If he shape-shifted into a snake, then it is valid and should be listed.

The Devil too is cruel for the sake of being cruel, does it to feel superior, and is despicable. The only one of those pieces of criteria he does not fit is small-scale, and I do not believe that bullies and jerks have to be small scale. So those categories (along with the snakes one) are valid. That, and MagmaDragoon has already agreed with me on this, so you really should re-add them.

Palpatine is not a wrongly listed sociopath. He has countless sociopathic traits and tendencies and I'm fairly certain Lucas himself regards him as one. Ergo, he too is one.

Also, a sociopath can understand emotions on an intellectual level, just not feel them. So Palpatine's using others feelings against them proves nothing. He is a sociopath and frankly so is the Devil going with the usual depictions.
