Developed by Elixir Studios in 2004, Evil Genius is a Space-Management Game best described as Dungeon Keeper meets James Bond. You are the eponymous evil genius, and it is your job to construct a villainous lair in an active volcano, recruit henchmen, steal priceless treasures, hold the world for ransom, and fight off pesky super agents. Also, you need to keep your minions well-trained and happy, because the looting and ransoming won't take care of itself.Notable for a quirky sense of humor mixed with classically over-the-top megalomanical villainy. Everything has a '60s vibe to it, and the forces of justice are just as stereotypical as your own minions.There's also a great deal of freedom and a wide range of methods you can use to complete your overarching goal. Want to run a fortress island with massive numbers of armed guards, machinegun emplacements, and horrifying freaks of nature, all emphasizing firepower? Perfectly reasonable. Want a deadly secluded island filled with martial arts disciples? Feel free! Want to beguile your enemies with squads of elite deceptive social minions who will leave their heads spinning and questioning their loyalty? That's also perfectly viable. Want to create a resort island as a front for your evil machinations? Go right ahead. Want to set a thousand deadly traps and twisty, mystifying corridors that will leave the forces of justice lost, confused, and very very dead? Nothing's stopping you. You're allowed to either discard the Villain Ball with prejudice or wrap both hands around it and run straight for the end zone.Upon release, the game was reasonably successful but not enough to save its developer, Elixir Studios, from closing down a year after its launch. The IPs were bought up by Rebellion, who would release two different and now-defunct Facebook titles, Evil Genius WMD and Evil Genius Online. A full sequel, Evil Genius 2: World Domination released on March 30, 2021. | |

Villain Cred | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_1cc39ddc | comment |
Villain Cred: "Notoriety", which represents how widely your misdeeds are known to the world. Increasing it is necessary to progress in the main storyline, and is the main reason to perform side missions. You also get increases to your minion cap for high Notoriety, but on the downside, once you become ''really' notorious, Super Agents start showing up, and the Forces of Justice ramp up their assaults much quicker. | |

Who Shot JFK? | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_1f8cdb5c | comment |
Who Shot JFK?: The "Assassinate Mr. President" mission involves sniping him from a "grassy knoll". Partially subverted in that you don’t actually kill him, according to the briefing, as that would cause a suicidally huge amount of heat- you just hit him with a drug-filled dart and he trips out, showing that you could have shot him, but didn't (which may be a reference to theories about a man with an umbrella who people claim fired a dart that paralyzed JFK.) | |

Not the Intended Use | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_20e20e99 | comment |
Not the Intended Use: The "confusing pop-up" trap is meant to bewilder your enemies, sapping their Smarts. However, they also form a temporary impassable wall while they're up, allowing you to restrict the agents' movements so they don't accidentally dodge your other, deadlier traps. The freezer's intended use is to store body bags, so accordingly it disables their loyalty-sapping aura. In fact, it disables all auras, so it can also be used for storing the dismantled totem pole, which also has a cursed negative aura until you reassemble it. Likewise, using a freezer for your trap room is helpful so that your minions don't have to bother moving body bags around, not only saving time but also preventing them from having their loyalty drained or tripping the traps themselves. Because you can only place a handful of items in corridors it's actually not that efficient to use them to connect parts of your base. Instead, use the barracks so you can line your base with lockers, beds, not only allowing you to save tons of room, but as a bonus or allows your minions to sleep without having to run across your lair. Do make sure you actually have small parts of corridor though, otherwise you'll find you won't be able to place fire extinguishers anywhere. Lord Kane's "Smooth Operator" ability is intended to remove the targeted enemy's collected heat. However, it's much better used for its unintended side effect of completely immobilizing them from the moment you give Kane the order until he actually performs it (which can be quite some time if he's very far away), allowing your other minions to beat on them risk-free. Freaks are pretty obviously intended to be some free Dumb Muscle. However, they have numerous downsides in this department... one of which, that their Smarts cap is so low they can never avoid your traps, gives them the much better alternate purpose of being locked in a box with some trap triggers to constantly set them off. Attach those triggers to some well-placed wind traps, and any agents or tourists that wander into the wrong corridor get stuck being blown around for free combo money forever. An in universe example, most of the interrogation devices are actually standard pieces of equipment that your minions can use for other purposes with the interrogation being a secondary effect. Only two items (Interrogation Chair and Bookcases) have no purpose other than interrogation. Notably, all of the research machines you can use in the laboratory can also be used for interrogation. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Minions and foreign agents are both more likely to set off traps when their attention stat is low. Less skilled agents can also miss the bodies, henchmen and other incredibly conspicuous objects. Reducing enemy's attention with distractions and social minions is a big part of both keeping an operation quiet and ensuring traps are deadlier. People who are distracted by a social minion will ignore anything happening around them while that's taking place, up to and including someone else punching the heck out of them. Minions will also use doors without problem if they can get through them... blissfully ignorant of any enemy agents (guns and swords optional) that have been standing in front of said door trying to force it open. Cue a lot of snooping and/or explodey death. | |

| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_2222a43e | comment |
Additionally, the presence of bodybags lying about your base gives your minions second thoughts about being part of your Nebulous Evil Organisation, sapping their loyalty as long as they remain present. Putting them in the freezer keeps those bodies out of the minions' sight and minds. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: While the devs stated this takes place in the 60s, the level of technology and several historical inaccuracies very much puts the game into this. One point of contention, for example, is the existence of British India (under S.A.B.R.E.) about two decades after it had been dismantled in real life. Likewise the game denotes the American Mid-West, Middle East, and Southeast Asia as the best places for cash, even though none of these regions would've been particularly rich at that time (the Middle East was just discovering oil and China had just started industralising, meaning that the cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Shanghai are nowhere the shining skyscrapers of today; as for the Mid-West, while it isn't poor it's definitely not richer than the East or West Coast either.) | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Red Ivan, who can be as much a danger to your base and your minions as to the forces of justice due to his preferred weapon being a bazooka. If you absolutely must use Ivan in game, it's best to keep him confined to a Topside Shack until he's needed. He can be quite useful in the right situations, but he needs to be kept on a tight leash and carefully micromanaged, which might push him into Difficult, but Awesome territory. | |

And then Ivan turns it up to eleven and has a RAWKET LAWNCHAIR! Most players refuse to use him since he's a bit trigger happy and will set most of your base on fire. Others swap it out for a machinegun, usually Dirk's. Those that insist on using him unmodded take advantage of the fact that henchmen won't pass through level 3 or 4 doors unless specifically ordered to, and lock him in a topside shack until they need him. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Sadly, quite a few, more in the vein of Bugs That Will Make You Want To Break The Game CD variety: Service minions escorting brainwashed Agents outside of the base have a habit of 'dropping off' the Mind Raped person right in front of the base. Bonus points if the drop-off zone is located inside a Camouflaged Door, meaning the door will stay open constantly. Some people have reported that both two Super Agents' Karmic Deaths have caused crashes. The only fix? Don't look at them. Hope you weren't excited about seeing your enemies defeated... After a late-game mission, the Forces of Justice have been convinced that each other is the problem. The game tells you that they'll fight against each other while on your island, freeing you from both worrying about Good Guy retaliation levels. For every time this actually happens, there's a handful of times when the massively-armed soldiers drop the Idiot Ball and work together to deal with you. The second objective requires you to build a conference table to invite the crime bosses for a meeting. If the table is then destroyed, or even moved elsewhere, this objective will never show up as complete. All you can do is to reload a saved game (thankfully, it's also possible to fix this by editing the savegame.) | |

More specifically, this is done as a Dog-Kicking Establishing Character Moment by the Evil Genius at the end of the tutorial mission to the lady who has been guiding you to this point, after she says that she has committed all her other lessons to video tapes. Her desperate protests that she can still be useful are ignored as the Evil Genius gleefully chuckles an Evil Laugh after the Henchman executes her. | |

