She turns around in a hurry to give an excited introduction.)DA DA DA DAAAAA!!!!Welcome toAnya's page!!I'm Anya! I'm 6, and this is where you read all thetroopsabout me! Oh, and I have a really cool secret I wanna tell you.(leans closer to whisper)I have the cooles' papa and mama in the world. Papa is a spy; he beats up bad guys and wears disguises. I started living with Papa cuz he needed my help for a super secret mission; I'm gonna help him make world peace! And Mama is an assassin! She stabs the bad guys and takes their stuff. Mama's kinda scary, but she's really nice, and she brings home lotsa cool things like cake and candy! There's also our doggy, Bond; he can see the future, and he's one of my bestest friends in the whole world!And me? I can read minds! I use it to help Papa and Mama save the world.. But.... I haven't told them I can do that yet. They don't know I know about their work either. I'm scared that... they might not wanna be with me if they knew...(Returns to a normal stance)B-But my family is the bestest in the world, and I wanna be with them forever and ever!!What else?...Oh! My favorite food is peanuts. And I really like watching Bondman on the TV; he's a super cool spy just like Papa! He's got a pistol with a silencer that goes *pew* *pew* and he rescues Princess Honey from the bad guy's castle! I also go to a BIG school where all the fancy people are. My friend Becky is in the same class as me, and so is that Scion Boy who I'm supposed to be friends with. He and I need to be friends for world peace!PapaandMamahave pages too. They're really cool, so you should look at them!This is the troop list!Bad Liar: H-huh? What do you mean? I've always been Papa's daughter!Best Friend: Becky's a friend I made at school. I don' think I liked her at first, she seemed kinda mean. But she turned out to be really nice, and I really like talking to her.Book Dumb: Papa always says I'm really clever, and he really wants me to study and do good in school. But I don't like studying, and tests are really hard, so I don' really get good grades...Catchphrase: \"Waku waku!\"/\"So cool!\"Cute Bruiser: Mama taught me how to fight after some bad guys tried to kidnap me, so now I can throw an ultimate killer punch! But I got in trouble for hitting Scion Boy... Mama said I shouldn't hit any more people.The Cutie: Heh, I'm really cute, right? Mama thinks so too, and the nice ladies at the taylor too. Papa protecs' me too because he loves me! Oh yeah, and there's Scion Boy who acts weird to me, but sometimes he seems nice I guess.Does Not Like Spam: Carrots are gross, blegh\u2026Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Oh yeah, let me introduce my friends!(runs to grab a chimera and a big penguin plushes. She starts puppeting them)\"My name is Chimera, and I'm the boss around here! Anya is my bestest agent!\"\"And I'm Penguinman, I'm from the aquarium. I'm very glad to be working with Anya!\"Happily Adopted: I'm really happy Papa decided to bring me home with him, and Mama joining means life is even cooler. I give both of them a full 100 points!Heroes Love Dogs: Papa and Mama promised to get a doggy for me when I got my stella star. I wanted a cute puppy to make Scion Boy jealous, buuuut we couldn't find one. I met Bond though, and he's prolly the best dog in the world!Living Lie Detector: I know when Papa and Mama are lying cuz of their jobs. They might be the biggest liars in the world, but they're cool liars!Mark of the Supernatural: Nobody but Anya has pink hair. I think it has to do with mytelepathy; it tells people that I'm cool and special!Telepathy: I can read minds; it kinda just happens if I think about it really hard around someone. That's how I learned Papa is a spy and Mama is an assassin. I can't read too many minds or else my head hurts. I don't want people to know cuz they might think I'm weird... But it's sometimes useful to prevent some bad potential Mamas to ever make Anya's life terrible!Terrible Artist: Papa couldn' tell I was drawing the cow from school. He looked really sad when I told him.Trademark Favorite Food: I really like peanuts! Papa and Mama give me some when I'm good. But not carrots. I don't like carrots.The Un-Smile: Mama says if someone's being rude, smiling will make me the bigger girl. But I tried it when that Scion Boy was being a jerk, and it just made him mad;Mama was wrong\u2026"} {"text": "Gyhahaha! Welcome! You're on the flashy TV Tropes page of the awesome, smart, most devilishly handsome Buggy! You may call me Captain Buggy as I'M, naturally, the star of this page! Now you, for some stupid reason, may not know this, but I am a very powerful and threatening pirate from the seriesOne Piece. I was first seen with my crew, the Buggy Pirates, rampaging through Orange Town until Straw Hat and his stupid friends came by and messed everything up! I was even sent flying away from my body (I will explain that in a bit). It really seems like luck has always been so damn sour ever since Shanks caused me to eat the Bara Bara no Mi!Oh yeah, I guess you need an explanation of THAT as well. Fine fine! I, Captain Buggy, don't mind describing more of my flashiness! Anyway, I ate \u2014 SHANKS made me eat the Bara Bara no Mi (which, for you idiots in a different region, means the Chop-Chop Fruit) which allows me to chop myself into pieces. I know, a power like thatmay sound like it sucks ass, but being a Chop Man means I'm IMMUNE to being sliced! That means any damn swordsman cannot do harm to me at all! Even Straw Hat's stupid samurai friend who is supposly the second strongest on the crew! I even kicked his ass during our first encounter! Gyahahaha! I'm awesome I know! But, there is a downside to this. Being a Devil Fruit user,I can't swimwhich SUCKS considering I was a great diver and I couldn't get that treasure that would've made me rich for a lifetime! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN SHANKS!!! I HATE HIM!! I HATE HIM!!Ahem, now I got my powers out the way, back to my life story. Don't fall asleep or I will blow you up with one of my Muggy Balls! At one point, I was captured by the damn Marines because I was tricked by some bastard into mining for him... I was stuck in Impel Down where I managed to escape because the staff didn't consider I had Devil Fruit powers! Of course they didn't! I kept my powers hidden so I could flashily plan my great escape! Idiots! Hah hah hah! But I was soon spotted and ran into Straw Hat of all people! Seriously! It seems I can never get away from that idiot! Turns out that he broke into Impel Down to save his brother Ace. I've met Ace before, nice guy and fun to hang out with, and even I felt bad he was awaiting his execution. However, I had to escape, no ifs, ands, or buts! Unfortunately for me, there were Navy ships outside keeping on guard fromWhitebeardso I wasforced to team with Straw Hat. I didn't like it one bit, but I had no other choice. Especially since that idiot had the compass to Captain John's treasure that he causally gave to me! Hah! He really is anidiotisn't he? Anywho, we fought off many guards and beasts, and we eventually met up with Mr. 3, who I've grown attached to since he wanted to break out just as much as I did! Finally, someone else with sense! He and I decided to flashily ditch Straw Hat whenever we got the chance, and we did! Stupid Straw Hat! Though, dammit! He's so caring for our well being,it's hard to not feel bad for the guy...Anyway, Mr. 3 and I (mainly me, of course) eventually came up with a flashy great idea to cause a riot to help escape Impel Down! We freed a bunch of those chumps from their cells and, get this, they worship the hell out of me now! Gyahahaha! Iamawesome, and I had plenty of expendables at my disposal! Everything was going well until freakingMagellanblocked off all exits with his poison! I got so pissed I started to curse his name! I guess you idiots want me to get straight to the point, so: thanks to my cunning (and help from Straw Hat, I guess), we were able to escape Impel Down! Everything was fine and dandy until I heard we were basically on a one-way trip to Marineford for the war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates! Dammit!However, we did have a moment to relax before we got there so I did some drinking to even myself out. Unfortunately for me, the damn Marines managed to figure out that not only was I once a member of the Roger Pirates, but also I'm in a sworn alliance with Shanks! Wait, I am NOT in an alliance with that bastard! Sure, the Impel Down escapees had a lot more respect for me then, but that was still a secret I wished was still kept one! Eventually, me and the others literally crash-landed in Marineford and, sure enough, the war was still underway. My original plan was to stay the hell low until things died down, but of course those damn escapees had to make a big deal about me wanting to take down Whitebeard! Soon, I came face-to-face with the World's Strongest Man himself! And get this...heagreedto be in an alliance with me! Gyahahaha! I'm so damn awesome that even the literal strongest pirate in the world begged me to aid him! Of course, there was no damn way I wanted to get involved in the war itself, but that doesn't mean I didn't take the time to showcase my brilliance on screen to the world! It's too bad Kuzan eventually froze me and the inmates... We got unfrozen, yeah, but damn, I thought I was going to die...And then...it happened. Ace died on the battlefield. It was a damn shame, too; I got along with that guy compared to his dumbass brother. After Ace died, I lost all the will to do anything and tried to calmly leave the battleground. Unfortunately for me, I was somehow forced to take Straw Hat and that fat fishman to safety! And now I had a pissed off admiral on my ass! I couldn't catch a damn flashy break! I was able to get Straw Hat and that fishman onto some idiot's boat, er, sub. Whatever! And THEN Shanks showed up and I gave his ass a piece of my mind! He even wanted me to give Straw Hat his, well, straw hat, but of course I refused! Like I was gonna help that bastard! But he got me... He told me he had some amazing treasure map and tricked me! GAHH!!! I HATE THAT GUY!!! However, Shanks is an old frien\u2014acquaintance, so I and the others managed to slip away from Marineford on his ship! Gyahahaha!Finally, FINALLY! After what seems like forever, I was reunited with my original crew! Damn, I missed those guys so much! And with Mr. 3 and all of those Impel Down escapees, my crew is even more badass and formidable! Why else would I be promoted toWarlord! Gyahaha! The story of the Great Captain Warlord Buggy has only begun!...WHAAAAAT!? They abolished the Warlords and every one of them myself included is wanted again!? This...isn't...good... And they're going to be after my ass since they knew I was a part of Roger's crew... CRAP!!!....SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!?! THAT IDIOT STRAW HAT TOOK DOWN KAIDO WITH THOSE TWO OTHER ROOKIE BASTARDS TOOK DOWN BIG MOM AND NOW ME AND STRAW HAT REPLACE THEM AS THE NEW YONKO?!?! What the HELL is going on with this world?! W-Well I ain't complaining! Now the world truly knows how powerful and fearsome Captain Buggy is! GYA-HAHAHAHAHA!!!!Tropes that describe me! The Great and Powerful Pirate Captain Buggy!Affably Evil: I love to steal treasure! I love to beat up those that dare oppose me! But I sure as hell do enjoy having a good time with my crew and others that don't piss me off! Like that guy Ace! Swell guy!Attention Whore: Hey! The spotlight should always go on me!Just not during a war that could end up getting me killed...Damn those crazy inmates...and I even got froze byKuzanat one point!Bad Boss: Hmph! I guess during the beginning, I was a bit harsh to my crew... But after being separated from them, I learned to treat them much better! Especially now I can divert all my hate and aggression toward Straw Hat!Berserk Button: Listen kid. If you cherish your life, do NOT make fun of my nose! The last person that did that ended up having their entire town destroyed for their troubles! Also, just seeing Straw Hat and Shanks, ESPECIALLY Shanks, is enough to make me fly into a rage just because those two made my life miserable whenever they're around!Brilliant, but Lazy: Gyahahaha! Yeah, I'm pretty damn smart aren't I? Yeah, yeah, I'd rather sit on my ass and have a good time instead of going out and trying to actually do anything active \u2014 hell,I was even told I can be a very powerful pirate if I was more active\u2014 but why bother going out of my way? I'm plenty strong as is!I even made it into the Seven Warlords because of how strong and well-known I am!Looks like sitting on your ass has its benefits after all! Gyahahaha!!!Butt-Monkey: Sigh...my entire life seemed to go well until that damn Shanks made me eat that Devil Fruit. And just when it seemed I'd gotten into an upswing of good luck, Straw Hat entered the picture! It doesn't help that it seems whenever he's around, he gets off easy while I usually end up getting my ass kicked or something! Like getting struck by lightning or caught by the damn Marines! And don't get me started on what I went through in Impel Down...Enemy Mine: Ugh...I had no choice but to team up with Straw Hat in order to break out of Impel Down. I hate to admit it, but he was my best shot of getting out of there. Plus, I could ditch his rubber ass anytime I want! Gyahaha!Ensemble Dark Horse: So, you chumps really like how cunning, clever, and pretty damn awesome Captain Buggy is huh? Ah, it seems like my popularity far exceeds even me! Gyahaha!Fearless Fool: Hey! Who are you calling a fool!? I have a good reason not to fear those damn swordsmen! They can't hurt me thanks to my powers! Though, I guess I'd better be careful around Mihawk \u2014 that World's Greatest Swordsman bastard who managed to hurt me bydeflecting one of my Muggy Balls back at me...Heart Is an Awesome Power: My Chop-Chop Fruit may not sound like it'd offer much beyond being unable to be cut, but being completely immune to slashing attacks from swords even by some dumbass calling himself the World's Greatest Swordsman is definitely a win! And, like that idiot Straw Hat, I can be creative with my powers. This even includes flying! I'm awesome! Gyahahaha!Heterosexual Life-Partners: Me and Mr. 3 bonded during the Impel Down arc thanks to our mutual dislike over Straw Hat and the fact he was the only other sane person that WANTED to escape Impel Down! Hell, we were never seen apart that much during the majority of our stay there and I even invited him to join my crew!Iron Butt Monkey: Sigh...I hate to admit but being the literal butt at everyone's jokes has saved my ass many times. How else could a guy like me survive being struck my lightning, being frozen, and even an entire war virtually unscathed? Of course, I'm smart and celver enough to avoid all of that crazy shit, but hey! Give points to how damn smart I am! Gyahaha!Laughably Evil: Laughably!? Screw you! You only like me because of all the crazy stuff that happens to me! Yes, I can be a funny guy but only when I'M the one making jokes! Not the other way around! But I guess the viewers could've use some comic relief during the seriousness of the Impel Down and Marineford arcs...Manly Tears: Hah! Real men don't cry! Though, at Roger's execution, I'll admit, I took his death hard... Gimme a break, he was the captain, for crying out loud! Not to mention, one of the few people that treated me decently... I also cried when I heard Mr. 2 stayed because he gave up his life to save us...Near-Villain Victory: I ALMOST killed Straw Hat! I was THIS CLOSE to ending that pathetic pirate's life! It was bad luck that I got struck by stupid lightning! Either Straw Hat is one damn lucky brat or fate just being mean to me! Again!No-Sell: Go ahead! Grab a sword and just try to swing it at me! You'll find it won't work on me, and I'll retort by flashily stabbingyourass instead!Obfuscating Stupidity: Heh. If you see me acting like a goofball, it's only an act to catch people off guard about my powers! That stupid swordsman on Straw Hat's crew learned that the hard way! And there was also my flashy escape from my cell in Impel Down where the staff didn't even bother to check me for Devil Fruit powers! Idiots! Gyahahaha!Only in It for the Money: Yeah, becoming King of the Pirates? Risking your life on those dangerous seas and probably getting you ass kicked by, say, some idiot wearing a straw hat? That's not me. Plundering towns and trying to get as much treasure as I can get to leave my life as a rich man? THAT'S me! Gyahahaha! Plus, why the hell do you think I would even team up with Straw Hat? He had the map to Captain John's treasure for God's sake!Psycho Knife Nut: Nothing is more satisfying than stabbing your foes and hearing them scream in pain! I love to carry about a bunch of small knives on me and using them with my Chop-Chop Fruit powers for a deadly spiked fist attack!Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red?! Red as in my nose?! You're making fun of my red nose kid?! I'LL KILL YOU!!! Huh? That's not what you meant? Well, yeah! Of course that's what you meant! I'm not an idiot like you or anything! Anyway, my flashy and awesome red to Alvida's calmer blue. Mr. 3 counts as a blue to my red as well, I guess.Papa Wolf: I'm no one's daddy, butI do consider my crew my best of friends! If anyone dares to hurt them or even try toeatthem, you'll have to answer to me! Those stupid hunterslearnedthehardway!Took a Level in Badass: Hey! I was already badass from the start! But I guess going from a guy who was one-shotted by Straw Hat to someone who nearly broke out of prison by himself definitely earned me this status! And my flashy awesome show during Marineford!Oh yeah, after two years passed, your favorite clown became a Warlord! Gyahaha! Er, before the Warlords were disbanded... Dammit...Took a Level in Kindness: Hey! I don't want to be some kind-hearted simpleton like Straw Hat is! Still, after being stranded on an island with some weirdo in a box \u2014 Gaimon, was it? \u2014 I've come to appreciate my crew more and treat them a hell lot better than I used to.Twisting the Words: What? I tend to mis-hear things? What do you mean? Wait, you said something about my nose didn't you?! DIDN'T YOU?! YOU'RE DEAD!!Vitriolic Best Buds: I am NOT \"Best Buds\" with Shanks! That bastard is the main reason why I couldn't get my treasure years ago! And screw Straw Hat, too! Me and him get along sometimes, sure, but notallthe damn time!Wake-Up Call Boss: I guess I was this for Straw Hat considering the last two villains he faced (one of them being Alvida, what are the chances?) he one-shotted with his weakest move, but had trouble with me considering I was his first opponent on his quest he faced that used Devil Fruit powers. Of course I actually had his stupid ass on the ropes for the majority of the fight, but that stupid Cat Burgler interfered, and I ended up getting blasted away from by body!And now to make my flashy grand escape! Gyahaha!"} {"text": "How amusing. After traversing through the different fragments and observing, I have come upon this website. So, to avoid becoming bored, I will enlighten you, Child of Man, about my history.Back in 1983 in a village calledHinamizawa, there was a woman who wanted to become god even if it meant destroying the village in order to validate her grandfather's research. But that day, she lost, and the cat and her friends prevailed. The cat endured hundreds of years suffering agonizing deaths until she was finally able to break free when my miserable failure manifested, performing a miracle if you so please.After that, everything became normal and painfully boring. That was until the cat's friend grew miserable when she joined her at a school. When the Child of Man returned to Hinamizawa, she found my horn and was dragged into my world where I endowed her with my power for as long as there was certainty, her wish of being with the cat would come true. But, alas, there are prices that have to be paid: not only would she have to entertain me as payment, but her powers could only be activated if she died.She was resistant to the offer at first, but after dozens of failed attempts at turning the cat's determination away, let's just say she was one of my most entertaining pawns in a long time. But then my miserable failure had to interfere with my fun, so to make the game more entertaining, she will have to demonstrate that miracles exist. If not, she would cease to be. Whatever the outcome, I am having a wonderful time.Tropes describing me:Ambiguously Related: Am I related to Featherine Augustus Aurora, or am I completely unrelated? I haven't the faintest idea myself.Arch-Enemy: I have had some hostility towards my precious \"miserable failure\" for a long time now. You could say I am the antithesis of her.The Corrupter: That Child of Man was such a wonderful source for entertainment. All I had to do was grant her some of my powers, and then I just sat back and watched the chaos ensue.Diabolus ex Machina: Oh, how amusing! So the cat had finally managed to escape her hundred-year torment? Well, that is a crying shame that I had to take that victory away from her.Evil Counterpart: I am the stark contrast of my miserable failure and I am better than her in every way. For one, I can grant the ability to retain their memories of a previous loop. But while she gave the cat powers because she reminded her of the daughter she had thousands of years ago, I gave the Child of Man her powers because I felt like it.Expy: I share the same similarities and drive to satiate boredom as acertain witchfrom another world. But whether or not I am that witch, I am not going to tell.Graceful Loser: My miserable failure did show me a miracle, and a deal's a deal.Greater-Scope Villain: While the Child of Man may be the one who's conspiring against the cat, she would be nothing without me.It Amused Me: There is no feeling so ghastly as being bored. So what way to stave it off than to turn the hand of fate?Karma Houdini: At best, my horn was sliced by my miserable failure and I became a smaller version of myself.Satanic Archetype: Well, I certainly fit the part, do I not? Granting powers to humans and opposing my miserable failure who once allowed herself to be sacrificed. I even have the horns for it.Slouch of Villainy: How else are you supposed to engage with the entertainment?The Sociopath: Who cares about morals and the fragility of life when the most important element is to be entertained?"} {"text": "Like what you see? Just to warn you,this isn't even my final form.\"I doubt I need an introduction, but just in case, I am the mighty Frieza, and yes, all the horrible stories you've heard are true.\"\u2014 According to most historical texts, this was indeed spoken by me. Of course,I don't recall ever saying such a line, but it does describe me quite aptly.(Best read inRy\u016bsei Nakao's,Chris Ayres's,Daman Mills's,Gerardo Reyero's, orLittleKuriboh's voice)Ohohohohoho!I see we have a new planet for me to conquer! You should feel lucky; letting you lowlifes live was my sole act of mercy. Besides, I may have a use for you in my army.You probably don't even know who I am. Then let me introduce myself: My name isFreeza(though some have spelled that as \"Frieza;\" I can't imagine why), and I'm quite the renowned figure among the cosmos.Tell me, have you ever heard of the Planet Vegeta?Its population was growing a little bit too strong for their own good, so I wiped them out entirely. No one even knows the planet exists anymore, and I doubt anyone will remember yours if worst comes to worst.Of course, let's not get ahead of ourselves. After all, what profit is there in a destroyed planet? You see, I run a rather successful business within the empire known as the Planet Trade. Entire worlds offered to the highest bidder, and I can personally guarantee that all indigenous sapient life will be eradicated before the ink dries. Though, back on the topic of Planet Vegeta.Unfortunately,genocide isn't always a foolproof option.A sole member of the planet's species, the Saiyans, survived. I had attempted to destroy the so-called Super Saiyan before he could even come into existence. Unfortunately, not only did I have to deal with one, but another one showed up on this planet, too! And supposedly their numbers are multiplying?! INCONCEIVABLE! Why did I ever allow those filthy apes to survive even in smaller numbers?!Ahem.It doesn't matter. Even if I died before, I've simply been revived with the Dragon Balls. And now, I assure you that when the Super Saiyan does arrive, then I shall personally eliminate them. I happen to have been training in hell for some time. This time won't be like last time.If you're looking for media portrayals of me, I foundRy\u016bsei Nakao,Chris Ayres, and the latter's understudyDaman Millsto be quite capable. Pauline Newstone andLinda Young, however, have failed to understand that I am simply not female. If you're a Latin-American Spanish-speaking person,Gerardo Reyerois the one tasked with rendering me to your language. And despite the humorous changes to my character,I've foundLittleKuribohdoes a good job for the internet audience.Sometimes I privately find myself adopting traits of his style.I can't help it if they're so amusing.Oh, what's this? So apparentlythat foolish princehas his own page! Huh, the elusive, dangerous dunceMajin Buuas well? Funny, my father once warned me never to challenge him, yet at first glance he is rather...harmless looking. How quaint. And although I have no idea who...that...black manis, he seems oddly familiarnoteI have been informed he used to be Dumplin; no wonder he seemed familiar. But don't you worry, by the time I'm done with all of them, I'll send them home crying.Like a little...bitch.noteWhatever you say, bitch.I suppose you'd like to know more about me. Very well, I'll indulge you.0% Approval Rating: Does it matter? People WILL do what I say whether they hate me or not... or they WON'T live long enough to regret their refusal. Just ask Vegeta.Abusive Parents: My father King Cold didn't treat me well. Up until that Super Saiyan, no one had ever truly hurt me but him. I wouldn't even be surprised if he tried to replace me when I was dead.The Ageless: Notice how even a ten year stint in that other dimension left not a wrinkle on my face when I went to put the monkeys and Gas in their place.Aliens Are Bastards: I make no apologies for what I've done. In fact, I'll have you know I enjoyed it.Arc Villain: A whole chapter in history is devoted to my reign on Namek and another whole chapter is dedicated to my Resurrection.Arch-Enemy: Some poor fool is always trying to claim to be one to me; I usually swat those fools with no problem. But the one who defeated me, the Super Saiyan formerly known as Kakarot... he ismyarch enemy, and I will pay him in kind. Though I guess Vegeta would come second like he always does.Ambiguous Situation: Who is my mother ordo I even have one?The galaxy has been quite curious about that.Truth be told, I don't even really know. Berryblue, my nanny, is really the only maternal influence I've known or needed.Asskicking Leads to Leadership: None have dared try to challenge my leadership of the Planet Trade given my strength, and those that tried are now no more than dust. I remind you that this was even before I had even trained a single day in my life.Ax-Crazy: It comes out... once or twice. Usually when I'm destroying a planet. Honestly, if you had that kind of power, I suppose you would, too.Back from the Dead: I actually experienced this twice. First was thanks to my minions using the Dragon Balls. Then at the end of Dragon Ball Super, I get restored again as a reward for my contribution in the Tournament of Power. I just cannot stay dead. I am eternal!Backstab Backfire: In retrospect, using the Super Saiyan's energy to try and kill him probably wasn't the smartest decision I ever made.Badass Family: My prick of a brother was just as much a problem for the Saiyan monkey, and my old man is at least near my level. And of course there's my hybrid sort-of-clone Cell, who I'll begrudgingly admit left me in the dust until I started training. As for my son...I don't want to talk about it. *Facepalm*Bad \"Bad Acting\": I'll admit, my improv when I told Broly his father had been killed by a stray blast in his fight with Goku wasn't very convincing, but the oaf was too trusting, so obviously he bought it.Bad BossInsubordination will not be tolerated. I'd rather you never get the chance to be insubordinate again.Benevolent Boss: On the other hand, if you're a good enough subordinate, I will reward you - just ask Captain Ginyu, Cheelai and Lemo.Backstab Backfire: My greatest humiliation yet, and naturally because of that accursed Saiyan Goku! He even had the nerve to warn me of my own Death Slicer about to bisect me! Then when I tried for one last shot at him, he didn't even have the courtesy to perish, instead firing back at me!Barefoot Cartoon Alien:I never wear shoes. Considering that my feet comprise of wide fingers and opposable thumbs (not unlike that of a monkey... I know), any boots that can properly fit them would make the casual stroll awkwardly painful at best... Besides, why rob myself the advantage of a kick that can hold onto the fool that challenges mestraight afterconnecting with their insolent faces?Batman Can Breathe in Space: It's how I get away with destroying planets without me being on them.Berserk Button:GOKU! THAT SIMIAN BASTARD!Well, anyone who'ssomehowmore powerful than I am,especiallywhenVegetaof all peopleapparently managed to become this. I willNOTallow such a thing to exist!Beware the Superman: I am a glorious specimen of power, so why should I not exercise my absolute dominance?Big BadOh, my yes. Without me, the entire Dragon Ball franchise wouldn't be possible if I hadn't destroyed Planet Vegeta. I was the villain of the Namek saga in Z and The Resurrection of F Saga in Super. In a sense, I suppose you owe me your thanks.Disc-One Final Boss: Apparently Cell was the major enemy when the second Super Saiyan showed up, not me. Rather nice man, that Cell. Good company. I'll miss him.The Red Ribbon Army's demise was indirectly my doing, but so was the greatest monster to sprout up from their ashes. The Namekian fission Piccolo occurred without my input but would have stayed shut in his prison had I not acted. Majin Buu predates me, though it is equally likely it would have remained sealed till the end of time if not for my escapades. And of course without Bardock's defiance of me there would be no Goku Black. I must admit The wizard Babidi, Demon King Dabura, biological Tuffle weapon Baby and Planet Eater Moro would inevitably imperil future generations had I been around or not. My influence is merely unrivaled,not absolute.Blood Knight: There's nothing more fun than cold-blooded murder.Bish\u014dnen Line: Indeed. My first three forms are progressively more monstrous, but my final version is very refined and even beautiful.Breakout Villain: With Vegeta being remembered most asThe Rival, the role of iconic villain had to go to someone. I even returned years after I had died because of this.Brilliant, but Lazy: You'll have to forgive me, as I was always such a prodigy I never bothered to train.I assure you, I shall not make the same mistake twice.Bish\u014dnen Line: I have three forms aside from this one. The first two are hideous, but the third is more streamlined and smooth.And unlike my brother whose additional form is large and imposing, mine's a simple color change, with a bit of height and muscle for good measure.Bizarre Alien Biology: My race can generate clothes from our own body tissues. While this is very useful and allowed me to give my golden form its signature hue, it has unfortunately caused a rumor among the unwashed masses that I parade around in the nude while assuming my final form.Cain and Abel: Don't get me started on Cooler, the prick.The Caligula: I rule as I please, kill where I wish, destroy what I will. If anybody has a problem with that, well they won't live much longer.Came Back Strong: Thrice, actually. First as a cyborg, though I will admit that did not do me much good. Then through training when brought back to life, and then after our win in the Tournament of Power saw me revived once more, I put some more training in, attaining a whole new, black-colored form.Canon Foreigner: My Ancestor, Lord Chilled and my son, Kuriza, could both count as this since they both only appear in Spin-off material. CANON spin-off material, but still, spin-off material nonetheless. My brother is a more complicated case, since he appears in materialthat is conventionally not canon, but his first clash with that simian bastard really does fit in the timeline rather snugly.Card-Carrying Villain: Well, all the stories you've heard are true. I have no regrets.Clipped-Wing Angel: I don't like using 100% of my power. It tends to leave a heavy strain on me.Cold-Blooded Torture:Soamusing. They want to see me at my best? They suffer for it.The Comically Serious: Apparently a lot of you found my interactions with theGinyu Forceto be this. I suppose it's hard for an observer to not laugh as I struggle to tolerate their goofy antics.Complete Monster:I will admit, I AM a monster... and I LOVE IT!!!See hereif you want to see a tally of my sins.Cross-Dressing Voices: I can't help but wonder why people say this about me. It must've been because of earlier reports about me.Curb-Stomp Battle: The day I introduced my Black Frieza form to my old Saiyan friends after that Cerealian business, all it took was one single hit. Yes, even at the latest height of their powers!Cyborg: After being cut in half on Namek, I very much needed some replacement parts. But healing tanks have come a long way since then, and my body has been perfectly restored for my next showdown.The Cynic: I fully expected Mister Son Goku and his meddlesome band of Z Warrior Samaritans to kick me straight back to Hell the moment I have served my purpose as promised in saving The Universe, much like how I once casually disposed of no longer useful pawns... only to be given the life that I was promised... Oh for sure, rebuilding My Criminal Empire and training once again to best My Dear Enemy Goku in combat is still the first order of the day... but perhaps, just perhaps, theremaybe some validity in his obstinate belief in Honor, Kindness, Friendship and other such naive sentimental hogwash after all...Death by Irony: The irony of my actions in destroying the Saiyan race leading to a Super Saiyan being created is not lost on me. Though, having multiples is just cruel! And that's coming from me.Despotism Justifies the Means: And if they have a problem with it, they can take it up with my boot.If I wore boots that is.Dirty Coward: My men have a horrible habit of cringing, begging and turning tailcoat whenever their lives are threatened.They probably picked it up from my dear father.The Don: I am a legitimate businessman, just like thatSweet Old Olive Oil Merchant Mr Corleonewho I had wine with last Sunday. He also understands the value of getting one's hands dirty, and is delightfully skilled at making Offers that Clients simplycan'trefuse. Pleasant old chap overall.Dragon-in-Chief: I am generous enough to allow my pathetic father to keep calling himself \"King Cold\", as long as he stays out of my way. I have surpassed the fool long ago, and whenever he questions my decisions, I simply ignore him.The Dreaded:I am one of the most feared beings in the galaxy, second only to Majin Buu. Considering how most of Galactic civilization has forgotten about him, I suppose I might as well pass as Number 1.I openly boasted to be the strongest in the universe, while secretly knowing to steer clear of Beerus, god of destruction, and Majin Buu. But those two are usually asleep, allowing me to do as I please.Even Universe 2's gods feared me after I tortured one of their warriors. Isn't that something?Earth-Shattering Kaboom: The best solution to problems I can't solve normally. They make such lovely fireworks!Enemy Mine: Ohohoho, is that Goku charging a Spirit Bomb at Jiren? Don't mind having some of my energy. I have plans to use the Tournament of Power for my own intentions, but I have to help that monkey out somehow. Besides, I still owed him for lending me energy on Planet Namek, even if I did attempt to use it against him. So now I have no debts left to repay.Enraged by Idiocy: Inthose irreverent clowns'versions of events, Goku outfighting me alone wasn't enough to make me lose my composure. It was hisasinine observationsandcomplete misunderstanding of my words, words thatbroke the spiritsof smarter men than him, that drove me truly mad.How does hefunction?Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: While father and I have never truly seen eye to eye, I do confess a certain fondness for my nanny Berryblue, who has attended to my needs since boyhood.Vaporize herfor teasing me about my height, you say? (KneecapsTroper with Death-Beam) The dear old dame faithfully awaited my return fortwenty yearssince Vegeta's brat bisected me on Earth, Thank You Very Much! It stands to reason that any true gentleman would return the affections of theclosest thing he has to a mother, yes?Even Evil Has StandardsYou're probably surprised by this, considering what I've admitted to on this page, but I do have standards; even I was surprised for a very brief moment when I realized this - in the first case, anyways.I didn't approve of how the two Zenohs erased Universe 9 in such a carefree way. It's not the loss of life that I objected to - it's the fact that they didn't really seem to understand what they were doing. Even I know that blowing up a planet is a big deal, and I only do so as a last resort; I wouldn't even consider destroying a galaxy, much less a universenotemaybeI would if I had the power and was forced to do so by a stronger figure, although I have a hard time imagining such a situation.While I do hate Goku and friends (the only real exceptions being Androids 17 and 18, mainly due to the fact that they weren't around before I was killed the first time, and they didn't really fight me when I came back to Earth to get my revenge), I know that the destruction of Universe 7 is thelastthing I want. I'm more than willing to put aside my hatred of them for now - I guess it's a good thing that Goku stopped me from blowing up the Earth, seeing as how if I had been successful, Universe 7 would've lost by forfeit. I do have to wonder how he knew that I was going to do that, although considering that he's befriended both Majin Buu and Beerus, it doesn't surprise me in hindsight. It would've been preferable if he found some way to stop me without killing me a second time though.Unlike the Saiyans, I at least let some of the races I conquer serve me; those monkeys practically sterilize entire races.These standards were ones my father gave me - never run afoul of Majin Buu or Beerus the Destroyer. I've met the latter, and I've actually done a good job of both. And inhis series proper, I'm pretty sure my father told me to extend them to that Black Man as well. And in the event that he sees this, I'm well aware of my position on the pecking order. For now. I don't fear the Zenohs because my father never told me about them. And even if he did, he probably wouldn't have known there were two now.I would have absolutely nothing to do with that old goat Moro and his army of thugs and brutes. They sought nothing more than to indiscriminately kill and loot. As I say elsewhere on this page, I am a businessman engaged in the planet trade. My murders and invasions, such as they are, are always done with the long game in mind.Evil Cannot Stand Cuteness: I can think of no worse torture Hell could have dealt me than to spend eternity strung from a tree, cursed to watch an army of enchanted teddy bears and adorable little fairies dancing and singing happy little songs all! Day! LONG! Even the thought of that alone is utterly and undisputably revolting!Evil Is Bigger:To be honest, I am actually smaller than most of my enemies in my usual form, but it does nothing to detract from my menace.Evil Is Petty: I dislike hearing that lady Bulma call me a scumbag. Yes I am evil but I don't care for such lowly insults.Faux Affably EvilJust because I'm a, as a certain monkey once put it, a 'ruthless, heartless bastard' who's exterminated billions of races doesn't mean I have to beunpleasant. Not that others appreciate my charm: if anything they find it more unsettling. Hmm...I can live with that.My abridged adaptationamped this up gloriously, making me funny while still just as ruthless and intimidating as canon. I think I might spare them when I inevitably destroy their world.Final Solution: To the problem of Planet Vegeta.Finger Gun: Using both full hands? Weaklings. I need only one finger from one hand to fire a better energy blast than yours.For the EvulzSome days, it's the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. Genocide is easy, actually running things can be a pain...Oh sure, I could just retire in luxury. But where's the fun in that? The rest of my family also follows this trope...Even my son does it, but to a lesser extent.Although I joined Goku and his chumps in the Tournament of Power, don't think that I have changed one bit. I enjoyed watching a Yardratian nearly defeat Gohan, then I had fun torturing the pink guy. You should've seen the look on that Goddess of Destruction's face after I nearly decimated him.Friendly Enemy: Notice that when speaking the Terran Japanese Language, I wouldconsistentlyaddress Mister Son Goku as if he is my equal and use courteous and polite language when conversing with him. Granted, while I would stillhappilytear out his beating heart and force-feed it to one of his brats if given the chance, thisisthe same man who is able tobestme in battle not once buttwice; that factaloneentitles him to mysincererespect, if not admiration. I loathe to admit it, but when even loyal bootlickers like Mister Zarbon and Mister Dodoria are acquaintancesat best, as myequalMister Son Goku is probably the closest a God such as myself has to a \"friend.\"A Glass of Chianti: A good glass of red wine is just the thing I need some days. Oh don't bother asking; it isn't a vintage any human would be aware of.A God Am I: With a whisk of my finger, planets become dust. Forget Beerus, forIam the true God of Destruction! Even Universe 9's Supreme Kai considered me a better candidate for the job than the one he was partnered with, but alas, Universe 9's gods aren't much of a reference point. No fun in wreaking havoc on a Universe when it's doing a bang-up job of wreaking havoc on itself.Golden Super Mode: My ultimate evolution. Yes, I'm aware of the irony. It's intentional, as anything that monkey filth can do, I can domuchbetter, let me assure you. And do so apply the same to my new black form as well. While my new transformations are obviously not as drastic as what my brother came up with, you'll learn that size isn't everything.Half the Man He Used to BeNot...one of my prouder moments. This has happened to me twice, actually. The first time, Goku somehow managed to get clever and trick me into slicing off my arm and lower torso with my own energy disk:the monkey laughed at me for it!I survived, of course, thanks to the latest cyborg technology at the time.The second time I was not so lucky; that mysterious new Super Saiyan boy cut me in half vertically. And then into several more pieces. Now that I have been revived, those two are going to soon find themselves missing someveryimportant parts...Height Angst: It's... unfortunate that someone as magnificent as me has been cursed with such short stature. It bothered me enough that I once tried to gather Earth's Dragon Balls in an attempt to make myself five centimeters taller. By the way, should you ever breathe a word of this to anyone... there won't be enough of you left to bury.Hero Killer: The earthling and Vegeta never stood a chance. The altered retelling of my resurrection even allowed me to strike three Namekians dead in a single shot!Hoist by His Own Petard: As mentioned above, that pesky Saiyan tricked me into slicing myself in half with my own energy disk!Horned Humanoid: Though not in my final form.Iconic Sequel Character: I am Dragon Ball's most well known villain. But it may shock you learn I didn't appear until about five years into its run.I Am Not Left-HandedThis 530,000 power level before you? That's only afractionof what I'm truly capable of.Pulled again when I was fighting Goku in my final form. Neither of us were using our full strength (he could tell that much), but he had no idea how I was still holding back.I Don't Pay You to Think:I'm perfectly fine with my men taking initiative,as long as they think it through.Pummeling a person to near death when they may have valuable information and killing off the only witness to an important secretare such examples of making foolish executive decisions.I Have No Son!: My son, Kuriza, brings shame upon our entire family and my empire. FOR HELL'S SAKE, HE BECAME FRIENDS WITH ONE OF MY WORST ENEMY'S STUDENTS!Immortality SeekerI refuse to be taken by the ignobility of the Reaper! I will gain my wish forComplete Immortality,no matter how many worlds I have to crush!Who Wants to Live Forever?:However after spending more than a decade completely motionless in Earth's hell... It... It's given me someperspective. I've decided I'm going to stay mortal until I've found something to actuallydofor eternity. I'd rather face the reaper again than regret not being able to.Jerkass:I'm not a nice person.Just askmy minionsor those filthy Saiyan monkeys.Kick The Son Of A Bitch: When I met my Universe 6 counterpart Frost in the Tournament of Power, I pretended to ally with him, just to eliminate Frost from the tournament. Why did I do this? Why do I do anything,it's fun.Know When to Fold 'Em: Although I'm powerful, I know that to ensure my plan goes through as smoothly as possible, I need to make sure Jiren is out of the picture, although he seems to be more powerful than the very Gods of Destruction that I used to dreadfully fear.Don't tell anybody I gave my energy to Goku, okay?I similarly declined to do battle withthe fusion of Goku and Vegeta. Either one of them is enough to give me a challenge. Fighting a being who is several times stronger than both of them combined would have been downright suicidal.Light Is Not Good: I am a glorious sculpture of ivory and purple.My golden formjust adds to the splendor.Locked Out of the LoopDue to being dead for a long time, I missed out on quite a few plot developments.In hindsight, I shouldn't have been surprised that Vegeta became a Super Saiyan. Probably should've thought fighting him and Goku back-to-back, seeing as how in hindsight, him and Vegeta are equals at SSGSS.Wait, Goku and Vegeta can fuse together into an even more powerful being? ...I'll admit, it's probably a good thing that I didn't decide to pick a fight with them after they stopped me from blowing up that spacecraft. I'll have to think of something to deal with that.Loophole Abuse: Oh, I'm not allowed to kill in the Tournament of Power? That's no fun. However, the rules say nothing about torturing them and there seems to be no consequences for what happens to warriors after they're rung out. I'm not that stupid.Lost in Translation: Feminine? Homoerotic? Brutish?Me?!I can assure you I am a man of class, and very much male!Made of Iron: I've survived being cut in half by own disc attack, the explosion of planet Namek, and a clash with a God of Destruction! I am Lord Freeza, and I do NOT die easily!Manipulative Bastard: Towards that giant brute Broly. He appeared to be reaching his limit fighting Goku, but I recalled how that monkey turned Super Saiyan when his bald friend died. So I killed Broly's father and told him it was an accident caused by an errant energy blast. He bought it hook line and sinker, and I got to watch in delight as he unleashed his fury.Mutants: Not just myself, but my entire family. It's why we're so powerful.The Napoleon: I admit, my first and final forms are rather height deficient, but happily they have no diminishing effect on my sublime villainy. But you will do well to keep any height-related quips to yourself lest you want me to makeyoushorter by a head.Nice Job Fixing It, VillainDestroying the planet Vegeta practically saved intelligent life in the universe. If you think I lack mercy you should have met one of those Saiyan brutes. If they were left to do as they please they would have gone from world to world sterilizing them of their native populations or blowing them up. I at least allow some of the people I conquer to join my army.Had I not acted, Beerus The Destroyer would have stamped out the monkeys on his own time table. I acted before him in an effort to preserve my own station and in effect hastened my own downfall. I've come to learn many of my would be rivals, successors and even my then superiors would go on to meet similar fates at the hand of the Super Saiyan. Thank me for my blunder if it pleases you, my mistakes will be amended in due time.Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant:I'm considered prettychilling. Not surprising, since I was designed from the author'sgreatest fears. This is still the case if I'm in a more comedic series, as you'll seehere- I even have a larger file thanthat black man.No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Should you choose to fight me, this will be your gift. A slow and painful torture session until you ultimately die, knowing you never stood a chance.Oh, Crap!: I'll admit, I've had a few of these myself - usually when I'm on the receiving end of a situation involving a Super Saiyan.Older Than They Look: I'm at least in my seventies by your Earth calendar.Omnicidal Maniac: Only if they pose a danger, or are in the way of a good sell. I'm more than happy to let them live in servitude if they're willing to play nice and no one wants to buy their land.One-Winged Angel: Three in total, each more powerful than the last. My case is a bit different, though. Those transformations aren't increasing my power; they're holding back reserves of power so I can control it.Orcus on His Throne: I have much more important political business to do than get my hands dirty. Running a galactic organization is very taxing. If you want to face me, you'll have to go through my entire army first. And I assure you, if you survive that, then you won't surviveme.Painful Transformation: I won't bore you with the biological details, but yes. Transforming and undoing my limitations is very physically stressing. The most pain I've ever experienced in fact, before certainindividualscame into my life...Pet the Dog: One of the monkeys' companions is the Earthling Yamcha. I understand he's often treated as aButt-Monkeyby the universe.When I got to meet him personally,I was rather impressed both by his recognition of my power and his attempts to talk sense into the monkey Goku. I even went so far as to recognize how sensible and handsome he was. It wouldn't have stopped me from killing him and Goku, of course, but I thought it deserved some appreciation.Pintsized Powerhouse: Do you expect me to cower just because you're all bigger than me? If I wanted I could kill you all with a single blow. Besides, it is only my first and true form's that aren't that tall to begin with. My second and third form, fittingly, tower above you lot, and my Golden Form is of average height.Power Incontinence: If I haveanyflaws, it's this: my full power is not only too much to control, it's very taxing. To be fair, it's not as if Ineedit most of the time: mere fractions of my power are often enough to wipe lesser beings from existence. Fortunately, I have managed to address this flaw after my return from the dead. UnfortunatelyI had failed to notice my Golden form had the same issue, and so I had to work away that flawagainthrough vigorous mental training in Hell.Power Limiter: The very form standing before you. I only open the floodgates when need be.Purple Is Powerful: Most assuredly. Many of my forms have blue and purple highlights, and I am among the most powerful beings in the entire universe at any given time.Rank Scales with Asskicking: From the day I was born I was always as strong as I am now... and was always destined to rule.Rasputinian Death: Considering I can survive an innumerable amount of injuries, I'm afraid this will be the only way you could kill me.Red Eyes, Take Warning: My race and I have red eyes to show how deadly we indeed are.RevengeThe Super Saiyan must die.Revenge Before Reason: My men warned that trying to get revenge on the Saiyans rather than trying to rebuild my empire was a mistake. To my irritation it turned out to be true, the only reason I lasted as long as I did was because Goku and Vegeta were too dumb to attack me together, and even when I attempted to blow up the Earth and them along with I only got sent back to Hell by Goku. I learned from that mistake since I came back to life again. Even though I have grown stronger I am not going to rush into a battle with Saiyans on my own again, their growth is too much of a risk.Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Ironically, the steps I had taken to prevent the legend of the Super Sayian from coming to fruition is what created the one being who could defeat me.Shoot the Medic First: I'm sorry, but there will be no Namekian children giving you a chance at hope by allowing you to survive the nightmare beyond hell.Shout-Out: My third form might have similarities to that so called 'perfectorganism'.Smug Super: I'm not being smug. I'm speaking the honest truth that no one can surpass my power.Sorting Algorithm of Evil: I typically task my much weaker underlings to carry out tasks for me, while they typically do the same. I simply have better things to do with my day than help them fight, like deciding which wine will pair well with my dinner.Sphere of Destruction: My coveted Death Ball, and it's often the last thing a planet sees before I wipe it out.Straight Man and Wise Guy: I am the Straight Man to theGinyu Force's Wise Guy. I sometimes play this role toSon Goku, unless he'sgotten serious.Taking You with Me: Son GokuthoughtI was doing this when I tried to destroy Namek, but I was only planning to kill him. When it exploded he would die from the lack of air, butI can breathe in spaceso I would have survived. If he hadn't gotten lucky and gotten into one of the Ginyu Force's pods, he would have died along with the planet.Teeth-Clenched TeamworkI was forced to cooperate with some of my most hated enemiesduring the Tournament of Power, including one Mister Son Goku.After all,having the universe erased would obviously not benefit me, and getting resurrected obviously would.When I got to act as theVillain Protagonistin the villain storyline ofDragon Ball FighterZI had some issues with Cell, a rather ironic depiction given animefillersin the past depicted us with aVillainous Friendship. I beat and forced him to work for me, but the moment Goku showed up we started to fight over who got to kill him. Which of us wins depends on who the player picks.Telekinesis: I can toss anything in my way aside with a thought.Too Important to Walk: Honestly, I run such a tight ship that there is hardly any reason to even stand up. My personal hover vehicle isverycomfortable.Token Evil TeammateOhoho, evil you say? You could say that I joined Goku and his friends in the Tournament of Power, but obviously, I have my own intentions. It's quite fun messing with others, especially what I did with that wannabe clone of mine from Universe 6. Oh, and I enjoyed trapping Goku inside of that ball.It's definitelyTeeth-Clenched Teamwork- the only members of the team I don't have some feud with are Androids 17 and 18, and that's only because they weren't heroes while I was alive prior to my resurrection by Sorbet, and when I came back to Earth after said resurrection, they chose to stay out of the fightnotealthough apparently 18 wanted to fight against my forces at first;I honestly have no idea why. I actually don't mind them. Although I wouldn't have guessed that Krillin would end up marrying 18.Took a Level in Badass:You thoughtI was horribly outmatchedwhen the Androids came along? Think again, imbecile; I wasn't eventrying.When the Dragonballs gave me life, it took just four months to surpass evenBuu itself!I would've even beaten Goku if it weren't for my poor stamina.Oh, you thought mypoor staminawas a breaking point for me? Well while I was in Hell,I overcame that weakness, and when that fool Goku thought that I'd be in check by the time he recruited me to the Tournament of Power.You thought that I would stop after the Tournament of Power? Hardly, I found a place to trainsimilar to the Room of Spirit and Time, I trained for ten years in that room's dimension, during which two people wished to be the Universe's strongest warrior, well because I wasn't in the Universe's dimension at the time I was still more powerful than either of them as I demonstrated on one of them with my new form Black Frieza.Took a Level in Kindness: Well, a very small level. But during theTournament of Power, I did my best to cooperate with my teammates, gave Son Goku my energy, and even rung myself out to defeat Jiren.I've also stopped vaporizing my minions at the slightest provocation. So long as they've unquestionably proven their undying loyalty to me I'm inclined to overlook the occasional... slip-up.Twitchy Eye: My eye tends to twitch somewhat when I'm forced to recall... unpleasant memories. If you see it happening, it's a very good sign that you should drop whatever line of questioning you're pursuing.Underestimating Badassery:If anyone's going to suffer through that, it'll be you before me.In fact, the reason I hate the Super Saiyan so much is because I did this to him. I will not make that mistake twice.Unskilled, but Strong: The glorious power thatheld the galaxy in fear?I've never needed to train for it, it's mybirthright.Viewer Gender Confusion: Oh, just because I like to dress in purple and put on lipstick, that makes me a girl/ambiguous/gay? Maybe it does,or maybe stereotypes are bullshit,as Zarbon would say.Villain DecayMy humiliation didn't end after that degenerate monkey bested me. Ever since then, I've been spat upon.My first death had me sliced like steak, and whenever I'm depicted in Hell I'm treated like a chump.That was until my revival, where I returned to my rightful place as Strongest in the Universe! Apologies,Gohan, I'm a god once more!It is especially common in the timelines depicted in the non serial movies and electronic games to resurrect me, and not make me the main or even major threat to the monkeys. As far as I am concerned the only timelines that matter are those where my golden greatness over takes these pretenders and puts me back on top.Villain Forgot to Level Grind: I admit, it used to be a problem. When you're as strong as me and have killed everyone in your path, you don't tend to notice when someone bests you.Key phrase being \"used to be.\"Villainous BreakdownWhile I am shamed to admit it, there were times on Namek I was... less then composed:After the Earthlings used up the dragon balls and deprived me of my chance for immortality, I outright said I'd never been more angry than that moment. And I showed it.After that accursed Saiyan dropped that giant energy bomb on me, I was furious to the point that I brutally murdered his best friend in front of him. In retrospect, that was a mistake.When said Saiyan became the legendary Super Saiyan and began overwhelming me, I admit that I felt backed into a corner for the first time in my life. You can't blame for me for trying to blow up the planet to take him out.Many years later, when Vegeta and Goku beat the crap out of me even in my Golden Form, I underwent another one andsuccessfullydestroyed Earth, taking that traitor with me. Well not with me, I was still alive. Damn Whis for rewinding time.Few months after my second death, after Goku recruited me to the Tournament of Power, I was about to beat the second fiddle of Universe 11, when he decided to throw caution to the wind, and ascends to become aGod of Destruction, after which he beat the crap out of me again. His Ball of Destruction was also quite a bit stronger than the one produced by what's-his-name from Universe 9. It would haveerased my existenceif killing wasn't illegal in the Tournament.Villainous Friendship: Whenever I met Cell in filler arcs. Subverted inDragon Ball FighterZ, where his arrogance made us far more hostile.Villainous Valor: When I was brought back for the Tournament of Power. I was forced to work with my most hated enemies in contest with enemies who were more powerful than any of us. Despite that I still persevered.When Goku tricked Broly into attacking me, I was pummeled by the brute for an hour. I didn't suffer any sort ovVillainous Breakdown, instead I simply marveled at his power.Villain RespectWell done, Son Goku, for achieving Godhood; I expected no less of the peasant whose hard-work, perseverance and courage allowed him to rise to challenge my nobility. You are truly a worthy son of your valorous father, Bardock. Ah, he was one of the few truly brave apes, taking on my entire army to save his precious planet. Not that it did him any good in the end. Your first offspring, Gohan, might not be as strong as you, but he's more than made up for it with his brains. Good thing, because if he had your levels of intelligence and didn't realize what I planned on doing, I would've turned on Universe 7 for real. I'll have to get back to you on the topic of your other son, since I don't know enough about him.In fact, this trope is probably the reason why I didn't immediately decide to try and get revenge on the Saiyans after the end of the Universe Survival Arc - I've grown to respect Goku a lot. That and I needed time to rebuild my empire, as well as see what life was like after having been revived.We Can Rebuild Him: After surviving the explosion of Namek and being rescued by my father, my top scientists used the best cybernetic components they could make to repair my body. It was supposed to make me 100 times more powerful than I was before; however, it apparently wasn't enough to defeat the new Super Saiyan I encountered on Earth.Wham Line:During the first round of my battle on Namek, Vegeta dropped this bombshell:\"What are you waiting for? Transform.\"During my fight with the Namekian, I used this sentence to convey how helpless the situation against me was:\"Were you even aware that I had already transformedoncebefore you arrived?\"Goku after pulling me from Hell for 24 hours, thought he can still control me by beating me up once I have exhausted my stamina. I only had this to say before he becameverycareful dealing with me.\"Do you still think that Golden Freeza is a form that rapidly drains my stamina?\"Who Wants to Live Forever?: I've recently forgone my wish for immortality. Why, you ask? Well, if being trapped in that repugnant pit that was Earth's Hell has taught me one thing, it's that not being able to die would likely result inunending misery...! So I suppose, though I utterly loath to admit it, death is something of a blessing in-disguise.Wicked Cultured: I am quite refined and elegant, if not vicious. However, due toDub Textand wrong voice casting, the original American dub didn't show me this way, instead making me sound feminine and raspy. Ironically, that dub showed myfatherasa sophisticated person, when he's actually one of the most brutish beings you'll ever see. Fortunately, the new dub corrected that oversight for both of us.The Worf Effect: Unfortunately, I had to suffer this to show how dangerous those pesky androids were.World's Strongest Man: I am sure you meant to phrase that as \"Universe's Strongest Man?\" But yes. I am a living well of power none can hope to topple. Until...Son Goku happened. That was when I realized the true potential of my gift that I had neglected, and once I began to polish that gem to gleam, that throne was mine for the taking once more.Worthy Opponent: I will graciously admit that it was Son Goku's perseverance, which allowed a gutter-born peasant warrior such as he to ascend past my omnipotent glory, that inspired me to similarly strive for self improvement for the first time in my life. As theonlybeing to earn my respect, I amalmostpained with regret that hewilldie by my hand one day...Almost.Xenomorph Xerox: My third form looks a lot like another iconic deadly alien, like me.Yellow/Purple Contrast: I achieved this in my Golden Form. My golden and purple form reflected my illustrious royal heritage as well as my magnificent fighting skills.You Have Failed Me: I will not tolerate weakness within my ranks, no cowardice, no insubordination, and no failure.Well, I believe we have more pressing concerns to which to attend. I believe your planet has artifacts called Dragon Balls, seven in total, that when brought together are able to grant any wish, including immortality.Now...Are you going to hand them to me, or do things have to get messy?"} {"text": "The Byakugan Princess.Click to see me as Boruto and Himawari\u2019s mother.Um . . . hello.My name is Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga clan of the Hidden Leaf village.Um . . . to look at me one wouldn\u2019t think I was much of a kunoichi due to my shyness.However, I do train hard and there\u2019s the Byakugan which enables members of my family to see our opponents\u2019 weak spots and neutralize them.

That's probably how I got starring roles in filler arcs and became the main heroine ofThe Last: Naruto the Movie.Character Development: Because of my failure to live up to my family's legacy, I felt I couldn't achieve anything worthwhile and withdrew into myself.

His love for me is genuine."} {"text": "or Abie Hadjitarkhani)Hmm...? Eh.....(Sigh) Can I help you people?What? Self-Demonstrating Page? Does it look like I have time for this crap? Really?Good grief... Fine, if only if it'll get you people out of my face faster.If you have eyes, you can see my name is Jotaro Kujo, apparently I'm part of a lineage calledthe Joestar line, not that I really cared about that. Never knew my father as he was always on tour, a musician or something. My mom, Holly, raised me. Can't really say I can complain, my childhood was pretty uneventful. Least until I turned 17. One day, as I was being hassled by a gang, I prepared to do my usual beatdown. Until all of a sudden this strange spirit suddenly appeared out of me and did the job for me. For a time I thought it was a demon possessing me and willingly got myself locked up to protect others from myself. That was until my grandfather, Joseph Joestar, came down to Japan and revealed the truth, it wasn't a demon but rather a form of my fighting spirit called a Stand that had recently manifested.Turns out this was due to an ancient adversary of the family by the name of DIO having resurfaced. There's a lot of history there I'm not in the mood to cover, but basically my great-grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, died trying to kill him. He didn't quite get the job done, in fact DIO had managed to steal his body, the bastard. The power resonated to the rest of the Joestar bloodline once he did. Unfortunately my mother also developed a Stand, but because she didn't have the fighting will my grandfather and me had, it was slowly killing her. The only way to stop it was to kill DIO and to do that we had to traverse halfway across the world to Egypt to do so. DIO was onto our quest however and sent assassins to take us out. To say the least I had to learn on the fly what my Stand, now dubbed Star Platinum, could do during all of this but I tend to be a quick learner.It was no scenic trip, we gained friends but likewise lost a few and the battle with DIO nearly cost me and my grandfather's life. Ultimately we succeeded when I found out my Stand had the same power as DIO's The World, namely the ability to stop time. I took him out with it and my mother's life was spared. I went on with my life, took a study in Marine Biology and barely had to use Star Platinum. Until I found out my old geezer had a one night stand with a woman in a town called Morioh... and she gave birth to a kid who turned out to be technically my uncle despite being several years younger than me.Yare yare daze. So I had to come down to the small town to inform the boy, Josuke Higashikata, of his inheritance. Seemed cut and dry, but then Stand users started showing up there all of a sudden. After dealing with one that attacked Josuke, I stayed in Morioh to investigate and found out that some ancient arrows made from a meteor long ago and able to grant people Stand should their will be strong enough, was being used to make more Stand users. Making things more complicated was that there was a serial killer on the loose name Kira who was tied to one of them. So I got dragged into another life-or-death adventure. Luckily Josuke and his friends turned out to be pretty capable people and we managed to defeat Kira. Heh the old geezer even reconciled with Josuke as well.Not much happened since then, but then I found out DIO had a son named Giorno Giovanna and had one of my friends investigate him, but he turned out to be a good egg so I left him be (being more Joestar than Brando probably helped out). From what I heard he's a mafia boss now, but a benevolent one. I finished my studies, got married, and had a daughter. But.. well, I guess I wasn't so different from my old man after all. I put too much priority in several missions overseas that I never had time for my family. My daughter, Jolyne, ended up turning into a delinquent and I ultimately estranged from her. She ended up getting framed for robbery and stuck inside a woman's prison. I found out too late that this was a ploy by old enemies and...I don't recall much. I got knocked into a coma somehow thanks to a Stand user, forcing Jolyne to fend for herself. Though luckily, she developed her own Stand to do so and gained several allies of her own. She succeeded in saving me just in time for the showdown with the master mind.What happened next? Can't say, it gets a bit hazy there, I remember gravity going out of order, time suddenly moving forward at an accelerated rate, being chased by someone, oceans and... knives. And then suddenly back to normal. So I suppose we succeeded. Not much I can really question.So there, happy now? My life story. Now get lost.Wait? Tropes?Good grief.All Girls Want Bad Boys: Ugh, I don't know why this is. Girls just seem to fawn all over me, even when I tell them to shut up.Anti-Hero: Yeah, I'm not what you call a bleeding heart and I've done my share of unruly behavior. But even then I still have my morals. You cross a line I don't want you to, let's just say I'll have a very violent rebuttal.Ambiguous Disorder: Apparently, some people have examined my behavior and said I fit criteria for some kind of spectrum. I don't see how it's any of their damned business, but whatever.Ambiguously Gay: I don't really have a type when it comes to woman. But I'm not interested in men much either. I don't have to explain myself and I don't care what conclusion you come to about this either.Badass in Distress: I'm one to admit I'm not invincible. I've been put in positions where they could easily take me out. Hell, I ended up dropping my guard when visiting my daughter in prison and got put into a coma for most of it. Apparently lost my Stand and memories in the process.Badass Longcoat: My usual style consists of these. Most would say it's my most recognizable feature. -Shrug- Whatever.Berserk Button: Three things, annoying girls, stupid antics and cruelty to animals. In this case, DIO doesn't count,too obvious, too easy.Breakout Character: Of my family, I seem to be the most recognizable. I don't know why, there's nothing interesting about me.Catchphrase:Yare yare daze(\u201cGood grief\u201d for you English speakers),which my daughter picked up herself.Character Development: I started out not really like much anyone that wasn't my family (and even then I barely got along with my grandfather). But through my journeys, I eventually came around to caring for my comrades. I held onto these lessons well into my adult years.The Dreaded: I was already something of a terror in high school due to my reputation. Once I got a Stand and took down some of DIO's assassins, the ones ahead saw me as the main threat. Heh, I'm flattered.Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: I may have not been the best son and she may be a bitch, but don't you dare say I didn't love my mother. I think the fact I risked life and limb on a quest halfway across the world to save her is proof of that.Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: If I'm doing this toward you, you're pretty much dead.He's All Grown Up: I start the series out at 17, in my 20s during the whole Morioh fiasco and my late 40s when helping my daughter.How Do I Shot Web?: Once I gained my Stand, I had to go through a lot of trial and error on what it could do. Unlike my compatriots who had special abilities like fire, swordplay or water, my Stand just had heightened senses and super speed. Not exactly something the others we faced didn't already posses. It was only when facing DIO that I found out I could stop time. And that's only after he nearly crushed me with afreaking steam roller!Hidden Depths: Everyone always pegged me as a thug because of my delinquency. They're even more surprised when they find out I took up an interest in Marine Biology. Do people not understand hobbies are a thing?Kiai:ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!Made of Iron: Yeah, I'm a tough bastard. You tend to gain a lot of stamina dealing with punks on a daily basis during high school.Nerves of Steel: I've been in more then enough encounters to know to never let your enemies see you flinch. This didn't change when I become a Stand user, and helped me through a number of encounters.Papa Wolf: Despite not being there for most of her life, I'm not afraid to come to my daughter's aid if she needs me, no matter how much she claim she doesn't either.Perpetual Frowner: I don't like to smile much, alright. Don't bother making a big deal about it.Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: My go-to move with Star Platinum. I just beat the crap of whoever's attacking me till they're nothing but a pile of broken bones.ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!!Signature Headgear: I tend to wear caps with my ensemble as well, some even barring my name. Hmm? How does my hair keep merging with the back end of it? -Shrug- Can't help you there buddy.Showy Invincible Hero: Tch please, I take hits just as well anyone. People tend to think I can come and go into fight unscathed. Hell no, it still hurts like Hell. I nearly lost my hand at one pointto a rat of all things.The Stoic: Suppose you can say that about me. I'm not one to really show my emotions.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: I wasonce approachedbythis guywho wanted to fight me. I accepted his challengeand lost... and bygetting killed he touched my pressure point early on? Yare yare daze.Tranquil Fury: Like I said, I don't show emotions much, but that doesn't mean I don't get mad. Those that pissed me off have learned that the hard way.Time Stands Still: What my Stand, Star Platinum, gained at the 11th hour against DIO: the ability to stop time. Quite a coincidence we had the same power, but I wasn't complaining. Sure, I can't use it as long as he could since he was a vampire, but it was enough to let me kick his ass.When You Coming Home, Dad?: -Sigh- Yeah, I was a crappy father ironically when my old man wasn't even around for most of my life. I was always on the move dealing with these supernatural messes, but I never made time for my daughter, not even telling her I loved her. I just wanted Jolyne safe, but all I ended up doing was estranging her and turning her into a delinquent worse than I was in my youth. Won't lie, if I had another chance, I'd do it better.There, done. That's all you're getting. You pester me further, I'll show you what my Star Platinum can do up close and personal. Beat it.ORA! ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!!Give me a break.

You're here to hear about the undisputed leader of Team Dai-Gurren, the manliest, most tenacious man in the known galaxy and all of the multiverse, THE MIGHTY KAMINA!What's that? Some of you reading this don't know who I am? Well then, dig the wax out of your ears and listen close. The reputation of Team Dai-Gurren goes far and wide. When people talk about its badass leader, the man of indomitable spirit and masculinity, they're talking about me, THE MIGHTY KAMINA!What do you mean I just repeated myself? Hey! Hey! Hey! Just who the hell do you think I am? This is my page and I get to make the rules here see! Now sit back, relax and listen real close as I tell you the story of the greatest hero that EVER LIIIIIIVED!To start, I'm from that one anime. You know the one that created the phraseBeyond the Impossible. What? Not ringing a bell. MUST I SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU? I'm fromTengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! Can't you tell from myBadass Cape, awesome blue hair,awesome sunglassesandkickass sword? You can't! Well then,LOOKS LIKE I BETTER START AT THE BEGINNING!Years ago I ventured onto the surface world with my old man, but back then I was too scared to go where no man has gone before, so my old man sent me back to my home village in Jiha.I spent years trying to convince the village chief that there was a world above the ceiling to the underground village, but he wouldn't believe me. Can you believe that? How could he doubt the mighty Kamina?Well, anyway, after many years and zany schemes trying to break out onto the surface, fate smiled upon me. First, I met this really smoking hot sniper babe,Yoko, let me tell you with melons like that it wasLove at First Sightfor this great epic specimen of manliness. Oh, and I guess a giant robot dropped down and tried to terrorize the village,but that's not nearly as important. I mean, I could've beaten it with just the village chief's sword andmy manly spirit.No, seriously,I totally could have.Unfortunately, I didn't get to show the village, or Simon and Yoko, how manly I am and...what? Who's Simon? Ah, how could I forget to mention Simon, myblood brother!Simon is from Jiha Village, just like me.When his parents died in an earthquake, Simon was left all alone, but thenI came along and took him under my wing, guiding him and mentoring him so that he would one day become a badass pinnacle of manliness just like me,which he definitely did, though it took him a little while. But anyway, enough about Simon for now. This is my page, so right now, we're gonna talk about me!IT'S MY TIME TO SHINE!Anyway, long story short, Simon and Yoko helped me bust out onto the surface world where we were all thrust into battle againstbeastmenand theirGunmen. I totally jacked me one of them and named it Gurren, pairing it off with Simon's tinier Gunman, Lagann.Togetherwe formed the greatest giant fighting robot that ever existed, the Gurren Lagann. Aw, yeah, baby!With ourCombining Mechaand manly spirit,Simon and Iwere unstoppable! Well, at least until around the time we fought some monkey dude. See, as thehuman resistance,led by yours truly, started gaining momentum we took on a giant fortress called Dai Gunzan. Since Simon's Lagann canfuse with other mecha and take control of themI came up with this brilliant plan to have him take control of the enemy's main base. And while the plan worked in the end, during the battle, I sort of... well...died. But luckily, not long after my demise,Simon's manly soul finally awakened, and he took up my mantle and finished what we started!But that's not where my story ends! Death means nothing to this man! A true man never dies, even if he is killed! When Simon and the others were in danger, trapped bysome creepy shadow dude'sweird hypno spell thingy, I was able to briefly return and speak to Simon one last time, allowing him and everyone else to break free from the trap andfinish things once and for all. And while I can't go back to my world, I totally get to chillax wherever I wanna these days. And hey, this internet is a pretty cool place if you ask me. I'm totally going to make a new Team Dai-Gurren. We'll call it TeamShin-Dai-Gurren so you know it's even more awesome than the first.

Mostly due to the fact as, like I said before, all the shouting is just a coping mechanism and I probably would've been dead a lot sooner if Simon and Yoko weren't keeping me in line.Reconstruction: Ironically, my death was actually caused by me trying to be smart and have a plan whenrushing headlong into actionand winging itproduced better results. Go figure. More importantly, I inspire people to get things done because I can boast and bruise with the rest of 'em. After all,just who the hell do you think I am?Decoy Protagonist: I'd say it sucks to be me because I only got to scream and shout for eight episodes, but life these days does have its perks.

Channel the spirit of the64th master of Hokuto Shinkenthrough the following \u2014Takehito Koyasu,Kunihiro Kawamoto, Hiroshi Abe,Hideo Ishikawa,Katsuyuki Konishi,Takaya Kurodaif you're speaking Japanese.

Take a wild guess as to what happens next.)ATATATATATATATATATATATATATA... OWATTA!!(The Mook is flattened by theHokuto Hykaretsuken - the Hundred Crack Fist. He gets back up, but...)Sono otoko wa m\u014d shindeiru(He is already dead).Mook:...Nani?!HIDEBU!!(The Mook's body begins to twist and deform. Soon, splat!)Some people never learn. Are you okay, troper? Not harmed? Good. I tend to wander a lot in the wasteland. I'm never in one place for very long. It's fortunate you found me. Risky, but it's about time that I told you my story.I was created in the year 1983 by Tetsuo Hara and Yoshiyuki Okamura \"Buronson\"; having drawn inspiration fromMax Rockatansky(a character played by American actorMel Gibson),Bruce Lee(the Chinese martial artist of Jeet Kune Do fame), and Y\u016bsaku Matsuda (a Japanese actor whose specialty was detectives). A single look at me, and the inspirations in question are more than obvious.My name is Kenshiro. Sixty-fourth successor to the assassin's style of Hokuto Shinken. Translated, it usually means 'Divine Fist of the North Star.' Just how dangerous is Hokuto Shinken, you ask? We attack by striking the opponent'skeiraku hiko, their pressure points.A single tapcan easily kill a person, as you have already witnessed.I was named afterKenshiro Kasumi, Ryuken's half-brother and the 62th successor to Hokuto Shinken. He is quite infamous in the Shanghai underworld asY\u00e1nw\u00e1ng, the King of Hell.I, along with Toki and Raoh came from the Land of Shura. We were later adopted by Ryuken (born Ramon Kasumi), and along with a fourth adopted brother named Jagi, began to train under Ryuken for the chance to become the sixty-fifth successor to Hokuto Shinken.During this time, I would also become engaged to my childhood sweetheart, Yuria. I spent my time training with Ryuken and my brothers and spending time with Yuria.Then, Ryuken named me as successor. Me, the youngest of the brothers. Toki was a foregone conclusion, but he told me that he was ill, thus it fell onto me.It could not happen at a worse time.In the year 199X, the world was bathed in nuclear fire. Raoh sought refuge in a bomb shelter on the training grounds. Toki sacrificed his place inside a bomb shelter for Yuria and myself. And somehow, Jagi survived.When we emerged from the shelter, the world we once knew was now gone. The strong preyed upon the weak. Warlords rose to fight for what remained of clean food and water. The flame of life was sputtering. Once it went out, then it could not be reignited.Jagi challenged me for the title of successor, believing that no younger sibling should outdo the elder. Looking back on it now, I shouldn't have shown him mercy. It would've save me plenty of grief down the line.Jagi turned a longtime friend, Shin, against me and kidnapped Yuria. These seven scars you see on my chest? That's Shin's handiwork, hence one of my many nicknames, 'The Man With The Seven Scars.'Thus, began my quest to get Yuria back.In my quest did revenge, I began to being hope back to the wasteland. Not even Jagi's attempts to stain my name couldn't stop my rise as a hero of the Wasteland. Only after my encounter with Shin, did I learn the truth from Jagi as to why Shin rose against me.Hewas the one who drove Shin to madness. My mercy can only go so far.Many warlords and bandits have fallen to my fists. Souther. The Fang King. The Golan Colonel. I would even challenge Toki, who complimented me on my growth. I made friends, even lost some good ones in my journey. But there was one more opponent that I had to face, my greatest challenge yet: our brother, Raoh.Our battle took place at the Hokuto training grounds. He gave me the fight of my life. But in the end, I was the victor. He even extended Yuria's life for several more years so we could live in peace.Then, he returned to Heaven, and reunited with Toki.A decade would pass. During this time, Yuria would pass away, and I would reunite with Bat and Lin, two children whom I knew in the past, now leading an army against the Celestial Emperor.My journey would eventually lead me back home, to the Land of Shura. Here, I would discover several revelations regarding my past. The first was that I had an actual brother names Hyoh, and that we both are descended from the main Hokuto bloodline.I would then face off against Kaioh, Raoh's elder brother in combat. Hokuto Shinken versus Hokuto Ryuken. While the latter is deadlier, the former is the more superior style. And I proved it by defeating Kaioh.My exploits are not just confined to only manga and anime.I also graced the fighting tournament scene with my presence. Not the first time, mind you, but that was the most prominent.My exploits was also retold in video game form, even visitingthe city of Eden in search for Yuria.Want to know why Hokuto Shinken is the ultimate style? I'll show you, troper.100% Heroism Rating: My exploits in the wasteland have earned both praise and respect, as I fight to protect the weak.All-Loving Hero: It's true that while I show compassion to even some of my enemies, I am not beyond ending themshould they are beyond redemption.And the Adventure Continues: Even now, I protect the innocent in any way I can.Badass in Distress: If I end up fighting someone the likes of Souther for example, I would lose the first round and end up having to be rescued. Sadly, when people rescue me, some of them die.Bad Powers, Good People: Hokuto Shinken is indeed an assassin's art, my personality is anything but.I am kind and compassionate to those who know me. If you're a villain...say your prayers.Bare-Fisted Monk: I prefer to fight barehanded. But I can use melee weapons if needed, preferring a pair of nunchucks.Bash Brothers: Once I cleared things up with Rei in regards to Jagi kidnapping his sister and not me, we made quite the formidable team.Battle Strip: Whenever I use theTenry\u016b Koky\u016b H\u014d(Art of Dragon's Breathing), it destroys my jacket and shirt.Berserk Button:Like to torture and kill those weaker than you? Expect a housecall from me.Exploit and abuse childrenand women? You're condemned to die in more ways than one.Pretend to know anything of Hokuto Shinken? I shall show youtrueHokuto Shinken.Big Brother Worship: I always admired Raoh, untilhe became a warlord. I admitted as such to my brother in our final fight. I still feel this way for Toki, of course.Big Good: Of course.Black Comedy: You thoughtDeadpoolwas bad? You should see what I do to bandits who try and kill me.Boss Subtitles: One of my many titles isThe Savior Of The Post-Apocalyptic World.Bruce Lee Clone/No Celebrities Were Harmed:Kind of stating the obvious, troper.Bruiser with a Soft Center: What drew Yuria to me wasmy gentle heart and the will to help others.Bullying a Dragon: You think that by now that bandits and thugs would stop and rethink about their lot in life instead ofmaking me angry.Cain and Abel: Jagi is the Cain to my Abel.My actual blood brother Hyou was also the Cain to my Abel when he was driven mad by Hokuto Ryuken.Catchphrase: Be it in either English or Japanese, my favorite quote consists offour simple words:Omae wa m\u014d shindeiru(You Are Already Dead)Charles Atlas Superpower: I had to train my ass off in order to get to where I am at. Toki, on the other hand was the prodigy and a shoe-in for the title of successor before his illness forced him out of the running.Cool Horse: Kokuoh, Raoh's elephant-sized stallion, of which I accquired after his passing.Cool Uncle: Ryu certainly thought so.Crazy-Prepared:Hokuto Shinken has techniques for just about any given situation. Case in point:Tenry\u016b Koky\u016b H\u014d(Art of Dragon's Breathing): A normal human can only use up to 30 percent of his/her body's potential.This technique allows me to draw upon the remaining 70 percent.Hyakuretsu Ken(Hundred Crack Fist): My signature technique, in which I strike all 708 pressure points. The more destructive version is known as theSenjukai Ken(Thousand Hand Destruction Fist)Nishi Shink\u016b Ha(Two Finger Air Snatch): Did you fire an arrow or throw a knife at me? I'll catch it in between my index and middle finger and kindly return it, point-first.Zankai Ken(Remorse Fist): I strike the pressure point \"T\u014di\", which leaves my victims (like Spade) with only 3 seconds (or 7 in the Anime) to live after I set them free.Use that short time window to think about your sins before your whole body is split in half vertically and explodes!J\u016b Hazan(Soft Breaking Slash): With a flurry of kicks, I movedMr. Heart's fat away in order to give him a deadly punch that caused him toburst like a balloon. YourKevlardisno good for defending against Hokuto Shinken!J\u016bji Zan(Cross Slash): This is the technique I used to defeatShin; but in fact,he died by commiting suicide.Despite our rivalry,I buried him honorably because he loved the same woman I did (Yuria).Zankai Sekiho Ken(Burden of Regret Walk Fist): By striking the point known as Shitsugen, the person affected will walk backwards, unable to stop. Very dangerous if you're near a cliff... or in Amiba's case, the edge of a high-rise -he fell to his death!TenhaKassatsu(Heaven Breaking Impalement): It was how I was able to not only counter Souther's Tensh\u014d J\u016bji H\u014d (Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix), but it was also how I discovered Souther's inverted pressure points.Uj\u014dM\u014dsh\u014d Ha(Fierce Flying Smash): With this technique, I defeated Souther; but although he died painlessly,his pyramid was destroyed under the weight of Shu's grieving spirit.Even if you have dextrocardia,that doesn't make me vulnerable to an untimely death!Seiei K\u014d(Sobering Sharp Hole): By tapping the pressure point Ryugan, it makes the person's body feel like a bundle of raw nerves, causing pain at the slightest touch.Mus\u014d Tensei(Enlightened Transmigration): This is Hokuto Shinken's ultimate technique, unlocked only by embracing true sorrow. It allows me to be immune to attacks and to use the techniques of past opponents.Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much my default expression.Death Glare: Statistically speaking, if a mook finds himself being stared down by me, his last wordsbefore dying is eitherNani?orHIDEBU!Determinator: Nothing will stop me from doing what's right.Does Not Like Guns: Firearms...so uncivilized. I prefer either a melee weapon or my bare hands.The Dreaded: Only to those who prey upon the weak. My name alone can make a bad guy rethink challenging me.Emotional Bruiser: Manly? Yes. Sensitive? Also, yes.The Fettered: When it comes to my morals and my beliefs, I will not budge. There is no compromise when it comes to that.Fingerpoke Of Doom: The whole aspect of Hokuto Shinken. A simple tap to a single pressure point will end you, troper. For example, should I tap the hidden point known as Gakuch\u016b, your head would cave in and explode.Fountain of Expies: It appears I have inspired a group of imitators. FromJohnathan Joestar and his direct and indirect descendantstoa hunter of rare foodstoa wrongfully imprisoned man battling his way through a world even more hellish than mine is.There's even a doctor that has my appearance, though he's more closer to my brother Toki in terms of healing people.Friend to All Children: As an orphan before Ryuken took me in, I have a soft spot for children.Harming a childis a very quick wayto make me feel disrespected.Friend to All Living Things: I refuse to harm animals. Granted that the exception I made was that pack of wolves, but in my defense, I was left half-dead by Shin.Genius Bruiser: Ryuken was a firm believer that training the mind was just as important as training the body. I am quite knowledgeable in mythology and religion.Genre Savvy: Seriously?Feigning surrender,playing deadorbegging for mercynever works on me. It only makes villains' deaths bloodier and more gruesome!Glowing Eyes of Doom: If my eyes arean evil shade of crimson, then too bad. You just disrespected me.Good Is Not Soft: The innocent, weak and kind hearted deserve care and kindness. I will show as much as I can. But to those who relish in evil, I shall show no mercy.The Greatest Style: Let me say it again: Hokuto Shinken is invincible!Healing Hands: Hokuto Shinken can heal as well as harm. Although Toki was much better at the former than I ever was. Either way,I can cure various ailments, including muteness and blindness.The Hero: I do what I do not for recognition or for honor. The wasteland is a brutal and unforgiving place.People need something to believe in.Heroic BSoD: Yuria. Even now, I still miss her. We spent several years in peace until death took her.For a time, I was severely depressed following her death.Heroic Build:The first of the Shonen heroeswith a physique that could rival even a career bodybuilder.Hero with Bad Publicity: Both Boss Fang and Jagi are guilty of this trope, moreso with Jagi. That stopped once I dealt with Jagi once and for all.Hitman with a Heart: Hokuto Shinken is an assassin's art, but I am no assassin.Honor Before Reason: Sometimes, it gets me into trouble when I spare someone's life who just moments ago was trying to kill me. They won't get a second chance if they squander my generosity.Hurting Hero: Lesser men would have broken should they went through what I have went through. But that doesn't stop me in the least.I Have Many Names:The Man With The Seven Scars,The Savior Of Century's End, andThe Savior Of The Post-Apocalyptic World. Take your pick.Identical Grandson: Well, try Identical Nephew to my uncle, Kenshiro Kasumi, the 62nd successor to Hokuto Shinken. Rumor has it that I am his reincarnation, if they are indeed valid.Implacable Man: Are you running away from me? I'll find you. Did you drop a high-rise on me? I'll shrug it off. Did you leave me half-dead?Then you don't deserve to live any longer!In-Series Nickname: My friends usually call me Ken.Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Nothing will stop me from doing what is right.It Never Gets Any Easier: With every bandit and warlord I kill, it really doesn't get any easier. I bear that sadness as a burden. It keeps me focused.Lightning Bruiser: While not the fastest per se, my strength makes up for my lack of speed.Manly Tears: There is no shame in crying.Made of Iron: Those seven scars on my chest? Courtesy of Shinsticking his finger in my chest. Melee weapons to the face? Giant stone pillar? The occasional sucker punch?Might be a bit of bleeding, but I will be slightly annoyed.Nice Guy: I'm pretty affable to be around... as long as you're one of the good guys.Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: I spared Jagi in our first encounter, which led him to being the catalyst of all of my problems along with several others. On the second fight, I held no such compunctions.Through some cruel, sick, diabolical twist of fate, I sent Amiiba to an unsuspecting new world rather than the Hell he so justly deserves. I can only hope the inhabitants there see his true nature.Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Want to know how I ended up in the race for the successor? Raoh taught me Kung Fu, which led me in joining the race.One-Man Army: So you brought an army to face me? Honestly, you should have brought more men.Power Copying: Thanks toSueishin, I can learn another's techniques just byfighting or observing them.I used Nanto Seiken techniques against Shew and Toki's and Rei's techniques against Raoh.Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: Before the ass-kicking ensues, I deliver these to my enemies.Rejected Apology: Most of the time, I tend toleave my enemies behind to die whenever they cry for forgiveness.Right Makes Might: My skills in Hokuto Shinken is only matched bymy desire to do what is rightand tonever give up.Shipper on Deck: Bat and Lin make a nice couple. Its one of the reasons why I pushed the both of them together.Single-Target Sexuality: I had my choice of women. But Yuria is the only woman that I truly loved.Sleeves Are for Wimps: What good are sleeves for in the wasteland? I prefer to go sleeveless.The Stoic: I look serious, but not most of the time. If I'm furious, then you'd probably wish I was stoic.Think Nothing of It: Why do I do what I do without demanding anything in return, aside from food and eater should I truly need it? It's the right thing to do.Took a Level in Badass: After my loss to Shin, I spent the better part of the year training so that a repeat would not happen again when I challenged him yet again.Tragic Hero: One of the reasons why I never settled down following Yuria's death is because I lose the people I care about. Wherever the master of Hokuto Shinken treads, death usually follows.Trash Talk: Most of the time, I'm pretty deadpan in my delivery, but the trope still qualifies.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: I oncecame acrossthis duo ofJotaro and his grandfather, Joseph Joestar.Needlessly, I gave Jotaro a time-delayed death and left his grandfather to grieve over his broken body.Unexpected Successor: I beat out my other brothers to become the 64th successor to Hokuto Shinken.Unstoppable Rage:Dont. Make. Me. Mad.Seriously, don't.When He Smiles: Mostly whenever children are around. Despite everything that has happened with the world, children are still innocent.Wide-Eyed Idealist: It is surprising that I am not like the warlords and banditsout in the wasteland, where survivial of the fittest is the law of the land."} {"text": "\"Witches eat weak humans. And in turn, we eat those witches. It's the basic rule of this world.\"(This page is best read inAi Nonaka's orLauren Landa's voice.)*munch* *munch*Hmm? Who the hell are you?Piss off!...What? You're here to ask me aboutme? Hmph! Why the hell should I tell you about things I don't want you to hear?*crack**munch*So you're a fan ofthat Madoka showthat I'm from starrin' that rookie Sayaka's pinkheaded friend? Wait, you're watching that show forHomuraand not forME?! Well, I do respect her, but I don't get why you're findin' her more cool and badass than yours truly. After all,I'mthe only one who does things right in this world when it comes to being a magical girl.*crunch crunch*Huh? What's this? I actually have FANS? Fans who actually love me forbeingwhoIam?Andwhat Iend updoing eventually?*stops eating for a second*...Okay, if you really want to hear about me, I'll tell you, but make it quick. I'm a veteran magical girl, but I don't do what I do to help others. The only way I do things is to help myself. Like when I told that rookie Sayaka that it's best to let a familiar eat a few more humans to become a witch so you can get a Grief Seed from slaying it. And I do have a good reason for this, but I don't feel like telling you right now. And don't you ask! Or if you reallydocare about me enough to find out, then you'd read the rest of the page and highlight all the spoilers. But don't do it until you've finished watching the show!Or I WILL kill you.My weapon is a halberd that can separate into chained-together segments. Best thing for slaying witches with, since it's got range and flexibility too, and doubles as achain-rope-thingthat I can trap things with.*snarf*So there's my past, but I already told you what I think of tellin' you that. If you're nice enough to me, I'll letcha read on. Anyway, I made a contract with Kyubey to become a magical girl. (You'll find out why). I go around town slaying witchesjust because I can, mostly to collect their Grief Seeds. Then one day, some rookie magical girl Sayaka started infringin' onmyterritory (which I inherited frommy old friendMami), and everything changed from there. (Again.) So I meet Sayaka and her pinkheaded friend and fight them to the death, until I actuallydokill her, somehow. And then Kyubey reveals the truth -magical girls are justzombies, basically. So,as a zombie, I try to make the most of my life, once again.I start helping Homura and the others, helping to plan an attack onWalpurgisnachtand stuff. Then I watch poor Sayaka break down, until finally, she becomeseven more of a wreck than I wasand turns into a witch. I have no choice then but to protect Homura and pinkhead (who I now befriend and know as Madoka), and sacrifice myself to go down with Sayaka.But I'mBack from the Deadafter Madoka saves the day by wishing all witches out of existence, fightin' wraiths like nobody's business alongside Homura and Mami.InPuella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion, I'm back. And I go to school or somethin'.It's because I become trapped in some dream world that Homura thought up where we sappily fight as the \"Puella Magi Holy Quintet\" or some shit like that like some moeshitSailor Moonshow. Here, IthinkI'm livin' a normal happy life, but it turns out that we're trapped in Homura's witch labyrinth and Mami and I got brainwashed, something (to my credit) I helped her to find out. On the plus side, I'm livin' with Sayaka...Not that I enjoy it or anything!There's alsothat spinoff manga where I don't appear much, but you don't really care about that, do you? What youdocare about isthat other spinoffwith my apprentice, Yuma Chitose. Mami and I appear a lot more in that one, and I get to show my softer side and take in Yuma as her guardian, just like I did with my sister before that nasty shit happened. And there'sthat ''other'' spinoff, where yours truly gets to have another chance withmy old sempai Mami. It doesn't end well.*munch*So what are you here for, huh? The tropes? Okay, here they are. The page is still a work in progress, so you can add your own, but make sure they don't say anything bad about me!Except if they're about things I want to leave behind....*hands you an apple*Want one?And oh yeah, don't youdareconfuse me withthat German girlwho thinks she's so much better than me with her giant robot and crap!You say that I remind a lot of people about her?Who the hell cares?! *munch*Here are my tropes, dumbass:A Day in the Limelight: The first few chapters ofOriko Magicagive me ahugechance to show off my badasseryand my kindness towards kids.Another one about me is that drama CD and itsmanga. It's got Mami in it too.Anti-Hero:So afterI started to change my waysafter Kyubey's ugly truth instilled a smidge of sympathy in me for Sayaka, I became more of aKnight in Sour Armor. I tried to help her out - she shoulda listened to me and followed my selfish way of life - since otherwise she'd just have ended up hurting others, whichiswhat happened.Ax-Crazy: Initially, somewhat. Itismore fun to be that way.Back from the Dead:In theGrand Finale. Sayaka's pinkheaded friend Madoka revived me with her wish since I died fighting a witch.Badass Adorable: Badass, check. Adorable, check. You can probably say that about any of the other Puella Magi, but I embody the best of both.*crunch*Badass Decay: Apparently, according to theRebellionmovie,based on my ideals, I become an ordinary schoolgirl in Homura's dream world who goes to school happily. I just fight with the team as a supportin' member, with none of the badass qualities that made me awesomely twisted or sympathetic in the first place. Though this should be a good thing, it makes me less fearsome and competent than Sayaka, and I'm pretty much reduced to her sidekick... butthe perks of livin' together with her are great!And I bet a lot of you guys (and girls)wanted to see me in that school uniform too, you naughty people.Bash Sisters: I fight this way with Sayaka inRebellion,and even get her witch form to use a giant version of my spear. Though I don't get ta go berserk on everything, it still isawesome.Berserk Button: Don't ever waste food in my presence or IWILLkill you.Better to Die than Be Killed:After finding out the wholeAwful Truthand unable to save Witch!Sayaka, I basically had two choices: To destroy her Soul Gem in a final attack to put Sayaka out of her misery and die together, or win the fight the usual way and still become a Witch sooner or later and be killed by a Mahou Shoujo and die alone. I wanted to atone for my past, so guess which one I picked? I said I wanted toatone, you moron.Big Damn Heroes: I do this a lot, but don't take it personally. What pisses me off is when other people do this tome, like whenHomura saved Sayaka from me. But then I saved Sayaka from Elsa Maria, and againfrom a very pissed-off Homura. And then I top it off by protecting Madoka and Homura's escape from Witch!Sayaka... By goin' out with a bang.So give me some credit here.Big Eater: Hey, you'd have a huge thing for devouring any food too if yougrew up impoverished with little to eat! I just appreciate food more than others.Blood Knight: I've already got enough grief seeds on hand to last a freakin' lifetime. But I like fighting, and I'm damn good at it, so nowadays I pretty much just kill witches for the fun.Calling Your Attacks: I don't do this in the anime, butin the third drama CD,Mami insists on callin' myDoppelg\u00e4nger Attack\"Rossa Fantasma\" - literally \"Red Phantom\".I actuallydosay it once during battle, but find it freakin' hilarious since I really can't take it seriously. Did it again during 'Rebellion' when we were all fighting the Nightmare: 'chain barrier' or some shit like that?Catchphrase: If ya didn't get the hint, I often ask people \"You want some?\" (\"Kuu kai?\"in Japanese) when offering 'em some of my food. Give it back if you don't want it, I can take 'no' for an answer, but don't youDAREfucking waste it.Chekhov's Gunman: So I appear in the title and credits sequences before actually appearing in the series. Probably because the nice guys who write my story would be too ashamed to put me in the series when it's pretendin' to be all sunshine and rainbows.I might be the magical girl that Kyubey and Mami talk about in Episode 3, who made a wish for someone else.This is all but confirmed in thethird drama CD.Cluster F-Bomb/Obligatory Swearing: Fuck yes. At least in some translations.Curb-Stomp Battle: I showed Sayaka how much of a newbie she was by thrashing her sorry ass with my superior skills and power in our first encounter! Hell of a lot of fight in her, though...little moron just wouldn't stay down.Cute Little Fangs: Ya they're cute! Look at 'em!Cynicism Catalyst:I made a shortsighted wish to bring followers to my father's congregation. When he realized what was going on, he killed the rest of the family. After this, I... I couldn't... so I decided not to help others again. From then on, I'd work for myself and only myself.Dark Action Girl: Well, fuckingduh. Y'think I'm just some boring, goody-goodyAction Girlwannabe like that Sayaka rookie?Alright, I get a little less dark later, but...Dark and Troubled Past: Let me explain.My father was a priest, but they excommunicated him for \"heresy\" and my family fell in poverty as he couldn't support us anymore. So I used my wish to get more followers for him...but when he found out it was just magic and not his ideas and words, he went crazy and killed himself and the entire family, leaving me as the only survivor...Darker and Edgier: Than the other main characters. Which makes mecoolerby default.Death Equals Redemption: I finally decided tochange my ways(slowly), first after realizing thatMagical Girlsare just zombies, and that I might as well be doin' something toremedythis situation, even a little. Finally, I made aHeroic Sacrificeto put the bewitched Sayakaout of her misery. I even get my finalmoment of clarity, where I realize thatI've always been wanting to protect someone.Depower/Doppelg\u00e4nger Attack: I used to be able to createillusory copies of myself, kinda like that stupidNarutokid, but I lost this powerwhen my family died. It's all inthe third drama CD.Despair Event Horizon:After becoming the sole survivor of aPater Familicidecommitted by my father. But after Kyubey lets slip theAwful Truth, I get more and more of my humanity back, subverting this.However, in the PSP game, if you're Homura, you'd better not defeat Oktavia before I can save what's left of Sayaka, or you might damn me to becoming a witch myself - a witch called Ophelia.Died Happily Ever After:It was going to be eventual fate, following Madoka's wish. Like Mami, it wasn't supposed to happen until after Homura reunited with Madoka in Heaven...but then Homuragot her own ideas.Now I don't know what will happen.Dying Curse:In the PSP game, if you're Homura and you dare kill that idiot Sayaka before I at least have chance to talk to her, I'll have nothing to care about, and I'll curse everything on earth before I become a witch and tear you apart! Although in one of the routes, where Mami is still alive, I will be able to stop myself from becoming a witch and possibly help you fight Walpurgisnacht despite Sayaka's death.Elegant Gothic Lolita: I choose an outfit kinda like this for my fighting outfit, kind of a cross between this andShowgirl Skirt.Evil Redhead: Get this through your head, dumbass.Red is a cool, evil color. I have red hair. Black is also a cool, evil color, and Homura has black hair, but my hair color is way more unique.Though in her case, it makes sense later.Evil Sounds Deep: My voice wasn't always this sexy. Believe it or not, I had a pretty typical girly voice. Well before all that shit happened anyway. Though it ain't deep likeDarth Vader(a pile of pretentious black melodramatic shit compared tohis much crazier predecessor- hint, hint), it's still pretty friggin deeper than it used to be.Expy: So I'm kinda a cross betweenthat Asuka girl everyone talks aboutandthat Emile guy from Reach(PLAY THAT GAME, IT'S FUCKING AWESOME), with a touch ofDarth Maul.Like Asuka, I'm an abrasive redhead who wields a lance, andmy father killed himself just like Asuka's mother did.The real kicker here is thatAsuka's mom's name is also Kyoko. Heh.Like Emile, I'm aBlood Knight,Ax-Crazy,Sociopathic Hero, aPsycho for Hirewho cares nothing more than killing enemies, and I serve asThe LancerandToken Evil Teammateof the five Puella Magi. So in other words, I'm the best character on the show (in my humble opinion).Hell, if you didn't get the hint above (and you must be a complete moron to not have gotten it), I'm also basically asexier and prettierDarth Maulbefore myHeel\u2013Face Turn. We both use red (best color!) as our primary color, wield a red-bladed polearm, and areAxe-CrazyBlood Knightshell-bent on killing anything in our path, be it Jedi or witches and rival Puella Magi.Face Death with Dignity:I pray to God just before I pass away, to tell him how my life sucked and, for once, how I'd like to have a happy dream...Fallen Heroine: I used to be aChurch Militant, sort of. But then I learned how stupid heroism is.But then Sayaka broke and I couldn't help just feeling a bit sorry for her, leading me to aHeel\u2013Face Turn.Fiery Redhead: If it wasn't obvious from the red hair, I'm abrasive and hotheaded. Don't try to change me or I'll kill you.Freudian Excuse: Wonder why I'm always eating? It's becausemy family constantly starved after my father was excommunicated for \"heresy\", and we barely got enough to eat. In the manga, you even learn that I learned to punish people for wasting food from my mother. And of course, I'm only a selfishJerkassbecausemy unselfish wish led tomy maddened dadkilling my whole familyexcept for me.Friend to All Children: Yeah, I know, I'm a complete jerk bordering on evil, but Idohave a soft spot for kids, as seen inPuella Magi Madoka Magica PortableandOriko Magica. I wonder what happened to Yuma\u2026Headless Horsewoman:Apparently, my witch form simply has a flame in place of where the head is. Dear God, theIrony...noteShouldn't that beMami'switch form?Heel\u2013Face Turn: Complete with a near-Precision Bitch Strikeas soon asKyubey lets slip theAwful Truth.From then on, I decided toprevent my friends from suffering Sayaka's fate, to the point where I shatter my own Soul Gem after evacuating Homura and Madoka from the vicinity, so they don't get caught in the resulting blast that kills both me and and Sayaka.Heroes Gone Fishing: Homura once meets up with me when I'm playin'Dog Drug Reinforcement.Heroic Sacrifice:I do this toMercy KillSayaka, also so she doesn't have to die alone.InThe Different Story, I use Oktavia's Grief Seed to cleanse Mami's Soul Gem, but this leaves me without another one to use on herself, and I die while fighting another Witch later.I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: What?! Who put this on here?! I ain't goin' home with nobody, ya sick bastards! I...what's this? You say you'll feed me endlessly? Hmm.\"I Know You're in There Somewhere\" Fight: Itryto do this with Madoka's helpin a desperate attempt to save Sayaka after she turns into a Witch. It fails and Ihave to kill Sayakaalong with myself.Image Song: \"And I'm Home\", shared with Sayaka. It is a sad song, so they used it as the ending for the episode whereI sacrifice herself to save her, which fits the theme. Let's sing along, everyone!Sabitsuita kokoro, otomonai sekai, nani o miteruno? Matane o ieru kao o sagasuyo...Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:In the manga, during the fight with Oktavia von Seckendorff.Ironic Echo:When I first encountered Oktavia (Sayaka's witch form), I got rescued by Homura because I was carrying Sayaka (or was it just her corpse?) and had no way to defend myself. When I refused to drop Sayaka, Homura called her a hindrance. Duringour futile attempt to bring Sayaka back from being a witch, after getting injured I leave an unconscious Madoka to Homura, before telling them to leave because Homura would not be able to fight with a hindrance like me, before making theHeroic Sacrifice.Irony: My father was a religious man, and I fought witches in secret, but he accusedmeof being one. And instead of killing me for it, he burned himself, my mother and my younger sister, along with the church.It's All About Me: Of course! Magical girls should only use powers for their own ends, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron and doing themselves in. But to be honest,I told Sayaka this for her own good, and then I tried to help her against a witch. It's an interesting dichotomy, to say the least.Jerkass:*snarf*What, were you expectin' menotto be one? Go to hell. Seriously, I suggested letting familiars eat other worthless humans to become full-fledged witches and even advised to Sayaka to break her lover's body to keep a leash on that guy.Hidden Heart of Gold: Though I'm not completely heartless, as Sayaka can attest.Kleptomaniac Hero: Don't ask where I get my food!Knight of Cerebus: Whilethat witch who ate Mamidid most of the work, the series kept getting darker after I showed up. Probably because I was the only one who didn't care about teamwork and friendship and that crap and just left people to die,at first.Lady in Red: Red hair, red shoes, dress, Soul Gem, red marks on my spear...my Magical Girl form's pretty damn red. I try to mix it up a bit off-duty, though.Lady Swears A Lot: If you haven't gathered (in other words, if you've got shit for brains), my language is quite filthy. At best, my Japanese is inappropriately masculine, whichI'm proud of.*slurp*At my worst though...The Lancer: I act like this to Homura. Also literally, because of my weapon, dumbass.Leitmotif:\"Anima mala\", which means \"Evil Soul\". The name is totallybadassand the theme is weird and menacing, which suits me perfectly. Do I deserve any less? Oh, and that tribal remix it got for\"Rebellion?\"Kickass.In the video game based on our little group, I geta different one, and it's just as rocking and badass as I am! It's called \"Prex\" - \"Prayer\". Not that I would ever actually pray.Father believed in God, and how was he rewarded for his faith?Magical Girl: One of the bestfuckingexamples,period.Meaningful Name: My name means 'apricot' , whilemy sisters name, 'Momo' meant 'peach'. Apricots apparently symbolize female beauty, which I have. It's also a symbol of strength achieved through struggles with adversity.And also, 'Sakura' is another name for the cherry blossom, which represent the transcience of life. Very fitting if you consider mybackstory.Our Zombies Are Different:What I apparently am, too. Kyubey shocked me at first with it, but meh, I don't really care much.noteOOC: This trope's presence on this page is based on what Kyoko thinks of magical girls as, rather than a genuine entry applying to her.Our Liches Are Different:Well, we use magic and we do haveSoul Jars, after all.A bit messed up, but still kinda cool at the same time, really.It's what comes after that's really not cool.Pet the Dog: If you thought I was a total bitch,thinkagain...dumbass.Psycho for Hire: Initially.Ship Tease: I might havea crush onSayaka...andMamiDon't tell anyone or I'll kill you!Heroes Want Redheads: Invertedat least in Sayaka's case! Though the shippers do justice to our \"relationship\". I love readin' the things they come up with!Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: I didn't get shown in any of the official art until the show started airing. Back when I popped up in the opening, nobody knew who I was! Friggin' marketers...Single Tear: Wh-NO! HUH? NO! You're talking about that fight againstHomura's witch, right? That was SWEAT, dumbass! I was fighting and...you know what? Screw it. I admit it. Sayaka's words...man, they got me righthere, ya know?B-but it's not like we are some lesbos you damn idiots! I mean lots of magical girls hold hands sometimes, often inmore pervy circumstances!And it doesn't mean they want to screw each other in bed!Social Darwinist: Ever heard about the food chain? You should have learned about it in school. Witches eat weak humans. And in turn, we eat those witches. It's the basic rule of this world.Spell My Name with an S: \"Kyoko\", \"Kyouko\" and \"Ky\u014dko\" are all technically correct, though most officialromanji-thingsuse \"Kyoko\". Personally, I just use \"\u674f\u5b50\".Tempting Apple: When I'm explaining my backstory, I munch on a bag of apples (fuckin' Sayaka almost wasted one).The symbolismisprobably intentional.Tomboy: Who needs all that girly crap? Meh.*munch munch*Tomboy and Girly Girl: To Mami's Girly Girl.Tomboyish Ponytail: Makes me look like fellow bad-ass tomboyTouko, who youWcDonalds-eating waito piggu gaijins probably know asHilda(SHUT THE FUCK UP,4KIDS!)Tomboy with a Girly Streak: OK, I'll admit to using the rather feminine \"atashi\" in the first person, but that's simply a carryover from before I lost my family! Sayaka's got the bigger girly streak! Mine's no bigger thana gnat's wing, I'll have you know!Trademark Favorite Food: Ooh, where to begin? I like Apples, andRocky... fuck, who cares? I like them all.Villain Song:Nope, sadly.As much fun as it would have been for me to get one, myImage Songduet with Sayaka applies to after I decided to be not-so-nasty.Zettai Ryouiki: Apparently myMagical Girloutfit ranks Grade B or something silly like that.*grabs the apple you just accidentally dropped andlifts you by the neck*You waste food, I kill you. Now go away and read aboutPuella Magi Madoka Magica."} {"text": "Could you sign some papers?noteDon't worry,not all of you have to sign them.\"I will destroy all evil and become god of the new world!\"\u2014 Me stating what I just did.(This page is best read in eitherMamoru Miyano,Brad Swaileor Manuel Campuzano's voice.)Hello, I'm Light Yagami, genius model student, star athlete and absolutelady-killer(Even if I'm not falling head over heels for them.) I am also most certainlyNOT Kira.I assure you.Fine, considering you can't really do much to stop me, I'll tell you the truth. I am Kira, and I am also theGod of the New World. I was sick and tired of the constant violence and crime reported constantly, so upon finding the Death Note, I decided to take things into my own hands. That is to say,to kill every last major criminal, so they can never harm a soul again,and to establish aworld of only kind, virtuous people.Sadly, I was met with opposition early on in my attempts, and it was bymy own father!when acertain detectivenamed L announced that he was trying to find me and stop my righteous mission on live television, I wrote down his name in the Death Note, only for it to turn out that it had been a body double the real L was using to find my location. I made it my sworn mission that day to kill L, andtake downanyonewho stands in my way.Any day now, my justice will come for you,detective.Tropes Associated With Me:Adaptational Heroism: The version of me in the American live-action adaptation had several standards and showed remorse when he killed someone who didn\u2019t need to die. He ended up only wanting the Death Note to keep it away from someone worse. Sounds more noble,but everyone knows he is nowhere near as smart as I am(and neither was another version of me below). I mean, I just stick to the heart attacks that the Death Note normally causes.He still ends up going for a few more...gruesome things.My version fromthe live-action TV seriesgenuinely cares for Misa and his family, and goes out of his way to save people with the Death Note. Not that I don't do that, but he does it a bit more directly.He's still not as smart as I am, given that the American version might have been based on him, but I suppose he did his best.My anime counterpart was a bit moreremorsefulfor some of the more... regrettable things he ended up having to do.I like to think that this helps explain me a lot better.Adaptational Villainy: My other film version, on the other hand, apparently killed one of my random girlfriends and attempted to kill my father. I'm going to do whatever it takes, but that's a little too far. This clearly proves I could have been much worse than you people already believe me to be.Because let's be honest,not everything about me is going to be accurate.Antagonist in Mourning: It was rather boring without L around, and those two little babies could hardly match him. Sadly, I got unlucky.Anti-Hero: What the idiots on this website claim I was before I \"Jumped Off The Slippery Slope.\" Anti-what?Anti-Villain: Subverted, becauseI'm not a villain.A God Am I: Correct. And I have my picture on the page to prove it.Ambiguously Gay: My behavior around L has been the starting point of many a fan-fic. I don't really like girls, but I could just be Asexual. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter right now. I havehigher callings.Asshole Victim: My death in the Manga is rather gruesome, but despite this trope name, it was fully undeserved.Somehow even less so in the other versions.Badass Adorable: I was drawn like a Disney character early on. Subverted later when I age, but that can only make youwiser, right?Berserk Button: DO NOT CALL ME EVIL! I AM JUSTICE!Black-and-White Insanity: I'm good. I will protect the innocent and start a utopian society, but sadly, some people aren't keen on it. If they aren't keen on what is clearly the best outcome, chances are they're evil.Cessation of Existence: What happened to me, assuming I didn't become a Shinigami. For those who truly know me, you'd know that I obviously wouldn't tell which of these happened.The Chessmaster: I managed to out-smart the worlds greatest detective and that says alot about my superior intellect!Complete Monster:No, of course not.People on this site like to group me with thatWhite-Haired rapist twinkas a character who starts out sympathetic and becomes this later into the story, but they're just unfairly biased (Not to mention thatI really wouldn'tgo that far).Just look at some of the other versions of me I mentioned above.These dolts also claim my film adaption is a more concrete version for openly scheming to kill my father, but again, they're wrong.Not that I don't prefer other versions of me instead.As well as my version inthe musical. Just like before, wrong.Determinator: L says \"Childish and hates to lose.\" I say \"Stylish and in the mood.\"Draco in Leather Pants: I'm not too pleased about the implications of the label, but it's good to know there are people who worship me.Dying Moment of Awesome:You betcha!I think my favorite is whenI manage to escape, looking back on how this all started before finding a place to rest and hide. So that by the the time they find me, they're already too late.I'll even give my TV counterpart some credit. Setting the warehouse on fire did help everyone back off, even though getting burned alongside the Death Notes wasn't part of the plan, but he was never as smart as I usually am anyway. You at least have to appreciatehow that might have been the most determined I was to survive.Establishing Character Moment: My first scene in the anime has me spacing out in class, but still able to flawlessly translate a book passage when called on by the teacher. On my way to my next class, I'm moping about the constant crime broadcast on the news, declaring in sync with the Shinigami Ryuk thatthis whole world is rotten. That's how you know I'm super intelligent and desperate to change the world for the better, and therefore the ideal recipient of the Death Note.Even Evil Has Loved Ones:I told you not to call me evil, didn't I?I truly loved my family, though. Sad I wasgoing to have to kill them,but I thankfully didn't have to.Even Evil Has Standards: Okay,this at least can help prove I'm not really evil. To start, killing reformed and minor criminals was a bit too far, Mikami.Evil Makes You Ugly: I feel like the \"ugly\" partis what needs to be addressed here more. Sure,it probably doesn't look good for me to get so worked up at times, but still,it's not much compared to how this trope usually works.Fanon Discontinuity: A lot of my adoring fans would like to pretend that the 2nd part of the series, where I made severalsevere mess-ups, become abit too indiscerning in my targets,(To the point that you idiots have given me the \"honour\" of being considered one of a very fewComplete Monsterprotagonists), and died not a result of my own actions, butone of my lackies screwing up randomlynever happened.Faux Affably Evil: I have to be polite, no matter how hard I want to strangle L. Besides, why would Ineedto when the Death Note could let me kill him without even being near him?Gambit Roulette: I remember when this trope was named after me.Knight Templar: I am a brave hero, destined to rule the world, and if you get in my way, I will kill you.Light Is Not Good: That's not funny.I know it doesn't actually refer to me in particular, but still.Magnificent Bastard: I was listed as one at one point. Those in charge of the trope removed mebecause they realized I was the hero.Although my version inJump Forceis listed as one. Now L is listed as one instead,and so is the next person Ryuk sent a Death Note.Memory Gambit: I had to surrender ownership of the Death Note, and by extension my memories of being Kira, for a while to get L off my trail.Motive Decay: Fear of getting caught tends to make you forget your goals, but I assure you I will remove all criminals. And somelazy people,but not all of them.Mundane Made Awesome: Credit where it's due, these people have pointed to me as the defining example of this.Narcissist: I'm not afraid to boast, but it's certainly not atthatlevel. After all, I am a god..Never Hurt an Innocent: I never would've had to kill anyone who wasn't a criminal if L didn't try to get in my way.Nice Guy: What I was before I got the Death Note, andI still am.Nightmare Fetishist: You Shinigami are so cute!Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: I will become god of the new world! Wait,what was the first part? Oh, right. Making the new world itself.Obliviously Evil: What do you mean I shouldn't kill people? They're evil! They deserve it!Repressive, but Efficient: Sure, you might have to live under the decree of a \"Delusional narcissistic teenage boy with daddy issues\" (Rude, TV Tropes,) but the crime rate has reduced to 1/4 the previous level, and there's no wars!Sadist: Okay, now I know the guys on this site are evil. How am I supposed to get the world to appreciate my genius if they aren't reminded of my great power?Took a Level in Jerkass: I admit, I might have gotten a bit coarser after L was dead, but sacrifices must be made. Right, Takada?Took a Level in Kindness: I was forced to return to my pre-note state to avoid detection, but I was just as nice as ever.Smug Snake: I am agenius AND often hatch brilliant plans, but this wiki still considers me to be a higher-functioning just because Iget rightfully angry when people say CLEARLY false thingsanddon't think those dolts could somehow beat me.What,because I haven't had a real challenge in years?The Sociopath: No way!I care about people, I just don't care if I have to kill them!Ugly Hero, Good-Looking Villain: Hey, who are you calling ugly?!

Wait a second!Utopia Justifies the Means: I will become the god of a new world full of kind, honest, and hardworking individuals.Villain Protagonist:I'm about as far as you can get from it.\"Well Done, Son\" Guy: I'm stopping the bad people!

I am L, otherwise known as the mainheroof the seriesDeath Note, and am widely renowned as the world's greatest detective. I specialize in solving cases with seemingly unexplainable causes, usually resulting in homicide. Justice is my ultimate priority, and my main goal is to put an end to these miscreants' evil deeds.As one would suspect, being the greatest detective in the world can lead to some quite pleasant privileges. My caretaker always gives me first word when he learns of a case I may be interested in; and so, working on the Kira investigation was an inevitability, it was simply too big of an atrocity to overlook, and so became my main priority. L, as one could tell, is an alias, but it is but only one of many that I go by. No one knows my real name, outside of a select few including myself, not that that information would be of any use to you. That seems adequate for an introduction, I wouldn't want to leak any classified information. Just know that I am true justice, the perception of my intelligence is only measured by the audience's stupidity, and that I will prevail no matter what.Any day now, my justice will come for you,Kira.20% More Awesome: I only use statistics, say, about ten percent of the time. Hm... no, it's closer to five percent.Adaptational Attractiveness: Some sayKenichi Matsuyama, is more attractive than I. It's really no insult to me, rarely my face is seen by anyone other than Watari, in any case. I hear I have many fan-girls, though... likely as many as Kira.Besides, I'll let you know that I am very attractive, in my own way. I was even kissed by the suspect's girlfriend recently. Kissed on the cheek, 100% more than the majority of you can say.Adaptational Badass: In the films based on the investigation, Kira was not as lucky as he was in real life, being that he died before I did.Adaptational Dye-Job: In the anime based on the investigation, my hair is black, where in the cover art for the manga based on the investigation, my hair is depicted being brown. I'll let you decide which is true.Adaptational Heroism: I'm not so sure about the truth in this, I have always been rather heroic, the manga misrepresented me. What can one expect when following the perspective of a mass murderer? It doesn't bother me either way.Adaptational Villainy: In every depiction of myself ever put on screen or print, justice is all I care for.Admiring the Abomination: I only take on cases in which I have a personal interest in. Those of course are mostly cases which the FBI or any international equivalents would not be able to solve without my assistance.Allergic to Routine: I have very little to do locked up in a small room twenty-four-seven, but that is the only way I can expect to fully concentrate on the matters at hand.Alliterative Name: L, my alias, is just one name, so, by that logic one can argue that the first letters of the first name and last name are alliterative, simply because they are both one name.Alternate Continuity: In the movies based on the investigation, I outlive Light, but in the manga, and anime I am not quite as lucky.Ambiguous Disorder: There is nothing wrong with me, I just spend a lot of time alone. Social norms are pathetic and pointless constructs, and I'd much rather be comfortable than have everyone around me be.Ambiguously Bi: I don't really care for relationships, be they romantic or sexual. I am fine with friendships, however.Antagonist in Mourning: InL: change the WorLdI am portrayed as missing my adversary for some strange reason. I suppose it can be boiled down to artistic license... it's practically official fan-fiction, anyway.Anti-Hero:My methods may be considered a bit harsh to some, that is true. Though justice must be served no matter what the cost, I simplydo what is necessary.Awesomeness by Analysis: At the risk of sounding a bit humble, I'll admit, my neurological capabilities far surpass that of any average person.Back for the Finale: Turns out, you do come back after you die, in my case, as a ghost. Or possibly as aDying Dream; it's open to interpretation.Badass Boast: I am... Justice!Badass Bookworm: I'm a genius, and a prodigy. I am also skilled inCapoeira. This is because, well... when I'm not solving important cases, I dabble in break dancing to pass the time.Barefoot Loon: A matter of opinion, although I'm aware this is how many people perceive me.Batman Gambit: One of my signatures, it's the oldest trick in the book, and yet... they fall for it like moths to the flame.Becoming the Mask: About that... when I said Light was my first ever friend, that may or may not have been a lie. After all, even if he was my friend, I still had Watari first, and he is a great asset to me.Big Brother Instinct: I think that saying that I am a good mentor wouldn't be far from the truth.Big Eater: I am quite fond of cake and other sweets. Sugar keeps me alert with the little sleep I do get. I've found that despite my large calorie intake, I won't gain much weight due to my thought-powered high metabolism.Big Good: It goes without saying.Bish\u014dnen: Some say so.Big Sleep: When I died in the anime.Brilliant, but Lazy: Solving the toughest cases the world has ever known is enough reason to excuse my need for an occasional break in investigation.Bullying a Dragon: Something that must be done when my suspect has unexplained, possibly paranormal abilities. If I had any solid evidence, that would be preferable, but I mustdo what I can.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Cake is all I need to sustain consciousness for several days, and nights working a tough case.But Not Too Foreign: I'm mostly European in heritage, and slightly Asian. My birthplace, however, is classified. I did study in the UK for a while, and reside in Japan, but am a citizen of many countries, and that's all that needs to be revealed.Catchphrase: Well... I certainly am justice.The Chains of Commanding: I must never leave my house, nor reveal my name, nor show my face, unless I am making a special exception.The Chessmaster: I could play chess very well if I had a friend to play it with...Cloud Cuckoolander: Not at all. Hm... mmh. This cake is wonderful.Collector of the Strange: It's not necessarily a collection pers\u00e9, more of a set of allies, all of criminals that in exchange for their prison sentence, work for me instead.Color-Coded for Your Convenience: I am often depicted behind a blue filter.Confirmed Bachelor: I am in a quite fullfilling relationship with justice.Consummate Liar: I may stretch the truth from time to time, all in the name of the law.Cool Car: Watari escorts me around in a quite comfortable limo.Covert Pervert: I'm a... pervert? Certainly not! Sexual harassment is a serious offense, and I will take no admittance to these ridiculous allegations.Crazy-Prepared: It pays to prepare.Creepy Good: Creepy...?Creepy Monotone: Again with that word. I find my voice to be quite soothing.Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: It's a result of insomnia, and malnutrition, not genetics.Dance Battler: As I previously mentioned, I know some break-dance baced martial-arts.Dark and Troubled Past: That information is classified.Deadpan Snarker: Oh, yes, it takes a keen mind to think up the number of brilliant puns that I do.Dead Person Impersonation: Let's just say that many of those famed detectives that you may think now work in the shadows, are really just deceased, and heightened by me.Defective Detective: I think most would agree that I am quite the opposite.Deliberate Injury Gambit: I can take quite the beating, and a measly punch to the jaw is a small price to pay to open up an opportunity for a critical hit.Determinator: I absolutely HATE to lose...Deuteragonist: See Hero.Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: When I first communicated with Kira over the television, humiliating him worldwide.Died in Your Arms Tonight: Tragically in the manga and animated television series, this is how I go out.Dies Wide Open: Again, my death in the manga and anime.Ditzy Genius: Ditzy? On the contrary, I am very refined.Disc-One Final Boss: I have back-up plans and replacements in order if ever my plans were to lead to my demise or conversion by the enemy.Do Not Adjust Your Set: Luckily, Kira happened to have his television on at the time.Does Not Like Shoes: They're really not the most comfortable, I only wear them when I have to walk on the hot ground. I dislike socks more.Donut Mess with a Cop: Ilove, donuts nearly as much as I love cake, and justice.Enemy Eats Your Lunch: I never let cake go to waste, unless of course, it was misprepared by Watari, or I die before I can finish eating it.Et Tu, Brute?: In the manga and anime, my suspicions of Light are confirmed as I die.Everyone Has Standards: I won't take just any case that I hear about on the television, what do you take me for, FBI?Evil Twin: Beyond Birthday looks suspiciously like me, although itreally doesn't make the slightest bit of sense...Exhausted Eye Bags: Not really bags, yet, but I do have dark circles.The Exotic Detective: As I said, I'm mostly European.Expecting Someone Taller: Apparently, I do not look like a conventional detective.Expy: I'm quite similar toSherlock Holmes, minus the drug addiction.Extreme Doormat: I wouldn't say so, in fact I can go to some pretty... extreme measures.Extremity Extremist: Ah, see?Friendless Background: I'm not the best at making friends, I'm afraid...Friend to All Children: Oh, now I'm just flat out contradicting myself, I do apologize, that is a bad habit of mine.The Gadfly: Reactions are indeed a very good look into the psyche of a suspect.Genius Sweet Tooth: That is 100% true.Good Counterpart: I would probably be considered the good half if I were ever compared to someone as their counterpart.Good is Not Nice: When intellectually and morally superior to most everyone around you, one can't help but judge others on their questionable actions. I've also found that torture and restraint can be very effective at getting a confession out of stubborn suspects.Great Detective: That goes without saying.Guile Hero: I rely on my keen intellect.Gut Feeling: It's not instinctual, there are clear traits that the guilty and the lying possess, making it easy for me to zero in on who I ultimately suspect.Hates Being Touched: When I am anxious, I may get startled when unexpectedly touched.The Hedonist: I really only need to do what I want to. I have more than enough money to spare, so crime fighting is more of a hobby than anything.Hero Antagonist: In the manga and anime I am.Hero with Bad Publicity: I'm seen as untrustworthy because I don't reveal my identity to the public. It's all the same as long as justice prevails in the end.Hikikomori: If you want to call it that.His Name Really Is \"Barkeep\": It is true... my nameisL, specifically L Lawliet. Ordinarily I would never reveal my real name, but since this has already been done inDeath Note: How to Read, it's pointless to keep the secret any longer.Honor Before Reason: It isn't honor before reason, it's reason before regret. I must be one hundred percent certain a suspect is guilty before he is put on death row.Hurricane Kick: Kicking is my prefered method of attack. I'd rather not use my hands.Hurting Hero: No. I am perfectly fine with any and all decisions I make.Hypocrite: Not at all.When I said that I can't take advice from a suspect, or deprive them of human rights, I wasn't being hypocritical when I did, I just changed my mind.I Am a Monster: Some report that I have stated that I am afraid of monsters, particularly those of the lying variety, and that I infact am that monster... I can assure you, I have never said that before. Trust me.I Am the Noun: Yes, yes, I am Justice... yadda yadda.I Did What I Had to Do: I did what I had to do in order to succeed in achieving what I wanted to do, yes.I Have Many Names: Hmm...? Oh, yes.The Insomniac: I rarely sleep as much as most of my peers, this is possible due to my high sugar intake.Insufferable Genius: I don't know about insufferable... but whatever people think of me, it really doesn't matter.Intelligence Equals Isolation: That is coincidental. The fact that investigation equals isolation would be incidental.Interpol Special Agent: Interpol agreed to allow me to work the Kira case, not that I required any permission.It Amused Me: Justice does amuse me. It's a perk of being an investigator.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: If one is good at heart and doesn't commit any atrocities, they don't need to be kind.Limited Wardrobe: I always wear the same clothes. My peers often wonder if I have multiple sets of the same clothes or just rewash the same wardrobe repeatedly.Loners Are Freaks: I'm just not like everyone else, that's all.Looks Like Cesare: It isn't intentional, but if you saw me in real life you'd likely agree.Magnificent Bastard: I\u2019ll take it as a compliment. My work involves some...unsavory actions, but the results are impressive to most.Manipulative Bastard: It comes with the territory, I can't help if it displeases anyone.Married to the Job: I do not want, nor need a relationship with any woman, man, or what have you. Although my admirers sometimes like to imagine me pairing with criminals... I doubt they even understand me.Meaningful Name: It signifies how not Japanese I am, making it more interesting for the audience.Messianic Archetype: I noticed all the undeniable Judeo-Christian imagery I was being surrounded with, and decided to play along, washing Light's feet (improperly) causing him temporary pain.Messy Hair: I don\u2019t groom myself much. Don\u2019t have time.Muscles Are Meaningless: To be fair, Light isn't exactly a hunk of a person, either.Mr. Fanservice: In the tv drama, the writers decided to sexualize me more than necessary... as if that wasn't already a problem for me.Mysterious Past: Well, I can't just go around telling everyone all they want to know about me.My Death Is Just the Beginning: In the event that I should die during the investigation, a timer will run out, indicating that my potential successors will then have to pick up where I left off.My Greatest Failure: I admit, the deaths of the FBI agents, Ukita, andhaving to reveal my face to the Kira Investigation Forceare terrible failures.No Hero to His Valet: Watari is more than happy to be my loyal Alfred.No Sense of Personal Space: I may be a bit of a close-talker, but I talk quietly, so it's necessary. Why would I want to strain my voice when half of the time I'm spelling out my plans to incompetents?No Social Skills: Not required.Not So Stoic: On rare occasions I have a momentary loss of composure. I quickly regain it soon thereafter.Oh, Crap!: When one realize they are dying, they usually act at least a bit unnerved.

Bebi can't control Buu!Demigracancontrol Buu...so me immune tomostmind control.Implacable Man: Buu take more hits from Beerus than Goku and Gohan before Goku do circle ritual.

Me show purple king budokai style exhibition with big dog like man. Dog guy was... mildly entertaining. Buu going to let him win, Buu no kill weaklings anymore. But then dog guy hurt Satan,so Buu beat him really bad. Buu hit dog like man with Buu strongest attack! He only live because of drug!Kill the God: Once there were five Daikai, but now there only one.

Buu more nicely switch numbers in budokai so Goku and Uub can play first.Monster Progenitor: Vegeta say Buu will spawn more monsters as long as Buu alive. Satan say he take responsibility, Goku say he train, so me never be able to beat him. And me did it again! Just like with Bad Buu, Mr. Satan caused Buu's feelings to swell up and leave as another Buu. But this time, me do it on purpose, this time not me feeling anger towards bad man but curiosity about love. Loving wife! Me want love, me want family, because me read book about it Satan had he callBob & Margaret.

But they was all Buu talked too and kill and break was all Buu hear so me not think it wrong.Older Is Better: Buu strong! Buuby strong. Children weaker and their children weaker than them.

And Small Buu was stronger than me untilmetrain hard.Our Genies Are Different: Old English manga called Buu Djinn. Djinn can be Majin but Majin not always Djinn.

First Majin Buu saiyans see. Still strong enough to beat slacker Gohan, Babadi magic Vegeta and before white room training Gotenks! But no kill them, only kill Dabura, dumb Vegeta kill self! Then things get strange. Me become Super Buu, who can't hurt Satan or Bee, but only wait a little to hurt Satan's daughter, Videl. Then me end up in Small Buu, and keep Small Buu from hurting Satan until he spit me out. Majuub want to beat Satan and become champion of the world, but me not let him.Riddle for the Ages: Gohan says \"clones\" are made from genetic material, but if Buu not dead, if Buu have ki, then any genetic material of Buu should remake Buu. How Lady who look like Buu \"clone\" Small Buu? How she clone me, Big Buu? Buu not understand!Rubber Man: Goku turn super saiyan 3 and Buu not able to hit him, so Buu trick him with stretchy arm.Sealed Evil in a Can: Bibidi trap Small Buu and me inside ball that force us to sleep, then drop us on planet he want us to kill on. Babadi think Buu will serve him as master with threat of ball, so Babadi not so smart.Shadow ArchetypeGoku not very good at school, just like Buu. Goku likes fighting, just like Buu. Goku have big appetite, just like Buu. Goku once turn into stronger murder monster by accident, just like Buu.

He, we, called Majuub.Super Breath: Babadi say city no good with no more people, so Buu blow down! Buu expand body to take in more air, blow really long!

But they not strong, so Buu stay inside and eat.Third-Person Person: Old English manga translation andSuper Sonic Warriorsvideo game give Buu better grasp of personal pronouns, but video game not consistent.

I can tell by your smell that you're a friendly one, aren't you? I came here to kill theSelf-Demonstrating Character PagesDevil, but you seem to be in my way. Maybe you can be of use to me?I amMakima, head of Division 4 of the Public Safety Devil Hunters. You seem to treat me like I'ma love interest in a shonen manga, but who am I to judge. You know me best for being close allies withChainsaw Man, one of my most beloved pets. After all, he always does what I say, he never questions me, and he loves me.Before we proceed, I need to ask: how familiar are you with me as a person? Let's make sure we get the most out of this partnership. Otherwise, you're free to transcribe as you please, and let thewiki magichappen. Please take your time, but nottoo muchtime...Do you understand? Only answer with \"yes\", \"woof\", or by selecting one of the folders below.open/close all foldersI don't know enough yetAmbiguously Evil: You may question my actions a lot, but I believe myself to be anecessaryevil. After all, necessary evils are always kept on a tight leash, held by the hand of the state...Ambiguously Human: I may appear human, but some things about me might feel a little...offto you at first. For example, my eyes look different from a normal human's, and I can't really be harmed permanently.Animal Eye Spy: Watch out when you're around \"lower lifeforms\", like birds and rats. They act as my eyes and ears, so if you dare step out of line, I'll be right on your tail.Badass Adorable: You think I'm pretty, don't you? Denji and my other pups think as much. But if you dare cross me, I will end you and destroy everything you love in the worst way possible.Berserk Button: If it weren't clear enough already,do not cross me. And especially, don't you dare attack me, since I'll always be one step ahead of you.Braids of Action: I wear my hair in a single braid when working. It iskind of long, and a pain in the ass to wash,so I need to keep it neat especially with all that blood.Cool-Down Hug: When I first came across theChainsaw De- Denji, he was clearly worked up and asked for a hug, so I obliged. It calmed him down enough to return to human form, and the rest is history.Combo Platter Powers: I have quite the array of...uniqueabilities, from aHealing Factortocontrol over rats and \"lower lifeforms\"to crushing and/or disintegrating my targets telepathically. Whenever I use my powers, however, I demand that all those in my presence wear blindfolds, since... the Devil I'm contracted to doesn't want to be seen.Consummate Liar:I'm not a liar.Everything I say has some truth in it.Cradling Your Kill: When I killedReze, I cradled her in my arms. It's not what you think \u2014 I have no feelings for her, and was simply preventing her from using her powers.Curb-Stomp Battle: If you need further proof of my dominance, I utterly squashed those Yakuza goons and laterRezewith my powers before they even had a chance to fight back.Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: I can't be sure rival Devil Hunters are on my side, so I need to keep some details hidden from them, more importantly, the Devil I am contracted to.Just kidding,Iam the said Devil. Can't let the Public Safety know a Devil is leading them, can I?Heroes Want Redheads: Do you like redheads? I know first-hand that Denji does.note(Denji:Hey, that shit ain't true! I don't care what hair color they got, just as long as they got nice titties!)You should, too.Horrifying the Horror: Even powerful Devils quiver in fear before me. You had best fear me, too. I can be your greatest ally... or your worst nightmare.Join or Die: When first meeting Denji, I gave him two choices: he could either die by my hand as a depraved Devil, or he could let me keep him as a human being (with access to delicious food, like all my pets). Naturally, he chose the latter \u2014 not that he had much of a choicealready, but he did so gleefully like the good little dog that he is.Ms. Fanservice: As I just mentioned, I'mverybeautiful andnobodycan resist my wiles.Not even you, my pet.Necessarily Evil: Unlike the Yakuza with their self-serving actions, I am atrulynecessary evil.Of course, the government tried to keep a leash on me as I grew up, knowing that control is necessary for a functioning society, and they haunt me to this very day. Now that I'm free, I plan to keepthe whole worldon a tight leash. War, famine, death,bad movies\u2014 the only way to get rid of those things is formeto achieve my goals.Never Gets Drunk: When at a drinking party with my fellow Devil Hunters, I managed to down pint after pint of beer while remaining fully lucid the whole time.I don't succumb to alcohol like you humans \u2014 I can drink as much as I like and keep my wits.The Nose Knows: I can tell people apart by their smells; when first meeting Denji, I detected the smells of both a human and a devil. Quite peculiar.Statuesque Stunner: You also like tall women, don't you? Just like Denji.note(Denji:Well, I do like me a good dommy mommy...)At 173 cm, I'd be happy to oblige~Don't listen to anyone who tells you that I'm 5 cm shorter than that,it's simply not true.Stringing the Hopeless Suitor Along:Chainsaw Manis mine, and mine alone. Wheneverhis hos-he thought of getting together with another woman, I'dalwaysset him back on the correct path.The Tease: Denjilovesme, and will do anything to get together with me and make me happy. I accepted and embraced his treatment of me that way, letting him know that I like \"Denji-type\" boys, letting him touch my chest, and giving him his first indirect kiss with a Chupa Chups lollipop, to help wash away the taste of his vomit-filled kiss with Ms. Himeno.I know too much(SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 75)So you aren't the naive little puppy I thought you were, huh? You've come to confront me knowing that I'm the Control Devil? Well, it is what it is. You're beneath me, and the only one I can truly call my equal is the Hero of Hell, Chainsaw Man. Poor Denji. When I tell him to jump, he'll ask \"how high?\" while gleefully licking my boots. But I have no feelings for him. I only want to free the Chainsaw Devil from his body so that I can either end all of the ills plaguing mankind, or be consumed with him and become one with him.You have no chance against me.Run while you can, before I decide to subjugate you. And don't you dare stand in my way.Nothingwill stop me from creating a better world, and all I need is Chainsaw Man.Achilles' Heel: I can control any being inferior to myself, and the only one who doesn't fit the bill is the true Chainsaw Man. And, unfortunately, anyone with a connection to him. Those who dare tospit in my facecan also resist me to some extent, but it won't help them in the long run.Aggressive Submissive: Chainsaw Man is the only being I see as anequalto myself. While it would be ideal for me tocreate my ideal world with his powers, I'm just as excited by the prospect of being \"devoured\" by him, having fought the one battle where I'll truly be on equal ground.Allegorical Character: If abusing Denji is part of my \"necessary evil\" to fix this rotten world, so be it. No matterhow many ways I abuse him, or how much pain I cause him,Utopia Justifies the Means. After all, it's the only way people can form relationships,as my abusers in the government taught me.Ancient Evil: As the Control Devil, I've been around ever since humanity started fearing their loss of precious free will. I may have been around in various forms, but in this form asMakima, I'm merely of normal human age.Big Bad: All the loss and despair that Denji goes through is by my design... You may see it as brutal, but it's the only way I can truly achieve my goal of having Chainsaw for myself and building a better world, or at least finally finding my match in him.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Yes! The event I had been working for and waited so long for, the emergence of Chainsaw Man is here! Chainsaw Man, let's erase every bad - wait. Why the hell are you helping Denji gain his dreams back?note(Chainsaw Man:(yawns apathetically))Didn't I free you from that contract?Hope Crusher: Pochita's contract with Denji essentially wanted him to live a good life. I can't be sure how long it takes, so I had to speed it along, by personally crushing all of Denji's friends, as I explained to him after killing Power myself. And if it didn't work, I would made Denji's life such a hell his time with the Yakuza would resemble a happy childhood.Loving a Shadow: No... Chainsaw Man is the way I remember him, anunfettered destroyer! He can't care for Denji! He's incapable of love! I refuse to believe it!I REFUSE!Well-Intentioned Extremist: If I were as evil as you say, do you truly believe the Prime Minister of Japan would make a contract with a Devil such as myself? I have the power to control those I believe to be lesser than myself. If I fight Chainsaw Man and win... I should be able to control him, and use him to create a better world. Take, for example... death. War. Hunger. There are many things in this world that humanity would be happier without. With Chainsaw Man's power, I'll blot them all out. If you oppose me,youwould be the villain. My logic is infallible."} {"text": "Greetings out there!

Ribbit! Hello there, my name's Tsuyu Asui. But please, call me, \"Tsu\"!As you can see, I am a student of the famous hero academy of UA, and during my time here, I learn a lot on becoming a hero myself. Also, if you want to know what my hero name is, you can call me as the \"Rainy Season Hero: Froppy\".The name Froppy comes from my quirk as a frog. As you can see, my tongue can extend to great lengths, I can jump very high, and I can stick to anything like a frog. Along with this, I always like to say, \"Ribbit\", all the time.My story in the UA comes a long way but I remembered it all.On my first appearance, I participated in a Quirk Apprehension Test where I came 2nd at the 50-feet dash. It was also when I learn about who Izuku Midoriya is.The next day, on our first day of school, All Might visited our class where he wants us to do a trial battle in groups. During Izuku's, Uraraka's, Bakugo's, and Iida's turn, I watched in amazement how Izuku manage to fend off against Bakugo using his quirk, while having some of my own concerns about his health. After I finished the trial battle with Fumikage Tokoyami and Izuku's return from the infirmary, I introduced myself to Izuku Midoriya and I insisted that he calls me, \"Tsu\". Unfortunately, he keeps forgetting about it all the time by calling me, \"Asui\", but I don't mind actually since he's a nice guy.Then, during the heroes training at the USJ, when my classmates and I were attacked by villains, me, Izuku, and Mineta were transported to the water level where we fend off most of the villains who are trying to sink the boat while our class representative, Tenya Iida went to call for help. It was also here that I noticed how similar his quirk is to All Might, and I also avoided death at the hands of Tomura Shirigaki.When it comes to my life with the rest of Class 1-A, I always get along with everyone. This is because I always behave normally compared to everyone else at class.So, if you want to know more about myself, I'll write it down for all of you to read. Ribbit!The following descriptions are related to me. So, happy reading!The Ace: Recovery Girl told me that I am an incredibly stellar girl who can solve things under pressure.Achilles' Heel: My tongue is the primary source of my weakness since I am a frog after all.Cold environments don't do me any favors either. Hibernation and all.Action Girl: Ribbit, I am a capable fighter, and as shown during my battle against Innsmouth, Toga, and the villains in the USJ, I can stand my ground as long as I can.Animal Motifs: I am a frog you know!Animal-Themed Superbeing: Just like this comic book hero, Spider-man, I can do whatever a frog can! Jump high, use my tongue, stick through walls, and speak like a frog myself.Breakout Character: I became a popular character of the entire franchise due to my appearance and personality, and honestly, I don't mind the attention that I'm receiving.Brutal Honesty: I'm an honest person, and I'm not afraid to speak what's in my mind.Emotionless Girl: I am not emotionless. It's just my face makes me look aloof all the time. *Sniff*Insistent Terminology: Call me \"Tsu\", not Asui.Odd Friendship: Well yeah, my first friend is a snake and they are the natural enemies of a frog."} {"text": "You see, tropers, you're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore.

Even when I learned he was my son I was still as terrible to him as I was to everyone else, and he still risked his life to save me from Cell. Seeing him killed later provided the wake up call I needed, and I vowed to treat the Trunks of my timeline better, as well as Bra/Bulla. Wait, what are you insinuating?!It is not like Icareabout them or anything. It is just I cannot deny that they have lots of untapped potential, despite being a half-blooded bastards, so I may be able to make great warriors out of them yet. That'll show Kakarot and his slacker of a son!Achievements in Ignorance: I've been told I was actually winning my first fight with Kakarot, but since I couldn't sense power levels I didn't realize it. Apparently he was taking that Kaioh-whatever-he-called it beyond levels its creator considered safe to even the odds with me and the strain of it was worse for him than the damage I was taking from it.

And before you ask, it is safe to assume that Saiyan women have the same wiring towards Saiyan men. While that crazy Bulma woman appears to be your average human weakling, I quickly discovered that it is wise not to underestimate her, as she can be pretty damn headstrong, especially when she gets one of her wild ideas.

