Tyrant Takes the Helm	comment	Did your new leader start off their reign by making a speech that included phrases such as "there will be many changes around here" or "things will be very different under my command"? If so, then you're in a situation where a Tyrant Takes the Helm. This is a plot trope relating to a Story Arc where a character snags a major leadership position, becomes Drunk with Power, and decides that from here on out, things will be run their way whether anyone else likes it or not. The person regularly filling this position, often a Reasonable Authority Figure, will likely be absent during this time (and this new replacement may have had something to do with that). As would be expected of a tyrannical ruler, expect them to immediately start making rigorous and questionable changes and becoming an instant despot. And if he personally knew his predecessor, he's likely going to make it damn clear that he won't be as "soft" or "lenient" as the last guy, or "baby" his subordinates like the last guy. Common changes made include the elimination of Ultimate Job Security and the decree that All Crimes Are Equal. In most cases, the heroes will have to confront this new ruler and attempt to change things back to normal. A common subversion of this trope is the Bait-and-Switch Tyrant, who is signalled to be unreasonable and cruel in their introduction but turns out to not be that bad after all, with the story demonstrating that the characters have come to accept the new rules. If the character who temporarily takes control isn't malicious or obnoxious, but is simply grossly incompetent, see Sketchy Successor. If the tyrant took the helm of a corporation by acquiring 51% of its stock, they're a Majority-Share Dictator. Remember, this isn't a trope for describing characters who become tyrants, but for describing a plot point of when (and possibly how) a character takes over for someone else and institutes new rules that are generally disliked by the majority of those affected. Be aware of spoilers! Examples

At first his colleagues are happy to see the back of Malcolm Tucker but when they realize how creepy, charmless, and bad-tempered his replacement is, they decide they want their jerk to come back from his 10-Minute Retirement. Also Cal "The Fucker" Richards, who replaces Stewart Pearson as Opposition campaign manager in the Season Three finale. His openly psychotic demeanor terrifies everyone, even the usually unflappable Peter Mannion. Fortunately Cal's only around for one episode, but things can't have been pleasant.

And nobody bothers to wonder where they went. The Monastery's Witch Hunts are steadily growing in ferocity and frequency. The populace is being slowly subsumed into a haze, with dreams of a shining light that commands all to obey the Monastery. The Four Archangels are back in town, steadily and gently Mind Raping everybody to consolidate their rule.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_11b7db91	comment	Essentially the whole plot of the Adventure Time episode "Too Young". Although the earl of Lemongrab isn't evil or malicious in his intentions (he's more of an angry, inexperienced, spoiled child), his style of ruling is summed up by his quote from the storyboards: "Anyone who disagrees or disobeys will be thrown into the dungeon." He isn't an intentional tyrant, but he does end up sending literally everyone in the Candy Kingdom to the dungeon for "one million years". At the end of the sixth season, the King of Ooo (who previously was king in name only) tricks the citizens of the Candy Kingdom into electing him princess, leaving Princess Bubblegum to live in exile. For the first few episodes of the seventh season he proves to be a selfish and incompetent leader, and is eventually overthrown by his lackey Crunchie, who in turn makes himself the new ruler. Bubblegum eventually retakes her kingdom offscreen.

The first one is Steve, who takes over as head of marketing and promptly attempts to get a cute turtle inserted into the skateboarding game they're designing. He's later vanished by the Chinese mafia, and replaced by Alastair, who turns the game into an edutainment title about a prince and a flying carpet. He frustrates the characters so much that they find and rescue Steve.

He declares that he's going to increase discipline onboard ship and starts out by holding summary court martials in which he sentences a quarter of the crew to death - within one day of taking command. Since they were four days away from their homeport, the crew figured that at his current rate the XO would end up killing everyone by the time the ship made it back, and they hastily devised a plan to subvert his insanity (Note that the Francis S Mueller was the duty posting for everyone the Navy didn't want at an important posting but hadn't screwed up enough to be thrown out... yet).

The first time is in "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" when announcing Ned Flanders as replacement principal, and the second time is in "The PTA Disbands" with Marge Simpson becoming a substitute teacher. Inverted in "My Sister, My Sitter". After Lisa proves herself a reliable babysitter for the neighborhood, Homer and Marge leave her in charge when they go out. Lisa tries to be fair, but Bart (hating the idea of being babysat by his little sister) is as difficult as possible. After a series of pranks, he winds up breaking his arm in a fall. Naturally, it goes downhill from there. Played straight in "The Parent Rap" when Judge Constance Harm (an exaggerated parody of Judge Judy) takes over for Judge Snyder.

