Villain with Good Publicity	comment	A Villain with Good Publicity is one of the most frustrating opponents a hero can ever face. On the surface, this villain works within the system and commands a great deal of respect from the average citizen, but behind the scenes, conducts all manners of nastiness. Even the heroes (or the audience!) may be fooled until The Reveal, unaware that The Man Behind the Man is someone so publicly trusted. Should the heroes know the truth, they're still stymied by the fact that no one else does. Attempts to bust the villain will be met with harassment lawsuits, breaking & entering or assault charges, or bad press. The heroes may even be falsely painted as villains in the public eye. (Some heroes embrace this image and become the Lovable Rogue or the Anti-Hero.) Should the heroes turn up actual evidence that something is up, it'll probably be ripped up by the villain's crack legal team (which Villains With Good Publicity always have), or spun to look like honest behavior. The Villain With Good Publicity is very good at getting the hero (or other innocents who get too close to the truth) accused of criminal activity. Then again, heroics are 90% based on breaking and entering, stalking, trespassing, assault, battery, and espionage anyway, so they may have a point there. Worthy Opponents, Enigmatic Minions, Punch Clock Villains and other types of sympathetic antagonists often find themselves working for the well-liked villain, unaware of what their boss is really up to. In an episodic series, a Villain With Good Publicity is a good way to preserve the status quo; the best the hero can hope to do is foil a particular plot, not bust the actual villain. Although not always legally invincible, often the only way to defeat this foe permanently is to kill them. Heroes in this situation will frequently try to Trash Talk the villain, or tell them they won't get away with it. If the heroes are really unlucky, they're up against the entire government (or church, depending on the setting). The villain might also be a single person within the government, a corporation head or other public figure with a good PR department, or a religion engineered for this purpose. There's also a good chance that the villain is using copious amounts of bribery to keep their image clean. If things get even worse, the people whom the hero tries to protect will actively assist the villain against the heroes. This villain's favored weapon is the Propaganda Machine. Or Bread and Circuses. This villain may be portrayed as a hero (or the hero), and may even think of themself as the hero. Their villainous acts might even be portrayed as heroic, maybe by using Negatives as a Positive. Alternative Character Interpretation may lead to viewing a story's hero as a Villain With Good Publicity. If this villain's been recognized as a good man for so long that they slowly begin to forget about being evil in the first place, it can lead into Becoming the Mask. If you need to take down a Villain With Good Publicity, send in a Cowboy Cop, Knight in Sour Armor, or anyone else who's prepared to play dirty for the greater good — or perhaps organize an Engineered Public Confession to out them as a Straw Hypocrite. The Ideal Hero and other idealistic heroes, by contrast, have no idea how to deal with these guys. Either way, any hero attempting to take one of these guys on can end up as a Hero with Bad Publicity. A Guile Hero might have some luck setting up an Involuntary Charity Donation to deprive the villain of assets while being unable to retaliate without compromising their good publicity. Additionally, certain opportunists may take advantage of the villain's pristine reputation to extort them for their personal gain. Depending on how the villain operates, this may end with the extortionist being given "go away money" or whatever they were trying to obtain, or it may end with the extortionist being silenced. Compare with Falsely Reformed Villain, where a villain puts on short-term pretense of reform. Contrast with most Evil Overlords and Card Carrying Villains who make no attempt to hide their villainy, and the Ancient Conspiracy, which hides its entire existence. The exact opposite is a villain who has a 0% Approval Rating, and a more extreme version is the Devil in Plain Sight (whom no one cares about one way or the other). Can be a form of No Hero to His Valet. Greenwashed Villainy is a common form of this. In some settings, the villain may actually have a plausible case for being considered a (sorta) good guy. If so, expect the setting to lean towards the "cynical" end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. May use Too Funny to Be Evil as an affable PR tactic. Villains who win over the fans are Rooting for the Empire or Draco in Leather Pants. This trope is much more common in real life than Card-Carrying Villainy. However, as an "Evil Trope", examples would quickly devolve into complaining, so No Real Life Examples, Please! noreallife

But because the people of the Candy Kingdom are so gullible, he becomes popular enough to usurp Princess Bubblegum by popular election in the penultimate episode of Season 6, "Hot Diggity Doom". Fortunately, after the King louses things up during the events of the "Stakes" miniseries, the Candy People finally realize what a fraud he is, overthrow him, and take back a humbled Bubblegum as their ruler.

This makes her look like a caring person and boosts her popularity, despite the fact that she often delivers stealth insults to her fans. Parodied in the second season's Chanel-o-ween video. Chanel doesn't bother with the pretense of trying to be nice; she explicitly says that she's using her video to let her fans know how much she hates them. She sends them real maggots, pus, and body parts she looted from the hospital she works at, along with extremely vicious insults. She even goes to someone's house to tell them that she loathes them. Yet after all this, her fans are shown with Tears of Joy and crying out over how much they love Chanel for what she's done.

He had their loyalty once and convinced them to accept his rule and entrusted all the food and weapons to his care. Since then, he's been a lazy yet cruel tyrant. They would rebel against him but have no force to do so, and besieging his fortified manor would end with him starving them out.

In the end, though the heroes rescue the hostages and break the crime syndicate, they can't touch Medina personally, and he would have got away clean if he hadn't gone after Hannay in a Post-Climax Confrontation.

Due to a combination of the public's mistrust of NICOLE following her previous brainwashing by the Iron Queen (fueled by Naugus' own Hate Plague magic) and Naugus' own actions to defend New Mobotropolis from both Eggman and the Battle Bird Armada, his support amongst the citizens reaches the point that they gladly appoint him their king. This ended up coming back at him when New Mobotropolis was rescued by NICOLE and Team Freedom (which was comprised of former council member Rotor, Actual Pacifist Cream and Cheese, Gentle Giant Big the Cat, and reformed Badniks Heavy and Bomb), making Naugus look like a fool and allowing Rotor's replacement, Isabella Mongoose (that's Mina's mom), to demand NICOLE's return and sending him on a Villainous Breakdown.

One of the many problems the Warden faces during the game is trying to prove that the war hero who fought for Ferelden's freedom during the Orlesian occupation, is the same man that callously left King Cailan to die during the Battle of Ostagar and pinned the blame on the Grey Wardens. Loghain is actually an interesting example. Everyone acknowledges his heroic past, but the only parts of the country that actually support him are Gwaren (which is his fief), Amaranthine, belonging to his Psycho Supporter Rendon Howe, and Denerim, where his government is based. Highever is pissed at him for supporting a Howe coup against the ruling Cousland family, Redcliffe is led by the slain king's uncle, and most of the Bannorn hates his guts. It's actually rather easy to oust him, because his actions have pretty much eroded all of the nobility's good will by the time you're strong enough to challenge him, and only one nobleman supports him without question (because he's afraid Loghain will pillage his lands in retaliation). In Dragon Age II, a Mage Hawke is seen as this from the warped perspective of Knight-Commander Meredith, being a troublesome Apostate who's allowed to roam free, sowing anarchy and chaos in their wake, because the people of Kirkwall see Hawke as their Champion. In a similar vein, Meredith regards a Non-Mage Hawke as a troublemaker who openly consorts with apostates and is plotting to subvert her authority. Of course, this is because Meredith sees herself as the hero of the story. She's not.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_1b021fcb	comment	Tokyo Ghoul: A lot of the major villains are this, adding to the Crapsack World setting. Kureo Mado was absolutely Ax-Crazy when fighting Ghouls and delighted in torturing them to death, but despite all this, his colleagues greatly admired him and his work (even if they watched how he fought). Many ghouls revere the One-Eyed Owl, leader of Aogiri Tree, as a benevolent savior instead of the genocidal maniac he really is. Taken even further with the Owl's civilian identity, Sen Takatsuki; to the world, she's a kind and loveably awkward author, but in secret, Takatsuki is hellbent on humanity's destruction. Best shown when she reveals herself as a ghoul at a press conference and turns herself into a heroic figure of rebellion. Dr. Akihiro Kanou is known by colleagues as a kindhearted and fantastic doctor, but he is a Mad Scientist who performs horrific experiments on humans and ghouls alike. The CCG in general are this, as the human public considers them heroes who protect them from ghouls, but many of them, such as the aforementioned Kureo, are Knight Templars fond of Van Helsing Hate Crimes, slaughtering even peaceful ghouls just for being ghouls. In particular, the Washuu Clan, led by Chairman Tsuneyoshi Washuu, are ghouls themselves who are the Greater Scope Villains of the series, keeping the Forever War between humans and ghouls going to stay in power. Near the end of the series, there is Souta Furuta-Washuu, the other Big Bad who masterminded many of the series events. When he takes over the CCG and makes it even more tyrannical than before, the lower ranks and civilians praise him for it. He even has adoring fangirls.

As he sees it, by making himself a public figure who is automatically linked in peoples' minds to one thing, he's guaranteed that no one could ever suspect him of being a professional thief. He also voices a theory, based on this premise, that Jack the Ripper was probably a well-known MP whose moral speeches were reported in all the papers along with his crimes.

Despite being a textbook Card-Carrying Villain, he often strives — and always fails — to portray himself either as a sensitive, kindly soul (his autobiography is titled Will There Ever Be a Rainbow?) or as a benevolent super-being (in his film festival entry, he portrays himself as both E.T. and Jesus). Furthermore, when he loses his plant (and in one case, his entire fortune as well) and Springfielders are free to openly hate and mock him, Burns is genuinely shocked that they feel that way. Senator Mendoza, the Big Bad of the McBain movies, is a Show Within a Show example. Supposedly he's one of the most respected men in Congress in McBain's world, despite being an Obviously Evil leader of The Cartel and ordering the brutal murder of a cop who gets too close. McBain (who clearly is not fooled) gets chewed out by Da Chief for breaking the necks of three of his bodyguards and driving a bus through his front wall. Jebediah Springfield, the town's founder, is believed by the citizens to be a heroic pioneer who wrestled bears. In truth, as revealed by his confession found in "Lisa the Iconoclast", he was a Fake Ultimate Hero. He was actually Hans Sprungfeld, a notorious pirate with a silver tongue (literally; he lost his tongue to a Turk in a groghouse fight and had it replaced with a prosthetic silver tongue) who tried to assassinate George Washington.

