Powell

A Powell is a person who pretends to be righteous but uses his power to bulldoze over innocent victims. He relishes in hearing the helpless beg for mercy.

Did you hear about the judge who denied that rape victim a restraining order? He is SUCH a Powell!

Powell

A Powell is a person who pretends to be virtuous while using his position of power to crush the lives of innocent people. Worse than the snotty 'Karen', a Powell operates with premeditation and malice. He often suffers from delusions of grandeur and 'gets off' on making those weaker than himself beg for mercy.

Can be used as a verb: "OMG, he totally powelled her!"

Did you hear about the judge who shamed that rape victim in court? He is such a Powell!