He institutes a number of changes, including the UST-inducing ban on workplace dating, in addition to shaking up the Parks Department by giving everyone new assignments that they're unsuited for. However, Chris is quite a nice guy; he's simply oblivious to the fact that not everyone is as efficient, cheerful, and professional as he is. Ron discusses the tendency for new city managers to shake things up and insist on doing things their own way. He loves this period because all of the changes are inevitably terrible and nothing gets done, giving him a chance to relax and eat doughnuts.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_2b785ed	comment	The back half of The Case Of The Golden Idol revolves around Villain Protagonist Lazarus Herst and his rise to power in a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of 18th-century England. To wit: Lazarus infiltrates the Brotherhood of Masks, and uses the eponymous Idol (an Artifact of Doom with vast alchemical powers) to convince the Brotherhood that he's their Chosen One and eliminate any dissenters in the process. Lazarus runs for office in Parliament and forms a new political faction. With the Brotherhood's connections in high society and government, his New Order Party wins a plurality of seats, and his co-conspirators prevent a coalition from rising against him by mudering one of the coalition leaders and framing the other for the deed. Within a few years, the Order Party has "freed the country from the chaos of multi-party government" by installing a totalitarian regime, and forces its citizens to live under a set of strict Virtues. Citizens who violate the Virtues (even something as innocuous as wearing a silly hat in public or listening to "vulgar" music) are judged to lose a certain number of "merits" and punished by using the Idol's powers to take years off of their lifespan, which are then redistributed to more virtuous citizens and Order Party sycophants. Lazarus intends to lead an army to depose the monarchy and secure his rule indefinitely, up until an error in judgement and a Spanner in the Works causes his death and the Idol's destruction, and the Order Party collapses almost overnight.

This has the effect of creating the Watchmen's Guild. This is ultimately corrected when Captain Carrot returns from his "sabbatical". Humorously, this had little effect on the city's crime rates; if anything, crime rates went down, since all the criminals knew that this state of events would put Commander Vimes in a foul mood when he got back and nobody wanted to be on the receiving end of that.

His New Era Speech just after his inauguration features him declaring himself as Emperor of L'Manburg and exiling his greatest political opponents, POG2020 (the previous administration as well as two of the founders of L'Manburg) from the country and forcing them to Run or Die in the same sentence. In the same livestream, he changes the name of the country to Manburg and tries to remove the remnants of the founders' influence on the country (e.g. tearing down the walls of L'Manburg that marked their borders). Considering how light-hearted the rest of the Election arc wasnote from the silly names of the electoral campaigns (Politicians of Gaming 2020, So We Are Gamers 2020, Coconut2020, and Schlatt2020) to Fundy (the leader of Coconut2020) being publicly ridiculed for being caught trying to commit voter fraud just minutes before the announcement of the electoral results (the fraudulent votes were ultimately disqualified), the turn of events that came with Schlatt becoming President is exceptionally jarring, and after this particular incident, all of the subsequent plotlines became significantly Darker and Edgier.

He doesn't seem to have any actual use for the city, but he does have a Dragon undergoing a serious Villainous Breakdown, who might mess up Aizen's current projects if kept around. So he turns the city over to Gin to get him out of the way. Gin proceeds to rule using torture and gruesome public execution to keep himself in charge and using the members of the Gotei 13 who didn't join La RÃ©sistance to enforce his reign of terror rather than allowing them to do their actual job as Psychopomps. It's worth noting Gin's rule differs from the Central 46 and Yamamoto only for the fact that the abuses are more public and obvious. New Boss very much the same as the Old Boss.

However, despite several near-deaths on Jaha's part, Kane never succeeds him during the first season. By the time Kane does become Chancellor in season two he has undergone enough character development where he is no longer even a potential Tyrant. Charles Pike came down to Earth from Farm Station, which landed away from the location of Camp Jaha and never took part in the Ark/Grounder truce of the second season. Because he witnessed Grounder slaughtering more than a hundred of his people he has a fanatical hatred of them and believes that coexistence is impossible, and is nominated for Chancellor after trying to carry out a preemptive strike on a Grounder army that Lexa had sent to protect Arkadia. He wins the election and is appointed Chancellor, and immediately orders the launch of preemptive strike.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_49ad83ee	comment	Garrosh Hellscream from World of Warcraft embodies this trope to its fullest. When the Cataclysm wreaks havoc upon Azeroth, Thrall abandons his position as Warchief of the Horde to fulfill his shamanistic duties to the elements and leaves Garrosh in his stead. While his humble acceptance of the position looks at first to be promising, it does not take long for the power to get to his head. His radical beliefs of orc supremacy and disregard for other races - even those allied to the Horde - force him to be the primary antagonist of Mists of Pandaria and a minor antagonist of the next expansion, Warlords of Draenor. And with Battle for Azeroth, the Forsaken leader Sylvanas Windrunner assumes the title of Warchief and promptly takes the uneasy cold war which has been going so far and tosses it into the fire. OhCrap. After Sylvanas is ousted from the position, the Horde comes to the conclusion that the Warchief position itself enables tyrants. They instead form a council to lead the Horde to ensure this doesn't happen again.

