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 Deserved Being Banished

 * 1) Even though he is cocky, cunning, deceptive, and villainous, he can be very empty-headed at times. He is also way too goofy to be a serious threat nor pose a credible threat, even more so than Dr. Eggman 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 Lord Betrayus himself who caused it.
 * 3) * 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.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) * An example of his moments with his childishness is when he was whining about 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. Which is pretty pitiful.
 * 6) He is also very cowardly, despicable, and pusillanimous, letting others do the dirty work on his behalf. As well as being very petulant, 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 groan-worthy for an archetypally ineffectual villain.
 * 7) He suffers from Flanderization, where he went from being a decent antagonist with his moments of comic relief since the very first episode, and he has later slowly become more of an overly childish, bossy, downright idiotic, and whiny bungler who never succeeds at anything.
 * 8) The worst part about his Flanderization is that he feels more or less like a very mediocre version of Dr. Eggman 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 video-game related villains that are genuinely funny with their cartoonishly evil personas 20 to 24 years prior to Betrayus. While he can be amusing and sympathetic sometimes, Betrayus is like taking that ideal of 'comedic villains' to a pitifully piss-poor degree that is rather irritating than funny, much to the point that it starts to wear thin.
 * 9) His voice is passable at best and very grating at worst. The biggest offenders are his whiny tone of voice, his acts of yelling, and his moments of crying/wailing.
 * 10) Despite his very name being Lord Betrayus, he doesn't even betray anybody that trusts him. Sure he is a self-centered, manipulative, and egotistical sociopath who wants nothing but to rule Pac-World for being banished and is often mean to characters that are loyal to him such as the luckless Butt-ler. Yet he never shows any real signs of betrayal like helping out his enemies or being traitorous/disloyal to his minions. 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), the iconic Ghost Gang often helps out Pac-Man a lot of the time, and Betrayus's minions constantly screwing up to defeat Pac-Man. So his name is rather contradictory than anything.
 * 11) He is somewhat of a hypocrite on occasion, two of these moments include:
 * 12) * Getting jealous over his brother, Stratos, and then asking Dr. Buttocks why people are so cruel when Betrayus himself mistreats everyone around him.
 * 13) * In the episode "The Spy Who Slimed Me", 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 fundamentally ineffectual at defeating Pac-Man.
 * 14) Aside from being a childish and insecure coward of a villain, he often belittles the ghosts that continue to serve him in trivial ways and always 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" who had a slightly sympathetic backstory, too bad he was 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 he did try his best to have fun voicing Betrayus with having a Peter Zimmerman impression.
 * 7) His ghost design and his Pac-Worlder design are both appealing and cool-looking.
 * 8) There are fans who simply support and adore 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.
 * 9) 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. (But not all villains are supposed to be hated, they can also be likable, understandable for their motives, and sometimes very funny/entertaining like for example: Doctor Doofenshmirtz, Thanos, Darth Vader, and Steppenwolf (Snyder Cut), etc.)
 * 10) He always gets his comeuppance for his sinful deeds, usually by Pacster eating him and belching out his eyeballs. So it can be argued that he isn't a Karma Houdini in the slightest.
