When the phrase "tinpot dictator" is literal. Evil Overlords have the tendency to fight in full plate armor, even in settings where that doesn't actually make sense. Their armor usually has plenty of Spikes of Villainy and is Colour-Coded for Your Convenience in black. Usually, it conceals their face to make them appear more mysterious and menacing. Often upgraded to Powered Armor or a full-body prosthesis/life support system in more advanced settings. In fantasy settings, this is the standard look for the Black Knight. However, that doesn't always mean that an overlord of this type is solely a physical fighter. He might also be an Evil Sorcerer that made the wise choice of donning armor to offset his main weakness. Besides, they are almost always Large and in Charge so it's normal to see them as evil Magic Knights. And sometimes, the wearer might be secretly a girl. Spikes of Villainy and a Badass Cape are commonly used accessories. See also Animated Armor. Contrast with Chrome Champion. Not to be confused with Master Computer, where the tyrant is made of tin. |

Dragon Age: Loghain in Dragon Age: Origins is arguably an aversion: while he does run around in full plate armor, it appears to be standard, ordinary, off-the-shelf full plate and is silver instead of black. Of course, the armor was taken from another Tin Tyrant who occupied his nation. Knight-Commander Meredith in Dragon Age II is the dictator of Kirkwall in all but name and sports a slightly more elaborate set of Templar armor. Revenants, who are part of many Optional Boss fights (including Gaxkang) in both games, sport this look. They command other undead and use Mind over Matter to pull your Glass Cannon party members towards them. Revenants come into being when a Pride Demon (the most powerful kind) takes Demonic Possession of a corpse, and most are found after the player disturbs graves, a Tomeof Eldritch Lore, or touches Blood Magic vials. |

X-Men: Apocalypse in some interpretations. Namely, his outward image of a transcendent, semi-divine warlord with his pug-like face and blue lips is sometimes portrayed as a suit of Powered Armor which he borrowed from Sufficiently Advanced Aliens. Underneath it, he's really an ancient, withered husk of a man. Not that he minds: Although less armored (and evil, at least on a good day) than most, Magneto also qualifies. Cable's evil clone Stryfe, and later Cable himself. |

Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts II gets this form during the first and third stages of the final battle with him. He spends both fights slouching in the control chair of a spaceship, using his powers to fight. It turns out to be the Keyblade Armour of Master Xehanort, his original original incarnation. The armor itself becomes a merciless Superboss in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix. | |

Standard fare for the more physically inclined Fire Emblem Big Bads and higher enemies, especially the Disc-One Final Boss or The Heavy. In particular, the default class for a one-off boss is generally going to be one of the armored classes, be it Knight, General, Baron, or something similar. (This is due to the fact that it has the highest Defense, making it a good boss character, but also has enough exploitable weaknesses to be beaten without much trouble.) The originator of this trope is generally thought to be Rudolf, a Gold Knight from Fire Emblem Gaiden. Unsurprisingly, he's an absolute tank of a man in ridiculously heavy-looking equipment, though unlike many of his successors, he backs it up with a similarly well-built horse. Hardin, from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, more or less standardized the appearance of the Tin Tyrant among Big Bad figures in the series: crimson armor, massive weapon, Shoulders of Doom, gigantic mantle. He even gets a class to himself, called Emperor, and many others would follow suit. Arvis in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War takes on the Emperor class after the Time Skip—unlike Hardin, though, he's more of a Magic Knight, retaining his prowess from his days as a Sage. Zephiel in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade takes many cues from Hardin (down to also getting a personal class, that being King), though he goes for purple armor instead. The Black Knight in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, unsurprisingly for a Darth Vader Expy, wears a massive suit of black armor that conceals his face. He's more The Dragon than the Big Bad, though. Walhart the Conqueror, the second major Arc Villain in Fire Emblem: Awakening, is a tower of a man who dresses in grand crimson armor complete with horns (which earns him at least one lobster comparison), and in battle he rides a decked-out horse like Rudolf. Though never directly touched on or alluded to, Walhart rules and is battled in Valm, the setting of Gaiden several thousand years down the line, and he has several parallels to that game's protagonist (and both Walhart's nation and continent's present-day namesake), Rudolf's son Alm, so his similarities to Rudolf are most likely intentional. He also marks the first of these to be playable, albeit only thanks to dubiously canon Spotpass chapters. The Flame Emperor, also known as Edelgard in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the first of these to be female, as well as the first to be usable as a protagonist, albeit only in Crimson Flower. |