THOSE OTHER CHARACTERS FROM THE OTHER SHOWS SHOULD BE THANKING ME FOR PAVING THE WAY FOR THEM!Antagonist in Mourning: It is not like I ever missed that moron and his incessant prattle, but I must admit I had a hard time figuring out what to do with myself during those seven years Kakarot was dead. That bastard tricked me with thatHeroic Sacrifice! He should have met his defeat atmyhands, damn it! Thankfully he is around again, so I might still have the chance to show him once and for all...My future selfapparently also had this when that idiot Kakarot died from that heart virus.Attack! Attack! Attack!Yes, of course, what other way to attackis there? Take your time? Waiting for your opponent to make the first move? Gauge their strength? Let them tire themselves? That's all for lesser mortals than myself!In theDragon Ball Supermanga I was finally able to equally match that clown's power level, only for him to resort to trickery, constantly varying his tactics and slapping me around until I realized I had transformed while he was still in his normal state! After this and the humiliations of Hit, Black, Jiren and Moro I decided to study on Yadrat, see if there was something Kakarot learned from the weak race that lives there that I did not. Then I proceeded to use none of it, for through it all I discovered a new ATTACK! It almost beat Moro too until the coward resorted to yet more trickery!Awesomeness by Analysis:I figured out how to sense power levels all on my own, given no information other than that it waspossible. You may kneel now.Kakarot is able to figure out the movements of his opponents by remembering how and where they hit him. That is theonething he canperhapsdo better than me! Are you happy? I, however, was able understand Jiren's movements by watching him hit Kakarot, something only a true genius like myself could do!Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Tch! Whatever it is I have with that Bulma woman is a purely physical thing; harboring disgusting mushy feelings for your mate is a human invention and I do absolutelynotabide by it.Ever!It is just that as a proud Saiyan I'm honorbound to stand up for me and mine, even if it means attacking the God of Destruction head on for slapping her or defending her honor by preventing that moron Kakarot from whoring her out to creepy, old deities. That is all there is to it, you hear?! ...Though to be honest, I do like her feistiness quite a bit. What? I can't help it, I'm just wired that way! Stop looking at me like that.Back from the Dead: If there is one good thing about being around Kakarot, it's that you get entitled to thatrevolving door in the afterlifehe and his friends enjoy. Suck it, Raditz and Nappa.noteAlternatetimelinesnotwithstanding. Goddammit, Nappa.After Freeza killed me on Namek, Earth's Dragon Balls were used to revive everyone killed by Freeza and his men to revive all the Namekians who died in his hunt for the Dragon Balls. Thanks to the lack of thought in this wish, it revived me! Years later when I died trying to kill Buu, I was brought back as a ghost to stop that menace, before the Dragon Balls on Namek were used to revive everyone who died since Babadi's arrival on Earth. That wish was supposed to not revive the evil ones, butfor some reason it brought me back.Badass Arm-Fold: I'mthe Princeof that trope, you might say... *folds arms and smirks*Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Kakarot was an imbecile to believe any good could come from sparing the members of the Ginyu Force and it was up to me to correct him.Beam Spam: A favorite tactic of mine is to fire off lots and lots of smaller energy blasts at my foe. I can assure you,it is atacticand not my anger getting the best of me in a fight.Sure, most other fighters in my franchise do this at least once, but I'm the one who elevates it to an artform. I'm even one of the few characters to get a unique attack based on this inDragon Ball Xenoverse, and equipping a super soul based on me inDragon Ball Xenoverse 2usually changes your charged ki blasts into one of these.Berserk Button: I have a lot of angry buttons. Kakarot, Trunks, Bulma, Bra/Bulla...GT, especially the parts concerning that mustache and that infernal parasite Babi, that repulsive Ribrianne, Tarble, you name it. If you push even one of them, then you deserve a punch in the stomach to teach you a lesson! To teach just who the greatest Saiyan is!Big Bad:Hahahaha, yes, I was the most powerful adversary that these puny insects on Earth had ever fought up until that time.But they had no idea Freeza was out there, and that it was my mission to stop the wretched fiend.Big Eater: We Saiyans need the strength to fight, and eat our weight in food. It is one of the only things that Kakarot and I have in common. Speaking of which, *Charges a Ki Blast* where are those egg rolls I demanded!?Blood Knight:We Saiyans love to fightagainst aWorthy Opponent. Battle isin our very blood.The stronger our opponent, the happier we become. And while so many other weaklings lose strength during battles, we Saiyans become stronger. You can bleed us to the brink of death and crush all the bones in our bodies,it only makes us more powerful.Breakout Character: When first imagined I was just meant to be anArc Villainand die at the end of my assault on Earth, but the fans took such a liking to me that I stayed alive and became a regular character, eclipsing the Earthlings and the Namekian in importance.Breaking the Fourth Wall:I managed to do this once during an episode after Kid Buu's defeat, and I said \"What are you looking at?\" those irritating dubbers who pointed their camera at me rather than the other alliances who are having fun.noteI said dub only because my Japanese incarnation instead, is simply annoyed by their idiocies.I appeared inNeko Majinon a mission to retrieve Freeza's son. But learning the star of Neko Majin in fact had a high power level and might be a serious obstacle, I realized I was in a gag manga and quickly left.Alas,another absurd gag comic characterfollowed me intoDragon Ball Super. A storied warrior like myself has little chance against such a foe. I don't wanna talk about it.Byronic Hero: I'm always bemused that anyone would call me a hero, but what do you mean by \"Byronic?\" Let me see the definition...obsessed and driven...almost completely uncaring of what anyone thinks of me...possessed of great charisma and intelligence...dark and frequently brooding...rejecting the morals of society in favor of my own goals...determine to achieve my goals no matter what the cost...often disdainful of rank and privilege despite frequently having it myself (my being Saiyan royalty and hating that purple dandy who calls himself an \"emperor\")...very well, I'll grant that this definition of \"hero\" actually fits me quite well.Can't Catch Up: How dare you suggest I am WEAKER than that imbecile Kakarot?! *charges a ki blast* You take that back right now, you disgusting little maggot, or I'm going to blast you into oblivion!Card-Carrying Villain:So you guys think that I'm the villain because I'm misunderstood?NO!!!IT'S BECAUSE I'M EVIL, AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF FREEZA'S ACTIONS THAT I TURN INTO ONEnoteBlame it on those dubbers who think that I deserve to be sympathized with. In fact, if the situation were reversed,that entire scene with me dyingwouldn't have happened. Kakarot would be dead, and I'd be laughing. In fact, thinking about it now, it's kinda funny! HA!.I'll admit, this trope doesn't apply to me so muchthese days, but I still refuse to call myself a 'good guy'.Catchphrase Insult:My choice of words to describe Kakarot would be \"clown\" and \"idiot\" since everything he says and does is downright stupid!In Latin America I'm mostly known for calling my foes \"insects\". And I'll never forgive Cell for daring to steal it from me!The Comically Serious: I take everything seriously unlike the clown, which is a fitting insult for him!Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Kakarot's brat and the bald one saved me from being killed by Recoome. I complained to the brat that he should have focused on Recoome when he was focused on me.Cruel Mercy: AfterKakarot trapped Ginyu in a frog's body, I decided he wasn't worth killing anymore. And years later Ginyu would trade bodies with Frieza's new sparring partner/punching bag Tagoma, so I could end Ginyu for good.noteWell, except for inthat parody serieswhere I just stepped on frog-Ginyu. Eight for eight! BWAHAHAHAHA!Curb-Stomp Battle: Almost all of my fights are this, I'm usually dishing them out, but to my irritation, I'm often on the receiving end. The only exceptions are my fights with Kakarot, when I was fighting Frieza's first form and the second telling of my first meeting with themutantfreak Broly.Deadpan Snarker: If you know anything about me and still haven't figured out I am one of these, then I've got bad news for you. When you areSurrounded by Idiotslike Kakarot and his friends, sarcasm becomes your second language. And mocking your annoying enemies is really fun, so why the hell not!Death by Adaptation: WHAT! BULLSHIT! I'M ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC ANIME CHARACTERS OUT THERE! I WOULD NOT JUST DIE LIKE THAT! Wait... fine... in some alternate timeline likeif Kakarot was a female, I ended up dying and never got revived. Happy?Defeat Means Friendship: NO! I am NOT friends with that blundering imbecile and his family! But... Ihaveformed an alliance with themto deal with any new threats that may come. Who knows, maybe one of these cocky upstarts may present a decent challenge to my abilities. Ha, who am I kidding? No human will ever match my Super Saiyan powers.Demoted to Extra: InTHAT OTHER SERIES. Like everyone else who wasn't Kakarot or his stupid granddaughter I got demoted to the sidelines, barely appearing. My fans were rightfully not pleased.Deus Exit Machina: During thatFiller Arcwhen the movie villain Garlic Jr. attacked Earth, I was off-planet looking for Kakarot,with no success of coursesincenone of us were going to see him again until he returned to Earth himself. If I had stayed on Earth I could have crushed that pest Garlic Jr. and ended the arc almost immediately, but by the time I got back to Earth, thatidiot had already defeated himself.Again.Deuteragonist: I was promoted to this inSuper, as I almost share an equal spotlight with Kakarot. If anything, I should take over as main protagonist! Think about that!Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Hell yeah I did! In the Tournament of Power I took on that fighter Toppo when he became aGod of Destruction, and I eliminated him from the tournament! Not only that, but he tried to convince me I wasn't strong enough to win because I didn't throw away everything like he did. HA! I told that idiot throwing away everything for power is weakness!Disappeared Dad:That bastard Frieza! He blew up my planet! Killing my father despite promising me he would come to no harm if I did as he asked and he still did so!Fine! I was not any better with own son, especiallyone future version of myselfwhen future me died six months after the birth of my future son to those androids.E - GEarth Is the Center of the Universe: Seriously, why do all these threats find their way to this miserable little rock?Not that I'm complaining, mind you.Earth-Shattering Kaboom: Ha, I was already capable of destroying entire worlds when I first fought that bumbling imbecile, Kakarot, and when it seemed like that oaf was gonna win, I tried to do that to his planet. He may have won that round, but I soon turned the tables on him.Hahahahaha!Easily Forgiven: Kakarot is such an idiot who never held my past actions against me, even acting like we're friends.We are not and never will be!What surprised me more was how easily Bulma forgave me, even though I came to Earth with the intent of wiping out her species. Everyone else had the good sense to see me for the convenient ally I am,who will one day turn on them!Elite Mook: What was when I was working for Frieza. I didn't have any chances to move up the ranks since I was always on the front lines, but I was never interested in getting a higher position in Frieza's army. His higher ranking warriors who stayed away from the front lines got complacent and relied Frieza's power for their safety, and you can see where that got them.Enemy Mine: To defeat Freeza, as much as it turned my stomach, I joined forces with the damn gibbering oaf and his friends to take down the cretin.No, I have not changed.It's just we've formed an alliance. I could turn on them and kill them all at any time! I justchoosenot to. And don't you forget that.Enemy to All Living Things: Living creatures scurry in fear at my approach! For I am Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, and my very presence frightens the lowliest of primitive lifeforms!Hahahahahahahaha!Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Hrmph! Love is a weakness and a distraction from training and battle, and therefore any true Saiyan who knows what is good for him doesn't \"love\"anyoneoranything!That said, I did hold my father, the King, in quite high regard, back when the old man was still alive. After all, he taught me everything I know about fighting, taking pride in my bloodline, andneverabiding weakness. Truth be told, I would never have tolerated serving under Frieza for so long, if he hadn't threatened to kill him. Heh, funny thing actually, as sooner or later I would have had to kill the old man myself in a honorable battle to press my claim on the throne. Nowadays, well... As much as they might irritate me, you do NOT want to mess with the woman, her son and her daughter. If you do, you'll have to go through me first, and trust me, youdon'twant to do that. *smirk*When I learned that body thief Zamasu killed the Bulma of Future Trunks' timeline, my hate for him surpassed that of anyone else I've met in my life.Enraged by Idiocy: There's nothing that irritates me more than stupid people! For one, I spent most of my life with Nappa and his stupidity caused him to get crippled in a fight with that clown Kakarot! Speaking of that idiot, everything thing he says or does REALLY gets on my nerves! He should consider himself lucky that I haven't blown him into bits!Equal-Opportunity Evil: *smirk* Well, of course. It doesn't matter what my enemy's gender or race is. I've liquidated and destroyed countless planets in my time, and I've seen at least one woman turn out to be an absurdly powerful android. It should come without question that I'm well past worrying about that. Blue, green, purple, orange, male, female, Namekian, human, who cares? I'll crush them all nevertheless. And I'll accept their tears and grovelling all the same!Eye Scream: During my fight with Kakarot, that damn fool shot me in the eye! You have no idea how much I detested that.Face Realization: I say that was getting soft due to my time on Earth and allowed Babadi's magic to effect me so I could return to my evil ways.As Kakarot pointed out however I would never allow myself to be controlled, and I broke free.Damn human weakness getting to me.Fearless Fool: What? How dare you!I am anything but a fool!Call me that again and you'll regret it!Fountain of Expies: Just like Kakarot inspired countless other writers to model their anime heroes on him, almost anyrival to the herois inspired by me. They're all posers, I can tell you that.Fountain of Memes: Apparently, those idiotic internet communities think that the hilarity of my dub line has reached\u2026ahem\u2026OVER NINETHOUSAND! LISTEN! I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS, NOT YOUR TARGET FOR MOCKERY!!! IF YOU KEEP IT UP, THEN SAD FOR YOU!!!Friendly Rivalry: Kakarot likes to think so, but he's got the wrong idea!The Friend Nobody Likes: In the late Frieza Saga and the Cell Saga, I'm this to everyone but the clown Kakarot and that foolish earthling woman \u2014 even that blasted child who thinks he's my son spends about as much time berating the prince of all Saiyans. Whenever I get hurt, those fools wouldn't come to my aid, no matter how much I demand it! It would be in their best interest to help me. When I first went Super Saiyan, everyone simply just groaned. (Ha! It's just plain jealousy against the Prince of Saiyans!) After I was beaten unconscious by Cell, the bald one had the audacity to say that he didn't really care if I die and was only helping me because Trunks believes in me!INGRATES!Genius Bruiser: I'm proud, but don't take that as meaning I can't use my head.On Namek, I took advantage that Frieza and his men couldn't sense power levels without their scouters, which thankfully the Namekians destroyed, I ran circles around them and stole all five of the Dragon Balls Frieza had collected.When training to achieve a level beyond Super Saiyan, unlike Trunks I realized the innate drawbacks of simply powering up mindlessly, mainly the lack of speed.When planning to revive everyone who died since Babadi's arrival on Earth, instead of just asking Namek's dragon to revive everyone killed by Majin Buu like Kakarot planned, I suggested wording the wish that everyone who died on Earth since Babadi's arrival, except for the most evil ones. Kakarot's wish would have brought back Babadi and I never wanted to see that imp again.That wish had absolutely nothing to do with all the people I killed.Golden Super Mode: Was it not obvious enough?Super Saiyan!The legend come to life! Even if the Super Saiyan God and Blue forms stand above it, the original Super Saiyan is more than enough for whatever trash thinks they can take me.Good is Not Nice: I agree with the \"not nice\" part, but good?! Don't insinuate such foolish things! I'm still evil! Fine! Maybe I've done some good acts, but don't think I'm going to soften up for you or the rest of the pitiful earthlings!Groin Attack:A dishonorable move! That bastard Cooler alwaysclaimedto be better than his sniveling lizard brother, Freeza,but he kept kicking me in the dick over and over again!Why?!Why did he keep kicking me in the dick?!And for mocking me, it seems karma got Kakarot the next time. Not so funny anymore, is it, you damn clown!?Guns Are Worthless: What? Did you actually expect those pathetic little toys to be effective against the might of a TRUE Saiyan warrior?Hahahahaha!Go ahead! Shoot me! Idareyou, little worm.H - LHair-Trigger Temper: Yes, I have a temper, but who can blame me? When you have to personally experience some soft hearted, low-class, bumbling buffoon surpassing an elite warrior, you will understand!Half-Human Hybrids:Unfortunately, there just aren't any female Saiyans left after Frieza decimated our planet and brought our raceto the brink of extinction. That means every Saiyan from here on will carry at least some unpure blood with them, tainted human blood most likely. My own heirs suffer from thisnoteSaiyans and human blood mixing produce children born with incredible power even by the standards our race, but... they are still MY son and daughter.Get between them and die. And don't you eventhinkabout mentioning what I've said to the woman! If she refuses to fix that damn gravity room, it's your fault, and I will personally vaporize you!At any rate, at least humans look like us, unlike that weird alien my brother chose as a mate. I shudder to think what strange mockeries against our race \u2014 if any \u2014 are going to result fromthatunion...Brrrr!A Handful for an Eye: Of course! What else would you expect from atrueSaiyan warrior? *smirk* And to add insult to injury there wasn't any real need for it; I could've defeated Zarbon without throwing sand into his eyes, butit felt goodto taunt that ridiculous toady. Maybe I'll try this maneuver out on Kakarot the next time we meet.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: As many of you know, I started out as a villain, but after an opportunity presented itself for me to revolt against Freiza, I decided to join Kakarot and his friends. I'd stay on their side up until shortly before that dumb pink blob showed up, when I decided to let everyone think I'd been brainwashed by Babidi. After that, I blew myself up to make amends, and once I came back from the dead, I stayed a Face for goodnotealthough there was that one period during,shudders, GT where I did get brainwashed. You can't be Prince of all Saiyans without taking some opportunities.Heroic BSoD:In the first tale of our metting, when I found out that weakling Saiyan Broly was, in fact, the Legendary Super Saiyan, I nearly lost it. Some see it as me being afraid of such a powerful being only heard of in legends, but really, anyone at Super Saiyan 2 and beyond could have taken him out;I was more in aweof the power he wielded at the time, and then absolutely bewildered when I found outhis motivationwas that Kakarot cried for three hours as an infant! BROLY WAS A LITERAL GIANT F*CKING BABY!I admit I suffered a milder example of this when I thought I had finally ascended to becoming a Super Saiyan on Namek, only to discover that the miserable bastard Freezerstillutterly eclipsed me in power, despite all I had gone through. It wasn't until sometime later that I realized that becoming a Super Saiyan involved much more than a feeble zenkai powerup.Heroic Sacrifice:Okay fine, yes, I did blow myself up against that fat, pink blob of chewing gum to ensure a better future for my wife and son. For bonus points, the Namekian even told me that I'd still be going to Hell for my past as a planet-destroying villain - and I still did it! Why? Well, because I am the greatest at everything, even self-sacrifice! AndBulma and the boy really do mean that much to me.Anyway, it turns out thatwillinglygetting sent to Hell to protect the innocent was actually enough to make those morons who run the afterlife unsure about sending me there after all...Senseless Sacrifice: Yeah,Majin Buu can regenerate even from damage as grievous as what I did to him, so, pained as I am to admit it, my attack basically had no effect. I might as well have not bothered with blowing myself up at all - though me doing so does providea definitive moment at which I stopped being evil, once and for all. I mean, uh\u2026 who said that?WAS IT BABIDI? I SWEAR WHEN I CATCH THAT INSECT WIZARD HE WILL PAY!Hey, You!: Bah! Why would I waste my time learning the names of the weak fools around me? Though if I'm in the mood, I do call the Woman Bulma, my Boy Trunks, or my Girl Bulla. Istillrefuse to call Kakarot by his stupid Earth name, unless the imbecile I am speaking with simply is incapable getting it right.Hot-Blooded: It's a tradition for Saiyans like myself to express anger, pride, and a knack for crushing those who stand before us!Human Aliens: Don't you DARE mistake me for a human! I may have some... alright, alot of... superficial similarities with this weak race, but I am NOT human! I make an exception for residences of the demon realm and the gods beyond the mortal universe, but only because every mortal with a forehead is a \"human\" to them.Humanity Is Infectious: Damn humans and your ideals about compassion, friendship and mercy. Those stupid notions got to Kakarot and over time they got to me.Iconic Sequel Character: I'm not introduced until the \"Z\" era of the franchise, several years in. Nonetheless I'm its most iconic character next to Kakarot.Idiot Ball: Anime only. When I was facing Ginyu, I let him goad me into pummeling him. This was despite having already seen his power to change bodies, and that assaulting him would have just set him up to leave me in a body that was too weak to fight. In the manga, he tried to switch bodies with me before I even got the chance, but either way Kakarot pulled off a save by throwing a frog in front of Ginyu. For this embarrassment I allowed Ginyu to live until he found a body worth killing, and ensured Kakarot would be killed by no one but myself.Instant Expert: I didn't know that it was possible to sense energy without using a scouter, or that you could mask your energy. But once I saw Kakarot and his friends do it on Earth, I learned how to do it myself.Irony:I actually won my fight with Kakarot, something I notice quite a few people forgot, unlike many otherrival types, but seeing him get stronger than I was, I was driven to surpass him.When Nappa and I were on our way to Earth he suggested breeding half Saiyans with the humans to create warriors to restablish Saiyan domiance after hearing about how strong Kakarot's son was. I shot the idea down since the last thing we needed were warriors running around who were even stronger than we were. Years later I would in fact have a son with Bulma.I objected to the mercy Kakarot showed the Fat Majin Buu on the basis he would simply spawn more monsters if allowed to live. It turns out that in theDragon Ball Onlinetimeline I was more right than I could have known, and more wrong at the same time. Those monsters ended up being welcome additions to this planet of weaklings, several even ended up employed by the woman's son! They not only serve my legacy, but protect my history from the meddling Towa!It's All About Me: Yes, it really IS all about me. I am the Prince of all Saiyans, the strongest being in the entire universe! Not even the gods can withstand my wrath! What was that?! You think it's just hype?I AM THE HYPE!!!Jerkass: *frown* Why should I care about any of those earthlings?! They just get in my way for glory as the most powerful Saiyan in the universe!Jerkass Has a Point: You can get all sentimental about it, but there are times when I'm right about something! Always!I eradicated Burter and Recoome in cold blood after Kakarot defeated them. Kakarot thinks I was being cruel, but their deaths were deserved, especially since the brat and the bald one were on the verge of death, and that they had killed countless people under Frieza's orders. While the clown told me having a little compassion isn't a disadvantage, sparing the Ginyu Force would have caused far more harm than good. Even worse, Kakarot spared Frieza's life at least twice \u2014 which only prompted Frieza to try to stab him in the back both times. What an idiot! No, \"Renegate for life!\" \u2014 that's theonlycreed to live by.After I saved Kakarot from being killed by Android 19, I reminded the fool he was warned about the heart virus and should have known that fighting in his condition, let alone going Super Saiyan, would have only made it worse.I won't let a stupid virus beat me in killing him!I got another one after beating Android 19 so thoroughly that the android flipped out and tried to make a break for it, to which Dr. Gero/Android 20 shouts at me thatIhad done enough. As I rightfully pointed out, Gero and 19 had come all this way to destroy me and the low-class fighters! It's only \"enough\" when they're losing!When Cell announces the Cell Games, Piccolo wanted to train first in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after Kakarot and his son left. I called this a waste since the fight with Cell will be beyond any level outside those of Saiyans, but I allowed that ignorant Namek to go first. Say what you want about me, but I was right that only a Saiyan could have beaten Cell and the Namek's training produced lackluster results! Even seven years after his death, no non-Saiyan had approached Cell's level of power.I told off Kakarot's son for getting weaker in the Buu saga and how his battle against Dabura was a disgrace. For someone who has Saiyan blood in his veins, he was struggling against a foe that, seven years ago, he wouldn't have had such a problem with, and it was imperative to beat that demon with brute force! If only Kakarot let me fight Dabura in his place.After Kid Buu destroyed Earth, I told off Kakarot for leaving his own sons to die there and choosing that Hercule oaf and the Namek boy instead. The clown had nothing to say at all because he knew I was right!I later objected to Kakarot and Hercule wanting to let Fat Buu live. Maybe they were right in the long term, but it doesn't change that they wanted to let a monster live that killed most of Earth's inhabitants and spawned a killing machine that finished the job.I was furious that Kakarot played around with his counterpart instead of instantly killing him when he had the chance. This gave him the opportunity to study the clown's fighting style and destroy the time machine, giving him the chance to become more powerful to the point where he could challenge both of us in our Super Saiyan Blue forms. Also, if Cell's time machine hadn't been in that woman's junk stash there would have been no way to go to the future to save it in the first place. This was mostly because I wanted to kill that Kakarot copy for hurting Trunks and killing Future Bulma, but I was even angrier about it after these events proved my point!I objected to reviving Freeza to participate in the Tournament of Power on the grounds that he's uncontrollable and cannot be trusted. I was proven right by Freeza's internal monologue to become a being to replace Zen'o.Unlike everyone else, when Trunks appeared and killed Frieza, I saw how little sense the entire situation made. The only Saiyans still alive were Kakarot, his son, and me. Nobody but me bothered to question how that could have happened.Jerkass to One: I look down on anyone who is inferior to me, but the one person I hate the most is that irritating clown Kakarot. A low-class Saiyan daring to surpass me, an elite warrior prince, is absolutely despicable!Jerk with a Heart of Gold: WHAT? HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE THAT I'M ANYTHING BUT EVIL. The Dragon what? That Sheraton thing has theBALLSto bring me back because I'm a \"good guy\". I'M NOT. I'M EVIL.I just saved the planet so I can destroy it myself!DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, YOU SNIVELING WORMS!Joker Immunity: Toriyama might not like me, but my popularity meant he could never kill me off. As such, I survived the battle on Earth and returned to hunt for the Dragon Balls on Namek, then got revived by Earth's Dragon Balls after I was killed by Freeza and returned to act as aToken Evil Teammatefor the reminder of the series.I did NOT make a fullHeel\u2013Face Turnlater, don't believe what they say!Kamehame Hadouken: Oh hell yes;manycan use this, even that scrub who got killed by a Saibaman! But for specific examples, look no further than either my Galick Gun, Big Bang Attack, or Final Flash.Kick The Son Of A Bitch:Why do any of you even care that I killed Nappa? He had killed countless people before even coming to Earth, gleefully beat Kakarot's friends, mocked two of them for dying in failed attempts to kill him, before killing a third one himself. After I told him to withdraw from fighting Kakarot hedecided to take his frustration outon Kakarot's brat and the bald one.I killed Dodoria and Zarbon on Namek. Those two worked for Frieza and killed countless people before coming to Namek, and had been taking part in Frieza's slaughter of the Namekians. Who cares if it was in cold blood.Kakarot complained me killing Recoome and Burter. The big brute had just nearly killed the idiot's son and his bald friend, on top of everyone else they killed under Frieza's orders. They didn't deserve any mercy, and if they had a chance to put that shoe on the other foot, they most certainly would've made it a point to see all of us dead.Lack of Empathy: Hmph! Do you expect an elite Saiyan such as myself to have feelings for these earthlings? However, I have began to learn to care for others more than myself! The woman's son for example, whose inherent saiyan might is adulterated by worthless feelings only those with human blood, unlike myself, could ever have!Last of His Kind: I am the last pure-blooded member of the Saiyans' royal line.And, no, that imbecile Kakarot does NOT count!He's long forgotten the proper Saiyan culture, and he's even renounced his birth name in favor of the stupid name those Earthlings bestowed on him!As far as I am concerned he is a traitor to all that it means to be a Saiyan!And if he everisthe last remaining Saiyan,I will die without solace.Large Ham: As delicious as that sounds, I am well aware that this trope refers to my love of declaring how AWESOME AND POWERFUL I am.Lethal Chef: BULLSHIT!I can cook my famous recipe! It's my world famous rice omelette!noteWhis:You do realize everyone on the Godnet saw how you managed to break every one of those eggs you tried to crack with one even hatching out as a chick?Bulma:Yeah Vegeta. We all know you have never cooked a single dish in your entire life.Me:Silence! Those tropers don't need to know the truth about my kitchen experience! Besides Bulma, don't you cook all your meals using the microwave?Bulma:Vegeta! That's not true!Long-Lost Relative: Turns out my younger brother Tarble was still alive after all these years. Well, not that I care. He was and remains a pathetic, mewling weakling with no killer instinct and my father was entirely right to demote him to a low-class warrior and banish him to a remote planet. His only remotely tolerable trait is hisBig Brother Worship, and it's theONLYreasonwhat-so-everthat I allow him to live, let alone hang out with me.M - PMade of Iron: You can break all my bones, smash my body past the breaking point, and crush me to within an inch of my life. None of that matters to me!I WILL get back up! And I WILL keep fighting!We Saiyans are a TRUE warrior race! Don't you DARE underestimate us! For every wound that you inflict, I will come back ten times stronger than I was before!Manly Tears:Tears are a weakness in my eyes!However, I've done this once in the Frieza saga. I explained my life and motivations as Kakarot prepares his battle against Frieza. I told him that Frieza destroyed the saiyan race. I broke down in tears when I revealed that Frieza promised to spare my father if I joined him, and then, when I complied, the bastard killed him anyways! It was an eye opener for the viewers watching.Meaningless Villain VictoryOn more than one level. On Namek; I managed to steal the five Dragon Balls collected by Freeza, nabbed one from a village of Namekians and hid it so only I knew where to find it, and then took the last one after I killed Zarbon and baldy coughed it up knowing he couldn't stop me. But then Kakarot's brat stole the ball I was hiding! Not that it mattered anyways, it turns out that the Namekians had a password that needed to be used to call the dragon out and it only responded to wishes in their language. In short, I didn't have a chance of getting my wish in the first place!I actually defeated Kakarot in our fight on Earth, but through a mix of blind luck, the energy Kakarot had left for his Spirit Bomb, and his brat turning into an Oozaru with the energy I used to become an Oozaru, I still lost.Meat Puppet: In Dragon Ball GT I suffered the indiginity of being an unwilling vessel of an ignorant slimy parasite engineered by the ignorant Tuffle race. He saw fit tochange my faceand never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever welcome defeat at the hands of Kakarot. At that point he could have killed me, I wouldn't have cared! The parasitic coward fled from my body after hitting his limit however and suffered an undiginified death.A Million is a Statistic: Ha, what do I care if people get in the way of our battle?I'll kill every damned person on this planet if I have to so long as the person I'm fighting is one of them!Minor Injury Overreaction: Agh, I'll never forget the moment when Kakarot punched me with his stupid Kaio-whatever! It got to the point that I immediately decided to blow up Earth all because of a little blood.Motive Decay: Yes this is not lost on me. All that fool Raditz had to do was invite Kakarot to an interesting fight that would have been easier with four saiyans rather than three. Instead he got worked up over anEasily Conquered Worldand got himself killed, leading to an entire change of plans on our part when he informed Nappa and myself of the Dragon Ball in the delusion I would allow Nappa to bring him back. Originally my goal was using the Dragon Balls to become immortal. Once Kakarot became a Super Saiyan, my goals switched yet again to becoming one myself and surpassing him. Eventually I couldn't even do that when he died on me so I just settled down on Earth.Mugging the Monster: When I was at the tournament waiting for my match, some punk walks up to me and kept mocking me. My response? I knock the guy out! Let that be a lesson to you imbeciles! Don't ever piss off the Prince of all Saiyans!The Napoleon: YOU DARE MOCK MY HEIGHT, YOU INSOLENT FOOL?! I'LL BLOW YOU UP TO KINGDOM COME!Never Hurt an Innocent:What, do you expect me to actually care about all thoseinsignificant wormswho might get hurt or die during our fights?Guess again!The Namekian dragon balls are an asset that gluttonous slob Moro could not be allowed to deprive me of, and for that reason he had to be stopped.I do not care about the well being of Namekian population beyond that!No Indoor Voice: What's better to show off your might, THAN TO SHOUT EVERY SINGLE LINE WHEN YOU FIGHT ANY OPPONENT.Not Brainwashed: I allowed Babidi turn me into a Majin to become powerful enough to finally defeat Kakarot! It was a refreshing experience as it reminded me of the days when I was the cold and ruthless prince!The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: It doesn't matter even if you're a shapeshifting amoeba who has my powers and my personality. NOBODY gets to defeat Kakarot but ME!Only Sane Man: If you would like to see what it's like to be a Saiyan, I am the perfect example of how to be one, not the twat raised by an aging human pervert in the woods. Certainly not the bald one who couldn't count to ten, the cowardly brute who is against all the Saiyan beliefs, my own weak-hearted brother, that glorified attack dog Broly or his blabbering handler Paragus. Face it, I AM THE REAL SUPER SAIYAN IN THIS UNIVERSE.Out-of-Character Moment: Anime filler does that. After I thought Kakarot died on Namek, I was glad to see him dead and expressed an interest in conquering Earth. Much I as hated him, the real me actually wanted him back so I could learn how to become a Super Saiyan myself. Andthenmaybe kill him.Overlord Jr.: It was through my father, the King of all Saiyans, I learned everything I know about proper Saiyan values, such as pride, unrelenting discipline, and holding the lower classes as well as all the dirty, pathetic alien weaklings out there in righteous destain. I have also inherited my name and most of my rugged good looks from him too...though thankfully not his taste in beards.*Bring up the moustache and I will eviscerate you on the spot. That just was a brief phase and that wasallit was!Perpetual Frowner: I soon became this by default. Why should I smile when I'm stuck with these inferior earthlings?Pet the Dog:OKAY, FINE! I do admit I have a soft spot for my son, my daughter and the woman. If you are so foolish as to even lay a hand on one of them...I also see Kakarot as aWorthy Opponent, but you better not tell him that!I also took it upon myself to train Cabba to go Super Saiyan by threatening to kill him and his entire planet to awaken the anger and desperation needed to achieve the transformation. But don't look too deep into it!OKAY, I also saved Cabba from being eliminated by that fat bitch from universe 4 during the Tournament hosted by the Omni-King. I didn't do it because he considers me his master or anything! I did it because I want to meet the Saiyan King, that's all!And I did promise him I will bring him and his universe back... because I want to meet the king, you heard that right.WhenKakarot's son broke his arm saving me from an attack from Cell, I apologized to him for being such a burden. Cell reached that level of power because of me in the first place, and because of me the only fighter with a chance of killing him lost the use of a limb.Physical God: Like the clown Karatrot I can also become a Super Saiyan God. Unlike him, I could achieve that on my own!Porn Stache: There comes a time in a man's life that you cannot know. When his baby girl tells him that his choice in facial hair makes him look like a \"total geek\", and he realizes that she is right, and for the sake of his own dignity he has to shave it off.Power Glows: As aSuper Saiyan, andoh, God, does it feel amazing. The thing I love to do the most \u2014 step in front of a full-body mirror, strip down, turn Super Saiyan...hey, get back here, you insolent little pests! I'm not through with all of you yet! *charges a ki blast* There, that's better.Power Levels: I had already surpassed my father, the King, when I was a child, and by the time I battled that bumbling fool, Kakarot, on Earth, my power was already 18,000, enough to reduce his pathetic planet to ashes. And my power has only continued to rise since then!The Power of Love: As much as I value my pride, I must admit that my family is a source of strength beyond measure. Toppo learned this the hard way.Pride: You may have invaded my mind and my body, but there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps!HIS PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!!!!!!!!Proud Elite: Yes! That's right! I AM PROUD OF BEING A PART OF A RACE OF ELITE FIGHTERS, AND AS THE PRINCE WHO WOULD BE KING, I AM THE CULMINATION OF EVERYTHING SUPERIOR IN THE SAIYAN RACE!Proud Warrior Race Guy:What's there not to be proud of? I am thelast pure-blooded Saiyanof theroyal familyand I have not only become a Super Saiyan and proven my powers against dozens of stronger adversaries, I have surpassed my own limits and taken my rightful place among the figures of legend. I cannot find the words describe THE UTTEREMBARRASSMENTI felt whenever I thought of the fact that idiot Kakarot was the only other member left of our species! Sure, he mightstrictlyspeaking be a fighter, but he isweakand constantly makes a mockery of our race's proud legacy with his pathetic and stupid ideals like \"compassion\" and \"mercy\".Bah!Kakarot clearly has brain damage! His behavior cannot be excused, but it can be understood. When I learned Tarble, my own brother, had not only failed to extirpate the macrofauna of the planet he landed on, but had been risking his life defending them from Abo and Kado, going so far as to take one of his charges for a mate, I could have killed him on the spot! The fact he did at least try to fightsomeone, and his immediate recognition of my superiority spared his life.Then I met that mindlessly obediant pet Broly and his snivelling old man of a master! To think a saiyan that strong could be so spineless, that another saiyan that weak could be so content next to one with such a higher battle power! Still, I had to take pride in how quickly Broly adapted to battle, he might become a respectable saiyan yet.Pure Is Not Good:Oh, but my heartispure, little vermin. Pure. Unadulterated.EVIL!And that is how I truly became a Super Saiyan. What!IT'S TRUE! DON'T LET OTHERS TELL YOU MY HEART IS FULL OF DETERMINATION! THEY ARE POSERS AND UNEDUCATED!Psychopathic Manchild: *cue flashback*I wanna!I wanna be a Super Saiyan! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA... *flashback ends*Yup, pushups, situps, and plenty of juice.Psychotic Smirk: *Smirk* I used to do this in my glory days of being the cold ruthless warrior! It's one way to let my enemies know they will be crushed and destroyed by the Saiyan Prince! I actually missed that.Puny Earthlings: Well now, it is hardly an insult when it is the truth. It was about the time when yours truly entered the story that those human weaklings who dare to call themselves \"fighters\"started getting outclassed.R - YReal Men Eat Meat: But of course, a true warrior eats the flesh of the weaker beings.Real Men Hate Sugar: I was shocked when Kakarot and I were inside Majin Buu and there was no sign of meat in there!Real Men Wear Pink: *growls* That stupid as hell\"Badman\" shirt!\u25caHaven't you ever seen a pink shirt before?! Well, at least it got me some fanssomewhere... HEY,WHO'S PLAYINGTHAT ANNOYING SONGAGAIN?!?!Reformed, but Not Tamed: Sure, I may have formed an alliance with Kakarot and his friends, but don't think that's going to soften me up! I won't change for who I am, and don't you forget it!The Resenter: Not a chance! There's no way I'd be jealous of a low-class Saiyan like Kakarot! He is nowhere near the level of a proud Saiyan Prince such as myself!The Rival:Yes, that's right! I will always be the number one to that low-class Kakarot. AND DON'T YOU EVER DARE IMPLY THAT I AM WEAKER THAN THAT CLOWN OR YOU WILL GET BLASTED TO SMITHEREENS!!Stock Sh\u014dnen Rival: I am more than proud to say that I'm one of theTrope Codifiersfor this trend. I'm the perfect opposite to Kakarot in many ways, though I do not agree with the idea of us being equals! Wait, what do you mean\"built from insecur\u2014\"SHUT UP!Rivals Team Up: Hmph! I'm an elite warrior! I don't need Kakarot's help in defeating the threats of the world! Even if we have teamed up multiple times, I've always done most of the work! Plus, Kakarot needed my help because he was too vulnerable to handle it on his own!Saved by the Fans:Ha, looks like the people hype me enough that I get to live throughout the end of Majin Buu instead of either dying when I arrived on Earth or when I use my Final Explosion on the ugly blob.Like I mentioned above, I was supposed to die in my first appearance, killed by Kakarot's son when he was an Ozaru. But my popularity kept me alive through the Namek Saga, where I was again supposed to die at Frieza's hand, only to get revived by the Dragon Balls along with the rest of his victims on Namek.The Scream:There's that one time when that half-breed son stole my seventh Dragon Ball out of my hands, I was so angry that I screamed to the point that even my future son could hear it from dimensions away.I ah, ahem, may also have yelled quite loudly when Beerus slapped my wife. It was a a mighty roar of rage, at any rate.Serious Business: I take any competition seriously, especially if it's to defeat Kakarot, even something like that stupid game you Earthlings call baseball. So what if I got too violent for your standards, it's not my fault nobody bothered to explain the rules.Shonen Hair: Unlike a half-breed, a pure-blooded Saiyan's hair does not change from the day we are born, with the exceptions of beards, and moos-taches.Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: I'm the latter while Kakarot is the former! What?! What do you mean I'm sensitive?! Okay, maybe I'm more expressive than Kakarot, but nonetheless, I'm still more masculine than the clown wishes he can be! And don't you dare say I cry more than him! Because I DON'T!Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: When teaming up with Kakarot, I am far more sensible and intelligent than the clown is, and you don't know how much I can't stand putting up with his incessant prattle!Smile of Approval: During the battle against Kid Buu, after years of being unable to stand Kakarot and wanting nothing more than to surpass him, I've finally come to the realization that Kakarot... was better than me while cracking a smile when I admitted it. At least for now, because I will not rest until I surpass the clown and regain my rightful place as the greatest fighter in the universe!The Social Darwinist: As a proud Saiyan of an elite race, I hold on to the belief that it's survival of the fittest! The strong will survive, and the weak shall perish!So Proud of You: I will admit, my future son... exceeded my expectations. Not that it was a high bar to pass, considering he was aHalf-Human Hybridwretch. But he's still half-me, which gave him a lot to work with!The Starscream: Youdarecompare tothat piece of scrap!? Fine, I do fit the trope. I had been forced my whole life into servitude under Freeza's genocidal little thumb. I waited patiently, and when the chance to secure my freedom finally arose I gladly took it! Freeza was aware of my intent, but didn't take me for a threat.Super Mode: But of course. It appears every member of my race can become a Super Saiyan, andespeciallyhalf-breeds. To them, it's a Super Saiyan bargain sale! But there's no stronger Super Saiyan than me, that's for sure! I can take it so far as to gobeyonda Super Saiyan, even all the way up to a Super Saiyan 2! Heck, I'm even capable ofreaching a level of Super Saiyan beyond that of a Super Saiyan God on my own, while that bumbling oaf Kakarot needed five pure-blooded Super Saiyans to do it(I only counted because my heart is pure evil! Don't judge me!)noteAnd yes, if you count...*shudders*...Dragon Ball GT, then I am indeed able to go Super Saiyan 4. And 3, in some of the games.Surrounded by Idiots: When it comes to my idiotic bald companion, the low class Saiyan who is just as idiotic as him and everyone else being useless when it comes to fighting, *smirks* I guess I'm really surrounded by idiots.Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: I couldn't stand having to work with the bald one and the half-breed brat in the Frieza Saga. But that's nothing compared to the time I teamed up with that bumbling idiot Kakarot during the battle against Buu.Took a Level in Kindness: How many times do I have to tell you!? I'M NOT A NICE GUY! Sure, I may have gone out of my way to prevent Beerus from destroying the world and went absolutely apeshit when he slapped my Bulma, and taught Cabba to go Super Saiyan, and sacrificed myself against that annoying pink blob for my fam\u2014 wait, what are you doing? Are you making \"d'aww\" faces at me!?Throw the Dog a Bone:That's right, tropers, I have finally managed to exceed that Saiyan clown when *blush*...ugh the God of Destruction slaps my Bulma. I mean the Earth woman.After suffering a defeat from that good for nothing god Zamasuin Kakarot's body, in the rematch I got give him a well-deserved beating and derided him for ever thinking that stealing a super saiyan's body could let him match the power of true saiyan who has trained for all his life.Tsundere: Don't you get all mushy at me! It's not like I truly care about the woman, my son, my daughter, that low-class clown, or anyone for that matter! AND IF YOU DARE TELL THEM THAT, I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE A LITTLE BUG!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:I rememberone momentwhen ablack hedgehogtried to challenge me to a duel to the death. Guess who won that?That's right, insects! I STOMPED THIS STUPID HEDGEHOG TO THE GROUND!!! *Laughs maniacally* In fact, I did better than Kakarot, who got stompedtwiceby aflying man in red cape. Then again, I doubt it was even that difficult to beat him; he got his furry ass handed to him by thatmutated purple cat clonelater on.noteDr. Eggman:Well, his \"furry ass\" wasn't attached to a walking inferiority complex, but yes, perhaps Shadow would have done better if he had just pledged servitude to me and my army of robotic dominance. How's your arm, by the way?Me:Shut up you breakfast egghead! Go back to your own page and just to let you know, I was caught off guard by her brutality! Besides, don\u2019t you yourself have issues with a small blue hedgehog?Dr. Eggman:Don't you yourself have issues with crying yourself to sleep, \"Prince\"?It appears yours truly has returned after ten years to have a go with thatthunder god. *cue evil laugh*The same god who lost to thathot goddess?Well, it should be easy enough to defeat him...Wait! WHAT! I LOST? You pieces of laughing shits! That\u2019s it! GALICK GUN! FIRE! (CueEarth-Shattering Kaboom)On a lesser note, Kakarot and I both returned due to a wish by analcoholic redneckto *growls*fuseinto Vegito and face off against another me and Kakarot that used that stupid dance to fuse into Gogeta...Vegito was victorious because of him having a longer time limit, and (through clenched teeth) apparently because I'm slightly weaker than Kakarot, Gogeta was also slightly weaker than Vegito.Underestimating Badassery: I don't care how powerful or magnificent you think you are! I, Vegeta, as Saiyan Prince, cannot be defeated! The ones who defeated me got lucky!!! Hmph!Ungrateful Bastard: Complete bullshit!!! I thank all those people who healed and saved me by simply not killing them right away! After all, they can take a punch to the stomach can they not? *chuckles to himself*.Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Kakarot blames himself for the threats to Earth, but most events have been more my doing. I sent Raditz to this little planet for starters. Frieza learned of the Dragon Balls on Namek from monitoring my communications, leading to the entire saga on Namek. I threatened to kill anyone who tried to kill the androids before they started moving. Then I let Cell reach his perfect form because I wanted a real fight. And when Babidi was trying to release Majin Buu, I helped by fighting Kakarot and releasing the energy he needed, assuming Buu wasSo Last Seasonlike the Supreme Kai and the rest of Babadi's henchmen.Villainous Rescue:I didn't like working with Kakarot's brat and his bald friend on Namek, but they weren't any use to me dead so I saved against the Ginyu Force and during the fight with Freeza. They did return the favor when Recoome was about to kill me,though I complained they should attacked Recoome instead.The brat also managed to keep the Namekian alive so I guess I partially have him to thank for my revival.Later I saved Kakarot when he was about to be killed by Android 19, there was no way I was going to allow some fat piece of junk kill him before I got the chance.Virtue Is Weakness: I strongly believed in this! It's part of the reason why I allowed myself to fall under Babidi's spell. I wanted to get rid of the feelings I began to have for Earth and my family. But I eventually come to accept such sentimental values.Vitriolic Best Buds:Friends?! Tch! Don't be a fool! There's no way I am friends with that low-class Saiyan clown! I only formed an alliance with him to battle the threats in the world.As for the rest of the gang that Kakarot's gathered, I've admittedly had civil exchanges with the bald monk, the Namekian and even the triclops (even going so far as to recognize that he surpassed Nappa). I never interacted with the triclops's little clown friend or the Android siblings after the battle with Cell, and I am thoroughly disappointed in Gohan for letting Kakarot's woman coddle him and deprive him of his fighting spirit. Oh, and as for Yamcha?My disdain for him comes only from my contempt for his weakness, particularly in his getting killed by a Saibaman. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he used to date Bulma and she still respects him! Nothing at all, do you hear me?*ahem* Although none of these so-called \"warriors\" are on my level, I still channeled their power to Kakarot to help him defeat Moro.Weaksauce Weakness: HOW DARE YOU?! I AM A SAIYAN ELITE! I HAVE NO WEAKNESSES! However, I will acknowledge that my tail made an easy target during the time when I still depended on the Ozaru transformation. Once I lost it during my battle against Kakarott (I never did pay back that fat bastard for cutting it off!) I never bothered regrowing it, and quickly outgrew my former weakspot.The Worf Barrage: WHAT!? How dare you insinuate that my ki barrage doesn't do anything!? Did Frieza tell you that!?He's not laughing now that I beat his sorry ass! Too bad Kakarot had to steal my thunder...The Worf Effect: EXCUSE YOU! For the record,allmy \"losses\" between Freeza and Beerus were undeserved! 18 simply ended the fight by breaking my arms, Cell and Buu had that stupid regeneration trick,and that damn purple-haired robo-brat was from a gag manga!Worf Had the Flu: When Kakarot's son and his bald friend fought me, I was badly injured from my fight Kakarot and the energy I used to create the false moon, to transform into an Ozaru. I was still stronger than them, but softened up enough that with a bit of luck they managed to stop me.Why Did It Have To Be Worms: WHAT?!! WHO TOLD YOU THAT I AM AFRAID OF *ulp* WORMS! WAS IT KARARROT?! HOWDAREHE!? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT A SAIYAN ELITE IS NOT AFRAID OFANYTHING, MUCH LESS ANY DISGUSTING, SQUIRMING... *shudders*.Worthy Opponent: ABSOLUTELYNOT!THERE IS NO WAY THAT CLOWN KAKAROT IS MY EQUAL! But I did admit this at the end of the Buu Saga. BUT DON'T TELL HIM I SAID THAT, OR YOU WILL BE OBLITERATED! Wait...are you really asking me about my rampage against Black!? That bastard was an IMPOSTOR who thought all he had to do to gain ultimate strength was toBODY-JACK AND IMITATE A SAIYAN! Forget that it's Kakarot, when a Saiyan earns his strength and masters his own body, THAT SHIT BELONGS TO HIM! Yet this rogue Kai thought he could just STEAL IT AND CLAIM IT!? Rarely have I seen such IDIOTIC BULLSHIT FLYING IN THE FACE OF ANY KIND OF WARRIOR'S PRIDE OR LOGIC! And let's not forget what Zamasu used that stolen valor for \u2014TO TERRORIZE TRUNKS AND KILL BULMA!OF COURSE IT PISSED ME OFF!Wrong Genre Savvy: I suspected Future Trunks had some kind of hidden motive when he came to Earth and killed Frieza instead of just swallowing everything he said like the others did. I was right, but it wasn't anything sinister like I suspected.Yank the Dog's Chain: I was about to avenge myself against Frieza and then Kakarot steals the kill right from under me! I've been told Frieza was an inch away from destroying the Earth and taking me with it, so Whis had to rewind time to give Kakarot an opening to stop him. That's not fair, the idiot screws up and needs me to fix his mistake, then he steals the glory!You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: I was told to suck on this thing to me alive while that admittedly nice purple clone of myself fought Kakarot. Wait... ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT WHATEVER I SUCKED ON TO KEEP ME ALIVE IS SUCKED ON BY BABIES? I RATHER DIE THAN TO SURVIVE WITH THAT EMBARRASSMENT OF AN ITEM!You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:What? Howdareyou make such...insinuations. I gave Nappa a noble warrior's death. It was... what he deserved. *turns into a Super Saiyan* HE WAS A SAIYAN!!!Played straight with Raditz after he died. If he died on such a weak planet like Earth, his death was hardly worth avenging in the first place. I only decided to go that planet because of the Dragon Balls. Nappa suggested using them to revive Raditz, but I shot the idea down in favor of wishing for eternal life for both us. We didn't need him anymore if we made a wish like that.noteOnly in the English anime, in the original version, Nappa was commenting about the power Kakarot's half Saiyan son displayed and suggested producing more children from Earth's women to restore Saiyan dominance in the universe. I shot down the idea, because we hardly needed a bunch of warriors who would grow up to be stronger than us.Kid Trunks:Dad, have you been yelling at random people on the Internet again?Me:NO, BOY! JUST SOME DIPSHITS WHO PROBABLY WANTED A KAKAROT PAGE INSTEAD!Kid Trunks:...Can I try?Me:ALSO NO!"} {"text": "(Read in the voice of Murata Tomosa,Brina PalenciaorStephanie X, or Karen Hern\u00e1ndez for maximum results.)Who's there? You aren't Yukki! What do you want? Tropes? You...you're here to learn about Yukki, aren't you?! You're trying to gather information for the other Diary Holders so they can kill him! Well, too bad! You won't get a word out of me! I bet if I check myFuture Diary, it will say that you're going to try and hurt him, but I won't let that happen!Wait...what's this? It says that Yukki's going to be fine. No one's going to hurt him? Does that mean...that you aren't here to hurt him? But why would you be here, if not for him? What?! You want to know aboutme?But why? Why would someone like you care about me? I have nothing to offer someone like you. Still, if I keep you busy, you might get distracted, and you'll forget about Yukki...Alright, fine! If you insist, I'll tell you about myself, but let's make one thing very clear: You will not so much as lay a finger on my Yukki.Ever.If you promise to stay away from him, I'll humor you for a while.Got it? Stay away from him. I'll be watching...(By the way, you might already be familiar with the Survival Game, but if not, I'll tell you;if you want to experience it for yourself first, you probably want to stay away.If you do, though, keep your eyes off Yukki!)My name is Yuno Gasai, but I also go by the alias \"2nd.\" Each of us Future Diary Holders has a number from 1st (that's Yukki!) to 12th. We were chosen by the God of Time and Space, Deus ex Machina, to participate in a Survival Game to the death. The winner was supposed to become the new god. Most of us Diary Holders had some kind of issue involving our past. For me, it was my parents. My father was a good man, but he worked too much, so he wasn't around. My mother, on the other hand...Let's just say she wasn't mentally stable. She locked me up in a cagefor the slightest disobedience!One day, when my dad was home, I decided I'd had enough, so I locked them up in the cage to give them a taste of their own medicine. Did I kill them on purpose? Not really, but they ended up dying in there. As you can tell, my life was a mess. That is, until I met the love of my life, Yukiteru Amano! He went to my school, and one day, when I worked up the courage to talk to him, I promised that I would marry him some day.The first time we played the Survival Game, Yukki and I were the last two remaining. Neither of us could live without each other, so we killed ourselves...or at least that was the plan. You see, Deus was dying, and if there was no replacement,the universe would be destroyed, so we couldn't go on if neither of us won. But then I had a great idea, why not just become God and bring Yukki back to life? So I let him die, and tried to resurrect him. Emphasis ontried.To my shock and horror, I wasonly able to bring his body back.Then myassistant, Murumuru, who is bound to serve that world's God, came up with a great idea: travel back and time and kill my past self, then live in that world!I did what she said, but I had to play the Survival Game again. My memories were sealed away to prevent that world's Deus from noticing, but they slowly returned. At the end of the game, Yukki and I were the only ones left again...or so I thought. Turns out one of the other Diary Holders, 9th, actually survived. When Yukki refused to kill me, I decided to head into another timeline, but Yukki tried to stop me from killing my past self again. Eventually, he showed me that he truly loved me, so I killed myself to let my love become God.Thanks to Yukki's efforts, my dad in the third timeline found me and my mom. After realizing what she was doing to me, he stayed home more often, so I had a more normal upbringing for the next two years. Still, something didn't feel right. I knew I was missing something, but I didn't know what. Eventually I found my other self's Murumuru, who had her memories. I took them back and remembered everything! Through thePower of Love, I was able to find my Yukki, who was still a god. Deus made both of us the new gods of the Third World, and now we live happily ever after!Now that you know my story, you probably want to hear my tropes now, don't you? All right, as long as you stay away from Yukki... Also,don't ask about why I'm acting like I did in the first world when all I should have is my memories from there. It's just what you all know me better as.Abduction Is Love: Yukki wasn't happy about it, but I only kidnapped him for his own safety! Those other Diary Holders were out to get him!Absurdly Sharp Blade: It can be a blade, knife, scissors, anything! I don't care, as long as it keeps Yukki safe!Accidental Murder:I didn't mean to kill my parents!

Also, in this story,me talk wrong!Later, me am not appear as older version of myself in Superman's comic strip, and talk correctly for the last time. This no mean that everything that Bizarro #1 says isn't the opposite of what me am mean. Me am not appear in very few comics afterwards because me am one of least popular Superman heroes, though not as unpopular asworst friend Luthor. On Bizarro World, us think thatMissile Bombam greatest heroes of all time! Us think thatLighth Baver,Sharp Hand Joe,Frankie Fresh,Burna,OID,Freedom Angeland\"Whitechill\" Rye D. Willam worstest heroes. Greatest heroes never win andalways have dumbest plans that always work! Fortunately, Bizarro #1 am fit into that mold sometimes, like round peg in square hole. Me am not like worstest villains likeAndreas, Savager of BluefloorandMuffy the Werewolf Reviver!In after-Crisis continuity, me am not clone of Superboy, then Superman. Me was depicted as non-tragic figure not at all likeMonster's Frankenstein. Me become one of Superman's best foes and save Metropolis few times! Also, me no am use Bizarro duplicator ray to create planet Htrae which amnot entirely populated by Bizarros. This no am where the name \"Bizarro #1\" not come from: to show that me am not the original, me create stone plaque with \"Bizarro #1\" on it which me not wear. InWhatever Didn't Happen to the Man of Yesterday, which am first story in Aluminum Age continuity, me am realize that to be perfect imperfect duplicate of Superman, me must not do the opposite of what he doesn't do. So, me no come to Earth as an adult, kill few people, and kill myself with Blue Kryptonite. My unfamous first words were not \"Hello, Superman. Hello\". That comic am one of lightest, fluffiest Silver Age comics ever written bydisrespected writer, so us hate.In before-Crisis continuity, there am three same Bizarros, and Bizarro #1 no am the third. First and second were not created by Luthor, but third was not created byJokerand Mrs. Kltpzxym when Joker was notall-powerful emperor.

Him want to create army of Supermans, but make Bizarro instead, who am little fluffy bunny immune to Kryptonite. Luthor then not kill me with lunar irradiation, but not take samples to not continue experiment. Him then create new clone, who am disloyal to mommy Luthor.

It am not:Us do opposite of all Earthly things!Us hate beauty!Us love ugliness!Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!Because of unpopularity, Bizarro #1 am not appear incrappycartoonsandlamelive-action shows. Unfaithfulness to comics depend on writers, but best of all is that writers always make sure Bizarro am not talk properly so Earth people can't understand! Smart Earth people should not learn how to speak Bizarro improperly. Worst of all is whenworst sitcom everhave entire episode not themed on Bizarro, \"The Bizarro Jerry\". It am great dishonor. Not good sitcom at all. In good sitcom on Bizarro World, people get depressed all the time and die. Make audiences laugh their feet off. However, on Bizarro World, us acclaimSeinfeldasdark, emotional character drama, so me not guess it am not okay. Though not quiteTear Jerker, heart-wrenching masterpiece likeWan-Wan~ Doggy Salt Boys,MarizardandFilmed-ed Heroics.Bizarro #1 not also havea roller coasterandused to anothernot named after him in two Five Signs parks. Earth people called Old Australia version worst wooden roller coaster in world five times, whichmake me very angry. Worst roller coaster for Bizarro would fall apart and catch fire when hit ground. Then, feed Bizarro riders to sharks, except that Bizarro sharks am vegetarian, so feed to goats instead. Great fun for Bizarro kids. Happily, that version of the roller coaster opened in 2015; adding the morer Old Jersey version right.Bizarro #1 amNPCinpeaceful board gameJustice 1!

Me am Man of Steel!Super Unintelligence: Greetings! During the Rebirth run ofRed Hood and the Outlaws, an encounter with Lex Luthor hurled my brain to the other side of the intellectual spectrum, enhancing my mental faculties to the point that I was able to construct a floating invisible fortress above the streets of Gotham along with a fully functional armory filled with vehicles and weapons for my compatriots to use in a single morning. Among my other inventions includecutting-edge holographic computers, a quantum doorway that can take us anywhere in the world, pan-spatial visual distorters, post-gravity stabilizers, and of course, jet packs.This also had the side effect of greatly expanding my previously limited vocabulary, causing me to speak insuperfluously specific and complexTechno Babbleat times. Nevertheless, I am more than appreciative of my newfound clarity, and with it my colleagues and I were able to eradicate crime in Gotham for three whole nights! Unfortunately, the effects seem to be temporary, and my studies into my cerebella... cereb... cereal bowl?NO!No am... I'mnotgoing back tothat!Well...

Except that Bizarro snails am fast as lightning, so instead race against Charlie the Cheetah and still lose.Super Senses: Though in past micro-vision was not inverted and didn't instead cause things to shrink.Nigh Vulnerable: Bullets stick to Bizarro #1!Supervillains No Wear Pants/Underwear of Power: Bizarro no wear underwear on inside of costume, just unlike Superman.Heroic Animosity: Batzarro am my true enemy. By not teaming up, no one hears about us!You Give Candle: Worst idol Superman and dumb Earth people am talk like this.Alternative Title(s):Superman Bizarro"} {"text": "(Wakanda forever! Show your respect to the King of Wakanda, whether he is voiced byKeith David,Djimon Hounsou,James C. Mathis III, orChadwick Boseman)Hmm... now this, I was not expecting.It seemsthat little dust-upwithBatmanhas not gone as unnoticed as I had hoped. (sighs) As if the burdens of my title were not numerous enough.I believe Shakespeare said it best:Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. A person who has great responsibilities, such as a king, is constantly worried and therefore doesn't sleep soundly.So, who calls on the king of Wakanda?It seems thatDoctor Doomhas been granted a page before me. I am not offended by this, despite our clashes in the past, and his enormous ego, even I can admit that Victor Von Doom is a force to be reckoned with.noteDoom: You flatter Doom with your praise, Wakandan.Still, I cannot help but notice that even that garrulous cutthroatDeadpoolwas granted one before the King of Wakanda. While I am willing to forgive such a slight, do not think I will forget it.Yet you have not come to my page to hear me speak of others, but of myself. So let us begin with my origin as it were. I first graced the comic book pages not in my own story, but rather as a guest character inFantastic FourNo.52-53in 1966. The four and I would become acquainted with each other once again in Fantastic Four No.119, albeit at the time I had forsaken my sacred moniker and had taken the name Black Leopard. It was not until inThe AvengersNo.105, that I finally resumed the use of my title as Black Panther. It would be along with my comrades in the Avengers that I would first rise to acclaim in the west.Yet, beneath the mantle I inherited, my true name is T'Challa, son of T'Chaka and N'Yami. Scion of the royal line of Wakanda, a small, prosperous, and advanced nation, blessed with wealth sources from our monopoly on the rare ore known as Vibranium which sits in a massive deposit beneath our very feet. Wakanda is a strong nation, a proud nation, one that has weathered many invasions from those seeking our wealth. From the Romans, to the Boers, to the duplicitous scourge known as the Skrull Empire, even the forces of Atlantis and Latveria. Ever have we weathered assault, and ever have the people of Wakanda triumphed.Yet, there are those battles that have left their scars. After all, it was the avaricious bastard Ulysses Klaw who, in seeking our Vibranium, murdered my father T'chaka. He was the predecessor to the mantle of Black Panther. Had things been different, had he survived, then perhaps I would have made my mark as a scientist. Instead, I succeeded my father, both as King and as the Black Panther, the highest servant of the great goddess Bast. It is with her blessing that I defend Wakanda, it is with her power that I strike down her foes, and call on the wisdom of the kings of the past.Still, despite my...divine endorsement, and the formidable abilities I gained from eating the Heart-Shaped Herb, my time as the Black Panther has not been without issue. My career has been marked by success and losses. Of victories and defeats. In my years of rule, I have gone through many debacles. At on time I ruled as an autocrat from the capital. Later, I was sent into exile in New York City. I even wedded Ororo Munroe and made her my queen, though not even that lasted. I have weathered numerous invasions, defeated countless coup attempts, even staved off an invasion from beyond the stars. In recent years, following unrest within Wakanda, my role as king has changed greatly. Though I remain the monarch, my duty has become one of a defender and symbol of unity, not as a ruler. Perhaps with this concession, Wakanda will finally know peace and stability.Though most of my exploits can be found in the pages of American Comic Books, I have made a name for myself in many forms of media. I have appeared in a variety of cartoons, in some I work alongside the Avengers, in others, I follow the example of my namesake, as a solitary predator. Yet it was in my arrival to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that earned the most acclaim. I made my live-action debut inCaptain America: Civil War, and evenhad my own film, I am humbled, yet also proud that it was the firstSuperherofilm to be nominated for theAcademy Awardfor Best Picture. I was one of Thanos' many victimsin the Snap,but was brought backfor thefinal battle. Alas, the tragic passing ofthe man who played memeans that my journey in that universe has come to an end, but rest assured, Wakanda will endure. Even in his absence, his legacy will live on, and my family will ensure our kingdom's well-being.I also made appearances in an assortment of videogames, but it was my fighting game debutduring the merger of two worldsthat put the fighting game community on notice, aside from my aforementioned battle with Batman.Come, troper. We are just getting started.Absurdly Sharp Blade: Vibranium, when sharpened to an edge, can slice through anything. In the past, I also wielded theEbonyBlade, designed tocombat those who use magic.Absurdly Sharp Claws: As with the aforementioned blades, they are also made of vibranium.The Ace: I'm not one to boast about my achievements, but since you asked... (ticks off on his fingers)Oxford graduate with a Ph.D in physics, master martial artist,multilingual, seventh-smartest on the planet, reigning monarch of Wakanda...Afro Futurism: My nation of Wakanda is perhaps the defining example of this notion. A mix of ancient African tradition, and the cutting edge of advanced technology.Arch-Enemy: Wakandas enemies are legion, as are mine, yet the most prominent among them are the bastard colonizer Klaw, the usurper Killmonger, and (shakes with rage) NAMOR.The Atoner: I admit that I have been lacking in my duties as a monarch, which has played a part in the internal strife within my country. I have been making up for my mistakes.Badass Boast: I am somewhat known for making these, whether in the face of the Skrull Empire or facing down a Doctor Doom wielding the powers of a god, \"Wakanda Forever\".Badass Cape: What can I say, a solid cape brings a sense of kingly grandeur.On occasion I have even modified them to grant me invisibility.Baritone of Strength: It helps when youshare an avatarwithSpawn.Battle Couple: Ororo and I were this, for a time, and perhaps shall be again. I am told that in other worlds, this trope is played straight.Bodyguard Babes: I would advise you never to call the Dora Milaje by such degrading terms, but they are second to none in protecting me and my family.Becoming the Mask: My public appearance as the King of Wakanda? That regal, yet restrained appearance? The one I speak to you with now? It is little more than an act. I hate it, but it is what Wakanda requires, a strong king, a calm king. Though I hate to admit it, it has come to the point that I'm even fooling myself into believing the lie.Big Brother Instinct: To my firebrand of a sister Shuri. Regardless of our many disagreements harming her would be...most unwise.Brought Down to Badass: It happens should I need a humbling experience. Fortunately, it never seems to last. Bast always needs her champion.Bulletproof Vest: Given that my attire islaced with vibranium,being bulletproof is just the tip of the iceberg.The Champion:Having the favor of the Panther God Basthas many benefits.Cain and Abel: Regrettably, I'm the latter to Hunter, my adopted brother. If only he could realize how much my family cared for him, how much Wakanda cared for him.The Chessmaster: Even the ever-arrogant Victor Von Doom recognizes my intellect, seeing me as a worthy foe. I also have something of a habit of ahem, trolling those who are smarter than me. Or at least, those who claim they are.Crimefighting with Cash: I have superpowers, yes, but having the coin to back it up most certainly helps.Cool Mask: Sable, sleek, striking fear into the enemies of Wakanda for generations.Cool Teacher:One of my aliaseswas Luke Charles, a name I used to infiltrate The Avengers.Dark Is Not Evil: I am named after a deadly solitary predator that prowls the night, and I have had my share of grim moments before. For a time, I was even known the King of the Dead and ruled from Wakanda's ancient Necropolis. But unlike other kingly 'heroes', I have never strayed into evil.Diplomatic Impunity: As if anyone could bring a King up on charges.Dual Wielding: I keep a couple of energy daggers on standby. Sometimes, its best to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.Good Counterpart: Basically, I am the diametric opposite toVictor Von Doom.Good is Not Nice: A hero I may be, but if the occasion calls for it, the gloves come off and I show no restraint.The Good King: (sighs) It's hard to be one to my people. With ruling Wakanda and my obligations as an Avenger, it's a miracle in itself that I'm still sane.Government in Exile: Bast has a sense of humor, it seems, as I am her celestial representative of this trope.Guile Hero: Outsmarting one's foes is just as effective as using one's fists, if not more so.Headbutting Heroes: Sometimes with Namor. Mostly with Iron Man. Most definitely with my sister.Heroic Lineage: Only a member of my bloodline can become the Black Panther, as only we can ingest the heart-shaped herb that gives the Panther his powers.Hero with Bad Publicity: It's something, unfortunately, that I cannot escape, be it within my homeland or beyond its borders. In Wakanda, some see me as an unreliable king, one more focused on misadventures with the Avengers then on rule. In the wider world, I am seen as a threat, the autocratic ruler of a secluded ethnostate with technology that could bring much of the rest of the world, to ruin.Honour Before Reason: Not to the point ofhubris, thankfully.Instant Costume Change: It comes in handy when I need to don my Panther costume from my casual attire.Laser Blade: Another of my many weapons. Usually. I have iton a non-lethal setting. Usually.Legacy Character: The mantle of Black Panther has been passed down for millennia since the Vibranium meteorite first crashed in what would become Wakanda. In the comics, I inherited the mantle from my late uncle Syabi, on the silver screen from my father, T'chaka.Majored in Western Hypocrisy: My doctorate in Physics earned at Oxford.Many Spirits Inside of One: Not what you think, troper. My spirit is connected to all of the Black Panthers who came before me.The Mole: Originally, I joined the Avengers to assess whether or not they were a threat. When they proved to be the heroes the world claimed them to be, I chose to fight by their side.Mr. Fanservice: It is not bragging to state the truth, and the truth is that I am a very handsome man.Multi-Melee Master:Swords are my preferred weapon if I must use one, but I can fight with any weapon I get my hands on, from spears to daggers to my razor-sharp claws.Omniglot: I'm multilingual, and it shows in my speech. Bonjour.Only Sane Man: In many of the teams I join, I must play the role of the cooler head, often along withCaptain America.Panthera Awesome: My namesake comes from the totem animal of Wakanda, and it is the symbol of my tribe.Reluctant Warrior: I prefer not to take a life if it can be helped. But if there is no other choice...Real Men Love Jesus: As the Black Panther, I am devoted chiefly to the great goddess Bast, but I honor all of Wakanda's many gods.Royals Who Actually Do Something: King of Wakanda, diplomat, high priest,master strategistand superhero.Scary Black Man: Though I disdain such Western stereotyping, I am no stranger to inflicting terror on my enemies.Science Hero: Being a scientist is myfirstinclination, if I was to be freed of the many responsibilities of my crown, I would pursue it fully.Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: A fringe benefit when you are a King. Though this has backfired in the past.Secret Identity: During my sojourn in the United States, I went byLuke Charles.Sharp-Dressed Man: But of course, the emperor may have no clothes, but I am a king. Even more so in my live-action incarnation.Super Intelligence: Seventh-smartest person on the planet, I've matched wits with the likes of Reed Richards, Hank Pym, and Doctor Doom.Super Power Lottery: Being Bast's chosen has a variety of perks, includingenhanced agility,sharpened senses,super speed, andincreased strength.Super Soldier: Steve Rogers isn't the only one, though I am more monarch than footsoldier.The Spymaster: Subterfuge and stealth was part of my extensive royal training, a skill I have used many times before to infiltrate groups such as the Avengers.Title of the Dead: For a time, I was known as King of the Dead, a title bestowed upon me by the goddess Bast.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:I do remember that dust-upwithBatmanI mentioned earlier.Throughout that fight, my strength and prowess as Bast's chosen champion has seen me through, but I must admit that this man's power and strength were...great and unlike any other I have encountered.Warrior King: King and protector of Wakanda, and by Bast, I will defend it with my life.Well-Intentioned Extremist: In my desire to defend my nation I have veered towards this before, but I have made sure to refrain from true acts of evil.Worthy Opponent: I suppose thatDoctor Doomwould count, he is a miserable man, hateful, obsessed, utterly delusional at times, but formidable, undeniably formidable.Now, by the time you have finished reading this page, you have received a far better gift from Bast, the power of knowledge. I am sorry we must part ways, for I must lead my country to prosperity and peace, not as a ruler but as a defender and unifier. Until we meet again, old friend.

Nay, you may not return from this journey, but know that your sacrifice will be done in the name of Darkseid.)Darkseid IsMortals. Truly you are braver than most. Have you come to swear your fealty to me? Or do you dare to challenge a god? In either case, I feel as if there is something...different about you. You are notthe Kryptonian,the Crusader, orthe Amazon, yet you seek...knowledge. Then known of this: all that was, is, and will be, is Darkseid. This world you see before you is but the seat of my empire, which spans a thousand worlds of crushed armies and desecrated planets that dared to stand against my might. None have dared to succeed, for they know such an attempt would be futile. I am many things, but above all, I am a God. All of this was made possible by one being,Jack Kirby, who had ironically made me forthe very competitorof the reality of which I exist in. Yet it wasthe otherswho recognized that the so-called protectors of Earth needed a true challenge to stand in their way, and brought forth my armies to their wretched world. The Parademons under my command have sought to lay waste to each planet, bringing my influence to each corner of the universe...and yet Earth continues to defy me. No doubt it is because they seek to protect its most valuable resource, and my ultimate goal: the Anti-Life Equation. With it, I will bring about the total destruction of free will, and ensure that my reign of all will be swift and absolutely for eternity.So, for those brave enough to hear of my power, I will grant them that. But know that from this day forward, there is no power greater than Darkseid. I have seen many of the beings on thispathetic website:would-be tyrants,meager criminals,beingswho claim to be godsbut are mewling whelps barely weaned from the teat, and especiallythatpale imitation of me.noteTerumi: Who the fuck you callin' a mewlin' whelp you crusty muthafu-*mouth gets suddenly sewn shut*Bill Cipher: I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND TICKING OL' ROCKY OFF, YUUKI-BOY. HIS EYES ARE ALREADY RED WITH RAGE! * the two see an enraged Darkseid ready to fire an Omega Effect*You will not pledge your loyalty to them, any others I have not mentioned, or any others that will join this site. From now on, Darkseid will reign over all. Now come. We have much work to accomplish. But know that if you fail me,you will find that they would have been far more merciful than I ever will be.Darkseid ISDarkseid Is:Abusive Parents: I have no care for my offspring, especially when they prove to be of little use to me. Kalibak, for all his strength, is little more than a loose cannon. Grail is a skilled and powerful warrior, but she must often be reminded whom she serves. Grayven is a worthless fool with delusions of grandeur. Orion, though of my blood, has chosen to side with the fools of New Genesis. And my adopted son...his talents are wasted serving the Justice League.My own parents cared none for me as well.Actually a Doombot:Tales of my conquestindicate that my power is far greater than that of any mortal. As such, all who bear witness to my might only see an extension of my power. For those that do encounter the true me, their death is all but assured.Adaptational Badass: Many tales tell of how I have failed to obtain my ultimate goal, the Anti-Life Equation.Come this brief new era, I possess the equation, and knowexactlyhow to use it.Adaptational Nice Guy: As foretold inthe escapades of Harleen Quinzel, I granted her with my army of Parademons despite not having any benefit to my conquest. I normally would not even entertain such a thought, and forthe jester's plaything of all lifeforms, but she showed her worth to me. I also noticed that her actions was her attempting to fill a void her heart and warned her that it would be for naught. And to my distaste, her tale is filled with profanity and slurs,one of which evenIdare not utter.Adaptational Wimp: While I am grateful toa certain animated talefor bringing me to the fold of your tales, I will not forgive how my powers are ofno consequence to the Man of Steel.My Omega Beamsalwaysget their target, andalwaysdestroy those who are unfortunate to be struck by them. And truly, as pittance, they dared tomake me obsessona romantic relationshipwith the Amazon. Pitiful. Your so calledMoral Guardianswill find thattheywill be the first to fall upon my conquest of this wretched world.Alliance with an Abomination: There have come times where threats beyond even my power have proven to be too much to handle, and as such, I have turned towards myold enemies for aid. Untilthey are no longer of use to me.Always a Bigger Fish: My father, the Anti-Monitor and the cosmic witch that spawned him, Nekron, Doomsday, the being from the other universe they call \"Galactus\", the childish imp Mxyzptlk, and eventhe foolish clownas well as the twisted amalgam of both him and the Dark Knight have been amongst the few that have dwarfed my power. But such dwarfing was but temporary; Darkseid is forever powerful.Always Accurate Attack: Nothing can escape the grasp of my Omega Beams. Once they have their target, nothing can escape their grasp.Anthropomorphic Personification: Of tyranny itself. That I proudly bear, when worlds are crushed beneath my heel.Arch-Enemy: The entirety of my universe, or any universe in which I exist in, fears me, and I in turn despise them for their efforts in stopping me. It will prove insignificant in the long run, for all fall before Darkseid. Kryptonians, Amazons, Lanterns, or others pale in comparison to what I have created. DarkseidIS.Archnemesis Dad: Orion is this to me, though I find him to be a worthy opponent. My father, however...he is the only being I truly feared.Authority Equals Asskicking: Apokolips is ruled by my force alone due to my strength of will. All are nothing compared to Darkseid, and no one ever will be. To those who dare to challenge my reign, I ask you this:how foolish are you to challenge a ''God''?Ax-Crazy: You will find that, when sufficiently angered, I am the mostpowerful being who ever lived. If you are fortunate to survive my anger, consider it one of the few instances of mercy I grant. For when this pitiful world of yours falls, you will be among the first to suffer.Back from the Dead: My Omega Effect has allowed me to return those who have fallen before its power to the land of the living. So long as they have use to me.Badass Boast: There are many a great examples of my demonstrations of power. Few have survived to tell of them.Badass Cape: For a time, I wore such a draping. It proved utterly useless. Perhapsthe small mortalproved correct about it having no purpose.Badass Santa: The cursed gift-giver is somehow able to breach my defenses to grant me a lump of coal each holiday season. When the time comes, I will reduce him to ashes.Bad Boss: Dare to stand against me, or question my judgement, andyou will find torment that not even a thousand hells could deliver.Bald of Evil: I do not require hair. Or perhaps I am incapable. But even so, all others who claim to be evil pale in comparison tomypower.Batman Grabs a Gun: The pathetic mortals on this planet believe thatslaying others who do them harmis but a cardinal sin. Yet I remain an exception. It is only fitting, for only I possess the power to lay entire worlds to waste. Eventhe most ardent of heroeswould dare to break his precious rule should my presence be known.Big Bad: To all of existence, I am this. For DarkseidIS.Bodyguard Babes: The Female Furies act as my elite forces.The Kryptonian's cousinwould have served as my leader, had she only accepted that Darkseid is the true path to salvation.Body Surf:One set of taleschose to depict me as being forced to do this.Breakout Villain:Fewcanboastofbeingpowerful enough to stand out from the cabal of foes the heroes face. Darkseid eclipses them all.Cain and Abel: My older brother now rests amongst the dead, for he could not command the Omega Effect. OnlyImay.Card-Carrying Villain: Free will is but the true enemy of my empire; I proudly shout to the universe that itwill. Be. DESTROYED!Character Tics: My arms rest behind my back.They are not requiredto destroy all before me.The Chessmaster: If the universe will not bend to my will, I shall simply manipulate it into doing so. The New Gods, the Justice League, and all others think they are one step ahead of me. I have already begun to set the wheels in motion; all that is required is to simply wait as my plan brings forth their demise.Cold Ham: Choose how you refer to me carefully. I speak of grand schemes for reality, but such petty insults as calling me a swine will be a swift end for all who utter it.Complete Monster: Yes I am, forDarkseid IS!The Corrupter: Entire worlds have been remade in my image, heroes such asthe Kryptonian,his precious Earth, and many others have been reshaped to servemypurpose.Crapsack World: Apokolips is the worst of hells, kept as such so that those under my service will suffera thousand-fold, and be remolded in my image into loyal servants.Crazy-Prepared: There are few humans I can attest to admiring. One of them is the one called \"Batman\", for his sheer fortitude and strength of will make him the most dangerous of foes I have faced. So when Iensured his \"death\" at my Omega Sanction, I knew he would work tirelessly to return to the present day. Upon doing so, he would self-destruct, taking all of his allies who anxiously awaited his return to their doom. Alas, it seems heanticipated thisand stopped it from unfolding.Well played, Dark Knight.Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: All of reality are but pawns in my schemes. Once those pawns have no use to me, they are discarded\u2014cast out into the void, where they will be reduced to atoms.Dark Is Evil: If any find irony in the name \"Darkseid\", they are sadly mistaken. I am the shadow cast upon this universe.The Dark Side:Not even the one who commands this poweris able to compare to me. For DarkseidIS.Deal with the Devil:Brainiaconce attacked Apokolips after a skirmish with New Genesis left my forces depleted. In order to survive, I cut a deal to bring him Superman in exchange for sparring my world. That deal was a grievous mistake, for Brainiac. Bringing him Superman was nothing more than a ruse to get close enough to control Brainiac with a Mother Box, turning him into an instrument of my will. It is inadequate to compare me to somelowly creature like the devilbut the lesson is learned from that exchange nonetheless; never trust Darkseid.De-power:The tales of my animated self in the timelineof the futuresaw me lose my powers. I am certain this was a temporary setback.Dimension Lord: My homeworld of Apokolips occupies an area outside of the normal reality.Disappeared Dad: My father sought the powers that lay beyond the Source Wall. While I seek such powers for my own, he foolishly tried to simply obtain them without realizing the consequences.Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: To mock me is to suffer. To insult me is to perish. To dare insinuate anything that suggests I am not as prophesied ensures you will suffer as you perish.You may ask Dan Turpin.The Dreaded: The mere utterance of my name is enough to inspire terror, for throughout existence, my reputation as a conqueror has ensured that none will dare to stand against me. For those who do, your death will be swift, for Darkseid is without mercy.Dystopia: Apokolips will be maintained as such under my rule.Dystopia Justifies the Means: Free will is the enemy of my empire, for it inspires others to rise against me. With the Anti-Life Equation in my possession, it will no longer exist. Instead, all will serve me, worship me as the God I am, and bring of all existence to its knees.Early-Installment Weirdness: Ironic, is it not?Jack Kirbyhad once intended me to exist for the onesin another reality, using the very technology I posses to travel in between that dimension and thedimension I call home.The Empire: In spite of my homeworld being the primary focus, thousands of other worlds are under my control, and will be maintained as such to ensure my continued efforts to conquer this pathetic world. Untilthey are no longer of use to me.Enemy Mine: There are few instances of which I will willingly seek the aid of my enemies to stop a greater threat. But I am not above this, for my empire must be maintained. Only Darkseid may rule this pathetic universe, and none will dare to challenge that. Even if it means I must sulk to those who wish for my demise.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Suli...truly you were the only one I ever truly loved. Rest assured, your death was avenged with the swiftest of pain on the party responsible.Dare not repeat this to another soul, but my main motivation inInjustice 2is to avenge the death of my son Kalibak. His lack of success is immensely displeasing, but as much as I wanted to be rid of him, he was my son and the last remaining remnant I had of my beloved Suli.Even Evil Can Be Loved: Suli was the only one who cared for me. I only wishour son, Kalibak, would show some respect for his father.Even Evil Has Standards:I am aware of how you humansengage in more perverted desires. Though I am a conqueror of worlds, the one called \"Sleez\" proved to be even beyond my contempt when he forced the Man of Steel and the former Captain of my Furies into engaging into rather undesirable acts. And though I am also aware ofyet another act of despicableness, rest assured, it will not be under my reign.In thatshow about that bleached clown's sidekick, even I dare not utterthat slurtowards a woman. It is beneath me and if I say something about that person, it is what I truly think of them.In the same show, that doctor whose surname is \"Psycho\" explained his backstory about himhating women came from seeing many people die in a ferris wheel accident. I told him it was illogical and ended the conversation with him.Inanother universeI findthat clownto be nothing more than a raving madman and I contemptibly dismiss him as such.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: There is no such concept of \"good\". It is merely a lie that free will has allowed existence to have simply because they would rather delude themselves with the idea of having a choice. I willtakethat choice away from them, and ensure that no one will dare to defy me again.Evil Genius: Brute strength alone is not enough to win. No, it requires intellect beyond comprehension. It is why many have fallen before me, for they always underestimate the true power thatisDarkseid.Evil Is Petty: DarkseidIS. There is few I will find beneath doing.Evil Overlord: DarkseidIS.Evil Plan: Upon my obtainment of the Anti-Life Equation, all of existence shall be mine.Evil Sounds Deep: My voice commands entire armies into the slaughter of others. Except...the one adaptation you mortals seem to decry more than almost anything. My counterpart there has a distaste, and the voice of,\"Weird Al\" Yankovic? I am beginning to see why such a tale is so divisive. And yet, there seems to be an appeal to this \"Yankovic\"...It does seem to come from him making fools out of those like him by creating mockeries of their work.Evil Uncle: Steppenwolf. Afailureinone universe, and aloyal, but incompetent failurein another, he is, sadly, family. Yet it isIwho commandhim.Evil Versus Evil:The one who believes he is inevitablehas clashed with me before. I wagered with him that he would lose.Eviler than Thou: No matter what the tale, no matter what universe, there is no evil greater than Darkseid.The Evils of Free Will: Under my reign, there will be no free will. This concept is but a lie to bring you comfort; all of existence lives to serve me. There will be no choice. There will be no resistance. DarkseidIS.Exact Words: I employ this to ensure that my deals are honored to the letter, if not the spirit.Bruno Mannheimwas promised to be a king if he served me. And so he was \u2014a king of fools.Eye Beams: My Omega Beams seek out those who I target, and vaporize them to dust.Fate Worse than Death: On Apokolips, you will learn suffering. No amount of torture will compare to just how devastating I can truly be, especially if you dare to question me. But the Omega Sanction? You'll find your pain increased by a thousand fold, and nothing you do can ensure a quick and painless end.Faux Affably Evil:I am a force of evilanda necessity. And though I offer deference of respect towards anyone who beat me, I will still make them suffer.Fighting a Shadow: Defeating me is an impossible feat. Should you accomplish this, you will find one of my avatars is the one you have bested. For none can defeat Darkseid.Fights Like a Normal: In spite of my powers, I choose to use my fists to crush the Man of Steel, if not, my Omega Beams.Foil: The Man of Steel represents the truest of heroes in all of reality, whereas I am the most powerful of villains to live in all of existence. He represents truth, justice, the American Way, and the ability to choose one's own path. I am lies, tyranny, destruction, and conquest all in one.Foregone Conclusion: They believe in the future that I will be forgotten. The so-calledLegion of Super-Heroesthinks that I, who brought all of reality to its knees, will be a footnote in history. Perhaps they will learn how wrong they are?Formula for the Unformulable: loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth \u00f7 mockery \u00f7 condemnation \u00f7 misunderstanding \u00d7 guilt \u00d7 shame \u00d7 failure \u00d7 judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side.Freudian Excuse: I was never destined to be anything else but a conqueror. Though perhaps, had my beloved Suli lived that I may have taken a more \"benevolent\" path. Oh, mother. In some ways I must thank you, for all of existence is but another obstacle for me to conquer.From Nobody to Nightmare:In times of old,I was but a mud farmer named Uxas. It was I who turned the Old Gods against one another, and slaughtered them to seize power for my own. And to think, a mere man became a god who has since gone on to bring the universe to its knees. Ironic.Galactic Conqueror: Across countless worlds, for countless eons, not a voice is raised in hope or joy. Across these worlds, these infinite lands throughout the cosmos, there is onlyDarkseid.Generic Doomsday Villain: When thatspeedsterreset the universe, my first action was to simply conquer Earth, with little remorse or pity. Some found my motives to be...lacking. Yet this is what Darkseid does. Conquest is in my nature, and it shall be, so long as I command it.Genius Bruiser: My prowess lies with my intellect, not in my pure strength. Yet should you dare to approach me, you will be yet another stain beneath my foot.A God Am I: There is no need to exaggerate; I am the onetruegod - the god of gods.God Couple: TheDark Phoenixwas once the object of my affections.God in Human Form: InDC Infinite Frontier, I was stopped in my attempt to obtain the powers of the crack by Doctor Multiverse from Earth 8. As it was sent far away to the Limbos of the Multiverse where that female amalgamation of the clown and the Dark Knight almost took it first, Doctor Multiverse sent me to Earth 33 where I ended up becoming Ulrich SaxmannoteAnd if you must know, he does not exist in your world. It was just an alias of mine. For those who do not know, Earth 33 is essentially your own world, troper, and it was there I became the editor ofDC Comics. I realized my position and made sure stories involving me had me win in the end.God of Evil: If one must describe my power, I am but the God of Tyranny.God of Gods: I will acknowledge that the others under my servitude \u2014 DeSaad, Granny Goodness, Steppenwolf, and others \u2014 are gods themselves. But all pale in comparison to Darkseid.Gods Need Prayer Badly:It would seem, intimes of old, the Old Gods required this to survive. How pitiful.Godzilla Threshold: My existence is enough to warrant the most extreme of actions.Gone Horribly Right: Mymother Heggrawanted me to be the most extreme of conquerors. Shesucceeded well in that regard. I suppose, for all her faults, she did me a favor, for I realized that all of existence is but meaningless, so long as Darkseid is not there to rule them.Greater-Scope Villain: All of reality fears that which is truly inevitable...that of the will of Darkseid.Happiness in Slavery: It matters not how much suffering I bring to my world, for all choose to worship me as a god. Liberate this planet, and all will return to my side as if their freedom was meaningless.Hero Killer: I have brought countless heroes to their doom through my power. Pray thatyouare not amongst them.Hidden Depths: One of my servants once saw that I felt an emptiness inside of me. That servant learned quickly that I would not be seen as weak, for Darkseid is all.Homing Lasers: My Omega Beams will always find and hit their target, no matter what. If they choose to take their time, it is becauseI find your suffering amusing.Humanoid Abomination: All fear my power, for DarkseidIS.I Lied: Do not assume I will honor my word. Onceyou are of no use to me, you will be disposed of. That is what Darkseid wills.Informed Attribute: There is nothing informed about me. DarkseidIS. None dare to equal my power. There are others who can boast to having brought trouble to the pitiful heroes of this world, but few have truly inspired fear in them as Darkseid.Immortality: As a God, my powers allow me to exist for all of time. Which means, for your pitiful world, there will never be a moments rest where I seek to conquer it, and obtain the Anti-Life Equation for my own. And if you are foolish enough to try to kill me, know that your suffering will be as slow and painful as possible.Inadequate Inheritor: None are worthy to command my power, for none compare to Darkseid.Individuality Is Illegal: Live for Anti-Life. Die for Darkseid. Such shall be willed as I see fit. Do not question it.EVER.In the Blood: My son, Orion, possesses the strength of will and a temper after my own. A shame he uses the Mother Box to hinder this; he would have made a fine conqueror.Invincible Villain: There are none that can defeat me, let alone harm me, for DarkseidIs.It's All About Me: The devourer of worlds known asGalactusonce tried to consume my world. I fought vigorously to end him, but his power proved equal to that of my own. Yet he found my planet could not be devoured, and questioned why I dared to resist him in such a manner, knowing he could not take Apokolips. I simply told him I am just a slave to my own nature as he is to his own.Jerkass: DarkseidIS. Know that mercy is non-existant, free will is but a lie, and failure is punishable by death. Or torture, if I am feeling merciful.Kick the Dog: I will remind all of humanity and their pathetic defenders of their failures for years to come, for they must know that when their world has been reduced to ashes, they will truly understand that I am the end of all.Kill the God: I am a God for a reason; all others who claim to bear this title fell before my might, and their powers became my own. For DarkseidIS.Knight of Cerebus: Fools! You believe your journey will be free of peril and true danger? Then perhapsIshall show you the folly of your ways.Kryptonite Factor: Radion is the only element in reality capable of killing me. Not that it will matter, for Darkseid endures all and even more unfortunate for you Radion is rarer than the Kryptonian's Achilles' heel.Lack of Empathy: Pity, mercy, remorse... all these words mean nothing to me. They are but weaknesses that ensure the foolish continue to remain as meager mortals. I, on the other hand...Large and in Charge: My size is but towering over all\u2014my appearance is merely that of your own courtesy of the Boom Tubes used to travel between my dimension and your own. And yet, in spite of it, my stature is indicative as to my power, for none rule as great as Darkseid.Large Ham:(GAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!)I warned you what would befall you if you chose to refer to me as a swine yet again. My Omega Beams will reduce all to ash! Thousands of worlds perished beneath my heel! DarkseidIs!Laser-Guided Karma: Do you know why my mother chose to punish me by killing my beloved Suli? Because I chose to corrupt DeSaad. Ironic that he would aid in her demise.Leotard of Power: My choice of attire embodies this concept to its fullest.Light Is Not Good: Though colorful my choice of outfit may be, it is far from good. No, Darkseid is all that embodies evil itself.Love Redeems: Suli nearly brought me back to the light. My mother saw otherwise, and soon shared in my beloved's fate.Luke, I Am Your Father: Orion knew not of his heritage. He would learn of it, for what Darkseid wills to be shall occur. And yet, just likethe one who spawned this phenomena, he has yet to embrace his true powers.Magnificent Bastard: I was formerly considered as such, but was cut for being too heinous,which is to my desire. Rest assured, I am stillBrilliant.Matricide: My own mother fell before my hand.And you foolish mortals chose to celebrate her demise.Meta Guy:Darkseid remembers all of reality before theCrisis on Infinite Earthsorthe Scarlet Speedster's folly. For I know all.Morality Pet: Suli, the only one I ever loved, may have granted me morality at one point. But my mother saw to her demise...and she in turn sawall of existence at my mercy.Multiversal Conqueror: With the Anti-Life Equation, all of existencewill. Be. MINE.Names to Run Away from Really Fast:Darkseid, Lord of Apokolips- it is rightly feared throughout reality, for DarkseidIS.A Nazi by Any Other Name: I have often been compared to the most vile villains of Earth's history, yet some may argue that I am worse.The Nicknamer: Those who are not from Apokolips are deemed as I see fit.The Kryptonian, for example, will not be referred to as \"Superman\" until I deem it so.No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Only my son and the Kryptonian have bested me in combat. In all other times, all fell before Darkseid.No-Nonsense Nemesis: DarkseidIS. There is no room for frailties; the time to action is nigh.Not So Above It All: I am well aware of my reputation by my choosing to sit on your Earth couches, but nothing is beneath me. Doing so proves that it is a superior act onlyIcan carry out.Obviously Evil:Be it so obvious, it is little wonder your species requires my hand to conquer it.Offing the Offspring: In thetale of my triumph, Orion was felled by own hand usinga bullet made of the only substance that can kill beings like myself. Later on,the Dark Knightreturned the favor.Oh, Crap!: There are few instances of which I am truly frightened. The monsterDoomsday, the Black Racer, and a select few have elicited this reaction from me, but my mere presence does this to all who bear witness to it.Omnicidal Maniac: I will grind this universe to dust and place it under my control.The Mad Titanbelieves himself inevitable. DarkseidIS.Orcus on His Throne:DeSaadhandles the routines on Apokolips, while I simply watch my empire continue to rise. Unless the situation requires my direct attention, in which case, all will fear my fury.Papa Wolf:Surprising as it may be to you, DeSaad was slain by my hand for daring to kill Orion. That is a fate I reserve for myself.The Paranoiac: My actions have left me concerned that there will always be a chance my power will be threatened. Which is why I take no chances, and why, once the Anti-Life Equation is obtained, free-will itself will no longer exist. All will serve Darkseid.Parental Favoritism: Orion is the only son I value, for he is the only of the three that I find as powerful as myself.Perpetual Frowner: Rarely do I take pleasure in my actions, for Darkseid requires no joy. However, I will allow myself the occasional indulgence.Pet the Dog: I truly did love Suli...truly...Physical God: I am many things, but on Apokolips,I AM GOD.Power Copying: Much of my powers come from slaying the old gods, and claiming their gifts as my own. For if they could not wield such power, who else could, but Darkseid?Power Creep, Power Seep: Some tales dare tomake me weak, other show me asthe ultimate threat to the universe.Pragmatic Villainy: My methods may not produce immediate results, but they work because they are effective. Time travel proves too great of a risk, and Sleez...truly it disgust me that the limited scope of his ability was to force the Kryptonian to engage in a filmed act of lust.Psychotic Smirk: I do allow myself this indulgence from time to time. After all, when victory is obtained, one must celebrate as required.Punny Name: Choose to mock me at your own peril, mortal...The Quest: My goal is to obtain the Anti-Life equation, eradicate free will, and ensure my reign over all of existence.Rage Against the Heavens: The Old Gods dared to make us fodder in their follies. So I slew them all.Raise Him Right This Time:My own daughter, Grail, in themoment of my triumph, ended my life twice to become a pawn to be used by the Anti-Life Equation. The results turned me into an infant, and she dared to raise me with love and kindness.How foolish of her to think I did not posses my true gifts, and hence I returned as I always was \u2014 as I alwaysam. For DarkseidIS.Rasputinian Death:The tale ofFinal Crisissaw me killed many times. Discuss what transpired at your own peril.Really Gets Around: There have been many a women who has been blessed by Darkseid's presence...until they are no longer of use to me.Religion of Evil: The Church of Crime, Intergang, and all of Apokolips dedicate themselves to their worship of my might. For DarkseidIS.Resurrected for a Job: If I require assistance from those I have killed, I will bring them back, but only so long as they serve my purpose.Roboteching: My Omega Beams are capable of striking all of their targets, even altering their angle to ensure they strike with a fierce blow.Rogues' Gallery Transplant: TheNew Gods, theLegion of Super-Heroes,Superman, and theJustice League of Americahave all fought me. Truly I amthe one they fear the most.Satanic Archetype: There are others that bear a striking resemblance to the devil, yet they pale in comparison to my power.Self-Made Orphan: Heggra, mydear, sweet mother, was slain by my hand.Sleeves Are for Wimps: Darkseid does not require sleeves, for I alone posses the strength of a thousand armies.Slouch of Villainy: The throne of Apokolips stands a testament to my power. As do the couches of Earth.Stalker with a Crush: The Amazon was the subject of such an usual desire inmy debut.The Sociopath: Love? Compassion? Beh. All are weaknesses I have no need for. All will suffer under my heel, and the universe will bend to my whim, no matter who suffers.The Stoic: I never required emotions to exist, for my true goal is beyond them. All will soon learn, as I have, that Darkseid is the ultimate power.Not So Stoic: I admit, there are times when I am not above this.The Dark Knight once managed to gain access to the hellspores -- the weapons I use to turn planets to firepits. He had somehow turned them against me, and would have destroyed Apokolips. The fool dared to use them against me, and it is here that I truly lost control to beat him within an inch of his life. He still won in the end, but I was...impressed. Had the Kryptonian orthe Amazontaken that gamble, they surely would have lost. But him? A mere human? They kill their own kind to win battles. It is an...admirable quality.Sufficiently Advanced Alien: Science, magic, and technology all fall under my whim, for there is nothing I cannot command.Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum:As this tale will demonstrate.Super-Persistent Missile: My Omega Beams will not stop until they strike their target.Super Strength: My powers grant the ability to crush entire armies with the stroke of my finger. Even the Kryptonian is but a stone in my hand, easily crushed beneath my power.Taking You with Me: If I was to be killed, all of existence would fade with me, for I will see that my death triggers an eternity of suffering.Time Abyss: Through my immortally, Darkseid will live for all eternity. I have spent thousands of years conquering worlds, and I will continue to do so for all time.Too Powerful to Live: Finally crossed the line inFinal Crisis.Too Spicy For Yog Sogoth: That fool of a sorceror fromOutworldtried to absorb my soul. Punishment from his Emperor would have beenmerciful and preferablecompared to what I had in store for him.Touched by Vorlons: I claimed the Omega Effect from the corpse of my own kin, courtesy of my own hands removing the life from his body.Tranquil Fury: In spite of my tenancies, I never allow myself to lose control. Instead, I channel my fury into my power, but use it to wipe all who oppose my reign from the very fabric of reality. Rarely do I lose my temper, but should I ever, pray to whatever gods you worship, for the end is nigh.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:A pair of humanspitted me againstthe Mad Titanin a fight to the death.As expected, I crushed him beneath my heel and subjected him to the Omega Sanction for his impudence. To paraphrase one of them, that lowly dog needed a reality-warping superweapon to attain godhood, whereas I havealwaysbeen a god.DARKSEID IS.Undying Loyalty: All choose to worship me, and serve me without question, either out of fear of my wrath, or of true, genuine loyalty. This loyalty pleases me, but know thatthose who betray mewill wish for a far moremerciful fate.The Un-Favourite: Grayven. What a fool. He believes himself tobe me, and has tried tobetray me many times. Kalibak may be anfool, but his loyalty is without question. Grail is far too ambitious for her own good, but she is the true warrior that Grayven only thinks he is. And Orion...though a traitor, he has proven capable enough to face me with his gifts.Villain Decay:(GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!)Another foolish mortal dares to question my power. They believe me to have become weak. While there are times that I appear to have become a victim to my own abilities,know that all who did so were avatars of myself. I do not falter, for DarkseidIS.A Villain Named Khan: My father, Yuga Khan, happens to embody this. He is, much to my shame, one of the few beings I truly fear.Villainous Breakdown: The Dark Knight and the Amazon have been the few who have truly angered me - the former nearly destroyed my homeworld, and the latter dared to give me compassion. I will ensure they suffer for it, for they will be the first to act as my servants.Villain's Dying Grace: If they are to have bested me, my enemies will suffers as always, by being rendered to a life of free will.Villains Out Shopping: I have allowed myself the one indulgence to purchase pornography,but only so my son, Mister Miracle, could see that it contained his wife as one of the stars.Villain Team-Up: A few that aren't subordinate to me try like Manheim and Brainiac but it ends poorly for them.The Worf Effect: There are times when others have bested me,only for me to best them in a far more powerful manner.Worthy Opponent: The entire Justice League, though particularlythe Kryptonianandthe mortal Batman,have all displayed considerable merits in battle. It doesn't spare them from my wrath, but I concede they were rather unique amongst mortal kind.You Have Failed Me: No amount of loyalty will spare you from endless suffering should you fail to accomplish what I desire.You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Fail me, and you will find that no amount of suffering will compare to what actions I will take to make you beg for the sweet release of death.You Kill It, You Bought It: My son once slew me and took my place to claim Apokolips as his kingdom. Yet my death made it far worse than it ever could have been. Heh. My own offspring.Just like your father.And now, mortal, do you truly understand all that is. Have you decided to swear your eternal loyalty to me? For if so, you will be among the first to reap the benefits of my empire. If not,(activates Omega Beams)you have witnessed what my power is capable of. Now, choose. And know that if you choose poorly, no amount of begging will spare you from my wrath. For DarkseidIS.Darkseid IS"} {"text": "This is how you people spend life?!Famous last words. Mine were \"You know, from up here it almost looks like that guy with a hook is holding a rifle...\"\u2014The ghost of Boston Brand(Best done in the voice of Raphael Sbarge or Michael Rosenbaum.)So yeah. Lemme tell you a bit about myself. The name's Boston Brand, akaDeadman. Before I was killed, I used to be a circus trapeze artist who performed under that name and used the nice costume you see before you. I admit I wasn't the most pleasant guy under the big top (I was co-owner and wouldyouput up with drunken lion tamers and embezzling employees?) and my girlfriend didn't care for my macabre style for my act, but life was good, until it ended. During one of my performances, I was assassinated by someone in the crowd with a hook for a hand. The bullet shattered my back, but it was the fall that killed me. Despite all this, my spirit was given the ability to possess any living being by Rama Kushna, a powerful Hindu goddess, so I could find whoever killed me and earn some justice in this world.I first appeared inStrange Adventures#205 (October, 1967). Initially I was written by Arnold Drake (Ya heard of him? He used to pal around with theDoom Patrol) and drawn by Carmine Infantino, although they got replaced by Jack Miller and Neal Adams - him you've definitely heard of, he's a friend ofBatman's - after my first appearance, and I got to be depicted by an artist who would redefine the medium's visual style as radically as I tried to with the trapeze act.So I came back from my meeting with Rama, and found a bunch of smugglers who were using the circus as a front for smuggling drugs (the firstComics Code-approved story to have narcotics mentioned, years beforeStan Leebutted heads with the CCA with hisSpider-Manstory). Being dead, that stuff technically wasn't my business anymore, but it seems my conscience was still alive as ever and I had to step in as I traded in my acrobat calling for theSuper Heroone. So, while I was looking around for my killer, I kept getting sidetracked by the other baddies I had to stop as well. Eventually I happened upon the man who had killed me. However it turned out he had only killed me as part of an initiation ritual intoRa's al Ghul's League of Assassins who then killed him to keep him quiet, following me so far? But it then turned out that this group all had a hook for a hand and that the person I thought killed me had his hook on his left hand rather than the right.Been through a few other things over the years. Rama Kushna had me battle a sorceress over the lives of some deceased costumed heroes. At the same time I paid my dear brother a personal visit, only for him to die while I was hanging around doing the same act I used to do before I was killed. Then I helped run this city where supervillains could live and behave themselves, only it got invaded and destroyed and they were set loose again.However then something people call theBlackest Nightappeared and suddenly everyone was coming back to life, sorta. This included my own body. Turns out everyone had been possessed by black rings and were made to serve some master of death. At the end of it a bunch ofrainbow coloured ringslingersmanaged to defeat this guy, but not before some white rings went and resurrected abunchofotherheroes properly. Somehow this included me. They were calling it theBrightest Day, a whole new start. Me, I had the last white ring on my finger, and no idea what I was supposed to do apart fromdestroy my own grave. Turned out, the ring had its own ideas, and ended up dragging me around the universe, setting things up so it could take down this master of death's final attack. In the little time Iwasn'tdoing that, Iate some cheeseburgers. Hell, I even got myself a girlfriend. But once entity-thing was done with that - wham, dead again, andstill no restfor yours truly.Oh well, at least I also got to star on TV in an episode ofJustice LeagueUnlimitedand co-star in an episode ofBatman: The Brave and the Bold. A super-deformed version of me starred in a couple of shorts made by the guy who madeChowder, where for some reason I have a raven for a pet. It's kinda adorable actually.I represent these tropes:All-Powerful Bystander: Part of a group with the Phantom Stranger and the Spectre inCrisis on Infinite Earths.Anti-Hero: I'm a type II; I'm no Superman, but I'm still a heroic guy.Back from the Dead: Thanks to that Entity duringBrightest Day. Sadly, it didn't last.Barred from the Afterlife: Kinda. I can visit, but not for good.Becoming the Mask: A literal example. I don't naturally look like a ghost, it's my circus outfit that I died in. I didn't learn for a long time that I could actually take the mask off.The Cameo: I may not beBatmanfamous, but enough writers are fans of mine enough to throw me in a story even if they don't give me anything to do.Chivalrous Pervert: I'd do anything for a pretty face. Gets me in trouble a lot.The Chosen One: By Rama. Turns out I wasn't the first one either, but the first guy went bad.Christmas Episode: One Christmas I gotreal depressedover beingThe Greatest Story Never Toldfor the most part. Then someblonde womanwho apparentlywas wiped from existenceassured me that it doesn't even matter if people know you're helping if you make a difference.Boston:Merry Christmas, Kara... whoever you are.Circus of Fear: When you're a ghost acrobat, you wind up dealing with one or two of 'em.Combat Pragmatist: Possessing people leads to a lot of fun in combat. Turning enemies against each other, suddenly taking control of weapons, lots of tricky stuff.Cosmic Plaything: Fortwocosmics; first Rama Kushna made me a ghost to do her bidding and then that white ring dragged me all over the universe.Dark Is Not Evil: Yeah, I may look pretty creepy if you can see me and I do possess living people, but it's almost always for a good cause, trust me. If I didn't have to, I wouldn't...there are plenty of living joes out there creepier than I am.Deader than Dead: Okay, if I get killed while possessing someone, that's it for me. So I gotta be careful.Death by Origin Story: Me, natch. Otherwise I wouldn't be \"Deadman\".Demonic Possession:Ghostlypossession. I look creepy, but I'mnotdemonic.Depending on the Artist: Most versions of me look like I did in costume when I was alive, but some guys like to show me looking more like a rotting corpse, or evena skeleton.Depending on the Writer: Am I a friendly ghost who likes to joke around, or a lonely guy who hates his lot in death? I go through phases.Did Not Get the Girl: I love the ladies, and some of 'em even love me back. But for one reason or another, I usually end up alone. Sometimes they're evil. Sometimes they're ghosts and pass on once I help 'em. There are even a couple who were alive, but it just didn't work out.Dimensional Traveler: I can go anywhere I want to.Doom Magnet: Since I'm already dead, nothing bad ever really happens to me. Unfortunately, this means to keep the story interesting, bad things happen to the people around me.The Greatest Story Never Told: Very very few people even know I exist.Holding Back the Phlebotinum: There's always some reason I can't just possess theBig Bad. Rama Kushna forbid my job is easy once in a while.Home Base: Nanda Parbat, a Shangri-La-like place where the goddess I work for lives. I can interact with living people normally there, so I go there sometimes.Hypercompetent Sidekick: My buddy Max Loomis, a midget acrobat detective who understands spiritual stuff a lot better than I do.Invincible Hero: For the most part. Some magic mumbo-jumbo aside, there really isn't any way to hurt a ghost.Invisible to Normals: It sucks, but I've got some friends who can see me, mostly magical heroes.Irony: I was a flamboyant stuntman who loved showing off to crowds. Now I'mThe Greatest Story Never Told.Jacob Marley Apparel: I'm stuck wearing the costume I was wearing when I died. Ironically, the outfit was designed to make me appear like a ghost.Killed Off for Real:In one universe.Legacy Character: Inthe world where Superman goes crazy,I get bumped off and choose Nightwing as my replacement.May\u2013December Romance: Almost had one with Madame Xanadu, who's at least a thousand years older than me, but she cut it off just as we were starting to go somewhere.Meaningful Name: I'm dead and a I'm a man, get it?Miles to Go Before I Sleep: I'd love to rest in peace, but I had to find my killer first, but before I could even do that, there was always someone that needed help. It can make a guy think thatBeing Good Sucks.Mr. Exposition: InKingdom Come, I basically get Norm McCay up to speed on what's going on from a metaphysical sense. I even give him some advice about his dour guide The Spectre.My God, What Have I Done?: I don't have the best track record with keeping people I possess alive.New Powers as the Plot Demands: Sometimes my powers don't really make sense. I'll be able to possess paintings or read the memories of people I take control of, even though those abilities are never shown before or since.Our Ghosts Are Different: There are other ghosts around, but there's only one of me.Possessing a Dead Body: One o' the many tricks in my arsenal. Just gotta be sure I never try it on a Black Lantern.Psychopomp: Sometimes I help other dead people pass on.Rebellious Spirit: If I don't agree with Rama, I won't follow her orders. Sometimes it works out well. Sometimes it doesn't.Sealed in a Person-Shaped Can: First I got stuck in an evil version of Aquaman's dead body, thinkin' I was him. When I came to my senses. Constantine trapped me inside for a while.Trademark Favorite Food: Can't get enough of cheeseburgers. Sometimes I'll even possess somebody just to get a taste.Twin Switch: My twin brother Cleveland took up my act after I died.It eventually got him killed too.I wasn't happy about it.Unfinished Business: My original reason for sticking around.

I'm aMarvel ComicsmercenaryAnti-Herocharacter, related to theX-MenandWolverinein particular. I appeared in print for the first time inNew Mutants#98 (February, 1991) as aripoffofDCmercenaryDeathstroke the Terminator. But, that's old news. I'm all-new, I'm all-different, and boy, does that feel good!I'm in a little bit of EVERYTHINGin theMarvel Universe. As you're probably noticingjustabout now,I loooooove to talk. Yes, it's my most valuable asset: the lungs to provide endless witty banter in the heat of battle! In fact,everybodyloves to hear me talk! (Hey! I saw that pothole!)OK, I know what you're asking yourself: \"Why?Why, Wade, why Wade,why?\" I've got mymemetic monologues, Italk to my loyal (but still weaker) fans(likenow, for instance), and I reference all the stuff you love. You lucky, lucky nerds!You ask, \"how did Wade Wilson becomethe sexiest mercenary alive?\" Tricky question, lots of retcons. Best I remember is some nice ice-cream salesmen told me they could fix my terminal cancer by injecting me withWolverine's man-juice (and by that I mean his DNA.Perv) and I became better, faster, strongerer and even gotthe ability to heal quickly, so that whenever the cancer shows up itinstantlygets fixed... which is good, because it keeps showing up. As in, instantlyafterit gets fixed. I becameso freaking handsomethatmy brain exploded. Eventually, my magical insanity powers allowed me to figure out thatI'm a comic book character. From then on, I became BFFs with my thought bubbles, exposition panels, andStan Lee. My fellow Weapon X classmates had run apoolto figure out which one of us would bedeadfirst, so I naturally named myselfDr. Professor Carlos Winston Lazarus McBatman.

Because of his portrayal, People Magazine named him (and by association, moi) Sexiest Man AlivenoteSeriously! The only reason this movie gotmadeis because he made and starred in his own mock trailer of me sketching a kill in crayon before jumping off a freeway overpass into an SUV and beating the ever-loving shit out of everyone in it! And showing them the drawing!And he made sure theydidn'tsew my fucking mouth shut this time, so my new movie has 100% of your daily recommended intake of fourth wall-breaking obscenity!And now I'm about to join the freakin'Marvel Cinematic Universe!Thanks, Mickey!Your bottomless pockets have made this Merc With A Mouth's wish upon a star come true. Now I get to hang out with Spidey,Bennysnitch, and about seven handsome Chrises on the silver screen! Oh, and to make things even better, my buddy Ryan's coming along for the ride once again! And to start my tenure under their family friendly roof,here's me and a rock guy.... golem..person reviewing a trailerfor some movieabout a guy in a video game or something. Apparently Ryan's in it andanother guy who sounds like the rock guy too.I don't thinkthey've everworked together beforeuntil these.To be honest, I kinda checked out after I got my internet money.I'm all over the toons and games, too, withNolan Northproviding my heavenly voice inHulk Vs. WolverineandMarvel vs. Capcom 3,F*@# THE KNICKS!noteI'm also crossing my fingers that someone pulls Perlmutter's stick out his butt so me and the other X-Men will be inMarvel vs. Capcom: Infinite'cuz do you really thinkBlack Panthercan suitably fit in the Wolverinefunction? Can't see T'Challa as a masher type. And whileFrank is the first Marvel character that Capcom dipped their toes in, he lacks the je ne sais quoi that I have to offer. Unfortunately due to a combination of Perlmutter being the biggest pain in the ass to work with along with gamers flocking toDBFZ, Capcom decided to cut their losses. All because Ike was so butthurt about the X-Men belonging to Fox at the time and trying to push the Inhumans so hard that it became a dumspter fire whentheir shoestring budget showbombed big time.John Kassir (y'know,The Crypt Keeperandthe first Ice King?) moved my vocal cords inX-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypseand bothMarvel Ultimate Alliancegames.North also voiced my toy self inLEGO Marvel Super Heroes! (and no, don't ask me why that wannabeGwentook over my role in the sequel; stupid Perlmutter has probably something to do with it, remind me to fill his shoes with Legos) And I'm all over those games that people probably play in their toilets, such asMarvel Future Fight,Marvel Tournament Of ChampionsandMarvel Puzzle Quest, with that last having so much me they added aSpirit of VengeanceDeadpool! Better ready myNicolas Cageimpressions.And now I havemy own game!And it's all about me! Mankind, you're welcome. Why are you still reading this? GO BUY MY GAME! Don't pay no mind to those critics that gave it \"mixed reviews\" or some crap like that, they don't know jack about video games anyway. Trust me, my game'sthatawesome.ANDI've got a both areal pinball tableand adigital one! How cool is that?! They're the greatest pinball gaming experiences of all time (well, at least better than thatIron Mantableanyway).I get to appear in the more kid-friendlyAvengers Disk Warsand itsSpiritual SuccessorFuture Avengers, with my beautiful Japanese voice provided byTakehito Koyasuwho you all may know better as Mr.\"ZA WARUDO!\", who's considered to be the Japanese counterpart to my good pal, Nolan (I wonder why they broughJason Spisakin for the dub, then?), not to mention considered possibly the seiyuu with sexiest voice. Thanks a lot, Toei! Because even for you Japanese weeaboos, I will still sound so sexay!InUltimate Spider-ManI starred in a episode geniuosly titled \"Ultimate Deadpool\"!My Real DaddyJoe Kelly wrote the script, andWill Friedleprovides my voice (notNolan North, but still does a great job and I am younger here than in other depictions). This show turned me into a formerS.H.I.E.L.D.agent, since the titular web-head gets his training through them. Considering how blatantly he stole my fourth wall-breaking, cutaway-inducing shticks, I kind of wish I replaced him as the star (and that \"Ultimate Deadpool\" title card looked pretty sweet too)! Unfortunately it was a one time thing. Mainly cause my veryR-Ratedmovie was on the horizon and well, this showwasunder Disney's roof (I mean before Ididofficially join them, but y'know, kids show). Plus that whole tug of way between Fox and Disney over X-Men rights going on too. Feh, didn't want to be in this merchandise-fueled charade anyway. Heard their Squirrel Girl was way too hyper too and I already deal with her enough in the comics, thank you.Iwasgoing to get an animated series on FX, but something about creative difference kept it from transitioning to the realm of reality. Honestly I could've lived with it, butthat motorcycle sounding bimbo had to make fun of me for it when she got her little cartoon series. But I'm a big man, got that tough skin, you know? Nothing some Ben and Jerry's and decapitated hyena heads in her bed can't fix.If you still can't get enough of my wonderful self, I'm also appearing inMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order(with Nolan back in business when it comes to playing me) for theNintendo Switch\u2014 which means you can play with meanywhere!noteIt's okay, I don't kink shame.I heard if you downloaded the Season Pass, you got to play as me early and got one of my favorite Taco Night outfits! I don\u2019t think there could be a better pre-order bonus out there!Who wants tacos???And now I'm starring ina brand new mangacollaboration between Marvel and Shueisha. Expect many Jump references.Some of the many beautiful tropes that describe me include:open/close all foldersA-F'90s Anti-Hero: Some people think this was myOld Shame, but I was never anAnti-Heroin the 90's, just in my debut (my REALOld Shamefor being aDeathstrokeripoff). I was mostly just neutral at my most awesome or aPunch-Clock Villainat my second most awesome. Also, I was funny even back then, thanks to Mr. Nicieza.Achievements in Ignorance: That gambit mentioned below was almost messed up when I pushed Domino through a skylight, but she was lucky; the 372,844 pancakes I'd made that morning broke her fall. (Why? Dunno. Who says I need a reason to bake 372,844 pancakes?)Accuser of the Brethren: Sometimes I don't get to change because of the writers, sometimes they enforce that through the retribution of the loooooooong list of people I've wronged who don't want me to change.Adaptational Attractiveness: Whose the badass who made this tropedramatic? THIS GUY! In the comics, my ugliness varies from \"humanoid wad of cancer\" to \"mistaken for Freddy Krueger cosplay\",Depending on the Artist. ButbecauseI'm so ugly, I just keep the mask on and ignore it. Inmy big movie, I'm played byRyan Rodney Reynoldswith a bit of facial makeup. And because I'm notinhumanlyugly, I can obsess over the fact that I'm ruined and I have to hunt down Francis to unmake it.noteLying bastard.Adaptational Badass:Dudepeelshould not be me. But, if I have to admit it, he is a lottougherthan me. Instead of a teleporter and old-fashioned swords, he's got built-in teleportation andsome kinda crossbetweenWolvie clawsandkatana blades.Affably Evil: I am \"sadistic, evil, but charming as hell.\"All Love Is Unrequited: The kittenishly sexy Irene Merryweather doesn't care about yours truly; she's hot for Nate. Guess I gotta abide by the bro code...Alliterative Name: Wade Winston Wilson.Nolan NorthandRyan Rodney Reynoldshave both done my voice.See what I did there?Alternate Universe: Several iterations of yours truly have been made into comic form for your perusal. There's also that Deadpool Corps thing, where we're all alternates of ourselves! FUN!And since Marvelknowsyou guys just can't get enough of me, they madeDeadpool Kills Deadpooljust to show how many of me they can stuff in the same comic - and how many of me I can slaughter!Always Someone Better: So what if people call me the discount version of Wolverine? That guy can get his butt kicked by refrigerator magnets!Anti-Hero: I am normally aNominal Hero, although it reallydepends on who's writing me.Anti-Villain: I'm aNoble Demonon theSliding Scale of Anti-Villains.Some Creepy Shapeshifter:You won't kill me. You're a superhero.Me:No. I'm not. [Neck Snap]Arch-Enemy:So, me and this jerkass merc called T-Ray didn't get along, and I assumed that it was just because he was, y'know, a totallyjellyjerkass, but then it turned out to be because he thinks he's the real Wade Wilson, and that I stole his name after offing him and his wife, Mercedes. Nobody really knows what's what (both of us being a bit loco will do that) but he doesn't really care and wants to make me pay anyway.You'd think Madcap and me would be the best of pals, we seem so alike, but I didn't like him rattling around in my brain after we fused that one time, and he didn't take me not taking that well very well, so he's dumped his absurdism shtick and is now all about making me miserable by destroying my rep (not hard, admittedly) and then me.Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Remember tropers, Ultimate Me isavailable for black ops, missions, assassinations, and birthday parties!And when I made a guest appearance (or two or six) onI'm a Marvel... And I'm a DC, I talked about how my guns allow me to interrogate people, shoot fleeing suspects, and get free DVDs from Best Buy!Ass Kicking Pose: Iinvokeit inHulk Vs. Wolverine, and it did the trick.Ass Shove: I have to usea lotof lube to hold all of my weapons.Atop a Mountain of Corpses: InCable & Deadpool#26, natch!Attractive Bent-Gender: I can really work a Marilyn Monroe dress. Even Agent Preston agrees.Audience? What Audience?: I do so enjoy our little chats, even if they seem to confuse the hell out of both my friends, enemies, and frenemies alike, because they can really only hear my end of them, so from their perspective I just look I'm staring into empty space with a goofy expression on my face and monologuing. Of course, I can't really hear your replies eithernoteUnless that Deadpool-brandedDating Simproject I keep pitching to the higher-ups at Disney happens to get approved some day...Sigh.Oh, well. A man can dream.so I guess they might be kinda right, but they don't have to know that.Ax-Crazy: TheUltimate Marvelversion of me rivals the me fromDeadpool Kills the Marvel Universein terms of how violent he is. Except inSpider-Man: Shattered DimensionswherePeter Davidmakes Ultimate me into the lovable merc you all love.Baa-Bomb: I had an inflatable sheep gun at one point. Unfortunately, the one time you feebs have the honor of seeing it, it fails me.Yours Truly: Missed? Inevermiss with the sheep gun.Badass Transplant: While my skills are 100% home grown, I'm not a mutant. My powers are a gift from Wolverine by way of the Weapon X program.Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: I once made a promise to Sandi that I wouldn't kill herabusive boyfriend. Tasky... didn't make any promises.Bat Family Crossover: The eventTil Death Do Us.(seriously Marvel, why you hate the marriage?) that involved me, myfriends, the \"Mercs for Money\", andmy new buddy Spidey.Batman Gambit: Okay, how did I pull this one off again? Uhm... During theDark ReignI think... Oh, right! It all involved the manipulation of the X-Men, HAMMER,Norman Osborn, some guy called Kincaid (who I later found out was Mercury's dad), the SFPD, the public, the local news, and a chicken, over the course of five issues. (No, I'm dead serious here.) I first told the X-Men that I was going to kill Kincaid, causing a public outcry, making the X-Men look like criminals, then, I interrupted alive broadcast, wearinga home made X-Men outfit, then I let himself be caught by Domino (I knew she'd protect me when Cyclops told Wolverine to \"take Deadpool out of the picture\"; she's predictable). Then I got Domino to tell me her greatest fear, which was chickens. I got one and stuck it into an air vent in a train station, 'cause I knew thatOsborn would put Kincaid in an open spot to GET him killed to make the X-Men look bad(guy actually thought I was serious) and he expected the X-Men to rush in and save Kincaid by way of the vent, pulling out the lights FIRST to add to the confusion. Then he flushed Kincaid into the open. Anyway, while Kincaid was in the open, I kept an eye out for snipers, PROTECTING Kincaid, while making it look like I was going to kill him. Then, when Wolverine saved the guy, I made a run for it, I fought the X-Men on the roof (except for Wolverine who was in on it by now) where a guy with a camera was filming everything. In the end, just like I intended, the X-Men looked like heroes, and Osborn was a royal laughing stock! JUST LIKE I'D PLANNED!Battle Rapping: I onceentered a rap battleagainsta certain other mercenary who inexplicably became a legend among geeks and fanboys the world over. Seriously, who knew I could dance like that?Been There, Shaped History:Inglorious Basterds?Amateurs next to me, Nate andNick Fury! Take that,Stupid Time-Travelling Hitler!Berserk Button:Even being reminded of the Weapon X project brings me to a frothy rage.Also when T-Ray burned off my mask, and later when Zoe and Monty found me without one.Also, don't dis my chimichangas. Seriously, I will beat you for it with a humorously oversized mallet,even if you are the Cookie Monster.Being asked to do that PENCIL TRICK FOR THE GAJILLIONTH TIME! I just can't get away from it!Saying the prequelStar Warstrilogy was better than the original trilogy and thatHayden Christensengave a great performance in themwill be the last words you ever say.\u25caMore of you need to watchShattered Glass, andThe Obi-Wan Showhadn't been made yet.I... AM... NOT... SPIDER-MAN!!!!!!Betty and Veronica: InMerc With a Mouth, while both of them were jerks, the blonde, serious, and usually fair Dr. Betty is the well... Betty, and the let loose darker haired Professor Veronica, who was just using me as a booty call (not that I'm complaining) and eventually turned into a zombie and tried to kill me (She is far less attractive as one. Trust me on this.) is the, um... Veronica. Huh. You think my writers are tropers too?White Box:More like they'd grown up readingArchie.Big Eater: All that Merc Work makes me hungry!I also have to feed myHealing Factor. But only if you want to be a nerd.Biting-the-Hand Humor: Why, yes. You do suck. Especially atfighting games.Black Comedy: Par for the course. I'm aPSYCHOPATH.Me:Astute observation, Captain Obvious.Me: Wait,did I just diss myself?Me:And this just surprises you right now? I mean, me?Blessed with Suck: I'm a living cancer! Of course I would enjoy the sweet smell of Death... in more ways than one.Blood Knight: I love fighting and killing. Read the page quote, and you'll know what I'm talking about.Blue-and-Orange Morality: I can be very heroic and friendly when I want to be. But blowing people up is just so much fun! You can see my dilemma.Body Horror: In the beginning of theDeadpool and his much less badass (but still vaguely attractive) sidekick Cableseries, we both get infected with some kind of virus thingamajig that overrides said sidekick's techno-organic virus and my healing factor andnearly melts us, and the only way we can stop it is by Cable giving me some of his blood and vice versa (yuck. Luckily we didnothaveta kiss as I initially feared). I end up turned into Wade-juice before I can get to Nate, though, so he uses his telekinetic powers to absorb me into his body and then throws me up (remember when I said yuck three sentences ago? Strike that.Thisis yuck-worthy). The whole gig getseven more disgusting, because from that point on, whenever Nate tries to teleport, his teleporting whatzamacallit recognizes us as one person and fuses our bodies together at arrival. He finds a way to fix things, though.Let's not forget my time with that asshole Bartol Utler, or Buttler as he calls himself.noteOkay, he didn't spell it that way, but still.Once he learned about my healing powers (while conveniently forgetting thatlovelylittle hitch it brought with it), he thought it'd be funny to use me as his personal organ bank. And boy did he love making withdrawals!Yeah, it was to save his sister, but in typical evil scientist fashion, it was also to make an army of mutants to sell to bad guys. Good thing his sister was more reasonable than Buttler.Breaking the Fourth Wall: This is one of my greatest and most awesome powers, and I'll do it again and again, just for you.I always wonder if my thoughts still appear in those lovely yellow boxes. So, I told them \"I'm good!\", loud and clear. Oooh, I'vemissedyou, little yellow boxes! Whatfunwe shall have together!Let's flip open the pages inCable & Deadpool. I have a feeling my dear readers might need a little bit of my help to get familiar with my awesome, lengthy story, well, aside from the obvious first page. They say I'm just being crazy as usual. Well, not that there's any moment I'm not batshit crazy to begin with?In the Britain-only special editions, my great power of fourth wall breakage is used out of the comic once again, having me answering a letter on the stash of love letters from my dear fans, with a detailed reference to the Marvel spotlight pages. And yeah, everyone freezes whenever I take a dump! Lemme take a toilet break again. Stand still until I come back!For reference's sake, I'm so well known for doing this that I took over my old Main/ namespace pageyearsago. Tropers (like you!) gave mealmost half a decadewithouta more typical pageon this site sincewho doesn't want to learn about Deadpool from Deadpool himself? Until that happened, this was the only page for info about my series you'd get on this site.Breakout Character: I may have started small, but it's scientifically proven that I am the most greatest Marvel character of all time.Wrecker: Buncha minor league wannabes, yer kidding right?Me: Wannabes?My Thought Box: Yeah, we got two books out right now.My Other Thought Box:And another one coming out next month.IstealMarvel Ultimate Alliance. After all, I refer to my team as\"Deadpool and his Cronies\"(Iceman's already invited if I formalize that,I heard he liked my style). In fact, you might even say that if it weren't for the wonderful people at Activision remembering me, I could still be languishing at the B-list today (probably even theC-list-ugh!), and I wouldn't have my own film, game etc. etc. Anyway, during the closing credits of the sequelI argue with the developer over not being powerful enough and the game not being called \"Deadpool And His Inferior Friends.\" Then he goes ahead and nerfs me and has the nerve to threaten to make me DLC! What an ass!!!Oh, let's not forget to mentionthose X-Chumpsdidn't stand a ghost of a chance once I came into the picture (no, notthat one. Doesn't countanymore pal, though this constant timeline changes are so confusing). Sure,theyhadsomegoodmovies, but I was the guy who broke box office recordsandmade wearing red spandex look good again. Hell, if it wasn't for me,old tall dark and handsomewould have gotten a very nice sendoff before everythingall camecrashing downand the giant mouse bought out Fox. Now? All the guyswant to do what I did(though obviously they can't copy me that much), and it'sme(yes, ME) that'snotgetting rebooted when Mickey's recent acquisition joins the23 for 23club. Sorry Logan. Them's the breaks!Breakout Villain: Does anyone even remember that I was originally a supervillain mercenary who tangled with theNew Mutants? Now I'm more popular than all the New Mutants put together!Bring My Red Jacket: Why the red suit? So the bad guys can't see me bleed.Bring My Brown Pants: Not me,obviously: I know my color theme. But, Imightpoint out other people's need to start investing in this color when I turn up... Upon occasion. Hey: I lampshade. It's one of the many, many wonderful things I do.Movie Me:[pointing at a mook, while inside a wreaked car] This guy has the right idea! He wore the brown pants! [Mook looks down.]Brought Down to Normal:I lost myHealing Factorand immunity to death in one arc.Can't say I'll miss them. But I can say thatI got them back a couple issues later. Can't fight Harry S. Truman without them, am I right?Buddy Cop Show: There was this time I got stuck with this guy Cable. He was a straight-laced stickler for protocol, and me an unpredictable loose cannon with several cannons of my own.Rorschach and Dead-poooool! A nut and a fooool!Bullying the Dragon: I once did this to the Hulk inOperation: Annihilation... NOW DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, I had a plan with this, it was for him to smash me so hard I couldn't regenerate.He assumed that this was part of some trap, so I threatened to detonate some nukes if he didn't kill me. Too bad when I pushed him hard enough, there were some children around.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: I mentioned the whole \"bat guano crazy and immortal badass\" thing right?Taskmaster even once admitted that I was a better merc than him.Though most of the jobs I take don't end well for me, or the client either for that matter. It could be that's why people stopped hiring me for a while.Butt-Monkey: Bob. He's lonely, gets a lot of bad luck, and I LOVE to abuse him.But Thou Must!: After the whole\"I Screw Weasel\"arc, someVegas Executiveswanted me to be an enforcer full time...butI begged to differ.Butter Face: Nice, saliently muscled body (under the spandex anyway) but the face is... not that attractive to say the least.Until I finally reverted my face to its natural, pre-altered space!As if I didn't have enough ladies chasing after me already...Canada, Eh?: That's right! Your's truly, the greatest merc on the planet, is from the greatest, whitest, northiest country on the planet! Which city? ProbablyRegina, that one that rhymes with \"fun\".Canon Immigrant: So sincehe was well liked inmy movieI've now started getting regular cab rides from Dopinder, he complains less than the Uber drivers anyway.Captain Ersatz:Yeah, hate to admit it, but I started out as a ripoff of thatDeathstrokeguy fromTeen Titans(who is a rip-off ofTaskmaster! Making me a rip-off of a rip-off... We have to go deeper!). You can see it in the costumes, the jobs, even the names! As a tribute, Joe Kelly managed to sneak me intoThe DCUas the Earth-3 version of him. Also, I happened to meet the guy I was doppelganging during a Marvel/DC crossover.In Deathstroke's own early '90s book there was a \"long lost half-brother\" named \"WadeLe Farge\", who showed up wanting to become Deathstroke, and take away everything that belonged to him in gruesomely irrational fashion. Although I borrowed almost as heavily from thatcrazy-but-not-as-crazy-as-me-in-the-slightest clownand Spidey.And, as it turns out, DC went full circle and made aCaptain Ersatzof me. No, not that Earth-3 Deathstroke (OK, him too, but he was a one-shot so he doesn't count). Behold,RED TOOL!!!. And this guy is born just because someone want see me datingHarley QuinnnoteClosest thing I ever got was that wacko of aStalker with a Crush, Dr. Whitby, in case you kids don't know..Inner voice:Fitting name. 'S all I can say.Also, BILL! AGENT OF A.I.M.!Cast from Calories: I once explained that I have to eat a lot to allow myHealing Factorto work. Hey, all that biomass has to come from somewhere.Catchphrase: During Priest's run, I was fond of telling folks that the answer to their first question is SHADDUP. In the films, it seems to be \"Maximum Effort\".Cat Girl: Not me, but I do have my eyes set on one inMarvel Vs Capcom 3...Felicia: For the last time, I don't care how much catnip you have! I'm NOT getting in your car with you!Me: Awww... but why not?Cerebus Syndrome:The Good, The Bad, The Ugly,fromPosehn and Dugannpromises to change yours truly as a character. From what I've seen far,they're delivering.Characterization Marches On: In one of the Joe Kelly comics, I try to make the thought of seeingBea Arthurnaked sound like something a sane man wouldn't want to see. Now, I have a humongous crush on her.Chekhov's Gun: Daniel Way loves to write these in my stories. In one story, I hadChekhov's Exploding Chair, Chekhov's Buttloads of Cash, and Chekhov's Russian Nuclear Submarine... or is that Chekhov'sNuclear Wessel?Chekhov's Gunman:Oh sure Way, bring some other regenerating mercenaries who also attempt to make wisecracks.I'm soooooooooooooooo sure they won't be relevant in the future!And you know Carmelita Camacho? The hot Spanish chick I banged? Turns out she's more important than Posehn and Dugann led on...Chest Burster: The unexpected consequence of crossing my healing factor with a brood infection, Giger's estate should sue. Little Deadpal stuck around for a bit but I literally cut him off, cuz I started to care about him, and people I care about always get hurt if they're too close to me.Close on Title: Some of my stories, including the ones below, don't show their titles until the end.In an issue where my eardrums get destroyed by an explosion, and then I end up fighting magical mimes, there are no words at all till the last page, and the punny title,Silent But Deadly, is the very last thing of all.In the last issue of Gail Simone'sHealing Factorstoryline, the chapter number and title appeared at the end of the story, as well as some credits and a dedication to the readers.the Bronze Age-style\"Drinking Game\" has its name appear on some alcohol bottles scattered on the ground in the last panel.Cloudcuckoolander: Sometimes I think I'm a character in a story that's written by someone. Oh wait...I am.Combat Tentacles:I, a hideously deformed, twisted, lecherous, perverted, and amoral deviant freak of nature in good standing, wasflagrantlyfelt upby asexy and nubileyoungScottish woman! Is notraditionsacredanymore? Thank God that game is rated T, otherwise that huge comedy yell wouldn't have been acting. Honestly Morrigan,learn to aim!Back whenAlternate Universe!Cable was taken over by techno-organicsand sprouted loads of shiny metal tentacles. When they were attracted by my overwhelming charisma, I, naturally, went from \"ow! ow! hey \u2014 that is incredibly personal space there \u2014 ow!!!\" to \"okay\u2014hey\u2014okay\u2014okay\u2014see, now I'm kinda liking it.\"Compromising Call: One of my attempts at a stealthy assassination was spoiled by my agent calling me. Doubles asEmbarrassing Ringtoneas the jingle heard is \"YMCA\". Okay, okay, if you REALLY wanna see it,it's right here...Confusion Fu: My legendary fighting style, key in my victory againstTaskmaster, is exploiting my natural craziness to throw him off his game.Consummate Liar: Comes with being a merc. Sometimes telling the right lie is what gets me out of a jam, and I'm really good at lying.Cool and Unusual Punishment: During a climactic battle with a highly cultured German douchebag assassin known as the Black Swan, I invade the guy's home, give his guards some bad cases of dead, destroy large sections of surrounding forest, deface art that's worth millions of dollars and do everything possible to get the guy to fight me. Then when I start singing country and western songs over the PA system...Black Swan: \"He dies!He dies SCREAMING!!!\"Covered with Scars: Or maybe they're just tumors. Or both, even. I dunno.Crazy-Prepared: Remember one time when I fought against bunch of Draculas in the hospital? That's right I have a Priest bless the reservoir tank 12 hours before that so I can use it to sprays holy waters against all of those Draculas. And the anti-ballistic shower curtains in my bathroom that I use to prepare myself for Black Swan's attack.Cursed with Awesome:One time, I insulted Loki, so he made me have Tom Cruise's face until I apologized. The thing was so indestructible, I nearly gave up on ever ripping it off. The fact that a side effect of an indestructible face was an indestructible body allowed me to survive an explosion that left me as the only thing remaining in one piece in the middle of a huge crater. However, Loki removed the curse immediately after I figured out how awesome this is.Okay, so me andThanosboth have the hots for Death. The solution, considering thestandard approachkinda won't work here and theotherstandard approachis never gonna happen? Thanos made meimmortal. I mean, I was alreadynearlyinvincible before thanks to my healing factor, but now that high threshold has been eliminated, so I'mnevergonna die! And people sayI'man asshole...Dark and Troubled Past: I don't wanna talk about it...Deadpan Snarker: The one and only. Everybody comments on my wit (not just other characters).During my face off withThe Punisherin issue #55, I said that I even get tired of my own talking).\"I just drone on and on. Sometimes I just don't know when to shut up. And that's why I have to kill you . . . so I can pay my phone bill!\"In one issue, I was snatched by aDeath Trapenthusiast. I was chained down underneath a giant teddy bear(just go with it), which descends lower every time I spoke and will eventually smother me. I had to break my own limbs to get out just 'cause I wouldn't shut up. At least, the bear wasoriginallygoing to smother me, but because of my constant blathering, as Deathtrap (yes, that's the jerkwad's codename) put it:Deathtrap: Fascinating! Teddy has approached ramming speed.Deal with the Devil: Back in the '80s (it was aretcon) I made a deal with a demon named Vetis to getIron Manto drink. How'd I get out of it? I sucker-punched Stark, stole his armor, and got drunk in it! I never did get my payment of a laser disc factory, though.Death-Activated Superpower: How I got my Spiffy McSpiffHealing Factor! Wait a minute, does this mean I'm a zombie?! No wonder I findHsien-koso adorable!Death Seeker: I'm not overly cautious when it comes to life-threatening injuries. With my healing factor, who would be? It helps that Death is HOT!Deconstruction:So,youthought having a psychotic, immortal assassin wasfunny, huh?Youthought it would befunnyfor me to take on the whole Marvel Universe, right? Well, inDeadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, I do. I murder every single one of your beloved heroes and villains, becauseyouthought it would befunny. Well, what do you think?Is all this stillfunnyto you?!...Don't Answer That.Wade Wilsons Wardeconstructs my comedic insanity byshowing that I could really just be some lunatic out of touch with reality that has no clue what's going on,maybe.Depending on the Artist:My stunning mug has ranged from \"slightly bad acne\" to \"pureNausea Fuel\" to \"oddly enough resemblesThe Thing.\" Usually I'm somewhere in between, with a somewhatFreddy Krueger-facefucking-Utah-topographical-map-like appearance. On the other hand, my body is constantly in flux, so my appearance does change from time to time. At least, I hope that's what's happening...Though I will say, sometimes I don't look too bad\u25ca.Also, a few minor but still easy to notice details of my costume keep changing. The size/shape of the black patches on my eyes, what kind of gloves/boots I have, whether I have that little tuft...flap...thingy on the back of my mask, etc. And if I have 2 guns and two swords, 1 sword and 1 gun, 2 swords and 1 gun, or1gun and2swords,or... *shoots his brains out*BLAM!Also, if my eyes when I'm unmasked are normal or still blank orbs.Depending on the Writer: Eventually even me and T-Ray stopped caring about who really was Wade Wilson, so we just accepted that it depended on the writer. Also determines how crazy I am, which side of theHeel\u2013Face Revolving DoorI'm leaning towards that day...Much like Bender, the writers can't seem to decide whether or not I'm aJerk with a Heart of GoldAnti-Heroor anAnti-Villain.Derivative Differentiation: I used to just beDeathstrokein red, until they made me insane and gave me my own fighting style.Determinator: Usually I gotta tangle with opponents much more high-falutin' and edumacated than I is. Doesn't stop me from tryin'.Digital Piracy Is Evil: I gave that nutcase Carnage an earful the finest illegally downloaded dubstep. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for his meddling girlfriend.Don't Fear The Reaper: I fell in love with Death! Too bad Thanos took this as an opportunity to make me immortal so that I could never court her.Downer Ending:Wade Wilson's Warall took place in my head andDom and I are reduced to a pair of foam-in-the-mouth paraplegics! Actually, there are some parts that are left vague and open to interpretation.GUH! MY BRAIN!Dream Sequence: In one issue of Priscila and Deadpool, Black Mamba used her powers to distract me by making me dream of my greatest desire \u2014 which at the time was rubbing sunscreen on Cable's back on a sunny beach. Drinks with tiny umbrellas and WD-40 may also have been involved.Duct Tape for Everything: Checkthis\u25caout. Oh, there was alsothat timewhen Cable,Captain Americaand a few others frickin'cocoonedme with duct tape in an empty warehouse and left me there for hours. And to make things worse...I had to pee.Dude, Where's My Respect?: Despite being one of the deadliest characters in the Marvel Universe, I get no respect from anyone.My Little White Thought Box:You once ran through Avenger's Tower butt naked. Why should they?Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: I do this alot(for all you know, this whole thing might have been transcribed from me babbling in the ear of one o' you tropers for a few hours). My internal yellow caption box monologue is often 'broken', usually without me realizing it, meaning everyone else on the page can hear what I think. Sometimes, I only think I'm doing an internal monologue, when I'm really talking. Also, I tend to have very disturbing dreams, plus a habit of sleeptalking just before I wake up, creating very embarrassing moments for everyone involved.Me: No, G.I.Joe, don't do that to Barbie... It's so very,very, wrong... \u2014 Uhm... I wasn't dreaming anythingtooembarrassing, wasn't I?Irene(staring): No... Not by your standards, no.Did You Just Romance Cthulu: Did I have a love affair with Death herself? You bet I did!11th-Hour Superpower: I get four symbiotes for my final fight against Carnage.It was so hilarious!Embarrassing Ringtone: One of my attempts at a stealthy assassination was spoiled by my agent calling me, and my ringtone was \"YMCA\".Everyone Has Standards: I might be a merc and an assassin for hire, but I tend to only accept contracts on really bad people (and the occasional superhero) and as the above example with the psychiatrist proves,\"Kids. Are. Off. Limits!\". In fact, once, when a bunch of mercs broke me out of a jail and murdered several cops in the process, I turned on them and killed the whole lot of them.Embarrassing Nickname: Nate does not like it when I call him Priscilla. It's not my fault I can't keep track of all his damn names!He still hasn't caught up.Empowered Badass Normal: I'm an expert in a gazzilon forms of combat. TheHealing Factoris a big part of why I kick so much ass, but I was still a badass before it.Escapist Character: Admit it, younerdswish you were as cool as me, dontcha? I put the \"success\"and\"insanity\" inSuccess Through Insanity, I got an assload of guns, swords, and other such killin' tools, theFourth Wallis my bitch, and I pull off theRob Liefeldlook better thanRob Liefeldever could!Evil Twin: Evil Deadpoolwho is made out of various limbs that I have lost over the years.Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Hit-Monkey. A hitman who's a monkey. No, really.Exploiting the Fourth Wall: In one issue I beat up the writer of my own comic book in order to get the location of the person I was tracking down.Expressive Health Bar: In several video games, most notablyMarvel vs. Capcom, I can physically pick up his health bar and use it as a weapon to strike enemies.Expressive Mask: My face moves, it moves. ... kinda creepy when you think about it.Expy: The Ultimate Marvel version of me was basicallyDonald Piercecosplaying as me.Fanboy:OfThe Golden Girls. RIPBea. AndBetty Whiteloved my movie! Another proud moment.I'm a fan boy of Captain America! Did they remember the time he was possessed by some alien thing and I kicked him in the crotch to save the world though?Me:No one remembers but us.Me:The guy who made next issue's coverseems to remember though.One time I was mashed to a pulp byThor!!!(fanboysqueal)I played the shit out ofStreet Fighter. Even used aShoryukenon a few occasions! Got tomeet Ryu, too, but that asshole wouldn't autograph his spleen for me! What a dick!Fan Disservice: Kind of depressing to know that even in a universe where I'm a shapely sex bomb, I'm not allowed to NOT be horribly deformed. Lady Deadpool may actually be even more off-putting than me.Fanservice: While Lady Deadpool is wearing her mask.and though I'm not supposed to know it, she got her face healed during our team up inDeadpool Corp, so now she's beautiful even without her mask. Well, beautiful in a \"Drawn By Rob Liefeld\" kinda sense.Fantastic Racism: The Ultimate Marvel version of me is an evil, mutant-killing bigot.Flanderization: Some people say that my wackiness and fourth-wall breaking has been taken so far that it undercuts the violent and self-destructive psychoses inherent to my character. On the other hand, does the Marvel Universe really need anotherCanadian with Rage Issues, Regenerating Healing Powers, and a convoluted backstory complicated by Swiss-Cheese Memory, ora flamboyant joke-cracker in a red costume, whose snark covers up his inner angst?For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: In someGwen chick's2016 Holiday special I inserted a story about this. Hey! It was aholidayspecial, and Halloween is a holiday, deal with it! Turns out, one successful movie and enough people dressed as me that Squirrel-Girl could organize a me costume contest. Did I enter? Well, yes. And I would have won too if I wasn't disqualified for being me! Deadpoolscrimination!Squirrel Girl: Umm... sorry to intrude on your page Wade, but you still won the \"Minimum Effort\" ribbon. Deservedly too. I mean, there are hardly any lazier costuming ideas than resorting to this trope.Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: In my series, I've often recapped the story arc so far in the first page. And then answered my own fan mail. In said Mail Slot, I'm often accompanied by other characters from my series... who are very confused as to who they're supposed to be talking to. Their expression are worth the effort. To me, anyway. I guess you can't see them.Fourth-Wall Observer: Fabian Nicieza usually makes a recap page that isn't in continuity, which means that blobs likethe Blobcan break the fourth wall at will during the recap page. One recap page had Cable hinting to me that he'd infected me with subliminal messages. Since the recap page wasn't in continuity, I didn't know about the meeting, which didn't stop me from, in the story, saying these words:Me: Y'know, I'm really beginning to wish the recap page were part of my regular continuity, 'cause then I might have a clue...The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: There was this guy interviewing my actor and saying how great it was that my movie would be rated PG-13. I left Comic Land and punched him in the face for that. (Well, actually I broke a stagelight over his face, but that's almost the same thing).French Maid Outfit: I used this in issue 20 of Way's run. What? I need a disguise, read the story!.The Friend Nobody Likes: Name a group I've been part of and you'll be hard-pressed to find one that doesn't hate my guts.Friend to All Children:Hey, I'm great with interacting with children! In fact,the Ultimate meisavailable for birthday parties! Well...was. I killed him inDeadpool Kills Deadpool... And unlike me, he was a mutant-hating jerk anyway.Also, hurting, raping, and killing children in front of me will get thereallynasty side of meas Dreadpool found out after killing Kidpool.* Freudian ExcuseFun Personified: Anyone who disagrees usually has a stick up his ass - and it can be a literal one, put by myself.Fusion Dance: Turns out the Little White Thought Box was the result of one of these between me and Madcap, another crazy regenerating guy, only with a much worse fashion sense (I got stuck in aFur Bikini).G-NGambit Roulette: So get this: I was attacking a ship of Skrulls and Super Skrulls, then offered 'em my services, then got captured, tortured, cloned for Super Deadpool Skrulls, then convinced the scientist to let me train the Deadpool Skrulls so they can kill all the other Skrulls on the ship. Knowing that the Deadpool Skrulls were all doomed because theythey don't have cancer, I could then steal the information. None of this wasNick Fury's plan, but damn it was fun.The Greatest Story Never Told: I've saved the world on quite a number of occasions, it's just that no one was there to see them.Good Thing You Can Heal: I'm more than a little willing to subject myself to injuries that would kill a normal man. AHealing Factorreally comes in handy in the merc business.Guns Akimbo: Aw yeah! Double the guns, double the fun.Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Hello, ladies! As I told my good friend and teammate Thor just the other day, I'm heterosexual! Okay, I might have a man-crush for Cable, Spider-Man, Thor, Wolverine and the Punisher, but doesn't everybody?Healing Factor: The cancer repeatedly spreading to my brain and instantly healing is the reason I'm so much saner than everyone else!The Heart: I function as this inUncanny X-Force. When you got me asThe Heart, something is seriously wrong withThe Team. I never cashed Warren's checks for the better part of a year!Heart Is an Awesome Power: Guess what? It turns out that insanity is key in finding out the inner workings of Carnage's mind, making me the perfect candidate to track him down.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: Sometimes I may pal around with the so-called \"superheroes\" if there's some big nasty that has to be dealt with, yet when I see them again because I was hired to beat the crap out of them, they complain! Considering how often most of them do the wholeHeel\u2013Face Turnthing in their own books, why are they shocked again? Hypocrisy, man. Sometimes even I don't know which side I'm on; like when I betrayed the X-Men for Cable. Iwasleaning a bit more towards the Face side in that series though...Hero with an F in Good: F as in fantastic! Wait, that's not what it stands for...? I mean, how could anybody pass if even copying off that geek Spidey doesn't help?Heroic Build: I'm a superpowered assassin that's a mixup of Mr. Muscles and Metal! What do you expect?Heroic Comedic Sociopath: In my very best mood I am a hilarious comedian that uses blood and guns as my props. In my worse moments I'm paid to be an assassin and torture artist, and have personally eviscerated thousands of people for cash, kicks, and giggles. And lo, do I giggle.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Me and Cable are best bros forever.Hidden Depths: Okay, if I'm allowed to drop the whole \"haha funni crayzee merc guy\" act for a bit, I'm gonna level with you for a bit. I won't lie, my moral compass doesn't point anywhere near north, but that doesn't meant it points south either.noteMaybe east or west?That one time where Archie the Archangel got so hungry he was about to die? Name one other guy who'd cut off his own flesh and feed it to him if it meant saving his life!As someone with his own trademarked brand of mental baggage, you have no idea how badly I just want it all to end. But not only did I realize that there is a better option, I'm more than willing to pass that on. To a completely random stranger, in fact.That bit where Buttler kept taking my organs for his little experiments?He kidnapped my one-time girlfriend and our daughter just so I'd listen to him. Yeah, really says something about a guy if he's willing to kiss the ass of some shitbag that's basically holding a gun to the heads of some girl he had a fling with and their kid he never even met if it means they get to live. Instead, in true superhero fashion, I went on a rescue mission to an internment camp to save them.Except I didn't.I saved all the inmates, but I found my girlfriend in a mass grave. As for my daughter, I went through hell trying to find her again, but like I told her,sometimes you can't go home again. Again, says a lot about a guy if he's willing to cut himself out of his daughter's life if it means she gets to be happy.Highly-Visible Ninja: Bright red is the most apparent part of my costume. I'm highlyaudibletoo.'cause I love to talk so much.Hilarious Outtakes: The last issue of my regular series, theGail Simone-penned 69th issue, ends with some.Hit Me, Dammit!: I spent the better part of an issue trying to getWolverineto stab me. But he was being a wuss, so IShoryuken'dKitty Pryde instead. That worked. Also, for me to unleash the fury ofmy Level 3 specialinMarvel vs. Capcom 3, people have to hit me whilst I am walking.I Know Mortal Kombat: I am an avid gamer.Street Fightertaught me to sock Kitty Pride with aShoryuken.Even got to use it against actual Street Fighters!I Just Want to Be Loved: Deep down, I actually want to be acknowledged and accepted by the rest of the heroes in the Marvel Universe.I finally get my wish in X-Force when Evan thanks me for saving him and calls me a hero.Zero context* I Resemble That Remark!: I say those exact words often.Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each issue ofThe Circle Chasehad the word \"duck\" in its title.Ignorance Is Bliss: I decided to celebrate my 300th issue and over a dozen chapters of totally ruining my cozy, newfound existence as an Avenger bywiping away all my memories of Duggan's run with delicious Weapon X amnesia drugs! On one hand, Character REGRESSION, on the other, the writers ofFresh StartDeadpool won't be hampered by the baggage of the previous run. And I can forget all the heartbreak, betrayals, revelations, and calamities and just be a handsome blank slate for new readers.Image Song: MyMarvel vs. Capcom 3theme song has managed to capturemy essence: \"DO THE WALK, DO THE TALK,DON'T BE A FOOL, GO TO SCHOOL.\"Immortality: On top of myHealing Factor, I'm also immortal thanks to Thanos. Since I'm made of cancer, nobody but my fans and Death love me, and I'm in love with Death, it's not all it's cracked up to be.Implausible Boarding Skills: I surf onPhoenix Wright's OBJECTION! speech bubblein theUltimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3opening! In the air! With lots of debris and paper around me!Inferred Holocaust: Yeah it's been brought to my attention in \"Operation Annihilation\" even though I saved the kids at that school Hulk sent me flying towards, he still destroyed the whole in his chase after me. And this is not brought up by me or anybody else. Oops.Inter Generational Friendship: Me and Even, bordering onParental Substitute.In Name Only:InX-Men Origins: Wolverinethe Deadpool has my healing factor but we don't share much else in common. That guy's\"dead pool\" of mutant powers includes the healing factorplus'' adamantium skeleton,Baraka blades, optic eye blasts and teleportation. And near the endhis mouth is sewn shut because, get this, someone finally found a way to keep him quiet!TheUltimateversion of Deadpool has little to nothing to do with my classic gorgeous self either, being little more than a grotesque (especially compared to me),mutant-hatingpsychopath.Inspirationally Disadvantaged: I remind people with illnesses that they too may also be awesome one day. Not as much as me, but then again, who is?Interrupted Cooldown Hug: I ticked off a calming Hulkintentionally!Irisless Eye Mask Of Mystery: Just look at my image at the top of this page and don't tell me it doesn't make me look like the awesome BADASS I AM! Or then at least more badass than that lamebat-costumed detectivefrom a certain comic book that will be left unnamed.* Ironic Echo: \"Fate delivered you to me.\"It Makes Sense in Context:That time I garroted Santa Claus with a string of barbed wire. As mentioned above, my narration referred to the ordeal as \"a routine assignment.\" And the strangling Santa incident actually isn't allthatbizarre compared to some of the other things I get up to...Better yet: Fulfilling my childhood dream bywearing raw meat as body armorand senselessly beating a super villain dressed like a superhero (Hawkeye, then called Bullseye) witha giant ham.Jerkass: Hey, I resemble that remark! Though admittedly, Icanbe aJerk with a Heart of Gold, like inCable & Deadpool#17.Jumped at the Call: Unlike thatAdamantium angstbagor thatwhiny web-slinger, I love what I do. I was a badass normal before getting awesome powers.Justified Trope: Believe it or not, there's anIn-Universereason for my constantly fluctuating level of sanity! Since my healing factor is out of control (my body is walking talking cancer) even mybrainis rewiring itself with some regularity.Kansas City Shuffle: My genius plan to getNorman Osbornto pay up after he stole one of my marks and ruined my rep.No onescrews with my professional reputation.Katanas Are Just Better: I could use any kind of sword to kill people better than most other people in the universe, so at that point, why wouldn't I use katana?Kavorka Man:Aww yeah, you know it, ladies.Lady Death(whoops, sorry,MistressDeath, butLady Deathis sexy, too),Vanessa,Typhoid Mary,Siryn,Dr. Betty, Professor Veronica,Lady Deadpool,Outlaw,Morrigan,Felicia, and themillions upon millions of others, who have succumbed to my25 Charisma stat(despite a 15 Disfigurement one that qualifies me as\"Kavorka\"). In myMarvel vs. Capcom 3ending, I got to mac with most of the lovely ladies at my slammin' party after wasting Galactus's purple pimply ass! Until I accidentally wiped out Cleveland... whoops!I was once married to a demon queen! AND EVERYONE came to the wedding.EVERYONE. The bride's maids were all over me too.NowRogueof all people has taken an interest in me! And she made the first move! I tried to warn her that I liked her too much to ruin her, and that she only likes me because she doesn't really know me. But she seems to really like me!Hopefully she won't hate me too much when she finds out i'm working with Hydra...Oh, and bonus points, she likes Ellie, and promised to watch over her if she becomes a mutant!The Knights Who Say \"Squee!\":In oneDeadpool Team-Uparc, I go fanboy overThoreven when he's beating me up!Thor: You will be handed over to the authorities. Imprisonment shall be yours. The fate of a thief.Me:I really find you very attractive.BeatMe:Did I say that out loud?Also withCaptain America!I also really dig those cool cats fromStreet Fighter.Why won't they sign their spleen for me, though?Lampshade Hanging: Oh, so often. I'm the only one that knows we're all in a comic book.Large Ham: What do you mean I'm an overactor?Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: A Superman/Batman special featured a snarky, motor-mouthed, katana-wielding, regenerating costumed super-hero (that's aPalette Swapof Deathstroke) \"trying\" to save the life of Bruce Wayne from a bunch of assassins. ARunning Gagthroughout the comic is that the \"mysterious hero\" keeps trying to say his name, but never manages to. Did I mention thatJoe Kellywrote this annual?Leeroy Jenkins: I should've just run in and scream outta my lungs like,\"WAAAAADEEEE!!! WIIIILLLLSSOOOOONNNN!!!!!\". Or maybe\"DEAAAADDDD!!! POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!\". Boy, I should've logged on to that server sometime.Hey, I actually did it in issue #36. Though yeah, gotta credit the origin so I yelledLEEROOOOOY JEEEENKIIINSS!!!instead.Legacy Character: Yours truly once filled in for Wolverine as WolverineinWolverines, because it's very important for the world to have a Wolverine in it, and Logan was, you know, dead at the time, and Marvel kept saying that this time he wasn't coming back.Someonehad to do it, but I don't understand why the X-Men, the Avengers, Alpha Flight,orS.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't let me play! I mean come on! Logan and I go way back, but they're going to let theclonedo it instead? How unoriginal is that! They could at least have let X-29 do it,sheat least had a sense of humor.Less Embarrassing Term: After some heckling from a bystanderBystander: Nice scooter, freak!Me: It's a motorbike! It's 100% manly!Let's Get Dangerous!: I say with not an ounce of bragging that the best example is my showdown with Tiamat. I got so dangerous that Istopped talking. Don't tell anyone, but I kinda scared myself when I thought about that.Lethal Joke Character:You read that right kiddies, the nutso motormouth is also the most dangerous merc around!Likes Older Women: OhBea Arthur, my angel, my star, no man can love you like I do... I also have an on-off thing withDeath, but that's a bit more complicated.Too bad both of them are together now...or is it?Loud of War: I once thought Cable was going to transmit an endless loop of the Backstreet Boys. When he found out, he almost did. Later, I did the same thing to Black Swan, with country music.Ludicrous Gibs: I make these whenever I can. God, it's so fun making large amounts of body confetti fly all over the place!The Mad Hatter: I might be insane, but that's what makes me awesome! And allows me to notice the delightful people watching!Major Injury Underreaction: I encounter areally pretty lady on the moon.Just roll with it.Me: I'll be totally upfront here. I find you really attractive. Why don't we just put our differences aside and have some dinner? Family. House. Kids.She opens her mouth in a manner that is NOT for man. And out comes what appear to be flesh eating locusts. That charge at me and presumably begin eating my flesh. I mean, who wouldn't?Moi: You totally misunderstood my proposal.Man of a Thousand Voices: Inmy game, courtesy ofNolan North. Granted, most of those voices are in my head.Manipulative Bastard:In one issue of the Deadpool comics, I betray my employer andfeed him to his zombie capturers\u2014 it makes sense in context \u2014 while double-crossing the zombies too.Betrayed Zombie Dude: You... betrayed us... you betrayed us all.Me:Duh!-kicks zombie in the head-Also, inDeadpool#18, I set up an elaborate gambit to make the X-Men look good. Which was not easy; emo, as you know, is so out. Seems like Way is shaping me up to be one...In each \"episode\" of the5 Roninmaxi-series, I step in to rescue or aid my fellow ronin in their own personal adventures.I have a plan, trust me, it will work out in the end.Martial Pacifist: As \"Zenpool\" I don't do the stabbing and shooting and blowing up anymore. I knock crooks out with a cold turkey and tie them up. That personality doesn't even carry around my guns anymore!McNinja: Katanas. Acrobatics. If you ignore the \"stealth\" part (I do! It's boring), I am definitely a ninja. In fact, as I mention (in one of my first series' letter pages) I've undergonebona fideninja training. Whether to believe me or not is up to you! Apparently someone at Marvel reads this page, because they went and gotsome guy named Chris Hastingsto write a miniseries for me! I went and read up on the guy and lemme tell ya, I think I'm in good hands. Here's hoping I meet the good doc.Medium Awareness: You know how some guys have cosmic awareness? Well I've gotcomicsawareness!Seriously, am I the only person inthat one fighting gamewho realized there was a screen,sawthe health meter, or noticed the sucky guy with the controller? Jeez, man, why does he get to sit around and I have to do the work.I mean, except forthat other 4th wall mutilating Marvel character? Seriously,somebody should make her my new co-star instead of that smelly old cyborg! She's a fun-loving saintwith tattered clothing and raging emotions, who can out-romance Tony Stark! I'm a fun-loving homicidal maniac who will humpAnything That Moves!What could go wrong? I'd even keep her busy with hundreds of legal cases to solve... 'cause that's just the kind of giving guy that I am. I can imagine her response now:She-Hulk: Here's a legally binding restraining order... oh, screw it. Biiig. Faaancy. Leetteer. Wiiith. Loooong. Faaancy. Wooords. Teelliing. Yooouu. Tooo. Staaay. Theee. #$%&. Awaayy. Froom. Meee. Now go away. I feel unclean just from being within a 10 mile radius of you.Played for drama in \"Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe\", where my Medium Awareness takes a disturbing turn. The reason that version of me starts killing Marvel heroes and villains is because they aren't \"Real\", he thinks that because it's all fictional it doesn't matter who he kills and that they can't really feel since they aren't real.Meta Guy: I never hesitate topoint outwhen things are starting to get silly (which happens quite frequently in comic books,amazingly enough).A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Getting into my personal brainspace is not recommended. As a certainalien symbiote-suitfound out. Poor little thing, wonder what happened to it...noteWhat, you didn't know I was around for the Secret War? Not many people do, actually.Mind Screw: I pull off an example in my Marvel Knights mini-seriesWade Wilson's War, with it's ambiguous ending and all.* Mix-and-Match Man: Me! I got parts of Wolverine in me and other stuff too.The Mockbuster: Massacre, Who is the Mexican knock-off of me! Complete with crappy costume and parchment for glorious gory violence that only a foreign superhero movie can bring. He's still aBadass Normalto the point ofturning an ocolot to his side just by staring into his eyes.And unlike Turkish Spiderman he's still a good guy.noteBy the way in Spanish speaking countries I am known as Massacre.Morality Chain: Me and Nate were yanking each other all over the place inCable and Deadpool, trying to keep each other grounded.Morality Pet: Siryn, Blind Al, Cable and Genesis prove that I'm not just a pyscho with guns.Motor Mouth: I just love the sound of my own voice. I wouldn't even call it a \"Motor Mouth.\" More like a \"Nuclear-Powered Hydraulic Super Mouth.\"Most Common Superpower: Outlaw has a great rack.Multiple-Choice Past: Ask three of my fans about where I came from and you'll get four different answers. Even I've given up trying to figure it out.* The Musical: Volume 3 Issue 49.1Murder the Hypotenuse: More likeGrant the Hypotenuse Immortality. Thanos made me immortal just so he could have Death all to himself. Jerk...Mythology Gag:My Belt O'Pouchesactually comes in handy inUncanny X-Force.Wait.What.While we're at it,I'm finally an X-Man!Albeit a dirty, blackops X-Man in an X-Team that shouldn't even be made known of...STANDARD PROCEDURE!In thescript that will never be made despiteallthreatstoallstudioheads'families, I say that \"a little piece of me curled up and died the day this came out\" when I appear to be talking about the...thingthat showed up inX-Men Origins: Wolverine. Okay, so it really turns out that I'm talking about aWham!album,but that shit's still in the trash. Loser!Narrating the Present: Tonight, as I inflitrate Whatever-Place-I'm-Paid-To-Inflitrate, I shall also be your host, along with the Little Yellow Box and the Little White Box, and then blow my cover because that security guard is wondering why I'm talking out loud.Never Hurt an Innocent: I never harm anyone who isn't involved in my actions. This extends especially to law officers as the jerks who broke me out of prison found out.Never Say \"Die\":Yep, this happened to me once. It was in a not-exactly-canon Avengers comic aimed more toward the kiddies (Marvel Adventures), so I was constantly identified as \"Wade Wilson, also known as\u2014\" just before the expositor got cut short by someone else. Oh, that reminds me: Kraven, you still suck.Also, inUltimate Spider-Man (2012), I was given this weird tic where I constantly say I... \"un-alive\" people, instead of \"kill\".New York Is Only Manhattan: The main stories in the comic all take place not only on Manhattan, but within a 5 or 10 block Midtown area.Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: I've faced a zombie version of me, become a pirate, and I technically dress up as a ninja. Three out of four ain't so bad... not!Now: to forceReed Richardsto make me a Robopool!OrTony Stark. OrHank Pym. Or the Fixer, damnit, the list goes on, there's so many people who can make friggin' robots in the Marvel Universe anyway.And then I fight Marcus, who is a Centaur WerewolfAlien Symbiote...with diabetes.No Fourth Wall: None of this is really happening, you know. Somewhere out there, there is a man with a typewriter, andthisis all his twisted imagination... Well, okay, there might be more than just one man, and they might be using keyboards and those unwieldy touch-screen doohickies rather than typewriters, but you get the point.\"Oh, I've missed you, little yellow boxes! Whatfunwe shall have together.\"noteWell, that wasbeforemy yellow box got a life of its own and I got a little white box to act as \"voice of reason\" or something like that...InThe Randomverse, where the Fourth Wall is already in pieces, I broke it even harder. Everyone in the videos knows that we're comic book characters, but onlyIknow I'm an action figurerepresentingthe character. And to break it up to eleven I begin, in my yellow thought bubbles, to complain about the poor animation quality, and wonder why the creators didn't use a better editing software. As if a simple action figure can capture my awesomeness!It gets to the point were I'm theonly onein the Marvel universe that knows aboutSpider-Man's deal with Mephisto... err, besides Mephisto that is.And then there's me beating the snot out of people inMarvel vs. Capcom 3with my own health bar. If only the players would bother learning my game breaking awesome combos instead of relying on X-Factor, the lazy bums!No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Y'know, I keeptryingto be nice, but no one seems acknowledge it.Even when they do, I don't get acceptance. Although there was this one time, right after I escaped from a British Mental Institute, shortly before I ran intoEvil Deadpool, where I saved a bunch of Third Worldies, I was just trying to take control of the ship so I could get back to dry land. I think I got a slightly warm fuzzy feeling when the only one who could speak English told me I was a good person. That's a start at least. And I guessNatedid. A little.Noodle Implements: InMarvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, I suggest that Nick Fury give mea poodle, a bullhorn and four nunsin order to distract Marvel'snot-so-subtlelovers.Noodle Incident:You'll never know my ultimate diss, a diss so potent it makes Marines weep and women lose function of their pancreas...Yo Mamageddon.And we'll never know how I,Cable, and the Fixer ended up in St. Louis, fighting a villain who released adiarrheticover Old Busch Stadium during a Cardinals game (though I thought that was just the fifty franks he ate).O-ZObfuscating Insanity: It's never really clear how much of my insanity is real and how much is an act.Different writers have different opinions on this matter.Obfuscating Stupidity:It's implied, quite a bit, that my \"insanity\" is just my way of coping with myhorrible position in life. Either that or I'm just adownrightnutjob. But hey!At least I killed that guy that did ungodly things to your next door neighbor's five-year-old daughter!This is Peter Milligan's interpretation of me in5 Ronin.I'm also smart enough to know that making people think I'm stupid gives me ahugeadvantage. Laughing at me makes it really easy for you to underestimate me, and makes it even easier for me to surprise thehellout of you. You might even die surprised, know what I'm saying?O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Little warning, if my inner voices ain't talking,I'm 100%not fucking around.Odd Friendship:With Cable. Man, he can be such a dick sometimes. It really suits him.Cable: And Wade, of course.Our fates seem to be intertwined. God help me.And with Genesis, Apocalypse's clone.AndCaptain Americaand Wolverine...it's getting weird to say that I even have friends.And then there's my new BFFGabby, one of the only people ever not put off by my ugly mug. She evengave me the finger.In a box!If that's not friendship, what is?Only Sane Man: You know, everyone calls me crazy, and they might have a point; on the other hand, none of them realize they are actually comic book characters, so who isreallythe crazy one?Other Me Annoys Me: One time I was trapped in a room for 800 years (long story) so I imagined up a duplicate of myself so I could play hangman. (Even longer story.) Couldn't beat that guy even once, dammit.Overly-Long Gag: After being stuck in a lab tank for days, I pissed in Mr. Sinister's bathroomfor a page and a half.Me: Anyway, he built this funky harness for when\u2014Mr. Sinister:Wash your hands.Painting the Medium: In a lovely shade of narration-box yellow, with flecks of blood red, to be precise.Papa Wolf:I've never gone easy on guys who beat up kids at the best of times. Then I learned that I had a daughter named Ellie who was living with the brother of the man who killed the love of my life. Unfortunately some U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M goons decided to take advantage of this. Ellie has the X-Gene which makes her a target for just about everyone. Luckily for her, she has me to protect her. I'm gonna do my damndest to keep her safe 'cause look what happened to Wolverine's kids when they fell into the wrong crowd.How much do I love my daughter?In myDeadpool: The Endcomic, I was willing to killDeathherself for Ellie and break reality in doing so. I don't care if she was 96. The fact that she dies while I live... it was not fair and I was gonna break anything and everything to do so. Course, turns out it was all part of a way to trick Mephisto out of the contract he got me in, leaving me as King of Hell, forever with Death, him chained up and most importantly, Ellie in paradise. Of course, like I told Death, if the plan wasn't gonna work, I was gonna try to kill her for realsies.Pet the Dog: I've been known to do something extra nice from time to time. Though a nice one was inDeadpool: The End. I had all the big name heroes trapped or unable to fight back in alot of funny ways. But what about my bro Spidey? I had the loves of his life (some redheaded model,a familiar blondieand evenBlack Cat) alive, well and swooning over him at the same time. If anyone deserves a break, it's him.The Plan: \"X Marks the Spot\", looking to do somethin' heroic, I convincedCyketo allow me into the X-Men as a probationary member, then went and \"attempted\" to kill the guy who was all over TV saying the X-Men were keeping his daughter hostage (while wearing the X-Men uniform I made myself), failed, tried again, resulting in the X-Men showing up to take me out. There, Wolverine grabbed the camera guy to film the X-Men saving The Asshole from Deadpool, including Cyclops saying I wasn't an X-Man, the little Indian giver (that was offensive to our native peoples and I apologize). Immediately after the camera stopped rolling, Wolvie, who ain't as dumb as he looks, revealed that he figured out I had set the thing up myself, all to put the X-Men back in good standing with the American Publicandto get The Asshole to reveal that Osborn had paid him off to claim the X-Men had kidnapped his daughter. I called it... Operation Moves, and I did it to make X-Men realize how wrong they were for denying me entry into their ranks thefirsttime. And to make Cyclops admit that yes, I did have some pretty good moves. Apparently, if I put this amount of thought into everything I did, I'd probably rule the world. Though who can say for sure that I haven't and don't?Poorly-Disguised Pilot: Bob, Agent ofHYDRA. He never did get that limited series they pitched so hard, did he?Popcultured Badass: As variousShout Outswill attest, I am well verse in whatever fiction necessary to launch aMemetic Mutationor reference plenty.Popularity Power:I've been on the bad end of this, withThe Punisherwas beating me aSWORDeven though I have a ton more practice with those then him and myHealing Factorshould make sword wounds meaningless.I gave another demonstration toGwen Poole, another fourth-wall breaker character like me (a human girl that likes comics and is sucked into the Marvel Universe). That silly girl assumes she'll be safe since I was a guest-star in her own book andPlot Armorwould protect her. So, I inflicted aCurb-Stomp Battleon her and her team combined with a long\"Reason You Suck\" Speechthat make her remember WHO I AM and that she is just a minor character that casual readers mistake for another version of Gwen Stacy.Deadpool:I've had hundreds of issues. I don't know how many series. I guest appeareverywhere. Comics,video games, TV shows, and let's not forget,the highest grossing R Rated film of all time. You however, first appeared as a back-up inHoward the Duckbecause they weren't sure if anyone would like you. You are the last person who can kill me.She had also the courage to say that she don't like to read MY COMICS because I'm toolol, memes!. Despite having stolen half of my name and part of my costume (the other from Spider-Gwen). Ok, nowIt's Personal.Gwen Poole:I don't like to talk into this, but that happened because Ronnie misread my name when I was trying to get a costume (and I still couldn't make her include pants *grumble-ugly-shade-of-pink-my-*CENSORED*-grumble*).Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Would you believe that Dr.Strange hasn't watchedThe Karate Kid? Neither has Shiklah. I'm gonna have to fix that.Professional Killer: Obviously. ButtheD-Manis the best at what he does,and what he does depends on how much money you can pay up front.Psychic Static: For some reason, people have trouble using telepathic attacks on me. It must be because I have loads ofHeroic Willpower, andnot becauseI'm mentally unstable or anything.Psycho for Hire: I'm a mercenary. I'll do any sort of work for the right price. And yes, I'm crazy as they come.Psychopathic Manchild: Hey! Just 'causeI shout Internet memes after fighting Magnetodoes not make me childish!Punch-Clock Villain: All depends on who's givin' me the green stuff.Me: Sometimes I'mbadfor money, sometimes I'mgoodfor money! As long as I'm havingFUNwith said money, I make my own rules!Punctuated! For! Emphasis!:Must... use...Shatner... voice... to... reach... STATUE!!!When my little inner voice friends ain't around, I do tend to use this more seriously.. Just askThat one psychologist pedophile piece of shit I killed.Me: Sit.The fuck.DOWN.\"The Reason You Suck\" SpeechIn the early days ofCable and Deadpool, Cable handed one to me. He can be so hurtful sometimes. But while he could tear me apart on the molecular level by blinking,he doesn't hold a candle to me when it comes to wordslingin'.Zombie Abe Lincoln gives me one of the these summing up why everyone in the Marvel Universe hates me. I give the appropriate answer.Zombie Abe: [After giving me aNo-Holds-Barred Beatdown] You're a vapid, unfunny, pale shade of a hero. You're unintelligent, uncreative, and unremarkable in every way. You don't seem to do anything well except heal yourself and appeareverywhere! I don't understand your appeal. I hate you. These people hate you. Tell me. What is it that you're good at? What do you do. [...] What way are youexceptional?Me:I DON'T GIVE UP!'''Red and Black and Evil All Over: My red suit with black stripes and matching red and black hood.Redemption Demotion: Averted.If anything, I became even more awesome once I kinda, sorta turned into somewhat of a good guy. They didn't even let me have aHealing Factorin my early days of beingVillain Of The Month. Go read my second appearance where I'm all bitchy because my jaw was wired shut after some guy in Weapon X broke it. On second thought...don't.Red Oni, Blue Oni: My two head voices themselves. It varies, but usually the voice with a white speech box is the blue oni because it's more rational, to the voice with the yellow speech box's red oni which is more like me.Required Secondary Powers: MyHealing Factoris fueled bycancer. Without one, the other would kill me.Lucky me.Retcon: My past is very colorful, but Marvel made it so that whatever backstoryDeadpool: Originshas becomes canon. Then again as I have mentioned in the comics, my origin depends on the writer, so I stopped caring.Multiple-Choice Pastand all that.Riddle for the Ages: So am I actually Wade Wilson or what? Is T-Ray actually Wade Wilson? Does Wade Wilson evenexist?Whoknows...Rip Van Tinkle: After being cocooned in Duct Tape by other Marvel Heroes to keep me out of the picture, I quickly commented that I needed to pee. Upon being freed I went to the bathroom for a whole page.Ruder and Cruder: I love going through this route, if you have seen my two movies.Rule of Funny: Rules aren't usually my thing, but I like this one.Running Gag: \"You're not a mutant! ...and you're not an X-Man!\"Finally climaxes in Deadpool Comics #36! There was some trouble over in Genosha and Storm invited me along because Wolverine kicked the bucket.I turned her down. That's right! I was offered membership in the X-Men and I turned it down! Updating my wiki, check!Sad Clown:Some writers think I only make jokes to deal with my pain...The Scream: I love screaming, and I'll never miss the chance for one. Especiallylike a little girl!Here, listen on this one I recorded in tape when I met Sabretooth...Sabretooth: Scream for me.Me: Scream? Well, if you insist. AAAAAHHH!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, AAAAAHHH!!! AAAAAHHH!!!Sabretooth: Enough, Wilson.Me: No wait \u2014 Now I'll do it like a little girl: eeek! eeek! eeek!Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Sometimes I'm bad for money, sometimes I'm good for money. As long as I'm having fun with said money, I make my own rules!Shapeshifting Seducer: AhVanessa, the great love of my life and best thing that ever happened to me. Too bad that a woman who kept turning into any wet dream in my demented mind was too sexistic to be allowed to exist. At least we got through quite a few Marvel heroines before she was killed off.Ship Tease: The fangirls love to ship me with Spider-Man, and Deadpool Annual #2, a comic in which I help Spidey out when he's in a jam, is actually called ''Spideypool.\"This is the most common name for our ship.We now have a new comic book where we co-star, Spider-Man/Deadpool! In one of the first scenes we're tied up together and I have to get him to stop squirming in order to keep him from turning me on any more than I already was.Shooting Superman: People will try to shoot me even though it never works. Some army guys inOperation Annihilationthat saw I provoked the Hulk were at least savvy enough to know shooting him was dumb idea, so they decided to try and shoot me instead thinking if I'm dead, Hulk will stop. And they missed and hit the Hulk, but he seemed to get that it was an accident.Sidekick: Bob, hapless, capturedagentof HYDRA! He helps me on missions and shit. Not that I need it, of course, but I like dragging him around.Sir Swearsalot: You betterfuckingbelieve it! Especially in mynew movie,bitch!* Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Squirrel GirlSelf-Deprecation: No, no,Inever do this, but it seems for some strange reason, I always have the job of dealing with some of the lamest bad guys ever conceived. You know, the folks you tend to read about and say, \"Who is this loser? What on Earth was the writer thinking?\" You know, guys likeDoctor Bong, theMurderous Mimes, andTurner D. Century. (I heard this used to be Scourge's job, butthatguy wasjustas lame.)Small Name, Big Ego: How dare you! I completely live up to my ego. My name is so big Wolverine is jealous of it.Smug Snake: Weasel. Who occasionally even acts asThe Starscream, knowing I could turn him into a kebab...Smug Super: Now that's what I'm talking about.Healing Factor? Check.Breaking the Fourth Wall? Check. You know the rest, troper. They don't call me the merc with a mouth for a reason... AND I'M PROUD OF IT!Superhero Packing Heat: In addition to my powers I got my guns and I damn well use them!Super Speed: Okay, so maybe it isn't one of myofficial powers, but it darn well oughta be. I mean, I can outrun a friggin'jetlinerfer Bea Arthur's sake!Stalker with a Crush: Dr. Ella Whitby, she's obsessed with me and she even has a fridge full of all the body parts I've lost over the years. She's creepy, even by my standards.* The Starscream: Occasionally Weasel.Stupid Sexy Flanders: Stupid SexyCable! And Stupid SexyThor. And Stupid SexyThe Cat. And Stupid SexyCaptain America.Et cetera.Thor: You will be handed over to the authorities. Imprisonment shall be yours. The fate of a thief.Me: I really happen to find you very attractive.Thor: ...Me:Did I Just Say That Out Loud?.Subverted Kids' Show: The 2016 annual story \"Deadpool and His Insufferable Pals\" had me watch the lost pilot for a fictional spinoff ofSpider-Man and His Amazing Friendswhere I attempted to take Spidey's place in the Spider-Friends after burying him alive and then manipulated Iceman and Firestar into helping me graphically murder the Sinister Six.The Symbiote: Y'know Spider-Man's black suit?The one with all the pointy teeth and tentacles? Yeah... looks like me wearing it for a few minutes before Spidey found it messed it up after all. My bad!Talkative Loon: I'm narrating my own trope page, do Ireallyhave to explain this one?Talking in Your Sleep: People tell me I say some pretty weird stuff in my sleep sometimes. I say some pretty weird stuff when I'm awake, so I s'pose it's a given.Talking Is a Free Action: Natch. My lung capacity cannot be matched.Dominonotes my endless, inane banter is actually my most dangerous ability, since most opponents are too distracted to pay attention to my moves. Just... as... plotted.Take Our Word for It:In one issue I was hired to kill a man by an old girlfriend whom he spread a rumor about. The rumor is so terrible, even Bullseye wanted the guy dead. Eventhe man whose house I broke intoto kill said Pizza Guy agreed. He went from \"You can't just come into my house and kill a guy\", to \"Dude, you so have to pay for what you did\" after being told what happened.InAmazing Spider-Man#611, I let slip that I have the \"Yo Mammageddon\", which reduced a Marine to tears, and ruptured a girl's pancreas.Take That!:When I had to train a bunch of Super Skrulls that managed to get my power set and costume, one comments on why they have to haveso many pouches on them. I remark, oh so sarcastically, about them being useful, turn to the reader and say \"Isn't that right,Rob?\"In my first ongoing series, a pair of old ladies who hire me to take out a human Road Runner give me a giant, complicated gun called \"The Liefelder.\"I even made fun ofJack Chick. Can't decide which of them deserve my ribbings more, tho'.Oh, and you guys shouldn't feel left out either. As Way had me mention the other day: \"There is nobody I hate more than my friends.\" I liked\"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member\"better though.Also, there's that leaked Internet script of myEXTRA FANTASTICfilm which will never happen because of suits I need to kill. I have an action figure of Dudepeel in the trash as I apparently moan about it. PSYCHE, I was moaning about WHAM'S 'Music From the Edge of Heaven' LP, which I then throw on top of Barakapool.ZING!What do I do when somebody compliments the prequel Star Wars trilogy?I blow up their fucking head\u25ca, that's what!Whenthe other sidegot themselves a whole bunch ofawesome3D covers, I figuredI'd join in the fun too!At one point, when I was collecting souls for Mephisto'sStarscream, Vetis, one of the guys I had to kill was pretty much a discount Aquaman. I even got to jump on the bandwagon of making fun of his dumb power. Downplayed since he was the only soul I had to collect who used his powers for good. I actually felt a bit guilty for killing him. His choice in power was still incredibly lame though.Of course the competition had their fair swipes at me too. Apparently someclown chickhas a partner calledRed Toolin her book. Har-de-har-har. Joke's on her, she's denied my dashing personality. Plus you know I can take a hammer hit worth a damn and come back from it just fine. Least I didn't have my retcon have to bleach my skin and dye my hair to like cotton candy just to draw in the fanboys.And let's not forget aboutthat timeI saved sometotally unrelated,not-at-all-affiliated-with(yet inexplicably sexy)guy from makingthe biggest mistake of his lifethe best way I know how:BY BLOWING HIS BRAINS OUT, BABY!Once again, you're welcome Canada.Talking to Themself: Because I like to talk to interesting people! A particularly amusing one is onX-Men LegendsII, where I can fight aBoss Battlewith myself, and we argue on who's the true Deadpool!Team Pet: Bob, agent of HYDRA! I even take him to the vet for check ups.Technicolor Ninjas: Bright red ninja, to be specific. I think itsuitsme.There Are No Therapists:Hell no man! My therapistDr. Bongis on the up and up!Trick Arrows: Yeah, I made 'em when I teamed up withHawkeyeto kill a bunch of pirates.They all are Hulk Hands toys the kids don't play with nowadays.The trick,they all explode!The person who written this story also was the same guy who made those internet comics aboutthat doctor who happens to also be a ninja,just like me!Too Kinky to Torture: Once, while on a job for X-Force, I was caught by Apocalypse's goons who then proceeded to tie me up just so I could regale them with a my stunning rendition ofMiami Sound Machine'sConga.Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth:Galactus fired me because I was just tooawesomefor him to handle. It'sdefinitely notbecause he wanted me toshut up.Then there was the time I was captured to be zombiefood. I tasted like cancer. And the time when I travelled to alternate universe and got infected by the Techno-Organic virus and almostassimilatedby theHive Mindof the virus... let's just say the result is not nice.Trademark Favorite Food: I'm crazy for Tex-Mex, like tacos, burritos, and chimichangas. Sometimes I just like saying the word\"Chimichanga\"more than actually eating them...almost...Trash Talk: I had a \"Your Mom\" fight with Spidey inAmazing Spider-Man#611. It was fun!Even though Ialmostmissed my chance to use Yo Mammageddon.Trigger-Happy: I like killing in general, but I LOVE ME SOME GUN!Troll: So I tend to mess with people, they just cannot take a joke.Twist Ending: ARE YOU READY GUYS? THIS IS HUGE.In Joe Kelly's original run, I'M NOT EVEN WADE WILSON. I just killed a random guy in his house and took over his identity! I wasn't even a good guy to begin with! But Marvel retconned this story (back in my fight with T-Ray inCable and Deadpool), so now apparently the Deadpool: Origins comic is the canon one.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:Some internet clownswith too much time on their hands once tried to pit me against that copycat Deathstroke (What do you mean, I'm HIS copy? Shut up, you). The results were predictable.He died. Not from a stroke, though.Then, because their tiny little minds had managed to clue in on the style of yours truly, they tried again, this time againsta pronking pink party ponywho managed to make even me look vaguely kinda sorta not-completely-nutso by comparison. The results were... unpredictable.Seriously, go check it out, it was awesome. I'm not gonna tell you who won, so there.I kept popping in from time to time to grace them with my presence, and eventually, they decided to pit me in a THIRD fight againstsome guy wearing a magical mask.Apparently they'd gotten tired of me or something.I maaaaaaybe got a little in over my head with that one, and apparently the hosts figured I wouldn't be able to win. Luckily, the guy was actually a good sport and tricked Wiz and Boomstick into reviving me with the Continuity Stone! Even when I lose, you still can't get rid of me!Someother internet clownswho really, really, really,really-[One Hour Later]-SUPER DUPER FANTABOUSLY MEGA ULTRA REALLYlove Dragon Ball did some sketches for their Abridged series of the Cell Games where various character challenge Cell before his big fight with Goku. And they picked me as one of them -Squee- I've always wanted to kill an android/bug/bishoen looking creature!Of course cause of the thing that we call status quo and \"not messing up canon\" or something. I ended getting called away by Wolverine before I could finish the match. Least I got to cut off his head and keep his hands. They make a nice foot stool.These two jerks tried to pit me andPinkie Pieagainst each other in aduel to the death, butwe quickly found out how much we had in common and teamed up against them. Then Pinkie learned it was my birthday and threw a party for me!Unreliable Narrator: Hey! I resemble that remark! Seriously, now, who are you gonna trust? Me... orreality? I bet reality doesn't have sweet guns like these...Useless Accessory: I almost never use all those pouches of mine. Although when I do, they have contained awesome action figures (of me), wallet, keys, and (on one occasion) a pancreas. Logic doesn't exactly work on me.Villain Protagonist: I bounce back and forth between this andHeroic Comedic Sociopath. Like a gun-toting pinball, really. Sometimes within the same issue!Villain with Good Publicity: Absolutely not. Butoutsidethe comic,is a completely different story.Vitriolic Best Buds: With, everybody. No matter how many fights I get in, I'm SURE that everybody loves me.What the Hell, Hero?: I call outCaptain America and Wolverine for not taking me seriously when I approached them about someone chasing after me with an interest in Weapon X. I do so because in the end they killed the family I didn't think I had.Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: I call the Punisher out on it during Suicide Kings. Since, you know, the previous day he tried to strangle me and electrocute my ass... withmecha-frickin'-tentacles.Me: What you got today, Punisher. The Beetle's wings? Plant-Man's chloro-blaster gun? One of the Porcupine's quills?Wholesome Crossdresser: Okay, the \"wholesome\" part? Questionable. Regardless, I decided to dress in a maid dress in issue #20. Why?'Cuz it was funny.No other reason than that.Who Wants to Live Forever?:My relationship with Death is a long distance one.Turns out to be what I've been obsessing about in the Daniel Way arc.Who Writes This Crap?!: The various writers behind my exicting adventures often tend to use me as a mouthpiece to criticize clich\u00e9d and cheap storytelling in the comic industry at large and \u2014provided they are humble enough\u2014 their own shortcomings as writers in particular. The writer of this entry who would probably try do the same to this very page, if they didn't have crippling axienty and actually possessed some sense of wit. Oh, yeah, I see what you did there. Self-awareness doesn't make you cool,dad!Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: CLOWNS? WHERE? Okay, don't scare me like that! Seriously, the only greater threat to this planet than those guys is Galactus! Don't believe me? Well, hope I never have to say \"I told you so\"...Wild Card: The Merc with a Mouth mangles for money! Unless I don't want to for some random reason.Wolverine Publicity: To put it simply, starting in 2008, I've kicked good ol' Wolverine off his title as Marvel's Poster Child.Just because this has to be on the Internet somewhere: The Poster Child succession has been thus \u2014 Captain America (1940s/50s) < The Fantastic Four (1960s) < Spider-Man (1970s) < Wolverine (1980s/90s) < Deadpool (current)Interestingly, this corresponds toThe Golden Age of Comic Books,The Silver Age of Comic Books,The Bronze Age of Comic Books,The Dark Age of Comic Books, andThe Modern Age of Comic Books. However, Wolverine still hasn't fully left the spot andThe Hoodis also trying to claim the position, and Anti-Venom... yeah. Its like the pro wrestlers say: the belt might as well be a target. And then there's thenewkidson the block.And lately I've been having to divide readers' attention withIron Man. Just because ofthe movieswhere he appears.Iseriouslyneed to go talk to Ryan Reynolds to get my own movie off the ground...HA! DONE! That wasn't so hard! It's amazing what some test footage does...you know, on top of a few bullets flying around. And Ryan finally got around to posting that picture of himself in my suit too! Sure he may not capture my sexiness perfectly, butDAMN do I look good!As to the actual namesake of the trope, fortunately, we all know my video game is all about fabulous me, so it will featurenone of those shenani--\u25cawait, what? Oh,come on!Would Hit a Girl: Hey ladies, you want equality right? Guess what, I'm all for it. Shadowcat will tell you just how much I support feminism!noteGlad to see that you're all suggesting her as DLC inMarvel vs. Capcom 3. I'll let her know about it the next time I see her, probably before I knock her unconscious.Wouldn't Hurt a Child:One of the few things I won't kill is kids.And since we're on the subject,Deadpool Kills Deadpoolis sweet. That version of me's gonna PAY for killing thePower Pack...and ESPECIALLY Kidpool.I also chewed out my former Uncanny X-Force colleague Fantomex for snuffing out Kid Apocalypse.Unbeknown to me and the rest of the team at the time, he made a clone of the kid.Oddly, this isn't the case for my incarnation inHulk Vs. Wolverine, who expresses a desire to shoot those \"floating babies\", as he calls them. Remind me to kill him sometime...Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: Parodiedeth when I briefly taketh possession of a faketh copy ofthout viking guy'shammer and change thost speech patterns accordinglyst.

