We Used to Be Friends: With Snowball, before their experiments took place.Vitriolic Best Buds: Brain supplies all the vitriol, Pinky just thinks ( rightly, of course) they're best buds.Villain Protagonist: Could be interpreted this way. Tranquil Fury: Even when pissed off (normally at Pinky's antics), he barely even raises his voice.Noble Demon: Wants to conquer the world to make it a place of kindness, equality and happiness for all.Very similar personalities and goals to take over the world. Possibly Maximilien de Robespierre as well.One segment even had Brain mimicking the "frozen peas" take. No Celebrities Were Harmed: Orson Welles.Living Emotional Crutch: For Pinky, and it's reciprocated.He's usually a sarcastic, bitter and condescending megalomaniac but at the core, it's clear he cares dearly for Pinky and has good intentions despite his ambitious behavior. Hoist by His Own Petard: Usually fails becomes something he did boomerangs on him, such as trusting Pinky with a crucial part of the plan.Hidden Heart of Gold: He'll try to deny it (keyword being "try"), but it's been clear he's a softie underneath his megalomaniacal behavior, and cares a lot more for Pinky than he'll ever admit.Heterosexual Life Partners: With Pinky, and he's aware of it.In general, he has many lines and scruples he won't cross to the point he doesn't need Pinky to act as a Morality Pet (most of the time, anyway).In one episode, he was willing to be a mascot and put an addictive on tobacco for his world domination plans, but quickly backed out when he sees children smoking.His refusal to sell his soul for world domination in the Halloween Special.Even Evil Has Standards: Well, not particularly evil, but still:.Evil Albino/ Heroic Albino: A mixed bag.Ditzy Genius: He's undoubtedly a genius, but is severely lacking in common sense, which is his Fatal Flaw.No matter how many times he fails, he will keep trying to Take Over the World. Cry Cute: Surprisingly enough, he has this quality, and happens on occassion, but poignantly.Whoever he says this to thinks he's just joking around. Cassandra Truth: Quite often, Brain will be forthright with people that he and Pinky are lab mice scheming to take over the world.Cartoony Tail: He has a tail like a real mouse, except it is kinked in a way that it looks like stair steps.Berserk Button: While there's barely rage, there's two things he'll give priority to: saving Pinky, and stopping Snowball.Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: The Trope Namer.And he's definitely a hero in comparison to Snowball. He's constantly trying to Take Over the World, and has quite the flaws, but at the core, he's a good person and wants to change the world for the better by being in charge (this is supported by portraying real world leaders as narcissistic/incompetent/insane/mix of the three).