No Body Left Behind | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_3c7ccb69 | comment |
No Body Left Behind: Dead bodies turn into body bags that will eventually fade. Zigzagged in that body bags attract the attention of agents, and should one of them fade while "out in the open", the world heat level will rise. That's what the freezers are for. Additionally, the presence of bodybags lying about your base gives your minions second thoughts about being part of your Nebulous Evil Organisation, sapping their loyalty as long as they remain present. Putting them in the freezer keeps those bodies out of the minions' sight and minds. For what it's worth, your minions just fade away upon death. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_407d3e6d | comment |
You need to send your minions out into the world to plot in order to discover the Acts of Infamy that will progress the story. Of course it's unrealistic to expect the game to just tell you where everything is so you can breeze through the plot in an hour, but given there are twenty regions in the game it can take a painfully long time to find that one Act you need. Plus, deciding who to send to plot is a Morton's Fork in and of itself: If you send basic construction workers you don't have to worry too much if one of them dies, but it takes even more time; if you send your science minions you can potentially cut time down, but if one of them dies it's a process to train another minion again. | |

Death Trap | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_55c79f7c | comment |
Death Trap: Part of the fun in the game is designing a convoluted, Goldbergesque series of them. Ironically, the most valuable traps are non-lethal. Lethal traps generate too much heat, and non-lethal traps can be made to sweep up enemies in endless loops of money-making combos. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Each enemy intelligence agency roughly corresponds to a Cold War factionnote P.A.T.R.I.O.T. and S.A.B.R.E. are the Western Bloc (P.A.T.R.I.O.T. represents the US sphere of influence — USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Nationalist China —, while S.A.B.R.E. is the West-aligned Europe, Turkey, and the British Commonwealth), H.A.M.M.E.R. is the Eastern Bloc (USSR, Eastern Europe, and Cuba), A.N.V.I.L. is Communist China, and S.M.A.S.H. is the Non-Aligned Movement, but some of their territories would historically belong to another one. Making the geographical territories part of a single faction does cut down on the total number of regions in the game. Israel is part of S.M.A.S.H. Historically, it should be either part of S.A.B.R.E. or P.A.T.R.I.O.T., depending when the game is set.note Israel's initial ally was France, until Charles de Gaulle broke relationships as retaliation for the Israeli preventive attack which started the Six Day War. Israel then turned to the current alliance with the USA Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, and Finland are part of S.A.B.R.E., but they were neutral and should belong to S.M.A.S.H. India and Pakistan are part of S.A.B.R.E., despite the game being set more than a decade after the end of the British Raj. They were neutral during the Cold War. Mexico is a territory of P.A.T.R.I.O.T. while it was neutral during the Cold War. Iran is part of H.A.M.M.E.R. while pre-Islamic Revolution Iran historically was aligned with the Western Bloc and should be either S.A.B.R.E. or P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Ditto for Thailand and the Philippines belonging to A.N.V.I.L. Yugoslavia is part of H.A.M.M.E.R. instead of S.M.A.S.H. Yugoslavia is one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement. Ditto for Indonesia belonging to A.N.V.I.L. North Korea was aligned with neither USSR nor China, and so should technically be a S.M.A.S.H. member instead of an A.N.V.I.L. one. Vietnam is part of A.N.V.I.L. An accurate representation of Vietnam during the 60' would be split between H.A.M.M.E.R. and P.A.T.R.I.O.T. (Soviet-backed North, US-backed South). Antarctica entirely belongs to S.M.A.S.H. An accurate representation would be split between S.A.B.R.E. (Norway, United Kingdom, France, Australia, New Zealand) and S.M.A.S.H. (Argentina, Chile) controlled slices | |

One trap is literally a Big Red Button in the middle of a bullseye with arrows pointing at it, saying "DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON" in lights. Sadly, it is a self-contained trap, and cannot be used as the trigger for other traps. | |

We Have Reserves: Your minions are very disposable. And you will go through them. A lot. So disposable, in fact, that the basic construction worker minions are free, only costing money if you increase the recruitment rate (up to one every second). Not to mention the game actually rewards you for summarily executing or torturing your minions in front of others. | |