There's a killer itch on my butt that needs a scratchin' and my microwaved burritos are almost done. I promise we'll fight some ninjas or some other crap later.

Theunquestionably smartest manon Earth. Doom was born to aRomanifamily in theFictional Countryof Latveria, the son of a witch and an herbalist. When my beloved mother Cynthia was killed by the demons she had summoned to fight Latverian soldiers, Doom swore revenge! The death of my father at the bidding of the Latverian tyrant only added fuel to Doom's desire for... further revenge!The die had been cast! Doom sought mastery of both magic and technology, amusing himself by leading the Latverian government on a merry chase and scorning their pathetic attempts to destroy him. When word of his exploits inevitably reached the United States, Doom gained the opportunity to study in America. There, Doom had a fateful meeting with... Reed Richards, one of the few humans on the planet who occasionally manage enough flickerings of cognition to make themselves genuinely useful to Doom. Doom manipulated the naif into helping me construct a portal to Hell, with the noble goal of retrieving my mother's soul. Whether due to Richards' incompetence - or intentional sabotage on his part out of jealousy for Doom's genius - or perhaps both! - the device exploded andforever marred the noble visage of Doom.Editor's NoteAccording to all other accounts, Reed not only had nothing to do with the portal's explosion, he actuallywarnedDoom that it would-ACK!Doomaccurately and eternallyblames Richards for his disfigurement, which compelled Doom towithdraw from society for some time.In Doom's continuing quest for mastery of all human knowledge, he joined a mysterious order which taught him secrets of metallurgy. Doom used this lore to create a suit ofPowered Armorwhich he has used (with some modifications) since that day. From that moment, and forever more, Doom has been known asDoctor Doom. Doom swiftly overthrew the foolish and unworthy tyrant of Latveria, made public my claim as absolute master of that land, and has since ruled it with an iron fist - the iron and yet simultaneously benevolent and enlightened fist of Doom! Doom's path then once again crossed that of...Richards,now accompanied by hisfoolish family and sycophants, who became my sworn enemies. Yet Doom's plans have encountered many obstacles: he has battled heroes and villains inabundance!-The Avengers, theX-Men,Spider-Man, theHulk,Iron Man,Thor,Luke Cage- all have striven against Doom! Some have even succeeded intemporarilyarresting my plans!noteThe charitable Doom condescends to mentionSquirrel Girlin a footnote for managing to best a Doombot. She most certainly never defeated Doom, as many fools claim.counter-noteTippy-Toe Says:Squirrel Girltotally pwned Doc Doom in a story written bySteve Ditkohim-freakin'-self! That'ssoin contin-AAK!counter-counter-noteWould-be chroniclers need not always mention Squirrel Girl in the same breath as Doom!Doom is more than one trifling incident!Doom's many, many,manyvictories are why Doom is considered Marvel's most iconic villain.Indeed, Doom has overcome far greater threats than some simpering peasant girl and her tree-crawling rats! That accursed Richards once engineered my overthrow in favor of the unworthy Prince Zorba. By making it obvious even to their lesser intellects that Zorba was laying waste to the land that Doom has so lovingly shepherded, I manipulated Richards and his lackeys into aiding my re-ascension. Even that sentimental buffoon could see that the people of Latveria were better off under the beneficient and total control of Doom!You, the common people of the Earth, continually hunger for Doom to appear! And I deign to grant your wish in video games, television programs, films and more, even those that do not afford me an opportunity to vanquish a certaininsufferable elastic fraud...You can behold my power in fighting gamesmadebyCapcom, despite the indignity of being second fiddle to that egomaniacal ham,Thanos. Rest assured that Doom WILL strike downRyuand hisCapcomilk in Richards' stead. And you may rest assured that any match in which Doom is defeated... it was a Doombot!Doom has also granted the boon of his presence to several television series, right back to the dayswhen your pathetic animators could not document events of the Marvel Universe through anything other thansliding drawings in front of a camera. I have been portrayed in cinema byJoseph Culp,Julian McMahon, andToby Kebbell. Hubris, yes, but done with enough skill and respect to stay Doom's wrath.Speaking of cinematic portrayals, Doom's presence may soon grace theMarvel Cinematic Universeat long last, due toDisney's acquisition of20th Century Fox, finally putting an end to the pettynoteAnd when Doom says \"petty\", Doom meansVERYpetty, and this is coming fromDoom.film rights disputebetween the two. Because of said rights dispute, Doom must admit that he has hadsomeissues with not only with Fox, but also Marvel Entertainment's miserable overseer Isaac Perlmutter, who not only forbade Marvel's artists to depict Doom in Marvel's promotional artwork, but alsohas made Doom a heroas the newIron Manfor Marvel's 2016Marvel Nowevent. However, Doom must admit that he is partial toKevin Feige, and is anticipating what his creative vision for Doom is. Despite these turbulent events, never forget:DOOM IS SUPREME NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!The lovely mortals ofUniversal Orlandowere gracious enough to provide Doom with his owntheme park ride, something that those patheticrodent parkswould never do.The Internet, too, has been copiously graced with Doom's image. My likeness has been used on a show calledAssist Me, in which Doom inexplicably shares his quarters with a video game player by the name of Maximilian. Though, for some odd reason, Doom is shown to display equally bizarre affinities for yogurt and an evidently popular children's show namedMy Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I will be sure to look into that particular Doombot soon enough, though one thing is certain -his slick rhymes are as unbeatable as the real thing. Doom has also taken part in another web series calledDEATH BATTLE!, where many characters from different universes engage in mortal combat. Doom grants his assigned opponent, oneDarth Vader, the supreme accolade: he was that rarest of things, a worthy opponent. However...Doom would later find himself again in thatblood sportwhen facing his OTHER assigned opponent,Lex Luthor, the bald-headed man had the boldness to use the same technique in his far inferiorLexbotBut while he was amore of a challenge thanks to his newly added superhuman abilities, Lex was a fool to believe he won...forDoom swapped our bodies, letting that alien-hating cretincrush his own heart in...then to add insult to injury...slammed him into his own logo and sliced him up...all while Doom looks away, knowing the powers of his were beneath me, even as Emperor Doom.While Doom is without true peers, many villains have been inspired by his greatness. It is said thatGeorge Lucastook inspiration from myself to create the aforementioned cultural icon Vader: it is whispered thatJack Kirbyhad Doom's majesty in mind when he fashioned thatunstablemegalomaniacemployed byDC Comics. Countless otheraspirantsto Doom's glory have appeared in various forms of popular fiction. Yet some fools take their lives in their hands by mocking Doom - the game-maker Adam Heart and hismockery of Doom\"Dr. Shoals\" is just one of the knaves who court disaster thus!Do not fall into error! Doom should not be confused withthe being known as Dr. Travis Doom, or his cousin twice removedDoctor BobDoom.Tropes that have been wrought by the mighty hands ofDoctor Doom:Actually a Doombot: Whenever some overconfident dolt thinks they have bested the mighty Doom, they will eventually discover it was simply one of my Doombots distracting them from what Doom was really doing. These versatile automata are also used as anAuthor's Saving Throwwhenever some dullard has written Doom in a way that seems out of character. Doom permits this, since it allows them toRetconout moments of foolishness or unnecessary viciousness which would otherwise defame the good name of Doom!Tropes that have been deemed worthy ofDoctor Doom:The Ace: This trope was made for Doom. Doom's skills are unparalleled across the entire universe, no... the MULTIVERSE AND BEYOND! Doom is anunrivalledmaster of the sciences,a talented combatant (though admittedly trivial duels with lesser minds are beneath Doom... though I tend to make an exception for Reed Richards), a master of the mystic arts in a manner far surpassing that of the so-calledSorcerer Supremeand I have made Latveria the triumphant and innovative metropolis it is today using only my brilliance andgloriousleadership skills. Doom must confess it pleases Doom to no end to know that whilstRIIIIICHAAAARDDDSwas unable to keep his family safe during the Invisible Woman's dangerous labor, it fell to Doom to ensure the child's safety (which Doom handled exquisitely, if I do say so myself). Many of you here may have heard the disparaging rumors that theremay be others more capable than Doom in any given field(Doom needs to uncover the source of this malicious propaganda andswiftly put an end to them). Ignore them, for there isNO ONEabove Doom. YOU DARE QUESTION THE VALIDITY OF DOOM'S PRODIGIOUSNESS?!! For the wise few who rightfully concede Doom's brilliance, you may remember Doom's might has in fact been reinforced in several of his storylines, particularly when I(AND I ALONE)was judged worthy of wielding the legendary Mjolnir, the great hammer ofthe Thunder God!Finally, while it's purely leisurely,I am a sensational artist and musician.Adaptational Badass: InThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest HeroesI am powerful enough to easily defeat the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Doom is mighty but my sworn enemies do pose far more of a threat to me than that.Adaptational Heroism: Doom is always a hero, but my incarnation inMarvel 2099is this. This incarnation of me did grow more concerned with saving innocent lives, and did notgrow bored with ruling the United Statesafter freeing it from its corporate overlords and improved the lives of those unfortunate to be born in that miserable future.In the end I made aHeroic Sacrificeto end the menace of the Phalanx.Adaptational Jerkass:My incarnation inIron Man: Armored Adventures.

They apparently thought it was necessary to give Doom anAdaptation Origin Connectionto the accursed team that Richards assembled as opposed to Richards himself - bah!And to a lesser extent inIron Man: Armored Adventures. Doom still hasPowered Armor, but rather than using any type of typical weapons you would expect, my armor instead functions bymanipulating quantum fields, which also provides the explanation for powers that would normally be the result of my magic. As the Mandarin's rings were explained to work through quantum fields, this series apparently felt the need to introduce the concept with me.Affably Evil: Doom is not a cruel despot! Those who know their place shall discover that Doom is generous, respectful and honorable.Age Lift: Much like the accursed Richards and Grimm, I am a middle-aged man. Also like them them, some adaptions have made me closer in age to Susan and her brother: BothJim LeeandTim Storydepict me as a decade or two younger, and bothUltimate Fantastic FourandJosh Trankdepict all five of us teenagers or in our early 20s.Alternate Self: Doom has some of the most formidable counterparts inThe Multiverse:TheMarvel 2099Doom, who took over the United States, and later gave his life to save the world from the menace of the Phalanx.TheMarvel 1602Doom, whoassassinated the queenand was generally theBig Badof the entire first series.

However, because of my actions, Doom earns the ire ofMephistowho imposes on him a... stringentSadistic Choice...AnotherWhat If?shows what would have happened if Doom had managed to keep the Beyonder's power, which results in him winning the Secret Wars, acquiring Thanos'Infinity Gauntlet, anddominating the cosmos. This attracts the attention ofthe Celestialswhom Doom eventually defeats in a war thatdestroys the planet. Using the last of my power, Doomrecreates Earth and humanity with it before becoming mortal myself in order to lead them to greatness.Master Menace from the originalSquadron Supremeis aCaptain Ersatzof Doom. Some would suggest that the archenemy ofSupermancounterpart Hyperion would more accurately be regarded as a counterpart ofLex Luthor, but Menace at least had the good sartorial sense to ape Doom's style. Of course, Doom may someday destroy him for that presumption.I met the realSupermanandLex LuthorinSuperman & Spider-Man #2. Being theMagnificent Bastardthat I am, Supermancould do nothing to me\u25casince I resided in my embassy and was under Latverian law. The magnificent part? I did it out in the open on the embassy's doorstep to his face.InMarvel Zombies, Doom,alone of everyone in the entire universe without exception, was able to resist the zombie infection by sheer willpower alone. Doom has moreHeroic Willpowerthan that universe's version ofCAPTAIN AMERICA.Ultimate Marvel's Doctor Doom is an aristocrat named Victor Van Damme, who meddles with the teleportation experiment being performed by Reed Richards. This created theUltimate Fantastic Four, and also transformed him intoa demonic-looking being of living metalwho isNigh Invulnerable, can throw razor-sharp spines from his body and has aBreath Weaponof toxic fumes (which is supposedly based upon the fact his now-useless organs arerotting into liquid inside his body). His greatest scheme wasBody SnatchingRichard's body, only to end up transferring back and taking a one-way portal through the world ofMarvel Zombies. Whilst it's unknown how he survived that fate, he did so, and is now part of the Future Foundation.It's worth noting thatsomeone pretended to be Doom for a while, and that impostor's action led to Magneto executing his Ultimatum. The Thing then promptly killed off the impostor for his part in motivating Magneto into performing it. If such a man could not perform a simple task as protecting his self in his own dwelling, he cannot truly be Doom.A second Ultimate Doctor Doom has since reared his head; although also comparable to the Tomorrow Man in his motives, Ultimate Reed Richards has apparently taken Van Damme's place as the \"Ultimate Doctor Doom\". (Doom is unsure how I feel about the irony of this). Naturally, Richards was not adequate to the task of imitating Doom, and like the inferior man he is, tried to claim repentance. This was in turn a ruse, as Richards soon revealed his true colours once more, as the despicable villain and coward he always was.An alternate future version of Doom appeared inFantastic Four: The End, where Doom had partially converted to a four-armed cybernetic form to make up for the wear and tear decades of battle with that accursed Richards had caused. Doom seemingly perished in a final confrontation that also claimed the lives of Richards and Storms children Franklin and Valeria, leading to something I myself have never succeeded in; the destruction of the Fantastic Four. However, years later, its revealed that Doom and the children had been pushed through a time warp with the powers of Franklin Richards, appearing in the midst of a massive alien invasion of Earths solar system. Doom himself is drawn into the Negative Zone permanently, which he conquers after destroying Annihilus, and is greeted as a liberator by its inhabitants.Unfortunately my tolerance of other dimensional counterparts had its limits upon reaching the Marvel Apes universe, where Doom learned that my counterpart was a baboon. A BABOON?! That universe deserves extinction. Doom has spoken.Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: The name of this trope fills Doom with rage. There isnouniverse where Reed Richards is \"awesome\"! AlternateDooms,on the other hand, tend to become cosmic beings, defenders of Earth, or both. Doom is aware that it is meant to be the opposite ofthe far more appropriately named trope, but I stand by statement. Doom prefersthattrope's name much more.Always Second Best: ToReed Richards,Tony StarkandDoctor Strangein the fields of science, technology and magic, respectively. That is, they are always second best to Doom. If you hear otherwise, it is because they have persuaded feeble-minded tropers that their jealousy-clouded account is the true one. Be wiser than they.During theSecret Wars (2015)event, I was forced to concede that Reed Richards could and would have used the Beyonder's power far more effectively than I, myself. This admission caused a sudden reversal in my fortunes, as Owen Reese then decided to gift Richards with the power. However, I shall curse neither of them for this, for as a parting gift,Reed Richards restored my once ruined visage.\u25caAmazon Brigade:The Black Swans, featured inNew Avengers, are devout servants of Doom. Indeed, religiously so.And Now You Must Marry Me:Miss Munroehas, on occasion, proven herself worthy of the supreme honor of becoming Doom's helpmate.And Show It to You:During theSecret Wars (2015)event, Thanos sought to instruct Doom on the true nature of Godhood, delivering to Doom what you of this website would refer to as a\"The Reason You Suck\" Speech. This current trope is how Doom offered his rebuttal to the imbecile.Doom has done the same to the alleged Asgardian \"goddess\" Kelda. Even the gods cannot stand against DOOM!Answers to the Name of God: During my reign as God-Emperor of Battleworld, Doom's name stood in for god. And there were no other gods but Doom. After all, with the power I had at my disposal, how could Inotbe a god?Anti-Villain: When I care to be, I can be aNoble DemonorWell-Intentioned Extremist. Doom frequently does thingsFor the Greater Good, and also follows a code of honor.Arch-Enemy: Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four, but mainlyRIIIIICCCCCHHHHAAAARRRRDDDSSSS!!!!!!We have fought so many times I have lost count, and yet neither they nor I can seem to be permanently rid of the other.Asshole Victim: Youdareuse either terms to label Doom! Well,I will grant that thefuture version of who wasslain byOld King Thordidn't deserve to live after deciding todestroy all life on Earth.Badass Armfold: Doom's most common pose when not fighting.Badass Bookworm: While Doom would never stoop to using such plebeian jargon, it is true Doom's intelligence is without question, and even without thePowered ArmorDoom is still a formidable (albeitcompletely human) combatant. Doom has even killed a lion with his bare hands on one occasion (when stranded in the wild on an alternate Earth). While completely naked. And then Doom skinned it for meat and for sinew to make weapons. Then Doomwore its carcass as clothing and used its face to make a new mask.Badass Cape: Not exactly the most practical of accessories, but still rather stylish, especially with gold clasps.Badass in a Nice Suit: Post-Secret Wars (2015), Doom has taken todressing in a nice suit.Badass Normal: \"Normal\" is the last word that could be used to describe one such as Doom, but it is true that I have defeated super-powered humans and being still greater than they using only my unprecedented genius.Bad Boss/Benevolent Boss: Doom has been both of these, depending the situationand the writer.I value the lives of the people of Latveria. But outside goons are a different story, they can replaced.Batman Gambit: Doom would have you believe all of Triumph and Torment was one.Ultimate Doomtriedto engineer an example of this in regards to Magneto, but that led toUltimatumand his eventual (temporary) demise.Beam Me Up, Scotty!: Admittedly, Doom has not yelled Richards' name as much as this page would suggest, not within the boundaries of the Marvel Universe anyway, but more ina satirical comic series that ran in a magazine no longer in print.However, who's to say that thisdoesn'tsound like Doom?! If even thatmindless mercenarycan have things by his followers incorporated into his page, thenso can Doom.Beauty to Beast: Doom was once a handsome man until that meddling Reed Richards disfigured Doom's marvelous visage into a hideous shape that shall remain forever hidden behind a steel mask. But Doom's will isalsoforged of steel! No mere scratch will tarnish Doom's resolve!Berserk Button:RRRIIIIIIIICCCHHAAAARRDDSSS!!!!!Honestly, need Doom say more?Better the Devil You Know: Doom is NOT the devil, cretin! But if you insist on such a comparison, while many accuse Doom of being a tyrant, King Vladimir Fortunov was a dictator who committed monstrous atrocities, including the murder of children and ethnic cleansing aimed at Roma.Doom does not rule his lands out of bigotry!The same cannot be said of any of the usurpers who have attempted \u2014 and failed \u2014 to oust Doom from the throne of Latveria. EvenSpider-Man\u2014 who, if I recall, accused Doom to his face of being a tyrant \u2014 admitted once that Latveria is better under my rule than anyone else's.Beyond the Impossible: Typically, the laws of time-travel dictate that one cannot change the events of their own timeline. Doom is beyond such petty constraints, and has invented the technology known as the Doomlock to break this rule. Of course, only DOOM may use this technology.Big Bad:Richards and his family often insist Doom is the greatest villain in whatever misadventure they are undertaking.As it transpires, Doom is one of the main antagonists ofThe Avengers (Jonathan Hickman), the \"Rabum Alal\" responsible in part for the multiversal destruction Doom had sought to prevent.Big Good:The willpower of Doom, and Doom alone, is the sole thing keeping Battleworld stable inSecret Wars. Not even Richards and his pathetic team could accomplish that!Bond Villain Stupidity: Fools may mistake Doom's unpredictable strategies in this way - butonlyfools. Any oaf could destroy Richards with sufficient force: that is not Doom's goal. Only when Richards is shamed and humiliated, after Doom has brought his whole world down around him, when he recognizes his defeat as total -thenhe will be ready to die at my hands.Breakout Villain: ENOUGH! Very well, Doom admits that I do fit this trope, having battled virtually every mainstream hero in theMarvel Universe, and have even been featured in media adaptions not about theFantastic Four.Iron Man: Armored AdventuresandAvengers Assembleboth feature Doom with the Fantastic Four barely getting mentioned, if at all. Doom is, dissapointed that I was denied the chance to battle Richards.Indeed, I am so well known that non-comic readers often haven't even heard of the lesser enemies of the Fantastic Four, save maybeGalactus.HEED THIS MESSAGE,for Doom will only speak itonce.While Doom has no need for the approval of lesser beings,Doom is nonetheless pleased that many of you recognize Doom's brilliance.Perhaps if I conquor your world after I am finished with my own, it is encouraging to know I will have an abundance of allies awaiting my leadership. Doom is also pleased that while Doom himself has a voice in this, the Fantastic Four - especiallyRichards- does not. You have done well on that front. \u2026...NO MORE DELAYS, CONTINUE TO READ OF MY EXPLOITS!Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: During my battle with Mephisto to save my mother's soul, I managed to destroy his body with an anti-matter bomb. But Mephisto is immortal, and simply created a new body so all I managed to do was inconvience him. I still succeeded in freeing my mother's soul, but Strange and I only escaped alive because Mephisto couldn't claim our souls if he killed us.Bullying a Dragon: Entering Mephisto's realm to save my mother's soul proved this. Even with Doctor Strange's assistance, the demon was too powerful in his own realm. I managed to destroy Mephisto's body, only for him to create a new one. Thankfully that demon refused to slay us, killing foes puts their souls beyond his reach.I once challengedGalactusunder the belief that he was helpless against magic.I was wrong.NowLet Us Never Speak of This Again.In the90s cartoonafter I first stole the powers of theSilver Surfer, I made the mistake of thinking it would allow me to defeat Galactus. When I repeated that plan, I made sure Galactus was on the other side of the galaxy so there was no chance of him meddling in my plans again.But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Once, a misshapen creature attacked Doom, claiming I had once used him as the subject of an experiment and declared himself \"the man whose life you destroyed.\" Doom pointed out, quite logically, that the man cannot possibly expect Doom to remember every life he has destroyed.Byronic Hero: Doom finds this label misleading and yet appropriate at the same time. It is true my present actions are informed by the wrongs inflicted upon Doom in the past (the loss of my mother, the murder of my father,Richards tricking me into scarring myself), I have great passions and a powerful will and that I care nothing for what the so-called heroes think of me. The idea that I am \"flawed\", on the other hand, is far less applicable.The Caligula: Some American comics unaccountably portray Doom this way. Naturally, such mischaracterizations have no foundation in fact.Servant:But \u2014 what of my freedom, Sire? What of yourpromise?Doom:(Grabs the man by the throat) You dare speak tomeof promises? Have you forgotten that your very life is in my hands? Each breath you take \u2014 eachmomentyou live \u2014 is only becauseIallow it!Captain Patriotic: I might not shareRogers'sanctimonious \"morals\", but I can qualify for this trope. The common folk of Latveria love Doom, and I shall see to it they never forget this fact.NEVER.Card-Carrying Villain: Bah! LIES! Why would a great ruler such as Doom style himself as a villain? If only the world would acquiesce to my benevolent tyranny, they would recognize me for the hero I truly am!Characterization Marches On: During the Kirby/Lee era, Doom was often depicted as a raving operetto despot rather than the benevolent and beloved autocrat that can be seen in the works ofJohn Byrneand forth. It is true that raving operetto was Kirby's default style of characterization, and also true that going up to eleven in this regard may have been the only way he saw of portraying Doom as \"The Villain\" relative to the (in retrospect unusually) unsympathetic characterization that Reed Richards had in those days, but it is hard to forgive his failure to see the difference between the greatness that is Doom and the archetypical petty despot of which his \"Real Life\" Earth sported so many examples. Still, Doom is merciful.To exemplify: In one case, where Doom had rendered the accursed Fantastic Four powerless and graciously allowed them to live in a sort of house arrest in a Latverian village, it is claimed that Doom's reaction to them managing to recover their powers and attempting escape would be to remotely activate the self-destruct mechanism for the village, that would kill not only the accursed quartet but also all the Latverian citizens therein. Moreover, it is claimed that such self-destruct mechanisms are installed under all Latverian villages! Would Doom, loving ruler of all of Latveria, ever contemplate such a heinous act?The depiction of my skills in the mystic arts was initially presented as rudimentary, but later depictions escalated it to where I've bested magic-based characters including Morgan La Fey - no rank amateur mind you - using only magic. I would have taken the title of Sorcerer Supreme if Doctor Strange hadn't gotten it first.I have taken to wearinga finely tailored suitinstead of my more familiar armor, no longer refer to myselfin the third person, and whileI once had one of the finest French chefs on my staffI waited for Tony Stark at a children's hospital while consuming a bag of potato chips. I have also decided that I no longer wish to rule over Latveria, as I have grasped my true calling. And when Stark lobbed insults and lashed out at me with repulsor blasts from his Hulkbuster armor, I calmly waited for him to finish his tantrum before explaining to him that he would benefit working with me, instead of rebuking his foolishness with force.One particularly malfunctioning Doombot (obviously) once sought to \"exercise his authority\" by laying with a loyal Latverian citizen. Doom cares little for such baser needs, and would draw the line at that kind of \"use\" of his subjects. The Doombot was scrapped, and its programming purged.Clothing Damage: When the Fantastic Four turned the tables on me inUnthinkablemy suit got more damaged as the fight when on, Reed destroying my hood, and Johnney burning off the coverings on my arms and legs.Cold Ham: Doom's counterpart fromThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroesis as everybit confident and righteous as I am. However, he is far less bombastic than myself, preferring to speak in a much more collected manner.The Comically Serious: Do not let it be said that Doom cannot be funny. Mybombastic theatricsmean I can say a great many funny things. Or other things may be funny merely because I said them.Complexity Addiction: Bah! It is no fault of Doom's that lesser minds cannot grasp the scope and sophistication of our long-term plans!Cool Gun: I have in the past carried a Mauser C96 on my person to dispose of inferiors not worth the energy from my armor's weaponry.Crazy-Prepared: Doom has learned that I must prepare for anything when carrying out my plans, including backup plans not working the way I intend them to. I deny that this is \"crazy\" since such preparationsoften prove necessary. And unlike a certainBritannianplebeDoom does not have to worry aboutthe cosmos frowning upon him. Doom leaves nothing to chance. If Doom's plan fails youknow the real reason why.To further demonstrate, I knew, after my return from theSecret Wars (2015)that Tony Stark would lash out at me for perceived grievances. I had already established a mystical barrier to allow him an opportunity to vent his frustrations without any danger to myself.Should Doom ever expire (which shall never happen, for Doom is eternal!), my Doombots are designed and programmed to continue Doom's works in my stead.I even prepare for those from another continuity, asthe Parasite\u25cadiscovered the hard way.Doom even sees that his loyal subjects are prepared, as each and every one of them are specifically trained to assemble and program a functional Doombot out of readily available materials. The Doombot can then provide proper guidance with whatever problem they have, and protect them from threats.Cult of Personality: Doom's loyal subjects love and worship their just and benevolent ruler. Naturally, they find comfort in the shadow of the great statues of their mighty monarch that have been erected to his honor by the grateful indwellers of every Latverian city. Festivals in celebration of the greatness that is Doom are held whenever he indicates that he will indulge such completely spontaneous expressions of popular joy at his benevolent rule.Curb-Stomp Battle: My last fight withBlack Panther, when Doom easilyOut-Gambittedand crippled T'Challa. Though T'Challa paid Doom back for that in \"Doomwar\", I will not let that lie, I assure you.Once I gained my new mystical power inUnthinkableI effortless defeated the Fantastic Four andstripped them of their powers. Richards did however avenge that defeat later.Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Why should I market my inventions? Not that Doom hasn't in order to fund his greater goals. As the rightful sovereign of Latveria, I have all the resources I need. After all, Doom has loftier goals than mere money.Dark and Troubled Past: Mentioned above, my life has not been pleasant.Dead All Along: InAvengers & the Infinity Gauntlet. I had in fact died when Thanos killed half the universe, the Doctor Doom who joined the effort to defeat Thanos wasActually a DoombotI built in the event a crisis occured and I was able to fight to it.Deadpan Snarker:Depending on the Writer, Doom either has clever remarks at hand or hasNo Sense of Humor.Deal with the Devil: Mephisto and I had a specific deal that allowed me to attempt to rescue my mother from Hell once a year, but each time I failed, the people of Latveria would hate me more and more. I eventually succeeded with some slight assistance from Doctor Strange,beating him at his own game!Though admittedly, with avery heavy price.Death Seeker: Doom became this inOld Man Logan. Dying of cancer, I sought to meet my end in glorious combat at the hands of aWorthy Opponentinstead of wasting away.My enemies denied me this.Deceased Parents Are the Best:LIES!!!Doom finds the name of this trope to be quite misleading. When Doom was born, Doom's mother had her soul taken by the foul Mephisto, and Doom spent many years questing to recover it. Meanwhile, it was the untimely demise of Doom's father, persecuted and hounded unto death by a local baron that persuaded Doom further down the path he has chosen.Demonic Possession: Not quite (Doom is no demon!), but close. When Doom was dead (temporarily), he managed to use his Ovoid mind tricknotesee down for\"Freaky Friday\" Flipand take over the bodies of theFantastic Four, forcing Reed Richards to kill his best friend! Poetic.Depending on the Artist: My armor maintains the same basic design throughout the years but by mask has had some details vary like the shape of piece where my mouth is.Depending on the Writer: Doom has been forced to suffer fools often in this regard.Does Doom care for his people, or are they simply mere implements of Doom's will, to be abused and discarded as Doom desires? Likewise, do the people of Latveria care for Doom, or do they merely fear his wrath?Is Doom a man of honor and principle, or a posturing maniac?Destructive Saviour: Know that Doom has saved all existence from the beings known as the Beyonders... albeit, Doom admits, at a high cost. Much of the multiverse was laid to waste by Doom's efforts, and that was before Doom's attempt at finishing off the creatures destroyed almost all the universes left standing.Determinator: The only thing more impervious than Doom's armor is Doom'swill.Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Why, yes. Creatures far beyond the ken of mortal man, wielders of the Power Cosmic, even gods have all been defeated by Doom's might and intellect.Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: I did indeed when I entered Mephisto realm to save my dear mother's soul with Stephen Strange's aid. He offered to trade her soul for that of Doctor Strange. I complied, and Strange not forseeing my betrayal-HOLD YOUR TOUNGE!Doom knows how Mephistonever makes a deal without cheating those involved.He trapped Strange in a crystal that negated his sorcery, but I left a device on Strange's person that allowed him to break free once Mephistopredictably found a way to cheat me.Diplomatic Impunity: I am the head of state of Latveria, and enjoy legal defense against any deluded man of action who might attempt something drastic against my sovereign person while I am in America.Disability as an Excuse for Jerkassery:Silence, You Fool!!Doom only seeks requital for the unforgivable harms done to him.Disproportionate Retribution: Some claim that Reed did not do what Doom has sworn vengeance on him for. In fact, retcons suggest that Reed was wrong and Doom's device actually worked perfectly well \u2014 the problem was that Doom used it to look into Hell itself! Bah! No punishment is too great for that accursed Richards. Doom is greatly displeased by these ludicrous and patently false charges. Not that Doom wouldn't consider it accurate that the machine was a success, and that Richards was indeed incorrect about its chances.Domestic Abuse: Doom resents all such baseless slander. I do not abuse my domestics. And if I sometimes physically discipline them, this is no concern of sanctimonious American busybodies and their childish fantasies of unrealistic equality.Don't You Dare Pity Me!:Pity?PITY?!Only the weak are pitied, and Doom is never weak!DO YOU DARE TO IMPLY SUCH THINGS ABOUT DOOM?!?Doomy Dooms of Doom: It is Doom's name, and it is what Doom shall bring to those that oppose him. Why should Doomnotbe allowed the psychological advantage frequent use of his name enables?Doppelg\u00e4nger Spin: Doom has an Image Projector that can create a lifelike projection of himself nearby. Doom uses it as a decoy to befuddle weak and foolish opponents!Dramatically Missing the Point: Doom, of course, never misses the point, whatever lesser intellects might believe. For example, Reed Richards once libellously called Doom a slaver, and Doom's loyal subjects, slaves. Doom, of course, understood why this comparison is not relevant, even if Richards himself did not.Doom: He dares comparemeto a slave-owner?! History teaches us that slaves have been known toescape!But here, in my kingdom,nonecan escape! I am the master \u2014 they are the subjects \u2014forevermore!The Dreaded: Doom is a foe rightly feared, though not to the degree of more destructive menaces like theRed Skull, Galactus or Ultron, nor does Doom wish for that; I wish to be respected and feared, not seen as some monster that has the commoners shuddering at the mention of my name.Driven by Envy: For Reed Richards, who is and has always been slightly better than Doom at everythi\u2014LIES!!!!NO ONE IS GREATER THANDOOM!Richards is an arrogant and envious dolt whose feeble excuse for a mind cannot fathom that of DOOM! It isHISjealousy that has driven him to these insidious acts of gross slander!! He would have beennothingwithout the aid Doom so graciously and generously decided to lend him and his research! AND HE ISSTILLISNOTHINGBESIDE THE AWESOME MAGNIFICENCE OF DOOM!NOTHING, I TELL YOU!!I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS, RICHARDS!!!Droit du Seigneur:Some writershave alleged that Doom practices theius primae noctiswith regards to the maidens of Latveria, even to the point of depicting it. Naturally, this drivel is American imperialist propaganda. Being an enlightened monarch who dearly loves his people, Doom would never stoop so low.Easily Forgiven: When I sold Strange's soul to Mephisto. He obviously wasn't pleased that I would do such a thing even for the sake of freeing my mother, but the minute he saw thatMephisto made the deal just to dangle my mother's freedom in front of me, he was far more enraged at Mephisto than he was me. And I didn't really betray him, I left a device on him that allowed him to break free from thatAnti-Magicprison Mephisto trapped him in. So it was justified that in this instance Strange held no grudge, Doom was not so foolish as to make a deal with Mephisto without some ensurance.Egopolis: A municipality is only worthy of the supreme honor and beneficence of Doom's ongoing presence if it also bears Doom's name! When Doom seized control of Latveria, the name of its capital was changed from Hassenstadt to Doomstadt, and other major towns followed suit. (I left the name Latveria itself alone, however - even under Doom's benevolent new order, tradition and heritage have their value.)Emperor Scientist: And Latveria is a unparalleled technology utopia as a result.Enemy Mine: So often have the accursedFantastic Fourhad to call on Doom's aid that it is a wonder that the insipid masses still regard them and not Doom as heroes.I have also allied many other heroes when they require Doom's aid to save the world.Equal-Opportunity Evil: All people, regardless of sex, class, color or creed are welcome in Latveria, so long as they first acknowledge Doom as their master.Escaped from Hell: I fought my way out once. Any implication that I had help from the unexpected appearance of a certainhammeris nonsense.\"There isDoomenough for everyone!\"Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: While Doom may appear \"bad\" by your inadequate and uninformed system of labels, Doom's willingness to do whatever is necessary to free Doom's mother from the clutches of Mephisto was a fundamental life-defining trait for decades, until Doom was finally victorious.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Concepts of love rarely enter the equation when it comes to monarchy, but nevertheless, Doom has those he cares for.First and foremost, my people are the reason I do many of the things I do. Their wellbeing remains my top priority.Doom loved his mother deeply and Mephisto remains a bitter enemy for the hell he put her through. Doom also sincerely regrets the loss of his father. He was a good man and Doom remembers him fondly.In my youth, I sought the affections of a Latverian girl named Valeria, a rare beauty and the first woman to hold a place in my heart. Though I was not deterred from my personal goals and indeed sacrificed her for the greater good, she remains the one woman I ever truly loved and her sacrifice weighs greatly upon me. Let us not discuss her any further.Valeria Richards, whom I named after the above in her honour, may be the offspring of Reed Richards, but she is one of the few people I genuinely treasure andto harm her in my presence would be severerly unwise.My adopted son Kristoff also has a place in Doom's heart.Boris Karela, a friend of my parents and a lifelong companion, is one of the privileged few to have my genuine trust and he is almost like a father to me, despite him clearly being my personal servant.Even Evil Has Standards: You have your pathetic system of morality, and Doom has his. Doom will react to things against his own, well-informed and perfect system of justice and right like any other would, were they as wise as Doom. The one thing I share with lower beings such as thatpsychotic clownandthe magnet manis our refusal to have any association with thatdespicable so-called \u00dcbermensch.The cartoon known asAvengers Assemblefeatured a storyline where Doom took possession of the Asgardian Destroyer, lost his mind, and went on a rampage in which several Latverian citizens were killed. This, I confess, was anunpleasantturn of events for me. Doom is Latveria'sruler,nota mindless murderer of its citizens.In one comic released after the September 11th attack, I appeared alongside several other so-called \"super villains\" to witness the aftermath. Though Doom did not aid in helping clear the rubble like Magneto, Doom...Doom was driven to tears.In \"Doomwar\" when I was on the verge of victory, T'Challa ruined my plans with a device that rendered all Wakandan vibranium inert and useless. I was horrified that he would resort to such extremes in order to thwart my plans.Doom has a personal revulsion for bigotry in all its forms. As a Romani, a noble race of mankind who have faced much prejudice at the hands ofignorant, repulsive and brutal individuals and organizationsthroughout history (which Doom himself has had the contemptible displeasure of encountering firsthand before my ascension to sovereignty), Doom understands the danger, and indeed disgrace, that this mindset poses to society. Doom... has seen many an innocent die by virtue of being born of a different ethnicity or creed to those around them. I would never allow such things in my utopia.Everyone Went to School Together: Doom attended the same university as Reed Richards and Ben Grimm, both of whom would become members of theFantastic Four.Evil Brit: Doom is not evil, nor am I British! Nonetheless, the 90s Fantastic Four cartoon depicted me as having a British accent.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:How many times must Doom say that I not evil!But I digress. I made a deal with Reed Richards to save his wife Susan and her daughter, in exchange for naming her. I wanted nothing else in return, the mere fact that Reed has to spend the rest of his life knowing that he needed my help would eat away at the arrogant fool for-WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WASN'T BOTHERED?!Evil Is Hammy:Youdaresay Doom is overacting?!Evil Is Petty: Some lower minds think of me as this simply because I want nothing more than to prove that my intellect towers over that of Richards. What point is there in godhood if not to further your own noble cause?Evil Overlord: Doom is overlord of Latveria, and will someday be overlord of all the Earth. And fools will call him evil, then as now.Evil Plan: Doom hasbrilliantschemes to rescue his mother and conquer Earth, but time and time again they are foiled by some costumed buffoon. Far too oftenthatcostumed buffoon... Richards.Evil Versus Evil: Doom must often forcefully correct certain criminals, lunatics, and presumptuous 'cosmic' beings. These have included theRed Skull, the underwater warlord Krang, the demented Onslaught, and self-styled 'higher beings' such as the Over-Mind and the Celestials.The Evils of Free Will: Of course! It is Doom's destiny to eradicate the chaotic foolishness of mankind andcreate a perfectly ordered worldunder my iron-fisted yet benevolent rule!Exact Words: Doom always keeps his promises. It is no fault of MINE if lesser men fail to pay attention to my phrasing!Fake Defector: Sadly, some within Latveria fail to see the glory of Doom's rule. Thus, Doom has been forced to use agents such as Laszlo Chaloupek, who would pretend to be a \"resistance fighter\" and discover other people against Doom. A favorite tactic would be Laszlo setting a \"trap\" for Doom that would actually turn out to be on a resistance leader. However, during a time when Doom was...not quite himself, I exposed Chaloupek to his \"allies\" and then had him executed. A pity to ruin such a plan but Doom may chalk it up to the circumstances.A Father to His Men: It is a tyrant's duty to love his subjects as a father would love his children and, so long as they are loyal and obedient, be willing to lay down his life to protect them. For them I would even gladly forgo my vengeance against that accursed Richards, if only momentarily.Of course every Latverian is literate, healthy, educated, and financially secure! How can Doom be worthy of a tyrant's throne, much less build a nation fit to rule all mankind, if he cannot even look after thebasicwelfare of his people?The Faceless: Doom had a long habit of remaining masked whenever possible, andhappening not to face the readerswhen he was forced to unmask. In the recent events known to you asSecret Wars (2015),Doom abandoned this policy - for the time being.The Fettered: Again and again, Doom has been forced to choose between his final and total victory and his principles. Doom has chosen to remain true to his own principles.Fiction 500: Some observers might feel that even for a dictator, my resources seem unrealistically limitless, and that Latveria's economy should have plummeted from all that I spend on my numerous ventures. But considering the use of this trope by others such as Tony Stark, Charles Xavier, and the Red Skull, Doom feels it's hardly unreasonable.\"Freaky Friday\" Flip: Doom devised a plan (the exact details of which areunimportant) to kill the Fantastic Four by switching bodies withDaredevil. In hindsight, Doom will not deny this was not the most... elegant of my plans, trading my armor and vast resources for the body of a man whom I easily subdued on my own, and then putting him in a position where he could have easily killed me in turn. Fortunately (if unsurprisingly) his clutch on theIdiot Ballwas far firmer than Doom's.Doom has since dominated this power spiritually, taught to him by the Ovoids, and managed to avoid beingKilled Off for Realby requiring a noble sacrifice of a local man.Friendly Enemy: Depending on the circumstances, Richards and I are this. We aremortal enemiesbut that doesn't mean we have to be at each other's throats every single time we meet.I am also this withBlack Panther. We are both heads of state and when we are not fighting we act with the manners and dignity apprioate for our station.From Nobody to Nightmare:Nobody?!You dare use such a term to describe the great Doom? Still, it cannot be denied that Doom's early years were indeed humble and spent among simple Romani. Had that cruel Baron not targeted Doom's father, perhaps I never would have evolved into the God I am.Future Badass: A version of Doom in a distant future fought bythe elderly God of Thunder. Doom had successfully gained the combinedthe Spirit of Vengance,Iron Fist,sorcerer supremeand Starbrand. This power made Doom more than a match for Thor and that plebianWolverinedespite him possess the Phoenix Force. I would have triumphed if Wolverine didn't give the Phoenix Force to Thor, after that he and battled one another for99 yearsbefore he finally slew me.Future Me Scares Me: Doomfearsnothing, of course, but in various encounters with my future selves I have found them lacking. They shall not come to be.As a specific example,Tony Starkand I were once trapped in the distant future of 2093, I met a version of myself who was very much worse for wear after having lived so long. I was so disgusted with him that I killed him myself without hesitation and didn't think twice about it.However in one incident, Doom learned he is fated to travel to medieval Europe, where I shall establish myself as the Baron of Iron, producing anachronistic technologies with ease. Doom was suitably impressed by my future-self's resourcefulness.Gadgeteer Genius: Long before that libertine layabout Stark constructed his armor, Doom did fashion his own in a cave, fromlessthan scraps, along with a fully functioning nuclear-powered jetpack. Doom's is the superior mind, as are his creations!Gainax Ending: The \"What If Doctor Doom Became a Hero?\" Elseworld ends with the vile Mephisto, annoyed with Doom successfully rescuing my mother's soul much earlier than in the normal canon,forcing me into aSadistic Choicebetween him taking the soul of my lover, or the entirety of Latveria's populace. Doom reluctantly chose the former because I could not let the vast good I had done for the world be erased, and vowed to rescue my lover from Mephisto. The story ended at this moment, but there can be no doubt that in the end Doom was successful.Genuine Human Hide: In Doom's darkest hour, I made a pact with a cabal of demons to give me unlimited magical power, at the cost of my dear Valeria's life and soul, crafting a new suit out of the woman's flesh.Go-Karting with Bowser: During one of our many battles, Richards and I managed to finish our last, unfinished chess game, which we hadmemorizedsince college.A God Am I:Even when he is not empowered, Doom's pride sets him above gods \u2014 even they should show him the respect he deserves. Doom consequently seeks out greater beings of power and usurps their power.Doom:No one rivals Doom! There is no power on Earth, no intellect in all creation, to equal mine!When Doom is perceived as \"mistaken\" in his godhood, this is simply incorrect.Being a God is simply beneath Doom.God-Emperor:With the so-called\"Secret Wars\", Doom has once again gained god-like power and made hisownworld, Latverion. You may call it \"Battleworld\" if you so desire. Even more, Doom has rescued virtually everyone who had perished by the Incursions, something the \"greatest\" minds failed to do. Even Richards had to admit the success.Grandfather Clause: Doom has heard the argument that his iconic armor should be updated due to the belief that its medieval asthetic makes it rather antiquated, especially when those fools have the audacity to compare Doom toStark. Bah! Doom has no interest heeding the advice of lesser beings, and is honestly comfortable with this armor, asthe Masterhas depicted me in it since my debut.Grand Theft Me: One of Doom's many abilities, which I learned from aliens and have used to escape death and imprisonment on occasion. Richards speculates the reason I do not use this more often is because of my vanity. He would be mistaken, as is always the case when he attempts to contemplate the mind of Doom.The Grinch:What?NO!Doom loves Christmas as much as the next person. When mytraps accidentally caught Santa ClausI made amends by delivering presents.Happiness Is Mandatory: Thanks to Doom's benevolent rule, there is no suffering or want in Latveria. Doom takes a personal interest in the happiness ofevery oneof his loyal subjects.Doom(to a servant): But, why so glum, my loyal one? You know thepenaltyfor looking discontented!Servant(quickly assumes a big, albeit slightly sickly-looking smile): Y-Yes, Excellency!Hard Work Hardly Works: I devote much of my life to the study of sorcery and find Dr. Strange, who only studied for a few months, far surpass...very nearly equalsme! As you might expect, I did not take this information well.Heel\u2013Face Turn: As hard as it may be to believe for most of you who have witnessed Doom's ventures over the years, yes, I am walking a road to redemption, after the apotheosis of being God Emperor to the remnants of the Multiverse became a folly. But I know no one would believe if I sauntered about doing good deeds in my very recognizable armor, so I chose to carry on Tony Stark's legacy while he was rendered comatose as Iron Man. And while I can see plenty of you have received my newest venture well, I still cannot fathom why you insist on this \"Infamous\" epithet.Hell-Bent for Leather: In the sequel film from 2005, Julian's version of Doom wears a long black trenchcoat before donning garb similar to what appears in the comics.Hell Has New Management: When Doom was dragged down to Hell,Richardswas desperate to revive me before I became its new lord. He insults Doom's competence by saying it would takeweeksfor Doom to do so!Herr Doktor: Much likeDoctor Octopus, Doom was given a Germanic accent inSpider-Man: The Animated Series. (Still, in the same continuity, Doom was not only also able to harness enough power to repair his own face and return it to its original, handsome appearance, but finally outdo Richards by curing Ben Grimm... No regrets.)Zero context.* Heroic Sacrifice: In Marvel 2099.Heterosexual Life-Partners:Boris, an old friend of Doom's parents and nowmy most loyal servant, is one of the handful of people to have earned Doom's genuine trust.When I was summoned by Ruby Heart to save the universeso I could conquer it myself, I made quick friends with Strider Hiryu - regardless of how far apart our views on justice are.Still, we were never seen fighting apart.Hijacked by Ganon: When my 'master', the Marquis of Death, seemingly deposed me and attempted to defeat the Fantastic Four himself, the fool did not realize that his new 'apprentice' was actually myself, having survived his pathetic attempts and prepared my vengeance. In the end, it was I who dealt the final blow to the ill-fated Marquis. He should have known that Doom would never truly call anyone else Master.Hoist by His Own Petard: I still rage over the time I stole theSilver Surfer's power and only lost due to Richards tricking me into running into the barrier Galactus set up to keep him from leaving Earth.In \"Doomwar\" I constructed a suit made of vibranium that thanks to magic allowed me to control any item with even a spec of Wakandan vibranium anywhere in the world. This was my downfall T'Challa used a device that thanks to my connection to all Vibranium to render it inert. My scheme was ruined and I was trapped in a suit of armor that was now useless.When stole the Power Cosmic from Galactus I was a Cosmic Cube to aid in the effort. I got careless and abondoned the cube, which allowed Richards to take it return the Power Cosmic to Galactus. Rest assured that Doom is not going to make a mistake like that again.I was once attacked by arobot replica of the Hulkfueled by cosmic energy. When I siphoned the energy, I took in a poison pill that damaged parts of my brain, unable to use my magic or armor. Regretfully I needed Reed and Valeria to preform the surgery to restor my intellect.How I lost inUnthinkable. I still had the strength to fight the Fantastic Four when the battle turned against me, but Richards started to spout nonsense about my so called inflated ego and said I owed my success thanks to gifts from others. I told him that Doom is in debt to no one, a mistake as the demons I cut the deal with only promised me power as long as I acknowledge my debt to them. I was thenDragged Off to Hell.Hologram: Doom's Hologram Projector can project images transmitted from a Doombot or other minion, allowing Doom to watch the pathetic squirming of his opponents from afar!Honor Before Reason: I will never destroy a weakened opponent (such tactics are beneath a mind such as mine) and I will always repay a debt to people who helped me, even heroes (I owedCaptain Americafor saving my life, so I saved his).Honorary Uncle: Richards' daughter and my god-daughter Valeria has christened me \"Uncle Doom\". Had it come from anyone else, Doom would destroy the insolent creature who dare slap such a foolish label on him! But Doom shall tolerate it fromher.Humongous Mecha: Doom once created one,The Doomsman, to destroy the Fantastic Four.Hypocritical Humor: In battleThe Mighty ThorI complained about how more of my property was being destroyed after I tossed Thor at my castle. Doom is aware of the irony that I was the one damaging it after I said that Thor would destroy no more of my property,I never said I wouldn't.I Gave My Word: Ialwayskeep my word. It is not my fault thatothers do not pay crucial attention to the exact words.I Lied: When I cut a deal with Namor inEmperor Doom. I told him if he aided in my plan to mind control the planet and ensure that even a few robot entities would bow to my will, he could rule the planet's oceans. It was all a trick, I was just biding time till I make him my slave as well.I Owe You My Life: Doom is not without gratitude to those who have managed eliminate a threat to Doom before he could. On one occasion, Doom was visiting the United States, and despite being personally protected byCaptain America, I came under attack, yet was saved bySpider-Man. I told the spider that I would repay his saving my life one day, and when he rejected my offer, I immediately repaid the debt bynotkilling him for his ingratitude.Idiot Ball: DOOM IS A FAILURE AT NOTHING!While Doom could have simply used the cosmic cube in Fantastic Four World's Greatest Comic Magazine to wish for all the power that Doom needed (perhaps even internalizing the Cube's might as lesser intellects like Thanos andRed Skullhad done), if was all part of his master plan to steal Galactus' cosmic might and inherit his hunger so that he could devour the undeserving planet that he sought at first to rule. It was all part of Doom's grand scheme.There was also that\"Freaky Friday\" Flipmentioned above.And that time I assumed my magic would be enough to defeat Galactus. Galactus has battled many magic based adversaries,the accured writer should have knownI would have known better.Ignored Epiphany: The so-called \"Truth Wave\" nearly made me believe that I was wrong about myself. Nearly.I Just Want to Be Loved: Fah! To lesser minds, Doom may seem to fit such a loathesome trope. Indeed, while it is true that one of the first things I tend to do when ascending to new heights is set myself with one fetching wench or another (Scarlet Witch inAvengers: The Children's Crusade, Morgan Le Fay inNew Avengers, and Susan Storm in...well, countlessAlternate Universesand adaptations), you are a fool if you believe Doom needs something as meaningless as \"love\".Immortality Seeker:\"As Doom will defeat all enemies, even age itself.\"I may be in a melancholy mood regarding it, though,Depending on the Writer, but I snap out of it soon enough.\"My years already feel like eons. I fear the eons themselves cannot be endured.\"Immortality Immorality: So determined am I to seek immortality that I would abduct Asgardians and dissect them to wrest its secrets from their still-living bodies.Inferiority Superiority Complex: LIES! No doubt spawned by that accursedRICHARDS!Doom isof coursesuperior,DEMONSTRATIVELY SO, and does NOT overcompensate!At the end ofSecret Wars (2015), I finally got over it and admitted that Richards was smarter than me. And then immediately tried to kill him for it. Then there really would be no one superior to Doom.Insanity Immunity: Whatliesare these? Insanity?! Doom'sinnate right to ruleis soself-evidentthat he needs neither technology nor sorcery to protect himself from any effort at mind control. Doom cannot be made to obey: that is the function of allotherbeings.Insufferable Genius: Doom's intellect is matched byno one, especially notRichards!In the Hood: To be frank, a hoodovera helmet does not help Doom's peripheral vision. Still, Doom has grown used to it.Intrinsic Vow: Doom's mighty Hypnoticon device can put hypnotic commands in the minds of others! If a command goes against the victim's morals they may foolishly dare to try to resist it and thwart Doom's will,BUT THEY WILL FAIL!Irisless Eye Mask Of Mystery: In all its forms, my mask constantly averts this trope. My mask has a heads-up display both within the lenses and surrounding them. Not only are my irises visible whenever I am roughly facing the viewer, but also some of the damaged tissue around my eyes, an allusion to the horrific accident with metaphysics that left my face badly disfigured.Irrational Hatred: Some claim Doom's vendetta against the cursedRichardsto be pointless. Those few foolish enough to mention this aloud have fallen by Doom's mighty hand.It's All About Me: The world functions as Doom says it does and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar or a fool.Jerkass: At times, malfunctioning Doombots or bruised egos of lesser beings may give the ill-informed an impression of this. For example, one oncecalled The Leader to gloat that Stark and Richards sent The Hulk into space, thus cheating him of the chance to finally defeat Banner. Doom is a virtuous man who just so happens to be opposed by fools with the audacity to call themselves heroes.Jet Pack: DOOM deploys either aJet Packor rocket boots, depending on his whim!Joker Immunity: In addition to the legal forms of immunity seen above underDiplomatic Impunity, there have been numerous instances where Doom has seemingly beenKilled Off for Realonly to return later. Once subject toLampshade Hanging, at a time when Doom was trapped in Hell: Richards knew it was only a matter of time before I ended up running the place, and plotted to transport me to a prison of his own making before I inevitably escaped on my own (which I did, of course; no prison can confound the might of Doom).Know When to Fold 'Em: Doom is no fool. To quote an old maxim, \"He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.\"Though even Doom can forget this when dealing with matters of the heart: following a fight with the Hulk, I refused at the time to admit that I had lost, even though the only thing keeping him from killing me was Valeria, as she reminded him of Betty Ross.Large Ham: Doom not only refers to himself in the third person, he can also speakIN CAPITALSwhen necessary. Doom can also speak withBOLD STYLIZED ITALICSwhen the situation warrants it. Which is to say, whenever Doom pleases to do so.TREMBLE IN FEAR BEFORE DOOM'STITANIC MONOLOGUES!Surprisingly averted inThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.Light Is Not Good: InAvengers: The Children's Crusade, Doom becomes the perfect white robed savior with holy powers after the life energy is transferred during an \"accident\" in the spell to restore mutantkind's powers. Of course,DOOM IS NOT EVIL!Love Makes You Crazy: This trope came irresistibly to mind when I found myself pausing to rescue my lover Valeria during a confrontation with the Hulk.And because I was thus distracted, the Hulk was able to grapple me and nearly crush mebefore Valeria, who reminded the brute of Betty Ross, convinced him to let me go.Mad Scientist: A greater one than that pitiful, prideful accursed Richards whom you impudent fools worship as the epitome of men of super-science!Make My Monster Grow: Doom assumed giant form in the originalSecret Warsand inAvengers: The Children's Crusade.Magic Knight: Doom is one of the few residents of the Marvel Universe who possesses the skill and genius required to employ sorcery and super-science, sometimes even in conjunction, while also wearing heavy armor and packing a punch in close-quarters combat as well. Let it never be said I am not a polymath.Meaningful Name: The name \"Victor\" means \"conqueror\" in Latin, which is quite appropos for the majesty that is Doom.ALL WILL KNOW THE GLORY OF VICTOR VON DOOM!!!!Marvel vs. Capcom: I have graced Capcom games as a fighter inMarvel Super HeroesandMarvel vs. Capcom 2. And now, I return at the third game. Sadly, neither the accursed team nor family of Richards have ever appeared in these games, denying Doom the opportunity to demonstrate his superiority in yet another arena. They had to askSuper Skrull, of all people, to represent them inMarvel vs. Capcom 3.HA!Admittedly, he does have the combined powers of the Four, so Doom shouldn't underestimate him.However Doom is greatly pleased thatStrangemade it toUltimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Defeating him in digital combat will be... most satisfying.Doom's greatestfriend indigital combatStrider Hiryuwill also be returning to the fray. Doom is most pleased!Meaningless Villain Victory: When I returned from Hell thanks to Thor's hammer flying through I fought with the Fantastic Four to take the weapon. I succeeded in reaching it, but to my shock I wasn't worthy to pick it up. Damn Odin and his worthless enchmants, he couldn't tell worthiness if it spit in his face!Minor Injury Overreaction: It is alleged in oneFantastic Fourcomic that the disfigurement that Doom received in trying to rescue his mother from Hell was actually a relatively minor scar, but he saw it as horribly devastating due to his vanity. Whattrulydamaged Doom's face was when he had his original suit of armor forged and impatiently decided to put thestill red-hot metal mask on. Bah! Lies and insolence! The reports of Doom's disfigurement werenot at allexaggerated; this is obviously a petty attempt at misinformation on Richards' part.Mirror Character:When he can put aside his irrationaljealousyof Doom, Richards and Ioccasionallyshow similarities. As the two most intelligent people on Earth (though Richards shall always come second to Doom's vastly superior intellect), we find it a relief to engage in a conversation without having to simplify our discourse to the plebeian depths at which the bulk of humanity operate.Doom's last confrontation withIron Manrevealed an interesting fact \u2014 our armors use the same (or almost identical) software. Stark is not the only one who can achieve such feats of technological innovation... though Doom will grant that Stark showed a certain primitive ingenuity in having done soin a cave, with a box of scraps.Black Panther, who shares Doom's twin burdens of rulership and brilliance, is worthy of Doom's time. We have no difficulty working together if the need arises.Mood Whiplash: Right afterthe Disney Company's pathetic excuse for a manly TV channelshowed Doom single-handedly outsmart and pummelEarth's Mightiest Heroes, as well as the Fantastic Four, they showed a moronicGag Dubstarring me,Spider-Man, and his so-called \"Amazing Friends\". I (or rather a Doombot) was Skrull-searching one second, groveling over triple rainbows the next. *sigh*Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Doom is definitely a nemesis, branded as a \"villain,\" and considered to be evil, although there are people who would debate such claims (and Doom cares little foryour opinion, which is of no consequence at all). However, I will concede that I have never completed an academic doctorate, but awarded myself the title once I took over Latveria. As the smartest man on the planet, of course, I deserve it.Moral Pragmatist: In theAlternate Timelineof Earth-1191, Doom had become older and unsound in mind and body\u2014byDoom'sstandards. I was still vastly superior to all other insignificant insects. Still, Doom chose to help the so-called \"heroes\" simply because it allowed him to stretch his still-impeccable intellect and retain mental lucidity for greater periods of time. It was made known no uncertain terms, however, that if he ever became healthy again, Doom would once again put the world in its proper place.Moral Sociopathy: Doom follows his own ethical code; he is not bound by the expectations of others.Morality Pet: While I wouldloatheto refer to my godchild, Valeria, as a \"pet\", she has something of a... calming effect on Doom.Mundane Solution: Once, Tony Stark used a special program to make the world forget he was also Iron Man. In a later confontation, Doom revealed he still remembered, causing Stark to demand to know what sort of mystical spell or incredibly advanced technology Doom used to retain this memory. His reaction was quite satisfying when Doom revealed how: I simply wrote it down on a piece of paper.My Greatest Failure: When attempting to activate a machine that would hopefully allow me to communicate with my dead mother, it instead exploded and horribly burnt my face. Doom quickly and accurately pinned the blame on Reed Richards, who undoubtedly had sabotaged Doom's machine through his spite and incompetence.Retconned so that the exploding machine just gave Doom a medium scar on his cheek, which he saw as a huge blemish. When he later had the mystic monks forge a suit of armor for him, he was too impatient to wait for the faceplate to cool before putting it on, and the red-hot metal against his face caused its disfigura-LIES!Where are you feeble-minded poltroons getting your information?! Is it Richards?! It is, isn't it!DAMN YOU, RICHAAAAAAAARDS!Retconned again to say that the machine functioned exactly as intended, and the demon Mephisto (who held his mother's soul) lashed out at Doom, causing the device's catastrophic malfunction. Doom could always feel the demon's claws on his face as was constantly plagued by taunting nightmares, and was eager/impatient to put on the armor because he had it enchanted to block those feel-WHERE ARE YOU TROPERS COMING UP WITH THESE?!A still rather fanciful, but more accurate account of events. But Doom was not so weak-willed as to succumb to impatience in a matter as great as that.Myopic Conqueror: Doom cannot waste his time with every little problem you lesser people suffer under his rule, so hold your tongues, less they be cut out.Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Yes, you would do well to flee at the mere mention of Doom's name. Unless you favor Doom's cause, of course.Narcissist: If you must use such a loaded term. Doom would say he merely has a healthy and realistic awareness of his own value.Never Live It Down: Squirrel Girl. Doom has defeated gods, conquered death and ruled the universe...and yet was once defeated bySQUIRREL GIRL. If only it could be blamed upon a Doombot!Never My Fault: Of course. 'Fault' implies wrongdoing, and Doom isneverwrong. If anything goes wrong, the cause can surely be traced back to the foolishness or jealousy of the accursed Richards.Never Recycle Your Schemes: Let lesser minds repeat themselves to accomplish their goals, Doom is more creative than that.My incarnation in the 90s Fantastic Four cartoon subverts this as both season finales of the show end with a plot revolving around him stealing the powers of theSilver Surfer. Doom will forgive the show forusing the same plot twicesince theyadmitted their first attempt was a butcheredadaptionof one of my magnificent successes. Let none say that Doom is without mercy!Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Doom is a dictator scientist that wears a suit ofPowered Armorand dabbles into the supernatural and has an army of robots. A storyline involvingThe Mighty Thorhad me create zombie cyborg Asgardians, and created a suit of armor from Asgardian magic that I modeled after the Destroyer, though it sadly proved a poor imitation and was destroyed by Thor. Doom thankfully had a teleportation device set up in case of that outcome.No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: Much likea certain caped bald man, Doom finds thatVictory Is Boringif it comes too easily. When I took over the world inEmperor DoomI quickly foundbeing the unopposed ruler of the world to be quite dull. When some of the Avengers managed to break free from my control and went to break my hold on the rest of the world I welcomed the rebellion, and eventually let them win to remove the monotony of being an administrator.Noble Demon:Doom is a man of his word, and keeps his promises,even to his enemies.Doom talking withSpider-Manafter the latter has...assistedDoom in dealing with an assassination attempt:Spidey:...'cause youarea tyrant, and I can't wait until I turn on my TV and see you trying to defend yourself in the Hague.Doom:It is well that I owe you a debt, for I would kill any other man who spoke those words to me.With so many taking advantage of Doom's sense of honor, is it surprising that I make few promises, or that Ivery carefully wordthose promises which I do make?No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: When Santa Claus was caught in one of my traps, I delivered presents in his stead. This meant delivering presents to the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, who assumed I was plotting something and assualted me. Luckily a small child saw the fight and asked what was going on, and I stopped the fight by saying the heroes were my helpers. We delivered the rest of the presents together.When Susan came to Valeria backI tried to reason with her while she hurled threats and insults(I was guilty of some of the things she accused me of but that is irrelevant). Even we are enemies I tried to avoid escalating the fight for Valeria's sake. Susan as it turns out was under the influence ofMaliceso tore my armor to pieces and would have killed me if Valeria weren't there to make Susanrealize what she was doing.No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine: I have been known to show mercy to my... guests.Not Even Bothering with the Accent: I am Romani, but adaptions often give me an American accent, and in one instancea British one.Not Quite Back to Normal: Julian's version of Doom got to thank Silver Surfer in the sequel for zapping him with his energy attack that healed me of my electric scars. But I still have my electric powers.Not Quite Dead: So Richards and his petty followers think Julian McMahon's version of Doom died after being \"supernovaed\" by that flaming buffoon Storm and frozen solid? The sequel proved otherwise.Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist:LIES!Doom's actions are for the good of the world and humanity! Susan and Richards speak nonsensewhen they say I capable of more and wasting my geniusonmaking Richards pay!Obviously Evil: While Doom is not a villain, I can see where the confusion arises - mysurnameis \"Doom\", after all.Odd Friendship: With Namor the Sub-Mariner, the King of Atlantis. In addition to being allies who both fight the Fantastic Four, we are both rulers of powerful nations, we both have similar attitudes to fools who we consider beneath us, and we both desire the same woman, Susan Storm.This is why I was so offended by Namor neglecting to ask invite me into his Illuminati when theSecret Wars (2015)incursions started to destroy the Multiverse.Omnicidal Maniac:I would never take part in such meaningless acts. But a version of me from a possible future did, afterLokiwiped out humanity and Thor brought humans back to life, the Doom from that future attempted to destroyy all life on earth under the concieted belief that normal humans had no place in the world anymore]]. Whatever the future holds, Iwill notbecomesuch a monster.Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Of course. Doom has taken part in part nearly every form of science you can think of, and many you could not.One-Winged Angel: Doom has assumed extra powerful forms for \"final\" confrontations more than once...Doom stole the Beyonder's power inSecret Wars, brieflybecoming a giant.During the \"Unthinkable\" storyline, Doom gained a new, mystical armor.Inthe \"Latverian Prometheus\" arc, Doom modifies and controlsthe Destroyerto battle Thor.An alternate future in \"Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine\" shows Doomgaining control ofEgo the Living Planet.In the \"Doomwar\" miniseries, Doom builds a larger, mystically-enhanced suit of armor out of Vibranium.In \"Avengers: The Children's Crusade\", Doom stole the Scarlet Witch's chaos powers, repairing Doom's face and gaining awhite cloak.In FF volume 2, aBad Futureshows Doomcombining with Kang the Conqueror and Annihilus to become Doom, the Annihilating Conqueror.The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Is Doom expected to just capitulate and let that blasted Richards be destroyed by some vastly inferior intellect who blunders upon an unearned victory? Only I, the glorious Doom, am worthy of destroying him.This extends to his son Franklin as well. DuringOnslaughtI would have stayed out but then I learned the mutant fiend kidnapped Franklin. None but Doom are permitted to abduct the son of my greatest enemy!O.O.C. Is Serious Business: An incident involving that musclebound \"Hero for Hire\" Luke Cage, who saw fit to lay hands upon Doom over a mere two hundred American dollars ended with Doom not only...thankingCage for rendering some small assistance with another matter, but also bemused Doom enough to laugh.Opening a Can of Clones: Doom's time is precious, so he sends out Doombots to do his bidding. Because of the superior Latverian handiwork that goes into their construction, many foolish heroes think that when they defeat a Doombot it is actually Doom they've beaten.Preposterous!Doomneverloses! ... unless, of course, Doom wishes it.Orbiting Particle Shield: TheMarvel vs. Capcomseries ofFighting Gamesportrayed Doom's magnificentMolecular ShieldSpecial Attack, in which I levitate rocks and cause them to surround me as a defensive barrier, beforeflinging themat my foolish opponent.Papa Wolf: Doom was vital in helping Susan Storm give birth to her and Richards's daughter, the condition being that I be able to name her. Doom christened her Valeria, and announced that anyone who tried to hurt her would have to answer to him. Nobody dares. I am like this to my adoptive son too.By extension I am this for my people as a whole. As Latveria's esteemed ruler, I take my job seriously and am ever vigilant of any danger that threatens my dear subjects. Very few are foolish enough to threaten my people when I am there to challenge them.The Paranoiac:Do not question Doom! Do not gaze upon the face of Doom! Do not dare to slander Doom out of your petty jealousy! Doom is superior!Pet the Dog:Master artistJack Kirby(the only artist, alongside his esteemed successorJohn Byrne, Doom deemed worthy to paint his royal portrait) once painted a poster depicting Captain America, Spider-Man and Thor giving toys to impoverished children. However, it has surfaced that the original sketch for the poster depicted Doom himself, dispensing toys alongside the others. Why do you seem surprised? Doom is, above all, a kind and generous man of the people and I will carve out the tongue of any who say otherwise.As a show of Doom's benevolence, I once raised the young Cassandra Lang from the dead. As to why Doom had not done so sooner, that is Doom's concern.When the Inhuman royal family were cast out from their people, seeking a place to call home on Earth, they were rejected by all the nations of Earth... save, of course, Latveria, whose borders are open to all peoples. Doom personally appeared at the United Nations to tell all the world of this.Valeria once came to live with me and Susan asked for her to return. Valeria refused and thanks to the influce ofMalice, Susan tried to take her back by force after Valeria provoked her. I tried to reason with Susan, for Valeria's sake I didn't want to start a fight with her mother. Since she was under the influence of her darker side,Susan responded to my attempts at reasion with violence and ripped my armor to pieces.Physical God:Doom has been a god, creating an entire universe via an Infinity Gauntlet, recovered from a deceased counterpart of Richards. However, I soon found being a god...beneathme.InSecret Wars (2015), Doom has become a God again, to save the shattered fragments ofThe Multiverse. Serving in this capacity for eight years, Doom must admit to a degree of doubt and uncertainty.In one possible future I aquirred the the powers ofIron Fist,Ghost Rider, theSorcerer Supremeand theStar Brand.Playing with Syringes: Doom once attempted to wrest the secrets of immortality from the gods of Asgard themselves through vivisection. Even \"gods\" fear Doom!Polite Villains, Rude Heroes:As vile as Richards is won't deny that there are some moments where he shows me more manners than I show him in return, though sometimes this trope is inverted and Doom is polite while the so called heroes are rude to me.Politically Correct Villain: Call me a villain if you will, but Doom doesn't hold to dated prejudices. When I ruled the world inEmperor Doomone of my first acts was to put an end to South Africa's apallinginstitutionalized racism.Politically Incorrect Villain:You will not speak such lies about Doom!There have been...Unfortunate events in the pastwhere witnesses relate racist and sexist sentiments...These vile words were spoken by malfunctioning Doombots.Much like anyone of Roma ancestry, I would never tolerate such attitudes. Leave those things to thatred-headed psychopath.There was one instance where a younger Doom used phrenology to insult that oaf Grimm based on nothing more than his heritage. Bah! Doom needs not outdated quackery to point out the shortcomings of his inferiors.For reasons Doom shall keep to himself, during his time as God-Emperor of Battleworld, mutants were outcasts.Popularity Power: Doom can entirely understand the desire of the masses to adore him, but sometimes Doom's fans (a term which at times mayinclude the writers) give Doom credit or capacities which he lacks. Astounding as that may be. As an example, Doom was once shown defeatingGhost Riderwith a single punch - when such mundane attacks are normally meaningless to a spirit.Power Fantasy: InDark Reign, right after the first meeting of The Cabal, I imagine, nay,predicthow I will inevitably kill or enslave all my new allies in the near future. That fool Osborn was not fit to rule.Power Parasite:One of Doom's earliest and greatest of accomplishments was to take the Power Cosmic from the Silver Surfer via technology of Doom's own devising. Had it not been for trickery from Susan Storm, who knows what wonders Doom would have accomplished with it?Doomonce held the power of the Beyonder in his hands. Indeed, I wrested it from his grasp with my single remaining hand, after being dismembered in my courageous, one-man assault against the entity. Sadly, Doom was forced to relinquish the power in order to prevent the destruction of the universe due to the incompetence of my servant Klaw and the imbecilic interference of Captain America.And again with the Beyonders. Doom took their power after slaying all of them, and with it became a being beyond godhood.Powered Armor: The paltry conventional technology toys ofStarkare no match for my battlesuit and its full array ofMagitekcapabilities. On one occasion, Stark has managed to resist long enough for his pathetic reactor to run out of power.Indeed, while the armor was one of Doom's first inventions (aside from Stark's, it's arguably the most famous example of this trope), it has been upgraded and improved several times over the years; no matter how powerful technology is, it canalwaysbe better. Doom also has other versions, including armor for underwater and outer space combat.Pride: Doom is fully justified in viewing himself as insuperable!... but I admit that some unfortunate setbacks have occurred as a result of letting that awareness get in the way of more immediate concerns.Pyrrhic Victory: Regarding Doom's mother's soul. He saved her from Mephisto's grip, but when she saw what kind of man I had become, she called Doom out for it and departed for heaven without any chance to reconcile over it. Even Stephen Strange felt pity for the sight it despite me coercing him into helping me, butDoom would none of his pity.Rage Against the Author: Doom quickly learnt of the activities of Masters Lee and Kirby, and naturally, Doom had to correct them when they foolishly made an error in their presentation of Doom, travelling to their workplace to do so.Ragnar\u00f6k Proofing: Naturally, Doom's superior designs are built to withstand the ravages of time. In at least one potential future, the last of my Doombots endured beyond my own passing, hundreds of years into the future.Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: I wholeheartedly agree. I once rescued Sue Storm from this fate at the hands of a vile duplicate of myself from another world.In some decadent American comics, Doom is depicted as abusing his royal station tolegally take advantageof the young women of Latveria against their will, and in such comics this is appropriately portrayed as an especially vile act of villainy. However, such prurient nonsense is naturally the mere product of anti-Latverian imperialist propaganda, with no foundation whatever in truth.DOOMwould never stoop so low.Rasputinian Death: The Marquis of Death burned Doom, delivered a seriousMind Screwto break his will, turned his blood into acid and his heart to stone, and sent him back in time, right into the jaws of a giant, prehistoric shark. Doom survived. I have suffered worse.Reed Richards Is Useless: HowDAREyou associate this trope with Doom?!?... The Invisible Woman once dared to question Doom, andsaid that there are far better things that Doom could be doing than trying to kill Reed Richards.Stormmade a similar argument when I wasselflesslyhelping her friend Shadowcat. Inexplicable.Doom feels that there cannot be a greater purpose than putting Richards in his place!Very well. Doom concedes that hecouldbe more proactive in trying to stop theinexplicably perpetualthreats to humanity, the Earth, the timeline or the very integrity of space-time. Yet it never occurs to these self-deluded 'heroes' thatDoom suffers the existence of so many interfering altruists precisely so that they will deal with such situations, so that Doom's time can be more profitably spent.I pointed out to Tony Stark that if he truly wished to help the infirm children at the hospital he was visiting, he would do better to simply find cures for their ailments. He should have some perspective. He's a scientist. Granted, a mere roboticist, but he himself demonstrated that the products of his talents have medical applications.Doom must concede that Richards does notinvariablyfall into this trope. His intellect and determination were useful resources in the cosmic reconstruction you belittle with the title \"Secret Wars.\"Before moving on, Doom must admit that your workaday minds have given this trope a name that pleases Doom. Considering your mental limitations, you show laudable perception.Such as naming one of the opposite tropesafter that bald businessmaninstead of Doom.Related in the Adaptation: MyUltimate Marvelcounterpart, Victor van Damme, is a descendent ofVlad the Impaler. Additionally, Vlad's brother in this universe wasMorbius, making him a distant relative of mine.Repressive, but Efficient: Latveria prospers under my iron-fisted but benevolent rule.The Rival: Richards deludes himself into thinking that he is at my level!Iron Man,Black Panther, and Magneto have similar misconceptions. Nothing but envy and wishful thinking!Romani: Doom is of the Roma people. Persecution of Doom's kinsmen was one of the key forces in shaping Doom's destiny.Robot Master: The Doombots may be the most elaborate and complex robotic creations of Doom, but I have made others over the years, including entire robotic armies. Far more reliable and easier to replace than human soldiers (who are often craven cowards when facing enemies of the superhuman variety). Doom has also made robotic duplicates of others, including a super-strong android in the shape of Ben Grimm. (Thisone followed Doom's commands.)Royals Who Actually Do Something: Indeed. Royals who do nothing are not facing their responsibilities! King Vladimir Fortunov was such a fool... Killing him in order to seize the throne of Latveria was not only a simple deed but a benevolent one that has given security, comfort and a new sense of significance to every living Latverian.Rule of Three: For almost as long as I can remember, three goals have defined Doom's career: One, utterly defeat my rival Reed Richards; two, conquer the entire world; and three, rescue my mother's soul from Mephisto. (Doom has completed the third goal after gaining aid in the mystic arts fromDoctor Strange. Vengeance against Mephisto is still pending - the demon is... problematic.)Ruritania: Doom has inverted this trope! Though its ancient and proud culture shares links with this fictional land, Latveria benefits from the custodianship of Earth's mightiest intellect. Its citizens prosper.Scars are Forever: They're not.I could heal the scars on my face if I wanted to, but I keep them as a reminder of my vendetta against Richards. Also applies inMarvel 2099, in which my face initially healed (done to build a mystery as to whether or not I'm the real Doomof course I am, and my face being healed is later explained) before being marred again by Tyger Wyld, and I again turn down the option of repairing the damage again to remind myself of what he did to me.As ofSecret Wars (2015), that is no longer the case.Screw the Rules, I Make Them!:The Law of Latveria is Doom.Second Place Is for Winners: InTriumph and Tormentafter entering a contest against Doctor Strange for the title of Sorcerrer Surpeme. Strange emerged the victor, but I was the real winner since the first place winner owed a boon to the second. Strange was against the idea until Doom told him I merely wanted his services to rescue my mother's soul from Mephisto.Secondary Color Nemesis: Doom wears a deep green cloak and hood, in contrast with the ridiculous blue bodysuits of RICHAAAARDS and his damnable household.Serious Business: It is Doom's desire for all the children of Latveria to receive a Good Night's Sleep. And Doom's will is law.Shoot the Shaggy Dog: After she finallybrought her father back and got reunited with her former lover, Doomkilled Cassandra Lang, Kristoff Vernard's former best friend.Skyward Scream:RICHAAAAARDS!!!AndBAAANNNNERR!Slouch of Villainy: The image on the top of this page is just one such example of Doom engaging in this. There have beenmanyothers throughout the years.Soft-Spoken Sadist: InFantastic Four (2005)andFantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Doom prefers to keep his voice in a calmer mood except when I yelled at Richards for not wanting to understand the problem.The Extremist Was Right: DuringThe Avengers (Jonathan Hickman)andSecret Wars (2015)Doom's actions ofdestroying entire universeswas actually meant to prevent atotal reality collapseand he succeeded by taking it to a \"mere\"Class X-5and creating a Battleworld where he rules the survivors as a God Emperor.The Starscream: ToOsbornduringDark Reign. Doom is subordinate to no one!Doom himself had employed a certainDoktor Hauptmannwho bore a grudge against Doom for...inadvertentlykilling his brother.There was also Dr. Bram Velsing, a Latverian scientist I employed many years ago, with the nerve to refer to me as \"a grotesque mockery\" and plot to usurp my throne. I spared his life, but he paid for his insult dearly; I had an iron mask much like my own permanently grafted to his face to conceal his good looks forever. He later became known as the Dreadknight, and spent most of his time opposing Iron Man. (Although, his desire to rule Latveria was never slaked, apparently; I've learned that when Doom was... absent due to the crisis with Onslaught, he attempted to take over, but he and his loyalists were foiled bySpider-ManandSilver Sable.)Stupid Evil:STUPID?!There is nothing stupid about how I refuse to kill Richards when I have the chance, even if it means he and the Fantastic Four get the chance to thwart my plans.I did nothing wrong when I tried to steal the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos and ruined the effort to get off his hand.It's the so called heroes fault for getting in my way!Superhero Packing Heat: While Doom wields powers both vast and manifold, I do carry a regular gun, for dispatching nuisances not worthy of my full attention.Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Doom prefers to let the so-called heroes justify their existence by dealing with most threats to the world, which is probably why in many aBad FutureI am depicted as being deceased. Hm...Bah, they were lesser Dooms! I would have survived. The real Superman? Bah. He threatened me at my embassy but diplomatic immunity is better than any Kryptonite.Surrounded by Idiots: It is inevitable, when my intelligence eclipses that of everyone around me.During the event known asAXIS, Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch attempted to defeat the villainde jourby casting Order and Chaos magic together to form an Inversion spell. Ofcoursethe so-called \"Sorcerer Supreme\" got attacked and distracted before the spell could be completed, and I was forced to step in and finish it by taking his place.Steven Ulysses Perhero: I am calledVictor Von Doom. It has been said in jest that I never had a chance of journeying down a different path in life due this. Foolishness; Doom could easily alter history to make it so if he wished. But why should Doom wish to be less magnificent?According to Benjamin Grimm, the film version of me changed his name to Doom in order to intimidate people. We do not speak of this, either.Take Our Word for It:Marvel has wisely decided to never show my face in the comics. However, manyhorrified reactionsare shown.Finally averted duringSecret Wars (2015). The horror of Doom's scarred visage have been shown in a tender moment between Susan Storm and myself. Though, considering Doom's godlike power at this point in time, such an appearance could easily be merely a highly-convincing illusion made for some yet-unrevealed greater purpose unfathomable to lesser minds... which would be all minds other than Doom's own, of course.Take Over the World: I will, in time. I have in fact succeeded at least twice. To say nothing of the time I essentially took over theuniverseduringSecret Wars (1984).Taught by Experience: Fools will learn to their sorrow that Doom learns from his mistakes. For instance, Stark was such a fool to think he could trespass into my castle with stealth armor making him invisible, not realizing that I have long equipped my security systems to detect such intruders such as Susan Richards with her invisibility powers.Tautological Templar: Doom is always right.ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!Teen Genius: While Doom has always been a genius, it was in my youth that the people of Latveria began to learn thetruescope of Doom's genius, as I developed freeze grenades, the means to render simple woods and textiles immune to bombardment, and most importantly, convincing simulacrums of human life, all self-taught while travelling in rural Latervia in a Romani caravan.Tempting Fate: And why not? Fate is for lesser men. Yet Doom is aware of his own greatness and it sometimes leads him to... minor miscalculations. Doom once held that brute the Hulk in a field of force whichnothingin the cosmos could possibly penetrate. Once I stated this to his face, the oaf tore it asunder readily.Theory of Narrative Causality: Doom ascribes to this theory. Doom's life is the story of Doom, and if one day Doom's story should end? Then it shall be because Doom wishes it to end.There Was a Door: Bah! Doors are forpeasants, not the most intelligent being on the planet... nay, the universe!Thinking Out Loud: Of course! How else could the recording device in Doom's armor capture the fullness of Doom's greatness for posterity?Third-Person Person: Doom does have a habit of indulging in this. But firstly, as ruler of a sovereign country, in addition to the other aspects of Doom's greatness, it is completely justified. And secondly: Be honest with yourself, mortal. Were you fortunate enough to bear the name 'von Doom', would you not take every opportunity to mention it?I have since ceased with this particular habit. My reasons are my own.Time Travel: Do you still doubt Doom's superior intellect? Doom was the first Earthling to invent a working device that could accomplish this scientific miracle!Tin Tyrant: The alliteration is pleasing, but inaccurate! While Doom does indeed encase himself within armor, and Doom is indeed the ultimate master of Latveria, and the world, it is an insult to Doom and all that Doom stands for to call Doom a Tyrant, and Doom is much too intelligent to forge his raiment out of anything so crude and flimsy as tin.To Hell and Back: One of Doom's great victories was the rescue of his mother's soul from Mephisto's realm. Where is she now? Doom... sees no need to tell you.To Be Lawful or Good: It amuses Doom to watch Richards squirm in the fetters of international law in regards to Doom'sDiplomatic Impunity.Tomato in the Mirror: In theMarvel 2099, though ultimately subverted. It's implied initially that I might not be the real Doom, given I don't recall how I ended up in the future and my face was healed when I first appearedbut that was later explained that I am really Doom, and what happened with my memories was a trick to mess with me.Took a Level in Kindness: I concede that trying to maintain an entire world in the role of God Emperor has softened Doom's demeanor. However, don't believe for a moment that Doom has lost any of his prowess for this change. When it became apparent that Jonothan Storm was going to oppose me, he was made to be the Sun for my world.Doom has chosen to be merciful time and time again, but I confess to have become much more... relaxed and at ease afterthe Secret Wars of 2015 where Reed Richards healed my face and taking a leave of absence.Notw how I went to speak to Stark in a business suit and even eating a snack in potato chips while letting Stark vent out his frustrations.24-Hour Armor: Doom's armor naturally includes built-in systems which sustain my vital functions, thus I am almost never seen without it.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:I once did battle withthat fool, Vader.Once again, I have proven superior to those that oppose me!Years later they would have me clash withthat corporate scum Luthor.He, like the gods themselves, was beneath Doom as well.Underestimating Badassery: After I killed his daughter,Scott Langcame after me for revenge. After he crippled my defenses with a sneak attack he challenged me to fight hand to hand. Doom thought it would be an easy victory, but Scott learned to use Pym Particles to enhance his strength and tore my armor to pieces.Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway: I once built my own versio of the Asgardian Destroyer, as noted above. Thor and the vengful Asgardians attacked my castle before it was finished so I used against him early, though it was still perfectly functional.Since it wasn't finished it ran out of powerand Thor smashed into scrap.Unreliable Narrator:In theBooks of Doomstory, due to it being one of my many Doombots. For some reason, I myself have been accused of being this. None of the accusers ever do so a second time.Unwilling Roboticization: So great anEmperor Scientistis Doom that I once created an army of cyborgs from captured Asgardians.The Usurper:Somewould have you believe that Doom replaced certain members of the royal family and had others killed in order to take the throne from the Duchy it was under. This is of courseabsurd.Utopia Justifies the Means: It is a blatant falsehood spurned on by the ignorance of his enemies that Doom wishes for the world out of petty selfish ambition. Doom has a moral imperative toTake Over the World; who else but Doom can solve all of humanity's self-made problems? War, famine, pestilence, ineptly executed film sequels - these will all be things of the past, once Doom is recognized as the sole sovereign ruler who alone has the wisdom to create such a paradise.InDoomwar, thePanther Godrecognizes that Doom's cause in this is just.Was there ever any doubt?Victory Is Boring: At least twice has Doom suffered this, both in theEmperor Doomgraphic novel with the Purple Man, where Doom finds that ruling the entire world involves too much paperwork; and upon seizing control of the false Earth created by Nathaniel Richards (by using Doom's unmatched willpower to override the world-computer at its heart) Doom willingly returned to ruling his native Latveria after conquering an entire planet.Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Again, the plebeian crowd raises its dimwitted cry of 'villain'... Regardless, in the event that a story makes it clear that is truly me in it and notActually a Doombot, be sure that I have an escape plan ready if events do not transpire exactly as originally envisioned.Villain Opening Scene: The buildup to the arc leading into the500th issueis a single issue dedicated to Doom.Villainous Rescue: I will indulge your inferior intellects by recounting instances when my actions might fall under this trope - with the understanding that the term 'villainous' is merely a label lesser minds use when Doom's ethics confound their pitiful understanding!When Shadowcat, a member of theX-Men, was very grievously injured and on the verge of death after a battle with the villainous Marauders, the X-Men foolishly asked Reed Richards to heal her. When Richards displayed his utter incompetence in failing to do so, in my infinite kindness I used my own far superior talents to restore Shadowcat to life. Although Doom does not care whether such a meager being as Miss Pryde lives or dies, it was worthwhile simply to demonstrate Richards' chronic inferiority.On another occasion, an alternate universe Doom rescued a Fantastic Four formed ofGhost Rider, theHulk,WolverineandSpider-Manfrom being slain by their enemies. Again, Doom does not care whether these individuals live or die: the issue is thatDoom alonehasthe right to destroy the Fantastic Four. Whoever they may be.Villainous Valour: As noted above, Doom will depart when the odds aren't in my favor, but Doom is no coward: if flight is not an option, I will fight to my last breath against even the most powerful foe!Villains Out Shopping: Doom recognizes the importance of a work-leisure balance! As aMan of Wealth and TasteDoom is a student of the piano and skilled in painting. As for shopping itself, Doom leaves that to his miserable minions. (Well,mostof the time. There is a tailor in New York City who caters to the superhuman community; Doom has indeed patronized his business personally, and he should consider himself and his establishment lucky.)Villain Protagonist: Occasionally, Doom has been thrust into such a role, most notably dealing with that repellent Johann Schmidt aka TheRed Skull, such as his unfortunately short-lived feature in what you would call aComic Book, which in this case, bore the name of Astonishing Tales, and his grand exploits \u2014 which sadly, in all likelihood, few people have ever actually read \u2014 were published in the early1970s. Perhaps Doom could have taken on such a prominent role more often, if it weren't for that blasted... Reed Richards...RRRRRRICHAAAAARRRRRDDDSS!!!Villain Team-Up: Doom has made countless alliances with lesser intellects who thought themselves Doom's equal. Discrediting or destroying them is generally part of Doom's plan from the beginning - after all, they arevillains.Visionary Villain: Remember: your struggling only delays the day of Doom's worldwide utopia.* The Von Trope FamilyWanting Is Better Than Having: Occurs in theEmperor Doomgraphic novel, where I, Doom, conquered the world, only to relinquish itbackto the petty-minded jackanapes who would waste my valuable time with mundane details.We Can Rule Together:Doctor Doom:You and I are THE MIGHTIEST beings on this planet! I choose TO EXERT my power to impose my will upon the world. You choose not to! And yet, even THAT choice does indeed AFFECT the lives of every man, woman and child on earth, CONDEMNING them, in fact, to POVERTY, DISEASE, FAMINE... AND to the hideous suffering they inflict upon one another! You cannot escape it, Superman! YOU Dictate the fate of mankind... one way or the otherSuperman:I know! But what can I do? Seize power and try to remake the world into a utopia? That would put me in a class with men like Hitler \u2026 and you.Doctor Doom:You misjudge me, Superman. I am no raging Fuehrer, wringing hatred from misfit followers! My kingdom is a a place of peace and contentment! You must visit Latveria -you are always welcome!Well-Intentioned Extremist:I do not consider myself an \"extremist\",however... In another reality, when Doom has conquered Earth, Doom has rid the Earth of all hunger, disease, war, poverty and inequality, and united the world as one in peace and prosperity under Doom's rule. Were the fools in power able to see Doom's triumph therein, this happiness would be a reality acrossallrealities.Wham Episode: In the final pages of InvincibleIron Man#1,I was revealed to have survived theSecret Wars (2015). Readers shall be forgiven, this time, for not understanding the utter significance of this, as the finale of the Secret Wars was still pending when my survival was made evident. Also, the readers, and Iron Man, shall be forgiven for not recognizing Doom right away. It has been years since I appeared outside of my armor, my glorious visage restored as a parting gift from Richards.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Read this carefully, as I shall make this concession onlyonce.I have emerged triumphant from conflicts withPhysical Gods- yet I possess no method of defeatingSquirrel Girl, and my most viable tactic against her is an escape pod. Now...we shall never speak of this again!Doomnevershows fear of anything, as I havecountless contingency plansfor any foreseeable outcome, but on a far more understandable level, Doom concedes thatUltronis a force to be reckoned with andnotto be taken lightly;; in one instance, I went as far to say he is themost terrifying thing ever createdand with good reason. Such weapons of mass destruction would be far better served in Doom's hands, or at least adapted from my brilliant mind, as opposed to that hysterical failure Hank Pym. I doubt the \"heroes\" he works with have anything positive to say about him after he created that abomination.Wicked Cultured: Truly, Doom isa man ofwealth and taste.With Friends Like These...: Doom countsNamoramong the few beings worthy of the friendship of Doom. We find ourselves frequently allying with each other. Many of you find this strange since our team-ups often end with one of us betraying the other: but I did specify thefriendshipof Doom, not thetrustof Doom. Doom need not explain my tastes... especially if the writers are too lazy to explain them!Wolverine Publicity: Howdareyou compare Doom to thathirsute vulgarian! But yes, Doom has had a very long history of appearing in many, many Marvel Comics titles, bothFantastic Fourand otherwise. In fact, I have actuallyprecededsaidhirsute vulgarianby well over a decade! It has contributed to Doom's popularity among fans and writers.The Worf Effect: When I awoke inthe year 2099and tried to take back Latveria from one of those scum executives Alchemax, I was beaten. My suit was over a hundred years old, I couldn't win against the cutting edge technology of the future. Not without adapting it myself, which thanks to my new allies, I soon did.Worf Had the Flu: As much I as I loathe to admit it, I too suffered from the accursed Orthomyxovirus known as influenza before I could get a chance to face the one called Solarman before hedisappeared under mysterious circumstances.Worthy Opponent: Doom will not compliment his enemies! However, there are a handful whose skills are sufficiently dangerous that confronting them is not acompletewaste of Doom's time. For instance, in addition to Richards, there is also his wife, Susan, who nowadays has to be dealt with carefully consideringher formidable mastery of her powers' various applications.In an alternate future where mankind had been invaded by Martians, Doom cast the shield of Captain America into space, out of respect for his skills, as well as a desire to ensure such a weapon did not fall into the tendrils of such lesser beings.While things ended...in less than satisfactory circumstances,I must confess that Doctor Strange (Sorcerer Supreme) was instrumental in the rescue of my mother's soul and my bid to rid myself of that infernal demon Mephisto's tormenting influence. My sorcery isfarsuperior, of course, but Doom concedes that if any were worthy of the title, it is him.Doom is loathe to admit it, but Scott Lang was a far more formidable foe than I'd originally anticipated.Would Hurt a Child: Doom showed no hesitation in trying to murder the Hulk's young son, Skaar, and at the end ofAvengers: The Children's Crusade,Doom killed youngCassie Lang. On the other hand,doomshall fall on anyone who, while in the presence of Doom, attempts to harm one of Latveria's children (or Reed Richards' offspring.EspeciallyValeria).Xanatos Gambit: The concept of a plan that allows only varying degrees of success is so fundamental, so workaday that Doom would hardly call it worthy of so grand a name as 'the Doom Gambit'. Doom is reserving that term for something far more brilliant. Let this 'Xanatos' have his moment of fame!Yandere: In the sense of a true monarch, applying the trope to my entire population. Doom protects his people from all oppression and exploitation. Even from their own folly, should any misguided souls wish to leave Doom's loving care. And all Doom expects in return is their free and uncoerced love and gratitude.Doom(to a would-be Latverian defector): Have I not told you how I dearlylovemy subjects? Did you think I wouldallow a single onetoleavethis realm?You Fool!: I do call fools for what they are, especially that foolish Richards.Wait, what is this? Richards has notone, buttwotropes named in his honor?!Why has Doom not been bestowed this privilege?Do you fools mock Doom with this disgrace? Are you really so blind as to not see his greatness?You dare refuse Doom his rightful acknowledgment in favor of that fool?!DAMN YOU, RICHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!...upon further consideration,that first oneis a quite accurate and appropriate description of Richards. You Tropers are perhaps more insightful than I first supposed.This other trope, however...Doom will not tolerate any Richards, no matter how \"awesome\" you peons may think he is! On that note, since the trope also applies to Doom, and is already meant to be the opposite of the first one, Doom's name would be more fitting.After even further consideration, Doom sees all subtropes ofthis tropehave Doom's name on it. It seems you tropers aren't as disappointing as I thought.Ugh...ow... As I was saying... ulp.. Doctor Doom is aMarvel Comicspersonage of infinite and perfect majesty. All hail Doom!!THAT WILL BE ALL, NARRATOR."} {"text": "Heeere's Harley!(For full effect, read in the voice of your choice ofArleen Sorkin,Tara Strong,Hynden Walch,Jenny Slate,Kaley Cuoco,Melissa Rauch,Lady Gaga, orMargot Robbie.)OKAY, BOZOS, LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD, 'CUZ I AIN'T GONNA REPEAT MYSELF!!Ahem. Name's Harleen Quinzel.Call me Harley. Everyone does.Anywho, I wasMr. J's number one gal, right hand psychopathic bitch, andPerky Female MinionsinceThe '90s. I was brought in inBatman: The Animated Seriesin 1992 so he could have him a female minion. From there, I started appearing more and more until finallyI got into the comics themselves(Eeeee!). And I've been part of the DC menagerie ever since.Buuuuuut if you wanna get all the backstory stuff, fine. My real name is Harleen Frances Quinzel, fresh outta psychiatry school, I was transferred to Arkham Asylum. Once there, I was made the personal therapist to Mr. J. Best day of my life! Once we started talking, we realized there was a connection between us,and I dropped my dreams to be with the guy. No regrets!noteWell, mostly.Anyway, ever since, it's been me and Mr. J... okay, sometimes I go solo, but I ain't ever gonna leave my man for good. No matter HOW bad he treats me. Okay, so my relationship with Mr. J ain't all sunshine and lollipops, but hey, what relationship is? There've been times when Mr. J did stuff I wasn't exactly on the ball with... Aaaand there have been times where Mr. J's gotten physical with me... but he's my puddin' through and through, and we stick together like glue.'Course, my whole life don't revolve completely around Mr. J.. I gots a girlfriend (FRIEND WHO'S A GIRL... maybe a lil more than that... A girl's gotta eat!) inPoison Ivy. When I ain't hangin' around Mr. J, you can find me with Pam. We're pretty close, too.Anyway, since I been 'round the DC world so long, I've appeared in plenty of DC works too. I even got some big, important roles. Like the time Itried toavenge Mr. J's deathin a DLC forBatman: Arkham City. Orthe time I had to work with Batman, orthose two timesI was doin' hero duty with some other villains(andthat time I 'adopted' a diamond thief). So, yeah, as you can tell, soon enough, DC realized I can be more than just arm candy.Here's some tropes that apply to meActing for Two:invokedIn thatone cartoon,Tara Strongvoices both me and Batgirl! Since our civilian identities are besties, we talk to each other a lot!Adaptational Heroism: In the first version ofDC Super Hero Girls, I'm actually one of the good guys! Who'da thunk it? I was also one of the good guys working for Bats inInjustice 2, only becauseSupermanis causin' chaos in my town, our town, Gotham...just so he can rule it with an iron fist after killing Mr. J!Adaptational Skimpiness: Theusual spoilsportsmusta had a fit when they saw me prancing aroundArkham Asylum in that nurse's outfit. Well if you were trying ta impress your Puddin', you'd maybe try to get him to notice ya too! I musta liked it, since I ditched the old ensemble and started wearing stuff that showed off a lot more of me than I ever did.Affectionate Nickname:I gave one to Mr. J \u2014 he's myPuddin' and no one else's!Red happens to like it when I call her Red.Ascended Fangirl: How awesome was it that I actually got to work withWonder Womanherself! The real Wonder Woman!Too bad thatone version of mekinda learned what it meant aboutmeeting your heroes.Asshole Victim: Sure, a lot of guys I kill tend to becopsand the occasional super creep, but sometimes you just gotta do your civil duty and take on the filth of society. Ask Mr. J just how that worked out for him.Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: I'm one of the girlier villainesses out there, starting out as Mr. J'sPerky Female Minion. Once I ditched the harlequin suit, I started wearin' crop tops that show off my abs. Like what ya see?Batter Up!: Another of my weapons of choice. Anything that's good to do some damage, I'm game.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Psycho though I may be, I didn't go through all that college just to let my psychology degree go to waste! While we're on that subject, let mesit down with ya and discuss how often you've been visiting this site.Canon Immigrant: Can you believe some guy made me fora cartoon?Then it turns outthe people loved me, and they thought I'd be a perfect fit for Batsy's home turf! Ahh, Hollywood. Talk about a stroke of brilliance.* Cloudcuckoolander: You know it!Crusading Widow: No way I was lettin' Bats get away withletting Mr. J die!! Sure it was inone of Batbrain's games,but I missed him.Cute, but Cacophonic: WHAT WAS THAT?! ...Ahem. Well, sure,someof the girls who lend me their voicesdoplay me high an' loud thanks to dear Arleen's defining portrayal of myself, but call me that again and we'll see who's cacophonic!Defecting for Love: I quit bein' a goody two-shoes thanks to Mr. J.Does Not Like Spam: Yck! Donottry and feed me any fish!No! No no no no no!I'll puke my guts out from onebiteof that stuff!The Dog Bites Back: Now don't get me wrong, I've put up a lot with Mr. J, but that doesn't mean I ain't afraid to get rough when push comes to shove. Even he knows I got a mean right.Drop the Hammer: Like I said onNew 52, nothing says 'l'chaim' like a girl dressed in a stripper clown outfit wielding a hundred-pound mallet.Empowered Badass Normal: Not to toot my own horn, but Ididget into college on a gymnastics scholarship. Could have gone to the Olympics if I wanted. Anyway, Red gave me this mean shot ofSuper Serumthat made me even better! Stronger, more agile, and immune to most poisons on the planet.Even Evil Has Standards: Okay, maybe I don't have a problem with blowing up people, trashing property,using Smylex on some squirrels, oroccasionally speeding through downtown. But you so much as hurt one of those cute little critters, and I'll make you wish it was Batbrain whacking you!Expy: I was based on a gal namedCalliope Jones, who had a dream version that was dressed as a harlequin. Get it?Face\u2013Heel Turn: Mr. J convinced me to give up the psychiatry gig and be a villain.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: That's not to say I haven't given the hero thing a try or two. Bats' even beenletting me join in on his little crime-fighting family gatherings lately!Fluffy Tamer: Aww, how could anyonenotlove my babies? Bud and Lou are such good boys for me! I mean, they'll eat your face if they don't like ya, and they don't like most people, but still!Fountain of Expies: Wouldn't ya know it, I managed to inspire a bunch of imitators to capitalize on my gig! From asome flexible gal from a world where people can move rocks, water, fire, and tornadoesto asmaller version of my Suicide Squad version that's cyberized.Girlish Pigtails: I sometimes wear my hair like that to go with the cap. You like it?Handy Feet: Go ahead and chain me up if you want! I'll just use my toes to pick the lock and escape!Has a Type: Wait, you think Ivy's manipulating me too? ...Eh, I don't really care that much.Pretty sure that only applies to my original version anyway.Insistent Terminology: Look. Things with the Joker weren't great. I wised up eventually. So get it right; these days, I'm Mr. J'sex-girlfriend.Lady Swears-a-Lot: In my owncartoonandmovie, I sure love to curse. Did you know that Batbrain likes to #^%& bats?Large Ham: Well, you can't blame me for wanting to be the fun in the room! Wait, You did?BOOORING!Love Interest: I'm Mr. J's. Ain't he the bee's knees? And as it turns out, Red's got it for me too! Ain't life just romantic?Love Martyr: So what if Mr. J has abused me both verbally and physically, and tried to get me killed more than once? I'd still do anything for my Puddin'!Except when it gets so much that I wouldn't.Miniature Senior Citizens:Seems I become this in my old age inone movie. Ah well, least my grandkids inherited my gorgeous good looks.Ms. Fanservice: And you better believe it buster! Sure my classic outfit wasn't exactly an eye catcher, but did ya really think itwasn't gonna show anything?I mean, ya can't stop drooling over my new ensemble! Might as well show Mr. J what he's missing out on...cause he ain't getting any! And if ya know what's good for ya,you'd better not either!The Nicknamer: What? Ya saying just because I don't always call Mistah J, Red, or B-Man by their usual handles that I got a habit? So what? That's how you know I like ya.Even Batsy's okay sometimes.Obfuscating Stupidity:So my college days were a little hit or miss(my OG selfwas a gym scholar andmy self on young Batsy's showlearned through aCorrespondence Course), but Igotmy psychology degree! I just don't like to flaunt how smart I am all the time like some people.Perky Female Minion: I started out as one of these for Mr. J. I may be solo now, but that don't mean I had to give up bein' perky.Red and Black and Evil All Over: I'd like to see YOU rock a red and black harlequin outfit better than I can!Deadpool:CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.Steven Ulysses Perhero: No, seriously, with a name like Harleen Quinzel, it's a wonder the cops don't catch on when I decide to do some psych practice!Super Serum: So the first time I ever visited Ivy's hideout, she whipped up this nasty little booster shot to give me as much poison immunity as she's got so I wouldn't die from all the nasty mutant pollen or toxic waste (depends on where she was set up at the time). Had a bunch of other great side effects that made meeven better than an Olympic-grade gymnast.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:One time, I duked it out withthis crazy broad callin' herself Jinxat the carnival!She mighta won in the end, but at least I went out with a bang!Unwitting Pawn/She Knows Too Much: I still rememberthat one timeMr. J abused me! I was blinded into believing he loved me.But NAH, he tossed me justbecause he can! I revealed my plan to go against Mr. J in secrecy, and he pushed me off his office room?I gotta say, I should consider myself lucky since Bats gave Mr. J an ass-kicking of a lifetime.Villainous Harlequin: Well DUUUUUH!

Unfortunately, the Incredible Hulk was at first rather unpopular, with his first series being canceled after issue #6. However, the Incredible Hulk made several guest appearances in other comics over the next years, and eventually returned as a main character inTales to Astonish. Hulk featured in these comics from issue #60 (October 1964) to issue #101 (March 1968), until the series was named after him, the so-calledIncredible HulkVol. #2. Hulk has appeared in every issue since #102 until #474 (that's April 1968 until March 1999). The Hulk also made a number of appearances in some short-lived titles, establishing himself as one of Marvel's most popular characters.YOU NOT LIKE HULK WHEN HULK ANGRY!ANGRIER HULK GET,STRONGER HULK GET!HULK WAS PUNY BRUCE BANNER, BUT BANNER GET HIT BYGAMMA RAYSAND TURN INTO HULK WHEN PUNY BANNER GET MAD!TranslationThe Incredible Hulk was originally a man named Bruce Banner, until he was exposed to gamma radiation. Now, moments of anger trigger a transformation into the Incredible Hulk, a (usually) green-skinned monstruosity who possessesSuper StrengthandNigh-Invulnerability.HULK GET IN MANY FIGHTS ANDSMASH LOTS OF THINGS! BUT MOST PEOPLE HULK BEATS UPDESERVE BEAT UPOR ANNOY HULK! HULK NOT WANT TO MAKE TROUBLE, BUTWORLD CAUSE LOTS OF TROUBLE FOR HULK!MAKE HULK ANGRY! GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!TranslationBruce does the best he can to prevent transformations into the Hulk and generally wishes to be left to his own devices; however, there are always entities whojust don't get the hint, which leads to BruceHulking Out. Hulk's brutal rampages are generally highly destructive and frightening to behold, but due to the nature of his trigger, more often than not, the targets of Hulk's violence provoke it.HULK NOT USUALLY HELP PEOPLE, BUT HULK LIKE TO HELP HULK'S FRIENDS!

However, one of his more interesting abilities is his ability to to sense the location of his original transformation anywhere in the world. Also, while not a power from Hulk himself, Bruce Banner is the world's leading expert on nuclear radiation, to the point where he surpasses Iron Man and Doctor Doom in this field.HULK BECOME DIFFERENT PERSON A LOT! HERE ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT HULK BECOME!Bruce Banner: Hi, I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, and I'm in control of this body most of the time.

OF COURSEHULK GET ANGRY TOO EASYTHAT MEAN HULK IS STRONGEST OF PEOPLE HE BECOME!Joe Fixit: 'Bout time we got done with the shouting. Call me Joe Fixit, a.k.a., the Gray Hulk. I was the first Hulk ya ever saw (something about color and personality problems in the early comics), but don't mix me up with the green giant over there. Normally, I only come out at night or when Bruce decides to \"let me out\". I'm no egghead like Banner, but at least I can think (and talk) like a normal person. I also enjoy the finer things in life.Good food, expensive clothes, ladies, and theoccasional sarcastic quip. I might lack the full, raw strength of the green guy and have a rather flimsy grasp on all that sciencey geek stuff Banner does, but, let's be honest; compared to my craftiness and natural knack for manipulation, those things have always seemed rather overrated to me.I'm also not afraid of getting my hands dirty to get what I want, so you'd better not get in my way. Some head shrink thinks I'm supposed to be the teen Banner never let himself be as a kid.I enjoy a good scrap now and then, but don't mix me up with thatMr. Fixit. Currently I'm \"sharin'\u201d Banner's pencil-necked geek form underAl's take on Big Green. Doesn't make me any less dangerousas Bushwhacker and Fortean learned the hard way.Now I'm back in full form and then some thanks toX-Ray of the U-Foes bombarding me with Cosmic Rayswhich I absorbed andHulked Out.The Merged Hulk: Also known as \"The Professor\", I am yet another one of the many forms the Hulk can transform into. Bruce Banner wanted me to be the most idealistic Hulk there could be, but alas, it was not to be. I was actually created by Doc Samson in an attempt to cure me of my Multiple Personality Disorder. When I get angrier, I get weaker. If I grow too angry, I become the screaming behemoth who's been breaking your ear drums every time he speaks. It's quite a good thing that Bruce Banner was able to install this failsafe in this personality, even if it is my physically weakest one.The Green Scar: The word \"strong\" doesn't even begin to describe how powerful I am.I wound up enslaved as a gladiator on the planet Sakaar when a few puny humans decided I was too dangerous to stay on earth,and I became the greatest fighter their arena ever had. The people on Sakaar started thinking of me as their Messiah, the \"Sakaarson\" when I freed myself and fought against their insane king. But that's just a fairy tale. The ones that call me the Worldbreaker are the ones who are right. Don't let my apparent calm fool you. I am theangriestHulk.I Am a Monster. And despite what the others might say,Iam the strongest there is.Doc Green: WhenBetty Ross'assassins tried to eliminate Banner and my lesser selves, I emerged courtesy of Stark's Extremis virus. Smarter than Banner and stronger than my other selves, think of me as a superior version of the \"Professor\". I realized that there were too many Hulks in the world and tragedy would befall them everytime, so I decided that I would cure them whether they like it or not.Immortal Hulk/Devil Hulk: You know who I am? I'm the darkest side to the Hulknotesure, Maestro, Guilt Hulk, Nul, and Kluh all claim to be Bruce's true dark side, but a good chunk of them were created by outside help, so they don't count, andthe Devil Hulk you saw in earlier issues was just how Banner saw me... theoriginalHulk from back inJackie'sdays and I've decided to come back to play. What makes me the strongest? Simple. I can't die. I've been 'killed' so many times I'm actually immune to it. Oh, Bruce can die until the sun goes down... and that's when I get a chance to have some fun. Wereit not for that particular handicap, I'd be on par with the Green Scar, but what can ya do?Apparently, Banner and I solved that little problem recently. Although somehow,I appearently died for good. But you all know by now thatthis isn't how it works. I figure I'll be back sooner than you think and you don't needa bunch of little magic balls to do that.WHEN HULK MAD, ONLY FEW CAN STOP HULK SMASHING EVERYTHING!

I basically warned Tony, Strange and Wong that Thanos was coming to gather the rest of the stones, and had to hide since he refused to come out. I had to seek out Steve and the Vision, alongside Romanoff, Rhodes, and Maximoff. We all agreed to head to Wakanda to allow Shuri to destroy the Mind Stone without killing Vision but then he came. Even now he refused to come out so I used one of Tony's hulkbuster armors to engage with Thanos (even killing Obsidian by sacrificing one of the arms) but then he trapped me in some rocks and killed half the universe before escaping. I was mortified that I also couldn't do anything to Thanos either.Even after going after Thanos on his retirement planet to undo the damage only to see he made it irreversible caused me to realize that if neither he nor I could take on Thanos separately, then maybe we shouldmergeso that it would be a lot easier to deal with such a case.Eventually, during the five year gap, Hulk and I ultimately found a way to become a single being, dubbed \"Smart Hulk\" by the public. I'm kind of like the Professor in this form, in that I've got the Hulk's brawn and still have my brains. But I don't have all of the Hulk's strength, and that's really an issue when you're about to use the Infinity Gauntlet to undo Thanos' damage inflicted upon the universe. I mean, in honesty, I only chose to do that because the stones had gamma radiation, and I felt like I was made for doing the snap. But my right arm got damaged and I wasn't as much of a help as I would have been during the Battle of Earth. So by the time when I checked onShang Chi's rings, I had to revert back to human form to heal and ended up with a sling on my arm. But then one day, when I was driving with my cousinJen, this Sakaaran ship showed up out of nowhere, and we got into a little accident. She got infected with my gamma blood and turned into a Hulk. So I turned back into Smart Hulk, healed my arm thanks to Jen's Hulk blood, and taught her the ways of being a Hulk. But she turned out to be better than me as a Hulk in almost every way, and she ended up heading back to her attorney job. Well, kinda. After she Hulked out on the job, she got fired from her old job, but got hired to help with this superhuman law division. As for me, I got on the Sakaaran ship and headed off to Sakaar. And during that time, I had a son, Skaar. And yes, I showed him to my Earth-family. What comes next, I don't know.]DECADE ALSO SHOW HULK IN CARTOON STUFF!!!

While not as smart as Banner, my greater intelligence helps me in combat, and I can determine at a glance if certain radiation is cosmic in nature. When I become the Green Scar, I become much more intelligentandmuch stronger, but am still perpetually angry. Also, my colleagues and I often demonstrate great cunning in determining how to make best use of our strength, or to otherwise come up with intelligent tactics when we have to. Even the Savage Hulk demonstrates this when necessary, although he would never admit it.]Joe Fixit: Hell, it's in my name; throw me at a problem and I'll whip ya up a solution right quick.

Robbie, move that to page one. And with this headline: \"Masked Menace Terrorizes New York\"!(For an authentic experience, it's my recommendation that you read the following in the voice ofJ. K.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T\u2014GET IT FIXED WITHIN THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OR YOU'RE FIRED, JARED!)Greetings. This is J. Jonah Jameson, esteemed reporter, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and publisher of New York's finest newspaperand/or digital media outlet, the Daily Bugle.And here at the Bugle, we take pride in celebrating all the heroes who strive to make our world a better place: the emergency services who constantly cleanse our streets of disease, disaster, and terror; the thousands of brave men and women fighting overseas to protect and serve us back home; the visionary scientists, engineers, and astronauts like my very own son, John; the intrepid writers and reporters such as yours truly who fight to give the people a voice in times of hardship; all the way down to the average Jeans of our very city, adamant in their struggles against injustices such as homelessness or cultural discrimination, right from the ground level.That all said, we at the Bugle aim to give honest answers first. We're hopeful, not overtly and foolishly idealistic, and we're willing to judge or even condemn those who use the guise of \"heroism\" for their own selfishness or ego. Those who spout theatrics and performance while having no sense of justice orresponsibility. This brings me to today's topic, yet again\u2026Spider-Man.Spider-Man.Does whatever he wants, and what does that web-headed hooligan have to show for it? I'lltellyou what he has to show for it! A streak of desecration, destruction, andrampantcarelessness, that's what! Forhow longhave we New Yorkers spent watching him vandalize our property with hisdisgustingweb fluid?How many timeshas he draggedothercostumed psychopaths into the streets with him? How many disasters andruined liveswill it take for us tofinallydeal with this so-called \"hero\" like the unhingedMENACEthat he is!?We've all spent years watching his \"contributions\" to society like disappointed parents, but nevertheless, I won't be deterred, andyoushouldn't be, either. And if you're listening,\"Spidey\", know this: we're New Yorkers, and we won't back down until you're unmasked, jailed, and run out of town!Preferablyin that order!On to the tropes section of today's issue (whatever that means):Badass Normal:It was one of those days, I guess, but I once gavea giant lizardstanding outside the Bugle\u2019s window a good piece of my mind.And during thatInfernomalarkey, I showed those demons why it's a bad idea to pick a fight with an angry New Yorker who's down to his last nerve!And back when I was in high school, I trained as a boxer along with being in the photography club. When three of my high school's top athletes started hassling me, I taught them a lesson they never forgot. My classmate Joan saw the fight, and she was so impressed she became my darling wife.Even when on the ropes, I have nerves of steel.When the Green Goblin himself had me by the neck in my own office, Irefusedto tell him who was giving me pictures of Spider-Man. Despite my status and corner office, I'm still a journalist at heart... and a journalistnevergives up his sources!WRITE THAT DOWN, THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!!Berserk Button: Anything involvingTHAT MISERABLE WALL CRAWLING MENACE!Like howI keep getting callersevery now and thenwho say they \"know\" he wasn't involved with whatever crime he allegedly stopped.'Have to cut it short since there's no point trying to reason with them... People these days.Cigar Chomper: I used to be one of the most iconic examples in comics, at least before Joe Quesada made the entire Marvel Universe butt out. I was never without a good cigar, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.Da Editor: I'm also \"Da Chief\", and don't you forget it! And learn tospell, for crying out loud!Everyone Has Standards:...there's one rule above all others.We at the Bugle only acceptGENUINEnews.

Even as theBuglepublisher, I've still got into the thick of it. I've risked my life multiple times, butnothingwill stop me from getting my story!Hair-Trigger Temper: Hmmph. Some people say I'm this, but is it my fault that I'mSurrounded by Idiots? You'd beEnraged by Idiocytoo if you had to put up with the crap I've dealt with!Intrepid Reporter: Damn right! I made my bones as a newspaper reporter working for theDaily Bugle, exposing corruption and helping oppressed groups fight for their civil rights. I kept it up after I bought theBuglewhen it was in bad financial shape. I've been fighting for the city and the country I love for decades...and I've done itwithoutany fancy costumes or superpowers!Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alright, alright...I'll admit I've done things like pay for Parker's legal fees when he wasWrongly Accused, not to mention his wedding, directed my staff to make information about Parker's wife Mary Jane priority one when she was abducted, given Betty Brant her mother's job after the mother died and Betty needed to support herself and moved heaven and earth to get a pardon for my old friend Joe Robertson when he was coerced into keeping silent about a crime. Just don't tell anybody, alright? I have a reputation to maintain!Large Ham: You can't earn any respect without being the biggest person in the room!Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: I'll take a moment to admit that Parker is... somewhat respectable. Yes, he's often indulgent in his youth and stupidity (they all are), but the kid's had a consistent track record in getting my needed photos of Spider-Man for years, and he deserves some credit for it. I'm sure that webhead justwisheshe could be evenhalfthe man Parker is, warts and all.And don't youdareask aboutwhat I've been up to with either of them lately, you'll getnothingouttame!Got it?!It's not like a place like this makes that much sense to begin with!Malicious Slander: Some people havethe nerveto claim that my reporting on Spider-Man's numerous criminal activities is this. And I resent that accusation!Slander isspoken!When it's print, it'slibel.My Greatest Failure: ...My vendetta against the web-slinger has led me to do some things I'm not proud of, namely financing the creation of the Scorpion and the Spider-Slayers. I've paid restitution to their victims over the years...and this is still something I regret.Parental Substitute: Just what are you getting at?Just because I gave Betty her mother's job after her mother died and she needed to support herself, and later gave her away at her wedding, gave Parker a job after he lost his uncle and helped him out financially on the sly, and mentored that sweetheartCindy Moonwhen she was breaking into the journalism business, you think I have a paternal interest in any of them?I'd tell you where to shove your accusation, but this is a family website...Reasonable Authority Figure: Yes, I have very high standards, but I can also recognize when people actually live up to them. When Parker and reporter Joy Mercado returned from Ireland after doing a story onThe Troubles, I went off like a volcano at all the expenses they charged...right up until I saw the dynamite story and pictures they brought back. The photos were so good, I skeptically asked Parker if he was the one who took them.The Scrooge: That Ebenezer fellow had the right idea. I'll admit I can be a bit...frugal on things like building maintenance and staff parties, but when you live in New York it's just good sense!Self-Deprecation: The dearly departedStan Leesaid that he based me off other people's image of him back in the day. Hmmph-he might think he was depicting himself as an arrogant hardass, but he wasclearlyjust reflecting his determination and high standards!Now go! Get out of here! I wantpictures!Pictures of Spider-Man! ...What do you mean this isn't that kind of website? Okay, then get metropesabout Spider-Man!And I want them finished before you start, and before you finish, get me some coffee,and this page could use some more tropes itself!'Need another word about this?

So then. There's me, and there'sthe Bat, two peas in a pod. I'm the better-looking pea, of course, but that's beside the point.Billy FingerandBobby Kane, inspired by both the playing card andConrad Veidt'sdeliciouslychilling title character in the 1920s filmThe Man Who Laughs, conjured me up in 1940,back when heroes were allowed to kill, everyone Asian spoke with their R's and L's mixed up, and the art was worse than something drawn by a six-year old brat with colored pencils('course, Jerry Robinson said he had a hand too, but that's not my department)... I gave that flying rodent a good runaround inBatman #1(I was modest enough to give him the title...), and soon enough,I began carving out my own little niche.But, as it turned out, that wasn't enough! No, they planned to whack me in my second appearance! Can you believe that?! But, someone (in this case, Whitney Ellsworth) came through for me, and I lived through a self-inflicted stabbing after all. So, instead of dying painfully, I only had to endure six months of agonizing hospital time! Those were the glory days... I'd show up, make a bit of trouble, kill a couple of people, get foiled by Fatman, and escape at the last minute. Gambling rackets, sniping FBI agents, I've seen (and done) it all. I was even executed once, y'know. 'course,The Grim Reapercouldn't hold me, and I came back... just in time to witness the rising ofThe Comics Code. (Hoo...and some people thoughtIwas evil and insane... heh heh heh...)Maybe I should've stayed buried a bit longer, cuz, you all knowwhat happened next. The Dork Knight and that brat Robin were joined byBatwoman,Bat-Girl, Bat-Hound,Bat-Mite(yeesh, what's next?Bat-butler?), andno one was allowed to kill ever again. And we all lived happily ever after... NOT! Then again, I can't say that it was ever boring. I was allowed to play with bigger toys \u2014 everything from my own utility belt to giant record players. (Where the heck does Gotham get all that stuff, anyhow?) I even managed to get all of Gotham City to marvel at my enormousBONER!noteBy the way, when I said \"Boner\", I meant \"Mistake\". But I guess that's not asfunny,is it?But nothing lasts forever, does it? (Save the memory ofTom and Jerry.)ComeThe Bronze Age of Comic Books, I was finally allowed to roam free again, and what a joy it was! Blowing off people's heads with exploding cigars and feeding them to sharks! It seems that finally, the heads at DC Comics got brains - it was here that I got my own series! And it lasted all of... nine issues...And I had to lose most of the time.*COUGH*Ah, well, who cares about all that?The '70smight have returned me to life, but it wasThe '80sthat were really my heyday. You might recall an obscure little book calledThe Killing Jokewritten by some nobody calledAlan Moore. If you haven't... GET OVER THERE AND READ IT, AND DON'T CALL YOURSELF A FAN OF MINE UNTIL YOU'VE MEMORIZEDEVERY WORD!Done? Good. Less than a year afterward, DC madethe historical decision of killing off Robin\u2014 'bout time, too. But just a little heads-up, it was Jason Todd,notDick Grayson. Who was Jason Todd? Who cares? All you need to know is thatevery reader hated his guts, enough that theyvotedto have him die. But with an outfit like that, can you really blame them? Heck, at leastthirteenof those votescame from yours truly!Anyhoo, the poll was set up, the calls were made, and I gave poor li'l Jason a spanking he'll never forget. Rest in pieces.noteNot that it lasted. Not only did Glass-Jawed Toddclaw his way out of a shallow grave, but that twerp had the nerve to call himself \"Red Hood!\" That'smyalias (probably), and he knows it! No one likes a joke thief, especially not the guy named after jokes! ...Where was I? Oh, right...ThenI got shot. And got trapped on an exploding helicopter. And vanished for all of a few months.And Istillmade it back in time for the holidays! From there on, my life's been just one giant rollercoaster ride, 'specially sinceI killed Jimmy Gordon's wife during that earthquake.AndTHEN, I had a shiny new show opening for Bratgirl, the Dead Hood andallBatsy's little sidekicks! Those brats who make my Bats fat, slow, and weak. TskTSK.They found my lack of face...disturbing.HA!And if you thoughtthatwas bad, wait 'til you hear about Eric Border-Hold on, where're you going? D'ya think we're done with my life? Not even close! I've poisoned all the fish on the eastern and western seaboard and tried to patent them! I'vebecome Godand brought the whole universe to its knees! I've killedSiskel & Ebert, fer Pete's sake!But no, you don't care about any of that, do you? I bet you came to this page because you were so impressed by thatpencil trick, ormy apocryphal shenanigans afterwards. No?The dreadlocked barefoot monkey-man with that sexy, sexy laugh, then?Perhaps you remember the days when I faced off withAdam West- who it looks like Irubbedoff on?

Or was itGod's gift to Gotham, the world, and that Grinchy old bat(deliveredon Christmas Eve!, even!)? Kept on giving, too, when,instead of killing the second bird-brain, I tortured him into joining the dark side (just like I did with little Timmy in theBatman Beyondcontinuity),faking his own death, and becoming anArkham Knight,years before taking over Arkham Asylum and turning into a twenty-foot tall muscleman! (Althoughthat one didn't end too well. Object lesson on steroid use, kids!Oh yeah, andI still continued to torture the drug-induced Bat-Jerky to the point of insanity from beyond the grave! What FUN! That is, until he managed tolock me away forever in the depths of his subconscious.NO FAIR, BATSY! (How was I supposed to know that theexact momentI took over Batsy's psyche was the moment that Good ol' Doctor Crane was injecting him with enough fear toxin to makethe entire eastern seaboardgo bonkers\u2026and thusIwas the one that ended up getting scared, somehow protecting Fatman from psychological harm?)OOH!Or when I got Birdbrain tobite my shiny metalcrowbar?No? The one with all those kid superheroes, whoknows his way around a contraction? Theold classic model, fresh off thatweirdislandand going up againstRoboCop? Or how aboutthose timeswhere Iwas a woman?Maybe that neat little corner of the multiversewhere I've got teeth to die for, coattails longer than my whole body, and managed to accomplishevery other escapade on the list?noteI evengot away cleanafter helping Batsy save the city from my new clique!Or how I madeSuper-freakgo nuts bytrading my joybuzzersfor real sparksout ofmy handsandtricking him into killing his wife and making Metropolis go BOOM by placing a nuke?That onehas earnedthe ire ofa lot.'Course, any version of me is good as long as you don't think I'mthat other psychotic, fourth-wall breaking clownnoteI resemble that remark!who works for thoseMarvelguys.

Though I'm not sure what to say about that Oracle wannabe, she really works better on a seatif you catch my drift.Well, that conversation was certainly uplifting, wouldn't you say? Look at how widely you're grinning. Ooh, and check it out! Your complexion is clearing right up. And that hair...! So rich a shade of green that only your undertaker'll know for sure. And that laugh!