Beneath the surface, however, Palekana is a cult that has its buried its roots in practically all levels of Hawaiian society, from the criminal organizations that otherwise only appear to be at odds with one another, to the highest seats in the state's government. This control is enforced with spies, all of whom were handpicked and indoctrinated by Bryce as children to instill such unwavering loyalty that nothing is off-limits if it's to protect him — not even suicide.

The fact of the matter is that they're ruthless criminals, but their publicity is so good, that J. Jonah Jameson likes them, and he normally hates superheroes. The fact that the Spacemen are allegedly astronauts like JJJ's son, who he considers a real hero, is probably a factor.

This lasts until the Season 9 finale thanks to his being unable to fight off the Monster of the Week Doomquest, and an Engineered Public Confession.

By singlehandedly funding the rebuilding of New York City after an alien invasion, he was hailed as a hero and humanitarian. While it hadn't directly affected the Turtles' efforts against him much (being ninjas and mutant freaks, they have to work in secrecy anyway), it was still irritating.

The difference between the persona he puts on that the people believe and who he is underneath it all is both vast and amazing. But the real kicker is that his true nature is known to the entire military high command, who are knowingly collaborating with the enigmatic "Father" and his homunculi, and can be found discussing, among other things, possible "human sacrifices". Wrath's public persona is adored by the people of Amestris, so much so that at the end of the series the heroes realize they can't expose his crimes without causing a mass panic. Instead, they pawn them off on the surviving members of Central Command and claim Bradley was killed trying to stop them. Similarly, Pride is posing as the Fuhrer's son and pretends to view Edward as his role model. There's also Father Cornello, who convinces everyone that he's a holy man when he's really a fraud out for power. Edward exposes him using an Engineered Public Confession, but even after this, once the Elrics leave the city, Envy uses his shapeshifting powers to impersonate Cornello, successfully regaining enough followers to plunge the city into civil war, a perfect pretext for Amestrian military intervention.

His good publicity allows him to secretly gain sponsors from the nobility, plotting behind the scenes to overthrow the Seven Shields, to take over the country, and to build a Sex Slave Empire with himself as king. This trope is panned out differently in both versions of the story. In the original version, Vault's ambitions become public knowledge, with the Rape, Pillage, and Burn going on everywhere, therefore subverting the trope. In the remastered version, Vault is killed by Kyril after revealing his ambitions, but the "good publicity" part doesn't go away because only a small band of people know about said ambitions. People in general are still kept in the dark, Vault's supporters continue to advance his agenda without the knowledge of his demise, and Kyril is distrusted by five of the Seven Shields after Dropping the Bombshell that is Vault's status as a traitor and Vault's murder.

He's is the true leader of the Kingdom of Marley and plans on wiping out every Eldian on the planet by making the rest of the world unite together and declare war on Paradis Island, the Eldia Empire's last stronghold. Of course, given that the series falls under Grey-and-Gray Morality and Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters, his status as a villain is subjective. Eren Yeager is lauded by the Paradis civilians for opposing the government and launching a bold assault on Marley. He has a powerful faction dedicated to installing him as the supreme leader of Eldia. This goes even further when Eren declares his true goal of exterminating life outside Paradis, his announcement is met with thunderous jubilations, and even most of his friends and subordinates on both sides agree with his viewpoint.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: It's uncommon in this series due to most of the villains being monsters that none of the normal humans know about, but the Leviathan leader Dick Roman plays this to the hilt in Season 7. Impersonating an already fairly successful businessman, he rockets the business to new levels of success, leading multiple news organizations to interview him, where he talks about doing good for his fellow man, etc. For bonus points, a couple of Leviathan also impersonate the Winchesters and commit various atrocities on camera to paint them as unstable serial killers. Metatron is this for the angels in Season 9, as he convinces a good number of them that he's benevolent and that Castiel is the villain. In actuality, he's the one who kicked all the angels out of Heaven for his own selfish reasons, and doesn't give a crap about any of his followers, even sending several of them on suicide missions purely for PR purposes.

When she's first introduced, she seems to be a Reasonable Authority Figure who wants only to save humanity from enslavement by Scarlemagne. However, she's quickly revealed to be a Bad Boss with a hatred of mutes (slang for mutants) due to her blaming them for driving the humans from the surface and into Burrows in the first place. When Kipo and Crew defeat her plan to capture Scarlemagne and kill Song and Kipo, she retaliates by converting the other humans from Kipo's Burrow to her way of thinking. The third season shows that she's a Complete Monster who killed her own brother when he started to believe that humans and mutes could coexist, creates a "cure" that causes a Death of Personality to any mute it touches, and willingly turned herself into a mutant kaiju so she could ''kill an entire party full of people. Fortunately, Kipo eventually lets everyone see the woman's true colors, and her followers slowly but surely leave her.

The only ones to realize they're up to no good are the X-Men (who they frame for violently using their powers) and Edward Kelly (who doesn't know they're up to no good, but assumes they are because they're mutants). Bit of a subversion for Avalanche, his genuine no ulterior motive involved rescue of an elderly lady kickstarted their rep as heroes and the final disaster that his friends fled after causing, is stopped by Avalanche working with the X-Men. Lance does reject the label of hero by the end of it, despite showing he's got more standards than you'd think. Edward Kelly himself is one to some extent. To many, he's a noble principal who wants to help his students, and to the Muggles, he is legitimately a good principal. He's just such a massive racist against mutants that he tries to encourage fellow mutant hater Duncan to team up with the Brotherhood just so they can pick a fight with Cyclops and get him, and him only, expelled simply for being a good mutant.

Except Mariah is very effectively ambushed by a TV reporter during a live interview asking about her ties to her cousin's crime ring (due to Luke's attack on her office at Crispus Attucks), and all Mariah can really do is end the interview immediately and have the reporter and her camera crew removed from the house. From there on, the entire second half of the season sees Mariah trying to regain the good publicity she's lost. Even after managing to get Luke ousted as Carl Lucas, it's pretty clear it will be a long uphill battle. At the start of Season 2, Mariah is still struggling to regain standing, and at her publicist's suggestion, reestablishes a relationship with her estranged daughter Tilda Johnson, and is planning to go legit by selling off her gun dealing ventures in favor of shady stock dealing, and open up several housing complexes. Unfortunately, she's never able to achieve that, as Bushmaster turns up to settle an old score with Mariah over her grandparents' murder of his parents 30 years ago. His opening shots of war are to put the severed heads of three of her associates on pikes in the entryway to her new housing project where they are prominently displayed when Mariah holds a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Then he kidnaps and kills her stockbroker, bankrupts her, and burns down her brownstone. Mariah's way of retaliating is to go to a restaurant owned by Bushmaster's aunt and uncle and kill everyone inside, saving Bushmaster's uncle Anansi for last by setting him on fire, letting him burn in agony for a solid 15 seconds, before shooting him in the head. Shades and Tilda are disgusted with Mariah and sever all ties with her. Shades makes a deal with the police to help them bring down Mariah by implicating her in the death of Bushmaster's uncle and Cottonmouth, while Tilda helps Bushmaster make one last attempt to kill Mariah during a free event she throws at Harlem's Paradise. This attempt fails, Mariah is arrested, and she's arraigned and locked up in jail to await trial. While locked up, she attempts to order a purge of people who could implicate her in her criminal activities, including her assistant Alex. Which just gets Tilda to discreetly poison Mariah while visiting her at the jail.

He managed to keep his old allies with his clever emotional manipulation due to the "tragic" death while gaining his old opponents in a plot he'd been working on from a young age, as he is furious his rightful "possessions" (both the land and the people) were taken from him.

Even after Soap and Price successfully kill him, the public still thinks Shepherd is a war hero, and they are international terrorists.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_55c20cb5	comment	Overlord (2012): Ainz wants to be this to avoid antagonizing any fellow Yggdrasil players who may have also ended up in the New World as well as anyone else who might be powerful enough to actually defeat him. He has succeeded in this regard with Carne Village, who revere him as their savior and benefactor for very good reasons: he saved them from being massacred by the Sunlight Scripture, he provided Enri with the Horns of the Goblin General that summoned very helpful goblin soldiers, and he also provided them golems to help with construction. He is also this in the Re-Estize Kingdom through his "Momon" adventurer guise, having duped just about everyone in the New World into believing he is humanity's greatest champion, and in the Holy Kingdom, where after saving them from a demihuman invasion (which he engineered in the first place) there is now a significant number of people joining a cult dedicated to him. Princess Reneer the "Golden Princess" is beloved by the Kingdom for being a kind and gentle monarch who pushes for reforms such as abolishing the slave trade. She's actually a very disturbed and intelligent Broken Bird due to growing up feared and hated by everyone around her who thought she was too smart for her own good. She is in truth a psychopath who doesn't really care about anyone else but Climb, the first person to see her as a human. Her idea of "love" is to chain up Climb and use him as her Sex Slave. It's telling that Demiurge of all people considers her to be the only person of interest in the Kingdom.

Unfortunately, what none of them realize is how much time he actually spends tormenting his patients, taking advantage of them at their most vulnerable. The Heavenly Host saga has Yoshikazu Yanagihori, who was a beloved elementary school teacher known for being kind and friendly... until he kidnapped four of his students, three of whom were gruesomely killed, and the last one was only saved by the arrival of police. Said child, Sachiko, gives the testimony needed to convict Yoshikazu of the crime — needless to say, his reputation plummeted to the point that he hanged himself. His spirit now haunts the remains of the school looking for more children. Subverted, as he was framed; see below. Yuuya Kizami is the Big Man on Campus in Byakuden Senior High School who is loved by all the women; Nano Saenoki is a popular paranormal journalist/researcher; and Sachiko Shinozaki is known as an innocent victim/Sole Survivor of her murderous teacher who bravely gave the testimony that brought him to justice. All three of them are actually psychopathic mass murderers who revel in the despair they sow, and Sachiko in particular merely put away her own unwilling accomplice in her child murders and is actually a vengeful, centuries-old witch queen possessing a youthful body (long story).