Villainous Friendship: Whenever your Henchmen aren't doing anything, they can usually be found in pairs, taking smoke breaks together and chatting in out of the way corners. If one of them is unpaired, one of the regular minions will talk with them instead. Henchmen and minions will also wave to one another as they pass in the halls. | |

The freezer's intended use is to store body bags, so accordingly it disables their loyalty-sapping aura. In fact, it disables all auras, so it can also be used for storing the dismantled totem pole, which also has a cursed negative aura until you reassemble it. Likewise, using a freezer for your trap room is helpful so that your minions don't have to bother moving body bags around, not only saving time but also preventing them from having their loyalty drained or tripping the traps themselves. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: You get virtually no in-game information on how to defeat John Steele. You can't actually defeat him permanently, but if you want him to be defeated during the victory cutscenes, you need to have him locked in a holding cell when you fire your super weapon in order to see his demise. Likewise, the game doesn't tell you why your minions are panicking or why enemy agents are suddenly able to teleport into your base... it's because your base has an area that is completely enclosed, but an annoying thing about this is that the game is equally unclear when a location is enclosed. That dead-end corridor where you put two vases? It's actually inaccessible even though it looks like there's plenty of room to squeeze through. The training room where you put some dojo mats together? Also inaccessible, because minions can't walk across the mat. You need to send your minions out into the world to plot in order to discover the Acts of Infamy that will progress the story. Of course it's unrealistic to expect the game to just tell you where everything is so you can breeze through the plot in an hour, but given there are twenty regions in the game it can take a painfully long time to find that one Act you need. Plus, deciding who to send to plot is a Morton's Fork in and of itself: If you send basic construction workers you don't have to worry too much if one of them dies, but it takes even more time; if you send your science minions you can potentially cut time down, but if one of them dies it's a process to train another minion again. Research involves being presented with an object and selecting up to three pieces of lab equipment out of eight to experiment on to find new stuff. To put it another way, it means choosing between 8C3, or a whopping 336 possibilities of which only one combination is the correct one. For a single item. The game does have some mercy where you can pay to find out which ones aren't the right ones, but given it costs thousands it'll chew through your budget in no time unless you use it sparingly. The game is also very shut-mouth about what new rooms and objects will become available as you progress through the game. For a first-time player it usually results in building a base as tight as possible for efficiency, only to later unlock an object that's too big to place down and no room for expansion. For returning players, it means overestimating how much space they need and building a room far too big. Just finding the rogue CIA Crime Lord for Objective 2 can be a pain. The game tells you that you need to have plenty of notoriety to get in contact with him, but it doesn't tell you which region he's in. Both sub-objectives in Objective 7 feature this trope due to the log neglecting to mention some vital details: First, it tells you to capture and interrogate ambassadors from the five alliances. Unfortunately it does not state that it needs to be an interrogation that drains health, so players might repeatedly try to use an incorrect device and wonder why it's not working. Next, it tells you that you have to steal enough resources to build a rocket. You'd expect the log will update once you've got said resources, but you also need to click on the giant hole in the middle of your base before your minions will actually start construction, and there are no hints that the hole could even be interacted with. Without knowing that though, it's likely you'll be stealing dozens and dozens of crates either thinking you don't have enough or that the game is bugged. | |

Safely Secluded Science Center: The crux of the game is the creation of an underground lair hidden on a remote desert island of indeterminate location, upon which you can safely research and develop all the technologies you'll need to make a name for yourself as an international supervillain. It's not quite remote enough to keep pesky spies at bay, and you'll have to upgrade to a jungle island about halfway through the game but eventually you will be able to create the doomsday device with which you can take over the world. | |

