The criminal version of the “Evil Overlord”. Standing out from the terrorists, drug smugglers, murderers, gangsters, evil dictators, and other petty criminals with their short-term, narrow goals is the diabolical mastermind. The Diabolical Mastermind is a brilliant strategist with a sophisticated, long-range plan for their domination. Generally found sitting in an “expensive leather chair” with one hand idly tapping a “Trap Door” button and the other stroking his pet cat (or dog), the diabolical mastermind is always at the top of whatever criminal food chain the hero — usually a detective or spy — ends up climbing. He differs from the Evil Overlord in that he (usually) has no sovereign territory or political power of his own, although his criminal resources sometimes rival those of a developed nation. Because of this, he (and it is almost always a he) is generally protected by dozens of “Mooks” and sometimes “The Dragon”. As such, he is very rarely made to pay for his crimes… ~ Diabolical Mastermind – TV Tropes
