When did this concept arise?

EDIT: some additional clarification below:

I'm aware that the reputation of Napoleon for being short was propaganda (and if I remember correctly a different measurement system used by the French), but I want to know if there was a belief, pre-Napoleon, that someone could display what is now commonly referred to as a "Napoleon complex". To use the definition from Dictionary.com, this would be: "the condition of being small in stature but aggressively ambitious and seeking absolute control". Did people consider this (or perhaps something similar) to be a condition or personality trait before the rise of Napoleon, or did the concept only come about after he came to power? Was his name attached to an already existent concept or was it created based on him?

EDIT 2: another way of saying it: Was the concept of a Napoleon complex created for/about Napoleon Bonaparte, or was Napoleon considered to be the archetype of a concept that predated him?
