-->'''Five:''' Imagine Franchise/{{Batman}}, [[DeadpanSnarker then aim... lower.]]

** Ironically, once the truth about him comes out, he also deconstructs the concept of the SuperpowerLottery and StoryBreakerPower. Viktor is by far the most powerful of the siblings, so you would expect him to be TheAce of the team like Franchise/{{Superman}}, right? Except for that to happen, he would have needed to have a loving upbringing and a strong sense of right and wrong instilled into him. Instead, what he got was a [[BlueAndOrangeMorality man with only a tenuous grasp on human morality]] who couldn't offer either and instead decided that he is a [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt threat to the world]] and must be [[BroughtDownToNormal suppressed]]. [[SelfFulfillingProphecy That turned out well]].

* TheHeart: By the third season. During the initial confrontation with the Sparrows, he repeatedly tries to keep the peace, even during combat. He initiates two meetings with the Sparrows And while his attempts to help [[spoiler:Harlan]] pisses off the siblings, his motives are for the latter's well-being. And while his apology to [[spoiler:Allison was at the request of Luther, he continually attempts to reconcile with her, despite Allison having killed Harlan and even after knowing that she had made a deal with Sir Reginald which cost two of their brothers their lives.]] He displays leadership skills throughout the season. Even Marcus assumes that he is the Umbrellas' Number One.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: In Season 1, he goes from the meek and powerless TeamNormal to the single deadliest member of the Academy and the cause of the apocalypse.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During the flashback to Pogo's resignation, the arrogant and uncaring Sparrow Academy look emotionally destroyed; Alphonso, Sloane, and Jayme are crying, Fei appears downcast, and even Marcus looks as if he's making a serious effort to hold back the tears. In fact, the only member of the team who doesn't seem in anyway way upset is Ben.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Not to the same extreme as Five, but Viktor looks a decade younger than his siblings despite all sharing the same birthday. This is natural with being played by Creator/ElliotPage, who has commented on his ability to pass for a teenager even into his 30s.

* BerserkButton:
** He starts to have a breakdown when he realizes that Leonard left the cabin without telling him.
** He accidentally slashes Allison's throat after she admits to him that their father made her rumor him to think that he's ordinary.
** A flashback reveals that as a little child, he killed three nannies for trying to get him to eat his oatmeal. He also tried unsuccessfully to kill Robot!Grace.
** He intentionally kills Leonard when Leonard insults him while slapping the journal cover.
** Finally, he gets DrunkWithPower after Luther locks him in the bunker.
