The Rick & Morty comics had one notably good part where the Jerry from the same dimension as Doofus Rick turns out to be a god among men.

>villain has a mental breakdown
Never fails.

>antagonist has a weird crush on the hero

Bonus points if the feelings are rather pure and not pervy and/or rapey, even if they're really evil.
