The cannot be said for York "The Greedy"-the personification of Vegapunk's greedy side and the mastermind behind all the strange events at Egghead. However, Lilith is more the Loveable Rogue type than an actual evil person. One of these Satellites is Lilith "The Evil" who was based on Vegapunk's "evil" side. However, Vegapunk also created 6 "Satellite" versions of himself- Artificial Humans who are based on an aspect of his own personality. Once Vegapunk is finally revealed, he actually turns out to be quite benevolent, being a friendly old man who just wants to make the world a better place through the power of science.During the Time Skip, Franky, having burned off all of his skin, rebuilds his body using Vegapunk's technology. For all this, events around the Time Skip have alluded to Vegapunk being morally ambiguous, and truly any statement of him being "evil" before then was an assumption. Apparently, he's an Omnidisciplinary Scientist, having created a cyborg with Devil fruit powers (Kuma), multiple copies of said cyborg armed with laser weaponry (the Pacifista), catalogued all known devil fruits, revolutionized the power of the sea as uses of Seastone, and figured out a way for inanimate objects to "eat" Devil fruits. He is one of the most speculated-upon characters in the manga. One Piece makes occasional mention of the World Government's top scientist, Dr.He's extremely smart, intellectual, and a sociopathic Serial Killer. Not to be confused with the Diabolical Mastermind simulation game Evil Genius, nor the books by Catherine Jinks, which involve an Academy of Evil aimed at creating Evil Geniuses, or the Netflix series about one of the most infamous bank heists in history. The Evil Genius's personality and physical description can make them overlap with any trope on the Intelligence Tropes index. If in a team, either a Big Bad Duumvirate or a Quirky Miniboss Squad, they fit the role of The Smart Guy. On the other side of the coin, when much lower in the hierarchy, their effectiveness decreases accordingly. And, if they do reunite other traits to complement their intelligence, then you have a Chessmaster, a Manipulative Bastard, or a Diabolical Mastermind. If they are the Big Bad, then it's usually a case of Weak Boss, Strong Underlings or Non-Action Big Bad. Which also makes them a manifestation of Brains Versus Brawn. Anyway, when the Evil Genius's more developed trait is intelligence, it's not rare for them to realize being The Creon is a lot more secure and less stressful than being the top dog. Their chances of being Badass Bookworms are likewise fairly low but not entirely rare. It must be noted this doesn't always translate into political savviness, business acumen, or leadership abilities which rely more on street smarts, social skills, or charisma. Therefore making them the Science Hero's Evil Counterpart. No matter what, this villain's forte is their intellect. You can bet they are a planner of some sort, a specialist in a particular field, a fixer of some variety, or a combination of the above. Wanna build a Wave-Motion Gun? Ship nukes to a country? Resurrect/repair the Lost Super Weapon? Get a Powered Armor? Don't know how to use a MacGuffin? The Evil Genius is your answer. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, this fellow's plans are probably not so much because the Evil Genius is likely to be the brains behind the Evil Plan. An Evil Genius is a villainous archetype that adds generous helpings of Intelligence to a base of misdeeds and objectionable morals.
