| Psychotic Smirk | comment |
As far as the most devious and subtle of villains are concerned, when it comes to facial expression, less is more. A Cheshire Cat Grin only warns people that something's afoot; a Slasher Smile is even more glaringly obvious. No, when someone's about to walk straight into your Death Trap or your Evil Plan is about to pay big dividends, it's best to show your smug superiority with a devious little smile, probably behind your victim's/lackey's back, or behind your hand (or hands). Only the villain and the viewers know that alarm bells should be ringing in the good guys' heads — but hey, they're the enemy, why give them advance notice? For obvious reasons, this subtle hint of treachery is especially likely to turn up as part of a Traitor Shot. The Psychotic Smirk is a favorite with Big Bads everywhere. There's no need to broadcast just how dangerous they are — everyone's got a pretty good idea already, but no one can prove it. The important thing is to smile with only one side of the mouth. Sometimes, it's accompanied by a Finger Wag as if to say "Nice try, sucker" if the hero had attempted to defeat them. Unfortunately, the understated effect is often ruined by an over-the-top Motive Rant when the penny finally drops for the heroes. For the heroic (but just as cocky) version, see Grin of Audacity. A particular type of Anti-Hero does this, too: the soft-spoken, underhanded ones who always know more than they let on, but never see fit to warn others of the danger. Might overlap with Sideways Smile, which are face-splitting smiles viewed from the side profile that may or may not be accompanied by obscured eyes or be intended for creepiness. |

Utilized as a game mechanic in Shin Megami Tensei IV, where any unit can gain the Smirk status if they score a critical hit or nullify an enemy attack. The following attack will be much more powerful as a result, and the icon for it is depicted as a devilish demon face. | |

Bleach: If you see Aizen smiling even a bit, turn heel and run because it generally means you're on the wrong end of his manipulations — the kind of manipulations that threaten life or sanity. Unfortunately for all the characters, he's always smiling. The anime subtly portrays Mila-Rose as someone that enjoys fighting, with a slight sadistic streak as she's shown with a psychotic smirk when fighting an outmatched Matsumoto. Ginjou has a habit of letting these slip out. His first introduction to the storyline even included one. As he once confessed to Ichigo, when he's forced to play the role of a villain, he tends to go for the cliché. |

The Simpsons: Mr. Burns often pulls this expression, often coupling it with steepled fingers and a hissy "Eeeeeeexcellent!" Discussed in "Monty Can't Buy Me Love." Kent Brockman provides a practical news voice-over describing the typical billionaire: "a joyless miser brooding in his cavernous mansion, grasping a glass of brandy with his thin, claw-like fingers and a superior smirk on his greedy, soulless face." Cut to Mr. Burns in this exact position, chilling smirk and all. |

Sylar from Heroes does this occasionally. Apparently, Sendhil Ramamurthy who plays Mohinder◊ does a pretty good one, too! One particularly memorable smirk came while he was shapeshifted as Micah to help him fake his death. For a split second, "Sylar" shows through. The kid nails it. |

In Manehattan's Lone Guardian, Leviathan describes a photo of Iron Gates—a thief she'd previously fought against, and someone who's part of the Big Bad's inner circle—as him having this smile, coupled with a raised eyebrow in a blatant reference to the Dreamworks Face.

Itachi from Naruto seems to consider this his favorite expression. Of course, he only has three; frowning, blank stare, and smirking. If he smirks...you're in trouble. Direct, immediate, trouble, that is. Most likely he's just reversed your attack and you're about to kill yourself unless you stop. Suigetsu does this most of the time, usually one with his mouth closed if he's genuinely indifferent, or with it slightly open (showing off his shark teeth) if he's about to kill someone face an opponent he thinks he can easily beat. He usually only does otherwise if he's in some sort of danger. And now, Sasuke sports one of these in 476, after crushing Danzo (but not really) for speaking ill of Itachi. Kyuubi!Naruto sports an amazing one near the beginning of his fight with God Realm Pain. You don't get better Psycho Smirks than that. Now Obito has jumped in on the action after being unmasked. His response to being asked if he really is Kakashi's old friend is just a long parade of these one after another. And lest we forget Gaara before his Heel–Face Turn! As shown here,◊ here, here, here and here! And pages 10, 12 and 15 of this gallery have a bunch of his smirks from his battle against Naruto! |