Wonder Woman villain Ares frequently adopts a look with layers of ornate and spiked blued armor, manifesting his face as nothing more than shadow and glowing red eyes.◊ Even when he's in his more casual look of dress pants and an open shirt he'll manifest a shadowy transparent version of his armor when he wants to make it clear he's not messing around. | |

Discussed in Schlock Mercenary, where the pun of this trope is brought to its extreme after the events of Credomar. LOTA, a robotic longshoreman built from the remains of a ruined tank, is naturally covered head to toe in heavy armor. LOTA is then voted in as sole ruler of the colony after the battle over food supplies. | |

The Garlean generals in Final Fantasy XIV all dress like this. Unlike a number of examples here, their armor tends to be functional on top of the form — Gaius van Baelsar, for example, seems to have a number of gizmos, like a gauntlet-gun, installed in his armor. Nael van Darnus, Big Bad of Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, deserves special mention because her armor managed to conceal her sex until it was later revealed in the T10 Binding Coil of Bahamut raid of A Realm Reborn.note It was at first thought that she was originally male and Bahamut's unusual resurrection magic caused her to come back wrong, but Word of God later clarified that she was not the true Nael — she disguised herself as her late brother and replaced him in order to exact revenge on the incompetent Garlean officers that were responsible for his death. The late Emperor of Garlemald, Solus zos Galvus, wore similar armor, except that his face was visible. His grandson and heir, Varis zos Galvus, is seen to be wearing similar armor as his late grandfather. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In The Silmarillion, Morgoth takes to dressing like this (though outside of it, at least his hands and face are left uncovered) after fleeing Valinor with the Silmarils. As described when he prepares to duel King Fingolfin: Sauron is shown in armor in the movies and the show; in the books, he's simply described as "A Terrible Dark Lord", "an image of malice and hatred made visible" (although he's usually portrayed like this by illustrators). In the movies, the Witch-King is something in between this and Animated Armor, since he's a disembodied undead spirit and needs the armor as a surrogate body to manipulate objects. The official The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game from Games Workshop gives rough identities to all nine Nazgul, meaning that as well as Sauron and the Witch King (using their movie designs), they also have the Dark Marshal and the Knight of Umbar. |

Exalted: The First and Forsaken Lion, an ancient, tyrannical ghost empowered by the dead makers of Creation to go out and kill everything. He's a master warlord and strategist in a gigantic suit of armor. Not that he has much choice, as he was welded into it as punishment for his first major screw-up. One of the signature Abyssals, Falling Tears Poet, is clad in heavy armour, wields a really big hammer, and is approximately the size of a bus. Bear in mind that one of the potential end arcs for the Abyssals is to overthrow and replace the Deathlords. |

The "evil" emperor in Journeys of the Catechist wears full plate armor. Ironically, not only is he a powerful sorcerer who doesn't need it for protection, it's used entirely to hide his appearance, which he considers ugly. | |

Skulduggery Pleasant features the armour of Lord Vile. Made worse by the fact that after the heroes face him, it is revealed that he isn't in there, but has become part of the suit formed from part of the former wearers' personality which has stayed in the suit. The former wearer is Skulduggery himself. | |

Berserk is naturally filled with villains (and some heroes) in this style. Probably the most notable one is the legendary High King Gaiseric, also known as the Skull King for his preferred helmet style. In an interesting subversion, if he and the Skull Knight are one and the same person as most fans believe, he became a good guy (relatively speaking) after becoming undead. | |

The other Post-Crisis, pre-Infinite Crisis Zod (like the Communist Zod, possibly wiped from existence as a result of Infinite Crisis) wears a black suit of armour with Spikes of Villainy. |

In The Wheel of Time, Demandred goes in for this look when leading the Shadow's armies at the Last Battle. Somewhat unusually, though his armor includes a helmet and mask, he keeps it off for most of his pagetime, preferring to show his actual (rather normal-looking) face. The armor is also silver, going in for Light Is Not Good rather than Dark Is Evil. | |

In Fate/Apocrypha, the Saber of Red invokes this trope, wearing a full-body suit of silver and red with numerous spikes, a BFS and capped off with a demonic-looking horned helmet, and is actually Mordred, the traitor of the Knights of the Round Table... except she has the same body size and build as her "dad" and looks like a teenaged girl underneath. More than one character actually comments on the stark difference when she takes her helmet off. Also, she's actually pretty nice behind her jerkish demeanor. | |

DC Extended Universe: In Man of Steel, General Zod (along with his remaining followers) wears a black, spikey Kryptonian suit of armor that was salvaged when he and his followers roamed the galaxies in search of Kryptonian life/technology after being freed from the Phantom Zone. He eventually ditches it to fight Superman in the climax since it offers no real advantage against him. In Zack Snyder's Justice League, the New God Steppenwolf, a commander of armies of Darkseid, wears a mean-looking body-covering silvery suit of adaptive armor. |

He serves as the Big Bad in Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion and appears as a knight clad fully in silver armor, wielding a BFS one-handed.