Villain with Good Publicity / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil: Umbrella had good publicity until it was involved in Raccoon's destruction. Not only does the US government tear up all contracts with the company, their public stocks take a nosedive. In the movies, rather than the U.S. government nuking Raccoon City, it was Umbrella itself who did so, and they got off completely scot-free while making the survivors Heroes With Bad Publicity. By the time the public realizes any of the truth, the Zombie Apocalypse has begun, and they're still the only major human authority left. Resident Evil 6 has this with Derek C. Simmons, the National Security Advisor who is also the head of a secret cabal known only as "the Family," who have had a hand in forming the modern world since at least the Colonial era. As the National Security Advisor, he was considered above suspicion of causing the Tall Oaks incident. It helped that he had set Helena up to take the fall prior to the outbreak and controlled all of the evidence implicating him... though he didn't count on the real Ada leaving Leon and Helena evidence that proves his guilt after his demise. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has this example with Alex Wesker, the last of the Project Wesker test subjects. Before the events of the game, Wesker is on a small island, where she brings jobs and a better standard of living to the poor inhabitants. They celebrate her as a godsend. But it's all a cover for the horrible human experiments that she does on the people behind the scenes. The people mostly had no idea until it was too late. Many documents found throughout the game highlight this point, repeatedly.

This ranges from a teacher who's a former Olympic athlete who abuses his students to an esteemed artist who secretly plagiarizes his apprentices, all the way up to a well-connected politician with sights on becoming Prime Minister. The Mole, Goro Akechi, is this as well, being an extremely popular Kid Detective who's actually responsible for the very crimes he's lauded for solving. Masayoshi Shido is this to an absolutely insane degree; almost no one other than the Phantom Thieves and their close associates ever express any negative opinion about him. It gets to the point where even after the Phantom Thieves call Shido out in public, and he himself confesses to his crimes that the Phantom Thieves accurately announced beforehand, after his heart is stolen, the public staunchly refuses to acknowledge that Shido is evil at all. It's only after the Phantom Thieves steal the general public's heart that they finally see Shido for the Corrupt Politician and power-hungry Jerkass he really is.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_5bd0554b	comment	The Warcraft series has a few like this. Queen Azshara of the night elves was responsible for the first demon invasion in The War of the Ancients, but her people loved her so much that until the very end they all believed that she was only a victim of her Decadent Court. Archbishop Benedictus is the secret leader of the Old Gods worshipping Twilight's Hammer cult and tries to stop the players from saving the world at the end of World of Warcraft Cataclysm, but nobody believes the players who slew him. Finally, Kargath Bladefist is one of the most revered orcs of the Horde, with many locations named after him. When players have to kill him, the players are told to remember the hero he was in the past and not what he became because of demon corruption. Except he never was a hero; as revealed in Rise of the Horde, he was a member of the Shadow Council who sold his people to the demons for personal power. A rare case where nobody, not even most players discovered his true nature. note Though the real world reason for this is a Continuity Snarl. In the original lore of Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal Kargath was stranded on Azeroth with Grom by Ner'zhul with the Warcraft III manual implying he joined the modern Horde. All the lore about Kargath being evil to begin with came quite a while after World of Warcraft had already been following older lore in which he either joined the modern Horde or was a Fallen Hero.

You don't even want to know what he does to people he's not attached to... and let's not even think about what he does to people that he actually dislikes. Considering that Lilith was one of the toughest warriors that ever lived out of a race whose entire shtick is "enduring hardship", that hints at just how badly Desus was beating her.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_5e4ba6dc	comment	Overlord: Possibly your character, in the first game; as the game's base assumption is that your character is evil, rather than choosing between being good or evil, your moral choice is whether to be an Ax-Crazy maniac who slaughters all in your path...or a Villain With Good Publicity who uses the respect and gratitude of the people to further your own evil ends. In Overlord: Dark Legend, the above Overlord's predecessor, Lord Gromgard, has amazing publicity. His incompetent relatives have driven the kingdom to ruin, and the people are just so glad to finally have someone who knows what they're doing and can finally restore prosperity that they treat the whole "evil overlord" thing as little more than an amusing quirk. You can also be a Villain With Good Publicity in Overlord II, but this time, it comes by mind-controlling the populace into loving you, rather than genuinely earning their respect — you cruelly use them as tools, pawns, cannon fodder, and meat shields, but they have no choice but to be worshipful servants. A better example is Emperor Solaris — while the Overlord's "good" or "lawful evil" option is brainwashing his subjects, most of them were unwilling serfs under the "Glorious Empire" before you conquer them instead, the rest are the spoiled elite nobles, that love their emperor, along with almost everyone that isn't a slave, or similarly oppressed. The Real kicker is that the Emperor rose to power on the back of anti-magic sentiment after a cataclysm and plague caused by magic, earning the love of many, and the eternal devotion of the upper class and nobles he uses to maintain his power. Beyond being the main but distant antagonist of the entire game, he also is secretly Flroian Greenheart a trusted follower of Queen Fay and seemingly the closest thing the story has to a real hero when he isn't being the comic relief. More than that it turns out he was the cause of the cataclysm and plague in the first place because he was an elf with no magic and sought out the Overlord's tower heart after the last one disappeared, accidentally causing it to go critical and explode like a nuclear reactor. He then used the crisis to gain political power and champion an anti-magic agenda while secretly gathering all the "purged" re-stolen, magic for himself with his end game being ascending to godhood, with his failed attempt creating the final boss of the game. This becomes obvious in the last levels when he outright exposes his citizens to magic via their "healing fountains" in order to turn them into hostile zombie-like things just to buy a bit more time against the Overlord.

By contrast, Phobos managed to maintain a real (if admittedly fragile) peace among Meridian's various races, and it's arguable that most of the problems of his original reign were caused by the Rebellion (egged on by Nerissa's manipulations) refusing to accept him as a ruler just because he's a man. On Earth, Cedric and Miranda pose as a father and daughter who befriend the Guardians' loved ones under the pretense that "Melinda" is trying to make amends for getting the girls suspected of Elyon's disappearance. This enables them to make those same loved ones grow suspicious of the Guardians' secret lives. Phobos earns his first PR victory in the village of Riverdeen in the Swamplands, which he saves from corrupt local rebel forces who have been provoking tensions with the local nonhuman races as an excuse to purge them, and as a diversion from their summary arrests of anyone suspected of being a Phobos loyalist. When Phobos defeats and arrests them, the locals cheer him, especially since in the process he saved a young girl who was detained for trying to get a message to the capital about what the rebels have been doing.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_629cd094	comment	Loghain from Dragon Age: Origins. One of the many problems the Warden faces during the game is trying to prove that the war hero who fought for Ferelden's freedom during the Orlesian occupation, is the same man that callously left King Cailan to die during the Battle of Ostagar and pinned the blame on the Grey Wardens. Loghain is actually an interesting example. Everyone acknowledges his heroic past, but the only parts of the country that actually support him are Gwaren (which is his fief), Amaranthine, belonging to his Psycho Supporter Rendon Howe, and Denerim, where his government is based. Highever is pissed at him for supporting a Howe coup against the ruling Cousland family, Redcliffe is led by the slain king's uncle, and most of the Bannorn hates his guts. It's actually rather easy to oust him, because his actions have pretty much eroded all of the nobility's good will by the time you're strong enough to challenge him, and only one nobleman supports him without question (because he's afraid Loghain will pillage his lands in retaliation).

