawkins is convinced that Roger Berry, a man he put away years ago who has just been released, is responsible for a series of murders and rapes despite the fact that Roger is mentally disabled and his mother protests his innocence. However, in this case, Roger has an airtight alibi, and John's team begins to be skeptical of Roger being guilty because of his disability. John insists that Roger is smarter than he looks. Ultimately, John accepts that he got the wrong man and put an innocent person in prison; thankfully, the real killer — who was framing Roger for his crimes — is captured by John by the end of the episode.

While Karl is kind and caring towards people who reciprocate his friendship and has a traditional concept of morality and justice, his only solution to major moral problems in his life (whether it's his adulterous mother or his friend's abusive stepfather) involves murdering the offending individuals.

He's significantly mentally disabled and is a generally pretty decent person...compared to the rest of the Gang. By normal people's standards, he's a manipulative, violent stalker who's repeatedly kidnaps people, and there's been several moments (most famously "Charlie And Dee Find Love") where it's made clear that, despite his disabilities, he's still very much capable of genuine, intentional malice.

Despite the best efforts of his employer, Martel, Adus is barely literate, incapable of looking after his own hygiene, and utterly useless for any tasks that don't involve murder or immediate and straightforward violence. Alternately described as "frighteningly stupid", "barely human", and a "walking battleaxe", Adus is pretty clearly disabled in some fashion, even if the characters, living in a medieval Europe analogue, lack the language to describe him as such.

He's often manipulated into acting as muscle for other members of Batman's Rogues Gallery. Humpty Dumpty (most prominently featured in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell) is a big, cheerful, affable man, Humphrey doesn't intend to be evil. Unfortunately, he is afflicted with a compulsion to fix anything that he perceives as broken and decided that he learns best by taking things apart and then putting them back together, which resulted in him destroying a train, an elevator, a clock tower, and eventually a vast swath of Gotham City's skyline before finally accidentally killing his abusive grandmother by trying to take her apart and put her back together. Funnily enough, this makes him one of the few Batman baddies who meets the legal definition for insanity, as he genuinely doesn't understand that what he's doing is wrong.

Mental Handicap, Moral Deficiency / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Bizarro was originally written as simply having an inverted sense of morality, and despite their broken speech patterns, the Bizarros of the Silver Age were often capable of feats that would require substantial intellect. In the modern era, however, Bizarro is more often than not written as a mentally disabled Superman, meaning well, but lacking the intellectual capability to follow through. Non, General Zod's giant, mute henchman, was intellectually disabled by way of a lobotomy forced on him by Krypton's ruling council when he dared to voice his support for Jor-El's theories about Krypton exploding.

In the show, Melvin is instead presented as mentally disabled, admitting to requiring help from his friend Betsy in order to tell right from wrong and living in fear of Kingpin, who has threatened to harm Betsy if Melvin doesn't work for him. When Matt defeats Melvin in a fight and offers to save Betsy from Kingpin, Melvin, depicted as an Idiot Savant when it comes to weapons and armor design, quickly switches sides and begins designing costumes for Matt.

This resulted in the previously articulate and verbose Manta being reduced to a murderous drone who could only repeat the words "swim swim!" while trying to kill Aquaman. The writers actually went so far as to suggest that Manta's evil was a product of his autism, and that cured of it and his mental handicap, he might prove good. Aquaman proceeded to magically cure Manta, and was swiftly betrayed by the villain who revealed he'd always been evil — but the fact Aquaman thought it would work demonstrates that the King of the Seas apparently believes autism makes you a psychopath.

Years after the murders, he is arrested by the BAU when the carnival he works at returns to town. Lucas Turner of the Season 4 finale "To Hell..."/"...And Back" suffers from both autism and "mild mental retardation" and is entirely under the thumb of his ruthless older brother Mason, whom he'd accidentally crippled when they were younger. Kidnapping homeless men and women for the quadriplegic Mason, Lucas kills them with a hammer, then feeds their bodies to the family's pigs while Mason watches. Benjamin "Cy" Bradstone of Season 7's "Proof" is a severely intellectually disabled man who is also a psychopath and sexual sadist. Having been rejected by his sister-in-law after molesting her when they were teenagers, he stalks, disfigures, blinds, and murders women who remind him of her. He later graduates to not only blinding his victims but taking away their senses of touch, taste, etc., with sulfuric acid, culminating in an assault on his niece that leaves her permanently mutilated.
