For the record, I disagree with the theory that Heretic Gods are the opposite of their normal selves. A god of Justice doesn't become a god of Injustice per se. He becomes the God of Knight Templars. They mention that lands with Sun Heretic Gods don't become dark, they become so full of sunlight that there's droughts. Sea gods create floods, and so on.
Basically Heretic Gods have no restraint. It ties into the ego thing, yeah. They simply push their 'portfolio/concept' with no sense of moderation. Verethragna kept fighting for Victory and hoping someone'd challenge him enough, and screw any issues. Melqart was the Chief God, so because no one worshipped him, he was going to blow away the entire Mediterranean island chain. Etc.