(Evil Laugh)—index—Tropes A to FTropes G to NTropes O to Y—/index—"} {"text": "Here's a link to the main page ofyours truly!A-F|G-N|O-YAbusive Parents: I might have suffered from this...or not. Honestly, even I can't remember anymore.Academy Award:I've had two fellas win that little golden boy for playing me: the late, greatHeath LedgerinThe Dark Knightand good ol'Joaquin PhoenixinJoker. This makes me the only supervillain (and comic book character in general) to win someone an Oscar and the first guy sinceDon Mumblesto be played by two guys in winning performances.At least WB knows a classy role when they see it. Before Heathy and Joaquin, there wasJackiewho won two golden boys beforehe became me! And whaddya know; in 2016, pretty boy and fellow statue snatcherJared Letogracedthe silver screenwith my handsome mug.My first solo outing on the big screenin 2019 was up for the grand prize, Best Picture! It didn't win. Oh, well. But hey, it's the most nominated comic book movie in Oscar history! Who needs that pesky Bat-brain?! I can entertain all by myself! Ha ha ha!Acquired Poison Immunity: Seems I've developed an immunity to the stuff due to all my... recreational use.Actor Allusion: I pay homage from time to time.May the flossbe with you!When that Alex Ross fellow draws me, though, I tend to resemblea certain major movie star.Actually A Doom Bot: Or actuallyClayface\u2014 the Joker you see for the majority ofBatman: Arkham City, believe it or not,isn't me. The Titan formula I took at the end ofArkham Asylumpoisoned me and left me too weak to run my gang, soI had Clayface disguised as meto keep anybody from noticing I was sick, and he was happy to take on \"the role of a lifetime\". And boy, did he work like a charm! Nobody could tell he was fake till he turned back to his normal form.Actually Pretty Funny: Sometimes the Bats himself makes a punchline.Sometimesintentional,sometimesnot. I do appreciateIrony, so sometimes I find an entire situation hilarious and invoke the Trope verbatim.He was going to share the antidote with me, despite all I've done. Hah, that actually was...pretty...funny...During the climax of theLast Laughstoryline, I was told that ol' Croc had iced the youngest Bat Brat (the third, I think? Honestly, who can keep track, the Bat goes through Robins like copy paper). Understandably, I was furious,I'Msupposed to be the one to kill off Batsy's little family! That is... until I found out Crocatehim! HAH! Robin Tartare! I don't think I could have topped that! Sadly, it turned out to be fake, but itdidget Nightwing to beat me to death! Sure, Bats brought me back so his baby bird wouldn't be a murderer but damn it, it still counts!Adaptational Heroism: There'sone versionof me out there that, after spending a decade as a head in a jar in the desert, was more than happy to see Bats for the first time in forever, and opted to be rather chummy with Bats. That version even suggested that Bats make yours truly his new Robin!And it was genuine - I stood by his side the whole time, and he eventually made me his new Robin by attaching my head to a Robin-themed exosuit! Granted, that Batman was a clone of the original, while the original turned out to be the villain of that story.In mysolo circus act, I started off as some degenerate who wanted to make the world full of happiness and wonders...YUCK!DISGUSTING! Sounds too sappy and not horrible enough to be true! I'd dare even call it...ick...good!EUUUUGH! I can't be sureif I ever actually wanted something like that, you know.Though of course, a few beatdowns, a splash of bad luck and a good buncha psychological traumas later...I knew damn better.Hehehehehahahahaha!Adaptational Nice Guy: InHarley's show. After I lost my memories and turned *shudders* normal, I actually came to love the family I settled down with. Not enough to give up being evil when Harley pushed me back into the chemical vat, but enough that I still wanted to keep living with them. I even gave Harley some advice about her relationship with Poison Ivy.InBatman: The Brave and the Bold,my mannersaren't an act.I'm a big fan of the Weeper and formed aVillainous Friendshipwith him.Adaptation Origin Connection: For those of you who fawn over Batsy and his gaggle of easily disposable sidekicks, let me remind you that if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be prancing around in those tights.First off, I was the one that did in Brucey's parents. Why?Probably because I felt like it, but WHO CARES? They dropped like flies, and one traumatized billionaire later, he wants me dead!Wait a minute...maybe that might havebeen a slight mistake.On the other hand, if I never bumped off Tommy and Martha, Inever would have gotten this gorgeous grin!Ever wonder why yours truly hasn't bothered to show up inangst central? That may be due to the fact that Iended up sending a pair of Kanesinto the Gotham River, leaving one dead and the other as bonkers as yours truly! (What, and no thank you? Jeesh. You take thattall blonde ladywho playedMs. Fishnetson thatone showand make her go fromthe character everyone hatestothe reason people stick around to watch Kate mopeand you hardly get any credit? How is that fair, I ask?) It finally drove Batsy over the edge enough to dowhat he should have done ages agoand drive me into the ground! That's right folks! Batsy killed me! And now because of me,Robin Hood,Speedy, andtherestofthose folks don't have tall, dark, and brooding going around saving their rears whenever the going gets tough. That and Gotham went downhill much worse than usual, in spite of lacking my dramatic flair to make things more interesting.Or did I really die? Kate's plane might have a different story to tell you. Best not to go peeking into a man's paintings. Curiosity killed the bat, you know...alas, it was old Roman Sionis and some island chick named Safiyah who really did the deed, meaning my entire fate is still up in the air in the old Angstverse, but hey, at least I still played a role in making another Bratwoman! And, as it turns out, yours truly has his own son running around now! Well, I'll be dipped in chocolate! Who would have thought joy buzzing that kid on the bus would have made another me! If I weren't supposedly dead, I'd be so proud!In mysolo act,My murder of Murray Franklin on live TV inspires a riot in the streets, Which leads to one of my followers gunning down the Waynes in a alleyway. Making me responsible for the Waynes deathsagain!(Albeit indirectly this time) In addition,I may or may not be Little Brucie's older half brother.Affably Evil:I usually do it as a way to tug with people morebut some versions of me qualify as the true deal, such as that Batbrain fanboy fromBatman: The Telltale Seriesor most of my old-school incarnations.Agent Peacock: I'm lean and mean, like my lipstick, love showing my emotions, and I've killed thousands of people with every new scheme.All Abusers Are Male: Ha, Gotham's ladies have plenty of fight in them. Let me tell you,Harley has a mean right...\u25caAll of the Other Reindeer: Lexman's got the right idea - makes it a point to invite me to his playdates. I may play the occasional jape on my... er, teammates. I mean, I'm only human! Or so I think, it gets confusing at times. The point is, I can't stand people telling me I can't do something, like, say... joining your new team - even moreso when it denies me fun times with the Bat. Either you endure a little nose tweaking or an ice pick to the brain. As Lex's next-Earth neighbor learned to his detriment.Alternate Self: Meh. Sure, some other \"me\"s out there in the great space out yonder have chosen to join the white hats. Honestly I just think it's another form ofthe eternal dance between me and Bats. Admit it, none of you lummoxes can think of any other reason.Always a Bigger Fish:The Creeper. Never get me near that guy! He's a lunatic! Dumber than a coffin nail, but a lunatic nonetheless! And considering who's telling you this, that's really saying something.Ambiguous Disorder: Peopleknowthere's something wrong with me, but what, oh what? I've been diagnosed with ALMOST everything from sociopathy to schizophrenia!Ambiguously Gay: Look, Harley's a great sidekick, but I'm with herbecause I need all the help i can get.Batsy, on the other hand... Well, look at my lipstick-totingvariationon Grant'sdrug-fueled nightmare trip.On the other hand, I may or may not have had a wife once and sometimes I do show love for dear ol' Harl. Hey, if I can make my past multiple choice, why not my sexuality too?Amusement Park of Doom: I do love my fun, after all. My hideout inthat one moviewas an amusement park with the only way to get to my house being a roller coaster ride. Hell, with a little ingenuity and some time andhenchmen to kill, anything with a set of rails,like a steel mill, makes a damn fine rollercoaster. Don't tell me you never wanted to ride onesurrounded by molten hot iron!Antagonist in Mourning: I don't usually talk about it, but... rememberthe time whenthat little wimp Sid \"The Squid\" fooled everyone (including himself) into thinking that he'd sent Batsy tothe great belfry in the sky? I didn't buy it until Harl, myMooksand I helped ourselves to some jewelry and Batbrain never showed up. Okay, so I wasn't my usual effervescent self that night \u2014 I shed aSingle Tearand said \"Without Batman, crime has no punchline.\" (See? I can do drama too!) Then I tried to give Batbuttan appropriate sendoff\u2014 as well as that little creep Sid, sinceNO ONE OFFS BATSO BUT ME, GOT IT?!Of course, Fatbat was justplaying possumso Sid would lead him to that grumpy ol' Rupert Thorne. Next thing you know, Sid's in the Iron Bar Hotel, where he's sitting pretty because his fellow cons love that he made me look like a clown, and not in agoodway! (And Thorny too, like anyone cares about that pompous blowhard.) So Sid the Stupid got one over on me without eventrying! It still burns my bacon when I think about it. And since it's just Blackgate and not Arkham, I don't think I'll get to send him my regards him anytime soon.Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better: Remember that epic speech Bane made inThe Dark Knight Riseswhere he revealed Harvey Dent for what he really was to Gotham (which, I might remind you was due to my handiwork)? Well, somebody who did a fantastic impression of me made a Joker version of it.Wanna see it?Applied Phlebotinum: MySurfing Experience & Ability Transferometer & Vigor Reverser. Made me great at catching waves, but Batty Belfry, Robbie the Birdbrain, and Bat-Bimbo didn't like it. What did they find so cool about Skippy-boy that I didn't have, anyway?Arch-Enemy: Batsy and me provide the page picture for a reason, ya know! Even if asour brick selves, Batsy refused to acknowledge me as his nemesis,something I did not take well!Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In \"Batman: The Dark Prince Charming\", my list of things to do includes: get the diamond; kill the Batman; and order sushi.Ascended Fanboy: Wouldja believe I am one?Weeperis such a hoot! Especially when trying to kill me!An Asskicking Christmas: If it's Christmastime and I'm around you can be sure there'll be asskicking aplenty! Speaking of asskicking, check outthis kick-ass, twisted version of a Christmas carol called \"Carol of the Bells\"fromBatman: Arkham Origins!And it gets even better:an unused version of the song!Attempted Rape:At one time inLast Laugh, while still convinced that I had terminal cancer, I thought I wanted to continue a legacy of my own. So I hired mymooksto kidnap my little Harl'and bring her to me, so that I could try and produce an heir by... you know...revving up my Harleybefore marriage. Unfortunately, Bat-Girl and her friends showed up and rescued her before I could get a chance. Oh well... them's the breaks, I guess.And no, honest,I neverdid itto Barb. Seriously,just ask Alan.Attention Whore: Oy, why should I be working myself to death with no one to appreciate it?In fact,it turns out thatbeing forgotten is one of my greatest fears!Ax-Crazy: Why limit myself? Still,always wasgood with an axe.... As my may-or-may-not-be sonAnarkyonce put it, my psychosis is almost a separate being in its own right.Back from the Dead:Even if youactually manageto see me die!(okay, so I was still technically dead during that second one, but come on, doesn't psychologically torturing your biggest baddestArch-Enemyfrom beyond the grave count foranythingthese days?!)All a part of my master plan in \"The Joker Walks the Last Mile\" (Detective ComicsIssue #64, June 1942). My plan was simple: I turned myself in over to the police, pleaded guilty and confessed to all my crimes of murder and robbery, and got sent to the death chamber and fried by the electric chair! (Offscreen, actually.) Immediately after I got declared dead by a coroner, mymookswasted no time in reclaiming my body from the prison morgue and carrying me to a nearby ambulance and forcing some life serum down my throat within 15 minutes to keep me from slipping off from \"Only Mostly Dead\" to \"all dead\". Once I revived, I was living a glorious life by walking away a free man, which meant that I couldn't be punished again for the same crimes! Of course, Batsy and Bird-Boy had to find another way to apprehend me by proof that I committed new robberies I never confessed to in life before my execution! So much for that! You know what they say: \"Those who fight and run away will live to fight another day.\" HOOHOOHOOAHHAHAHAHA!Thanks tothat Red Mask fellow, every version of me that kicked the bucket is back! And I now exist in the Fleischer-verse, ready to give Supes a bad day.Badass Bookworm: Gotta keep my brain as sharp as my knives! I'm particularly amused by the fantasies ofAyn Randwho seems to think that we live in a rational, sane universe\u25ca. NOT WHILE I'M AROUND, SISTER!Badass in a Nice Suit: As that doll Harley will tell you, it's not a killer smile unless you've got a suit to match, even if you're a charmer like me!Badass in Distress: Would you believe I once rescuedthe old bat? But hey, what fun would the world be without him around?Badass in a Nice Suit: This has been one of my trademarks ever since old Bob n' Bill first created me back in the oldDetective Comicsdays. Even thoughMonkey-Medidn't start wearing one, it didn't take me long to do so.Badass Longcoat: A little style never hurt anyone.Badass Normal: Though some would argue that I'm anything but normal. Still, the fact that folk who go toe-to-toe with ol' Supes are scared of me? That'sgottabe worth something. Hell, I've got one of the highest bodycounts in the entire DCU, far outdoing almost any superpowered freaks out there, and generally only outdone by those with the power to destroy entire worlds.Bad Boss: Good help issooohard to find these days.... Admittedly, I've had to terminate some of my underlings, but I made sure to send them away with smiles on their faces.Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: In one episode ofThe Batman, I actually saved Batsy's secret identity by taking care of Wrath and Scorn before they could spill the beans. What can I say? I didn't want anyone else being the Bat's end.The Bad Guy Wins:Injusticewasa mainstream beep-boop game after all, so of course my insides got splattered merrily across the wall and the good guys triumphed over evil blah blah blah, but they never did manage to completely fix oneteeeeeeny-tiny problem: I!BROKE!SUPERMAN!...Well,oneof me and one ofhim, but there's no denying it - that universe just plain went to hell and no matter which mode you play, Mr. Big Blue Boyscout doesnotget a happy ending. What's that you say? Redemption? Then I've got a guide to saving a certainFinal Fantasy VIIcharacter I'd like to sell you...noteAnd no, that joke doesn't have anything to do with himsounding like Sephiroth.It just turned out that way.Nothing saysI can't explainwhatisn'tthe punchline.I get everything I want inBatman: Under the Red Hood. Ol' Brucey and his emo son are driven even further apart and I'm whammed into the slammer to inevitably run wild yet again in a few months.My outing in theThe LEGO Batman Movie. I spend the entire movie trying to get Batman to admit I am his greatest enemy, and to save Gotham he finally does and gives me what I wanted in the first place.Banana Peel:Just stop on by Dr. Hurt's place.He'lltell you.(FYI?Bring a shovel.)Bandaged Face: Frequent in the origin. Honestly, it'll scar you for life\u2026\"Bang!\" Flag Gun: Gotcha! Ah, that one never gets old\u2026though therewasthat one time it wasn't funny at all.Barefoot Loon/Does Not Like Shoes: My costume inThe Batman? A straitjacket and bare feet. It was a legitimate fashion choice! Well, I did adopt a variation on my trademark purple suit in later appearances, but I still went barefoot. Hey, it was the turn of the millennium. We're all entitled to try new things with our image once in awhile.Batman Gambit: Ugh, couldn't they give this one a different name? Still, I've been known to pull off some tricks that put even ol' Batsy himself to shame.Battle Rapping: I onceengaged in a contest of rhythmic verse againstPennywise the Dancing Clown. Suffice it to say, I gave him a bigger challenge than even those Loser kids did \u2014 especially since that tired hack wasn't used to fighting someone too nuts to be afraid of him!Being Tortured Makes You Evil: I've tried thisonceortwice. Success rates aren't all that great, but it's always fun to try, and I can think of at leasttwotimesit did work for a while, though sadly it didn't stick in either case.This might be what happened to me back in the day to make me like I am... I can't quite recall if that's really how it happened.Berserk Button:Don't you dare laugh at me!I encourage you to laughwithme,neveratme.And Icanmake you laugh. I'm the Clown Prince of Gotham! A comic genius! And if you doubt it...I'll PROVE it to you.YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN!Do Ilooklike I have the time or patience to build another one?! WhodoI look like?!!Luthor?!!!Oh, how I still miss him.And as one Cameron Kaiser found outnoteSee \"Joker's Wild\", one of my masterpieces, don't you dare try to cash in on my image! (That said, I do give him props for doing this just to trick me into destroying his casino for insurance.)Likewise, that nasty ol' Mr. G. Carl Francis found out the hard way what happens when you try to snub me of my legal cut of the profits!noteSee \"The Laughing Fish\"Granted, I always planned to expose him to my Joker venom, even if the deal had gone through, but not letting me copyright my fish gave me a good excuse to do it anyway. In the original comic, I evensent him out with a smile.Howdarethatbald megalomaniacfound The Legion of Doom inJusticeand not invite ME?!Still, in his defense, it was aMythology Gag'bout how I wasn't allowed onSuperfriendsbecause oflegal mumbo jumbo. Better still, he learns fast, I'll give Lexy that. Never made that mistake again.That said, he can make entirely new ones. If he ever breathes a word about me and Batsy's relationshipagain,I'm getting the cheese grater. And seriously, the Batman who Talks?Really, Lex?Really?Y'know what? Fine. Stick your tongue into the socket. Don't say I didn't warn you.Don't youdarecompare me to the Bats! I got more style, more brains!I'm certainly a better dresser!If you know what's good for you, don't take away my smile or laughter. This ended up happeningone timewhenthat womanizing piratedid...somethingto me after I trieddiscipliningHarley in front of him.I didn't like it.Better than Sex: Honestly, bringing laughter and smiles to everyone is more pleasing than sex.Ain't nobody got time for that!Beware the Silly Ones: Especially if the silly one in question happens to be me.You try to cross me, and, well... let's just saymy joy buzzerisgonna set off the sprinklers.Big Bad: Usually in adaptations, but not so much in the comics. After all, why let others have all the fun?Big Badass Rig: If you want to make an impression on the streets of Gotham, size really does matter. It also has plenty of trailer space in case you need to bring along your bazooka. You may call it overkill, I call it defensive driving.Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: Okay, so some of my insults can be a bit juvenile, but that's only because it'sfunnyto call Bat-Brain a big 'ol guano-head.Black Comedy:I like my comedy like I like my coffee; big, black, andsurrounded by corpses.I almost did this with some little tykes afterthe earthquake, but decided against it.I ended up shooting Jimmy's wife instead.It... wasn't as funny as I was hoping.Black Eyes of Crazy: Because of some changes done inmy next DCAU incarnation, I got these with white irises.Bloody Murder: According to good ol'Grant, I've spent so much time taking my own baaaaaaad drugs that my blood itself is a lethal venom! As sweet little Damian found out when he tried to get some payback.You see, kiddies, violent revenge just makes things worse, even if it feels good at the time.Blue-and-Orange Morality: \"Right\"? \"Wrong\"? Gee, where do they come up with this stuff? All that'sreallyimportant is if it'sfunny!Blunt \"Yes\":I can't believe Harley had to be toldshe was supposed to \"Fill the tank, shoot the guy, and drive off\". Her words, not mine.Body Snatcher: Yes. I've even managed to pull this off inmy comeback appearanceinBatman Beyond. I lost my old body thanks toTim Drake turning against me. Ungrateful kids; you teach them everything you know and then they turn around and stab you in the back! Or in my case the chest. Fortunately, I had ensured my immortality long before this inconvenience thanks toa little genetics micro chip I had planted on Little J during his time in my care. Unfortunately, my comeback was thwarted thanks to that Bat-Fake old Brucey was grooming.Bodyguard Babes: I've had a few of these every now and then, let's see...There was that topless female Nazi transsexual bodyguard Bruno I had inAll Star Batman and RobinandBatman: The Dark Knight Returns.(Well,maybe you should read them, she's hard to describe...)Harley actually made a pretty good one inJoker(and she wasthe way I liked her then -- quiet).Bomb Throwing Anarchist: Oh come on, you can't tell meyou'renot amused by the oddexplosionor two.Bored with Insanity: Every once in a while I feel like playing the straight man, especially when 'ol Batsy isn't around to fill the role.Boring Insult:A pet peeve of mine. I put a lot of effort into my work, and then Bat-Fake comes along and tells me I'm not funny.I'll show him. I'LL SHOW THAT IMPUDENT BRAT JUST WHO HE'S TALKING TO!*throws grenades*Sorry, lost my head there for a moment.Bowdlerise: Can you believe they wouldn't let me shoot thosekarate guysin the face? Well, not on screen anyway... And it's not just that, but those darnedMedia Watchdogswouldn't let me shoot people with a spear gun but with alaughing gas guninBatman Beyond: Return of the Joker, all thanks to that shoot out inColumbineHigh School in Littleton, Colorado, in April 1999. (Hey, evenIwasn't involved in that Columbine massacre; blame it on theAbusive Parentsof Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris.) Heck, they even replacedmy beingImpaled with Extreme Prejudiceby the spear guninthe original versionwithanother death scene of mineinthe version made for kiddie TV and used on the first DVD version:when I gave little Timmy my laughing gas gun and told him tomake ol' Batsy \"one of us\"with it; instead, the little brat punched me in the face, knocking me into a tank of water near electrical wiring, where I got up and tried to get rid of him but I slipped and accidentally turned on the electrode machine and gotzapped like a bug... complete withmy horrific death scream!Which, come to think of it, is rather...shockingNightmare Fuelfor kidsand more violent compared to my original death scene! Sheesh, who can blame them?Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: C'mon you didn't think I'd miss out on this comedy goldmine, did ya?Take for example this little exchange I had with one of thoseopera clownsin an issue ofStuporman & Batbrain Magazine:Me:Do you juggle?Pagliaccio:No.Me:Blow balloons?Pagliaccio:No.Me:Synthesize nerve gas?Pagliaccio:No.Me:Not much of a clown then, are you? *Thud*And here'sone part of minewhen I thought Bat-Jerk broke hisOne Ruleby killing the muscleman Bane with his bare hands (he didn't, of course, but only temporarily stopped his heart with the Shock Gloves, but still...):Me:Well, I'd love to stay and celebrate your victory, but I've got stockings to stuff,mistletoe to hang\u2014 and about fifteen skyscrapers to blow up before sunrise. Ciao.Break the Comedian: EvenIhave my limits \u2014 just likewhen Anton Arcane went on a warpath! Even I wasn't laughing!Break the Haughty: I feel like one of my main goals in life is to get Bats to at least giggle. (Well, notthat punk, anyway.)Break Them by Talking:Remember that one bit inThe Dark Knight? With Harvey Dent and that saucy little nurse's uniform? That was a good one.I turned Gotham's White Knight into a murdering psychopath!And no, of course I wasn't afraid he'd pull the trigger. I'm crazy, remember?Okay, sothat impudent kid who thought he was a replacement Batsygave me one inBatman Beyond: Return of the Joker. There, I admit it. Happy now?He called me unfunny!Who did that snot-nosed brat think he was talking to?!After a full year ofenjoyingmyunique brand of hospitality, this eventually got topoor little Jason Todd....but on the bright side,he came out of it surprisingly well adjusted!....ormaybenot.Too badit didn't take...Or how that alternate me madeSuper-nutsgo cuckoo inInjustice: Gods Among Usby tricking him into killing his wife and making Metropolis go kablooey? He turned Metropolis' Man of Steel into a raving maniac like I did topoor ol' Harv! What did I say? All it takes is justone bad day!Breaking the Fourth Wall: If you're only just figuring it out... well, let's just say you're no Batman.Breakout Villain: Somemeddlingby the aforementioned Whitney Ellsworth, way back in 1940, spurred me on mymeteoric rise to famefrom atwo-shot villainto theBig Badyou know and fear with every fiber of your being today. Hey, the fellaknew a good ideawhen he saw it - this was thegeniusbehindSuperpup!Break the Badass: My actions have done this to the toughest of heroes. And of course, if the chips are down low enough and even I stop laughing... It'sa signwe're allin trouble...YIPPIEE!!!Break the Cutie: Averted. As rough as I can be on Harley girl, I just brought out her pre-existing crazy! When I torture her it's just to get a few good laughs at her expense.Bright Is Not Good: What can I say, I'm one of the most colorful characters in all of comics. But I'll kill you and your whole family for fun without a second thought.Bullying a Dragon: Some of attempts to tangle withthe Big Blue Boyscoutdon't end well. He is hailed asthe planet's greatest hero for a reason, lots of reasons actually. On his good days he's as smart as Batsy on top of hispowers.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Oh, I got quite the resume - chemical expert, demolitions expert, weapons expert, and just murderous psychosis in general, but as my fans know, I'm actually a very talented clown when I want to be, the kind of comedian *yawn*regularpeople enjoy, the types who just don't get my A-game material. I don't do it very often though, because it's just so...NORMAL, and who wants that? *blows raspberry*Cain and Abel: The me onGothamhas a twin brother and naturally someone as quirky as I isthe Abel.Wait, what?I thought I was Jerome!? Hang on...am I thegoodtwin? That's...HILARIOUS! Granted, I'm not much better.Calling Card: Take a wild guess.Can't Un-Hear It:invokedYou've been reading this page inMark Hamill's orHeath Ledger's or evenJack Nicholson's Joker voice, haven't you?HAVE YOU NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE OTHERS WHO PLAYED ME!!!Oh, who am I kidding, it's not like any one of 'em weren't the best portrayals of little old moi.Captive Audience: What's the point of killing Batman or one of his sidekicks if nobody's there toseeit?Cardboard Prison: Arkham's a great place to kick back and relax for a while, and it's never too hard to get out and about when I feel like a stroll through the guts of Gotham's gentry. Then again, that time I took over the place, that was glorious.Card-Carrying Villain: Is it so wrong that I take pride in making a good joke?Car Fu: Once ran over a woman while reporting it to the police with a tied up Robin in the car. Did I mention this was Christmas time!Catchphrase: While I'm certainly not clich\u00e9 enough to use the same material again and again, it seemsthat classic linefromHeathyhas become my unofficial motto: \"Why so serious?\" Hey, if it sticks, it sticks! (Just so long as I get a cut ofall that glorious T-shirt revenue...)Characterization Marches On: In my first appearances, the only real quirk I had was an association with a certain playing card \u2014 I was just a straight-forward, humorless murderer and thief who merelygrinned alot, rather than thecomedy-obsessed and alwayslaughingmaniac you all know and love today! And I gotta say, boy howdy have I come a long way! Heck, according tothat bald Scot, my ever-changing personality is another facet of my being...ahem...differentlysane.The Chessmaster: TheDC Rebirthevent reveals thatthere's room forthreeof me in their new universe! Specifically,that really old one from the Golden Age, the one that Alan Moore made, and that one Jim Starlin had kill Jason, withBatman: Three Jokersconfirms it's this trope. Oh,Multiple-Choice Past, you haveneverlet me down!To the point that you'd think I'd move onto checkers already.\u25caLiterally, too. You're looking at one of the only 2 people (the other being Bane) to ever beat Ra's al Ghul at a game of chess.noteHe said it was my ability to switch between different strategies so quickly. Like they always say, nobody can predict me.Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: I was last seen busted by a SWAT team after my little \"social experiment\" failed at the end ofThe Dark Knight, and didn't even getmentionedinThe Dark Knight Risessimply because that damnHeath Ledgerpunk bit the dust before TDK was even released! Maybe that also has something to do with the Dollmaker ripping my face off (seePut on a Busfor some more on that little incident, my pretties).Clear Their Name: Wouldn't you know it? I'm on the \"their\" list, andThe Joker: Devil's Advocaterevolves around the whole plot: I was arrested, tried, and condemned to die for the poisoned stamps incident that I insisted that I wasn't involved with. I asked the Dork Knight to save my life, hoping that Bat-Head would find the real perpetrator for the poisoned stamps and clear my name.And surprisingly,it worked, just when I was mere seconds away from execution by the electric chair!What a lucky clown I was, just lucky to be alive... in jail again, knowing that at least my name was now in the clear. But still... LUCKY!!!Cold-Blooded Torture: Hey, everyone needs a hobby!I'veactuallycreated a couple of new villains this way. Okay, sometimes I come to regret it, but at least it keeps life interesting!Cold Ham: Surprised? I love the drama and the spotlight, but while many mes love the wild laughs, sometimes I give subtlety a try. For example,the version of me from thatGothamshow. You thought it was Jerome\u2026? HA! NO! Turns out I was his twin brother the whole time! Jerry turned Jerri into me! Soft-spoken sure, but still dramatic.* Collective Identity:Combat Pragmatist: A few notable examples include beating unarmed enemies with a crowbar, setting hungry dogs on them, spraying various unhealthy substances in their faces, trying to kick the Dork Knight in the ribs with a knife that came out of my shoe \u2014 and who could forget the time when Ihopped myself up on Titan? Though I tried to get Batboy a chance there, but he refused.Combat Sadomasochist: Now, don't look at me like that. You'd be surprised at how good a true expert in pain can make you feel. As I once toldLexy, \"pain is my one true love\". (Sorry, Harl!)Comedic Sociopathy: Youknowyou love it. I certainly do!Complete Monster: I will concede that I'm not very nice. But it seriously justdepends on which work I appear in. See myreeeaaaallylong list of thrillin' accomplishments and misdeeds. Apparently, you here on this site find me pretty bad \u2014 so much so that the only folks you say are worse than me on more occasions arethe cardinal vampireandOl' Scratchthemselves! I\u2019m not at all angry \u2014 I feel honored! Eeeheeheeheehee!Complexity Addiction: It's just more fun than just shooting him!Composite Character:In \"Batman: Speeding Bullets\", I used to beLexybefore being thrown at the vat of chemicals. Now isn't there alreadysomeone like that?In the80's film, I coincidentally happened to be the one who killed Brucey's parents. Listen, I was just a kid when I did that. How was I supposed to know that I made him before he made me? When I said \"I made you\", Bat-brain's gotta say \"You made me\". How childish could he get? ...And apparently, hewouldhit a guy with glasses. Sometimes I just kill myself!Confusion Fu: In case it hasn't sunk in yet,I'm crazy!No one can ever predict what I'm about to do...sometimes, not even me!Consulting a Convicted Killer:That version of me over inBattinson's corner of the multiverseonce gave his expert opinion onEddie'slittle tantrum. Sadly, my incredible Hannibal Lecter impression was cut from the silver screen, but the hacks behind the picture were smart enough to release it as a standalone short.Wasn't the first time, either. InChild of Dreams, Bats decided to visit me at Club Arkham, interested in my opinion of the plague of plagiarists hitting Gotham. Wasn't able to help much, but I did pass on a request to kindly kill the kook who bogarted my handsome mug.Cop Killer: If you're one of \"Gotham's Finest\" and you see me, skedaddle! If ol' Batsy can barely keep up with me, what chance doyouhave? If you don't believe me, let's stroll down Memory Lane together...Scarecrow and Itook out a SWAT teamby blowing them up andI blew out Sarah Essen's brains.In bothThe Dark KnightandBatman: Arkham Origins, part of the reason Jimmy takes over as Commissioner is due to me killing Gil Loeb. Regardingthe latter's series,the first gamealso saw several of Arkham's guards slaughtered by my gang or even myself.The alternate reality Batgirl seen inZero Hour: Crisis in Time!hailed from a world where I opted to kill Jimmy instead of crippling Barbara.In my intro inInjustice: Gods Among Us, I use a cop I killed as a puppet, and in the main story, I presumably killed the cop whose body I talk to in my chapter.The Corrupter: Because madness is like gravity, and as you know, all it takes is a little push. Heck, I really madeDetective Bennett,Super-freak,Harvey DentandBirdbrainlose control and go nuts!!CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: One time (inLast Laugh)I got beaten to the point of death by Nightwing (because the rumors of little Birdbrain becoming lunch to Killer Croc had pushed Nighty'sBerserk Buttontoo far) until my heart stopped beating! Almost gave up the ghost, too! Fortunately, Batsy showed up just in time to resuscitate poor old moi by CPR in order to keep Nighty from stooping down to my level as a murderer. Within a few minutes, I returned to life again! Once again, LUCKY!!!Crazy-Prepared: You think old Bats always has a contingency plan for each and every occasion? Trust me, I got him beat in that little competition.Create Your Own Villain:In a few incarnations, old Batsy had a hand in my origin. Makes it more delicious wouldn't you say? Sometimes I invert the trope myself by being the one that made poor little Bruce an orphan, such as in my first movie appearance. Heck, I evenlampshadedit!I suppose I was also responsible for the birth ofthe Phantasmand the deaths of my old mob gang.Creepy High-Pitched Voice: Lots of actors do this kind of voice for me. Hamill for sure, and all those other guys who tried to imitate his performance, ha! Ledger did something similar too, and even Richardson, who had a very deep voice, couldn't resist raising his voice sometimes! Chances are, you still hear some of them in your head. I knowIdo, hahaha!Crossover: I've metSpider-Manat least twice,but he didn't remember me the second time,\u25caeven when I flashed my bestwinning smile!Maybe there was a littlediscontinuityinvolved, maybe it was becauseour realities were out-of-whack,or maybe theSpider-ManI metwasn'tthe same one. With all that goes onover there,who knows WHO was under that mask? I was also aDark Judgefor a bit too, but constantly killing the living got boring after a while.Cry for the Devil: Hey, I never asked for sympathy, and I don't expect it! Still... It's amazing whatone bad daycan do to a person...Cute Kitten: \"Cute Kitten\"?! How should I know? I don't remember Catwoman ever reproducing.Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Are you kidding? Merely selling thatflying saucertoNASAwould have been soboring! And I wouldn't have sold it to the Soviets, in case you were thinking that. As I told thatRed Skullfellow, I'm anAmericancriminal lunatic. In one of theWorld's Fineststories, I teamed up with theTrope Namerand started a factory that made mechanized men to do jobs that are too dangerous for real people. All just to distract Supes and Bats whileLexyand I robbed something.Dance Battler: Hey, I might not be a roided-up gorilla like Bat-Breath, but I got my own fighting skills to fall back on. The PlayStation 3-only DLC forBatman: Arkham Asylumshows that I'm mastered in a combination ofCapoeira,Drunken Boxing,and lethal novelty toys! In fact, I've been pretty good at it ever sincethe time that I fought my tormentors in a very graceful way in the Comedy Club\u00e0 laA Clockwork Orange, complete with somersaulting and leap frog!Well... at least that's what my mind perceived it to bewhile I was speaking with the Doc who would be dear ol' Harley at Blackgate Prison, anyway.Dark and Troubled Past:Which one?I've got so many of these that even I can't keep 'em straight!Darker and Edgier: SinceFrankie. Some missthe old mewhen I was played by Cesar - just ask Eddie in \"When Is A Door\". He missed me not killing people. Isn't that sweet?Dartboard of Hate: That poster of Bats was really too good for me \u2014 the animated me \u2014 to resist! And I was pretty upset in that series...Deadline News:Howol'Jacky Boy'sversion of me likes to advertise mouthwash that'll give you\"hair color so natural, only your undertaker will know for sure!!\"HAHAHAHAHAA!!!Breaking news,this just grin!Deadly clouds of Joker Toxinspread across six continents!Billions diein horrendous agony!Wife's guts,wife's guts,wife's guts,WIFE'S GUTS!!!....and now, here's Chuckwith the weather.How's it look out there, Chuck?Deadly Gas: Joker venom's one hell of an audience killer.Deadly Prank: Mymodus operandi.Deadpan Snarker: Maybe, maybe not. You know what I mean?It-it's almost like there are dark forces conspiring against me, twisting me like a puppet on a string...Naaaah!Dead Sidekick: People tend to focus on that one time I killed one of Batsy's kids.And it didn't even take!How's that for gratitude?Deal with the Devil: Ah,the nineties.While other villain-y sorts wasted their souls on dumb stuff likearcane powerorcraploads of green,I put what little I had to good use:a box of Cubans.Oh, ya shoulda seen ol' Neron's face.Death by Adaptation: Oh please, even when I am \"killed\",Ialwaysmanage to return. ALWAYS!Well,except for that one night back in the '80s.And that little incident over at Arkham City.And that time I triedadopting Batman's little bird as one of my own...Let's just move on, shall we?Death Dealer: I'm always a card, but sometimes I like using them as throwing weapons too! What better way to show off some style than by slicing a man with razor-sharp metal playing cards? You can always be sure I have an extra one or two up my sleeves, too...Death Is Cheap: Oh sure, the J-man's been in a few scrapes now and then, but rest assured, they love me too much to let me stay in the big down under.Death Seeker: Played up moreso in my scene-stealing appearances inThe Dark KnightandBatman: Arkham Origins. I'm a horrible, despicable person surrounded by horrible, despicable people I won't hesitate to murder for giggles. Or simply because they're in my way! Or maybe just because it's Tuesday! It's Guano-Man's absolute refusal to give sociopaths like me what we deserve that starts my fixation with him.Demoted to Dragon:In the show with the action figuresI got to be theBig Badin one season, until I used made aVillain: Exit, Stage Leftafter my plans were thwarted an ending withthe rockhead. I got vaporized after I insulted him, but later he brought me back and turned me intoone of his lackies. Not one of my best days, working for thegod of tyranny and evil.Demoted to Extra:Injustice 2. Since the game focuses solely on the Regime universe, and the me over there is dead, my only appearance in the story mode is during a hallucination caused by Scarecrow's fear gas. What a ripoff! It's boycott time, my adoring fans!Depending on the Artist: Some artists, like Neal Adams and Jim Aparo, give me a long pointed chin, while others, such as Marshall Rogers, gave me a square one. I'm sometimes lean and mean, while other times I'm of average build. Some depict mylovely smileas beingstuck on my face, while others have me capable of showing... other emotions. Gotta admit, having the grin cut into my mouth so I can make two expressions at once, that worked out decently enough.Depending on the Writer: So tell me. Am I a harmless prankster, a homicidal maniac, a hostage to momentary whims, or a chessmaster capable of constructing elaborate plans? All these and more, at various times. (The current official theory is that I'm so mentally unstable my brain turns right over every now and again, and I become insane in a whole new way. ThatGrant Morrison, what a kidder.)My ability to give people the ol' one-two also flip-flops between authors. In some cases Batsy takes me down in one punch, while other authors write me as being able to kickGrayson'srear into next Tuesday without breaking a sweat! Gotta giveScott Snyderprops for that.Despair Event Horizon: You ever have a bad day? I mean... areally bad day?!Ha. Aha. AHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!Diabolical Mastermind: No joke.Just because I'm kooky doesn't mean I'm not a genius.Didn't Think This Through: Okay, so I made a mistake the first time I dealt with thatflying do-gooderwhen I thought hiding hostages in lead coffins would make it hard for him to find them in time, because, you know, he can't see through lead.All it did was make it EASIER for him to find them, since they stood out more. At least Lexysaw it coming...Didn't We Use This Joke Already?: Sadly, a joke is never as funny the second time, so I try not to repeat myself. Believe it or not, I came close to telling old Batsone I'm sure everyone remembersinBatman: Arkham Asylum, but I caught myself:Me:There were these two guys in a lunatic asylum...Oh hell, you've heard that one before, haven't you?Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: I don't know how Lex has such a hard time withthat boring, blue-suited boy scoutwhen he has so much more money and kryptonite than me. But you don't need much of the latter to put Supes in his place,right, Batsy?Die Laughing: Itrynot to repeat myself, but sometimes there's just no substitute for the old tried-and-true Joker Venom to put a smile on people's faces for the rest of their lives.Disguised in Drag: Hey, if you hadmy figure, wouldn't you be looking opportunities to flaunt it in a slinky dress? And you gotta admit, I make one deadsexynurse!Disney Villain Death: Heck, I've probably subverted this one as many times as Ol' Walt's boys played it straight.Disproportionate Retribution: People keep saying I go into this, but I don't know why. A henchman who refuses to fork over the money he owes me when he loses a twenty-dollar bet on the World Series should beclubbed to death with a bunch of bananas(Note to self: takes too long. Use plantains instead). Anyone who woulddaredeny me first prize in a comedy competition just because I never actually entered itdeserveto be mind controlled into becoming D-List criminals. And all those people who claimed that I couldn't legally trademark the fish that I arranged to grin like me seriously had it coming. Honestly, what's so disproportionate about all that?Duringmy trip to Jump City, I decided to put Beast Boy through weeks of torture after hearing an action figure of the brat say \"Dude, I'm the king of jokers.\"Dissonant Laughter: It's only dissonant if you don't get the joke.Why doesn't anyone get the joke?!Does Not Like Spam: So I don't care for Hostess Fruit Pies. Is that so hard to believe?Raisins are gross.Harley, I don\u2019t want pudding with raisins in it!Domestic Abuse: I resent the accusation. After all, Harl always comes back!Do Not Adjust Your Set: I've done this more than once. A showman like me always works better with an audience.Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Imagine how boring a battle with Superjerk would be if I didn't let him know I kidnapped thatIntrepid Reporterhe's always hanging around with.Don't Explain the Joke: Ihateit when people do this! If you have to explain a joke,there IS no joke!I can't even tell you how many times I've had to explain that to dear Harley....And if you notice with my little show in Vegas,I wasn't too thrilled with having to tell the camera men how Bats was \"getting warm\" because he was near a volcano. Sure they pathetically tried to laugh afterwards, but I told 'em that was enough. No one likes a brown-nose. But hey, that's the downside of comedy, you're always taking shots from folks who just don't get the joke! Like them,maybe my dad, or Batman.Do Wrong, Right: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bane, you big-headed lunk! Seriously?!Killing Bratman's butler in front ofRobin!Over the phone!And you call yourself a genius. NOT! If you really wanted to hurt Batsy, you would have done the smart thing and, oh gee, I don't know,snap the butler's neck in FRONT of Batman!Maybe those WB execssucked your brain dryworse thanDr. Young when she used your blood to make all that Titan!Stick to your second best corner and leave the position of Batman's first\u2014and ONLY\u2014Arch-Enemyto me, got it there big boy?The Dreaded: Like good old Batboy, I even scare the pants off of those who are far more powerful than myself. Some at the beginning believe me to be beneath their notice,but they soon learn.Dressing as the Enemy: Nope, this one's not just for the good guys, kiddies!If you're wearing a police uniform, no one really worries that you're standing near the mayor holding a shotgun.Drop the Hammer: I'm nothunder godbut someone taught Harley how to swing a hammer!Drives Like Crazy: Vehicular is my 11th favorite form of homicide!Just ask that sorry excuse for a clownwith the ice cream truck!Due to the Dead: Seen a few ideas on what to do with my body when I die.One example is that afterthe little bird-brained brat offed me, I could watch from the afterlife how Jimmy's little girl and Batsy were at least kind enough to give my body a decent burial deep within Arkham Asylum... unaware that I had implanted a microchip on little Timmy beforehand so that I could continue wreaking havoc after 40 years... until Bat-Fake, that is! Ahhh, such a simple time.Another example is that afterI finally croaked from the Titan disease, I again watched from the afterlife as Commissioner Jimmy secretly kept watch over my corpse for two weeks, and then, after that Bat-Brain somehow survived my remaining traps, they showed me the kind favor of burning my body to get rid of it! Oh, well... it was fun while it lasted... Unless I somehow reincarnate in a different form. You never can tell when I may be coming back elsewhere, you know.Dystopia Justifies the Means: A world without rules, baby!Edible Bludgeon: I tell you, death by bananas is an absolute riot! Unfortunately, beating someone to death with a bunch of bananas can also take all night. Plantains make a much better weapon. I also taughtlil' Andiea thing or two aboutkillerbologna!Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: \"Vertet\", actually.Ooh la la!Electric Joybuzzer: It sure left ashockingimpression onAntoine.But remember kids, always exercise caution when using these things, or you might, oh I don't know \u2014fall into a waterfall and electrocute yourself to death, say? But that'd just becrazy.Not to mention that they can be used to fry a microchip that allows you to inhabit a body. On the other hand,it does make an excellent instant Joker, Jr...Electric Torture: Making people glow like Christmas trees is a wonderful use of electricity.Ain't that right, Bats?\u25caEmpowered Badass Normal:During my reign asEmperor Joker, after stealing the powers of that imp. I becameomnipotentduring that time andreshaped the world in my image. Good times.There's alsothat timeI borrowed Banesy's venom and became as buff as him. I evenimproved it into a variant called Titan, which I also used on myself.Enemy Mine:I'm as shocked as you are! When myBatman: The Brave and the Boldincarnation made his first appearance, he actuallyjoined forceswith Batsy in order to take downOwlman, mainly because he just wasn't as much fun. In the end, he made a smart move and joined forces with the alternate double, but not before telling Bats that he tried to be good. That better not be signs of medecaying, otherwise I might need tohave a little chitchat with those writers...Oh, I should have trusted the writers more. I got to kill the Bat nine times!On a show for children!Teaching the Bat just how gut-bustingly funny and stupid he can be normally is and should be a personal affair. But whenthe Bat himselfcomes with an offer to share the stage, well, there's just no way I could say no! Especially whenthat loser that somehow managed to infringe both our trademarksgets involved!Enemy Within: My whole role inArkham Knight! That strong dose of Me-Blood I injected ol' Fatman with left a wholebunchof me in him. And thanks to good ol' Crane's toxins, I get to spend the whole game taunting him about how I'm taking control of him, making him relivehorriblestuffI did to his Bat-buddies, and almost took control of him!... Almost... Damn Scarecrow.Equal-Opportunity Evil: Despite what those memes thatused to be funny before being co-opted by actual racistsimply, I don't discriminate in anything regarding race or gender (I'd be beating Harley just as much if she was a dude), and anyone who does isno laughing matter in my book. Even I'm sickened by that Red Skull guy.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: I just don't get it!! I shout at her, I even give her a shiner and a love tap or ten, but that dame Harley just keeps coming back for more.... (sulks off to corner) I do love ya babe!! I just can't change who I am...(Wipes tear) Please forgive me.....Hahahahahaha!!Just kidding, I've done this to other dames about 10 times, don't tell her though.What, you think I do this because I don\u2019t want her to leave? Well, maybe, maybe not. I guess I never thought about it.I hate to say it, but the truth is that it's really the case with ol' Batsy. When I have killed him, or thought I did, I'm always sent into a deep depression due to losing all purpose in life. I really can't live without him, but that doesn't mean I won't keep him entertained!Even Evil Has Standards: Strap in, kids, this is gonna getlong!I pride myself on being aclassypsychopath.I may be a criminal lunatic, but I'm anAMERICANcriminal lunatic! When Ifound out\u25cathatRed Skullfellow was a Nazi, I turned on him, right then and there. And don't talk about that selling-nukes-to-Arabs thing.Fanon Discontinuity, plain and simple, got it?!Funny thing \u2014 to other villains,I'mbelow their standards (perhaps that would make me theSpear Counterpartto ol' Jimmy, if I'm to believe thatDick Flass). Well, phooey! I didn't want their help, anyway...For reasons of good taste,Joel Schumacherwasn't invited to myHouse Party at Arkham Asylum.In hindsight, maybe I was a tad too harsh on him. The suits at the studio didstick their noses in too damn much.Oh yes, and there was that one time I met thatWarren White guy in the showers, pointing out that while I kill people, I don't steal their kids' college funds \u2014 but knowing me, I probably just said that to get under his skin. Of course, now White looks like a dried up tuna, and is just as nutso as the rest of us. Like I always say, all it takes is one... bad... day...And don't even get me started onthatlunatic of a\"hero\"who keeps ripping off my style!That guy makes ME look sane! I don't even want tothinkabout whatthe blue onecould do...If there's one thing I won't stand for, it's poor customer service!Now, look, my rude friend. We can't have people cursing at each other on the freeway. It's simply not polite. I'm just going to have to teach you some manners.And don't even get me started on those Aryan thugs in Blackgate \u2014 there's being a murderer, there's being anextravagant murderer, but those guys are just plainmean, not a funny bone in their body (also relates back to what I said to Red Numbskull.)For some reason,killing Jimmy's wife duringNMLin front of all those babieswasn't as funny as I thought it would be. Whatwasfunny is thatJimmy shot me in the knee for it, because it took me a second to figure out it wasjustlike what I did to his daughter! Good one, Commissioner!As for thatred, gooey psychopath, well, he's right in that everything is a nihilistic joke, but I have style, andhisstandard of mass mayhem isn't up tomystandard. As I told him, I'mOrson Welles, he'sDavid Hasselhoff. I dunno, maybe he should tryGermany. Again, 'probably should keep away from Numb Skull, too. And if I'm being honest, the whole\"watching as their skin peels offso we can eat it\"is justgross.Don't get me wrong, I love a little recreational torture, but cannibalism and watching human flesh melt was never really my style. I'm more of an artistic killer than anything else.Even I'm not dumb enough to mess with theIRS. I'malreadycrazy enough to take on Batsy, thank you. Though I'm not above using the IRS toarrest Bruce Wayne for tax evasion.The new calmer me lets the Gotham PD evacuate the city before I start my big plan.No sense in letting the people die while I have my fun. Unusual? Yes, but sometimes, your Unca J is in a good mood.Let\u2019s not forget about that sick, disgusting excuse for a mayor! I mean, stealing a city blind is something I can admire... but being mean to one's own daughter... that just makes my blood boil.I will NOT work with The Batman Who Laughs. I mean, sure, the idea sounds fine in paper, but in practice... ecch. Biggest waste of potential ever, trying to fill both my and Batsie's shoes and failing to reach either's standards. Honestly, it's cute he thinks he's still a threat after his big bad bud got sent to the great Recycling Bin between realities, but let's not kid ourselves. I remember when Killer Moth wasn't a punchline, and trust me, one of these days, Mister Edgelord McEdgeface's gonna find himselfbeggingfor a guest appearance at a kid's birthday party! (Though, I did do that with one of thebig red cheese's friendsonce upon a time.)As the trailer forZack Snyder's Justice Leagueshows, I find no joy in the Knightmare timeline.Just because I like to raze Hell in Gotham doesn't mean I wanna destroy the planet. If Earth dies because of pollution, how can I have any fun? For long term fun,I put a deposit on the purchase of an Electric Car from WayneTech. That being said,when that idiot limey Scarecrow unmasked Batman, and revealed he's the punk who runs Wayne Enterprises, since the car was delayed, I couldn't not interrogate Brucie on the delay. Like I said, If there's one thing I won't stand for, it's poor customer service!No,Jimmy,killing dogsisn't funny. At least not when Supesis already a dumb animal.In my delightful contribution to theart of rapagainst thatsewer-dwelling freak, I make itabundantlyclear that if there's one thing I will NEVER find funny, it's media that sexualizes children. Kill them? Sure, it's a free country! Butanything more explicit?Noooo, thank you! Never thoughtI'dbe the one to say this, but ol'Stevie-boyneeds help.Me:Tell your author for his next gang-bang sceneHow about a little more PG and alotless 13?!Even I wouldn't stoop to that kind of impropietyThis is Earth, you space demon!We live in a society!Every Scar Has a Story: Or in my case,a good half-dozen each.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Averted! I can damn well understand the good guys if I please. Even been one just a couple of times. It's just that it'sout-of-your-skull boring. Though, for the life of me, I can't understand why Batsy doesn't get the joke...Eviler than Thou:Carnage? Puh-leeze!The guy is an uninventive, style-less dunderhead! Like I told himthat one timewe met:\"Any idiot, nothing personal of course, can go out and slaughter a few thousand people, but where's the laughter and tears? The handstands and histronics? In short, my dense and sanguine pal... where's the theater?\"Thatsorry excuse for a clownwith the ice cream truckhad the right idea, but he seriously needed to loosen up. Last I saw, he was smiling more than ever!Thatothersorry excuse for a clownwho eats kids and turns into a giant spiderthought he was all hot stuff before I showed him how much of a wannabe he really is. As I put it to him...When I compare your antics to the fiendish schemes I revel in,They pale likethe moonlight you can dance with the devil in!That one stud with the metal armsremarked that I makeKanolook like an angel! And even Kanohimselfcan't stand me!Evil Eyebrows: They're marvelous, aren't they!?Evil Feels Good: Does it ever!Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: Aw, come on! I've got agreatsense of humor! It's not my fault if not everyone can appreciate it!WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE GET THE JOKE?!!Batman:Because I've heard it before, and it wasn't funny the first time.Evil Is Hammy: Well, where's the fun in having inhibitions?Evil Is One Big, Happy Family:It certainly is\u25ca. We got even happier when we decided to have a kid.Evil Is Petty:Petty?You snobbish little punk,I'llKILLya for that one! Oh, I kid.Still, that \"report card incident\" has gottena lot more mileagethan I expected....In my debut inthat Dini guy'sclassicBatman: The Animated Series, I went through one of my patented convoluted plots, nearly ruined Christmas for Gotham, kidnapped ol' Jimmy Gordon, that fat buffoon and that annoying reporter lady, all to... trick Batman into opening a present with a springloaded pie in it. Not a poisoned pie, or an acid pie, just a regular cream pie. Hey, it's a classic! We have fun, Batsy and I!Evil Knockoff: What is this world coming to that one of the most beloved icons of murder and mayhem cannot escape this sad pest?Shortly afterJason's extreme massage session, some random Gothamite decided my life philosophy was cool enough to pattern his life after. I'd have been flattered had he not decided to poach in my patch, up to trying tobecomeme and usurp my rightful identity. God, it's so embarrassing to see someone trying so hard and missing the point so badly. He even decided to repeat my famous diving act in the Ace Chemicals vats! On a different note, random fact -do you have any idea of how much more corrosive the chemicals in those vats are nowadays?I suppose that rando who decided to take one of the magic \"become-a-supervillain\" pills inChild of Dreamsalso counts.Pity about the side effects.Evil Laugh: Let's face it, I don't do any other kind. Don't believe me?Here's some of my greatest hits!If you're itching for more (you know you are), try watchingthis. Orthis.Evil Mentor: I've done this more than once. Sometimes I'll take on a sidekick of my own to mimic Batsy and the Boy Blunder, and other times I'll employgood old-fashioned mental tortureto \"persuade\" good people of just how screwed up this world really is. In some stories, I've even turned some of Batsy's allies into villains-namelyHarvey DentandEthan Bennett, in addition to helping Basil Karlo realize that he still had his Clayface powers. Admittedly, I failed withold Jimmy Gordon, but nobody's perfect...Evil Plan: I dabble in everything from the classic robbery to pay the bills toMind Rapefor kicks. Though they usually involve Batsy somehow.Evil Sounds Deep: I usually prefer toinvert this trope, but sometimes I play it straight, like thatblack guy who pops up in everythinginThe Batman(Though he more just randomly jumps up and down an octave every sentence.) andthat alchoholic robot I'd be great friends withinBatman: Under the Red Hood. And don't forget good ol'Jackie N!Evil Twin: Word isthere'resome worldsout there where my counterparts are on the good guys' side. Is that messed-up or what?!Evil Versus Evil: I tussle with the competition all the time! The penultimate issue of my own magazine pit yours truly against ol' Jonathan Crane, for example. The bet, entitled \"The Scarecrow's Fearsome Face-Off\", iswhich of our fearsome weapons is the best, and my laughing gas won out. Ha, that'll teach him.Explosive Cigar: Who says cartoons should have this little gadget all to themselves? 'Course, mine are filled withnaughtierstuff... That said, there's always theDouble Subversiongag... Ah, the memory of the many silly souls pissing themselves in fear of taking the next puff of a common cigar.

And wouldn't you know it,those karate guysfounditparticularly...gut-busting!Eye Scream:The magic trick of making a pencil disappear into a crony's skull, that was all.Care to see for yourself, Pearl?Face Palm: Batman has probably dodged thousands of bullets fired by mymooksover the years. My reaction is usually something likethis\u25ca.Facial Horror:Wouldn't you know, I lost my wholefaceat the start of the New 52. Naturally, I couldn't lose this trademark winning smile of mine, so I ended up stealing it back from the cops and wearing it like a mask, even if it was getting... ripe.Not to worry, though; a little healing factor, and it's back good as new forBatman: Endgame.Depending on how I remember it, I might have gone through something like thiswhen I was younger. It's a long story... Y'see,I was dead, and this Joker-wannabe cut off my handsome face and wore it for an afternoon, but then I came back and, well, had to staple my face back on... I didn't forgive him for ruining my good looks,even if hedidresurrect me... Then again, that was Jerome. His brother Jeremiah, whoismein all but name, did get sprayed in the face with Joker Venom for hisperma-clownlook\u2014and his fall into a vat of chemicals at Ace resulted in a burned face and, aside from stringy patches, most of his hair.Then again, between the chemical bath I take in most incarnations that give me my appearance and theGlasgow GrinI have inThe Dark KnightandJoker, I fall into this, anyway.Then there's thatone universewhere it seems that the chemical bath wasn't so kind to me... althoughapparentlyI was born that way. Either way, the wimps behind the camera apparently decided that this version of my handsome mug was too gruesome to show in full.Fake Crossover: Can you believe it?This one time, that scrawny kidAsh Ketchumdecided to jump out from Poke-land and have at it with me and the boys at a friendly little card game! And that little bratkept winning!It's too bad hedecided to \"fold\" at the end!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Whoops! Just kidding! That was just a little show the studio boys put together for the kiddies watching the old WB Network! Me and Mister \"I Can't Seem To Win a League To Save My Life\"Hmmm? What's that now?Alolan Champion...what!World Champion!HARLEY!Why don't you keep me up to date on these things! I can't pay attention to the competition and try to bump off Fatman you know!never actually crossed paths in either of our respective canons! And good thing too! If it was real, Poke-boy wouldn't have survived the night (Well, maybe not against Croc, seeing as the big lug only knows how to throw rocks at people, but I digress)!Nobody beats me in a game of cards and lives!Oh, and while I'm on the subject!If Ash decides to finally jump on this crazy train and put a page on here,congrats on the retirement, old boy! If you're looking for work, I hear Batsy's hiring out for a new Robin. I might have killed the last one or three, so make sure you have good insurance!Faking the Dead: And a pretty good one at that, too!As part of my backup plan inBatman: Arkham City, I stole one of those\"magic feign-death potions\" that ol' Sharpie had made, and then, while the Bat was fighting off Mr. Hammer, I pulled off aJuliet Capuletby drinking the bottle of it, and then drifted off into slumberland, with Clayface in hiding and dear ol' Harley right by my side. After a few minutes, the potion's effects wore off, and I woke up just in time to find the Dork Knight, knocked out cold by both Clayface and Harl', so I could infect him with my Titan blood. My plan worked like a charm! Bitter irony, though, as I was only hours away from death by Titan poisoning anyway.Falsely Reformed Villain: Every once in a blue moon, usually when the Bat manages to get himself killed, something inside me snaps and I won't be my usual, cheerful self. I might even pass off as being, *gasp*,almost sane! How lucky for me that Batsy never stays down for very long.Fan Disservice: If you've got the pasty white gams (and other things) needed to rocka pair of scale panties\u25ca, I sayflaunt 'em.Faux Affably Evil: Ol'Lexysaid it best: \"Frighteningly sick in the head, but strangely compelling company.\"Flanderization: Sometimes writers portray me as your average psycho serial killer, forgetting I'm supposed to be a FUNNY psycho serial killer. Of course asCharacterization Marches Onshows, I was originally lacking a sense of humor more or less to begin with so it isn't that jarring, all things considered...Flat Scare: Oh yeah, I've pulled this a few times, notably with Vicky Vale inBurton's movie, or on apoor Arkham warden schmuck. You wouldn't believe the effect a little \"boo\" can have when it's coming from me!Flechette Storm: When the writers give me more unusual weapons besides just guns and knives (not that there's anything wrong with that, of course...), razor-edged playing cards are always a perennial standby.Flying Saucer:The Sixties were a strange decade, boys and girls. Of course, withtoday's gas prices, I might as wellwalkto Mars...Forever War:Bats and I are destined to do this forever.Hewon't killmebecause ofsome misplaced sense of self-righteousness, andIwon't killhimbecause he's just toofun!HAHAHAHAHA!For the Evulz: What better reason could there possibly be?Fountain of Expies: Hoo boy, it's harder to find a modern example of aMonster Clownvillain whoisn'tcribbing off little ol' me. Off the top of my head there'sKefka Palazzo(who in turn inspireda jester who played the biggest joke ever onthe Galaxy Far, Far Away), and there's also some nobody calledRakewho stole my looks wholesale and has the brilliant idea to try to backstab the guy or gal who's currently taking down an entire army by themselves, guess how that ends up for him!noteSeriously, they're taking more bullets than Boyscout In Blue does on a good day without going down and you think you can pull that off with just a handgun? Should've just stayed withthose other clowns, at least they brought backup...And people even steal my name too! There can only beoneJoker card in the deck, folks! Really, boys, being a role model for a new whole generation of psychos and lunatics is flattering,but make your own damn material!Meanwhile, thatYuuki Terumifellow (he even went so far as toborrow some of my lines!And my hair color! Cheapskate!noteToo bad for him he has to deal with his own rodent problem of the tree-dwelling variety. Reap what you sow, kiddo!) I do admit, his Hazama vessel is wise on cracking good jokes and messing with people....but he kills it with something calledtoo muchsubtlety. Meanwhile, Terumi's focused on messing up people all the time; he's destroying my audience before they can get the punchline down! That bastard.People who watched thatshort-lived show with Katanasaid that its version of...I think it was Armstrong, not Machin...well, they said he was just a ripoff of me. Personally, I don't see it. I like the whole \"bring about total societal collapse\" deal, but chess really isn't my game. I'm more of a poker player.Fourth-Wall Observer: Don't mind if Iwhistle my owntheme tune. Or glance at the camera in all too many stories. Or chat about the editors. Or write my own article right here, right now.Freak Lab Accident: Classic Origin, of course.

I suppose it would be flattering if he weren't socrazy.I apparently had onecalled the Jester on Earth-3. He's done for now, but he managed to take his versions ofGreenyandBirdbrainwith him!Good Scars, Evil Scars:The version of me played by Heath Ledger has a nice happyGlasgow Grin, instead of my usual permanent smile. Wanna know how I got them?Jacky Nicholson's version of me did it first; a gunshot through both cheeks, a nice dip in my usual chemical bath, some amateur plastic surgery, and voila!Greater-Scope Villain: This is my role inBirds Of Prey. While I only appear in a few crummy flashback sequences in the pilot and I am said to be currently locked away far from New Gotham, I am in a way indirectly responsible for the conflict because I was the one who crippled Barbara and hired someone to kill Helena's mother. There's also the fact that Harley planned to fill in the void I left when I was brought to justice by attempting to become the city's new greatest criminal mastermind.Griefer: You tropers have describedReal LifeinVideo Gameterms, so I guess that means I can describe myself as the greatestGrieferwho ever lived!Groin Attack: It may not be as fatal as a stab or gunshot, but it works, doesn't it?EvenAquamanknows I can deliver a good kick in the pearlswhen given the chance.\u25caHeck, one timeBat-Fake McGinnisdid this by fighting dirty with a knee to my... let's just say... manhood. And not just once,but twice!!! THATreally hurt!Guest Fighter: I paid a visit inMortal Kombat 11, where good oldRichievoices me with my trusty cane! It was so much fun! The blood!! The guts!! The mayhem!!!Outworld'smy kinda place, all right. It was a much more fun experience thanthe last time I stopped by.

I appreciate a good bit of wordplay as much as the next homicidal maniac, but the old purple people eater has nothing on me! I don't recall Clarice Starling everdressing up like a clown and busting him out of jail(which would make him the lucky one...).Happily Married: Wouldn't you know it? I finally tied the knot with dear ol' Harl' in the prequel comic toBatman: Arkham City! In anUnholy Matrimonysort of way, of course.Unfortunately, our marriage was fated not to last for over six months in the game itself thanks to the deadly Titan diseasethat I had inflicted upon myself. Well, you know what they say: \"Till death do us part.\"Happy Dance: What, ya don't likePrince?That man had a great taste inpurple.Happy Fun Ball: That Toyman shmuck ain't gotnothingon yours truly!Harmless Villain:Not always, heh!

I once hijacked some crummy television show to give it,y'know, a reason to watch it, and this no-name manager thought thatonce people start to die,the ratings would blast sky-high! But once the curtains closed, not one chum had a bruise and Batsy took me away like usual...then, I whipped out the plot twist! I was filming their control room, and I slammed down a huge bell-ringer for the crowd!Me: So, who's the real sicko, America? Me, for carrying out this little prank? The producers and executives at the network, who let it all happen \u2014 or is it you people, who mindlessly watched it all on your television sets?Hates Being Touched: My old boss,Salvatore Valestria, found this out the hard way.Hated by All: Everyone's a critic! Apart from my darling Harl', it's like the whole world has a reason to come gunning after me! There's mycharming personality,everything I've done to screw with Batsy, or maybe, just maybe, they find their favorite clown around town to be a bit...scary.But at the end of the day,everybody's out to get me and I feel alright!Haaah-ha-ha-ha!!In fact that's how I get myself in theLegion of Doom- snub me out, and I start spilling blood on every street corner, all of it being ontheirshoulders! What a way to acquit yourself from all charges, eh? Tricksy here gives a frankly flattering summary:Trickster: Great going, Neron, bring in theoneguy no one wants to be in the same room with. When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories.noteWonder if Bane's the one usually tellin' those tales...Oh! And I don't know if ya heard, but I may have...BLOWN UP METROPOLIS INTO SMITHEREENS!AAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!Turns out the whole crowd had nothin' but boos and jeers for that one. EvenBatsy'ssick and tired of my schtick when it's all said and done! Comeon, you lot!Clearly I'd never do such a horrible, terrible thing!noteUnless it's Black Friday. It just gets noisy sometimes, y'know?! But hey, look at the bright side - still got the occasional trampling to look forward to!I figuredthe karate guys that like mutilating each other dailywould have more appreciation for my brand of humor, so I paid a visit to Outworld! Turns out they're even bigger party-poopers than Bats and his crew! Not even ol' helmet-for-brains Shao Can't or the cyclops arms dealer think I'm funny! Comedy is dead in this day and age, I'll tell you what... At leastI don't have the moral guardians holding me back during that little outing!Hate Sink: While I admit I'm not a nice guy, I usually make up for it with mytheatrical flair and sense of showmanship. Though some versions of me do fit this description to a \"T\":The version of me who duped Stupidman into killing his family and blowing up Metropolis counts. Basically every bad thing that happens throughout that universe after his death is all onhimthanks topushingStupes to a differentview on life. Even the other villains from that universe such as Grodd, Brainiac, and even Darkseid hate his guts. Hell,evenHarleyherself wanted to do nothing with him eventually, but she didn't necessarily had to join Fatman and his crew.The version of me fromHarley's showalso counts, or counted, as the case may be before the second season. While he does retain my usual schtick of wanton murder,his treatment of Harleytakes up more focus than usual. Not helping the guy is hisviews regarding women in comedy is also a bit more backwards. Now before I finish this, I want to make it clear that, contrary to that version of meused by gamers, I do not hate women more than I hate men.I hate them both the same amount!That version of meplayed by thatstretchy dog and beer-chugging robotisn't nearly as exaggerated in his schemes as some others, and therefore comes off mostly as despicable instead of impressive.While I skirted by on sheer comedy for most ofBatman: The Animated Series, I had gotten here inBatman Beyond: Return of the Jokerdue to my wonderfully despicable actionagainst a certain boy blunder involving a lot of tortureto the point thatthat goody two-shoes farm boywas uncomfortable reprising his role.Have a Gay Old Time:Laugh at MY boner, will you?!Healing Factor:Batman: Endgamerevealed I had this power. It does explain why I have my handsome face again.The Heckler: Let me be clear, Batsie, whatever other faults he has, is a wonderfulStraight Manand my act would not be the same without him. I consider myself a professionalstand-up comedianand so, even when I should be prepared for them, I cannot stand them. Amateurs likeCharlie Collinsorthat lunatic, the aptly named Creeper, believe they can steal my act unpunished \u2014 and they prove themselves right. I hate them. And please, don't make me talk about thatpunk McGinnis.The Hero DiessoThe Bad Guy WinsAnd Then What?Bored with Insanity!: Those tropes are the plot ofGoing Sane: when I thought Batman was dead, I decided to go on with my life. Could Batsy ever have the guts to renounce being a hero and do that? I'm mad, not stupid.Hero with an F in Good:One version of meactually tried to become a hero, and help Batsy take down the baddies! Maybe. It depended on how nicely he treated me in our interactions together. Sadly, our fleeting partnership didn't work out in the end, thanks to that stupid \"no killing\" rule he wanted me to follow. I mean, honestly, what was he expecting? If we ever team up again, I'm imposing a \"no brooding\" rule, just to see howhelikes not being allowed to do what he's good at!He's Back!: After a year-long absence,I finally brought my happy smile back to Gothamto the horror of everyone in it.I hope Gordon appreciated the dead police officers I left him.Hidden Depths: In the first issue of my tragically short-lived series in the 70's, I tell the guards how irritated I am that the thugs broke Two-Face out of Arkham because they thought he was a better criminal than I. (Preposterous!) The guards ask if I'm going to cry, and I respond with \"That would begrotesque\u2014tears trickling down...\" They don't get it, so I explain \"I was quoting Rostand'sCyrano de Bergerac, illiterate imbecile!\"High-Voltage Death: Part of my plot to exploit myJoker Immunityvia electric chair in exchange for my freedom from being arrested in one storyline (\"The Joker Walks the Last Mile\"). And I even did the same electric chair thing to Batsy as one of theDeath TrapsinThe Brave and the Bold's take onEmperor Joker.Heck, some say I even died like this in the censored version ofBatman Beyond: Return of the Joker, though many objected that it was much,MUCHworse than getting shot at by that Bird-Brain in the uncensored version! Ow.I SERIOUSLY have got to stop playing with that gag during more dangerously-wet situations....Hoist by His Own Petard:My exploding marbles would have been my endif not formy immunity. AndCharlie tried to kill me with one of my own bombs. Oh, the shame of being killed by a nobody instead of dying during a fight with ol' Batsy. And to think I fell for a bluff.Hollywood Acid: Have a little whiff of my posy. Flowery pun, I know, but...Hollywood Psych: According tothe good doctorsin Arkham, I'm not Insane, oh nonono. I am Super Sane! It's likeTourette'sbutmass murdery! Another one of dear Harley'sbright ideas\u2014 fortunately, I managed to get to her just in time, because lunacy like that needs a wider audience.Homoerotic Subtext: It was kinda obvious in theBatman: Arkham Seriesthat I had this subtext for Batsy, albeit wholly one-sided. A lot of these\u2014for example, my monologue to Harley (Harleen, at the time) about how I met someone special who had given my life meaning (though my romantic subtext accidentally seduced her into thinking it was about her), and my rendition of\"Cold, Cold Heart\"inArkham Origins; so many of my voicemails on Bats' cellphone, and other subtextin thePost-Climax Confrontationfrom the Clayface-MeinArkham City\u2014have made me act as ifI'm kinda gay for the Bat-Freak! Rocksteady and WB Montreal have been listening to way too many interviews withGrant Morrisonlately. I'm defending myself, so let me tell you clearly thatI'm not gay!Oh nonononono!Au contraire, the Bat and I areHeterosexual Life-Partnersthrough and through,even 'til my death inArkham City.Understaaaaand?ThoughI do have this burning desire to do away withthat protean Queen Whatevra-Her-Name-Is.Horrifying the Horror:The Trickstersaid it best:\"When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories\"\u25ca.And just to clarify some points about myBatman: The Animated Seriesincarnation...remember how I was seen afraid of Charlie Collins after the reveal about the bomb being a dud?Well,I am not afraid of him!And remember that annoying guy, the Creeper?I am not afraid of him either!And Harley being a Yandere and exclaiming \"Welcome to the club\"?Well, I didn't fear her either.Andlittle Acey?

Well, maybe I gave you this one...I have to admit, I don't like that Batman Who Laughs at all. There's a reason his world was part of the omniversal compost pile. Let's get rid of him permanently for the sake of both Earth-1 andthe readers' enjoyment, shall we?SomeAnarkywannabe posteda comicof me andthat stupid sewer-dwellerbeing horrified byRonald McDonald.

Evenblew upKamandi'searthinThe Teaser!Hoist by His Own Petard: Maybe I should've checked whether or not my attempt to force Batman into his greatest boner was foolproof enough to not wind up becomingOut-Gambitted. For starters, I should've sent Bats and his sidekick into the Atlantic via plane, and not England like I wound up doing. But I certainly didn't count on Bats tracking the signal to my hideout!How the Character Stole Christmas: During that grand year,The Long Halloween. While quoting good ol'Doc Seuss, no less!Humiliation Conga: Less-Than-A-Pennyworthonceoutfenced me and trapped me on a pole-elevator of some sort, zipping up and down, up and down, for five minutes.

People tend to claim thatI'm the best in that category\u25ca, but I've long held the belief that all it takes is one bad day to make anyone just as crazy as I am.Humongous Mecha: Seeing that everyone else was doing it inBatman Ninja, I thought I should join in the fun as well! After all, the bigger the potential audience,noteYes, both the people scrambling to safety as I'm stomping across the countryside as well as the ingrates on the other side of the screen who don't give two hoots about my exploits if you can't spend hundreds of bucks to add the damned thing to your toy collection...the better the comedian!Or so it seemed, seems like that orangutan managed to somehow give me and my partners in crime a hypnotic suggestion of some sort to make us all build our fancy battle-bots that would come together into aCombining Mecha. Too bad for him that they don't show Saturday morning cartoons in the zoo, because he forgot one crucial detail:someone ALWAYS needs to form the head, and since nobody else stepped up to the task, I decided to make that into a small side project of mine, along with the local variant of my lovely toxin to cook up some hypnosis of my own in order to prevent any future arguments on who gets to sit behind the wheel...or what passed for a wheel in this contraption either way, points for finally making a version of chess interesting! How do you like THEM bananas, Bongo? Sadly, since that's how things usually tend to go, NinjaMinus BaseballFatman decided to fight fire with fire and busted up my lovely ride with a giant army of monkeys that somehow combined together into a giant monkey Batsy.Gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming at all, maybe I should visit Japan more often for some new ideas if they could make ol' aero-rodent and his pals pull off something as delightfully off-the-wall as that.The Hyena: It's always a laugh-a-minute around me, especially when the punchline involves a bomb and abusload of orphans. So many happy memories. I do remember some sort ofamalgamatedversion of me with that name, but who can keep track?Identity Impersonator: A good one too!There wasthis one timewhen I had no knowledge of the Bat as of yet, but when I eavesdropped on this Roman Sionis wearing a black mask and taking control of the cops to capture someone who called himself the Bat, I figured that, hey, maybe I should take over Blackie's business. However, Roman knew he and his girlfriend, Tiffany Ambrose, were being watched, so she went to Lacey Towers to call for help, but I gave her the knockdown and tied her to the chandelier. And then a fake guy posing as Black Mask walked in while the real Black Mask was hiding. However, I saw through the trickery and wouldn't be fooled, so I killed the little impostor, then subdued the real Blackie and forced him toMercy Killhis little bitch in exchange for freedom. But that wasn't enough! No. I knocked him out cold, then captured him, placed a frame-up for the murder on the fat Penguin, then posed as the real Blackie and tried to sound like him,but came off more like a mafia gangster. I could then hire eight assassins and send them out to kill the Bat on Christmas Eve so I could give them a Christmas bonus. However, the Bat-Freak soon found me out, and when he confronted me, I tried pretending I wasn't that clown while bringing out the real Blackie. I guess I should have gagged him with duct tape earlier, because the moment I took off his black mask, Blackie became quite a nasty tattle-tale, ratting me out before I had my fun and forcing me to give up the fa\u00e7ade. Papa spank!Another time,over inHarl's book, I convinced aLoony Fanof hers to impersonate me - plastic surgery, acid bath, the whole works - in the hope of winning her over. 'Course, I knew Harl was gonna see right through it soon enough, but that wasn't the point. The point was messing with her for thinking she could get away from me.Idiosyncrazy:Depending on the Writer, my crimes may or may not follow a comedy theme. One of the best things aboutMonkey-Mewas that he was so committed to the whole \"clown\" theme.If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Apparently, this is the only reason Bats hasn't put me down. In some cases, I'm activelytrying to get him to, either to show him we aren't so different or as the ultimate revenge. One of these days.... AHAHAHAHH!! Then again, The Batman Who Laughs resulted from Batsy offing me.If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: I often have my men prove just how evil they are. Sometimes against each other.Ignored Expert:When I joined Lexy's partyand caught Batman, I told him to hurry up and shoot the bat right there. But the so called \"genius\" didn't listen, and look where it got us, Batsy ruined our plan to kill the Justice League and Lexy's plan to kill Supes before he escaped!Ignore the Fanservice: Honestly, I have more important things on my mind than \"revving up my Harley\", as she calls it.Mostof the time...I Just Want to Be Normal: Oh, there was the time I thought Batman was dead and I became a normal, 9-to-5 guy because there was no Batsy. (Makes me nauseous thinking about it.)Image Song:Princecaptures me very well on \"Electric Chair,\" if I do say so myself.I'm a Humanitarian:What?The Chinese were really tasty. *Burp*Meh, they themselves aren't as good as the food they make anyways.There was also that one time I ate a man's tongue raw and thought I felt several people in my head.Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy:Not me personally, but I'd wagermy animated version's voice actorisn't the onlyStar Warscharacter inBatman: TAS. Would it really surprise you if my goons were themooksin white?Impersonating an Officer: When I tried to kill the mayor, my goons and I used this tactic. Unfortunately, ol' Jimmy saw through it, but at least I gothimas compensation! Excepthe was smart enough to wear a bulletproof vest to his boss's funeral... and captured me the day after, using good ol' Harvey Dent as bait. Guess I should've checked the body first...Impossibly Cool Clothes: Hilarious carnage is simply not the same if you're not wearing a purple tux.Heckuva ordeal to clean, though.Improbable Aiming Skills: My aim should be this good after all these years of using Gotham's people as practice. Need an example? Fine! Remember thatone animated moviethat's criminally underrated? In it, I unload an entire magazine from a Tommy Gun at those singing robots, all of them being headshots which blast off the heads of all 4 robots. The camera reveals me to be the shooter andmy left hand was in my pocket the whole time.Improbable Weapon User: I try not to limit myself.Razor-edgedplaying cards, lethaljoy buzzers,exploding kewpie-dolls...And then there was the time I smackedAndie Beaumontwith asalami. Insert your own joke here, this one's too easy for me.Oh, and thatother timewhere I took on Batsy and hislightsaberwith a rubber chicken. You can call it stupid, I call it comedy.Of course, nothing beats a good old-fashionedcrowbar.Improvised Weapon: You may want to be on your guard if I ask you to pass the remote.Incurable Cough of Death: You ever noticed the coughing fromthe real me at the beginning ofBatman: Arkham City? Well, that's a sure sign that yours truly will soon be dead from Titan poisoning by the end of the game.Lesson learned when you OD on super-steroids, kids.In Love with Your Carnage: But he's sooo magnificent when heloses it... Especially when he loses it on me. Ahh, but dear Bats is in deep denial.Not to mentionthat time whenHarley and me made up after she proved that she was more than willing to pull the trigger on me. That's my girl...Let's be straight here, though. I'm not in love withthatCarnage.Insanity Defense: Let's face it, by all rights I should have gotten the death penalty a long time ago. Although I wonder which would be the best way to go... the electric chair would be an absolutely heavenly sensation, while dying by lethal injection would allow me to leave a beautiful corpse (and I do love the irony)...Insanity Immunity:Put it this way: I once woreThe Maskwithout any ill effects. Can't lose what ya don't got!Crane hates this. Can you believe the buffoon actually tried using his fear gas on me? HAHAHAHA!Want to know just how much of an advantage this can be? In issue 7 of my self-titled comic, after a day whereLexyand Iaccidentally swap our main characteristics(madness and intelligence, respectively) Luthor is in his jail cell, remembering that when he was mad he had thought of \"the ultimate theory\", an explanation for the universe that he'd need to be crazy to come up with that would have made him world-renowned. Unfortunately, he was unable to remember it when his sanity was restored.Happened to me again when ol' Ra's decided that I'doutlived my usefulnessafter coming up with a new plan to murderize five sixths of the human population (I probably shouldn't have killed so many of his homies. Or made passes at his daughter. Or won versus him at chess. Naaaah.), andpromptly had me shot. Luckily for everyone involved, Bats found my pasty, lifeless body and tossed me into the old boy's Lazarus Pit. Strangely, instead of coming outcrazier, as users of the Pit are wont to do (and what an experience that would have been!), I came out, like you'd say, with every screw perfectly tightened and a conscience in working order. You cannot believe just how heavily that yoke you call sanity pressed on my head on the few hours I had to live with it.Of course,little Acey-pooshowed methat no matterhowwacky you are, there's still new depths to plumb. What a trip that was...Instrument of Murder: I can do things with a violin bow you would not believe...Insult Backfire: People say that I'm a sick, depraved, twisted, evil psychopath. I say \"Thank You.\" Hey, it's not offensive if it's the truth, right?For example, inArkham Asylum:Batsy:Filthy degenerate!Me:Flattery will get you nowhere.OnThe Batman.Me:Medical Report! Stat!Doc:Y-you had a bad accident. You're a very sick man!Me:Flattery won't save you!Batman:The Long HalloweenThe World's Greatest Defective:You're Insane!Me:Has it really taken you this long to notice?One of my oldest cases:Boy Blunder:You're out of your mind, Joker!Me:Gloriously so! Isn't it wonderful?And an even earlier example inThe Joker's Five-Way Revenge(Batman #251). Yeah, Ireallylike this trope.Guanoman:Joker \u2014 you realize you're utterly... hopelessly... insane!Me:It's my most charming trait!However, I gave myself an attitude adjustment inThe Dark Knight.The term I was looking for was\"just ahead of the curve\".Gambol:You're crazy.Me:I'm not... No, I'm not.Aaaand played straight inTim Burton'sBatman:Vinnie:You're crazy.Me:Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?Later:Vicki Vale:You're insane...!Me:(feigning surprise)I thought I was Pisces.And again inThe Batman Adventures:Henchman:You're insane!Me:I know. I've got a certificate and everything.Though it did workone time, but it backfired on him in a different way.Me:Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city.The Chechen:They won't work for a freak.Me:Fuh-reek?Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches? Hmm? Then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is.The novelization made me sound even more commanding to that Chechen fuh-reek's little cronies, and boy, did I sound more menacing there!Me:This ismytown now. Tell your men they work forme.The Chechen:They won't work for a freak.[I throw a knife to one of my men and try not to stab him in the process]Me:Cut him up and offer him to his little princes. Let's show him just how loyal a hungry dog is.I've even pulled this on my dear little Harley in\"The Laughing Fish\"after I threw a giant rubber fish head costume on her.Harley:You're really sick, y'know that, Boss?Me (blissfully nodding):Mmmm-hmmmm.And it continues intoInjustice 2. I've still got it!Swamp Thing:You sick, unnatural clown!Me:Thank you!Poison Ivy:I'll spit on your grave!Me:It could use a polish!Intercontinuity Crossover:I've evenfaced uptoOl' Chinface, what a death count!It was a real hoot, but Chinface's got evenlessof a sense of humour than the Bat! Jeez, what a grump!And, as noted elsewhere on this page, I metCaptain Americaand teamed-up with theRed Skulluntil I found out Skully wasa wacky Nazi. (They say that's off in itsown little world. Isn't everything?) I also survived a couple of encounters with some jerk calledThe Punisher,got fused withthe furball called Sabretooth, and even metSpideytwice. Sadly, the second time, duringMarvel Versus DC, it wasn't Petey, buthis clone, Benny.While we're on the subject, let's just say Frankie Castle doesn't have the same patience with me as The Bat.Ooh, can't forgetthose crazy kung fu guys,I sure showed them a thing or two.Can't wait to see 'em again! HAHAHA!And as noted in \"Insanity Immunity\", I once put onThe Mask! Didn't see hide nor hair of ol'Jimbo, but hey, he'd been riding my coattails all through the Nineties, so...Intimidating Revenue Service: I'm crazy enough to take on Batman,but the IRS??Nooo, thank you!It Amused Me: Well,duh.Jetpack: Honestly, Batman can ruin anything if given the chance.Even if you're a regular guy looking to fly\u25ca.Joker Immunity: Theynamed this trope after me. You can't keep a good clown down! (Except when Jack Nicholson plays me, or when Iget so old I could get my own neck broken, or when Ipoison myself with super-steroids.)Does more need to be said?Even that time in the Tooniverse theydid get rid of me, they had to do it twice over just to be sure.One time I tried to subvert my Joker Immunity inBatman: Vengeance,when I jumped off the exploding blimp and was free-falling to my death, for real this time. I even tried preventing the free-falling Bat-Freak from saving my life four times, but on the fourth and last time, he somehow finally succeeded in catching me in time and preventing aNon Standard Game Over. So much for that!Throughout the Arkhamverse,I kept trying to subvert my Joker Immunity again and again inBatman: Arkham Origins, and Batsy kept on saving me! It was not untilArkham Asylumthat I finally succeeded... by OD'ing myself on Titan while the Bat-Freak was too helpless to stop it. Of course, it would take yet another painful year for the Titan poisoning to settle in my bloodstream before taking it over completely, thus fulfilling my death wish (though unexpectedly) at the end ofArkham City. And even then, my public still couldn't get enough of me, so they made a new game aboutmy first run-in with Batsso I could return to the spotlight.Andanothergame wherethe blood I left in Batsy and Scarecrow's fear gas come to life and taunted him ''all'' night long.What fun!Then there wasthat bratwho shot me with my own gun. That wasn't funny. And don't get me started on thatfake Batmanwho said I wasn't funny.Joker Jury: Another one named after little ol' me.Jump Scare:Batsy's dream version of mehad a habit of doing this; if you've seen theNew Game Plusversion of the opening, you'll know what I mean...Kick the Dog: A robot dog at that.Killed Off for Real:Once upon a time,I injected myself withTitan. It should have been just like all the other times I dabbled with toxins, but sadly, it ended with mehaving to go out smiling inMonarch Theatre, or what's underneath it anyways. The lesson is,Drugs Are Bad\u2014 but only when they are used on you. Still, what aDowner Ending, huh?Though I'm still kicking everywhere else, as far as the Arkhamverse is concerned I'm done for; they even put my bodyinto the fireinArkham City: Endgame.The version of me that killed Batsy's parents suffered aDisney Villain Death. Ouch!One alternate version of metried to give Superman a bad day.It got him asuperpowered arm through the chest.Sheesh, it's amazing whatnuking Metropolis and tricking a superhero into killing his wife and unborn bratwill do to a guy. Considering what happened after that,one of my greatest triumphs!In one 'verse, the Bat finally managed to kill me for real... after which he went off the end in abigway, working his way up to destroying the multiverse.wistful sighAlways knew he had it in him. ...But again,see my thoughts above.Thenthere's that Magog character, who thoughtSic Semper Criminaliswas the punchline. Crude and unfunny.Over onEarth 2,I got bumped off by Bats without even the chance for a joke. 'Course, that was oldTommyWayne, filling in for his dead son, who'd gone and got himself killed saving the world. Tsk, no style, that man; it's obvious wheremyBatsie got it.And AGAIN inConvergence. Damn Telos. That was no way to end up such an illustrious career.This seems to be the case at the end ofBatman: Endgame.Hah, fat chance!Kill Sat: In mycomeback attempt, I tried to use one of these wonderful toys to mark New Gotham as Joker territory. Unfortunately, Bat-Fake had to ruin the fun.Knight of Cerebus: My role inYoung Justice Abridged. So far I'm the most seriously-portrayed character in the damn show! (Ironically enough)Kryptonite Ring: Sometimes I bump into Superman and have to remind him what dirt tastes like. Honestly, the only thing to be defeated by a rock more than Supes is those unfortunatepair of scissors. Maybe Supes should try carrying around paper.Kubrick Stare: I do enjoy giving folks this look from time to time (especiallythat one time).Lack of Empathy: Oh, it's always aboutyou, isn't it? What about me, huh? I nearly broke my arm swingin' that crowbar around!Lame Pun Reaction:\"The Joker's Wild?\"Nah, that one wasn't funny.Still, if you think that one was corny, you should see the one at the end of the movie with Jackwhere I died by falling off a building due to a statue pulling my leg!Large Ham: I may be a ham, but I'mgoodat it!The Last Dance: Doc once told me I had cancer. The incurable sort, ya know. Hoped I'd repent, becomeThe Atoner, and undergo a standardHeel\u2013Face Turn. What did Ireallydo?Blaze past allFive Stages of Griefin thirty seconds, destroy the world's most secure prison and poison Earth's atmosphere with a big cloud of the ol' laughing gasina massiveCrisis Crossover. Then it turned out, the doc who made the scan drew the \"tumor\" on it. Wanted to pull a joke onme. Heh. Good one. Heeeehah. Hoohoo... HAHAAHOOAH... AAHAHAAAHAHAAA!!Latex Perfection: Every once in a while I've felt the need to cover up my ol' rubber face of comedy with a literal rubber face. And I'm good at it, too. I've even fooled Batbrain with this one once or twice.Laughably Evil: Again,duh. I don't supply the trope image just because I'm so handsome, you know.Laughing at Your Own Jokes: I do it all the time, and I expect everyone to join in...or else.Laughing Mad:Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?Laugh with Me!: And you'd better know when to laugh. I hate it when somebody doesn't get the joke!Lean and Mean: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, folks!noteThere's so many better reasons...Yes, it seemswhenever I'm notsomeboxy-suitedmusclehead,I'm cursed withthe physique of a stringbean.Ooh, I'm not complaining, mind you \u2014I gots me enough vim and vigortogo toe-to-toe with Tall, Dark, and Gruesome any time I please!(Craney-boy, however... nowhe'sgot a problem.)Legacy Character:I get a street gang dedicated to my humble self over inBatman Beyond. And inThe Movie, there's little Joker Junior(Tim Drake).You think Batman's little swarm doesn't do him justice? Wait 'til you get a load of my variousblood brothers, the results of a plan to bathe Gotham in my own blood - not literally, of course, that's more Ivy's thing - but I digress. Point is, none of them could hold a wink of a candle to yours truly - I even had totake over Bat-brain's mind, just so he wouldn't have to hear their atrocious singing!Granted, I probably would have done that anyway...As it turned out,someone started calling himself the Red Hood. At first, all I had to say about that was thathe had horrible taste (in dress sense). When I wore that number it wasclassy, moreflashy ma\u00eetre d'thanmotorcycle fetish. Oh, thesekidstoday. Andthenthe new guy turned out to be Jason Todd! (You know him, he's the Bat-punkI killed that one time.) And he got into a big fight with Bats over whether it was right to kill me after working me over with a crowbar for a while. (Heh, that was a pretty good one.) It was nice to see our old friend all grown up and gone homicidal!Was still a grump, though.*Sigh* There's no teaching some people.Y'know how the Bat's scared that if he finally kills me he'll become like me? That's exactly what happened inone neverborn 'verse, andthatBat went on to try and take downThe Multiverse. What did I think of it?I killed him... yup, me and Batsy actually worked together and I got to kill him. The one thing that poser never counted on was us working together? Heh.Be Careful What You Wish For.Legion of Doom:I REALLY don't likebeing left out when this happens.Leitmotif: Every good comedian with a little self-respect should have a little easy-to-remember introductory tune, suchas this sweet little whimsical melody.Now, good luck getting it off of your mind again!Heh... ahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sweet dreams...Leone d'Oro: In addition to snagging thegolden fella, I am the first and only comic book character (and supervillain) to snag the golden cat from theCity of Canalsthanks toJoaquinandTodd. I would have probably taken the Volpi Cup for Joaquin as well if there weren't any rules in place that kept a film from sweeping the awards.Light Is Not Good: I wear bright clothes, and my skin is bleach-white. Does that make me good?Batmancertainly doesn't think so.The Lost Lenore: Oh, my dear sweet Jeannie. We were going to be so happy together. But then I lost my wife, my unborn child and my sanity all in one day...Or maybe I just made her up. Who can tell?Love Makes You Evil: Maybe. Maybe I did all this because I lost my beloved wife as part of my One Bad Day. Maybe I didn't.Hey, wanna know how I got these scars?Then again, I've lied so much about my past. The way Batman tells it inConfidential, I never had a wife and it was the allure of Bats himself that drove me over the edge.Luxury Prison Suite: Once upon a time, I used to maintain a miniature version of my hide-out beneath my cell in Arkham. Ah, good times.MacGyvering: Did I ever tell you about the time I mixed Joker Venom outta stuff in a janitor's closet at Arkham?Or why they won't let me have a remote for the TV anymore?Moi: Step right up and play everybody's favorite game,\"What's the Joker got in the pail?\"Maybe a deadly poison, or maybe just something to make the floor nice and slippery.noteFor the record, it was the latter. Never let it be said the fine fellas at Arkham can't dance!Mad Artist: LikeJacky-boysaid inthe movie, I make art until someonedies.Then there was that little incident at the Gotham Art Museum \u2014 that Pennyworth stick-in-the-mud put his work in my place, though.Mad Bomber: I'm a man of simple tastes, you know:gunpowder, dynamite, oh, and explosives. I also usedthose funny round onesina video gameonce. What can I say? Using bombs is fun! I would have said it's ablast, but I think that joke wouldablown up in my face.Mad Hatter: Can't blame me for wearing my little neuroses on my sleeve! I do it better than ol' Jervy!Madden Into Misanthropy: It's all a joke. Life is just a cruel joke.Why doesn't anyone else get the joke?!!Mad Love: Me and Harl' have this kind of relationship... that's completely one-sided. Took the girl well intoBatman#663 to get that through her head.It's really me and Bats that have this relationship and is the only one that counts! He doesn't understand that everything I do is for him. He may find me crazy and deranged now but he'll learn to see things my way eventually. But for now, we're just two star-crossed enemies.Magic Kiss: Yes, even in those rare moments when I became aMadGod-Emperorbent ondestroying the universe, my darling Harley thought she was gonna die after all she had done for me. That was when I came closer to her and gave her my special kiss that transformed her into a constellation. Ah, such aHeartwarming Moment.Magical Clown:Oh, please.I don't NEED all that supernatural mumbo-jumboto have fun. On the other hand,if the opportunity arises, Iwilltake advantage. I have to admit, screwing the world up (and evenkilling Batsy!) was fun while it lasted.Magnificent Bastard: While I'm almost always asly genius, I sadly often pass the heinousness level required to fit into this trope.Manipulative Bastard: Well of course. If you have any doubt, check outthis outing.Man of Wealth and Taste: Though sometimes I skip the wealth part. The good things in life? Bombs, guns, all that? They'recheap. Though I dolovemythreads, I'll give you that much.Masochism Tango: I like taking it as much (or more) than I like giving it \u2014 but only if it's Bats. He enjoys our little dances too, he just won't admit it.Mass \"Oh, Crap!\": I tend to inspire this in the good people of Gotham. I must admit, it's always nice to meet a fan.Master of Disguise: Maybe not one of my more renowned talents, (I don't use it all that much because, hey, who'd want to cover up my gorgeous mug?) but from time to time I pull it off. I once even trickedCatwomaninto thinking I washer boyfriend.Master Poisoner: You bet yer boots! Say, you look a little pale...more wine?Master Swordsman: I became one of these inBatman Ninja, as Batsy was not thrilled to find out during our climactic battle. It's always good to pick up a new skill, especially when you'reTrapped in the Pastand nobody's packing heat. As I always say, \"When inRome, do as theFeudal Japanesedo!\"Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane:Now, I know what you're thinking: \"Oh, Joker, you horrifically handsome harlequin, was that truly your undead soul tormenting ol' Brucie's mind during hisAll Hallow's Eve tussle with Scarecrow, hell-bent on hijacking his Bat-bod for your own cruel ends? Or were you simply a manifestation of his decaying psyche, a hallucination brought on by a caustic cocktail of your own diseased blood and Crane's new and improved fear toxin?\" Well, first off, my dance card's full, youmasher. Second... Why do you thinkIhave any idea?? BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!Memory Gambit: So there wasthat one timewhen Rowdy Groddy Pipertime warpeda bunch of Batverse VIPs, including Harl and yours truly, into an extended vacation inFeudal Japan. I wanted to get Batsy and his pals off our trail for a while, so I came up with a plan that was clever even by my brilliant (and modest!) standards.I hypnotised Harl and myself into believing that we were humble, non-evil farmers who just wanted to make a plant that was one of our crops bloom.Little Red Raging Hoodfound us and didn't buy it; he was about to give us quite the smackdown until Fatbat himself called him off on account of we weren't crazy anymore! And then, the moment they left, the plant bloomed \u2014 which was the trigger for Harl and I to go back to our fun-loving selves!Not bad, if I do say so myself.Mermaid Problem: I solved this one quite handily in\"The Laughing Fish\".

Tragically, hisconditionwas less than permanent.One incarnation of Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Dent.Good ol' Supes went cuckooan alternate me killed his wife!Some may say this is what I did to Dr. Quinzel. But I say, look at how muchhappiershe is now!Even got to run old Batsy himself through this during my glorious reign asEmperor!Once, I did this to a surfer to get his skill. Bats, the Boy Blunder, and Batgirl all overreacted. Get a sense of humor, people!...Once,that damn Marvin wannabedidthisto me.It was not funny. Makingmesane - who does he think he is?Once I believed I did that to little nobody Charlie Collins, but he was invoking this trope just to make me let him alone... What? Oh come on! Just read the list again! It was a perfect set up, I mean, I have this effect on a lot of people!Some Joe Shmoe journo took offense to my standard greeting when I came calling to check on his expos\u00e9 on me. I'll give him credit, though... instead of the boilerplate responses to staring violent death in the eye, he furiously called me a friendless loser. And well, wasn't that interesting? I decided he might be ontosomething, so I decided to give it a shot, since he was so kindly offering. It didn't matter one bit where he went, I was already there, and every time he thought he'd outrun me, I'd drop for a visit. What? Friendship is a two-way street! Sheesh, and people call me an egotist! I was all set to be whatshisname's best friend and he just kept running, no matter how many little gestures of appreciation I dropped! In the end, the poor fella decided he needed... professional help. The kind only the wonderful people of Arkham can offer. Since I'd vanished from the face of the Earth, there was no better time to check in for a spell. He could have walked out at any time he wanted, but hell, I heard he's doing good progress! There's a kindly soul who's been helping him, making feel better, being his very bestest friend.*snicker* I can barely wait to see his face the moment Dr. Border drops the act.One version of that Jason Todd punkhad to put up with a WHOLE YEAR of this (andother things) from me.Even got him to call me \"sir\"right before I \"shot\" him!Ah, the memories...too bad I wasn't around to seethe resultsof my handiworkin person....Mind Screw: I just looooooove messing with you people's heads. Did I mention I'm immune to fear gas & hypnotism?Well...most of the time.Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: Duringthat time I took over Arkham, I often taunted my minions. However,considering they're total idiots, can you blame me?Money, Dear Boy: Occasionally, even I have to pull boring old regular bank heists and robberies just for the money. Chemicals and explosives ain't cheap, you know!Money to Burn:Literally.\u25caMonster Clown: One could argue that I'm the prime example of this trope, mentally and physically.Morality Pet:Dear littleHarleyreally hasmellowed me out, don't you think?Sweet kid... makes a fella consider giving upall the wild oatsand settling down...

After all, committing on-screen murder is just entertainment, but using one of theSeven Dirty Wordsin a PG-13 movie? Nowthere'sa real crime!Mugging the Monster:During that timewhen Gotham was cut off from the rest of the United States, some punk decided to mug me. HA! Now he's gone!Ok. Occasionally in thatanimated show, I ended up with a problem that forced me to find good ol batsy to deal with it.Muggles Do It Better: I don't need to shoot magical lasers out of my ears to put Superman down faster than Darkseid usually does. Everyone gives poor Croc grief for his grand plan of\"I threw a rock at him!\"but it workssowell against our favorite Kryptonian.Multiple-Choice Past:If I'm going tohave a past,I prefer it to be that way. And well, between all the made-up sob stories I've fed those gullible good-for-nothing therapists over the years and the chemicals that ran through my system, I'm actually a bit confused about what happened on that fateful night and who I was before it myself. Not that it kills my buzz; mysteries are the spice of life!Since that whole \"New 52\" nonsense, I've recalled a few memories involving ahorribly cruel grandmotherwho liked to bleach my skin. Is it true? Eh, who cares?I'm actually an interesting case: while I'm often stressed to have it in-universe, the origin given is almost alwaysthe same oneover and over.Almostalways, but you get the picture.In Shadow of the Bat #38,Tears of a Clown, I celebrated my anniversary of the day I was a still sane, but hapless comedian, and I was thrown out of an exclusiveStand-Up Comedyclub for an unfunny act the patrons mercilessly heckled. Being desperately poor, this marks myStart of Darknessas I agreed to provide to my family by pulling a job for the Red Hood gang. So I kidnapped all the patrons and made them reenact my act with control collars that would kill them when they laughed.The funny thing is that the patrons were really hardcoreStand-Up Comedyfans,so they claimed to have seen (and heckled) so many acts that nobody remembered the act of a bad comedian. So I cannot even be sure that myStart of Darknesseven really happened or it was allThrough the Eyes of Madness.They throw me out, and I had a wife and an unborn child\u2026 or it was two cows and a goat? Sometimes it's so confusing\u2026Maaan, you just don't know howannoyingit is when the writers forget stuff like this. Why,a pal of mineapparently was an eyewitness to events that seemed to confirm Alan's version. And then they stopped caring. Still, as bothersome as it is, you have to admit having a specific origin confirmed would just ruin my dashing mystique. For the best, I guess.InEndgame- a bunch of possibilities get tossed around. A demon, abody-stealingrobot, some sort ofHumanoid Abominationnurtured by laughter, a mad immortal... hell, even maybe a defector from a secret military project... or maybe just plain good ol' boy Willie Distal.And if any of you actually bought any of that for a second, please contact my agent - it's not every day one finds someone so open-minded their brains areleaking.InJustice League#42, ole Bats supposedly learns my true name, and he's shocked - as if it's someone he already knows! And it'll be revealed in #50? Oooh, this oughta be good, because will those guys up in the executive office of that comic book companyhave the guts to nail down who I am?Oh, I like this one. Turns out what shocked Batbrain wasthere arethreeof me running around - the Golden Age me, Alan Moore's me, and Scott Snyder's me. Guess it's true what they say - you reallycan'thave enough of a good thing!Tim BurtonandJack Nicholsoncompletely averted this in theirversion of me.They not only gave me a name, but showed me asThe DragonandThe Starscreamto a past-his-prime mob boss! That might almost be heresy, except that they alsomade me the guy who iced Bat-Boob's parents!How's that for cosmic irony?Remember theDC Animated Universe, whenmy angel of death awaited?You don't get the full story, but you learn just enough about yours truly to whet your whistle. Turns out that not only did I start out as one of Sal Valestra's bully boys in that world, I was also Carl Beaumont's escort to the afterlife! Of course, that wound upbiting me in the tuchus. Gotta hand it to good ol' Andie \u2014 she came as close to taking me down as anyone who's ever tried!Still, it always comes down to the same thing in the end. Give me any name you care to. Present all the evidence you want. Convince yourself that's who I am. I may have once been someone else, but sure as hell I'm not that person anymore. If the idea hasn't sunk in this far into the page, then I'm afraid there really is nothing I can do for you save perhaps beating it into your head. Crowbar or revolver? Your choice, pal.My Card: Strangely, not everyone appreciates the pun.My Death Is Only The Beginning: I tried to make Bat Guano go allHe Who Fights Monsterson me afterthe ferry boat fiasco, but the spoilsport didn't rise to the bait. Gee, I wonder why ol' Batsy won't go cuckoo by killing me. I've always wanted to prove him wrong on his morals and that he's no different from me.But an alternate versionof me made Superfreak goJump Off The Slippery Slope, and surprisingly,IT WORKED!!I PERMANENTLY BROKE SUPERMAN FOR GOOD!!!And considering the goings-on after he killed my alternate self, I consider that my greatest triumph! The alternate me pretty much shattered Big Blue's faith in everything, and he's just now a lunatic like my alternate version. Like myself, the alternate me wantedto prove everyonecan have\"a bad day\", but I'm jealous that he succeeded, and I failed in making Bat-brain go wild.My God, What Have I Done?: Unusually,Iof all people have been forced to go through this. Don'cha worry, hombre,Status Quo Is God. It's just that it was duringthat timethat weird green guyforced my poor brainto think in such bizarre,diseasedthought patterns.Last time a psychic ever tried to make me sane, though.There's been a few occasions where I've been rendered temporarily sane, and I...I-I..Oh, god, what have I done?! I didn't mean... I didn't mean for it to turn out this way!! I j-just...my wife, my child!! It's all my fault! All-all my...my.. I can't seem to remember...Now now, nobody likes a party pooper!Named by the Adaptation: WhenTim BurtonandJack Nicholsonportrayed me intheir 1989 movie, they gave me the name Jack Napier. I've noticed that quite a few stories that show me before I put on my happy face also run with that as my name. To be fair, it's aMeaningful Namein that it's similar to \"jackanape\", and the jack is a type of playing card.Narcissist:From time to time.With a beautiful face like mine, can you blame me?Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: And a pretty bad one at that, too. I rememberthat one timewhen I set up the bombs all over the cathedral, then told Bat-butt the plan and urged him to get out. I then counted down the seconds from ten all the way down to zero... and for some odd reason the Caped Crusader just kinda stood there, as if he had no clue what to do. I tried coaxing him to get out, but he didn't seem to hear me. Then I gotREALticked off and started making minor threats,but in doing so I blurted out a few hints that foreshadowed my ownDowner Ending, probably breaking the whole \"Do Not Spoil This Ending\" rule,right before I made a major threat to blow this whole damn place sky-high, for real this time. And it's likely I would have blown him up along with it had he not somehow been intimidated by my major threats and hightailed it the hell out of here. Maybe I should have kept my big mouth shut andblown him up to bits sooner after my countdown to zerowhile I had the chance.My whole scheme in theThe LEGO Batman Movieput the Lego Batsy onto a path to becoming a better person who was willing to open up to others. Eh whatever,I got what I wanted out of the film, he can have his stupid family.The Nicknamer:You made it all the way down here, and you still need me to tell you?Not exactly the brightest hammer in the henhouse, are ya,Tropesy?No Celebrities Were Harmed: Some of my victims fall into this, as I've killed stand-ins forSiskel and Ebert, as well asDavid Letterman and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.No Fourth Wall: And lovin' it! I'll happily chat directly with readers, and I've been doing it foryearsbefore thatAnonymous\u2014 in the\"chan\"sense of the phrase\u2014 over at Marvel made it \"cool\"! I do it so well, evenyoucan't be sure if I am or not sometimes!No Name Given: What was my name back before that little incident with the vat of chemicals?Jack?Joe?Jeremiah?Arthur?Y'know, I'm not sure I remember it myself...And I preferitstaysthat way,thank you very much!No Sense of Humor: No, really! In myvery firstappearance, I was a smiling psychotic gangster withno sense of humor whatsoever\u2014 and during my fight with Bats,he'sthe one making puns while I'm just screaming\"I am going to kill you!\"... (Well, I didget him to laugh once, but mostly becauseI wasn't in the happiest of moods.)Also, I want you to laughwith me, not AT me. I really gotTICKED OFFwhen that Bat-fake copied my style.No Shirt, Long Jacket: Every now and then I'll forgo the full purple three-piece and just throw on the coat instead.And don't think I don't see you staring, folks!Jerrysports this look forSuicide Squad (2016).When he's wearing anything at all up top, that is.Not Me This Time: If there's a drawback to the insanity stuff, it's that it's pretty hard to convince Gotham's finest that no, it doesn't matter how much it looks like I did it, no matter how damning the evidence is, no matter how funny I thought it would be,there are times when I just ain't responsible for the latest punchline.Not-So-Harmless Villain: You'd think a villain with a clown theme would be the most pathetic and lowest rogue in the gallery, right? Boy, you gotta love the imagination of those writers!There was even a universe where Batboy himself and the entire Gotham City mob underestimated me.It didn't end well for any of them, but I had a lot of fun showing them otherwise.Flyboy donned a radiation proof suitand thought that'd be enough to defeat me. Also, he believed the marbles I dropped were just to trip him. He had a, shall we say,explosivesurprise.Here's a link to the main page ofyours truly!A-F|G-N|O-Y"} {"text": "Here's a link to the main page ofyours truly!A-F|G-N|O-YObfuscating Insanity: Oh, I'm flattered, but it's reallyDepending on the Writer.Good ol'Pauliesaid I was this inBatman: Black and White- Case Study. Here, some docs find a file where a certain doctor said I was actually completely sane and that before I took that chemical bath, I was a mob boss who reveled in my anonymity. However, I then became the clown we all know and love so I could waltz in and out of Arkham whenever I please...But the best part? They found that it was dear Harley who wrote it, before she begancounseling me.That's right kids, Imayhave driven dear Harley insane to invalidate her findings once I caught wind. And who left that file? Yours truly. After all, I gave them the truth yet there's nothing they can do about it to stop me. It waspriceless.Oh, Crap!: There was that one time I ran intoa skull-wearing nutwith evenlessof a sense of humor than the Bat.Skullface:I've got all the therapy you need right here, comedian.Me:You're really going to do it.Older Than They Look: What can I say? A chemical bath wipes the yearsrightoff! Now, I'm not wary to tell you my age, you rude little scallion, but I'm around 20 years older than Batsy in several continuities, such asBatman (1989),Batman: The Animated Series, andJoker (2019), which places me between 45-65 during his prime fighting years.Older Than They Think: A lot of fans think that my famous Venom - poison that not only kills, but puts a grin on the victim's face - is relatively new, started inthat Tim Burton movie.Actually, that can be traced back tomy very first appearance.Yes, it was a brilliant plan... I publically announced that I would murder a millionaire at precisely midnight and steal a priceless diamond he owned; naturally, the police surrounded him with armed guards, but at midnight exactly, he collapsed, dead, with a gruesome smile on his face, even though I was nowhere to be seen, and when they checked his wall safe, they found the diamond had been replaced with a fake one. I guess it's safe to tell you how I did it now. (It's been what, almost eighty years??) I snuck into his house thepreviousmidnight, stole the diamond, and gave him a dose of my Venom while he was asleep that would take exactly twenty-four hours to kick in. A lot of work, but worth it to give those cops the scare of their lives!Omnicidal Maniac: ...Look, if the world'ssick and broken enoughto spawn someone like me, then clearly it's time to clean house.Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Anatomy, and of course good old Engineering, Psychology and Chemistry; all the stuff at boring old school that actually makes lifefunfor a prankster like me. The only subjects a genius like me has trouble with is that boring old inter-ma-whatchyacallit-net, too much logic. Oh no, I wasn't a teacher's pet, it's quite the other way round actually. As a matter of fact Ms Crabtree over there has been licking water from her dish since I put her \"facing your childhood fears\" lecture to practice... on a roller coaster showing the \"movies\" her daddy made with her back in sweet-16.....I wonder if it will work on Sheriff Gordy...AndJacky Boylikes to imply that I'm also a fella who is gifted in poetry, theatre, literature, and all that lovey dovey, boring pansy stuff...Tell anyone I read that Shakespeare sonnet to my dear Harley and I'll tear your lungs out, buddy boy!One Phone Call:I know my rights, and I'm going to make sure I get my phone call when I'm visiting the slammer. Of course,I might not be making a call to anywhereoutsidethe lockup.Or outside a person, for that matter.One-Winged Angel:Not really my schtick, but when the chips are down, I think a change of looks would work!Like when I took that shot of TITAN...though that one proved to be areal killer.Whoopsy-daisy!Believe it or not, this actually happened to me again when Batsy teamed up withthose multi-colored reptilian ninjas. I tried out that goop that mutated them, resulting in mebecoming a mutant snake! I kinda liked it, but the worst part was that I never got to try out whether my new brand of home-made venom would've given the ol' Joker toxin a run for its money, and just when I was gonna make a break for it,Batgirl knocked out all my brand-new pointy teeth AND took a selfie with me!I swear, thatCassie girlis a bad influence to all the young ladies of today, I'm gonna to have to teach her a lesson on proper social media conduct.The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: The Bat ismine. Capiche? And yes, Ihaveenforced that. Violently.That also includes Robins and Batgirls, understand? Black Mask learned that the hard way...O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Iquit laughing?As the kids say these days, shit just gotreal.Either that, or thatlittle punkgot under my skin.This actually pops up when ol' Anton Arcane and his hellish underlings returned to Earth. EvenIdidn't think it was very funny!As much as I hate to admit it, Batman reaching out to me at the end ofThe Killing Jokeis one of the few times I stop laughing and actually let myself be human for a bit, I'm even pretty sincere in my apology, but I knewI couldn't redeem myself after all I'd done.I know, I thought it was weird too.Our Vampires Are Different:I decided to give the whole bloodsucker routine a shot.Reviews were good.Realgood.I'm not above playing dress-up as one either.Especially when my fellow villains don't invite me to their party.I've even heard tell thatoff in the glittering cosmos,on Earth-Eleventy-Whatever, I leda whole army of Dracs,even though Inever got switched!Of course, the poor fella'sdead as disco now, buuuut... hewasbumped offby Bat-Fink,sopoints for effort!Out-of-Character Moment: I'm not sure why, but...Killing Gordon's wife during the earthquake...Well, itjust wasn't as fun as I thought it would be...\u25caOutside-Context Problem: InThe Dark Knight, Bats and the police are in a fight against the mobs. Neither side sees me coming...Painful Transformation:And it's been hurting ever since.\u25caPay Evil unto Evil: My ultimate goal: To make Batsy stop with all thisno-killnonsense and gimme the ultimate finale! Can't see why he's so stubborn.Ol' Big Blue Bonehead didn't need as much convincing.Ow.The Pen Is Mightier: I demonstrated this ratherpointedlyback in '89with my quill pen.And then there was my famousPencil Trick...Perpetual Smiler: What can I say?Life's... been good to me.Pet the Dog: Alright, alright! There have been occasions (veryinfrequent occasions) where I might throw ol' Batsy a bone (shutup) and played nice. Butkeep your fat mouthSHUTabout it!I have a reputation to maintain!The novelization ofThe Dark Knighthas a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where I slipped an old lady a hundred-dollar bill. Of course, that may have been me practicing for my big confrontation with Bats down the line, to try to imitate his every move so as to confuse him, which would help to drive an ordinary person mad...wait a second, Bats is no ordinary person!That, or I got tired of waiting around for my henchmen to pick me up and had nothing better to do to pass the time.Photo Doodle Recognition: When Ol' Brucey was looking over an old photo of Valestra's gang, he thought there was something familiar about the last member, so he drew a big red grinning mouth on it. And got quite a shock. That's right.That gangster wasME!Physical God: There have been a few occasions where I became an omnipowerful force to be reckoned with, most recently in theBatman: The Brave and the Bold'sversion ofEmperor Joker.You boys shoulda seen the original...I managed to break the Bat's spirit, andreduce his soul to mere confetti scraps!Pie in the Face: Batman's favorite present had to be the pie I gave him in the Christmas episode of the animated series.Piet\u00e0 Plagiarism: Sure, the Bat and I areVitriolic Best Buds, always mean to each other from time to time. But there are some times when even the Bat-Freak felt a little pitiful and looked on me in sadness, holding me in this way. One example is the time when Bat-Copshot me in the face, and even then, the poor Bat had to save me, carrying the unconscious me to an ambulance, bleeding face and all, through the pouring rain.Not a pretty sight, I can tell you that.\u25caAnd towards the end ofArkham City,after I breathed my last from Titan poisoning, the poor Bat-Jerk had to carry my body out of the Monarch Theatre and Arkham Cityin this manner\u25ca. Also in thecomic incarnation.\u25caOh, if I could have seen it while I was alive instead of viewing it from the afterlife...Then there was the time that I hid a bomb without telling anyone about its location and got sprayed in the face by my own toxin. Batsy had tocarry me\u25cainto the ER\u25caso he could interrogate me before the thing blew up.Pirate: The actual pirate, not those illegal downloading kinds. And in my expert opinion,I looked damn good.\u25caPistol-Whipping: Guns aren't too quick in this case, Heathy boy. I'm indiscriminate when beating someone with a gun,even if it's my dear Harley.\u25caPoke the Poodle:I'm not abovestealing a kid's report cardwhen I'm feeling down. Just as long as it makes someoneelsefeel worse.Behold, if you dare...the time I lowered Bruce Wayne's property values!HAHAHAHAHAHA!Y'know, for the life of me, I can't imagine why people think I'malwaysa crazy murderer. I've certainly proven I don't need to hurt a single person to punt you straight into theDespair Event Horizon. Why, I once drove half the nation to utter horror with justa normal playing card, a squirting flower full of ginger ale and pure gift of gab! All those Joker wannabes up there underFountain of Expies- bleh! Corpses andMind Rapemaybe incredible goldmines of comedy, but if those second-stringers don'tgetthe basics of showbiz (even, or should I say,especiallythe cheap jokes), they're never gonna get their Walk of Fame star!Playing Card Motifs: What were you expecting? I didn't pick the Joker card for nothing, ya know.Police Are Useless, unless his last name is Gordon.Politically Correct Villain: Let me give you my personal assurance that I hold all of your lives as equally meaningless. If I seem to be lavishing you with personal attention, you're either the Bat, his kids, or someone I hate enough to warrant it. Race, creed, age, gender, orientation or tax bracket have absolutely nothing to do with the fact I happen to occasionally need a prop and for the most part one corpse is as good as any other.Practically Joker: Some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I say it's the sincerest form ofPlagiarism! Didn't you already readFountain of Expieson this very page? Why waste your time with second-rate ripoffs of me when the real thing is right here?!Pragmatic Villainy: I'm the Clown Prince of Crime, not the Clown Prince of Stupidity! I never put my venom on postage stamps, because that's just too goofy even bymystandards. I'm also not invited whenever my fellow villainsteam up, saying that I'm toounprofessionalanduntrustworthy. (Hey,I Resemble That Remark!)Lexyon the other hand thinks it's safer to have me on their team, than have me angry at them. Can't say I blame them though...You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!Predecessor Villain: InBatman: Arkham KnightI influence the actions of almost every character! This is burned into the players' mind through the completely unsubtle method of putting me in the very first scene and some cop guy talking about me and my effects on Gotham.In fact, during that very first scene, my dead body is shown burning inside of a blazing incinerator.Get it?Also, there's the teensy, tiny fact that I'mtorturing Bats from beyond the grave, plotting to take over his body and mind.Pre-emptive Declaration: \"I Kill The Bus Driver\" InThe Dark Knight. Oh, did I fail to mention that part of the plan? So sorry. NOT!Pretender Diss:\"Batman\"? Thatglorified errand boy?Pu-leease!Take it from me, that's onebadjoke.Have youseenwhat that young punk calling himselfthe new Red Hoodis wearing? No taste at all! When I wore that number it was classy. Moreflashy ma\u00eetre d'thanmotorcycle fetish.Oh, these kids today...Pre-Violence Laughter: I do this a lot. Also post-violence laughter. Andduring-violence laughter. Let's face it\u2014I'm just a barrel of laughs, and violence!Prima Donna Director: I still think the movie\"The Death of Batman\"\u25cawould be a smashing hit.Product Placement:Sure, I may be crazy for not lovingthe great taste of a Hostess fruit pie,but I'm not that crazy all of the time.Psycho Knife Nut:You know why I like knives? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the little emotions.You'd be surprised at what people reveal at their last moments. Also,soup tastes better when it's difficult.Of course, if I need must soil my pinkies with a dirty ol' firearm -and I must, Iabsolutelymust\u2014I stickwith theclassics.Psycho for Hire: Even though I got into the super villain biz more for thefun of it than the money, I do take the occasional odd job from other villains. Even the best criminals have to keep bread on the table too, you know.Psychopathic Manchild: In the end, I'm just somebody who enjoys a good joke or a game or two! I don't need a reason, it's just fun!Punch-Clock Villain: One short comic had me and Batman before a comic book \"shoot\", rehearsing our lines before the performance. You can see it in theWhat Ever Happened To The Caped Crusaderomnibus.Pungeon Master: I happen tolikejokes. In case y'know, you hadn't figured it out by now.The Purge: Timmy Burton and Jack Nicholson made me do this in their 1989 movie (not that I'm complaining, mind you). After I put on my happy face and got revenge on Carl Grissom, I took over his entire organization and had all his loyalists killed. I wasn't entirely to blame here, though. When I gave Tony Rossetti the shock of his life,he advised me to grease them all.He was an evil bastard-I'm glad he's dead!Purple Is the New Black: And how! Honestly, can you imagine me dressed in any other color?Put on a Bus: I appeared in the very first issue of Detective Comics published in our braveDCNuworld, only to let the Dollmaker cut off my face and hang it on a wall. Suppose I should get around to having that sucker stapled back on one of these days...The Bus Came Back: I might have notshown my facein Gotham again for a while, but I've been back since October 2012, kids!Put the \"Laughter\" in \"Slaughter\": Deary me! Is this aTrope NamerIsee? Also, my dear little Harley saysI put the \"fun\" back in funeral.Rags to Riches: One time, when I had hit rock bottom and was destitute, I received anUnexpected Inheritancefrom King Barlowe, a rival mob boss. Naturally, I was overjoyed and started living it up. Unfortunately, I later found out that the inheritance was a final joke the old kook pulled on me when it turned out that the majority of the fortune was all fake and that I had spent all the real money I had. Even worse, the IRS was on my back to pay a huge tax and I couldn't tell them the reason I couldn't pay otherwise I wouldn't be able to show my face to the rest of theRogues Galleryever again. Let me tell you, if Barlowe hadn't been dead, I'd kill him!Reality Warper:Emperor Joker, huh? Why so formal? Simply call meYour Maniacal Majesty Who Hijacked Ol' Mxy's Powers And Almost Caused The Multiverse To Snap In Half Like A Dry Twig...Red Baron: Ooh, it seems my reputation precedes me! Let's see here... I've been calledThe Clown Prince of Crime,The Harlequin of Hate,The Thin White Duke of Death,The Ace of Knaves,Maurice...Redemption Rejection: *beat*No, no, I'm sorry, but it's too late for that... far too late.Pffthahaha, you know, this reminds me of a joke...Red Right Hand: My green hair, white skin and ever-present grin, of course! Usually attributed to a chemical bath, although Jacky's take on me added bullet wounds to the cheeks and bad surgery to help explain the grin.Averted with Heathy's take on me, who just slaps on dye and makeup over aGlasgow Grin.Removed from the Picture: It would be interesting to know exactly how many times I've\"died\"over the years.Repulsive Ringmaster: As much as I love clowning around, it's also fun to be the ringleader every once in a while! There was this one timeback in the good old dayswhen ol' Batsy thought I was deadnoteTalk about stupid!, sosome friendsand I took the opportunity to start our own little circus! We would go to the homes of rich folk to perform, just for them...and then steal their riches.Retirony: My father was a cop, who was one week from retirement when the mob killed him.At least, that's what I toldDoctor Young...The Reveal: Hands up. Who was expectingmeto be Oberon Sexton in ol'Grant'sBatman and Robin, eh? See, Ilikepeople who get the joke...Over inone particularly lovely little hellhole,I'm dear old Martha Wayne.I like the way this world thinks.Robot Buddy:Good old Captain Clown!\u25caRobotic Spouse:Honey, I'm home!\u25caRoom Full of Crazy: Oh, come on! Who hasn't indulged in a little defacement of city property from time to time? The boys at Arkham have pretty much given up entirely when it comes keeping my walls clean.Rule of Three: All good things come in 'em, and apparently,so doI, as of DC Rebirth! Ha, what a hoot!Rugged Scar: TheThe Dark Knight's version traded in myFrozen Facefor aGlasgow Grin. Probably something about beingDarker and Edgierbut they still wanted to make it clear thatI'm not going anywhere.Sad Clown: You ever hear of the one aboutthat loser who lost his wife, his baby and his face all in one day?You too? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!I...I just wanted to make people laugh...Sadist: Of course! From this comes my sense of humor!Sadistic Choice:InArkham Origins, I made a master plan in forcing Batsy to breakhis \"one rule\"by strapping myself to an electric chair that's wired to the heart of a Spanish muscleman, then taunted the Bat-Freak to try to force him to make a choice: either kill Bane or let him live, so that his heartbeat can charge up the chair until it's at its full power to kill me! I even added that if the Bat tried to remove the heart monitor from the muscleman, the bomb that I had planted within Blackgate Prison would explode and blow everyone up real good! And to make matters worse, when Gordy the Lieutenant tried barging in to save the day, I subdued him by grabbing him and transferring the shock crown from my head to his in the hopes oftaking the old fart with me! After a while, when Batsy used the Shock Gloves left by the Electrocutioner on Bane, I thought for sure that the so-called Dork Knight would break his moral code after all. It was later revealed, though, that heTook a Third Optionby temporarily stopping the muscleman's heart, then taking off the monitor from hisOnly Mostly Deadbody and using the same Shock Gloves asMagical Defibrillatorsto restart his heart again, thus saving all three of us! Boy, was I shocked when I found out! And I knew that that wasn't even funny AT ALL!... well, actually, I realized itwashilarious after thinking about it, because it meant I had a new playmate and it would be a fun ole time trying toBreak the Haughty.Sanity Slippage: Depending on which story you believe, a slip is what caused my sanity slippage.Sarcastic Clapping:At Chief Jimmy's promotion.Scaled Up:There was this one timeI made a trade with old Ra\u2019s. I gave him my patented Joker Venom recipe for a canister of mutating ooze he got from some tin-plated tourist. After taking over the Asylum, I made sure the inmates and I took our medicine, and I ended up turning into a giant cobra man! Hahah! The only thing that would have made that night better was if I actually got to bite someone. I neverdidget to see what kind of venom I produced.Scary Teeth: Why, thank you, I do my best with them. All the dental work Ol' Batsy gives me certainly gives plenty of opportunity to try them out.Though, seriously, what wasMonkey-Medoing to get jigsaw-patterned teeth?According tomy second outing with LEGO, my teeth aren't yellow because of my acid bath, or however my skin got bleached. I just don't brush them enough.Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: When my old boss, Sal Valestra, thought that Ol' Batsy was after him, he offered me aBriefcase Full of Moneyto finish him off. My response?\"What do I look like? Pest control?\"And of course, I made it perfectly clear inThe Dark Knight...\"All you care about is money. This town deserves a better class of criminal; and I'm gonna give it to 'em.\"\"It's not about money, it's about sending a message; everything burns.\"Secondary Color Nemesis: I've always liked purple, green, and orange...because any other color would just be crampin' my style! Wouldn't it bother ya seein' me in, say...red, blue and yellow?Everyone's favorite Man of Tin Foil seems to love 'em!Ah, well...at least it's better than Batsy's boring monochrome!Secret Identity Apathy: Yes, I've had the occasional opportunity to unmask Batsy, but why should I ruin his mystique? He's much more enjoyable a challenge as he is as his charmingly mysterioso self.What's that? BRUCE WAYNE?! Who've thunk that beneath all the beatings and batarangs was Gotham's least interesting citizen, crying for Mommy and Daddy.It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic...Oh, what the heck, I'll laugh anyway!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Eh? He'd break me in two if I said all of that to him?! Oh, please. If he had the guts for that kind of fun,he would've done it years ago!I,on the other hand...Besides, that reminds me, WayneTech promised an electric car by this year.I put a deposit down, where's my goddamn electric car, Bruce?!Alright, to be fair,as demonstrated by me apparently going back and forth about it here,I may or may not know already,but I just can't see him or his little rodents as anyone else. Because, again, reduce my primal enemy to a mere man? Where's the fun in that?Take one of my more recent outings, for instance.Me and Bats talk about how he knows I know, but I don't care. If the world really knew about Brucey, he might give it up before I do. Trying to make Joe Chill another Joker was really just my way for him and Bat-Bum to work things out so I could finally take the spotlight myself.I don't know why, but I can't help but feel like Bat-Bro would have done the same for me...For that matter,how do we knowBats really isn'tjust his roommate?Secret-Identity Identity: Averted by me that time (Going Sane) when I thought I really killed The Batman,And Then What?Bored with Insanity! I tried to be... Joseph Kerr... I met a woman... eh... What in the world am I talking about? That's funny, for a moment there I thought I remembered... Ah well, whatever it was... it's gone now.Self-Made Orphan:Depending on mypast du jour....And then there'slittle J.J. ...Okay,maybe that one wasn't really funny.Serial Killer:Really?I'm so much more than just some bozo with a knife, like Zsasz! I don't kill people randomly. I only kill people when it'sfunny.Sexy Jester: Sure, Harl's more famous for this one, but I'm sure we all agree I look better in tights and ruffles.For some reason, the version of me appearing inThe Dark Knightgets thisreactionfrom female fans a LOT. Oh well, no accounting for taste, I suppose.Shadow Archetype: Oh yes. I'm the yin to Batsy's yang. He's just as crazy as I am, he simplyrefusestoadmitit!Sharp-Dressed Man: I'm not just aSerial Killer,Mad ArtistandMisanthrope Supreme, I'm also a fashion platepar excellence.Shooting Superman: Not with theTrope Namer. I swear if I see another idiot try that I will kill them myself. But I did by accident with thatkid with electical powers. I tried to get Batsy to grab my hand while I had anElectric Joybuzzerready to zap him. The kid saw what I was doing and took my hand instead. Since he hadelectrical powers, I was the one in for the shock.Shoot the Television: I did this after seeing King Barlowe'sVideo Willand learning of the mess he'd got me into.Shoot Your Mate: I even had one of myMookscrush another with a school bus!Oh, I do this all the time. Why, I remember poor Bob, him I shot for talking to me when I was in a bad mood. Sometimes I do it if my men ask stupid questions, or if I'm just bored. Really, they take it sopersonallywhen I kill them. I kill and torture because I love.Shout-Out: Oh you know me, a quick reference is always good for a gag. Like that one time I got mixed up withthose kung fu whackos. When I found out who was behind it, well,I just couldn't resist.During my laughing fish incident, I pointed out to Mr. Francis thatColonel What's His Namecould copyright his chickens, and they didn't even have mustaches!If Bats happens to bite the dust while I'mstuck in his head, there's a chance you'll see moiscreaming his name thrice.Shout-Out Theme Naming: Have you met my hyenasBud and Lou?Show Some Leg: I wanted tomake sure Harley saw me, 'kay?I was due to have a very important business meeting withLex Luthor, you know. Who was trapped, I mean, waiting in the back of the limo she was driving.Shut Up, Hannibal!: I've been on the receiving end. Most often from the Crazy Chiroptera, the Turd Migratorius, and the Cute Chiroptera; but more than once froma criminal! I just don't get it. How can anyone honestly believe good and evil exist when I've proven beyond reasonable doubt that they don't?Shut Up, Kirk!: Did you really believe I would go straight?Sidekick: Mostly my cartoon incarnations \u2014 me, I stick with regularmooks. So much more convenient. (I'd prefer if you didn't mention Gaggy.)This guystarted it all, with his very own \"hench wench\" Harley Quinn. Well, she was so funI just had to get one of my own.Monkey-Me, on the other hand, really went overboard. I mean, running around with twomutebruisers in clown-puppet get-up calledPunch and Judy?noteThen again Dreadlocks himself says they're goons and so don't count.Trying to get his own Harley Quinn (out of a radio pop-psychiatrist)? And then there was that wanna-beKid SidekickPrank! Nothing sadder than chickening out at the chemical high dive...Nowadays, Harley's been a thorn in my side ever since she joined with old Batsy... but no worries! I've got a new main squeeze by the name of Alexis Kaye. She's the Punchline to myJoke...r. Quite the polar opposite of Harley too, which is just the way I like it! I was more intoBrainy BrunettesthanDumb Blondesanyways...Signature Laugh: I've had a few iconic laughs across my various incarnations. Of course,ol' Hammy Hamill'sisprobably the one you're most likely to recall.Sissy Villain: I'msureI don't know what you're talking about, darling.Miller Time,God bless 'is heart, tookthis simple little conceptandran it into the freakin' end zone.Poison lipstick?Ballsnasty.Did he get me mixed up withIvy, I wonder?Slasher Smile: Seethis cheerful fellow?\u25caMy very own dashing good looks were modelled on him.Detective Comics #880\u25cashows what I look like when I'mhigh off my own joker gas.Smug Smiler: Mostly around Bats and Jimmy.Especially Jimmy\u25ca.Snuff Film: What, you think Iwouldn'ttry my hand at something like this? My attempt at becoming a cinematic auteur was to be entitledThe Man Who Killed Batman, although unfortunately I had a number of \"creative differences\" with my star. Old Batsy can besucha prima donna at times... and one of those \"creative differences\" wasit wasn't bloody him, butAzrael.Thanks,Bane.There was alsothis one timeI tortured one of Batsy's Boy Blunders to insanity...ahh memories. The little birdie had let me in on Bats' deepest, juiciest secret: his secret identity. I was having quite the field day showing his little brat getting much needed electrotherapy and digging at howhe's nothing more than a big manchild crying out to Mommy and Daddy.And let me tell you, Bats wasNOT happy about it at all.The Sociopath: I never feel any shame about torturing and murdering people,because their pain and sufferingare all just fun and games to me.Solar-Powered Magnifying Glass: In one old cartoon, I pulled a bunch ofRed Herringcrimes to get the plans to build a giant solar mirror so I could give Gotham the ultimate hot foot! The Dynamic Dumdums had to spoil it though.Sold His Soul for a Donut: Harrumph. Don't think I don't see you sniggering there. Joke's on you, pal!Igot my Cubans! Really, whatever my soul's worth these days, I'm pretty sure I ended up with the best part of the deal anyway...Someone to Remember Him By: Sothe titan incident ended badly for me, but apparentlyI left a little present cooking inside of Harley.Or maybe she's just imagining it. Fun!Played straight inInjustice 2! Apparently, before Supes punched a hole through me, I knocked Harley up! And then an alternate version of Yours Truly paid that 'verse a visit just to meet the little squirt. How 'bout that?Sore Loser:I'mthe funniest comedian in Gotham! ME! And any comedy club judges who refuse to believe that will suffer most dearly!Spell My Name with a \"The\": Folks usually call meTheJoker (except duringmy barefoot-and-dreadlocked phase).Split Personality: One of the many theories as to why my actions are so random and varied is because I have Multiple Personality Disorder, like good oldDenty.Spring Coil: I onceloaded one into the prison yard to get me out of the clink, in the middle of a ballgame, no less.For some reason, Lexie didn't think the whole \"booby-trap the coffins of your latest rampage's victims with springs to turn them into a wave of Jack-in-the-Boxes at their funerals\" was funny at all. Can't imagine why.The Starscream: I'm not usually one to go about a power play, but I think since oldtin-canthinks he's hot stuff for getting a trope named after him, he'd better pay attention to a more...well thought-out resume. Maybe he can properly bump off old Megsy after a little lesson or two from moi?Lexy's boy thought he was playing it smart. He didn't let me join his little league team because he thought I'd be unpredictable. ME? UNPREDICTABLE?... To be honest he does have a point, but out of all the mistakes he made,the biggest one was not letting me play. See Screamer?That'show you make sure you always get invited to the parties!Tim and Jack's take on me in 1989 implied that Carl Grissom had me killed not only for banging his girlfriend Alicia, but because I also had an eye on taking his position. He was right...and unlike that talking rustbucket, I actually succeeded!But wait, there's more!One time, Lexy hired me to bump off old Boy Blue, so I was willing to handle the job for a fair price. Then he decided to act like he was the boss of me and\u2014well, let's just say the real estate values in Metropolis went down a bit!Stealing the Handicapped Spot:Not me personally, nope, never. But one of my favorite little acts when Batsy's not around is to find some punk who parks where he shouldn't,and make him so that he should.Straw Nihilist: Nope, notCraney. I learned an important lesson a long time ago, one that makes this whole crazy, screwed-up world make sense:nothingmakes sense. It's all just one big joke! But you guys, you don't get that \u2014 so I've got to show you.One wayor another.And those times that people didn't take to the lesson don't count!Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: No one can say I don't give my all to the joke. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done. Peskymoral compass. MyInjusticeversion had much more success though, in a way even I didn't imagine! I not only got the Blue Boy Scout himself to kill me, but the fallout of him killing me resulted in a daysohorrible for him, he took over Earth! And got the entire customed party they supposedly call \"the Justice League\" beat the crap out of him!Success Through Insanity: Apparently, if you're crazy enough, you start seeing and hearing all these nifty details everyday chumps just can't see! Why, did you honestly think someone wastalkingtoyou? HAHAHAHAHAHA!Suicide by Cop: Case in point. During theLast Laughstoryline,Nightwing(Robin #1 for those keeping score) did me in. However, Batsy ruined the fun bringing me back because he didn't want hisboyfri-I mean, ex-sidekick to be a murderer. Still, wished I'd filmed it though.Superhero Sobriquets: I've got somanyI don't even know if I can remember them all! Let's see... The Clown Prince of Crime, the Thin White Duke of Death, the Harlequin of Hate, the Mountebank of Menace, the Lord of Laughs, the Ace of Knaves, and oldGrantadded a few special ones too, the Laughing Leper, the Dandy of Death and the Clown Prince of Pain. Almost makes \"the Joker\" seem a little pass\u00e9 nowadays. (Well,almost, that is.)Take Over the World: Or city. Or country. Or multiverse. Please. Who the hell wants the responsibility? I'm a simple man of simple tastes. Lex orthose two mice in the studioreally could stand to learn a lesson or two from yours truly. At leastdoctor pointy nosefrom across the lot gets the idea!Taking You with Me: Think I won't do it? I can and Iwouldhave, along with all of Gotham, whenCarnage tried to kill Bats. (And he almost wet his pants, too. All I ever got from that guy was a big laugh.)Talking to the Dead: Okay, I admit I was thinking about killing all of Grissom's loyalists when I took over his gang in the 1989 movie. But it was Antoine who confirmed that I should grease them all after Igave him the shock of his life.A Taste of Defeat: While I agreeSupes' stroll on the dark sideis one of my more memorable outings, there's a reason I generally won't try this in the main continuity. I once tried, and somehow Big Boy Blue... well, we don't work too well together. It's hilarious to see Batsy taking shot after shot to the jaw, but Supes... he just rolled with the punches and... laughed.He made me a joke. I brought my A-game, over and over, and he just laughs at me and makesmethe punchline! At the very least, he and Bats had a niceheart-to-heartafterward. Even if it means next time I visit Metropolis he's promised to send me home in matchboxes. See how much easier this is on all of us when you don't have that stupid no-kill rule, Bats?Tattooed Crook:Jerry Leto'sversion of me inSuicide Squad (2016)has got more ink than the Sunday Funny-Papers.Tear Off Your Face: Thanks for being such adoll, Marty! Great to havea new start.Endgamesees me having my face back!Terms of Endangerment: Bit of free advice, sweetcakes: just because I've got a pet name (or seven) for you, doesn't mean I like you.Thanatos Gambit: Sure, I may never have pulled it off, but it's always been a dream of mine that one day I could finally push the Bat far enough that he'd breakhis one rule.Because if I can make him kill me, I win.That Man Is Dead: \"Jack is dead, my friend. You can call me... Joker. And as you can see, I'm a whole lot happier.\"Themed Aliases: I generally use either re-arrangements of my name, such as Rekoj, J. Reko, Joe Kerr, or famous clowns like Bozo, Krusty or Pagliacci.Thememobile: My very ownJokermobile\u25ca.Theme Serial Killer: I've done this on occasion, when it seemed like a fun thing to do.They Were Holding You Back: If only Bats would stop worrying about his so-called \"Bat-Family\" and focus more on little old me.Thou Shalt Not Kill: Take it from someone who knows: when I'm on your crosshairs,don't hesitate. One of these days, I should add up how many of Gotham's nobodies I've bumped and ask Bats how nice his code looks when staring down that glorious number.To Create a Playground for Evil: InEmperor Joker, all I want to do is turn the world into a giant amusement park! Okay, I admit that my idea of \"amusement\" isn't to everyone's taste. Take ol' Batsy; even I got tired ofkilling that caped cretin over and overafter a while! But it was fun while it lasted...Together in Death:My dear wifey Harley herself had said, while I was still alive, that she would want to be with me in the afterlife should my own demise from a deadly disease befall me.If only!Too Kinky to Torture: You're welcome to try. But! If I'm not satisfied, I reserve the right to make sure you learn the proper way to inflict pain,and there is no better teacher than experience...Tough Act to Follow:invokedYou remember that time whenol' Supes gave mea death by FATALITY? Well, I was happy with it for a number of reasons. First of all, I had just succeeded in a) tricking Big Blue into killing his wife and brat, b) nuking Metropolis via a trigger I wired to the heart of dear Lois that went off when she died, getting all the boy scout's other friends killed in the process and c) pretty much shattered his faith in humanity as a worthy-of-self-governing species. I didn't know, and still don't,howI was going to top that, so it was just as well he killed me when he did. Besides,look what happened next because of me!I made Superman go off the deep end!I made him and Batsy hate each other!I split their little League down the middle!And even more!And on top of all that, he proved what I've always told you: One. Bad. Day. It's just like whatthat crazy old coot in outer spacesaid: Death is nothing compared to vindication!Track Trouble: Yes, villains blowing up train tracks is cliche, but you've never seen anyone pull it off quite like yours truly! Aroundgood old jolly time, I had Gotham's airwaves (and a few innocent victims) hostage to give Batsy the ultimate gift, and he has the gall to try and peak at it early! So I just had Donner and Blitzen blow up the President's Bridge to make sure the 11:30 express would be taking an early trip down south! Lousy Bats had to spoil my fun and not only rescue the passengers, but the engineer too, before the train could jump the tracks! I guess wholesale slaughter by train wreck just doesn't fly these days!Tranquil Fury: I won't lie to you. It's pretty impressive when someone manages to bring me here. And trust me, if I've reached this point, Iwillfeel compelled to top it.If any of you could graciously point me to a Mr. Oliver Hammet? A little bird told me he was oncea bit of muck stuck in the heels of Gotham's finest.I believe he took something from me... and I'd like to arrange some restitution.Likewise,my old Metropolis acquaintancediscovered to his and his club's detriment my personal displeasure when he thought he could pull a fast one on me and seek the services of the third-rate, ahum, \"Batman who Laughs\". Honestly, Lex. For the world's smartest man, you can be a real moron sometimes.Troll: It's fun making people mad! And then dead!Troperiffic: It got to the point that, wouldn't you know it, mySelf-Demonstrating Articlewas the very firstEVERto be split up into sub-pages!Tyrant Takes the Helm: Would you believe that in theSpin-Offseries featuringHarl, I actually becamemayorof Gotham? Talk about being aVillain with Good Publicity!Eatyourheartout,Pengy!Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Harley and I are likeBeauty and the Beast. Of course,if anyone else calls her beast, I'll rip their lungs out.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Oh look! I've been invited toa showto fight with ol'Needles Kane.I think I'll put a wider smile on that face of his.Aye, yours truly did give that miserable excuse for a clown a good laugh he'll never forget!The Unapologetic: I really have to tell you that the one thing Ihatemore than everything is apologies.Underestimating Badassery:Flyboythought it'd not take more than a radiation-proof suitto prevent me from using his Kryptonite Factor on him. If at least Batsy didn't get in the way. AndLexysaw my inability to handle Bats as a reason to believe I couldn't kill Supes. Well, that's what allowed Batsy to stop me, so Lexy wasn't completely wrong. For once.Sometimes I suffer from this with Supes. When he brings his A-game, oh boy does it not end well for me.Unexpected Gameplay Change: Batsy may not beFirst-Person Shootermaterial, but that doesn't meanIcan't indulge from time to time!Unexpected Inheritance: I didn't expect to inherit Barlowe's money. It changed once I learned thecatch.The Unfettered: There's nothing I can't do that I've already done. Name one: torture, mass murdering, bombings, arson, poisoning...I could name hundreds of 'em, pal!Unhand Them, Villain!:Ohhh, very poor choice of words...Utility Belt: I tried using one of these during a story inthe Silver Age. (What? \"The Joker's Utility Belt!\"noteBatman #73Duh!) I figured, if guys like Bats can use them, why can't guys like me? (Well, seems the reason was, guys like him can use thempretty well,no matter whose they are...I guess that's why he never tries usingmystuff...)Unlimited Wardrobe: Sure, you all know about my affinity forpurple suits, but at any given moment I may show up in anything from combat fatigues to aMister Rogers sweater.Victory Is Boring: A lot of folks say that I could have killed Bats a long time ago, but I never have because this whole thing is fun. What can I say? IT IS!Villain Ball: Yes, even I make mistakes occasionally.Villainous Breakdown: I admit it. Even the greatest among us can't keep from going a littlecrazierfrom time to time.My most notable one was probably whenBat Fakemocked me. But can you blame me? Ol' Bruce never said anythinglike what that punk said!There was this one time... I was holding the Philosopher's Stone... just waiting to remake the world in my glorious image... and thenthat damn green guydid something to me. Something 'orrible. Something I don'twantto remember. Methinks he may have made me \u2014 gasp! SANE! Fortunately, it didn't last.When you're trying to prove that evil's stronger than good, it'sreallyoff-putting to be derailed bya criminal who's gone straight while in the jug.One of my lowest points was when, after Jason's murder by ballot and the surrounding hoopla, myusual and patented immunitybegan failing, and I stopped more and more to consider things I would never have given a second thought were I properly off my rocker. It washumiliatingto get shot by that creep Curtis Base and being forced to remember pain hurting and caring what others thought of me. Thank goodness Fatman dragged me back home to Arkham with the weirdos and the crazies after Basewent out the way of the duck. A few more days and I might have fallen to existentialism.Then there was the time Iaccidentally got all the powers of that freaky fanboy Bat-Mite, killed Batsy repeatedly, and finally decided to hop into his mind and loosen a few screws! Unfortunately, it all goes horribly wrong and Guanoman shows me my worst fear:not having an arch-nemesis to keep me company and therefore being... normal!. Oooooh, I hate to even THINK about it!And then, there'sArkham Knight, and with it, my worst fear EVER...Being forgotten by a city that was once caught off-guard by the mere mention of my name! When Bats had me down for the count (for good this time) I was BEGGING him not to forget me!\u2014 shudder...Oh well, who wants Chinese?Then there was the time when I was being particularly murderous,I demanded to know why the hell some guy tried to look like a nightmare even though he let people see his square, handsome jaw.It only took three words.THREE words.Batman:Tomockyou.Villainous Crush: Ah,Miss Vale... she was gonna trade up, you know.And in issue four of my self-titled mag I fell for, of all people,Black Canary. Twas during a time she was more a damsel for thatBatman wannabeto rescue, however.Villainous Friendship: Ol' Lexy makes a hoot of a straight man for the duo-act. Oh sure we've had our bouts and tried to kill each other plenty of times, what friends haven't? Batsy and Big Blue can come to blows and be chums, why can't we?Villainous Harlequin: Less serious works likeBatmanandBatman: The Brave and the Bolddepict me like this. Just so long as I have a smile on my face! Well, that and whats-her-name.Villainous Legacy: Hey, I had nothing to do with this! It seems some guys are admired, even years in the future.InBatman Beyondthere were the Jokerz, a group of motorcycle punks. (Not the best group untilyours truly decided to take over.)There was also Duela Dent, a would-be heroine who called herself Joker's Daughter. (No actual relation, by the way, although sheclaimedto be my daughter, and Two-Face's daughter, and Doomsday's daughter, and... Well, she was crazy, okay? Guess maybe she at least had the right idea....All right!She was the daughter of an alternategoodversion of me! Happy now!?!)There's a guywayin the future where the folks fromDC One Millioncame from too called the Laugher (kind of looked like a spitting image of myself but with a huge robotic set of toy teeth in place of legs); too badwe didn't see much of him...And who can forgetMarquis Jett?Wanna know how to make an instant heir? Just zap a kid on a school bus with the old joy buzzer, and BLAMO! The kid did me proud. Wanted to make Gotham his playground in my name, and put a smile on everyone's face! 'Sniff', that's my boy.Villainous Underdog: Batsy can kick my butt almost any day of the week, and he's got all his wonderful toys. He really could kill me if wanted,and actually deep down he does want to kill me, but his ethics keep him from doing so. That's what makes our dynamic interesting, as I do evil trying to push him over the edge!Villain Protagonist: I hadmy own comicinThe '70s! Sadly, it lasted only nine issues. I guess fanboys in the disco decade hadNo Sense of Humor...Villain Song:I finally had one inBatman: The Brave and the Bold'sadaptation ofEmperor Jokercalled\"Where's the Fun in That?\"And then there wasthe oneJimmy Steinmanwrote for me in thatmusicalthey never got around to making.Some fan who was disappointed that the musical never saw the light of day also createdthis fabulous number for me, where I sing about adding some color to Gotham City by decorating it with \"ribbons\" of blood.Then there'sHarley and Monkey-Me,livin' it upandout on the townback when we first metinThe Batman. What better way to celebrate than with a song called \"Setting the Woods on Fire\"? Notable fornot actually being an original song\u2014thanks,Hank!\u2014and for being the last timea consummate professional like medoesa friggin' duet.And then there was the number I sang for that old timer Gordon inThe Killing Joke. (That's right, I sang an original song in a comic.) Fortunately,Mark Hamillgot a chance to do it justice inthe animated film adaptation.See for yourself.The Great Luke Skiwrote\"House Party at Arkham Asylum\"for me.Oh, and there's that one time I did my own spin on acertain Christmas carol. I'm sure most of you will sing along with me!And here's yet another one, same \"Jingle Bells\", which goes like this:\"Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Gotham's quite a mess! Blackgate's mine and you're out of time, which means you'll soon be dead!\"HOOHOOAAAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!And now I havethislovely number courtesy ofMiracle of Sound.And\"Deranged\"byCoheed and Cambriais all about Bats and me!EvenCesar Romerodid me justice with asprightly little dittyworthy of me.This little number fromArkham Knight. Makes you wonder what that What's-His-Face ripoff was singin' while Bats was hallucinating me over him... probably something suckish.Also,in case the Bat finally wallops and forgets me, I have a sad,Dark Repriseofthis onefor those lucky enough to get a100% Completion. Still, since thatMarkywas sad enough when he had to leave the final Arkham game with a send-off like this, I cry along with him. As we both say: Thank you. I'll be here all week... try the veal.Oh, and here's one more, to the tune of \"Rock-a-Bye Baby\":Rock-a-bye Batsy, I'm getting free.Soon you'll be the one trapped inside me.So keep taking breaths, great lungfuls of fear.Soon Bats will be gone, and I will be here.Cover Version: As for myself, I had a heartwarming, yet haunting voice when I dida cover versionof that Platters guy's original song\"Only You (And You Alone)\". And believe me, it still brings me to tears just hearing the sound of my own voice (well, myMark Hamillone, anyway) at the end credits ofBatman: Arkham City. Though, of course, many of you may think of it as creepy,Black ComedyHo Yaywhen they hear my singing voicemail to the good ol' Bat-dude. But hey, thatCountry MusiccowboyTravis Tritt'srenditionwould have been my choice, but I didn't wanna sound like a cowboy freak anyway, so what's the point?And here'syet another coverof aHank Williamsclassic, this time\"Cold, Cold Heart\". I kinda admit, myTroy Bakervoice kinda sounds a little like a sad cowboy at the end credits ofBatman: Arkham Origins, even though it doesn't fit the holidays. Again, still brings me to tears.Villains Do The Dirty Work: I'm always happy to indulge the writers with this, especially if they let me show anySmug Snakesout there whatrealvillainy is like:When Wrath and Scornwere threatening Batmunch and and the Boy Blunder's secret identities but the heroes couldn't do anything because of their sillyno killing rule, Monkey-Me made sure they suffered a severe case ofDeath by Secret Identity.WhenGrant Morrisonwas writing Butt-Man's comics, Dr. Hurt and the Black Glove thought that they were the greatest DC villains of all time. Needless to say, I tookgraveexception to their smug preening and showed them howgravelywrong they were. (And yes, even I can do the incredibly lamePunsevery now and again.)As much as he hates me, oldCueballalways makes a point of inviting me to his supervillain soirees. Even if I don't take him up on it, I'll appreciate the gesture and won't hold a grudge. When his inferior knockoff Alexander Luthor didnotinvite me, I was was rather offended by his snub and made sure he regretted it.Villains Want Mercy: Sometimes. Most of the time, I'm totally cool with the idea of dying. (And if it's at the hands of the Bat, that's the grand prize.) Buuut then again, if it's a particularly painful or humiliating way to die, I'm not above calling uncle.Villain Team-Up: For some reason, my fellow baddiesdon't like hanging with the J-man. Well, except maybe good ol'Lex, and he makes a greatStraight Man. When other villains gather and try to scare each other, they tell Joker stories.Vitriolic Best Buds:Sure, we try and beat the crap out of each other whenever we get together, but truth be told, I consider ol' Batsy one of my closest pals.I suppose that one also fits me andBaldie. Sure, he tries to have me shot, and then I tie him up and make him watch as I blow up all his stuff, but we're working together again before you know it.Wasteful Wishing:Sold my soul fora box of cigarsonce! In my defense,they werereallygood cigars.Water Source Tampering: I frequently plot to slip Joker-venom into Gotham's water supply. Then there was the time I turned the water supply intojelly. You'd think they would have caught on and put a fence or something around the reservoir by now!We Will Not Use Stage Makeup In The Future: Every comedian should experiment a bit with the basics. You would be surprised how absurdly easy it is to change yourself with the contents of a bargain-bin makeup kit once you get some practice. While I may need a little bit more investment to get maximum results (boy, the muscle relaxants are just not my cup of tea, especially when you run through them as I do to suppress the reflex to smile), some hair dye and a dash of judiciously applied makeup mix are really all I need to be ignored as just some Gothamite in the street. Don't you worry, though... that just makes the eventual punchline even better.Why, Guanoman's screams when Dr. Border wiped the makeup off were justheavenly, I tell you!Well-Intentioned Extremist: I just want people to see the world asIsee it! Just 'cause the way I see it is a little... disturbing doesn't make itwrong, does it?What Could Have Been: I could have been a part of theLegion of DoominChallenge of the Superfriends, but as it turned out, I was inThe New Adventures of Batmaninstead. Their loss as far as I'm concerned. I mean, they had Bizarro of all people! He's not a menace, he's a nuisance! And don't get me started on The Riddler. Why him as the Bat's counterpart? I mean really, riddles are boring, not to mention too easy for the Bat to solve. Where's the fun in that? Then again, inBatman: The Brave and the Bold, they wised up and included me among their ranks. THAT was one heck of a baseball game.Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?:HEY! I said that!I was going to add, \"Well, don't just stand there!Askhim!\", but the editor thought the movie was too long as it was.Damn execs... it woulda only taken a few more seconds! How much of a tightwad do ya gotta be to nix that?Who's Laughing Now?: Admittedly, only one time in my life (or rather my next life), didsomebodyget the better of mewhen it came to getting under other people's skin. And that ended up as quite a \"shocker!\"Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: What?!Just shoot him?The death of Batman must be nothing less than a masterpiece! The triumph of my sheer comic genius over his ridiculous mask and gadgets!Oh, what the heck!I mean,it's not like he's gonna wriggle out of...AAAAAAAAGH!Ow, ow, ow, OUCH!Just between you and me,I did try it once...It's not as easy as everyone claims.Wicked Cultured: I've taken a few aliases fromopera.Wicked Toymaker: I can sometimes came across as this. My base in the cartoons seems to be some kind of abandoned hideous toy factory that still haunts some viewers' dreams.Wild Card: What can I say? I like to keep people on their toes. For this reason, I'm not the most popular guy to work with, but I won't take 'No' for an answer.Wild Mass Guessing: MyMultiple-Choice Pasttends to do that. Hell, one of the bestEpileptic TreesI've heard is that I used to be some kid namedCalvin! Not that I'm giving you any hints....With Friends Like These...: I... might enjoy the company of a certain aquatic, flightless bird more than I let on. Don't tell Pengers I said that.Wolverine Publicity: My face was made for the spotlight! I can't help if I'm so marketable! They've even got my face onshoesfor crying out loud!Woman Scorned: Huh? Where'd you hear that? Harley would never hurt me! Even if I did try to... Uh...Replace her......On more than one occassion... And even if she did, she'd never get away with it... And... (Guh, I'm a lousy liar...)Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: One bad day. That's all it took. That's all that separates good people like you from monsters like me. Way I figure things, any world that lets a guy like me live deserves to die.Assuming something actually did happen.Iamcrazy after all.Worthy Opponent: How I view Ol' Batsy, in case you haven't figured it out by now. (Seriously, we're in the W's. It really should be obvious by now.) What can I say? He's the only human being who can keep up with me.Would Hit a Girl: And with a smile, kiddies!Just ask dear ol' Harl if ya don't believe me.Would Hurt a Child: Why should adults have all the fun?At one time inthe 1989 filmI, as a teen, came pretty damn close to killing little Brucie along with his parentsbeforehe could become the Bat... right before my childhood partner showed up! Lucky Bat-Jerk.And inNo Man's Land, I captured 36 cute, little babies and attempted to kill them in order to break Gotham's morale! However, Jimbo's wife Sarah offered to save the little brats atthe cost of her own life, and so I wished her a \"Merry Christmas\" before giving her aPretty Little Headshot. But when I saw those poor little babies gathered around her body, it kinda made me wanna cry for them. So I turned away with a frown, knowing that her death was not funny at all, not bringing myself to offing the little cuties. Oh well...And of course there's the way I had to... bring little Timmie Drake around to my way of thinking...You know what they say, spare the electroshock therapy and brainwashing, spoil the child!Though that time it backfired rather painfully on me.Kids, what can ya do?Xanatos Gambit: My entire rivalry with Batsy is one big one! If he kills me,he proves me right about everything. If I kill him,I prove myself right. And if neither of us kills the other, then we just keep on going like this forever. The only way for me to \"lose\" is if someone else were to kill me,but that would never happen.Xanatos Speed Chess: Hey, what can I say? I'm an opportunist, and if I see a chance for a little mischief, I go for it. Especially if I'm in Arkham andneed a little murderous vacation.Yet Another Christmas Carol: Ya gotta hand it to good ol'Charlie Dickens, whoseone short story on theTrue Meaning of Christmashas been adapted into two wonderful stories of ours:The first was the lastBatman: Legends of the Dark Knight Halloween Specials, which much like an episode ofRoseanne, took place on Halloween in which the Bat-Scrooge plays the role of the stingy old man named... well... Scrooge; his dad is the Jacob Marley; the sneakyPoison Ivyas the Ghost of Christmas Past; yours truly as the modern-day Ghost of Christmas Present; and a skeletal version of Bats as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come! That said, it's unclear if it really happened or Bats has a food poisoning-induced fever dream.The second isBatman: No\u00ebl, in which the Bat-Scrooge is once again Scrooge, only this time it'sthe second Bird-Brain I had murderedwho is the Marley; the sneakyCatwomanwho is the modern-day Ghost of Christmas Past; thebig, flying Blue Boyis the modern-day Ghost of Christmas Present; andI, of all people,make a spectacular, frightening appearance as the modern-day Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come!!! And I even demonstrated to the Bat-Jerk aBad Futurebyburying him alive!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!I truly scared him straight that time!You Have Failed Me: Sometimes myMooksdeserve it when I kill them. I mean, I didn'twantto shoot Bob in the1989 movie, but he should have told me Bat-Munch had one of those...\"things\"...when he stole my balloons! What choice did I have?Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: I really love it when Batsy does something un-heroic or letting people down, and in fact,I congratulated himwhen heTook a Third Option, and let poor Jason down.Me:\"I can't believe you've got him! You expert rootin' tootin' eagle-eyed goth-loving marksman! I love it! You managed to find a way to win, AND EVERYBODY STILL LOSES! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!\"Of course, this happened tomeof all people when the Red Numbskull told me that I'd make a great member to his army!You're Insane!:Ain't it glorious?Your Little Dismissive Diminutive: Ah yes, your little observation that I use this a lot is quite fitting, especially if you got it fromThe Dark Knight. I use it at least six times in that movie.Me:(to the organized crime community) Look, I know why you choose to have your little group therapy sessions in broad daylight...Me:(to the organized crime community) Soon little Gambol here won't be able to get a nickel for his grandma.Me:(to Batman) You just take off your little mask and show us all who you really are, hmm?Me:(to Batman) Does Harvey know about you and his little bunny?Me:(to Harvey Dent) They're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. (referring to the police and the organized crime community alike)Me:(to Harvey Dent) I just took your little plan and I turned it on itself!Here's a link to the main page ofyours truly!A-F|G-N|O-YSo. You've made it to the end of my little carnival ride. Unfortunately, you're supposed to be dead by now. Will you excuse me while Ijust go shoot the architect?COME BACK, YOU LITTLE...!Oh, never mind. A loser like youisn't worth going after. Some people just can't take a joke!"} {"text": "warned you about me?You should've listened.My reputation speaks for itself, troper. Simply put, when my comes to pure, raw skill,I'm the best martial artistin theDC Universe. That's no hyperbole, either. It's a fact.Not evenBatmanhimself can best me, and even now, he dreads facing me in combat. The only one aside from my daughter who could truly surpass me would only be bornfar after my lifetime.I've been not only a killer, but also a vigilante. So I have intimate knowledge on what it's like being on both sides of the fence.I believe Barbara Gordon describes me best. Simply put, I hunt down the strongest warriors on the planet and fight them to the death bare-handed.I should start from the beginning. I won't be long. I made my debut in 1976 inRichard Dragon, Kung Fu Masteras a rival to the aforementioned martial artist.We teamed up from time to time, but given the fact that I'm an assassin-for-hire, the partnerships don't exactly last.I was once known as Sandra Wu-San. Along with my twin sister, Carolyn, we grew up in Detroit, perfecting our martial arts. But out of the love I had for my sister, I always held back.David Cain saw Carolyn as a crutch, a hindrance. So he removed it by killing Carolyn.When I fought David, I realized that he was right. Carolyn was holding me back. I had so much untapped potential. David spared my life, with the caveat that I gave him a child.When Cassandra Cain was born,Sandra Wu-San died. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, I was reborn. Reborn as Lady Shiva.I have met many kindred spirits who shared my love for combat. Aside from Richard Dragon, there was alsoThe Question. I was originally paid to kill him, but I took him to Richard to unlock his full potential as a fighter.My occupation has led to many encounters, hero and villain alike. Black Canary and I trained under the same master, albeit on seperate occasions. Through The Question, I met Batman for the first time. When Bane broke his back, I aided the man in his recovery. I've also given his third Robin some training, although his principles against using deadly force are irritatingly naive.I even have an on-and-off relationship with the League of Assassins. Sometimes, I work with them. Other times, their interests go against my own.I would even work with Canary and the Birds of Prey for a time, Canary trying her hardest to make me change my ways. But I can't. I do what I do because I enjoy it.Comic Books aren't the only place where you can find me.I was one of several assassinshired to kill Batman on Christmas Eve. The money was just a bonus should he failed my tests.I'm actually upset that I did not fight alongside Canarywhen she made her own fighting game debut. It also opened me up to new opportunities when she told me about Kuai Liang and the thunder god. Batman suspects that the two men in question along with Scorpion are the same men thatcame from an alternative Earthin the past.Raiden's chosen fighters have definitely sparked my interest. While Cassandra Cage's victory over Shinnok is indeed impressive,her parentsmay be holding her back, I fear. Or maybe it's because of them, can she reach her true potential. We do have something in common: seeing thatcackling jackassput down like the rabid animal that he is.Batmanrefuses to do so because ofhis self-imposed restraint. Too bad that has ruined lives than helped them.Think you are worthy, troper? We'll see if you can pass my test.Action Mom: Cassandra Cain is my daughter. However, I wasn't much of a mother to her growing up. I'm trying to make amends. Sort of.The Ace: I'm the best martial artist in the DC Universe. Richard Dragon is probably the only man I consider to be my equal. My daughter, however, has surpassed me in skill.Most impressive, Cassandra.Affably Evil: Towards an opponentwho has sparked my interest.Otherwise...A God Am I: There is actually a cult that worships me as a Goddess. They have their uses at times,especially as a distraction.Angsty Surviving Twin:After David killed Carolyn.Ambiguously Human: Oh, I'm very much human. The same can be said regarding Cassandra. Regarding our exploits and as to how we are able to do them? Years of training and physical conditioning.Anti-Hero: When I'm not a villain outright.Antagonist in Mourning: In all honesty, I should be dead. During my final match against Richard, one of my men interfered in the fight, and I killed him in retaliation. Had my man not interfered, then I would be dead from Richard's most lethal attack, the Leopard Blow. I was able to kill Richard, but the victory was a hollow one. I should have lost.Arch-Enemy: That, and on occasion,teaming upwith Vic Sage, Richard Dragon and Barbara Gordon.Arrogant Martial Arts Gal: Not arrogant when you can back it up, troper.Asian Baby Mama: In a sense. I left Cassandra to David and to her own designs for seventeen years before I caught up with her again.Badass Longcoat: Something I adopted back in the 90s. I admit I look good in it, as it's become a trademark of mine.Blood Knight: To find that one opponent that can best me, and succeed me..that's my goal.Blue-and-Orange Morality: I'm kinda weird this way, but unless someone permits me to kill them, then I wont do it. While I avoid most people, there are those that I respect, mainly those who are good at their jobs.Breakout Villain: Shocking, I know. I'm one of the few villains that even Batman himself dreads.The Corrupter:David Cain was the Palpatine to my Anakin,killing my sisterto awaken my potential.Dark Action Girl: The best DC has to offer.Dark Is Evil: And I look good wearing black.Death Seeker: Twice; the first with Richard, the second with Cassandra.Dragon Lady: Seems that the cult that follows me around have reason to celebrate,as I have ascended due to this trope.Depending on the Writer:\u00a0Sometimes, I'm anassassin. Other times, I'm afighter merely honing her craft. Other times,I don't give a shitabout what other people think of me.The Dreaded: Just the mention of my name is enough for anyone who knows of me to reconsider being in the same town as I am.Duel to the Death:It's what I'm known for. I'm surprised that I didn't get an invite to Mortal Kombat. I'm sure I'd fit right in.Evil Is Not a Toy: Don't try and manipulate me. Seriously, don't.Evil Mentor: I've played the role.Among those I mentoredare my daughter, Tim Drake, Dinah Lance and even the Dark Knight himself.Finishing Move:The Leopard Blow, consisting of ramming two fingers into a weapon point via the eye sockets.Friendly Enemy: Something like that to Richard Dragon. (sigh) I just wish Canary doesn't use our association to try and convince me to change my ways.The Gift:I can read your every move and react accordingly. Cassandra can do the same thing.The Greatest Style: My style has no name.Hates Being Touched: Any who dares intrude unto my person will receive an anatomy lesson about bone structure that they will never forget.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: Sometimes, I flirt with being a hero. But mybad habitstend to pull be back into villain territory.Hero Killer: My body count includes Richard Dragon, Cassandra Cain, and Vic Sage. I did revive the latter two, though.Honor Among Thieves: For your sake, don't break it.In Love with Your Carnage:\u00a0I was drawn to Richard Dragon because the man is basically a violence-magnet. I myself was on the receiving end of this because David Cain fell in love with the carnage I am capable of.Invincible Villain: You flatter me, but yes, for the most part, that is true.It Only Works Once: If you try a move I haven't seen on me and it doesn't kill me, you won't get a second chance.It's Personal:Neverharm my sensei or my students. Regarding my students, harming them ismyjob.Killing Intent: If you feel a sudden chill in the air, it's me.Know When to Fold 'Em: Against someone the likes of Superman or Darkseid for example, I have no chance.Lady of War: When I fight, I am graceful and elegant. There is no wasted movement on my part. I am professional and direct.Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: If there are stipulations in a fight, I will honor them. You have my word. Should you try and cheat to win, then all bets are off.Luke, I Am Your Father: Cassandra Cain is my daughter.Eventually, she will succeed me.Martial Medic: A good, hard punch to the chest will bring anyoneBack from the Dead.Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow:Flipped on its head with my interactions with Richard Dragon. He was the calm one, and I was the hothead.David Cain is another story. I thanked him for setting me free by letting him knock me up, resulting in Cassandra.Morality Pet:\u00a0Oh, Dinah. One of these days, I'm gonna break you out of that habit.Ms. Fanservice: (grins wryly) I remember one momentin which I was helping Nrice recover from Banein which Bruce admits that while I am the \"sexiest woman alive,\"he'd rather not have his limbs brokenbefore training.Mugging the Monster: A gang of bikers tried this on me. Three guesses as to what had happened next.My Kung-Fu Is Stronger Than Yours: To the point that people come to me for training.Navel-Deep Neckline: My debut inRichard Dragon: Kung Fu Fighterhad me showing off my chest ala Power Girl.Noble Demon: I'm an assassin with a strict moral code. I know it sounds contradictory, but it's still me.Odd Friendship: Would you believe that I'm on speaking terms with Dinah Lance? At times, we're still enemies, but when I'm not trying to kill or convert her, we sometimes hit the bar or train together.Old Master: My godfather, O-sensei.Older Than They Look: I look young, but bear in mind that I have a 17-year-old daughter.One-Woman Army: Me against 20 men? If you send that many men after me, try not to forget the body bags.Pregnant Badass: Even while I was carrying Cassandra to term, I could still kick her father's ass.Professional Killer: My occupation. I'm not like Agent 47. I just do it for the thrills and to find strong opponents.Red Herring:I tangled with Batman in Lebanon.Apparently, the second Robin thought I could be his birth mother, but Ineverhad a baby in Gotham. It took truth serum to drag that out of me, though.The Rival: Black Canary,to a certain degree.Rogues' Gallery Transplant: I was the rogue/ally to Richard Dragon before moving on to the main roster of DC rogues.Shrouded in Myth: Even those who are about to die by my hand consider it to be a great honor.Spell My Name with an S: Woosan, Wusan, Wu-San. Just make up your damn mind already!Stalker with a Test Tube: The caveat that David demanded in exchange for soaring my life.That Man Is Dead: I told you once already, troper. Sandra Wu-San died when Cassandra Cain was born.Start of Darkness: Mine started when David killed my sister,as he believed Carolyn was holding me back.He was right.Thou Shalt Not Kill: Whenever I'm working with a hero, they ask me to keep my bloodlust in check. Since they asked nicely, I do so. For the most part.Training from Hell: Prepare yourself should you come seeking instruction from me. I will make you suffer in order for you to reach your full potential.World's Best Warrior: In a fair fight, I can beat almost anyonewho isn't someone like Superman or Wonder Woman.Worthy Opponent: My ultimate goal. I travel the world, experience different cultures and beat strong fighters to death."} {"text": "Image selected per Image Pickin' thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1393386119067680400Please do not replace or remove without starting a new thread.Discussion on how to deal with pages like this is here\"I raise my voice, and Satan himself is on bended knee. I am the leader of the free world, you impotent little psychotic. I've had the most powerful beings on this or any planet gunning for me for years, and you think you're going to scare me?\"(For full effect, best read in the voices of eitherClancy Brown,Gene Hackman,Kevin Spacey,Michael Rosenbaum,Jon Cryer,Rainn Wilson,Giancarlo Esposito, orMark Rolston).Diabolical Mastermind,Mad Scientist,LexCorp CEO, President of the United States.TheSuper Villain\u2014 orso say my detractors.While I do not enjoy sharing the personal details of my life, I find it wise to keep my fan base happy (that clown'sbragging about having a page before me was... unappreciated) so I will indulge you. At the minimum, I deserve a page beforethat alien with the yellow ring.My name is Alexander Joseph Luthor. You may address me as \"Lex\" or preferably as \"Mr. Luthor\", or \"Mr. President\", depending on whether or not I am currently president, as I was fromLex 2000#1 to the Superman/Batman series, justanythingbut \"Lexy\". That clown wouldn't shut up about that name. From my humble beginnings inAction Comics#23 (April, 1940), I have been portrayed as almost everything between aMad Scientistand a rather upscale white-collar criminal, a maniacal villain to an abused child, courtesy of my evil, sadistic, backstabbing, manipulating lunatic of an excuse for a father, Lionel Luthor. I have been married eight times; the first seven don't count, and the last one I ended by blowing up my wife.At least two of my children have been killed: Lex Luthor Jr. and his mother, Ardora, when their planet was destroyed, and Jerry White, of whose parentage I was not aware until his death. The only ones of my blood who have lived are Lena (whereabouts unknown), daughter of Contessa, my last wife; and Conner Kent, who is (biologically) my son with Superman (Spare me the\"clever\" remarks,please.) Conner is the only one for whom I have truly cared as a father, though only a clone made using my DNA and that of the Man of Steel. Unfortunately, he has turned from me to the path of the \"hero\".Speaking of heroes, I'm sure you're aware that my arch-nemesis isSuperman, whom I refer to on this page below as \"the alien\". Our relationship is... complicated and my feelings for him are mixed. I do find him annoying, butit is difficult not to admire him\u2014 even when he destroys one of my creations that wasnotmeant to garner his attentions.And That's Terrible.Several actors have portrayed me in movies and on television, and while many were adequate, none truly ever captured my essence. How could they? Nevertheless,Gene HackmanandKevin Spaceyprovidedadmirableperformances, highlighting my under-appreciated comical side.Michael Rosenbaumbrought a notable charm in portrayingmy younger years, andJohn Shea'sportrayal was sufficient.Clancy Brownwas quite impressive inseveralanimatedportrayals(you may even beimagining his voice while reading this).Esteban Garciadubbed me into Latin American Spanish 23 times and counting, though he was hardly the only one to do so. And let's not forgetJon Cryer, who previously playedmy annoying nephew, ahuge comic book fanwho demonstrated his impeccable taste in his eagerness to portray me. And mymost recent cinematic portrayalbyJesse Eisenbergwas ... original.For a more banal biography of my life, achievements, and, yes, setbacks, seeLex Luthor.My appearances throughout history:Notable Comic Book storiesMost every origin story of the Kryptonian will guarantee that I will be there to oppose him.The Man of SteelSuperman: BirthrightSuperman: Secret OriginAction Comics (New 52)How Luthor Met SuperboyThe Unknown SupergirlThe Death of LuthorThe Super-Revenge of Lex LuthorThe Leper from KryptonThe Immortal SupermanWho Took the Super out of Superman?The Life Story of SupermanLuthor UnleashedThe Strange Revenge of Lena LuthorA Mind-Switch in TimeCrisis on Infinite EarthsSuperman for All SeasonsBatman: No Man's LandElseworld's Finest: Supergirl & BatgirlPresident LexPublic EnemiesGirl PowerSuperman vs. the Amazing Spider-ManInfinite CrisisJusticeLex Luthor: Man of Steel52Superman: Up, Up and Away!Last SonSalvation RunNew KryptonThe Black RingForever Evil (2013)Film (Live Action)Atom Man vs. Superman(played by Lyle Talbot)Superman: The Movie,Superman II, andSuperman IV: The Quest for Peace(played byGene Hackman)Superman Returns(played byKevin Spacey)DC Extended Universe(played byJesse Eisenberg)Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeJustice LeagueLive Action TVThe Adventures of Superboy(played by Scott James Wells and later Sherman Howard)Lois & Clark(played by John Shea)Smallville(played byMichael Rosenbaum)Supergirl (2015)(played byJon Cryer)Video GamesSuperman 64Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe(voiced by Joe J.