However, the patriarch and his two sons got killed in a power dispute by Leonardo Hapoon who took over the business aiming to use his newfound power in unethical matters and arms dealing as well as sending a Carnival of Killers against the Sole Survivor and her baby son to clean up loose ends. This prompts the Shopkeeper to assign Yor Forger and her manager to protect them until they can get smuggled out of Ostania.

While Nobunaga was an all-powerful man who sold his soul to the genma for his ambitions, you at least had the feeling that he had no ill will towards his enemies and was lost in his ambition, not trying to be a genma puppet or cause suffering to the people he wanted to rule. Hideyoshi, on the other hand, pretty much tries to turn the entire country and possibly the world into mind-controlled monsters and has people used to make Genma trees that will allow his plans to work. He's ultimately a pawn, but he went to lengths willingly that Nobunaga might actually be disgusted with.

As a sign that his rule will not be kind one, he threatens to murder the children of his opponents and burns Wakanda's sacred garden so that only he can have the Black Panther's power. Loki initially plays this straight after Odin goes into Odinsleep from the stress of banishing Thor and revealing Loki's true heritage in Thor, refusing Sif and the Warrior's Three's request to bring Thor back from exile, tricking Laufey, his biological father, into killing Odin only for Loki to kill him to win Odin's approval and tries to destroy JÃ¶tunheim after Thor returns. When he steals the throne from Odin again after the events of Thor: The Dark World, the worst he does to his subjects is force them to watch incredibly hammy plays of his own heroic deeds in Thor: Ragnarok and banishes Sif because she knows that "Odin" is actually Loki. Ironically, the latter part of Loki's second usurping saves her life when Hela returns to Asgard and kills the Warrior's Three. Played straight with Hela, Odinâ€™s firstborn daughter, returns to Asgard to reclaim her â€œbirthrightâ€� after defeating Loki and Thor in battle. She immediately demands that the Asgardian army accept her as their rightful queen, convinced that they will welcome her back and enthusiastically support her ambitions to return Asgard to its blood-soaked past. When they refuse, she proceeds to slaughter the entire army. For the rest of her reign, her only subjects are terrified civilians, and one reluctant collaborator.

The second takes over when Foyle resigns and is disliked by everyone because he seems disinterested and incompetent at the job — it's later revealed he's like this because he doesn't care about anything since the deaths of his two sons in the war. He ends up accidentally getting shot by someone gunning for Milner, thus prompting Foyle's return.

She immediately tries to magically seal it off from the outside world and doom the refugees they were hosting to certain death outside, even almost murdering one of their children for attempting to disrupt it. Once a good-aligned player rescues Halsin, he reads her the riot act and demotes her. It's possible to discover that she's being manipulated by the Eco-Terrorist cult known as the Shadow Druids and convince her to have a Heelâ€“Face Turn. Lord Gortash, Barbarian Hero Karlach's Arch-Enemy and Chosen of the god of tyranny and strife Bane, gets himself named archduke of the titular city by brainwashing the current duke (companion/Player Character Wyll's father) and uses the climate of fear created by his partners to justify turning the city into a nightmarish Police State with towering magitek Mecha-Mooks patrolling the streets. The Dark Urge's Arch-Enemy Orin the Red was The Starscream who betrayed him out of jealousy for being the favorite of their God of Evil Bhaal (as well as everyone else). With him gone she becomes head of their Religion of Evil, with everyone aware that she's an Inadequate Inheritor but still the most qualified one available due to her being the only other Bhaalspawn besides her grandfather Sarevok.

O'Neill then sets out to get Hammond back and he is, of course, successful by the end of the episode.

Considering the fact that he has no ideology compared to Ryan, this gives him no restraints as the ruler of the city, and considering that Ryan's own restraints basically amounted to "don't screw with me or Rapture as a whole" that resulted in him trying to use sedative gas on the entire populace to maintain order, really goes to show just how ridiculously far he's prepared to go. Bioshock 2: After Jack is finished killing both tyrants and leaves, the city is taken over by Sophia Lamb, a cult leader who was busy being in jail - while turning all the staff and inmates to her cause. And after she's defeated, computer scientist Wahl was planning to bide his time with Rapture's mainframe until he could finally compute Maxwell's Demon and take over the universe - but he gets shot by Delta, who wants the technology to fix what's left of Rapture instead.

