They Look Just Like Everyone Else!	comment	This is when a villain doesn't look like a villain and is even more terrifying because of it. This does not apply to particularly handsome or charming villains — that goes under Beauty Is Bad, Sexy Villains, Chaste Heroes, Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains, or Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon. Characters following this trope look completely ordinary. You could pass them on the street and never notice them, let alone suspect they murdered someone just the other day. In fantasy and science fiction shows, this is often what makes Mundanger villains so terrifying. While the normal beasties the protagonists hunt down and slay are obviously fantastic monsters that don't exist in our world, these monsters could be living right next door. Please note: the identity of many of these villains may be part of a reveal, so please use spoilers wisely. An Enfant Terrible is usually one of these, as is your typical Affably Evil villain. Frequently overlaps with Tom the Dark Lord (when a villain has a mundane name). Contrast Obviously Evil and Devil in Plain Sight, as well as Face of a Thug (when someone is good or well-adjusted despite looking untrustworthy). Compare Manchurian Agent, where they genuinely are like everyone else until triggered, and Anticlimactic Unmasking, where someone with a distinct disguise looks like this without it. Related with but not to be confused for They Look Like Us Now, where previously inhuman beasties learn to pass for human. The Nondescript is when their "normalness" is taken so far that people can't even remember what they're like. May intersect with Ridiculously Average Guy, who looks and acts utterly normal in every respect. The Trope Namer is a quote by Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family going in ordinary clothes to a costume party, then claiming, "I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everybody else." This is Truth in Television. Who knows? Maybe one of the tropers could just be this. noreallife

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator: This was supposed to happen in The Terminator. Lance Henriksen was James Cameron's first choice to play the Terminator and had already appeared in-character at a fundraising event. Arnie originally auditioned for the role of Kyle Reese before switching roles to make the Terminator look much more imposing and threatening; Henriksen ended up playing one of the cops instead. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the default appearance of the shape-shifting villain is a fairly nondescript man (Robert Patrick), as opposed to the lantern-jawed Schwarzenegger. This really brings out the tension in the first part of the movie, before the audience knows that Arnold is the good guy this time around. Or would have, if every single trailer and commercial hadn't capitalized on the awesome T-1000 effects and the line "How do you terminate a Terminator?" thus spoiling the surprise at the time. Terminator: Dark Fate: The Rev-9 takes the outward appearance of a rather unremarkable Latino guy, and is even able to crack jokes with those it's disguised among as if it was just one of the boys.

The majority of the militia is made up of agents that walk around the city like any normal person. This is used as a great effect when a strike breaks out and eventually leads to fighting between two crowds. The militia has people in both. Even the crowd that's on strike. They could be anywhere at any time and you would only know when it's already too late.

It's Tsumugi Shirogane, Ultimate Cosplayer and self-proclaimed ordinary person. Ironically, some fans called the twist because of this trope; she fades into the background so much (she never does anything during investigations or trials, and never has a subplot to herself; the closest she gets is filling out Angie's Student Council, and even then, the focus is on Himiko and Tenko) that it became clear that she was being set up for a big endgame reveal.

Some humans even wonder whether they really exist, and express surprise when discovering that Ghouls look human. This is driven home when Ken Kaneki manages to score a date with a beautiful girl, and their wonderful evening ends with her trying to eat him. CCG Investigators are trained to watch for very subtle signs someone might be a Ghoul, but even then the law restricts them from acting until they actually see a Ghoul's Game Face. However, it is subverted in that, while there are violent and malicious Ghouls, most of them are perfectly normal people outside their powers and hunger for flesh.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_23945975	comment	Most villains in the Disney Animated Canon are Obviously Evil, but there are a few (typically twist villains or realistic villains) exceptions to this. Part of what makes Pinocchio's Coachman character so terrifying by Disney villain standards is that he basically looks like a normal, grandfatherly old man. There's no clear visual indication of his evil until he makes his Nightmare Face. His only other tell is easy to miss: he has Four-Fingered Hands as opposed to every other human having five. Lady Tremaine in Cinderella has the appearance as a old upper-class lady, which is what she is. There's nothing supernatural about her (at least in the original film), she's just a abusive, tyrannical stepmother towards Cinderella. Bill Sykes in Oliver & Company is a scarily realistic depiction of a mob-involved Loan Shark, and has the appearance of a grey-haired old man with eyeglasses that you can come across on the street. Commander Rourke of Atlantis: The Lost Empire is an unassuming, outwardly friendly middle-aged man compared to the more eccentric members of his team. It makes the part where he has Milo and Kida cornered with a jovial smile on his face all the creepier, especially when he casually decides to leave an entire civilization to die. Prince Hans from Frozen (2013) is a normal looking gentleman, as opposed to the Gonk Duke of Weselton, who turns out to be a Red Herring.