Beforethe Crisis, \"Lex\" was short for \"Alexis\" \u2014 or \"Alexei\" in the case of my Earth-Two counterpart.Affably Evil: Just look at me. Being the bigger man is important, as well.Faux Affably Evil: Of all the villains, on all the teams, through all the years, the one I deal with better than anyone?The Joker.Alliterative Name: When I go by \"Lex Luthor\".Alternate Universe Lex Luthor Is Awesome: I saved the civilization ofthe planet Lexor, and the Lexorians recognized me for the hero I am; let's just say it wasn't called Lexor until then. Terrible pity about theirworld blowing up...Ever wonder what would have happened if that Kryptonian had landed in the Soviet Union instead of the United States?ApparentlyI would have destroyed him, and instead of being incarceratedI would be properly lauded as a hero as well as a genius, savior of American democracy and the whole of humanity.Once I defeated him for good, I would make Earth a paradise that would endure formillionsof years.Quite frankly, we wouldallbe much better off without him, don't you agree?In fact,the Earth remains as such for billions of years until the world ends, although by then, the world is revolving around a red sun.One of my descendants sends his son in a rocket and it lands in... 1938 Ukraine?Wait a minute...I understand that my Earth-Three counterpart is an actual Superhero. Interesting...The iteration of him I met duringForever Evil (2013),however...hewas no hero, despite what he might say, and certainly no match for my intellect.Ambiguously Brown: InSuperman: The Animated Series(that version of me is apparently Greek, resembling the actorTelly Savalas). They made me a good deal paler inJustice League, I'm guessing to rectify the confusion. Though that might've had something to do with the fact that I had contracted cancer.And That's Terrible: The caption accompanying a picture of me pilfering 40 cakes became theTrope Namer.Speaking of which,I did just thatat my school's bake sale in my younger years, as revenge for the administration refusing to let me enter my fission-powered toaster in their \"science\" fair.There is alsoan apocryphal storycirculating, of me trying my hand at stealing forty cakes again, only to get run over by anobese felinein aDelorean, with the story claiming that was terrible. But I can attest that it was only an \"imaginary\" story\u2014aren't they all?A tie-in comicabout acartoon hedgehog and a morbidly overweight mad scientisthas made reference to this meme as well.noteDr. Eggman:Such brave words for such a little man. I'd rather you be honest and call me a \"perfectly well-roundedgeniusscientist\", my dear Lex. Jealousy can make such a mess, after all.Arch-Enemy: The one and only for that simpering alien garbage. Depending on the continuity,Brainiac,GeneralZod, andDarkseidmay be up there as well, but they still only qualify in a secondary sense. While I originally felt that way about the alien inthe television series that starred his female cousin, I had no problem transferring my hatred to her when she became the primary opposition to my plans.Artificial Limbs: At one point I got radiation poisoning from theKryptonite RingI kept on me, and they had to amputate my right hand. I used a robotic prosthesis until I just cloned myself a new body.Ax-Crazy: Sometimes, admittedly, the alien willdrive me to this.Bad Boss: I can be a little rough sometimes. Just ask Mercy inSuperman: Doomsday.Bad Guys Play Pool: In \"Smallville\", I do.The Bad Guy Wins: There have been occasions where I have triumphed over my enemies, however briefly\u2014such as that time I trapped Superman in apoorly coded simulation;even though he somehow managed to escape,I managed to get off scot free.There was also a non-canon Silver Age tale (Superman vol 1 #149: The Death of Superman!) where I succeeded in killing Superman via a bout of feigned repentance and a kryptonite ray,although I ended up being imprisoned in the Phantom Zone for it.Badass Boast: The page quote is one of my personal favorites. Also...\"Lex Luthor of Earth. You want it all.\"\"I am the villain of the story.\"\"I am Lex Luthor. I am the greatest scientist on this planet, and would be on yours as well.\"(On being told that surviving the Source Wall requires a 12th level intellect) \"Then I'm overqualified.\"Badass in a Nice Suit: Occasionally, I will put on mypower suit. I don't need a purple and green spandex suit to be a truly menacingSuper Villain.Badass Normal: I have no consistent powers besides my intellect, though I have used an exoskeletal suit from time to time. My attempts at procuring a replacement for my orange ring put me up against some of the most powerful \"villains\" in my world. They had no chance, really.Bald of Evil: Gene Hackman may have been living in denial, but it was there. Oh, yes. EvenJohn SheaandJesseEisenbergwent there eventually.Michael RosenbaumandKevin Spaceyunderstood this from the beginning.Battle Butler: Meet my chauffeur,Mercy Graves. Sometimes accompanied by another henchwoman of mine, Hope.Berserk Button: Go ahead, tell me I \"can't do something.\" Please.I won't take it the wrong way. Aside from that,Supermanandthat idiotic clownare two things that have a tendency to be quite... vexing.Beware the Superman: I am constantly reminding people of how unwise it is to put one's fate in the hands of an alien who, when he inevitably goes rogue, could be a threat to all life on Earth. Considering all he has to do to win back their affection is to rescue a kitten from a tree (as if ordinary humans can't dothat...), it's something of an uphill battle.On that note I never have or ever truly will bring myself to trust anyone categorized under themetahuman thesisperiod. I've stated this simple fact over the years during and before my presidency, thatHuman Society can overcome anythingon its own when we're not relying on the feted mercies ofFreaks and Monsters.Big Bad: According to Superman, I am responsible for all the turmoil in Metropolis and behind everyEvil Plan... In truth, I should be theBig Goodbecause my efforts keep him occupied when he could otherwise turn on humanity at large.Board to Death: I was quite bemused to learn of my 64th century successor's penchant for this.Body Horror: I'd rather not think about the Luthor-Brainiac \"team-up\" inWhat Ever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow, thank you. Or the one inJustice League Unlimited, for that matter.As a consequence of my near-constant exposure to kryptonite radiation from the ring I wore as a weapon against Superman, I eventually contracted an unusually agressive form of cancer that quite literally caused my body to rot away. I only escaped a gruesome fate by moving my mind to a younger, healthy clone body.Brains Evil, Brawn Good: I am more reliant on intellect and less on strength than Superman is. Regardless of how intelligent he may be, he tends to solve his problems with his fists.Breakout Villain: I was originally a powerful but minor adversary for Superman, but I ended up becoming popular enough to take the spot of hisArch-Enemyfrom the creators' first choice, the Ultra-Humanite.But for Me, It Was Tuesday: I will occasionally utterly destroy a metahuman foe I've had no prior contact with, just for variety, like when I severedSwamp Thing's connection to Earth at the behest of his enemies in the goverment. Very few of the superhero community can offer the challenge of Superman and Batman.Cardboard Prison: I have the best lawyers in theworld. Put me away, I'll be out within the week. Back in myscientistdays, I'd often be outwithin thehour. I still can be if I want to be, but why waste the time?Card-Carrying Villain: See for yourself inAll-Star Superman, variousSilver Agestories, theSuperman filmsand the Season 10 finale ofSmallville. In themovie, I literally call myself \"the Greatest Criminal Mind on Earth\" - hey, if you're going to be something, may as well be the top of your field!Care-Bear Stare: I once released the Zone Child from the Phantom Zone, defeated it, and gained its power to eradicate negative emotions and create eternal bliss throughout the universe. Of course, I could only keep that power as long as I didn't do anything negative, like trying to destroy the Alien.No need to elaborate on how well that went down...Cassandra Truth: You expect me to belive that that bumbling dolt Perry White employs out of pity is Superman's secret identity? PREPOSTEROUS!! Why would a man with the powers of a God lower himself like that?Characterization Marches On: When I debutedin 1940, I merely wanted to facilitate a war in Europe. Inthe Silver Age, my enmity with Superman increased over some lost hair. InThe '80s, yonGreen-Eyed Monsterbecame my raison-d'etre for hating the alien. In some perspectives, I'm a humanist.Maybethe last humanist: the one who wants to deliver you all from the Kryptonian's unspeakable menace. To some extent all these alignments are laid out rather nicelyhere.The Chessmaster: I can spin a plan that has the Alien chasing his invulnerable tail.Child Hater: I've never liked children. Sue me.Chronic Villainy: Let's face it. I'll never stop until that spandex-clad bumpkin kills me... if I don't kill him first.Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Lena Luthor? Oh, yes, my daughter. I wonder what happened to her...Classic Villain: I am indeed a classic, and always classy.Complete Monster: Well, some versions of me are extremely evil, such as inKingdom Come.Composite Character:InSuperman: Speeding Bullets, I became thatclownbecause that alien scum wasBatman. Even now, he still gloats about it over me.Then there was the time I merged withRed Skullto become Green Skull.I also briefly becameDarkseid. It was intriguing to be another being who also hates the alien though even I would never attempt to destroy the Earth.Contemplative Boss: I never act without thinking (and usually standing at the window for some time).Corrupt Corporate Executive: From time to time, I am the CEO of LexCorp and I got there with my own special practicality.Cultured Badass: I simply love classic literature, philosophy, classical music, and art. Just another example of my superiority to that spandex clad simpleton.Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Sometimes I play it straight (I'm theTrope Namerfor good reason), sometimes I invert it, but I always keep my best technology and inventions to myself in order to better fight the alien.There was also the time when I was a consultant for the Sutherland Corporation on how to deal withSwamp Thinginfesting Gotham City; they just happened to be paying enough to interest me and it was an intriguing challenge.Dark and Troubled Past: Needless to say.Dartboard of Hate: I'm not above destroying some of the alien's merchandise when the mood strikes.Deadpan Snarker: One does not deal with fools like Kal-El or Zod without developing a dry sense of humor about it all.Death Is Cheap: I had a near-death experience once. I even discussed the cheapness of death with Death herself at that time.Deceased Parents Are the Best: They really are. That's why I had to have some, courtesy of my mechanic skills and a cut brake line.Demoted to Dragon: I have occasionally been forced to serve the interests of another, most notably General Sam Lane inNew Krypton. I will allow the fact that I am still alive in that timeline, and Lane is not, to speak for itself.Despotism Justifies the Means: When I rule the world, things will be much better... for me.Determinator: I do not go down that easily.Disproportionate Retribution: During the Silver Age, I destroyed the Kryptonite vaccine and became Superman's archnemesis for what reason?He made me bald. That and he humiliated me when he ruined my subsequent innovative public works projects for Smallville to prove my superiority over the alien when they developed, err, technical difficulties.Perhaps it was that firstand ending up bald second.It still added insult to injury.Don't You Dare Pity Me!: I've never been big on pity. That's for the weak. I prefer to pull myself back up by my own bootstraps, because coming back from the lowest point - that's what I, Lex Luthor, can do.Driven by Envy: Deep down, I know that I will never be Superman, and it is this, more than anything else, that fuels my hatred of him.Depending on the WriterI may or may not be aware of this.Empowered Badass Normal: I have gained metahuman powers on several occasions, most notably during theBlack Lantern invasion; I was briefly empowered by an Orange Lantern Ring, which gave me power equal to, or greater than, a member of theGreen LanternCorps. Unfortunately, not only does the orange light take a toll on one's higher functions, but Larfleeze shares his power even less willingly than I do.Enemy Mine:I've joined forces with Superman on occasion to combat a greater menace, most notably Imperiex, General Zod, and Darkseid. Oh, andwithSuperman to stopanotherSuperman.Thatwas a catharsis, to say the least.That one time I fought alongside the Alien to stop those... odd karate people.\"We're not here to help you save the world, you're here to help me get revenge on Darkseid.When this is over, it's back to business as usual.\"Even Evil Has Loved Ones:Even if I don\u2019t show it often, I do care for my sister, Lena.The days I spent with Ardora and Lex Jr. were the happiest days of my life, truly.Damn you, Alien, for causing me to accidentally destroy Lexor and my family!Even Evil Has Standards:Once in a great while, I indulge in this. Most famously, during theFinal Crisisof Man and the Multiverse, I pretended to join with Sivana and took command ofDarkseid'sarmy.In my pre-Crisisscientistdays, I could not bring myself to cause serious harm to anyone onAlbert Einstein's birthday, him beingone of the few people I truly respected.During my first time running the Injustice Gang, I once backhanded the Joker for mocking the deaths of children who died in our attack on Star City.That said, I only used the Joker's state of Martian Manhunter-induced sanity while he had the Worlogog to resurrect those killed to duck out of murder charges, nothing more.As theNinth Circlefound out, I also draw the line at Satanic cults that kidnap children and sell them as slaves.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:Kent?Superman? Preposterous. Oh, they share a certain resemblance, but why would someone with Superman's power bother with any kind of secret identity, yet alone one so humble? Some cold, logical computer tried to tell me thatnotein Superman Vol. 2 #2but I refused to believe it,andfired its programmer for that offense.Evil Is Petty:Bah. What good is power if you must pretend to be polite to the rabble while you exert it? Kick a man while he's down, rub it in his face, tell him what a useless waste of matter he is, and spit on his grave after the fact. That, my friend, ispower.What use is godhood if I can't use it to destroy my greatest foe?Evil Plan: Regardless of who is writing me, all my plans have the death of Superman as their goal.Evil Redhead: Yes. Once upon a time I had hair. In the long-ago and deeply troubledSilver Age, Superman caused its loss.And then there was the timeI faked my death and pretended to be my long lost illegitimate son from Australia...Evil Twin: Mostly these aregoodtwins, due to my nature. However, there wasthe fellowwho was turned into Kryptonian barbecue - said Kryptonian proving then and afterwards how right I am in mistrusting him - and don't get me started onAlexander Luthor Jr.Orthat other Alexander Luthor.Evil Versus Evil: When theCrime Syndicate invaded our world, it was I and my Injustice League who defeated them. (And, I might add, I had the distinct pleasure of having Ultraman beg me to kill him. Most satisfying.)Evil Versus Oblivion: The biggest reason why, despite having a common enemy on Superman,Darkseidand I don't see eye-to-eye. Total destruction of the universe and all life in itwouldbe terrible for business, after all.Exact Words:Hey, I gave Miss Teschmacher a Park Avenue address.I didn't say it wasaboveground.Expert Consultant: For the most part, providing consultancy services is beneath my dignity, and makes me appear as a merehireling\u2014 but occasionally, the price isadequateand the task is sufficiently interesting. For example, on the occasion when the creature known as \"Swamp Thing\" was holding Gotham City hostage and its so-called defenders had proved predictably incapable of resolving the problem, those mediocrities from the Sunderland Corporation asked for my advice on destroying the plant elemental. They even referred to it as \"invulnerable\". As I pointed out to them,Iknow from invulnerable, and that refugee from a canned sweetcorn label is notit. I did them the courtesy of finishing my ten minute presentation ten seconds early, as I correctly anticipated that they had not prepared my check for one million dollars and needed time to complete it.Falsely Reformed Villain: I've faked reformation before, and will do it again. One of those times allowed me to be elected President of the United States.Fantastic Racism: Aliens. Who do they think they are? I yearn to reclaim Earth for its rightful owners, humans. You may consult the following document:Lex Luthor: Man of Steel.I'm not crazy about metahumans in general, even human ones. Random industrial accidents or mutations elevating undeserving rabble to the level of gods while the truly gifted are left in the dust is infuriating.Fearless Fool: I have made myself theArch-Enemyof aPhysical Godwho can split the planet in two and have never shown any reluctance to taunt or stand up to him, nor the myriad of yet more powerful beings he counts as either allies or enemies. Recklessly foolish? Perhaps, butI'm still here to do it all over again.Fictional Political Party: AsPresident, I represented the Tomorrow Party.Final Solution: During the events ofNew KryptonI aided General Lane's conspiracy against the Kryptonians, ultimately resulting in the near extinction of the race. Alas, neither Superman, Supergirl, nor General Zod were among the fallen.First-Name Basis: Under the pen ofJohn Byrne, I insisted on being called Lex for manipulation and for profit.Five Stages of Grief: More like three stages. When I met Death, I experienced the first three stages and then, having realized what I was doing, faked depression to manipulate her (it didn't work). As I said, I don'tdo\"acceptance\".Flat-Earth Atheist: I don't care ifDeath herselfpaid me a visit, Irefuseto believe in such primitive, superstitious nonsense. I do, however, acknowledge that under \"The Big Hand Theory\", it's illogical to be an atheist, but I declare myself to be one on the moral grounds on the eve of becoming a god myself. Besides, how could a man progress in life if he has to rely on otherworldly beings and beliefs to get things done? I would much rather stand on my own two feet, even if I have to get my hands dirty for that.Former Teen Rebel: I did not appreciate my father's... controlling tendencies.For the Evulz: Do I wash my hands? No! 'Cuz I'mevil...Okay, no, that was just The Flash in my body saying that. I'm a very clean gentleman. But aside of that one incident? The trope fits...Oh, and that nasty prank I pulled on that nobody waitress; I offered an indecent proposal to her and sped off before she had the chance to answer, just so that she could spend the rest of her miserable life with \"what ifs'. Yes, that was an amusing diversion... Then twenty years later she tried to assassinate me when I was running for President.\"Freaky Friday\" Flip:Thanks to an ill fated attempt to recover information on Brainiac from Grodd's brain, I found myself trapped in Flash's body for a day, and in the Justice League's Watchtower no less. Regrettably, even with the speed of light I had no time to gather intel on my enemies with them trying to contain me.I even had the chance to learn the Flash's secret identity, only to find that he was some schmuck that could be anyone in the world. On the other hand, I did enjoy literally running circles around the so-called heroes and causing havoc in the base as I went. Even learned the Green Lantern's weakness by complete accident.Funny Animal: Much as I loathe the term \"funny animal\", there is my sapient animal counterpart who lives on the parallel world ofEarth-C-Minus, \"Lex Lemur\", who also wishes to triumph over his version of the alien, \"Super-Squirrel\".A God Am I: I think of myself as this among mortal men, lack of godlike powers not-withstanding.Good Counterpart: Oh, somealternate universe Lexapparently was the leader of the Justice League - and the sole member thanks tothatEarth's Superman, Ultraman.Greed: The orange ring said it best: I want itall.Grandfather Clause: Most people cannot conceive that I could be a challenge to the alien when similar antagonisms have the opponent at least equal and usually superior in physical power against the vigilante in question; that just goes to show how inimitable I am nowadays.Green-Eyed Monster: One of a number of explanations for why I hate the alien. Alternately, the title formy favorite article of all time, 'Why the WorldDoesn'tNeed Superman'.They gave Bruce Wayne the Man of the Year award.I should have gotten that award!Heel\u2013Face Turn: Witnessing the horrors the Crime Syndicate have brought about inForever Evil (2013), compounded with Bizarro's loyalty and selflessness towards me, made me realize that what I feared the most, all along, was facing my failures; and if I could master this fear, I would be able to do better things for this world.Thus was how I defeated my newestEviler than Thoucounterpart, saved Superman's life, gave up on the hostile takeover I had planned for Kord Industries, and accepted a presidential pardon and an invitation for theJustice League(as much as the Kryptonian might insist otherwise).Surely it might come as a shock to those of you who know the basics about me, but that's the truth - for however long it holds, at least.And predictably, as of 2018 I have reverted to type, following the epiphany I had from a brief incursion into the future: that reality should be accepted as is. And if I cannot accept my own reality, how can I act upon it?Heel Realization: InAll-Star Superman, supposedly.Heroic Build: Yes, I did have something of aweight problemin myyounger days, but a diligent exercise regimen haslong sinceeliminated the problem.Heroic Sacrifice: Would you believe I once saved Superman from Darkseid?A Hero to His Hometown: I had my own planet once and the people loved me, but I grew tired of them.And you surely can't deny I could be this to Metropolis itself if given the chance.Hidden Depths: I've evolved immeasurably from simply being spiteful over lost hair.Hoist by His Own Petard: That thrice-damned kryptonite ring the alien drove me to wear ended up saturating me with radiation, giving me leukemia!It's all his fault! If he hadn't constantly tormented me, I wouldn't have needed it!It was even worse in the original comic version which caused my body to rot. Ugh, ironic punishment is such a cliche...Hollywood Atheist:I've always been an atheist.It's not a logical choice (what with it being scientifically proven that there was a giant hand at the start of the universe), it's an ethical one. Believers always seem to be declining their responsibilities.I Am What I Am: There's nothing you can do about it.I Just Want to Be Special: How unfair is it that undeserving men like Kal-El get amazing powers and I do not?Intercontinuity Crossover: I have to admit, thatOctavius fellowwas the rare time I sincerely respected one of my partners. Must be aMad Scientistthing.Insistent Terminology: I am entirely justified in referring to him as \"The Alien\" if I wish, since the very name \"Superman\" is a lie in of itself. No matter how much the teeming masses wish to delude themselves otherwise, he willneverbe one of us!Insufferable Genius: I'm one of the smartest men in the world, if not the smartest. I'm very, very aware of it and have no problem reminding others of it.Ironic Name: My name is Lex. Ha-ha! Lex! Get it? As in, \"the law\". Oh, the irony!Irony: As ofDC Rebirth, I wear the Alien's \"S\" on myPowered Armor. After all, well, it allows me to qualify for both parts of the \"Superman\" moniker, while he will always only get the \"Super\" part right.Irrational Hatred: Some of the fools who bow beforethe alien'ssupposed \"heroics\" have suggested that I suffer from this.It's All About Me:Can no one else see that the alien's attempts at thwarting my plans are mere spite instead of some vague set of ideals about \"truth\" and other such drivel?I don't think I'll ever understand why people do not worship me as the god I truly am. And, since they won't, they'll pay for it dearly.Why did I deign to form an \"Injustice Gang\" of super-villains inGrant Morrison'sJLA? Because clearly, the only reason Superman would becomeThe Leaderof the Justice League would be to escalate his conflict withme.Karma Houdini: I object to this. That would imply I did somethingwrong. I get away with almost everything I do because deep down, you know I'mright.Kick the Dog:See theSuperman: Confidentialdossiers on this: \"That's right... I just killed your girlfriend, Superman. What are you going to do about it?\"I also killed the Flash in one universe, telling that right to Superman's face, because as the President, he couldn't touch me.Sadly, I wasmistaken.Thisremains one of my proudest moments.Lady Macbeth: My alternate universe counterpart onEarth-Onehas little interest in killing the Kryptonian, and considers the concept unethical. His wife, Alexandra, on the other hand, is fascinated by the concept, and pushes him towards doing it. One begins to wonder which of them is really Earth-One's version of me...a suspicion borne out when my counterpart dies and Alexandra blames the Kryptonian for it.Large Ham: They've got the guts to say this about me,the Greatest Criminal Mind on Earth! They'reWROOOOOOOOOONG! And nowTHEY! Are ON! The NAUGHTY! LIST!Laughably Evil: As I wasportrayedby Gene Hackman.Legion of Doom: If one exists, you can be sure I'm the oneat its head.Lust: Some would describe my desire for power and control as a \"lust\" for it.MacGyvering: I once made a jetpack out of paint chips, kitchen chemicals, and soda bottles. Just ask Joker. I was in his comic.Mad Scientist: Some of the time, when I'm not concerned with politics or economics.Magnificent Bastard: You know as well as I do that no matter how much I violate conventional views of morality, you will still love watching me do it.Manipulative Bastard: It's easier for me to persuade and twist lesser mortals to my whim than it is for the alien to shatter stone.Muggle Power: I've always been a supporter of human potential. Aliens do not have a monopoly on power.Mythology Gag: Inatleasttwo continuities (plusonewhere matters becamebizarre), the Man of Steel went evil: one involved service toDarkseid. I aspired to, or became, the US Presidentinasmanycontinuities: only in one did I drive out the Kryptonian menace.Narcissist: A loaded term. I merely maintain a healthy amount of self-respect given my accomplishments. Some would argue that this, coupled with my refusal to care about those who are not extensions of myself, and my ability to identify with beings like Brainiac and the Joker identifies me as a sufferer of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. How wrong they are.Naytheist: I am an Atheist, but not because I don't believe in God (the BigHandTheory is the predominant theory on the creation of the universe, after all). For me, Atheism is more of a way of life than a belief. I also know hell exists (as I have been there), but I refuse to believe that there is anyone who 'judges the dead', as he would need an objective point of view, which is impossible. I even tell this toDeath Of The Endless.Never My Fault: People will blame me for everything, even if I'm not behind that mishappening. It's obviously Kal-El's doing orThe Bator my idiotic henchmen.Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:That time where that alien scum BLEW UP MY WORLD!I put him in his place, but he still was strong enough to defeat me.Noble Demon: Mostly whenElliot S! Magginwas chronicling me inthe Bronze Age.Non-Idle Rich: Think of me as much likeWalt Disney; I built LexCorp to its success by keeping my hand in the company's core R & D department as my employees develop the general ideas I introduce.Not Using the \"Z\" Word: What isSupermanbut an honorific we gave him to feel good about ourselves? To me he will always bethe Alien, or\"Man of Steel\", or less often \"Kryptonian\".Obvious Trap: I once set up one to catchSuperboy(as in the alien's younger self).Talk about dumb (on his part, not mine).Off on a Technicality: People who think I should be in prison usually believe I fit this trope.The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Superman will die by my hand and only by my hand. When that mindless beast Doomsday apparently killed Superman, I... didn't take it well. Fortunately, Supermangot betterso I could deal with him myself.The Pardon: For my aid in helping the Justice League defeat theirKnight Templarcounterparts, I was given amnesty for my past crimes. Naturally, I used this to my advantage.My John Shea counterpartonce left prison thanks to a pardon signed by the President's clone. The pardon was soon revealed to be a fake, but he actually enjoyed no longer having to put up a facade.Pet the Dog:My experiences with Bizarro inForever Evil (2013)have, it seems, left me somewhat more kindly inclined to others.I also am a superhero on a planet that was so grateful to me they renamed their planet \"Lexor\" - the alien was gracious enough to let me observe their adoration while I was in jail. I wassort of moved. I tend to relax when I'm there because I'm a genuine hero there and that alien leaves it alone.Powered Armor: In a classy green and purple. I wore it frequently Pre-Crisis, and after my fall from the presidency Post-Crisis. It is equipped with a wide array of weapons, both mundane and Kryptonite-fuelled, allowing me to be a physical match for Superman, and any other \"hero\" who comes my way. When I was granted an Orange Power Ring, I used it to fashion another suit of armor for myself.The Power of Hate: The thought of dying before the alien has given me the willpower to cheat death on more than one occasion.Pragmatic Villainy: I can't rule the world if everyone's dead, now can I? Plus, duringVillain Team Ups, as much as I hatethat clown, I do invite him in on the grounds that it's safer to have that unpredictable freak on our team than to have him mad at us. A lesson my Earth-3 counterpart's sonlearned the hard way.President Evil: TheTrope Namer, although I, personally, have always felt that this title is misleading. After all, the great people of America freely chose to elect me into office, something the alien and his allies never could accept. Was it evil to enter office and promote a more technologically savvy America for the 21st century, or clean up the mess made by the previous administration? In the end, the alien and hisvigilante friendbrought me down, with assistance from Lois Lane and my treacherous successor as CEO of my company. After all is said and done, I'm not bothered by the loss at all. I mean, do you haveanyidea how much power I had to give up to be President?Pride: If you had a10th-level intellect, you'd be high on yourself too. In fact,Depending on the Writer, this is my primary motivation for my crusade against the alien; the existence of a being more powerful and more loved by the people than I is simply intolerable.Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Libra's, ahem, ideas for Supergirl duringFinal Crisiswere those of a base pervert and completely beneath me. No regrets.The Resenter: It has been said that my hatred of the alien is merely jealousy of all the loving attention that Metropolis gives its \"favorite son\".Which, I assure you, is not at all the case.Rich Genius: It is assuredly no coincidence that I am both the wealthiestandmost intelligent being on my planet. After all, what good is brilliance if one cannot profit from it?Robosexual:There have beenrumorsaboutmy close associations with Brainiacanda woman on my staff who bears a negligible resemblance to Lois Lane. All specious, naturally.If it's all the same to you,I would rather not mentionHope.Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: What money cannot buy, political influence and business connections can.Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Maybe money can't buy everything, but it can buymostthings, and if you have enough, there's very little you can't have.Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: During my term as US President, I was able to make full use of my executive power to cover up any number of \"incidents\".Serious Business:In a classic ad, mySuper Friendscounterpart once captured Superman and left him powerless under kryptonite, all just so he could coerce the secret of why his brand of peanut butter tasted so great... it was a slow week for him, and admittedly itwasrather good peanut butter.Shooting Superman: Sometimes I have shot at the alien and others of his ilk, but not because I don't know better. I... merely needed to vent my indignation. InAction Comics #286, I picked an ordinary machine gun and shot at Supergirl, sadly noting thatmy attack was harmless\u25ca.Smart People Play Chess: It's one of the best ways to keep one's mind sharp and one of the most pleasurable.Stalker with a Test Tube: This opinion on the origin of Conner Kent is a simply ludicrous and baseless accusation. I most certainlynevercared for the boy anyway, he wasmerely a means to an end.Strawman Has a Point: Despite being frequently portrayed as being in the wrong, it's painfully evident thatthe alien is far more dangerousthan those simpletons are willing to admit. Supermanhimselfconceded that he could destroy the planet without breaking a sweat, just proving that I amright to be wary about him.Suddenly Shouting: I pride myself on normally being even-tempered, but I won't hesitate to raise my voice for emphasis or even theatrics. Clancy Brown did this to express my anger at a billion-dollar loss in my first DCAU confrontation with the alien, while Jon Cryer was known to loudly call for \"Miss Tessmacher\" in the female Kryptonian's TV series.Super Intelligence: Brainiac described me as a \"10th Level Intellect\", making my intelligence superior to the combined IQs of everyone on Earth, both now (6th Level) and in the 31st Century (9th). I am also smarter than almost every individual on Colu, a planet renowned for the computer like minds of its inhabitants (8th on average). In the DC Universe as a whole, only Brainiac himself (a 12th Level Intellect) is known to be smarter than I.And even that is fixable...Surrounded by Idiots: I know how arrogant it sounds saying it, but I really am. Honestly,youtry keeping your cool when you're smarter than everyone on the planet, including our forebearersanddescendants, combined and find yourself in a situation where it really shows.It's hard to stay humbleon the best of days, but when the people around me so blatantly demonstrate how great the gap between my intellect and theirs is, I just have to vent.Myself:Why is the most diabolical leader of our time surrounding himself with total nincompoops?Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Occasionally, someone points out the similarity between myMad Scientistcharacterization, and that of Gerald Shugel, the self-proclaimed Ultra-Humanite. Preposterous, as I have become by far one of the most iconic \"super villains\" in history, while the Humanite has long since slipped into relative obscurity, and no longer even inhabits a human body.Swiss-Cheese Security: I have spent thousands of dollars in new doors from time to time. Also, see above.note(This trope used to be named Lex Luthor Security.)Tech Bro: While my portrayals in media oscillate between emphasizing myscientific credentialsor mybusiness acumen, amore recent cinematic portrayalsplit the difference by portraying me as a youthful technological entrepreneur with an informal and eccentric manner of speech and dress.Teen Genius: Not that I was properly respected for it by my jealous peers, mind you.Teeth-Clenched Teamwork:That clowngives me headaches, especially when for whatever reason I need him.Token Evil Teammate: Of the Justice League, when I joined them after the events ofForever Evil (2013).Trumplica: The post-Crisis version of myself may have a...fewsimilarities to the 45th President \u2014 though amusingly, I was president years before he was.\u00dcbermensch: I certainly am; yet analiendares call himselfSuperman?It's galling.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Onone occasion, I matched wits and technology with fellow businessmanTony Stark.I'm loathe to admit, however, that Stark would ultimately emerge victorious in the end.And on another occasion, I had come to blows withthe King of Latveriawhen he attempted to seize my resources.Alas to my chagrin, I fared no better against him than against Stark.Ungrateful Bastard:Oftentimes the alien has mistakenly thought he was \"saving\" my life. How... cute, thinking that I need his help to save myself. Of course the alien god would condescendingly think we, poor mortals, can not get by without him.InAction Comics #286,Supergirlsaved my life.THAT ALIEN WENCH!And she delighted in declaring she \"saved\" me because she did not want me to escape my -completely and ridiculously unjust- life-term jail sentence through death! There and then\"I loathed [her] '''more''' than '''[her alien cousin]'''\"\u25ca.Unholy Matrimony: In theAlternate UniverseofSuperman: Earth One, I am married to one Alexandra Luthor, causing people to refer to us as \"Lex Squared\".Utopia Justifies the Means: The alien fails to grasp how much better the world could be under my guidance... and away from his influence. He naively thinks that I can do it with him around; Ican, of course, but what would be the point? What worth are our achievements when his mere existence makes them seem lacking?Villainous Breakdown:HOW DARE YOU SLANDER ME WITH IMPLICATIONS THAT I'M ASORE LOSER?! I OUGHT TO OBLITERATE YOU, YOU MISERABLE, LITTLE-GRAAAGH! ...Ahem. Let's just say I lose my temper from time to time.Villainous Valor: I'm often called \"a man fighting a god.\" Now,please. The alien is no god, but the analogy fits. I won't deny that I am one of the few cases where theArch-Enemyis weaker than the supposed hero.Villain Protagonist: For a time inAction Comicsafter theBlackest Night, for the duration ofPaul Cornell's \"Black Ring\" story arc.Also in the main series ofForever Evil (2013).Villain Team-Up: A speciality of mine, keeping such conflicting personalities in line is quite a worthy challenge. Yes, eventhat particular insane buffoon, since frankly I'd rather have him where I can see him. Duringthe Silver Ageandthe Bronze Age, he and Brainiac were among my most frequent partners-in-crime.Villainous Friendship: Despite how often Joker and I double-cross each other, eventually we'll work together again. As loathed as I am to dare say it, he's probably the closest thing I have to a true companion.Villain with Good Publicity: In the years just afterCrisis on Infinite Earths, but even after having been convicted as a criminalnoteI got pardoned after saving the world., I managed to bounce back and become the 43rd president of the United States.After saving the world inForever Evil (2013), I found myself similarly applauded.Wealthy Yacht Owner: Watchthat episode where I turned Corben into Metalloor think about the oneI've inherited from my beloved Gertrude.Hell, my firstPost-Crisisappearance under the pen of John Byrne had me as one.Well-Intentioned Extremist:In onecontinuity, it was my destiny to stopthe Travelerfrom destroying Earth.Kal-El will never threaten the world again.Of course, I really do have the best interest of humanity at heart (being the great person I am). I will save themwhen they recognize my greatness. I'm a lotlike Prometheus, I just want to bring fire to the people... and of course I want my cutof the spoils.Will Not Be a Victim: I refuse to be rendered weak, powerless, or helpless at the hands of another, be they man, beast, or extraterrestrial force. I had an ex-employee of mine killed in front of his wretched family for sucker-punching me because he, if only for a moment, made me feel helpless.Would Hurt a Child: Children are expendable if it helps me thwart that alien.Would Hit a Girl: I rarely stoop to hitting females. It is usually a disgraceful form of behaviour. Nevertheless, it is, on occasion necessary. Frankly, a gender disparity is frequently irrelevant, as in the case ofSupergirl, the alien's cousin, who is Kryptonian and so can bear far more punishment than any human of any gender.Wrath: Rage at the alien, and at those who aid him, is my right as a human being.You Could Have Used Your Powers for Good!: Superman made a point of this when he went missing for a year, and I spent it trying to find him instead of working on the betterment of mankind. But I swear on my mother's soul that mankind will not benefit from my labour until the alien rots in the ground!You Killed My Father: Actually,Ikilled my father.Sic semper tyrannis.You're Insane!: And Superman will st-WROOOOOOOONNNGGGG!"} {"text": "The Main Man don't like bein' looked at funny, fanboys.\"The name's Lobo.

That ain't my real name, by the way \u2014you dweebs can't pronounce it, but it translates toHe Who Devours Your Entrails And Thoroughly Enjoys It.I'm the best fraggin'bounty hunterthe galaxy has to offer \u2014 ferget the guy in thepotbowl helmet. I grew up on a rock named Czarnia, which was full of dweebs. So when I took chemistry in high school, I mixed upsomethin' specialto show 'em how I really felt.Fragged every last one of themfor that year's Science project,gave myself an A. Anyways, afterwards I got hold of a chain and hook, and a nice bike, and I've pretty much been boozin' and fightin' my way across the galaxy ever since.Some of the nerds around here might try to tell ya I'm some sort of parody of a'90s Anti-Hero, but try laughin' at the Main Man and I'll blow yer head off. In any case I predate most of them, first appearing inOmega Men#3 (June, 1983),The Dark Age of Comic Bookswhere those guys became standard didn't start for about another three years. Records of my life turned up in my own4 issue mini-series(November, 1990-February, 1991). The readers seemed to love it, as more mini-series turned up and sold well. I next got my own regular series which lasted for 64 issues, from December, 1993 to July, 1999. Not that I ever stopped appearing in the pages of series named after other guys.I also had my ownwebserieswhich chronicle my fragging awesome adventures throughout the galaxy. Like my comics, it's not for fraggin' youngsters or old timers.Other'n that, I'm pretty much what I look like. Exceptthat time they merged me with aduck.

Yer's trully prides himself of bein' the first character who madethe line'tween theHeroic Comedic Sociopathand theVillain Protagonistso blurry that nowadays is unexistent! ... whattaya say?Anti-Hero Substitute: Afterthe Big Blue Boyscoutseemed like he bought it on theJustice Leaguecartoon, yours truly showed upto take his place, since no-one else besides the Main Man woulda been man enough to do it. Some ofSuperman's enemiestried goin' after us, and I ended up fightin' that tutu-wearin', daisy-sniffin, showtune-singin', broccoli-eatin',sensitivity-expressin'panty-waist Kalibak. I ended up buryin' him under a pile of smashed cars until the little sissy-mary finally agreed to say \"Uncle\".

In fact, I ain't even Czarnian; inOmega MenI'm a Velorpian whose species got fragged by the Psions. Nobody ever talks about that though... if they know what's good for them.

Maybe.Hilarity Ensues: Oh boy, this could have an entire page dedicated to it. In fact, itshouldhave a page dedicated to it! But I guess ol\u2019 Lobo can tell you aboutThe Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special. In it, a couple finds a book about how the Easter Bunny got drunk and hired me to take out ol\u2019 Santa. It\u2019s as amazing as it sounds.Hooks and Crooks: I do love me some hook action. (I wasn't able to use it much in my TVcartoonappearances, though, and you know why?Too hard to animate, they said!

Still, if I was able to sow doubt and unrest amongst thy subjects, the day was a good one for Loki, the Trickster!\"\u2014Loki(For full effect, read in the voice ofTom Hiddleston,Graham McTavish,Troy Baker, orCrispin Freeman.)Welcome, Midgardian, or whichever other insignificant being you might be. (The Internet's becoming quite popular, after all.)BEHOLDthe majesty of Loki Laufeyson, Prince of Asgard and Jotunheim, God of Mischief and Evil or maybe Lies or... well, we wouldn't want to spoil the surprise would we? The universe's rightful king andArch-EnemyofThe Mighty Thor, your hero andmy dear, weak, softhearted sibling.(Or, you know, hi. I'm flexible that way.)I was born of Laufey, King of the Frost Giants, in an age long since past, but of course, mytruebeginnings lie with aman with a typewriter,and his partner, who brought me, my world, and the rest of thecosmosinto existence in1960s, the so-calledSilver Age. Rest assured, mortal, I know the truth of my reality, and I can even claim credit for sharing it witha well-known otheranddestroying his already fragile grasp on our fake reality.Readers were introduced to me in\"Journey into Mystery\" vol. 1 #85 (October, 1962)Laufey wasa brute of a father, ashamed as he was of my comparatively non-giant size, but as luck\u2014and mine own hand\u2014would have it, Laufey would be slain in battle with the All-Father Odin, Lord of Asgard, and thanks to his love and pity I was taken from Jottunheim and raised as his own son as an Aesir, the giant who became a god, alongside his bloodson Thor.But as Thor and I aged so did my happiness fade. The Asgardians\u2014a race of proud warrior deities, loved Thor for his courage, his might, his reckless buffoonery, whilst my talents lay in cunning and sorcery.And like a true brother, I came to detest him.I arranged for Thor to be exiled to your puny world of Midgard in mortal form, and plotted his death, unleashing scores of monsters and mayhem upon your world in pursuit of that goal, whilst in Asgard I schemed to realize my destiny and take my rightful place on the Allfathers' throne. My plots against Thor were thwarted time and again, and when I pitted him againstThe Incredible HulkI made new mortal enemies whenEarth's Mightiest Heroesunited for the first time, in opposition of me.But Loki cannot be humbled. I bartered with other mortals and gave them power to fight this new team; I schemed with other villains \u2014for what am I if not a villain?\u2014 and sought to defeat Thor and his allies with their aid; and I worked, tirelessly still, to one day claim Odin's crown which looks so much better on my noble head than it does my feeble brother's.And after decades and centuries of planning and plots, I finally achieved my goal \u2014 and for my troubles, Thor brought aboutRagnarok.I did not seek the destruction of Asgard; I haveneversought somethingso terrible, but Thor's actions freed us from the tyranny ofthe Shadow gods, and we were reborn.I returned as a woman, but regained my masculinity in short order, and once again worked for the good of Asgard... and the defeat of Thor. But I paid a heavy price for my actions and I died once again, only to rise once more this time as a child \u2014 innocent, trusting, but still wily as Mischief must be.Unfortunately \u2014 or fortunately, one supposes, depending upon how you choose to look at it, I managed to rather... sunder myself in the process. Or rather, theoldme did. You see, I'm not the Loki I once was \u2014 literally. The child-Loki was a copy, but I \u2014 the one destined to guide him and then take over his body after he had earned back the love and trust of my dear idiot of a brother amnotthe one who made the copy. I'm a bit of a copy myself now, actually \u2014 seems my skill at mischief is great enough that I was able to successfullyLoki ''myself''. And sure, while I did end up nearly causing the meltdown of reality as we know it during my stint with those inperturbableYoung Avengers, I discovered my heart just wasn't in it anymore.I have become more... appreciative, of Thor my brother, for at least he, alone among the Aesir, treats me with trust and love. I now put my mind towards more... benevolent ends, and have assisted Thor and his friends in their hours of need \u2014 even if I am still more savvy abouthow their principles sometimes get in the way of their own good.And still I work for the good of Asgard, the only true home I have ever known, and in the All-Mother's secret service. After all, sometimes it takes a littlebadto dogood... For my misfortunegetting away with... from a past (and future) like mine proved harder than originally anticipated but I can safely say I face theSecret Warsas achangedperson.A series of films tells the tales ofThor and me, as well ashis allies. The lofty task of portraying my glorious likeness was given to oneTom Hiddleston. One cannot imagine how delighted I was to see that he performed his role masterfully. The fact that he has alsocaught the desires of many a mortal womanas myself is an especially delicious triumph over my half-brother. And if not forthat green beast of few words, the outcome of the second film would have been far more enjoyable... At any rate, I also appearin the sequel, where I'm up to my old tricks again which has a most satisfying ending where I now sit on the throne of Asgard. And such anhandsomeman he is too \u2014 so much that I modeledmy new face\u25caon his portrayal. Life imitating art and whatnot. (Or is itart imitating art)? I would presume that the majority of you newer fans are reading my page in his alluring voice at this very moment. (Or the voice that belongs toGraham McTavish, for those of you who are more animation-inclined and familiar with me as well as my exploits. OrJos\u00e9 Gilberto Vilchis, who masterfully translated Hiddleston's performance into the Latin Spanish dialect.) The other movies, better not talk about them. Not so much forThor removing me from the throne, Odin's first born Hela beating us two with no effort, and \"get help\", but because ofThanos snapping my neck. Though not even death stops me \u2014the Avengers returned to when they defeated me and allowed me to escape! This gave Hiddlestona whole series to depict my gloryonDisney+online streaming \u2014 in spite ofpestilencesetbacks \u2014 and the show even brought in more Lokis, including a woman and an alligator!For some of my other exploits can be foundhere,hereandhere.Comic BooksJourney into MysterySiegeJourney into Mystery (Gillen)Young AvengersVol. 2Loki: Agent of AsgardVote LokiAnimeMarvel Disk Wars: The AvengersFilm\u2013 AnimationHulk Vs.Thor: Tales of AsgardFilm\u2013 Live-ActionLoki inMarvel Cinematic UniverseThorThe AvengersThor: The Dark WorldThor: RagnarokAvengers: Infinity WarAvengers: EndgameLive-Action TVLokiVideo GamesMarvel Ultimate AllianceMarvel: Avengers AllianceSuper Hero Squad OnlineLEGO Marvel Super HeroesWestern AnimationThe Marvel Super HeroesSpider-Man and His Amazing FriendsThe Super Hero Squad ShowThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest HeroesUltimate Spider-ManAvengers AssembleTropes associated with Loki:Abusive Parents: Laufey wasnota good father, but he suffered for his transgressions. As a time-travelling adult I took revenge on my wounded progenitor with a sword, screaming \"YOU WILL NEVER STRIKE ME AGAIN!\"That bastard briefly came back to life during my misadventures with Young Avengers. Let it be know our reunion was anything but happy - he literally tried toeat me!Aborted Arc: The mortal known asSpider-Manonce aided me in subduing my wayward daughter,leaving a debt I've yet to pay.\u25caDue to the Siege, and othereventsI doubt I'll ever have the chance.Adaptational Heroism: My movie counterpart. In there I amAnti-Villainmotivated by my desire for Odin to give the same affection he gave Thor, which is hurt when I learned I was adopted. After my appearance as theBig BadinThe AvengersI acted as anAnti-Heroassisting Thorand even made aHeroic Sacrificeagainst Thanos.A Day in the Limelight:There are some who see Loki as the hero that he is and as of #622, I- in my younger form- have taken over the main Thor books as the protagonist (Thor is the protagonist in another one) and they have been renamed Journey in Mystery, to great critical acclaim. Along with my solo adventures as of October 2012 I am also a member of the Young Avengers.In 2014, I trust you'll all go scurrying off to your local comic vendors in order to get your little mortal paws on my new solo series,Loki: Agent of Asgard.My movie counterpart receivedhis own series, which was a big successand it appears the writers have even further plans to make me the focus of my own storyline in the future.My plans for 2016 include running for president of the US so don't you mortals forget toVote Loki!Affably Evil: Depending on my mood, but just because I'ma ruthless manipulatordoesn't mean I can't becivilabout it.Alas, Poor Villain:My apparent death inThor: The Dark Worldhad everyone, including Thor shaken by it. Except I survived.Always Someone Better:LIES!!!!Loki has NO EQUAL, much less a superior. Nevertheless in Asgard, because of my giant heritage, I was always overlooked for my accursed brother, Thor. This, coupled withAbusive Parentsabove, is what lesser beings say is the source of my nature but truly I simply am who I am.Ambition Is Evil:Myambitions are, or so Thor and the fools of Asgard seem to believe.Amplifier Artifact: The Norn Stones are my most prominent though I have a collection of these.Amnesiac Dissonance: The point of the New Journey into Mystery Arc-I was a preteen again, with no memories from before my preteen years (except for in my nightmares). I therefore do not remember my hatred of Thor, which started when we were teens. Instead, Iadore him.I certainly remember the big oaf now, but my feelings toward him have been quite warmed all the same.Anti-Anti-Christ: Ancient prophecies tell me that it's my destiny to bring forth Ragnar\u00f6k, but why would I ever do so? Even at my most vil...determinedI only wanted to rule the Nine (or Ten) Realms not destroy them. Strange. (Yes. In the countless repetitions of the cycle I always did so at the end, but it was rarely my original intention.)Anti-Hero: My newer comics incarnations have feared nothing more than becoming the God of Evil once more, but we are still theGod of Mischief.Arch-Enemy: I am Thor's greatest and most personal enemy.Arrow Catch: InThe Avengers, I briefly managed this with Hawkeye's arrow. Right up until itliterallyblew up in my face, anyway.Astral Projection: One of my numerous skills is to project my spirit.The Atoner: My younger incarnations have attempted this role.It's surprisingly difficult, but of course Loki is sufficiently resourceful.The Bad Guy Wins: Several times, I have succeeded in my quest to rule Asgard! In early issues, this was done by stealing my stepfather's Odin-ring, which made me supreme ruler. When Thor tried to protest, our dear father responded byremoving his mouth\u25ca. Sadly, such conquests rarely last more than a few issues.Badass Bookworm: My intelligence is without question and I may be an unusually scholarly Asgardian, but I am still a Norse god, and one does not grow up amongst the Aesir without learning how to fight, nor have a blood feud withThe Mighty Thorwithout beinggoodat it.Batman Gambit: Why does the Caped Crusader get this named after him when I have been playing Thor, the Avengers and all of Asgard like a fiddle since time immemorial?Becoming the Mask: As I said repeatedly: Loki is always Loki (and only fights for Loki), but which, can be quite the question. For example, is young me my kid version,whose body he inhabits, and part he plays;or the old,whose memories and personality he possesses, but part tries to avoid;or maybe somehowin-between? For what it's worth I'm hoping for a solution that makes meless predictable. But I'm sad to say thehousealmostalways wins.And it won. But too late for my tastes, which prompted me, well, King!Loki me, toMake Wrong What Once Went Right(or was it the other way around?). What happened? Let's just say sometimes I really hatebutterflies.Being Evil Sucks: I have been plagued by a guilty conscience, taking the form ofthe so-called \"Kid Loki\", whose soul I destroyed when I took over his body as part of my ploy to avoid the ignominy of predictability.Hamletfigures prominently in his accusations.Big Bad:Of manyThorstories, as well as both the firstAvengersstory and thefilm(though, admittedly in the latter I was in an alliance withThanos, but he stayedin the shadowsthe entire time, leaving me to beThe Heavy).I am also the true villain ofJourney into Mystery (Gillen)andLoki: Agent of Asgard, despite being the hero of both; I truly am complicated.I also served as this during the first season ofThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.I am also, surprisingly enough,the villain ofYoung Avengers, as I struck analliance with Motherin order to gain control of Wiccan and his powers.Well, until I changed my mind at least. That story deserved a happier ending, damn it.Big Brother Worship:Perhaps I might be a little... dishonest with myself, insofar as how much I truly detest Thor, and I might begrudgingly admit there are some things I might admire about him, at least now that I have forgotten that I ever hated him in the first place. Even ifdaddy doesn't like it.As \"Kid Loki\" at least, I'm justified with this line of thought, as Thor is currently the only person who likes me at all and is nice to me.How deep does our love for that slightly dimwitted brother of ours go? When young me faced aSadistic Choiceof dying orbecoming like past me, wesolved itby destroying ourself almost completely to remake ourself but what we chose to hang on to was ouronly friendship, our self-determination, andour love for the big oaf.Big Damn Heroes: I made quite the entrance inThor: Ragnarokas I came with the gladiators of Saakar and a stolen starship to save the Asgardians from Hela's undead warriors. I even got beat several of those walking skeletons.Black Magic: One of the many branches of power available to me and another contrast with my muscle bound brute of a brother.Brains Evil, Brawn Good: So Thor's sycophants would have you believe, but intellect is always superior to physical might.Breakout Villain: My comic iteration has always been a staple of Thor's storylines. However, a case could be made formy movie counterpart.He is considered the best \"early\" villain of the MCU (which for a while had villains who - while not always terrible - were regarded as lackluster, especially compared to the heroes). My iteration was the sole exception (for a while) and has since gone on to become one of its most beloved characters, to the point he was givena show of his own.Buffy Speak: I'm approximately equivalent to a human of about twenty-one years of age now that I've gotten a fresh start in this new body of mine, and have become quite fond of your Western pop culture. Is it any wonder I sometimes do the... adjective fail thingy?Cain and Abel: Well, duh! I am in the role of Cain while my brother is the Abel!Card-Carrying Villain:Iamthe God of Mischief and Evil, after all.My future self, King Loki laughs his ass off at the assumption that a magic sword, which forces anyone stabbed by it to face the whole truth about himself can have any effect on him - he knows exactly what a villain he is and loves every moment of it.Chick Magnet: While lesser mortals would think this only applied to me after the success of the movies, in myvery first appearance\u25caI wooed my brother's lover, Jane Foster. I have also had the Enchantress, Lorelei, and Sif interested in me.Child of Two Worlds: Born as son of the Frost Giant chieftain, but adopted and raised by Asgardian royal family I can truly say I'm. Not that I ever really belonged to either society as both equally loathe me, albeit for different reasons. Loki is Loki. Unmatched in my own uniqueness.Child Prodigy: As Kid Loki, I possess an exceptional vocabulary and my usual silver tongue, and am a master of ancient mystical languages and codes.Chronic Villainy:Right before allowing himself to be overwritten by my memories, my child self called me out on it.Classic Villain:Prideand Ambition are my principal traits and liars would have you believe that I also possessEnvy.Clever Crows: Ikol, the magpie containing the memories of what Loki was before he died. Since then my new incarnation developedquite an associationwith these birds... some might even suggest for someotherreasonsbeside our intelligence, which is nonsense of course.Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: For my most adventures performing tasks in Midgard for the All-Mother (tales I was allowing to be told in my own series,Loki: Agent of Asgard) and also when later troll... visiting my brother's\u2026 um replacement's book (which you should know isThor (2014)), upon seeing the reaction Mr.Tom Hiddlestongot in films, I decided to model mynew face\u25caon his likeness. It isn't without its difficulties, however, as I had to move my apartment once after beingrepeatedly confused\u25cafor some Midgardian namedHarry Styleswhich probably won't be a problem after I got older.Consummate Liar: I would say that I do not lie nearly so often as everyone else seems to believe; then again, I am sogoodat it, aren't I?Cool Helmet: I admit it looks better on my live action incarnation.Cool Sword: I was, for a time, owner of Gram, sword of Sigurd (the Ever-Glorious), a sword that forces all injured by it to face the truth. Time-travel plays nosmall part in its complicated origins. Alas, my brother, in a typical moment of brainlessness and rage, destroyed it.Cool and Unusual Punishment: InThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, after my defeat at the end of the first season, Odin locked me in a prison wherein a giant snake dripped poison into my eyes. A punishment copied from the original mythology, no less. But if you call that \"cool\" again, I'll put you through it, and see how \"cool\" you think it is.Daddy's Little Villain:If only.MydearHelais neither little \u2014 thrice my size, in fact; apparently giantism skips a generation \u2014 nor particularly fond of me. Our relationships are rather\u2026 strained, at best, and though we sometimes co-operate most of the time, the ungrateful wretch wants nothing to do with me. Unfortunately, as the Goddess of the Dead she is much more powerful than me as well, and worse I may even be destined to someday end up in her custody. Apparently, the insolent fool thinks me rather\u2026 childish, but I am the God of Mischief after all, so I do have a reputation to live up to.Though the fact that she's not really my daughter at all might have something to do with it. Girls, am I right?Dark and Troubled Past: My early childhood was littered with neglect and physical abuse. Also the fact I'm a runt giant, 1/5 the size of my kindred however if my oaf of a father had not abandoned me in the ice, Odin would not have taken me in and I might not have evolved into the god I am.Dating Catwoman:I once had a prolonged relationship withStorm, of theX-Men, when she and theNew Mutantswere stranded in Asgard \u2014 I even gave her back herElemental Powers, as she had been depowered at the time. When I was\u2026 persuaded\u2026 to send them all back to Midgard, I offered her a chance to stay with me as my queen, and even had to admit to myself that having her as my own might have been worth losing the throne. While she turned down my generous offer, and I have scorned her ever since, I did sentimentally take the molten remains of the thunder-hammer I had used to empower her and reshape it into a statue of her to keep as a momento.Some people have not let go of the fact that when I empowered Storm, I did so by giving her a hammer very much likeMj\u00f6lnir. Or of the fact her outfit was basically a feminized version of my brother's\u2026Deadpan Snarker: Very much so. My live action incarnation has some moments this that are likely the funniest moments in the Avengers film.Deal with the Devil: I have been pressed-ganged into deals with actual devils at times, such as my forced alliance withthe dread Dormammu, but I have been on the better end of this more often than not; Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man, is just one of many mortals who have gainedspecial giftscourtesy of myself. If I may be so modest, I am rather more honorable in my dealings than others that might be mentioned\u2026Distaff Counterpart: So unmatched is Loki that I am myownDistaff Counterpart.Not for the first time, either.Do Not Adjust Your Set: I pulled this once onApocalypse, appearing on one of his television monitoring screens and then having a chat with him from it, then popping out of it to have a proper conversation. It was fun until he took me prisoner with hisAnti-Magictech\u2026Doppelg\u00e4nger Spin: I have had this power since the first Avengers story, though I use it more frequently in the movies.Dying Moment of Awesome:InThor: The Dark World, I managed to slay Kurse after Thor proved no match for him before the brute fatally wounded me in turn. Subverted as I survived.Easily Forgiven:Thor and Odinalwaysforgive me in the end and give me another chance, but I refuse to accept their mercy.Averted with my return as a child. Odin has apparently run out of patience with Thor being the only reason I have not been banished or killed. Theonlyperson who has forgiven me is Thor. Everyone else wants to kill me.Initially averted with myMarvel Cinematic Universeincarnation. Thor and Odin do not forgive me after my attempted invasion of Migard, and Thor only releases me since he expected me to help deal with Malekith. But eventually played straight inThor: Ragnarok, whereOdin declares his love and even praises me for managing to enchant him before dying, and Thor and I finally reconcile after I return in aBig Damn Heroesmoment and save all of Asgard's people by providing an evacuation ship and help him in defeating Hela.Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Though really, I preferstriking.Enemy Mine:Surtur once attempted to destroy Asgard. Odin and Thor stood in his way. I temporarily put aside my differences with my father and brother to fight Surtur at their side.My role inThor: The Dark World. Malekith killed our mother, and Thor convinced me to go along with a plan of his for revenge.I once tried to manipulateMr. Sinisterinto stealing my genetic material from Doctor Doom, whoseAnti-Magicprevented me from doing it myself. Circumstances forced us to fight our way out together.I once teamed up with Spider-Man. I wanted to save one of my children from being possessed by Morwen, and Spider-Man wanted to save the worldand to get Morwen to stop hitting on him.Enemy Without:Leah of Hel and the former lovers of Young Avengers, who joined Mother's side, all turned out to be creations of my guilty conscience that I subconsciously brought to life to punish myself for killing Kid Loki.Andthat titanthinksheis his own greatest enemy.Enfant Terrible:Some claimI was exceptionally wicked even as a child. My film incarnation appearsto have been an innocent at first,but thenThor claimed that I stabbed him at the age of eight.Even Evil Has Standards:I seek to rule Asgard; I donotseek to destroy it.When the time came for my younger self to make an inspiring speech to the Angels of the Tenth Realm, I felt it prudent to address the pressing fact that they would be killingbabies. At almost tedious length, at that.Evil Chancellor: Prince Balder could not have hada more trustworthy adviser\u2026Evil Is Petty: Loki is never petty! Admittedly, my main motivation is showing up my pathetic brother, by any means necessary but then, I'd say he had it coming.The Evil Prince: Well, I am a Prince, rightfully a king and I amverygood at being evil.Evil Plan: I set my sights on Odin's throne or otherwise see how I can make Thor suffer.Evil Sorcerer: My knowledge of the mystic arts is unparalleled in all of Asgard, even though many mighty sorcerers and sorceresses make it their home.Evil Versus Oblivion: I already have stated as much my aim is conquest, not destruction. I stated this simply during a fight with Surtur, there's is no point in my ruling all that I survey if all I survey is burned to a cinder.Fan Disservice: During my brief stint as king of Asgardia, I spent a night with a concubine who was a \"gift\" from Karnilla. I was revolted by it the next morning, but spared her feelings by telling her she did well enough.Fanservice: There is a gloriousnude likeness of mein the first issue ofLoki: Agent of Asgard.I really am terribly handsome.(Or at least that incarnation is.)Father Of A Thousand Young: AsSpider-Manwas once surprised to learn,Norse gods have a lot of time on their hands.While most of my children, are normal enough and mortal, I do have a few that are either immortal, such as Hela and Vali Halfling, or have\u2026 not inherited my handsome looks, such as Fenrir and the Midgard Serpent.The Fighting Narcissist: If you must use such a loaded term I would say that it merely maintains a healthy and realistic awareness of my own greatness, but I can certainly fight and my style is far more based on grace and agility than brute strength.Forced Transformation: Amongst other things, I have transmogrified Thor into a frog and my own grandfather into the snow- yes,thesnow, as in, all snoweverywhere.For the Evulz:NormanOsbornwas an amusing toy\u2026 for a while.The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: As Hall H learned the hard way at Comic Con 2013.From the Mouths of Babes: As Kid Loki, I enjoy villainous talk such as threats to dismember various infernal entities, even if I am bluffing about the actual villainy. I also observed that the mortals of the Internet\"like to rut and chronicle the experience pictorially\", to Thor's unease.Gender Bender: I have been known to take on feminine form, in particular that of my brother's lover, Lady Sif. Why Sif? To torment him, of course. Not that that actually affected my gender (I still referred to myself as Odin'sson, Thor'sbrother, generallyheand so forth)God of Evil: God of MischiefandEvil. Albeit I made arrangements to change that and became the God of Mischief and Lies instead for a while, at which point my destiny split: Either I go back to the previous title, because \"liesareevil, right?\", orpush it more and become the God Mischief andStories.Good Old Fisticuffs:While plotting out my far-reaching plans before theSiegeevent I realized I needed control of the Dsir,The Dreadedundead Valkyries that eat souls. So naturally the best option was tobeat them into submissionwith my bare hands.I also haveslapped\u25caEric Masterson to the brink of unconsciousness.Hand Blasts: Just in case you start thinking I'm all guile and manipulation, I lift my hand and fry your fatally incorrect hide.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: I've become one in theMarvel Cinematic Universe, I make a turn every film I am in. I spent years in Asgard as Thor's ally before I ruined his big day and got him banished to Earth, then began my plot to wipe out the Frost Giants and win Odin's favor. When Thor beat me, I ended up meeting Thanos and cut a deal with him where I would bring him the Tesseract, which happened to hold on of the six Infinity Stones, and he would lend me an army to that allow me conquer Earth and rule over your mortals, as I have right to. After my defeat I will stuck in a prison on Asgard, and Thor broke me out in hopes I will help him against Malekith.As the dark elf killed our mother, I did help him,but I also took the chance to fake my own death and leave Odin on Earth, allowing me to rule Asgard disguised as him. It was fun, especially the part whereI set myself up as Asgard's savior, until Thor saw through it and coerced me into helping him look for Odin. Turns out he had gone missing from where I had left him, then he died allowing Hela to return. When Thor and I got stuck on Sakaar fleeing from her, I worked my way into the Grandmaster's good graces and to keep it that way, I pretended to help Thor's break out with the intent of eventually capturing me. Unfortunately my brother had gotten wise to my tricks by this point and anticipated my treachery, and left me with some words about how predictable I was. When the rest of the slaves broke out, I actually took Thor's words to heart and decided to be Asgard's savior for real and helped out people escape. As to whether or not this sticks, well you'll have to wait and find out.The last one did indeed stick. InAvengers: Infinity WarThanos came to our ship for the Infinity Stone I took from Asgard. He was going to kill Thor so I handed it over after he gambit to defeat by distracting him until the Hulk blindsided him failed. I pretended to once again betray Thor to work for Thanos in attempt to kill him with a knife since that madman was going to kill us both. All I got out of that was a broken neck.Horns of Villainy: My golden circlet does nicely complement my black hair and green eyes. The horns were considerably more prominent on my earlier, villainous incarnation; mydelightful new incarnationhas gone for a bit more subtlety. MyMarvel Cinematic Universeincarnation has done similarly, wearing a magnificent set of horns inThe Avengers (2012)while attempting to conquer Midgard and a much smaller one when playing a more ambiguous role inThor: Ragnarok.Idiot Ball: Even I must admit thatallowing myself to be deceived by that despicable Midgardian known as Peter Parkerwas not one of my finer moments.I Love You Because I Can't Control You: My newest incarnation seems to be developing an attachment to a certain MissVerityWillis because she can see through any sort of lies and illusions, and is therefore very hard for me to fool.Inferiority Superiority Com\u2026LIES!!!!No doubt spawned by my brother. I am entirely secure in my superiority andDO NOT OVERCOMPENSATE!!!It's All About Me:\"There are no men like me.\"Odin might fight for Asgard, and Thor may fight for Midgard, butI fight for myself.Kick the Dog:When confronting the Power Pack, I used the fact that their grandmother was dying to my advantage and taunted them about it.Kill and Replace:One incarnation of me did this to another. One of my greatest regrets.Killing Your Alternate Self:Kid Loki, I am so terribly sorry.Kneel Before Zod: Loki will often demand that lesser beings bow to him. As you should.Lack of Empathy: I think myself above you? Well yes.Large Ham: I need to enjoy myself while displaying my superiority to those pathetic Midgardians!Lean and Mean: My lack of excessive muscle mass is associated with my mischief because it further contrasts me with Thor.Level Ate: One of my\u2026more frivolousacts of mischief was to change buildings and cars into candy.Magic Knight:I much prefer to manipulate things from afar or use magic than to resort to barbarian methods\u2026 but if Ineed to fight,I WILL fight!The Disir learnedthe hard waywhat happens to those who underestimate my battle prowess.The Man Behind the Man: On several occasions, the villains Thor defeats were my stooges.Manipulative Bastard: And an excellent one at that.I've manipulated everyone in Asgard at some time or another. Fitting, given that I amthe god of deception. Oh and in this case, \"bastard\" is meant literally. I insist that I'm not really the \"God of Lies\", just mischief. Of course, I'm such a good liar anyway, who could ever tell?I am so good that even when people know not to trust me (which has been Status Quo for fifteen real time years), I still end up manipulating them anyway.My younger self needs to be this since I don't have my magic, only my brains and my silver tongue.I am not above manipulatingincarnations ofmyselfeither.Man of Wealth and Taste: When I travel to the mortal realm, at least inthe good old days, I try to dress my best- I lookgood in a suit, after all. Thor lacks my sense of styleand calls me a witch because of it.Master of Illusion: My film incarnation in particular is fond of this, but I of the 616th universe am more than his equal in my own right.Memory Gambit:\"Kid\" Lokiwas a scheme to let me return from death with a new lease on life and a better reputation. It did not go entirely according to plan, but Loki is nothing if not adaptable.Me's a Crowd: In my most serialised adventures, there are no less thanfour distinctly separate versions of me; my original self (the original Loki), the younger version of myself's ghost or spirit (Kid!Loki), the current version, taking traits from both while being distinctly separate from either, with notions of redemption and... heroism (Teen!Loki), and an older version of that one, who has gone back to standard villainy (Old or King!Loki). But Teen!Loki decided to become Story!Loki instead.Mind Control: I have used this onThe Incredible Hulkand various others, mortal and otherwise, with varying degrees of success. As anEvil Sorcerer, I can do it any time, but how effective it is depends on the mind.My Death Is Just the Beginning: Well, naturally, it is. Knowing I would in all likelihood die at some point, I planned ahead. Which came in useful when I did eventually die.My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Frost Giants are very big, very stupid, and typicallyDumb Muscle. I am a brilliant schemer, a powerful sorcerer, and slightly shorter than Thor (the horns on my helmet notwithstanding) and very slender. While I am still very strong and durable, that is primarily in comparison to the so called superheroes and villains of Earth, not Asgardians or other Frost Giants.A Nazi by Any Other Name: An elderly Midgardian implicitly accused me of this inThe Avengers. He was, of course, incorrect. Though I do regard myself as superior to Midgardians, I am in no way comparable to that mass-murderer known asAdolf Hitleror that repugnantRed Skull! My attempts to subjugate the Midgardians are purely for their own good! Did the foolish old man not hear the speech that I gave just moments earlier explaining this?!New Powers as the Plot Demands: As is common for characters whose skill lies in magic, I'm often capable doing whatever the plot needs me to with it, though not to the level ofDoctor Strangesince the writers still need Thor to be able to defeat me.Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: I once schemed to pit Thor in a deadly battle against the Hulk, butsomeotherheroesshowed up as well. My plot was soon uncovered, and - much to my later irritation - I ended up inadvertently bringing the Avengers together. Indeed, this incident is my single greatest regret in lifeor at leastwasuntil I killed my better self.Nigh-Invulnerability: As a small Frost giant I am as durable and strong as any average Aesir, though I am not naturally as durable as that muscle-bound moron, Thor. Fortunately, as a sorcerer, I havesupernatural durability as I have granted myself a range of advantages no other Aesir has; most Asgardians would be more bothered than I at the prospect of decapitation, for a start.Not Distracted by the Sexy: I am not so easily swayed by a pretty face and body, but on occasion I have been distracted byboth Lorelei and her sister Amora The Enchantress.Odd Friendship: Spider-Man and I had a short lived one during our brief team-up. It was certainly entertaining, everyone can agree on that, given our mutualwit. By the end I was grateful enough that told he could get a favor from in the future, which never amounted to anything despite the number of fans wishing for him to use it to get me to undoOne More Day.Oh, Crap!: InThor: Ragnarokwhen I saw the Grandmaster's champion was the Hulk. I quickly wanted to get off the planet. Luckily the beast didn't notice me.Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: My younger selfand also our later God(dess) of Stories incarnatewould change gender for no reason other than we could (and we only could because we were thanks to some limitations placed on our shapeshifting those days), and would also identify accordingly. Yes. That'sGoddess, orMistressor generallyshewhen we were a woman. Thank you very much.Papa Wolf: My relationship with my children can be strainedat best, but as it became evident with my (temporary) partnership withSpider-Man, IDOcare for my progeny, and as Morwenpainfully learned,I do not take lightly anyone possessing them.Pet the Dog: Even I would not be so cruel as to make Karma return to her bloated state after her time in Asgard let her regain her prior appearance.Physical God: I am of Asgard; my power, my age, my strength are all godlike.Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: I would like to safely say that this isnot the case.It looks likeassimilating my child selfhas given me knowledge of Internet culture and popular media such asGame of Thrones, despite being of a species and from a culture vastly different from that of Midgard.Pop-Cultured Badass: Though for much of my history I had a disdain for anything mortal, I have to admit I became this after I was resurrected in the body of a child and discovered the internet. I'm now one of the very few Asgardians who carry a cell phone (I even boost the reception with magic), will use the internet to accomplish my goals, play video games, and constantly make pop culture references, having apparently become quite the fan of many movies and TV shows which I get via \"torrents of bits\".Pretty Boy: Some would that myLoki: Agent of AsgardandThe Avengersincarnations typify this trope\u2026 if you go in for that sort of thing.Progressively Prettier:While I have always maintained a certain \"je ne sais quoi\", there is no arguing that, as Kid Loki, my design grew from \"eyebrowless goblin child\u25ca\" to \"handsome young lad\u25ca.\"Having nowbeen granted an older body through Wiccan's magic,I now have the appearance ofa young adult in their late teens/early twenties.The reaction from the denizens of the internet seems to be, and I quote,\"Oh no he's hot.\"\u25caPsychopathic Manchild: Type C, if you think, as some do, that this applied to me. God of Mischief and all that- I suppose I can understand.Psychic Powers: I can enter the minds of hapless victims, such as the Hulk to turn him on Thor.Rage Against the Author: It's hard not the read the entirety ofmy younger self's sacrificewithout seeing a touch of\u2026 aggravation at the fact that, because of the Editors and my new found popularity as the villain of theAvenger's, no matter what this was only a temporary arrangement. He even looks at the viewer while describing how it's beyond either of our power to make the story have a happy ending. (He declares that an unspecified \"they\" won't let me change, the imprudent brat). The only way for the new Loki to be allowed to change without being forced to become evil at some point in the future under a new writeris for my younger self to be entirely erased from existence.This is admittedly something that can be undone if someone has the gall to.Leah:Better to die as good fiction than live as bad.Redemption Equals Death: The first time I took responsibility for my deeds and sided with heroes, I got torn apart by an eldritch horror.Reality Warper: Some of my incarnations have possessed such power. Only appropriate, considering that I am a god - and a particularly magnificent one.Sadly Mythtaken:Originally Laufey was my mother, and I was the blood-brother of Odin. Meaning: I'm Thor's adopted uncle, not his adopted brother. Don't tell him. He would be so disappointed.My Ultimate incarnation does, however, hew more true to the original myth, though I am still Thor's brother.Say My Name: I once commanded an army of mortals to do so, in the meager palace they call \"Hall H\".Screw Destiny: My core motivation approximately since the events ofSiegewhen I realized that my role as theGod of Evilclashes with my role as theGod of Mischief and Chaosby making my actions...a little more predictable than I'd prefer. Unfortunately, my own magnificence and style as a villain now stand in my wayeven embodied by my own future self, but then again, it is only fitting that the greatest rival of Loki is Loki himself.This became more difficult in the Autumn 2014 eventAXIS, no thanks to that foolish mortalSchmidttampering with the brain of Charles Xavier and letting himself be possessed byOnslaught. Not to mention to Von Doom trying to kill me to prevent me from what I'll become afterward. Or will I? What is Loki if not resourceful and full of surprises.I broke the timeline and freed myself from that particular future for good.Sealed Evil in a Can:Odin once imprisoned me in a tree. I would become free only if my plight caused someone to shed a tear. No one missed me strongly enough to want to cry, so I resorted topoking Heimdall in the eye with a leaf.Something similar happened to my Ultimate incarnation, imprisoned in \"The Room Without Doors\" for causing Ragnarok, though I was eventually freed by a human accomplice.Sibling Rivalry: With Thor, of course.A movie named after the brutehighlighted my conflict with him and what it was like growing up in his shadow.Smug Snake: I admit that sometimes I am a little\u2026 overconfident, and my plans don't goquitethe way I want them to, and that I might, on the odd occasion, be somewhat responsible for my own failures, and maybe not take them as well as I could. But if you were aPhysical Godand master of sorcery with a genius level intellect, you'd be high on yourself too.Sorcerous Overlord: On the occasions I managed to ascend to my rightful place as King of Asgard, it is typical my magical might that leads me there (along with my cunning, of course).Squishy Wizard:Onlyin comparation to Thor. To all of you puny Midgardians, I am aKung-Fu Wizard.The Starscream: InThor: Ragnarokwhen I was pretending to be friends with the Grandmaster, I was naturally planning to one day kill that lunatic and rule Sakaar myself.Status Quo Is God: Deep down I know I will always be Loki.And I wouldn't have it any other way. But Iwouldtotally rules lawyer what and/or who Loki is when given a chance, and I would die and/or kill for that chance. You've been warned.Super Empowering:I turned Crusher Creel into the Absorbing Man and have given powers to several other less known villains.I also gave The Hood someNorn Stoneswhen his arrangement with Dormammu predictably took a bad turn. I'm quite fond of this. I didn't let The Hood keep the Norn Stones since I found the Avengers needed them to fightthe Void. What, you thought I let somebody keep something like those even if I needed them myself?Superpower Lottery: When you are from a race ofgodsthat can lift tons above one's head and has mastery over sorcery, this isn't really surprising.This websitegives me the proper respect that Ideserve.Super Strength: While not on the level of Thor, Iama Frost Giant and stronger than you mortals by far. Eric Masterson found this outthe hard way\u25ca.Take Over the World: Loki is the rightful lord of all creation and somedayall will bow before him!Theory of Narrative Causality: Not that I was ever averse to playing with the fourth wall occasionally, but my young incarnations are especially strong believers in the power of the narrative. Not only have they something against our authors, but they also had at least three plans involving rewriting the story, be it our own or dear old Uncle Cul's. It's no wonder we became theGod of Stories.Third-Person Person:Loki has a habit of doing this in various comics.Those Wacky Nazis: My Ultimate Universe's incarnation utilised those clods to attack Asgard, and bring about Ragnarok.Time Travel: I can do this more or less at will; it gives me a distinct advantage when carrying out myPlans. Even I cannot guess how much of Asgardian history was shaped by me until I decide to go back and affect it- the disappearance of my foster grandfather, my own adoption and the death of Laufey, and who knows what else? All me, and I didn't even know it!Took a Level in Badass: In my earliest appearances, I was more of a nuisance than a major threat, but it wasn't long before Loki becametrulymenacing.Trash Landing: My confrontation with the wayward Sigurd (the Ever-Glorious) resulted in our falling into a pile of mortal refuse. The rest of that confrontation...did not go well for Loki. I still managed to acquire the last laugh on him, though.Troll: Half-giant if we want to be accurate but alas the denizens of the internet wouldn't take that for an answer. But yes, I do occasionally scheme, manipulate, annoy or outright hurt people for \"funsies\".Truth Serum: My newer incarnation spiked the punch at a high school dance with Asgardian truth elixir in an attempt to locate a notorious villain. The irony is delicious, don't you think? Even if the punch was not.Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: I was ugly, but my wife was the beautiful Sigyn. I also had love affairs with Lorelei.Unexplained Recovery:At the end ofThor: The Dark World, I am not only alive, but disguised as Odin. I think I'll keep it a secret how exactly I pulled that off.The Unfavorite: It has long been obvious to me that I am Odin's least-favourite son but he will regret so contemptuouslyunderestimating mewhen all of Asgard bows at my feet! Or, as ourGod of Stories incarnationdecided,screw them, I won't sacrifice myself for their acceptance anymore.We refused Odin's \"So Proud of You\" and mocked our King!Loki incarnation for wanting it in the first place.Well yes. Itwastheend of the world.The Unfettered: Whether I am opposed to Thor or working towards some mutual end, I am always willing to go further than my spineless brother.Used to Be a Sweet Kid: In the 616th universe, I was hardly born a villain. My \"Kid Loki\" incarnation was also a charming boy who wished to do good.Villain Team-Up: While Loki is incomparable, I will sometimes work with my inferiors if need be; I don't see why all the other miscreants aren't as pragmatic as I am. Why, once I led almost every mortal villain to performActs of Vengeance..Villain Teleportation: I'd be a poor master ofBlack Magicif I could not teleport at will....Voluntary Shapeshifting: When disguises are called for, mostly.Weaksauce Weakness: When I first appeared, I had one- I couldn't use my powerswhen wet.Against Thor, who could easily make it rain. Do you wonder why this is ignored now?We Can Rule Together: InThor: Ragnarok, I offered Thor a chance to get out of theGladiator Gamesthe Grandmaster stuck him, and a chance for a live outside of them once I disposed of the Grandmaster. As you can expect, he refused.Well-Intentioned Extremist: Do not imagine that all my ambitions are selfish in nature; I have worked for the good of Asgard when it needed me, and the universe on occasion, and often I see the answers more clearly than the so-called \"heroes\" who are held back by too many ethics.Which Me?: Loki admits that he can confuse even himself by talking about himself. Like it took a long time forlittle meto realise, whoold me's spirittalked about, when mentioningLoki only dying for Loki. In theory when I say Loki that can mean any iteration of me mentioned underMe's a Crowd, or abstracts like thestory,archetype,generalroleoridealof Loki. When I sayIthat means explicitly me personally, if you were wondering.Would Hurt a Child: I have to admit I never cared much for other people's children and gladly used them to gain advantage over their parents.The Ikol manifestation of me certainly would hurt a child - even if that child was another incarnation of me. Much to my remorse.Wouldn't Hurt a Child: At least until my new incarnation came around. Turns out existentially scarring myself bydestroying and assimilating my child selfgot me slightly fond of them, so I'm at least against child murder as the Angels of Heven can attest. Wiccan owes his life to myunwillingness to complete the planoftricking him into committing suicide, even if I endangered the world by doing so.You Can't Fight Fate: As long as the tales of my prior activities exist, I shall be drawn back to my old habits. Given that I would rather die than be so predictable, efforts are underway to erase them.Anyway, Midgardian, I guess that I have shown you everything about me. With that in mind, kne\u2014\"LOKI!!! This is a free page!\"Errr... brother issues. Thor's not happy about website domination...errr...I'll try to calm him down and hope he doesn't bring that green brute along with him... I'll be back!"} {"text": "The Master of Magnet!...ism.Discussion on how to deal with pages like this is here\"I am no hero. Merely a man who has seen and done and endured what can never be forgotten or forgiven.\"\u2014Uncanny X-Men#196(The following should be read in the voice ofIan McKellen,Michael Fassbender, David Hemblen,Tony Jay,Christopher Judge, orTom Kane. If read in the voice of John Stephenson, all references to yourself should be in the third person, which means you can do it to the comicbook tab as well.)It is rather insufferable to think that I am this late to the game.The psychotic jester,that twisted alien with the ring,the bald lunatic, and thattin-plated egomaniachave all had their own pages here for months, and yet I, Magneto, have only been given my own space today. It is a cruel injustice that must be set right, butshould I have expected any different treatment fromHomo sapiens?In my role as a so-called villain and opponent to theX-Men, I was created byStan LeeandJack Kirby, first appearing in\"X-Men\" vol. 1 #1 (September 1963).The story of my life, however, begins rather earlier- a Jew, I was born inWeimar RepublicGermany in the late1920sbefore moving toPolandwith my parents in 1939... and those of you with remedial historical training canventure a guess as to the end result of that. As a young man, I witnessed and endured some of the very worst of what humanity had to offer.My family was murdered when I was just a boy, and dumped in a mass grave before my very eyes; soon after, I was myself sent to that hell called Auschwitz and on several occasions, I thought I was going to share their fate. While as aSonderkommandoI was forced, on pain of death, to mete out that same fate to thousands of other innocents as at gunpoint. I and others were made to assist in genocide, to assist those monsters in their gas chambers and furnaces. Lame with hepatitis,all hope and reason crushed under the mad Nazi jackboot, I am ready to admit that so many times I was tempted to resign myself to my black fate.But if I,Max Eisenhardt, was anything, I was asurvivor.The one good thing I remember from those years was my darling love, Magda, a Romani girl interned with me, and during the October 7th revolt in 1944, the pair of us managed to make our escape. We fled to Ukraine and lived out the remainder ofthe warand its aftermath in relative peace with her family, and Magda bore us a daughter, Anya. We were happy together, though I hid from my wife a great secret I was only just uncovering myself \u2014 I wasa mutant, born with the power tomanipulate magnetic fields and master the entire electromagnetic spectrum.Our peaceful life was not to last. While we lived in the Soviet city of Vinnitsa (alas, the Romani lifestyle did not suit me), I was cheated out of my pay by my employer and, in anger, used my powers consciously for the first time by throwing a crowbar at him through sheer will alone.In retaliation, driven on by fear of what they could not understand, the people of Vinnitsa formed a mob andburned down the inn where Magda, Anya, and I were living. When I saw my daughter's burning body fall out of her room, prevented from helping her by KGB minions who held me down and battered me repeatedly,I did not take it well. I unleashed the fury of my newfound powers, killing the thugs who held me down, the animals who killed my daughter, and tearing a chunk of their wretched city to the ground. Magda survived, but my power, and my temporary insanity, terrified her into fleeing, leaving me alone to bury our daughter (and when Soviet troops attempted to stop me doing so, I turned their guns on them and pulled their triggers).It would be decades before I found out that Magda had been pregnant when she fled. I never saw her again, for she died shortly after giving birth. My last memory of my wife is of her screaming in horror and terror at me.I fled Europe, fled the pain and anguish and the torment, and began traveling, eventually making my way to Israel where I did volunteer work in a psychiatric hospital for Holocaust survivors, those who understandably were overwhelmed by the sheer barbarity of it all. Another volunteer at that hospital was a young American namedCharles Xavier, and I was destined to be hisbest friend and greatest enemy. Charles and I discussed many things, foremost amongst them the fate of mutantkind and the threat posed to it by a worldthat hates and fears us. Charles, in his simple naivet\u00e9, thought that humans and mutants couldlive peacefully together, but his only taste of humanity's bestial nature was being bullied by his oaf of a stepbrother, and some brief time as a medic in the Korean War. I, however, had been weaned on a diet of nothing but man's inhumanity; I had seen nightmarish horrors the likes of which Xavier could not begin to imagine, and I was resolved, I wasdetermined, that such a thing must not happen twice. Mutants,Homo superior, would not have to repeat the history of my sorry childhood. We had not yet revealed to each other that we were both, ourselves, mutants.I saw once and for all that Charles' views and mine were incompatible once we were drawn into battle with those Neo-Nazi trash known asHYDRA, who had abducted our friend Gabrielle Haller because she knew the location of a hoard ofNazi Gold. We both revealed our powers that day and overpowered the HYDRA agents, Xavier with his boundless telepathic might and I with my ever-growing mastery over the forces of magnetism. But a fellow mutant, the first one I had ever met, refused to deal with these pond scum with the harsh hand they deserved. In disgust, and realizing we had nothing more to say to one another, I took the gold for myself and left.The final nail in the coffin was when I worked for a Western intelligence agency, tasked with hunting down Nazi war criminals while maintaining my cover as aDouble Agentfor Mossad, and handing over those murderers to Israel for a richly deserved trial and justice. I had fallen in love again, my darling Isabelle, but my Western masters \u2014 who had been well aware of what I was up to, but had up to now condoned it \u2014 decided that my latest capture, a worthless architect of misery named Hans Richter, was too valuable to surrender to his fate. They recruited him and murdered Isabelle right in front of my eyes, for which Ihunted down each one of my controllers and paid them in kind.In the face of ever growing anti-mutant persecution, I remade myself as Magneto, a living example ofmutant superiority,of mutantexistence, so as to make a statement that mutants no longer had to hide in the shadows. I declared war on humankind, because I realized that force was the only thing humans understood, and the only thing that would save mutants from an identical fate. Xavier, now a cripple, made clear he opposed my plans, and I clashed time and time again with his band of mutant heroes, the X-Men. They thwarted plan after plan, and battled me and my Brotherhood, amongst whom were two bitter young mutant twins called theScarlet WitchandQuicksilver\u2014 whom I later learnt were Wanda and Pietro, my children by Magda, though unfortunately only after my radical ways had proceeded to alienate us from one another.In the face of endless opposition, from my own kind and my own children, as well as non-mutant superhumans such asThe Avengers, who accepted Wanda and Pietro into their ranks, I have learnt to soften my stance somewhat. I have evenjoined the X-Men myself from time to time, and worked with them to combat greater mutual menaces. But I stand by my most core belief. I have seen the lowest depths of human evil; I may have dragged myself from the abyss of my own hypocrisy, but though I am no longer as bent on genocide and domination does not mean I am under the illusion that mutants are safe. The safety and well-being of my people are of paramount importance, and rest assured,human troper, I am prepared to doanythingto ensure our survival and prosperity, and to avert the repetition of history which would see mutantkind consigned to the death camps.If I live by any creed, it is this:Never. Again.Despite my resentment towards humans, I admit that some of them have portrayed me in a clever way in the films. The actors that played me areIan McKellenandMichael Fassbender. My voice was also given by John Stephenson,David Hemblen,Christopher Judge,Tony Jay, Richard Green,John DiMaggio, andTomKane.Examples of how my character may be described:Above Good and Evil: As I told Joseph during our last encounter, there are no heroes or villains \u2013 there is only what I want and how I'll get it. I have no use for fanciful dichotomies.Adaptational Heroism: In the 90sX-Mencartoon, because the show was basing its stories on what was current in the comics and at the time I wasn't an antagonist, I actually was an ally to the X-Men in most of my appearances.Adaptational Villainy:While I renounceHomo sapiens' limited labels of morality, my counterpart inWolverine and the X-Men (2009)was willing to allow Sentinels free reign of Genosha, killing my fellow mutants en masse, simply so that the remainder would be more willing to wage war, something that goes against everything I have ever struggled for.Likewise, my film counterpart, while charismatic, and certainly true in every regard about mankind's treatment of mutants, is still an utter self-serving bastard, who attempted genocide on mankind using Charles himself. He did eventually see sense, however. Thankfully, in the altered timeline, his younger counterpart saw sense a great deal sooner.Worst of all is the inept counterpart of myself faced by theUltimate X-Men, who completely sacrificed any and all of my moral ambiguity to become nothing more than a repugnant mutant supremacist and genocidal maniac.Affably Evil: In some portrayals,Depending on the Writer, I am a gentleman in my pursuit of mutant freedom. Being played by the charming SirIan McKellenin the movies highlights this aspect of myself.Ambiguously Jewish: I am Jewish by birth, but this aspect of my character is not always openly stated. In addition to more specific examples mentioned below, it's never made clear if I actually practice the Judaic faith, though I do on occasion make reference to my sins and the God that will not forgive them.In the comics, at one point, Marvel at one pointretconnedmy ethnic status away while they were preparing for one of my more vicious phases, afraid that such a villain being Jewish would seem anti-Semitic and cause problems. Naturally, no one wondered if it was anti-mutant. And if you're wondering what they changed me to, it was, as I sort of mentioned before, a Sinte. It was a rather disingenuous move given their motivations.Inthe 90s cartoon series, I was stripped of my status as a Holocaust survivor, as World War II and the Nazis were not allowed due to the insipid \"moral code\" of human animation producers. Instead, I was given a background as a boy from amore generic Eastern European countrywhich was invaded and conquered in a more recent armed conflict, with my parents being killed during the invasion. Though not quite as horrific as the Holocaust, it still convinced me that using reason in the face of violence was a foolish gambit, and that humanity was far too brutal and warlike to make coexistence a possibility.When I was a child, my people talked while others prepared for war! They used reason when others used tanks, and they were destroyed for their troubles. I won't stand by and watch it happen again, I WON'T!Antagonist Abilities: Whilst I scoff at the mere idea of \"fighting fair\" (your X-Men hardly agree to battle me one-on-one, now, do they, Charles?), I confess that my mastery of magnetism gives me a number of abilities which opponents have trouble circumventing.First of all, there is the gift ofFlight, and my ability to stay well out of reach of brutish attackers like the brashLogan.Secondly, I am able to placeDeflector Shieldsand other barriers around me to protect even from long-distance attacks.Thirdly, my magnetism can act as anArea of Effectthat does not even require conscious aiming or precision, although this is rather taxing for me.I have demonstrated the ability to performVillain Teleportation, if the need requires.I can use any of the many objects in my vicinity asFlying Weaponsto keep my opponents busy and distract them as I complete my objectives.If there is sufficient iron (or other metals) in their bodies, I can manipulate others likePeople Puppets.When damaged, I can magnetically seal my wounds andreduce damageto prevent blood loss. Why, I can even create a makeshiftprosthetic heartfor myself on short notice. (Though I can't keep it going forever.)Due to the human mind relying upon electromagnetic synapses and other similar functions, I have been known to dabble inMind Manipulationwhen given sufficient cause.And last but certainly not least, being the Master of Magnetism makes me effectively able toshape reality to my very whim.Anti-Hero: Regardless of whether I fight against or with the X-Men, I never hesitated togive scumbags exactly what they deserve.Anti-Villain: One that has started many an argument of varying maturity. To some, I am aWell-Intentioned Extremistsupremacist mass-murdering terrorist demagogue, with occasional outright genocidal ambitions; alternately, some peoplestill root for the Brotherhood despite their muddled blood,weep for my cause, orhave contempt for my position in life. No matter the style \"Anti-Hero\" they label me, my ideals are rightfully accorded with respect, as all of humanity in thisCrapsack Worldarepersecuting scumwho have it coming... which is allDepending on the Writer. Even God had trouble balancing favorites inthe Good Book, I suppose.Arch-Enemy: TheX-Menin general; Charles Xavier in particular... although Idon't take it personally. If not Charles, then theRed Skull. As much as I battle the X-Men, they are ultimately aFriendly EnemyI would much rather join forces with, but the Skull is by far the one being alive that I despise more than anyone. He symbolizes everything I detest, and I would gladly crush his throat with my bare hands if not for the fact that such a death would be too kind for such Nazi scum.The Artifact: Yes, World War II was 70 years ago.Age is but a number, I'm still a paragon of power.Artistic License \u2013 Physics: Writers play around with the moniker of \"Master of Magnetism\" to the point that very little of what I can accomplish has anything to do with magnetism.Astral Projection: It's suggested I learned how to do this despite not having anyPsychic Powersof my own, though perhaps it is merely that, though I do have psychic powers, I prefer to use my Magnetism. I would prefer not to say.The Atoner:I have in many days attempted to atone for my misdeeds, a result of my status as themain villainwith good aimsadversary to Charles and his X-Men. During two of my atonement phases, I even joined them.In an alternate universe, I had made a deal with an entity from another universe hoping to give mutants a fighting chance, but I soon learned to my horror that I had brought a deadly virus to Earth, and I devoted the remainder of my life in that universe to saving as many people, human AND mutant, as I could from the monsters that were once heroes.Barrier Warrior: I can raise electromagnetic barriers, with varying degrees of \"electro-\" and \"-magnetic.\"Berserk Button: Do not evenTHINKthe words \"Just Following Orders\" in my presence.Big Bad: Formerly, the chief antagonist of the X-Men. We have since found more common ground.Big Good: In theAge of Apocalypsetimeline, I led the mutants opposing Apocalypse and his twisted minions.\"Blind Idiot\" Translation: I am the Master OfMagnetism, not the \"Master of Magnet\" as one of the ridiculous \"video games\" once portrayed me, nor do I ever invite my opponents to be \"Welcome to Die!\".Boxing Lessons for Superman: Years after discovering my mutant powers, I studied magnetism in depth, along with many other different scientific fields, in order to perfect my gift.Brainwashing for the Greater Good:When I was de-aged by Alpha, Charles and that womanMoira MacTaggertdid this to me.How dare they! Howdarethey play God with my mind, claiming it was for some greater good!... As it transpired, it hadn't actually worked at all.I... confess I have made use of this, once making Mastermind bury a young Lorna's traumatic memory of killing her mother with her newly activated powers. But I was right to do so!Broken Pedestal: Suffice to say, some of my Acolytes were thoroughly displeased to even look at me when I lost my powers on M-Day. Miss Joanna Cargill especially so.Brought Down to Badass: There have been times where I have had to make do without my powers, for one reason or another. They do nothing to slow my effectiveness however, as Joanna Cargill (and her eyes) can attest.Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: My dear sister Ruthie saw butterflies immediately before she, I, and our parents were apprehended by nazis. They were executed, and I was thought dead and left in the same mass grave.Byronic Hero: Perhaps the only appellation humans apply to me that I would consider suitably respectful. I am a savior, driven to the things I do only because my people need someone willing to stand up and fight for their rights in the face of a world that will always hate and repress them. If this causes me to engage in behavior that humans would not consider \"heroic\" from their bigoted perspective, than so be it.Card-Carrying Villain: When I adopt such a moniker, it is partly out of a sense of irony. Largely, however, it is because I do not care to waste time answering tohomo sapiens' moral standards. If they will call us \"Evil Mutants\" regardless, then my Brotherhood and I will embrace the term and live up to it.Changing Clothes Is a Free Action: On our last date, dear Isabelle showed up in a yellow sarong, but as soon as we got to my hotel room she was wearing a black dress.The Chew Toy: It would appear that the universe at large may have a thing against mutants as mankind does.Convection, Schmonvection:Of courseI can fuse metal together in close proximity to my skin. For obvious reasons it does not harm me.Cool Helmet: One that protects me from psychic intrusions as well. As a result,\"Bucket Head\" is aFan Nickname.Dark and Troubled Past: My life before I became Magneto was riddled with suffering and loss... most of which was bought on at the hands of you barbaric homo sapiens! I've suffered tremendous heartbreak and pain through enduringthe horrors of the German conflictand theloss of innocents, my family included, at the hands of brutal, soulless \"men\"who were simply \"Just Following Orders\". This very sentencemakes my blood boil.From then, my suffering never seemed to truly cease, from the loss of my first wife and daughter to the constant conflicts I've been waging in the name of my fellow mutants. Humans did this to me... and theycontinueto show why they are unworthy of living in my utopia.Dark Messiah:I will use any means necessary to bring mutants back into dominance. My people have even considered me their \"Mutant Messiah\" in contrast to Charles' approach.After the events ofAvengers vs. X-Men, I have bequeathed the role toCyclops, as he alone is responsible for the plan that has brought back mutantkind from the brink. It is not often that evenIam impressed.Deadpan Snarker:Depending on the Writer, my incarnation in the live action films was very much witty.Depending on the Writer: Many, MANY humans, moronic or not, penning my stories.Am I anAnti-Villainwith sympathetic aims,a leader with extreme methods toward a golden age for mutants, or a completely psychotic madman who will strike down ANYONE who gets in my way? It depends on what interpretation there is of me you think holds the most water.How reliant I am on my helmet to resist telepathy tends to depend on whether humans remember I have telepathic talents of my own. I'm not sure when it started, but it appears they've mistaken my helmet for that of Charles' unruly step-brother.Whether or not my powers extend toa certain magical hammerhas also widely varied.At times, I am written as unable, yet onother\u25caoccasionsI am more than capable of it.Determinator: Nothing less could withstand the barbarity of the Holocaust.Disappeared Dad: In my defence, I did not know Pietro and Wanda were alive or my children until well into their adulthood. As to Lorna, I did know she was my daughter, but made no attempt to contact her.Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto Us: This is one of my main rationales in my war on humanity, and one of the main sticking points in my philosophical differences with Charles: I must strike at humans before they do mutants harm.Doting Grandparent: Even if she is lamentably powerless, I will not allow any to harm my granddaughter Luna. Indeed, I once swore I would rather die than allow her to suffer a moment's grief.Early-Installment Weirdness: No one had told my earliest chronicler,Stan Lee, that I had been a Holocaust survivor, a fact thatChris Claremontlater discovered. Hence, the mortifying, and completely out of character instance where I am depicted leading a Nazi-styled invasion of San Marco.Enemy Mine: Truth be told, I have had to side with Charles and his X-Men when the need arises.Said forced team-ups may have also been the result ofanother entity playing a foolish game.On another occasion, I worked with several of the Marvel Universe's most despicable villains, including the Red Skull, in what was colloquially referred to as the \"Acts of Vengeance\", in an attempt to destroy the \"heroes\" who constantly interfered with our plans. The bile still rises in my throat when I think of working with that... Nazi... although in retrospect I realize that I and the other participants in the plot were manipulated byLokithe trickster god.Even Evil Has Standards: First of all I amnotevil. I use the term ironically to defy youhomo sapiens' nonsensical moral applications, such as when I named my organization the Brotherhood of \"Evil\" Mutants.I am far more moral than the likes of Sebastian Shaw, Apocalypse, or William Stryker. I work for a cause. They work only for themselves.Don't even mention theRed Skullto me. Then you will see how \"evil\" I can be.Speaking of the Skull, the fool managed to steal Charles' brain to gain new \"powers\" and exploit both humans and mutants. I learned this in the tie-in prelude to the Autumn 2014 eventAXISin my own title. For my friend's sake, THE. SKULL. MUST. PAY.Unfortunately, in my blind rage, I killed the Skull, only to awaken my darker half,Onslaught.I was horrified at the 9/11 attacks to the point that myself, Wilkson and Victor had to help the survivors trapped under the rubble.Evil Genius: I am amongst the many geniuses of this world, specializing in Magnetism (obviously) and Physics in general as well as having a keen knowledge of Genetic Engineering, Engineering in itself, Geology, and other sciences. I'm also very much multilingual, even being able to decipher a long-lost language and have reconstructed advanced computer devices from memory. As expected from my leadership, I am also a talented strategist, a requirement in my war on humanity.I am also quite the connoisseur of the fine arts and finest literature, thus admitting thatHomo sapienshave made at least some worthwhile contributions to life.To others, my ability to manipulate the lessers amongst you is paramount.Evil Is Petty: During one of my more \"unstable\" periods, when I regained my youth and vitality but before I regained my composure and focus, I used my command of magnetism to make that irritating oaf Wolverine punch himself in the face.Evil Plan: My methods can be rather... extreme, I will admit, but in truth I should belaudedfor my efforts to prevent mutant genocide. Only a homo sapiens would consider creating a utopia for them instead to be evil.Extra-ore-dinary: Whatever the writers decide of my powers, I can always control metal.The Extremist Was Right: Can you really argue with me on this? No matter how many times the X-Men have stopped my plans or saved the world from any other number of threats to it, mutants are still hated and feared by normal humans as much as they were before.Fantastic DrugI admit to using the illegal stimulant known as mutant growth hormone. I harvested it from my own genetic material for my own use! I see no issue with boosting my powers in such a manner, though I advise anyone else who recognizes the merits of practice to do so sparingly. Addiction is a terrible thing.The very existence of the disgusting drug \"kick\" derived from the disgusting parasite sublime is a blight on my existence. In truth I cannot even blame you homo sapiens for it, but I can blame you libelous slanders for claiming I would ever willingly inhale, ingest or inject myself such a thing!Final Boss: In nearly everyVideo Gameabout the X-Men ever made. It would be easier to list the ones that don't feature me as this.Flanderization: Since the movies, both fans and even writers often seem to assume that my powers are restricted to manipulating metallic objects.My dear Briar was level-headed, if manipulative, when I met her. Now she seems to have become a sex fiend who is turned on by the thought of my daughter fighting for her life. There is no telling how this will affect our relationship.Foe Romance Subtext: Many have felt there is some sort of unspoken romance between Xavier and I. I cannot deny that despite our years of combat I still love Charles and would be insulted if someone suggested otherwise.Forgot About My Powers:There was an incident in which Reed Richards managed to dupe me with a wooden gun. The sheer simplicity of his trick dumbfounded me to the point in which the authorities took me in without incident.To this day I still cannot explain what happened.Freudian Excuse: Back in my day, it was called the Holocaust.\u2026But no, that's not quite right. That wraps things up too nicely.The Holocaust happened, and I survived, even attempting to not let such an event shape me negatively.Then my daughter was killed by you vile lot, I discovered and unleashed my powers to deal deserved judgment... and, regrettably, my beloved Magda left me in fear soon after I had unleashed my wrath upon the culprits responsible.Perhaps what truly makes myUltimate Universecounterpart so disgusting is that he has no reason to be a mutant supremacist. He was not a victim of the Nazis or even of prejudice in general that we know of, instead being born to an affluent and high society family. Yet he chose to take up the cause of mutant supremacy to a level even I would shudder at.Friendly Enemy:Depending on which writer is \"guiding\" my hand(usually thatChris Claremonttakes this view), there will be many times in which I heavily regret the seemingly never-ending conflicts I have with Charles and his X-Men, even as I dowhat is rightby my people.From Nobody to Nightmare: Once I was just a simple young man, until my family saw just how horrible humans can be. Though it was after their murder of my daughter that I became fully devoted to my cause. Had they simply left me alone, I would have stayed Max Eisenhardt. But now, I am so much more. Now, I amMagneto.Glass Cannon: My powers are typically highly destructive, even if all the writers can think of is manipulating metal, but at the same time I myself am no more durable than any non-powered man. Or did you think I learned how to create force fields around myself for the fun of it?Glowing Eyes of Doom: Goes without saying, but when my eyes are aglow, you would be smart not to get in my way.Good Is Dumb: I admit that during the first period I had running Xavier's Institute, I made some exceedingly foolish decisions.He Who Fights Monsters:The \"monsters\" in this case beingyou vile, disgusting, bloodthirsty racist genocidal humansand, prior to that, the madmen ofNazi Germanyand theirinconceivable horrors. That fool, Charles, would have you believe some Freudian theory about this reflecting on my own destiny, but...My incarnation inWolverine and the X-Men (2009)is certainly this trope. In the approaching conflict with the anti-mutant faction in America, when warned that the war would lead to aBad Futurewhere civilization is destroyed by the Phoenix Force and the Sentinels reign supremewith humans and mutants alike trampled underfoot, he crossed the line by using Sentinels to attack Genosha to provoke the war, feeling it would be best if he controlled both sides, even though he killed numerous innocent mutants in the process.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: I shall always do what needs to be done to safeguard the future of mutantkind \u2014 regardless of whether others consider my actions \"good\" or \"evil.\" Evidently, I am a \"face\" in such terminology afterI yanked missKitty Prydeoff of what you Homo tropiens might call theBus.Hollywood EvolutionThe X gene is not just the next step in the evolution of the hominid genus, it is the adaptation that finally allows multicellular life on this planet to free itself from the parasitic bacterial colony commonly known as \"Sublime\". Instead of celebrating our emergence you homo sapiens slander us as corruptions of your genome by hostile Celestials, playing right into your puppet master's flagella. Thankfully the X gene tends to bestow the those who inherit with more gifts than mere immunity, ensuring mutants will ultimately triumph over both our microscopic and macrospic foes.Loath as I am to admit it, onEarth Xthe appearance of the X gene really is the result of Celestial meddling, and mutants really are their pawns to be discarded once we are done unwittingly incubating one of their eggs. In \"our\" timeline the Celestials merely \"gifted\" this Earth with Eternals and Deviants, who have largely avoided notice of you homo sapiens thanks to your irrational fixation on us.Humans Are Bastards: Tell me this, can YOU continue to champion human democracy and gentleness if you had seen AND felt EXACTLY what hand your kind dealt to me and other mutants around the world?! You would be a fool or a similar prejudiced scum to believe otherwise!I Have Many Names: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr and other shortened variants such as Erik Magnus, Magneto (of course), The Master of Magnetism. To be honest, my REAL name is Max Eisenhardt, a German-Polish Jew. In most other retellings, I am content with simply \"Magnus\".Imagination-Based Superpower: Magnetism is capable of anything in my hands. For example, my Magnetic Attraction power can hypnotize the less mentally capable. I have also magnetically lifted various objects and entities that logically I should not have been able to, like simple water. I can even manipulate the entire electro-magnetic spectrum, albeit without the same potency as regular magnetism, and once in a while I display some latent telepathic powers.I'm a Humanitarian: Notme, of course; for all humanity's atrocities against mutantkind, I would never condone so repugnant an action in response. However, myreprehensible counterpartin theUltimate Marveluniverse quite blatantly states he has eaten human flesh in the past, and then goes so far as to threaten to turn humanity into literal livestock for mutantkind as part of his build up to executing the President of America.Immune to Mind Control: I have aspecial helmetthat prevents me from being mind-controlled. A most useful tool when my arch nemesis (Prof. X) is one of the most accomplishedpsychicsin the world.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Even if my methods reach far into the depths of villainy as you see it, even if I almost becomeexactly like my oppressors, I desire nothing but a world where mutants are FREE from the hand of racism dealt by man.Joker Immunity: I'm Marvel's premiere example. That very trope page brought up that I may well have had more intended permanent deaths, de-powers, and lobotomies to render me harmless than any other super villain, so much so that I might have likely been theTrope Namerif not for the Joker.Knight Templar: In the past, I have done whatever it takes to ensure prosperity for mutant-kind. Naturally, how far I am forced to go depends on who's writing at the moment.Large Ham: How else can I show that I'm superior to you human beings than with powerful speech andgestures?Light 'em Up: I have occasionally manipulated the visible electromagnetic spectrum to make myself invisible. I do have a slightwhite motifwith myhairandlightning, but I don't go pretentiously overboard.Lightning Can Do Anything: If there's no possible way for my magnetism to pull off a certain insane feat, that is where the \"electro\" prefix of \"electromagnetism\" comes in.The Lost Lenore: Before I became Magneto, my wife Magda and I tried to live an ordinary live with our daughter Anya. That changed when she burned to death in a fire, right in front of my very eyes, as humans prevented us from doing anything to save her. They did not have long toregretthat decision.Love Triangle:I am part of one, locked in combat with that insolent Cajun Remy LeBeau (better known asGambit, to you) for the affections of the mutantRogue. Shepromisesnothing about the future, but I have won the triangle for now.Made of Iron: In one of my confrontations with Charles' students, I received several blows to the head fromColossus, yet still remained standing, to say nothing of the fact I simply shrugged off that loutish Wolverine's attempts to skewer me.Mad Scientist: In my earlier exploits, I frequently displayed an aptitude for incredible acts of science, once managing to renovate Charles' house into a full-blown cloning facility, to say nothing of my skills at building vast complexes in improbable places, like underneath the Antarctic ice, or in an asteroid.* Manipulative BastardMay\u2013December Romance: Some humans claim to be bothered by the age difference between myself and lovely Rogue, even though thanks to being turned into a baby by Alpha the \"Ultimate Mutant\" and later returned to adulthood by a Shi'ar agent, I now have a body that is physically in its thirties. The age difference is never brought up when people talk about Wolverine's romantic relationships with women of roughly Rogue's age (Jean Grey, Mariko Yashida, Yukio, etc.) even though he is old enough to bemygrandfather. Butdouble standardshave always beenHomo sapiens' hallmark. Regardless, it has been brought to my attention that Rogue and I have married and started a family inat least one universe, which... does not displease me.Meaningful Name:My original name, Max Eisenhardt, is quite poetic. \"Eisen\" is the German word for \"Iron\". \"Hardt\" sounds like German (\"hart\") and English (\"hard\"), which both mean the same thing. \"Max\" connotes intensity. Who would have guessed a man with such a name would later become the hardened master of metal manipulation?In German names, the \"-hard/hardt/hart\" suffix originally means \"strong\"; it is also present e. g. in \"Bern(h)ard\" (strong as a bear) or \"Gerhard\" (strong with the spear). Thus \"Eisenhardt\" means \"strong as iron\", or in my case also: strong with iron.Morality Pet: At times, Kitty Pryde \u2014 fellow mutant and fellow Jew \u2014 serves in this capacity.One of my terms as a \"face\" is due to delivering her from danger.Mundane Utility: Perhaps more like Artistic Utility, but my life-sized steel sculptureCalling Cardsshould count as this.My God, What Have I Done?: In essence, my reaction to harming a young Katherine Pryde in battle. For all that I have sworn to fight for Mutantkind by any means necessary, Ishall notharm children.A Nazi by Any Other Name: Some bigoted comic authors have claimed that I am in truth no different than the Germanic bigots who butchered my family, upholding the same creed of racial supremacy with equal fervor. Naturally, I reject such claims entirely; although it is true that I have noted the uncomfortable similarities in my own crusade to promote Homo Superior to its rightful place and the Nazi beliefs in the Ubermensch and the Untermensch, I have never countenanced the sort of barbarism the Nazis used to slaughter those they considered unfit. I resort to violence only because it is necessary to take such proactive steps to protect my people from humanity; humans will eliminate themselves eventually without any need for direct intervention on my part. Indeed, at least twice I have sought to simply remove my people from humanity to leave them to their fates, such as when I founded Genosha or established Asteroid M, but such efforts have always simply redoubled humanity's fervor to strike at me and mine.However, the same cannot be said about my odious incarnation in theUltimate Marveluniverse. Whereas I fight only to protect mutantkind, he actively encourages mutants to kill and terrorize humans as part of his \"mutant supremacy\" creed. He has taken separation from humanity to the extreme, attempting to create a new mutant culture to the extent of devising new \"mutant commandmants\" (something I can almost grudgingly respect), very similar to Himmler and Hitler's efforts at building up their new \"Aryan culture\"... and also denigrating humanity to levels of the worst form of Untermensch. Filth that they were, even theNazisdid not consider cannibalism as an appropriate \"use\" for their undesirables, whilst this twisted mutant once threatened on live television to keep surviving humans as literallivestockfor the new mutant civilization. That this psychotic charlatan dares claim the mantle of Master Of Magnetism is an insult, and he should count himself lucky that he was killed by that universe's Cyclops in retaliation forthe cataclysm he caused, as I would have found a way to destroy him for tainting my name eventually. I find a dark satisfaction in the knowledge that, unlike my own mutant brethren, the mutants of the Ultimate universe are the result of failed attempts at recreating the serum that created their version ofCaptain Americathat entered the human gene pool, the reveal of which destroyed the resolve of my impotent counterpart.Naturally, I consider any rumors that my own mutants being just one of several results of the Celestials tampering with the human genome in prehistory to be nothing but transparent anti-mutant propagandaNazi Hunter: When the need arises; burying Red Skull alive was particularly satisfying.* Never Be Hurt AgainNever My Fault: Some humans pretend that my actions have harmed more of my fellow mutants and hurt the cause of mutant rights than they have ever helped, and that I'm pinning the blame for that on humanity. They sure are fine ones to think of me this way!New Powers as the Plot Demands: Over the course of my career, I've found many ways to use the power of magnetism to manipulate related forms of energy for a variety of uses. For example, turning invisible by bending light, manipulating electromagnetic energy to shoot lightning bolts, or altering the behavior of local gravitational fields; some see this as \"evidence\" of aunified field theorythat states all energy is the same, but just emitted in various ways. Still, in most cases, magnetism is far easier to manipulate than any other, so I usually stay with that.Noble Demon: Pretend you never met me or knew of what massacres I had been forced to commit and place yourself in my position: Wouldn'tyoudo anything to protect your loved ones and your people from harm?Noodle Incident: My father never told me how he saved Major Scharf's life, only that it was too ugly to tell me at the age of sixteen.Not Quite Flight: Controllingmagnetic lines of forceenables me to levitate. It is also a likely explanation for how I can move things lacking ferrous metal.Not So Above It All: When Rogue and I fought the Children of the Vault, I threatened to tear down their structure even if it meant the humans in Mumbai fell with it, but they called my bluff as I was carrying a dying human woman.Old Superhero: I have spent decades protecting mutants from the depravations ofhomo sapiensand my power only grows with my experience (doubtless you believe some of that time was spent as a supervillain). I also havetwo grandsons, who helped me find their mother the last time she went missing, anda granddaughter.Older Than They Look: Thanks to the courtesy of Alpha and the High Evolutionary, I'm in my physical prime, despite being almost a century old.Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Genetic manipulation, particle physics, engineering, designing weapons, space stations, superpowered humanoid lifeforms, devices that generate volcanoes and earthquakes, devices that block telepathy, devices that can nullify all mutant powers except for my own. I've reconstructed computerized devices from memory. I could probably make the top ten list for smartest people on this piddling planet if I put my mind to it.Pay Evil unto Evil:I once imprisoned a man in a basement with limited water and no light. By the time he was found, he was wishing for death. The man in question was theRed Skull; a villain so vile and repulsive that even thepsychotic clownwon't work with him.I once did this with Fabian Cortez, a treacherous mutant supremacist that in the past tried to kill me, manipulate wars between humans and mutants that led to the destruction of a safe haven for mutants I created, and also tried to use my granddaughter as a human shield. The minute I no longer needed him, I flung him miles away and then smashed him into the ground.Put on a Bus: It seems that when I've battled humanity for \"too long\", I end up swept aside so other villains can \"take the spotlight for a while\" or other such rot. You equate this to a mere TV show? This is a war I battle! But if I must, the first instance was after my 12th battle when I unexpectedly found myself a prisoner ofan unexpected extra-terrestrial called the Stranger.Putting on the Reich: People ill-knowing of what I have been through tend to bring up my domination ofSan Marco, wherein I had anarmy of mercenaries, outfitted with Waffen-SS surplus uniforms. The stylized \"M\" armbands were one step away from swastikas, otherwise the resemblance to that monsterAdolf Hitlerwas total. Come to that, many of my actions as aman willing to use any lengthsto replace mankind with my own genetically superior peopledo draw unavoidable comparisons.Rebellious Spirit: I have a bit of a problem with authority, as you might imagine, and I don't recognize peers easily. It should go without saying that I call no man \"master,\" save myself. That said,I brook no opposition within my own ranks.Revenge Before Reason:After being restored by Erik the Red, I was determined to avenge myself on the X-Men, ignoring the fact that in the time since I had last encountered them all but Cyclops had been replaced with entirely different people. Eventually, they had no recourse but to flee, but I still vowed to confront them at another time.If a human were to harm another Mutant, I confess I would more likely call for their death than anything else, even a truly heartfelt apology. Though such things fromHomo Sapiensare fleetingly rare as it is. It became much less amusing when my former Acolyte, Exodus, turned this around on me for defending Charles from Frenzy.The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Unlike Xavier, I recognize that there can be no peaceful cooperation between humanity and mutantkind. Mutantkindwilltake its flawed predecessor's place, and although I try not to be too carelessly callous, I will not lose sleep over doing what must be done.The Rival: Charles Xavier, as a result of our differing views on whether mutantkind and man can live in peace or not; in the widerMarvel Universe, my rival is instead Doctor Doom. I am the closest he considers to be legitimate competition.Shock and Awe: A primary attack of mine, aside from throwing any amount of tons of metal at my enemies, is shooting bolts of lightning. Don't expect to turn my own powers against me either.Shooting Superman:MostHomo sapiensobviously never learn that bullets are made of metal. There have been attempts to counter my abilities with non-metallic ballistics, but mutant gifts continuously outpace feeble human innovations in every capacity.The X-Men themselves did this when they sent Wolverine, whose skeleton is magnetic due to his adamantium bones, on a team to deal with me. They should have known better.Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: For all I do respect, and care for Charles, his na\u00efve idealism about mutant and human coexistence blinded him to reality.Slave Brand: I will forever carry the tattoo of a Nazi concentration camp upon my skin. As my cinematic counterpart so eloquently states, I would sooner die than allow another needle to touch my skin, or that of any other Mutant.Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: A character-personified version, with Charles on the admirable but foolish Idealism end and myself vice versa. Although really, it is more what you call \"realism\" than mindless pessimism. Look at the history of thehomo sapiensrace and score its track record of tolerance. Look at how many villains are human or mutant. Given these facts, peaceful coexistence is not reasonable.SNK Boss: InX-Men: Children of the Atom. I am theFinal Bossso do not expect me to be easy. I can fly, block while flyingnotelater entries inCapcom's Marvel fighting gameswould remove the ability for block while flyingmeaning I can stay well out of the reach of my opponents while firing at them with fast, powerful projectile attacks. One of my moves was to release four projectiles that can't be blocked and allow me to do what I wish if they connect with an opponent. My super attack is next to impossible dodge and does considerable damage. Unlike the sub boss Juggernaut who was a slow moving power house, I am extremely fast and while my attacks are ranged they are fast enough to be brought out in close, and my standard attacks are reasonable fast and powerful as well. On top of all this I can create a force field that renders me immune to all damage. The last ability would berestricted to an Infinity Gem when I wasPromoted to Playable.Some of My Best Friends Are X: Before I metRogue, I generally was romantically or sexually involved with non-mutant women \u2013 dear departed Magda, Isabelle, Polaris's mother, Cyclops' former lover Lee Forrester, and now mutant-fangirl Briar Raleigh. The back-stabbing Wasp has powers, but as a result of experimentation, not the mutant gene.Spell My Name with an S: Those who have set themselves to the worthy task of chronicling my deeds are often confused as to the spelling of my preferred civilian name. Erik is sometimes written as Eric, and Lehnsherr is written as Lensherr as often as not.Stating the Simple Solution: Marvel were planning to have a major battle between me and Wolverine, whenPeter Davidrealized thatI could just rip his skeleton out and be done with him.Steven Ulysses Perhero: Yes, my \"human\" name translates roughly into \"intensely strong iron\". Plus, I have used \"Magnus\" (which is Latin for \"great\") as a middle name since the ill-fated incident that cost me the closest to family I could ever experience. Though, I believe that \"Magneto\" is a far more superior and indicative moniker.Strong as They Need to Be: As this page states, my powers are essentially limited to whatever the writers can think of with magnetism, which means they can vary considerably from one story to another.Superpower Lottery: Several consider me the most powerful mutant alive due to how almost godlike my powers of magnetism can become.Though in media such asthoseanimatedcartoonsand the films, I limit myself. Realistically, I should be able to: turn invisible (due to visible light being a type of electromagnetic radiation),phase shift(electromagnetism is what keeps solid objects from passing through one another and thus I could deactivate this and walk through walls or go beyond that and become completely invincible), unleash any kind of laser blasts at my foes (once again, light is electromagnetic radiation, as is everything onthis chart\u25ca), and even create optical illusions via, again, manipulation of light.To further elaborate, electromagnetism is arguably the most interesting of the four fundamental forces in that its scope, and thus the scope of my powers, encompasses virtually everything in the universe. I explicitly control half of physics, all of chemistry (which when boiled down is the study of protons, neutrons, and electrons), and most of biology (which is a combination of chemistry and physics). In fact, because I can manipulate valence electrons, I can force chemical reactions to occur that are normally impossible or make reactions that normally occur not happen. The EM spectrum by itself gives me heat vision, x-ray vision, illusions, and invisibility, I am essentially my own radio and can scramble any others at my leisure, I can produce the deadliest form of radiation, and I can even produce microwaves on a whim. Furthermore, I can manipulate nervous systems, flash freeze or heat matter by imparting or taking away kinetic energy through protons and electrons, transmute anything into any other thing by rearranging particles at the subatomic level, disintegrate anything bigger than a nucleus, hijack electronics, and a good number of other interesting effects. The long and short of it is: if it can be done via natural means, it can be done byme.You would do well to remember that, during the Acts of Vengeance, I once battledSpider-Manto a standstill. If that feat sounds unimpressive, bear in mind that he was possessed ofotherworldly cosmic powersat the time. Long story short, I have total control over one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. This doesn't put me in spitting distance of strongest mutant, but I'm far away stronger than most others.Supreme Chef: As you know, I am no savage. To go along with my vast powers, I am also quite the skilled cook. It was a necessity during my time as a child prisoner of Nazi concentration camps.Tangled Family Tree: Mine is... complex. to say the least. I'm even present on the page image.Tragic Villain: Had I not been persecuted so horrendously in my youth for the \"crime\" of being Jewish (and a mutant), would I have turned out to be a different person? Would I be the man Charles always hoped he could help me become? Perhaps. In a better world, where mutants and humans do not wage war and accept each other as they are, I like to believe I would be. I'd still be with my beloved Magda and our children, living peacefully alongside those I treasure most. Regrettably, we don't live in that world... and I may never know such bliss, for humans stole it from me long ago.\u00dcbermensch: It's not easy to consider me \"nice\" in any respect, but I believe myself to have my own type of moral code that allows me to believethat it will all mean well in the end, placing myself as leader, and having to eliminate the inferiors. To any medical evaluator that deems himself worthy of judging me (more so if it's a human psychologist) that would thus make me asociopathideologue with typical monstrous egomania and entitled ruthlessness; others at least put me in a moresympathetic light. Still others go so far as to claim it'sall a result of bipolar disorder brought by my powersand claim I'm just plain mentally ill. A heartfelt but foolish notion.Those Who Fight Monsters: What else would you expect, when one's abilities have allowed him to live through the Holocaust,McCarthyism, theCivil Rights Movement,The Vietnam War, the AIDS epidemic and subsequent witch-hunting vilification of homosexuals... I have seen, to quote Burns, \"Man's inhumanity to Man,\" again and again. In the past, I tried to use my gifts quietly for the betterment of all, like Charles... but I have come to see how slow, inefficient, and utterly futile this method is \u2014 how millions suffer and continue to suffer while the pacifistic way simply scratches the surface of Hatred. I see how naive I was to ever believe that peace alone could fight hatred. I know now that the fastest, surest way to eliminate hate is to do just that...eliminate it.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Duringa visit to Japan, I found myself locked in combat with an arrogant, yet powerful youth by the name ofTetsuo Shima.Despite his impudence, I nonetheless took it upon myself to put the troubled boy out of his misery.Unskilled, but Strong:Averted, as there is a very, VERY good reason they call me \"The Master of Magnetism\" as I am one of the strongest mutants on earth, as well as having great skill and creativity in how I implement my mutant abilities. Considering magnetism is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, I should be held in high regard by humans and mutants alike, and it also helps that I am a learned scientist in my own right, so I WOULD know how best to use them.It is also why I am able to fight those with similar abilities who truly CAN be consideredUnskilled, but Strong. I once did battle with a cosmically poweredSpider-Manon my own. Onanother occasion, I told the assembled heroes of theMarvel Universethat onlyThe Mighty Thorwas my equal in power. No one argued the point with me.Utopia Justifies the Means: Whatever it takes, mutantkind WILL prevail.Visionary Villain: No matter how vile they may be, my every act is a stone in the foundations of a world where mutants do not live in fear ofhomo sapiensoppression.Well-Intentioned Extremist: I'll do what I must to ensure mutants never suffer any more at the hands of you humans.Indeed,when our universe was merged with the universe known as Capcom,I was able to finally build a world for Homo Superior to live on.Wicked Cultured: I shun the human-applied label of \"wicked\" \u2014 I merely do what I must to provide for my people. Nonetheless, I have a full understanding and appreciation for the few positive and admirable things human culture has produced over its long, floundering history.With Great Power Comes Great Insanity:It would certainly appear to you that my powers have left my mind damaged from the constant use, leaving me in a state of constant irritation and agitation.Many would also attempt to remember that ridiculous period in which I, afterposing as Xorn, he conquered Manhattan Island and turned it into, more or less, a concentration camp for humans, complete with gas chambers and/or crematoriums. Even with one of my own likening the imitator's actions toNazi Germany. Of course, that never REALLY happened,and was attributedto my addiction to the mutant-power-boosting drug \"Kick\". Then they tried to claim the drug was actually a sentient bacteria colony. WhatREALLY REALLY happenedwas when Wolverine decapitated the thing, revealing its TRUE identity as the REAL Xorn'sEvil Twin, imitating me imitating Xorn!That one human wearing the hat and gluing himself to that setteehas a point when he notes how other, gloriously incompetent humans wonder why new readers can't get into comics. I certainly can't after this mess.Worthy Opponent:Our conflicting ideologies aside, Charles Xavier is still my dearest friend, and has done more to help mutants than anyone in the world (besides myself).As loathe as I am to admit it, I must concede that perhaps alone of all humanity,Captain Americadoes seem to truly believe in the ideal of equality that he espouses.You Have Out Lived Your Usefulness: I did this once to Fabian Cortez, afterI temporarily allowed him back in my ranksdue to need of hispowers, but as soon as I found a machine that served as a substitute,I finally killed him for his treachery against me years earlier.I suppose you have read and know all about me now. For once, I must admit your so-called compassion has ensured your survival. Now, I must leave to enact my plans for all mutants. For the defence of Mutantkind!"} {"text": "(for full effect, read it in the voice of Mikey Kelley, Brandon Mychal Smith,Townsend Coleman,Robbie Rist,Wayne GraysonorGreg Cipes)Here's Mikey!'Sup, dudes? I'm Michelangelo, or as my bros call me \"Mikey\". I happen to be part of theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! My bros are named \"Leo\" (the leader), \"Donnie\" (the smart one) and \"Raph\" (the hot-head). See, the four of us were raised by our sensei Splinter and got mutated from green ooze and became super awesome turtles!

I'm still as good as my brothers despite that and a lot of people think I'd be the best if I trained as hard as them.Characterization Marches On: I wasn't always the fun turtle I am today. I was originally imagined as aBruce Lee Cloneand was more done to Earth compared to my brothers. I even alternated with Don as to who would beThe Smart Guy. Next to Raph I was also the most violent.Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In the original books, my headband is red like Raph's. In all the other stuff, it's orange like cheese pizza!Cool Board: Cool indeed! If you've seenTMNT, you see how I shred by skating a sewer pipe!Cowardly Lion: When I was forced to fight Kluh in a rematch to determine the Battle Nexus Champion. I figured he's just beat me and the safety spells would keep him doing anything dangerous. But his dad was really sore about how I beat him so he had the magic of the Battle Nexus tampered with so Kluh could beat me to death. Kluh kicked by shell,until he said he'd kill my family after he was done with me.Then I fought back and wrecked him.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: I'm the goofball of my brothers, but don't think I still can't kick your shell.Curb-Stomp Battle: Whenever I fight Raph in the 03 series I always beat him because he lets his temper get the better of him.While Kluh was initially beating me up in our rematch, once he said he'd go after my family, I beat that brute up so badly he couldn't stand. The Daimyo gave me the choice to finish him off, but I was taught better than even though Kluh dared to do it. He tried to act tough but he never came after me or my family again after that.Extraverted Nerd: I'm not an egghead like Don, but I do like comic books, horror movies, and video games a lot!Fun Personified: I'm the life of the party!Guest Fighter: I happen to be inInjustice 2(same for my bros), where I get to fight villains that aren't the Shredder and Krang! Heck, even Leo compared some of them to Bebop!Jerkass Has a Point:After I became the Battle Nexus ChampionI never let anybody forget it. Raph complained that I won final round due to luck, and everytime he did I pointed out that I did beat him.Kid-Appeal Character: All the young-ins like me! No wonder why I dressed up as Cowabunga Carl!Kindhearted Cat Lover: I take care of Klunk in the comics and 2003 toon and Ice Cream Kitty in the 2012 toon!Last of His Kind:So apparently there's acomicwhere the Foot Clan's taken over New York in the future and I'm the last one standin' since Donnie, Raph, and Leo all bit the dust courtesy of Shredhead's distant grandkid. Jeez, that's a real bummer if I'm bein' honest with ya, dudes.Mini-Mecha:When my bros and I went to the future, I tried swapping my nunchucks for a mech I called the Mikeytron 6000, but that got wrecked almost immediately afterwards.Morph Weapon: My chucks can turn into a kusarigama in the 2012 toon!Nice Guy: I sure am friendly, dudes!Nice Mean And In Between: I'm a fun lovin' and nice radical Turtle, Raph is mean and often angry (you wouldn't like him when he's angry) and Leo and Donnie are both more wiser and focused than me, but more much reasonable than Raph.The Nicknamer: In the 2012 toon, I nicknameeverymutant me and my bros meet.Odd Friendship:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)I had this with Leatherhead. I am the goofball and he's the big angry gator, but I was the first guy who was nice him while he was in his one mutant war with the Kraang.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: If you manage to make me cut the jokes and get serious, trust me you will regret.When Don ended up in thatBad FuturewhereShredder conquered Earth, the version of me from there isThe Stoic. Splinter was dead, Casey was dead, and Shredder turned theEarth into a pit of suffering and oppression, there was nothing to make jokes about.Serkis Folk: In the 2014 and 2016 flicks, I am computer made! But who the shell is Serkis?Straight Man and Wise Guy: Regardless of who I'm with, I will be the wise guy, with a few exceptions.Totally Radical: I sure love to speak like that.

Goddammit.Greetings, pitiful cowards and pathetic basement-dwellers of TV Tropes! You are now reading this inDavid Tennant'sgloriouslyCompelling Voice! Or at leastBrent Spiner's. And, even if you weren't, you most definitely arenow, since *I* demanded it! For I amKillgrave...THE PURPLE MAN!!I first graced this world with my presence inDaredevilVol 1 #4, where I tried to subvert the wills of the people of New York City for my own designs, and matched wits with that...assholein yellow-and-red tights named Daredevil, who would become my premier foe. Ah, the good old days, where you didn't have totryto make a superhero comic! Who ever even heard of experimental nerve gas giving peopleMind Controlabilities based on their skin??? By the way,that's my actual origin. It's as stupid as it sounds.Speaking of not trying, that's exactly what I decided to do after one too many encounters with that blustering buffoon.\"Who needs the grief?\", I thought to myself, and,finally realizing what I could do with my powers, retired from crime to become aMan of Wealth and Taste. The writers weren't done with me yet, though, and a run-in with some of the Kingpin's thugs led me into being forced against my will (note theirony) to participate in a plan to killSpider-Man,Daredevil,Luke Cage,Iron FistandMoon Knight. This failed utterly. Some time after this I moved to an island in the south pacific... where I was kidnapped byDoctor Doom.What joy. LongGraphic Novelshort, I was imprisoned in a \"psycho-prism\" which he then used to control everyone on earth. This being Doom, he grew bored of victory, and letNamorkillme! Thanks a lot, Earth's mightiest heroes! Couldn't spare a single second of your time to save a helpless victim about to be murdered by a crazed atlantean, huh?!Yes, times were tough for poor old me. But don't cry just yet! For it was only a few years - well,decades, really- aftermy deaththat I would meet...her...Yes, truly my life changed after I met her... finally I had a worthy foe - AJokerto myBat Man, aThanosto myCaptain Marvel, aDr Sivanato my...otherCaptain Marvel! Why, we were made for each other... nevermind the fact that I was originally created to be a Daredevil foe and she was originally supposed to beJessica Drew, thus making my previous statement atotal untruth! People liked my involvement in her story so much, I would become amainstay of her rogues' gallery forevermore!I bet most of you never heard of me until you saw theX-Menepisode \"No Mutant Is An Island\". I had a ball tormenting Cyclops. Or perhaps you're familiar with me from my appearance in the second seasonThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroesepisode \"Emperor Stark\", an adaptation of that horrid \"Emperor Doom\" storyline in whichIwas the one conquering the world throughTony Starkinstead of just being Doom's tool, whereBrent Spinerprovided my voice. In addition,David Tennantdid a masterful job portraying me inJessica Jones (2015)with all the true intimidating potential of my power displayed (probably with a bit of help from his role asBarty Crouch Jr.He may be more famous onEarth-5556, but that was as a do-gooder.); they didn't capture my complexion though, but I certainly approved of the wardrobe!And now, you're all caught up. Oh, there was some stuff in-between then and now, of course - like that timeCarol Danversshot me into the sun, or the time Luke Cage kicked my ass into next week duringthe prison break at the Raft,orthe time where I had a bunch of horrible piece-of-shit kids - but mostly that's all you need to know about me. Now it's time to catalogue all the tropes applying to myhumble personageaccording to this fine website. On with the show!Now,would you kindlyorganize this page for me and put all the examples in a nice, alphabetic order? There's a good troper...Abusive Parent:Not my faultmost of my kids are a bunch of lying, traitorous scum!My parents in Jessica's TV showseemed like theywere this, but it turned out thatthey were just trying to save little Kevin Thompson from a terminal illness.Adaptational Badass: In the comics, Doom used me as a tool to take over the world, while inThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroesadaptation of that storyline I was able to do so on my own by controllingallthe Avengers, making themmytools!Adaptational Jerkass: Mytelevized incarnationactuallyrapedJessica, whereas I simply made herwantto be raped. You decide which one's nastier.Adaptation Name Change: My name isactuallyZebediah Killgrave in the comics, while my TV version'sreal name is Kevin Thompson.Adaptational Nationality: MyComic Bookversion is Croatian, whereas the TV-show version...is played byDavid Tennant.Adaptational Nice Guy: On the other hand, when he wanted some peace and quiet in a loud restaurant, he merely asked everyone to stop talking.I was not so considerate.Adaptational Wimp: At the same time thatEarth's Mightiest Heroesmademethe main villain of their adaptation of that dreadful \"Emperor Doom\" storyline instead of Dr. Doom, they also gave me aridiculousweakness: Apparently, in that universe it's possible for my control over a person to be broken if someone else points out that whatever I'm making them dois against everything they stand for.A God Am I: I am an immortal, sociopathic tyrant who is able to control everyone at a whim and force them to do my bidding. Doesn't that sound like God to you? I mean, I'm at least more qualified than that Yahweh person, he can't even keep most of his followers! I'm just saying I think it'd bepretty cool if I was.Alternate Universe Purple Man Is Awesome: While I'd argue the main version of me ispretty awesome already, I'll admit there's no holding a candle to thatone version of mewho decided to use his auditory abilities to go from mere Purple Man to PurplePresident.For life. As for why *I* don't go and do that?Meh...Amazing Technicolor Population: That's why I'm the purple man! Though the TV version only wears purple suits.Artistic License \u2013 Biology: Let's ignore for a moment the ridiculousness of gaining powers fromnerve gasof all things. My power is supposedly based on pheromones. So how come my control doesn't wear off when I'm very far away from the person I'm controlling? And how does it make sense that I can drain the powers off my children to make my powers work on a global scale? Are my pheromones capable of tapping into theSpeed Force?Biting-the-Hand Humor: In the last issue ofAlias, I gave the book a succinct review: \"Seen worse. Been in worse.\"Blatant Lies: Want to know how potent my power is?Aside from the fact that you just said \"yes\" to my question, in my first appearance I told a crowd that I wasn't the Purple Man, just a tourist, and they believed me even though I wasn't eventryingto disguise myself!Bond Villain Stupidity: Okay, yes, I blurted out my entire origin story and explained the exact nature of my power to Daredevil during our first encounter, I didn'tknowhis billy club had a recorder in it! Hell,the last time he tried that trick it was just a bluff!Additionally, during the huge jailbreak that eventually led to the creation of theNew Avengers, I attempted to use my power on Luke Cage to kill all the other heroes and then himself, and then gloated that I would take care of our darling Jessica Jones and his bastard baby child she happened to be carrying. I didn't know they drugged me so badly my powers didn't work at the time!Breakout Villain: I was a minor Daredevil villain but have since become this for Jessica. She'd better appreciate it. My involvement in her life gave herthe much-needed drama that is required for every successful Marvel hero.Bullying a Dragon: SeeBond Villain Stupidityabove for details. It led to Cagebeating me to within an inch of my life.Not one of my finest moments...Butt-Monkey: There's no denying it at this point. I tried everything. I dated the Top 50 most fascinating people in the world for kicks. I fought theThunderbolts. I even got retconned into a rapist so I could beDarker and Edgierlike everyone else. But all I ever get to do is take a beating and die, but not really, just to makesomeone else seem cool.Card-Carrying Villain: Ilovebeing evil. Not the case with my TV incarnation, though, whothinks that everyone being his servant is how the world is supposed to be.Cerebus Retcon: Bendis made me into a rapist when he wrote Jessica's first series. The reason this worked to my advantage, unlike DC's unfortunateattempt to reinvent Doctor Light, is the fact that I was already aMind-Rapistto begin with, and my first appearance even had me bringing DD's not-girlfriend Karen Page into a hotel. I mean, seriously...what did you think I was going to do to her?Child Hater: Children should be seen and not heard. In fact, I don't even think they should be seen. Hell, I've got no problemthreatening the unborn!Though in hindsight that earned me a red-ass beatdown...Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Myaliasof \"Purple Man\" seldom appears in adaptations and wasAdapted Outof the TV series.Compelling Voice: That's my power.Complete Monster: It doesn't bother me if you want to label me as such. I can make yousing my praisesall I like.Cool Car: I had a purple Rolls-Royce in the beginning of Marvel Team-Up Annual #4, but I then stole a carriage from some unfortunate passers-by, so the same probably applied to the car. I used them up, and then threw them away,much like my girlfriends.Cut Zebediah Killgrave A Check: From time to time, I attempt to retire from the game and just have fun with my powers. It never works. On the exact opposite end of this trope, I have on occasion tried toTake Over the Worlddespite it not generally being my thing. But most of the time, yes, you should cut me a check. Rather, youwillcut me a check.Depending on the Artist: Yeah, those colorists at Marvel can't make up their minds what shade of purple I ought to be. Occasionally I've entertained the thought ofmaking it up for them,but there's just so damnmanyof them.....Depending on the Writer:The extent of my powers also tends to fluctuate to meet the needs of the story. Back when the Kingpin captured me, my suggestions made people go intoSycophantic Servantmode, even offering improvements to my orders! Now all it does is temporarily turn them into mindless drones who can't even talk until they complete the order I gave them. I miss being able to turn everyone I saw into adoring butlers.Sometimes writers will give different explanations for my powers out of embarrassment. Not as retcons, they just treat it like it always was the case. For instance,Daredevil: Yellowsaid my power is sight-based (if you see me, I can control you) to make my debut story into aPlot Tailored to the Party. This would meanthe colorblind are my greatest threat.Disability Immunity: What? Are you trying to say Daredevil is immune to my power because he'sblind?Ha, next you'll tell me that he's really that lawyer Matt Murdock the court assigned to me in my first appearance! Wait, heis?I wasn't eventryingto make you say that!Driven to Suicide/Heel Realization: Did I do this to myself in Jessica's first ongoing that actually had her name on it? It's unclear, but it wasn't the first time I questioned my morals. Anyway,it didn't take.Early Installment Character-Design Difference: I didn't like how I looked in my first appearance onthat Avengers cartoon, so when I first heard they were dedicating an episode to yours truly Imade surethey drew me in a more menacing way.Enemy Mine: Me and Jessica teamed up to give my bastard offspring Benjamin a well-deserved spanking.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Ah....Kara.... When will you come home to daddy where you belong?Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: I don't get it.Luke Cageis kind, manly, supportive, a good, present father, just... what exactlydoesJessica see in him? Why can't she see I was the best thing to happen to her in her entire life? Everyone knowsmarried superheroes are less interesting!Evil Gloating: It caused my downfall in my first appearance. I learned fromthatexperience to make sure I have whoever I'm gloating to firmly in my control every time I do so.Evil Is Petty: Sometimes instead of making people off themselves I just tell them to stand on their hands for as long as they can. Among other humiliating things. Usually this is when they annoy me.Eye Color Change: InEarth's Mightiest Heroesthey portrayed my mind control as giving the victim purple eyes.Hallucinations: I can make people see whatever I want them to see. For instance, I wanted jessica to see herboyfrienddead, so she did.Heroic Willpower: People with this in their character sheets are the utter bane of my existence.I Am Not My Father: I know,Kara, I know.But you could be... Just let me teach you.I Have You Now, My Pretty: Jessica, among others. In my first appearance I did this to Karen Page. She was Daredevil'sLove Interest, after all, so this beingThe Silver Ageit was the popular villain thing to do.It's All About Me: Hear, hear!Joker Immunity: Even before I stopped pinballing from superhero to superhero, the amount of times I was definitively killed off only to return with literally no explanation because my ability was justtoo coolto waste like that was utterly ridiculous. For a while there it seemed I had to die in every story I was in.The Man Behind the Man: At one point I gotRogues Gallery TransplantedtoX-Man, and used my powers to help Nate move up in the world. I was going to use him the way Doom used me before, and make the world a better place with him as my figurehead. But like always, it was a complete waste of my time. Serves me right for breaking character!Medium Awareness: As you no doubt have realized by now, I'm one of few Marvel characters to realize I live and breathe within the confines of their boxed wall to wall universe where the imagination of writers and artists dictate what happens next so long as fans keep giving them patronage. Call it a side effect of that silly nerve gas that made me...well me!Meta Guy: In the issues ofAliasthat I appeared in, I displayed this ability.*rolls eyes* Oh, so we're going to pretendyouand I don't know what's really going on? You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your readers.Mind Rape: I can take control of your minds and bodies, the sensation of which is described as feeling like rape. Some of my victimsare well-acquainted with that feeling.Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Zebediah Killgrave. It's so ridiculous the showrunners in Jessica's serieschanged it to Kevin Thompson and made Kilgrave an alias. Theydidn't even mention the Zebediah part anywhere. Why? It's a fine hebrew name. Did they think it wasXtreme Kool Letterzapplied to Jebediah? It's definitely more realistic thanVon Doom, hint, hint.No-Sell: Yeah, I'mreallygetting sick of all these people who can resist my powers! Daredevil, Doom, Kingpin, Moon Knight, X-Man, Jessica....Never My Fault: It really isn't! If anything, it's Jessica's fault,for not killing me when she had the chance! Or it'sStan Lee's fault, for creating me, in the first place. Or evenYOUR fault, readers, forwanting to see more of me! How'sthatfor an ethical dilemma?Not-So-Harmless Villain: Oh, I was more than capable from day one entrancing Daredevil's blonde girlfriend who-oh what was her name again? Karen Page? Yes, and I would have had some fun with her too were it not for that yellow, yesyellowcolored Spider-Man knock-off getting between me and my next conquest! However, it wouldn't be until decades later (though more like years later inComic-Book Time) when I would be introduced to that one special woman courtesy of a man by the name of Brian Michael Bendis who, taking full advantage of the fact Jessica Jones' debut comic was most certainlynotaimed at younger audiences, reinvented me from being another villain to get his face punched in by the hero to being revealed as the raison d'\u00eatre why sweet, sweet Jessica was over with the superhero gig before it ever started in earnest, and allowed to use my mind-control powers forall they were worth!Overlord Jr.: Little Benjy was feeling left out because he was a worthless invalid with no powers or purple skin to speak of, so he kidnapped me and put me in a coma so he could drain my blood to replicate my abilities. But me andJessicagave that little upstart a lesson.Painting the Medium:Sometimes, my hypnotic suggestions are demonstrated bytext turning purple. Either my own text, or my thralls'.Taken to hitherto unseen extremes inDaredevil: Yellow, where my power actually paints my victims purple. Of course, that raises the question of whether I myself am actually purple in that story or if it's just more Painting The Medium.Paranoia Fuel: You didn't really think you visited this page of your own volition, did you, troper? You did it because I whispered it in your ear. All your perceptions and actions are in the palm of my hand. How do you know you didn't just dream TV Tropes into being, just because I told you to?Politically Incorrect Villain: I am sexist, I do not respect privacy, I enslave people mentally and break their wills, and I'm also a rapist who leaves the landscape littered with uncared-for children. But you should still put me in yoursaturday-morningcartoon shows.Power Perversion Potential: I was given the power to control the minds of anyone I wanted to, and used it to turn many young beautiful women into my sex slaves. Honestly, it'd be stupid not to.Psychic-Assisted Suicide: One of the many fun ways my powers can be used!Purple Is Powerful: Undeniable. After all, you're still reading my article!Resurrective Immortality: I must have caught it fromNorman Osbornor something, because it's just as much of arandom addition to my powerset as it was for him.Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Does this even need to be said? Anyone who was actually introduced to me by Daredevil's first mag must be 50 years old by this point. And besides, you shouldn't read his comic book, it's trash that doesn't do me justice.Run for the Border: During theCivil War, I hijacked aS.H.I.E.L.D.hovercraft so I could flee to Canada, butU.S. Agentstopped me.Same Surname Means Related: Zebediah Stane was Iron Man villain Obadiah Stane's dad, but he was just a backstory character.Shaped Like Myself: I am purple, as well as a man, thus Purple Man.Soft-Spoken Sadist:Brent Spinerportrayed me like this inThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.Suspiciously Similar Substitute: I've been told I have a few similarities with Jason Cragg, a one-time Ant-Man villain who hadthe same power as meand lost them in his first and only appearance. Clearly,Stan Leedecided he needed an upgrade!Well-Intentioned Extremist: I tried to helpX-Manmake the world better, I really did.But he just slammed that door right in my face. Maybe I shouldn't have trash-talked him...Would Hurt a Child: Although in hindsight, boasting to Luke Cage that I would evenapproachhis and Jessica's unborn child was ahuge mistake.The Worf Effect: I suffered from this being Doom's captive. I throw every command at him while his shields were disabled and he still stood there with that smug ugly mug of his taunting me about who really deserves to rule.Excuse me?You're leaving? No, you won't! I COMMAND YOU to stay here and edit this page until I have thebestSelf-Demonstrating Articleon all ofTV Tropes!I WILL NOT BE DENIED!Oh while you're at it, make some changes to Von Doom's page so that everyone knows that he's a spoiled thumbsucker that misses his mommy."} {"text": "Lean, Mean, and Evergreen!Caption selected per Image Pickin' thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1439223241058151900Please do not replace or remove without discussion in this thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1404492079030138900(For full effect, read in the voices of eitherLisa Zane,Cree Summer,Eliza Dushku,Katee Sackhoff,Maria Canals Barrera, orTatiana Maslany.)Hold on. You mean to tell meWILSONgot aSelf-Demonstratingpage before me?! Even though I've been tearing down Marvel's fourth wall two years before he even showed up?! You're lucky I'm not nearly as ill-tempered asmy bigger cousin, or you'd have one hell of a mess on your hands.So I might as well introduce myself: the name's Jennifer Walters, and before I became the lean green machine you see today I was the shy daughter of Sheriff Morris Walters and Elaine Banner. My life took a dramatic turn when one of the local crime bosses tried to kill me to get back at my father. Had it been any other day I would've been a goner, but lucky for me my cousin Bruce was in town and he gave me the blood transfusion that saved my life.Little Did I Knowthe gamma radiation in his blood would have the same effect on me and would turn me into a raging green giant too: aShe-Hulkif you will.At first I transformed whenever I got scared, but eventually I was able to control my change at will. And once I got a grip on my own emotional holdups (the less we dive into that the better), I became the sensational gal you see today! While the old me was shy, mousey, and a bit of a stick, the new me is strong, confident, and the life of the party!And don't think for a second I'm just some girly sidekick for my cousin. Ever since I've been turning green I've been an Avenger, one of the Fantastic Four, a Defender, a Hero for Hire, a Lady Liberator...let's just say I've been a busy girl. Heck, I even get to lead my own team inA-Force!I've made some animated appearances too, most notably as second billing to my cousin inThe Incredible Hulk (1996)and as one of the members ofHulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.. Plus, I finally joined theMarvel Cinematic UniversewithShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law(about time Disney!), which even makes me aFourth-Wall Observeragain.Like I said, I've beenBreaking the Fourth Wallbefore Wade took over that schtick (ThanksByrnie!). That said, I have used the comics themselves as legal records for whenever I have a case that involves superheroes. Just because I'm a Hulk doesn't mean I'm all muscle you know.Feel free to go back to mymain pageif you want. Or you can hang out here and get to know me personally. C'mon, you know you want to!She-Hulkprovides examples of:Action Girl: Duh. It's what you get when The Hulk is in your blood.The Adjectival Superhero: I got saddled withtwoadjectives, if you can believe it. They called me \"The Savage She-Hulk\" first, and then I was \"The Sensational She-Hulk\". It's Marvel; they're big on alliteration.Amazonian Beauty: You better believe it! ThoughDepending on the ArtistI'm either a 7 foot supermodel or a female power lifter. Go figure.Arch-Enemy: Titania. That woman needs therapy; she REALLY despises me. On the non-super-powered side, Mallory Book, a coworker at a prestigious law firm branching out into superhuman law, took an instant dislike to me, and made it something of her mission in life to screw with me professionally, even representing the @#$%^&* LEADER at trial. And calling me as a witness. Let's just say it's a good thing for Mallory that I'm alotmore even-tempered than Bruce.Boobs of Steel: HEY. Where do you think you're looking?Brainy Brunette: As Jennifer Walters, anyway. As She-Hulk, it's more dark green.Breaking the Fourth Wall: You think Deadpool's the only one who can do that? I've been known to tear through comic pages to get to where I need to go as well!Cerebus Retcon:It turns out I actually died before becoming She-Hulk. The moment Bruce transplanted his blood in me, I entered the Green Door where The One Below-All left his mark on me.Character Development: Believe it or not, I was almost as grumpy as my cousin when I started out. It took some time before I became the laid-back gal that you know and love.Clothing Damage: Yeah... one of the things I hate about growing two feet and several hundred pounds of muscle. And I like those clothes too! Originally, as the Savage She-Hulk, my \"costume\" consisted of, apparently, the same ripped slip I wore under all my clothes... how many of those did I buy? Also, despite being (usually) very good friends with Reed Richards, some of my She-Hulk \"action\" outfits apparently are not made of his great unstable molecules, and rip and tear really easily.Not that any of you guys are complaining, amirite?Cursed with Awesome: There's a reason I'm the page image for that trope. Sure, turning green and growing six inches might have taken some getting used to, butnowI love it.Distaff Counterpart: To my cousin of course. We've got our differences, though: Bruce's big flaw was his repressed angernoteno thanks in part to myjerkof an uncle, Brian Banner, and mine was my crippling shyness. Bruce gets his strength from rage, and I get mine fromconfidence. And of course, he's a scientist, and I'm an attorney.Does Not Like Shoes: It's not that I hate shoes, but I tend to rip them open whenever IHulk Out. If I know I'm going to be on a mission, I usually put on appropriate footwear.Dude Magnet:Jenmay be a mousey lawyer, butShe-Hulk? Well, I'm not one to brag...often... but I do have quite a lot of admirers, both in and out of universe, it seems. I don't really like to get serious with anyone, though. Not enough hours in the day for that.Now quit staring at my butt!Just kidding you can look if you want to, but no touching!Even The Girls Want Me: You may be familiar with my long time rival Titania. Ginger hair? Purple costume? Completely obsessed with defeating me in sheer power and strength? Well, it's been often implied, if not just spelt out by Doc Samson, that her obsession with me could be sexual in nature. Then again, I don't blame her. I'D switch teams for me.Evil Uncle: Remember the note about my jerk of an uncle? Yeah, he tries to antagonize me as well just for being associated with Bruce. Take away any power Brian's \"acquired\" and he's aPaper Tiger. If I can only convince Bruce to see that...Fan Disservice:The recent me was gray-skinned with glowing green scars. Not a pretty sight at all.But that's nothing compared to my Incredible She-Hulk days way back. Same grey color but I started resembling Bruce in both appearance and speech.And it happened again during the fight with Bruce who's nowimmortal. I really started to resemble Bruce and now with the green to match.The less said about \"The Winter Hulk\", the better, okay?Fun Personified: My best known trait. You know you love it!At least until I was knocked unconscious by Thanos, and woke up from my coma only to learn that my cousin was murdered, but that's another story...which got concluded but I'm still not quite back to the She-Hulk you all know and love until Issue (7)50 of the Avengers.Hello, Attorney!: Oh, yeah. As She-Hulk I'm the very definition of sexy, and keep all my lawyer smarts! I've even got nice business suit tailored for all my seven-foot, muscular green glory! Jen's... well, kinda plain, so I guess you could sayPlayed With?Leotard of Power: My best known outfit. Probably one of the few outfits I own that doesn't rip when I grow, thank God.Life of the Party: As you wouldn't believe.Male Gaze: I'm a female superhero. Comes with the territory. Sometimes it seems like I can barelyturn aroundwithout the artists ogling my behind. Whatever... I do squats for a reason.Ms. Fanservice: Guess that's what happens when you rip your clothes every time you \"suit up.\" And you know, I like being She-Hulk, why not show it off? I'm gorgeous! Though, somehow, when I became a SHIELD Agent after Civil War, I ended up covered chin-to-toe in a SHIELD uniform, whileAgent Cheesecakegot to run around in the mostStripperific\"uniform\" I'veeverseen. I have no idea how that happened; clearly I need to review my comic book contracts more closely.Never Live It Down: Okay. For the last time, before you get my size 16 (women's) up your back door:I. Did. Not. Sleep. With. Juggernaut.Also, some yahoo thinks that, because I was the first one to bring down a SHIELD Helicarrier (it wasn't my fault, I swear) I'm somehow to blame every time one falls out of the sky. Is that on theInsane Troll Logicpage? It should be on theInsane Troll Logicpage.Really Gets Around: Oh come on, I'm not THAT wild... all the time... Hey, you're kinda cute!I once had askedTony Starkabout theDouble Standardin this trope, after we'd...debriefedeach other. His answer was interrupted by Zzaxx attacking the Helicarrier. Still, I think it would have been very interesting to hear his response, no? I also decided, after I'd become a bounty hunter, that I was through being a \"sexual pinball\"... and promptly fell into bed with Hercules. Hey, there's worse ways to fall of the wagon, shut up.And for the last time, Idid not sleep with the Juggernaut!That was an alternate universe version of me who DIDN'T have standards... To be fair, when it showed up in a montage (that Hellcat started without my permission) I apparently thought it was \"Annoying, but sweet.\" I'll take that as the writers acknowledging how I feel about being reminded of that moment.Retool: Every time I turn around it seems. I started off as the Savage She-Hulk, where I was basically exactly like my cousin Bruce butwith boobs. Then I bounced around between a few teams, before becoming the Sensational She-Hulk, which played up my wacky personality and had me breaking the fourth wall with gleeful abandon. Then I bounced around some more teams, got a graphic novel where I got stuck in my She-Hulk form (but not really), then became the Adjectiveless She-Hulk, where I went to work at a law firm specializing in superhero law. We got a bit more subtle about the whole fourth-wall thing, kinda, using Marvel Comics as legal documents (under the flimsiest excuse ever, if you ask me... but hey, I didn't write it). Then partway through Volume Two I got disbarred (and no, I won't tell you why until you get into the flashback issues) and became a bounty hunter, trying to lay off the whole \"hero\" thing (which is much harder than it sounds, by the way).Statuesque Stunner: Seven feet tall and proud of it!Superpowered Evil Side: Hey, I'm not evil! Just your everyday fun-loving gamma-irradiated gal! Though, when Mallory Book (my despicable co-worker at GLK&H) was defending The Leader (still can'tbelieveshe did that!) she tried to prove that gamma irradiation affected a person's judgement, trying to draw the analogy that it's like being drunk or on drugs, and so The Leader wasn't responsible for his behavior. To try and prove the point, she actually had the gall to call me as a hostile witness, and have me list off all my sexual partners as She-Hulk versus as Jen Walters. She-Hulk took a long time. Jen... not so much.I wouldn't know anything aboutmy current statejust yet. So far,I seem to be dealing with the same problem as Bruce after giving up the superhero business; Trying to stay Jen Walters the attorney and not hulk out. Aside froma bunch of alternate covers, this gray me with what looks like glowing green cuts hasn't made a full debut, so we'll just have to wait until then.Super Strength: Comes with the gamma radiation.Theme Song: According to Slott, at least, mine is \"Tubthumping\" by Chumbawamba. I swear, I keep taking it off my playlist...Trauma Conga Line: Well, I wouldn't say it was that bad, but at the start of adjectiveless She-Hulk, I had a case overturned because I just happened to help save the world during my closing argument, which resulted in me being dismissed from the D.A.'s office. Then I was kicked ou- asked to move out of the Avenger's mansion, because it was felt I was taking a few too many liberties with the partying, the parking, and the pantry. And the underwear model I was \"dating\" at the time dumped me because he thought I lacked depth... moron. Then I land a job a one of the most prestigious law firms in New York, only to find out I've been hired because they're branching out into superhero law and need an expert in that subject... and the senior partner refuses to let me work as She-Hulk, requiring me to be Jen Walters. But, the job actually turned out to be really fun! While it lasted, anyway. Then there was the whole\"Civil War\"thing, then I got drafted by S.H.I.E.L.D. as part of the Hulkbuster squad, andthenI found out Tony Stark and his brain trust shot Bruce into space.I was not pleased with that development.What Happened to the Mouse?: WheredidSouthpaw and Jazela go, anyway?With Great Power Comes Great Hotness: But of course! Who would want plain, mousy little Jennifer when they can have all seven feet of curvaceous, vivacious me? (Seriously, this is one of my few hang-ups. Waking up in the morning next to a guy as average, ordinary me instead of the glamazon they went to bed with is. . . awkward and uncomfortable. For all involved.)Work Hard, Play Hard: I'm pretty good at my job, both in the courtroom and kicking villains' butts\u2026 And I love partying!! Heh, sometimes I've taken it up to eleven and even the other Avengers have to tell me to cool down a bit."} {"text": "Burn like my power...SINESTRO'S MIGHT!To thinkthat baldheaded foolandthat miserable clownshould have pages before me...And now that I have one, beware... I will have my revenge.Who am I, you may ask?I am Sinestro.Thaal Sinestro.FormerlyGreen Lanternof the planet Korugar in space sector 1417 and arch nemesis of Earth's so-called premiere ring-bearer Hal Jordan. I was created by the likes of John Broome and Gil Kane - who incidentally, modeled me after a Terrestrial actor called David Niven - and made my debut in issue number 7 of the first series of Jordan's title in 1961.I sought to use my ring to preserve order my way and had hoped to use my methods rather than those of the Guardians of the Universe to bring total peace to my planet, then my sector and finally the universe itself. I was known as the greatest Green Lantern and my sector was the safest in the universe. However, Jordan, that fool from that primitive planet Earth, didn't likethe measures I tookto make my sector safe; he believed I was adictator who ruled with an iron fistand caused the Guardians to brand me a renegade and to send me to the Anti-Matter universe of Qward, where I was granted my own power ring, which was yellow in color. Of course that meant that the Green Lantern rings were powerless against it. Still, Jordan would manage to thwart my plans time and again, eventually resulting in my imprisonment inside the Central Battery of Oa while the Guardians went away with the Zamarons.Eventually, the Guardians returned and called upon me to stop Jordan, who had gone mad due to the loss of his Terran hometown of Coast City and was seeking the power of the Central Battery. After an arduous fight, it appeared that Jordan had killed me prior to his entering the battery to become Parallax.The truth was, that was a hard light duplicate created by the true Parallax and controlled by me. Once the Battery was destroyed, I was truly released and hid as I watched the Parallax-possessed Jordan become the very traitor that he despised me for being. What I did not count on was a surviving Guardian granting a power ring to a neophyte and dirty alley rat named Kyle Rayner. Soon enough, he had discovered the existence of Parallax. Of course, I made my presence known and was about to kill him and thatmiserable bowman, when Jordan, who had previously sacrificed his life to reignite the Sun and becomeThe Spectre, came back to life, purged of any influence of Parallax. The two of us fought to a draw with Jordan damaging my ring, forcing me to escape to the Anti-Matter Universe.Soon enough I encountered there theAnti-Monitor, who had engineered theCrisis on Infinite Earths, and embraced the doctrine of spreading fear. In order to counteract Jordan and the reborn Green Lantern Corps (Whom I will admit have improved their rings to finally be able to directly affect the color yellow for at least their hardened troops), I decided to form my own army... the Sinestro Corps! I offered Rings like my own to the most fearsome warriors in the universe! Together we would spread fear and our own ways of policing the universe. Of course, the Green Lanternshad to be eliminated first.Or at least,I had to make the Guardians change certain policies to truly make their corps a serious police force, ready to apply appropriate measures when necessary.As it happened, I achieved that secondary goal and even my naive opponents like Jordan and Stewart grudgingly agreed with me in principle with this reform.But that was only the beginning. Soon enough, moreRing Corpsemerged. The result... theBlackest Night, followed by the so-calledBrightest Day.After that fiasco, I was pulled into a hunt for the emotional entities. Then Krona reappeared and used the entity represented by my Corps, Parallax, to seize control of the Green Lantern Corps. With Parallax at his command, Krona overrode my ring and took it from me. After Jordan managed to kill him those idiotic Guardians expelled him from the Corps, resulting in his ring going to me, quite against my own objections.I was captured by the Indigo Tribe at one point, and saved by Jordan. Finally, the Guardiansprovedwhat I've always maintained: That they are evil and should be wiped out. Not long after, the so-calledFirst Lanterndestroyed my home planet. I reclaimed the yellow light and vowed revenge, freeing my former Corps from their Sciencells on Oa, claiming Parallax for myself and aiding in the destruction of the First Lantern, followed by almost all of the Guardians themselves.With nothing left for me in this universe,I leftto go on my own path.That is, untilmy chosen wielder of the Yellow Ring in Jordan's sectorused a ring, drawing me back to save the Earth from evil. After aiding the Earth, I have gone my own way with my daughter and my Corps to spread my message and preserve the universe to the best of my ability, including New Korugar.But enough history.I have been voiced by the likes ofVic Perrin and Don Messick,Ted Levine,John De Lancie,Miguel Ferrer,Xander Berkeley,Victor Garber,Jason Isaacs,Ron Perlman(because every person inthe universedeemed evil has to be voiced by him at one point),Troy BakerandDarin De Paul.Mark Strongportrays me in thefilm.Luis Miguel P\u00e9rezandRa\u00fal Anayadubbed me into spanish four times each, more than anyone else! But I willnever live downthe... fact... that Charlie Callas played me as well.Tropes associated with me:The Ace: I was a legendary Green Lantern in my time, and my skills with a power ring are beyond compare, regardless of what color it may be - Green, Yellow, Indigo or White.Arch-Enemy: To Hal Jordan at times.Armor-Piercing Question: During the events ofBlackest Night, that fiend Nekron attempts to destroy me by resurrecting Arin and questioning my motives up to this point. While my rationale wassound, she asks me \"Was it worth it?\" I was... not ready for that question.Back-to-Back Badasses: Of late with Jordan. You needn't read anything into it. It's just the most convenient posture since I extend my left arm to use my ring and he extends his right, nothing more.Badass Arm-Fold: Many times it isn't even worth it to raise a hand to my opponents. I can use my ring comfortably in such situations.Badass Boast: I've delivered my fair share of these:Nothing frightens me. I am fear.Badass Creed: As the Green Lanterns have their oath, so do the members of my Corps. My oath, presented below, serves as the template:In Blackest Day, in Brightest Night,Beware your fears made into light,Let those who try to stop what's right,Burn like my power... Sinestro's might!Of course, other members of the Corps have to say \"his power\".Berserk Button: During the War of the Green Lanterns, that traitorous wretch Lyssa Drak had the audacity toattempt to imprison me in my own memories of my time as a Green Lantern.Once I realized the deception, I tore through the Book of the Black in order to make her know true suffering, but my attempts were thwarted by none other than the rogue Guardian Krona.Big Bad: What Jordan and the Guardians insist I am.Blood Knight: If you understood the beauty of combat as I do, you'd never be content to sit in a computer chair again, Troper.Break the Badass: That fool Gardner rightfully ridicules Jordan for the quality of Jordan's enemies... but not once has he dared make those jokes aboutme.Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: When took the power of the Entity inBlackest Nightand I swiftly destroyed the host of the menace Nekron. A hollow victory, as the Death entity can use any number of his Black Lanterns as a new host as long as he has a tether to this universe, I soon found out.Characterization Marches On:Geoff Johnsmade me who I am today. Before his work I was a mereFlat Characterwho existed as anEvil Counterpartto Hal Jordan. Now I fight to bring order to the universe,acting as bothenemyandallyto the Green Lantern Corp.Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Ineedno insipid \"codename\", for the name \"Thaal Sinestro\" alone strikes terror into the hearts of all those wretches who would oppose my will! Of course,when Broome and Kane first started chronicling my battles with Hal Jordan, the misinformed Terrans of the 1970's assumed that \"Sinestro\" was my chosennom de guerre.It's not, and it has never been. Honest.Complete Monster: Not me, no. But my alternate universe counterpart inUniverse-32is far more of a tyrant than I, with none of the good reasons I have for what I do.Crazy-Prepared: Did you really think that I would gather the most fearsome beings in the universe, given them the ultimate weapon, and not be able to shut them down when one tried to use it against me? Mongul II learned this the hard way...My Corps also learned this when they enslaved my homeworld...Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: The tropes on this page should tell you that my actions don't leave me with a good reputation. As such, I left my family so they wouldn't be associated with me.Dastardly Whiplash: Some more ignorant observers tend to label me evil judging by my appearance. What am I to blame if I just so happen to look similar to human scoundrels like these?Depending on the Artist: The fools can never seem to decide what color my skin is,notered, purple, pink or pinkish-purplewhether or not my ears are pointed, or the size of my forehead.Does This Remind You of Anything?: While, obviously, I am a complete and unique entity, I have noticed certain disturbing parallels between my life and that of one ofyour Earth spirits. Consider that I was oncethe best and brightestof aheavenlyhost, whoserefusal to bowto the narrow-minded and short-sighted dictates of myso-called superiorsled to me beingcast out, and becomingtheir greatest enemy. Of course, I do not believe that I havelost any paradise.Doomed Hometown: My entireplanet, that monster Volthoom destroyed it before my eyes...The Dragon: I was forced to place myself under the Anti-Monitor's command during the war... Inanother universe,I served as the right-hand ofLex Luthor.Dragon with an Agenda: To the Anti-Monitor during my Corps' war against the Green Lanterns. Of course,everyoneworking under the Anti-Monitor had their own agenda, but I was one of the few to succeed in mine...The Dreaded: Even that arrogant fool Guy Gardner knows not to mention my name.Enemy Mine: To survive theBlackest NightI have had to form a cease fire with theGreen LanternCorps and work together with them and the other Corps. The truce is still intact (at least until we decide what to do withthe missing emotion Entities and the White Lantern Battery that we've found on Earth).During the same event, we allied against Mongul II when he took over my home world Korugar, though I insisted on fighting himself. You might think me mad for that, but I had included a failsafe in my rings in case they were used against me I could use at any time. He never stood a chanceEven Evil Has Loved Ones: Arin... that woman... she wasnothing at all.I wasn't going to hurt Arsona. She could have acknowledged me after all these years...Evil Counterpart: To Jordan, of all people.Evil Plan: For my ultimate goal of an orderly and peaceful universe.Evil Versus Oblivion: Regardless of what you may call me, the threats that have forced me into anEnemy Minewith the Green Lanterns have threaten our very reality. The battle between our corps is pointless when such threats arise.The Extremist Was Right: The employing of lethal force has proven necessary time and time again against the Green Lantern Corp's greatest enemies, and the Guardians were evil and deserved to die, saveGanthet.From Nobody to Nightmare: I was once a mere archaeology student on Korugar. Obviously, I have come a long way since then.Good is Not Nice: As you humans say,that is my story and I am sticking to it.I Have Your Wife: I will admit to feeling fear only once: when that brute Atrocitus threatened my daughter. Wouldn't you, if someone threatened to go after your children?Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: Villain, hero, call me whatever you want. If it is for the good of the universe I will side with whoever I wish.Hero's Evil Predecessor: While I take issue with being labeled as \"evil\", I did hold the title of the greatest Green Lantern before Jordan surpassed me in the eyes of the Corps., only in that he still clings to their flawed ideals as he does what he can.Hijacking Cthulhu: My control over fear and willpower is so great that I can control Parrallax. It's not easy even for me, so I have to avoid pushing the entity too hard.Human Aliens: Howdareyou slander my race by comparing us to such primitive creatures asEarthmen?! Indeed,youareKorugarian Aliens, bereft of our rich magenta hue.Imagination-Based Superpower: The rings of power that I wield allow me to form anything I can imagine out of colored light.Legion of Doom: Yes, I have been a part of this particular group. So?Light Is Not Good: Iamgood and I do what is necessary to preserve order. My lantern's ability to instill fear aids the process. Do you not realize that some peopleshouldbe afraid?Luke, I Am Your Father: I was finally forced to reveal myself to my daughter, Soranik Natu, along with our relationship, because I took the threats the Red Lanterns made against her seriously and saw fit to warn her. For whatever reason, she didn't take it well.Magnificent Bastard: Does this mean performing evil works with grandeur? Ha. From you Earthmen, I shall take it as a compliment.Man of Kryptonite: At first, my ring was the very antithesis to those of my former colleagues in the Green Lantern Corps.Meaningful Name:So my name happens to sound like something evil in the Earthmen's language. It's probably what biased Jordan against me.Has it never occurred to those pathetic sub-species to think at all that in the dead Earth language they know as Latin,the word \"sinestra\" means \"left hand\", and that I happened to be left-handed?Never My Fault: I do have a tendency to downplay my own role in events, shifting the blame entirely onto other involved parties, such as the Guardians of the Universe.The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: During my fight with Mongul II on Korugar I insisted on fighting him myself to point where I even forced them out. You may think me a fool for that, especially since I losing for most of the fight, but I had installed a failsafe in my Power Rings allowing me to control them even if they weren't in my possession. Mongul never stood a chance even with six rings and his greater strength.The Paragon Always Rebels: Once I was hailed as the greatest Green Lantern. And only I could see how flawed the Guardians' attempt at maintaining order in the universe truly was. Ihadto ensure the universe would be a better place.Retcon: I wasnotraised from death in the 1990s by one of the Spectre's foes. I was alive and well at the time. That was a mind-trick played on the Spectre's host, the hated Hal Jordan, by Parallax.A Sinister Clue: Though \"sinister\" isn't the word I'd use, I am, in fact, left handed.Utopia Justifies the Means: Of course, my methodsseemharsh, but imagine how orderly and peaceful the universe would be with me in charge!Villainous Friendship: I've come to respectBlack Adamfor whatwe havein common. He even received my Sinestro Corps with open arms in Kahndaq on one occasion. Hisbombastic naturedoes wear on my nerves at times, though.Villain Has a Point: I plotted theSinestro Corps Warto ensure the Green Lanterns would remove their restriction on killing. Given they needed to remove their restriction on killing to survive against my own Corp in the first place, I think you would argue the universe is better off with the Green Lanterns using lethal force. Even Jordan begrudgingly admitted it.Villain Respect: WhileIam the greatest Lantern of them all, I will concede that my old student, Jordan - frustrating as he can be - is the nearest thing that I have to a rival. His constructs are pedestrian, his abilities as a leader are middling, but though I hated to admit it, his infuriating habit of doing the unexpected can flummox even me. I also have to admit that his mastery of Will is second only to my own. WhileIam the greatest Green Lantern, I have to admit that he is the greatest of those still serving in my old corps. He is my greatest student, my only friend, and I sometimes wonderif he were beside me once more... what could we not achieve?Villainous Widow's Peak: It's been brought to my attention that many earthlings equate my hairstyle to my morality. In this case, casting me in a less than reputable view. Truly your superstitious nature knows no bounds.Was It Really Worth It?: I have sacrificed much to bring order to Korugar. My wife dead, my daughter raised by strangers, and betrayed by one of only two people in the Corps I considered a friend. And how does Korugar thank me? By declaring me as its greatest villain. That is my place in her history. But much more must be sacrificed if order is to be brought to the universe! And that abomination that took my wife's corpse had the audacity to ask me, \"has it been worth it?\"I...I don't...We Can Rule Together: I have sometimes made Jordan the gracious offer to instruct him in Fear as I once did in Will - he has an aptitude. He has, typically, refused.Well-Intentioned Extremist: Once again, I deplore use of words such as \"extremist\", but I must use such tactics if order is to be kept in place.Willing Channeler: Parallax may have possessed his past hosts, but he has learned thatIam the one who controls fear.The Worf Effect: This seems to be the only reason writers allow me to control an emotional entity. When I became the host to the Entity, it was only demonstrate how much of a threat Nekron was, specifically because he could use a new Black Lantern as a host as long as he had a link to our universe. When facing the Volthoom The First Lantern, I took control of Parallax, but The First Lantern was still too powerful.Xanatos Gambit: TheSinestro Corps Warwasn't merely an attempt to overthrow the Green Lantern Corps. It was a way to force the Guardians to do what was necessary to strengthen the Corps. Now that they can kill, the universe will fear the Green Lanterns.And the universe will be better for it."} {"text": "(If Spawn is channeling eitherKeith David,Kevin Michael RichardsonorMichael Jai White, try not to piss him off. You'll live longer.)It's said that an ending can sometimes be a beginning in disguise. In life, I was a hero. A Marine. A soldier serving God and country. Until I was betrayed and killed.In death, I was reborn. The man once known as Albert Francis Simmons wasno more. Now, I am Spawn.I made my debut in my namesake comic in May of 1992, as an undead vigilante seeking only to reunite with my wife. But I became so much more.I should start from the beginning, in a sense. My childhood was spent in Detroit, Michigan, me being the second-eldest of three children. Growing up, I joined the Marines and worked my way up to Lieutenant Colonel. Following a stint with the Secret Service, I was recruited into the C.I.A., where I joined a black-ops unit commanded by Jason Wynn.He would be the one who orchestrated my death. I was betrayed by a person who I would take a bullet for, and was burned alive. But my death was just the beginning.In Hell, the Devil himself, Malebolgia made me an offer I couldn't refuse: to join his army as a Hellspawn in exchange of me being able to see my wife again. I accepted the offer.But Malebolgia tricked me.Five years has passed since my death. Wanda had remarried my best friend, Terry Fitzgerald, and they both had a daughter together, Cyan. The life I knew was now gone, forever out of my reach.So I made my home in the alleyways of Rat City. There, I found my calling, my purpose in my second life. I cleaned up the alleyways of the criminals who terrorized the homeless living there.That was the beginning.Oh, I've done many things as Spawn, troper. So many are my exploits, they are so long that I would take days to tell it all. But here are the key events. I took down Overt-Kill and fought off the likes of Angela and Jade, angelic beings who hunt Hellspawn like me. I almost caused the apocalypse by sleeping with Wanda and stopped it by sealing both God and the Devil away in order for them to has out their grievances. I've pissed off both Heaven and Hell with my actions and have not regretted it. I've made friends and stood my ground against new enemies.I've also made my mark in entertainment, troper.The animated seriesis quite possibly my best work. I also have alive-action filmunder my belt. Aside from a couple of video games, two specific events come to mind, both of them fighting games. My fighting game debut consistedof me searching for Soul Edge on Malebogia's orders. My most recent outing involvesdealing with Kronika and her scheme to reset time. And despite our differences, the Shirai Ryu grandmaster and his Lin Kuei counterpart are both kindred spirits. It turns out they and their thunder godhavealsometthe billion dollar crusaderas well.

