Well in the older two movies released it was being just generic overall.

The comics however it's much more complicated: He is a man of his word and has some honor, tragic past of his mother being sent to hell due to her making a deal with Mephisto to save her people, dad was forced to flee with Doom due to a cruel Baron that ended up with his dad freezing to death while near or holding his son to keep him warm. That and he is well-intentioned and basically told by a Cosmic Entity that the only way to guarantee Earths safety is with him ruling it. Kinda funny considering we are supposed to route for our "heroes" but some are starting to question if they are hurting the Earth because of what the Cosmic Entity said considering it apparently could see many if not all possible outcomes. That along with most versions portayed him as Affable though at least one writer once disagreed and had him try to send Franklin Richards to Hell for personal power (most don't enjoy the version and unsure if it's canon).

And the newest movie: Haven't seen it but they apparently turned a complex well-intentioned characters into a bland and generic character.