In Loved and Lost, Prince Jewelius gives Queen Chrysalis a sly and malicious grin right before Twilight Sparkle uses the spell he showed her a few chapters earlier to turn Chrysalis and her entire Changeling army tiny enough to trap them all in the glass jar he just revealed. This is also foreshadowing to a later revelation that Jewelius and Chrysalis at first worked together to take over Equestria on Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding day until he decided to make Twilight his pawn and help her defeat the Changelings while making the public believe all the other heroes are to blame. | |

In The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney), Frollo does this after he explains to Quasimodo that he plans to find the gypsies' secret hideout and arrest the gypsies, Esmeralda included. Earlier, he also gives off a sadistic smirk while having a prisoner whipped and informing Phoebus that his last captain of the guard was "a bit of a disappointment." |

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Ami, like her canon counterpart, is as about a nice a girl as you can get. But occasionally she'll have a really 'good' science related idea or figure out how to get back at a villain in the perfect way.

The default expression of the megalomaniacal dictator Paulo Orlovsky from Gadget: Past as Future. It's notable in that he's the only character with a facial expression that can be discernably read at all. Every other character in the game has a neutral look on their face that sometimes vaguely looks melancholic. However, as the one causing the other characters' misery for his own pursuit of power, Orlovsky certainly has a lot to be happy about. | |

Supernatural: Sam when he was The Soulless, watching as Dean was turned into a vampire and he realized he could use a vampirized Dean to help track the Alpha Vampire. Creepy. Ruby has an obnoxious habit of breaking out cocky little smirks when Sam's got his back turned and she's succeeding in molding him into her Unwitting Pawn. She flashes one such smile at Dean when they both recognize that the other knows Lilith is the last seal and he's shown up too late to stop them. The Trickster wears this a couple of times — there's a particularly good example◊ in the episode "Changing Channels". In "Moriah", Chuck has one before snapping his fingers to kill Jack. |

Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII tosses Cloud a cold, calculating smile as he basks in the flames of the protagonist's hometown (although Crisis Core retconned it slightly so it resembled more of a sorrowful or rageful expression). Not to mention a chillingly smug smirk when he runs his sword through Aerith. In Advent Children, Sephiroth's Psychotic Smirk is clearly in evidence during his big fight with Cloud. That, a bit of Dissonant Serenity, and the fact that he never breaks a sweat or breathes heavy during this fight was supposedly done to show his immense strength. Sephiroth also displays a charmingly evil smirk during his boss battle with Zack in Crisis Core. Sephiroth is pretty much the king of this trope, and Rosso the Crimson is his queen. |

In the Everworld series, the witch Senna almost never smiles. However, when she's using magic to attack or to control someone, she occasionally makes small smiles to herself. She never shows teeth, but they're so disturbingly described that they would probably qualify as a Slasher Smile if she was more open with them. | |

Piedmon from Digimon Adventure does this every time he's preparing his next move. Takeru from Digimon Adventure 02 does a non-villainous smirk◊ after the Digimon Kaiser whips his face. Much ass-kicking ensues. Ken gets a rather Narm-filled scene where he kicks a puppy and then pulls this face. What a douche. Digimon Tamers has the D-Reaper's only humanoid agent, the ADR-01, or as Guilmon calls it, Scary Jeri, has this as its default expression. Lucemon of Digimon Frontier sported this expression near-constantly as well. |

