I across this interesting page on Wikipedia called “Characters With Narcissistic Personality Disorder” and I was very surprised by the characters that will included. I never thought of Patrick Bateman or Bender as having NPD before. There are some obvious ones like the Wicked Witch from Snow White and Gaston from Beauty And The Beast but are there any others.

    Rick Sanchez defined the subset of the multiverse where he is the smartest being in the universe as the “Central Finite Curve.”

    That’s pretty narcissistic.

      I wouldn’t really characterise rick as narcissistic, he is a nihilistic arsehole.

    . Captain Hero from Drawn Together, He’s hyper sensitive to criticism, obsessed with self-image and how he’s seen by others and preoccupied with fantasies of wealth and recognition. Wikipedia says he supposed to be “sociopathic” but to me he’s fits the bill for NPD more than anything else.

        The problem with analyzing Patrick Bateman is that it’s like analyzing Jason Voorhees or Mike Myers. Bateman doesn’t really have a character outside of just being a sadist.

      Why? I’ve watched a lot of Futurama and he’s outgoing and self centered but not in a narcissistic way. He just doesn’t care about social norms or what others think. He doesn’t have a high self image or need to be seen by others.
