User blog:JakeTheSnake5347/Pathetic Pinhead proposal - Zack Powers

I think this and another one will be my only proposals on this wiki, as I can't really think of any other solid candidates. Believe it or not, this guy's pretty detestable for a sitcom villain.

What's the work?
The George Lopez Show was an ABC sitcom that ran for six seasons from 2002 to 2007. It follows the titular protagonist and his family (wife, son, daughter, mother, father-in-law, best friend, niece) in Los Angeles, involving adult themes like parental abandonment, death, underage sex, etc.

Who's Zack and what does he do?
Zack is the troublesome teen son of George's boss, Mel Powers. After being kicked out of school, his dad made him work at his factory, which he trashes out of pure spite. Becoming enraptured with George's daughter Carmen, he manipulates her into running away with him to San Francisco in a failed attempt to have sex with her, after which he abandons her and then finally faces comeuppance when Benny (George's mother) beats him up with a wrench.

Immorality
Almost every character in the show has a heart of gold, some more hidden than others. Zack though? He's just an all-around unpleasant kid. He was kicked out of school for stealing a car, punching out a teacher, and knocking up the principal's daughter. Vandalizing the factory nearly gets Benny fired, and his response to George when he warns him to stay away from his daughter ("I think it'll be over when Carmen gets outta bed to make me a sandwich") is borderline sadistic.

Cowardice
He shows cowardice on two separate occasions. First, after telling George he'll ditch Carmen after screwing her, he immediately bolts out of the area as Ernie holds the former back from kicking his ass. Second, after returning home from San Francisco without Carmen, he gets easily startled by George's threats of beating him into a coma...while he's locked in a cage.

Stupidity/Incompetence
Oh, it's definitely there. He mistakes a headband for a tube top and a shoelace for a thong, telling Carmen to put them on. George even calls him incompetent in-universe.

Lack of Charisma
The only reason Carmen falls for him is because she has serious self-esteem issues and is desperate for a partner, apart from that everybody in-universe either distrusts or outright hates him. Even Carmen herself realizes what a scumbag he is after he fails to seduce her.

Hateability
It's mentioned in passing that he has a negligent father and a bitter alcoholic mother, giving him a Freudian Excuse. However, George calls out how weak the excuse is, since he had the exact same type of parents and still didn't turn out half as bad.

He has one comedic moment, and that's when George talks to Carmen about her "boyfriend" Noah being in the closet and he nearly gives away his hiding spot to confront George like a man...but then once he realizes that "in the closet" means secretly gay and he's not talking about Zack, he quickly goes back into hiding.

Apart from that, there's nothing likeable about Zack at all. Heck, he nearly destroys Carmen's relationship with her entire family.

Final Verdict
Your choice, but I think he's an easy yes.