Within the short period of time he leads the town, he demonstrates just how egotistical he is by imposing taxes on all the townsfolk, bossing the citizens around for his own purposes, and acting like a king, even donning a crown and king's cape. When Samosa convinces Mr. Fried Fritter to take the position of mayor, Cham Cham super-glues himself to the chair in the town hall in a vain attempt to keep Fritter from replacing him.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_82439e64	comment	Played with several times in the U.S. version of The Office (US), most notably in the episode "The Job". Michael, assuming he will be promoted, names as his replacement Dwight, who immediately starts making odd changes. This is also the crux of the Charles Miner story arc when Michael quits. Happened yet again with Dwight when Steve Carell left the show. This time, Dwight went on an utterly insane power trip, which is probably more a tribute to how much he had Flanderized than anything. After one episode, he was fired for firing a gun in the office, though he of course retained his old job. Subverted in the show's final episodes where Jim manages to put a Batman Gambit in effect where through a bit of Insane Troll Logic all of Dwight's crazy tyrannical policies are delegated back to Dwight to deal with. Forced to be his own Only Sane Employee, Dwight mellows out a lot and after a few months becomes the best manager the company ever had.

When Miss Bubb, the tyrant in question, takes over as temporary headmistress after Miss Wilson, Miss Annersley, and others are injured in a car crash, her fixation on exam results and crackdowns on the girls' free time and privileges makes her very unpopular, to the point where Joey writes a letter begging Miss Wilson to come back. Things come to a head when she forbids Gay Lambert - who has broken rules on more than one occasion - to see her older brother before he is stationed in Asia, which leads to Gay running away and culminates in Miss Bubb having to resign, to everyone's relief.

Also applies when a new sergeant of the guard or underling comes in. They're almost invariably sterner than the usuals. Also might apply to Crittendon. He's technically an ally, but he's both overcontrolling and a complete moron. Special mention goes to the episode where Schultz is put in charge. After taking advice from Hogan about how officers are supposed to act, his usual "I see nothing" attitude flies out the window and he starts treating the prisoners like, well, prisoners. Of course Hogan and the guys immediately start devising schemes to return to the status quo.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Godzilla is taken out of action by the Oxygen Destroyer striking him, and without him around to fight anymore, his Arch-Enemy Ghidorah immediately steals his kingship. Ghidorah instantly sets about engulfing the globe in massive storms, rampant Titans, and other disasters which threaten to cause planet-wide extinction. The humans' main theory is that Ghidorah is violently xenoforming the planet in his own image, but the novelization briefly suggests that maybe Ghidorah really just wants every other living thing dead.

He started out trying to be reasonable, but when faced with the increasingly difficult decisions command gave him, he started alienating the rest of the camp (Margaret even tells him off by saying "If Frank Burns could see you now!"). Luckily, Potter returned and smoothed things over. It becomes something of a learning experience for Hawkeye, who takes command not quite so seriously the next time Potter leaves him in command. Colonel Potter, by contrast, was something of a Bait-and-Switch Tyrant. The one time Winchester took the helm, this trope only applied to Klinger, whom Winchester employed as his batman. Everyone else was more exasperated by how much a nonentity in command he was, interested only in listening to Wagner and otherwise indulging in the privileges of rank than actually running the unit. Subverted in the original film. Frank is left in command at one point, but he's so disrespected that he essentially has no authority.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_9068877a	comment	Red vs. Blue Simmons tries to implement discipline exercises to reinforce his new position of power in Red army when he replaces Sarge. The Red army doesn't respect Simmons enough for this to work, however, and the group as a whole soon works towards getting Sarge back (including Simmons). When Carolina decides to use the Reds and Blues to kill the Director, she imposes military-style discipline and no-challenge orders on them all. Given their normal Mildly Military style, and the feeling that she's using them as cannon fodder, the Reds and Blues become increasingly reluctant to follow her, and are puzzled by Washington's submissive attitude; Washington who has fallen into his Freelancer subordination to Carolina is also becoming increasingly frustrated with her behaviour. Eventually, the Reds and Blues mutiny against Carolina and abandon her, and Washington takes their side, telling Carolina to learn the difference between friends and enemies. Discussed trope when Washington takes over as Blue Leader after the ship crashes, Washington institutes standard military discipline, forcing the Blues to stick to a rigorous schedule every day. Although Simmons is thrilled with Washington's style, the Blues are not. Tucker accuses him of being tyrannical and compares it to Church's laid-back attitude. Wash eventually admits that he's never been in a position of command before; he's being harsh partially to hide his nerves, partially to hide his worry over their survival situation, and partially because he thinks Tucker has far more potential than Tucker's ever realised. It's made clear that, while it's tyrannical by the simm troopers standards, it's pretty normal drill sargent behaviour for the rest of the military.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_90ab7fe1	comment	Recess: One episode has Gus appointed as Acting King of the Playground while King Bob is away. His insane edicts culminate with enslaving the entire playground and forcing everyone to dig in the "cookie mines" (nobody's brave enough to ask why he expects to find cookies underground). Randall became one of these after blackmailing King Bob with a photo of a dress he was forced to wear by his sister. In one episode King Bob himself devolves from a Reasonable pseudo-authority figure to an Egyptian tyrant after feeling like he'll be forgotten: being inspired by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, he renames himself "Pharaoh Bob" and forces everyone to build him a pyramid. The principal who seeks to replace Principal Prickly, who is not only immune to the pranks by TJ at first go (and in fact gives an Early Room 101 discipline) but plans to turn the school to Auschwitz or Airstrip One Elementary school. The only reason he doesn't end up being the next principal was because Prickly chose not to become a middle-school principal for the childrenâ€™s sake (while claiming it was because of a poor pay offer). One episode sees King Bob preoccupied with a biographer, leaving his usually reliable assistants to handle affairs of the playground. When there's an issue they're not sure how to resolve, they come upon rules created by one King Mortie. This seems to work out, but the rules become increasingly bizarre. (Turns out Mortie was Acting King of the Playground during the Great Depression Era and his rules were meant to ensure that the poor kids would always have something to play with.) T.J. and company want things to go back to normal, but King Bob's assistants get a little too comfortable dictating these rules and effectively establish a secret police to enforce things. But don't worry, King Bob sets everything straight.

