Lord Betrayus

Lord Betrayus "Sneakerous" Spheros (also simply known as Betrayus), or better known as Lord Betrayus, is the main antagonist of the video game Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures and its sequel, as well as the main antagonist of the animated TV series, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. He is the arch-nemesis of Pac-Man.

Why He Intentionally Sucks

 * 1) Even though he is cocky, cunning, deceptive, and villainous, he can be quite empty-headed at times and he is way too goofy to be a serious threat, even more so than Dr. Eggman/Robotnik from both Sonic Boom and Sonic Underground, in a rather annoying way. His failures typically have him look pathetic in a predictably embarrassing way.
 * 2) * He often blames others for whatever misfortune happens to him despite it usually being himself who caused it.
 * 3) Not only is he a generic and incredibly lame villain that rips off Mezmeron from the 1982 Pac-Man TV series, but he is also a complete manchild and a total crybaby as well.
 * 4) * An example of his moments with whining was how he never got over losing to Spheria at a pac-pong tournament years ago as shown in the episode "Pac-Pong Fever" and was constantly saying how she cheated, which was something he held a grudge on for years.
 * 5) He is also very cowardly, despicable, and pusillanimous, letting others do the dirty work on his behalf. As well as very childish, irresponsible, and aggravated, where he tends to throw tantrums whenever things do not go his way and the fact that he cannot sleep without his stuffed toy makes him pretty cringe-worthy for an ineffectual villain.
 * 6) He suffers from Flanderization, where he went from being a decent antagonist with his moments of comic relief in the very first episode, and later has slowly become more of an extremely childish, bossy, idiotic, and whiny bungler who never succeeds at anything.
 * 7) The worst part about his Flanderization is that he feels more or less like a very mediocre version of Dr. Ivo Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong Country TV series, and King Koopa from both The Super Mario Bros Super Show & The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3; three examples of villains that are genuinely funny with their cartoonishly evil personas 20 to 24 years prior to Betrayus. And while he can be amusing sometimes, Betrayus is like taking that ideal of comedic villains to a pitifully bad degree that is rather irritating than funny.
 * 8) His voice is passable at best and insanely grating at worst. The biggest offenders are his whiny tone of voice, his yelling, and his crying/wailing.
 * 9) Despite his very name being Lord Betrayus, he barely betrays anybody that trusts him. Sure he is a self-centered, manipulative, and egotistical sociopath who wants nothing but to rule Pac-World and is often mean to characters that are loyal to him such as Butt-ler. Yet he often doesn't help his enemies in the slightest, he keeps secrets about his feelings to himself and his henchmen (and sometimes attempting to guilt-trip everyone about his brother Stratos), and lastly, he generally relies on his typically bumbling minions to do the dirty work of defeating Pac-Man for him since Betrayus is way too incompetent to do it himself. As a matter of fact, he has shown to be betrayed by other pac-people in his past like his mother (who gave him the name Betrayus) and the Ghost Gang helps Pac-Man a lot of the time, not to mention his minions constantly screwing up to defeat Pac-Man. So his name is rather contradictory than anything.
 * 10) He is also somewhat of a hypocrite on occasion, two moments of this was asking Dr. Buttocks why people are so cruel when Betrayus himself mistreats everyone around him, and when he labels each and everyone in the Netherworld as a complete klutz (who also considers Dr. Buttocks as the most inept, pathetic and worthless minions around) when Betrayus himself is completely ineffectual at defeating Pac-Man.
 * 11) Aside from being a childish and insecure coward of a villain, he often belittles ghosts that continue to serve him and make them do whatever he wants them to do, no matter how stupid it is.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does have his moments here and there with being funny or entertaining. Mainly because of how over-the-top he is.
 * 2) * He was a decent comic-relief antagonist in the very first episode "The Adventure Begins", he was sadly flanderized as the series progresses.
 * 3) The following quotes:
 * 4) *  "I AM THE BEST! ME! ME! IS THAT CLEAR? MMEE!!!"
 * 5) *"Oh, I see! My dear sweet mother is visiting her favorite son Stratos and not ME! How can people be so cruel?" 
 * 6) While his voice can be quite annoying at times, at least his voice actor Samuel Vincent did a decent job at voicing him and tried his best to have fun voicing Betrayus with his Peter Zimmerman impression.
 * 7) His ghost design and his Pac-Worlder design are both appealing and cool-looking.
 * 8) * Some of his theme songs are pretty catchy.
 * 9) There are fans who support this character, much to the point that fans of the show (or people who don't like the show) consider him to be the best part of the show.
 * 10) Since he is the main antagonist of the show, it's clear that he was MEANT to be hated due to how mean and despicable he is.