Upheld far and wide as a powerful do-gooder of nearly messianic proportions, even by his own underlings, nearly every undertaking of his is actually a cover for experiments to cure his blindness, most of which involve scores of unwitting Innocent Bystanders.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_64791462	comment	The Tyrell family is this as a whole, although their villainy is more ruthlessness than malice. They conspire to marry Margery to four different Baratheon kings to join their family into royalty. The first, King Robert himself, is the only one where they never got their opportunity as they (along with Renly) were planning to try to get Robert smitten with Margaery before revealing the truth of the incest. When Robert dies before this plot is enacted and Renly declares himself king, they join his cause even knowing he is not the legitimate heir. While fighting for Renly's cause, they seize all food heading up towards King's Landing from the Reach, causing mass starvation and violence. When they decide to throw in with the Lannisters, they then give away food to the poor, who don't realize that the Tyrells are the reason why there was a shortage in the first place. After obtaining Sansa's (a shell-shocked 11-year-old) trust, they verify Joffrey's true nature and kill him almost immediately after the ceremony is legalized while also setting up Sansa and Tyrion as patsies. While A Feast for Crows shows Cersei to be awfully delusional and paranoid to the reader, the truth is that the Tyrells really are to blame for some of the bad things that have happened to her, and she doesn't suspect them enough.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Ian Quinn presents himself as a champion of free business and small government but is actually a textbook Corrupt Corporate Executive working for The Clairvoyant. Jiaying, the leader of the Inhumans, is viewed as a wise and benevolent ruler. However, she turns out to be a totally unhinged War Hawk who has no problem engaging in total war with SHIELD, even knowing it'll cause countless deaths on both sides. Season 3 has Gideon Malick, a philanthropist and former member of the World Security Council who acts as the benefactor for the ATCU. He also turns out to be a member of HYDRA's old guard and leader of the faction dedicated to their true original purpose of worshipping and working to unleash an ancient Inhuman. Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk originally subverts this, trying to be a Villain with No Publicity: he goes to great lengths to stay out of the limelight, and uttering his name carelessly will cause him to order a hit on you and everyone you ever cared about as a message to others. Eventually, his new mistress Vanessa Marianna persuades him to make a public appearance as a philanthropist in order to get some good publicity in response to the Devil of Hell's Kitchen becoming a pain in his side. In Season 3, Fisk finds himself having to build himself back up to this, as the press are rightfully villainizing him as a criminal, and protesters are demonstrating outside the hotel he's bought and also bribed the FBI into putting him up in. Fisk's method of regaining the good graces of the press is to hire one such agent, Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, stick him in a Daredevil suit, and has him attack the New York Bulletin to both discredit Karen Page, and more importantly get rid of Jasper Evans so that Jasper can't go on record about how Fisk paid him to shank him as part of his gambit to manipulate the FBI. When Karen provokes Fisk by revealing that she killed James Wesley, Fisk orders a hit on her using Dex, and though Matt and Karen drive him off, Father Lantom and two bystanders are killed during the attack. Subsequently, Fisk uses Dex's bloodshed to call a press conference at the hotel, wherein he finally sways the public back to his side. In an effort to break through this, Nelson & Murdock get Ray Nadeem to testify before a grand jury, with Karen also calling a press conference of her own outside the courthouse while Nadeem is testifying. Fisk gets advanced warning of their plans from Felix Manning and has his men intimidate the grand jury into declining to indict Fisk (after a failed attempt to ambush Nadeem and Matt en route to the courthouse). Between this, Vanessa ordering Nadeem be killed by Dex that very evening (and posthumously framed for the death of another FBI agent that his boss killed), Fisk is back on top and a lot of the city's upper crust elite turn out for his and Vanessa's wedding. That is, until Karen and Foggy get the Bulletin to run a video confession Nadeem made before his death, combined with Matt turning Dex against Fisk. Deconstructed in Luke Cage (2016): Mariah Dillard (and Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes to a lesser extent) try to be this, but it takes a lot of effort on their parts to keep their criminal activities out of public consciousness. Except Mariah is very effectively ambushed by a TV reporter during a live interview asking about her ties to her cousin's crime ring (due to Luke's attack on her office at Crispus Attucks), and all Mariah can really do is end the interview immediately and have the reporter and her camera crew removed from the house. From there on, the entire second half of the season sees Mariah trying to regain the good publicity she's lost. Even after managing to get Luke ousted as Carl Lucas, it's pretty clear it will be a long uphill battle. At the start of Season 2, Mariah is still struggling to regain standing, and at her publicist's suggestion, reestablishes a relationship with her estranged daughter Tilda Johnson, and is planning to go legit by selling off her gun dealing ventures in favor of shady stock dealing, and open up several housing complexes. Unfortunately, she's never able to achieve that, as Bushmaster turns up to settle an old score with Mariah over her grandparents' murder of his parents 30 years ago. His opening shots of war are to put the severed heads of three of her associates on pikes in the entryway to her new housing project where they are prominently displayed when Mariah holds a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Then he kidnaps and kills her stockbroker, bankrupts her, and burns down her brownstone. Mariah's way of retaliating is to go to a restaurant owned by Bushmaster's aunt and uncle and kill everyone inside, saving Bushmaster's uncle Anansi for last by setting him on fire, letting him burn in agony for a solid 15 seconds, before shooting him in the head. Shades and Tilda are disgusted with Mariah and sever all ties with her. Shades makes a deal with the police to help them bring down Mariah by implicating her in the death of Bushmaster's uncle and Cottonmouth, while Tilda helps Bushmaster make one last attempt to kill Mariah during a free event she throws at Harlem's Paradise. This attempt fails, Mariah is arrested, and she's arraigned and locked up in jail to await trial. While locked up, she attempts to order a purge of people who could implicate her in her criminal activities, including her assistant Alex. Which just gets Tilda to discreetly poison Mariah while visiting her at the jail.

All of his actions are being reported on by the media, and even slight outbursts of anger can end with him getting in trouble, numerous citizens either in his old faction, the Autobots, and even the Neutrals don't trust him, and he's always under scrutiny. During The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye he racks up a considerable amount of goodwill in his speeches and appearances at Megatron's Trial. He manages to get his public opinion up, the only problem is his actions have also led to the Autobots getting recognition and the publicity bringing them almost up to his level.

Amaram is also behind Kaladin's Start of Darkness: Kaladin was a soldier in his army and saved Amaram's life by killing a Shardbearer. Shardblades are priceless magical swords, and Kaladin legally won that Shardblade, but Amaram decided that a Shardblade would be wasted on a peasant with no training and should go to a noble like him who would save the world. Amaram stole the Shardblade, killed Kaladin's squad to keep the secret from getting out, and sold him into slavery as a deserter. Dalinar's son Adolin believes Kaladin because Amaram's reputation is Too Good to Be True; Dalinar is the most honorable man he knows, but even his record isn't spotless. Adolin concludes that Amaram's perfect reputation is a work of a cover-up. High King Gavilar was considered The Good King for uniting the high princes and forming a united Alethkar. His death led to the princes forming the Vengeance Pact against the culprits and even years later Dalinar won't hear a word said against his brother. As the series goes on it becomes clear that Gavilar was actually a brutal warlord who was emotionally abusing his wife and children while actively trying to trigger a new Desolation so he could become a god. His wife Navani once threatened to expose his cruelty to the world during an argument on the night he died. After he was killed she chose to maintain his reputation out of guilt over wishing for his death.

His PR is so good that we don't realize there's something not quite right until well into the 2nd game. Or the end of the first game, depending on what tone you attribute to his last piece of dialogue.

He's so hated that Lex, learning from his mistakes, determines that love is a more powerful weapon than hate. Before his Heelâ€“Face Turn, Lionel doesn't give a crap about what people thought of him. And he actually encourages their hatred of him, believing that people are at their weakest when angry. In Season 10, Gordon Godfrey is one as well, being a media magnate who is riding high on the wave of anti-vigilante sentiment to gather political power, all while secretly spreading Darkseid's influence on the world.

His victories lead to more good publicity and net him the hand of Princess Charlotte and the blessing of the Pontiff after some prophetic dreams. Eventually, he uses magic to build Falconia, the only city capable of protecting humans from all the unfriendly demons in the world. What the majority doesn't know is that Griffith gained the power to control his demon army by sacrificing his friends to demons, and is the one responsible for the Pontiff's visions.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_70814599	comment	Senator Kinsey in Stargate SG-1. He's such a self-righteous Jerkass, you have to wonder how he manages to function in society without constantly being punched, much less get elected. Kinsey was later an Evil Vice President, but he got fired after the Personable President wised up to him being evil. Again, it's amazing how many people don't figure out he's evil two seconds after meeting him. Over the course of the series, the heroes visit multiple alternate realities in which Kinsey became President. None of them ended well. Ba'al becomes this for an episode when it's revealed that he's secretly on Earth and has become a CEO of a major corporation. The Ori, at least to billions of followers. Then again, while they do have people who genuinely believe in the teachings of Origin, it's more than likely most are simply terrified of being burnt alive.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_72262aee	comment	In Avatar: The Last Airbender, it's made clear that citizens of the Fire Nation are mostly just ordinary, decent people who happen to be led by evil people, and they all genuinely believe that Fire Lord Ozai and his family are wise, just leaders trying to share the Fire Nation's glory with the rest of the world. The fact that Ozai is an absolute ruler with total control over the school system and the media makes it pretty easy for him to achieve this; it's at the point where he doesn't even need to worry (or at least, not care) about spinning a genocide, since his people already accepted one as necessary a century ago. To be fair, it's not clear how well-known the plan to destroy the entire Earth Kingdom was in the Fire Nation, but no one in the High Command or military otherwise, at least, is seen protesting it. Princess Azula does not seem to have had this though, since everyone who comes across her is immediately terrified of her.

The highest leaders, and the oldest New Life children, are devout worshippers of Shub-Niggurath. They are publicly known by the public, having the non-profit NGO New Life foundation, which sponsors a number of social works, and their clientele includes millionaires, celebrities, and royalty. If the players go after New Life, they'll have to fight their large network of supporters, connections, law firms, PR companies, and hired thugs. The Sowers are publicly known as a small and reserved hyper-fundamentalist Christian sect who hide in plain sight due to the "metaphysical innocence" from ritualistic sacrificing Azazel, an avatar of Nyarlathotep, which makes them invisible from the eyes of the public. If the players go after the Sowers, they'll first start using their own resources and personnel; if the players persist, they'll escalate and hire a law firm to harass and bully the players' agents (if identified) and a PR firm to call the attention of the national â€” and often conservative — media. Reporters will visit the Sowers' compounds, who will sell their image of an innocent church focused on farming, self-sufficiency, and recovering local communities, and that they are being unjustly persecuted by the federal government.

Now, he has the option of gunning down Harley (and Poison Ivy and Catwoman) in the back as they flee and claiming self-defense, or gunning down the attacking zeppelin and becoming an even bigger hero and celebrity to Gotham. He starts gunning the blimp. The animated version of Selina Kyle is an outspoken animal rights activist, and when she was given a suspended sentence at her trial, the assembled press and citizenry cheered her (possibly because in her previous appearance she had helped Batman stop a bioweapon attack on Gotham before he arrested her — a major part of why the judge was willing to grant her probation — and thus could be seen as a hero). The Penguin, as mayor of Gotham City (in The Batman Adventures), has been known to crack down on "vigilantism" (read: Batman). Also sometimes depicts himself as a "reformed legitimate businessman" while actually a crime boss attempting to take over half of Gotham, though nowadays he seems to truly be reformed (it won't last, it never does). In the same series, Bane becomes a hero to the homeless children of Gotham, all the while viewing them only as expendable soldiers. The children themselves do not realize his evil intentions and help him in his capers, because he was nice to them when no one else was. The Riddler has ascended to the high ranks of Gotham society because of his cunning manipulation of the media, and savored the role as Gotham's new "darling detective". Despite his numerous counts of larceny, complete disregard for human life, and the occasional murders of past days, his well-trained media circuits embrace him for his Sherlock Holmes-like method of deduction and flamboyant sense of personal theatrics. Outwitting the Gotham populace had never been so easy.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_7b429ebd	comment	In Saints Row 2, despite all the atrocities the Boss commits, random people on the street will occasionally stop to cheer them on, especially for killing the various lieutenants of the other gangs. In Saints Row: The Third, the Third Street Saints operate a massive media empire that has since made the members celebrities in the eyes of Stillwater. This includes taking the time to give autographs in the middle of a bank robbery to having cops you're in the middle of fighting ask you to autograph your weapons before putting them down. By the fourth game, The Boss has even become President of the United States. Of course, this doesn't mean that the Boss is a good president; they had a 20% approval rating, but it dropped to zero the next day. The Ultor Corporation in the second game could also be seen as an example. On the surface, they're a respectable megacorporation, having (among other things) renovated the once-bad part of town that gives the series its name into an ultra-modern district, to the city's approval. Dig a little deeper, however, and they turn out to be just as corrupt and immoral as the gangs. In addition to working with the Brotherhood and Ronin, when the gang violence escalates they plan on encouraging the carnage so they can buy the bad parts of town, renovate it and sell it for large profit, and Chairman/CEO Dane Vogel knowingly sends the board of directors to their deaths at the hands of the protagonist after they turn on him. Killbane in the third game also qualifies. He's a famous millionaire professional wrestler who secretly leads a massive criminal organization, and uses his public image to slander the Saints and frame them for his crimes.

