He tries to stand up for himself, but he never gets his way until he slips his brainwashing devices onto his victims, granting him the power he can’t seem to grasp in his normal life. Even though the latter is actually quite nice to him, Mad Hatter sees any entry into his personal work space as an intrusion. Jervis feels controlled by others, notably his angry boss Marcia, and the owner of his company, Bruce Wayne. Inferior Function: (Te) Extraverted Thinking, “The Workshop” Hatter’s reality kind of sucks, especially after he’s caught and sent to Arkham, so it’s no wonder an INFP like himself would hold on to his fantasies (I certainly have no idea how that feels, nope).

When he creates a literal dream world for Batman to live in-where his parents are alive, and he’s engaged to Selina Kyle-Mad Hatter can’t understand why Batman wouldn’t want to stay there rather than the ugly, sad Gotham he really lives in. Wonderland is very real to him, in a way that suggests he read the books at a young age and kept them in his memory like one might a real place (don’t know any of us nerds who do that, no sir). Mad Hatter’s lack of proper Sensing keeps him lost in his fantasy world, taking the everyday details around him and translating them through the filter of the stories he loves. Tertiary Function: (Si) Introverted Sensing, “The Study” His broken morals led him to nefarious purposes, but he’s still brilliant.

I mean, the guy did examine the human brain enough to understand how to control it. Jervis’ Ne disconnects him from reality, but it also drives his healthy curiosity. Batman and everyone else he meets become characters in the story, too-usually bad guys. It’s eerily convenient that the pretty girl working in his office is a blonde named Alice, so of course he’s going to make that connection. Mad Hatter’s active imagination leads him to relate everything in the real world to his favorite fantasy tale, Alice in Wonderland. (And honestly, it could be an example of inferior Fe in an unhealthy INTP, too whenever an Introverted Judging dominant has to face the fact that not everyone is following along with the plans in our head, we’re prone to lose it.)Īuxiliary Function: (Ne) Extraverted Intuition, “The Hiking Trails” That’s Fi at its most sick-wanting only its only own desires and unable to comprehend the needs of others. On the witness stand in “Trial,” Mad Hatter blurts out in a fit of rage that he would have killed Alice rather than let her simply choose for herself. But when she turns him down in favor of said creep, he loses all empathy for her. He can be quite gallant and charming with her, but once their romance doesn’t pan out, he grows resentful and bitter.Īt first, Jervis draws a careful moral line against using his mind-control devices on Alice, not wanting to be the kind of man who would harm her-not like the creep she’s been dating. He feels special and awkward, and believes that he sees the same thing in Alice, his co-worker. Jervis loves him some Alice in Wonderland, and would rather live there than in the real outside world. He just turns to mind-control experiments rather than emo poetry to express his angst. He’s deeply romantic, keeps a rich inner fantasy life, and is driven by passion and the need to connect with another kindred outsider like himself. However, he’s clearly running on dominant Fi, not Ti. Mad Hatter fits the Mad Scientist tropes of many an INTP (like a couple of Batman’s other villains do), being that he’s working on electronic chips to control people’s brains. It’s an INFP villain, everyone! And true to form, when an INFP goes villainous, we load up the crazy truck and take it for a ride.ĭominant Function: (Fi) Introverted Feeling, “The Deep Well”

Now, a long while later, after I’ve had the time to learn my cognitive functions and give the villains a proper analysis, I’ve discovered that…oh, look at that. Because Mad Hatter was obsessed with his fantasies, I plopped him in the “Dreamer” spot of the INFP.

When I first started this blog, I made a chart of the Batman Villains and slotted one into each of the 16 Personality Types. INFP – the Healer, the Dreamer, the Clarifier