She is only able to regain her position of power by delivering said technology right into Harding's hands, a move made out of desperation and perhaps qualitatively worse than anything she has done on the show before. Of course, she's spurred on by this bit of inspirational wisdom from Boyd after they learn that Harding plans to send a number of the actives to a new house in Dubai: Of course, given The Reveal later on that Boyd is the ultimate Big Bad running the corporation, this entire chain of events may have been orchestrated.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_999855bb	comment	In the Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade campaign "Festival of Life", the player ends up doing this. The protagonist of the campaign, Kilgor, is an ambitious and Ax-Crazy barbarian participating in the traditional contest in which barbarians can challenge the king of Krewlod for the throne. The current ruler, Winston Boragus, is actually something of a Reasonable Authority Figure by barbarian standards. Through charisma and diplomacy, Boragus improved Krewlod's standing and recruited many formidable and capable warriors to join his banner. Unfortunately, this meant that when Kilgor wins and slays him at the end of the campaign, said army becomes his to command. Even worse, Kilgor had burned down many of Krewlod's farms during the Festival of Life, plunging Krewlod into the worst famine in its history. Kilgor's "solution" was to declare war on the rest of Enroth to plunder their lands. This would lead to Enroth's doom.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Joffrey Baratheon becomes King of Westeros after his father's death. Almost immediately he uses his power in abusing and killing people whenever he feels like it. He is unaware that he would not be King if not for his family's proper managing skills, and he was killed by the family of his would-be Queen because he was a sadistic idiot. His mother Cersei Lannister isn't far behind, as Queen Regent she empowers people of questionable loyalty, and is sabotaging the Alliance between the Lannisters and the Tyrells. Very soon she is removed from power, and the Kingdom of Westeros is slowly plunging into ruin. Under the Lannister regime we have other examples of tyrants taking over. When the Starks, the beloved rulers of the North, are betrayed at the Red Wedding by the Freys and Boltons, Roose Bolton personally murdering his liege Robb Stark, the Boltons are rewarded with control of the North. Despite Roose's talk of "a quiet land, a quiet people", under the new regime his monstrous son Ramsay Snow, "the Bastard of Bolton", is legitimized as Roose's heir and goes round the North committing atrocities, flaying, murdering and raping people. However this trope is deconstructed, as many of the Northerners despise the Boltons, especially Ramsay, and Roose notes that his son's cruelty means they will never hold the North successfully. In the history of Westeros Maegor the Cruel's reign was this, when Maegor seized the Iron Throne after his half-brother Aenys' death, even decapitating the Maester who pointed out his brother's sons should inherit before him. Maegor was a monstrous sadist, committing atrocities and murdering two of his nephews. Though played with in that under Aenys the realm was already unstable, due to Aenys' weakness and inability to act decisively, leading to conflicts with the Faith, though the conflict became much more brutal when Maegor took over. Fortunately Aenys' youngest son Jaehaerys I proved to be perhaps the most capable King to ever sit the Iron Throne. Fire & Blood also has the regency of Aegon III. When the reliable Tyland Lannister dies of the Winter Fever, someone summons slimy plotter Unwin Peake to be Hand of the King. Peake immediately sets about firing or removing much of the King's council and replacing them with relatives and toadies, overriding the king's own choices and telling him to shut up whenever he actually does try objecting because he's "just a boy", and might well have arranged the death of Aegon's first wife so he'd be forced to marry Unwin's daughter. This state of affairs continues for three years until the other regents finally get fed up with Peake, who threatens to quit as Hand if his demands aren't met, and is met with the response "go right ahead".

A bit of a subversion in this case as the hard-nosed by-the-book leader is replaced with a much more laid back one, but it ends up playing out much the same as the Reapers begin to realize the consequences of their irresponsibility (both for themselves and the people around them).

