Miraculously Bad Qualities

 * 1) When it comes to parenting, he's usually a strict parent who wants Adrien to be perfect at all times for no explained reason.
 * 2) * In "Captain Hardrock", when Adrien is playing the piano for him and misses one note, he forbids Adrien from seeing his friends even though he already promised he would.
 * 3) Sometimes he's neglectful towards Adrien. He never shows up to spend time with him and even forgot his birthday, and once he remembered, he made his assistant buy him a gift.
 * 4) He kept Adrien homeschooled for years.
 * 5) In "Cat Blanc" and "Ephemeral", he tried to evilize his own son.
 * 6) He's mean to pretty much anyone, like when he didn't let Simon Grimault finish his hypnotism trick.
 * 7) He's the supervillain Hawk Moth, who turns people evil and practically brainwashes them into doing his bidding.
 * 8) He's obsessed with his dead wife, who he wants to revive using the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses.
 * 9) * If you already thought this was pathetic, just wait until you find out he wants to rewrite reality just to bring Emilie back.
 * 10) He takes his role as a villain to the extreme where he does evil laughs and doesn't care when his pawns try to kill civilians.
 * 11) Hypocrisy: He doesn't let Adrien go out since it's too dangerous, but he doesn't have any problem with Riposte trying to kill him.
 * 12) He loses in "Evolution: because, instead of saving Emilie, he fought the heroes. It's as if he just wants to beat them.
 * 13) His designs as Hawk Moth, Shadow Moth and Monarch are ugly, which is odd since he's a fashion designer.
 * 14) He abuses Nooroo by using his power for evil.
 * 15) He doesn't have any problem with Nathalie using the Peacock Miraculous for a majority of season 3, even though she might die from it.
 * 16) He's an idiot, as for some reason, he chooses to do the same thing over and over instead of techniques that were close to succeeding, such as Optigami or Catalyst.
 * 17) * He winds up akumatizing villains like Reflekta and Mr. Pigeon multiple times, but he won't bring back good villains like the Pharaoh or Kwamibuster.
 * 18) He could just akumatize himself with the power to time travel and avoid hurting anyone.
 * 19) The writers try to make him sympathetic, but they ended up making a deranged sociopath. Ironically, they think Chloe is beyond redemption.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His voice actor, Keith Silverstein, does a good job.
 * 2) He looks good as Gabriel.
 * 3) He sometimes spends time with Adrien and was even willing to quit being Hawk Moth and spend time with him.
 * 4) His schemes are sometimes good, such as Sentibubbler, Hack-San, Risk and Catalyst.
 * 5) He's a decent villain and can be taken seriously half of the time.
