Re: [Basic] Reputations for bad people
Frequently such a person's Reputation won't even apply to a person beyond their power because the Duke or whoever isn't a member of the affected group. Usually an abusive police chief would have a negative with "Lower class of Snootyville" or "People of Miseryville". He may have a separate positive reputation with "Upperclass of Snootyville". If the Duke actually lives in Miseryville and is included then his reaction to the cop depends on whether he's personally a Bully. If he isn't then he will probably react at a minus because he's been getting all these complaints and doesn't like it.

As for Spidey, that's because he doesn't have a negative rep, he has an Enemy (J. Jonah Jameson) who uses his media network to smear Spidey's good name, instead of downing a mask and tights and trying to fight the webslinger mano e mano. |

Now I might consider "potential enemies/victims" as a large group of people for the purposes of a positive Reputation: too dangerous to cross. |

Re: [Basic] Reputations for bad people
How about:
OPH: Tyrant Reputation(feared). Rank or Social Status or other advantage(whatever position allows him to be feared).

Re: [Basic] Reputations for bad people
That is not actually a good reason not to be afraid of them or to be less afraid than you be of the famous philanthropist.

Re: [Basic] Reputations for bad people
That only works if you have some reason to be allied with him.
Suppose you are a Jew in Russia in 1942. You have no reason to love Stalin. Perhaps you have relations that just escaped the Purge. Perhaps you yourself were just hauled out of the Gulag and plopped atop a Red Army command. But you are willing to play ball, not because you love Stalin but because you dislike the possibility of Hitler winning worse.
