The "fullness" of his encoding also extends to the toxic dynamics of masculinity and the need for maternal approval. His disturbing obsession with Madelyn Stillwell and later his search for a "true family" reveal a man-child trapped in a deity’s body. He embodies the paradox of the bully: he is the most powerful man on Earth, yet he is constantly wounded by the slightest perceived disrespect. This vulnerability makes him more dangerous than a cold, calculating villain. It suggests that the most significant threat to the world isn't just "evil" in the abstract, but rather a powerful person with an unquenchable thirst for love and no capacity for empathy.
