His Good Ranking

His Heroic Deeds

• Unlike the other members of the Vicious 6, he was loyal to them and never attemped to betray them.
• Although he originally kidnaps Gru and attemps to kill him, after he save his life, Wild Knuckles turns into his mentor and both create a bond. He also befriends the Minions in the climax.
• Although he decides to give up in his revenge after the Vicious 6 destroys his house and wants to separate from Gru, Wild Knucles goes to save him when he is captured by the Vicious 6.
• After defeating the Vicious 6, he successfully saves Gru's life and the one of other hundreds of people.

Why He Doesn't Stand Out?

• He fails the admirable standards of the Despicable Me franchise because the main heroes saved thousands of people while Wild Knuckles just saved hundreds having similar resources.
• He is On & Off as he spent most of his life being a villain who commited crimes like retrieving the Zodiac Stone, killing people like Gru and the Vicious 6 (all originally) or teaching Gru to steal something of value in the Bank of Evil, as well he never shows remorse for any of this.
• He can be a jerk even during his heroic moments.