Likewise, Light Sided options often use Pragmatic Villainy and Benevolent Alien Invasion tactics to bring planets (mostly) peacefully under Imperial control. This trope applies to Republic characters if they are from the dark side path. They commit cruel acts to win, but at the end of the day, they are still recognized as heroes who helped make the Republic a better place. In the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, Emperor Valkorion of the Eternal Empire is definitely one of these. The Zakuul citizens have higher living standards than most Republic core worlds, to say nothing of the Sith Empire with its lousy infrastructure. And Valkorion, as far as any Zakuul citizen could tell, was the very model of a benevolent despot guided by The Force. Unfortunately for the rest of the galaxy, the Eternal Empire's prosperity and stability was only maintained because Valkorion was also Darth Vitiate, the Sith Empire's ruler, and was using the Sith Empire's constant warfare to gain greater power from all the deaths, draining entire planets to stay alive, and embezzling the spoils of war to fund Zakuul's coffers. The player's two Zakuul companions (Senya and Koth) find it a little hard to believe their cherished ruler was really such a monster.

With Anna dying from the icy heart curse and useless to him anymore, Hans then puts back on his masquerade so he can advance his scheme of becoming the King of Arendelle.

Luthor, meanwhile, with all of this, and dying from cancer, felt he had nothing left to lose, as he informed Superman he had several missiles set to go off destroying most of Metropolis, deciding if he was going down, he was going to take most of the city with him, and there was no way Superman could stop them all. Superman then reminds Luthor that most of Metropolis had never even known of his dark side up to that point, and in their minds, he was still the Lex Luthor who built schools, hospitals, funded scholarships, and if he pulled this stunt, in their eyes, he would have officially crossed the Moral Event Horizon, and essentially become the "American Hitler".

Unfortunately for them, their plan has been hampered by a Gambit Pileup and their own side has suffered an epidemic of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. There is also Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer!, who has a heroic reputation amongst the common folk of Europa, despite being a spark-killing maniac. Well, let's be fair: it's because he is a spark-killing maniac. Othar is completely mostly harmless to people who are not sparks and their minions, clanks or monsters, and specifically wants to kill all sparks and their creations because of the mess most of them put normal people in. While this is bad news for our protagonists, who are all sparks, it makes him a hero to the rest of the population (who generally don't like sparks much). Aside from this, there's the fact he's also a spark, and completely nuts.

His younger brother Garma is this as well, although for him it's because he's a legitimately nice person. When Garma dies, Gihren wastes no time turning it to his advantage by using it to rally support for Zeon's war effort. Muruta Azrael from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is all-but-worshipped by the EA generals, and has the Earth's rulers in his pocket. His successor, Lord Djibril, is regarded as a pale shadow of him, primarily because he has none of his clout (well, that and his ridiculous choice of clothing). Chairman Durandal in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny is another good example, his smooth-talking ways and self-positioning as a liberator from the evil Earth Alliance gives him great popularity both in PLANT and on Earth. Though it starts to unravel when Lacus Clyne appears on a worldwide broadcast publicly denouncing him, and at the same time exposing that he'd been using a body double to impersonate her. In Season 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Rustal Elion buys himself some good publicity at the end when he crushes Tekkadan and uses his crooked billionaire ally's media connections to make himself out to be the good guy and Tekkadan the villains. He goes on to bolster this by implementing reforms to Gjallarhorn that are really just a way of centralizing power to himself, but nonetheless make him go down as the man who democratically reformed the organization, and by doing gestures such as giving Mars its independence and co-signing a treaty banning Child Soldiers, both of which gave him a good reputation while not having drawbacks in the slightest for himself.

Most of the targets of Persona 5 are primarily people in power who use their status/influence to take advantage of others. This ranges from a teacher who's a former Olympic athlete who abuses his students to an esteemed artist who secretly plagiarizes his apprentices, all the way up to a well-connected politician with sights on becoming Prime Minister. The Mole, Goro Akechi, is this as well, being an extremely popular Kid Detective who's actually responsible for the very crimes he's lauded for solving. Masayoshi Shido is this to an absolutely insane degree; almost no one other than the Phantom Thieves and their close associates ever express any negative opinion about him. It gets to the point where even after the Phantom Thieves call Shido out in public, and he himself confesses to his crimes that the Phantom Thieves accurately announced beforehand, after his heart is stolen, the public staunchly refuses to acknowledge that Shido is evil at all. It's only after the Phantom Thieves steal the general public's heart that they finally see Shido for the Corrupt Politician and power-hungry Jerkass he really is.

The heroes took photographs linking him to a scheme of illegal waste dumping that was contaminating the community's water supply and he managed to explain it away by claiming he was there to investigate and help. Fortunately, in order to give credence to these claims, he had to finance a project to de-pollute the water supply.

He also bullies the title character for being half wolf, and when charged with delivering medicine to Nome to deal with a Diptheria epidemic, is more interested in the extra good publicity it will get him than saving children's lives. This comes to a head when Balto comes to rescue his team when he gets it hopelessly lost. Not only does he actually fight Balto when he tries to grab the medicine, but when he finally takes it, Steele responds by sabotaging Balto's trail markers to get him hopelessly lost, dooming both his team and aforementioned children to slow, wasting deaths. When he returns to Nome, he makes up a sob story about how he tried his best to get the medicine through, but that a disaster left him the Sole Survivor of the mess, which, again, the other dogs in Nome eat up. Unlike Gaston, however, he ends up being found out for the monster he is and ultimately shunned by the rest of the town.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_998cbda3	comment	Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk originally subverts this, trying to be a Villain with No Publicity: he goes to great lengths to stay out of the limelight, and uttering his name carelessly will cause him to order a hit on you and everyone you ever cared about as a message to others. Eventually, his new mistress Vanessa Marianna persuades him to make a public appearance as a philanthropist in order to get some good publicity in response to the Devil of Hell's Kitchen becoming a pain in his side. In Season 3, Fisk finds himself having to build himself back up to this, as the press are rightfully villainizing him as a criminal, and protesters are demonstrating outside the hotel he's bought and also bribed the FBI into putting him up in. Fisk's method of regaining the good graces of the press is to hire one such agent, Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, stick him in a Daredevil suit, and has him attack the New York Bulletin to both discredit Karen Page, and more importantly get rid of Jasper Evans so that Jasper can't go on record about how Fisk paid him to shank him as part of his gambit to manipulate the FBI. When Karen provokes Fisk by revealing that she killed James Wesley, Fisk orders a hit on her using Dex, and though Matt and Karen drive him off, Father Lantom and two bystanders are killed during the attack. Subsequently, Fisk uses Dex's bloodshed to call a press conference at the hotel, wherein he finally sways the public back to his side. In an effort to break through this, Nelson & Murdock get Ray Nadeem to testify before a grand jury, with Karen also calling a press conference of her own outside the courthouse while Nadeem is testifying. Fisk gets advanced warning of their plans from Felix Manning and has his men intimidate the grand jury into declining to indict Fisk (after a failed attempt to ambush Nadeem and Matt en route to the courthouse). Between this, Vanessa ordering Nadeem be killed by Dex that very evening (and posthumously framed for the death of another FBI agent that his boss killed), Fisk is back on top and a lot of the city's upper crust elite turn out for his and Vanessa's wedding. That is, until Karen and Foggy get the Bulletin to run a video confession Nadeem made before his death, combined with Matt turning Dex against Fisk.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: This is the case for the Daedric Prince Azura. Despite playing an active role in the events of Morrowind that would eventually lead to the destruction of the Dunmer homeland, the Dunmer religion still highly reveres Azura. In fact, the destruction of the Dunmer homeland has made Azura more revered in the Dunmeri religion and was what ultimately ended worship of the Tribunal, her most hated enemies. Boethiah, the Daedric Prince of Plots whose sphere covers a litany of high crimes including murder, assassination, betrayal, and treason is near-universally considered one of the more outright malevolent Daedric Princes. However, similar to Azura, to the Dunmer, he is considered one of the "good" Daedra and the anticipation of Almalexia. Specifically, they see Boethiah as a brutal but positive force, driving them to be tougher and stronger, and to be guarded against treachery and betrayal. In effect, Boethiah's harsh trials and ruthless betrayals push the Dunmer to become greater than they think they are. Mephala is a Daedric Prince whose sphere is "obscured to mortals", but who is associated with manipulation, lies, sex, and secrets. Like Azura and Boethiah, Mephala is considered one of the "good" Daedra to the Dunmer and the anticipation of Vivec. The Dunmer believe that Mephala taught them the skills they would need to evade their enemies or to kill them with secret murder. In their early days, as the Chimer, they were few in number and surrounded by enemies (primarily the Nords and Dwemer) on all sides. She is also credited with organizing the "clan" systems that would eventually become the Dunmeri Great Houses. She has yet to demonstrate any benevolence in-game as mortals would understand it — including her association with Vivec. Meridia is a Daedric Prince whose sphere is obscured to mortals, but is associated with Life Energy, Light, and Beauty. She manages to be both this and a Hero with Bad Publicity. Amongst her faithful and many other groups, Meridia is considered one of the most "benevolent" Daedric Princes. She, in fact, doesn't like it when her actions are painted in anything but a positive light even at her most ruthless, petty, and vindictive.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Tywin Lannister. While ruthless in his war against the Starks and being an all-around jerk, he is known to be a wise ruler who led Westeros into many years of prosperity as the Hand of the King. It helps that this reputation appears to be entirely accurate. He's a terrible father and a vicious enemy, but he is a good ruler. Though that was only when he was The Good Chancellor to the Mad King, his atrocities in his later years, his sacking of King's Landing, the mass murders conducted on his orders by Gregor Clegane and his band of psychopaths have made him disliked as well. Jaime, his son, notes on his father's funeral that aside from some royal guests who are toadying the Lannisters, there are very few mourners because most Kingslanders remember him for his sack and do not like him at all: Joffrey. As a handsome boy-king, many people were willing to blame Lord Varys and the dwarf Tyrion for the problems of the kingdom, believing they'd led him astray. In actuality, Joffrey wanted to shoot peasants with his crossbow, while the other two are doing their best to keep order. This impression seemed to mostly wear off as the situation worsened and rumors about Joffrey's origins spread. Most characters seem to have the same feelings regarding Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish, respecting his intelligence, laughing at his jokes, thinking about him with fondness, and generally viewing him as about as threatening as a cute, little songbird. Few have seen him for what he really is (and they are the ones with even worse PR such as Tyrion and Varys) and fewer know that he is responsible for plunging Westeros into a bloody civil war in the first place. Euron Greyjoy is an interesting case of playing with this trope: he's both hated by his family and feared by the general populace of the Ironmen for his sinister reputation and cruelty, while also being respected as a Shrouded in Myth badass and living legend. When Euron returns from exile, he surprises a lot of characters by becoming King of the Ironmen fairly rather than simply slaughtering his rivals and then gives the Ironmen fresh and unexpected conquests, which is all he needs to get good publicity in a Testosterone Poisoning Blood Knight culture like that of the Ironmen. Euron also acts like a pleasant boss to his men by giving them treasure and gifts but it's only a facade to hide the fact that he cares nothing for them and are completely expendable to him. This makes him probably more dangerous than Ramsay Snow and Gregor Clegane as while he is just as sadistic and psychopathic as them, he can at least keep his sadistic urges in check to make others not suspect what a monster he truly is. Renly Baratheon is one of the most charismatic and powerful nobleman in the Seven Kingdoms, ruling the Stormlands, however, is in private a Sleazy Politician and Corrupt Bureaucrat, and despite being Master of Laws shows little concern for the law. When his brother King Robert dies, he plots to seize power even before Robert is cold and then marries into the powerful Tyrell family to usurp the crown, before he hears the truth of Joffrey's illegitimacy. This sets him up as a foil to the middle Baratheon brother Stannis, who claims the throne out of a sense of duty, as under Westerosi law Robert having no legitimate children makes Stannis his heir, however his strong principles and lack of social skills make him disliked by most of the nobility. Renly, meanwhile, tries claiming the throne largely out of vanity and greed, refusing Stannis' offer to be their heir until Stannis has a son, remain in rule of the Stormlands, and on the Small Council. Renly plans to kill Stannis the next day in battle, citing his larger army as justifying him having a better claim than Stannis. However, Melisandre, a witch who believes Stannis her Messiah, assassinates Renly with blood magic, yet after his death, Renly goes through a Historical Hero Upgrade, as it is believed his ghost helped defeat Stannis' army and save King's Landing at the Battle of the Blackwater, the new Tyrell-backed regime overlooking the fact he was clearly a traitor. Meanwhile, Brienne of Tarth, who was in love with Renly, continues to look at him in a favorable light. The Tyrell family is this as a whole, although their villainy is more ruthlessness than malice. They conspire to marry Margery to four different Baratheon kings to join their family into royalty. The first, King Robert himself, is the only one where they never got their opportunity as they (along with Renly) were planning to try to get Robert smitten with Margaery before revealing the truth of the incest. When Robert dies before this plot is enacted and Renly declares himself king, they join his cause even knowing he is not the legitimate heir. While fighting for Renly's cause, they seize all food heading up towards King's Landing from the Reach, causing mass starvation and violence. When they decide to throw in with the Lannisters, they then give away food to the poor, who don't realize that the Tyrells are the reason why there was a shortage in the first place. After obtaining Sansa's (a shell-shocked 11-year-old) trust, they verify Joffrey's true nature and kill him almost immediately after the ceremony is legalized while also setting up Sansa and Tyrion as patsies. While A Feast for Crows shows Cersei to be awfully delusional and paranoid to the reader, the truth is that the Tyrells really are to blame for some of the bad things that have happened to her, and she doesn't suspect them enough.

