| rdfs:comment | - The Enfant Terrible is a café found on the streets of Champs-Élysées, Paris. The kitchen is run by one café chef, his assistant Raymond, and a waitress, Kristi. It is the only café to stay open following the curfew in Paris. Jaime Reyes may be found here, if JC Denton told him to stay as a spy when they escaped the UNATCO HQ, and he will give JC Gunther Hermann's Killphrase, "Laputan Machine". A family is also having dinner at the café, and apparently have a son in Majestic 12. Despite being just a café it can be noted that the Enfant Terrible also serves meals such as the Coq au Vin.
- The Enfant Terrible is an adorable child. An angel, one might say, with a cherubic face. One just wants to pick them up and hug them. Pity they're psychopaths. An Enfant Terrible knows people think they're cute, and will use that to their advantage. When one person finds out, said hero usually has a hard time convincing others, who will turn on them for even suggesting such a thing about the poor, poor child. An Enfant Terrible may be supernatural, or simply a child born without a conscience. They may also be an Evil Orphan. Not to be confused with Les Enfants Terribles.

- The Enfant Terrible is an adorable child. An angel, one might say, with a cherubic face. One just wants to pick them up and hug them. Pity they're psychopaths. An Enfant Terrible knows people think they're cute, and will use that to their advantage. When one person finds out, said hero usually has a hard time convincing others, who will turn on them for even suggesting such a thing about the poor, poor child. An Enfant Terrible may be supernatural, or simply a child born without a conscience. They may also be an Evil Orphan. A form of the Devil in Plain Sight. Might overlap with Girl Scouts Are Evil, if they do more than just sell you cookies, and with Kids Are Cruel, if the kid's behaviour also transpires in his relationship to other children. Akin to the Creepy Child, except Enfants Terribles are truly dangerous and vicious at heart, whereas a Creepy Child isn't necessarily psychotic or evil. Of course, such a character almost always plays the Wouldn't Hurt a Child and Children Are Innocent cards to get away with their actions, which almost always works -- for a while. They're unlikely to be directly killed by any heroic character in the story, but they have a habit of becoming Self-Disposing Villains. See also Corruption by a Minor, which is often this character's favourite technique to get what they want, and Undead Child for a common subtype. Often the nemesis of a Kid Hero. Compare Tyke Bomb, Little Miss Badass, Yandere, Cute Is Evil, Fetus Terrible and Cute and Psycho. Contrast with Psychopathic Manchild, where a teen-aged or already grown psycho acts like a child. Contrast Goo-Goo Godlike, in which the child is not evil, just playful and way too powerful. Not to be confused with Les Enfants Terribles. Examples of Enfant Terrible include:
