Honorable Villains tend to be more prone to [[Lawful Stupid]]. Both types can borrow elements from the other to make for a more complex character, such as a Corrupt Tyrant who behaves Honorable Villain because they believe that kind of behaviour better serves them personally or a Honorable Villain who behaves Corrupt Tyrant because they think selfish behaviour is what they must do, probably because their culture, religion, philosophy, or simple life circumstances dictate so. 

:;''Example(s)'': Corrupt Tyrant: A corrupt Baron with an eye for the throne. Honorable Villain: A dark knight in the service of an evil god. Corrupt Tyrant borrowing from Honorable Villain: A Barbarian Chieftain who wishes to keep his authority and not be labeled a tyrant while doing so. Honorable Villain borrowing from Corrupt Tyrant: An orphan who did what they had to in order to survive and would have ended up as a good man if they had a better upbringing.

:;''Iconic Character(s)'': For Corrupt Tyrant: Lex Luthor, Tywin Lannister (who, despite providing Honorable Villain's quote, is a Corrupt Tyrant on account of his hypocrisy on that count), Magneto for Honorable Villain, Doctor Doom for Corrupt Tyrant>Honorable Villain mix, Darth Vader for Honorable Villain>Corrupt Tyrant mix

:;''Expected Personality'': A savvy, scheming head honcho with ambitious big visions of grandeur, an iron-fisted "Dura lex, sed lex" ruthless dictator, or a smart, principled asshole (who was likely fucked over by more evil people/the uncaring establishment/the dark lord grooming his new chief minion) at best. A mustache twirling prick that's more than willing to be a hypocrite and hide behind laws and customs to get away with his own crimes at worst.
