**Royal Pain**, also known as **Gwen Grayson** or **Sue Tenny**, is the main antagonist of 2005 Disney’ movie *Sky High*. She is a charmingly diabolical supercriminal who wants to flatten Sky High and remake it in her image as an academy for supervillains.

She is portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her electric voice is provided by Patrick Warburton.

## Her Qualities

### What Makes Her Entertaining?

* Not only is she a mistress of trickery and deception, but she is also well-remembered for proving that a nerdy brunette who builds exosuits can steal our hearts, doing it all with ease, flourish, and great fervor. But it's not the only reason the girl is so memorable—she epitomizes charm and is always engaging in her interactions with practically everybody, ultimately winning affection not only from the real audience but pretty much anyone remotely necessary to enable her conquest.
* She is very fun to watch especially during her duel with Will, which several YouTubers acknowledge as a highlight of the movie.
* She cleverly pretends to be knocked out so she can make the school fall like she planned. She also sealed off every route in advance which implies she insightfully predicted that Will would come back to stop her (minus the one Magenta crawled into obviously).
* She comes extremely close to accomplishing all of her goals, only failing because Will unexpectedly develops the ability to fly and Magenta is able to chew a wire at the last second. She also laughs confidently when Warren and Layla are about to team up on her as Layla says she'll see if she's right that Will was her enemies' only hope, which technically is completely true since there's no plants nearby for Layla to utilize and there's absolutely no guarantee Warren could have out-dueled her (and as Magenta acknowledges, everyone else is either a sidekick or a baby) going to show how hard she is to defeat.
* She patiently grew up for eighteen-ish years all so she could have another attempt at world domination, exhibiting true dedication. She also has zero hang-ups about accepting her low morality and openly proclaiming herself to be a supervillain.
* The music when she monologues and proceeds to duel with Will is epic and iconic to listen to.
* The best thing about Royal Pain is how hilarious she is. Not only did Mary Elizabeth Winstead gave us a delightfully hammy performance, but she has some hilarious slapstick moments with her sidekick Stitches, lashing out at him whenever he misbehaves or says something stupid.

### What Makes Her Detestable?

* She is obviously an irredeemable psychopath (to the point that the Commander calls her out in it in disbelief) and is unbelievably petty and sadistic. The gal literally wants to flatten Sky High because she was put as a sidekick instead of a hero.
* Her entire goal is to enforce her malignant belief that people should all be villains like her.
* She tries to flatten Sky High along with dozens of innocent civilians who live directly below the school, one being named Chester.
* She is extremely rude to Layla as she's the one person who's not so easily taken in by her phenomenal charm.