Characters driven insane in Soul Eater mainly get full-on Slasher Smiles. It's just the look that's used. In his moment of madness, Death the Kid gets a smirk not entirely unlike his expression when pleased under normal circumstances. Somehow this makes it worse. Stein gets some fantastic ones here. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Loki wears an enigmatic, tight-lipped smile at least once in Thor (when he comes to bargain with Laufey), The Avengers (before ripping out an eye of his victim in Stuttgart) and Thor: The Dark World (while staring down Kurse from his cell). Being more unstable in The Avengers, he often sports a Slasher Smile instead. By Thor: Ragnarok, his expression softens to a Smile of Approval (on the bridge during the final battle) or genuine happiness (in his last scenes of the movie). Thanos is quite fond of this expression. He wears that smirk in The Stinger of The Avengers and several times throughout Avengers: Infinity War. |

X-Men Film Series X2: X-Men United Magneto performs a Psychotic Wink after admonishing the (dead) guard for unwittingly aiding in his escape. He gives another little smile to Jason Stryker after his helmet no sells the psychic attack Jason was making Xavier perform on all mutants. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Victor Creed likes giving these. |

Azula of Avatar: The Last Airbender has this down to a fine art: when she strikes down Iroh when he's not looking, when she gets Zuko to join her by saying it's his choice, when she attacks Aang mid-Transformation Sequence, and when she reveals the contingency plan after figuring out Aang is alive from Zuko pausing and saying there was no way he could have survived. The picture that used to be above comes from the finale, while Azula is suffering from her Villainous Breakdown. As time goes on, it degenerates into a full-on Slasher Smile. In general, she was a child prodigy gifted in general evil, which comes with the Psychotic Smirk. In "The Boiling Rock", Zuko gives one of his own after unbolting the cooler. Looking kinda Light Yagami there, Zuko◊. Though oddly this is the only time he makes one and it's after he does a Heel–Face Turn. Psychotic smirks must run in the family, as Ozai is also a master at this. He displays several throughout the Day of Black Sun and Sozin's Comet. |

Whether he's hemming a dress or killing someone in cold blood, he almost always wears a small, pleasant smile on his face.

Alex Mercer does these from time to time. His habit of flashing them at victims when he believes them at his mercy means they border on slasher smiles a lot (and his dietary habits sure don't help dispel that impression). He's just not a naturally reassuring sort of person. | |

Mass Effect 2: A rare heroic example, perhaps, would be Commander Shepard him/herself. While the Renegade Shepard does this quite often, there are two particular occasions when even the Paragon Shepard cannot help but break out that signature Shepard smirk that says "I just saved the galaxy and I'm not even tired. What can you do, suckers?" These occasions are when Shepard emerges quite alive from the rubble after the battle with Saren/Sovereign and when Shepard tells the Illusive Man to go fuck himself right after blowing up the Collector base. Mass Effect 3: When questioned by Admiral Hackett on how s/he got the krogan and salarians to cooperate (answer: by sabotaging the genophage cure), Shepard's response of "careful diplomacy" is accompanied by a Kubrick Stare and Psychotic Smirk. |

Rebuild World: Sheryl, a morally grey Guile Hero, does this whenever Akira is being threatening towards someone she’s angry at. When the unscrupulous Knowledge Broker Viola tries to sell information to Mizuha about how her organization Drankam has The Mole inside of it, and Mizuha refuses to hear what she’s trying to sell, Viola smiles like this imagining how Mizuha might be ruined by said mole. Chloe, a Drama Queen villainess, does this when Akira plays right into her traps, doubling as an I Shall Taunt You provocation. |

Despicable Me: Being an ex-villain, Gru tends toward this expression rather than the Cheshire Cat Grin when he's up to something. It's most noticeable in the first film, when he decides to take out the "Space Killer" game at Super Silly Fun Land. The sidelong smirk he flashes just before he draws his plasma blaster would set any sane human who saw it running for the hills. | |