BFG: The Mercenary minions carry immense machineguns. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. agent Dirk Masters carries two. And then Ivan turns it up to eleven and has a RAWKET LAWNCHAIR! Most players refuse to use him since he's a bit trigger happy and will set most of your base on fire. Others swap it out for a machinegun, usually Dirk's. Those that insist on using him unmodded take advantage of the fact that henchmen won't pass through level 3 or 4 doors unless specifically ordered to, and lock him in a topside shack until they need him. Sentry turrets are also very large and very shooty. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_928ca2cc | comment |
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: You can make your evil genius execute any minion at any time, and you don't need any excuse to do so. Each evil genius has their own method of execution. It also somehow restores all nearby minions' Health, Endurance, Loyalty, Smarts, and Attention to near tip-top levels, which makes executing hapless idiots a viable strategy for restoring minions' stats without them ever having to stop working. Ever. More specifically, this is done as a Dog-Kicking Establishing Character Moment by the Evil Genius at the end of the tutorial mission to the lady who has been guiding you to this point, after she says that she has committed all her other lessons to video tapes. Her desperate protests that she can still be useful are ignored as the Evil Genius gleefully chuckles an Evil Laugh after the Henchman executes her. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: You can't directly control the individual minions, instead only giving general orders and setting up security systems to alert them to intruders. This leads to hilarity. Feel free to shout "Why am I surrounded by these incompetent fools?!" at the ceiling. If a fire breaks out, the closest valet will not simply grab the nearest extinguisher and put it out. Instead, seemingly random valets all over your base will grab the extinguishers nearest them, and run to the fire, no matter how far it may be. Then, when they get there, they will put out one burning object (in a room after an explosion there can be over half a dozen objects on fire) and walk, with the extinguisher, past the other fires and put the extinguisher back. This one may be intentional: Henchmen have the clearance to open level 3 and 4 doors just like the Evil Genius, but their AI believes they don't, so they'll only actually go through one if the player specifically orders them to. This can be useful or annoying, depending on what you put high-security doors on in the first place. | |

You Call That a Wound?: Henchmen reduced to zero health by combat against regular agents will only knock them out for a period, after which they will get back up again and recover their stats. Henchmen taken out during missions will disappear for a while, then finally make their way back to your island from the wilderness. The only exception to their Contractual Boss Immunity is if they are killed by one of the Super Agents, in which case they have three lives. After losing their last life to a Super Agent, they are Killed Off for Real. | |

Dumb Muscle | |

Freaks are pretty obviously intended to be some free Dumb Muscle. However, they have numerous downsides in this department... one of which, that their Smarts cap is so low they can never avoid your traps, gives them the much better alternate purpose of being locked in a box with some trap triggers to constantly set them off. Attach those triggers to some well-placed wind traps, and any agents or tourists that wander into the wrong corridor get stuck being blown around for free combo money forever. | |

Highly-Conspicuous Uniform: Almost everyone wears brightly colored uniforms. Your neon yellow workers and the orange military minions are particularly obvious. Enemy spies and agents also come in full dress uniforms, some of them more glaring than others. Special mention goes to P.A.T.R.I.O.T.'s Burglars and S.M.A.S.H.'s Infiltrators, who get more conspicuous and less sneaky as they rise in competency. After all, you'd have to be an Exceptional thief or saboteur to execute your duties successfully while wearing a bright yellow Spy Catsuit for the former or a hot pink miniskirt and go-go boots for the latter. | |

There are few legitimate evil acts, such as you publicly executing The Orsons, a family of pop singers. Like destroying Nashville and country music, your evil genius considers that taking a break from evil. | |

Captured agents also get to keep whatever weapons they have on them, like say the Super Agent Dirk Masters who was just mowing through the base with his big M60s.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Enforced by the Super Agents, who are actually immortal. Sure, you can tell your minions to shoot the Super Agent but they will just fall unconscious for a while before causing more trouble. The only way to get rid of them permanently is to research their Achilles' Heel, exploit it, and make them retire in shame. The most extreme example is the James Bond lookalike, John Steele. He can only be killed completely off if he is kept imprisoned until the very end of the game whereupon you strap him to the rocket boosting your Kill Sat into space! You can, however, just shoot the regular agents and soldiers you capture, though why you'd do that when you went to all the trouble to capture them first is a good question. Usually it boils down to simple convenience. The main reason to not just shoot them is because being around bodybags causes the loyalty of minions to drop, so its usually more efficient to have them executed in jail and then take them 10 feet away to the freezer, so that you don't make them carry it all through your base lowering everyone's loyalty. | |