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_a599305d	comment	Throughout the Mega Man Zero series, Neo Arcadia has a quick succession of rulers. The first was X (hero of the predecessor Mega Man X series), who establishes the city as a safe haven for humans and Reploids alike. After he disappears, he's replaced by a vastly inferior clone, Copy-X; he's still benevolent to humans, but he decided that because of an energy crisis, the Reploids are demoted to 2nd-class citizens, branding them Mavericks and unjustly persecuting them. After Copy-X's death, he was briefly replaced by Noble Top Enforcer Harpuia, who tries to keep the issues with the rebellion as cordial as he could manage. He gets usurped from the position when Copy-X returned to power, who was much worse than before he was killed. And he was merely an Unwitting Pawn for Dr. Weil, who orchestrates Copy-X's second (and permanent) death to position himself as the new leader of Neo Arcadia, setting him above his predecessors as truly the worst of the lot.

He then frames Springer and his pony friends for Sirius' murder while declaring himself the new chief, imprisoning the other elders so they can't question his leadership, and prepares the rest of Aurarora to go to war against Equestria, too blind to understand that would wipe out the entire Jakhowl race. After Mirage and the elders escape during the night, they inform Springer the only true way to stop Razor Fang is for him to challenge Razor to a kyosongsai, a one on one battle to determine the chief of a tribe, and beat him. Ultimately, Springer not only defeats Razor, he exposes him as the true murderer.

At first, he's supposed to simply fill in for Santa on basic tasks like checking in on the elves' work and the high-rank elves in the know have little problem passing him off as Santa (who had some work done), but with time he gains more autonomy and decides he needs to check the list twice, at which point he discovers all of the kids in the world should be on the naughty list (by his "there exists" argument of naughtiness) and the high-rank elves start arguing with him. Soon, he builds an army of toy soldiers, insists no more toys are built, and puts the highest-ranking official around under house arrest for exposing him as a fraud. It's later shown that he imprisoned many more of the elves and he even ties up the real Santa when he returns.

Well, and he has a personal grudge against Raynor. As of Heart of the Swarm, he has finally been deposed. His son, Valerian, who inherited his position, is way more benevolent as a ruler. The Tal'darim were Amon's Religion of Evil zealots, until Alarak realized his master planned to destroy everything and sided with the heroes out of necessity. Once Amon was defeated, Alarak solidified his control of the Tal'darim, and they went back to being drug-addicted space pirates who liked destroying cities to piss people off.

Contrary to the usual Tyrant, Morgan is — compared to his fellow 1973 officers, at any rate — a progressive, thoughtful, and thoroughly competent administrator who only becomes a tyrant in that he's unwilling to put up with the sloppiness and ethically questionable conduct that Hunt encouraged. Sam Tyler, himself a progressive officer (with the excuse that he [to his knowledge] comes from 2007) finds himself actually admiring Morgan's methods even whilst he's trying to clear Hunt's name of murder. Later in the season, Morgan does reveal a bastard side, however, in that he's willing to go to any lengths — including letting the rest of the team die in a botched undercover job — so as to discredit Hunt and allow himself to take over and reform the department.

When he steals the throne from Odin again after the events of Thor: The Dark World, the worst he does to his subjects is force them to watch incredibly hammy plays of his own heroic deeds in Thor: Ragnarok and banishes Sif because she knows that "Odin" is actually Loki. Ironically, the latter part of Loki's second usurping saves her life when Hela returns to Asgard and kills the Warrior's Three. Played straight with Hela, Odinâ€™s firstborn daughter, returns to Asgard to reclaim her â€œbirthrightâ€� after defeating Loki and Thor in battle. She immediately demands that the Asgardian army accept her as their rightful queen, convinced that they will welcome her back and enthusiastically support her ambitions to return Asgard to its blood-soaked past. When they refuse, she proceeds to slaughter the entire army. For the rest of her reign, her only subjects are terrified civilians, and one reluctant collaborator.

Hidden Lagoon is taken over by a mysterious mermaid named The Swan who keeps everyone under lockdown and forces them to spend all their time making shell tops. The only mermaids who can do what they want are the rich mermaids of Oysterdale, who are allowed to loot the other cities. The Swan turns out to be a puppet of her "henchman" Ommy Pike, who plans to force everyone to wear shell tops so he can mind control them using the Ruster Shells, a magic shell top that only works on people who are dressed the same. He allowed the looting because he wants to live in Oysterdale, and theft is an easy way to have all the nice things moved from the other cities to Oysterdale.

Judge Cal was the corrupt chief of the Special Judicial Squad who assassinated his predecessor Chief Judge Goodman to take over his position. He quickly becomes The Caligula during his tenure as Chief Judge, passing ridiculous decrees like outlawing happiness, making his goldfish Deputy Chief, and trying to execute the whole city twice. Judge Sinfield, while much more sane than Cal, was an unscrupulous careerist who resorted to brainwashing his direct superior while he was deputy to become the new Chief Judge by default. His hardline stance on the mutant issue and general corruption brought him in conflict with Dredd, who eventually decided to run against Sinfield as a candidate.

