“ | A lifetime of working in a nuclear power plant has given me a healthy green glow.... and left me as impotent as a Nevada boxing commissioner. | „ |

Villains who are relatively physically weak in strength or easy to be physically defeated by heroes or other villains. Unlike Incompetent villains, Weaklings may possibly have truly evil goals that can cause massive destruction or chaos forcing heroes to face them whereas Incompetents are more likely to ruin their own plans (though the two can overlap if they are weak both physically and competently). They are the exact opposite of Brutes.
It is worth noting that Weaklings can still put up a fight against the heroes (and perhaps other villains too), especially if they have the advantage of surprise, are armed with a weapon or are up against similarly weak or weaker opponents such as children, the disabled or the elderly.
One of the best examples for a weakling is Yu Yevon who was the being controlling Sin and thus caused massive death over a thousand years, but once Tidus and Yuna faced him personally he was very easy to defeat, being nearly impossible to lose to. Another example is Mr. House; while his computer persona is vastly powerful and can hack or destroy almost any network, and is capable of invading and controlling territories with his Securiton army, his physical body is rotten and barely alive, only kept going by a life support pod which can be opened by anyone if they manage to reach it.
Note: Do not add powerful villains who only qualify as "weak" compared to even more powerful characters (e.g. Loki Laufeyson (MCU), Raditz, Zilla, Scar, and Baraka).
People who are thin or seeming weak in any way do not automatically count. It must be explicitly shown their lack of physical strength is real.