He can't get over how they look "just like everyone else", when of course Bernie knows they are brutal, vicious murderers. Bernie makes the same point in a police conference, where he gives a speech about when he caught a Serial Killer and then comments about how evil people can't be spotted, how they look like everybody else. But he's also talking about the Nazis, and in this instance he is indulging in a little In-Universe Getting Crap Past the Radar, since among the people in the audience are arch-criminals like Heinrich Himmler and Arthur Nebe.

Since most of the show was set in small claims courts or mental health court, most of them were normal people who had just made terrible mistakes or had been put in a terrible situation.

They could be fat, old or completely plain, but deep down they are all depraved monsters that delight in abusing humans. This trope is usually not a problem for the twins, since they have managed to elude their enemies for centuries, but it certainly is for normal characters like Benito and Vicky, since they don't know who to trust as the conspiracy has infiltrated the police, politics, the church, etc. Even Vicky's own family is revealed to be part of it.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_2f3b380a	comment	The Sandman (2022): John Dee is a rather rumpled-looking man in his fifties, and because he spends most of the series in his pajamas and a borrowed overcoat, he seems too harmless to be a murderer escaped from a mental hospital. In "A Hope In Hell," John's befuddled appearance inspires pity from a passing motorist, who happily gives him a lift, while in "24/7", John looks so unassuming that it takes an entire episode for Bette to realize that he's directly responsible for the ongoing Mind Rape of the diner patrons. Several episodes in the latter half of the first season feature a gathering of serial killers; all of them, with maybe a couple of outliers, look like ordinary people you wouldn't look twice at when passing them in the street. The convener of the gathering is a soft-spoken bespectacled little man who looks like a retired accountant or math teacher... and makes clothing out of the skins of his victims.

In the aftermath of a Gun Struggle, Briggs pulls the hood off the dead assassin... and sees the ordinary face of some guy he doesn't know. Briggs goes as far as to lampshade this trope and berate himself for having expected anything else.

She can eliminate her romantic rivals in a number of ways, but blackmail and murder are not off the table. As YandereDev puts it, this is a horror video game—where you play the monster. Info-chan, an amoral information broker, also looks like a normal high schooler (well, her back does at least). Her hair is bright red, but that's not uncommon in context. The Bully clique look like standard ganguro girls, but they're perfectly able and willing to bully students into suicide. Repeatedly. Before the game proper, there's Ayano's mom Ryoba. Looks like a sweet motherly lady... until you get her alone with the guy she kidnapped.

Just the reveal that they exist puts the military on edge, since there's absolutely no way to tell who's a Titan Shifter until they transform and squash you. Their Titan forms are distinctive, but their human selves aren't. Four of them were able to pose as members of Eren's training group- Annie, Bertholt, Reiner, and Ymir. Later reveals justify this as they're actually the same thing. Normal mindless Titans are incomplete Titan Shifters who haven't yet inherited one of the nine Titan Powers and as such can't turn back or control themselves. Any Eldian (which encompasses all the main characters except Mikasa) has the potential to turn into a titan or become a Titan Shifter, so most Shifters are just ordinary people.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_691be369	comment	This trope happens a lot on The X-Files since the villains usually take pains to blend into society and are only outed when unnatural things start to happen: Eugene Tooms in the episodes "Squeeze" and "Tooms". Donnie Pfaster of "Irresistible". Scully comments on how extraordinarily ordinary he is in her closing report on the case. John Lee Roche, the serial-killer-of-girls in "Paper Hearts", looks and talks like a balding salesman, which he was before he got caught. The vampire town in "Bad Blood". The villain in "Folie Ã Deux" was a giant monster, disguised as a human being in a normal company. Though not a villain, the alien in "The Unnatural" lives convincingly like a human baseball player. It's his whole motivation, in fact. The brain-eating man in "Hungry" took pains to disguise himself. Undisguised, he resembled a cross between a bald man and a shark. The Alien Bounty Hunter can shape-shift into anyone he wants. The Super Soldier human/alien hybrids are indistinguishable from humans until you look at the back of their neck. Or they kill you. Whichever comes first.