Being set in a medieval society, most of the lords in A Song of Ice and Fire wear heavy, elaborate, and damned expensive plate armor when they go into battle. Bling of War is, frankly, endemic everywhere — especially among the most powerful of lords and rulers. The Boltons' may be the most sinister sets, however, as their armor is designed to look like their sigil of the flayed man while all nicely tinted red... in case any of their opponents should lack basic anatomical knowledge and could therefore use the hint. Also, they are right bastards: if stories are correct, this goes back to when they were known as the Red Kings of the Dreadfort. Yeah. Lannisters do it with gold on everything, Targaryens love their scales, onyx, and rubies, but the Boltons just use very expensive Squick. | |

The DCU: Superman: One version of Zod wears a pink suit of armor — err, red. Totally red. Manly red. It should be red, thematically, seeing as he's both a Communist and takes his power from red suns. The other Post-Crisis, pre-Infinite Crisis Zod (like the Communist Zod, possibly wiped from existence as a result of Infinite Crisis) wears a black suit of armour with Spikes of Villainy. Wonder Woman villain Ares frequently adopts a look with layers of ornate and spiked blued armor, manifesting his face as nothing more than shadow and glowing red eyes.◊ Even when he's in his more casual look of dress pants and an open shirt he'll manifest a shadowy transparent version of his armor when he wants to make it clear he's not messing around. |

The Final Fantasy series' more medieval installments love this trope, as seen at the top of the page. Garland in Final Fantasy (although his characterization in Dissidia is more similar to that of a Blood Knight). Emperor Mateus Palamecia in Final Fantasy II: although he doesn't have a helmet, he certainly has a golden and violet suit of armor. Golbez in Final Fantasy IV, as befits a Darth Vader Expy. Lampshaded by Gilgamesh in Dissidia: Exdeath in Final Fantasy V. Being a shapeshifter (and a sapient tree), it's unclear if he wears a suit of armour, or if that's simply the form he chooses to take. All the Judges in Final Fantasy XII, but especially Gabranth, another Darth Vader Expy. The fal'Cie play with this, since they appear to be made of tin. The Garlean generals in Final Fantasy XIV all dress like this. Unlike a number of examples here, their armor tends to be functional on top of the form — Gaius van Baelsar, for example, seems to have a number of gizmos, like a gauntlet-gun, installed in his armor. Nael van Darnus, Big Bad of Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, deserves special mention because her armor managed to conceal her sex until it was later revealed in the T10 Binding Coil of Bahamut raid of A Realm Reborn.note It was at first thought that she was originally male and Bahamut's unusual resurrection magic caused her to come back wrong, but Word of God later clarified that she was not the true Nael — she disguised herself as her late brother and replaced him in order to exact revenge on the incompetent Garlean officers that were responsible for his death. The late Emperor of Garlemald, Solus zos Galvus, wore similar armor, except that his face was visible. His grandson and heir, Varis zos Galvus, is seen to be wearing similar armor as his late grandfather. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: The Sworn Six of Paladia are the mayor antagonists during the first season of the game and they all resemble tin tyrants with elemental powers. Major spoilers from Season 3: The True Hollow Keepers are also a group of tin tyrants, this time with a card motif. They also don sleeker, form-fitting armors that wouldn't look out of place in a Super Sentai or Kamen Rider serial, contrasting with the bulky, over-the-top armors of the Sworn Six. |

In The Witcher, the Big Bad first appears unhelmed, presumably to make better use of his charisma, then passes for a Magic Knight for a time, and then subverts the helmet trope when what's Beneath the Mask shows. | |

Death's Hand in Jade Empire is the Emperor's right-hand man, who had his departed soul bound to a black suit of armour. Master Li declares that "That is the armour of a man who knows no remorse, no pity." The irony is that said armour originally belonged to Master Li. | |

