...he was able to take things seriously every once in a while...
...he never got squashed under his own pet leviathans at the end of a Quest season....
...he was a purist, didn't fool around with all that dirty cheaty technology stuff...
...Mogdred boomed when he spoke, Lord Fear always sounded smarmy...
...he never got beaten by anyone carrying an eye-shield (Dicken doesn't count, he went up against Malice)...
...he wasn't afraid to live in the same castle as his archenemies...
...Lord Fear kept getting beaten because he was always wasting time gloating during the final confrontation. Mogdred only gloated BEFORE the final confrontation...
...so what if Fear had henchmen? They included Sylvester Hands and Lissard, for Pete's sake...
...Fear lost five times in four seasons, Mogdred lost only two...
And the number one reason why Mogdred was better than Lord Fear is...
...Mogdred never asked an Atlantean out on a date.