What makes the Parasyte's particularly Paranoia Fuel inducing is that; say a normal person somehow managed to escape a Parasyte and memorize their face, said Parasyte can then completely change their face and catch that same person off guard. This becomes even truer later in the series where the Parasytes eventually stop attacking humans and start focusing more on just acclimating and assimilating into society; by then, they've essentially become like everyone else, and the only way even the reader can tell them apart is the slight slant to a host's eyes.

In game while they don't have any power resembling this, their faces are fully modeled underneath their masks and they all look relatively normal. Ji-Woon Hak, a.k.a. The Trickster, takes it a step further. While his brightly colored and outlandish outfit can be excused by him being a K-Pop idol, nothing about his outward appearance would indicate that he's a narcissistic Serial Killer. Without his Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness and the fact that he's covered in blood, he'd look like a normal Pretty Boy.

In fact, given that his entire presence in the show is basically a case of Throw It In!, his appearance is mostly modeled on what the set dresser happened to be wearing the day he got accidentally caught in the shot. On the other hand, you probably couldn't have a conversation with him, since he mostly runs around snarling at people and hiding in the woods. This also applies to Leland Palmer, seemingly a perfectly normal family man and lawyer... who is actually a Serial Killer who has been raping his own daughter for years, under the Demonic Possession of the above BOB.

In truth he's just as vicious as his more threatening partner, being a serial-killing rapist who murdered a child in the opening sequence and who violently prevents the waitress from Tom's diner from leaving, casually sexually assaulting her while doing so.

Her defining characteristic is that she looks so ordinary, she can easily blend into society and spy on people for information which the cult later uses as blackmail. It's possible to walk past her and not notice because she looks like an average civilian NPC until evidence you gather exposes her. And once you try to assassinate her, you discover that she is a very capable fighter, and she has a lot of cult members in plain clothes around her. This on top of the soldiers attacking you, and possible bounty hunters, makes what seemed like a simple stealth kill into a frustrating boss fight if you attack unprepared.