Super Sentai: Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: Iron Man Mask General Temujin is a despot clad in a thick suit of iron armor. Commander-in-Chief Golden Mask similarly wears a suit of gold, pharaoh-style armor. Fuhrer Hell Saturn, the ruler of Machine Empire Black Magma in Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan wears a suit of black armor, concealing the fact that he is a mechahuman. Robogog of the 10-sai is the ruler of the Matrintis Empire in Tensou Sentai Goseiger and has a metal robotic body. He's actually a Full-Conversion Cyborg, so his body is his armor. |

Warhammer: Chaos Lords from Warhammer usually wear heavy plate armour decorated with loads of spikes and symbols of Chaos. Chaos Lords and Sorcerers from Warhammer 40,000 wear Powered Armor (or even heavier Terminator armour) decorated with loads of spikes and symbols of Chaos, as well as... er... trophies. In fact, at one point, the mark of a true Chaos Warrior was being granted Chaos Armor, which fused to their skin, could never be removed, and if damaged would grow back. Ork Warlords have a habit of turning up wearing mega armour, which makes them Rusty Iron, Tin, Ceramite, Adamantium, And Rubber Tyrants. Dark Eldar Archons usually wear heavy armor in the style of the Incubi, instead of the form-fitting constructions worn by most of their warriors. Dark Elf Dreadlords usually wear heavy plate armor, and in some cases don't show their faces often. The ruler of the dark elves Malekith has to wear armor all the time. After the Flame of Asuryan opinioned that he was unworthy of becoming the Phoenix King, he's needed a suit of magical armor to give his ruined body strength. Averted by the God-Emperor of Manking himself, who is the closest 40k has to a Big Good... which isn't saying very much, considering the setting. |

Shinzo: Both the first and final Arc Villains are armored tyrants. King Daku, the leader of the Insect Enterrans, is made to resemble Tough Beetles. Lanancuras, the Final Boss, looks like a red-eyed giant in rock-themed armor. He's not an Enterran but a Celestial, who normally look like angels with golden wings, so it's implied that Evil Makes You Monstrous is at play here. |

Darth Krayt from Star Wars: Legacy is a bit of a subversion, as the armor is a part of him. It's Yuuzhan Vong armor, a collection of crustaceans that have bonded to his skin to provide lightsaber-proof armor at the expense of unending agony as they attempt to digest him. Darth Bane wore similar armor, but not of Vong origin. | |

The Lord Marshal of the Necromongers in The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) is rather nostalgic for a space conqueror, forgoing any sort of conventional or futuristic outfit for a plate armor suit that he never takes off, only removing his helmet from time to time. Most of his followers are no different, presumably because of their martial society. | |

Once an ancient Evil Overlord in life, he became an even more dangerous conqueror in death, determined to drag Runeterra into his kingdom in The Underworld. He wears a giant suit of armor into his battles, and it's also his means of tethering to the physical world — without it, he only exists in unlife. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Frieza and his father seem to wear a (relatively small) suit of armor for no reason than this trope, as they're so immensely powerful that anything capable of actually hurting them would shred their armor like paper. In a variation, removing the armor is the first thing Frieza does upon getting serious, as for most of the time he's in a power-restricted form and his less power-restricted forms are for the most part much larger. | |

In the original Dragonlance trilogy, all of the Dragon Highlords had ceremonial plate armor with elaborate helmets. Verminaard actually fought in his. It backfired, as he had no peripheral vision in the armor, and when he suddenly lost his cleric powers, he was killed shortly afterwards. | |

In Zack Snyder's Justice League, the New God Steppenwolf, a commander of armies of Darkseid, wears a mean-looking body-covering silvery suit of adaptive armor. | |

Hakumen from BlazBlue combines this with being a Samurai Robot. However, Hakumen's armor houses his soul rather than his body. His original body was too broken to be of any further use, hence the upgrade. | |

Transformers: Megatron, being the leader of an army of Killer Robots, qualifies by default. Tarantulas even calls the Beast Wars incarnation one on one occasion. In fact, just about any evil Transformer in a position of authority would qualify. Even Thunderwing and Bludgeon, who generally stayed in their Pretender shells, fit the bill; Thunderwing's shell could pass for at least mostly machine, while Bludgeon's was a skeletal samurai. |

The Witcher: In The Witcher, the Big Bad first appears unhelmed, presumably to make better use of his charisma, then passes for a Magic Knight for a time, and then subverts the helmet trope when what's Beneath the Mask shows. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the King of the Wild Hunt is presented as an enormous man in a spiky, bone-themed suit of armour and a skull-shaped helmet with a crown on top. |