The bosses who sent him to the unit did so specifically to disrupt the unit, not because they believed he would be a good boss. Deputy Commissioner Rawls even refers to Marrimow as "My Trojan Horse." Marlo Stanfield, a small-time dealer, perceives the Barksdale drug empire as weak in Season 3, decides to wage war on Avon Barksdale's organization and take over West Baltimore, which he manages to do thanks to some luck and good timing. Unlike Avon who (mostly) refrained from killing people unless they interfered with his corners, (which is mostly part of the game) or he was looking to take over their turf, Marlo is a power-hungry sociopath who has people killed if he hears they were talking bad about him, questioning him, or even if they look at him wrong. He violently deposes the relatively peaceful old order and is responsible for dozens of murders. In season five, afterkilling Prop Joe, Marlo assumes power at the New Day Co-op and as first order of business announces that there will be no more meetings, and that the price has gone up.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_db30cf92	comment	Warrior Cats The first arc, Into the Wild, has three of them. One of them is Brokenstar, who murdered his father Raggedstar to be ShadowClan's leader, and that's where things go downhill for the Clan really fast. He banishes all the elders from the safety of the camp, forces kits to become apprentices at three moons instead of six (and makes them warriors at five moons instead of twelve), and makes his Clan eat rotten food instead of fresh meat to focus on battles. He even lets Brightflower's kits die and shifts the blame onto Yellowfang (his mother and Brightflower's daughter), banishing her from the Clan. But a lot of ShadowClan cats get so sick of Brokenstar that they team up with a ThunderClan patrol to drive him out. Tigerstar seems to be a good leader at first when he takes the wheel, rebuilding ShadowClan's strength, but he still tries to get back at his former ThunderClan compatriots. But in The Darkest Hour, he takes over the RiverClan camp, starts up propaganda against half-Clan cats and executes them, and attacks WindClan to intimidate them and show what would happen if they did not join TigerClan (a mix of ShadowClan and RiverClan}. It was his tyranny that brings him to his bloody end, as an even fiercer tyrant named Scourge rips him open from head to tail. Scourge starts out as a kittypet named Tiny who ran away from home. After he slowly becomes the leader of the stray cats in the city, he forms BloodClan and forms harsh rules for them to live by. One of his rules is that the weaker cats do not need to be taken care of. He doesn't like families living together in fear of being overthrown and punishes them for living together. In the seventh arc, The Broken Code, when Bramblestar loses a life, an unknown spirit enters his body and proceeds to pretend to be him. However, this new cat ends up being a Control Freak who punishes everyone who breaks any rule - even accidentally - and later anyone who so much as questions him. This especially becomes dangerous when he exiles both medicine cats and appoints a cat with no experience or knowledge of healing. Meanwhile, he himself breaks the warrior code by insisting he eat first, even before the elders. The cats remaining in the Clan are wary of each other, not knowing who they can trust and who will report them to him.

A Flash Forward in Update 100 revealed this happened to Britain of all places years after the Second American Revolution, falling under a Falangist regime headed by the likes of Baron Garvagh, General Fuller, William Joyce and others.

While he openly despised pretty much all teenagers, he targeted Buffy and the Scoobie Gang and turns out to be working for Mayor Wilkins, the Big Bad of Season 3. However he's apparently in the dark as to exactly who (or what) he was working for, as he clearly wasn't expecting the Mayor to turn into a snake and eat him. He even stands up to the Mayor at the end, however ineffectively.

Later, when Angel herself falls victim to the SSS' schemes, she gets fired and is replaced by her deputy who becomes a God complex authoritarian, fitting the trope.

Dauntless's original MO was to train its members to be strong and courageous, yet to remain rational and use their strength solely for keeping the peace. As Erudite became more entrenched in its plot to overthrow Abnegation as the primary governing faction of Chicago, it started slipping in its own members into Dauntless leadership. The new leadership, by changing the rules of initiation, would eventually wipe any semblance of honor from Dauntless and turn its members from honorable, courageous soldiers into merciless killing machines. After a few years of this, Erudite would finally have the perfect army with which to control via simulation serum and then use to utterly destroy Abnegation.

As she is still a 10 year old girl deeply in her Princess Phase she changes the countries banner to a pink unicorn from a blue feather and forces everyone to wear gaudy powdered wigs and 17th Century French style clothes, and dictates that all buildings must be repainted in a pink glitter aesthetic. She enforces this by executing any prominent nobles who object to this, and then punishing any other dissidents by poisoning their local water supply to scare people into following her rules, as any resistance would not just get them killed but the entire population of their neighbourhood - with the potential wipe some entire small towns off the map.

Ironically, Degwin has this pulled on him by his eldest son Gihren, who supplants Degwin as de facto ruler with his own - much more radical - Cult of Personality, leaving Degwin a powerless figurehead. Gihren later ends up murdering Degwin after learning heâ€™s trying to sue for peace with Earth behind Gihrenâ€™s back, and takes absolute control.

