Jester, I'd like to pose a question concerning the KoC trope; exactly how do you define it, personally? I typically define it as "a villain who directly contrasts the nature of a normally lighthearted show" but it's seeming that people tend to abuse this trope where it can apply to any "dark" villain, and looking over several villains in the category I've a very vague feeling there's something I may not get about the trope in whole as there are several villains I can personally see as Knights yet can still contest the nature of.

Another small question is your handling of consistency (ex. HIM's notoriously dark role in Speed Demon which certainly did contrast the nature of the show before his inevitable decline into villain decay) and how this affects whether or not said Knight really is a Knight.
