Mhhhh, Hopper's one of them cases where he has a small, questionable quality that might keep him from the trope. He can qualify on here and ATT since those sites have lower standards than TV Tropes but I feel when it comes down to it, he's not quite a 100% keep.

I wouldn't call that a mitigating quality for Syndrome. Lying to the babysitter rather than killing her was simply the more convenient option, had the babysitter refused to give him Jack-Jack than he probably would have killed her anyway.