As he tells his subordinate Django, the three years he spent Kaya's employ was to build up a good reputation, so that when Kaya dies in the Black Cat Pirates' raid, no one in the village will think twice about Kaya leaving him her fortune- provided Django hypnotizes her into making said will before dying, anyway. Sir Crocodile. Suave, amiable casino-owner by day, devious mastermind by night. This is a theme in the Punk Hazard arc as two separate villains get this treatment. The primary Arc Villain, Caesar Clown, has devoted followers that call him Master, but whom he sees as mere experiment fodder. The second is Marine Vice-Admiral Vergo, who puts up the front of A Father to His Men but is revealed to be in league with the mysterious "Joker." Oddly enough, the character in this arc with the worst reputation actually chooses to ally with the Straw Hats. Donquixote Doflamingo to Dressrosa. To the public, he is a benevolent rightful king who rescued the country from the previous ruler who apparently went insane one day and started indiscriminately killing civilians, and ushered in a new age of peace, wealth, and prosperity. Behind the scenes though, he is a bloodthirsty pirate and underworld crime lord who usurped the throne by using his string powers to puppet the king and his army into committing atrocities. He uses his subordinate, Sugar's ability to turn any troublemakers, criminals, and opponents into subservient toys and mindwipe any memories of them from the world. His approval rating literally falls to 0 once Usopp defeats Sugar and everyone connects the missing pieces, and find out Doflamingo was the one who destroyed the nation in the first place. Kurozumi Orochi to Wano, of the Written by the Winners variety. Orochi became the shogun usurping it from the Kozuki clan, with the help of the Animal Kingdom Pirates; and thanks to propaganda taught even at school, he's believed to be a hero, while the members of the Kozuki clan are considered enemies of the country. This is only the case in the Flower Capital though, while the rest of the inhabitants despise him for having turned Wano into a wasteland. Also the World Government, though this is less having good publicity and more that they cover up anything that could bring them bad publicity. As the story progresses, however, the World Government's ability to cover up their most embarrassing mistakes begins to falter, to the point that the Five Elders acknowledge a "cleansing" may be in order.

He's also the man who gives good PR to the otherwise useless superhero Captain Qwark. Qwark then does a Faceâ€“Heel Turn through the course of the game and, in the second game, tries to manufacture heroic publicity for himself by causing the Protopet disaster. The third game is then spent with much time under his command, believing he's going to turn on you before he fakes a Heroic Sacrifice, only to finally do some actual heroics at the end. Ratchet: Deadlocked gives us an interesting subversion in Ace Hardlight, the champion of the DreadZone deathmatches. The Big Bad Gleeman Vox is a media mogul who is trying to promote Ace as The Ace (Wink wink) everyone should adore and therefore buy merchandise of, but apparently no one really wants any. Vox complains at the beginning of the game that he can't even give Ace products away.

The former is a Cipher Admin, the latter is the Big Bad, the true boss of the Cipher crime syndicate. Mr. Verich in PokÃ©mon XD: Gale of Darkness appears to be a kindly old rich guy who's loved in Gateon Part, but is actually Greevil, the worldwide boss of Cipher. Dusknoir from PokÃ©mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers has elements of this at first. Everyone thinks he's a famous, knowledgable explorer, but he's actually Primal Dialga's servant who was sent back to the past to stop the player character and Grovyle from fixing the future. Blake Hall from PokÃ©mon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is the president of Altru Inc., the largest corporation in Almia. He is highly popular among the citizens of Almia because he claims to have invented an efficient alternative to fossil fuels, but he drove his father from his own company because he didn't want to use the Dark Crystal, and his 'efficient energy source' involves using the Dark Crystal to make every PokÃ©mon in the region his mindless slave. Elite Four Malva in PokÃ©mon X and Y was a famous reporter in addition to being one of the heads of the PokÃ©mon League, and abused her position to act as The Quisling for the Apocalypse Cult Team Flare. Despite this she doesn't face any repercussions for supporting them and even continues to do so, expressing resentment towards the Player Character for stopping their Evil Plan (which was genocide). The Teal Mask DLC from PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet presents an especially sad example. Munkidori, Okidogi, and Fezendipity are viewed as the "Loyal Three" by Mossui Town, because they supposedly died trying to save the village from a vicious ogre. In reality, Ogerpon attacked them because they stole three masks from her and her master that were made by the only villager who didn't shun them upon their arrival.

The people turned to the G Corporation, led by his father Kazuya, one of the series' villains (and ex-hero), as the savior of the world from the Zaibatsu, and Kazuya happily uses it to his advantage to try to get rid of Jin. Never mind that Kazuya is also evil and has done lots of atrocities with the Zaibatsu starting with the second game of series. Before the series started, Kazuya's father Heihachi was known to run the Zaibatsu as this, as well. His villainy was originally smaller scale and mostly defined by his actions towards Kazuya.

Darius Dunn in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward. Oroku Saki himself during Season 3 of the Turtles revamp. By singlehandedly funding the rebuilding of New York City after an alien invasion, he was hailed as a hero and humanitarian. While it hadn't directly affected the Turtles' efforts against him much (being ninjas and mutant freaks, they have to work in secrecy anyway), it was still irritating. The public was never the wiser, even constructing a library in his honor when he was finally defeated. And then there's Chris Bradford in the 2012 TMNT cartoon.

Of course, this is probably to be expected given the xenophobic level of national pride displayed by many citizens. Another example would be Clovis who, during his ridiculously short screen time, is seemingly well-received, by the Britanians anyway. He was very media savvy if nothing else. The only people who seem to care in-series are Nunnally, Euphemia, and Cornelia. And even Euphemia, who cares greatly for Clovis, is willing to completely forget about him in light of what Clovis actually did — which is implied to be not as important as revenge/justice — and stop Lelouch from hanging out with those naughty friends of his and beating up their mutual sister. Of course, considering the fact that Clovis committing mass murder on the inhabitants of the ghetto is blamed on those same people, his publicity is just standard Britannian policy. The massive turnout for his funeral IS a requirement for all school-goers. Taken to extremes with Schneizel, who always keeps up a good generous front to those he defeats, while still walking away having gained something more important.