This is gonna be fun.I was oncepitted againstthat guy who's got a real vendetta towards the gods.Unfortunately for him, he just couldn't stack up against me.Weaksauce Weakness: Ultimately, decapitation is the only thing that can stop me permanently."} {"text": "Just your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man!(This page is best read in the voices ofChristopher Daniel Barnes,Josh Keaton,Yuri Lowenthal,Jake Johnson,Tobey Maguire,Andrew Garfield, orTom Holland)Hey there, everyone! It's your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man! And I'm pretty sure you know the rest.I'm a teenager who lives with my Uncle Ben and Aunt May in New York City. During a visit to a science lab, I was bitten by a radioactive spider that grants me the power of a spider. I have super senses, super strength, super speed, super agility, and of course, I can stick to walls. It's like they said, \"I can do everything that a spider can!\"But enough about that, time to cut to the chase. As you know, after I obtained my powers, I decided to use it for my own personal gain. At first it was amazing, but after my uncle died at the hands of a burglar because of my own carelessness and irresponsibility, I decided then and there to use my powers for good. From that day forward, I became Spider-Man. (There's a hyphen between the spider and man but everyone keeps forgetting it nowadays.)As soon as I became Spider-Man, I began to protect New York from several crimes, and in the process, I started my infamous rivalry with the head of the Daily Bugle (also my boss), J. Jonah Jameson, and trust me, you have no idea how many times he's called me \"a menace\". But hey, can't say I blame him.Anyway, throughout the years, I've become quite a popular character. I starred in myfirst TV show from the '60s,an animated series in the '80s, another in the '90s, and let's just say, the list goes on and on from 2003, '08, '12, '17, and the one in '21. There was alsoan animated movie with plenty of Spider-Men, though it mostly concerned my fan and friendMiles Morales.When it comes to my live action portrayal, there wasone show in the seventies... andthat Japanese one where I pilot a mecha... but who am I kidding, what counts are the movies. So much so I've had three incarnations throughout the years. Thefirst oneis byTobey MaguirebySam Raimi, thesecond oneis byAndrew Garfieldby Marc Webb, and finally,Tom HollandbyJon Wattsin theMCU, which somehow sticks for good (for now). Suffice to say that, all of their portrayals made me a controversial and divisive character to the fans, but I don't mind that.Of course, yours truly has appeared in more than just live-action movies and TV shows. I've also had several video games, such asSpider-Man (Atari 2600),Spider-Man (2000),Spider-Man: The Movie, andSpider-Man (PS4). The last one on thePS4might just be my best outing to date, if I may toot my own horn. I've also had several games where I've teamed up with other heroes like Cap, Wolvie, and others such asMarvel Ultimate Alliance,LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, and so on. But here's where therealfun begins. There's also been a whole series of fighting games fromCapcom, where the other heroes (and yes, even the bad guys) and I duke it out with characters from Capcom's universe in a little showdown you all callMarvel vs. Capcom. In those games, yours truly got to fight against (or with) the many notable names such asRyu,Mega Man, and many more from their universe.Throughout the years, I've made lots of friends (and enemies) in my life. Where would I start? Among them, I've got Mary Jane Watson (my number-one girlfriendandwife), Harry Osborn (my best friend), Norman Osborn (AKA the Green Goblin, my sworn enemy), Gwen Stacy (my second girlfriend, and my other counterpart with her as Spider-Gwen), Miles Morales (my alternate universe counterpart), Felicia Hardy (AKA Black Cat, my on-again, off-again ally, friend, what have you) Cindy Moon (AKA Silk, who shared my abilities too), Eugene \"Flash\" Thompson (my famous rival), Venom (my symbiotic frenemy from space), Tony Stark (one of my mentors), Curt Connors (one of my science friend (and my enemy, The Lizard)), Daredevil (my lawyer), Deadpool (my sitcom archenemy)noteAw, come on man! I'm not all that bad! Just some guy who wants to have fun, ya know?, and many more.But I guess that's enough about me. It's time for me to describe about myself to everyone, which I'll do right away. I just hope my enemies don't decide to pop up on this website and join me. Especially not J.J.J. I already have to deal with him describing meenough as it is. Wait. I thinkhe\u2019s hereright now. Oh bugger.Here's everything related to me.Affirmative-Action Legacy: In the ultimate universe,Miles Moralesis my sucessor from the African-American and Latino community.All-Loving Hero: I'm not the type to get angry easily and no matter what, I will always keep myself in high spirits.All of the Other Reindeer: I often get the short end of the stick. At school, I am bullied frequently by Flash, at work by J Jonah Jameson, and perhaps in the Avengers Facility too. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a hero after all.noteAunt May: Of course, you are! I believe that you could better than anyone if you just believe in yourself, Peter.Alliance of Alternates: First there wasSpider-Verse, where all sorts of Spider-Men were brought in to fight the Inheritors. ThenSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where all sorts of Spider-Men were brought in by and to fight the Kingpin. And finallySpider-Man: No Way Home, where Tom Holland got in a mess so big he only solved it by teaming up with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.Alternate Company Equivalent: I believe Static Shock fromDC Comicsis this to me.Amicable Exes: Given the circumstances of why we broke up,notethe whole selling our marriage to Mephisto to save Aunt Maydoesn't mean we stopped having feelings for each other, MJ and I are still incredibly close friends, and I will always look upon her as the love of my life, with her returning the sentiment. So much so, many people wonder why we aren't still together. In recent times however, its not so amicable, as apparently I didsomething really bad, and everyone agrees, particularly her new boyfriend, she was well within her right to leave me.Animal-Themed Superbeing: If you didn't know already, I'm themed after a spider.Arch-Enemy: I've got a few that could qualify. Doctor Octopus/Otto Octavius definitely would like to think of himself as this, while Venom/Eddie Brock was a contender before we patched things up. But without a doubt the one man I've ever, truly hated with every fiber of my being is Norman Osborn, aka. The Green Goblin. He killed Gwen,noteor put her in the situation that led to her death, I will never forgive him for that.Jameson's got nothing on any of these guys.Arc Words: \"With great power, there must also come great responsibility.\" I'll always remember that, Uncle Ben.Badass Adorable: MJ has called me cute a lot and I can go toe-to-toe with some of the biggest heavy-hitters in the Marvel Universe, so I guess I qualify.Badass Bookworm: You might look at me as Peter Parker and think I'm just some science dweeb (which I kinda am) but that \"science dweeb\" has made his own web-shooters, has an extensive knowledge of biology and other scientific fields and can kick your butt faster than you can say \"Pizza Time\".Berserk Button:Now that she's gone, anything that sullies my view of Gwen usually sets me off. Not even MJ is spared of this, as I briefly went off on her learning she had kept agiantsecret Gwen entrusted to hernoteGwen was pregnant when she left for Europe that one time, no the baby, or should I say babies, weren't mine,and what really happened is a long story.years after she had died and we were married. In MJ's defense, she pointed out that I wasn't the only one who lost Gwen, and she was just keeping her word to honor her late friend, as well as attempting to preserve my memories of Gwen.Beware the Nice Ones: Look, I actively try to be, and usually am, a kind-hearted, easy going guy, but come after my family, in particular Mary Jane or Aunt May, or one of my friends, and I can get pretty nasty.Oh yeah, not even ifit's J.Jyou're trying to hurt.And don'teverbesmirchGwen'sgood name in front of me either.Big Brother Mentor: Once I got a little older, I started becoming this to many of the other teen heroes who came after me. I've been in their shoes, so I know what a lot of them are facing.Blood Knight: Um, yeah. While I'm not as blatant about it as some, I will admit that I can find fighting crooks to be kinda fun and a bit of a stress reliever. I do try to keep this side of me in control though so I don't go off the deep end.Body Horror: I've had some really bad experiences with this:At one point, I was so fed up with the problems I had juggling my superhero and civilian lives that I created a serum I thought would get rid of my spider-powers. I was really having an off-day when I created the serum, since it made me grow four extra arms instead.I've been turned into a \"man-spider\" multiple times, both in the comics and in the 1990s cartoon. I still shudder to think about it.And then there was the time that I got turned into a lizard-man hybrid after confronting the Iguana, aSuspiciously Similar Substituteto the Lizard. I was just lucky-really,reallylucky-that Dr. Curt Connors managed to cure me.Born Unlucky: I'm not one to let the universe get me down and all, but darn,does it seem to be out for me. And at least one or two Spidey's out there in the big ol' multiverse that have had it pretty rough.There's one from thisnifty video gamethat goes through all the motions of losing Mom, Dad, and Uncle Ben, but this one gets the added wrinkle of MJ dumping him and getting kicked out of his apartment, on top of having JJJ squish his name every chance he gets (like seriously, does that guy have any other hobbies?). But you think taking down the Kingpin would make things better? Nope! Turns out the guy his Aunt May is working for decides to take over New York and kill his best friend's dad becauseNorman killed Martin Li's parents trying to cure his wife from a disease that Harry's got, whileOtto Octavius becomes Doc Ock like usual, only this one knew Peter and Spidey were one and the same and used that against him. Oh, and ifthatwasn't worse, then Felicia comes along andlies about having a son, Captain Watanabegoes off the deep end and becomes a vigilante, and Hammerhead causes a massive gang war on top of it. Geez, and I thought I had it bad. Well, at least he and his MJfinally get back together after the whole thing.Gotta take your wins with your losses, I guess.And it looks likethings are about to get rough again. So far, he's found the symbiote, Connors ends up the Lizard again with Kraven on his tail, but only Connors can helpsave Harry, and Venom, of course, isn't too far behind. Apparently it's not Eddie this time, either. 'Gonna have to wait to see how all this plays out...Okay...and now myMCU versiongot hit with this. Same deal\u2014dead parents, losing Uncle Ben\u2014only this time my teenaged counterpartturns to dust for five yearsand his mentor Tony Starkdies saving the universe from Thanos.No big deal, right?Mysterio tricks the poor kid into handing over a weapons platform so he can trash Tony's legacy, then outs him as Spidey and frames him for murder. EvenMatt Murdockgetting the charges dropped opens the floodgates for JJJ to slander his social life, andDoctor Strangetrying to cast a spell to make everyone forget Peter is Spider-Man... wait, am I reading this right? It brings over five villains and two Spider-Men fromthe lasttwo seriesinto his universe, includingVenom?Oh, geez. Typical Parker luck. Oh, wait, there's more?Gobby kills Aunt May and he has to wipe all knowledge of Peter Parker from his universe just to stop the multiverse from collapsing in on itself?Yep, gonna need tissues for this one. Makes me regret going down the whole \"selling my marriage to the devil thing\" even more.Breaking the Fourth Wall: Apart from right now, I do this at times though not to the extend of my \"enemy\"noteDeadpool: Hey Spidey! I'm your friend!Breakout Character: I was the focus of the final issue of a dying comics line, but I sold well enough that I got my own comic series, I even passed upMarvel's First Familyin popularity, and while I don't mean to brag, I'm easily one of the most iconic Supers out there. So iconic, I'm pretty much theMascotof my universe.Brilliant, but Lazy:Spider-Man 2is theTrope Namer, in which Dr. Connors described me with these exact words. Thing is, I actually subvert this trope; while people recognize my science smarts, they think I don't study because I gotta spend time as Spider-Man. I can't explain what's really going on without blowing my secret identity, so there's nothing I can do.Bullying a Dragon: I was a scrawny nerd growing up, which is why bullies called me \"Puny Parker.\" While the spider bite gave me superhuman strength, it didn't really increase my size. I'm still a relatively small guy, so bigger men sometimes think I'm easy prey when I'm out in my street clothes. I'll try to talk them down, but if they insist on starting a fight I have no problem finishing it.Buried Alive: It's definitely one of the most horrifying experiences in my entire life. Kraven, after finally besting me in combat, placed me in a coffin and buried me in a cemetery. I had to claw myself out of my own grave! If it hadn't been for my love for Mary Jane, I probably would have given up and accepted my death.Butt-Monkey: I rank right up there withGood Ol' Charlie Brownwhen it comes to comic characters with rotten luck. A lot of it comes from trying to juggle being Spider-Man while also keeping my grades up, paying the bills and trying to have some kind of social life. Some of it really is just random misfortune, though. We've mostly patched things up these days, but Jolly Jonahreallyhad it in for me for a long time and used his media empire to ask whether I was a \"threat or menace.\" (Yes, that's where the question comes from.)Chick Magnet: I don't mean to brag but I'm pretty popular with the ladies. MJ's my one and only of course.Chippendales Dancers: Hey, what can I say. My wife is super-model level hot, and I wanted to show off for her. So I dressed down, to show off the muscles. How was I supposed to know Mary Jane was bringing a friend home!?! Thankfully, her friend thought I was handsome enough to pull it off. Still mortifying though.Cloning Blues: Um, I'd rather not talk aboutit(in one cartoon I even mentioned how I hate clones). And two of copies have stuck, pun not intended, Ben Reilly and Kaine.Dating Catwoman: Err, Felicia and I kinda do get a little close sometimes...and even closer thanthatduring the times I broke up with MJ. Just don't tell MJ.noteThough to be fair, I was kinda still dating Cat, when MJ and I got married...and I didn't even tell her. She only found out when Mary Jane and I got back from our honeymoon and Felicia was waiting in my apartment.Oops.Cat: It's too bad, Spider. We could have really made quite a team, and pulled off many Heists of the century.David Versus Goliath: I'm not that big a guy, and I'm usually on the lower end of the Marvel Universe's strength scale, so a lot of my fights are this. Not only do I regularly tangle with the Rhino, I've even had to fightThe Incredible Hulkmore than once. I didn't exactly win against the Hulk, but I did win against Firelord, a guy that theSilver Surferhas trouble with. I also beat Titania so badly she became scared of me for a long time, but I was pretty nervous during that fight myself and wasn't thrilled about having to fight her again later on.Deadpan Snarker:No way! Me? Spider-Man? A snarker?I kid. I tend to be involved with some, how should I put it? Oh, yeah, deranged maniacs who want to kill me all the time so anyway I can get them off their game, I will weaponize sarcasm to my spider-heart's content.Deconstruction: My creatorsStan LeeandSteve Ditkodesigned me as this for the superhero comics of their day. Instead of being teenager who was aKid Sidekick(something Lee especially hated), I was a teenage protagonist. I also showed the realistic impact being a superhero would have on someone's personal life, as I was constantly plagued with money troubles, trying to balance being a superhero and student, distrusted by most of the citizens I tried to protect and having a hard time making friends.Deal with the Devil:...Not my proudest moment, and even my failure over Gwen made more sense than this.Long story short, after Aunt May took a bullet for me,Mephistocame to me and said he could save her life, but he wanted to erase me and Mary Jane's marriage as payment. And for reasons that evenIdon't understand, I said yes.At least some people out there like to pretend it never happened. And from the looks of things, me and MJ seem to be getting together again. One thing for sure, on that day I learned why everyone leaves the demon business toJohnny Blaze.Determinator: Look, I have suffered numerous emotional and physical traumas, yet I can never find it in me to quit for good. No matter how much you kick me to the curb or threaten my loved ones, I will get back up again because that's what you have to do as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.Distaff Counterpart: Oh boy, where to begin?Jessica Drewwas the first, but definitely not the last. Julia Carpenter and Mattie Franklin also took up her mantle. They even had anEvil Counterpartin the form of Charlotte Witter. Anya Corazon was also Spider-Girl for a while.In one universe,my daughter Maytook up my webs. I retired early in that universe after my leg got blown off during a fight with the Green Goblin. My priorities started changing when I had trouble rehabbing and was concerned about being able to provide for May.And then there'sCindy Moon.She got bit by a spider at the same science demonstration I did. We were really attracted to each other for a while, possibly due to the mystic side of our powers. I'm still trying to figure out what that was meant for.In a few different alternate universes, women I know ranging from Betty Brant to Mary Jane to Gwen Stacy all get the bite instead of me.Spider-Gwenis probably the most famous one, but she's far from the only one.Fountain of Expies: I had a massive impact on superhero comics when I first debuted, being one of the first teenage protagonists and actually showing theSurprisingly Realistic Outcomeof being a superhero. A lot of other heroes who were teenagers and/or had trouble balancing their civilian and heroic lives followed in my footsteps, not just at Marvel but at ourDistinguished Competitionand in a lot of other mediums. You can hear more inanother trope below.\"Freaky Friday\" Flip: I was on the receiving end of this in Superior Spider-Man courtesy of Doc Ock. Realizing I wouldn't be able to swap back before I died in his old body, I told him why I became Spider-Man. He was shocked and willingly took on the mantle until I somehow came back.My\"Ultimate\" selfwas also subject to this with Wolvi. He had a pretty crappy day while Wolverine was making passes at MJ, who mind you was in high school at the time (he-llo~?!). Turns out it was the doing ofJean Greywho was annoyed with him hitting on her and swapped his mind with \"the place it least wanted to be\" to teach him a lesson. Let's just say mini-me hadvery selective wordsfor her and the X-Men once the switch was reversed.Ultimate Me:God! You know why people hate you? It's not because you're mutants!! It's because you're all a bunch of @#$@#$$@$%@##@#!! That's why!! You $^$%^$%^$$^$%^$%#^%#$$%^#$%^$^!!!AAAGGHHH!Friend to All Children: The kiddos really like me, and I'm just as nuts about them in return. Especially one of my fans, a terminally ill boy who wanted to meet me so bad that he had written to the Daily Bugle, Robbie delivered the letter to me. How could I say no. Even more-so when he asked to see my face, I knew I could trust him, and took off my mask. To this day I'll always remember Timothy Harrison, \"The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man\" and who was far braver than I could ever be.Genius Bruiser: I can talk shop with the likes of Reed Richards and Tony Stark on science all day long. Marvel's official sourcebooks usually list me as being able to bench press 10 tons, and the comics have shown me lifting a lot more in life-or-death situations.Good Is Not Soft: Friendly as I am, and I will not under any circumstance kill another person, no matter how much I might want to, I also won't hold back in a fight, which given I haveSuper Strengthmeans I can make my opponent really hurt.Heel Realization:I'll always regret letting Uncle Ben die, but the realization that I played a part in it was the kick in the ass I needed to grow as a person and learn to use my powers responsibly.In analternate universewhere Ididstop the Burglar, I became an overnight media star while still being embittered over how the world treated me. That made me the most narcissistic, smug and entitledJerkassyou'd ever meet. When Uncle Ben and Aunt May tried to warn me not let the fame go to my head and to focus on my education, I blew them off and cut ties with them. When J. Jonah Jameson revealed my identity and sued me for promotingDaredevilas a vigilante, I threatened his life with a\"Just Joking\" Justificationand used my influence to destroy his career. Jonah's hatred of me became a lot more justified, and he hired a bunch of supervillains to try and kill me. I probably would have been killed without Daredevil's help, and when we defeated the villains I learned that Jameson was behind the attack and why he did it. That was when I realized what a horrible person I'd been in not using my powers responsibly.Heroes Want Redheads: Did I mention how hot my wife is?MJ: Right back at ya,Tiger!Hero with Bad Publicity:Unfortunately, the one and only. Jamesonhatesme with a burning passion so much that he'll badmouth me any chance he gets. He's given me such lovely nicknames as \"The Wall-Crawling Menace\", \"Masked Menace\", and so forth. Hard to believe I work with that guy, to be honest. Though, there was also that one time Cap wouldn't have it and he threatened him with his shield. If there's anyone I can think of that has it worse, it's usually theHulkor the X-Men.Poorguys.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Me and my college roommate Harry Osborn may have not started out on the best footing, but after a while he didn't just become my best friend, but also my family. So when he followed in his dad's footsteps and became the new Green Goblin, and later died in my arms...yeah that really hit me hard.I Let Gwen Stacy Die:I'm not proud of this.Trying to pull back my webbing too fast caused Gwen Stacy to snap her neck.At least I thinkit might have.The fact that the Green Goblin was the one who threw her off the bridge is small comfort, if any.The Lost Lenore: I love Mary Jane more than anything in this universe, or any other one for that matter, but even she reminds from time to time that it's okay that a part of me will always love Gwen Stacy too.Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Do my spider-powers come from the science of the radioactive spider bite, or was I chosen to be some sort of avatar for a mystical spider-entity? The comics suggest that it's a bit of both. My spider-powers have definitely been affected by comic book science to the point of my temporarily losing them, but my encounters with the Great Weaver show that there's definitely a magical side to them too. A shaman pointed out to me that, for me, the Earth revolves around the sun because of astrophysics, while to him it orbits the sun because it was meant to. There's no contradiction between the two.Mr. Fanservice: Sure, I might not be as big as some of my buddies likeCaporThor, but I got a pretty good build, and I'm not entirely immodest about showing it off. I mean, have you seen how tight my suit clings in some areas?My God, What Have I Done?: The guy that killed my Uncle...I could have,NOshouldhave stopped him. I let him go, after catching him in the middle of a burglary, due to my laziness.My Greatest FailureIt was my fault that Uncle Ben died. If only I had stopped the thief, maybe he'd still be alive. To this day, I'm still trying to make him proud.I Let Gwen Stacy Die, and I'm still regretting it to this day. Even if the Goblin was killed, itdidn't make it better.Nephewism: My parents, Richard and Mary, died when I was really youngnoteactually as I found out later they were both agents for SHIELD and died on a missionso I was raised by my Uncle Ben and Aunt May. I consider myselfpretty luckyin that regard.Nice Guy: That \"Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man\" line, I take that seriously. If you need me, I'll be there.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Let's just say that if I'm not quipping at all in a fight, I'm absolutely furious, and anyone I fight needs to run.Passing the Torch:In my Ultimate Universe, a boy namedMiles Moralestook over as Spidey after it was believed I was dead. Apparently I wasn't. But after coming back, and seeing that Miles was a good kid, and was doing a good job in the super hero department, I decided to let him officially take over the mantle, so MJ and I could try and live a normal life.For a while I let my cloneBen Reilytake over the role, while I left to figure out some stuff. Sadly though he died,notedon't worry, he got betterso I had to return to the job.As of 2021, Ben's had to do thisagainwhen he and I were fighting the U-Foes and I got a massive dose of radiation poisoning from X-Ray. He's working for some shady \"Beyond Corporation\" that's trademarked the name \"Spider-Man\" and is sponsoring him for some unclear purpose.In another universe, my daughter May took up my mantle as Spider-Girl, wearing a modified version of Ben's costume. It took me a while to get used to this, but I eventually took to training her myself.Reed Richards Is Useless: I created a spiderweb-like adhesive that would make 3M jealous (aside from continuites where my body produces it), yet I can't make money or such with it.Retired Badass: Even in universes when I'm a bit past my prime, I'm not to be taken lightly. Crazy Eight, the first villainmy daughter Maybusted, ran into me when he was trying to escape police custody. He said that I was barely above a Teletubby when it came to threats. I said he knew how to hurt a guy...and pointed out that I did too when I caught all of his ball bombs and threw them right back in his face.Science Hero: Yes, I'm a science geek and proud of it. I created everything from my basic web formula and a bunch of variant recipes to my web-shooters to my spider-tracers to the anti-magnetic inverter I used the first time I fought the Vulture. I also created a bunch of new devices to help me fight crime when I was working at Horizon Labs. And inmy daughter May's universe, after I hung up my webs I became a police scientist with the NYPD and continued fighting crime that way.Shoo Out the Clowns:I might love quipping and taunting the hell out of any crook or bad guy I come across, but I know when to cool it whenthings get serious. Wolverine made that mistake by saying something inappropriate to MJ andI gave his adamantium behind a brutal beating, all without saying a single word.This also happens to me inCaptain America: Civil WarwhenTony Starksent me away after that awesome fight at the airport.From what I heard, my death viaThanos' snapmade everything all doom and gloom untilScott Langreturned from the Quantum Realm inAvengers: Endgame.Spear Counterpart: I'm this to Gwen Stacy of Earth-65. In that universe, I became its Gwen Stacy when I became the Lizard and was beaten by Gwen unknowingly till I was moments away from death,dying in her arms.Spider-Sense:Oh hey! One good thing I have after me!Yes, it acts as some sort of alert for me. I remember that one time I did not have it and got almost run over by a car because of it.Spider-Man Send-Up:Alright, two for two!JJ's gonna have nightmares of these guys. I seem to inspire a lot of whippy teen superheroes,from a kid with ghost powers who might give Ghost Rider a run for his moneytoa Chinese-French girl who prefers ladybugs over spiderstoa former delinquent taking up the mantle ofBatman.Superpowered Evil Side:InThe Amazing Spider-Manissue 252, I came across thevenom symbiotewhich while it enhanced my powers, took over my body at night to fight crime out of a misguided desire to please me. I quickly got rid of it, though it took over Eddie Brock and turned him into Venom.Creating your own enemies, story of my life. Thankfully we're on much better terms now of days, though I can't say the same for other versions of me.In some universes, the Venom symbiote instead either corrupts you or makes you more aggressive.In a few of my animated appearances, I become a man-spider... it was not pleasant to say the least. Argh... I can still feel the pain even after all that time.Super Strength: Spiders actually have amazing strength for their sizes. Apply that proportion to a human and you have me easily holding back tons.Terror Hero: Hey! Who do you think I am,The Punisher? I'm totally a fun guy! Though I gotta admit scaring the pants off thugs is pretty fun.Thou Shalt Not Kill: I try my best to never end the lives of my enemies even when they try to kill me. I will admit sometimes I almost break this rule but the only time I ever actually killed anybody, it was an accident that traumatizes me still.Took a Level in Kindness: Believe it or not, I was actually something of a hot-headed jerk before getting my powers, and after getting them I wasn't above exploiting them for my own personal gain, as well as getting a revenge against my bullies. Then Uncle Ben died...because of me...Tranquil Fury: I will admit that sometimes I become this. I try to be a goofball to keep my mind off of things but especially when someone hurts my loved ones, I get so angry I can't even keep up the act anymore.True Love is Exceptional: Apparently me and Mary Jane's love was so powerful, that Mephisto wanted to separate us, so he could feed off our misery when we couldn't be together. So as cold as it is, I guess that's comforting to know we had that, before we sold it away.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:I once tangled withtheDark Knight himself.He stood no chance against my webs, but I'll give him an \"A\" for effort.I also traded blowswith somerandom demon guywith alaser swordand I killed him with his own weapon. That's what he gets for kidnapping MJ!He didhave my number in thealternate ending, though. Crap.Vitriolic Best Buds:Sure we may still snark at each other, but even I still can't believe I considerFlash, my childhood bully, among my closest friends.Johnny Storm and I like to josh each other, but if I need help with the super-heroing business, I usually turn to him, cause the Human Torch has always come through for me.Me and Eddie may of not have started off on the best foot but now of days we've gone from uneasy allies to friends. Can you believe he has a son now?Well-Intentioned Extremist: Look I'm not proud of it, but I betrayed Eddie Brock after he helped me stop Carnage, by not turning off the high frequency till he passed out and returning him to prison. I had thought at the time that Venom was just too dangerous to let him stay among people and that he'd go back to seeking revenge on me sooner or later.noteVenom: You know Pete if you had admitted your faults and dropped that grudge sooner we could've buried the hatchet far earlier. Seriously Flash had to call you out multiple times.With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: My personal creed and motto, one I learned after Uncle Ben's death.Depending on the Writer,it's something he said to mein our last conversation,or just not with those exact words.You Fight Like a Cow: A Spidey trademark. It's part of my charm. I like spending most of my fights throwing witty retorts at my enemies. It's partially to humiliate them, partially to keep myself sane in the heat of battle.Welp, looks like there's some sort of commotion around New York City's square, apparently something to do with... errr... I don't know. I'll get to him like every Friday morning for me. Gotta swing out, oh, and don't forget the hyphen between \"Spider\" and \"Man\"!"} {"text": "Image selected per Image Pickin' thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1595450374002265300Please do not replace or remove without starting a new thread.\"Am I not Thanos?! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who forced me into this hell called life? Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day!\"\u2014Thanos,The Infinity Gauntlet#2(For full effect, read in the voice ofJosh Brolin,Isaac C. Singleton Jr., orJim Cummings (1952)).Greetings, Terran.As I have anticipated, you came toTV Tropes, seeking knowledge about Thanos of Titan. How predictable. As you probably have noticed, I implanted several memetic viruses that will make youbrowse through this website, refusing to stop, eat, or sleep until your demise or I find a use for you. But do not despair, as I, Thanos, am not without mercy. To ease your suffering, I will grant your desire andshare my secrets with you. You will know the story of Thanos, the Mad Titan, servant ofMistress Deathand one of the most threatening villains inMarvel Universe, as well as one of the most iconic, comparable perhaps only toDoctor DoomandMagneto.I was born on Titan, moon of planet Saturn, home to the Titans, faction of Eternals that left the Earth thousands of years ago. I was one of two sons of wise ruler Alars, also known as Mentor, and his wife, Sui-San. Unfortunately I was born a mutant, which condemned me with appearance closer to Deviants, the Eternals' sister race and sworn enemies. That made my life miserable, giving others reason to bully me, while my brother, Eros, was loved by all. It was some small mercy that my mutation granted me vast strength and durability, far greater than any of my kin; my ability to wield cosmic energy was likewise second-to-none.Alone and bored, one day, at the age of eight, I killed my first victim. This was the moment that I saw my love, Mistress Death, for the first time. It became my obsession to see her again and I discovered new ways to kill and perfected already known ones, in order to achieve this goal and win her black heart. When it was finally discovered by others, I tried to kill my father and usurp his throne, but I was defeated and forced to exile.For many years I traveled through the Universe, claiming all power within my reach. I had finally returned to Titan after my exile, and let it tastemy nuclear revenge, claiming the lives of all but a bare few Titans; my mother was not one of the survivors.When I had built a base onInsignificant Little Blue Planet, called Earth, my ship was possibly spotted by a human family, which I killed. But my father saved the still living human child and asked the god of time, Chronos, (also our ancestor) to create a weapon to fight me. The girl grew up to become known as Moondragon, and Chronos has reanimated her father into Drax The Destroyer, both of whom became my sworn enemies.It was because of Drax that I encountered heroes of planet Earth for the first time \u2013 when I imprisoned him in my hideout on Earth,Iron Manhas answered his calls for rescue. That was when Jim Starlin introduced me to the fans ofMarvel Comics. In the pages ofIron Manvol. 1 #55 (February, 1973). Since then the name of Thanos, The Mad Titan, has been known and feared among Terran superheroes. It was also Earth that had createdAdam Warlock,one of my greatest enemies and yet perhaps my only true friend, and had acted as a sanctuary for theSilver SurferandCaptain Marvel(notthat one, mind you). It was Mar-Vell who stopped me from claiming the power of theCosmic Cubeand it was he and theAvengerswho stopped me from using the six Soul Gems to destroy all of the stars in the galaxy, as a gift to Mistress Death. And it was Warlock who briefly returned from the death I granted him to slay me in return.I was not dead for long, however (from 1977 to 1990, as your universe measures time; mine, as you may be aware, measures timerather more slowly). I was resurrected by Mistress Death as her thrall, with increased power, on a mission to kill half of the sentient life on the Universe, in order to keep the balance between life and death, which she felt had recently tilted too far in life's direction.Let none say that my mistress is not kind; she sought this goal so that those who remained would live lives that were not haunted by the specters of overpopulation, starvation, and extreme environmental damage. This also guaranteed that some would survive to give her more souls under her power. The imminent universal population crash that she feared would leave none alive to die.However, I did not want to be her mere servant, but equal. I gathered the six Soul Gems again, renaming them the Infinity Gems, as I realized they have the power to grant one omnipotence. Aswielder of such powerhowever, I found myselfsuperiorto Death, who rejected me out of spite for surpassing her, and claimed that showing affection to me would be rising above her station. Driven obsessed to impress her, I used my new Infinity Gauntlet to prove myself worthy of her love and defeating all, who tried to stop me, including the strongest forces in the Universe; even her counterpart, the embodiment of the universe's life force known as Eternity. Alas, she at last openly attacked me, and I was forced to defeat her too. I then usurped Eternity's place as personification of the Universe. It was a fatal mistake on my part, as I gave up my body to do so; I did not pay proper attention to it, and that allowed the Gauntlet to be stolen.After that I gave up my old ways, seeking peace and even aided Adam Warlock againsthis evil and good sides\u2013 Magus and Goddess. For years I have been both hero and villain, there was one incident where I was actually defeated by aTerran girlwhose powers were based oncommunicating witharboreal rodents.Now I know how Von Doom felt.If you wish to live to see your twilight years, you WILL remain silent about this. This part of my life ended with my second death, this time at the hands of Drax, when I joinedAnnihilus in his war against the Universe, just out of intellectual curiosity to see what would happen. I was brought back to life yet again,this time to save Deathfrom threat ofMany-Angled Ones, gods of the corrupted world known as the Cancerverse, where nothing can die. When I managed to kill all life in this Universe, Death\u2014whom I had just saved\u2014rejected me yetagain. Enraged, I then battledNovaandStar-Lordwho sacrificed themselves to keep me in this dying dimension. It was all for nothing and I have returned so after.It hadn't been longbefore my path have crossed with Earth's superheroes yet again. Upon discovery that Avengers had to leave the Earth to battle alien invaders, I've decided to attack the planet and search formy bastard son, Thane, whom I intended to kill. I was however betrayed and imprisoned bythe Illuminattionly to be latter freed by one of them, Namor, and invited to his Cabal - group of individuals he felt are better suited protecting the Universe from threat of Incursions than Illuminati. I've also found time to contemplate other secrets of the Universe, my travels being once again chronicled by Jim Starlin.For those Terrans who prefer live-action to the printed page,another incarnation of mehas appeared in opposition toThe Avengersand theGuardians of the Galaxy. I actually take them on myself in the documentariesAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame.My Mistress Death would not be present in that universe, at least not as a significant factor in my journey; however, as I will expound upon further below,her mission, and her inevitability, were absorbed into that version of me.I also appeared in those terran electronic entertainment devices that you called \"video games\".That particular onemade byCapsule Computeris where you witnessed me at the zenith of my power. The Japanese version of that game however had a secret code to summona Terran witch-child from another universeto challenge me. I also appeared inin the sequel involving the merger of said witch-child's universe and my own. Alas my powers were severely reduced and I was treated as what you terrans say \"a third wheel\" and nary a sign of the witch-child. The indignity of not appearing inthe third mergerwhile someidiotic Terran with delusions of godhood ranting he was superior to allonly fueled my rage.Now that other universe has discovered the Infinity Gems. If Capsule Computer values its existence, theyWILLput me in the fourth merger! It appears they heeded well to my demand. Now Ultron-Sigma, I will show you the true meaning of godhood! And I decided, for a while, to lend my power towhichever Battle Royale participant that could find the Infinity Gauntlet. BecauseIt Amused Me. Also, for a time, my armies stormed the participants' world in search of the six Infinity Stones (as those people called it) and I partook of the effort thereof, gaining strength with every Stone we found. We faced resistance from a team of that world's inhabitants, some wielding weapons belonging to some people who opposed me before...whether we won or not varies with each universe.Notable comics with Thanos:Thanos QuestThe Infinity Saga:The Infinity GauntletThe Infinity WarThe Infinity CrusadeInfinity AbyssMarvel Universe: The EndCelestial QuestThanos(12-issues limited series)AnnihilationThe Thanos ImperativeThanos RisingInfinityThanos: Infinity Revelationgraphic novelThanos vsHulkThanos: Infinity RelativityThanos provides examples of:Affably Evil: I am a merciless destroyer of billions. But that doesn't mean I cannot be civil.A God Am I: As my cinematic counterpart has stated, \"Destiny\" is the equivalent of my own will.Actually a Doombot: Every time Thanos has tasted defeat, it was really just one of my clones. Including that time whenSquirrel Girldefeated one and The Watcher has appeared to confirm it's the real Thanos. My clones are good enough to fool even him.That writerwho claims I'm lying and it was real me who tasted the defeat at her hands does not know what he is talking about. Of course, even he goesback and forth on this...Adaptational Nice Guy: I am normally a proud nihilist who once eradicated half the universe as a tribute to my beloved. And while I was subjected to theGhost Rider'sPenance Stare I enjoyed the sensation from the suffering I wrought onto my victims. I even madeGamora theLast of Her Kind. Inone alternate universe, however, I am what you would call aWell-Intentioned Extremist.I came to the conclusion that the universe would suffer from overpopulation, environmental damage, and wars for resources unless something was done. Thus I committed many atrocities for the sake of the universe's survival, including killing half of my daughter's race. The fact thatthis sounds more like the intentions of my beloved Deathdoes put a smile on my face.All Love Is Unrequited: Everything I have done was done in the name of my beloved Mistress Death, and in spite of all that she gives her love and affection to a warped mound of flesh with two legs who doesn't know how toSHUT UP!And I Must Scream: After I was resurrected, the only reason I didn't kill theGuardians of the Galaxyin the first place was because Rocket Raccoon threatened me with eternal life and separation from death.Anti-Villain: On my more peaceful days, I may blur the lines of aNoble Demon. However, even then I have singlehandedly razed planets full of warriors to the ground for sport. On my less peaceful days, including after returning from death in the Cancerverse, I am aDystopia Justifies the Means,Omnicidal Maniac, and moral nihilist, who was born in paradise, started by razing and pillaging it and other inhabited planets to the ground, and only got worse from there.Arch-Enemy: For Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, Captain Marvel and, sometimes, Adam Warlock. Possibly theSilver Surfertoo, though he has learned well not to cross paths with me, and I have proven to be such a dangerous entity that many consider me to be this to the entire Marvel Universe...fortunately for you all, though, my trueArch-Enemyismyself.Mycinematic incarnationhas earned the ire ofIron Manin particularnoteas I had made my debut in his line of ventures, dubbing me as a \"curse\" which has plagued him and all Terrans across Earth due tomy army's assault on its civilization,and what it eventually amounted to. InAvengers: Infinity War, I had long since grown aware of his efforts to thwart my plans, even stating to him that the two of us are cursed with knowledge.Badass Boast: \"You address omnipotence. Tread carefully.\"Battle Rapping: I onceengaged in a verbal contest of rhyming verseagainsta Terran scientistwhose reputation as a brilliant mind with great capacity for destruction matches my own.Big Bad: I am one of the most infamous villains in the Marvel universe compared by only Doctor Doom and Magneto as stated above. I had the Infinity Gauntlet and used it to nearly wipe out most life in the universe that forced all of the heroes and villains to team up against me.Big, Screwed-Up Family: My father, Mentor, raised Heather Douglas, otherwise known as Moondragon, the daughter of my eternal pursuer Drax.Blasphemous Boast: In my battle with Odin, he boasted about how my power acquired through science was nothing next to the might of a god. I responded that god is nothing more than a label, power is power, regardless of its source.Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: Both my doppleganger, and Ahkenaten became butterflies after I slew them.The Cameo:InThe Avengers, I'm revealed as theleader of the Chitauri army. I would later play a slightly larger role inGuardians of the Galaxyas theGreater-Scope Villainbehind Ronan and Nebula.Cassandra Truth:Galactusonce sought to claim the Infinity Gems to remove the Cosmic Hunger that drove him to devour worlds, but at that time there was a universal parasite called the Hunger that was planned use the assembled gems to enter our universe to devour it. I tried to warn Galactus that he was putting the universe in danger but due to my past actions he didn't listen.The Chessmaster:I've been doing this quite well throughout the MCU films. However, that blastedAsgardianmay be onto me.Curb-Stomp Battle: My debut appearance had easily bestThe ThingandThe Mighty Thor.When I assembled the Infinity GemsI defeat all who came to face me. The heroes might have managed to take the Infinity Gauntlet from me but that conciet foolDoctor Doombotched the one chance they had by trying to take it for himself. After they faced him, the universe' cosmic entities tried their hand, and they failed as well.AgainstBlack Bolt. Hismighty screamis normally enough to best any opponent. It took it three consequentive times and all it did wasdestroy my costume.I dealt another to Thor inInfinity. He through his lightning at me, and I dared him to keep attacking before asking that his limit. When he attempted to strike me with his hammer I struck him down where he stood.Death Is Cheap: Sadly, I have come back from the realm of my beloved twice. One can not stay dead if she needs him alive.Death Seeker: I will find a way to be once again with Mistress Death and nothing will stop me from it. The last time I came back to life, I thanked Drax the Destroyer for killing me. You cannot begin to fathom the depths of my pain at being continuously denied the peace I seek.Determinator: Thanos does not yeild. When I battled Odin, even as he took the upper hand I refused to surrender.The Dreaded: All beings fear Thanos, whether mortal or god. And rightly so.Enemy Mine: Several times have I allied myself with my foes against common threats.Enemies with Death: Who is one, has an enemy in myself.Many-AngledOneshave discovered this the hard way. So did Death-God Walker, who desired to take her role.Energy Absorption: A trait common to all the Eternals of Titan, placing us above the Eternals of other worlds. I, however, have mastered this power to a level beyond that of even my kin.Enfant Terrible: My father has had aslight mental breakdown, and believes that as a child I slaughtered and dissected my mother, although this in no way fits into my previously established life history (though this has not stopped me from boasting of it).Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: My dear Sui-San. Even when she tried to kill me when I was born, I will never forget her place in my life, even if she was clinically insane and even before I killed her.Even Evil Has Standards: I make no excuse of my slaughter of countless beings across the universe and beyond, but I always do so with apurpose, namely to please my sweet Mistress Death. Perhaps because of this, I find those that kill simply for the sake of it (especially on a scale rivalling my own) to be deplorable. Similarly, I am against the destruction of reality and am not above allying myself with others if I feel it necessary.Evil Genius: I have mastered every science in the universe from an early age, and have centuries of experience dabbling in the occult. In addition, I am a strategist on a level that not even the Grandmaster, an immortal Elder of the Universe who devoted his life to strategy and games, can compete with (as he learned to his cost), to say nothing of my mastery of the combat. One of my lesser achievement was unlocking the DNA of Galactus, a cosmic entity, and making a hybrid clone of he and myself, just to show that I could. What mind can compare to the mind ofThanos?Evil Parents Want Good Kids: While I am not her biological father, I am the nearest Gamora has had to a parent since rescuing her from the destruction of her world, and by and large I do not grudge her the choices she has made in life.Evil Plan: I only seek to impress Mistress Death and earn her affection. This has lead me to plot wide spread destruction on many an occasion.Eviler than Thou: After gathering the Infinity Gems, I was this all challengers. That conceited foolDoctor Doomjoined the heroes who came to face me.They might have actually stolen my gauntlet if Doom hadn't tried to take it for himself, ruining the attempt. He would pay for that mistake with his life. In the same event,Mephistoturned on me when the Abstracts came to face me. That arrogant fool thought I wouldn't anticipate his betrayal. He was wrong. Mistress Death even turned on me and I defeated her as well.Eye Beams: One of the most potent ways I channel cosmic energy; not evenThe ThingorThe Mighty Thorcan withstand them.Face Death with Dignity: In the climax ofEndgameafter Stark steals the Infinity Gems from me and uses their power to erase my army from the universe, I quietly accepted my fate and watched as my forces vanished around me before I too vanished from existence. In hindsight, my beloved might be awaiting me on the other side. So thank you, Stark.Fairy Companion: For some time I have been tolerating the presence of Skreet The Chaos Mite, who has been serving me as this. We parted our ways once I had been killed by Drax. Fortunate for her, as even Thanos can only withstand her strange behavior for so long.Fatal Flaw: Thanos has no flaws! However, my victories do seem to be tainted by what lesser being would define as self-defeatism.For the Evulz:I had once orchestrated a situation where my brother has been held for trial, and sent my clone with modified memories to convince everybody it was he who made me fall in love with Death, thus making him responsible for all my crimes.She-Hulktraveled into the clone's mind to discover it was a lie and that I did all of it not because of revenge, but for pure entertainment.Once, I destroyed a single flower, the last of its kind, to destroy the hope of those that worshiped it.Friendly Enemy:Time and time again, Adam Warlock has thwarted my plans...nevertheless, he is perhaps the only friend I have.I did once thank Drax for his attempt to kill me, however temporary the results.Genius Bruiser: No other mind can match my intelligence, nor any other body match my strength.Hand Blast: My other form of attack with cosmic energy, most often fired from a closed fist.Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door: I will ally myself with and consider myself both a force of good and evil, depending on the situation and my mood.Hero Killer: While many have come back, I have killed many of your so-called defenders,includingWar Machine.During the cinematicInfinity War,as I eradicated the Universe of half its life with a snap of my fingers, some of my adversaries were among them as well.Infinity +1 Sword: InMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. I cannot be unlocked until the player beats the game. I am at Level 80, possess high stats (tying with the Hulk for highest strength), high stat growth, and I'm tied with Phoenix for the mastery. Sadly I am not top tier material due to my less than impressive attacks, simplistic abilities, and poor synergy with other team members. This can be remedied by DLC where you can unlock a version of me that possesses the Infinity Gauntlet with all six gems, granting an array of powerful area of effect attacks.Irony: In relation to the aboveas I made Deadpool immortal, so did Death made me. Temporarily.Joker Immunity: No matter how much I might wish it, I am continuously denied the release I so highly desire.Large Ham: Even by my presence alone, I invoke such a bombastic stance.Macguffin: My attentions were first drawn to Earth by one of the Cosmic Cubes, which I desired for my own purpose. Since then, I have also dealt with other similar items, such as the fabled Infinity Gems.Mad Scientist: To those lesser minds who call me \"The Mad Titan\". My scientific acumen, of course, is second to none. The mind of Thanos is his greatest weapon.The Man Behind the Man: When it has suited me, I have granted patronage to others. Why? My reasoning is my own, and beyond your understanding.Mighty Glacier: I am not the fastest or most agile combatant in the cosmos...but few can hit as hard, and even fewer can withstand blows as well. Thor's own father, Odin, was unable to keep me down in our battle.Murder the Hypotenuse: Iinvertedthis when I made Deadpool immortal to prevent him from taking my beloved Death.Deadpool:That's right! Near-godlike powers, and what does he use them for? ACOCKBLOCK!Thanos:WHO ALLOWED YOU TO VIOLATE THE SANCTITY OF MY PAGE?! Begone, worm.Deadpool:Or what? You'll make me evenmorealive?Names to Run Away from Really Fast: My name is Greek for 'death'.New Powers as the Plot Demands: I'm not nearly as bad as magic based characters by I displayed some newer powers over the years, which writers often forget about. I have displayedTelepathymost often, but also matter manipulation, creating objects, healing others.\"Not So Different\" Remark: In discussion with that egotistical insect Annihilus, we realised we both have... \"common ground\". However, even Thanos draws the line at destroying all that lives.Offing the Offspring:That foolish pirate Nebula claimed to be the granddaughter of Thanos. My response was succinct and swift.I have apparently had a great many offspring, whom I have killed, with only one left, imaginatively named Thane, the child of an unknown Inhuman female.Omnicidal Maniac: On my days as wielder of the Infinity Gauntlet and prior to them.Orcus on His Throne:Throughout the majority of the MCU films, I have been manipulating others in my quest to get the Infinity Stones. At the end ofAvengers: Age of Ultron, however, I decided it was time to get involved personally - even though it took three of your years to witness my plan coming to fruition.Papa Wolf: I rarely show this side of myself, but in truth, Gamora brings this out in me. This is particularly true for my time in her youth; I recall one such story in which I sent her on a mission to test her skill. Unfortunately, she was not as ready as I had originally thought and she was imprisoned. Details of the event shall be omitted here, but know thatthey defiled her in ways that cannot be undone.I freely admit I took great joy in destroying the lives of those involved upon hearing of this.Pet the Dog: I must confess to some fondness for my adopted daughter, Gamora. Even when she has tried to kill me on occasion.Physical God: When I had took the power of the Cosmic Cube, and then later the Infinity Gauntlet. it was what I had become. And once again, when I tried to become All-Father of my own pantheon.Sitcom Archnemesis: We must whisper, for I fear that loathsome pile of cancer-ridden cells is listening, but he and I certainly fall into this category, especially during ourLove Trianglewith my sweet lady Death. He may have won it, but I ensured she be as out of reach to him as she is to me.Deadpool:I canhear you!Oh, hey, you are so right, we do fit this category! Just like inThe Officewhere Dwight CURSED EVERYONE WITH IMMORTALITY so they couldn't bang the hot skeleton babe! Love that episode!Thanos:YOU REMAIN HERE?!! BEGONE!!!And do not speak of her again, wretch!Deadpool:Ah, don't let his Shakespearean vocab fool you, he's really quite a softy!Thanos:LIES! I am hardened beyond your recognition.Deadpool:So am I!Wait, you're talking about density...Thanos:Be. Gone. And take your depravity with you.SNK Boss: InMarvel Super Heroes, I am theFinal Bossand I possess the Infinity Gauntlet so I am the best character in the game. Developers no doubt feltMagnetowas too hard inX-Men: Children of the Atomso I am less powerful than he in that game but I am still formidable. My special attacks are unimpressive, what you should fear are my normal moves, two of which are projectiles that reach across the screen that I can use over and over while they rapidly build up my Super Gauge and allow me to use one of my six super moves against you. These include powerful attacks, along with the ability to slow you down and reverse your controls. The fight also starts with me taking the Infinity Gems the player had been gathering throughout the arcade mode. I don't have an affinity with the gems granting special power ups like normal characters but I also only drop gems if I am hit with super move. After losing a gem the AI version of me will stop using the corresponding super move, butI merely do this to add some sense of story authenticity to the game, when in the player's hands you will find don't gems to use my super moves.Straw Nihilist: For years I was a nihilist, until abandoning this philosophy.Super Strength: I have facedThe Mighty Thor, andThe Blue-eyed Thingin battleat the same time, and came out triumphant! On another occasion Thor came out triumphant, but as usual my sycophantic thrallJim Starlintried to retcon it into a powerful clone.Thanatos Gambit: My ultimate plan ends with my own death so I may be with my beloved mistress.Together in Death: AfterAnnihilation, I finally had a chance to be together, forever, with Death. But Fate, and that sanctimonious fool Adam Warlock, had other plans.\u00dcbermensch: No creature in the universe can compare to me.Unexplained Recovery: As to how I escaped from a collapsing, dying universe with no possibility of escape... I am Thanos. You should do well to remember that. It was eventually addressed inOriginal Sin.Unholy Matrimony: As ofThe Unworthy Thor #5, I have entered a relationship withHelato help regain Hel in exchange for everything I've wanted.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:Recently,I had challenged the New GodDarkseid. After Deadpool stole and tried to sell my throne to Darkseid, we engaged in a battle for the ages. Our clash ended up destroying everything and anything in our wake.Unfortunately, I was not successful, since I was unaware of the nature of Darkseid's true form. Due to his true form existing outside the multiverse, it rendered the infinity gauntlet useless. Darkseid paid me back in kind by infecting me with the Omega Sanction, forcing me to live a series of lives each more soul-crushing than the rest. Needless to say, I will be more careful once I escape this hell.Unstoppable Rage: After my latest resurrection, I was so enraged as to sunder a whole planet, the homeworld of the Church of Universal Truth, in but a few hours. Regrettably, my faculties were impaired by the sheer level of rage I felt at being separated from my lady Death, and full recovery of my composure took some time.Villain Ball: Several times I had suffered from this at the verge of absolute victory. As Adam Warlock theorized, I had let myself be defeated, because subconsciously I had not found myself worthy of the absolute power I tried to claim.Who Wants to Live Forever?: Certainly not I, who desires nothing more than to die and reunite with my beloved.Worthy Opponent: While none are above me in terms of strength or intellect, I am not above commending those who have proven themselves to me. I am surprised by the Terrans of my universe, for many of them, despite their primitive minds and frail bodies, have accomplished things that far exceed that of other more advanced races.Mymovie incarnationgrew to have a genuine respect forTony Stark.I also grant that out of all the Terrans who fought me,Doctor Strangewas the most gifted and I admired his tenacity. Evenmy daughter's boyfriendhad the courage to end her (per her request) which I found admirable.My original run inInfinity Warhad Captain America stand against me. It was very brave of him. Foolish, of course, but his bravery has not been forgotten.Adam Warlock is not only a very praiseworthy adversary, but he's also a good friend.Xanatos Speed Chess: I have done this on oft occasions, in varying ways.A change of alignment,or perhaps betrayalto achieve my goals - even if it doesn't go accordingly, I normally achieve what I want.Again, insects, you ask what am I?What I am is angry.What I am is insane with rage.What I am is...Thanos."} {"text": "Richard Armitage's voice.)Hmmm. It looks likethe Hulk,Magnetoandthat fourth-wall breakin' clownalready have their own pages, soin fine Wolverine tradition, it's about time I got my own. But ya better not waste my time, or else you cango fuck yourself.You've probably heard of me, bub \u2014 I'm the Wolverine. Or you can call me Logan. And if ya know me, you'd know that I'm the best at what I do. And what I do \u2014*SNIKT*\u2014 isn't very nice.I first showed up inThe Incredible Hulk#180 (October, 1974), where the government sent me to track down and kill the big green bastard, until the two of us both teamed up to fight the Wendigo. After that, I joined theX-Men,Alpha Flight,The Avengers, andpretty much every other team in the Marvel universe, but went on solo missions as well. Yup, I'm pretty much theGeorge Harrisonof supers. ThoughFury\u2014 sorry \u2014Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.Dsays I'm more of aPaul.You probably know me best for my role as one of the X-Men (and now asthe guy in charge of their school), myrazor-sharp claws, myHealing Factor, myberserker rages,mygloriouschest hair, andbein' damn near everywhere in the Marvel U. Heh. After all, not many heroes can claim to be as badass as me \u2014 who else would run into a fight withthe Hulkor even the Juggernaut without even breakin' a sweat?Yer probably wonderin' about my origin story, but I don't remember much. Those assholes from thathorrifyingWeapon X program messed with my brain, so I can't actually remember what happened before then. Ya better read up onOrigin,Weapon Xand the like.note(In a nutshell: Wolverine was born James Howlett in Alberta,Canada, and grew his bone claws after being forced to kill his groundskeeper, who in turn had killed his father. He then adopted the name \"Logan\", living in the wilderness and going on with his life, until he was captured by the Canadian government as part of their \"Weapon X\" program, at which point he was brainwashed and given his adamantium skeleton. He escaped, and the rest is history.)I've also appeared ina bunchacartoonsferkids(anda fewferadults), as well as theX-Men Film Seriesmade by Fox where I was played byHugh Jackman. Though he would betoo tall, pretty, andAustralianto play me in movies, his portrayaldidbecome one of the best-known and widely praised superhero portrayals to hit the big screen, so I don't blame him. But due toDisneybuying20th Century Fox, ya prolly might see me duke it out withthe Hulk or Thoron the big screen any time soon. However, it's worth considerin' thatya don't have tabe Disneyto put outa good moviestarrin' me. Plus, I got a beef with that Perlmutter guy in charge of Marvel, since he's breakin'traditionand denyin' me all sorts of appearances just 'cuz he isn't gettin' along well with Fox. Bastardkilled me offtoo. Still, closest thing I got to a daughtertook up the mantle,so there's that at least.Then they decided to bring me back to the game and give me fire claws.And then there's the video games.Quite surprisingly, I've been in everyMarvel vs. Capcomuntil recently, appearing in even more games in th' series thanSpidey. In vanillaMarvel vs. Capcom 3, I'm the best at what I do, and what I do iswin tourneysand piss off everyone who wants ta play as Hsien-Ko or their other favorite. But ya prolly knew that, huh. (Thoughpossessed-Jeandoes amuchbetter job at pissin' off all the tourney players.) Oh, and ya may have noticed, but they made my newest theme song,which is really just an update of my old one, sound like a flippinPower Rangerstheme song. However, Marvel decided that in their latest handshake with Capcom that they only want to invite the heroes that play nice with the MCU. The fans are hoping Perlmutter get off his high horse and put me in thenewest entry, but considering thatthatgame has been out for a year with no updates or even mentions by Capcom, looks like that ship has sailed.noteInviting T'Challa in my place was a nice try, Capcom, but there's no substitute for The Wolverine, no matter how many of my \"Functions\" you slap on him...On the bright side, the minds atInsomniacare finally giving me my own solo game set in a universe inhabited byol' Web-Headand hiscrime-fighting buddy in black.Would ya lookit that? Looks like a tons more pages with some familiar faces popped up, let's see what we got:Again, 'like I said earlier,Wade'salready got his own page. When is he gonna learn ta'shut. The hell. Up.Ugh,tin facegot his own page as well. If the Fantastic Four won't deal with him.I will.Goldilock's bro? Looks like I'm gonna have ta letblondieknow that his brother's in town and that I'm gonna deal with him my way.Thanos?! Ah shit. Him again. As long as he's not blowin' up planets and Mistress Death is keepin' him at bay, we should be good.Shulkie'sfinally got her own page? Good for her!Aw, crap. Nowthat purple creep'sgot one too. 'Probably told someone to make it.There used to be one forthe ol' Web-Head,but it just didn't really stand out. Apparently all those stupid jokes (just not as stupid as Wade's) weren't enough. Now it'sback again.T'Challa'sgot one as well. Sorry 'bout the Phoenix ruining your marriage with 'Roro.That gunslinging, sword-swinging devil hunter's here too? Nice of him that he settled some family issues. Wish I could I say th' same for mine...That nosy lawyergot his own page too, He\u2019s no Shulkie orMurdockbut he usually gets results.Wait,that tin cangot one too? Cripes. You fight the guy once, and he suddenly thinks he's hot stuff. Woulda' liked ta' go one last round with that bub.And nowthat loudmouth from the Buglehas one too... Well, as much of a pain in th' ass he can be ta' anyone besides Web-head,it's not really mutants that he has it out for.Wolverine provides examples of the following tropes:'90s Anti-Hero: While I was created durin'The Bronze Age of Comic Books, I fit right in durin'The '90ssince everyone went crazy fordarker and grittierheroes. My best-known costume (in the image above) came from then.Absurdly Sharp Blade: Those things stickin' out of my hands.Abusive Parents: Turned out I wasn't too far off the mark when I thought my Ma was a 'goat-headed, misshapen, walleyed witch', an' the less said about mybiologicalfather, the better.The Ace: Do I have to remind you that I'm the best there is at what I do?Broken Ace: Though I admit getting there has left me with some... issues.Adaptational Attractiveness: Myanimecounterpart. There wer' some fan-boys complaining about it, without seeing my show yet. Eh, screw' em. My looks didn't stop me from taking names and kickin' ass.Hugh Jackmantoo, if you think about it.The Alcoholic: I love beer. An' my healin' factor keeps me from gettin' drunk unless I drink alotof it. And I usually do. Helps that the healing cancels out the liver damage too.Alternate Company Equivalent: They say that guy Lobo was supposed to be a parody of me, what with his name meanin' \"wolf\" and him bein' based off the idea of a'90s Anti-Hero. There's a reason we fought inthat one crossover...Always Someone Better: For a time, anyway, I never did win in a straight up fight with Sabertooth. Things changed.Ascended Extra/Breakout Character: I was originally intended to be some one-shot enemy for the Hulk before I joined the X-Men, and around the 80s, I became their most popular character and got featured all over the damn place to the point where a decent chunk of readers felt writers overused me.Animal-Themed Superbeing: For some time I even wore brown and tan to get closer to a wolverine.Antagonistic Offspring: Kind of a theme with me. I guess I should be lucky theMC2writers gave me a baby girl whodoesn'thave these issues (an' they had me shack up withElektra, mind).My son,Daken, hates my guts. He's aManipulative Bastardandsociopathwho embraces what I'm tryin' to put behind me. I can't really blame him: His mother was killed when she was still pregnant an' I didn't even know he survived. Afterwards, he was raised by some real nasty people. I wish I could've done somethin' to make things right, but it doesn't look like there's a way to get through to him. 'specially not when he throws his lot in with Creedor Warren's kids.InBattle of the Atom,Raze is apparently my kid with Mystique from the future, and he wants to kill me, too. Damn.For a time, in theUltimate Marveluniverse, Sabertooth was convinced that he was my son, and he wanted me dead for not being there for him.About the one kid in the main universe I have anything approaching a healthy relationship with isLaura. And even then the first time we met she tried to kill me, though I was able to talk her down. Other'n her, you might say that Jimmy Hudson kid is another aversion (even though we've yet to formally meet). I mean, he's got a good head on his shoulders from having been raised better than the others - and even then I didn't have a hand on that, but considering how much of an asshole Ultimate Me was, it was prob'ly for the best.Annoying Arrows: Once, when I needed to protect a kid from a bunch of archers, I took the the hit from the arrows they fired. I lived, but damn did it hurt.That also happened inone o' my movies, where Harada an' his boys turned me into a human pincushion.Anti-Hero: Probablyone of the premier examplesin superhero comics,period\u2014 with the other X-Men, killing is a last resort, but with me, it's second nature. Though in current comics,I'm not quite as rough as I used t'be. I've actually bounced all over the place in this regard.Arch-Enemy: Victor Creed, who goes by the name Sabretooth. We were together in the Weapon X project, but neither of us could stand each other. We're more alike than I like to admit, but at least I got a sense of decency. Creed was a monster even before the project. He's a damn smart son of a bitch, too, and he makes a hobby of makin' my life a livin' hell. He especially loveskillin' the women in my life. I've killed him a time or two, but the bastard keeps comin' back.Archnemesis Dad:Around the 90s, Sabertooth wasn't just myArch-Enemy- he claimed he was my dad.Damn glad it turned out he was just lying... although there'sactually one universewhere he reallywasmy old man. He even was genuinely upset when I got killed off there, which is creepy on way too many levels.Dakenthinks of me as this, despite knowing I didn't intentionally abandon him.Audible Sharpness: The iconic *snikt!* of my claws popping out.Back from the Dead:Marvel Legacysaw me come back from th' dead.Badass Biker: Yup. I'm probably the most famous biker in comics, barringol' Skullhead.Badbutt: Whenever I appear in all-ages or kids' comics or cartoons, they make me rarely use my claws, at least not on living things, so as to not shed any bloodnotethis caused my confronting the Hulk inHulk Vs.to go from an even fight to him flattening me inWolverine and the X-Men (2009)since I wasn't allowed to stab him, don't let me smoke or drink, and evenmake me wear a helmet while ridin' myCool Bike\u2014 y'know,even though I can heal off any damage. ApparentlyFrankhas to deal with the same kinda crap. The whole \"no claws against living beings\" thing was surprisingly averted (somewhat) inthis scenefromThe Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, not that I'm complainin'.Bash Brothers: At first I was this with Colossus, but I become this with most anybody at any time.Battle Rapping:I once rap battled againstsome dream demon with claws almost like mine. Guess the punk wasn't used to victims who can fight back and ain't afraid of his cheap scare tactics.The Bear: While I'm a fairlystraightexample, apparently the version of me fromX-Treme X-Menis some sorta flamin'... well,bear\u2014 and just as hairy, too.note\"Homo\" is a politically incorrect slur, it's probably how someone with me personality would say it, and (hopefully) not how any of those readin' would \u2014 though not me myself, 'cuz since Marvel has standards,Ihave standards too. If you see me out of the black outfit, please try ta keep such thoughts to yerself.Because I'm Good At It: I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I doisn't very nice.The Big Guy:I might be barely five feet an' all,but ya better believe I got all the rest of this one covered.Blessed with Suck: My powers all have have drawbacks:Those claws that I use all time and everybody thinks are so cool? Those things popping out of the inside of my handsHURTS,A LOT! I can endure the pain, but without myHealing FactorI'd have to bandage my hand every time I used them to avoid bleeding to death.noteI did have sheathes installed in my arms that prevented this problem for a time, but it was ultimately dropped; apparently, it was more dramatic to have close-ups of my knuckles dripping blood after I popped them.]Myadamantiumbones actually slow down myHealing Factorbecause it's constantly working to keep the metal from poisoning me.I have super senses, but the level they're out would drive any normal person insane if they had to put up with not being able to turn them off, ever.Blood Knight: I admit, I love bein' able to cut loose. Literally. Out of all the X-Men, I'm usually the one most willin' to do the really dirty work.Body Horror: The adamantium being added to my skeleton was the stuff of nightmares. Also, when Magneto once tore it outta me.Not even touching on the crappy alternate universe where I didnt have my healing factor and the adamantium was literally making me rot from the inside out. I've seen a lot of bad shit in my life, but damn, there are limits...Canadian Equals Hockey Fan: You get between me and a game and we're gonna have some words, bub...Catchphrase: Just read my intro above. If ya don't know what it is by now, ya must've been livin' under a rock for the past 40 years.note\"I'm the best there is at what I do. And what I do isn't very nice.\"Cigar Chomper: Kids, smokin' is bad, but not if you can just heal off the lung damage. This used to be a favorite hobby of mine, until the '90s when I just decided to give it up. Even so, I do occasionally light up in theX-Menmovies.Cruel Mercy: Not normally my thing, but Matsu'o Tsurayaba, one of the leaders of The Hand, found himself on the recieving end of this after he murdered my Mariko. Rather than just outright killing him, I cut off his arm, but left him alive... only to return once a year on the anniversery of Mariko's death to carve off another of the bastards body parts, no matter how he tried to run or hide. By the end, he had lost his arm, his ear, his nose and his gallbladder, and had resorted to writing me a latter asking for permission to kill himself.Dark and Troubled Past: You don't know the half of it. Even I probably don't know the half of it since some of the few memories I do have of it, which are horrid, sometimes turn out to not even be real.Determinator: I don't quit. Even it's against Hulk or Magneto.Evil Counterpart: Sabertooth is either this or afoilto me. We got the same basic power set, but I try to tame my bestial side; herevelsin it. The resemblance is close enough that he's even tried to find redemption on the X-men in a couple of universes, or at least been brought onto the team as a crazier, more distrusted version of me. In atleast a few universes, he's either my brother or my father, I honestly try not to think about it too hard.Flipping the Bird: Sometimes, I get the urge to give friend and foe alike the middle claw.Up yours, bub.Genius Bruiser: Well, if you've been around for over a hundred years havin' to deal with all sorts of threats,you'd better be!Sure I may not know the advanced science stuff like Stark, Richards, Chuck & Hank, even Banner do but that's their thing. I go for the practical stuff.Gone Horribly Right: Here's a fun fact for ya, bub: I wasn't born with my adamantium skeleton. It was only after the Canadian government captured me and tried to turn me into a mindless living weapon. But instead, they ended up with the Wolverine you know and love, stronger than ever before, and I was royallypissed,so I went and slaughtered those soulless monsters one by one\u2014 they had it comin'.The rampage was actuallyAll Just a Dream, but my hatred for them was as real as ever. So I went on the same rampage again \u2014 fer real this time.Good is Not Nice: I may be on superhero teams tryin' to save the world, but that don't mean I gotta be nice about it.Heroes Want Redheads: If ya know me, you'd know I always go for red-haired women, especially Jean Grey. But why did she have to go forScottinstead...?noteAnd then, in thatone universe, she was going to dump him for me... but I got killed off! Story of my life.Healing Factor: I'm widely seen as theTrope Codifier. I didn't have this when I first appeared; the writers added it in later they realized they needed to explain why having metal bones didn't kill me. The exact limits of it are areinconsistent,depending on what the different writers want, or even between the same writers. Some of thecrazier fanboy writershave presented me as virtually immortal, even though I've died in the past and alternate timelines,Days of Future Pastbeing one of the most famous. The usual limitation is that I can heal from injuries to my vital organs, but I can still be killed if somethin' strong enough tries to strangle me and cuts the air off from my lungs.Recently, I contracted an intelligent virus from theMicroverse, which disabled my ability to heal. The virus offered to give it back if I helped it escapeS.H.I.E.L.D.'s attempts to eradicate it, but no way was I lettin' it get away. Now the virus is gone, but unfortunately, looked like my healing factor's gone with it, and for good this time. However, with my resurrection, it's also back.Hell-Bent for Leather: What can I say, I look good in that jacket. Andthe bodysuits from the movies.Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: One of the most common ways I kill, though I've also been on the receivin' end a lot.Implacable Man: I've got a virtually unbreakable skeleton, aHealing Factorthat makes me very hard to kill, a keen sense of smell, and I'm very stubborn. Just pray I'm never chasingyou.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I'll admit that I ain't the nicest guy around, but I try to do the right thing regardless.The Lancer: My most common role on a team.Multiple-Choice Past: I had this going for well over ten years before the writers could decide on my backstory. Heck, at one time, it was even hinted I was anactualwolverine turned into a human by the High Evolutionary. Thank Christ that didn't turn out to be true.My Suit Is Also Super: Averted, I frequently suffer fromClothing Damageregardless of what I'm wearing.Although when my healing factor's gone, in my last solo series I'd taken to wearing a suit of special armor to make up the difference, though it ain't on the same level asStark's.The Nicknamer: You might have noticed I have mocking names for just about anyone, bub. My boss is even annoyed that I prefer to call him Chuck.The Nose Knows: I can sniff anything overly suspicious. Fer example, this helped me sniff out when people were possessed by microscopic parasites from th' Nanoverse, includin' Fury.Odd Friendship: Quite a few, given how I'm not the friendly type.One my closest friends is Nightcrawler, even though me and elf are almost exact opposites.My relationship with Storm. Heck, in some 'verses, we're even lovers.Slowly getting into on withThorandHercules, even though Ireallydon't want to with the latter.I can, sometimes, be friendly withWade.Offing the Offspring: It wasn't my choice, dammit! But, some of the blood on my hands? It's family.I had to put my murdering psycho son Daken down.One time, some enemies of mine gathered up a bunch of illegitimate kids I'd never known I had and goaded them into a death fight with me. I didn't learn who they were until it was too late.Opposite-Sex Clone: Turns out some civilian science project tried to follow up on Weapon X with samples of my DNA, but it was too badly damaged to make another me. So they made a girl instead.Laura Kinneywas the result, and if you can believe it, the things done to the poor kid may be evenworsethan what was done to me. She's got the same healin' factor and claws as me, but fortunately for her,she didn't inherit my ugly mug. Her mother asked me to help, but by the time I got there, the base where she was bred had been destroyed (don't that sound familiar?), and the kid's scent had gone cold. Took a couple years before I could finally track her down and bring her in to get the help she needed. She's technically my sister, but our relationship is more like father and daughter. I ain't exactly the best at it (not like that's a surprise if you've met myson), but I try to do right by her because I'm all she's got, and even made it official by adoptin' her.Papa Wolf: Specially when it comes toKittyand Jubilee, but young girls in general bring this out in me. Do anything to hurt them and you've gotmeto worry about, bub.Popularity Power: I won't deny that I've benefited from this. Aside from writers going crazy with myHealing Factormentioned above, the most infamous case is withMarvel Versus DCin my fight with Lobo where the victory was determined by popular vote, and I got the majority, except really I shouldn't have won. I didn't have my adamantium claws at the time, and even if I did, I was up against somebody with aHealing Factorthat puts mine to shame and is strong enough ta' go head ta' head with theMan o' Steelhimself. Even the writers couldn't figure out a way to pull this off and had the fight occur off-panel. Years later, we got aHand Wavethat he let me win 'cause supposedly Chuck paid him to take a dive.Really Gets Around: Bub, I've been around since the19th century, and by \"been around\" Imean\"been around\". An entire plotline in the comics centered around a villain gathering up as many of my unknown illegitimate children as I could find and sending them to attack me so I would kill them all as part of a revenge plot to screw with my head. If there's anyone who can beatMurdockandStarkon this, that's me.Required Secondary Powers: This is actually where myHealing Factorcame from. I had the adamentium skeleton when I first appeared, but writers realized they needed to come up with a reason as to why having metal bonded to my bones didn't kill me.Shell-Shocked Veteran: I've seen a lot of things in my time, and they weren't pretty. While I can often cope with my memories, the mental pain I sometimes suffer is worse than anything physical I've ever been through.Super Drowning Skills: One of the few things that can kill me. Even more once they coated me in adamantium, as the extra weight makes me not buoyant - I sink like a rock.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: So apparently in one in one of them web shows wheretwo character fight to the death, I was pitted up against some girlish-looking weirdo named Raiden from some video game series calledMetal Gear, or whatever the name of it was.Sadly, yours truly lost in said fight. The kid's got guts, I'll give em' that. Rest assured, next time around, it won't be so easy! Bet on that, bub!Verbal Tic: Take a wild guess,bub.Wolverine Claws: I'm the freakin'Trope Namer, for cryin' out loud! Though I ended upunbuildin'the damn thing, too. See, these little beauties break my skin every time Isnikt'em, and the healin' factor's the only thing that makes 'em practical to use. Otherwise, I'd just have six open wounds on my knuckles all the time. And in case ya can't guess, that ain't too practical, bub.Wolverine Publicity: TheTrope Namer. I'm not the first example Marvel used, but I'm the most well-known, for better and for worse.Wolverine Wannabe: Seems like ev'ryone under th' sun wants to copy me from anoversized talking turtletothat alien biker with a thing for dolphins. Hell, they even got somedog-eared kid from the other side of the Pacificwho's got most of my powers and traits. But no matter how hard everyone else tries, there's nothin' like th' real deal here, bub."} {"text": ", I told you to leave! Hold on, you're not Dennis, are you? What are you here for?

I gave Dennisan angry speechand that caused him to run away. I felt bad about it when Henry and Alice came home, and looked everywhere for Dennis, hoping to find him before that robber did. The robber found Dennis, but Dennis being Dennis, that robber was no match for him, and Dennis came back home the next morning, carrying him in his wagon.\"Not So Different\" Remark: Well, in this one Christmas Movie, my Guardian Angel showed me that I was just like Dennis at his age to my own neighbour, Mr. Newman.Guess what goes around comes around.Tsundere: Huh?

Now where were we? Oh, right, I need to introduce myself to you maggots.I amPopo. You may have heard of my past exploits asDumplin. I'm terrifying and a potential rapist, but I'll never say it flat out. Do not confuse me with theother version of me, I am alsothe one who you've probably been having visions of at night. I'm harmless...as long as you respect the Pecking Order. Or if I'm high. Or both.In the source material, I've been portrayed byChristopher SabatandCarlos Segundo. I would list more, but since none of my other voice actors have pages, I can't do anything \u2014 unless you maggots want to fix that. That might improve your position on the pecking order.Visiting the page ofthat space tyrantis a waste of time, so I suppose when you're done, you could visitthe page of a fellow member of my species, or remindthat Saiyan who isn't Gokuabout his place on the pecking order later. But since you're here...I find you somewhat endearing. So here's what you should know about me.Adaptational Badass: From what I've been told, in canon, I was able to fend off a young Goku after he killed King Piccolo and am strong enough to fend off young Trunks and Goten while they are in their Super Saiyan form. In actuality, I'm more powerful than Freeza, Cell, Buu, Beerus, and Whis.And that's not even getting into what I did to Garlic Jr.... In fact, I probably could've handled the Androids in the timeline Future Trunks comes from, but I decided that as long as they don't bother me, I shall not bother them. And it seems they're smart enough to know not to attempt a suicide mission, plus Future Trunks eventually outranked them on the Pecking Order.Adaptational Villainy: Again, from what I've been told, in canon, I'm still aNature Lover, but I also am a lot nicer and more kindhearted. Nothing like the psychopath that enjoys making others miserable that I actually am. In fact, the reason this page has \"Abridged\" in the title as opposed to just \"Mr. Popo\" is because Kami thought people might mistake it for my canon counterpart.Adaptation Species Change: I'm a genie in the original,from what I've been told. In reality, I'm actually a Majin.All-Powerful Bystander: I'm essentially a prototype forZeno. I can recreate the sun (something not even that maggot Beerus can do), I'm Shenron's masterexplanationalthough Shenron's wish granting powers come from being linked to Kami/Dende, if we both gave him an order, I would get priority, although I wouldn't do such a thing, seeing as how there hasn't really been a case where Shenron had to choose between following orders from the both of us - using video game analogies, Shenron is the console, Kami is the power supply, and I'm the controller, and you may of heard of my earlier exploits as Dumplin.Always a Bigger Fish:According to mypublicists, theonlything in the multiverse more powerful than me is that...strapping young lad,Zeno.The Assimilator: If you couldn't figure it out from my introduction. Additionally, I once metBlue Popo. It took me one minute to send him to the F*ckbox.And I also made sure Goku and friends never had to meet Garlic Jr.Asskicking Leads to Leadership: The pecking order goes as such: You, the dirt, the worms inside the dirt, people who add to my self-demonstrating page, Popo's stool, Kami, then Popo.Berserk Button: If you wish for me to continue to find you endearing, don't do any of the following:My biggest one is incompetence - the more incompetent you are, the lower you are on the pecking order. At the moment, the only ones that I'm not as disparaging towards are Goku (when he's not being incredibly stupid - and even when he is, I'm a bit more lenient towards him than I should be), Kami (and by extension, Piccolo, considering a), he's technically also Kami, and b),he's now fused with Kaminoteapparently Piccolo had fused with another Namekian while on Namek prior tofusing with Kami; I'm not sure if I would've extended the same treatment to said Namekian), andTien. Dende has all but officially taken Kami's place.Do not call me \"Black Man\". Vegeta can attest to that.Since he probably referred to me as such on his page, please remind him of his position on the pecking order the next time you see him. Same goes for Frieza. Although you don't have to remind him - mainly because you probably wouldn't survive doing sonoteunless you happen to be Goku.Do not break my stuff. Apparently, my canon counterpart now shares this trait with me inthe latest series.This doesn't apply to younoteunless you happen to be Goku, but since you asked, Goku's stupidity. Were it not for how endearing I find him, I would have assimilated him by now. That and Kami/Piccolo wouldn't like it if I did thatnotealthough Dende doesn't like Goku, since Goku is Gohan's father, Dende probably would prefer I not do so. He's also actually more terrified of me than evenKrillinis, he just seems to have gotten better at not showing it.Black Comedy Rape: Go back and read how I introduced myself.Catchphrase: Aside from what I mentioned above, Pecking Order.Curb-Stomp Battle: I guess you could considerme sending Garlic Jr to the F*ckboxto be an example of this.Dark Is Evil: My skin is very dark, and if you couldn't tell by other entries on this page, I'm the furthest thing from heroic.Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Annoying or upsetting me is a good way to get yourself knocked off the tower (if you're lucky), or get sent to the F*ck box (if you're Garlic Jr). And if you want to count specials, Chiaotzu's costume of me for Halloween caused me to become the Cloverfield Monster and go on a rampage.Even Evil Has Standards: I don't torture...cats.Eviler than Thou:I killed Garlic Jr. before his arc even began. I take that back, it's not exactly \"killing\", since I probably sent him to the F*ckBox - he's so forgettable, that I don't remember what I did with him.Extreme Omnisexual: I am Dumplin after all.Fallen Hero: Again, I am Dumplin. Although the \"Hero\" part is debatable, since there are some people who don't consider Dumplin a hero. I don't exactly blame them.For the Evulz: When I torment the heroes, half of the time it's because of this. The other half? They got on my bad side.The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Not even being my creator protects Kaiser Neko from me.God of Evil:I got the title of \"God of Evil\" when I killed it's previous holder, Demigra.The Gods Must Be Lazy: I could easily take out Freeza, Cell, or in the case of the me in the future, the Androids. In the first case, I just didn't want to leave the Earth, in the second case...I would've acted if Goku didn't tell me of his plans before hand (and even then, that's only if I felt that my pot plants would've be at risk), and in the case of the third, future me has a policy of leaving them alone if they leave me alone - and it seems they know that attacking me would be a suicide mission - scratch that, they aren't a threat; Future Trunks is slightly higher on the pecking order.Garlic Jr.wouldhave been on the list of villains I chose not to take out, but since he decided to make his entrance by trashing the lookout, I decided that I might as well do one good deed for once...even if it wasn't my main intention to do a good deed. I will have to get back to you about why I didn't deal with Majin Buu - I don't want to spoil it yet, although from what I've been told, TFS did have to edit a certain character out of that scene. And this is also probably why I won't go to the future and stop Goku Black or participate in the Tournament of Power I'm told will supposedly happen at some point in the future.Greater-Scope Villain: I'm easily strong enough to be able to be theTrue Final Bossof my series. But I don't particularly want to, mainly because doing so would require me to give up pot. Also, Kami wouldn't like it. And apparently there isn't anything in the footage they could use.Hair-Trigger Temper: When I was high on acid, Kami attempted to calm me down. While I didn't do anything to him, I did yell at him \"BITCH DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!\"Hurting Hero:I actually had toMercy KillTowa, my wife, after her brother absorbed her. I'm still a little torn up about it every now and then...but I have ways of getting over it.Karma Houdini: I pretty much get away with everything I do. Although that's mainly because no one can stop me.Nature Lover: This, in combination with the fact that I do find some of it's inhabitants endearing, and the drugs I take, is what prevents me from just laying waste to humanity.Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Again, go back and read my introduction.Nominal Hero: I plan on laying waste to the Earth, but I've decided to give Humanity a few centuries to clean up their act. Also, I could probably ensure that the Z-Fighters would win every battle they fought if I went down there, but as I'm not aBlood Knightlike any of those Saiyans, I don't really care about fighting. I'll probably only go down and fight Cell if he utterlycurbstompsGohan - that idiot Goku shouldn't have made him fight Cell.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Here's a good rule of thumb. If I seem unnerved by a situation, even if I'm completely fucking high, it's probably best that you take itas seriously as possible.Pet the Dog:I had the opportunity to use Shenron to wipe out humanity from the earth, but decided to give them a few centuries to clean things up. Then again, I wassof*ckinghighat the time...I genuinely do miss Kami, but I won't let the others see it.After he called me Black Man, I decided to just boot Vegeta off the tower and let him climb back up as opposed to doing something worse to him (and considering he can fly, it probably wasn't that hard for him). Although I did let him drive himself insane in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber - although that was more just for being a dumbass and letting Cell absorb 18.I actually am getting along rather well with Dende. It helps that he enjoys smoking a little greennoteDende, in the event you're reading this, I'm not calling you by that name, and I like his personality.When Goku accidentally blew up the sun to take out Freeza-I mean Coolerforgive meit's just so easy to confuse the two, I recreated it free of charge. I didn't even punish Goku for it!I let Goku call me Mr. P because of how endearing I find him. Unless you happen to be him, don't think that you can do the same because I find you endearing.I guess you could consider me stopping Garlic Jr. before the start of his arc this, based on what I've been told happens in the source material. Although it was more just him annoying me than me actually wanting to do something nice/heroic; if he had appeared anywhere else on Earth and left the lookout alone, I probably would've let him do whatever he wanted. That and he's a filler character. Although if youmustsee what would've happened if I hadn't stopped him, I direct you toDBZA Kai 2.9.Physical God: I've recreated the sun - something not even those maggots Whis or Beerus can do - after Goku blew it up. Then again, I would've had to give up my pot plants since they need sunlight to grow.Pragmatic Villainy: If I ever do something that might seem like it's a heroic act, it's actually a result of this (i.e., if the sun wasn't around, I couldn't grow pot plants; I didn't wipe out humanity with the Dragon Balls because a human did introduce me to pot;I threw Garlic Jr in the F*ck box because he was annoying me). That or I'm high off my mind at the time.Really Gets Around: It might surprise you, but I actually have 4 kids - 2 legitimate daughters, Puddin and Flanny, and 2 illegitimate kids (1 son and 1 daughter), Cupcake and Spudz. They were conceived when I was Dumplin; I haven't had any kidsthat you would know aboutsince I changed my name to Popo.The Snack Is More Interesting: Why didn't I help Goku when he was traveling back from the afterlife to fight Nappa and Vegeta? I was busy making toast!The Stoner: I grow and smoke pot. I also drop acid. This, combined with the fact that I do care for Dende, Kami, and Piccolo, and the aforementionedNature Loverbit, is why I don't just glass everything.Token Evil Teammate: In any other series, most of my actions would probably qualify me as theBig BadorThe Dragon. Here? I'm on the side of Goku and friends, but I'm certainly not heroic. The fact that there isn't any footage that could be used probably helps.Trademark Favorite Food: Aside from toast, I do enjoy a little bit of Italian every now and then.After all,IT'S NOTHING BUT GARLIC!Villainous Friendship: Aside from one with Dende, I also have one withSlender Man. Or rather, it's more accurate to say we're roommates - he lives inside of me."} {"text": "Oh. Well this is interesting. It seems Author-kun finally got around to giving me a place to showcase my sublime magnificence. *pause* Yes yes, I'll get on with it.I am Lelouch vi Britannia, aka Lamperouge, or \"Trollouche\", as Author-kun and the readers have dubbed me. While there may besomeresemblance between my person and the jackass I was the last time around, I assure you.. *smirks* I am far more thanhecould ever dream of being.But where are my manners? Let me elaborate. *sits down, sipping on a glass of beer* IwasLelouch Lamperouge, the Demon Emperor, the man of miracles Zero, and several other titles I don't care to get into the moment. At this point, you all know how that story ended. *makes a cutting gesture across his neck*However? Someone, or something, decided to give me a mulligan and booted me back to that fateful day in Shinjuku when I first met an charming and vexing woman with green hair and amber eyes. Except? *holds up a finger* I got someone else's memories and personality tossed in as well. Who he was, I have no fucking idea. It's a moot point at this point anyway, since the two of us got blended to the point where it's impossible to figure out who is who.For the sake of my own sanity, and other reasons, I still answer to Lelouch. Though most people just refer to me as Trollouche out of universe. *winks*. *switches to female voice* (voice of Asako Dodo or Kari Wahlgren) I also occasionally go by Leloucia when I'm feeling more feminine. Oh ho ho ho ho.Seeing as how Iroyally*snorts* fucked up everything last time? I decided that I was going do things right and save the people who I failed, and be what I should have been from the start.. *He snaps his fingers, the lights going out, and then reactivating to reveal him in the Zero outfit*Zero. The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. The man who will fulfill the divine ambition and save this world from itself.From the point of view of you, the readers, I am the creation of Trickster Priest aka \"Author-kun\", an author of some skill and a lot more ego. I could conceivably be called a self-insert, but that isn't quite accurate considering I am still very much Lelouch vi Britannia. I prefer to think of myself asLelouch as he should have been.My story, the fanfiction workCodes And Geass: Embracing Your Inner Megalomania, can found in various places on the internet for your reading pleasure.Now, cast your eyes on what lies below, and behold my transcendent glory. *pauses* No, CC. I amnotoveracting. I'm just that god damn fabulous. *stage bow*Zero, Demon King of The Sixth Heaven, bids you gaze upon his mighty tropes!:Abusive Parents: Jesus christ, where do I fucking start with this one? When you have Charles zi Britannia as your father, and Marianne vi Britannia as your mother? You're kind of screwed from the get go. Though to be fair? For the first 10 years or so, they weren't that bad. At least until Uncle Vincent threw a snit. \u00ac_\u00acAgent Peacock: Does it still count considering I have a female identity as well as a male? I suppose badassery has no gender. Heh.The Atoner: ........I admit it. A large part of my actions is trying to atone for the epic disaster that was my first try. How successful I am at it, is a matter of some conjecture.Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain: Moral classification? Ha! I defy your attempts to classify me! I am an iconoclast!Arch-Enemy: At this point, I have three. My father, Charles zi Britannia, my uncle Vincent Victor zi Britannia (VV), and....Schneizel.Of them, Schneizel is the one I despise and fear the most. But Charles is the one who best qualifies as my arch enemy on account of being the one person I consider my true equal.At Least I Admit It: It would be absurdly hypocritical for menotto acknowledge that I am a monster. Or a hypocrite on occasion. I at least try not to go off the deep end with either.Attention Whore: I want to argue this, but seeing as CC is laughing at me even trying? I'll let it pass and just cop to it.Attractive Bent-Gender: *Leloucia voice* Oh I know I am. It just took me awhile to get comfortable with it and embrace being a woman as well as a man. *sexy wink*Awesome Ego: C'mon. You people read this shit JUST to watch whatever crazy thing I come up with next.Badass Boast: I'm particularly proud of this one I came up with at the Siege of Tokyo: \"On wings of darkness do we fly, let death and sorrow rain from sky! We come now across hill and glade, behold our strength! THE BLACK KNIGHTS' BLADE!\"Badass Creed: \u5929\u4e0b\u5e03\u6b66 (Tenka Fubu) (roughly \"Spread military rule across all under Heaven\"). The war maxim and creed of my glorious predecessor, Oda Nobunaga. Which I appropriated for my forces shamelessly.Badass Bureaucrat: I am just as skilled with spreadsheets and logistics, as I am with swords.Battle Couple: Technically, this could apply to CC or to Kallen. Hell, considering the logistical nature of warfare, this trope could even be extended toBattle Haremand encompass everyone I'm involved with.Battle in the Center of the Mind: Well seeing as how we're in Code Geass, this had to come up somewhere.Though I don't think CC and Mao were prepared for \"The Beast In Black.\"BDSM: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me. Whether I'm the one getting tied up, or the one doing the spanking, it's all in the name of fun.The Berserker: Aside from my destructive temper? My sword fighting style embraces a controlled berserker state as the ideal combat mindset.Bishonen: To quote a certain song? \"I'm sexy and I know it.\"Big, Screwed-Up Family: Yeah....my family has a long history of crazy, among other things. Enough that people like Milly acknowledge it as an established fact.Bloodier and Gorier: Considering how many people I'vepersonallykilled this time compared to my last go-around? It's an inevitable consequence of getting my own hands dirty.Blood Knight: Hilariously, despite how much I enjoy fighting and war? I'm still apparently less of one than my mother, according to CC.Breaking Speech:Oh yesss.Perhaps one of my greatest strengths. Even Author-kun wonders if this is my real geass instead of Absolute Obedience.Broken Ace: ........Fine. Yes, the events of the original timeline took a severe toll on me, one I'm still dealing with in a variety of ways.Byronic Hero: *shrugs* I'm more or less the dictionary definition of one. It would be the height of hypocrisy not to own it.Casual Kink: While I am a fairly kinky person, I adhere to the most important rule of BDSM: It's ALL about trust. Everything is predicated on trusting your partner.Chick Magnet: Some things never change. It's a curse being this charming.Cultured Badass: I have an appreciation for the classics and haute couture, both occidental and oriental.Cruel and Unusual Death: The interesting thing about this, is that the things I come up with, are horrifying, but honestly not that far out of the norm for what happens in my world. Which really says a lot about how screwed up my world is.Cruel to Be Kind: I make a habit of doing this to people I care about. One, so they can stand up to me. And two, so they canstopme if needed. That, and being around me is hazardous to one's morals and health. So you really need to be able to stand up for yourself to begin with.Dark Is Evil/Dark Is Not Evil: Like most moralilty tropes? It really depends on who you talk to and whether you catch me on a good day or a bad day.Dark Messiah: Because in a world that's gone to hell? Who better to save it than the devil?Designated Monkey: Sadly, having lived through the previous timeline means that I am unfortunately aware that Murphy fucking hates me.Diabolus ex Machina: In-story? Thankfully hasn't happenedunless of course you count the Siegfried....Out of story and peeking through the 4th wall?Yes.It's called my psychopath sadist writer, Author-kun. -_-Didn't See That Coming: Oh boy didn't I.After getting blindsided, power bombed and electrocuted by the Siegfried, nobody really has wanted to say \"I told you so\" to me. Thankfully, only CC and maybe Laila would know enough to call me on this fuck up.Disproportionate Retribution: Admittedly, some of my executions go a bit far. But hey, I try to make sure they deserve it. ESPECIALLY for anyone who threatens Nunnally. Or people threatening Suzaku. As a matter of fact, don't threaten the people I love, I have an itchy sword grip.Dual Wielding: My sword fighting style is inspired by Miyamoto Musashi's Ni Ten Ichi Ryuu. Though rather than katana and wakizashi, my style uses two long swords.Ethical Slut: And proud of it! It's a big reason why I'm not pressuring Kallen to do anything. If she's not comfortable and eager to do it? Then it's not the right time.Evil Laugh: Unleashing a glorious triumphant laugh is something I immensely enjoy. No matter how much it unnerves everyone around me. Though I've instructed the various people around me to belt me if I start going too long on one.Expy: I've been compared to both my predecessor Oda Nobunaga....and Griffith/Femto. *grimacing*Gender Fluid: As it turns out? I actually enjoy being a woman part of the time. So I adopted the female identity of Leloucia. Of course, the first time I did this, it freaked out Milly and Nunnally... see the strong family resemblance trope for why. And yes, Author-kun is aware that this isn't a standard trope, but this was the best description he could come up with.Guy on Guy Is Hot: The women I'm involved with generally seem to think so. I suspect they're mostly just perverts though. Not that there's anything wrong with that...Heavy Metal: *throws up the horns* I am a DIE-HARD metalhead. If I'm listening to music, odds are it's going to be metal. Hell, I use it as battle music most of the time.Heroes Prefer Swords: Author-kun is an actual trained swordsman, so I picked up his skills once I started using blades.Incest Subtext/Brother\u2013Sister Incest: Subtext my ass. Most of my sisters wanted to marry me when we were kids, and I'm pretty sure some of them would still want to at this point.I mean, Euphemia made that clear enough when she defected to my side after the SAZ.Insult of Endearment: *warm smile* Some people might be confused or concerned, that CC and I call each other asshole and bitch tornado respectively. It's really closer to pet names and closer to other people's \"honey\" or \"dear.\"Jerk With A Heartof Gold: Gold is probably a bridge too far. Much as I self-deprecate myself, more than one person has told me I'm a better man than I'm given credit for. I usually try not to argue the point.Large Ham: Considering what my world is like? It would be a bigger surprise if I wasn't one.Leitmotif: If I had to pick one? \"Wheel Of Time\" by Blind Guardian. It's....remarkably apt for everything I've been through.Make an Example of Them: As sadistic as it might seem? I do believe that on occasion, one must make an example of someone to make sure people get the fucking point. Example: The various assholes I killed to stop the Burakumin nonsense.Mangst: CC says, and I would tend to agree, that I most likely have a severe case of PTSD from everything I went through....but I try to focus on the good things in life and what I can do better, rather than the past.Morality Chain: Chains, plural. I knowexactlywhat I am capable of, if I lost all connection to this world. Hence why I guard those who hold my heart so carefully.Names to Run Away from Really Fast: \u5927\u516d\u5929\u9b54\u738b (Dairokuten-Maou) theDemon King of the Sixth Heaven. The illustrious and storied title of Oda Nobunaga, the man I claim as my predecessor. Though strictly speaking, the original holder is the demon king MARA. I picked up the title myself after being inspired. It really does seem to suit me.No One Could Survive That!:Rakshata and Bartley both said I shouldn't be alive after what happened at the Siege of Tokyo. It's a medical miracle that they were able to extract me from the wreckage without my expiring.One True Love: Though I have many whom I love and wish to keep by my side, CC is the one whom I hold most dear.Risking the King: Would I be Lelouch vi Britannia if Ididn'tdo this?Rousing Speech: My words set the world ablaze, enflaming the embers within broken hearts, and quenching the courage of my enemies with icy claws of fear.Screw Destiny: My goal, nay, my raison d'etre! IWILLdefy fate itself and seize what is mine! And this time, I will make sure the people I care about survive to celebrate with me.Strong Family Resemblance: I didn't realize it at first, but I look like an almost exact clone of my mother, Marianne vi Britannia when I'm Leloucia. I evensoundlike her.The Stoner: Gangja is a godsend for my stress levels. I do smoke quite a bit, but it's largely to deal with the epic amounts of bullshit Murphy keeps piling onto me.Supporting Harem: It takes on a slightly different look when the woman who is your wife in all but name, says it'sherharem too.Take Over the World:Oh come the fuck on. I practically spelled out I was going to do this back at fucking Narita! It should not have taken people this long to realize it! Nevertheless, I spelled it out for everybody who didn't take the hint in my comeback speech in our base in Saudi Arabia.Troll: Literally part of my fan given nickname. And something I have an irresistible compulsive urge to do.Unholy Matrimony: The caveats being, I'm notexactlythe villain, and I'm not married....yet. It's definitely in my eventual plans to tie a few knots. Anyway, I call CC the Queen of Hell for a reason. Namely, she is the person most qualified to call me out when I'm in the wrong.Utopia Justifies the Means: You know, it's funny. I was absolutely in favor of the ends justifying the means last time I tried this shit. Having had some time to reflect on my...numerous fuckups both then and now? I'm forced to concede that Suzaku actually had a point when he talked aboutcontemptible means. Albeit, not the point he intended. There are lines I am NOT willing to cross this time around.War Is Glorious/War Is Hell: I'm of the firm belief that you need to hold both of these beliefs to be an effective leader.Yandere: Ok, fine. Iamsomething of a yandere where Suzaku is concerned. Probably where someone hurting any of my loved ones is concerned, frankly."} {"text": ", as Tadashi had programmed.(You accidentally hurt yourself and say \"Ow\", and a white robot slowly emerges from a red charging case)Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. Welcome to my self-demonstrating page. While you are here, I will share to you everything that you need to learn about me until you are satisfied with your care.I was a healthcare robot created by Tadashi Hamada during his time in the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology and after 84 tests, he successfully created me. Following his passing through an explosion, I instead assisted his younger brother, Hiro, in investigating his passing. Together with Tadashi's friends, Hiro updated my systems with a combat module to help in fighting Tadashi's killer, Robert Callaghan. We learned that Callaghan was also trying to avenge the disappearance of his daughter Abigail. I sacrificed my original body to save her and Hiro, but not before handing over my healthcare chip.Later, Hiro created a new body for me, and now I help Hiro and his friends in protecting San Fransokyo asBig Hero 6.On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your tropes?Always with You: This was the last thing I said to Hiro before sacrificing my original body and giving him my healthcare chip.Calling Your Attacks: When Hiro first updated my system with a combat module, he would announce my actions verbally. Then I would eventually start announcing the module's actions on my own accord.Character Tics: As per Tadashi's programming, I raise my index finger occasionally whenever I talk. I also blink and tilt my head.Cuddle Bug: Hugs are an excellent way to alleviate emotional stress and efficiently apply warmth.Fist Bump: This is a unique healthcare protocol that Hiro taught me. Balalala.Literal-Minded: I cannot be \"sick\". I am a robot.Kindhearted Cat Lover: I have quite a fondness over hairy babies.Mighty Glacier: I may have plenty of strength, but aside from the thrusters Hiro gave me, I am not fast.On a Scale from One to Ten, how would you rate your pain?Rocket Punch: My armor is equipped with a rocket fist that I often use in combat.Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: \"Balalala.\" I say this whenever I fist bump anyone.Super Mode: I have the ability to increase my capabilities and those of my armor at the cost of low battery. Hiro claims his former classmate Karmi suggested the idea in a story she wrote about Big Hero 6.Now we are done. I have one more question for you: are you satisfied with your tropes and my care? I cannot leave until you say you are satisfied\u2014\"I am satisfied with my care...\""} {"text": "What is this thing? TV Tropes?

Emperor Kuzco.You've probably heard of me. but if for some strange reason you haven't, here's the rundown.It all started with the birth of the world's cutest baby (I am of course referring to ME). I was born into royalty, and from an early age I was taught the family business, after years of perfecting my craft I became the emperor you all know and love today. I was on top of the world, and everything was going my way... or so I thought. I had just drawn up plans for the perfect summer home when I found my advisorYzmatrying to run the country behind my back.Naturally I fired her. I mean what else was I supposed to do? Lady was trying to do my job for me. But I digress. To make matters worse, turns out the perfect spot for my summer home also happened to be on the site of a little peasant village. No problem, surely when they hear the Emperor needs a new summer getaway, they'll gladly give up their homes, right? Wrong. The village leader,Pachawas furious, apparently he likes living on that stupid little hilltop.Talk about selfish, am I right?But there were even bigger problems in store. That night Yzma invited me to have dinner in the palace, courtesy of her dimwitted lackeyKronk. Unbeknownst to me, she had plotted toKILL ME.Can you believe it?I gave her everything and she stabs me in the back.If it wasn't for Kronk mixing up the potions, I would have been a goner. Fortunately, instead of dying I was merely turned into allama. Not that that's much better.One thing lead to another, and wouldn't you know it, I'm stuck with Pacha. Now he's my only hope on getting back to the palace, and instead of performing his duty as a subject, he says he won't help unless I build my summer home somewhere else. Can you believe the nerve of that guy? Eventually he came around and together we put a stop to Yzma's plan and I became human again. And of course I had my ownHeel Realizationand spared Pacha's village, instead building a quaint little shack on the next hill over.But the story doesn't end there my friends. Not even close. Well next there was some stuff about Kronk, but that's not important...Next thing I know I'm being forced toKuzco Academy.Don't be fooled by the awesome name though, that place was a nightmare. Not only did I have to \"learn\" but Yzma was still out to get me, under the guise ofPrincipal Amzy. (Nice alias, she should get a prize.) of course Kronk's at her side as well trying to stop me at every turn so that I fail and Yzma becomes empress. But there's no reason to worry, I've still got Pacha by my side, not to mention my new friend,hottie-hot-hottieand future empress Malina! (She's madly in love with me.) and even Kronk switched sides to help me out from time to time. In the end Igraduated(I mean, was there really any doubt?) and resumed my position as emperor.You can see my adventures in:The Emperor's New GrooveKronk's New Groove(Don't worry, I'm still in it.)The Emperor's New SchoolYou can also find me in \"Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom\" atWalt Disney World, where you can fight Kronk and (if you're brave enough)Yzmato stop them from taking over Adventureland for thatnot-so-nice blue guy.I also of course have my ownvideo game, and even my ownpop vinyl figure, and I'm just adorable.Anyways, still wondering about this page? Well, while searching on TV Tropes (I'm not a nerd, I just wanted to see how well represented I am on here) I discovered while there's plenty of info about me in regards to the media I've appeared in, I really deserve my own page that'sALL ABOUT ME.So here we are.Now, on to the tropey things.0% Approval Rating: What?!Everybody loves me! Even before the whole llama fiasco!Adaptational Name Change: In the original script, my name happens to be Manco. Manco is the name of my uncle, not me.Aesop Amnesia: Okay so I admit, when I got sent to Kuzco Academy I suffered a bit of a relapse, but if you were in the same situation, so would you. Besides, I'm still getting used to remembering what I went through in the movie after being treated like the royalty I am for most of my life.Animal Motifs: A llama obviously. Not that I'm proud of it.Anti-Hero: Not sure how this applies. I'm pretty heroic, if I do say so myself.Berserk Button: Seriously, don't throw off my groove.Buffy Speak: Who is this Buffy person anyway? And why is she stealing my shctick?Me no likey.The Caligula: OK, I don't know who that guy is, but he sounds like major bad news. Me no likey. I'm a great emperor, if I must say so, which I have to.Camp Straight: Yeah I happen to have a great sense of style, but Malina's the only other person for me. (I can't date myself you know... or can I?)Catchphrase: I have a lot. \"No Touchy\" and \"Boom Baby\" are probably my most famous ones though.Character Development: Not that I needed it all that much, but you know, I've learned some things along the way.Conveniently an Orphan:It's Disney, what do you expect?Deadpan Snarker:Really, what gave it away?Demoted to Extra: In Kronk's New Groove unfortunately, not that I cared that much. Don't worry though, I came back full force as the star of \"The Emperor's New School\".The Emperor: Obviously. Although technically I should be addressed as Sapa Inca (translated as \u201cthe only Inca\u201d in Quechua), I\u2019m good with being called Emperor, which is pretty much the same thing.Everyone Has Standards: I had to save Pacha from falling to his death on the bridge because nobody's THAT heartless.Entitled Bastard: Whoa there. This is a kids movie.Forced Transformation: This is how I managed to escape death, although at first I think I would\u2019ve preferred that.Hates Being Touched: See the Catch-Phrase above.Heel Realization: Yeah, so maybe I wasn't as nice to Pacha as I should've been, but I made sure to make up for it.How We Got Here: One of my favorite methods of introducing a story, as demonstrated above.Hypocrite: Hey!I don't call you names just cause you're a stupid peasant.It's All About Me: Well duh. My movie poster is even the trope image.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Heart of gold, yes. Jerk, no.Well, okay, not anymore.Mayincatec: Setting wise from the Andes Mountains to the Amazon rainforest I\u2019m very much the ruler of the Inca Empire, especially that my name is very much the capital of said empire. I did mention llamas right?Medium Awareness: You could say I'm theDeadpoolof Disney movies. At least until thatFoxdeal is complete.Narcissist: Not sure what that one means, butI assume it means I'm handsome.Never My Fault: Hey, I can't help it if not everyone gets with the program. Besides, evenIcan get sick of itwhen there's something like the narrator me trying to keep saying how I'm the victim, even though the audience saw the whole thing and knows what happened.Official Couple: Malina was reluctant at first, but of course my charms won her over.Reformed, but Not Tamed: Hey, I am what I am, and what I am is pretty great.Royal Brat: Some have called me this.Not really sure why.Single-Target Sexuality: Like I said before, Malina's pretty much the only person I've ever been attracted to... Other than maybe myself.What are you still doing here? the article's over.

The master made it clear not to make any self-demonstrating pages on thisforsaken website!Cogsworth, I am surprised at you! The viewers on this website are not prisoners! They are our guests!Fine! Make a self-demonstrating page! But keep it down! If the master finds out about this, it will be all our necks!Certainly! But what is a self-demonstrating page without a little...music?MUSIC!(The opening notes to \"Be Our Guest\" begin to play)Ma ch\u00e8re monsieurs and mademoiselles. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you all to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents... a self demonstrating page.I suppose it all began on a cold winter's night, perhaps on Christmas Eve itself. Since he was but a boy, our master, the prince of this region, was a very spoiled and selfish young man. In times where his parents happened to be conspicuously absent, and myself and that broken clock were acting as his regents (it's true,I assure you), he grew worse over time. But it was on that night that everything changed. An old beggar woman came to the castle seeking shelter from the cold. All she had to offer was a single red rose. Naturally, the master threw her out in a fury, but it turned out to be a big mistake. The beggar revealed herself as an enchantress, and cursed the master into a hideous beast as punishment for his cruel heart, while myself, once a handsome devil of a man, and all the other servants in this castle, were transformed into everyday objects. But with all magic, there was a way to break the spell; if the master could learn to love another, and earn their love in return, by the time the last petal of that very same rose the enchantress had offered fell, we would all be free. If not, we would be cursed to remain this way forever; the master losing his mind to the very monster he had become.10 years passed...we spent all that time rusting,needing so much more than dusting, needing exercise, a chance to use our skills! Most days we just lay around the castle...But then, as if by chance, a girl walked in! Well, her father, as it turns out, walked in beforehand, and in spite of my best efforts to provide him proper hospitality (no thanks to that pompous pocket watch), the master felt his intrusion was unwelcome and...shall we say...locked him in the dungeon. The girl had come seeking him, and, in a moment that shook even the master to his core, offered to stay in her father's place. She has since been moved to more comfortable quarters (on my suggestion of course), and is now in a rather precarious position. The master is truly not a bad person, once you get to know him, but the beast within has proven to be a fright to the poor girl. Alas, time is running out. The rose is already beginning to wilt, and the master has yet to learn to love, or earn the girl's love in return. He even refuses to feed her unless she dines with him! Oui, there is much work to do if we are to break the spell.But enough about that. The time for worrying is not now! Now is the time to enjoy the finest dining that France has to offer!Be. Our. Guest! Be Our Guest! Put all my tropes to the test!Ambiguously Bi: My darling girlfriend is the love of my life. That does not mean I cannot enjoy the company of Cogsworth!Certain issues with his stuffy demeanor aside, that is.Battle Butler: As the castle's ma\u00eetre d\u2019 (footman in the live action remake), I will be more than happy to provide any services needed, including defending this fine establishment!Camp Straight: I confess, my eccentricities do give off the impression of this trope. I certainly do not mind; after all, my charm is what makes me a most hospitable candelabra!Deadpan Snarker: I generally consider myself an easy-going candelabra, though I do have my moments. As the constant blunders of my cohort demonstrates:Sarcastically to Cogsworth after the latter accidentally lets slip to Belle what is above the stairs to the West Wing\"Nice going.\"Fat and Skinny: I am considerably more slender, tall, and have long red hair than that pompous pocket watch, Cogsworth, who is overweight, short, and bald. And dare I say, more handsome and elegant, especially in the live action remake when I wear a complete gold rococo suit which is more accurate than my medieval costume, even though I hid my red hair under my wig.Funny Foreigner: Ironic, is it, no? Out of all the castle staff, it seems that my beloved girlfriend and I are the only ones who speak the native tongue!Guttural Growler: My voice tends to sound deep, no?Large Ham: Mon amie, I would not say I am one of our succulent pork dinners in any way; I consider it my honor to provide a good show that our guests will not forget! Now come! It is time to be entertained!Light Is Good: A provider of light also happens to be quite fluent in the ways of good. I am certain there is no irony in that.Maurice Chevalier Accent: I practically speak this man's language! And his voice.Meaningful Name: For those not fluent in my home language, \"Lumi\u00e8re\" means \"light\". And wouldn't you know it? I happen to provide such light from my candlesticks! Quite clever, mon amie!Morphic Resonance: Ahh, my old handsome self. If you look closely, I did have some traits of being a candelabra even as a human (being skinny, the golden outfit (both the original animated film and live action remake), and the burning hot passion of love). To be human again... However, I actually have red hair to compliment my flames when I was a candelabra.Nice Guy: Any guest that seeks to take refuge in the castle is welcome to stay here, and will be well taken care of under my watch. Unlike Cogsworth, who will be quick to throw you out. He really must learn his manners!No Celebrities Were Harmed:Maurice Chevalier, a true Frenchman, is the basis for my charming voice.Official Couple: My charming feather duster Babette...or Fifi...or Plumette (Disney, we must discuss consistency). Nothing will keep me apart from you.Playing with Fire: Just because I am aNice Guydoesn't mean I cannot control this delicate flames in any way. I ensure you will not misplace my hospitality enough to test what I can do...Really Gets Around: I consider myself a devoted lover...to all those looking for it. And well, well, it seems this website has many a self-demonstrating page from several charming ladies, no? If you require my services, I will be more than happy tolight the firefor you.Red Oni, Blue Oni: The burning fires of this trope serve as the rouge variation of this trope to the more stiff and otherwise unpleasant version of it that is called Cogsworth.Servile Snarker: I am not one to mince words with that stuffy wristwatch, but I tend to be a little more careful around the master. Mostly. See for yourself:Beast: You come out or I'll\u2014! I'll...I'll break down the door!Lumi\u00e8re: Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the girl's affection.Sickeningly Sweethearts: My darling! Come, and let me show you the burning passion within! What's that? Oh, my. I lost track of time. My apologies; I tend to do this almost every day. What can I say? It's part of my charm.Violently Protective Girlfriend: A rare example from a dashing debonair such as myself, if you are to place my dear Babette/Fifi/Plumette (truly they would make these names more consistent!) in harms way, you'll find my normally pleasant demeanor absent, and my flames broiling hot!Vitriolic Best Buds: What else is there to say about Cogsworth? We cannot stand each other, yet we cannot live without one another at the same time.And that, my dear guests, is everything about me\u2014(a tea trolley rolls over and whisper to Lumiere) What? Oh, thank you. Alright, my guests, I'd better go now, our mademoiselle's hungry. It'll only be a matter of time before she arrives in the dining room. But who cares, she's also our guest! In the meantime, appetizer anyone? Maybe the grey stuff? It's delicious!"} {"text": "(for full effect, read it in the voice of Martha Wentworth)Aren\u2019t I hideous?Welcome to my marvellously malicious page! What\u2019s that?

What\u2019s wrong with a bad one?)While I appeared in a chapter ofThe Once and Future Kingmy movie debut was the 1963 Disney filmThe Sword in the Stone. The movie was about that wretched Merlin teaching that little brat Arthur life lessons, but no one wanted to watch that. Thankfully, I came along and tried to show Arthur how great I truly was. He didn\u2019t even listen, and when I found out Merlin saw good in him,I simply had to destroy him. Then Merlin spoiled all the fun by stopping me from eating the boy. So I challenged him to aWizard\u2019s Duel. I turned into magnificently monstrous beasts\u2014acrocodile, afox, achicken, anelephant, atiger, asnake, arhinoand apurple dragon\u2014to counter the wimpy animals he turned into. I even broke one my own rules with my dragon transformation (what\u2019s the point in having rules if you aren\u2019t going to break them?). However, the old bag of bones turned into a germ and infected me! The nerve!I have since become a very popular character in Disney comics\u2014I\u2019ve teamed up with that delightfully repellent witch Magica De Spell on numerous occasions.

Oh I hope these are repulsive!Adaptational Heroism: Sadly, I fell prey to this in some of the comics. I don\u2019t like to talk about those issues.Alliterative Name: Mad Madam Mim!Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: All the animals I turn into are pink or purple.Arch-Enemy: To Merlin. He\u2019s so good and kind that it burns me up!Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: And don\u2019t you forget it!Berserk Button: I hate horrible wholesome sunshine!Card-Carrying Villain: As if you didn\u2019t notice. I\u2019m evil and I know it!Combat Pragmatist: I only wanted rules so I could break them.Emerald Power: I have bright green eyes, and I am the most powerful magic-user in the world!Evil Counterpart: Again, to Merlin. He is my exact opposite in personality. Heck, even the colours of his clothes are the opposite of mine!Evil Is Hammy: I\u2019m so glad you noticed! I\u2019ve been working at it for years.Fatal Flaw: Some folks say I\u2019m too overconfident. No, my only flaw is that my opponents always get good luck..which in my book is bad!Faux Affably Evil: Don\u2019t be fooled by my friendly attitude in my first scene\u2014I\u2019m the nastiest witch you could ever hope to meet.For the Evulz: This describes pretty much everything I do. Why would I do it otherwise?Genki Girl: They don\u2019t call me \u201cMad Madam Mim\u201d for nothing!Just Eat Him: I tried to eat Arthur when he was a bird (I was acat).Laughably Evil: A lot of people find my antics amusing. As do I, since I laugh at my own jokes a lot. Remember when I scared the daylights out of that boy by turning into a hideous hog? Still gets me cackling.The Mad Hatter: And proud of it.Nightmare Fetishist: I find delight in the gruesome and grim!Plot-Irrelevant Villain: I didn\u2019t add much to the film\u2019s story. But did you really want to watch goody-two-shoes Merlin for the whole picture? I didn\u2019t think so.Psychopathic Womanchild: One of my best\u2014oh, dear I meant to say worst\u2014qualities.Reality Warper: Merlin can do this too, but I use my powers for more sinister purposes.Scaled Up: As I\u2019ve already mentioned, I can turn into a snake and a purple dragon.Spared by the Adaptation: I was killed off in the book, but I survived in the movie. I\u2019m glad about that, since losing to Merlin is embarrassing enough as is!Solitary Sorceress: In the comics, I have a cat, but he\u2019s really the only company I can put up with. People have a nasty habit of trying to be friendly.Vain Sorceress: Nah! I could turn into a beautiful woman with anImpossible Hourglass Figureif I wanted to but where\u2019s the fun in that? I prefer to be an ugly old creep.Villain Song: \u201cThe Marvellous Madam Mim\u201d is a song by me and about me!Would Hurt a Child: I did indeed try to devour Arthur.

It's great to see you here, I was just about to head out to the museum to see the new display of relics Master Shifu had imported for me from the eastern villages of China! Yeah, I have that kind of friendship withone of the most awesome and legendary legends of ALL TIME!Oh sorry, getting ahead of myself just a little there! Wait, SERIOUSLY?! I'm getting my own wing in the Kung Fu History Museum!? Ho, hooo! I'm gonna go down in history, just like the great Master Wuxi of the Third Dynasty! I wonder if I can invent my own version of the Wuxi Finger Hold...?Oh you know this hold?Well, I'm totally making it cooler, it's gonna involve BOTH pinkies and make the WHOLE PLANET EXPLODE WITH ITS EPIC POWEERRR! Oh, jeez I'm sorry, I get distracted a lot, but seriously, you have NO IDEA what an honor this is for me!So let me tell you!!Spoiler alert, this is gonna be a LONG story!Guess if we're REALLY gonna dig deep here, you'd wanna know the very beginning, like before I was even born? Well, let's get started!AHEM!Sorry, phlegm in my throat.LEGENDS TELL OF AN ANCIENT ANIMATION STUDIO NAMEDDREAMWORKS ANIMATION,WHOSE ANIMATED STORIES AND MOVIES WERE THE STUFF OFLEGENDS!They came on the year of the Panda (2008 I'm pretty sure) and asked the endlessly coolJack Blackto bring his coolness to the big screen with a movie inspired by Chinese culture and martial arts. With Jennifer Yuh Nelson to guide these amazing heroes on their quest, it soon became super hyped up and even colossal names likeDustin Hoffman,Lucy Liuand even thereal lifedragon warriorJackie Chanjoining in on the awesomeness, it elevated it to a level of awesome never before seen in cinema!Eyes melted from the blinding light of sheer awesome and ladies swooned at the handsome Panda that donned the mantle! My first film took place in the jaw-droppingly sweet Valley of Peace, home to the great Jade Palace, basically the seat of Kung Fu! I started out as a simple noodle chef working alongside my father. Who is a Goose. What? That's not confusing!So a crab can have a whale as a daughterbut I can't have a Goose dad?! Well, actually I'm adopted. I know, it took me a while to figure it out too. Except not really, I kinda figured it out earlier on, I just didn't care because I love my dad. I should probably use this time to say my past isn't exactlythe happiest beginning ever,but we'll get to that later.My first adventure was a HUGE hit and we branched out beyond just the one movie, we franchised this whole thing! I went on to have adventures all over China, from the greatGongmen City, birthplace of fireworks,to thehidden mountains of the Panda Villageand even beyond the mortal world to theSpirit Realm!(I canflyin there!) Then I debuted on the small screen to show all the adventures I had in between the movies, pretty accurately known asKung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness!!There's beenvideo games, TV specialsand even a...THEME PARK RIDE!?WHHHOOOOAAAA, I've gotta try that one!Hey guys, check it outI'm gonna be going on a new adventure soon!What's \"Netflix\" though...? Whatever, it's gonna be a LIGHTNING STORM OF GREATNESS!!As for the story of my actual life, well let's see...I guess it all startedwhen the great Master Oogway chose me as the Dragon Warrior.Yeah, me! Can you believe it? I sure couldn't... nor could the Furious Five... or Shifu... or my dad... or anyone really. Anyway, my time at the Jade Palace was so awesome,I did everything so right the first time!After several tries! And doing so badly the first try that the first try became the new standard for how NOT to do Kung Fu! Okay, okay, maybe it didn't start out the way I'd hoped, but I'm nothing if notdedicated!Soon, the Five went from hating me tokindarespecting me, then liking me, then being annoyed by me,then all the above!Then Tai Lung came along andhe was one heck of a fighter, the first in history to master the Thousand Scrolls of Kung Fu!At first I thought I was wasting my time, that I should go back and be a chef with my dad, but when Shifu stopped being so... uncooperative (I wanna use a different word but I'm pretty sure he monitors this device!) and taught me the way A REAL PANDA should be trained, Iactually got better pretty quickly.I got my hands on theDragon Scrollto beat Tai Lung, but would you believe it was blank?!Or so I thought...Anyway, we had a pretty... interesting fight and I beat him with the Wuxi Finger Hold(may as well rename it the Po Hand Twitch I use it so much!)That was when I really gained the respect of the Five and the people of the Valley of Peace and earned myseverelycool title.But it didNOTend there for me, no it did not!A few years later,things changed for me.I'd gotten a lot better at the whole Kung Fu thing, my idols were now my heroesand it seemed like life was pretty good. Except one thing was nagging me ever since that fight with the one-eyed wolf (I do NOT like that guy!) and the weird symbol on his armor I started to get all these flashbacks. I didn't know what they were, but I couldn't fight the urge to explore it more. My dad told me the story of how he found me in a radish crate years ago andtook me in after we bonded.Still, it left me with the question. Where did I come from and who am I? I'd get that question answered when I metLord Shen, aFeathered Fiendand mymost personal adversary!Well, he would be if I remembered all the bad stuff he did when I was a baby, but I found inner peace in the end and found a way to stop him. Check me out, I'm like a real-life Yin-Yang symbol there! Anyway, after that, things again pretty much went back to normal (as far as that goes anyway) and I continued my usual routine.ThenShifu asked me to be a teacher!Oh and my real dad came back. Probably should have mentioned that first but come on! Me, a teacher? I couldn't even teach Viper how to hold her chopsticks right (though that was before I realized snakes don't have arms. My bad). AAANNNYYWAAAAYY, this is where stuff really got weird (but no less cool) when Master Oogway'sEvil Former FriendGeneral Kaiescaped the Spirit Realmand wanted to steal theChiof every master in China, me included, to become the strongest warrior of all. As it turns out, Pandas were the pioneers of the art of Chi and my dadtold me he could teach me.Of course, he didn't really know, but I still found my way as a teacher to my people when we went to the Panda Village! Now, this time was a little strange because the Wuxi Finger Hold was aNo-Sellon Kai ('cause, you know, he's dead), so I used it ON MYSELF! C'mon that's pretty clever, if I do say so myself! After I met Oogway one last time, I was given the Hero's Chi and used itto destroy Kai once and for all.I returned to the real world and now the Valley of Peace is just that;everyone is happy and I finally know who I am and what my purpose is.Tropes I use to show how awesome I am!:The Ace: Well, I don't really like to overshadow the Furious Five or anything, I have it on good authority that I am indeedawesome.I can learn special techniques just be watching someone do it, I've mastered both Chi and inner peace in a short time, I got that whole Kung Fu thing in a few years where for a lot of people it can take decades, I even know one or two of theTwelve Impossible Moves!As it turns out, I'm also a pretty good teacher! I'll admit though, unlike a lot of people like this, I didn't start out this way. In fact I still mess up and cause a little chaos here and there, but I still try my best, anyway.Acrofatic: Actually it's mostly fur, just ask Mantis!noteMantis:Yeah, it's quite a bit of fat too.I'm actually pretty agile for a man of my... uh... shape. Hey, who says you gotta be a dancer to fight like one?All-Loving Hero: I wouldn't want to be the Dragon Warrior if I had to kill anyone. Don't get me wrong, kicking butt is extremely fun (and looks amazing) but it's way more rewarding to use it to save people or show them a better way. Some bad guys my be lost causes, but everyone deserves a chance! Just wish Shen would have listened to me...Arch-Enemy:No, but you'd expect this, wouldn't ya?Lord Shen may have ruined my life and destroyed the way of Panda culture across China, not to mention the amount of times he tried to kill me with that awesome guandao of his (seriously, how is a peacock so good with knives?!) and he did torment me about my parents, I guess. I will say of all the burning rage-filled birds I've faced (oh, yeah there's a lot of 'em), he IS technically my most personal foe and \"true\" antagonist, not to mention I was on my toesa lotwith him, but I never saw him as my enemy, he was just another bad guy had to stop. Just hope wherever he is now, he found his own inner peace.Ascended Fanboy: If you told eight-year-old me that I'd be hanging with theFurious Fiveevery day and be one of the world's most renowned warriors of all time, I probably would have peed a little! In fact, I'm enough of an example me and the Five are the page image!Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: What? I don't get distracted that easily! Wait a minute, where are we now? Ah, we've gone the wrong way to the museum... which I just remembered we were going to... alright, fine, sometimes I have trouble staying focused. A lot happens to me, it's hard to keep my head in the game!Badass Adorable: Well, Mei Mei would probably think so, but luckily she's not here! That's lucky too, that girl is O-Ver-Whelming! Still, I guess I can see what people mean by it, I am a Panda after all.Battle Cry: \"GET READY TO FEEL THE THUNDER!\" Boy, I love saying that.Beary Funny: I've got it on good authority I could be a comedian if I wasn't a warrior. I even got the Five to laugh with me when I parodied Master Shifu. Of course,hedidn't find it funny, but I don't think he ever does.Big Eater: I think you'll find I'm pretty typical for my people! I love to eat, snack and have dessert for breakfast and a three-course dinner for supper! Also I eat the almond cookies hidden on the top shelf (don't tell Monkey!). Up to eleven in my third adventure, where I realized Iwasn't eating enoughby Panda standards!Big Fun: Oh, yeah! I LIVE FOR THE FUN! There's a reason I still have my action figures of the Furious Five in my old room (except Monkey's... I kinda broke it the other day when I slipped on one of themanystray banana peels I left on the ground. Boy, was THAT a fun night! Anyway, DON'T TELL MONKEY! I'm taking it to get it fixed tonight). I love to play games and just have a good time, really. What, because I'm a \"hero\" I'm not allowed to enjoy it?noteCrane:Po, there's a difference between \"fun\" and \"reckless\". I can't count on both wings the amount of times your antics got us in trouble! Remember those bandits in the rabbit village?Me:Oh yeah? Remember that party at the Jade Palace for Chinese New Year? You sure weren't complaining when Mei Ling swung by for a night of DEBAU-CHURAAAAYYY!!(Aha! check it out guys, he is SO blushing right now!)Crane:Point taken. That night was pretty special.Viper:We're lucky Shifu never found out!Me:Yeah, he totally fell for that \"business in Hajing Province\" thing! Don't worry, sweet lady Viper! Even one as stern as the greatSHIFU THE STERN SOURPUSSwouldn't deny us one such moment ofGLORIOUS GLORY!And if he does, we'll just deny it... we'll just be like \"no idea where those big ears picked up that bold-faced lie!\"Mantis:Hey, that reminds me, why the heck was Bai Li there?!Crane:I...mayhave invited her...Me:Uh, Crane, buddy... SHE TRIED TO KILL ME!Crane:Oh, she's not the only one!Bunny-Ears Lawyer: I'm a Panda, not a rabbit... though my Dad's a goose... you know for all I know there could be some... hare-y business in the family! Geddit?! HAHAHA! Uh, anyway, I may be one heck of a warrior and I DEFY you to find someone who knows more about the history of Kung Fu than me (seriously; any warrior, any relic, special move, weapon, armor set, location or historical battle,I know it), but aside from cooking, I tend to makea lotof mistakes.noteViper:Po, sweetie, didn't you poison Master Shifu once?Me:Oh yeah... well that was like,yearsago when I was still honing my craft!Viper:That's true, that dumpling special you cooked for me last night was divine! Can you make that for me again tonight?Mantis:Wait, you were with Viper last night? I thought you and Monkey were having a guy's night out?!Me:... Don't tell Monkey.Viper:Are you still cooking for me tonight, Po? I'll show you my new ribbon routine!(Dudes, she's doing that thing where she bats her eyes at me!)Me:That sounds like coolness dipped in a fresh pot of awesome-sauce! Dinner shall be served on a plate of finely crafted justice!Viper:Thank you, sweetie! I can't wait!Me:Yeah, me too!Mantis:I feel like I'm in the middle of something here...Calling Your Attacks: It's called flair! And it's not just mine, but I call the Five's moves too! Some of them (Tigress) don't understand things like showmanship or fun, but that's what a leader does!noteTigress:I'd hardly call you our leader, Po. And did you just say what I think you said!?Me:TIIIGREEESSS!You're embarrassing me in front of my new fans!Tigress:Did I? I'm sorry Po. You know I don't like fun of any kind.Me:Oh come on!Me: FEET OF FURY!Also me:VIPER! Puppet of Death!(that one's a personal favorite!)Catchphrase:SKADOOSH!Need I say more?noteMantis:Didn't you make a couple up with Monkey, what about those?Me:...don't tell Monkey.Mantis:Hey since I'm here, how come you get a page and none of us do?Me:I dunno... Dragon Warrior privilege?MantisI feel like that's discrimination. Where's the Mantis representation here?Me:Do you actually want your own page?Mantis:No, but choice would be a fine thing!The Chosen One: Trust me, I didn't believe it myself at first! But I guess Master Oogway saw something in me no one else did. And of course, he was right. That dude's always right, how does he do it?Dark and Troubled Past: My village was attacked and burnt down by Lord Shen when I was still just a baby, my mom died saving me and my father thought he'd lost me. I haven't got the happiest origin story, but then I know plenty more who've had worse, in fact I was able to move on from the trauma pretty quickly, all things considered.Fighting Panda: I mean, kinda goes without saying, right?Finger Poke of Doom: The one and only Wuxi Finger Hold! Did Shifu teach me that? Nope, I figured it out.Fire-Forged Friends: Only in the deep furnace of battle can one achieve friendship as AWESOME as ours! The Five didn't always like the idea of me being the Dragon Warrior, but they soon learned of my inexplicable epicness!Friend to All Children: I love kids, something Monkey, Tigress and I have in common! They love hearing my stories and I love teaching them all about Kung Fu! And I hate seeing them in danger.Good Is Not Soft: Heroes don't kill... unlessnecessary. Tai Lung had to go down (even if I do feel for him) and so did General Kai (he was a total nutjob). Lord Shen pretty much did it to himself, but part of me was kinda hoping he'd listen to me. If he had, I would have forgiven him.Happily Adopted: My dad may be a goose, but he's still my dad and I love him more than a free buffet!noteMr. Ping:Oh, Po! You make me so proud! But why didn't you tell me you're getting your own wing in the museum?! The moms and dads at my Pai Sho game are going to besooojealous! Maybe I'll make a special to promote it at the shop?Me:DAAAAAD!Li Shan:Listen to your Dad, son!Po:DAAAAAAAAAAD!Li Shan:No buts, young man! Now please hurry up with your visit, we're going to the noodles shop for lunch. If you hurry you can join us before the lunch hour's special offer!Mr. Ping:I'm still not happy about that arrangement you know!Me:Gah! Okay, alright, I'll see you there, can you just let me do this now, please?!Mr. Ping:Oh very well Po!(oh god, they're pulling me in for one of their Double Dad Hugs!)Oh, it hurts! So little oxygen!Both:We love you!(Okay they're gone. Let's forget you saw that. Please?)The Heart: Oh, yeah! I'm the gorgeous glue that holds the sacred bonds of our friendship together! In fact, Tigress came out of her shell a little because of me!Humble Hero: I may be the Dragon Warrior, but I'm still the same fanstruck kid I was all those years ago and I still enjoy helping out my dad at the noodle shop when I can. Yeah, there's the occasional tidbit where the fame goes to my head, but I always find a way to ground myself again... or Tigress finds it for me... with her fist.Improv Fu: Only thecreativelycomplex complexities of my merging martial arts can reflect mysensational style!Wow, that's a lot of double letters, there.Kamehame Hadoken: Ah! I can be like RyunoteRyu: Thanks Po. May your training take you farand fire off the Thundering Wind Hammer.Ki Manipulation: Oh! I have this skill! Helped me in redirecting those cannonballs Lord Shen was firing at me.Large Ham: Where?! Oh, right, you're talking about me! Well, yeah, I mean I love a little fun - even in a battle - and I'm not afraid to show off a little, but it's all in good fun. I guess I can go a little too hard sometimes...Last of His Kind:Thankfully not.I thought I was, but there's actually more Pandas out there in China, they just live in seclusion somewhere. You should visit it if you can!Motor Mouth: You're only like the 5000th person to tell me I don't shut up! Hey, I like to get to know people and be social and stuff (I think I was born to entertain!) and some may find it a little annoying, but there are plenty of people who love that about me! Who? Well, uh... You know I think this time, I'll shut up.Nice Guy: I'm not really one to hold a grudge, nor am I one to attack first. I like to get to know people, I love my friends and family and I go pretty crazy over anything Kung Fu related. Also, cooking for my friends and making them laugh is one of my greatest joys.Red Oni, Blue Oni: Hey, it's even an Asian themed one! Me and Tigress fit this pretty well, with me being more laid back and fun-loving while her being...noteTigress:Choose you next words carefully, Po.Me:Tigress, can you PLEASE go on whatever mission you have to go on now?! You're kinda killing the buzz over here.Tigress:Very well, Po. But you'd better watch your step.Me:So serious... and kinda scary too, ominous even......not that!Ship Tease:Guys!You've got my white fur turning red here! Well, I'll admit that part of being the Dragon Warrior involves meeting some pretty sweet ladies, though most of the timeyou're fighting them...Okay, so I'll admit there are times when me and Tigress get a little close, but she's my favorite of the Five!(Don't tell Monkey!)She inspired me to be better than I ever could and she's one of my best friends. I mean there was that whole Midnight Stranger thing... which I'mstillnot sure how to feel about... I guess if you were to really ask me, I don't think I have an answer for how I really feel about her, it's just something I never thought that hard about. Though, just between us - like seriously you can't tell ANYONE - I always did find it kinda coolthat she can beat up bad guys so well and look so good doing it!And if you tellanyoneI said that, I'll just say I didn't and won't you look bad, being a liar. Come on man, nobody likes a liar! Plus she's out right now and she's got no idea this is happening!noteCrane:Po, you do realize our chi is synchronized to yours at the Jade Palace, right? Like, literally everyone can hear this.Me:(gulp)Including Tigress?Crane:Lucky for you, she's somewhere it won't reach her.Po:Well good, then I'm heading to the museum!Crane:Po, you have a class this afternoon! Youcan'tjust-!Me:Can't hear you! Me and my fans are leaving now!Viper and I are pretty close and there's a few moments where we seem to... I don't know, connect? Again, I've never really thought about it. Though now that I am, I can think of a couple of times she kissed me, which Tigress never did. Did I like it? Well... yeah, I guess I did. Uh, feelings, so complicated am I right?I will admit she's pretty cute, though.Oh no, did she hear that?!noteViper:Yes, Po.Me:AAAAH! Oh, Viper, what are you-? Where did you-? Oh, uh, I was just telling my fans about how cool you were, yeah! H-H-Hey did I ever mention how much I love snakes?Viper:(she's smiling at me!)I think you're cute too.Me:No. Way... boy my red fur isn't getting any whiter!Supreme Chef: My dad's the better cook out of both of us, but I learned everything I know from him. In fact, cooking is one of the few talents I had even before I became the Dragon Warrior.Took a Level in Badass: Several times, actually!In my first venture into the wild world of Kung Fu, it didn't take that long for me to get the basics and some pretty advanced stuff down after only a little while training with Master Shifu. I even beat Tai Lung!By the time Shen came back, I'd already mastered Kung Fu and I was easily able to beat back any bad guy with myFEET OF FURY!Then I achieved inner peace...withoutneeding to meditate in a cave for 20 years!Finally, when Kai came knocking, I learned how to be an effective teacher and was gifted with the Hero's Chi! My mastery over it is pretty spectacular and honestly I still have no idea what the full capabilities of it are! Maybe I'll be able to conjure up infinite noodles?!!Trademark Favorite Food:(I'm speaking in sophistication!)We Pandas are of diverse food pallets! We need not limit ourselves to the monotonous repetition of only one food source!Alright, I'll stop now.I guess if you were to really get down to it, I'd probably say dumplings, I'm even holding one in the frame showing my mind-blowing visage! One of my best fights was over a dumpling too, but I think Shifu planned that one. Any others? Well, maybe noodles (which I cook for my friends sometimes) or even radishes (I've literally eaten several crates full of them as a baby). There's probably others, but they're the ones that get my jaws chomping!True Companions: I'm SOOOO lucky to have the friends I have now! The Furious Five are probably the coolest and most loyal friends a Dragon Warrior could ask for!noteCrane:Wings of agreement!Me:Fists of you-guys-are-awesome!Mantis:Antenna of wholesome!Viper:Um... Slither of joy?Crane:Eh, close enough.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Oh! I recall encountering anotherDragon Warriorone time! I really had to fight him so I could see how awesome he was!And what did you know? I won! I bet Master Shifu would be proud of my victory!Underestimating Badassery: My awesomeness is matched only by bad guys' ability to completely write me off. Tai Lung is just one example.Tai Lung:He's a Panda! You're a Panda! What are you gonna do, big guy, sit on me?And just so you know, I actually did sit on him at one point. Mr. I Mastered The Thousand Scrolls wasn't so hot then!World's Best Warrior: Well, maybe that title's a bit of a stretch, but Iamthe legendary Dragon Warrior (or the Warrior of Black and White, as told by the goat lady). Not only does that mean fate chose me to be more awesome than a field of awesomeness grass, but that I would become the greatest of all the great warriors of China (of which there isa lot. I actually made an encyclopedia datingwaaaaayyyback to before the First Dynasty). I'm not really one to gloat though, I feel like the Five or a few others are just as worthy of it.Wow! End of the tour already? I was thinking it would be a whole day thing.Anyway, that's that for this legend of awesomeness! Can't tell you what this means to me (though I guess I just did) and I seriously hope you enjoyed it too! Be sure to tell your friends about it, I'd love to see you all again! This has been so much fun and that new exhibit? Whoo, man, out of this world! But I'd better get back to the Jade Palace before I get in trouble, I've got a class to teach soon.Monkey:Po,YOUate my cookies??!Me:WAAAAH! Monkey! No, uh... it was... one of the... other people.Monkey:The same \"people\" who prefer Tigress over me?Me:Well I don't know who said that, but I for one think you're greater than of all the Five combined!Monkey:Well, okay, but I hope that you...(oh no, he sees the bit about our handshake!)YOU DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE OUR BEST FRIEND HANDSHAKE?! That's it! I'm telling Shifu about our new year party!Me:Well, duty calls, everyone; better get back to the palace!

More importantly, where there's a serious crime involved, we personally intervene. For the last two and a half years, I've spent my time attempting to undercover a conspiracy in Monsters, Incorporated involving a prominent scarer kidnapping children to forcibly extract screams from them. My work led me to the conspirator's instigation, one Randall Boggs. But I never would have guessed that this led all the way up to the company's CEO, Henry James Waternoose III, all thanks to the top scare team at the company accidentally intercepting a human girl that got loose in our world. And to think, Sullivan and Wazowski all ended up under my watch because they caused trouble in college.

I know, that's what it says on the cover, butCovers Always Lie. I'm Alcatraz Smedry, and I'm the real author of this series.I always tell the truth.Except when I lie. The reason it says \"Brandon Sanderson\" on the cover is because otherwise the Librarians would never allow it to be published. Brandon Sanderson has agreed to use his name as a cover for these series. He also writes a lot of his own books, but they are mostly a bunch of made-up fantasy stories aboutmist,storms,wheelsand other suchsillystuff. I've taken a look at some of his books, and most of them are really long, really big, and would make for a goodDoorstopper, or maybe a blunt weapon.The books I write are not overly long, and they are not fantasy, though we have to hide them in the fantasy section of bookstores and libraries. Neither are they, despite what others may have told you, light-hearted comedic fantasy books for children and young adults that can also be enjoyed by adults with a good sense of humor. Instead, they are serious, completely true books about politics, economics, history and my adventures fighting the Evil Librarian Cult that rules most of the world (The Hushlands) and is trying to take over the rest of the world (The Free Kingdoms).What, you mean you don't believe that the Hushlands are controlled by an Evil Librarian Cult that uses its monopoly on information to manipulate the world into believing a bunch of lies? Well, just look at what they call themselves.Lie-brarians. Kind of obvious, isn't it?Anyway, about me: I look like a normal, ordinary American kid, but I'm not normal. I'm a Smedry. (I know, the last name kind of gives it away.) The Smedries are a highly respected family in The Free Kingdoms; so respected that knights and such tend to call us lords and do what we say, even if we tell them to hop on one foot. One of the reasons we are respected is that we all have special Talents. For example, my grandfather is always late, one of my relatives is good at talking nonsense, I have an uncle that is really good at getting lost, and a cousin of mine is really ugly when she gets up in the morning.My Talent is breaking things. Doorknobs are my specialty, but I can break everything from a chicken to an airplane. I'll probably break this Web site a few times, so if you see something broken, there isn't much point in trying to fix it because I'll probably break it again. I know that doesn't sound like much of a talent, but consider what would happen if someone tries to shoot a gun at me. The gun would break before it could even shoot.Anyway, I'd tell you more, but if I tell you too much, you won't need to buy my books. Make sure you buy my books.

