Lawyers. Which fictional villain would be a slam dunk to defend in court?

Robbie Rotten. I mean, his crimes mostly just aren't? Does Dr. Doom even need a legal defense?

As the ruler of his own country, does diplomatic immunity cover all of his actions? I mean,

that's how he keeps getting away with things in the comics, right? He's the legal sovereign leader of a respected modern country, so he can't be arrested for fear of

provoking a war. They did try a few times, replacing him with someone who has better legal right to

the country, but they always turn out to be crazy tyrants, as opposed to Dr. Doom, who's generally

at least a reasonable dictator. So he usually wins it back.

Provided you can put up with his egotism and restrictions, the overall standard of living seems

pretty good. The trains are almost certainly running on time. Plus, before Doom, it was a backwater

tiny Eastern European nation that changed hands every few decades to increasingly worse options.

Now it's a major global superpower with some of the most advanced technology on the planet.

Whatever your opinion on Doom personally, on some level, that must feel good.

Most of the old-school Scooby-Doo villains. They didn't really do anything other than scare

people off their private property. I mean, most of them were doing so for illegal reasons,

though, like insurance fraud or tax evasion or whatever. When I was a kid, I remember

being devastated in the movie Big Daddy when the social worker took Zach and Cody away from

Adam Sandler. But after watching it again as an adult,

although I'm still sad, I'm thinking, yeah, freaking of course they're going to take him away from

this stranger. So the social worker from Big Daddy is a layup case. Not to mention Sandler's character

literally lied to social services so his unemployed lazy butt could have a child. That guy should have been arrested.

In the same vein, Mrs. Doubtfire. Daniel couldn't hold down a job or apartment,

so of course he wasn't in a position to have joint custody. But then he literally dresses up as an old woman and deceives his entire family to have time with his kids.
