* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Mandark really has a hidden motive for every nice thing he does to Dee Dee and is cruel to her brother.

* AdaptationalUgliness: Mandark was pretty nerdy-looking as a kid, but Dee Dee describes him as "hideous" with an overbite and bad haircut. While he largely looks the same as in ''Ego Trip'', Wickfield does add sharp, pointy teeth in her illustrations.