Over the course of the first few chapters, Trixie runs into several ponies who turn out to be members of that group, and is absolutely none the wiser, nor has any reason to suspect them of abducting her. Their numbers include a genial teacher, a ditzy socialite (who, admittedly, has a second job as a secret agent), a college student, a Shadowbolt, and two secretaries in Luna's palace, one of whom Trixie has known for years. Several times, it's shown there are Changelings about the place, just pretending (or possibly just being) ordinary ponies, and no-one's the wiser. Not even the notoriously paranoid country of Zaldia, which is lousy with Changelings... one of whom is leading the invasion and is best buds with the country's king. She pretends to be a humble musician.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_8dfbdff2	comment	The defendant in the Law & Order episode "Hubris" is a mild-mannered real estate salesman and a regular Casanova with the ladies. As it turns out, he also murdered his girlfriend, the old couple who were employing her, and her 6-year-old daughter, all to cover up a fifth murder that he had already committed years before. And while the detectives know he did it because they see security camera footage of the crime (suppressed at trial, natch), the audience never sees him doing anything criminal or sinister at all. To the very end of the episode, this mass-murdering scumbag just looks like everyone else. In "Bad Faith", an episode involving a Pedophile Priest, Van Buren comments on how easily predators blend into normal society, even into positions of trust, and that it's "too bad they don't glow in the dark". The Big Bad of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 13 finale/season 14 opener is a frumpy, average-looking woman who is first introduced tending to the animals on her farm. She looks more like an elementary school teacher than someone who's engaged in sex trafficking, arranged a string of murders, and is using her prostitution business to blackmail half the cops and prosecutors in the state of New York.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_8f25225c	comment	Part of the fun of Danganronpa is that you never know who's going to snap and commit murder or turn out to have been a crazy killer the whole time. Sure, sometimes the Obviously Evil guy really is the Blackened, but just as often it's some random student who you've been interacting with normally up until this point, and who the protagonist might even consider a friend- and who might actually be nice and ordinary, until Monokuma found just the right button to press. The very first case is a good example. The Blackened is Leon Kuwata and the Asshole Victim is Sayaka Maizono, both of whom come off as the most normal students (aside from Makoto) in a class of nutcases, and one has significant (and by all evidence, genuinely friendly) previous interaction with Makoto. Then Monokuma provoked Sayaka to attempt murder by playing on her abandonment complex, and he decided to kill her to escape by Monokuma's rules. The Mole is not any of the anti-social students who pick fights, it's not one of the dumbasses hiding evil smarts (the idiots in the class really are what they seem), and it's not a Detective Mole. It's Sakura Oogami, who is generally trusted but plays little role in investigations, as they admit up front that they're not good at mysteries. Of course, Sakura is ultimately on the students' side, but was blackmailed by Monokuma. The Ultimate Despair is mostly composed of people who are, visually speaking, ordinary high school students. Mukuro Ikusaba has very plain looks when she's not toting her guns, her sister Junko Enoshima, the mastermind, is a fashion model in her daily life and the big reveal of Goodbye Despair is that literally every new character, with the sole exception of Chiaki Nanami, was part of Ultimate Despair. Yes, even absolute sweethearts like Sonia and Ibuki, tiny Hiyoko and Teruteru, and Hajime. In fact, he's the amnesiac mastermind of the killing game, Izuru Kamukura. The story of how they got that way... isn't pretty. The mastermind of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony isn't the Self-Proclaimed Liar Kokichi, creepy Korekiyo, or the menacing Maki. It's Tsumugi Shirogane, Ultimate Cosplayer and self-proclaimed ordinary person. Ironically, some fans called the twist because of this trope; she fades into the background so much (she never does anything during investigations or trials, and never has a subplot to herself; the closest she gets is filling out Angie's Student Council, and even then, the focus is on Himiko and Tenko) that it became clear that she was being set up for a big endgame reveal.

Played with for Haibara's deceased parents, Elena and Atsushi Miyano, whose faces are never seen for years (real-life years), since they're Posthumous Character so the main character never actually meet them and can only imagine what they look like. And since they're supposedly Morally Ambiguous Doctorates and Mad Scientists who work for the Big Bad, the main character (and sometimes Haibara herself) always imagines their faces framed in shadow, having Scary Shiny Glasses, having their backs and faces turned, etc. When their faces do get shown in one of the later flashbacks from Amuro (who unexpectedly has fond memories of them), they surprisingly look like nothing but loving parents◊note This image is from when Elena tells her husband she's pregnant with Shiho (Haibara's real name).

The only normal member of the family, Mortimer, fears that it's only a matter of time before his symptoms manifest, but he is relieved to learn that he is adopted. He probably did become a little loopy from the events he had to endure through the film, though; just not murderously loopy.

In the audience is Loki, who is positively terrified of the guy, and with good reason since Victor is an alternate of Kang, who just happens to look like a nebbish dweeb rather than the Obviously Evil looks of all his counterparts.