Cool and Unusual Punishment: Most of the ways you torture prisoners: The Interrogation Chair has you spin around on the chair, crash cymbals on their head and force them to watch a Mook do Michael Jackson's dance moves. The Centrifuge and Mess Hall Mixer put emphasis on the spinning part. The Bookcases are Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom that rapidly slam the unfortunate agent. The Greenhouse and Impact Stress Analyzer subject them to Metronomic Man Mashing. The Laser and Long Range Shooting Stall essentially have the agent facing a firing squad. The Brainiac Machine blinds them with Epileptic Flashing Lights. The Environment Chamber and Brain Washer have the agent (their brain in the case of the latter) tossed around like a ragdoll. T.I.M. the AI Supercomputer alternates between Breaking Speech and Tickle Torture. | |

Evil Gloating: Gloating at prisoners increases your Notoriety. The Evil Genius avatar will also automatically go over to gloat at a Super Agent being tortured. However, in true adherence to the spirit of the trope, gloating at any captive gives a chance for them to break out immediately, Super Agents especially. John Steele will always escape if he is gloated at. | |

Spoiled Brat: Alexis' background. But she's not your standard spoiled brat, oh no. When she inherited her father's media empire and immense fortune, she could live a nice life in eternal luxury without raising a finger again. Instead, she worked her inheritance such that their combined value quadrupled, and she became an internationally famous and well-loved actress/celebrity/socialite while at it. But even these were not enough, Alexis wanted more. She wanted the world. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Some of the traps are quite obvious. Bonus points for using stolen loot as bait for them. Setting a door to security level four draws in agents like bees to honey - even when the door is guarded by two giant henchmen. And has absolutely nothing of value behind it. Any agent who falls for this is automatically tagged for capture — this is the only time your minions will take that level of initiative. One trap is literally a Big Red Button in the middle of a bullseye with arrows pointing at it, saying "DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON" in lights. Sadly, it is a self-contained trap, and cannot be used as the trigger for other traps. | |

Enforced by the Super Agents, who are actually immortal. Sure, you can tell your minions to shoot the Super Agent but they will just fall unconscious for a while before causing more trouble.

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Alexis totes a very long, very evil looking holder for her omnipresent cigarette. Playboy minions have a less comically over-sized but no less sinister holder as part of their gear, and you'll constantly be seeing minions and henchmen smoking around the base while on break. Basically it's the Sixties, and everyone smokes. Minions can exploit this universal smoking habit to torment agents they're interrogating. They'll taunt them with a nicotine fix, taking long and indulgent drags while the agent pleads and strains to get even a single puff. | |

Reverse Psychology | |
| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_f7588306 | comment |
Reverse Psychology: Some enemy agents can be deterred from going somewhere, simply by putting a door with the lowest security setting (i.e. "Anyone can enter") in front of it. They clearly are thinking "Well, if anyone can enter, there can't be anything that important on the other side". Obviously, this can be used against them to keep them out of more vital areas. The reverse is also true, as any door with the higher security settings (3 to 4) draws almost every agent nearby to spend all their time trying to get through this obviously important door... even if there's nothing behind said door. | |

| Evil Genius (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: The traps are just asking for it. The game even rewards you for impressive combos. Sticking fat people into the mixer. Tossing female agents into the greenhouse. The Bookcase's sole purpose is hilarious cartoony smashing. You can even imprison, torture, and execute your own minions at a whim. Not to mention that the Super Agents can't die unless you use their own weakness on them, meaning you can torture your most hated enemy endlessly. Come on, who hasn't put Jet Chan through a few rounds with the laser as revenge for all the times he's blown up part of your base? One of the most extremely cruel examples is the way you can finish off Frostonova. You cut up her teddy bear right in front of her, breaking the surprisingly fragile woman permanently. You Bastard!. When defeating Jet Chan by drugging him and having one of your crew besting him in the dojo, if you don't have them available, you can have him be defeated by one of the basic construction worker minions rather than a proper martial artist. The ultimate humiliation. | |