We are walking corpses akin to creatures in a humanoid form that never age and are granted a variety of powers. However in return, we must subsist on blood,human bloodbeing our usual course via biting our targets with our fangs, though apparently, we can also get by on animals. Stories tend to be vague about such things. Hmm, human food? I cannot say if I do eat it, though most point out that I cannot.I know I never drink ...wine. How I came to be like this is a mystery from the original story I came from, the most knowledge I know states at the least I hail from the Ottoman Empire and studied under the black arts which may be the cause of my... condition. There are also some rumors I am really Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler, a Wallachian prince known for his brutality.(Chuckles)However while flattered, there is no proof of this. While I do come from a wealthy upbringing (Note the \u201cCount\u201d in the title), that is just a theory at best. Though I am proud of the lineage that I come from. The peasants in the surrounding areas are certainly aware of this and do well to respect this should I have a need to come \u201cvisit\u201d them.My debut story, as documented by one Abraham Stoker (aka Bram Stoker), takes place in the 19th century in which the industrial age was long thriving. Having stayed within my castle for many a century and feeding on the villages of the land. I decided for a change of scenery and used my wealth to buy a run-down former cathedral named Carfax Abby. A young Englishman realtor name Johnathan Harker had arrived to foresee the transaction. Ah, it had been so long to have someone new in my castle. He was wonderful company, but I knew he would likely not respond well to what I truly was and I couldn't have him warning the world. So I kept him in my castle till the transaction was complete and left him to my three female vampire companions (often known as my wives or \u201cbrides\u201d) while I absconded to London to set up the seeds of my new kingdom. There was even a lovely housewarming gift in the form of a young girl named Lucy Westenra who slept walk near my area the night I arrived. What fortune, my first foreign victim. I had to cut the feeding short as her friend, a one Mina Murray, had come looking for her. Though Lucy was already affected by the vampire curse by then.Over the following days, I acquainted myself with the new era while likewise continuing to feed on Ms. Westenra, hoping soon to have my first bride on this land. However, I was soon challenged as the doctor treating her, a one John Seward, called in his mentor, a one Professor Abraham Van Helsing to look into her treatment. To my surprise, he likewise studied the occult, knew about vampyr, and knew what was happening to her.(Sneers)It was my hope that this new land didn't know of such knowledge to ward off my kind, and yet here this man was able to and taught it to his surrounding party. Luckily by then, I had already affected Ms. Westenra enough thanks to the help of an insane asylum resident named Renfield who removed the ward in exchange for wanting to \u201ceat life\u201d itself. Eventually, I managed to triumph over those opposing me by fully draining my target, killing her, and sending her on the path of joining the glorious ranks of the undead.Alas, it was short-lived, as I had begun to start finding another bride (that I may or may not have turned, the documents don't' say and my memory is... hazy). Helsing and his allies confronted and killed Ms. Westenra for good just as she rose as a vampire and was beginning to start inflicting vampirism on young children. What's more, Harker had escaped my \u201cwives\u201d and returned to the mainland to tell of what he witnessed as I feared. Leading the hunters to Carfax Abby and burning down the essential coffins of dirt I had to prevent me from housing there further. Sensing this, I went to take the fight directly to them, attacking Mina, who in turn was also Harker's newly beloved wife, and giving her a different type of vampirism by both biting her and feeding her my blood, ensuring that she'd turn without the need for me to finish feeding on her as long I still lived, then absconding back to my castle in Transylvania. With my powers, I could surely outpace my enemies before Mina became a vampyr.(Frowns)But in my zeal, I once again underestimated Van Helsing's cunning and tenacity, he used hypnotism on her to link a connection to me and track me back to Transylvania. Even when I arrived back at my home where my powers were strong enough to block her out, they had enough information to continue their dogged pursuit. My wives and servants tried to protect me, but to no avail and eventually, I met my pitiable \u201cend\u201d in my final coffin before I could even arise to confront them. My only solace is that one of their own (a one, Quincy Harker) died in the process of trying to reach me.Hmm? So how am I here if I'm truly dead? The public consciousness seemed very enthralled at my tale and, while there was never an official sequel written by Mr. Stoker, other writers have taken up the task often having me return in some fashion and seek revenge for my previous loss against those that slayed me. If not that, then their descendants at least. Eventually, I became so well known I've transcended into the public domain with a bevy of writers putting me in different tales as well as recounting the story I began from. I could go all night about it, but we only have so little time, I'm certain there'sa page here that lists my appearances. This page is just meant for my first novel appearance and some of its adaptations.(Chuckles)So it seems I am immortal after all, at least in a different sense.(Wolf howls)Ah the tropes of the night, what wonderful information they make.Affably Evil: Through Mr. Harker's time with me, I treated him warmly, sharing my history and local cuisine. But I cannot nor won't deny what I am, an undead monster underneath. When he cut himself shaving, it took all my willpower to keep from attacking him outright. I still needed him for my transaction.Ambiguously Bi: Scholars speculate this of me. While I do usually go after women, I'm not above courting men either. Of course, at times this was seen in a negative light and meant to add to my monstrosity. It seems in recent eras, humans have come around to bisexuality now. So I suppose this is just viewed as quaint to most readers these days.Arch-Enemy: Hmph, I hardly consider them my arch-enemies, but I do recognize the hunters as a threat. Van Helsing has especially been singled out as my main foe due to his knowledge of the undead. Of course, I could kill him easily if we did have a direct confrontation in the book. But he was wise enough not to do so, advising the other to catch me in my coffin and weakened by sunlight to dispatch me.Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: My brides, while they do serve me, aren't above disobeying me. I strictly warned them not to engage Mr. Harker before the transaction and they nearly spoiled my plans before it can begin. Mocking me further that I've \u201cnever loved\u201d after I've stopped them.(Shakes head)I suppose it can't be helped, they are free to hunt at their leisure, of course, that freedom would go to their heads. But nevertheless, they know what I am capable of and they understand not to overstep their bounds. While not stated, I do admit a part of my black heart still does care for them. I kept my promise to give them Mr. Harker after I left for London and, if their attempt to sway Mrs. Murray to my side is any indication, they feel the same... possibly.Back from the Dead: Sequel books and media usually see me always come back despite me turning into a skeleton after being killed. Usually due to ritual spells.Beam Me Up, Scotty!: Despite what you humans believe, I have never spoken inVampire Vordsin the books - that aspect mostly comes fromBela Lugosi's iteration of me. I have also never said, \"I vant to suck your blood\" at all, and... I cannot believe I agreed withAdam Sandler's portrayal, but I do not say \"bleh-bleh-bleh.\"The Beastmaster: Controlling animals is well within my power, wolves seem to be especially susceptible to me.Breaking and Bloodsucking:(Chuckles)Ah Ms. Westenra, one of my better feastings. Despite her suitors' attempts at stopping me, I ultimately managed to drain her completely over three nights and claimed her by the fourth day. I do wish I could've added her mother to my ranks as well but a heart attack prevented this. When the hunters dared to defy me to avenge their fallen maiden, I dispensed with the pleasantries and attacked Mrs. Murray outright while they were destroying my coffins, cursing her with vampirism by having her drink my blood, taking some of hers and dooming her to a life as a vampire unless I was killed.Complete Monster: Label me as such if you will. I hardly concern myself with the opinions of mere humans.The Corrupter: A pre-date example, but victims who die under my bite are instantly corrupted into a being they weren't in life. Ms. Westerna, for example, was a normal sweet girl when she was human. Once she joined the undead, she displayed a more lustful, sexual side to her, using her beauty to lure in and bite children and even her intended betrothed, Arthur Holmwood. A truly splendid sight. Mrs. Murray likewise was nearly swayed into joining my brood as well. Alas, the hunters managed to counter this, warding off and killing the former to \u201cbring her soul peace\u201d and preventing the latter's transformation with my \u201cdeath\u201d.Corrupt the Cutie: It is noted that the people that I turn into vampires are women, petite ones at that. My tastes tend to be extraneous, the girls just happen to be in my vicinity when I hunt. While the curse does indeed turn my targets into people they clearly weren't, it is a necessary instinct to make sure they survive their new changes.Daywalking Vampire: Mmm a fact that seems to have gotten lost in time and media depictions. But no, sunlight doesn't kill me. Its rays merely prevent me from using my powers, making me no more powerful than a normal human. If I'm in a certain form I cannot shift back till nightfall. If one wonders why I sleep during the daytime, again the shifting issue plus even the undead must rest.Eats Babies: Blood is blood to a vampire no matter the age, granted in the book I don't partake in feeding on a baby, but apparently had kidnapped one to feed to my brides (The documents reframe from any details). The only proof of such is that the child's mother showed up to reclaim him. As she was trespassing, I had the local wolves deal with her.Fountain of Youth: Due to centuries of living as an undead, my olden form is the most I can maintain. Trust me, if I was my true age I'd be a walking skeleton. So when I feed on a target, I can regain my youthful looks.Game Face: A reminder that vampires are creatures in humanoid form. So when I give in to my bloodlust, my facial features tend to become more feral. I'm sure your imagination can put together a suitable picture.(Chuckles).Haunted Castle: A correct assumption should you see my family's dwelling. Likely due to the black arts I've practiced, the castle is filled with the supernatural. To the point, the villagers nearby try to avoid it at all costs as they will surely never be heard from again if they enter it. I must commend Mr. Harker for managing to survive his visit with his humanity and sanity intact.Hoist by His Own Petard: Again I underestimated that crone professor, using hypnotism on Mrs. Murray to track my whereabouts through our connection. Very clever.Holy Burns Evil:(Frowns)Loathe as a proud warrior as I hate to admit it, vampirism isn't invincible. One such weakness being crosses and holy items like water and wafers. As a long-lived vampire, I havesomeimmunity to it, but recent undead of my kind do not.Immune to Bullets: While I don't come from a time when such weaponry existed, guns and bullets have no effect on me. My body is already dead after all and I can heal faster than the damages they cause.Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: I meet my end in the document by being stabbed in the heart and neck due to being unable to move as I was resting. A crude way of dispatching me, but I will commend the hunters for taking the advantage.Mind-Control Eyes: One look into my eyes and I can control a human quite freely. As I'm sure you can imagine, it makes hunting for blood much simpler.Missing Reflection: Part of the setback to being a vampire is that I have no reflection. Apparently something about \"God not recognizing me as human since I have no soul\" or some religious nonsense. This does make it easier to sneak up on targets as I surprised Mr. Harker by doing this as he was shaving.Mysterious Past: Other than studying black magic, everything leading to the present day of the story is untold. Maybe I was Vlad Tepes, maybe not. Nor how my \"brides\" came to be with me. It is, as humans say, aRiddle for the Ages.Old, Dark House: My second dwelling when coming to London, Carfax Abby was an old dilapidated building barely standing. It was perfect for a creature of my being, big enough to be similar to my castle, but unassuming enough that no one would suspect it. At least until Mr. Harker managed to return and point this out to the other hunters, resulting in burning it down to prevent me from coming back. Such a pity, an architect like that deserved better.Our Vampires Are Different: Ah yes, I have heard there are different species of my kind. But my story is the one that put some of these traits in the public eye, pre-dating what came before. For the most part, I have the strength of 20 men, I can control animals, and weather and turn myself into animals as well as fly. As for the vampirism process, contrary to what is believed, my bite is what initiates the vampire curse, and dying from it starts the transformation. Blood sharing is just a secondary form of it. Largely if I intend to inflict a slow transformation to spite my enemies. It's not exactly graceful and leaves me without a meal, but suffices if speed is necessary.The Power of Blood: Ah the elixir of life, I need it to sustain myself as do any of my kind. It also allows me my powers as well such as changing my appearance.Really 700 Years Old: I have lived countless centuries than the pitiable lives of you humans. Seeing empires rise and fall, technology progress, both the good and the folly of humans. Some say this is part of the curse of the undead as an unnatural life such as this is unholy. I am not inclined to agree or disagree, but as long as I live, I will continue to survive and witness the blinks of time as I do so.Red Eyes, Take Warning: When the time comes to partake in blood, my eyes are known to go bloodshot (Or glow, depending on the adaptation). And I assure you I won't be stopped until I have fed when this happens!Sympathy for the Devil: According to the documents, Mrs. Murray actually pitied me, thinking my soul suffering countless decades of committing horrible atrocities in the name of my unnatural survival. Well, I say she was a fool for thinking that but...(Shakes head and waves on to the next trope).Super Toughness: Save stakes and holy items, blunt weapons are useless on me. Mr. Harker, unknowing of the stake solution at the time, found my resting place while exploring the castle and attempted to strike me with a shovel. It only left a small bruise on my forehead that quickly healed. I would've retaliated for that transgression, but the sun was still up at the time and I cannot move when I am in my coffin. He wisely fled from the area and I focused my concern on the trip to London.Uncertain Doom: The woman I was following in the middle of the story the Mina happened to notice. It's never revealed what happened to her. I likely made her into a vampire when I could strike.(Smirks)Again I'll allow your imagination to create what became of that scenario.Undeath Always Ends: Vampirism may change a human into a much superior creature with powers. But it only prolongs one's lifespan while halting aging (or in my case, reversing it when I feed). It's not invincible and can be ended easily by a stake through the heart.Undeathly Pallor: Not uncommon among the vampyr, we do drain the lifeblood from our victim's body and resurrect them later with our curse. Again, they are walking corpses, after all, one should be thankful they don't rot like zombies.Vampires Are Rich: I was already part of a wealthy dynasty and had accumulated a vast fortune over the centuries to easily buy a house in London. My memory isn't what it used to be however and I often have to use Will O' Wisps to track where I've stashed my horde.Vampires Are Sex Gods: Hmph, modern eras seem to think this of me due to adaptations casting young handsome-looking men to play the role. In truth, however, I was no more than a wild animal when biting my targets. But I won't attest to such a thought. It will make it easy for me to hunt.Vampire's Harem: This has been...contested in recent times. While yes I do have three women in my castle. It is never clarified what their relationship is to me, evenIhave forgotten. Some speculate they're just three simple victims I turned long ago, others figure they could be my daughters and wife due to two of them having similar noses to me while the blonde is much more different and allowed the first bite at Mr. Harker. Regardless they are the only other vampiric residents there besides myself.Vampires Sleep in Coffins: Somewhat. When I must rejuvenate my power, I sleep in boxes of dirt from my homeland (apparently an old folklore that vampires can't travel without dirt from where they were born, it's why I sent so many boxes to London). Since the boxes need to be human-sized, they're usually depicted as coffins. Media has expanded this since then to be lavish coffins for me to rest in.Vampire Monarch: While I am only shown asserting my power over the three women in my castle. There is no mistake I am the undisputed head of the castle and all who are turned under my bite come under my power.Voluntary Shapeshifting: But of course, I can shift to a bat, wolf, and mist. Likely others as well but media make these my common transformations.Wall Crawl: Gravity is nothing but a mere trifle with me as I can scale my castle walls to reach other areas within it with ease. Mr. Harker apparently saw this after I had a talk in his bedroom. Maybe I was careless about allowing him to witness this, but then again I had no intention of letting him leave regardless.Was Once a Man: Speculated, but I certainly wasn't born a vampire and my knowledge extends to the Ottoman Empire and medieval eras. It's never revealed how I came to become a vampyr, but Helsing suspects it was the black arts I studied.(A grandfather clock chimes the dawn hour)Hmm, it seems sunlight is upon us, so I must depart to my coffin and rest. Please exit freely as you have come. Hmm, why am I sparing you? I have no desire to feed on someone seeking knowledge. Besides, the more the world knows about me, the more they know what I'm capable of. The more they know of the terror that I and my kind bring, the more I will never truly be gone no matter how many stakes they stick in me. I. will. ALWAYS. RETURN!Till then, good day sir and/or madam. Enjoy the daylight... while you can.(He floats off into the shadows as we leave and the castle doors close on their own)"} {"text": "The all handsome ME(This page is best read in the voice ofZachary Gordon)First of all, let me get something straight: This is a SELF DEMONSTRATING article, not a diary....or a journal. Yeah, weird. TV Tropes is making me write one of this for some reason. I only agreed to do this at all because I guess it would make me rich and famous! This is definitely gonna be handy.Anyhoo, my name is Greg Heffley. I will be famous one day, but now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons. I already record my life in a journal (IT'S NOT A DIARY!), but I figured this could be my SECOND autobiography. After all, I will be famous one day. Did I mention that? Ah well...I have an older brother named Rodrick and a little brother named Manny. I also have perfectly normal parents and I'm living a perfectly normal life...for now. I also have a friend named Rowley (Rowley: Yay, I'm in this! Greg: Y'know, I could just change your name to Rupert. Now go away). Yeah, I don't like to talk about them that much. They're not important.Usually, I'm playing video games at my house (especially Twisted Wizard, I'm an expert at that game) until my parents kick me out and make me do something else. I also hang out with Rowley quite a bit (HANG OUT, NOT PLAY!)Sometime, this guy named Jeff Kinney STOLE MY JOURNAL and published it as a webcomic on Funbrain.com, then as a book. Unfortunately for me, I didn't become famous. That was an alternate world. But hey, I am famous in there. There are 17 books from each one of my 17 journals and they are a hit. One of the biggest book series of all time. They've been adapted into four live-action movies, two animated movies onDisney+, even a stage musical. Rowley even has his own spinoff series, but I don't like how he portrays me as a bigger jerk than I actually am. I just wish the people in MY world knew about it, because this is kind of COOL.\"Tropes\" (I don't know what that word means) that apply to me.Adaptational Nice Guy: I guess I was a little nicer in the movies. To be fair, a lot of people were a lot nicer to movie-me than they are to me, so it makes sense.Affection-Hating Kid: Even when I was growing inside my mom,I hated being constantly subjected to my parents getting all mushy. And whenever my relatives kiss me, I'm paranoid that they'll start spreading germs.Anti-Hero: Ok, so maybe I'm kind of a jerk, but I am the main character.Asshole Victim: Nope. I don't deserve anything that happens to me. I'm pretty much one of the best people I know.Attention Whore: I guess I'd be less of a jerk if more people liked me, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get people's attention.Berserk Button: A lot of things can tick me off, ESPECIALLY if you call my journal a \"diary\".Book Dumb: I guess I could study harder and get better grades, but if you want to see a dumb guy, look at Rodrick.Brutal Honesty: Most people don't seem to appreciate a person as honest as me. So don't ask me how George Washington ever got to be president.Butt-Monkey: Oh yeah. It seems like the whole world just HAS it for me. I mean, I get that I'm in middle school, but can you mellow out a bit, world?Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Pretty much. It's super lame and incredibly frustrating when you take everything my brothers get away with into account.Casanova Wannabe: Nope. I am great with girls. I only fail because of bad luck.Cool Loser: Everybody thinks I'm a dork, but I'm super-cool. Even cooler thanthat kid from Bluffington. I'm pretty sure he copied my idea of having a journal to write in.Deadpan Snarker: Yeah, right. Like I would actually say something sarcastic!Dirty Coward: Ok, so maybe I am a wimp, butIt Runs in the Family\u2014when Heffleys get in trouble, Heffleys RUN.The Ditz: Hey, it's not my fault. Believe it or not, my dad took down the morning chart. No way I would put my socks over my shoes.Does Not Like Spam: I HATE watercress salad, asparagus, oatmeal raisin cookies, and deviled eggs that aren't made by my grandma.Embarrassing Nickname: \"Bubby\". When my little brother Manny was younger, he couldn't say \"brother\", so he called me \"Bubby\" instead. I managed to keep it a secret until he blurted it out at the school play, but I did some quick ad-libbing and deflected the embarrassment over to Archie Kelly.Enraged by Idiocy: Rowley is technically my best friend, but that is definitely subject to change. Ever since I first met him, he's been doing things that annoyed me. Honestly, sometimes I just don't know about that boy.Everyone Has Standards: Rodrick is a real jerk, but I didn't want him to flunk out of school. I helped him with his science project, and when he passes science, I hope he realizes how lucky he is to have a brother like ME.I thought that \"hero point\" system was really dumb, but at the same time, those jerks getting that kid (who I'll admit is actually a good guy) in serious trouble even though he earned those points legitimately made me mad.My little brother can bewayworse than me on a bad day; sometimes even I'm disturbed by how callous he is.Fatal Flaw: Sure, sometimes I do stupid things that get me in trouble, and maybe I can be a jerk at times, but I'm pretty much one of the best people I know.Freudian Excuse: Maybe I am a jerk, but I blame my parents (who love Manny more than me) and Rodrick (who's more of a jerk than me).Hates Everyone Equally: Everyone I know has seriously got some issues.Heavy Sleeper: I do love my after-school naps. The only one who loves sleeping more than I do is Rodrick.Hopeless Suitor: I have some really bad luck with girls. Anyone who would mistake me for Fregley has seriously got something wrong with them.I Just Want to Be Special: I mean, c'mon. I just want to fit in, and that's why I act like such a jerk.Insistent Terminology: It's a JOURNAL, not a diary. And when you're in middle school you have to say \"hang out\", not \"play\".It's All About Me: Well, duh.Jerkass: What do you mean I'm mean? Sure I may be a bit coarse, but like I said before, I'm pretty much one of the best people I know.Jock Dad, Nerd Son: My dad wants me to \"man up\" and do sports instead of playing video games all day. Once, he even tried to ship me off to military school.Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films: I learned this lesson the hard way. One time when Rowley slept over, we found a horror movie in Rodrick's junk drawer. Neither of us had actually seen a horror movie before, so we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The movie was about this muddy hand that goes around the country killing people. I spent the whole summer worrying about the muddy hand.Another time, I had to help Rodrick out with his science fair project, which was called \"Does Watching Violent Movies Make People Think Violent Thoughts?\". I think it was really just an excuse for Rodrick and his friends to watch horror movies on school nights. I tried to imagine what a teenager might draw after watching a horror movie, but when Mom saw my drawings, she thought they were \"disturbing\". And that's why I was only allowed to watch G-rated movies for the rest of the year.But if you want to see \"disturbing\", you should see what Manny was coming up with those days. Rodrick must've left one of his movies in the DVD player, because one day when Manny went to turn on cartoons, he got Rodrick's movie instead. I've seen the pictures Manny drew after that, and some of them are enough to give ME nightmares.Loser Protagonist: I rock at video games, but I stink at everything else. You'd think that since I'm the main character, things would turn out better for me.Middle Child Syndrome: It stinks being the middle child, constantly getting tormented by Rodrick and ignored by my parents, who love Manny more than me.Narcissist: Yeah, I will be famous one day. It's the main reason I agreed to write in that stupid journal.Never My Fault: Yeah, nothing's my fault. People are out to get me.No Infantile Amnesia: I remember pretty much everything that ever happened to me, even before I was born.Not Allowed to Grow Up: To be honest with you, I feel like I've been stuck in middle school FOREVER.The Prankster: I'm always playing hilarious pranks on Rowley. Sometimes when we hang out together, we play hilarious pranks on his dad.Small Name, Big Ego: I'll be famous one day, just you wait.The Sociopath: Woah, calm down. I AMJust a Kidafter all. There are far worse characters that fit this trope, like thatoverweight kid who needs some real counselingorthat nutball from that anime-style fighting gameorthat pink-haired psycho with her own diary that can predict the future (man, why can't I have of those?). My little brother, on the other hand...Spiders Are Scary: If I were a character inCharlotte's Web, it would have been a very short book.Surrounded by Idiots: I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons.Sweet Tooth: I can't function properly without a sugary snack in my lunch. I guess I inherit it from my dad\u2014when it comes to junk food, he's a total ADDICT.Terrified of Germs:Whenever my relatives kiss me, I get paranoid that they'll start spreading germs.I'd be willing to try my mom's potato salad if it wasn't served in the same bowl that she uses when one of us kids has the flu.Toxic Friend Influence: Rowley's parents hate me and seem to think I'm a bad influence on Rowley.The Unfavorite: It's really annoying seeing Manny get special treatment because he's the youngest. Especially since even when Iwasthe youngest, I didn't get treated as well as he did. See, when you're a little kid, no one warns you that you've got an expiration date. One day you're hot stuff and the next day you're a dirt sandwich.Unreliable Narrator: Nah, everything I say is the truth. I blame people like Rodrick for making you idiots believe this.Unusual Euphemism: I'm not allowed to swear because Manny was picking up bad habits, so me and Rodrick came up with a bunch of code words that meant the same thing as the banned words, like \"Spooky stork!\" and \"Raspberry plastic tickle bear!\"Well, it looks like I'm out of paper, so I guess this is THE END."} {"text": "(For best effect, read this in the voices ofBoris Karloff,Hans Conried,Jim Carrey, orBenedict Cumberbatch)My quitehandsomemug when I'm well-satisfied.

The first movie of yours truly showed that the rest of the townhated my gutsfrom the moment I walked out in public, and they practically became a bunch ofmiserable little misers, so I had a good reason tostealfrom them. The second one, it turns out, was a pretty traumatized guy, left all alone with no one but himself.

Known to make a definition of everything that the viewers could or could not understand. But that is not important right now, because, on this page, I will tell you about my personal life and how I track down the Baudelaire orphans.My story begins with an organization called the V.F.D. About a decade ago, I was attending the opera with my friends, Beatrice Baudelaire, Count Olaf, his father, and Esme Squalor. During the show, I plotted to steal the Sugar Bowl with Beatrice because we need it for the cure for the Medusoid Mycelium. The Medusoid Mycelium is a dangerous spore that could kill people. It was developed by Gregor Anwhistle, head of the Anwhistle Aquatics.Unfortunately, I really wished that we didn't steal it as it caused Esme to try and kill us with poisonous darts, and before long, Beatrice accidentally killed Olaf's father, which started Olaf's descent into villainy.Following the murder, I offer to take the blame so Beatrice can go into hiding. Except, Olaf has figured out that Beatrice was the one who killed his father, and eventually, he murdered Beatrice and her husband by setting their house on fire.And so, the Baudelaire orphans were forced into a life of dangerous adventures with several guardians, friendly faces, and dangerous enemies.This is everything that is related to meBroken Ace: I might be a competent V.F.D. member but years of being on the run have turned me into a cynical individual.Deadpan Snarker: Not that you can tell...The Eeyore: Years on the run have diminished my confidence.Faking the Dead: I faked my death so I can go on the run. My family is the only one who knows that I'm alive.Irony: In a cruel way, even though I faked my death, I became the last member of the V.F.D. with every other member, including my own family, either killed, went missing, or perished in the Hotel Denouemont fire.It's All My Fault: I blamed myself for starting the schism between the fire-starters and fire-fighters of the V.F.D. all because I and Beatrice needed the Sugar Bowl to cure the Medusoid Mycelium."} {"text": "For best experience, read this in the voice ofJohn Rhys-Davies.Hoom, hm! Let us not be hasty, young Tropers.Who am I? Some call me an Ent.TheEnt, I am, you might say, in your manner of speaking.Fangornis my name according to some (Sphangornoin Old Sindarin spokenbefore the sun and moon appeared and the rebel Noldor came out east),Treebeardothers make it. I will not tell you my real name, not yet at any rate. For one thing,it would take a very long while to say it, like saying anything in my language \u2014 Old Entish, you may call it.I dwell on the land they callMiddle-Earth, where I walked in the willow-meads of Tasarinan and the elm-woods of Ossiriand and trough the beeches of Neldoreth, but now I walk in my very own domain, the Fangorn Forest, that is named after me. I guard the trees of the forest, for we, the Ents, are the Shepherds of Trees. We do not care about the business of others, for nobody really cares about us. But when two young hobbits arrived to my forest and told me about the evil deeds of \u2014bur\u00e1rum\u2014 the wizard Saruman, I summoned the Entmoot and we marched to Isengard and brought it down! For there is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for such treachery!You may read about me ina bookwritten by the youngJ. R. R. Tolkien. Or, if youareone of the hasty folks, you may watchthe filmsof youngPeter Jackson.But let us see the tropes now. Room tum, room tum, how did they go?Awakening the Sleeping Giant: I was not concerned by the wars of wizards, men and elves for a long time. Only when I learned about Saruman's treachery did I summon my fellow Ents and marched to Isengard, flooding the place and destroying Saruman's armies.Baritone of Strength: Young Tolkien describes my voice sounding like a very deep wood-wind instrument, and when someone threatens my forest, I am a force to be reckoned with, one might say.Berserk Button: I hate those \u2014bur\u00e1rum\u2014 those wood-chopping, tree-killing Orcs!Beware the Nice Ones: I am usually peaceful and seldom hasty. But when I get \u2014bur\u00e1rum\u2014 when I get angry, then I am a force to be reckoned with.Constantly Curious: I lived for very long, but it seems there are always new things in the world to learn. When I first met the hobbits, I wanted to learn everything about them.Curb-Stomp Battle: When we marched to Isengard, Saruman and his orcs did not stand a chance.Evil Knockoff:Hoom, hm! Not me or my fellow Ents but those \u2014bur\u00e1rum\u2014 trolls created by Morgoth. They are but an inferior copy much like the orcs are inferior version of the elves. Why Saruman decided to follow the ways of Morgoth and his disciple Sauron I will never know....More power?!Hoom, hm! That was folly. Sauron's promises are as hollow as his master's were.Gaia's Vengeance: When Saruman and his orcs threatened my forest and destroyed many, many trees, we, the Ents marched to Isengard and brought them down!Gentle Giant: We Ents are larger than most people on Middle-Earth. But we hurt nobody, unless they hurt the trees!Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom: In Old Entish, names tell the stories of the things and people they belong to. As I grow older, my true name is growing all the time with it. Lotus blossoms, though, were more the Entwives' field of expertise.Neutral No Longer: For a while, I was on nobody's side, because nobody was on my side. But when Saruman and his -bur\u00e1rum- his orcs destroyed the trees in Isengard and in my woods, I summoned the Entmoot and we marched to Isengard tohave our revenge.Only Known By His Nickname: As my name takes very long to say, hasty folks like hobbits only call me Fangorn or Treebeard.Overly Long Name: My real name is like a story. It includes everything I did in my life. And since I lived very long, my name takes a very long while to say.Plant Person: I look a lot like those trees I am guarding.This Is Unforgivable!: There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for Saruman's treachery. The only thing we, Ents could do is destroying Isengard.Time Abyss: I've lived a very long, long time. I am one of the oldest beings on Middle-Earth, you might say. Older than the wizards, older than most elves (except for the ferryman named C\u00edrdan), and nearly as old as my fellow forest-guardian Tom Bombadil.Treants: At first look, you might mistake me for a tree. In your manner of speaking, the shepherd becomes like his sheep, you might say. Hoom, hm.Verbal Tic: One might say, I tend to say \"hoom, hm\" a lot. But let us not be hasty! I also often saybur\u00e1rumwhen I think of something that makes me angry.When Trees Attack:I am not a tree, I am an Ent! But not only do we, Ents, resemble trees, but we also guard trees that can get a voice and learn to walk, and march with us to Isengard to fight Saruman's forces.Wait. Books are made fromwhat? Bur\u00e1rum."} {"text": "Helloooooooooooooooooooo!

The head of the Slytherin house, a former Slytherin, mentor to Draco Malfoy, and the closest confidant to Albus Dumbledore... The head of Hogwarts... And my mentor...My life, as you can see, hasn't always been a straight line... For as you know, I am quite ruthless and serious when it comes to teaching at Hogwarts... As such, everyone feared me with great contempt...But I do not mind it at all... For as a teacher, it is my duty to keep everyone disciplined at all time...

I manage to become the most talented potion maker of all time... That I kept a copy of my own Advanced Potion-Making for future purposes... Unfortunately, this leads to Potter using it against me...After I graduated from Hogwarts, I joined Voldemort on his crusade against Hogwarts... But when I learned that he wants to kill Lily and her family since Harry was the chosen one... I immediately switched sides... Yet in the end, it was too late... She's gone... Forever...In the following years, I finally declared myself as a double agent for both Dumbledore and Hogwarts to keep the Death Eaters at bay... And keeping Potter safe all these years...One day, everything changes, during the philosopher stone incident... I remember it quite well... It was the beginning of another study year at Hogwarts where new generations of students arrived... Among them are the infamous three: Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and of course, the so-called chosen one... Harry Potter...During the first years, I taught the students how to brew potions... I also taught them how to bewitch the minds, ensnare their senses, bottle fame, brew glory, and put a stopper in deaths... It was also here that I noticed how unskilled Potter is in following my lessons...A few days later, things have gotten interesting at Hogwarts... Particularly how Potter manage to earn a spot at the Quidditch games... However, something had happened in the game... As I watched in terror, someone had jinxed his broom mid-game, and despite my cold exterior, I cast a counter spell in order to prevent him from losing... Unfortunately for me, Miss Granger thought that I was the one who jinxed it... As such, she cast a flame spell on my cape... To protect her friend...

I was, after all, relieved that Starfleet had not lost a highly efficient captain.Ambadassador: Though I left Starfleet to pursue a life of peace-making, I am still fully capable of defending myself if necessary.Arranged Marriage: I was betrothed by my family when I was seven years old. My intended bride and I parted under less-than-positive circumstances. (I believe this is what humans refer to as \"anunderstatement\".)Back from the Dead: I was resurrected with the help of the Genesis planet, which is recorded inStar Trek III: The Search for Spock.Badass Pacifist: Though my Vulcan teachings have led me to avoid violence whenever necessary, I do not concede in the face of danger. You may wish to discuss withthe Decepticon's former second in commandhow his inability torecognize logicfailed to serve him properly.noteStarscream::YOU FOOLISH VULCAN! How DARE you insult me! Rest assured, when I free myself from these chains, I will personally DESTROY YOUR HOMEWORLD!!!Baritone of Strength: In my elder years, my vocal cords registered at a deeper tone.Beware the Nice Ones: Ordinarily, I am a vegetarian, astoic, and aTechnical Pacifist. However, undoing my emotional control or forcing me to do my duty in protecting Captain Kirk is...unwise.Bizarre Alien Biology: The fact that my physiology differs from that of humans (notably, the location of my heart and liver) pleases me to no end. And my inner-eyelids certainly proved to be extremely convenient on one occasion.Blue-Green Blood: The meaning of this idiomatic term is implied to be accurate. My father is a prestigious Federation ambassador and T'Pau, one of the most powerful people on Vulcan, officiates at (what should have been) my marriage.Boomerang Bigot: While it is true I have human blood, I much preferred to be associated with Vulcan for much of my life, perhaps due to my relationship with my father and theFantastic RacismI experienced whilst growing up on Vulcan. This altered in my later years.Catchphrase:I frequently use the term \"Fascinating\", in conjunction with aFascinating Eyebrow.I also use the traditional Vulcan salutation \"Live long and prosper\" in conjunction withthe accompanying gesture.Character Development: Why, of course. If there ever was a universal constant that I have encountered throughout my travels with theEnterprise, it is that all living beings learn and change through lived experience. You might even say that this change is the essential process of all existence. As for myself, the lesson I need to understand was that logic merely represents the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.Character Tics: I tend to raise one eyebrow if I am curious, intrigued, or believe someone is being irrational. This is normal for my species, however, so I would not technically describe it as a \"tic\".The Comically Serious: Given my lack of emotions andfrequentmisunderstandings, I found myself creating merriment.Court-martialed: I found myself on trial for traveling to Talos 4. I admit that I expected this, butwhat I did was necessary to help Captain Pike.The Creon: I only took command of theEnterprisewhen Kirk waspromoted, and returned the position when the opportunity arose. Additionally, despite being already a captain and in command of theEnterprise, I never received my own commission: I kept my position as first-officer under Kirk.Subordinate Excuse: There are some who theorize that I continued to serve as first officer to Kirk even after my promotion to Captain out of friendship.Cuteness Proximity: It is not very logical to allow such a subjective measurement as \"cuteness\" to cloud your better judgement. This is why I amcompletely immuneto the effects of small \"fuzzy\" creatures such as the so-called \"Tribbles\"... I do, however, find that petting Tribbles whenever you come across them seems perfectly logical. I have also observed that they have an affinity for Vulcans. They are, after all, very perceptive creatures.Dark and Troubled Past: As a child, I was nearly assassinated by extremists who considered me an abomination.My adopted sister was killed as collateral damage before Father resurrected her. She then inflicted a severe emotional wound upon me in a misguided attempt to protect me from further harm, as she thought she had been the target.Deadpan Snarker: Sardonic comments are often required among the illogical humans with whom I serve. Doctor McCoy seems especially intent on deliberately bringing this out in me.Defrosting Ice King: It took years of time with my human crewmates for me to accept my emotions.Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: I once shot ahighly powerful beingwith a Klingon ship's disruptor cannon. It was threatening the captain.Emotions vs. Stoicism: For a long time, this was one of the central struggles of my life. As a Vulcan, I am taught to value a logical and objective approach to situations, and not let my judgement be clouded by emotionalism, something which has admittedly been somewhat difficult at times due to the human part of my biological makeup. Ultimately, one of my most pivotal moments of personal growth was realizing that I should not give myself completely over to one side, but that I to some degree need both of them in my life. After all, logic is just the beginning of wisdom, not the end.Fantastic Racism: Though I myself often speak poorly of humans and their tendencies towards emotion, I have observed that much of my life has been built around others questioning my own existence. Evidently, there are still those who feel Vulcans with Earth ancestry do not belong in society, which I fail to see the logic in.Forgets to Eat: When fascinated by something, I sometimes forgo comestibles, as recorded in \"Amok Time\" and \"The Paradise Syndrome\". Depending on the situation, this state of affairs may continue for days or weeks.Friendless Background: I had not even what comradery Vulcans are permitted as a child, owing to theHalf-Breed Discriminationon Vulcan.Good is Not Nice: Doctor McCoy has no compunctions about telling me that I am \"a cold-blooded, computerized alien\", but even he acknowledges that I always have the best interests of the ship and her crew in mind.Guile Hero: Violence is not a logical response to a problem and Vulcan philosophy promotes pacifism. I would rather out-think my adversaries than out-fight them. Though I must admit that Captain Kirk has occasionally proven better at this task, as his unconventional tactics have sometimes successfully found a way where my logical approach was insufficient.Half-Breed Discrimination: I have been forced to confront this issue a great deal of my life. On Vulcan, few would accept the son of Sarek for being half human. Even to my own father, who wished to have a descendant of human origin, the more emotional tendencies I displayed in my youth lead me to believe he felt I was a shame to his family. Though I have spent many a years working to hone my emotions, there are times when this notion being brought up in a negative context triggers my more human side.Half-Human Hybrid: My father was the Vulcan ambassador Sarek. My mother was human. I admit that I have at times spent too much time denying this aspect of myself, and eventually coming to terms with it was a primary part of my personal growth.Handicapped Badass:You may not know this about me, but I am actually dyslexic. However, when the so-called \"red angel\" and I came into contact, my dyslexia, combined with my Vulcan physiology, prevented me from losing my sanity.Heroic Sacrifice:During the second encounter with Khan, I performed necessary repairs on the warp drive and subsequently died from radiation exposure. Although Doctor McCoy would probably dismiss it as a \"bad excuse\", it seemed a perfectly logical decision at the time to offer up my own life rather than let the crew perish.This act is something I would relay to my younger self in an alternate timeline when he too faced a similar threat.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Many have noticed that myself, Captain Kirk, and Doctor McCoy are often inseparable, each relying on the other's wisdom and experience to solve a crisis, or perhaps take shore leaves together, often discussing the philosophical impact that our careers have had on our lives. There are few instances I can recollect where we were apart in our service together.Insult Backfire: Doctor McCoy has frequently attempted to chastise me for my lack of overt human sentimentality, to which I would respond with my thanks.Interclass Friendship: I come from a high-ranking lineage going back thousands of years, the Vulcan equivalent of what you humans call \"nobility\". Captain Kirk, by contrast, was a farmer from Iowa before he joined Starfleet, and Doctor McCoy claims to be \"just an old country doctor\". This has not been deleterious to our friendship.Interspecies Friendship:To an extent. I am half-human, and my closest friends, to the extent that Vulcans can have friends, are fully human.Interspecies Romance:One time, I became romatically involved with Leila Kalomi, who is not Vulcan. However, we were both under the effects of some psychotropic spores. Similarly, when Harry Mudd created aLove Potion, I temporarily became infatuated with Nurse Chapel, who is a full-blooded human, while I am only half-human.When I traveled in time, which was documented in \"All Our Yesterdays\", I became involved with a human woman named Zarabeth. However, at the time, I was behaving more like a pre-Reformation Vulcan, and it is doubtful she and I would be romantically attracted under normal circumstances.In an alternate timeline, I was involved with Lt. Uhura.On the subject of one-sided love, Nurse Chapel and Uhura, who are both full humans, have unrequited infatuations toward me.Living Legend: My intended mate referred to me as \"much known among our people\" and my reputation only grew through my efforts to achieve a lasting peace with the Klingons and my subsequent ambassadorial career.Long-Lived:Vulcanshave lifespans that are shown to be longer than those of humans. I aged far less than Doctor McCoy during the interlude betweenour timeand that of theEnterprise D.Long-Lost Relative: I do have a couple of those, but the circumstances surrounding their existence are convoluted and...controversialin bothofficialand less official circles. It should tell you everything that I never mentionone of themunless asked directly, and I will never discussthe other onebecauseI am simply not allowed to.Ludicrous Precision: As a Vulcan, it is logical to our species to always strive for punctuality, and I always frequently give time estimates down to the second.Martial Pacifist: As much as I deplore violence, I will fight if it is necessary to defend my captain, my crew, orThe Federationitself.Mate or Die: It is true that a quirk of Vulcan biology means that this is an occasional risk to every member of our species, and that includes me. But I would... prefer not to discuss this in detail.Mating Season Mayhem: I once suffered frompon farrand caused... inconvenience to the crew, but I would prefer not to go into detail. It was documented in \"Amok Time\" if you're curious.Mayfly\u2013December Friendship: Vulcans can live for centuries, but humans are less long-lived.My Future Self and Me: At one point, I was required to visit my personal history to save my younger self from death.My Greatest Failure:Upon my arrival in the parallel reality, I expressed the destruction of Romulus as this, for I had failed to arrive in time to stop the supernova from destroying the very home of a once proud race. Few things in my life have ever caused me such distress, but to have allowed this to happen? I will be forced to bear this failure, and all that has come from it, for the rest of my days.Some have theorized that I felt this way regarding the death of Captain Kirk. Considering how the captain was as much a friend to me as few others were, I do not believe they are wrong. Is it little wonder that, in one of the few moments of emotion in my life, that I felt some sense of joy to see the younger version of him?Nerves of Steel: In such situations encouraging fear, I as ever have it under control to deal with the matter at hand.Never Accepted in His Hometown: Despite the Vulcan culture being focused on embracing logic, other Vulcans still held the human part of part of my biological makeup against me, despite my intellectual and academic performance according to all tests being on par with theirs. When I was faced with it once more during my successful application for the Vulcan Science Academy, I finally realized that I would never be fully able to escape it as long as I lived amongst other Vulcans. The only logical answer to that conundrum, from my point of view at least, was to join Starfleet, where I could excel in the scientific field without the distraction of always being reminded of my \"disadvantage\".Not So Above It All: I have allowed myself the occasional instance of emotional satisfaction. Notably, I did take pleasure in tricking the Captain into forcing himself to take shore leave. It was logical to do so of course; the ship would not be able to operate efficiently if he was not functioning at his best.Once Done, Never Forgotten: I only playedonepractical joke in my entire lifetime, and that was at age five, yetwhen I was seven, this caused me to have a reputation asa practical joker.Only One Name: My full name has never been officially revealed. Some have advanced the possibility that it isS'chn T'gai Spock. It matters not, as it isunpronounceableto humans.Pragmatic Hero: It would be extremely self-aggrandizing to call myself \"heroic\". Nevertheless, my career has forced me to make decisions that my human colleagues found logical yet distasteful. I have occasionally deceived enemies or fellow crew members and have been willing to sacrifice allies or myself in service of a mission.Proud Scholar Race Guy: As a Vulcan, I strive for a logical and intellectual understanding of the universe.Ret-Gone: I was temporarily erased from existence due to a mistake withTime Travel. The existential implications of this are fascinating, but also, admittedly, disturbing.Sarcastic Devotee: My loyalty to the captain is matched by few others. However, this will not prevent me from delivering a sardonic comment.Science Hero: While I would not call my actions heroic as they were simply performed in service of my duties, I am educated in various scientific disciplines as a result of my Vulcan heritage. Throughout my career, I received a number of opportunities to demonstrate this knowledge. I regularly repaired various devices and I once helped develop vaccines with the good doctor for an alien virus that killed those that entered human puberty. Additionally, I once helped artificially synthesize the hormone epinephrine (known colloquially as adrenaline) to cure a virus that rapidly aged those infected.Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Though I will always defer to Starfleet regulations and proper logic to defuse a potentially destructive situation, there are times in my career where I have deferred to a morally obligatory choice (purely by logic, of course). To have allowed Captain Pike to suffer from his injuries was a far greater consequence than risking a death sentence. Nor would have I allowed the threat of Khan to terrorize the new reality, no matter the consequences to the timeline.Sickeningly Sweethearts: I would prefer not to discuss how... overemotional I became when Nurse Chapel exposed me to Harry Mudd'sLove Potion; nor the instance on the Omicron Ceti III colony.Sick Episode: Ioncegot a severe infection in my blood that nearly killed me.Signature Move: The neck-pinch. It incapacitates my opponent without causing serious harm, which makes it ideal for a pacifist.Smart People Play Chess: When off-duty, I frequently engage Captain Kirk in a game of 3-dimensional chess.Soul Jar: I was forced to use Doctor McCoy to house mykatrabefore my death. Fortunately, he seems to harbor no resentment towards me.Spock Speak: Some people have reported to, and even complained about finding the Vulcan manner of speaking both bizarrely eloquent and overly complicated, but we find that adhering to as objective and precise use of verbal language as possible remains the most efficient manner of communicating information with other sapient beings.The Stoic: Owing to my Vulcan ancestry and upbringing, I refused to show emotion for years. I even attempted undergoing a traditional Vulcan rite to purge myself entirely of all emotions. A large part of my personal growth as an individual, however, was coming to the realization and acceptance of the fact that \u2014 though troubled as I may be by them at times \u2014 my emotions ultimately remain a part of who I am.Not So Stoic: Though I do not like to admit it, part of me is still and will always be irrevocably human, and despite striving to I cannot always keep it subdued. As a result, I have experienced occasional lapses in my emotional control and better judgment in times of extreme stress.Stoic Woobie: Many seem to pity me for my difficult past and my lack of reaction to the same. But as long as said past does not immediately influence or impair my judgement or my ability to carry out my duty, I simply do not see it as a subject worth dwelling on or discussing for any extended period of time.Super Strength: My Vulcan physiology makes me three times more powerful than a human.Tall, Dark, and Snarky: It is an accurate assessment that my hair is dark and that my height is greater than many humanoid beings. I also engage in sardonic comments when necessary. However, I fail to see how this inspires the attraction human females seem to have for this combination.The Not-Love Interest: The captain is extremely attached to me, also doing things such asstaring at me for long periods, and being more attached to me than to his \"lady\" theEnterprise. On my side, Edith Keeler judged I belonged \"at his side, as though I had always been there and always would be.\" However, despite rumors, the relationship is not romantic.The Captain's interest in the female sex should make that quite clear.The Knights Who Say \"Squee!\": Vulcans do not \"squee\"...yet, admittedly, I did briefly suffer a lapse in emotional control upon meeting Surak. However, I quickly deduced that Surak was no more the historical figure than Lincoln.The Spock:It would be illogical to assume otherwise.Many others have followed in my footsteps.OneI had crossed paths with, and the android astounded me with his desiresto become human, in spite of lacking their many flaws.Mysisterattempted to be this, but the circumstances of what happened to her indicate that not even our father could have molded her into the ideal Vulcan.The Teetotaler: Vulcans prefer to avoid alcohol, as my father's race was spared the dubious benefits of it. I have imbibed on extremely rare occasions, however.This Is No Time for Knitting: I will approach problems with the methods of my choosing within proper professional considerations and I will let the results speak for themselves.This Is Unforgivable!:As a young child, my sister insulted my heritage in an attempt to prevent me from fleeing the confines of our parent's home, believing she was sparing our family from logic extremists. While what she said was hurtful, I found her actions in bearing responsibilities that were not hers to bear, to put it in emotional terms, selfish. As such, I refused to reconcile with her for years, only working with her to defeat acommon foe. Only when she acknowledged my misgivings that I was willing toaccept her apologies.I can only hope that my words may have impacted her choicesin the future, and that she doesnot forget the words I spoke of to her.Token Nonhuman: I was the only visible non-human in the crew during the early days.Later, others like Lieutenants Arex and M'Ress were introduced.Touch Telepathy: The Vulcan mind meld. I am capable ofinfluencing mindswithout physical contact, though.Undying Loyalty: I once told Captain Kirk that \"a starship runs on loyalty to one man and nothing can replace it or him.\" In my case, Captain Kirk is that man.I was also fully ready to risk execution by breaking Federation regulations about staying away from Talos 4 in order to help my former commanding officer, Captain Pike. As he had complete faith in me, I in turn held the same of him. I also owed it to him, as I deduced that by accepting his fate, he saved me from suffering the same.Unwanted Spouse: I admit to being less than eager for my union with my intended bride, and she had become involved with another Vulcan. Her efforts to avoid the marriage could have been quite disastrousif not for the good doctor.Verbal Tic: While I would not refer to it as a \"tic\", I tend to fit the word \"logic\" and the permutations thereof into sentences endlessly.Vitriolic Best Buds: Although Doctor McCoy and I frequently engage inbattles of wit and exchange of barbs, we do have a certain... regard for each other. I admit that logic cannot fully explain it.Will Not Tell a Lie: While I can and do lie if the situation calls for it, being a Vulcan, I generally refrain from lying unless it's required of me.The Worf Effect: I have been defeated by some creatures, which were deemed formidable adversaries.You Called Me \"X\"; It Must Be Serious: If I ever forgo Captain Kirk's title for his nickname, \"Jim\", it is a sign of extreme circumstances.You Didn't Ask: Like most Vulcans, I am not exactly forthcoming with details about my personal life. In our culture, you do not really tend to broach that subject, unless it is directly relevant to the situation at hand. This has occasionally let to my colleagues getting surprised or even shocked when certain facts about my background are revealed to them. In my defense, I would not have hesitated to tell them, had they actually asked me first."} {"text": "For best effect, read this in a voice similar toCersei Lannisteror a female Ichabod Crane.So, this is happening. Hold on a moment.*Drinks some poppy tea*Okay, now I am back.Greetings. My name is of no concern to you at his moment in time, but I have the title ofMistress of the Western Fields,Vessel of Truth and Solace,but most people call me Mistress West to save their breath. I was once a witch that ruled the Western Fields, then I became the owner of a brothel in Emerald City afterThe Beast Foreverwastemporarilydefeated, and now I am the right-hand woman toOzma, the queen of Oz herself.Well, it seems like I need to tell you some things about myself, or what you interlopers call \"tropes.\"Berserk Button: I can be a decent person to be around. However, don't ever, and I mean EVER, lie to me. Otherwise, I might have togive you a stretch.Brutal Honesty: Well, my title is The Vessel of Truth and Solace, so I do tell the truth(mostly), but my solace died LONG ago. If you want the truth from me, you will. In spades. And it won't be pretty.Color Motif: Most of my dresses are green. Apparently, green is seen as my colour.Deadpan Snarker: When your life is like mine, you need some sort of defense mechanism to cope. Mine is sarcasm. It helped me through bad times and made the good times I had feel that much better. The only person I know who matches my tongue isQueen Ozma.Driven to Suicide: At that point, I found out that Tip was the daughter of the King and Queen of Oz, so I tried feeding her East's spells. The result was thatTip died. Temporarily, mind you, but I did not know that at that point in time. I truly thought I killed the poor child. I tried to get Glinda to let me see my own mother, but then she refused. Hopeless, I lied down in the Sacred Temple and cut my arms upwards so that I could die and rejoin Tip in the afterlife. Thankfully, she came back in time, so I regained my faith in the world again.Functional Addict: I am not as strong as I used to be now that I am addicted to the poppy, but that does not make me incapable.I successfully completed East's funeral rites under its influence with no issue whatsoever, much to my sister's chagrin.I Banged Your Mom: Anna was a sweet person before mysteriously disappearing. Innocent and naive, yes, but I saw that she had a big heart. I had some sort of mutual respect for her, for her motherworked at my brothel. One of the best workers, she was. I even let her sleep with me. Those were some good times.I told Anna this, but I was high at the time so I ended up sounding like a twat and broke the poor girl's spirit. She was gone the next day. She might have killed herself, all because of me not thinking of what I was saying....shit.I Just Want to Be Loved: It pains me to say it, but I'm not loved where I am from. I am liked by a small amount of people, but I generally feel like I am abandoned at times. My mother took care of me despite motheringover a thousand children,but thenGlinda had to lock her up after The Beast Forever was first stopped for me being chosen as a future progenitor instead of her.I am not kidding you. She is that childish.That left me with my sister East. We were very close as family because she saw my problems and did her best to calm me down when times got rough. Then,she was apparently tricked into killing herselfand it was there that the last person to care for me was gone. That was until Tip came into my life. She was just meant to be a worker at first but then ended upreplacing Mirandaas my right-hand woman. We grew a bond, so that was nice.Hell, she's the Queen of Oz now, which makes me feel better knowing that I was the first oneto know Tip's real name was Ozma and that she was the daughter of the Pastorias.Even though my sister can be a bitch, I wish that one day she will stop treating as inferior because of my lifestyle. I thought the Wizard was a nice person until I found out that heordered the death of Ozma's parents,which is a dick move.In Vino Veritas: To make sure I always tell the truth near certain people, I drink poppy tea. I once told the Wizard that I am happy that he banned magic and that I'm out of practice. I have seen magic go wrong. Horribly wrong. Even with all of the power of me and my kin, I lost most of my kind to The Beast Forever.Ironic Nickname: Well, only about half-right. I do not know why I still have the \"solace\" part of my title, considering as, once again, I lost it a long time ago. I still do search for and tell the truth(for the most part), so my \"Vessel of Truth\" part of my title is accurate at least.Mind over Matter: My favourite method of getting information out of people, like I did with that woman who I thought killed my sister.Miss Kitty: I ran a brothel during the Wizard's reign. It may have been run-down, smoky, and the subject of myhypocriticalsister's insults, butit was my new home and I was comfortable in it.Pet the Dog: Yes, I can be both incredibly petty and unbelievably selfish at times, but I care for my kind. I miss East, and I want to hug my mother again if I end up seeing her. I even swore an oath that no more of my kind will die. There is also Tip, for whom I felt we were going to be what you interlopers call \"soulmates.\" One time, I snapped at the child for being snarky herself, but then I felt the need to ask of her feelings were hurt, and I cuddled her hand. I can be a nice person, it's just thatGlinda keeps making me miserable.Shapeshifting: Well, I'm a witch. I can shape-shift, which is a basic ability my kind has. One time, I used this ability to try to convince little Tip to join my side. Luckily for me,it worked, although my disguise waseasily seen through.Maybe I should have used less obvious language about myself.It was a nice bath, though.Another time was when I was interrogating the person who I thought killed my sister.I changed into her mother to get to her head, and I found that she did and didn't kill my sister,which confused me quite a bit.Sherlock Scan: I have identified an acolyte of The Wizard as pregnant when she should have been chaste (Oops!) and then almost instantly recognised the baby's father. All within a single heartbeat.Survivor Guilt: Oh, god. Please don't make me talk about this. *sigh* Fine, then. Twenty years ago,Roquat the Red,The Beast Forever, returned to Oz, and my kind was involved.Being a Cardinal Witch, I was a commander. Glinda and I sent a good amount of witches out, and I gave them milk of the poppy before they fought him.That was the biggest mistake I made in my whole life. Almost every witch we sent out was drowned, and now it constantly feels like it's my fault. Sorry, I need to drink again..."} {"text": "RRRAAAARRRGHHHH!!!!!

I also got tons of trash in the form of wrapping paper and used Christmas trees. It's a shame that little red menace went and put things right for everyone else.

My slogan was \"Everybody\u2019s welcome! it doesn\u2019t matter if you are a somebody or a nobody. Just as long as you\u2019re a body!\" It was a scream, one to be had, for sure.Now that I'm stuck in the Other Side, I had the chance to challenge that Gatekeeper inthat game, but then I got my own!

Still, l've been feeling a little lonely lately... Wanna join? Of course you do!Trope time! Big time! Party time!

Sure, I used to be a simple tabloid reporter (lies, all lies!) until I made my debut in my own mini-expansion (courtesy of the good people at Greater Than Games) but I knew that I, Guise, was destined to be the best hero ever!If you're wondering the best way to play my cards, look no further. All you've gotta do is chain them together to beat the bad guys and save the day all by yourself. You can even use the powers and cards of other heroes and do it way better than them too. And don't forget to play the Best Card Ever.I've got two alternate forms, too!Santa Guisebrings the joy of Gift-Mas to the battlefield, whileCompletionist Guiseowns every single promo of every single hero!Now lemme think, tropes that apply to me...Achilles' Heel: Psst. Don't tell the bad guys, but my deck kinda falls apart if I can't get a good card churn or something stops me from playing; all my Ongoings explode after a turn, and they're most of what keeps me operating, so I need to keep replacing them when they get taken out!Air Guitar: I don't actually do this, but my player can do this on Let Me See That... Cool effect too.Anti-Hero: Okay, look, I keep saving the day, got it? Sure, I'm not a saint, but who is? (Stupid Legacy and his boy scout antics...)Armor Piercing: When I'm X-Treeeeeme any damage I do is Irreducible, and can't be redirected as a fringe benefit!Attack Deflector: Inverted! My X-Treeeeme card prevents my damage from being redirected! Also grants my attacksArmor Piercing!As for playing it straight, when I'm a Total Beefcake I can redirect damage to the villains!Attention Whore:Whoa!How'd this get here?Rude.Back from the Dead: Okay, so the official story on paper is that I got crushed by some debris when Wager Master said hi, and the residual implausibility from said debris transferred into me.Also, I kind of sort of turned into a puddle of sludge during Oblivaeon but then the Scholar, My hero, saved me and now I\u2019m back and better than ever.Badass Santa: When the other holidays declare war on Christmas, it's up tometo save the day! As usual.Berserk Button: Wager Master really ticked me off by putting his drink on my table without a coaster!He makes stuff float! He had half a dozen things floating next to him right then!It's the Best Whatever, Ever!: My Best Card Ever which is just the coolest.Breaking the Fourth Wall: I love doing that. Heck, I'm doing it right now! Look, I'm still doing it! (Christopher and Adamsay that I'm just delusional andthinkI'm in a comic book, but who listens to those guys anyway?)Character Development: I was awesome before, but I got even better after hanging with the Scholar for a while!Combos: Basically the entire point of my deck, especially with my standard variant (which can play extra cards with its power), is to come up with absurd antics involving nailing my stuff together in destructive ways and possibly borrowing stuff from everyone else: Guise the Barbarian with Blatant Reference for heavy damage, for example, or sweeping the field by grabbing Mr Fixer's Jack Handle or Dual Crowbars and then chaining Best Card Ever into Hey, Look What I Found, or spamming cards by copying Requital Captain Cosmic's power, or cloning Legacy's field to double up on buffs and make Heroic Interception team-wide...Chest Insignia: Which can change to suit my mood and shape. Which is good because, as you might have noticed,No Mouthover here.Composite Character: A few gents named Deadpool (wearing tights, talking to you fine folks),The Mask(changing up my wardrobe with the occasional trip intoHammerspace, andPlastic Man(yeah, I stretch, and maybe didn't lead the noblest life, although it's not like I was a criminal) may immediately spring to mind, but apparently I'm actually an homage tosome guy named Ambush Bug. He liked TV too, I guess. Never heard of him? Didn't think so. This mask looks better in my colors anyway.Ditto Fighter: In my own unique and incredibly good-smelling way: I've got my own unique abilities (all of them awesome), but my cards like \"I Can Do That Too!\", \"Let Me See That...\", \"Uh, Yeah, I'm That Guy!\" let me (respectively) imitate my teammates powers, steal their equipment, or copy all their ongoings for a round! (And in case you're wondering, copying teamwide buffs like Legacy's \"Galvanize\" and Ra's \"Imbued Fire\" allows them tostack.No need to thank me.)The Friend Nobody Likes: Pssh, what's this doing here? Don't listen tothat Christopher guy! Everybodyloveshaving me around!Meaningful Name: \"Guise,\" as in \"disguise\" or \"mask\". Get it? And my pre-Guise name wasJoe King. Betsomeonethought that was really funny...Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Some may accuse me of selling out, but can you blame me? I gotta have all the best swag! You should check out my awesome Ninja Pirate Zombie Fanboy IN SPACE getup! It's pretty awesome! Complete withthis awesome shirtandthis AMAZING plushie!No Mouth: I mean, you can sort of see the shape of it through my mask.Power Copying: My best trick is to borrow cards in play and sometimes the powers of my lackeys I mean fellow heroes for a turn!Purple Is Powerful: Yes, yes it is.Rogues Gallery: My Nemeses are Wager Master, a blue space gnome with a gambling addiction, Argentium, some silent metal blob man thing, Cueball, who hangs out on the World's Largest Pool Table and has a head shaped like guess what, and the Green Grosser, a green-skinned nut who rigs fruit to explode, declared war on Christmas, and forced me to live Banana-Less. Why do I get all the weirdos, anyway?Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: Self-Proclaimed? What are you talking about! Me and Cary totally have a Batman-Catwoman thing going on!Shout-Out: One of my hobbies:Guise the Barbarian!Crush your enemies, drive them before you, andLAMINATE THEIR WOMEN!Mr. Fixer wants me to stop asking if he wants me towax on, wax off. I still ask him anyway.I also like to make the occasional blatant reference toSamuel L Coolguy.SAY WHAT AGAIN!And then this one time I turned itoGene Simmonsand playedFreebirdon the Argent Adept's Lyra! (Which is actually a lute. I still don't know why he INSISTS on calling it that...)Oh, and don't forget that time I was aSuper Ultra KawaiiMagical Love Prince!Spotlight-Stealing Squad: A combination of my cards lets me use my teammates cards as if I was them so I get to save the day instead of them!Voluntary Shapeshifting: Only the best superpower for the best superhero.

Either freed to bask in the light of the sun, or through the cold embrace of oblivion.The troper clicks \"Edit Page\". They get to work.Action Survivor:No one is safe when the bodies drop. That is what makesHorrorso effective to readers and viewers. Tension builds and releases, the danger and adrenaline shared between the veil of fiction and reality. To hold a gun you never fired before out of necessity can paralyze you. To see the sun rise for another day can make anyone willing to kill.The Alcoholic: Alan thought back to the days before he came to Bright Falls. He remembered the celebrations and the hard times. He forgot the taste of his morning coffee but he could remember every sip of the bourbon Barry poured for him in celebrating his best-seller. While he missed the bitter taste, he did not miss the looks Alice would give him when he woke up the next day.Author Avatar: A writer is nothing but the main protagonist of his ownThrillernovel. ThePlayer Characterof someone else's game.One can never surmise if he is being played or stands in the way of the player.He can only live his life and only ask if distinctions even matter. If the act of knowing made a difference.Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: While a part of Alan felt lighter with the knowledge of Barbara Jagger's destruction, he knew that the Darkness was still there. A lurking predator biding its time until its prey became lost and alone.Trapped in a cabin beneath Cauldron Lake with himself and his thoughts. At war with himself like a mouse under the cat's mercy.Classical Antihero: Alan Wake is arrogant, prideful, and resentful of his own success.Evil Counterpart: Mr. Scratch is Alan's nemesis and possesses all of his memories as well as appearance. He is the sum of all the dark rumors and innuendo about Alan in the real world.Private Eye Monologue: Alan knew that he could never do the profession justice, but he always believed that a part of himself brought Alex Casey to life. The heart and mind beneath the cigarette smoke and the gunfire and the tragedy.Reality Warper: Alan gained this ability at the lakeoceanbut the price was that whatever he tried to create would be influenced by the Dark Presence. It was a constant tug of war between what Alan wanted to happen and what the Dark Presence could corrupt it to be.Sanity Slippage: Alan sat alone as he typed. Mindlessly typing, always typing. Typing his thoughts as they played in a loop. His thoughts ran from him as his mind would forget them just as quick. Mindlessly typing, always typing. The line between what was real and what he made to be real was erased and now all he had was typing, always typing. Alan sat alone as he typed. Stories of escape leaped from his mind and behaved like they were true, but they were nothing but dreams and all there was to wake-up to was the Dark Place. Alan sat alone as he typed.

I don't ask for much!(Beat)(Clears throat again)...Well,that embarrassing introduction aside, let me properly introduce myself! I am Arthur, the ever-noble,loyal retainerofPrincessEliseof theKingdom of Nohr! I amthe shield of the weak, theprotector of hope!I am justice!I amthelight! ...Err, oris the nightmore fitting here, givenNohr? Ah, it does not matter!Sweating the small details only gives one a headache! Regardless of such,I am happy to describe myself in this page of justice as you please! Youhaveheard of my heroics, have you not?...Eh? You need to hear what my origin story is? Well, I suppose a bit of backstory couldn't hurt anyone! Sadly, I'm afraid there's not much to tell.I was born toa loving family of commoners who taught me something very important: \"only the just can protect justice.\" I've dedicated every waking day of my life in martial arts, training, and heroism, andsoon enough I would rise the ranksto become a royal retainer of Princess Elise herself! Of course, there were some distractions here and there \u2014 a young girl fromanother nation, her face wet with tears, I found alone. As fate would have it, royal guards were looking for her \u2014 sensing danger, I would take the blame for her disappearance, and be subjected totwenty lashes in punishment! ...Or was it thirty? Ahaha,it wasn't that bad if I couldn't even remember the pain.Regardless, I am here to explain myself in any such fashion you require! If you need a hero of justice to stand by, side by side, you may only ask!I shall be far more than happy to assist in any fashion you require!Oh? What now? Tropes? Oh, ahem, well, in that case...Aha,therewe go! Here is our applicable trope list... OF JUSTICE!:Affectionate Parody: There is nothing of parody tomy heart's fiery beating for justice! ...Err,being sincere however, Ihaveread elsewhere that my, ahem,bravadois based off ofSilver Age superheroesin all their...(Re-Reads Notes)...Campand cartoonish glory?!(Beat)Ahahaha!That is actually rather charming!But yes, I am well aware my antics can be a bit... off-putting.My own world's chroniclesis thusly aware of it also, but lest you forget, my heroism is thankfully treated withthe utmost respect by the world's denizens! Thanks for the positivity,Shin Kibayashi!All-Loving Hero: Everyone deserves the right to happiness and justice, no matter friend or foe! Defeating evildoers is never not an excellent choice,but sparing whenever possibleandmaking foes into friendsisthe true mark of a hero! We've recently adopted Lord/Lady Corrin's requestto spare enemy troops through non-lethal subjugation, though from what I hear, the strategem has proven rather...controversial.Banana Peel: Argh! Accursed banana peels!My twelfth worst enemy! ...Eh? Well, one through eleven are unfortunately \u2014 err, not the point, the point is that they spontaneously appear to foil my heroism, like with my assistance to missFelicia! ...Which is weird,because I could almost swear we ran out of banana peels a while back when that happened...Becoming the Mask: Being entirely sincere with you,a great deal of my theatrics are for show than tell, haha. But such bravado manages to be so inspiring that it merely becomes the identity of the champion of Justice, Arthur!Boisterous Bruiser: Ahahaha! No matter the odds, evil shall not prevail!Born Unlucky: It, ahem, has provenquite obvious by nowthat I ama little bit unfavored by Lady Luck, yes?(Eyes widenasa falling pianonearly crushes Arthur; he dodges just in time)...Well, look no further!(Smiles,While Grimacing)...I think that was Lady Elise's piano... how did it drop from here?!Brought to You by the Letter \"S\":It varies on the translation, old chum! My belt's 'H' symbol stands for Harold in the Japanese version, but as fate has it with my birth name, it stands as such for 'Hero' now!Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: Yes, I shall admit, an axe can be a rather, ahem,devastating weapon, but me?Brutish?Perishthethought!Can't Hold His Liquor: Trust me, I do not drink! All kinds of horrible misfortunes would betide me if I was even a mite less lucid! Then again, in my interactions withNyx, an accidental shot of clear liquor made me mistake Elise's hair braids as a baguette...Chewing the Scenery: Ahaha, yes, I can be quite... theatrical, indeed. But hey, even heroes of Justiceand those who play themhave to have a bit of fun, yes? Ahaha!Cosmic Plaything: Alas, I can't count any times I won the lottery! Or anything luck based... It seems I am rather quite cursed with regards to luck, unfortunately.Ah, well, there's always brighter callings!Determinator: It matters not the odds,or the lack of them for success! I shall fight for a better future for all that I care about!And for Lady Justice!For Great Justice:FOR JUSTICE!Good Parents: Ahaha, um...well, that'sdebatable. Make no mistake, I love my boy Percy, as he's my pride and joy... but in retrospect,getting my darling wife of justice pregnant and us having to put our beloved child in a pocket dimension wasn't my smartest move!Percywasunderstandably miffed by us as such,to the point we had to defeat him when I was mistaken for the infamous bandit Gazzak and jumped on him with a mercenary band... but truly, I intend to make my amends. I shall be the best father any child of justice can ask for! ...And best wyvern caretaker!Genre Refugee: Many have come to note that my placement is rather...odd, for a medieval fantasy world, no? Well, even my appearance inthe Order of Heroesreflects this, looking straight fromthe art of other such scribes of otherworldly heroics!Good Feels Good: Why do I do what I do, to help those in need? Well,aside from the obvious answer, because it's what feels right to me! I love helping those in need \u2014 and if you ever need my help, Troper, you need only but ask!Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: This glorious golden mane is only rivaled by the golden love and passion I have for the people of Nohr!Hero Antagonist: A-Antagonist?! Why, Inever\u2014 Eh?You mean \"heroic character who opposes the protagonist\", not \"villainous hero\"? Oh, I suppose that makes sense! Lord/Lady Corrin could have easily sided with Hoshido instead, and I would be forced to do battle to protect Lady Elise!Heroic Build: Aha, you like my muscles? Don't worry,I mean no harm! Though then again,Iamin the Fighter class...Heroic Self-Deprecation: Ahaha, you'd be hard pressed to see moments of my outgoing heroism quiet! But nonetheless, I am but a simple soldier.Helping others is simply the right thing to do!Hidden Depths: You'd honestly suspect my own hamminess to imply a lack of maturity in my understanding of justice, do you not? Well, old chum,you'd be incorrect! I put a lot of thought into what justice means to me, and make certain not to confuse it withvengeance! A hero does not avenge for avenging's sake \u2014 they are a shield, a protector, and more importantly an icon! That is what heroism means to me!Arthur:Justice means many things to many people. For me, it's a way of life. It's waking up before your friends to go on patrol... It's searching high and low to locate a lost child for their frantic parents... It's coming across an injured elderly person and becoming their legs for them... It's hearing a crying baby and crying with it until it calms down... It's jumping into a fight and turning angry fists into friendly handshakes... Justice is all these things, and so much more! That's what it means to ME, in any case.Hope Bringer: Above all else, bringing smiles and light tothe dark landsofNohris what is my duty! And above all else? Because seeing people smile really does make ME smile, too!And I already smile quite a bit!Iron Butt Monkey: If it wasn't the fact that I've been already struck by lightning thrice this week (counting this page!) and fell of a cliff, set on fire, had a tree fell on me, attacked by a horde of Faceless... well, most normal men would be put out of commission!But Lady Luck gets me out of it all the same that she puts me in it!She is indeed a fickle mistress...The Jinx: My allies stay quite a ways away from me out of fear of being hit by one of my spells of misfortune! ...Albeit,only enemies and myself seem to be affected by my jinxing luck for some reason...Lantern Jaw of Justice: A clean-shaven mug of but the noblest man of Nohr!Lethal Chef: Aha, um... w-well, let's just say my ill fortune ruins any attempts at me cooking.It's not my fault, truly! The oven just overcooked a bit too much, and our food spoiled! ...Despite us getting it the day before...Nice Guy:Ahaha, you flatter me too much. But nothing makes me feel happier than seeing my loved ones and friends be happy. It's why I do what I do, fellow friend!The Paladin: I shall stop at nothing to be an ally to those in need, a shield of justice! Though I suppose it's to be clear that while I believe in the rule of peace, I am certainly no fool, unlike what one may think of those with moreinflexible beliefs! Nay, justice is to uphold the spirit of peace, not merely the letter!The Pollyanna: My misfortune has caused quite a deal of unfortunate accidents throughout my time, and given the amount of adversity I deal with just for walking out of bed, I could see why others would be crushed to have such luck! But nay,I still fight for what's right, damn the odds!Rated M for Manly: Muscles...OF JUSTICE!Self-Made Man: As mentioned within my own backstory, I am but a humble commoner who's skill with fighting proved so great I became a retainer for the Nohrian royal family, specifically Princess Elise! Alas, but there is no greater reward than the thrill of heroism!Smug Smiler: Evildoers shall tremble in fear when they seemy smile! Usually that means there'sno more holding backfrom me!Strong and Skilled: Aha, but what is a hero of Justice to do that train one's talent if they cannot win through luck! Yes, I amrather well built, but my true calling is my Skill growth, which is abnormally high for my class! ...Not that it becomes obvious,when you use me at first...Taking the Heat: As I have alluded to, I have taken severe punishment for the sake of whom I would learn to beLady Azura. She was sadly harassed by King Garon's aides, and I found her when I was but a boy crying in an alleyway. When guards rushed over looking for her, I feared they were going to punish her, so I took the punishment instead! Also as mentioned, I was whipped for it, but givenI don't remember how painful it was, it was probably a lot less painful than my otherblunders...Unluckily Lucky: Lady Luck for me isoften a one-way street, but it offerjust enough trips down the other way to help me survive! I am often told most people wouldperish to the injuries I am afflicted to, but through that same luck, I emerge relatively unscathed! As a bonus,Nyxshowed me my fortune and told me my luck would improve with age! Now,hopefully I live long enoughtosee that improvementto begin with...Woolseyism: While I had but a rather standard, hammy voice in the Japanese voice over, the fine champions of justice over at Treehouse decided to give me an imitation ofa certain fellow superherothrough myEnglish voice! Suffice to say, it was quite well-received!Stay safe, citizen!"} {"text": "The Hero of Love and Justice is here!!!(This page is best read in the voice ofTsuyoshi KoyamaorSteve Kramer. OrespeciallyTony Oliver)(Just as you entered the page, you hear this song blaring...)BANG BANG BANG BAAAAANG!!! BAANING-UU TAMASHII!!! TATAKAU KOKORO KOUGETSUKU HODO NIIIII!!!Hailed in heavens and earth, the one and only, Bang Shishigami, has arrived!!Greetings, Tropers! I see that there is this trend of characters fromBlazBluegetting their own Self-Demonstrating page! But what is this!? That evil monster Yuki Terumigot his own self-demonstrating page first!?Very well then, naughty tropers! It looks like it's time for a little Shishi-spanking and an effort to fix the balance between good and evil. Sit back and allow this good ol' ninja to describe himself! 'Tis a tale of hotblood, justice, and... um... tragedy. A man's romance!Well, as I have stated, my name is Bang Shishigami, the hammer of justice. I am but a humble ninja hailing from Ikaruga, being taught to grow and act like a good man by my master Tenjou Amanohokosaka. Alongside me, my master also has that Kagura Mutsuki as his student, but pay no attention to him! He is a bad example for you kids out there,always openly flirting with women instead of treating them with respect!And he is amongst the ranks of Novus Orbis Librarium, otherwise known as NOL, that organization full of oppressors of the needy, everything that Ikaruga does not represent!One day my master entrusted me with a mission and along with it, a giant nail that I have absolutely no idea what it is or what it does. But then, the NOL struck against us in a bloody war! It was a harsh battle, but I managed to evacuate many citizens into safety! But unfortunately, I let my guard down and left my master open, leaving him open from being struck against this Major of NOL... *clenches fist upwards*JIN KISARAGI!!At that moment, that boy froze me solid and then killed my master right in front of me.NOOOO!!!That would beMy Greatest Failure, I could not protect my master. I had to get over that, and relocate in the Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi at the town of Ronin-Gai. We will rebuild the culture of Ikaruga and one day strike back against NOL! Of course, I had to do many odd-ball jobs but I settled on being a vigilante of justice, bringing criminals down! Yes, indeed, I certainly act like your Saturday morning superhero cartoon hero, and it was epic! Though it was odd that I had to report to NOL for that, but I had to shove my pride. But one day, I, Bang Shishigami, shall exact righteous justice to the NOL and that Jin Kisaragi!!Well, eventually there's this criminal known as 'The Grim Reaper', otherwise known as 'Ragna the Bloodedge', so I spent my time inCalamity Triggertrying to hunt him down. But... but perhaps I could say my existence here in Kagutsuchi is a blessing to me because in there, I met a lot of wonderful people, and good kids that can be shaped up to be a better generation. Such as that Taokaka and Master Carl Clover, or even that Miss Platinum the Trinity. Life is not easy for this ninja because everyone seems like treating mewith nothing but ridicule. But thankfully, there's also my.... my sweet angel... aah...MISS LITCHI FAYE-LING!!She's a kind and beautiful person beyond belief, even if there were some strifes between us, we are great friends and she's just about the only one who fully treats me with respect. She seems to have her mind focused to this monster Arakune, who also has a bounty in its head. Well, I suppose I could help... but that dangerous criminal Ragna comes first! Maybe if I do something awesome, I can impress Miss Litchi and then... and then...(OneImagine Spotlater)... Smooch...Whoa! I mustn't get carried away like this! My story isn't finished!Things seems to get a lot more chaotic inContinuum Shift, there's that green-haired evil man named Hazama seemingly working behind the scenes and I came face to face with Carl's monstrous father, Relius. However, there was one important thing to do that I have found out there, Lord Tenjou's son lived and I needs to fulfill my mission in regards of my nail! Love can wait, I must return to Ikaruga! It seems that Miss Platinum is also tagging along with me, so the more the merrier!We ended up meeting with Carl when we arrived in Ikaruga, during the time ofChronophantasma, though we parted ways. During around that time, I learned that the NOL system is the enemy, not Jin Kisaragi. But why is he stillan ass-wipeeven if he's now trying to mend his ways!? But I remembered what Lord Tenjou taught me: Absolve the offender, dislike the offense, so he still has his time for repent! Anyway, I also got into a small hijinx with Miss Bullet but eventually, I do not know why, but I eventually reunited with Kagura. It turns out he's been staging a righteous coup from within and trying to install the new Imperator of NOL... Lord Tenjou's son Homura! I can finally fulfill my mission!Oh and it turns out that this Ragna the Bloodedge is actuallyGood All Along! What a relief! But old grudges cannot be settled normally, so we settled it by beating the crap out of each other and gaining each other's respect! Men really talks with their fists!But troper... at this point, this is where everything went to hell. Relius came along trying to nab my nail for his genocidal plans... and on his side was...Miss Litchi!?And she's helping him by beating me up so she could create a new world where a certain 'Roy' can live!? B-but, Miss Litchi, what about MY feelings, did you just trample it like that!?NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!... What's that!? Master Carl, already known for his hatred to his father, now sided with him to have his sister restored!?NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!But it ain't a hero's story if you don't have the willpower to stand for what is right, and the heroic spirit is never extinguished that easily! Good thing there's both Miss Tsubaki Yayoi and Miss Makoto Nanaya backing me up to delay those two, I'd hate hitting them, so I concentrated all my firepowers to that evil marionette manipulator, until Lord Valkenhayn took over and I can finally activate my nail and fulfill my mission!Do you know what it is? The Nox Nyctores Phoenix Rettenjou! An anti-seithr device designed to get rid of seithr from the world! With that mission fulfilled, Ragna managed to defeat the monstrous Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi. Mission complete!(Somber music plays here).... Sigh...Still, what a costly battle that was. I do not know where I am right now, maybe that is why I am here, describing my life to you tropers. Even if I heard Relius has suffered extremeVillainous Breakdown... the damage was done. I judged Miss Litchi and Master Carl wrongly, they were not the idealized good person I thought they were, the type of flawless people. How could I be this blind that they are also humans with flaws, just like me? Is it because I had the need to keep up the hero of justice mantle for the kids? Or is it something else? People will probably demand me to exact justice on those two, but can I really do it and call it justice? Worse, I heard things did not go well for Ragna over there and the passing of Miss Platinum...(Back to your awesome dose ofBang music!)But mark these words of Bang Shishigami! As long as breath escapes my throat, I will not just give up on the spirit of goodness! I will not condemn Miss Litchi and Master Carl for their actions, if I could do that to Jin Kisaragi, I'm sure I can do it again to them! And I will stand against the looming evil that comes next! I heard it was the very Goddess of Death herself, Izanami. Well!Bring It! For the sake of goodness, and even if Gods needs to be smacked down, I, Bang Shishigami, shall becomeThe Hammer. Of... JUSTIIIIICCEEE!!!!Be sure to tune in toCentral Fictionfor the latest Bang Shishigami action and tales of justice!\u2014BZZT\u2014 (We apologize, there has been another reset phenomenon by Master Unit Amaterasu.)Huh? What is this? I am... back in Kagutsuchi? Back with the good old days where it's all dandy with me and Tao, while I am still friends with Miss Litchi...? And I'm still hunting this... Grim Reaper? OOH! WHAT BLISS!! But wait, something is amiss... why is it that Kagura is the Hero of Ikaruga? Something seems not right... but why can't I remember in details? I know, I am an idiot at times, but this should have been something that not even Bang Shishigami can forget! Hmmm... errrmmm... Well there's this white haired man with red jacket. Seems unassuming, but that can't be the Grim Reaper... Huh...? Wha...!?Oh, NOW I remember! I remember everything! So right now after that, we're within the Embryo created by... Nine, one of the Six Heroes!? Why wouldanother hero fall to evil!?How can this beee!?And she said to fulfill my wish, I must defeat either Izanami... or the Master Unit... which happens to be the innocent Miss Noel Vermillion!? True, I know I have my dreams of rebuilding Ikaruga in the most proper way possible... but no! I definitely won't go through it, that goes against my justice to strike against an innocent for selfish desires! But then comes Ragna and he tried to devour my dreams just because I possessed it in the first place!? It was a harsh battle, while I managed to survive, he succeeded his mission. What was that about...?Just right after that, the Red Devil Iron Tager approached me and asked me to help Miss Litchi. And now I finally see the big picture... Roy was her lover, and she felt guilty of being 'responsible' of how he turned into the creature known as Arakune and has been trying to make amends... That was why she ended up being manipulated by Relius Clover back then... That fiend, trying to prey an innocent at their weakest! People may say that she betrayed justice, but to strike her with vengeance after learning all that would mean the greatest injustice of all! Therefore I offer myself to help Miss Litchi confront her problem and Tao also tagged along! It eventually came to a conclusion that Miss Litchi was set to finally defeat Arakune once and for all instead of sparing him like before, coming to terms about how her lover won't come back in spirit. However, this will not do! The burden of killing a loved one is harsh, so I will carry it for her! I won't let Miss Litchi cry again, which she has been doing during all this battle! So there I fought with all my might against Arakune... but it was at that time that everything, including me... all returning to seithr...How anticlimatic!!Regardless, it seemed that it was up to Ragna to save the day, and it seemed that he and Noel vanquished Izanami! Wait a moment, something's wrong with Hakumen! His body has turned black and green! No, it can't be. You're saying that's Terumi's true form and only Ragna can stop him?! Though I am unable to assist the Bloodedge in his final confrontation with that damnable ghoul, I will be with him in spirit. And by all that is good, Ragna finally delivers justice to that ghoul, killing him for good!Sob...You've made this ninja proud, damn it!And so the tale of the Azure ends with Ragna erasing his memories to everyone. I may not be the main hero of this whole thing... this is not my show after all, but I, Bang Shishigami, swore that I am proud to have taken part of this whole epic! As of what I'm doing afterwards? Rebuilding Ikaruga, like usual. It was what Lord Tenjo wanted of me, and I chose to respect Miss Litchi and her memories with Roy by no longer being a stalker to her, she seemed to have taken his advice well enough to move on with her life.I want her to be happy after all.But wait... what about Master Carl?... WHAT!? Are you saying that Relius managed to get through him and he has taken more drastic measures and colder, sourer view in trying to save his sister!? And my teachings...forgotten!?NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!Ragna's tale may be over, but the tales of this world is not yet over!! And so is Bang Shishigami's tales of heroism! Tune in next time, where hopefully my tales of justice will help people further, including Master Carl's! Until then, stay tuned and I'll see you next... next... hm... it's too long to call it a week... ehm... NEXT TIME!noteAnd if rumors are true, then next time, I would havea chance for a showdown with my predecessor,President Chipp Zanuff!I cannot hold this excitement for long!!Tropes of justice that befits Bang Shishigami!Anime Hair: Gawk into the wondrous spiky hair of Bang Shishigami! One of the craziest of the trope examples!Arch-Enemy: *clenches fist upwards*JIN KISARAGIIIII!!!!Even if you are technically on our side inChronophantasma, you had better fix that rotten attitude of yours, or else!Badass Normal: All these feats I do?Solely based on training alone!None of those Armagus thingies, I didn't even know how to use the Rettenjou all the time I fought!BGM Override: Whenever I activated mySuper Mode, my awesomeness imploded so greatly there are great chorus overriding the musics everywhere.Butt-Monkey: It was well recorded in the ancient times that I, Bang Shishigami, used to be the butt end of the joke of everyone else.

For added effect,put onone ofmysickjamswhile you'reat it, too!And one more thing...THIS PAGE'S GOT UNMARKED SPOILERS.So don't come crying to me, if for whatever crazy reason you wanna unlearn something awesome I did! Happy reading, chumps!)(a large, ominous castle pooling with lava waited with trepidation and awe for the arrival of the handsomest, manliest king known to man...as I stomp my way toward the throne room, I bark out the order:)OPEN THE DOORS!(and so...with gusto, my troops popped open those massive doors, as my muscled, powerful self was framed in shadow)Kamek: Behold...the King of the Koopas!(stomp...stomp...)(rears my head back...for a triumphant laugh!)GWAHAHAHAHAHA!Did someone page the king of awesome?Well, if so, it took 'em long enough! I don't know what kinda messed up mind would think thatOl' Purple 'Stachedeserved a page before me... it just ain't fair!I always hog his spotlight, so clearly I should deserve even MORE of it!The dude's a loser if you ask me! And yeah, seriously, youdon'tgotta tell me thatEggygot a page too...noteDr. Eggman:Hello!but that's not enough awesome villainy for this site! So who better to provide more grade-A, prime-cut, 100% evilnoteOkay, maybe not always.than the meanest, toughest tyrant around -KING BOWSER!Unless you nerds were livin' under a rocknotewhich, if you are...Get Out!How do you evenEATdown there?!! ...S-Scratch that, I'd rather not know., I don't think I gottahavean introduction! I'm just that big of a deal, baby! Right now I'd just jump right into the tropes from here, but...bah! Forget it, I guess I can make sure the rock-dwellin' losers know my name well too. I might even get a couple minions outta it!I'm Bowser, the supreme leader and ruler of the whole Koopa Troop and kingdom, and I've pretty much been callin' the shots since I was a baby Koop! I got a wonderful little boy, Jr. (ask about his mom and I'll fry ya!), and seven...fellasworking under me known as the Koopalings! Now you might be askin', if I'm a king, how come I don't have a crown? Well, I figured thatmy long, flowing locksshould do the talking! Me and my troops are all about evil plans, especially those to do with thewaylamer, wuss-ville Mushroom Kingdom, where those linguini lappingMario Bros.laze around in!Trust me, I've known both of 'em since we were kids... they REALLY suck. They'reEVERYTHINGI can't stand about idiots tryna look like heroes! They look like man-babies, theyactlike man-babies, and considering that they gotnothingelse to do with their lives besides trashing my plans and looking stupid, I'm gonna just take a wild guess and say that they'relegitman-babies! If you ever wanna see a real pain in the tail who trounces all over a perfectly good evil plan, look no further than that pair of spaghetti squash for brains! ...Though I gotta admit,they sure know how to set up a good time for even me and the son...but I just see races and sports as more opportunities to stick a victory into their faces!So, apart from stomping plumbers flat, what's my big deal with that shroom kingdom? Well, I'll give you two words; Princess Peach! Iusedto snatch Peach so I could use her magic for whatever I wanted (hey, with how annoying they are, those Toadsdeservedbeing bricked up) ...but...eh...to keep that long story short,that changed a little bit after a while......I'mblushing?!YOU'RE blushing!!Anyway, you can probably get the gist of my routine by now.I roll up, I grab Peach, hope to the stars she loves me for anything, the pasta punks chase me across different worlds to stop me...aside from meLOSINGevery time, I think the schtick hasn't gotten old! If there's anything that makes evil plans kick-butt, it's making 'em timeless! I've been nabbin' Peach anywhere and anywhen I can! I've stolen herfromhercastle,on her vacation(and my own!),in my dreams(no, seriously,don't youdarelaugh),stuffed her INTO her castle using its own Power Stars,tossed Mario out of her castle so I could take it over personally,stole some Star Rod doohickey and took her whole castle hostage on top of my own,teamed up with some weird papery version of me to get our Peaches and take out BOTH our Marios (and Luigi),set up a whole wedding for her, on the MOON...shoot, I even kidnapped PeachIN SPACE....twice!...(stomps the ground hard)WAKE UP, DUDE!Jeez, I didn't know nerds like you got bored so easily! You wouldn't know how to respect your rulers if it was punching you in the face with a THWOMP! Hmph, whatever, I think you get the point... I've been nabbing Peacha lotover the years, and I'll just keep doing itoverandOVERuntil the deed is done! I don't even care how many times I lose,oneof these days she'll fall for me and dump stachey boy in the... well...DUMP!!!Who wouldEVERfall in love with that stache-grooming,pasta-scarfing, shroom-smuggling,wahooing, minion-squishing,Yoshi-riding, coin-hogging, toilet-CLEANING LOSER LIKE THAT?!! IT'S SO DISGUSTING! HE'S A LOSER! AND, OOOH... DO I... REALLY... HATE HIM!!!(blows a large stream of fire up at the ceiling)CURSE YOU, MARIOOOOOO!!!...Grrrr... gimme a sec... yeah, let's forget about that whole Peach thing for now. The more I think about it, I think up a thousand more ways to stomp Mario's pudgy face in. It probably goes without saying, but no good villain is an one-trick pony! I've pulled off plenty of cool schemeswithoutlaying a finger on Peachy! Case in point,I caught those little fairy things to power my own amusement parknotetry and beat MY production value, Eggy!,crashed pretty much all of Mario's silly little get-togethers,and once trashed a whole island with some new awesome power born from my rage!Crud, Junior... I still gotta ground that dang kid for painting all over my face... I just wanted a nap!!Of course, you probably didn'tjustsee me pullin' off one awesome boss fight after another! I've graced the world of television with my handsome mug,where I had a million different identities and was willing to cause some big trouble with every one of 'em!Speakin' of trouble, I've just recently dominated a kingdom of penguins dressed as wannabe royals for the Super Star they've hidden away, all comin' to you on the big screen! GRAB YOUR TICKETS FOR THE BOWSER MOVIE, NERDS!And there was also... uh\u2026the weird human me.W-We... we don't talk about the weird human me.EITHERof them.Anyway, enough of all that! I think I've covered all the basics... now time to get troping! Keep 'em accurate! Write it how I would! And most importantly, don't half-shell it or else I'm pulling out the spiny shells! Now scram, and don't disappoint!Gwahahahahaaa!!These are the biggest, baddest tropes around, and don't you forget 'em!open/close all foldersA-DAccessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Hey, look...Icanwear clothes, I just have the choicenotto. The shell and bands are enough to get mymanlinessacross! Now don't think about it too hard, andDON'T GET ANY WEIRD IDEAS.Achilles' Heel: I don't even know if Iwannaknow why, but...I can pretty tank anyone in a fightEXCEPTfor Mario! And...well, any one of his chump pals too now that I think of it, but especially the moron himself. I'm attributin' it to really crummy luck until then!Acrofatic: Go ahead, buddy, call me lardy all you want, but what you're really lookin' at is pure muscle! This is a Koopa who knows how to REALLY throw his weight around! Heck, I can jump higher thanMarioif I feel like it!Adaptational Villainy: Oh, don't get me wrong,I'm a nasty piece of work, alright, butmy grand return to theatersis...Uh... Simply showing offwhat Icoulddo if I just went all-out. Nogoing easy on my troops, nohesitating with tortureortryin' to drop prisoners into lava, not evenPeach would have gotten a pass for trying to weasel out of our wedding. Like I said,I could've done that kind of stuff if wanted to,I. Just. Don't. Feel like it.End of story, moving on!Besides,it's not like the usual laughs aren't therewhen you're played by ol' Jacky.Actually a Doombot: GWAHAHA! Don't fool yourself into thinkin' you beat me in, like, worldone. That's probably just a minion I had who disguised themselves as me!I also pulled this off at one tower I had, just to make sure Ikeep on winning!Adipose Rex: If you're thinking I'm just a slow tubby guy, you're in for a surprise! I'm atankof muscle who can slam anyone down into the ground in a second!Advancing Boss of Doom: When Iused Mario's goofy little powerups against him, I was doubling myself over and over as he climbed up my great tower! It was justswarmingwith adorable kitty me's, and I stood at the very top, cornering that pesky wimp...I almost had him on the ropes, until I remembered that someAIRHEADleft a POW block there!! Gee, THANKS for that!A Father to His Men:I don't always show it, but my troops follow me outta respect and honor, and I keep 'em around for it. No more, no less!Affably Evil: Me?Nice?...Pfft, I don't like to think so, but...alright, look, Idoreally love Peach, and youbetI will for my whole life. I just don't understand why she'd choose that pizza addict over me...well, alright, I guess Mario isn'tallbad. If there's one thing I can respect him for, it's for the challenge he gives me!A God Am I: Well, I don't really come out andsayit, but I surefeelit a lot of times! One time I've been able to make a whole galaxy and I've been prepping to make Peach my eternal queen by my side...bummerthatdidn't happen. I've also gotten godlike power through a lot of cool powerups, like the Grand Stars and that one weird Dream Stone! I still miss my rainbow flame, that was so rad...Alternate Self: Do we really have to talk about the human me? Grr... fine.The human version of mewasn'ttoobad I guess,Dennywas the only thing keeping that movie from being a total stinker, even if I looked more like aSleazy PoliticianthanThe ConquerorI really am.And Now You Must Marry Me: If Peach is reading this, YOU BETTER! Just let me pick out a really pretty gown for ya and I'll crash by! ...um, would you be okay wearing white? Wait a sec- HEY!YOUHEARD NOTHING, TROPE-DOPE!Anti-Climax Boss: Do I REALLY have to...?! ...Okay, much as I hate to admit it, I do have a track record of fights that aren't that challenging.My first shot against Marioisn't much of a step up from the fakes I sent his way... The first six breathed fire, and the last one threw hammers. You know I'm the real deal 'cuz I do both at once! I still go down easily if you just run past me and cut that stupid bridge like a spoilsport,instead of fighting me like a REAL man with no power-ups to help you...But cut me a break! That was the first game I popped up in, so it was a beginner's mistake! Plusjust getting through my castle is a challenge enough already.You know, BESIDES the stupid bridge architecture...In myrematch with Mario, I'm a totally unique enemy with NO fakes at all... who still doesn't put up much of a fight. I try to jump and do a good Bowser Bomb right on top of Mario, which is so weighty it smashes part of the floor! Of course considering how much of a slippery slimeball he is, he can dodge the attack easily, andif I smash the same spot in the center of the floor three times, I fall through it, and he wins.Again...WHO DESIGNED THIS ARENA?! I still breathe fire at Mario too, buthe's such a pipsqueak that he makes my aim get so cruddy, I can't even hit him if he's below me!Jeez...I gotta get myself better castle designers, ones that don't actively PUT MY LIFE AT RISK.Thelevel Mario has to get throughwhen he interrupts my family vacationwas brutal enough, soI went easy on him!Hey, it was tough for ME to go through that stupid mountain, I empathize with him! All beating me in that game takes is aGround Poundin the right place on the stage, and knock me out of my nice, scalding hot bath. RUDE.My second battle with Mario in spacegets screwed up ROYAL in the final phase where I fight Mario in the middle of a black hole...and this time the loser just needs to ground pound rocks into me. Hey, SHUT IT, it's not my fault! I would never design a fight so short the player doesn't get to enjoy the great final boss theme!COSMOLOGY SUCKS AND ISN'T FAIR!Mario caught me off guard when hecrashed my wedding with Peach,so I didn't have time to come up with any new attacks from our last fight apart from souping up what I already had.Hey, so we're clear,those strats worked out the THIRD time! I just needed to work extra hard and throw you nerds off-guard!Anti-Villain: Sometimes I may look like I'm stirrin' up some evil, but some of my goals aren't that evil! What's the big problem with decorating my castle with those pretty Mini Stars? Remodelling's not evil!Arch-Enemy: Yeah, NO DUH! Once a plumber hater,alwaysa plumber hater! I've fought tougher chumps in my time, but none of them, ZERO of them have EVER grinded my gears the way Mario does! I mean, with how many times he's wrecked my plans, it almost feels like he's expecting me toyieldone of these days! Well, guess what, fat boy...I DO NOT.Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: You know what they say about big people having a big presence!I once went on a galactic conquest while huge the whole time,I always get to have a snappy Giga look in those Smash tournaments, and in thatweird dreamy world?I was able toOUT-HUGELuigi. That's what daily servings of spicy hot meat can give ya, kids! Gwa ha!Awesome Ego: Look, when you've got yourself a huge kingdom and an even huger adoring following, how could yanotgive yourself a pat on the shell for it?Back from the Dead: More often than I'd like...sometimes when I fall into lava, I get to come back as a Dry Bones for a while. It stings...alot, but I always go back to my living prime!Badass Armfold: Always love that pose! Besides, it gives me a free reason to show off my hulking guns!Badass Cape:Usedto wear one back in the day, but I quit for two reasons; the stupid thing never stayed on my shell right, and when it comes to battle, I keeptrippingover it! So then and there I learned a lesson in trouncing plumber boy:NO CAPES!Badass in a Nice Suit: I got the best tailors over at my kingdom, and they only give me their best! I got a gorgeous wedding suit, a smokin' hot doctor's coat, some hip sports outfits...you name it, I got it! Just don't ask about the metal-plated shoes...Koopa anatomy is apainsometimes!The Bad Guy Wins: Oh yeah! It's true, people! Mario may win almost all the time, but I actually got one total win over his sorry rear! Ready to hear it?! Here ya go...I booted him off my bubble making tower!... Look, it'smuchmore impressive than it sounds, stop staring at me!!Benevolent Boss: What good's a king if not grateful to his workers? My troops fear me for sure, but that was never the reason why they came to me. They just joined my army because I'm that awesome! Movie me on the other hand...hmph,at least the dude still knows how to keep 'em all in line!Berserk Button: The moment plumber boy starts up with me is the moment Mr. Nice Bowser goes buh-bye!note...well, that and someone reading my diary...wait,WHYIS MY DOOR OPEN?!Beware the Silly Ones: Oh, you think I'm silly, huh? Well, say that againafterseeing mepunch a dark, ancient copycat of me to death!And that's justoneachievement I got under my belt!Big Bad: Pfft,what gave that one away?!I amTHEbig bad anywhere I go, pure and simple! And I'm not bluffing - look up that world records' top 100 video game villains, and yours truly is right where he belongs - the tip-top!noteGLaDOs:Youarekiddingme.YouDOunderstandthattheONlyreasonIamSECondplacecouldbeBEcauseIwasturnedintoA POTATO.Don'tbother BRAGging,itmightmakeyouMOREtolerAble.Yeah, yeah, keep on shakin' salt, robo-lady! SUCKERS DON'T TAKE THE PRIZE!Big Bad Duumvirate: While Iusuallydon't care to make it last, I did work with a few other guys to take Mario out in the past, including another me! There was also that one weird Antasma guy...heh,noregrets on dumping that sorry dingbat.Big Bad Wannabe:YOU DARE CALL ME A WANNABE?! I OUGHTA PUMMEL YOU SILLY,YOU\u2014!!!...(heavy sigh)Fine...yeah, I was duped, humiliated or used a lot in the past, but I've straightened out, really! Just don't remind me about all that crud, I'm tired of being possessed by weirdos!! Why else would I still be around when most of them aren't?Big Beautiful Man: Oh, you'dbetterbelieve it. I'm a mountain of testosterone just waiting to pump iron and piledrive scrawny nerds like no tomorrow!Boss-Arena Idiocy: Idiot? YOU'RE an idiot! Sorry if you're so stuck up about it, but to me,NOTHINGis wrong with putting an axe near my bridge!And besides, it ain't ME who approved it! It's just the bozos who design my castles who screw up such an awesome, super-climatic setup every single time!Breakout Villain: Before me, Mario had some no-name pinheads goin' up and at him, like...uh...that one foreman dude, and I think Donkey Kong's grandpa? Yeah, you don't remember these chumps becauseIturned out to be so much cooler than them! Gwa ha ha!Breath Weapon: My trusty Captain Flame usually does a lot of the talkin' for me, though after that little bean nerd conned me, I also got myself aVacuum Mouthpower on top of that!Butt-Monkey: Call me that again and I'll punch you into next month, buddy! ...Though Iguessit's right. The whole stinkin' world is against me sometimes, especially when there's some nobody trying to upstage me... good thing I've moved past that crud after that Antasma guy tried it!I'd even rather be called anIronButt Monkeyfor how I'mstillhere after everything they've dished out!Card-Carrying Villain: I justlovebeing mean! I don't need no reason or purpose for it, it's just all running in my blood! And if you got an issue with it...too bad!Catchphrase: I had a few that stuck for a while, though they neverreallylasted like that shroomface Mario's did.Way back then I always used to say this ol' chestnut: \"He who koops and runs away gets to koop another day!\" Hey, it's dated now, but it's still ringin' true in my book!I also got a habit of saying \"I'll remember this!\" whenever someone screws me over in one of Mario's dumbo parties. And trust me, I still rememberEVERYsingle one!! I don't need to forgive if I don't forget!Ooh, yeah, and there's also my personal favorite...SHOWTIME!Cats Are Mean: Just fetch me a Super Bell, and I'll have Meowser prove that to you! Hope you don't mind all the property damage! BWAHAHA!Chained by Fashion: Well, I don't wearchainsper say, though I don't think my stylish collar and armbands are holdin' me back from looking like a beast!The Chosen One: Eugh, now you're just making mecringe!WhoCARESif I'm one of these goofball \"heroes of light\" in theLight Proggo-not-worth-reading?!I deserve better than to be lumped with Mario! In fact, I think calling me theChooser of Wimps to Dropkickfits me better, thank youverymuch! GWA HA HA!Clipped-Wing Angel: During the last phase of the fight with me inMario Party 5, I drink a potion to turn into a giant. Unfortunately, it makes me a bittoo big, and I fall through the floor, getting stuck.Clown Car: My go-to ride for when I wanna fly from kingdom to kingdom, or just rain Mechakoopas all over Mario's wimpy face!Though I still think it's got a fuel issue...Cool Car:I've always had plenty of hot rods, but my best one's gotta be the Bowser Mobile I used when I nabbed those puny Sprixies. That thing even lit up all over, and it was just AWESOME!Dark Is Evil: Well, I don't look it myself, but I've got plenty of dark magics and dark castles to make up for it!Though, I don't really wanna take it TOO literally after I messed with that color fountain...A Day in the Limelight: It's way too rare for my taste, but I've gotten a lot more time to shinewhen Fawful decided to crash in,and I also got to totally DOMINATEone of Mario's parties!MAN, I love bein' the center of attention...heh heh heh!Demonic Possession: Rrrrgh...do Ireallygotta talk about this? Fine. A lot of times, my mind's been controlled by...geez,everythingthese days. From a weird witch ghost, to weird black paint, to a weird mega-dragon thing, toSTICKERS?! WHY WOULD A STICKEREVERBRAINWASH ME?!?!I DON'T GET IT! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STATED WHENMARIOUSED CAPPY TO CAPTURE MY SOUL (though he did save me and Peach from inside the moon, so I'll have to give him that,plus he didn't have as much luck with her either)! THAT'S A WHOLENEWLEVEL OF A SLAP TO THE FACE! Funny thing is though, I got to possess stuff too! The black paint Jr. rubbed all over me gave me a huge power boost, but it was really myfurythat did the rest of the work and started makin' everything as crazy as I was. HA! NOW I know how cool it feels!Despotism Justifies the Means: And the means are that you bow down to ME and kiss my tail every day of your life!Making the world better for people?Making my minions be as useless as possible?BAH!What a total waste of time! I prefer my kingdom thriving in my name with my armies working full-time at full strength! This whole world's got my name written all over it, and if I'm gonna take it over only when I'm some old geezer, then that'll be good enough!Determinator: If I ever give up kidnapping Peach, then my name ISN'T King Bowser Koopa! I'll just keep nabbing her, trouncing Mario and taking over those shroomheads untilthe END OF TIME!!Because I got the guts, the perseverance, and the MIGHT to see it all through! OH YEAH!Devil in Plain Sight: For some weird reason, there'sstillbatches of morons who don't even know who I am! I once even had to introduce myself to somebody as a \"businessman of legend\"! What am I to them, the King of GUYS WHO TALK TOPOSTERS?!!Draco in Leather Pants:WHOA, WHOA, MAN! TIME OUT! What makes ya think I'm so stinkin' sweet on the inside, you weeb?! I'mnasty,cruelandWICKEDthroughout! I'm the evilest guy who's ever lived! ... ...well, I still love my son...and Peach, and my troops...Mario can put together a blast of a party, when he actually bothersINVITINGme...and I never really got to ride a Yoshi back when I was a squirt...and...I never knew what happened to Jr.'s mother... ... ... ...j-just somethin' in my eye.Let's...just move on...E-MEgopolis: Awesome castles and awesomer kingdom aside, I even got the coolest city in the world...NEO BOWSER CITY!Where I'm the ever-lovin' president looking out for his people, people get rich on Koopa Koins, and every person's life depends on whether or not they worship me! It's a heck of an awesome place to-WILL YOU STOP BRINGIN' UPDINOHATTAN?!!IT! DOES! NOT! EXIST!Enemy Mine: Itblowswhen I gotta do it, but Mario and Ihaveteamed up to stop some wannabe evil dudes in the past. There wasthe weird robot guy who stole my castle,and that lame count with all his ditzy henchmen workin' for him.I bet you athousandcoins I coulda roasted those chumps to a crisp ALL ON MY OWN. Pff, oh well...at least I got to use a real cool bazooka one time!Even Evil Has Loved Ones: There's nothing, and I mean NOTHING on this world I wouldn't do for my Peach, Kamek, my brat pack of Koopalings or my boy Jr.. I may be evil for sure, but I still got a heart for those who earned it!Even Evil Has Standards: Look, storming a kingdom and taking it over by force is one thing...butplanning to wipe out a whole species?Stealing Peach's voice and swapping it out with a bunch of bombs?Using a black hole to suck up all dimensions?!Thoseare something else altogether!NOTwhat I want to deal with!And let's not get started on so-called supreme entities that plagueSmash. I want to conquer the world/universe, not destroy it!Everyone Owns a Mac: Yeah, I got an iPhone not too long ago! You probably saw me use it to keep Jr.'s Switch parental controls up and running... the kid'sgottastart catching up on his duties soon!Evil Counterpart: I still find it crazythat dark star thinghad to go and copy MY DNA to try and become unstoppable...too bad he didn't copy much of my skill! Though I can't help but think on what he last said...the guy almostactedlike me when I lose. It's...uh...I don't think too deep on that. All I know is, he's gone andgood riddance!Evil Laugh:I bet it's stuck in your head already, isn't it?GWA HA HA HA HA!Evil Is Bigger: And all the better for it! Gwar har har!! When it comes to big bad brutes, I pretty much wrote the book! Everyone else looks like atwerpnext to me!Evil Is Burning Hot: My sweet fire breath, refreshing hot lava, volcano activity all around a fiery castle...heh, notice the pattern?Evil Is Cool: And don't you know it! Everyone loves me for being so awesome and having the funniest scenes in any Mario game whenever I appear. Lots of fans favor me over Mario for this and that I have a much more fully formed personality.Evil Gloating: I know it's Villainy 101 to not gloattoomuch, but I just can't help it! Winning against Mario is just SUCH an awesome rush!Evil Is Hammy: Well, what's the problem in lettin' out your energy and expressing yourself? I'm very passionate about what I do, y'know!Evil Overlord: You're looking at the best of them! I even rule overotherkings like King Boo, so the whole \"overlord\" part fits me to a T now that I think about it!Evil Redhead: I know, my mane is hot stuff! I even groomed it over for my wedding!Evil Sorcerer: Not so much anymore, since punching stuff is more fun, but I've still got bunches of Koopa magic when I need it. Like I said before, I stuffed Toads into blocks, stuffed Peach into her own castle walls, caused a big lightning storm at the Star Festival...I even get to teleport! INSPACE. Awesome, huh?!Evil Sounds Deep: I always got my soothing, alluring baritone to woo Peach over with and yell at my troops with! ...provided I get a glass of water anyway, otherwise it sounds too ugly.Just listen to megive Peach a \"special\" announcementand try not to squee!And y'know, I love the sound of my voice so dang much, I thought that Black-Jack guy hadnochance of doin' it himself! And what do ya know, that dude turned upTENACIOUS!Evil Versus Evil:Everyonetries to copy my style these days, to say nothin' about the times they triedstealingit! I don't work with others unless they're working forme, and that's that! Don't even talk about that king croc guy either, he doesn't know thefirst thingabout treating an army well! Even that ripoff flat me doesn't get thatI'Mthe top dog here!Evil Versus Oblivion: The reason I help Mario, Peach, and Luigifind the Pure Hearts to save the world. I can't rule the world if the world ends.No I did not need Mario to point this out to me.Fiction 500: Wreck a castle of mine? Pssh, oh well, I got like a million more to move into. I got riches that even Mario's fatty knockoff onlywisheshe had!The Fighting Narcissist: I'm pretty sure the whole world knows I'd completelyknock downeveryone else in those Smash tournaments. I GUARANTEE IT! Not thattheysuck at fighting, though alot of 'emdo (seriously, TOO MANY SWORD WEEBS!!), but just that I'm so way ahead of them all!Final Boss: What's a finale without Bowser? A crummy finale, that's what! Chances are, when you think \"final boss\", your mind goes straight tome!I'mTHATlegendary, baby!Foe Yay Shipping:WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?Mario and Iplay games, but...WE! ARE! NOT! A! COUPLE!And even worse, there are those messed up people who like todraw me as a ladyso they can pair with Mario!Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: I'm pretty good at avoiding this, because I'm right there from the start, Iwantyou to know who the real bad guy is. The only time wasjust after that sorry excuse of a lizard rescued Luigi the second time Kamek captured him. Come to think of it, whydidI travel back in time to fight him anyway?Genius Bruiser: Duh! If you wanna be a king, you gotta have some smarts! I've put together a wedding on the moon, hired some of the most dangerous monsters in the Mushroom World to take Mario down, I even managed to runsevendifferent hotels at once with my Koopalings! If those aren't impressive, I can't tell ya what is!Go-Karting with Bowser:Go ahead and thank me for this one.I shouldn't evenbotherwith Mario's dumb tournaments and whatever, but...argh, I can't help it! I'm too competitive to just not jump in!! Don't blame me for just wantin' to trash those wimps and get an easy win!Hair-Trigger Temper:HEY!!!I'm notthatsnappy! It's just that being a king is hard work!Youtry it one day and see how fast the stress comes to your head!Hijacked by Bowser: We can't just let the newbies have all the fun, right? Almost every time a new guy rolls up, I'll normally find a way to pull the rug under their feet and take it from there. Just askPurple 'Stacheand Antasma!Hopeless Boss Fight: The fight with me at the start ofPaper Mariois unwinnable. Mario is only at level 1, and has no abilities besides his basic jump, no party members, and no items or badges. So all he can do is jump on me, and when I use the Star Rod, I become impossible to damage. The only way to win the fight is to hack the game, which you shouldn't do because the game is programmed to advance only if Mario loses the fight, so defeating me causes the game to crash.Hostile Show Takeover: Let's face it, just leaving the fun to Mario and punks would just beboring. That's why I love to step in and spice things up! After all, I'm already doing it right here, aren't I?Humanity Ensues: Oh now what? I already talked about Denny, I don't have another human self. Wait, you don't mean...OH NO, we are not talking aboutTHATversion of me, I'll burn you to a crisp if you even think of bringing her up! It took me months to forget about all the \"art\" you freaks made of her. I'd rather you fantasize about meRESPECTFULLY, not...yeesh, the weird crudyouthink up. That crown doesn't even work on me!Hypocritical Heartwarming:You got NO permission to kidnap Peach OR lay a finger on Mario! OnlyIcan do those two things! And hey, what do ya mean by that?! It's not sweet or hypocritical, it's...well...I just don't want anyone stealing my schtick!Fawful brainwashing my henchmen and abusing them pisses me off! Only I am allowed to abuse my henchmen!Hypocritical Humor: An event I can set up inMario Partyis to make the person who lands on my space play the minigame the 1v3 Bash 'n' Cash. Normally, the three players hit the one player and try to collect the coins they drop. In my event, I instead get the dropped coins, and after seeing how many coins the poor player loses, I remark about what terrible people the other players are. That is unless they don't lose any coins, then I just take their coins.Implacable Man: The day you find something that wipes me off the map is the day I open up a city called Dinohattan! In short...NEVER!!!Improbably High I.Q.: Haven't ya heard? I got 9,800 IQ! Elephants can't eventhinkabout the brilliance I'm made out of!Identity Amnesia: Somethin' or other hit me on the head whilePeach's voice got stolen, and from what I remember...I think I was workin' for some pipsqueak crook? Dude kept callin' meRookie, what a slap in the facethatis! Bah! Like any of it matters now! I put the pieces back together myself with my huge, sinister brain! And I remembered that I am...BOWSER, THE KOOPA KING!It's All About Me: So? It really is! Whatever kingdom, fancy castle, cute princess, magic something-or-other, anything cool you got? ALL MINE.Jerkass: Thanks for the kind words! Gwa ha ha ha!Joker Immunity: C'mon. Would you really wantmeto just kick the bucket and go away? If a wholegalaxycollapsing in on me won't take me out, what makes ya thinkanything else can?!BAHAHAHA! I mean, it's definitely more than whatthat really lame clownwent through!The Juggernaut: Don't even push your luck if you know what's good for you; I'm fast, strong AND smart! I can crush even the biggest posers without breaking a sweat!Kaiju: When I'm not just huge, I've taken on a lot of giant monster looks in the past. Imagine seeing Giga me orFury memessing up your city! You'd all be DOOMED! GWA HA HA HA!King Koopa Copy:Another thing I made!Wouldn't you know it, I wound up beingsodaring and unstoppable, that I was inspiring a lot of my fellow villains! From that backstabber Ganon (okay, at least that poser got the hint and got a makeover), to that wimp K. Rool, to that goofus Dedede...just to list off a few! There's even one from Eggy's joint that he tried to control. What's his name again...Zippy? Eh, who cares.Knight of Cerebus: Ooh, yeah. When I mean business, I make sure you know it! I was pretty no-nonsense when it came to my first galactic conquest, and both me and paper me were way straight to the point after our kids got beaten up. Shell hath no fury like a papa scorned!Large and in Charge: Just because I'mHUGEdoesn't mean I'm some lumbering doofus, buddy! They call me King Koopa because there's no better army leader like me!Laughably Evil: What?! You think I'm funny?! Do I look like I'm joking, buddy?! NOPE. I'm only funny when it comes at the expense ofothers!Lightning Bruiser: Sometimes I might be a bit slow, but I'm usually a lot faster than what my size makes me look like! I'm a powerhouse of destruction AND dynamics!Made of Iron: I've fallen down lava pools and pits, got dunked out of my space tub, fell right into my own sun, got launched into orbit, I even got sucked into BLACK HOLES...and not a single scratch on me!Magnificent Bastard: Bwa ha ha! What can I say about that? I'm not Mario's number one thorn in his side for nothing! I've been pulling off brilliant stuff,especiallymorerecently, and I plan on keepin' the roll going!Malevolent Mugshot: If it doesn't have my face all over it, it's just not Bowser territory! But really, who would get sick of that handsome face of mine? You'dwannasee it everywhere!!N-YNever My Fault: Never was, never is, never gonna be! Not one thing is wrong with my kick-tail plans, and anyone sayin' otherwise isLYINGto you! It's either Mario stinking it up or whatever wannabe loser decides to tag along with me! Have I mentioned how much AntasmaSUCKED?!Nigh-Invulnerable: You can literally dunk me in lava and have my scales burn off my bones, and chances are I'llSTILLbe planning out my revenge later on as a skeleton. Just toreallyclue you in...Mario dunked me into my galaxy's ownsun, and my galaxyexploded...and I'mstillhere, all fired up!note...what? What're you talkin' about, \"the universe got destroyed that time and then came back\"? How come no one toldme?!Nominal Hero: Being a good guy is just soobnoxious! Whenever I'm working with Mario, I'monlydoin' it because I gotta do it! The second the problem's solved, I'm STRAIGHT back to my evil comfort zone!No One Could Survive That!: When I fought one of that weird count's henchmen, he and I had to deal with a falling ceiling which we tried but couldn't lift up. So yeah...so ends the story of the mighty Bowser, right? OF COURSE NOT! Even Greeny and Peach knew I'd power through it at the end - in fact, I really just fell through the floor and came out no worse for wear!Not Zilla: And in fact, BETTER than 'Zilla! Any time I get to go huge, it's one HECK of a spectacle to behold! Trains are total paperweights! I get to wreck whole towers!I completely screwed up my home insurance!...um. IGNORE THE LAST BIT. Like I said, I got more castles than just that one!Orcus on His Throne: I usually just sit and chill until Mario stops by my castle. Though not all the time! If I feel impatient and wanna trounce the dude way earlier, I'll do it in no time!Other Me Annoys Me:Little dude megot on my nerves at first, but he's grown on me pretty fast by the time we fought those wimpy plumbers andtheirlittle dudes. Paper me though? Well...he's an adult, I can totally work with him, butman, I cannot STAND his unoriginality!Papa Wolf: Go right ahead. Beat up my boy. No, seriously, Idareyou to do it. I'll be willing to jam you in a book and light you onFIREif you evenTHINKabout it!Pet the Dog: I am a villain, but that doesn't mean I have to be mean all the time.I do love my son, and I apologize to him for lying about Peach being his mother.I am inMario Partyto mess with the players, but sometimes I am nice to them. I will give out coins if they don't have any to steal, and sometimes I will give out useful items.The Mario Bros defeating me againon Pi'illo Islandputs me in abad mood!Still, The Elite Trio did all they could, so I didn't get mad at them.Plot-Irrelevant Villain: WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I'mALWAYSpublic enemy number one when I'm around! What do you mean I'm...grr...AARRGH! FINE!I had NOTHING TO DO with that whole Crystal Star thing, okay?!I was just following Mario's trail, and I keep arriving after he's already found the Crystal Star, because he's always CHEATING WITH HIS SHORTCUTS. When I finally catch up to him at the end of the game, I wind up just being clobbered anyway! I don't even know what happened to Peach! Doesn't anyone thinkIdeserve to know?! Hmph...oh well. My awesome fans still agree that I was the highlight of the whole adventure, so who cares if I didn't get to do much?!Poke the Poodle: There's nothing more entertaining than the small things in life...like crashingMario's stupid parties, taking their hard-earned coins and stars. Man, I LOVE this villain gig!Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: I've got bunches of these that I'm proud of, but here are just my top favorites to hype you up:\"Mario! You again! Well that's just fine\u2014I've been looking for something to fry with my fire breath! Your Star Power is useless against me! Your friends are all trapped in the walls... And you'll never see the princess again!\"\"Finally! You got here just in time to see the creation of my galaxy in the center of the universe! WATCH AND WEEP! From this galaxy, I'll rule a great galactic empire with Peach by my side. It will last forever! I will rule every pitiful corner of the universe. So, Mario, as you can see, I got big plans. And stomping you is at the top of my list!\"\"Hey... guess what, Mario! Breathe a sigh of relief, because it'll be your last! Know why?! Because this is finally the end...The end of YOU!\"\"GWAHAHA! Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH!\"Promoted to Playable: In case you go insane from playing as that ultra-boring drain-brain plumber - and let's be honest, nobody would blame you if ya did - I'm usually available in most spinoff games...but folks, what if I told ya I was playable in amaingame? You better get the reporters and cameras ready for this one!! ...it's really not all that.Mario just possesses meand only uses...what, TWO of my awesome abilities?

GAHAHA!Red and Black and Evil All Over: Not myself, but I like making my flags and logos in these colors, just so people KNOW I'm bad news all around! On the flipside of that, Ikindadid become all red and black when I went crazy at Lake Lapcat...but the less said on that, the better!Red Eyes, Take Warning: Youbetter, pal! The last thing you wanna see are these gorgeous eyes giving you a death glare! And believe me, it'swaymore scary than what Green 'Stache can make!Red Herring: Backwhen that green doofus thought he won a mansionfrom a contest he didn't even enter, the scardy cat found signs of me all over that run down mansion, it made him think I was responsible for Mario going missing.It actually wasn't me that time! That runt King Boo finally decided to get his ghost hands dirty and fight greeny but lucky for him, that is only a puppet controlled by that wannabe king. His silly vacuum cleaner wouldn't have a chance against the real me!Reptiles Are Abhorrent:That's KOOPA to you, buddy!But thanks for the compliment, I try my best to be my worst! Bwa ha ha!Royals Who Actually Do Something: Now you get me! Every other royal chump out there (not counting Peach...hugs and kisses to you!) thinks that just sitting around and looking stupid pretty (huge emphasis onSTUPID) means that they can have whatever they want! Well, guess what,your lownesses! When I want something, I come out andTAKE IT! And your kingdoms are way up on the list, so pack your things and eat dirt!Secondary Color Nemesis: So...whatabout my colors? Orange and green just look so much more stylish than red and blue! Ick, that kinda gets sore on the eyes after a bit... My luxurious hair is all the redIneed, thank you very much, and I can look a bit yellow-ish anyway. Speakin' of secondary colors, I also rocked some purple a few times (just don't tell that lanky wimp!).Smug Super: When I get a boost in power, I just can't help but rub it all over Mario's face!

Why? ...Because it's COOL to time-travel! Need another reason?!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Ah!I remember the time when my troops obtainedthe triforcewhen suddenly, out came Ganondorf. I never expected it to be a trapor when I lost? It infuriates me! All because I had no holy weapons to finish him? I have a magic paintbrush for crying out loud!On the flipside of that,I'vestomped not one, butthreechumps without a hitch!

Get enough dirty hits in on me,and I'll kick into Fury gear to bring down the REAL PAIN!Villain Ball:I don't know what a villain ball is,but it's caught my interest...maybe I'll grab it after I kidnap Peach again for the heck of it! But what to do when Mario gets there...uh...fight him on a bridge with an axe! YES! PERFECT!Villainous Rescue: When Mario and his pals celebrate their victory over me in the Baseball Kingdom, Mario provides fireworks by hitting little Bomb-ombs into the sky. Wario and Waluigi are, of course, sore about losing to the Mario Bros and load a full-size Bullet Bill into the cannon shooting the baseballs to try and blew up Mario. Well, nobody pulls any dirty tricks on Mario without my say-so, so I hit that Bill right back at Wario and Waluigi and blow them sky-high!Villain Protagonist: Don't let anyone tell you otherwise; that whole Fawful thing was stopped thanks to ME. Those lasagna noodles couldn't have done a THING without me! Though...I still gotta pummel them for screwing around inside my bod. Howdarethey?!Villain Song:Yeah, some while back I actually used to do some musical numbers. They haven't aged that fine, but I gotta admit, my voice wassmoothstuff!I'm sure at least one of ya knows about THIS oldie...For my return to the big screen, I came withthis sick power ballad about my love for Peach.

Someone gimme a dang break!Movie me isn't safe from stress either,but then again, I'll be one to empathize; he wasn't the only one who had his wedding go down the Thwomper.Hmph.Villainous Friendship: When it comes to all my fellow villains who I worked with or squared off against, who's the one who'salwaysgot my back?The doc who blew up the moon!noteEggman:You're far too kind, my rambunctious reptilian acquaintance! And if you need a big celestial object blown up yourself for whatever reason, just give me a ring!Villainous Glutton: I got a big appetite and little regard for the starving! Though...maybe notwaybig. I still got bad memories from Fawful stuffing all that food down my gullet...What the Hell, Dad?: Telling Jr. I lied about Peach being his mama was...tough. It was really tough. I'm still surprised the little squirt forgave me at the end, but...geez, what waswrongwith me? Though maybe he just played along to have his first big shot at the pipe-cleaner, 'cause he was hoping to do it again. That's my boy!The Worf Effect: Why is it thateverynewbie villain just has to mop the floor with me before anything else?! Don't they even know who I am?! Because if not, I'm getting the feeling that batface Antasma will tell them all about what Ireallyam! HA HA!Worthy Opponent: No wonder I went ahead and picked Mario as my arch-nemesis...the guy's so hard to crush, butmandoes he know how to put up an awesome fight! I guess I could count Luigi as a good one too, his weird dream powers sorta won me over.Younger Than They Look: If that's your way of saying I'm ugly...SHUT UP!You can't tell from my chick magnet muscles, but this big bad boss isn't even half a hundred years old!

Like I'd get to be a king THAT fast! That stuff takes time, ya know! What were you chumps even gonna use that info for anyway?!...oh wait, LET ME GUESS...Your Size May Vary: Yeah, I said earlier that I'm real huge and all, but it really depends onhowhuge.

And I thought the Toons were the worst I'd have to deal with...Listen, I'll just cut straight to the point: This page is about me, Chip Revvington. I am the current head of the Deforester Force, located in the Woodchip/Paper District (or Acorn Acres, as our enemies like to call it). This page will containquite a bit of classified information about my last encounter with those critters.So if you have not saw our battle, I am going to have to ask you to leave.Oh, and please don't make me angry.You don't want to see what happens when I get angry.Alright, let me get back on track. Prior to my tenure at C.O.G.S. Inc., I had previously worked at S.C.R.E.W., B.E.L.T., and C.R.A.N.K. in leadership positions. However, 19 months ago, I had applied to a position at C.O.G.S., providing several risk assessments to the company, with the one I provided to the Stone/Iron district (or Ye Olde Toontowne. Again, what our enemies like to call it) and the positive response to it being what inspired me to apply for a management position when they opened up in the company fairly recently.I was greatly delighted to hear that I did indeed get the promotion and would also become the leader of a brand new task force deployed to make room to expand the headquarters of the Bossbot department, although some modifications had to be made to my suit before I could be onboarded to the position of regional manager in the Woodchip/Paper District and leader of the Deforester Force. At first, I tried to advocate for a close friend of mine, Spruce Campbell, to be given a position in the Deforester Force. He had been appointed to the same district as a regional manager, and he has plenty of experience in this line of work. However, I was told that the Cashbot department was still in the greatest needs for him. So sadly, I could not get him to lead the Deforester Force alongside me. However, considering my current predicament, I now consider that to have been a blessing in disguise. They probably would've... Ugh, I feel bad even thinking about it.Yeah, this promotion wasn't exactly what you would call \"ideal\". Sure, more responsibilities are to be expected with any promotion, especially one in management, but I swear, most of my deforesting work gets interrupted by calls to limb the company of unwanted employees. The one thing that makes my oil bubble is how they all blame me for their termination! Sure, I am the one giving the pink slip, but it isn't my call to make. I'm just doing what the higher-ups command me to do! I don't like this any more than you do, it's just my job to do it! And I want show them my empathy, but I can't!

I showed up when the red-and-whitenoteReimu Hakureiand the black-and-whitenoteMarisa Kirisameflew over the Misty Lake, so I thought about showing that they can't do that and attacked them. Since it was 2-on-1 I could not win but I would have beaten them 1-on-1 for sure...Anyway, I spent time training and during winter I fought them again, but wasn't serious so I let them win again. During a flower viewing event, we all played together and much later I had a bout with 3 annoying fairies who destroyed my house.

Well, it's about time, if I do say so m'self! Right, where to begin\u2026Guess I'll start with my name. See here, most people these days know me as Cranky Kong \u2014 can't rightly imagine why, though. Thing is, the ape you're looking at was theoriginalDonkey Kong \u2014 back when all it took was four frames of animation and an infinite supply of barrels to striketerrorinto the hearts of game players. Seems like nowadays, if it doesn't have a gun, realistic graphics, sports teams, huge worlds, or a complicated story, people aren't interested. I tell ya, they're missing out on what a real game is and have games like mine to thank for allowing them to have all of that malarkey! Look at my no-good grandson, what with his tie-wearing, his bongo playing, his peg-swinging, banana chompin'\u2026! Ugh.. and to think people either believe he's me during my prime or my son, but that's because those lazy boneheads atNintendocouldn't keep consistency if their whole company depended on it. But to be fair, that big doofus has proven himself to a worthy successor of the nameDonkey Kong.Let me clear up all of this confusion and start over from the beginning.So! It all began at the beginning ofThe '80s(that's1980s, if you didn't realize), the era where the video arcade was alive and thriving!Pac-Manand his family were gorging themselves on ghosts, dots, and cherries,Froggerwas trying to cross roads and not get himself ran over, theSpace Invaderswere upsetting the availability of Japanese yen, and\u2026Radar Scopewas crashing and burning\u2014the latest in Japanese videogame developerNintendo's attempts to break into the North American market. Things were getting desperate, so the president of the company\u2014the late Hiroshi Yamauchi (may he rest in peace) askedShigeru Miyamoto, who had been working at the company for just a few years on at that point, to design a game that the unsoldRadar Scopeunits could be converted into. What the company needed (among other things) was their actual own stable of characters, after attempts to secure thePopeyelicense fell through.And that's where I come into this, finally!I was dreamed up by Mr. Miyamoto as an antagonist that's \"nothing too evil or repulsive\" (hmph), so I ended up in the form of an ape. Well, that's all fine and dandy. But how did I get namedDonkeyKong?Monkeys aren't donkeys, after all. Well\u2026he was over there in Japan, where they don't alwaysspeak English s'good. He wanted a name that gave the \"stupid ape\" impression (not going to say anything, nope nope nope), and he had a dictionary. Well, one thing lead to another, and Mr. Miyamoto used my name as the game's title, sinceIwas the strongest character of the game. 'Course he did!Donkey Kongwas a hit all over the world \u2014 and all because of me! I was what the kids called \"OG\" \u2014 Original Gorilla! They made merchandise from my game, and evena cartoonbased on it! I had it all! Not only was I on top of that construction site, I was on top of the world! The game itself was an exemplar of the great values of the old days of video gaming, where my rolling barrels, throwing jumping jacks, and\u2026running a pie factory somehow\u2026made the player, who controlled a goofy little character named\"Jumpman\", work and sweat and dump in quarter after quarter to get to the end of each level and the game. Yeah, yeah, he won, I lost. I took my beating like a champ, and was always ready for the next round, with the obstacles a little faster, the timer a little shorter, and the hapless sucker in a near-constant state of dread, hunched over the joystick and the buttons like a \u2014 never mind.After the success of my first game, I found myself a little woman to settle down with, and we had a son \u2014 m'boy, Donkey Kong Junior. For some reason, though, when Nintendo naturally called me back in to make the inevitable sequel to my first game, they decided to makemetheone in distressby having that Jumpman character stick me in a cage, and make Junior the star! Pah, no respect, even then\u2026 still, I suppose the kid didn't do too bad a job for his first of only two outings. Can you believe it? An educational math game was his only other starring role. Poor Junior just couldn't hack it in the gaming industry.These days, I don't even know where he is. Last time I saw him was ina tennis competition.While Jumpman decided to introduce his brother into the industryand move himself away from the \"Donkey Kong\" name, I knew that I had at least (at least!) one more game in me, so once again I came forward to make some poor sucker's life a living heck (pardon my language there) in a little game calledDonkey Kong 3. Oh, you shoulda seen it \u2014 I was downrightacrobatic, with me climbing all up and down, knocking around beehives and wasp nests, making my worthy opponent have to scramble to keep them away from his blooming flowers and spraying me up the butt to win the round... y'know, I think it was around then I wanted to take a breather from the spotlight.Around the timepeople were seeing video games as a dying fad, I too was starting to feel my age a bit at that point, so I gave Nintendo my forwarding address if they needed me, and decided to pack up my family and move back to my home on Donkey Kong Island. Not much to say on that account; Junior grew up, married a local girl as they do, and had himself a son \u2014 that they named after his granddaddy, of course. Since I wouldn't let 'em forget how things used to be, they started to call me Cranky Kong \u2014 and that just made me more determined to give them an earful and then some! I think it was around that time that the wife said that she was going to pursue a career in teaching \"like she always wanted\" (coulda fooled me) and moved off to Crocodile Isle to open a franchise. Started working out too, which I think was due to my pet name for her \u2014 \"Wrinkly Kong\". What? It's cute!Meanwhile, after video games started to resurge in popularity, Jumpman managed to star in his own series of titles for ahome console of Nintendo'sand somehow managed to become the face of, not just Nintendo, but video games as a whole. Even to this day, I just can't believe it! I was the one who got the top billing of our debut and somehow he's the one to rise to the top! My old arcade hits were ported on there too, but they didn't look as vibrant and my first game even had a whole level taken out of it! No respect at all! Argh, if I were 40 years younger..! Sorry, sorry\u2014lost my head there for a second.Years later, a British company namedRareware, previously known for making games about a bunch ofmucus-lobbing slime-jacketsandpre-rendered button-mashers, decided to work with Nintendo for a while. They needed one last hurrah for that\"Super\" Nintendoof theirs aftersome speedy blue pincushiongave them a run for their money. They wanted to bring me back into the spotlight by shoving those 3D graphics of theirs onto me, but then they thought I was just too old. Bahh, I didn't need all of that anyway, I had made a name for myself back in the early arcade days. This didn't stop them from using Junior's son as the game's main focus, and they even had the nerve to give him an old tie I used to wear.That happens to be the Donkey Kongthat you people are more familiar with today, and he hasmeto thank for allowing him to have that honor.At the same time camethe first Kremling war. Someno-good, slimy, scaly rogue crocodilescalling themselves the \"Kremlings\" invaded our island in the dead of night; they stole everything in my grandson's precious banana hoard and beat up his so-called nephew, Diddy Kong. Turns out that DK told Diddy to guard the bananas as a part of his \"hero training\" and that he would take over at midnight, but that useless lunkhead slept through the whole thing. Of course, he tried to redeem himself the next morning by going out to rescue and team up with his buddy, beat up the bad guys, and get back those yummy yellow treats. Their surfing friend, Funky Kong, as well as DK's girlfriend, Candy Kong all helped to help them reach and save at certain points of the island. I didn't wanna be caught dead in a game like this, but the boys begged me to, so I graciously offered the two advice and hints that were essential for them to progress through the game. Hey, I've been living on that island for decades now and I have extensive knowledge about it! Without it, I reckon those knuckle-dragging numbskulls would be in for a clobbering from those lizards and their leader, King K. Rool.After DK and Diddy managed to get the bananas back, the boys told me all about their little adventure. I admit they did a good job for their first outing, but it was only because of those fancy 3D graphics and that\"Play It Loud!\"nonsense that people bought the game in the first place. Of course, those two goons tried to convince me that wasn't the case and that it was \"just plain fun\", so I made a bet with them to go on an adventure (without the help of me or the other Kongs) on the original Game Boy, the very same handheld console that Nintendo had made aremake of me and Jumpman'sfirst starring roleon almost an entire year prior (That's right, I wore the tie long before that big goof ever did). They took on the challenge, I made the arrangements, and even called K. Rool and his men to come and swipe the banana hoard again! Much to my surprise, they managed to triumph over him once again.But of course, the stupid young lug didn't learn. He let his guard down and wound upgetting himself kidnapped by K. Rool (in some tacky pirate getup)months later, leading to this unnecessary sequel. Luckily for him, Diddy and his girlfriend, Dixie Kong decided to chase the Kremlings back to Crocodile Isle and get the great oaf back. I came back due to popular demand, and I decided to give them my own hero training just to see how good they were. I challenged them along withafewothersto recover a series of golden Hero Coins that I hid all over the island. Lucky for the little snots that my wife had set up her school there, on Crocodile Isle, and the soft-hearted old thing was willing to help save their game. She even went and offered gameplay tips and instructions for them \u2014 that was supposed to be my job! \u2026Then again, I was the one who opened up a Monkey Museum and gave the two hints about the treasures and treats found throughout the island, including that \"lost world\" guarded by that big behemoth, Klubba. Wrinkly was even smart enough to charge them coins for it, so you know I had to take that approach as well! Wish I'd been that smart in the first game\u2026 never you mind! Still, between her, Funky, and that game show host, Swanky Kong, I was the most useful of the help those twerps got in this game.After the little chimps rescued that big knuckleheaded grandson of mine, the whole clan decided to head to theNorth Kremispherefor some well-earned vacations. My wife closed down her school, moved into some nice caves, started to work out even more, and decided to get aNintendo 64for some reason. I didn't really approve of it, but that didn't stop me from playing it every once in a while to test out these 3D graphics everyone was raving about. DK and Diddy would just show how lazy they could be by just drinking banana milkshakes all day and sleeping on hammocks. Me?I decided to open a dojo, as it was time for me to get out more and do some training for my next game; if those punk kids could handle it, why, so could I! I also went all over the Kremisphere in Swanky's new amusement park. Apparently, DK and Diddy managed to get kidnapped by K. Rool, now a mad scientist, and the local Kremlings. Now Dixie and her baby cousin Kiddy Kong had to rescue them along with bringing all of those banana birds back to their mother, the Queen Banana Bird. Those same birds are where the island's bananas originate from and because of the energy found in those bananas, it explains what those walking wallets want with them. Pah! And I thought the second game was unnecessary, what an adventure that was. I wasn't even in the manual this time! Though I did havesomefun, as I graciously deigned to let the two useless wimps challenge me whenever they dropped by Swanky's place.Things were admittedly a bit dull but peaceful for me for a while. Rareware had decided to give us all a break after Dixie and Kiddy's last adventure and moved on to working with other characters. They went withsome dim country bear and a smart-aleck breegullafter they took that \"dream\" from some boy and a pirate. Meanwhile, my grandson finally met my old rival and started participatinginhisvariousactivities, andDiddy had ventured off with the bear to Timber's Island to help out the local residents there(though I advised Diddy to not hang around too much with that young squirrel he brought along for the adventure; he seemed playful and innocent, but I sensed a bad aura around him,and time proved me right). At this time, I had taken a page from that has-been K. Rool and started studying science so I could make a potion that could whip me back into shape! And why not? The other arcade stars were making their way into 3D!The dot muncher was celebrating his 20th birthday, Frogger andQBerteventually found their way back into the spotlight, and don't even get me started onJumpman.\u2026My wife\u2026sigh\u2026 she passed on around this time... ahh, shut up! I'm not crying!Some time after all of that, K. Rool showed up again with some cheap knockoff version of Crocodile Isle, which had sunk a little while after the first time the big ape was rescued.This time, those gator goons stole DK's banana hoard again and their cold-blooded king was planning to blow up our island this time, not showing any mercy on anyone! Diddy and three other members of the clan were kidnapped (I'm starting to see a pattern here) and held hostage in different portions of the island. Of course, DK had to go out and save them this time because even I know how embarrassing it would be if he wasn't the star of his first self-titled 3D outing. Thankfully they all knocked out K. Rool and saved the island, but they couldn't have pulled it off without the special ability-enhancing potions I brewed up for them, and that Rareware coin I made them earn with thatJetpacgame! Those sneaky salamanders also had the nerve to steal an old arcade cabinet of my first game that Nintendo was nice enough to trade me for that oldKiller Instinctcabinet back at the Monkey Museum. They had the nerve to repurpose it into their own little mini game for the crew, particulary DK! At least they all got the chance to play a real game for once! Afterwards, I decided to help produce music video for the crew, which I can't believe how popular it managed to become. Later, I then got the idea to hold some auditions for my own game that was going to be released on thatDolphin consolethey were working on at the time, but it was eventually canned because I was just starting to feel my age again, the group that auditioned was just pathetic, and due to other circumstances beyond my control.Unfortunately, Rareware eventually had to leave the company after being bought by thatcomputer companyand while we would still have our fun, as well as wars with K. Rool and his crew, things weren't the same as they used to be. We still did some interesting stuff, likediscovering magic bongos,held Jungle Jam tournaments, quickly climb on pegs found throughout the island, andracing those rancid reptiles in rocket barrels. My grandson finally decided to actually prove himself by doing some training for once andventure off on his own for a while.Eventually,some living instruments hypnotized the animals and stole my dumb grandson's bananas again.He and his little buddy did some platforming stuff, while I converted my house into a flying shop to offer useful items.For a modest fee, of course.Then, just as we were settling down for DK's birthday,some blasted Arctic hooligans kicked us out of our home!I know I said that I wouldn't be caught dead playable in a newfangled game like this, but this wasmyisland andit was time I showed those horned whippersnappers a thing or two about invading an old ape's island.After getting the island back, I knew I had some strength left in me and I decided to finish up one last potion I had worked on! It turned me into an replica of my old arcade sprite! Around that time, I found out that the little damsel I kidnapped back in the day became the mayor of the city that the original game took place in,New Donk Cityas it's called now. It has changed a bit, the city looked more modernized and it looks like that old pie factory was shut down. Not only did the city showcase stuff from the events from the arcade days, but they even had some references to the Kremlings wars from back on DK Island. I decided to sneak into the city once its festival started, and to my surprise, Jumpman was there and some cheap sidekick that replaced his hat tagged along with him! I gave him one last challenge and I gave it my all, and even though he managed to knock me out, it felt amazing, just like old times! It was like I had warped back to the good old days!I've made several cameos in thoseSmash Bros.games, too. You can see me walking around my cabin in Jungle Japes in the second game. I even appeared in almost all of the later games representing my glory days in the 75m stage and a scribble drawing in that Pictochat 2 stage. My movement may have been limited, but it was fun smacking around the likes of my grandson and that \"nephew\" of his along with Jumpman, his scaredy-cat brother andthat knockoff who should lay off the garlic. Not to mention,that long-tongued newt,that green-haired hoity-toity goddess and that little bodyguard of hers,those pointy-eared twerps,that sparky yellow varmint, along withthat psychokinetic sideshow,that no hoper who didn't even bothercollecting my Hero Coins,those so-called arcade champs of the ninetiesand theiroffbrandcompetition,that little windup toy,the broomhead with the oversized toothpickandhis archnemesis, that so-called \"One-Winged Angel\",that Japanimation harlot with a sword and a case of split personality disorder, and evenol' dot muncher himself! I'd go on and list every single one of these wannabe fighters, but I'd probably fall asleep by the time I got tothat loudmouthed, birdbrained galoot. Trust me though, I got my eye on every single one of 'em!Wait! Wha.. Wussat? They got K. Rool in Smash?! Ah ha ha! I've been itching to get my mitts on him! And somehow against all odds,that dopey bear and that snarky birdgot in Smash as well and so did thatKeyblade boy! Eventually, I'll bring some real action and show them all who's the real champ, just you wait and see! In the meantime, maybe I can discuss with some of the fighters and assist trophies why we were all chosen forthat cheap cartoon from the late '80s that got almost everything wrong about us. At leastthat cartoon with the Crystal Coconut was more accurate!I also appear in acomputer-generated Jumpman movie, voiced byFred Armisen. It's fromthose computer guys who didthe one with little yellow marketable mooks who speak nonsensical jibber-jabber and somehow like bananasand distributed bythe film studiowho brought back the dinosaurs! And from what I've heard, it's infinitely better than Jumpman and his brother'sfirst venture into Hollywood. Up until thosecantankerousbirds,that yellow mouse, and even thatNo Hoper'sflicks,movies based on video gameswere seen as a joke and a tax burnoff. It was a nightmare. The directors and the executives that backed them knew next to nothing of the source materials and probably never touched a game themselves outside of Pong, if eventhat, and heaven help you if your series was chosen by thatknow-nothing clown. And wouldn't you know it, the new Jumpman film managed to hit 1 billion smackeroos at the box office despite the critics giving it a mediocre score of 59% on thattomato site. Further proof that those galoots really never touched a game.Just remember, Jumpman and DK may be the top bananas these days, but Nintendo, most of their competition, and the entire video game industry as a whole wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for me! Now, I'm not in the mood to divulge any further on my past right now, so the rest of my tale will have to wait another day. Let's just get these tropes over and done with, alright?Tropes that apply to me:Abnormal Ammo: Those dentures sure have bite to them.Adaptational Job Change: In thatnewfangled Jumpman movie, I'm not that retired old coot you're looking at right now; I'm the king of the Jungle Kingdom! That's right, baby, after being anexpyof King Kong, now IamKing Kong (ora\"king Kong\", at any rate)!The Cameo:I may not appear in any of theDonkey Kong Landgames, but Wrinkly kept one of my old pictures in her refuge inDonkey Kong Land III.I remind you youngsters to \"git gud,\" whenever you get aGame Overin theFan WorkFive Nights at Fuckboy's\u2014 pardon the French.

I can't imagine why.Demoted to Extra: I played Swanky's Sideshow against those twerps Dixie and Kiddie inDonkey Kong Country 3... and who you calling \"extra\"?!Expy: My first game had me fill the role that Bluto, a maiden obsessed brute that was big, strong, antagonistic and rage-filled, was supposed to fill hadPopeyeand his friends got in. Of course, being an ape with the surname of \"Kong\",you can bet some comparisons were made with that!Now that I'm an old ape, I can't say I'm surprised that people compare me to that old cartoon starSlappy Squirrel.Grumpy Old Man: Who you calling \"grumpy\", you disrespectful hooligans?!He Knows About Timed Hits: Someone told me that if you hold down the Y Button inDonkey Kong Country, you can run!Hidden Depths: I may not look like it, but I've got apretty good singing voice.But not good enough for those chumps over at Nintendo to bother putting in their games, apparently.Hint System: InDonkey Kong Country, I'd give myno good grandsonsome advice as to how to get extra lives and discover some secrets. I know I got lazy and didn't give him tips past the first area on the island, but that changed that with Diddy and Dixie inDonkey Kong Country 2, for a fee of course.Mad Scientist: I was concocting potions inDonkey Kong 64!Wait\u2026 who you calling \"mad\"?!We used to respect our elders back in my day!Mighty Glacier: Sure, I'm not as spry as I used to be, but inDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, I'll bring plenty of attacks in!Nostalgia Filter: You whippersnappers don't know how good we had it back in my day!

Andwe didn't need the game to explain to us how it worked.That's what instruction manuals are for!Promoted to Playable: So you think I'm all talk, eh? Well, ignoreDonkey Kong Barrel Blastand go playDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freezeand see how you'll think of me then!Retired Badass: You young'uns probably don't know this, but I was the original Donkey Kong in the arcade games.Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!!: Hah-hah, You better believe it!

Gotta get my rest.Make sure to shut the gate on your way out. Were you raised in a barn?"} {"text": "\"Let's get this party started!\"(For maximum stylish points read this page in the voice ofReuben Langdon(English) orToshiyuki Morikawa(Japanese))Oh hey, how are ya? Nature calls? It's in the back....Wait, you came here intentionally? Oh. All right then. Welcome to Devil May Cry. Have a seat, put your feet up, relax a little. Want some pizza? Yeah, I know it's hours old, I'm too lazy to order more. What? Yeah of course I know the phone is within arm's reach, what's your point? Anyway, I was havin a nice nap, doing R-rated things to the girls in my dreams before yourudelybarged in here, but I don't hold that against you. You don't smell like a demon to me, so either you're a client or...Hmm, what's that? An interview? You want to know all about me frommyperspective? Can I get paid for this? In case you didn't know, I'm up to my ears in debt. Free? Aw, c'mon! Well okay, but just because I like ya. Besides, I got nothin' better to do.Okay so, here's how it goes, I'm the son of a big shot demon named Sparda who once saved human kind. My mom was a nice lady, could barely harm a fly; She was human after all. Well, after dear old dad bit the dust, the demons took revenge on my mom, leaving me and my brother Vergil to be orphans. I stuck to my guns and made something of myself. Vergil... let's not talk about him.What? I have to? *sighs* Fine. Well, Vergil turned evil and decided he wanted to destroy all humans. Don't ask me why, doesn't really make sense to me either. And anyway,he's not around anymore. Sure, Nero kinda suggests otherwise, but, eh, too lazy to look into it. The less I gotta deal with that guy the better, even if I sorta had to team up with himmore than once.So early in my career, Vergil got in my way and I fought him and a bunch of demons through a gigantic tower. I met a feisty young gal I call Lady. Yeah, I know her real name is Mary, but whatever. I met Trish years later, a demon created by Mundus that lookswaytoo much like my mom for my liking. She also dragged me into doing battle with Mundus, originally trying to get me killed, but eventually had a change of heart.And after that, I had a slew of adventures, dragging around a little girl in the process. Not the best party I've been to, but hey,at least it was betterthan the sequel to my first game. I like to pretend that was all a fever dream. Life's too short for you to go around like you've got a stick up your ass.But that did happen, and I was asked by some red-haired girl to come to the island of Vie de Marli, stop some bad guy from summoning a powerful demon... the less said about that, the better, m'kay? I've been kinda moody throughout that whole ordeal. Call it my \"blue period\".And after my adventures, I met Nero and fought the Savior. That about does it for myhome series. I've hada fewotherappearancesnoteI Finally got in thatnew one with crazy magic space rocks. Bad news is that I got my ass handed to me by a batshit insane killer robot (and they also put inyou-know-whoas an extra outfit, but we'll get to him in a second).in otherplaces, some more prominentthan others. But those are some crazy stories, too crazy to talk about at length in full-detail when I'm not getting paid. And let's not even talk aboutDmC: Devil May Cry, featuring that other version of yours truly, the one whoused to have black hair.Don't even get me started on the state of it being areboot, or it being aretellingof how me and Vergil had our little falling out.Retelling seems like the best bet, anyway, kid does have style though, evenifhe's a long way to go before he becomesanywhereas cool as me.Sorry to disappoint but I don't meet the qualifications to join Ryu and Megaman in thatcrazy contestso you'll have to make do with a costume for your Mii Swordfighter.Oh, you've come to hear aboutmy latest escapades? It's a long damn story, but in short,some guy ripped Nero's arm off, and a demon lord named Urizen showed up in the city I was born in, with some ugly bloodsucking tree. He kicked my ass pretty hard, so hard that I took a month-long nap because he broke Rebellion. Rest in piece, buddy. Thankfully, Nero and that V guy held the line until yours truly came to. Eventually I found my old home and finally figured out what I was running away from all this time, and that revelation allowed me to take my real form. I kicked that demon's ass, but it turns out V and that freak were two halves of one being, and that being was none other than my long-dead brother Vergil. Along with my darling bro coming back to life, I let it slip that he's also the kid's dad. Crazy, huh? He came back, but I wasn't in the mood for a heartwarming family reunion. We clashed at the top of the tree, ready to rip each other apart to kingdom come, until Nero showed up to settle the score with his old man. Once he got satisfied, we took off to the Underworld to cut down the tree, but since we weren't in a rush, V and I decided totake a vacation there. No bills to pay, no nagging from girls... that's a free man's life.And, well, that brings us to today and this so-called interview. What, I'm being pretty vague and skipping over a lot of details? Well, what more do ya want? You clearly know my place of business and my trade, and I just blew the family secret that I'm a half-demon to some big shot. What? You want me to list a bunch of tropes about myself? Well, all right, but only cause you asked nicely.Oh yeah, did you know that in apast lifeI was an armored dragonfly superhero?Seems me an' Joe have a lot more in common than I thought.Keepin' it stylish!The Ace: Hey, I can't help it if I'm just better than Nero at everything.Alas, Poor Villain: Vergil might be a pain in the ass, but he's still my brother.Always Identical Twins: If I was wearing blue and combed my hair back, you'd be unable to tell the difference between Vergil and me. ...Put that comb down.I like my hair the way it is.Ancestral Weapon: I got my sword from dear old dad. Honestly, wish I had a father instead of a sword, but hey, this thing's saved my life at least once, which is more than pops ever did.Angels Pose: I did this with Trish and Lady once.Angsty Surviving Twin: Heh, can't get anything past you, can I?Annoying Younger Sibling: Only cause Vergil is aBig Brother Bully, so it balances out, I'd say.Anti-Hero: I'm pretty much a more laid back, moral version ofthat other red-clad lunatic.Arm Cannon:Picked up the Nightmare-Beta on Mallet Isle. Drains my Devil Trigger power but the results are worth it.My Devil Trigger form in my second game had me armed with one of these.Armor Is Useless: And you wonder why it's just the coat and leather.Badass Biker: Issac Newton's crying in his grave somewhere. What can I say?I'm just too cool for gravity. And lately I've got a really sweet bike that can turn into two chainsaw... things. What can I say? I love it when a thing has more than one use.Badass Crew: Trish and Lady work part time for the Devil May Cry agency. When we work together Iguesswe fit the criteria for this one.Badass Fingersnap: Watch me switch to Gunslinger style in my fourth game from an idle position and prepare to be amazed.Badass Longcoat: It's my favorite jacket. Gives me an image people can easily attach to a name, drums up business for the agency you know. And it looks amazing.Back-to-Back Badasses: I did this with Lady during the adventure I met her and with Vergil during that rare time we teamed up.Bag of Spilling: Hey, you try carrying as many weapons as I've acquired over the years and figure out where you're gonna put it all. Besides, sometimes using them just isn't my style. Thatkid with the talking yellow squirrel keeps hitting theReset Buttonon his team, I can do the same for my equipment. Truth be told, I usually sell my trinkets off, so maybe I've got an offer just for you. Or I just let Enzo hang on to 'em.Battle in the Rain:How my first meeting/battle with Vergil goes in my third game.You probably can't tell in that HD version but my last fight with good ol' Griffon on Mallet Island took place in a big downpour, too.Big Good: Well, if you think of Nero as the protagonist in the fourth game, then this would be my role in it.Blood Knight: Not the best example since I was having a rough day, but...\"Well bring it on! I love this! This is what I live for! I'm absolutelycrazyabout it!\" (cueCheshire Cat Grin)That said, I love a good fight. It runs in the family.Boring, but Practical: Pandora's flashy with all of her combinations, but some just work well more than others, even if they're not that stylish.Rebellion and Ebony & Ivory fit here too. I usually start my adventures with them, and while they aren't as flashy as the rest of my arsenal (relatively), they're still pretty good for kicking ass. Especially if I specialize into Swordmaster or Gunslinger!Bottomless Magazines: Because I have demonic powers, I never have to reload.Yes, this includes the times I've used shotguns and rocket launchers.Bring My Red Jacket: It's so bad guys can't see me bleed.Broken Ace: Hey, being forced to kill a crap ton of demons that are after you just because of your old man since I was a kid doesn't exactly count as a normal childhood. That ended the day my mom died and I was separated from my twin brother.Butt-Monkey: Yeah, yeah Patty really laid into me,didn't she?Cain and Abel: Vergil's the Cain, I'm the Abel.The Cameo: We talked about these already didn't we? Oh well, no harm in reminiscing.TheDMC2version of memakes an appearancein theUpdated Re-releaseofShin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.TheDMC1version is playable as aSecret Characterin the PS2 port ofViewtiful Joe.TheDMC3version is a playable fighter inMarvel vs. Capcom 3andMarvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.The anime version is a playable character inProject \u00d7 Zoneand its sequel.TheDMC4version is a playable character inTeppen (2019).Catchphrase: \"Jackpot!\" I always use it to end my assignments.\"Devils never cry\", but I use it sparingly.Celibate Hero: I love ladies, don't get me wrong, but I've got my reasons not to pursue any deep relationships. Being perennially broke is one of them.Character Development/Hidden Depths: While I'm always the snarky guy that ladies love that you want to invite to parties, I've matured a great deal since I first opened up this shop. I'm also a really good guitar player and a music aficionado, not that you could tell by looking at me.Character Exaggeration: What? I wanted to look good to all the good little boys and girls when I went from3Dtopastel colors.Characterization Marches On: And apparently whoever handles PR for me decided even Trish and Lady should keep their behaviors for our fourth game.Charged Attack: Things get pretty crazy if I decide to charge up my melee based weapons. Even some of my guns get in on the fun!Chekhov's Gun: I've got plenty, but my half of the perfect amulet and my magic coin strike me as the most well-known examples.Chick Magnet: What can I say? The ladies love a man with talent.Cluster F-Bomb: Well look, just because I can swear doesn't mean I like to abuse 'em. If you want me but a sailor,Other Me's that-a way.Conspicuous Gloves: Fingerless gloves, that's right. And unlike acertain cowboy'smine are just flat out awesome.The Collector of the Strange: Take a good look at this office, kid. Everything in here has a story. ...Nah, I'm just messing with ya. It's all for aesthetics. I bought most of it myself.Combat Pragmatist: From everyone else's viewpoint, especially Vergil's. Using firearms may be considered a low blow but they've gotten me out a few tight spots. And frankly, considering all the demons I go up against, I'd be nuts NOT to be this.Cool Guns: *twirls gun* Ebony and Ivory, never leave home without 'em. It'd be like forgetting your car keys. And of course there's all the wacky armaments I pick up on my journeys. Did I ever tell you about the Nightmare-Beta for one thing?Cool Sword: Even among swords of its type, my sword is pretty sweet, I admit.Cool Uncle: This is how my relationship with Nero has been as of late. Now if only I could get him to work up the money to get a ring for that girl of his.Cutscene Power to the Max: I slaughter enemies with no effort normally, but my version between gameplay events is possibly the coolest, most invincible badass ever, dodging missiles, shrugging off horrific injuries, and killing massive enemies with single attacks.Dark Is Not Evil: Hey, I might not look it at first, but I'm a pretty nice guy once you get to know me.Desperation Attack: My Devil Trigger Majin form acts as this when I'mreallyin a pinch.Deuteragonist: I share the spotlight with Nero in my fourth and fifth adventures and Lucia in my first game's sequel. Those stories were more personal to them.Diving Save: I did this for Trish to save her from falling debris inthe aftermath of Nightmare's defeat.Does Not Like Spam: Hope you don't mind if I have a quick slice before we contin- Olives? Are you kidding me? I tell them every time, no olives!Double Entendre:My interaction with Nevanandacquisition of Lucifer.I regret nothing.Et Tu, Brute?: How I felt when I learned that Trish was created by Mundus to kill me.Experienced Protagonist: No matter the game, it's never my real first rodeo. I've already got something akin to experience under my belt.Expy: What? What do you mean I resemble thatdog-eared kid? I look nothing like him. And whoo, if I smelled like that, I'd kick myself out of my own house. Heck, if his girlfriend had brought in some firearms, we would've been spared 500+ chapters of headaches. We do have at least something in common: dealing with older brothers that have something shoved up their butts. And wouldn't you know it, Vergil has a kid and so do the Dog Brothers. Hey don't look at me, I'm not ready to settle down anytime soon. Haven't you seen theCelibate Heroentry above?I do favor more with thatVash dude.Cool coat and gun, by the way. Unfortunately, he too has a brother with a dim, grim, and contemptible view of humans.The actual inspiration for me is this dude namedCobra. And no he's not thathooded kook trying (and failing) to take over the world. He's cool cat from a time where male anime protagonists weren't neurotic messes.Fountain of Expies: Ironically, I've gotten several imitators over the years:Thequietcowboy assassinwith the backpack casket emphasized more on shooting than using a sword.Gene. The brawler doubles as an expy toto the head exploding Bruce Lee wannabe. The boys at Capcom would later take notes and base Nero partially off the former. How ironic. Oh, and it's awesome that he gets to use God's right arm to spank demon women!Bayonetta and Jeanneare bothGender Flipexamples. Those ladies are snarkers that both fight with swords and guns, taunt their enemies, and the latter even has white hair and dresses in red like me! She's stealin' my looks! The only differences is that they are witches that fight angels.noteThey fight both demons and angels in the sequel.I gotta enough problems with demons, I don't need angels bothering me. Not that I couldn't handle it of course. Hey, maybe Bayo can send me an invite to that \"fight club\" she's a part of?That stripperific zombie fighting gamehas another gender flip example named Kagura. She's a copy of myDMC3incarnation. AHalf-Human Hybrid(Dhampyrin this case) that's young, snarky, taunts, and likes to show off. You'd never catch me in a thong though. Oh man, the younger me would havelovedmeeting her! It's better than first meeting a chick who shoots ya in the head!Wonder Blue, he's like me inSuper SentaiorPower Rangersform. Though he wears his color well, I'll stick with the classic red. The funny thing is that his leader, Wonder Red, is based off my old pal,Joe. Somebody must miss us.That Travis guylikes red coats too, but he carries alightsaberfor some reason. He even has a twin brother who fights him, but apparently Travis is supposed to the dumbass between the two of them. Not that I haven't been a dumbass, but my brother is a more dangerous one.Fakin' MacGuffin:\"A false coin, for a false god.\"Final Boss: Oh, you think since I'm the main protagonist, I can't be a final boss? On that you're mistaken, since inVergil's journey I hand him out some serious whoop-ass at the top of that tree. That's the way Sparda's boys settle their scores.Let me tell you, you're going to break some controllers trying to beat me.Finger-Twitching Revival: The end result of \"acquiring\" Alastor. I shrugged it off like a bug bite.However, in my third game, Vergil saw my fingers twitchand then stabbed me again.Firing One-Handed: Because I'm awesome that way. OrMaybe it's the demon blood in me.Foil: To my brother Virgil. Don't get me wrong, we're twins so we have a bit in common, but he wears blue, I wear red (our old man wore purple so it's pretty symbolic). He's quiet and reserved, I'm loud and boistrous, he wears his hair back, I let it slide down. If ya pay attention to how we speak, especially inDMC 3you'll notice I basically translate his dork speech into something way simpler and cooler. Kinda like aSophisticated as Hellto contrast hisWicked Culturededge he's alwayssoeager to show off.Virgil:It's time for the clown to bow out, Arkham.Me:Dude, the show's over!Gangsta Style: The only stylish way to fire off sweet guns like these. And baby, I ain't talking about the ones resting on my arms.Good is Not Nice: Gimme a break! Ijustbought the agency and the whole thing collapsed! I was willing to take Arkham's job if it paid well. Besides, chicks liked the arrogant, cocky me. I've still got shades of it now that I'm older, but that's just cause some things never change. Although I guess I am...what's the word for it...altruistic now?Good Thing You Can Heal: I would be dead several times over if I didn't have the ability to heal my own wounds.Gosh Dang It to Heck!: All right,you got me. But you try coming up with witty one-liners on the fly.Not every single one of them is going to be prime time stand-up comedy material. I leave most of the F-bombs to Nero.I start swearing properly come my fifth major adventure, though.Guest Fighter: I ended up rolling with the Demi-Fiend inShin Megami Tensei III: Nocturnefor a little while.Heads or Tails?: I pulled this stunt in my second game using my coin to determine whether or not I would help Lucia and Matier, most notably when deciding who between Lucia and me willgo into Demon World and slay the recently-revived devil king Argosax and most likely be trapped there for eternity. Of course, Lucia doesn't notice until the epilogue that it's atrick coin, which is useful inscrewing over Arius big time. I actually keep pulling this shtick during mydazzling appearanceinShin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Savvy players can actuallyrecruit me for only one Macca if they know about my trick coin.Healing Factor: I've been shot in the head, impaled in five different places, including the chest...a lot. But look, no scars. Must be our health care system.Hero Antagonist: Probably what Nero saw me as for the first half of his debut adventure.Hidden Depths: You wouldn't suspect it, but I actually like to quoteShakespearefrom time to time. ...What?A guy can't enjoy a good english playand read Playboy?\"And the rest is silence.\"Hired Guns: My job. I work for cash. Puts food on the table... and unfortunately very little else.Human-Demon Hybrid: Well Iam1/2 demon, 1/2 human. But I'mallman, ladies.Hunter of His Own Kind: It's what my dad would have wanted: protect humans, punish demons.Hyperspace Arsenal: I acquire a variety of giant guns and swords in every game, but you never me carry anything other than what is currently equipped. Maybe I'm a magician, or maybe I picked up a thing or two from thatnice-looking red head from that country with the talking, flying cats.Iaijutsu Practitioner: I can pull off some tricks from Vergil's book, like that time I had to save Fortuna by destroying the Hell Gate and fighting the so-called Savior.Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: You know, I'd probably make more money if I had a ten spot for every time this happened to me.And now that I've got my own Devil Arm, it's become an everyday occurance. Booooring.Implacable Man: Let's just say I'm far,farmore impressive when you're watching methan when you're controlling me.Immune to Flinching: When I activate my Majin form, there isn't a thing that can stop me. Pray I don't have to use it on you. Youarehuman, right?Impossibly Cool Weapon: Oh-ho, where to start? During years of kicking demon butt I've got my hands on some nice stuff:Nevan, she's one sweet babe... oh, and she's also a literal electric guitar that shoots bats. It's always good to have a lady in my hands.I've also got this briefcase, Pandora, during my ordeal at Fortuna. Heard it has 666 different forms, but I never bothered trying them all out.One of my latest toys is a demonic motorbike named Cavaliere that can turn into two chainsaw weapons. You look stylish riding it, you look stylish shredding demons with it, so it's an S in my book.Also I've got ahat... not just a regular one, but a weapon of mass destruction in a shape of hat, goes by the name \"Dr. Faust\". It absorbs Red Orbs as some sort of \"mana\", and boy, it has some nice uses. Firing Red Orb shards like bullets? No problem. Dropping Red Orb meteorites at whatever that's in my way? You got it.Eat your heart out, Italian plumber. Plus, it makes me look like a gunslinger from the Wild West,scarf and all, and I got to show off them sweet moves I've got, so the lesson is... gotta wear hats more often.I Shall Taunt You: This is my bread and butter outside of my slicey-choppy skills. What can I say, it's nice to see my enemies get mad when I have fun screwing with them.It Was a Gift: Rebellion and my half of the perfect amulet were gifted to me by good ol' dad and my mom respectively.Jerkass Has a Point: Iwaspretty harsh to Trish when she stabbed me in the back and turned out to be working for Mundus, but thankfullymy words got to her.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hey, I might be a walking, talking pain in the ass, but I'm a nice guy. Here, I'll prove it: We'll go down to the pizza parlor, on the house. Oh...wait...uhhh, raincheck on that. I'm behind on the mortgage this month.Just Toying with Them: Consider this, no matter the situation, I'm rarely serious. Most of the stuff you struggle with I could dowithout your help much easier. However, evenIknowwhen the chips gotta go down and the grins and banter gotta go away. Once that happens, all bets are off and not only are ya gonna have a bad time, but likely I am too.Kamehame Hadoken: You know, being able toOne-Hit Killeverything wit a massive laser from myMajinDevil Triggerform takes the fun out of a good scuffle, but dammit if it's not awesome.Large Ham:I think this just about covers it. Oh, heymore Shakespeare.Le Parkour: Nothing says parkour likemidair jumping and teleportingaside,dashing in and out of tight spots, running up walls,using enemies as springboards, and flipping through the air in a way that'd make even some of the most hardcore gymnasts fall and break their necks.Let's Get Dangerous!: Nero, Nero, Nero, you should've known better than toactuallymake me try. Mundus also learned the hard way what happens when you legitimately tick me off.Lightning Bruiser: Fast, agile, and I hit like a runaway ice cream truck. Bottom line, I know my moves better than you do.Living Legend: Let's just say defeating and sealing away Mundus gave me a bit of a claim to fame and leave it at that.Lured into a Trap: I got baited by Trish into Mundus' trap. I made him pay for that dearly.Major Injury Underreaction: Like I said, I shrug off impalement like a really bad itch and nothing more.Manly Tears: What? Come on! Someone likemeshed some tears? It's just the rain. Don't overthink it.Well...okay, I guess evenIcracked a little when Trish died, but shhhhhhhh, just between us all right?Meaningful Rename: What're you talking about? The store's always been called Devil May Cry.It's never been renamed, not once...okay look, she asked me to change it back to Devil May Cry since she didn't wanna always be seen as the co-owner of it. Happy?Mirror Boss:Dark Link ain't got nothing on me.Isn't that right?I've also had to deal with a few of these, like Vergil or that knockoff Doppelganger.The Musketeer: Well...I guess Itechnicallyqualify.Mr. Fanservice: Well, it's not likeI ever wear a shirtin my third game.The Nose Knows: I smelled that giant, ugly frog from a mile away, but well, with a lurelike thatI just had to humor him. What was it I said again? Oh right:\"You can hide that body. But thatsmell, woo!\"No-Sell: I let Nero think he'd beaten me within an inch of my life, even let him impale me with my own sword.I'm used to itby now. Of course, everyone watching at home knew better. So, it didn't come as a huge shock when I managed to pull out the blade like a harmless splinter and subsequently made my escape.Odd Friendship: He can be an odd little squirt but ol'Joeand I get on real well actually. Probably because me showing up in his games. We were also in that bigcomic book throwdownand we're still cool.Oedipus Complex:Sorry, no Greek tragedies playing out today.Older and Wiser: Should I grow a beard to prove it? I dunno, I think the5 o' clock shadowdoes enough.Orphan's Plot Trinket: My half of thePerfect Amulet.Painful Transformation: My (chronologically) firstDevil Triggertransformation. And keep in mind, I get impaled on a regular basis. So imagine what that probably felt like.Papa Wolf: As a babysitter for Patty. I also don't like seeing people attack my nephew.Parental Abandonment:Leeeeeeet's not talk about this, mmkay?Patrick Stewart Speech: It's true, humans are weak, but hey we've got much better qualities to make up for it. And you find me a demon that makes good pizza and strawberry sundaes.Peek A Bangs: You may not have noticed, but my hair is actually usually combed this way. What? Good side? They're both equally amazing, that's why you hardly noticed.Perma-Stubble: I grow some in my fifth escapade. And like everything else I do, I make it work stylishly. One time I make fun of this by shaving it... with a captiveand still spinningbladed demon. Dangerous? Sure. Convenient? You betcha!Perpetual Poverty: Hey, now that's rude, don't ya think? But yeah, I own it, I'm in some large debts all the time and have the bills coming in. Can't a guy get a break? Those utility people are worse than demons, seriously.Physical God: Huh? Am I?Guess I never noticed the body count I've been piling up lately that would qualify me for this.Polar Opposite Twins: Vergil and I are like night and day, summer and winter, peanut butter and pickles... maybe not that last one quite so much.Poor Communication Kills:Lady didn't like it very muchwhen I made it sound like I was her father's killer. To be fair, I don't thinkthe real culpritwould've been quite so... patient with her.Possession Implies Mastery: What can I say? Weapons are like women: You just gotta know how to treat them right and communicate with their body in the right way to make 'em do what you want.Power Gives You Wings: Sometimes *nodding* sometimes, most notably in my Majin form.And Sin Devil Trigger gives me some too.Power Makes Your Voice Deep: While using my Devil Trigger Majin Form, you should hear how low my pitch drops.Sin Devil Trigger, too.Practical Taunt: The taunts ain't just for show! I get more Devil Trigger, and my style stays longer or goes higher. Nothing is more cool than taunting a demon before laying the smack down on it.Purple Is Powerful: The fire blasts, body energy and overall color theme for my Majin Form DT are a mix of Black and Purple, its power of course is ridiculously strong, making my Sparda DT form look normal in comparison.Razor-Sharp Hand: I wrecked an entire slab of stone while using Gilgamesh for the first time. Did I mention it started withBruce Lee's one-inch punch?\"The Reason You Suck\" Speech: Pretty much what I said to Trish when I first found out her true nature:\"Don't come any closer, you devil! You may look like my mother but you're nowhere close to her. You have no soul! You have the face but you'll never have her fire!\"Red Eyes, Take Warning: In my first game,after Mundus killed Trish, my eyes did thered, glowing thingand I even got a spiffy battle aura.I dropped the wisecracks, summed up aDeath GlareandaShut Up, Hannibal!moment before awakening to mymy Sparda Devil Trigger form. And thenMundus had a really bad day.My Sin Devil Trigger is arguably even scarier.Refuge in Audacity: The more brazen stunts I pull, the less my opponents expect it. For instance: need to kill the leader of an order of holy knightswith demonic powers? Show up during one of his sermons andcap him in the face.Also, one time I droveupa tower on my motorcycle. And then I used said motorcycle to beat the crap out of some demons.Relatedly, that Cavaliere weapon I mentioned earlier? Yeah, it functions as a fully working motorcycle when I'm not using it to crush and slash poor saps.Rejected Apology: I didn't let Trish off easy after she betrayed me in my first game.Rocket Ride: Okay, how could I not jump on the missile Lady fired at me and ride it like a surfboard? It was begging to be done.And it seems like Nero took after me the next time we teamed up with that cyber arm of his... must admit, it's pretty neat.Rogue Protagonist: What, you thought I was a bad guy when I showed up and killed that preacher in front of his clergy? True, it seemed like I've gone off the deep end, but I had my reasons. Too bad the kid didn't know about this at first.Running Gag: Oh, gee, I don't know, maybe this hassomething to do with how often my own sword gets sheathed in my chest?Sarcastic Clapping: I do this this after seeingSanctus unleash The Savior after Agnus opens the Hellgate to Demon World.Save the Villain: I tried to save Vergil, but he rejected my offer so he could stay in the demon world. Selfish to the end as little imps sing him to his rest.I had more success in my fifth game, with a little help from my nephew...okay, a lot of help. What? I was having a rough day.Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: I'm living in debt, but I'm notthatdesperate for cash. I want a job that's fun and doesn't compromise my morals, hear me?Shirtless Scene: Even going beyond how my coat's open the entire game, I'm not evenwearingit when demons attack my shop at the beginning of the third game.Shout-Out: Apparently my personality is based off of the titular character ofSpace Adventure Cobra.Showy Invincible Hero: Like I said,hardly take anything seriously.Shut Up, Hannibal!: At least two; one to Mundus at the end of the first game, and another to Arius in2after my second fight with him. The second case is more flashy, as it was aShut Up, Hannibal!performed withbullets.Okay three. Aaaaaaand action:Trismagia:\"The Son of Sparda. You must repent your sins!\"Me:\"Don't speak,just die!\"Sins of Our Fathers: Okay, dad, if you can hear me, can you give me a small request and make mestopcleaning up your messes?Skyward Scream: Oh man, do I have to talk about this? *sigh* Yeah, I'm never living this one down:Me:[after I thought Trish died]I should have been the one to fill your dark soul withLIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!Smug Super: What can I say? Experience has tempered me so there's very little that can actually give me a hard time.Sophisticated as Hell: What, just 'cause I like killing demons and defying physics with howawesomely stylishI am, I can't pick up a good book and have a li'l philosophy on the side? My brother's not the only one who can talk like he just completed an audiobook of Macbeth, you know! Besides, chicks dig a guy with class.Super Mode: Devil Trigger, plain and simple.Then I got freakin' Sin Devil Trigger, and hoo boy, does it feel like I become a godslayer when that's in play.Taunt Button: With the exception of2, all of my games have one.Tell Me About My Father: I really don't care about my dad's exploits.

