| − | On first impression [[Doctor Schadenfreude]] appears to be slightly nuts, but is actually merely awkward and socially inept. Although highly intelligent and well trained, he tends to rely too much on the established procedures, rather than his own instincts and judgement. He has a tendency to make small, ill-judged jokes when nervous, which all together gives him the air of a classic comic relief character. | + | On first impression Doctor Schadenfreude appears to be slightly nuts, but is actually merely awkward and socially inept.
