I know Mal is already listed as a Game Changer but I was just remembering some things about the series and think he should definetly stay on that category but I would like to give my full explaination. The thing that seperates him from the previous antagonists and makes him stand out as a dark villain for the show is that he's the first antagonist to have no redeeming qualities, sympathetic qualities, comical qualities, or be a Punch Clock Villain. The antagonists before him were trying to get ahead in the game and had sympathetic qualities, in contrast he is a sadist who hurts people just cause and even the other antagonists are disgusted by him. In most of his appearence there is dramatic music and any Evil Laughs he does are portrayed as sinister. He's also a rather dark spin on Mike's alternate personalities which was previously portrayed as a comedic quirk but was now portrayed as a serious issue that leads to the personalities performing one of the most heartwrenching sacrifices in the series. It's really telling in a show like this where no one (aside from interns) dies that they chose that for his karma. To sum it up, he's basically what Yami Marik would be if he was brought down to Mal's resources in a show like this.
