Line 40: == Literature == * In most variations of [[Robin Hood]], the Sheriff of Nottingham is The Heavy to Prince John's [[Big Bad]]. * Sauron is the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', but Saruman (and to an extent the Witch-King and the other Ringwraiths) are much more visible and involved villains, especially in the movies. ** The One Ring itself is more active and visible than Sauron. Sauron doesn't even really appear himself, ever. Gollum is more of an actual presence than the Big Bad! * In the ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' book series, Kronos is the [[Big Bad]], but Luke is The Heavy, as Kronos has no physical form {{spoiler\|until ''Battle of the Labyrinth'', when he [[Demonic Possession\|possess Luke]]}}, and can only plot and scheme. * Though Lord Voldemort is the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Harry Potter]]'', he's only The Heavy in the last book/movie, ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Deathly Hallows (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', which is the only time he has a substantial plot-spanning role. The role of The Heavy is therefore often taken by another villain, who may or may not be working for him—notably Lucius Malfoy in ''Chamber of Secrets'' and Dolores Umbridge in ''Order of the Phoenix''. ** The Full List is: {{spoiler\|Professor Quirrel}} in "''Philosopher's Stone"'', {{spoiler\|Tom Riddle}} in "''Chamber of Secrets"'', Sirius Black/ {{spoiler\|Peter Pettigrew}} in "''Prisoner Of Azkaban"'', {{spoiler\|Barty Crouch Jr.}} in "''Goblet of Fire"'', Umbridge and Lucius Malfoy again in "''Order of the Phoenix"'', and {{spoiler\|Draco Malfoy}} in ~~"Halfblood~~''Half-Blood Prince"''. * In ''[[Ship Breaker]]'', [[The Hero\|Nailer]]'s [[Archnemesis Dad\|father]], [[Combat Sadomasochist\|Richard]] [[Knife Nut\|Lopez]], a [[Drugs Are Bad\|drug-addicted]], [[The Alcoholic\|alcoholic]] ex-[[Gladiator Games\|gladiator]] is The Heavy, pursuing Nailer and [[Damsel in Distress\|Nita]] at every turn, planning to kill the former and sell the latter's organs on the black market. * Several times in ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', the most visible villain of a given book would be distinct from the [[Big Bad\|ultimate mastermind]].
