Dimwits

Dimwits, or Idiots, are villains who rarely (if ever) use their heads. In other words, these villains are seen as dumb and simple-minded, and are very likely to foil their own plans or other villains' plans and can even cause them to ruin themselves; this is usually due to poor planning, stupidity, ineptitude, or bumbling. Furthermore, some of these villains can be viewed as being Amoral, as they may not always be aware of their actions due to their stupidity. Most of these villains are also Incompetent because of their stupidity.

Not to be mistaken with characters who are Mentally Ill, or those with genuine learning difficulties, as there is a major difference between the two categories. They are also the polar opposite of Masterminds, who are exceptionally intelligent and resourceful characters.
