* Just like almost every other character in *Despicable Me*, he is constantly played for laughs and is not taken seriously in the slightest.
* He has a tragic past, being separated from his twin brother Dru and constantly being picked on by his peers in school, which traumatized him and made him a villain, and those scenes were played for sympathy.
* He gets along with his mentor, Wild Knuckles, and the two bond after all of his henchmen left him, and even mourned him after he thought Knuckles was dead.
* He genuinely cares about the Minions and Dr. Nefario, his wife, Lucy, his brother, Dru, as well as his three adopted daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
* He redeems himself and saves Margo, Edith and Agnes from Vector. He becomes a full-on hero after that.