Star Trek Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Mirror, Mirror", Mirror Sulu does this right after he announces his plan to kill off both Kirk and Spock while casually tilting his knife from side to side. These Mirror Universe security chiefs seem to have a thing for being a Smug Snake... Also, in "Return to Tomorrow", the alien of the week who has body-snatched Spock wears either this or a Smug Smile in almost every scene he is in. Especially disturbing, since the audience is used to Nimoy keeping his face perfectly calm and expressionless as The Stoic Vulcan. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: This is one of the more unsettling traits of resident Magnificent Bastard Elim Garak. Whether he's hemming a dress or killing someone in cold blood, he almost always wears a small, pleasant smile on his face. It should be noted, though, that while this is his face's default setting, if you ever see that smirk disappear, it's already too late... Star Trek: Enterprise: Stiff-upper-lip tactical officer Malcolm Reed does this when taken over by a non-corporeal alien in "The Crossing", and when he's just plain Mirror Universe evil in "In a Mirror, Darkly" (check out the scene in which Reed watches his own ship get destroyed). Star Trek: Picard: Narissa frequently grins when she either contemplates harming someone, is in the process of doing so, or after she has already tormented her victim. |

Light from Death Note. Three words: "Just as planned." One smirk he busts out is so momentous, it's accompanied by a sudden earthquake in the cinematography. Also, Mello in the scene where his henchman is killing much of his opponent Near's team. In the anime, in the middle of the scene, while the dice are falling and the people are dying, it cuts to Mello, and a satisfied grin. Also chocolate. Always with the chocolate. |

Kim Possible: Kim herself does this quite a number of times, her most notable one◊ being at the end of her movie, right after she kicked Shego into a high-voltage electrical tower to what seems to be her death, crushed under said tower. However, she survives, frizzled and still smoking from the electrical shock, but without any major injuries. She also does it when confronting Drakken after destroying the Bebes, when throwing around the idea of her playing soccer and suggesting the idea of soccer being a contact sport to Jim and Tim, as well as other moments. Before the final battle in So the Drama, she instead goes for a full-on◊ Slasher Smile before punching Drakken across the room. Shego, too. |

In Kill Six Billion Demons, the God-Emperor Mottom cracks a wonderful one after inflicting a darkly ironic Fate Worse than Death on a rebellious vassal in front of her court. As an ancient Demiurge ruling a Decadent Court of 111 111 worlds, she does enjoy flexing her power. | |

In Fire Emblem Heroes, during Book VII, King Njörðr sports an unsettlingly evil smirk during The Reveal that he set up a trap for Seiðr by turning her beloved Heiðr into a eight-headed snake monster, then forcing her to kill her. This was all part of his plans so that the Golden Curse would trasnfer from Heiðr to Seiðr and that she would become Gullveig, the Golden Seer that she had fought to prevent from being born. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Mirror, Mirror", Mirror Sulu does this right after he announces his plan to kill off both Kirk and Spock while casually tilting his knife from side to side. These Mirror Universe security chiefs seem to have a thing for being a Smug Snake... Also, in "Return to Tomorrow", the alien of the week who has body-snatched Spock wears either this or a Smug Smile in almost every scene he is in. Especially disturbing, since the audience is used to Nimoy keeping his face perfectly calm and expressionless as The Stoic Vulcan. |

Lelouch Lamperouge in Code Geass loves doing this behind that Cool Mask of his. For good reason; whenever he does it without the mask it passes from awesome to terrifying. We're first introduced to that smile at the end of the first episode, when he grins just a little too evilly after Geassing the soldiers about to kill him into shooting themselves. It's the blood splashing onto his cheek that really does it. | |

Kiku Honda (Japan) of Hetalia: Axis Powers does this very subtly in the anime while being very enigmatic. Coupled with his Monochromatic Eyes... Russia is the king of this◊ in the series. Almost anytime he smiles, his smile is like that of a serial killer. Or Hannibal Lector. Especially when he wants you to become one with him. He is only seen smiling one time without the underlying crazy. One time. |

