User blog comment:Godzillavkk/PE proposal: Arcturus Mengsk/@comment-31330278-20191219093856

This man put the hell in "hell yeah". His tyranny, complete disregard to anything other than his own hide (including trying to kill his own son), brainwashing zergs for killing millions just for rising to power, leaving perfectly able soldiers (main example would be Kerrigan) to die and be corrupted, getting mankind into a direct armed conflict with other races, creating a race of hybrids for gaining ultimate power throughout the sector (at least 3 different worlds), leading people to starvation, establishing labor camps and dehumanizing a brave man like Raynor are qualities and actions that marks Mengsk as a human Gul'dan. His infamous quote alone is an indication to this complete psychopath's mindset. There's also the fact he's worse than Amon, who's pure evil on his own right.

I forgot his formerly tragic backstory. That's interesting to hear. But all the crap he did makes his Freudian excuse inexcusable. I bet his parents are crying bullets in their grave.

I like how you compared him to Palpatine, but I was informed that in PE proposal, a character should be compared only to others from his/her setting.
