His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Even as an SFIT student, he was already very reckless and arrogant. Disregarding the fact that Professor Granville never disciplined him at all, he failed to recognize how much destruction could cause over himself and the SFIT labs if he went too far with his experiments.
- He consistently stalks Big Hero 6 and other villains so that he can find their identities and try to recruit any that would benefit towards his plans or call them stupid if they aren’t useful at all.
- Reprogrammed Noodle Burger Boy into an evil robot to make him follow his orders, thus making him responsible for every evil thing he did throughout the whole series, as well as traumatizing the manager Sara into leaving the restaurant due to it giving her too many sad memories.
- He created a robot named Trina to rob some stores and had her frame several innocent Good Luck Alley civilians as well as learn more about Hiro.
- Recruited dangerous villains such as Globby and Momakase to assist him in his plans.
- Trapped the Big Hero 6 and puzzled them with deadly traps.
- Made Go Go, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, and Fred face their worst fears while taunting Hiro with his dead brother Tadashi's hallucinations.
- Last but not least, he attempted to rebuild San Fransokyo by destroying it and its inhabitants. He goes so far that Globby decides to redeem himself thanks to this.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He had a tragic past as he suffered from the damage of his experiment failure and became molded into the villain he is now due to it.
- He suffers moral agency issues due to his damaged brain. Because of this, he is unable to differentiate between right and wrong.
- He is a well-intentioned extremist especially in his days as an SFIT student, believing that his actions would benefit others.
- He showed too much remorse for his crimes to be Near Pure Evil by removing Baymax's Obake chip and letting him turn good again and telling him that he regretted not teaming up with Hiro.
- His death and self-hatred were portrayed sympathetically due to his remorse. He let Baymax go instead of saving him, accepting his fate despite rejecting his chance of redemption.
- He also has genuine respect towards Hiro, as he was willing to make him his student, deeming him as a worthy opponent and letting Baymax return to him. Obake also showed genuine sadness when Hiro refused to team up with him in rebuilding San Fransokyo in his own image. He is also very polite towards other villains, recruiting any he sees worthy for his plans and treating them fairly well so long as they stay loyal to him.
