Bad guys who aren’t misunderstood but aren’t bad. They occupy a niche mindspace in which they have a genuine and noble goal but their goal is mutually exclusive with the good guy’s goals (the Shadowlord from Nier Gestalt)
Then, on the flip side, bad guys who know that they’re bad and revel in it (Jack Horner from Puss in Boots)
Good guys who are good leaders. They have no superhuman abilities but their power is to bring out the best in others. They don’t beat the bad guys through sheer strength or being inspired by the power of friendship (which IMO is just the same thing), but they do so by strategically playing to people’s strengths (Senku from Dr. Stone)