Unlike Vader (who only fit this trope in the brief period between completing his Faceâ€“Heel Turn and getting horribly scarred on Mustafar), he's entirely normal-looking without it, and Rey is visibly thrown that her terrifying captor is someone who she could pass on the street and never look at twice.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_b0028436	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: While the series is quite known for its ridiculously flamboyant villains, some of the very worst people in the series are the most normal-looking. In Stardust Crusaders, while most of DIO's assassins are pretty Obviously Evil, some look normal and like to blend into the crowd. Gray Fly looks like a plain old man and deliberately acts like he has no idea what is happening, while his Stand rips people apart. Captain Dragon looks quite ordinary, which he uses to deceive the Crusaders into thinking he's a normal guy hired by the Speedwagon Foundation. He's only exposed as a Stand User by Jotaro bluffing him. We barely get to see any of Arabia Fats, but when the heroes find him and knock him out, he's revealed to be a chubby, plain, and completely non-threatening man. Mariah is a normal-looking woman who Joseph asks for help before she reveals herself as the one behind the current Stand attack. Oingo and Boingo, in so much as they count as villains, do nothing to make themselves stand out and are able to take the place of servers in a cafe without anyone noticing. Yoshikage Kira of Diamond is Unbreakable, stands out among the series' major villains by how much he doesn't stand out; he makes an active effort to be as normal and unremarkable as possible, living a quiet and peaceful life while also regularly murdering women and taking their hands as trophies/"girlfriends". Resemblance to David Bowie aside, his appearance is nothing special, which makes for a chilling moment when, after he forces another Stand user to swap his appearance with another ordinary man he killed, the heroes lose him in a crowd and realize that he could be any of the people wandering in the street. And indeed, he is present in the crowd shot (alongside other characters who would properly debut later) establishing this; he's the guy with the black hair, white jacket, and pink pants facing away from the camera over to the right. The heroes had him in their sights all along, but never realized who they were looking at. Prosciutto from Golden Wind is one of the more normal looking members of Passione (and certainly has the most normal fashion sense), and spends most of his fight against Team Bucciarati hiding alongside the passengers of the train, even using his own Stand ability on himself to blend in with the infected civilians. Viviano Westwood from Stone Ocean appears to be a completely normal prison guard, but turns out to be a Stand user Pucci sent to assassinate Jolyne. To make the reveal all the more surprising, the chapter he appears in features many background characters with the flamboyant fashion sense readers usually associate with Stand users. The Eleven Riders from Steel Ball Run, a group of unnamed Stand users sharing a single Stand, have subdued designs that would not stand out in the manga's Western setting, fitting how they're meant to be an Old West variation of The Men in Black. In JoJolion, the Rock Humans are called out as being identical to normal humans when they're not hibernating in rock form; terrible fashion sense aside, most of them can and do infiltrate society and live normal lives.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_c4282b71	comment	In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, most of the villains that received major story arcs were usually beings on par with Physical Gods and other supernatural entities with sinister and terrifying appearances that were all bent on taking over Equestria. Later seasons, however, began to throw some of these into the mix. Season 5 introduces a unicorn named Starlight Glimmer, whose appearance, voice and name are so ordinary that it seems like she was taken from a database of background ponies and thrust into the role of an arc villain on a whim. This is very intentional as her entire philosophy is based on conformity and not standing out, and it serves to make her hypocrisy and insanity all the more striking. Season 8 introduces Cozy Glow, a pegasus filly who looks and acts as intimidating as a kitten, but in reality is a power-hungry child who conspired with Tirek to drain all the magic out of Equestria and makes friendships specifically to try and abuse The Power of Friendship for her own gain. And unlike Starlight Glimmer, she refuses to accept she was wrong.

Nobody guesses that the grandfatherly man◊ constantly reading the newspaper in a little diner is the mastermind of the organization that causes untold amounts of misery and crime on multiple continents. Even the police dismiss him at first. In the one picture they get of him, they initially write him off as a random bystander and think it's the man in the expensive suit standing next to him (a lawyer giving advice to the Greek) that is the mysterious kingpin they've been investigating.

This is particularly true in regards to v4, where there has been an increased focus on realism. Many, many characters in pre-game come off as people who you could easily find at your school in real life, but once you get to in-game... well, it brings out the worst in people. Danya himself can fit as well, as aside from bearing scars from attempts on his life he's described as someone who wouldn't particularly stand out in a crowd; Bryan Calvert even says Danya looks like his father.

