* ArtificialLimbs: Her hands were replaced with mechanical equivalents, and for starters are much, much stronger than her previous ones. ''Twinsanity'' is the only entry to show this newly required strength: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL9hfFDNWlo&index=9 giving her uncle a hug in this deleted cutscene between the two]] shows how little effort its required to make Cortex feel ''really'' uncomfortable from the pressure alone, and earlier on in a finished cutscene, accidentally snaps his hand when they finally meet up.

* FreudianExcuse: She was once just a [[UsedToBeASweetKid sweet little girl]] who loved petting animals... until Cortex amputated her arms, replaced them with dangerous cybernetic implants, and sent her to the AcademyOfEvil, where she was conditioned to become a supervillain.



* GoneHorriblyRight: Nina became the product of Cortex's tutoring to be evil and underhanded. He turns out to be successful in the Radical Entertainment entries, so much that she actually surpassed his backstabbery and overthrown him. He was very proud of her that moment.

Added DiffLines:

* TragicVillain: Had it not been for the abuse she suffered at the hands of Cortex and Madame Amberly, Nina would likely be a normal, kindhearted little girl.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: He returns to working for Cortex in ''It's About Time'', but he admits to Crash and Coco that all of the experiments he's performing are for the purpose of betraying his boss once again.



* SkewedPriorities: In ''It's About Time'', he intends to make a potion strong enough to defeat Cortex. While the other scientists are busy planning to ''conquer the multiverse''.

to:

* {{Revenge}}: In ''Cortex Strikes Back'' and ''It's About Time'', his only motive is to get back at Cortex for taking credit for his inventions.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:At the end of ''It's About Time'', he accepts his defeat and seems content to just lay down, relax, and forget about the bandicoots for good... until Uka Uka shows up.]]


Added DiffLines:

-->'''Cortex:''' Blasted bandicoots! Must we keep going around and around like this? Tell me Crash, is this all there is, [[TrappedInVillainy forever]]?

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Despite being a MadScientist bent on world domination, Cortex's AffablyEvil personality and general [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain incompetence]] make him come across as less malicious than the abusive [[GreaterScopeVillain Aku Aku]], the vindictive [[DimensionLord Evil Twins]], or the smug jerk [[spoiler:and OmnicidalManiac]] that is [[KnightOfCerebus Dr. N. Tropy]].

* EvilLaugh: Has an evil laugh in several titles, including ''Cortex Strikes Back''.
* EvilGloating: He delights in doing this to [[spoiler:N. Tropy after he and the heroes defeat the master of time and his alternate universe counterpart in ''It's About Time'', not least of all as payback for Tropy's earlier mockery and betrayal, but Dingodile punts the two Tropys through a rift before Cortex can finish gloating.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Whether it's Clancy Brown or Lex Lang, he has a pretty deep and imposing voice (the imposing part depends on the treatment of Cortex's character).


Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsHammy: He relishes in his role as a supervillain, and thus goes out of his way to presenting himself and communicate in the most bombastic, over-the-top ways possible.

Tropy after he and the heroes defeat the master of time and his alternate universe counterpart in ''It's About Time'', not least of all as payback for Tropy's earlier mockery and betrayal, but Dingodile punts the two Tropys through a rift before Cortex can finish gloating.]]

Added DiffLines:

* LaughablyEvil: By far the goofiest of the evil scientists. His overall ineptitude and awkward, yet hammy personality make him an absolute riot despite his misdeeds.

* HumansAreBastards: They're all humans and they tend to cause the most pain in the games filled with modified animals.

Added DiffLines:

* AxCrazy: Not usually, but when he [[VillainousBreakdown gets angry]] at Crash, Cortex ''really'' starts to slide into this.

[[DistaffCounterpart An alternate dimension female counterpart]] of N. Tropy from the same AlternateUniverse as the other Tawna. She was summoned forth by the original Tropy via the Rift Generator [[spoiler:to act as Cortex's replacement after his failure to defeat Crash and Coco]].

* KnightOfCerebus: While the main N Tropy got a DarkerAndEdgier upgrade in ''It's About Time'', the alternate Tropy is ''even worse''. [[spoiler: She originates from a dimension where she successfully killed her Crash and Coco, and forced their Tawna to watch]], an element strikingly PlayedForDrama compared to the usual cartoony tone of the series. Her ominous sadism oozes in nearly every scene she is in compared to the other bombastic scientists, with only a mild tint of BlackComedy and a slapstick defeat to balance it.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Jerkass}}: His polite demeanor is paper-thin, and beneath that lies a SmugSnake who constantly belittles Cortex and views others as beneath him.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Narcissist}}: He's an arrogant, self-absorbed braggart who believes that he is superior to everyone around him. [[spoiler:This becomes even more apparent in ''It's About Time'', where he becomes [[ScrewYourself infatuated with a female version of himself]] and the two decide to completely destroy the universe and rebuild it InTheirOwnImage.]]


Added DiffLines:

* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:His ultimate plan in ''It's About Time'' is to destroy the entire universe so he and his female counterpart can rebuild it InTheirOwnImage.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheSociopath: He cares about nothing outside of his own plans and gargantuan ego, to the point that he holds zero loyalty to either Uka Uka or even Cortex, [[spoiler:and is willing to utterly destroy the multiverse without a second thought]].