In Final Fantasy VII, we have Shinra, who actively hides its atrocities and provides the planet with much-needed electricity. (Plus, La RÃ©sistance has a tendency to induce civilian casualties in its activities.) Edea in Final Fantasy VIII is welcomed with cheers when she gives her speech at Deling City. They seem to be even happier when she kills off corrupt President Deling. The leaders of the Yevon clergy from Final Fantasy X, especially Omnicidal Maniac Seymour. Cocoon of Final Fantasy XIII keeps the majority of its human citizens safe, so who cares if a few "undesirables" get exiled to Pulse? The Empire of Niflheim seems to be one in Final Fantasy XV in that it's well supported by the people of the countries they conquered. From the look of things, they've managed to convince Prince Ravus that Insomnia is the one that killed the royalty of Tenebrae and managed to convince those under Lucis rule that they're there to liberate them and bring equality to the people. In Final Fantasy Tactics, the true manipulators hide behind the shadows, using political and religious leaders as well as local legends to their advantage. Particularly, the Church of Glabados pushes both sides to start the War of the Lions, expecting them to destroy each other, so the Church could come in and save the populous, and gain true control of the country. The true hero gets written out of history as a heretic (though accounts of what really happened survives).

They quickly gained public support for hunting down rogue heroes that wouldn't register with the government. In Secret Invasion (2008) and throughout the Dark Reign period, he got promoted to the head of all government superheroes. A large part of the reason he got away with this is that he positioned himself in the media as The Atoner, and he also pointed out that he wasn't the only Green Goblin. He eventually lost his position when he had a major breakdown caught on camera, showing that he hadn't been able to put the Goblin that far behind him. Dark Reign also shows the disadvantages of this trope. The X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Hercules all used Osborn's need to maintain good publicity against him, putting him in compromising positions to the extent that Tony arranged for Osborn to beat him up on live television while Tony was suffering brain damage in a virtually obsolete Iron Man armor. You just know Osborn wishes he could simply pumpkin bomb them like in the good old days.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_aba7ffb9	comment	From The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is Gilliath Osborne, the Evil Chancellor of the empire of Erebonia and Big Bad of the games. This is due to being part of an Evil Versus Evil conflict against the country's nobility, who have a long history of classism and oppression. While Osborne's expansionist policies have created his fair share of enemies, said policies have also improved the living conditions for the country's commoners, which result in him looking better in comparison to most of the nobility. However, by the end of the series he winds up becoming a downplayed inversion- despite his legitimately good intentions and the fact that his actions ultimately benefitted Erebonia, saved it from Ishmelga, and done a lot to hamper the Ancient Conspiracy Ouroboros, thus saving untold numbers of lives, the atrocities he committed in the process combined with how few people know his true motives instead makes him go down in history as a power-hungry tyrant.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_ac259af8	comment	Saki: Teru is featured in mahjong magazines, depicted with a smile and a generic ambitious quote. The effects of this are felt in the first part of the nationals, when a reporter tells another that Nodoka is the only Kiyosumi player worth noting, meaning that people seem to have bought into Teru's lie that she didn't have a sister. While Teru indeed disowned Saki, it never really made it to the news in the main series. Saki only hears about being disowned when Mihoko mentions asking Nishida about Teru and Saki's relationship during Mihoko's own interview.

He also knows how to work around the confines of the law while maintaining a relatively clean public image, granting him immunity on both fronts. Even after his death and the much more benevolent OpÃ©ra takes over as the Kurvaz leader, some soldiers still hold him to high regard, completely ignoring how he almost caused The End of the World as We Know It through his own power-hungry ambitions.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_ac978b2	comment	President Pat Buckman in Caliphate got elected shortly after a nuclear strike by Islamic terrorists on American soil and builds his campaign on the promise of retribution due to the administration's weaknesses to fight terrorism. Within three years, he slowly erodes democracy and freedom under the guise of "putting his house in order" and all with the public and senate's unanimous approval since they are too distraught and grieved by their loss to care about what he is doing: He interns all American Muslims under suspicion of being terrorists and evicts them from the USA, then he places his own political rivals in camps "for their own protection" since they'd be killed...by his own men. He then perpetrates the biggest mass murder in history by nuking most Muslim-majority countries in the world and decides to invade both Canada and Mexico simultaneously. By the time he is done, Buckman has made himself into dictator for life and turned the United States into the Imperial States of America.

We all know how that turns out. Considering that Zelda's plan of action ends up giving Ganondorf the Triforce of Power, a holy relic that makes him effectively immortal and insanely powerful, the old Ganondorf is very, very preferable.

He developed a super-intelligent, highly destructive Killer Robot by creating prototypes, hiring retired heroes to locate and "stop it from rampaging" on their island (killing dozens of heroes in the process). When a hero succeeds, Syndrome collects data from the battle and rebuilds and improves the robot until it succeeds. Once it becomes formidable enough, Syndrome unleashes it onto the populace, lets it destroy the town a little, and then he swoops in and "saves" everybody. At least, that's the plan. Turned out it had gotten so smart it figured out that blasting Syndrome's remote will let it win the battle.

He's also third in philanthropic contributions behind Kord Industries and Wayne Enterprises. It is due to the destruction and chaos brought about by the fight between Superman and Zod in Man of Steel that he is able to put his foot in the door and further cultivate a "Nice Guy" image by rebuilding Metropolis from the ground up, as shown in this commercial for Turkish Airlines. Behind the scenes, however, Lex is a complete psychopath who commits all manner of horrible deeds, such as blowing up a Senate hearing and creating Doomsday, an actual threat to humanity, all to kill Superman, who hates just for existing. By the end of the film, however, Lex is outed for the psychopath he really is and thrown in prison. Lex's late father, Alexander Luthor Sr., was much the same. While he managed to endear himself to the public by claiming that LexCorp was named after his son, presenting himself as a savvy businessman and devoted father who rose up from nothing, in reality, he was an abusive parent who beat his son at the very least (Lex at one point mentions suffering "daddy's fists and abominations"). Given that Lex himself kept this facade up even after his death, it's possible that his father's image had become the lynchpin of the company.

His robot lackeys, meanwhile, switch sides more often than football supporters. With the aforementioned sun-blocking via his Eggmoon, Sonic goes about destroying Eggman's towers, and even Sonic's friends perceive him to be the villain until Sonic explicitly tells everybody that the Eggmoon couldn't block out the sun all the time unless Eggman was moving it by himself.

He also deliberately put into places draconian rules specifically designed to keep him in absolute control of everyone onboard. But despite this, most passengers view him as a benevolent benefactor who selflessly saved the last of humanity, to the point that many virtually (and as of Season 2, seemingly literally) worship him.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Mr. Saxon. See President Evil. Like Jasmine, brainwashing is involved. Davros in "Genesis of the Daleks" — at least, before he arranges the Kaled Dome's destruction (and the extermination of his people) to avoid having to cover his tracks. Davros also returns to this in his Sixth Doctor appearance in "Revelation of the Daleks", in which he's credited for helping solve universal hunger. You know, until it's revealed that his food is made of people. Whoops. The Daleks could count as a group of Villains with Good Publicity in "Victory of the Daleks". The Doctor knows what they really are, but they have even Winston Churchill convinced that they are nothing but loyal robots who will fight for England. And serve them tea. The same thing is true in the Second Doctor-era story, "The Power of the Daleks". Everyone in the human colony is convinced that the Daleks are robots that are there to help them in any way possible. This belief is reinforced by the Daleks' seemingly endless mantra of "I. AM. YOUR. SER-VANT." There's also Salamander in "The Enemy of the World". Rassilon, Founder of Time Lord Society, was often portrayed as a benevolent figure by the Time Lords. In "The Five Doctors", he even helps defeat the villain and restore order. However, in the same story, he is implied to be this trope; the Third Doctor says that he put a stop to misuse of time travel, while the Second Doctor says that the official history portrayed him well, but there were rumours that he was a tyrant who was imprisoned in the Dark Tower by his fellow Time Lords. In "The End of Time", he has returned during the Time War to lead the Time Lords and has become an Omnicidal Maniac, willing to bring about the title threat to ensure the Time Lords Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence.note This had already been happening in the Expanded Universe, in which it was implied that he brought about the supposed death of his friend Omega to ensure he could rule Gallifrey. In Big Finish Doctor Who, he is the Big Bad of many of 8's stories and a massive Evilutionary Biologist. It is claimed that he stole the power of regeneration from the Vampires and tried to exterminate them all even though they were a peaceful race that only fed on mindless animals they bred. Then, to prevent any races developing which could threaten the Time Lords, he made sure that many races evolved in Time Lord form and trapped the Divergence in another universe.

A mook informs him they've taken the village as he storms through a gaggle of reporters in the style of Patton. Molina, as Whiplash, orders the mook to "Torch the place, burn everything." As the mook rushes off, Molina stops him and says "Wait, that's bad publicity. Have the photographers take pictures of the boys straightening up the place." As the mook rushes off this time Molina breaks the fourth wall by telling the camera to learn from history or repeat it.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_c7f59f7d	comment	In their first run-in with Brother Blood, the villain manipulated the Teen Titans into attacking church members in full view of TV cameras. He then played it off as a terrorist attack by costumed vigilantes and staged his own fake death to put the blame on the Titans. (His priestesses explained that he would rise from the dead, as he had done several times before.) The ploy went a long way to legitimize the Church of Blood within America and made it difficult for the Teen Titans to act against him. Considering that his name is Brother Blood, he has a Satanic wardrobe, and his church is decorated to look like a cross between Hell and Transylvania, how anyone would not see that this is clearly a mustache-twirling villain of the first order is anyone's guess. He's really good at the whole "charismatic cult leader" thing. Even Dick Grayson himself joined the Church of Blood at one point!