While this trope is somewhat downplayed because cruel human experimentation performed on Edelgard as a child left her with a very unusual hair color, she otherwise looks a normal petite young woman who's rather attractive, if in a severe and aloof way. You can say this to the kid, but it's clear that they don't really get the idea that someone can do such bad things without looking evil. Ironically enough, this is the only route where Edelgard can assume a One-Winged Angel form that more than lives up to the kid's assumptions about her looking scary. Subverted with Monica and Tomas in Part 1. While they look like ordinary people, these are just disguises via Kill and Replace, and their true forms are much creepier. Played straight with the Arc Villain of the Cindered Shadows DLC, Aelfric, who's possibly the most mundane-looking villain in the Fire Emblem series, although they do get a One-Winged Angel form at the very end.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Not often used in the series, but this quote deserves mention: Played straight in Season 5 with Glory, a Physical God with Super-Strength, Super-Speed, and Nigh-Invulnerability... who looks like an average pretty girl you'd see on the street. In fact, the first time the Scoobies meet her, she's casually buying items for a spell at the Magic Box. Since only Buffy (who wasn't there) knew what she looked like, the gang thinks nothing of her until they realize she bought items for a dangerous Summoning Ritual and would require tremendous power to be able to perform that particular spell; cue Oh, Crap!. As a whole, vampires can easily pass for human, and there's virtually no way to tell them apart from humans until they assume their Game Face. This diminishes as a vamp gets older, where their ability to assume human form is lost.

However, one of the protagonists actually uses this to humanize them to a squad of soldiers, pointing out that theyâ€™re still ordinary citizens who love Cocoon, and that itâ€™s not their fault that they were around these godlike beings when they just happened to need servants.

This is justified as they were once human, although even then they both happened to be juvenile delinquents. The other androids and Cell avert this.

His anime character design is an average-looking man in a lab coat, in contrast to his Heathcliff avatar. Yet, he's still the Big Bad of the Aincrad arc. Sugou Nobuyuki is a power-hungry, sociopathic Corrupt Corporate Executive with a god complex, and in real life, looks like your average everyday guy in a business suit and glasses. Even Kirito didn't realize his true colors until Sugou sniffed Asuna's hair and gloated about their upcoming marriage.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_f0c816fb	comment	Breaking Bad: The series contrasts the over the top antics of the Axe-Crazy Salamanca clan with the ordinary-looking members of Gus' criminal organization. The Salamancas rely on intimidation and crazy violence for their reputation. Gus prefers to blend in and appear to be extremely boring and affable. He also goes to great lengths to make sure that his underlings do not attract any unnecessary attention. Walt strides the line between these two extremes as he knows that he has to be as nondescript as possible but his pride and ego constantly prompt him to do things that will get him noticed. Todd is a heartless, casual sociopath associated with a Neo-Nazi gang through his uncle, and is capable of killing an innocent little boy with no more reaction than a shrug and saying "Shit happens." He looks like a blonde all-American kid in his early 20s who seems like he was probably the friendly but slightly dim jock in high school who still hasn't fully outgrown his high school ways a few years after graduating. Overall, he looks like one of the show's most normal characters.

They Look Just Like Everyone Else! / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: In the episode "Intersections in Real Time", Sheridan has been captured and is being tortured in a prison cell somewhere. The Torture Technician who comes to make him give a False Confession is not a bloodthirsty brute, but a mild-looking and mostly soft-spoken bureaucrat who looks like a family accountant or somebody's math teacher, and who administers Electric Torture and poisoned food like it's just another day on the job. Word of God is that this was all intentional, as the creator wanted to remind his fans that not all evil men look or even act evil. While he's almost exclusively He Who Must Not Be Seen, the few times President Clark is seen onscreen, he has an ordinary appearance, and the fact that his name is so ordinary also adds into this trope. This is definitely not in effect for Mr. Morden, the most frequent human representative of the Shadows, but it is when Captain Sheridan briefly meets Justin, the highest-ranking human working for the Shadows, in "Z'ha'dum". Justin is a middle-aged man who has the air of a kindly grandfather, complete with a cane, bushy mustache, and enormous eyebrows. The very first thing he does upon meeting Sheridan is to invite Sheridan to have tea and explains that he has chamomile tea prepared because it helps Justin to sleep at night. If you saw him walking a hypothetical grandchild down the street, you'd probably automatically smile and/or nod at him just because he seems so likable.

One, George Marks, was overweight, balding—and a rabid misogynist who kidnapped women by disguising himself as a cop, then forced them to strip to their underwear and run through the woods for hours before finally finishing them off with a gunshot to the chest. The other, John Smith, was incredibly average looking and well-mannered, easily tempting his victims to walk away with him. And, you know, his name was John Smith, which is probably the blandest name in human history.
