Spider Kiss/YMMV

""There are those people in this world who were born for evil. They never bring any real happiness to anyone; they can only cause misery, heartache, and trouble. The Hitlers, the Capones, the little people with a touch of rot about them. Everyone knows someone like that. But few of them have any range and power; they're limited. What if they get loose, gain status?""
 * Complete Monster: Shelly's thoughts on Stag:


 * Jerkass Woobie: As noted in Dark and Troubled Past on the main page, Stag tries to portray himself as this.
 * A more straightforward example: Asa Kemp and (especially) his wife Ruth. When they realize that Stag is going to New York City with The Colonel and Shelly, Ruth blurts out: "They're taking him away, and they're here to jew us out of our share!" This does not endear them to Shelly Morgenstern, whose father is a cantor. Still, even Shelly feels sorry for the Kemps after seeing how badly Stag treats them, despite all they did for him.
 * Moral Event Horizon: It's hard to say when Stag crosses this line, since he seems to have been born on the wrong side of it.