Renata Glasc, the Chem-Baroness, is an incredibly ruthless and predatory businesswoman making huge power plays within Zaun and Piltover, ranging from merely predatory to outright militaristic extents, but among the public, she's a darling of the chemtech industry and her name associated with quality. Part of this is maintained with carefully-chosen acts of charity, with her engaging in philanthropic acts like offering free medicine and providing helpful infrastructure in exchange for their undying servitude of anyone who uses them.

In "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce", the President and the White House are made out to be evil people who caused the 9-11 attacks, a conspiracy perpetrated by themselves. Then, in the end, we find out that none of this is true, and the reason they perpetrated the hoax was so that people would think the government had everything under control.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_da75fd61	comment	Sheriff Lucas Buck of American Gothic (1995). Nowhere is this more obvious than in one episode where he is strolling down the hallway of the town hospital: on every side of him, men tip their hats and women hand him flowers, little old men and women thank him for the charity work that has enabled them to afford their medicines, children smile and wave, and so on. No one in Trinity could possibly believe good ol' boy Buck could have a mean bone in his body, let alone be Evil Incarnate. Gail finds herself working (unsuccessfully) against this mindset when investigating Buck and his connection to her parents' deaths; Dr. Crower is unable to convince anyone the sheriff is pure evil, hence making it easy to lock him up as crazy; and Caleb, who knows right off the bat that something isn't right about the fellow, ends up being taken in by his charisma and accepting him as his true father who's been wrongfully maligned and only wants to help raise him right.

He's a highly respected senior warrior, and, by the end of the first book, becomes deputy (second-in-command) of the Clan (and therefore next in line as leader). However, he murdered a previous deputy in order to try and claim the position, which only the young hero Fireheart and his two best friends know. Tigerclaw is such a respected cat in the Clan that nobody suspects him of treachery — even the leader rejected the idea when Fireheart told her his suspicions. Being deputy, Tigerclaw can assign Fireheart punishments in order to keep an eye on him, or order him to perform a life-threatening task, or suggest to the leader that Fireheart should be driven out of the Clan.

But then El Patron joined the newly formed Gentlemen's Club and Vega was fired. It turned out Richard Negrin, the World Wrestling League founder, was the bigger villain with better publicity, so Savio was no longer an example when he returned.

He gives up the act in the same episode it's revealed to be an act with The Reveal of his latest invention: a Mini-Mecha capable of curbstomping all but the most skilled benders. Invoked by Amon when he stated this as a major part of his plan needing followers to accomplish what he was doing, therefore avoiding actions that would put him in a negative light until he had enough. He was incredibly successful, amassing enough followers to threaten all of Republic City. Varrick is well respected in the Southern Water Tribe and Republic City. However, he's very devious behind closed doors such that he blew up the Southern Water Tribe Cultural Center, defrauded and nearly bankrupted Future Industries to force Asami to give him controlling interest, and attempted to kidnap the President, all of which was part of his plan to escalate the Water Tribe Civil War. He does get caught later on, but his whole plan went south anyway because he didn't count on Vaatu being involved. The Red Lotus became instant folk heroes to the downtrodden of Ba Sing Se after assassinating the Earth Queen. Played with, however, in that Zaheer dodges around revealing his identity or those of his cronies. Kuvira. To the people she's helping, she's called The Great Uniter, and she has spent the last three years forcing the fractured Earth Kingdom back together. To other world leaders, she's seen as a Well-Intentioned Extremist at best, who needs to step down from power as soon as she fixes the Earth Kingdom. It gets to the point that when she usurps the Crown Prince at his own coronation and declares herself Emperor, she is cheered on by the crowds. However, she does lose it later on as she becomes Drunk with Power, but that doesn't bother her until she's finally defeated and comes to her senses.

Some people know she's controlling, a few consider her a Rich Bitch or a Mean Boss, but she gets away with murder because the town just can't imagine she'd ever sink to the depths that she actually spends most of her life in. An even better example is the Red Queen from its spin-off series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, who is generally liked by the population (though some are terrified of her) and listens to the complaints of her subjects. Her popularity is probably helped by the fact that she was preceded by Cora, and that royalty in the OUAT universe tends not to be great in the first place.

Only Holmes knows that Moriarty is a crime lord, but he can't prove it. (And when Sherlock Holmes can't prove something, you know the bad guy is very good at what he does.) Moriarty's right-hand man Colonel Moran also counts for this; when Moriarty's gang was rounded up, Moran, who had amassed a good name as an honorable soldier and hunter, was never implicated.

In Mega Man Star Force 3, Mr. King is a well-renowned philanthropist whose King Foundation funds all manner of public works such as orphanages to benefit children. He's also the leader of the criminal syndicate Dealer and uses said orphanages to create disposable Tykebombs. Copy X of Mega Man Zero. Instituted policies of genocide towards the reploids of Neo Arcadia to try and ease the burden of an energy crisis and is dangerously delusional about his own self-righteousness, but the humans see him as a hero because his methods have ensured their comfort. After his (second) death in 3, some of the humans in 4 even go so far as to claim that "X" was the only Reploid who ever truly looked after humans, not even realizing that by his second revival in 3 he was fully willing to kill humans too. Subverted with Dr. Weil of Mega Man Zero 3 and 4. He made a very intricate plan to make Zero and the Resistance look very bad, which, in turn, made him the hero. However, no sooner had this been established, did he turn on the people of Neo Arcadia, and they were able to finally see what sort of monster he really was. Serpent and Master Albert from Mega Man ZX and Advent, respectively. Serpent passes himself off as the head of Slither Inc., a national hero for both providing energy across the country and using his private military to fight off Maverick attacks. Turns out he's actually behind those very same attacks in the first place, using death and destruction to kidnap people and sacrifice their souls to Model W. His true intentions don't become obvious to the public until he has his fleet of warships attack Innerpeace near the end of the game for one giant harvest, firebombing part of the city. Albert is a member of the Sage Trinity, the highest authority of the world government, and seemingly wants to help protect the world, except he's actually the man behind the creation of Model W, using his influence and connections to put his plan to become a god into motion and being the one who influenced Serpent in the first place.

It engages in practically every single Trope in the description, including capturing Sheridan and attempting an Engineered Public Confession as a major story arc. Tellingly, during a meeting with an Earth Force Major who reports martial law has been declared and troops are deployed in all Earth's major cities, he notes that martial law has been (officially) met with widespread public approval! And things have never been calmer. Sheridan replies, "Yeah, but it's the peace of the gun". Sheridan then proceeds to use his own guns quite effectively. The Vorlons have manipulated the younger races into perceiving them as angels (and their enemies as demons), and up until the fourth season, the protagonists — especially the Minbari — regard them as the Big Good. In truth, they are not nearly so benevolent.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_f9fd68fc	comment	You can also be a Villain With Good Publicity in Overlord II, but this time, it comes by mind-controlling the populace into loving you, rather than genuinely earning their respect — you cruelly use them as tools, pawns, cannon fodder, and meat shields, but they have no choice but to be worshipful servants. A better example is Emperor Solaris — while the Overlord's "good" or "lawful evil" option is brainwashing his subjects, most of them were unwilling serfs under the "Glorious Empire" before you conquer them instead, the rest are the spoiled elite nobles, that love their emperor, along with almost everyone that isn't a slave, or similarly oppressed. The Real kicker is that the Emperor rose to power on the back of anti-magic sentiment after a cataclysm and plague caused by magic, earning the love of many, and the eternal devotion of the upper class and nobles he uses to maintain his power. Beyond being the main but distant antagonist of the entire game, he also is secretly Flroian Greenheart a trusted follower of Queen Fay and seemingly the closest thing the story has to a real hero when he isn't being the comic relief. More than that it turns out he was the cause of the cataclysm and plague in the first place because he was an elf with no magic and sought out the Overlord's tower heart after the last one disappeared, accidentally causing it to go critical and explode like a nuclear reactor. He then used the crisis to gain political power and champion an anti-magic agenda while secretly gathering all the "purged" re-stolen, magic for himself with his end game being ascending to godhood, with his failed attempt creating the final boss of the game. This becomes obvious in the last levels when he outright exposes his citizens to magic via their "healing fountains" in order to turn them into hostile zombie-like things just to buy a bit more time against the Overlord.

Villain with Good Publicity / int_fa5e90fd	comment	The Crey Corporation in City of Heroes is meant to be this, but there is a jarring stretch of Willing Suspension of Disbelief in the process. There are a TON of missions involving Crey conspiracies, several stories that show deep levels of corruption within the company, and hundreds of Crey operatives (wearing outfits with the distinctive Crey logo, even) in several very public areas that take potshots at every last hero to pass by while often strongarming civilians. One randomly generated mission even has them attacking a bank to get "frozen assets". One would think that with a rap sheet like this, Crey would have been destroyed with utter impunity as priority number one, but they're still mentioned as having products in nearly every home and a respectable face. It's practically a whole organization Clark Kenting it up. That's mainly an attempt to have the plot advance as you level up. High-level arcs involve Crey as nothing but the rogue remnants of their security forces after their Corrupt Corporate Executive faced trial for about a million charges. Also from City of Heroes, Westin Phipps. To the general public, he is an unsung hero standing up for the weak and downtrodden against the threat of Arachnos. In truth, he is in the employment of said villainous organization, charged with finding whatever gives the people hope and driving it into the ground.

Knowing how to pay lip-service to social justice culture (earning the respect of a councilman by calling her "councilperson", for instance) and his past as a decorated veteran means he automatically gets a certain amount of respect in the community, even as he steadily escalates his harassment campaign and violence against the Miyagi-Do dojo and Johnny Lawrence. When Kreese speaks at a local political meeting, both Johnny and Daniel are stunned at how easily the abusive, manipulative psychopath can win people over while their own legitimate but poorly phrased/spoken points get ignored. Terry Silver is even better than Kreese. Thanks to his immense wealth and connections, as well as his immense intelligence and manipulation skills, he is able to paint himself as a humble philanthropic karate sensei and keep others in the dark about his true nature. He was even able to fool Amanda La Russo briefly that he was actually better than Kreese as well as briefly turn her against Daniel by acting as if Daniel pushed him harder than he did.