The Nostalgia Chick gets a good one when she successfully pulls a Wounded Gazelle Gambit on the Critic. Speaking of Critic, he spends most of "The Review Must Go On" like this. His even doing it when he's back at his desk made people theorize that he Came Back Wrong. He does it again at the end of The Cat In The Hat when Soulless is screaming in hell from his torture suggestion. |

Game of Thrones: Roose Bolton puts on a flat out disturbing one combined with a kubrick stare during The Rains of Castamere when urges Catelyn via his eyes to pull up his sleeve and see he has his chainmail on thus cluing her and the audience in he's betrayed Robb and the Red Wedding is about to begin. And then there's his bastard son, Ramsay, who is a master of this. Walder Frey also sports one throughout most of the Red Wedding. This seems to be Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish's default expression. Arya Stark's is developing very nicely, despite ostensibly being one of the good guys, as she progresses from Princess in Rags to vengeance-seeking Child Soldier. She almost gives one when she sees the body of The Tickler. She definitely gives one after killing Polliver. Septa Unella has one of these going on during Cersei's walk of shame. What's more, it only grows more pronounced as the commoners hurl abuse and filth at the queen. Clearly, the good septa is Not So Above It All, something Cersei later calls her out on when the tables are turned. Cersei as she's carried off in the arms of Ser Robert Strong, her instrument of future vengeance, in "Mother's Mercy". As Khal Moro describes in detail how Daenerys is not going to be a Dosh Khaleen and instead will be gang raped for her insolence, Dany just stands there with a smug malevolent grin, savoring the notion that he, the other khals, and their blood riders are moments away from dying in a fire. Moro is unnerved that she's doing this instead of despairing. The Waif has a small gleeful smirk on her face after she receives her charge to assassinate Arya. Sansa leaves the kennels with a smile as her abusive husband Ramsay gets eaten alive by his own hounds in the background. You can't blame her... The Night King does this after Daenerys' attempt to destroy him with Dragonfire does absolutely nothing to him. The fact that this is the only time the character has shown an expression besides scowling makes it even scarier. |

Loki wears an enigmatic, tight-lipped smile at least once in Thor (when he comes to bargain with Laufey), The Avengers (before ripping out an eye of his victim in Stuttgart) and Thor: The Dark World (while staring down Kurse from his cell). Being more unstable in The Avengers, he often sports a Slasher Smile instead. By Thor: Ragnarok, his expression softens to a Smile of Approval (on the bridge during the final battle) or genuine happiness (in his last scenes of the movie). | |

Whether it's lounging on his throne, making a speech on how humans are pathetic, facing down the Celestial Spirit King, or taking on three Dragonslayers, it seems to be his default expression as The Stoic.

Doctor Who: This is to the First Doctor what the Cheshire Cat Grin is to the Fourth — it's his trademark "I've-just-done-something-very-clever" expression. Excellent examples are when he knows he's got the Daleks beaten at the end of "The Dalek Invasion of Earth", when he's teasing his torturer with a Psychic Block Defense in "The Space Museum", and when he's embarrassing Emperor Nero in "The Romans". "The Satan Pit": The Beast, in the body of Toby Zed, does this when it believes that its escape from Krop Tor is certain. The others onboard the spaceship notice, but don't initially think too much of it. Jeremy Baines/Son of Mine of the Family of Blood is always wearing one of these◊, yet no-one except maybe Tim Latimer seems to think the guy Son is now possessing suddenly looking this way is cause for concern until he and the Family crash the dance... The Jacobi and Simm◊ Masters enjoy doing this too, which is incredibly startling to see on the Jacobi version after he's played a kindly old man most of the episode. "Midnight" has such a smirk on the face of whatever's possessing Sky whenever things are going well for it. |