He even wears a crown. About the only positive thing he did was that he managed to ensure the Autobots weren't dependent on humans for fuel. Several Autobots desert out of disgust, and a squad of Autobots flee to the planet Nebulos in a desperate attempt to revive Optimus Prime. When they succeed and Optimus returns, the entire Autobot army (barring Grimlock's Dinobots) pointedly ignore Grimlock and go over to Optimus' side. Grimlock does a better job when he becomes supreme commander of the Autobots following Optimus Prime's (second) death during the battle with Unicron, but his unwillingness to heed advice causes him to blunder into a Decepticon ambush that almost completely wipes out the Autobots (with only 5 survivors out of the entire army).

She was removed from her post by the end of the episode though. After the return of Abby and Connor after their 1-year hiatus in the past, they find out that things have changed in the ARC. While James Lester (who is much more caring than he pretends to be) is still formally in charge of day-to-day activities, it's now partly a privately-funded operation with a tycoon named Philip Burton having a lot of say. While he's not exactly a tyrant, he's much more concerned with the anomalies themselves than protecting the people from all the creatures that come through. After he nearly dies thanks to Rex escaping his cage, he orders that all creatures in the ARC be put down, no exceptions. Lester has to blackmail him to reverse the order.

His successor, former Vice Principal Mrs. Slater, is highly unpopular with both students and teachers for her tyrannical behavior, which includes fining teachers whose students are caught using cell phones in class, even though the school is short on computers and some kids have to use their phones to do their assignments. The only people who like her are Regina and the rest of the Student Council, who get to spend most of their time patrolling the halls and reporting people for cell phone violations. Haley becomes the leader of the school resistence movement and plans a walk-out during class. The afternoon of the planned walk-out, Mrs. Slater and Regina try to prevent it by barring all the doors. Mrs. Slater is fired for violating the fire code, Regina is suspended, and Mr. Mains is reinstated.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_f74b5f80	comment	The replacement Kosh on Babylon 5, to the point that eventually Sheridan and Delenn actually have him murdered. Also Emperor Cartagia, who turns out to be batshit insane and kills most of his advisers for trivial reasons (and keeps their heads to talk to them). His final plan? To become a god by letting the Vorlons destroy Centauri Prime. The worst part is that Londo helped put him in power, as he and Lord Refa believed they could control him. Boy, did that plan backfire. In "The Lost Tales", Sheridan meets Cartagia's son Dius Vintari, whom Galen predicts will become the next tyrant after Vir's death. His hatred for humanity would grow over the years and he would eventually stage a surprise attack on Earth. Galen's plan is to stage an "accident" with Sheridan as the trigger-man. But Sheridan backs out at the last moment and realizes that the real problem is Vintari's presence in the Decadent Court of Centauri Prime, so he takes the prince regent to live with him and Delenn on Minbar. Galen then admits that this was his real plan all along. Colonel Ari ben Zayn in the episode "Eyes" falls into this category when he trumps up charges against Sinclair and takes over the station to the point that his own aide helps discredit him. It turns out that not only did ben Zayn have a personal grudge against Sinclair (who was promoted ahead of him to command the station), he was probably mentally unstable to begin with and ended up aiding a larger conspiracy within EarthGov to further his personal agenda.

Interestingly, the actual reason he enjoys making Stillman's life hell is a bit of a twist: at first we're led to believe it's Stillman's contempt for Doherty's sleazeball City Council allies, then because Stillman locked up Doherty's junkie son, but it's eventually revealed that Doherty is actually envious of Stillman because the son's stay in prison had legitimately straightened him out, and thus Doherty resents Stillman for accomplishing something he never could. In the series finale, it's implied Doherty will be sent to prison or at least lose his job, as it turns out his son also committed manslaughter, which Doherty had fudged police records to cover up.

Tyrant Takes the Helm / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Captain Edward Jellico in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Chain of Command (Part 1)". He made sweeping changes which, while normal for a regular armed force, were rather unorthodox for the Mildly Military Starfleet. Given that they were facing the very serious possibility of armed conflict breaking out with a hostile empire, these were probably necessary, but that didn't stop the crew from complaining all the way through. Notably, he finally put Troi in a standard uniform (which was much more flattering on her anyway). Something of a subversion, too, since he rescued Picard and Out-Gambitted the Cardassians (a race that has Magnificent Bastard as their hat). Picard even said he'd be keeping a lot of Jellico's changes. In the subsequent spin-off novel series Star Trek: New Frontier, one storyline had Commander Riker temporarily take command of the USS Excalibur while its regular captain was on an important undercover mission. Reminded of his own attitude towards Jellico's actions, Riker takes care to avoid becoming this by not trying to impose his own way of doing things on the Excalibur crew by reminding himself that everyone has their own command style, and is able to adapt enough to trust the senior staff.