Child of the Storm has Doctor Strange, who usually has a Grin of Audacity on his face, but sometimes it turns into one of these. It's usually a prelude to a reminder that for all his sometimes quirky mannerisms, there is a reason that this man has a reputation as The Dreaded sufficient to baulk gods. Harry, his student, is a generally Nice Guy, who at worst (after an epic Trauma Conga Line) is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and a grumpy Knight in Sour Armor. However, 'generally' is not 'invariably', and he develops an occasional one in the sequel Ghosts of the Past that reminds people unnervingly of Strange. It usually appears when he's about to come up with something creatively nasty to screw over the bad guys. |

Noa, villain of the Virtual Nightmare arc of Yu-Gi-Oh!, has this expression when watching the misery of the heroes from the comfort of his cyber-throne. He gets it almost perfectly right. Yami himself. An Anti-Hero example of this and he got it perfected. Seto Freakin' Kaiba! Every time he smiles, a puppy dies. |

This seems to be the default expression of Ryan O'Reily in OZ, but seeing as he spends the entire series manipulating one side against the other it's hardly surprising. | |

If Akito from Fruits Basket (the manga, at least) smiles, this is usually the smile he chooses. Of course, if you take in what his eyes usually say ("I am so enjoying ripping your little psyche to shreds!"), it's a little more disturbing... | |

The Legend of Korra Amon from wears a mask with a built-in evil smirk that's both deceptively inviting and unnerving. Criminal waterbender Ming Hua occasionally displays one, usually while delivering a vicious beatdown. Kuvira from Book 4 will occasionally wear one of these when something goes her way. And for someone portrayed as a stoic Iron Lady, they are surprisingly◊ unsettling◊. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Within the first ten minutes of the episode "Innocence", the Judge walks up to Angel, and tries to burn him. Since the Judge can only burn someone with humanity in them, it serves as a marker that Angel has lost his soul. He turns to Drusilla, and says "I'm back", with a very muted psychotic smirk. Angelus also sports a particularly evil smirk in "Passion" when he's watching Buffy and Willow break down upon being told about Jenny's murder. In fact, Angelus is nearly always wearing one. In Season 8, Buffy gives a particularly frightening one to a vampire as it's doused in fuel, threatening to Kill It with Fire. |

Ace Attorney: Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth does this in court whenever he's about to say something that will crush Pheonix's argument. Damon Gant, the culprit of Case 5 in the first game. Matt Engarde sports a wicked one after he's reveals himself as the killer in final case of the second game. Kristoph Gavin, the Big Bad of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Shi-Na/Calisto Yew in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. Investigations 2: Horace Knightley, Sirhan Dogen, Dane Gustavia, Blaise Debeste, and Simon Keyes, all making frequent use of one. Edgeworth still does this in the Investigations games. Yes, he's the protagonist. Yes, he's a good guy now. Nevertheless, one still can't help but feel that he's hatching some insidious plan whenever he smirks. |

Quite a few of Vladimir Putin's "happy" expressions" go into this territory, in the few times his face shifts out of that menacing frown. Transition from Badass Prime Minister to "Are you sure this guy isn't a Bond villain?" Comedian Samantha Bee said Putin "smiles like he can only orgasm when a journalist dies." Pundit Kitchen has turned this into a Running Gag, particularly with their "Vladurday" pictures. |

In Merlin (2008), we have Morgana. Dear God Morgana. Everytime she does something evil her psychotic smirk goes on a rampage and smacks us in the face. Worse? She does it in broad daylight in front of the people she is convincing that she is still good. And they never notice it. It does finally blow her cover when Gwen notices it. | |

Megatron and Starscream, in whichever series they feature in, often sport this expression when a plan is going well. In Transformers: Prime season one, Episode 19 "Rock Bottom" ends with Megatron giving Starscream a psychotic smirk worthy of Unicron itself. Galvatron can be seen doing this before the ad break (complete with sparks coming from his head) of Five Faces of Darkness Part II and sports this expression in Season 3 whenever he's in one of his more malicious moods (either through formulating a devious plan, just plain ol' torture or both). |