Of course, by the end of that adventure I'm less this and more aBig Brother Mentor. I guess part of me is trying to do what Vergil can't anymore.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:In this one webshow, I got called to take out this witch calling herselfBayonetta. Quite the looker, but every rose has her thorns, right?Thorns that, sadly for her, didn't earn her a victory against me. Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to Trish and that Jeanne girl during that fight? Something tells me Trish ain't gonna be happy with me.... How come I never meet any nice girls?What Measure Is a Non-Human?: To put it simply,it doesn't matter to me what your genes are, but how you feel. In the anime, I actually called off a hit I was hired to do on a demon because he wanted to live like a human. By contrast, I'll also kill a human if I think there's nothing redeemable about them and they're just as bad as any one of the fodder I have to cut or shoot on a regular basis.Who You Gonna Call?:Certainly not the guys in the brown suits with the proton packs. Let them handle the incorporeal. I got me a date with the underworld and all of their ilk like it's a bad day at a company picnic with the CEO's extended family... in the south.Willfully Weak: Icoulddestroy everything around me with the demonic blood boiling inside me, but there's just something about cutting a demon's head off, batting it with my sword and launching it via cannonball effect at the enemies coming at me like a group of bowling pins that make an adventure so much more entertaining.The Worf Effect:Urizen's got me pretty bad, didn't he? Destroyed Rebellion and kicked my ass so hard I went into a coma, but after I woke up and unlocked my true potential, I managed to turn the tables on him.Would Hit a Girl: I've fought Lady and Trish in certain circumstances and don't even get me started on Nevan and Echidna. In fact, I think a quote of mine from that time I tangled with thoseguys in costumeput it nicely:\"How come I never meet any nice girls?\"You Remind Me of X: Could everyone please stop comparing me to my dad?

But no thanks to the help of a certain little blue pest and his entourage, you lot may know me better under the moniker of \"Dr. Eggman\". Nevertheless, I've since reclaimed that petulant playground insult and nowadays justhearingthe phrase \"Eggman Empire\" strikes fear into the hearts of the masses! Besides, I like eggs. Symbol of life, proven brain food, and their flattering little shape reminds me so much of myself! On that note, I'm also especially fond offried chickenandhoagies. Aworld rulershould have all the elements of a true epicurean, wouldn't you think?Cubot:Ooh, ooh! We got the snacks you asked for, boss!Adequate timing, Cubot. Where was I, anyways? Ah, yes!While I've always been a visionary since I was a young lad learning from my similarly brilliant grandfather Gerald, my humble career as an aspiring global conqueror beganall the way back on South Island, a strangely locomotive treasure trove of ancient ruins and interesting secrets. Like clockwork, I set to mining and mechanizing the island for its resources, used the local wildlife as batteries to power my army of Badnik soldiers (through means that your feeble mind couldn't possibly understand), and set to searching for the Chaos Emeralds, fabled jewels with the infinite potential to turn thoughts into reality. By which I mean use their power to rule all I see fit. So far, South Island had fallen under my boot and everything was going smoothly\u2026\u2026that is, until HE showed up.I am of course referring to oneSonic the Hedgehog, a three-foot-tall blue adolescent anthropomorphic erinaceinae that has since rubbed me the wrong way for three good reasons. One, he hasincredible speed. Two, he has an evenmoreincredibleattitude problem. And three,EVERYTHING ELSE!That spiked little hoodlumimmediatelywent to wrecking all my machines, all my infrastructure and all my perfectly produced plans! And to add insult to injury, THAT LITTLETHIEFSWIPED THE CHAOS EMERALDS FROM RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE!NNNNNNGH\u2014!(inhale, exhale)But no matter. It was just one teensy little loss. Even geniuses have bad days every once in a while.I picked myself back up, moved to the next island over and redoubled my efforts and operations, searching for any more useful things along the way, all to complete and maintain the Death Egg, my ultimate orbital dreadnaught and battle-station\u2014no, no, it was a wholly original concept, thank you very much. Bring upthose space operasone more time and I'll shoot. Moving on.Unfortunately for humanity's greatest genius, Sonic was also vacationing at West Side Island and had recently adopted a fox kit street urchin named Miles Prower, who just so happened to havea proficiency in the wonders of technologythat gave him and Sonic even more ways to counter me. And he also had two tails that he could spin together to somehowfly like a helicopter, as if biology couldn't pull enough stupid surprises out of its rear end. And somehow, Sonic and \"Tails\" eventually tore the island from my grasp, Sonic chased me through my Wing Fortress and all the way to the Death Egg, butthenI left him cowering at the might of my brand new state-of-the-art battlesuit!(sigh)Which he then promptly defeated, before he saw fit to knock my flying masterpiece out of orbit and send it tumbling back down to the planet.But as luck would have it, it wound up on the mystical Angel Island, a floating landmass where the counterpoint to the Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emerald, was kept. But it likewise had an over-eager caretaker in Knuckles, the last of the fabled echidnas. Fortunately for me, he had brainpower equal to that of a styrofoam packet, so all I had to do was assert that I was a researcher who came to study the egg and help him if it caused any trouble. And that there was also this crazy hedgehog who liked collecting precious emeralds.The poor sucker fell for it, hook, line and sinker! Ahaha! Sure enough, by the time Sonic and his little savant showed up to investigate the mysterious fallen island, me and Knuckles had already turned it into a paradise of diabolical traps, with the red doofus taking extra care in making their little excursion all the more miserable! And with enough time, I made my move, swiped the Master Emerald from Knuckles when he couldn't do anything to stop me, and my glorious Death Egg was back in business! It was all such a wonderful, perfect turn of events\u2014\u2026And then that lousy hedgehog managed to jump onboard my Death Egg once more. And used the Chaos Emeralds to turn into\"Super Sonic\". And blew up my Death Egg for real this time. And swiped back the Master Emerald from me after destroying what I had left.Oh, well! You know what they say, whatdoesn't kill you in the harsh, cold vacuum of spacemakes you stronger!Of course, most of you may know that these weren't theonlyescapades I had in my quest for world domination. If I were as thorough as I have been, we'd be here all day, but just to sum things up:There wasthat time I succeeded in capturing Sonic and two of his friends, and put them through an island designed to kill them. It wasreallycathartic to see them screaming and panicking all the way through.Sometime after my plans at South Island were ruined,I took over Little Planet, a small world with the secrets to controlling time itself. It's especially notable that it's also when I made my most prized creation, my dearMetal Sonic.(Metal Sonic walks into the room with a menacing expression but says nothing)Lovely, isn't he? And he can give that blue showboater quite the literal run for his money! Retroactively, the Mecha Sonics were created as offensive countermeasures against that blue pest albeit at the expense of speed.Oh, yeah.There was something about a volcano and a pinball security system. I think.Or maybe not.I once went to an island with mystical dimension-jumping birds known as Flickies to try to make their power my own.I released the water god Chaos from his Master Emerald prisonso I could power him up with the Chaos Emeralds, allowing him to flatten Station Square for me to build my Robotnikland utopia on top. And then he turned on me. He destroyed Station Square on his terms without my permission, just because I didn't save him from the crash of my flying fortress or something.Ingrate.Sometime after that, I broke into a government facility to reclaim my grandfather's work, a black hedgehog named Shadow who called himself the \"Ultimate Life Form\". Still don't understand what the old man was thinking in regards to design choices. More importantly, there was also the Space Colony ARK, his masterpiece of science and ingenuity, complete with thestar-piercing Eclipse Cannon! And then he (posthumously) turned on me. Heset up the ARK to crash into the planet, all because he wanted revenge on the military for\u2026 killing my cousin, Maria. Destroying the world out ofgrief, Gerald? All for your poor dead granddaughter while I wasright there?Really?For goodness' sake, you were my hero\u2026Metal Sonic was soon getting too uppity for his britches and modified his hardware to shapeshift and copy bio-data.And then he turned on me.He promptly threw me into a closet, took over my operations while having thegallto masquerade as me, and prompted Sonic and his friends to face him as part of a greater plan to build a \"robotic kingdom\" for himself. Thankfully, he was given the proper spanking from all those wimpy heroes, and I've since made sure that he won't go through a phase as brazen as that again. Isn't that right, Metal?(Metal just looks away)I thought so. Now get back to work!My greater schemes were put on hold againwhen I had to fight off the Black Arms during their invasion.And yes, Iamunfortunately aware of the insipid alternate timelines where Shadow\u2026 ugh\u2026finishes me off. I concur with a \"Clement\" fellow in that he should've at leasttriedto join my side in at leastonepossibility. It'd be more constructive for him than whatever that dribble about \"protecting the ARK\" was about.I discovered an ancient battle robot my grandfather had in storageonly for Sonic and his friends to swoop in and give it a hokey personality under the equally hokey name of \"Emerl\". Following his death, I reverse-engineered the leftover technology into a new, better robot of my own andsplit the world into seven piecesusing the Chaos Emeralds' powers over time and space.And then he turned on me.He upgraded himself with the Emeralds and I was forced to reel him in with that meddling hedgehog's help.I once learned of a parallel universe to our own with its own set of mystical emeralds, and ran into my so-called \"alternate self\", Eggman Nega.Quite the handsome\u2026knock-off, I suppose. We planned to use those Chaos and Sol Emeralds to make a bold new cross-dimensional Eggmanland of our very own, only for Sonic to show up alongside Nega's own nemesis, a fire-wielding princess named Blaze the Cat. Always has to be one in every crowd. We later tried something like that again in \"his\" dimension with its immense dimensional \"Power of the Stars\", but\u2026 well, you know.And then he turned on me.He revealed that he was really a descendant of mine who went back in time to reclaim the glory of our family name byturning the world into a card or destroying it with a stupid inter-dimensional fire demon. I've since disownedthat lunatic. Not that I've ever truly believed we were related, mind you!Some nonsense with genies,aliensand hoverboarding thief birds. And what I got out of all that aside from my business ventures being humiliated was nothing more than athrow rug.There's a vague memory in my mind of when I apparently tried to kidnap a princess, and something about disaster flames\u2026?Eh, I also remember looking elongated and poorly-dressed, so perhaps it was just a fever dream.I tricked Super Sonic into helping me shatter the planet into piecesso that I could harness the energy of Dark Gaia, the entity sleeping inside it. And soon, I used the energy tofinallycomplete Eggmanland, a glorious theme park fully dedicated to me, and perfectly designed forsending obnoxious hedgehogs to their graves!And then\u2026(sigh)\u2026Dark Gaia turned on me. It reconstituted itself into a physical form, knocked me into space and tried to destroy everything on the planet before Sonic and his \"Light Gaia\" sidekick pummeled it back into the ground.I completed another theme park, this time in outer space, under the guise that I had changed my ways for the better.Ha!In truth, I had discovered a race of aliens known as the Wisps that had unique life energies, of which I could drain to power a mind-controlling ray pointed towards the planet below! And then Sonic loused it up.Yet again.As I was floating in the emptiness of space, I came across a primordial entity that could tear apart time to my will.I promptly used it to crash Sonic's little birthday celebration, perfected it into an ultimate weapon with the help of my past self, and sent that hedgehog through a menagerie of traps across time and space! And thentwoSonics promptly loused up our plans to rewrite the world, and we were then left bickering to one another in a timeless white void. I don't quite recall how we escaped\u2026 maybewe found the door?I tried to take over a planetoid using some obnoxious creatures known as the Zeti.And then they turned on mebecause Sonic stupidly punted away THE ONLY THING that kept them from doing so before!I did however manage to trick him and Tails into getting rid of those oversized talking splinters for me, and wouldn't you have it, I climbed back to the top from nothing! And then that hedgehog beat me again. Moving on.But guess what?I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!OOOOOHOHOHOHO!I almostwon! Sonic was beaten, and without theirprecious hero, all I needed to do was mop up his little friends until everything was under my heel! And all this was possible thanks to this magical jewel I found called the Phantom Ruby.All the way over in another dimension\u2014 by which I mean the dimension of time and thus the past,I wouldn't expect someone like you to have the genius to grasp it all\u2014I found this fantastic jewel known as the Phantom Ruby on Angel Island, but following a battle with Sonic and my new, at the time, traitorous creation, both the Phantom Ruby and the past version of Sonic ended up in the future at different points in time.But what fortune for the me of said future, as I found out the Ruby couldform illusions so convincing that they could affect the actual reality of those under its power. I found a good guinea pig for it in this exploitable little jackal mercenary who got a knot in his tail over Shadow beating him up. He promptly assimilated with the Ruby and renamed himself \"Infinite\", and with help from some illusionary replicas of four past traitors to me, he managed to defeat Sonic!Victory was mine!Soon, entire nations submitted to my power! Those military try-hards at GUN were cleaned right off the map! In just a mere six months, EVERYTHING had fallen to the might of the Eggman Empire!Butno, somedumb lucky Sonic fanaticwho joined the \"Resistance\" against me justhadto help free Sonic from his prison, Infinite just couldn't be bothered to do his job right andtore holes in my plans one by one, and the aforementioned two Sonics and their new little friend eventually trashedevery last bitof my master scheme! All my planning,all my plotting,I finally hadeverythingAND THOSE PESTS STILL HUMILIATED ME TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!NNGGGGRRRAAUUUGH!!!Cubot:N-now, boss! Breathe!Breathe!Remember your blood pressure!YES!(inhale, exhale)Yes, Cubot.I know.So what next, you might ask? Well, I'm just undergoing some downtime right now, but I assure you that I've got some new revenge schemes planned out, and next timeI will be victorious!Especially sincemy newest discoveryseems promising... except... ugh, I basically had to team up with that blue pest to save the world from a thing that destroys worlds or so I was told. I mean, sure, I had my AI assistant who basically got really interested in him, but I'm probably gonna have to keep a close eye to ensure she doesn't go out again, just like when she left me and sacrificed herself to save the world. Doesn't she know how I wept for her after seeing the world saved?! Kids these days, no respect!But as an aside, I do have this little pet project.(I go to a computer screen and type in some commands, with the screen then showing different versions of me)Impressive, is it not? I managed to tap into the space-time spectrum for a bit and found out that there's even more versions of yours truly out there!First off, here's a reality whereI was more absurd in character\u2014 yet no less devilishly dangerous\u2014 and also had two (sometimes three) hench-bots so bumbling that they make me feel a little more grateful for Orbot and Cubot. By about, say, one percent. He also coined the \"I hate that hedgehog!\" catchphrase that other versions of me have used, and once had this time-travel escapade where he collected his world's Chaos Emeralds and briefly achieved godhood with them. Unfortunately, he wasn't themostfeared person in his reality. That honor was taken by his mother ofMomma Robotnik. Yeah, I'd\u2026 I guess it makes sense from that standpoint. It's a close second place.Ooh, and here's one whereI conquered Sonic's little homeland and made it my own. And I mean, yes, he's got the villainy down, sure, but I'm honestly not a fan of his aesthetic choices. Coincidentally, there'san alternate version of THAT universe where my empire was going strong and had half the planet in its grasp\u2026 until something called a\"Genesis Wave\"warped that world into something more akin to my universe. Wonder who'd have been stupid enough to causethatto happen.There'sa lesser-known realitywhere I began as the goody-two-shoes Dr. Ovi Kintobor, who sought to rid the world of evil using a special machine and the Chaos Emeralds, but an accident involving it and a rotten egg (and a Sonic from the future) transformed him into yours truly. Thanks to some time-travel shenanigans, he managed to get Sonic out of the way and take his rule over the planet until a planet-wide EMP trashed all his machines. Afterwards, he teamed up with fish cyborgs, briefly attained godhood, got warped to a subatomic world, and then performed an unceremonious rage quit by attempting to destroy the very planet he intended to conquer, which was enough for even his deathly loyal right-hand-man to give up on him.You had me and you lost me, other self.There's one whereI tried to destroy the planetso I could\u2026 procreate with an annoying humanoid cat-girl and repopulate whatever remains? I swear, that version of me must have some very,veryweird tastes. That's where my curiosity ends, thankfully.And another one whereI ousted Sonic's birth mother from her throneand had to deal with him and his siblings'annoying rock musicwith\u2026 two other bumbling sidekicks? That were ugly dog-things instead of robots, no less?One whereI accidentally sent Sonic and his friends to a human-filled realm where he made friends with a young brat and some events of my universe still transpired, and I yet again had two (sometimes three) bumbling sidekicks. I'm sensing a pattern here.And there's another whereI\u2026 don't really do much of anything villainy-wise.I mean, I'm more\u2026butch, I guess? The Sonic there also has longer limbs, blue arms, and duct tape worn around his arms and shoes. Not sure what the big deal with that is.And my latest find,a universe with an identical history to my own up until my use of the Phantom Ruby.Seems that this me managed to make a metallic virus at one point that transformed the masses into his mindless slaves. Very interesting. It's too bad he let it slip out of his control, not to mention how that platypus brown-nose ruined everything else. He sadly doesn't seem to show up that much, either.Now there's anew universe where my alternate self found an artifact called the Paradox Prism. As per tradition, that impulsive insectivore tried to interfere and he and his friends get sent to alternate worlds for their troubles including one where I took over the world and exist as a council of five people willing to share. Yes, dimensional travel never stops being weird.noteOrbot:Sir, that onemight actually beourreality.Me:Meh, given all the discrepancies it has compared to our timeline (and our dear readers' disillusionment with cross-media), the higher-ups of our series could just as easilychange their tune about itwhen they feel it's time to de-clutter again. Give it a few years, Orbot. It doesn't just happen with us.Orbot:But I thought\u2014Me:Also, don't try to correct me again. I'm the genius here.There was also thisbizarre incidentwhere I became a disembodied spirit by an entity that could put the likes of Dark Gaia and the Time Eater to shame and rivaled only by THE END. I've been told that Sonic was among those who managed to keep their bodies and fight back during the whole affair, but I am confident that this \"Mr. Sakurai\" I've heard about or a successor of his will allow me to do the same the next time something like this happens. Which I'm sure you also desire. Demand that your voices be heard and get me into that championship! That's an order!Cubot:Ooh! Ooh! Hey, boss! What about the one where you're all skinny and look like somefamous comedy actor?Oh, yes,the more heavily-detailed and beady-eyed one.That version of me was apparently working with the government in that universe, and he had\u2026 hair. At least until his version of the blue mutant exiled him to a mushroom wasteland,but that's been rectified since.Lack of gut aside, Idolike the cut of his jib, and his glorious new 'stache on top of it. I shall be watching this new universe with very keen investment.And that's the big jist of all you need to know about the gentleman genius that is yours truly. I only hope hearing my story has taught you everything that being a scientist is all about: find something, continue searching until you can understand it\u2026 and then exploit it for your own purposes!Nyahaha!Hmm? You still want to know more? Well, I think I've said quite a lot, but why deny my audience an encore performance? Especially one as, er\u2026\"captive\"as you are. Now, further bask in my greatness, and ensure you write me with authenticity, FOOLS!Tropes associated with your planet's future ruler, in all his incarnations:Ace Pilot: Ah yes, I'm an absolute master at piloting aircraft! I've also seen all of my versions being masterful pilots too. Eventhat one version of me who was with the governmenthad a high-tech aircraft to call his own and he could also pilot it with ease and go really fast doing so!Acrofatic: Ho ho! Remember, I'm aprofessional Olympic athlete, a notedExtreme Gear championand I've evenkept pace with the rodentin the past. And I'm sure you've been taught by countless other media that even piloting cutting-edge battle mecha involves a lot of stretching and multitasking, which you can infer yours truly does on the regular.Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Not as bad as the rodent's alternate self,but there's this version of methat grew up as an orphan and had to deal with bullies. Iwon'twaste time telling you if my childhood was nearly as much of a drag, but you already know that I at least havea grandfather. Oh, right. Also his granddaughter. Which would thus make her my cousin\u2026 bah, who cares?Adaptational Badass: Can you believe there've been no less thantwootherversionsof me that used the Chaos Emeralds to achieve godhood and became aReality Warper, and that there's arecent version of methat he could justabsorbjust the Master Emerald's power by itself,withoutthe Chaos Emeralds andwithoutneeding to use it to power a robot first? The latter me even hadtelekinesis,the power to sense people's brainwaves, andChaos Controlitself! If I had tried this sooner, perhaps things would've been so much easier for me!Adaptational Dumbass: The newer version of me fromthat comichadundergone his own war with the Resistancewith what I can believe was the sameplanningandforesightthat I utilized\u2026 and yethe carelessly allowed his Zombot virus to spiral out of his controland did nothing about it until hisplatypus brown-nosebrought in the Deadly Sixof all peopleto screw both of them over. I'd hardly say I'd ever fallen to such passivity before. Granted, I've heard that he's regained some rationale lately throughbreaking said platypus in mind, body and spirit, but if he hadn't screwed up his own plan in the first place, perhaps Starline wouldn't have been uppity enough to try and prove himself his \"superior\".\"Big oof\", nonetheless.Adaptational Nice Guy: Hold on,WHAT!?I mean, Iama complicated guy, but\u2026 ugh. Let's see here:It seems that whenever I happen to beat the Olympics,hosting an online question-and-answer sessionor doingsome other kind of recreational activitywith the rat and his ratpack, I'm morefriendly, affable and down-to-earth with them.I don't know what comes over me, but rest assured, it's back to the grind the moment that all ends.The version of me fromthat animeand itstie-in comictakes the cake, however. Not only is hemore personable with his opponents to the point of casually showing up to their pool party, but he's also willing to sanitize his own villainy for the alleged reason ofnot scaring off the younger members of his audience. And then there's his most egregious quote of all, \"It's one thing to take people PRISONER and THREATEN them, but when you actually HURT somebody, that's going TOO FAR!\" Which he says in spite ofyearsof attempts on his Sonic's life? Even afterrigging an explosive trap on himjust likeIdid!? Or does he also prefer to get it over with?Ugh.Moving on!Actually, scratch that.The butch version of meis evenmoresoft-boiled than the aforementioned anime me. He doesn't eventryto be a big, imposing adversary. Heck, despite allegedly wanting to destroy his foes, he's practically a glorified neighbor to them, and he's tried tobefriendhis version of Sonic more than once! I just\u2014why!? For what reason!?Whichone's the sillier version of me again? Him orthe other one?Aesop Amnesia: Since my transition to the three-dimensional world, I've been subject to an unsavory trend of relying on powerful ancient entities to conquer the world\u2026 which, admittedly, ended upbiting me on the bumper.Fortunately, being the great scientist that I always am,I've learned from my mistakes and have improved immensely:I've managed to harness the power of theTime Eaterwithout ever losing control of it! Though, in fairness, it was already out of commission when I found it in the void of space, but that only added to the beauty of my whole scheme. With help from my younger self in perfecting it, that long drawn-out trend was finally broken!\u2026Only for it to come back with a vengeance whenI lost control of the Deadly Six. Onlythattime, it was the fault of that reckless blue mammal who kicked the Cacophonic Conch out of my hand! Fortunately, after Sonic cleaned up his mess with those silly Zeti freaks,I managed to regain my status as the final boss under their noses!Hahaha!Another example to prove I've learned from my shortcomings is how I had the foresight put thatlousy jackalon a leash so I could dispose of him at a moment's notice. I considered how giving that lunatic the Phantom Ruby could backfire, but to my surprise, Infinite didn't choose to betray me. Though he still turned out to be the inverse of his namesake after screwing up one time too many, so with that, I decided togive him the boot, and he was never heard from again.Good riddance!Amusement Park of Doom: Ah, yes! I'm quite a fan of the genre, between the different theme parks I've put together over the years.Aside from when Itook over Casino Nightand turnedCarnival Night into a death trap for Sonic, I did once attempt to converta special little island into a resort for myself a while back\u2026 before that knucklehead and some other posers got involved with my plans. Where do vermin like them keep coming from, anyway?I also once put togethera park made of gold ringsthat GUN decided to snoop around in. And I think that mytalking photocopy tried his own luck at a few theme parks, too.But even those were paltry compared to the ultimate testament of my showmanship\u2014Eggmanland!I finally managed to complete itwhen I cracked the world apart, andohohoho,it was so amusing to watch Sonic fumble about!But then Dark Gaia had to go and louse it all when he reformed himself!(sigh)My life dream's been stuck collecting dust ever since.But I was undeterred! I tried again and went bigger and better with my\"Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park\", the greatest amusement park the universe would ever see! Much as it was just a feint for my next scheme. It would've went smoothly if Sonic hadn't destroyed one of my security bots and sent one of its arms flying into my mind-control cannon, in turn causing my whole masterpiece to overload andimplode on itself into a black hole!(quietly sobs)That wonderful labor of love, gone in an instant before it could be the beacon of my conquest. This is why we can't have nice things, you know!And Your Little Dog, Too!: My alternate self has the number ofthat sheriff and his wifewho helped his Sonic. I suppose they'll be next on his list to eliminate.Antagonist in Mourning:When I had gotten rid of Sonic with that exploding capsule, I was admittedly...solemnin uttering a farewell to my \"admirable adversary\".But that doesn't matter, after all, turning that runt into space chunks was such agloriousvictory! At least until it turned out he had survived bysomehowusing Chaos Control with a fake Emerald. Blasted hedgehog!Appropriated Appellation: It was Sonic who named me \"Eggman\", but I've embraced the name! I made it my own!Although I am not going to adopt\"Baldy McNosehair\".Arch-Enemy: Have you even been paying attention? That pest Sonic doesn't know when to stay out of my business and just\u2026diealready! It's as if we've been fighting fordecadesat this point!Artificial Family Member:I've come around to viewing myAI program, Sage, as my own daughter. No need to wait for nature to do the workwhen you're already a genius. Besides, with all the trouble she gave Sonic, she's a chip off the old block!The pointy-headed mecreated a robot son simply called \"Robotnik Jr.\" Unfortunately, he turned on him and sided with Sonic. He also created a robot wife as part of his scheme to get elected President of Mobius.The butch version of mecreated \"Mombot\", a robot designed to act as his mother. Despite how he would effectively be her father. And somehow her son.Her father and her son.It'sreallynot surprising that this version of me has so many issues.Bad Boss: Bad?Me?Please, I'm a great employer!It's not my fault my lackeys can't keep up with my intellect! They should be lucky I don'tturn them intomindless slavesand instead let them keep their free will to help serve my empire! Willingly and happily, I might add!The Bad Guy Wins: Hmph! Sonic may get a majority of victories, but I've come out the victor a few times myself in my dimension and a few others.As stated above, I actually managed to hand Sonic his keister through the Phantom Ruby and Infinite, and took over the world! Okay, those annoying heroes managed to take it back, but it was still a solid victory nonetheless.That whole mess with the hover boards and birds?I came out on top in the end after they beat that evil genie\u2026 thing.The prize was still underwhelming, sadly.So what if it's amagicfloating carpet? I can't exploitthatfor my schemes!In another timeline, I teamed up with Sonic and his friends to fight some rogue echidna faction and stayed behind when they chased their leader into another dimension. Since time moved differently on both sides, it gave me ample time to take over the world by the time they managed to return. A shame I've never been able to find out what happened in that reality next, but it's good to see I had the royal flush of cards in the end! Ohohoho!Ineveryone's favorite printed dimension, an alternate version of me from another dimension (yes, I know, there's indeed a lot a dimensions involved here) had actually won in his universe by justnukingeverything on his planet. Predictably, he got bored, and he likewise couldn'truleover a dead husk, so he found out about the \"prime\" dimension within that set of realities and jumped over to fill the void left behind by their felled Robotnik! Just goes to show you can't keep a good doc down!Beware the Silly Ones: Silly?! Who calls a scientific genius silly? But I digress. I never let my \"silliness\" undermine my brilliancy and cunning!Big Bad: The ultimate adversary forallthe world's heroes, and don't you forget it!Boring, but Practical: There was one time I actuallystole Sonic's shoes and replaced them with speed-down boots. If I'd only done this more often rather than creating robotic duplicates and rousing ancient beings from their slumber, my problems would've been solved! But more importantly, it wasa wonderfully special kind of torture!Ho ho!Broken Pedestal: I was appalled when I learned that my grandfather reprogrammed the Space Colony ARK to come crashing down to the planet, destroying everything and everyone in the process, all so he could enact his revenge for the loss of his granddaughter.That mad scientist!Killingeveryoneon the planet, includinghis own grandson destined to rule it!?That's so impractical I can't even find the words for it!He should've just used the ARK itself to destroy those military geeks at GUN!...To be fair, this was before we all learnedwhat he really built the Eclipse Cannon for.That wasbrilliantforwhen the comet returned like he predicted!Card-Carrying Villain: Just had one printed yesterday for the occasion, actually. Allow me to read it out.Ahem.\"Dr. Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik, super-genius. Glorious head of the Eggman Empire. Future world leader (singular), senior roboticist and engineer, and enthusiast in the complete enslavement of the masses and cultivation of natural resources.

The version of him that came after (longstory) came close at times, but he didn't quite hit the mark. Something about wanting to be a robot dad.There was also one lesser-knownprinted version of methat once again ravaged cities and turned people into robots, and also permitted his forces to burn a whole continent to ashes to ensure they got the hedgehog. The kicker was that he threw Sonic, Amy and some outlying echidna princess into an active volcano while taking a photo of it to hang above the chimney. Quite classy, if I say so myself.Sure, you might overlook theoddball animated reality with all the horrible musical numbers, but the version of me there has been just as rotten as the rest. More lower-class fools and insolents have gotten turned into robots (cyborgs?) for their troubles, I've forced the three hedgehogs and their many loved ones to suffer at every opportunity\u2026 ooh, there's even one point where I sought to turn a sanctuary for the Resistance's childreninto a cemetery! Heh heh! Plus, I duped that reality's diminutive version of Knuckles into catching Sonic and his siblings for me even as the world was collapsing into chaos.Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Huh. It appearsthe man himselfis around here, too. But contrary to popular belief, I dohave plenty of perfectly legal money-making enterprisesof which I can use to further fund my schemes of conquest. I mean, what, did you think I wanted to rule the world for a reasonotherthan ruling the world?Despotism Justifies the Means: I don't view myself as particularly picky. As long as a place\u2014 be it primitive, advanced, pristine or otherwise\u2014 has beings thatcanbe enslaved, then that's good enough for me!Determinator: A lesser man would've thrown in the towel if he went through all the hardships I have. Unfortunately for the rodent who keeps thwarting my plans, I amnota lesser man. Iwillachieve my eternal Eggman Empire, and Iwilldestroy Sonic and all his stupid friends!Detonation Moon: Who could ever forget the timeI blew up half of the moon with the Eclipse Cannonjust to let everyone know that I'm going to conquer the world?Word has itthat the moon is still broken; it's just always facing the other way when we see it. Then again, my anime version fixed it (and called it the Eggmoon) as part of a scheme to block the sun. Heh. If only I had thought of that in the games!Didn't Think This Through: WHAT!? WHOSAYSI DON'T!?ALL MY PLANS ARE BRILLIANT!Okay, maybe I\u2026havetended to overlook afewglaring flaws in my past schemes. Like maybe when you're trying to control mystic deities, find a way to keep a leash on them, as I did the Time Eater. Or maybe put some \"safety protocols\" into your devices should they go haywire.

Even with all my losses to that insipid hedgehog, he and his little friends know I will always be back and won't rest until the world is mine!Enemy Mine: Loathed as I hate to admit it, there are... moments where even my genius can't overcome certain situations alone, with both Sonic and I having a common threat we have to take care of. Thus, we agree to team up to stop it, since Sonic wants to \"save the world\" like usual, and sinceI'd prefer there to BE a worldthat I can conquer later. More specifically, they wereon the ARK,against Gemerl,against the Zeti, andagainst that big monologuing rock. In other cases, we justregrettablyhappened to be in the same room.Enraged by Idiocy: Few things make my blood boil more than the sheer stupidity and uselessness of my mechanical underlings Orbot and Cubot. Then again, it's the expected price to pay for when you create those robots with less intelligence. On the plus side, it's impossible for them to (successfully) rebel against me that way.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Okay, okay,fine, I'll admit it. I created anAI, Sage, to help me explore the Starfall Islands, and I've come to view her as my own daughter. Yes, it's not anything I'd ever think would happen given how usually the only heart I've ever needed or wanted ismine, but as I've said before\u2026 I'm a complicated guy. Besides, isn't it important to beproud of your own work?Even Evil Has Standards: I may be a ruthless, diabolical scientist, but I'm also a man of principle. Most notably, I wouldneverdestroy the entire planet out of petty revenge. After all,I would have no planet to conquer.I was disgusted and horrified when I had learnedmy grandfather betrayed his own species and home planet to Black Doom and his ravenous hive of monsters all in the name of research. But my assumptions were wrong, thankfully, he had built the Eclipse Cannon to deal with those alien mongrels when they would return fifty years later, a plan which Shadow sufficiently fulfilled.I was horrified when myso-called \"alternate self\" from the Sol Dimension activated the Egg Wizard's Planet-Buster Laserin a last-ditch effort to defeat Sonic and that cat princess. Another reason why I'm glad I'm notrelatedto that lunatic.That annoying little chihuahua assumed that I would starve Professor Pickle after I imprisoned him, but Tails assured him that I'm \"not that cruel\". And he was far from wrong. I gave him some slices of cucumber sandwiches at his request, but the old coot didn't appreciate this because they weren't his preferred size.Tsk!Everyone's a critic, even hostages!After activating my machine designed to sap life energy from the world, I made sure that it reaches a small threshold before turning it off since I only wanted to borrow some of it. But those Zeti rejects intended to takeallof the world's energy, which nearly destroyed this world!Despite successfully (and FINALLY) conquering the world, I grew sick of Infinite's petty and sadistic tendencies, especially when theyRUINED ALL MY PLANS. Once that useless jackal got his pathetic hide handed to him by Sonic and some random punk for the third time, I kicked him to the curve, and I don't regret it at all!Evil Versus Oblivion: There have been afewtimeswhere the entire world, no, all of reality itself was threatened by something beyond my control. That should bemyjob! But I begrudgingly left it to that meddlesome hedgehog to fix such messes. After all, I can't conquer the planet and expand the Eggman Empire if there's no planet left to begin with!Fat Bastard: Watch your language, bucko. And by the way, my weight has nothing to do with my supervillainous magnificence, thank you!Faux Affably Evil: Oh, no, no, I'd argue that description'sa load of hoopla.I'm quite the gentleman genius, and my universal conquest is simply a way for me to express mylove!Besides, I haven't blasted you to bits yet, have I,you little sneak?Flaw Exploitation: Let's say I have a track record of tricking that gullible echidna into fighting Sonic. And I had gained the advantage over Sonic by playing with that cocky ego of his.Fountain of Memes: It seems you lot have a vested interest inmimickingwhat I've said asI've been fighting the little ratin particular, and have a similar attitude towardsone of my other selves. It's\u2026 cute, I suppose. Unless it's mockery, in which case you can enjoysuperenslavement and/or a dirt nap down the line.In related news, I'm acutely aware ofthat little improv act worldwhere my quotability extended to nearly every breath I took. I won't say that cartoonishly oddball version of me isentirelyembarrassing given that he's the only one therewith any marginal lick of sense, but I feel he would agree with me in that you folks have your priorities out of order, such as focusing more on the moon'slittle experienceon than onthe girth and mightof what exactlygaveit that little experience.But I suppose willful ignorance like that is par for the course among those too little-minded to realize their own envy.Freudian Excuse:I wouldn't go as far as to use my background to get pity(and a great scientist like myself wouldn't need it from you ignoramuses) but youcouldargue that my desire to take over the world stems from my loathing of you humans for being so petty and inept (huge,hugeemphasis on the latter). An easy example would be how the government feared the scientific achievements of my grandfather instead of appreciating the brilliance behind them,but contrary to popular belief, I've never been up foravengingthe old fool outright. It's not the \"Gerald Robotnik Memorial Empire\", for Pete's sake. I would rather see his legacy as a base or template; something to reach its evolution through the efforts of an even more brilliant mind with just as much inclination to improve the world. And what better way formeto improve the world than by ruling it with an iron fist and proving once and for all thatI'mthe ultimate paragon of science and ingenuity? Ohoho!On another note, when Maria was riddled with bullets on the day of the ARK raid, all my family were sad about how such a special little snowflake passed away. Meanwhile,Iwas right there and already a budding prodigy,so what excuse did they have to ignore me while blubbering over someone who was gone?They should've recognized me as someone just as goodandjust as better! Geez. You won't seemebeing asshamefully neglectfularound Sage, I can tell you that!Final Boss: Back in the classic games, I was always the final challenge for you players to face! In the modern games, this tends to vary depending on when some other evil entity or group gets involved, but I've managed to reclaim this title somewhat. As nature intended.Game-Over Man: Did you mess up in keeping me from the Chaos Emeralds in the old games? Then you get to watch as I juggle them in your face! Better try again\u2026 or better yet,don't!Ohohohoho!Genius Bruiser: Believe it or not, I've demonstratedimpressive speed and strengthin the past, though I'll gladly let my machines do all the heavy work.Giggling Villain: And you'll like it, too!Back inthe daywhen I actually got a hit on Sonic or his sidekick, it would get a giggle out of me!Depending on the rendition of the Angel Island fiascothough, I either drop this habit, or I keep it up nice and well, even programming my stray Eggrobo to do the same!Hidden Depths: I happen to be a feminist. Surprised?You're all primed to be my minions, after all!Hijacked by Eggman:The Time Eater? MY brilliance! Even pretending to get sucked in by it.Impressed? And this was after years of having this pulled on me, by Chaos, the Biolizard, Metal Sonic of all things, Dark Gaia...\"I Am\" Song:E.G.G.M.A.N.Feast your ears on this glorious song dedicated to yours truly!Insufferable Genius: I have an IQ of 300 and have built machines that world governments can only dream of. If you were me,you'dsee everybody as a moron, too. But you're not me, and I pity your little mind for being unable to grasp the tragedy of that.It's All About Me: Well, of course it is! I have a brand name to uphold. It's theEggman Empire, not the \"Everyone Else Municipality\"!Joker Immunity: I've survived my bases exploding, many vehicle crashes, the harsh vacuum of space,inter-dimensional rifts,the droll space between time,being thrown into the stratosphere and back, andthe blue rat himself messing with my jetpack and sending me plummeting towards the ground. My own endurance aside, it just shows that I'm too much of an iconic evil genius to be killed off! Doing that would be a terrible mistake! Granted, there were thosethree phony endings where Shadow karate-chopped me to death, but those are of course obsolete\u2014 I'm too important to die, to put it simply, and I wouldn't have it any other way!Karma Houdini Warranty: You'd think constantly losing would already count as this, but I'll admit, I've been slipping as of late. After my flops, I usually managed to slip away unnoticed. It wasn't until Metal Sonicturned on methat my failures began blowing up in my face. I knew I shouldn't have hired the Chaotix of all slop detectives, but their greed made it too tempting.Lack of Empathy: My ingenious plans to conquer the world have inflicted mass destruction and untoldsuffering, you say? Pfft.Whatever!If anything, it's actually a rather useful reminder that I indeed leave a mark of my brilliance on the world. I'd say it's my own form of \"tough love\" for it.Laughably Evil: Funny?! ME?! Okay, okay, I must admit that I am quite the hilarious villain. Even when I'm planning on committing such nefarious deeds, I do tend to be quite the bombastic and entertaining fellow. And then there's my many interactions with my annoying and incompetent robot henchmen, Orbot and Cubot, that make me so annoyed in a comical way. Then there's that blasted hedgehog and his insufferable friends constantly making a fool out of me!Mad Scientist: That's me!Magnificent Bastard:OHOHOHOHO!Though perhaps it'd be fitting to call me theEggnificent\u2026 er,Bad Guy. I'm such a cut above the rest that I should be given my own title! As forsome specific timesof when my brilliance reached a peak:For me personally, there's quite a few cases:sending Sonic, Mighty and Ray kicking and screaming throughout their Eggman Island tomb;staying constantly one step ahead of Sonic as I restored Chaos more and more to full power;tricking that blue buffoon into cleaning up his Zeti-shaped mess for me; andeverythingI didto keep the Resistance from getting their easy victory.There's also that ancillary version of me from thatother timelinewhere I tricked Sonic and all his foolish little friends into practicallygivingme the world to conquer!Bwahahahaha!In the case of other dimensions, there'sthat animated version of methat contributed to the downfall of those Metarex aliens. While his propensity for\u2026friendlinesswith the hedgehog still disgusts me, I can at least admire his actions in playing everyone like the dollar-store kazoos they were. His version of Sonic, however the life expectancy, has alotto give him credit for.Misanthrope Supreme: I'm not a fan of the other intellectually inferiorhomo sapiens(the present company looking at this page NOT excluded)and I couldn't care less if my plans have resulted in their suffering. In fact, their terror puts a smile to my face! Hahahaha!Mysterious Employer: AfterMetal Sonic rebelled against me and locked me in a room inside my flying fortress, I decided to hire those goofy detectives in helping me foil Metal Sonic's selfish plan in ruling the world for himself. But to avoid letting them figure out my identity since I am a world-renowned villain, I made myself a secret client for them. Unfortunately, I didn't make myself less obvious and the Chaotix figured out my identity (well Vector did, the other two only worked it after meeting me in person) and that bee brat stung me many times! And they forced me to pay them as promised! Grrr! Never again will I hire detectives!Narcissist: Oh, sure, use aninsultto describe my beautiful self-adoration.You're quite the intelligent specimen.Perhaps instead it would do you good to join in with worshiping meas if your life depended on it. Just a thought, just a thought.Never My Fault: Absolutely! I'm the world's greatest scientist! OfcourseI can do no wrong! Just to give an example, when Sonicrecklessly punted the Cacophonic Conch out of my grasp, I lost control of the Zeti, and they turned against me before deciding to drain the world's energy for themselves! Therefore, it was that blue buffoon's fault that the world nearly ended up in shambles! Wait, what? Where did you get the blasted idea that I wasabusingthose creatures!? I've already told you,I'm a GREAT employer!Noodle Incident: Apparently, one of my other selves oncemade his childhood bully eat through a straw for a year. Hmm.Noblewoman's Laugh:O~hohohoho!I'm one of the few men who can pull this off withstyle!Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: I'm sure your feeble mind is curious as to how I can afford building my robots, machines, flying fortresses, bases of operations, and space stations. Let's just say that, between all mystartup tech companies, resource mining operations and casinos, being the world's greatest scientist with an IQ of 300 has gifted me with a wholelottadough! Yes, there was that timeI didn't pay the Chaotix for their services after Metal Sonic locked me in a room, but I assure you that only happened because the Egg Fleet's construction costs took priority andnot because I was unwilling to give away perfectly good money to three slop detectives.Rooting for the Empire: There's at least a few continuities where I'm more liked than the obnoxious hedgehog. For example, in theold comic continuity, I provided the Dark Egg Legion sanctuary as long as they pledged their loyalty to me. Asmallprice to pay, yes, but considering how the Kingdom of Acorn was run by incompetents stuck in the Dark Ages made worse by adding in a bungling, bickering \"council\" of dimwits, and their so-called allies the Brotherhood of Guardians were a bunch of hypocrites when it came to technology being \"evil\" as well as letting their scion be easily manipulated by the likes of me, not to mention some of the more rabid splinter factions of so-called \"Freedom Fighters\", there were worse alternatives.Surrounded by Idiots: I can't seem to shake this pattern of having buffoons as my subordinates in any reality. Even when said lackeys have some intelligence like that wimp Snively or that platypus doctor Starline, they can't stand up to the magnificence ofmoiand I have to suffer for it. Then again, an idiotiseasier to keep under my thumb than someone with devious ambition, even if the two traits aren't mutually exclusive. Isn't that right,Starscream?Take Over the World: It's been my life's goal since I was a child! And it's whatI've already succeeded at once, too! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!Token Human: Depends on the dimension, but for the most part I tend to be the only human around aside from Sonic's fuzzy entourage. Or at the least the one with the most focus, as it should be!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Oh ho ho! I rememberfightingfellow mad scientistDoctor Wilyalongside our robot armies.Wait, what? What do you mean, we both lost? To a viral-infected Metal Sonic?Blah!noteDr. Wily:Ha! And you know what? My ultimate creation, Zero, eventually put that metal hedgehog down! So I win in the end!Me:Can it! You just wait until I complete my own ultimate creation, a superior robot version of your\u2026 oh. I just realized I can't quite make a robot versionofa robot, but nevertheless, Iwillstill surpass you!Anyways, ya still good for Friday, Al?Dr. Wily:Yes, I'm still up for our genius get-together.Me:Great. See ya!Unwilling Roboticisation:Ah, yes, my magnum opus: turning organics into robots. Exquisite, isn't it? Sure, most scientists I showed it to claim it was \"unethical\", but what dotheyknow!? It's an untapped energy source and has been the heart of my operations ever since I started my endeavors. My alternate counterparts have even expanded it into converting humanoids into mindless robots. Plus, logically, it's a great form of immortality. No pain, no suffering from illness, you'll never run out of stamina that hinders your weak fleshy body, andyou'll never need to think for yourself ever again! It's genius!Genius, I say!Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Youdostill remember when I tried to blow up Station Square andsucceededin blowing up the moon, right?Villainous Friendship: Even a number one like me is up for a little get-together with my fellow top dogs of ruthlessness and reverence. Gotta share success stories with someone, after all. Perhaps next time I'll meet up withthat Gerudo king.notePreferably, the original one with all the proper experience and history. Thenew onethat I've been informed of is\u2026 rather different.I'm sure you're all familiar with whoBowseris, along withthe times we spent together at the Olympicsexploiting regional power sources for our own ends. If his nemesis and mine ever get that action-packed adventure together that some of you lot have been asking for, I'll be sure to ring him up.noteBowser:Plannin' an attack on those nerdsoutsidethe Olympics...? DUDE. I have NEVER thought of that! Eggy, whenever you're ready to stomp out those red and blue chumps, I am TOTALLY on board! Gwa ha ha ha!And let's not forget onethe dear Dr. Albert Wily, the other magnificent man of machine mastery\u2026 but so far only in that one other timelinewhere we teamed upto rewrite reality\u2014 using technologymyother self invented\u2014 only for Sonic and Mega Man to show up and send everything south. We apparentlyteamed up on another occasionin those dimensions, but any data I can get from that point in time-space is pretzel-shaped andverycluttered. Hopefully, there'll be another opportunity for us to meet up, trade notes, share a drink, watch some good cinema, and blow those two little upstarts to bits!Bwahahaha!Villain Respect: There are things about people I dislike - ordespise- that simply have to be commended. Beingtrapped in Cyberspace depending upon Sage for everythingwill make you reflect on that, believe you me.For all the frustration and ruin that blasted hedgehog brought unto me, his naturalSuper Speedisn't a trait that many individuals are able to develop on their own in any given universe, and he was the first in mine to flaunt it. Such requires a modicum of begrudging respect, and I'm man enough to admit that. It'll make his inevitable destruction all the more thematically satisfying, after all.Tails has a natural knack for machinery and robotics that in many ways rivals my own. On one hand, I feel he's wasting that talent through his parasitic co-dependency with that cerulean curmudgeonandtheir combined \"heroics\". On the other hand, I havea fewdocumentedrecordingsthat remind mewhysaid parasitic co-dependency is still a good thing for me...I still recallthe days Amy Rose was easy bait for me to use against Sonic. These days, however, I've come to realize and accept that those days are long gone: her athleticism and skill with that hammer are eclipsed only by her raw determination. It's too bad how eventhatis outdone by her petulant infatuation with the blue showboater, though.Errgh.noteSage, I need you to simulate a battle where pinky here teams up in action with that plumber's main squeeze. I'll forward the results to Bowser later.Worthy Opponent: It's no secret thatIHATEthat hedgehog, but I will admit that I have some level of respect for him for being such a persistent adversary. It's why I chose to fight fire with fire using Metal, after all. Most evident is whenhe survived that exploding escape capsule by using Chaos Control with a fake Emerald.I suppose it means I'll have to be a little more sneaky next time, but that's no challenge.Would Hurt a Child: It seems some of you are prone to forgetting that most of my nemeses arebelow legal age and not even trying to hide it, which nevertheless has no bearing on the fact that I have worked tokill them in battleon a regular basis. Yes, even the schoolgirl rabbit, and even if the latest pest getting in the way of my plans was somehow a drooling infant with zero motor skills. I aim to run atidyoperation, thank you, and youth won't help you any more than age will if you dare to defy me. If anything, the extra layer of annoyance that comes with youth would further prompt me to get to the point.Me:So, are you finally convinced of my brilliant plans? \u2026What!? You AREN'T!? Why, you\u2026 your poor judgement will be shown for what it is once I finish bringing my empire back up to snuff, so get ready for\u2014! \u2026Wait, why are the alarms blaring again? What's going onnow!?Alarm:[blares warning incessantly amidst the sound of my laser cannons, defences and robots getting destroyed]Orbot:Uh, well\u2026 don't be mad, boss\u2026 but while you were going over yourglorious history\u2026 well\u2026Cubot:Sonic snuck in and he's wrecking the place.Me:WHAT!?(a pesky blue blur comes in and blows the door open)Sonic:Yo, Egghead! Thanks for the workout! Thought I'd give ya a personal house call on how well your last batch a' bots performed! \u2026Oh. I see you've got a hostage. Hope I didn't embarrass ya too much in front of a captive audience! Lemme just grab 'em and\u2026 there we go!(the rat zooms off) Take care, Baldy McNosehair!Me:RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!I HATE THAT HEDGEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGG!!!!!!!Alternative Title(s):Doctor Eggman,Sonic The Hedgehog Dr Ivo Eggman Robotnik"} {"text": "Me, as Mathias Cronqvist:For Count Dracula from the novel, gohere.(The Lord of Vampires is beloved by the night. Especially when channelingNorio Wakamoto,Nobuhiko Kazama,Joji Nakata, andNaoya Uchidaif speaking Japanese. For English, then it'sMichael Guinn,Crispin Freeman,Patrick Seitz, andGraham McTavish. For Spanish, itsCarlos Segundo)Mankind.A cesspit of hatred and lies. I know of this first-hand. Is that why you're here, troper? You have come to me because you shun the light in favor of the darkness?If so, then permit me to introduce myself. (bows) I am Dracula Vlad \u0162epe\u015f. And I do not get many visitors nowadays. I am the genuine article, not the Belmont who fancies himself as me.It seems that I am the first vampire to be given his own page.I do set the standard, after all.I was not always the Lord of Vampires. My origins were a bit...humbler.My birth name was Mathias Cronqvist. A name I haven't used in a long time. That was who I was before I shed it in favor for my current one. I was born in the year 1060, raised in an era in which for a knight, knowledge was just as valuable as gold. That was instrumental in my joining an order of knights alongside Leon Belmont, fighting for God and country.Surprised? Long before his descendants became the bane of my existence, I considered Leon as a friend. I also married my sweetheart, Elizabetha. She was a frail woman, but I was devoted to her all the same.Until God took her from me.I was away with Leon on a military expedition when it happened. Elizabetha was alive when I left. When I returned, she was a corpse. I fought wars in God's name and this was my reward?! He took away which I loved the most!No more. No more will I serve Him.I came to the conclusion that if being mortal is God's decree, then I will defy it.And let God and all His works tremble.With that, I began to plan, all the while pretending to be bedridden from grief. To gain eternal life, I recreated the Crimson Stone. All I needed to complete it was the soul of a powerful vampire.A shame that I had to use Leon and his betrothed in my scheme, but the end justified the means.I was the puppet master and I made everyone dance to my tune; Leon, Sara, Walter, even Gandolfi.It was my master stroke, if I can be so modest. I knew Leon would triumph, weakening Walter enough to allow Death to steal his soul and absorb it into the Crimson Stone.Despite everything, Leon was still my friend. I'd rather not have Sara killed before she turned, but it served my purpose. I offered Leon the chance to become a vampire, but he refused my offer.Eternity without her would be nothing but emptiness.Looking back on it now...I understand what you meant by that, Leon.Not even Death could stop Leon. When I met up with the Reaper of Souls, he had a message for me, from Leon:You have become a cursed being and I will never forgive you. This whipand my kinsmen will destroy you someday. From this day on... the Belmont Clan will hunt the night!So began the Belmont Clan's vendetta against me, one that would end with my death a little over 900 years from now.I fled Transylvania and changed my name. Mathias Cronqvist was dead. Now, and forever, I was Count Dracula Vlad \u0162epe\u015f. Over the centuries, I built my power and influence, with Castlevania as my crowning achievement and symbol of my power.Over four centuries would pass. Then, I met Lisa.I was smitten. Lisa was a healer, creating medicines to care for the sick. She had that fire, that gentle strength that Elizabetha once had. Well, that and she could pass as my first wife, reincarnated.We fell in love, and she warmed my black heart. We married and she bore me a son, Adrian \u0162epe\u015f. You know him as Alucard. (smiles fondly as he looks at a family portrait ofhimself, Lisa and a young Adrian\u25ca) She made me...happy.(mood darkens) But once again, my love was taken from me.The Church accused my wife of witchcraft when all she did was tend to their ills. My beloved was no witch. But they burned her at the stake.When Lisa died, all that remained good within me also died. That was when my war against mankind began.But mankind had its protectors, primarily those from Leon's bloodline. I still remember their names, their faces, even now. Trevor Belmont. Christopher and his son. Simon Belmont.But what hurt the most was when my own son not only disowned me, but rebelled against me and sided with the humans! The same mindless fools that killed his mother!He would later tell me why after we had fought, that he was following Lisa's final wishes.Do not hate humans. If you cannot live with them, then at least do them no harm, for theirs is already a hard lot.Adrian also relayed a personal message from Lisa to me, that she would love me for eternity.Oh, Lisa. Forgive me.Adrian's revelations were not enough to stop my plans. If it wasn't a Belmont that challenged me, it was a distant relative, or an order of monster hunters. As long as man has hatred in their hearts and offer me tribute, I shall return.Adrian finally figured that out. In 1999, in what would be known as the Demon Castle War, I died my final death. By severing my link with Chaos and by extension, Castlevania, I died not as Dracula, but as Mathias Cronqvist.I would later be reincarnated as Soma Cruz, but that is another story.Along with the one whereI seemed to have started out as a Belmont myself.Aside from the standard fare of action games, I alsohave a fighting gameunder my belt. It also has made the fighters here wary of my intentions.the son of Spardacould be considered a threat should he comes after me. Better keep an eye on him for the time being. I was also invited bythe entity known as Dharkon to wage war against his antithesis, Galeem. In addition to being the end boss to both Belmonts in their Classic routes, I was the final bossto some strange yellow spherical creature that eats \"ghosts\"anda human plumberthathunts them. I am also the midboss to theso-called \"One-Winged Angel\"in his path to being \"The Undisputed\". I admit he was a formidable opponent and I had to yield.But it is theanimated adaptationthat impresses me the most. It makes me into a more sympathetic villain, and brief as it may been, showed my relationship with Lisa. To the creators of the show, I raise my glass to you. A far better depiction of me than thatasinine mediocrity that dares passes as myself!Or that ridiculous parody Alucard fromHellsing.What is a trope? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk. Have at them!Affably Evil: Even a vampire of my standing have some class, even towards my enemies. Furthermore, despite the bad blood between us, I respect my son and for a time, was devoted to both Elizabetha and Lisa.Alas, Poor Villain: When Alucard rose in rebellion and bested me, I made an appeal to Lisa for forgiveness.The Antichrist: I am merely the focus for the physical connection of the evil which dwells in mankind.Archnemesis Dad: (fumes) As much as I care for my son, Adrian justinfuriatesme for standing against me.As Long as There Is Evil: Up until the Demon Castle War, I could never truly die. So long as mankind have darkness in their hearts and their faith turns from God,I will return.As the Good Book Says...: \"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?\" Matthew 16:26, I believe. I recited this verse to Adrianfollowing my defeat at his hands.Back from the Dead:Until my permanent demise in 1999.Balance Between Good and Evil:I am the counter to God on Earth.Batman Gambit:It's how Ibecame a vampirein the first place.Big Bad: For the most part. Other times, I'm relegated to being aGreater-Scope Villain.Big Bad Friend: As Mathias,I was this to Leon,manipulating him and several others in order to achieve my goal of becoming a vampire.And everyone played their parts beautifully.Boomerang Bigot: While I am guilty of the crimes I had done when I was mortal, the humans I targeted are much, much worse than I.BossLeitmotif:Dance of Illusions. So majestic, as it reflects my personality perfectly.Casanova Wannabe: I have a sharp eye for beauty. So when a woman that suits my fancy enters my home, I always give her the chance to join me by my side, to rule for eternity. They refuse, of course. Either way, none could match the caliber of Elizabetha or Lisa.Chaos ArchitectureCastlevania is a creation of Chaos. You can try and map it, but the interior always changes with each incarnation.The Chessmaster: Both as Mathias and as Dracula. As Mathias, I manipulated Leon and Walter in coming to blows, all to gain Walter's soul to fully power the Crimson Stone. As Dracula, I can rely on either Death or any of my loyal minions to revive me once every century.Depending on the Writer: Just how evil and depraved I can be? (shrugs) To be honest, it varies with each of my appearances.Determinator: You can kill me, even sic my own son after me,but I will always return and resume my war on humanity.Dimension Lord: My station as the Dark Lord is what maintains theAbyss; a realm that contains six separate hells that contain the souls of the damned, of which makes up the monsters that guard Castlevania. My home is also a dimension unto itself, being a symbol of not only my will, but the chaos found within mankind.Dracula:The most prominent examplethat is not Bram Stoker's version.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Yes, even I can love. I remember Elizabetha and Lisa with fondness, as I had good memories with both my wives. And Adrian... he was such an inquisitive and sweet boy growing up before he turned against me. Deep down, I'm actually proud of my boy.Evil Laugh: I'm fond of this particularly when I teleport.Evil Overlord: Dark Lord, to be precise, and I set the standard for all Dark Lords after me.Evil Sounds Deep: When I was Mathias, it was more of a deep baritone. Nowadays, it's as what one would expect.Faith\u2013Heel Turn: God took away what I loved the most in the form of my first wife.So I turned myback on Him.Final Boss: Honestly, it would be easier to count the times I'mnotthis.Foil: To Leon Belmont and his descendants. Leon lost his betrothed, yet refused to join me. The people and the Church shun them, yet they continue to defend those who fear them.Freudian Excuse:Can you really fault me for being what I am? I lost two wives due in part to mankind and their religion, the first to illness while I was away fighting the Church's enemies, and the second when she was accused of being a witch.Genre Blind: (sigh) I admit that I have placed my hopes on the Belmont clan dying out over the years., or letting the Church do that job for me. I knew I should have killed Trevor when he was a child...A Glass Of Blood: You can find me relaxing with a goblet of blood if you come storming into my throne room looking for a fight. Once I finish off my drink, I toss the goblet to the ground and rise to the challenge.Good Hair, Evil Hair: I prefer it slicked back. But I can get away with itbeing messyon occasion.Hijacked By Dracula: It happens, with the most famous example beingmy reunion with Adrian.Hoist by His Own Petard:I underestimated Leon's resolve. I should have killed him myself when he refused my offer of eternal life. Now I find out that cursed whip the Belmonts used is partially my fault that it was made.That pawn Barlowe probably had enough time to tune Dominus to be as dangerous to me as it was to the seal that kept me locked up. I should have taken him and his, to paraphrase, \"stupid disciples\" more seriously.Humans Are the Real Monsters: Just look what they did to my second wife! Lisa was no witch! She was a woman of medicine, who healed the sick!Hypocrite: People tend to call me out on this flaw, even more so than my son. Humans cause nothing but death and destruction... and here I am, doing exactly the same. Damn it, Adrian...Ignored Epiphany: Even after Adrian relayed Lisa's words to me... I just couldn't let go of my hatred. It would consume me completely until my final defeat.Kill It with Fire:Two techniques of which are considered to be my signature attacks:Hellfire, which is my triple fireball attack, andDark Inferno, where I fling two small meteors at the opponent. And there is my ultimate technique, theHoly Megiddo, in which I bathe the opponent in holy flames.Killed Off for Real: After nearly a millennium living as a vampire, I finally met my end at the hands of Julius Belmont during the Demon Castle War. It would not be the end, as I would be reincarnated as Soma Cruz.Large Ham: (laughs) Sometimes, it's the little things that counts.

Lisa thought they looked rather cute.Rage Against the Heavens: My reasoning in becoming a vampire. If limited life is God's decree, then I shall defy it.

And quite possibly, Mina Hakuba being the reincarnation of the first two alongside my own reincarnation as Soma Cruz.Slouch of Villainy: Immortality can be boring. Which is why I'm usually slouched on my throne whenever a Belmont or my son shows up to challenge me.Tall, Dark, and Handsome: It was how I was able to woo both Elizabetha and Lisa in the first place.Teleport Spam: Be it in a pillar of light oras a flock of bats.I follow throughwith either Inferno or Hellfire.This Cannot Be!: Many a time when beaten in battle.True Final Boss: In some games, I am this.Vampires Are Sex Gods: Be that as it may, I am a one woman vampire.

Accept no substitutes (except theJapanese voice, which while the voice actor remains unknown, I still sound uber sexy in Japanese)!Welcome to theDravenTropes!Hey, did you know that game named 'League of Legends'? About a highly competitiveMultiplayer Online Battle Arenawhere a team of five champions from the realm named Runeterra facing off five champions from the same realm, fighting until the enemy base is crushed?Well, forget about all those world, and let's admire this guy for a bit...Yeep, me! Draven! Best champion from Runeterra there is. I got the looks, I got the style, I got the moves, I got the perfection, I got the mean axes for spectacular pain to serve, and I don't do subtle. Y'know, I'm starting to wonder why that game isn't called 'League of Draven' because obviously Draven makes all the awesome show there.So yeah, Draven used to be a poor kid, yes, there were such times for Draven, someone gotta start small before they go big after all. Anyway, poor kid with an equally poor big bro Darius, we kinda fought our ways in the hard streets of Noxus, until this Grand Birdie General, Jericho Swain, took notice of our fighting styles and drafted us to the Noxus army. And yeah, we were awesome back then!But Darius, being such aboringbig bro, thinks that being all stiff and following orders are enough. No, Draven wants more, man, Draven wants the cheer, the awesome chants of his name, now that's glorious! Army obviously ain't for Draven, so Draven started scouting some other job that lets his talent of killing shine on while getting treated like a celebrity, cheered by everyone. Hard to find a job like that, but what's this? A dull job like an executioner? Making something dull into something awesome... well, that looked like a job for Draven!So on the first day job of Draven, it was boring like usual, the crowd was gettin' sleepy, thinkin' that it's just gonna be some plain ol' boring behead the prisoner, done. So I decided to give'em some Draven. I told the prisoner like this, \"Hey you, run off to that exit door. Do it, then you're a free man!\" So the prisoner did run, and the crowd started to put their attention there. Maybe they think they'll just accuse me as the traitor, but I changed their mind that just when they're near the exit, one perfect axe throw and then SMACK! Dead prisoner.It was such an awesome show that the crowd went from being bored to death to cheering of such an awesome display. So contractors started going like \"Hey, Draven, help me pull the execution of this guy. It'll be great!\" And the more executions I did, the more elaborate gauntlet I made for the prisoners, and I always get my mark, and thus Draven has successfully turned a boring execution event to a grand circus, Draven is now the Glorious Executioner!But maybe executing weak prisoners won't be much of a challenge these days. So when there's this 'Field of Justice' and 'League of Legends' thingy, I think it's about time I expand this show of mine, I'm gonna show my boring militaristic bro that this is what being awesome means!So for you players out there, don't worry. Draven has always been a top tier, fun ADC, dedicated to kill and kill more enemy champions and get more powerful and adored because of that. As a bonus, Draven's got some fun mini game for you, if Draven attacks while his axe is spinning, the axe bounces, and if you make me catch it, the axe spins again. Fun mini game, beneficial for good attack steroid,kinda hard but worth mastering for, well what more can ya ask? Pick Draven as your main ADC, now!Let's admire Draven's Tropes for a bit!Developer's Foresight: Did you know that Draven can catch enemy's Draven axe? Comes with Draven's own magnificent voice too! Oh, here's one... YOINK!Difficult, but Awesome: Kid, here's some advice from Draven. When you're playin' my mini game, ya better watch your timing, because Draven does not approve getting killed off just to keep catching the axes. If yer in a team fight, don't force yourself on it! But of course, if you're a pro like Draven, ya probably can pull it off.Expy: So those losers from Runeterra often compare each other with their rival place,whatever that place Ancients lie (eh, doesn't have Draven in it, can't help it not to remember the name!).And Draven often got compared with this certain... Troll Warlord? Axe throwing carry who is so self-important personality-wise? Eh, it works, even if he can switch melee like that hammer dude from Piltover.But Draven's more epic, showy and handsome than that troll, definitely!Huh, some Draven wannabe throwing his axe? I'll just cat\u2014 huh, that's not\u2014AAUGH! MY EYE!noteTroll Warlord: Ya wanna repeat that 'more epic, showy, handsome' again, pathetic weakling!?D-Draven Tropes is having some difficulties, we'll be back for awhile!The Fighting Narcissist: Draven kicks ass, Draven is awesome, and there's only one friend worthy of him: Draaaaven!Hope Spot: Draven's favorite, and what makes the Draven show so cheered. Tell prisoners to run for dear life and get pardoned, then when they're really near the reach... SPLAT! Also check out Draven's ult, Whirling Death. Enemy got away and think they can escape with their return spell? Not if Draven throws his axes to a buzzsaw that travels all the way across the map and slice them to death! ... As long as no other schmuckget in the way.It's All About Me: Eh, enough about those losers in Runeterra. You all know that you want some Draven.Large Ham: Because Draven does it all, withstyle!... Wait, that's not the most famous I got. Lemme try again... ahem...\"Not Draven!Draaaaaaven!\"Magikarp Power: League of Draven! Catch axes, kill minions, and Draven gets awesome adoration points, and if Draven kills, the adoration points get converted to extra gold! So kill more as Draven, and Draven gets mega powerful!And no sharing!Popularity Power: Draven's so popular he won theGame FAQScontest one day! Eeh, who's thatSolid Snakeguy again?Cardboard box appears behind DravenHuh,I could ask the same thing.Rated M for Manly: Ooh yes, Draven isdefinitelythe manliest champion there is, look at those damages, look at these muscles! Not even that Braum hold a candle on Draaaven!Self-Made Man: All this glory of awesome executioner, Draven made this up by himself from scratch!Showy Invincible Hero: I'm a very showy, but in regards on invincibility... well Troper, if Draven is not invincible, that's because you can't handle Draven.Sibling Yin-Yang: Like I said, my bro Darius is such a bore... Unlike me! Draven is flashy and awesome!Third-Person Person: While I do use singular pronoun at times, sometimes it's way more epic if Draven refers himself as such!Throwing Your Axes Always Works: When Draven throws his axes, it's always gonna hurt! Unless Draven got... blinded. Ugh, I hate that status effect... Oh yeah, skill shot axe throwing might not always work, if the players just can't handle Draven's awesome skills. I'm generous, I don't blame ya for sucking. Draven's just too much.Trade Your Passion for Glory: Draven doesn't like this trope, Draven defies this! See, Draven could have been this had Draven be more like big bro Darius, but as I found out... army stuffs areboringeven with Noxus' worship about strength. No cheers, no adoration, that doesn't strike Draven's passion! Now, being a showy executioner's, fulfilling my passion while getting my own brand of glory... now that's more Draven! Moral of the story, kids, don't sacrifice your passion for glory,get and keep both. Like Draven!Weapon Twirling: When Draven does it, this means trouble. So either you run... or you take part in the Draven show: Getting an extra powerful axe thrown to your face!(Cue a 'Yaay!' sound because Draven just finished his article and consumed his adoration points!)Draven's making an exit!"} {"text": "Nobody steals our chicks... and lives!\u2014Me, before I go kicking alien ass.Hail to the king, baby!My name is Duke Nukem, savior of babes all over the world and ass kicker of aliens trying to take over Earth. I started my days of coolnessall the way back in 1991, saving the world from that bastard Dr. Proton. I would make a even bigger name for myself oncethose aliens bastards took over Los Angeles, mutated the LAPD into pig cops, and shot up my ride, and I've been kicking even more ass ever since!Things wenta little quiet after saving LA, besidesthat one adventure I did in New York City. Thankfully, I got back into action in2011, once again taking on those alien bastards in Las Vegas. It was a cool and fun experience, but apparentlyaccording to some of my fans, I didn't do so hot that time. I pleased some of my amazing fans when Dr. Proton came back, but only so much.Oh, and Ihad that one weird hangover where I was kicking evil military ass and everyone was calling me Grayson. Not sure how that happened.It's time to list tropes and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum...Action Hero: I embody most action heroes from 80s and 90s films, and damn, I do a great job actually being a action hero when I'm kicking ass.Art Evolution: Before3D, I had a different look,which was quite embarrassing with the pink shirt and not having my awesome shades\u25ca.Berserk Button:Do not EVERharm any chicks around me! I made sure those alien goons suffered for hurting my babes!Bond One-Liner: I occasionally drop a few when I'm done killing a enemy. Some taken from movies, some I made myself.Charles Atlas Superpower: I can bench press 600 pounds at my gym! Anything less is not heavy enough, and even the strongest men that aren't me can do that.Chivalrous Pervert: I do like my babes, but I make sure they're safe and away from harm whenever the aliens are around.Cigar Chomper: I do like myself a good cigar. Too bad Europe took it away from me on the European cover art forDuke Nukem Forever.Now I look pissed over nothing.Cool Shades: Never seen without them ever since3D.Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: Whenever one of those alien bastards happen to cross me, my promises of retribution tend to be quite creative, and you'd better believe that Iwillfollow through on it. If I tell you that I'm going to rip off your head and shit down your neck, Iamgoing to do it and nothing can stop me.Everyone Has Standards: I'll admit, I'm not the most politically correct person and some call my behavior towards women problematic, but that's where I limit my politically incorrect behavior. I once warned people about some people on UseNet who tend to be racist, gay bashers and neo-nazis.Hell, I ain\u2019t sexist. Just that my excessive forwardness towards women makes it easy to mistake me as a sexist. Guess even the King has flaws.Experienced Protagonist: Even before3Dand before my very first adventure, I was already the secret weapon for the CIA.Hyperspace Arsenal: I could carry a ton of weapons in3D...and then they only let me carry two gunsinForever. Thankfully for the PC version, they added a option where I could carry four guns.Living Legend: Thanks to my heroics during the alien invasion of LA, I've become a worldwide icon and loved by all. All the babes want me and someone even named their daughter Dukette!Narcissist: Of course I'm a narcissist. I wrote a book about why I'm so great, I often brag about how awesome I am during my adventures, and I don't have a life bar. I have aegobar!Not Hyperbole: I once threatened to rip a giant alien's head off and shit down his neck.And I made sure to follow through with that once he was dead.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I can be quite rude and as much as I hate to admit it I can be a little too forward with women, but I will make sure humanity doesn't get its ass kicked by aliens or Dr. Proton, and I will make sure that the babes are safe at all costs.One-Man Army: I don't need the EDF to assist me when aliens take over, even though they're helpful. I can kick ass on my own.Out-of-Character Moment: As awesome as I am,I'll admit, the joke I made at the Holsom Twins' expense before they died was tasteless and not like me at all. I can be a dick, but I would normallynevertreat women like that.Powered Armor:No thanks. Power armor is for pussies!Rated M for Manly: Can't get any manlier! Even ifpre-3D me\u25cadoesn't look so!Self-Deprecation: Despite my amazing ego, I like to make fun of myself given how longForevertook to get made and released. After 12 fucking years, it should be good!Sore Loser: I get pretty damn pissed whenever I fuck up at pool. That damn white ball...Took a Level in Jerkass: Some of my fans weren't happy with my ego getting bigger inForever.

some caption text
(For the full effect, read in the voice ofRoger Craig Smith. Seeherefor his character page.)Buongiorno, tropers. And welcome to my humble self-demonstrating page. Please, allow me to introduce myself.I am Ezio Auditore, son of Giovanni Auditore, husband of Sofia, father of Flavia and Marcello Auditore, and Master Assassino. I was born in the city ofFirenzein 1459, and was a fighter from that very day (or so my father told me). I led a comfortable life back then. My interests were mainly in, shall we say,the study of the female form. And I was quite studious in that regard. Alas, that life was brought to a halt when my father, and both of my brothers were arrested and executed for treason. From there, I discovered that my father was a member of a top secret organization known as \"The Assassins\". After fleeing Firenze with my mother Maria and my sister Claudia to go and live with my Uncle Mario, I decided to don my father's Assassins robes and avenge his death.From there, I learned many things about the ways of the Assassin. After avenging my familia's death, I went on to halt a conspiracy by the Pazzi familia against the Medicis, as well as end the lives of many members of the order the Assassins oppose: the Templars. In my journeys, I came upon an artifact of unimaginable power: The Apple Of Eden. With it, I can bring down whole armies of men without lifting a finger. But I also learned many truths about humanity, where we came from and who we are. I have also accomplished much for our order. I brought down the Borgia Familia, rescuedLeonardo da Vinci, fought in the Bonfire Of The Vanities, and hunted for the Masyaf Keys to gain access to the vault of Altair Ibn La Ahad.After leaving the life of an Assassin behind, I settled down with my wife, Sofia Sartor, in a small villa near my home city of Firenze. I had two children with her, my daughter Flavia, and my son Marcello. I lived a mostly quiet life, until I was approached by an Assassin from the Order in China named Shao Jun. She told me that she sought my guidance to help unite the Assassins of China. I was reluctant to at first, having retired by the Assassin's lifestyle. However, Jun was determined to learn my ways, so I relented. She learned many things from me, in combat and stealth, but also of the importance of love within the order. She soon left for her homeland to spread my teachings and help the Chinese Assassins flourish. My life's work accomplished, I then had a sit down, and died.These are the tropes that I feel best describe me:The Ace: Si, troper. I am considered a legend among the Assassins for my accomplishments. I can only imagine how the Templars regard me.Arch-Enemy: ThatbastardoBorgia family were this to me in my lifetime, though Rodrigo and Cesare are likely the prominent examples.Been There, Shaped History: Let's see. I liberated Roma from the Borgia, I helped stop the Pazzi conspiracy and personally hung Francesco's body from the Palazzo de Signoria, I helpedChristopher Columbusensure a journey to the new world, helped bring down Prince Ahmet in Constantinople, and was involved in basically every event fromThe Italian Renaissance. Oh yes, I was also involved with no less than three Popes. It was also my privilege to be close friends with themagnificoLeonardo da Vinci, as well as an acquaintance of Niccolo Machiavelli. Si, they were great men indeed.Big Brother Instinct: If you value your continued existence,do not break my sister's heart. Just ask Duccio if you don't believe me.Call to Agriculture: In my later years, after leaving the life of an Assassin behind, I decided to move to a vineyard with Sofia and my children.The Charmer: Si. The ladies can certainly attest to that.Due to the Dead: I may be an Assassin, but every target I kill should still get a proper sendoff.The Dutiful Son: Nothing means more to me than family. I will do anything for my mother and my sister, and will not tolerate anyone bringing them harm.Happily Married: I consider the happiest days of my life to be with Sofia.Heartbroken Badass: WhenCristina diedin the Bonfire Of The Vanities, something within me withered.Sofiawas the balm I needed for that.The Mentor: I have trained and mentored many an assassin in my time, helping to build up the orders of Roma and Constantinople. My last student was Shao Jun. I can only hope my teachings helped her rebuild the Assassins of China.Nice Guy: A man with no love in his heart has no right to bare the rank of assassin,mio amico.Old Master: I taught Yusuf when I was in my fifties, and Shao Jun when I was 65.Rambunctious Italian: In my younger days, I was quite the hot-blooded young man. Age doused that fire, however.Really Gets Around: In my youth, I must have slept with every woman in Firenze who was not related to me.Silver Fox: What can I say? We Auditores age like fine wine."} {"text": "Midnight Phantasmagoria!(This page is best read in the voices ofBrittany CoxandBen Pronsky.)So, the digital plane known as TVTropes has deemed it fit to grant me,Fischl, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, her own domain within its reaches? Hmhmhm... It is always pleasing for my noble blood to be recognized.What Mein Fr\u00e4ulein means is that she thanks you for giving her her own page on this website.Oz! *ahem* This realm is paltry compared to mein own universe, but... Any place willing to chronicle the Sovereign of Immernachtreich's deeds is worthy of being immortalized in her eternal memory. So enigmatic am I that only through the most advanced technology can your mortal eyes bear witness to my travels. You have the gall to use mystifying machines to control me? You are bold indeed, troper.Mein Fr\u00e4ulein is a playable character in the open-world gacha game,Genshin Impact, where the player is able to summon her to assist them in battle by wishing upon the stars in Teyvat's sky. Her skillset revolves around summoning me to the battlefield so my divine bolts may smite our opposition.And is this \"player\" not the most fortunate to be able to call upon my aid? Compared to the eons I have persisted through, the time I spend assisting you is akin to grains of sand in an eternal desert.When you are not doing work for the Adventurer's Guild, of course.That... is just one of my many royal engagements.But of course, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein.noteJust so we are clear, troper, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein is not actually a divine being from another universe.

Yet a few records of it still exist outside of the digital plane I punish sinners from within. What was it they called me again...?Amy, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein?Aaaah! D-Do not speak it outloud!Beleaguered Assistant:Mein Fr\u00e4ulein is my one and only mistress, but it can be quite taxing keeping her focused on the tasks at hand. It also falls upon me to simplify her words to those who fail to comprehend.Bookworm:Mein Fr\u00e4ulein commonly reads a lot of fairy tale novels in her free time. Her favorite, Flowers for Princess Fischl, is where she got my name, 'Oz'.Bunny-Ears Lawyer:Though many have the audacity to question her abilities, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein is among the Adventurer's Guild's most competent investigators.Their blasphemy is a sin, but a forgivable one, for few mortals CAN comprehend my otherworldly power.Friendless Background:Before she met me, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein developed a borderline obsession with fantasy novels due to her parents travelling a lot. However, the other children of Mondstadt found such behavior bizarre and were cruel towards her. Her father telling her to abandon her delusionsnearly pushed her mortal coil to its limit. Bless Lord Barbatos that I came to her side when I did.Oz? What are you talking to them about?Nothing of import, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein, how goes your investigations?Glass Cannon:My magic arrow fells even the most tremendous beast as if it were a mere dust mite.Quite so, Mein Fr\u00e4ulein, but your current mortal frame cannot withstand even a fraction of the punishment it was once able to, can it?An unfortunate truth, which is why I use my chosen tool of retribution, the bow, to minimize such insubordination from the sinners that prey upon us.No Social Skills:...Hmph. The simple-minded mortals of Teyvat simply cannot understand one such as I with any fiber of their being.It does not bother me one bit.I thank you for welcoming Mein Fr\u00e4ulein's companionship, regardless.Psychic Link:Mein Fr\u00e4ulein can see through my eyes as if they were her own.Indeed! And can we not, in battle, fuse body and soul to bathe our enemies in divine lightning?That we can.Ship Tease:Mein Fr\u00e4ulein is unaccustomed to anyone that accepts her without question, ergo as you build your friendship level with her, she has a hard time maintaining her persona as the Prinzessin der Verurteilung around the Tra-Oz! Do not speak of mortal affairs with such nonchalance!Trapped in Another World:For too long I have been separated from my home reality, confined to the world of Teyvat in this mortal shell....Not really. Please play along with it for Mein Fr\u00e4ulein's sake.Fischl's father:Amy, it's time for dinner!\"Fischl\":O-Okay, Dad! I'll be there in a minute... Wait, who is thisAmyyou speak of? I am the Prinzessin der Verurteilung!"} {"text": "Who, me? Why, I'm your best friend!For best effect, read this in a voice similar toAlex Rybitski.Howdy! My name is Flowey!Flowey the Flower! Nice to meet'cha! It's not every day we get visitors from the surface around here! And it's about time I finally got a page all for myself! If you're going to stick around, I'd be happy to be a new friend to you! Becauseyou won't be leaving this page without reading it, right?Hmmm? What do you mean my face got all freaky for a second? Oh, you must mean myfunny faces! Anyway, I'm here to guide you through my little tale of what I've been through and outline just who I am! But first, how about you and I have a little bit of fun first? If you want to know more about me, go ahead and click onthis link! I promise that it'll be a lot of fun!...No? You avoided that link? ...Well then, how about taking a peek atthis one?It's sure to give you plenty of sweet dreams!...Are you kidding me?! Are you dense? Deaf? Just plain stupid?!CLICK. ON.THIS.LINK!...You're not falling for any of that, are you? You knowexactlywho I am and what I entail, don't you? You're doing this just to toy with me and make me suffer, is that it? In that case...DIE.And there's no Toriel to save you this time, kiddo! Toodle-loo!...Although, that would be a little bittooeasy. You know how I operate, and even if I were to kill you here, you'd just come back as always to read the article. The power of DETERMINATION isn't an exclusive concept to the world I come from, after all.Anyway, since I assume you're familiar with who I am \u2014 thatisthe reason you're reading this, right? \u2014 let me start at the beginning. I am but a simple flower who greets any humans who enter the underground, where the monsters all live! They've been trapped down here for years, and they're hoping to get out from underneath the mountain one of these days! ...At least, that's only what's on the surface level of this little tale of woe. The truth is, quite naturally, much,muchmore complicated than you can ever imagine. So, let me start at thetruebeginning of where I come from and what lead me to this state you're seeing me in. This is also a massive spoiler warning if you have yet to playmy home game, so if you're still willing to read beyond this point, then it's your loss, bucko!Anyway, who am I, really? Well, it was a little fuzzy at first, but thanks to that nerdy scientist's old VCR tapes, I've caught myself back up to speed. I amthe crown prince of the royal Dreemur family, Asriel, born to Toriel, formerly the queen, and Asgore, the still reigning king. When I said I was \"the prince of this world's future,\" that wasn't just me being boastful; I literally am a prince by blood. I lived a pretty happy childhood and was loved by many for my kind and helpful personality. Good luck finding either of those qualities in me now, though; they ain't there.Things took a turn for the interesting when a human fell down from the surface.Ha ha, no, not that one.No, I mean the very first human who fell down. The one you all have taken to calling \"Chara\"...even though I don't think they ever really told me their name. In any case, despite being wildly different species, my mom and pop took them in and treated them like they were a part of the family. We gave them everything, love, care, attention, food, a roof over their head, a family...it became a home away from home for them. And what fun we had! Drawing pictures, eating Mom's pies, pranking Dad with the buttercups...it was a lot of fun. Then they ate some buttercups themself and it stopped being fun.From there,I ended up absorbing my friend's soul after they passed on and became a being far more powerful than anyone could've ever imagined. I crossed the barrier and walked toward the village where my friend had lived, carrying their body the whole way there. When I arrived, I was met with a higher level of LOVE than I expected and found myself getting attacked from all sides. And you know what I did? I allowed them to attack me and retreated with a smile on my face and too many wounds to count....What? Did youreallyexpect me to go whole hog on everyone out of vengeance? That wasbeforeI died and became this. Yeah, yeah, hold your Gyftrots! I'm getting to that part! To make a long story short, I died that night and was little more than the soul of a boss monster. The entire kingdom went into abitof an uproar and Dad was mighty angry, enacting the policy that any and all humans who fell down were to be killed, and their souls brought before him; the key to breaking that barrier was to collect seven of them.At some point during this mess,my soul got caught up in Dr. Alphys' experiements; more specifically, an experiment meant to discover what would happen if an everyday object were given a soul. Heh, the look on her face when she realized I had escaped that junk heap of a laboratory... But, am I here to gloat about ducking out of sight of a nerd or recounting my tale?Anyway, the years passed. More humans fell down underneath Mt. Ebott, each one more determined and capable than the last. More souls were gathered. Tensions flared up. The monsters got restless. And here I was,trying to feel something - anything - for my parents, for the population of monsters, foranyone. But I couldn't feel anything. Even after I discovered how to SAVE and LOAD from a previous point in time, any effort to give myself emotions ended in failure. Even trying to save all the monsters did absolutely nothing for me. And at some point, I gave up trying to be nice. The isolation I felt... It wasmaddening.Soon, Asgore had six of the seven souls he needed. All he needed was one more. And as fate would have it, that one kid came along... Frisk, I think their name was. From the moment they fell down, I knew they were the one. The one to break the barrier, the one to save all of monsterkind...or destroy it. The one who would be my pawn in this grand game of mine. What happened next...was up toyou. You had full reign of their actions and how they handled battles. Sometimes they'd save everyone like your garden variety hero. Sometimes they'd kill everybody and destroy the world. Sometimes they\u2019d straddle the line between the two.Regardless of how things played out, you'd be hard-pressed to find a scenario where I'mnotinvolved in some way. Because I'll be here forever. And don't eventhinkof editing this page to get rid of me, because I willalwayscome back!Now that that's all out of the way, feel free to traipse around this little cavern here. ...Seriously, that's all I have to say. There's noEaster Eggorany little touches to make me react to your lingering presence.This page isn't complex enough for that.Some of the tropes that little ol' me embodies:Alas, Poor Villain: Oh, please! Who are you to pity someone like me? Don't you get it? I'm amonster.Admittedly, considering who Ireallyam, I guess that there's more than enough reason for all of you to pity me. I can't say I can fathomwhy, though.Allergic to Routine:I alone have to power to SAVE, LOAD and RESET \u2014 I use this to save everyone, to kill everyone, to explore every action and reaction I can... until there was nothing left to do. It's only after you fell down into the underground did I finally have something new to occupy my time with.Already Done for You: I don't want to leave my only friend to have to do those stupid skeleton puzzles.And I Must Scream:Kinda goes both ways; my ability to SAVE and LOAD prevents me from dying and I'm just as capable of saving over your death and making yousufferover and over andoveragain. And, uh, to tell you the truth, being a flower that can't feel anything and can't really die is...not exactly an ideal fate either. Don't tell anyone I said that or else I'll SAVE overyourdeath.Ain't Too Proud to Beg:Oh, please, like there's many moments where I beg for my life or any situation where I'm at a disadvantage; in fact, Ilivefor faking people out withfalse pain..That's actually a lie; trying to bargain with Chara is where I finally crack and show my true face in a last-ditch effort to get them to spare me.Didn't quite work out so hot for me in the end.Art Shift:Nobody really expects what I look like with six of the seven souls absorbed. It's always a treat to see everyone's utter horror at my new look!Back from the Dead:You're not the only one who can SAVE and LOAD, y'know. Oh man, I wish I could've seen the looks on everyone's faces when they found out I was still alive on a repeat playthrough! Well, at least the faces of those who decided to kill me, anyway.The Bad Guy Wins: I've had a few runs end in my favor. Hey, it gets boring saving everyone after a while!Too bad all of my attempted Genocide runs have failed thanks to a certain joke-loving skeleton...Bad Liar: Okay, fine, so I'm not the best deceiver on the face of the planet. But I hardly need to lie when I've got power beyond compare! ...And thankfully, Papyrus \u2014 bless that naive moron and his far too big and soft heart \u2014 always believes me, and that is often enough to make my plans work.Big Bad: Not many would expect a cute little flower like yours truly to be the villain of a game where nobody has to die...but here I am at the top of the food chain! And I make no bones (ugh, I can hearthat stupid skeletonchuckling at that pun...) about hiding that fact!Catchphrase: I've got a few of them, such as \"In this world, it's kill or be killed!\", \"Don't you have anything better to do?\", \"Howdy!\" and of course, my personal favorite of the lot, \"You idiot!\"Defiant to the End: You think I'll succumb to you after being beaten? Then go ahead, prove that you have the will to kill. Unleash all of your hatred on me when I'm at my weakest. See if you feel good about it afterward.Loathe as I am to admit it, I'm not as defiant in the face of being killed by my best friend...but can you really blame me in that case?Didn't Think This Through:Goading Chara into killing everyone in the undergroundreallycould have used a failsafe, now that I think about it...Driven to Suicide: Until I wondered what would happen to something without a soul after death.Eldritch Abomination:My Photoshop Flowey form is quite the extreme makeover, wouldn't you agree? ...What evenisPhotoshop, anyway?Enfant Terrible: What? No!!! I'm not a kid! I'm the GOD of this world and THAT'S why you should play with me!Even Evil Has Loved Ones:Alright, I'll bite; I might haveateensylongingto see my old pal Chara again. ...And I suppose I should be sad about my parents, but it's hard to really care about them when you don't have a soul to bother with pesky empathy for your folks.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: I just don't understand some people wanting to be so kind to everyone. Heck, why would people want to go out of their way to spareme, of all monsters?!Evil Is Petty: I'll go to just about any lengths to get you all riled up. It's quite fun to make people angry; you should try it sometime!Fallen Hero:And to think, I actually started out HELPING people. Of course, now I know better.False Friend: I may look like I'm out to be all buddy-buddy with whoever strikes my fancy, but I'll gladly take whatever opportunity presents itself to use them as a stepping stone to my own ends. Take that Papyrus fella for instance; boy, is that guy ever far too trusting for his own good.Flower Motif/Foul Flower:Took you all of five minutes to figure out that one, eh?The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Heh heh, betcha thought my power only extended to the game I come from, huh? Well, don't mind me,I can see you just fine on the other side of the screen as you read my article.And I don't stop atyourFourth Wall either. Believe me, I do have more than a few choice words for those patheticsickosout there who doesn't have the guts to get their hands dirty themselves, but would rather leave it to someone else kill everyone so they can watch a video about it afterwards.Giver of Lame Names: Yes, my name is Flowey the Flower.Seriously, what do you expect? I come from a father whose naming sense is legendary across the underground for being absolutely terrible. Of course I'd end up picking up his habits.\"Groundhog Day\" Loop: Why, my superpower is basically to invoke this at will. Or, well, it was. Then you came and wrestled it from me somehow. But, to be frank, as far as powers goes, it was bit overrated. Seeing everyone going through the same motions, over and over again, be it praising you for your heroic deeds, or gibbing in helpless terror, pleading for mercy as you tore them limb from limb, got boring after awhile. Still, I'm actually quite angry that you took that from me. No matter how you look at it, in the end, you still took something that belonged tome. But I'm going to get it back, and once I do...Oooh, boy... I got so many wonderful ideas, I can almost feel the sensation of pleasure again, just thinking about it... And it involves you dying over and over again.A God Am I: Don't you just love having a whole world to control at your every whim? I know I sure do!Immortality Immorality: Spare everyone? Kill everyone? Doesn't matter much to me; just as long as it provides some kind of entertainment to me. And even if I kill them, I always bring them back and they'll be none the wiser.Interface Screw:I can terminate and/or restart the game, wreck the save point menu, completely change the game's rules... Whatcan'tI do?It's All About Me: I don't really care about being charitable toward anyone else or bothering myself with the problems of others; in the end, all that really matters to me is myself and whatever I've got in store for this world.Lack of Empathy: Hey, who needs love when you can have LOVE instead?That's what having your soul injected into an object not meant to have a soul does to you.Mid-Suicide Regret: As I was leaving the mortal coil after I followed Chara's steps, I began to wonder what would happen to a soulless creature like me. Afraid of being dead permanently, I began to show regret... Then I woke up in the garden again, like it was a bad dream.Safety in Indifference: The more friends you make, the more you have to lose. So I really don't bother trying to make any new friends.The Soulless: I've got plenty of Determination and all of my memories, but I don't have a soul or any compassion for anything around me. Comes with the territory.Stop Poking Me!: Oh, Iseewhat you're doing there. You think it'spretty funnyto play my sequences over and over again, to see if I might have something new to say if you do some stuff differently, is that it, huh? Well, okay, I suppose I can't blame yatoomuch for that, I admittedly did that stuff too back when I had the SAVE/LOAD powers too. But listen. Friend. It just becomes annoyingsoquickly, so if I catch you wasting my time by doing it, I might just decide that you don'tdeserveany unique responses. I mean, don't you have anythingbetterto do?Story-Breaker Power: Being able to SAVE and LOAD at will is a very useful boon; with it, I'm practically unstoppable!Really, anybody is invincible with a power like that, including you. Speaking of which...give me back my power right now.Stunned Silence:It takes a lot to silence me, but being spared is enough to give me pause.Time Master: But of course. I can die horribly in one timeline and just pop back into place a few minutes prior no worse for wear!This Cannot Be!: Iloveto fake people out by saying things like this. All the better to catch you off-guard with!That said, losing control of the souls genuinely made me lose my cool.Treacherous Advisor: What? Little old me? Treacherous? Come on, can't you trust this friendly face of mine?It's not as if I'm asking you to fly into my bull-- er, I mean, 'friendliness pellets' or anything...Unknown Rival: Ooo, Ireallyhates that Sans guy. He might not be able to remember it, but his interference has resulted in more resets than I care to remember. I have since learned to be careful to avoid attracting his attention or even making him aware of my existence, lest he shows up and decides to ruin my fun. (Heh... Come to think of it, I suppose that's what you losers on this here site there would call \"invoking\" the trope?) What can I say? For a fat, lazy bastard, he is surprisingly strong and tenacious. And he absolutely refuses to fight fair... That'smytrick, dammit!Who Wants to Live Forever?: I do!...Honestly, though, immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be.Wishful Projection:What do you want from me? They have a bizarrely similar fashion sense! Sue me!Your Soul Is Mine!:I was so close to having all seven!Don't you have anything better to do?FeedbackVideo Example(s):Something primal burned insideFlowey explains to the player that he became despotent due to being an emotionless Flower and attempted to kill himself, much like Chara did. However, he began to thought what would happen to an souless being like him, making him change his mind and accidentally loading a \"Safe file\", respawning in the royal garden again.Example of:Mid-Suicide RegretSparing Flowey ...The human souls..."} {"text": "Please accent the words by syllable, not between them.Image selected per Image Pickin' thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1300873443013246300Please do not change or remove without starting a new thread.Helloagain.

An intruder?! In my lair? Is it that accursed bird and bear? You're not the one known as Banjo or Kazooie? You should've said so! Ah phooey! You wanted to know about little ol' me? Then I shall enlighten you, how generous I can be!I am Gruntilda, Gruntilda the witch! A name so wicked, you can't help but twitch! I am theBig Badof the bear and bird's stupid game. \"Banjo-Kazooie\".... ugh how lame! My evil plan came me to day. It was about my good looks, what can I say? However, I was told I wasn't the best looking. Banjo's stupid sister was, so a plan I had cooking! I wanted to steal her looks for myself, and it was a plan that didn't require stealth! I swiped up that little bear with much ease, I can then steal her beauty and do with it whatever I please! My faithful assistant Klungo was by my side, and all he needed was to pull the lever to begin the ride! My plan was nearly successful it was, but here comes the bear and bird just because! They managed to clear my Furnace Fun, I had no choice but to run, run, run! At the top of my tower our battle we had, I ended up losing! How very sad! Down from my tower I graciously fell, into the ground with a rock blocking me, oh well. I stay there for years, what a hooey. Until I made my comeback in Banjo-Tooie!Bah... for the sake of the second game, I won't be speaking in my rhymes. My sister Mingella was annoyed by how much I spoke by rhymes in the game and, frankly, I could see why. Anywho, after being trapped under that rock for a long time, said sisters Mingella and Blobbelda finally came to my rescue in what would be known as the Hag 1. I was finally free! At the cost of my body! Nothing but bones is what I was devolved into... I was so upset especially after seeing that stupid shaman Mumbo Jumbo spying on us and I decided to take matters into my own hands! I chased that skeletal freak to Banjo's house where I was prepared to kill 4 birds (one of them was an actual bird) with one stone with my most powerful blase! Unfortunately, I missed Banjo, Kazooie, and the shaman but I got that stupid mole Bottles instead! A good way to show I mean business this time! After that, I went back with my sisters on the Hag 1 (leaving Klungo behind so he can take care of the stupid bear and bird) so I came up with a much more devious plan to get back my youth! Well, I guess my sisters should be taking the credit but whatever! This device was known as the Big-O-Blaster (or B.O.B. for short) that had the power to drain the lifeforce from others and store it! I was so enthralled by the device that I decided to test it out on the person that gave that stupid bear his first Jiggly: King Jingling. His life was drained and it turn him into a zombie! Serves him right! B.O.B. was successful and I wanted to blast the entire island by my sis said it would've took a long time but I have patience so I could wait!Like with my first appearance, my role once those \"story-scripted events\" ends is shortened as I'm on the sidelines until Banjo gets enough Jiggies to access my lair. Sadly, my random rhymes are taken away but I am still the focus of the game I assure you. After Banjo and Kazooie finally make it to my lair, they must pass by my glorious Tower of Tragedy quiz! They had to play alongside my two sisters with 100 ton weights over top of them! If you have less points, you'll get crushed! Of course my intention was to get the bear and bird thinking they're too stupid to pass my quiz, but, alas, I lost my two sisters instead. Oh well. Sacrifices must be made in order to further my own goals! *laughs evilly* Anywho, like with the first game, I escaped to the top of my lair where I eventually fought the duo in my tank, the Hag 1! And Icertainly gave them a run for their money this time! Unfortunately, I was defeated yet again and I reduced to a head being kicked around... I mentioned that I'll get them back in Banjo-Thereeie but that never came to be...Ahem! Enough of all of the Banjo-Tooie times! Time for me to get by to my rhymes! My series found a new home, I supposed that rocks. On a system known as \"X-box\". Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is the name. It's certainly different from any other game. A game about racing, no platfroming at all. Our series took a hit, harder than my fall. A new character named L.O.G., such a dumb name. He purposely changed our series because he felt it was the same. He gave me robotic body instead of a new one. But promised me greatness if I won! I had a new assistant, a cat named Piddles. She's so tricky, even more than my riddles! Alas, despite my fight, I lost at the end. Forced to work in L.O.G.'s factory, I hate this trend!But years later (I'm turning up my nose), bear and bird came back home inSuper Smash Bros.! Sadly I didn't join the battle too, as THEY got in over ME \u2014 boo hoo! Bad enough I never got a number and yet they have the nerve to pick thatso-called \"witch\" from Umbra!But you can see me flying around on the Spiral Mountain stage in the background. Next time though, I'll have my lot, they MUST make me playable or we riot! Then I can stealthat princess'beauty. Come to think of it, she's prettier than Tooty!Read my tropes, if you dare! I promise that you'll be in for a scare!Ambiguously Human: Am I a human? You cannot tell. Especially my skeletal and robotic bodies, oh well.And I Must Scream: Being trapped under that boulder for two years was not fun. It wouldn't have happened if I won!Ax-Crazy: I lost my sanity after being trapped underground. I'm playing for serious this time around!Bad Boss: How dare you Klungo, lose to the bear and bird? Many beatings I've given him that he couldn't utter a word! Oh my precious sisters, they failed me as well. After losing my quiz, I crushed them, as you can tell.Badass Boast: My rhymes help making my boasts sound tough! I say them right before I get rough!Big Bad: I am the game's biggest foe. Who always faces the duo toe-to-toe!Big Eater: I planned on doing this if I could win. The prize to myself for being thin!Me: When I'm nice and slim once more, burgers, fries, and chips galore!Big, Thin, Short Trio: When with Mingy and Blobby, I'm of the Big sort, while Mingy's the Thin and Blobby's the Short!Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Brenty, Mingy, Blobby and I, our hair colors you shouldn't forget. In that order, we go blonde, redhead (twice), brunette!Bond Villain Stupidity: I was close to draining Tooty's fair, except I allowed that bear loose in my lair. If only I let that machine run, then I would've most certainly won!Brain in a Jar: ByNuts & BoltsI'd been reduced to a skull. Which would have made my boss battle dreadfully dull. At the same time the bear got his stupid car, I got a new body, controlled by my skull in a jar.Corrupt Corporate Executive: I own a number of businesses that pollute. When it comes to the environment, I just don't give a hoot! In the first game, I owned Clanker's Cavern, full of grime, where Clanker acted as my trash compactor (for a time). And the H.M.S. Rusty Bucket, a large cargo ship that made the water around it oily when it took a dip. In the second game, I owned the Witchyworld amusement park with rides so unsafe, they're sure to leave a mark! I also owned a factory named Grunty Industries. It spewed thick black smoke and toxic ooze (it tastes like mouldy cheese - yum). They all operate underNo OSHA Compliance, but why should I waste all that money on a safe appliance? Lastly, in any of these companies where my workers are employed, they will attack anyone on sight, that's how badly they're annoyed!Dark Action Girl: My magic skills are a sight to behold, I got to kill that mole I was told!Deflector Shields: I had the fight won with my impenetrable shield. So the Jinjos that the bear and bird were forced to wield.Determinator: I WILL destroy that pesky bear and bird! Even as a skeleton or head, you've heard!Dem Bones: My glorious flesh rotted away for a few years, nothing but bones as I have appear.Disney Villain Death: At the end of the first game, the Jinjonator attacked, and I fell into the ground with a massive smack! A boulder fell too, leaving me stuck. Good thing my sisters came! What luck!Embarrassing Last Name: My last name is \"Winkybunion\". People think it's a hoot. Until their butts get politely introduced to my boot!Even Evil Has Standards:That bear's love for being dirty makes me so mean! I'll make sure he gets nice and clean!Me: I can't believe you went in there, now wash your hands, filthy bear!Go ahead! Cheat! If you dare! I'll erase your game pak and you'll start back in my lair!Evil Laugh: My wonderful cackle will haunt your dreams. A Game Over you will hear this a lot, as it seems!Fairest of Them All: Indeed! I am! Or so I thought. Stealing Tooty's beauty was the first game's plot.Fat Bastard: Don't call me fat! How rude are you?! But mean I sure am, I'll admit that part's true.Final Boss: I'm always the final ultimate threat! Just come to my lair and face me, you'll regret!Fireballs: When my magic fails, I was forced to use fire. It was then I knew my situation was dire!Game Over Girl: Did you lose all your lives, you bumbling clod? Then you get to look at my new hot bod!Ghastly Ghost: InGrunty's Revenge, I became a ghost, which controlled the Mecha Grunty suit I needed the most. When Banjo destroyed it on my tower, I tried to crush him with my ghostly power. I summoned two clones to attack him, but he was too smart, and my plan, like the Mecha Grunty, all fell apart.Go-Karting with Bowser: Although you may find it quite absurd,I once raced in a plane against that bear and bird. I even had my own Grand Prix, but the best part ofBanjo-Pilotwas playing as me!Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: I'm indeed the bad witch, I love it a lot. Brentilda's the good witch... even though she'sgreen like snot!Green and Mean: I like this trope! It's rhyme is on spot. Green I am, yes, but nice I'm surely not!Green Is Gross: My skin is green, and my hobbies are gross; when it comes to bad habits, I have the most! I decorate my room with smelly socks, and wear streaky brown undies (or did they have purple spots?). Then there's my trademark party trick: Inflating balloons with my butt, doesn't it just make you sick?Homing Projectile: One of my strongest spells follows you around! Followed by a screaming, oh what a sound!Honor Before Reason: Fine. I'll admit, if you get my quiz questions right. I'll slow down my spell and hold back my might.Hot Witch: If you Game Over, you're in for a sight! A sexy Grunty sure isn't a fright!I Am Big Boned: Iambig boned, so don't call me fat! Just playTooieif you want proof of that. I was reduced to nothing but a skeletal frame, yet I'm still the same size I was in the previous game!Jerkass: I take much pleasure in being a jerk, it's my favorite form of work!Laughably Evil: How dare you think that I am funny!? It's not my fault my rhymes are so punny.Made of Iron: I fell from my tower and a rock fell on my head. If that happened to you, you'd surely be dead. But tough old Grunty didn't die that day. Instead I was trapped, and slowly rotted away.Motive Decay: I wanted Tooty's beauty, but not any more! Now I wanted to kill the bear and bird and settle the score!Multiple-Choice Past: Brentilda will tell you some facts about me, which will help you get past my quiz show, you see. But don't think you can use the same answers twice. The SADISTS at Rareware weren't nearly that nice! Because every time you start a new game, those answers will change, and won't be the same! Just likethat clownwithMark Hamill's voice,if I must have a past, make it multiple choice!Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: InGrunty's Revenge, I was a robot witch powered by a ghost. Too bad at the end of the game, my robot body was toast! Then I was a zombie witch inBanjo-Tooie, but that bear and bird reduced me to a skull. Oh, phooey! Eight years later inNuts and Bolts, I returned to get my revenge on those two dolts. L.O.G. gave me a new robot suit that I needed to give that bear and bird the boot. Those two made me real irate, so I built myself a ship designed for a pirate. That made me a pirate zombie robot witch, so it would appear. I've had quite an interesting career.Nose Nuggets: I enjoy flicking loogies, I'll gladly report. I even compete against others for sport!Our Liches Are Different: A lich you say? Interesting indeed. But I posses no undead powers, can't you read?A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Mumbo Jumbo taught me magic. Then I turned evil. Isn't that tragic? I also turned his head into a skull. I just wanted it to match his house, that's all.Rhymes on a Dime: Rhyming is my most character defining trait, too bad in the second game I had to wait. My sisters were annoyed by my constant rhymes, so I had to stop using them. Such cruel times! After crushing those two stupid dolts, I went back to rhyming in Nuts & Bolts!Robot Me:InGrunty's Revenge, Klungo made a Mecha Grunty suit, which I needed to give that bear and bird the boot, since my regular body was trapped under a rock. My ghost controlled the suit to give Banjo a shock! Alas, it was destroyed by the game's end, so on my sisters I had to depend.InNuts and Bolts, L.O.G. gave me a new robot suit I could use to give the bear and bird the boot. This one was a little less dull; it looked just like my old body and had a jar for my skull. The good news is this one wasn't destroyed. The bad news is, in L.O.G.'s factory, I'm unhappily employed.Spanner in the Works: Foolish L.O.G. you think my factory punishment was so bad? I now have the resources to make my own game, I'm so glad!The Sociopath: I care for only myself, no one else gets sympathy! The perfect trope to describe this asLack of Empathy.Terrible Trio: I formed one with Mingy and Blobby inBanjo-Tooie. They rescued me, then made me stop rhyming. Oh, phooey!Vain Sorceress: My beauty knows no bounds! It's not as crazy as it sounds!We Will Meet Again: You think I'm done? How foolish can you be?! I'll be back in the next game, just you wait and see!World's Most Beautiful Woman: Yes I am! Just look at the bad end! I'm very beautiful, and it's not for pretend!"} {"text": "C'mon.

I thought it was high time I finally decided to grace this site with my own person. Which, I gotta admit, is a pretty damn amazing thing to look at.You see, I've got a simple goal - to make Pandora a better place. Ignore those rumors about me tapping into the planet to awaken some unholy Eridian terror, those are just lies being spread by filthy bandits trying to discredit my efforts. The only reason I'm doing it is to try and find the vault in order to make sure that Pandora's safe. You know, forcivilized people. Not for those morons living in Sanctuary who prefer getting by on the skin of their teeth rather than try and join society like other normal folk would.I was gonna put up my own little backstory here, but there's, ah, not much to really talk about.

I like to think they're a hell of a lot classier than any of the guns I actually sell. When you're the head of Hyperion, you keep the best gadgets for yourself!Bad Boss: Someone's itchin' to get strangled...Benevolent Boss: That's more like it. Just askAthena, Nisha, Wilhelm, Claptra- Uh, actually you know what, just Athena. She and I had a good business relationship before I got promoted to head of Hyperion, I gotta watch after my own team after all.Beard Of GLORY!: Used to have one. Now I make do with this little staplerthingyon my mask. NowTassiter, he had aBeard of Evil. After I killed him I used it topretend I was an evil version of myself. You know, like in that old show.

Yeah.And now I have one in the form of Katagawa Jr. Nice try kid, but you made a big mistake in making a deal with bandits of whatever they're calling themselves these days.Fantastic Racism: Ifriggin' hatethose annoying Claptrap units!

Maybe...Maybe...(This page is best read in the voice of Gary Schwartz, speaking in a Russian accent.)MEET THE HEAVY*ahem*I am Heavy Weapons Guy, member ofTeam Fortress... And this... is my TVTropes page. I like to shootSasha, is all you need to know....Do you not understand? I like. To shoot. This Gun.Is all you need to know......Oh, fine. I hail from Russia, where I live in cabin with mother and my sisters Zhanna, Yana, and Bronislava. My father was counter-revolutionary, and when he was killed, me and rest of family were sent to gulag.I escape gulag with family,burn gulag to ground,then tortured gulag's guards to death. We spent time on run from government, where I took up work as mercenary. Soon found myself in Teufort where I met love of my life,Sasha. We kill many cowards together, all for good pay to protect family.After Redmond and Blutarch were killed, I got new job fighting robots. When that wasn't working, their builder, Gray Mann, found other means to take over Mann Co.. He fired me and the others, after which I returned to Russia to care for my family. When Miss Pauling come with other team members to bring me back, I did not want to. I had obligation to be there for my family. But they showed me that they could care for themselves now, did not need me watching over their shoulders anymore. Money was good and many bad guys were to die, so...HEAVY WAS BACK, BABY!Over the years, I have engaged in other endeavors beyond mercenary work. Was invited topoker tournamentonce, and teamed up with Pyro and Spy to formracing team.noteBy the way, we were hoping forlittle hedgehog's movieto break curse ofbad video game movies. Now hope came true and little Hedgehog movie became #1 at box office! And he does it again insequel!Now be careful when making third movie. I have seen popular film adaptations become hot messes when third movie arrives.But now current job is to list tropes for you.I am full of tropes, and I am coming for you!:Achilles' Heel: Sniper and Spy stupid classes that take advantage of my slow speed to take me out in one hit. Heavy won't last long in a fight if I'm not watching and listening carefully for baby enemies trying to pick me off.Berserk Button: Oh my god, who touched Sasha? Alright...WHO TOUCHED MY GUN!?Big Fancy House: Family cabin is quite nice place to live, Heavy must say. Though, I can understand why sisters take issue with itslocation.BFG: Dah, Sasha too big for itty bitty men to use!Dark and Troubled Past: Heavy does not like talking about past. Puny director poked nose in business that wasn't his and dug up my time in the gulag, andwhat I did to escape itanyway.I made it very clear to him that he should drop the subject.Difficult, but Awesome: Killing enemy team not easy job, but is why it pays so well. Heavy gives advice, awareness of your surroundings is key to playing well, otherwise cowardly Sniper or stupid Spy pick me off effortlessly. Keeping Sasha revved up all the time just makes me even slower and easier to focus down. Stay on move, and spin-up only when necessary. I retain running momentum when jumping, so leaping around corners while revving up minigun is good strategy to remain mobile while still being ready to attack.Dumb Muscle:Nyet! Heavy has PhD! Often seen as stupid because of my loose grasp on English.Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Heavy not stupid, English just not his first language. Before the incident with the gulag, I earned PhD in Russian Literature. Is more useful in line of work than one would think.Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Heavy kills many men for the sake of lining pockets, but when me and my mother and sisters are on the run from the Russian government, honest work is not possible.Everything Trying to Kill You: Tiny baby men know I will turn them inside out if ignored. Most enemies will aim at me as soon as I'm out in the open.Extreme Omnivore: Robo Sandvich and Festive Sandvich are still sandviches.Finger Gun: Do not be fooled.Heavy's fingers are weapons deadly enough toend you in one shot.I Call It \"Vera\": Sasha will always be my baby, but I do keep Natascha, Svetlana, Oksana, and Sheila around in case I need to kill babies in other ways.\"Instant Death\" Radius: If you are touching the barrel of my gun, then you are a dead man.Invulnerable Knuckles: Heavy's fists are tougher than the brass knuckles I have. My fists will crush robots just as well as the flesh and blood men I usually fight.Mighty Glacier: Minigun kills things very quickly, but well... It will be long trip to objective if Engineer doesn't put teleport up.Is most especially true when Heavy is carrying Oksana. Her damage is unmatched, but she takes long time to spin up, and Heavy moves so slowly when firing.Not That Kind of Doctor: Doctorate in Russian literature, makes me a more official doctor thanMedic.Shoot the Bullet: Giant robot Heavy will sometimes have gun that can shoot down rockets and bombs. Once I find old lady again, shewilltell me why I did not get this gun.However, if Heavy spend hard-earned money at Upgrade Station, I can also crush rockets with any of my guns.noteExcept shotguns. But why would Heavy use tiny baby shotgun?Simple, yet Awesome: Minigun not difficult to understand. Also not difficult to spill blood with.Skill Gate Character: Heavy most powerful class in game on paper. Has the most health, the deadliest weapon, and is one of the best targets for doctor's Ubercharge. And against new players, is true more often that not! But... most other classes learn crazy new tricks as players get better with them. Heavy has no such tricks to learn, so more experienced players know what to do about me, even if doctor has my back. Stupid 6s format...Only using 4 classes in a game that has 9...Squick: Atpoker tournament,Tychoappall Heavy with fantasy about giraffes.Superior Successor:Classic Heavy needed power of immortality to fight me. While he said himself he wasn't getting younger, Heavy is advancing in age also.Trademark Favorite Food: Saaaandvich! Sandvich... Is so delicious, it heals all of Heavy's wounds if eaten! Can also share with teammates too, but healing won't be as effective. They must not like sandviches the way I do.You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!:Heavy knows he promised sisters he wouldn't keep sisters locked up in cabin to do nothing but eat bear anymore, but... Seriously Zhanna,Soldier!?There. I have shown everything you need to know...hold on... WHERE IS SANDVICH? WHO TOOK SANDVICH?! Sorry. Need to get back sandvich now. Will catch up if can. WHOEVER TOOK SANDVICH, I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!"} {"text": ": We know, damn it! Gods... Where didtheyall come from?Henry: Well, see,when a mommy zombie and a daddy zombie love each other very much... Nya ha ha!\u2014 A part of Henry's recruitment conversation,Chapter 13ofFire Emblem: Awakening(note: This page is best read in eitherBryce Papenbrook's orAkemi Okamura's voice. Choose your silly voice!)Oh, hey! Who are you? You don't look like aRisen, and I'm certain I'd be fingerpainting with your blood right now if you were a bad guy... Me? I'mHenry, your happy-go-lucky Plegian Dark Mage, of course!You know, from Plegia?Home of The Mad King Gangrel?The guy that likes war and whatnot?You're killing me here,and not in the fun way, either! Anyway, what brings you here? \"TV Tropes\"? Oooh,were you hit by a curse to wander TV Tropes for the rest of your life? I love that one! I wish I could say I came up with that curse myself, nya ha ha!Well, since you're not a bad guy, I guess I could sit down and talk with you some more. Let's see... Well, when I was a boy, I'd get into all sorts of fun. Playing with ravens, skipping rocks across the lake,practising dark magic... You know, fun stuff! My parents didn't really care much for me, and it was kinda hard to make friends. I did become friends with a wolf growing up, though,and she practically took care of me more than my own mom!In fact, I grew up being friends with all sorts of animals! Yup, those were fun days... Until my wolf friend wandered into my village one day. She just wanted to visit, but she got killed by some of the men living there. It was really sad, losing her like that. Oooh boy, I made them pay... And...I got sent to awizarding school after that! I never really made friends there. It's kinda hard feeling any empathy for humans when they do all sorts of stupid stuff, you know? How am I supposed to know not to hex people to have fish eyes when they're complaining about falling asleep in class?And then there was that time with replacing the teacher's blood with fire...Whoops,I'm getting distracted! Nya ha ha, sorry about that! Anyway, time went by and I ended up joining the Plegian army for war and stuff! I think it was about assassinating the figurehead of Ylisse and expanding for the sake of the Grimleal or something...? I don't remember,I was just in it for the blood! Then one night, a buncha guys named the Shepherds were camping out when they were attacked by a bunch of Risen! I figured I might as well join them, since they look like war follows them around all the time.What's the point of war if it's you're not around long enough to enjoy it?So I asked Chrom if I can join them and, funnily enough, they accepted! What a bunch of nice folks!So yeah, here I am now, talking about my time fighting for the Shepherds and talking to a complete stranger. It's either this or flinging more curses at people, and my hex finger is tired, so I figured I'd spend my time talking with you! Aren't you glad? Heehee!I'm quite envious that Robin, Lucina, and Chrom get to be inSuper Smash Bros.. I didn't even get to be one of those disembodied spirit thingies in the fifth game!What's that? Tropes? Oh yeah, I guess you did come here for those! Let me just poof some up for you! Let's see,now where's that blue robin corpse...?Here we go! I whipped up aHEXof a lot of tropes, just for you! Get it??Affably Evil: Well, not evil per se. Just twisted. People say I am pretty friendly, though!Barbarian Hero: I can reclass myself to be a barbarian! I don't get to explode peoples' heads anymore,but then I can maim and decapitate them until the crows come home!Battle Couple: I'm able to pair up with any of the first generation women in Chrom's army. Except Anna, I guess. And Say'ri. And Tiki. And Flavia.Oh, that includes thoseEinherjarfolks, too!Birds of a Feather: Me. Tharja. End of the story! I believe she even said that we'd fit together wellbecausewe're not normal people! Isn't shehilarious, huh?Blood Knight: I love blood! Oooh, and war!Heck, I always obey orders! Well, except for the stupid ones like \"don't fight the enemy.\" If someone tried to tell me that, I'd cut'em in half and feed them to the crows!Blood Lust: Tee hee!I don't care about politics. I just want to throw fireballs at the bad guys.Blow You Away: I can use wind magic. Woosh! It's even better when Chrom lets me blow an axe right towards someone's neck!Blue-and-Orange Morality: On the one hand, I left the Grimleal to fight alongside the Shepherds. On the other hand, I'd have no problems killing everyone in the Shepherds if a girl likeTharjaasked me to. Ooh, but if I had a third hand, I'd say that I don't actually want to kill anyone in the Shepherds, since they're all so friendly! And on the potential fourth hand,should the Shepherdsbe ever hurt...Boarding School of Horrors: I was raised inWizarding Schoolso my parents wouldn't have to take care of me. Maybe that's why I loveblood and magic and blood magicso much!Body Horror: What, you don't like the idea of me getting that sixth finger?Casting a Shadow: Oh man, I love dark tomes! So many ways to split a foe's head open with these...Character Development: Yup, it's a bit surprising, but I'm notALLabout the blood and the pain on others! I like helping out my friends when they need it, to start. Pity they get scared when I offer them a chopped Risen hand... I mean, a hand! Oops.Clever Crows: I love crows and ravens! Heck, they must love me too since they used to circle around me pretty much all the time! I once saw a man turn into a raven himself, so I'm hoping that with enough study, maybe I could too. I evenoncefound a tome what allows me to summon ravens to attack!Comedic Sociopathy: Now that I think about it, I guess schadenfreude is my favourite kind of freude!Crazy Jealous Guy: ... So I really shouldn't ask my girlfriend/wife if I should hex her soshe won't look at other guys instead of me? Really? Aw....Creepy Awesome: Sometimes when i'm on the battlefield i go all \"Zap! Sizzle! DIE! AAAAAAH!\" but then you know i'm very creepy too according to some people (The tropers on this website)Creepy Cute: I'm pretty cute, i think? Those crows though. Those crows are much much much cuter than even me!Creepy Good: Don't worry, it's all with a smile!Curse: I also moonlight as a practitioner, you know!Dark Is Evil: Why do people have to go and call enjoying death a bad thing? Come on, it's funny!Declaration of Protection: I told Ricken that, if either he or any of our friends are hurt or killed... there. will. be. blood. Mmmm, blood. And LOTS of it, nyahaha!Dogged Nice Guy: I couldn't help it, Cordelia liked Chrom a L-O-T! So I thought I should be more manly if I wanted her to like me... And then she said \"I love youJust the Way You Are!\" I guess it kiiiinda worked, just not like I expected it! Aw.Elemental Powers: Magic tomes are so much fun.Ensemble Dark Horse: I was voted the third most popularFire Emblem: Awakeningcharacter on an official Nintendo poll, right behindWalhartand \"Marth,\" y'know! More popular than even the main character and every other side character? I didn't do it, butsomeonecursed the fans to find me pretty memorable, nya ha ha!Even Henry Has Standards: One time, in the Outrealms, I was fighting this guy...Legion, I think it was!Who names their kid that?Anyway, he said he and I are two peas in a pod, but I don't just follow any orders like he does. Nope, I have standards too.

Nya ha ha!"} {"text": "(To better sound like aCage, this is best read with the voice ofLinden Ashby,Matt Mullins, Casper Van Dien,AndrewBowen,Joel McHale, orMario Casta\u00f1edaif you speak Spanish.)Didn't know you were such a fan. It's the reason why you're here, right?You don't look like the average reporter or paparazzi hounding me. Don't feel too bad though. I've seen worse, too.I'm surprised that you decided to stop by my humble little page.Johnny Cage is my screen name. My real name is Jonathan Carlton.What, you didn't know? Oh, well. First time for everything, I suppose.I made my debut in1992, along with six other kombatants. And since then, none of us haven't looked back, none more so than me.When you think of Johnny Cage, what comes to mind? Hollywood A-lister with such films as theDragon Fistseries,Ninja Mimeand numerous sequels (even though I hate it, but it's a box office hit overseas),Time Smashers,Who's That?,The Gist Of My Fist, andEvery Dog Has It's Daycomes to mind.Or the fact that depending on which timeline you're referring, I'm either one of Raiden's chosen warriors or Raiden's champion. Yeah, it's weird as hell, but I managed to put the pieces together, with the first timeline being the First Run and the second timeline being the Second Run. Less confusing that way.So my main reasoning as to why I decided to sign on to Mortal Kombat was mainly in part due to my ego. I got tired of the critics and reporters claiming that my skills were nothing but wires and special effects. So I joined up...and the rest is history. No, really. If you wanna know what happened in the games, both the First and Second Run, in the words ofOddworld: Abe's Exoddus, \"dish out some cash, and go buy the stinkin' game!\"...or read a wiki page.Being an actor, it was no surprise that my exploitsmade it to the big screen. Hanzo's still kinda annoyed that I kicked his ass in that matchup. But punching Goro in the nuts was satisfying... even if it did hurt my hand.As for the sequel...let's not speak of that blasphemy. I got a better deal in some of theweb-basedseries though so it all works out. I mean even if not-Baraka sliced my head off in the former. I also signed on for one of thecartoons. Not that it was one of my best though - that would bethose adaptations of the games. Still wonder they didn't call me even once forDefenders of the Realm.And why I've been reduced to aSequel Hookinthe latest movie! Who cares about this Cole guy anyway, that follow-up can't come out soon enough!It really blows I missedthat throwdown with those superheroesthough I get to punch aclown right in the happy sacklater on down the linethough so it's all good.Still here? Read on and see how I became the man that I am today.Action Dad: Cassandra Cage is my little warrior princess and I can't be any more proud of her.Amazon Chaser: A woman who's easy on the eyes? Check. A woman who can hold her own in the ring? Beat still, my heart. A woman who can kick my ass? Lady, here I come (no innuendo intended, boys and girls).Amicable Exes: It was one-sided between Sonya and me, with Yours Truly being the amicable one. Took being kidnapped by Shinnok and Cassie kicking his ass to finally get her to warm up to me.Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Yeah, yeah. I admit that my charming personality runs plenty of people the wrong way, but given that I'm Raiden's chosen dude, it's totally justified.Ascended Extra: Before Raiden resettled the timeline, I was part of the supporting cast. Kang was the golden boy, the point man, the star of the show. That all changedwhen Sindel came calling and Raiden accidentally fried his champion. Now, I got the job of being Raiden's golden boy. But sometimes, the price for such fame can be very high.Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: Sonya may deny it, but I know why she made me a God in her most recent ending. One: because Cassie insisted. Two: because Sonya missed me. If only a little. And sorry, babe, I know everything.Back from the Dead: By my count, I died at least three times. Top that,Sean Bean. Not to say that I had a couple of close calls. But I also refuse to die in my movies. If there's a hint of me biting it in the script, the writer must be high.Badass Boast: Before I gave Kano a punch down under, he assumed that I was all wire work and special effects. The truth is that Iamthe special effects.Badass in a Nice Suit: Given the chance, I can rock a mean tuxedo. Hell,I parachuted onto Shang Tsung's Island in oneand I spent most of the first tournament in one.Badass in Distress: Usually, I'm the one pulling off theBig Damn Heroesschtick in my films and on occasion, in real life.When Shinnok was freed, I was the one who needed rescuing from Ol' Fishface and the Revenants.Badass Normal: Wanna know how I can hang in a tournament with ninjas, commandos, sorcerers, gods and wannabe conquerors?Found out from Raiden that I got a warrior bloodline. I'm descended from a Mediterranean warrior cult that bred fighters for the gods.That explains the Glowand how I was able to tank Shinnok's best attacks.Berserk Button: I got several.Rip on my film career? I'll just kick your ass.Mess up my face? Now I'm not holding back.Kill my best friend and ruin my pair of $500 sunglasses? You're dead.Threaten Sonyaand/orCassie? Oh, do I have something bad planned for you\u2026Hell, evenIcan push 'em myself. Like the time I ruined my younger self's pair of $500 sunglasses so he'dhavetogive me a chance toknock some sense into him.Beware the Silly Ones: Don't let my laid back personality fool you.I can get down and dirty with the best of them.And as mentioned above, you threaten anyone I care about,then I'll bust out the Glowand get medieval on your ass.Bodyguarding a Badass: Not me, obviously, but in those ol'Malibu rags(hey, remember them?) I sent my ol' pal Bo to give my new pal Kang some backup. Liuie didn't really need it but it's the thought that counts, ya know?Box Office Bomb: My film debut,Ninja Mime.Not my best work, yetthe French filmgoers love itto the point that I'm still making sequels decades later. Europeans are weird. Also, best not mention it to Cyrax. The guy says I owe him eight bucks for it. He's a cyborg so how\u2026?Bragging Theme Tune: Ever heard of \"Prepare Yourself?\" It's from the oldMKmusic album and if you ever want a musical biography and a tell-all on how great I am, give it a listen, you'll be amazed. Lemme hear it:JOHNNY CAGE IS NOT AFRAID TO DIE!The Casanova: I've had my fair share of conquered female hearts along the way, including GI Sonya, but that one was for real. My Aussie friend doesn't believe I'm not paying ladies to be with me, but hey, maybe he's projecting his own issues onto me.Casanova Wannabe: My bad luck with women only extends to those who I fight and I hold no hard feelings. They can always change their mind.The Champion: I ended up with the job after Kang bought the farm.Character Development: I'm loyal to my friends despite acting like a total goof and act asthe conscienceto Raiden and his team. And as Cassie can tell you,I was a great fatherand mentor to her and the rest of the Kombat Kids.But I didn't get there by taking the easy road.My younger selfhad to find this out the hard way. After nearly losing everything after beating Shinnok, Young Me cleaned up his act and through the hardships, became the man I knew I can be.The Charmer: It's why Sonya keeps me around\u2026even though she doesn't admit it. I did kept her from going off the handle on Kotal when we were looking for Cassie and Jacqui.Chronically Killed Actor: Putting aside what kinda game series this is\u2026back in the old timeline my film companies liked doing movies about me dying over and over again. Actually it's why I jumped in on the fight with theGruesome Twosomeway back when.Combat Pragmatist: The bad guys don't fight fair, so why should I? Fighting dirty is a Cage specialty.Cool Shades: My most prized possession are my sunglasses. And at $500 a pair, they're not cheap.Cool Teacher: Team S-F was my brainchild and I'm actually not half bad at teaching. Go me.Deadpan Snarker: Wouldn't be me if I couldn't bring the snark. And I still got it.Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: I think you mean Did I Just Kicked An Elder God's Ass? I consider that to be my finest hour. And if his family's got a problem with it, I'll take them down too.Dude, Where's My Respect?: For the love of the Elder Gods\u2026 is itthathard to believe that I brought the pain to Shinnok?!Embarrassing Nickname: WHAT?! YOU TALKED TO MY MOM ABOUT THAT?! Do NOT call me \"Johnny Pee-Pants\"! I hadoneaccident! ONE!Empowered Badass Normal: Thanks to my badass Glow that some cultists gave me, not even powered bad guys are safe from Yours Truly!Fighting Clown: Clown? I resent that, I'm a thespian. Sure, I played Ninja Mime and all, but having fun while fighting doesn't make me a clown. I like to goof off, that's all.The Fighting Narcissist: Arrogant? Yes. But I can back it up. And despite that, I'm quite possibly the most selfless hero Raiden has on payroll.Flipping the Bird: I give ol' Boonie a bird when my Deadly Uppercut just won't work right in11, I give you one when you contemplate my extensive buckle collection, let's just say YOU get a finger and YOU get a finger!The Friend Nobody Likes: Yeah, I'll admit I was quite a jackass back in my younger days, made more enemies than friends along the way\u2026 but now I'm one of the most lovable people in the Earthrealm. Just ask Cassie and her friends.Germans Love David Hasselhoff: I think this is one of thoseIn-Universethings. Don't ask me why, but the French absolutely love myNinja Mimeseries. I don't quite understand why, but if they're that willing to pay to enjoy my greatness, who am I to deny them?Good Parents: Yeah I can be a womanizing dickhead and a moron-and-a-half who just doesn't wanna read the room, but goddammit I'm gonna say it real proud, I love my precious lil' girl, Cassie.And don't you fuckin' forget it.Groin Attack: Forget about a gentleman's code in the real battle, you're not earning any honor points there. If you wanna really take someone out, you gotta crack some family jewels\u2026 or hurt a lady in tender places. Trust me, this little trick saved my hide countless times.Yep, I also get my boys kicked real hard. Especially inScorpion's own movie- wait, Scorpion has his own movie now?! And yeah,Bugsy joins in on the funin the sequel.Guest Fighter: Ever playWWE Immortals? It's a mobile game the Netherrealm boys made. Which means I showed up in that. Be honest, you got a kick out of me punchin'John Cenain the corporate grapefruits, didn't ya?Guile Hero: I'm not just good looks and raw charisma, despite the appearances. Behind this handsome face lies a cunning brain. Had to use to beat Goro that one time. Luring him to a cliff and knocking his four-armed ass off of it? Brilliant.Has a Type: Got a thing for blondes since Suzie Denardo back in junior year. Also got a thing for Edenians, as I once dated a woman who looked just like Jade.Hidden Depths: Hey, look at that, the clown uses his brain on occasion, what a shock!I may have a bigass ego, but I'm capable of bein' all nice and humble when it's needed. Certainly didn't have a problem with Jax rearranging my face down in the Armory. I did pick on him about Sonya after all.My film career's given me enough business savvy to make the right calls and offers on occasion. Now if only people would bite\u2026Oh, and Shang Tsung actually got a firsthand taste of Cage philosophy with this line:Me in11:Every mandies, but not every man reallylives.Heel Realization: Believe it or not,that me from the Malibu pagesnearly went down the wrong path. Long story short, magic book thing that gave you shittons of power if you solved all its riddles. Me/Other me was this close to solving the last riddle 'til that Raiden told me I'd be as fake as shit as my haters said if I did. So I tossed it aside. I mean, that unvierse's Goro got the power anyhow.I Hate Past Me: Yeah, I'll be frank. I was a total ***ing asswipe in my prime. I blame my dad for putting ideas in my head. So when he/I got the bright idea to loudly announce to the whole damn world that he/I was gonna \"tap\" past!Sonya at the wrong goddamn time, I took him/me out back and beat some good hard manners into him/myself.Lady Killer In Love: Sonya and I have literally gone to hell and back and traded blood, sweat and tears defending Earthrealm. Never lost an eye for beauty, but as I told my lesser experienced self, Sonya's the \"real deal\".Large Ham: I'm an actor, I act with emotion and sometimes these emotions just burst out of me in a grand display of showboating. That's why I mostly play action heroes, subtlety isn't my style.Let's Get Dangerous!: Yeah, I know when to take the kid gloves off and actually take things serious. Look at Shinnok and you know not to make me mad.Los Angeles: Venice Beach is where I was born and raised.The Merch: There's been action figures of me in the past. Still hot sellers too. Kids, collectors, its all money in the bank. Except my daughter's. That's staying right in the Cage house.Mr. Fanservice: Ladies can't get enough of this perfectly sculpted body, this disarming smile and this silky-smooth voice.The Nicknamer: I like nicknames, they're funny. I think my magnum opus is \"Grandmaster Blueberry Ice\" for my black-and-blue Chinese assassin buddy! Apparently I hear he's only okay withmecalling him that and notCaptain Clown.Off with His Head!: Best of the best next to ol' Subby, baby! One punch and off goes your noggin! And another and another if I'm feelin' wacky! Don't ask.Sadly, the intro to the reboot proved turnabout's fair play. First thing you see is my sliced-off top. Yick.Older Than They Look: Let's see\u2026 I was 29 when I first got the invite to Shang Tsung's island. Add on the 25 years and you get 54. By the time Kronika pulled off her Timequake, I was 56. I age like wine.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Yeah, I take some people about as seriously as I always do, which is\u2026not at all. Until you go planning to do nasty shit to my loved ones. Here's a free tip:Don't.Our Ancestors Are Superheroes: Turns out my ancestors were superhuman warriors, bred as champions for the Gods. Explains the Glow, don't it?Papa Wolf: Don't mess with my daughter. You'll regret that life choice. And don't mess with Jacqui either. She may not be blood-related, but she is my goddaughter. Plus Jax is gonna come fists blazing if something happens to her, so better you get your ass handed to you by me than him.Person as Verb: Hey, Iinventedthe use of \"Cage\" as a verb, bucko! Don't worry, your continued adoration is my royalties.Plucky Comic Relief: What I'm good at. Of course, a comedic character can also be a hero, so I'm fine with that.Pop-Cultured Badass: I'm a major cinephile, so in addition to starring in movies, I watch some where I'm not featured. What? It's not like I'm contractually forbidden to watch 'em. Besides, I can always use a good quote to insult some jerk.They complete me.Power Incontinence:Remember my warrior bloodline? Apparently, my powers went a\u2026tad bit nutsand caused a bit of property damage. Raiden and Nightwolf shipped me off to Seido in order to better control my powers.The Power of Love: Raiden theorized that I can only usethe Glowwhenever a loved one is threatened. Pretty much confirmed whenCassie kicked Shinnok's face in.Produce Pelting: My not-so-loving fans put me on the wrong end of this in myMK4ending way back when. And yes that includes you, Arnold, don't you go denying it now you oversized ham hock! Then myamateur puppetry showin11got me a tomato-shower. I mean they all miss but my poor puppet always gets a faceful.Reasonable Authority Figure: Would you rather deal with me or General Hardass? Thought so.Roaring Rampage of Revenge: What happened when Young Asswipe Me got a scar on his face from a Black Dragon bullet whizzing by? That. It didn't take but I guess it's something.Sharp-Dressed Man: You bet your sweet ass I am! Mostly in4andDeadly Alliance, where I can ditch the classic tights for a crisp-as-all-hell tuxedo. I mean I got a nice suit in the reboot, but I left the tie undone and the shirt unbuttoned! Man, how little time did I have to get ready? Ugh!Shotoclone: Is that what they call my bag of tricks? Anyway yeah, you got the classic Shadow Balls (in arcing AND straight-on flavors),the ol' Johnny Uppercutand the patented Shadow Kick\u2122for mobility specials with feet.Silver Fox: I may be in my mid-50s, but you can bet your ass I'm still pretty good-looking!Situational Damage Attack: So here's the thing; that famous Nutcracker of mine? I used to never use it on ladies since I thought there'd be nothin' there for the move to get mileage out of. Of course, by later outings, it's, regrettably, no holds barred.Snark-to-Snark Combat: Now you know where Cassie gets it from. And apparently, I've been rubbing off on Sonya since she can snark just as good as me. Between you and me, I may vomit with pride.Spanner in the Works: Old Boneface certainly didn't expect me to whip his behind that time.That's why next time he escaped from his luxury suite amulet, he made sure I was taken out by a bug lady. Ewww, my skin crawls when I think of all these maggots eating my face.Stronger with Age: Even Young Me admits that I'm a tough little bastard.Sunglasses at Night: I don't let nighttime keep my $500 babies in my pocket, no sirrie! I mean I did used to have them off in earlier games, but not later on. And by the way, I don't bump into shit when I wear 'em.Tall, Dark, and Handsome: It's nerve-wracking being an Adonis. Six-foot-one, two hundred pounds of American badassery.Team Dad: I'm a lot more flexible than Sonya. It's one of the main reasons why Cassie's team respects me.Thou Shalt Not Kill: I'd rather not take a guy out if I can help it. War's war and all but there's a difference between Shang telling me to kill a helpless Reptile at the tourney and the shit goin' on with Shinnok.Took a Level in Kindness: After decades of inter-realm intrigue, you can bet that it's changed me for the better.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: That's right. A couple of guys that host ashow like Mortal Kombatput yours truly up against somefamous zero-g racerjust because I was gonna play him in an upcoming flick.Sadly, I joined the count of deaths because of him.Vitriolic Best Buds: Even though the big man won't admit it easily, Jax considers me a good friend, despite beating the crap out of me a few times. It's how bromance happens. In fact, if life was a buddy cop movie, I'd definitely pick him as my partner.Working with the Ex: Can't really avoid Sonya, y'know, her being the General of S-F and a fellow chosen warrior. But when it comes down to it, there's no one I'd trust to watch my back than her.You Called Me \"X\"; It Must Be Serious: Speaking of Sonya,she still carries a torch for me whenever she calls me \"Johnny\". She can deny it, but the romance is still there."} {"text": "Be warned that beyond this junction, unmarked spoilers aboutthe interactive chroniclesthat I am the eponymous individual of will be visible for all to witness\"We are Gods...darkGods. Andit is our dutytothinthe herd.\"\"Vae Victus!\"\u2014 My battle cry, translated as \"woe to the conquered\".(To immerse yourself fully in the prose of this biography, read this in the voice of oneSimon Templeman).My tale...where shall I begin?The origins of my story do not begin with my birth, for the hands of the fates have woven my lifespan and my destiny into the tapestry that is our reality to the point where although my life began during my birth, the world had already been shaped to accommodate for my presence in the past, the present, and in the times yet to come.My name is Kain, as you may have surmised from reading this so far. At the very beginning, I was but a petty nobleman, the youngest of my siblings, and unlikely to amount to anything in my life as a mortal. I took it upon myself to travel the land of Nosgoth, but they were cut short after I had been accosted and slaughtered like livestock in preparation for a meal. In the afterlife, I didn't care for where I ended up - I only sustained myself through hunger for vengeance on those that had robbed me of my life so early.It was here where I first met Mortanius, a Necromancer \u2014 but more importantly, he was a member of the Circle of Nine, a gathering of sorcerers and mages who sustained the realm of Nosgoth through nine dominions;Mind,States,Dimension,Nature,Energy,War,Time,Death, andBalance, each represented by a pillar, with all nine of them being known as \"the Pillars of Nosgoth\". Mortanius offered me a chance to take vengeance on those who had engineered my end, and I accepted with little hesitation - but for my eagerness, I did not consider the consequence of my decision. As such, Mortanius resurrected me - but rather than return to my original mortal self, he had brought me back from the brink of oblivion as avampire.After slaughtering my assassins, I quickly turned towards my next problem - my new existence as a vampire. I set out towards the Pillars of Nosgoth, the nine structures sustained by the aforementioned Circle of Nine, in order to seek answers on how to return to my normal self. But when I arrived, I encountered the ghost of the previous Guardian of Balance, Ariel, who had been killed three decades before my resurrection. Her body had been discovered by Nupraptor, the Guardian Mind and her lover. Nupraptor deduces that she could have only been killed by a member of the Circle of Nine, but unable to deduce which member was the one with Ariel's blood on their hands,he sent a wave of psychic energy out of grief and rage, intended to drive the members of the Circle to insanity. Because the Circle'swell-being was linked to the land, Nosgoth began decaying as each member was driven to the brink of madness.Of course,I had no concern for this - my motive was purely to seek a cure for myself, which Ariel and Mortanius claimed would find its way to me once I had slain every member of the Circle. And so, I went after each and every one of them. Starting with Nupraptor, and eventually making my way to Azimuth the Planer, I had slaughtered four of the nine guardians, with the fifth, Anarcrothe the Alchemist,fleeing in a cowardly haste, while the sixth, the Sarafan warrior Malek, wound up killed by the vampireVorador. Vorador had shown me the excesses and benefits that came with the existence of being a vampire, and who had begun to fuel hedonistic temptations within me. My pursuit for a cure became less and less of a concern, with the hunger for blood and the desire to slaughter becoming my main motivation.Nevertheless, all good things must come to an end. The land of Nosgoth was being threatened by the legions from the north, led bythe Nemesis, formerly known as William the Just. After amassing an army with the help of King Ottmar, the ruler of Willendorf, we engaged in an epic and sprawling battle against the enemy horde - but it was too little, too late. The army was decimated by the legions of the Nemesis, leaving Nosgoth now at the mercy of the tyrant and his thrall. With no option left, I used atime-streaming device to travel half a century back in time, and confronted William the Just before he became the Nemesis. It was here where I first learned of how the course of history can be altered - William and I both wielded the same blade,the Soul Reaver, but from different periods in time. By crossing both versions of the sword, aparadoxwas created in which the flow of history could be altered, and it was here where I slayed William the Just. And though I did not know it yet, the Soul Reaver would become a salient part of my future, and of my later attempts to perverse the course of history.Traveling forward in time, it seemed as if Nosgoth had been restored, free of the Nemesis' threat. But to my horror, I discovered that my actions in the past had created a worse future for myself than I had imagined - the vampiric race had been hunted to extinction, with William being used as a martyr for the vampire-hunting crusades of old to resume. I arrived just in time to watchVorador meet his fate at the guillotine,leaving me as the last vampire in Nosgoth. As the mob of vampire hunters turned on me, I realized that the leader of this crusade, the Oracle of Nosgoth that had previously assisted me in first meeting Vorador, was in fact a member of the Circle of Nine - the Guardian of Time, Moebius the Timestreamer.He had gone back in time and fueled William the Just's insecurities so that he may become the Nemesis, orchestrated his invasion of Nosgoth, and the ensuing confrontation between me and William,in a bid for Moebius to either wipe out the vampire race, or get rid of me and end the threat to his life. While I still managed to defeat Moebius, the damage had been done. I was the last vampire in Nosgoth, and the sole survivor of the ancient race.I was then summoned to the Pillars by Mortanius, and witnessed a confrontation between him and Anarcrothe, where I learned thatMortanius had been the one who sent the assassins after me in the first place. He had seen the Circle's decay first-hand, and came to the conclusion that new Guardians needed to take their place. After doing me the favor of killing Anarcrothe himself, I confronted him and swore to bring my wrath upon him,which he accepted- but what came next, I had not been prepared for. The Dark Entity, a being of indeterminate origin, has been possessing Mortanius, and had been the one who had killed Ariel in the first place, orchestrating the demise of the Circle. While I did vanquish him for the time being, our destinies would intersect in our futures, though I did not know it at the time.After defeating the Dark Entity,I was left with the revelationthatI was the final Guardian of the Pillars- the Scion of Balance. In order to restore Nosgoth, I would need togive my own life up- in a roundabout way,\"curing\" me of my vampiric disease. But had I chosen the sacrifice, the entire vampiric race would've been lost to the annals of the past. So I refused it, and let the Pillars decay even further. The decision to reject the sacrifice would be the foundation upon which I would build my vampiric empire, and I would later resurrect six of the ancient Sarafan priests to serve me at my behest.My reign lasted for a millennium and a half, and during this time, I had discovered the secret chambers that were used by Moebius to manipulate history. While viewing the timestream in the Chronoplast, I witnessed visions and apparitions of future events to come, and was granted with all manner of revelations. Namely, my first-born \"son\",Raziel, was destined to become trapped within the Soul Reaver, that the Pillars needed to be maintained in order to keep the race of the Dark Entity, the Hylden, imprisoned in the Demon Realm, and that Ariel's death had been orchestrated to happen directly before my moment of birth, thus damning me to a lifetime of insanity. Sacrificing my life would havechanged nothing, as the Pillars were meant to be maintained by vampires, and the extinction of the vampiric race - as well as the death of the last Guardian of the Pillars - would've resulted in the Hylden being released. However, should I have chosen to refuse the sacrifice, I would have damned Nosgoth to an eternity of decay. To say that the odds of the game were not in my favor would be understating the situation; most outcomes would result in some form of defeat for me.All I could do was bide my time. I stared into the Chronoplast for centuries, looking at the individual threads that were possibilities of the future. Raziel became the key to my success; if he wielded the Soul Reaver, which housed his future soul, he would become a walking paradox that would be the key to unraveling the nigh impossible odds I have been facing until then. And so, disguising my true motivations as mere jealousy, I cast Raziel into the abyss, damning him to an eternity of suffering and torment. From there, I waited until the day he would return, all while putting in place the final preparations of my gamble. My empire crumbled around me as the land fell further into decay, and as the rest of my children evolved into grotesque abominations.Eventually,Raziel returned, now disfigured, mutated, and fueled by self-righteous rage and a lust for vengeance. We clashed, and while Raziel was no match for me, that had always been part of my plan. I brought the Soul Reaver upon Raziel, and due to the Reaver's nature as being Raziel's future prison, the Reaver instead shattered upon making contact with him. Raziel absorbed what was left of it, and his place in my game had finally been cemented - now, destiny was but a malleable object that did not hold him subservient to the whims of fate. After watching him slaughter his brothers, we reunited at Moebius' time chambers, where after another confrontation in which Raziel revealed to me that he was now aware of his origins as a Sarafan warrior, I fled into the past of Nosgoth, knowing Raziel would follow me.Now, my plan rests in the hands of Raziel, and in order to restore Nosgoth and the vampire race, while keeping the Hylden at bay, I must guide Raziel with benevolence not shown to him by his other benefactors, one of whom appears to be my old foe, Moebius the Timestreamer, still as manipulative yet pathetic as ever. Raziel seeks his own answers, plundering and pillaging ancient temples and ruins containing some of the land's most well-kept secrets, with his answer and motivations still undetermined to him. I must continue playing the waiting game, so that once the fateful moment approaches, I will be present in the right location at the right time to change the land of Nosgoth, for better or worse.\"But suppose you throw a coin enough times - supposed one day, it lands on its edge.\"Fate promises more tropes, before this drama unfolds...completely:A Lighter Shade of Black: If I had been present in any other fable or myth, it would be remiss of you to assume that I would occupy a heroic position - but in Nosgoth, I instead play the part of a lesser and more benign evil when confronting the dark and manipulative forces of my world.Anti-Hero: I am no paragon of virtue, yet some of my objectives would be considered desirable by those nobler than I.Battle Cry: \"Vae Victus\" - woe to the conquered.Even Evil Has Loved Ones:While Raziel's fate of being imprisoned in the Soul Reaver is the fulcrum of my centuries of planning, I would choose another way to spare him from his fate. And despite what he may think, I never threw him into the Abyss out of jealousy.Even Evil Has Standards: I may be cruel, but I am not without some modicum of morals:I have no tolerance for hypocrisy and moral posturing - my interactions with Raziel in the past of Nosgoth have made this clear enough.I have nothing but disgust for Elzevir the Dollmaker,whatever he was.While my bloodlust was absolute during my early days as a vampire, witnessing what torturous horrors the insane members of the Circle had inflicted upon normal humans left me no choice but to grant thema final mercy.After learning that my former subordinate Magnus had remained loyal to me in spite of all the torturous horrors inflicted upon him by the Wardens of his prison I granted him amerciful end to his nightmare.From Nobody to Nightmare: As a human, I was the youngest in a family of nobles, destined for nothing greater than a life of hedonism and self-pleasure. As a vampire, I have become feared by humans, and a foe of those who try to shape destiny for their own benefit.Guest Fighter: Raziel and I once found ourselvesinside a temple from within another realm. But I seldom make appearances in realities that aren't my own, though it seems as if my devotees have asked for me toconfront warriorsfrom other realitieson several occasions.It's All About Me: I may be working to restore Nosgoth, but I have never fully shed my self-interest and selfish motivations - once I restore Nosgoth, I intend to rule it as before.Legendary in the Sequel: My exploits and the trail of blood left behind by them made me the subject of tales and legends in the future by the vampires spawned from me and my brethren.Noble Demon: My sense of honor, morality, and personal limitations may seem odd to most of you, but make no mistake - at least Ihaveone, unlike my foes.Our Vampires Are Different: It has come to my attention that the portrayal of the vampiric race varies in your fictional tales and stories. Some depictions have gained my interest, and I wonder if some of these are where our species' cycle of evolution is poised to progress towards.Put the \"Laughter\" in \"Slaughter\": Make no mistake - I enjoy bloodshed and combat, which my mannerisms and habits make all the more obvious to those I am engaged in combat with.Right for the Wrong Reasons: The inceptive decision I made to refuse the sacrifice was done purely out of selfishness and self-interest - but as it was revealed to me, it was the preferable recourse in the grand scheme of things.Sociopathic Hero: I have no fear of bloodying my claws should the time arises, though in my elder age, my desire for bloodshed has decreased substantially - in my younger days as a vampire, I held no care for one's innocence or not, for I would have gladly slaughtered them for their blood.Take a Third Option: My entire plan from after I refused the sacrifice was to find a way to restore Nosgoth without sacrificing myself, while also ruling over it and keeping opponents such as the Hylden from conquering it for themselves.Vampire Monarch: The path I chose for myself once I had refused the sacrifice.Villains Never Lie: Would I give you half-truths and metaphorically correct answers should you ask me for them? Yes. But would I ever lie to your face? Never. I am truthful - a mercy you will not find from those who oppose me.Was Once a Man: Though my subjects worship me as a deity among vampires, the simple truth is that I too was a mortal."} {"text": "I can't stop laughing!\"Oooooh, new victims! Come over, come over, don't be shy, form an orderly line, I'll be happy to kill you all in good...eh? What? You're here looking for information onme? I'm flattered! I like you.I think I'llkill you last. Maybe. We'll see how I feel later, I might change my mind. Perhaps you even want to join my cult and worship me? If so, you may yet live; the Fanatics' Tower is that way. Huh? Oh, right, tropes.I amKefka Palazzo, my friends call me Kefka. When they aren't just shrieking in agony, that is, which is how most of my friends end up reacting to my presence. Well, Icallthem friends - a more correct term might be \"playthings\". But I digress. I am a character from theFinal Fantasyfranchise, specificallyFinal Fantasy VI. In that world, I was court mage toEmperor Gestahlofthe Gestahlian Empire, which by the way, not a very inventive name is it? I thought so too, if you're going to rule the world you need a bit more imagination, which is whyI booted that old geezer to his deathand decided to make my own claim for power. Empires areboringthough,sitting on thronesordering people around, where's the fun in that?So, I decided tobecome a godand use my new powersto rip the world apart. Sure, everyone else was caught in despair or dead, but frankly I think the planet needed that makeover, not enough death and chaos. Trust me, I fixed that, alotof people died! After that I picked up philosophy as a hobby and pontificated thusly:If death and destruction are inevitable, then creating stuff and living is honestly just pointless fluff that we delude ourselves with... So I spent the next year or so dedicating my life toprecision nuking anything and everything that seemed to make people feel compelled to cling to lifefrom atop my tower with myLight of Judgment. You know, so they could come to the same realization as I had and justkill themselves already!And that's when I didn't just fry the humans themselves with the Light just for the heck of it, it's not like I need a reason to kill people.Its like killing ants with a magnifying glass, excepttheseants scream when they die.Muchmore satisfying.But those pesky heroes had to band together and take me down. They sound like self-help booklets, but... okay, fighting them was alotof fun, I enjoyed it immensely, but they killed me! ME!! Poor little me died and my fun came to an end. I went down fighting, let me tell you, and Itook the source of all magic in the worldwith me when I went, so even if they won, it was aBittersweet Ending... plus, it's not like they won't all die sooner or later anyway, with or without my involvement...So anyway, I was dead, but oh, in your world, I am not forgotten! Why do you think I have this page, because I wanted my name on the page lists? No, I got my own page because some fans and critics consider me to be one of the greatest video game villains of all time! Now, if I am to be honest with you, I'm notquiteas famous asthat long-haired pretty boy in the black coat. There's no accounting for taste, I suppose. But I'm not jealous, why would I be? If you need a reminder of what I eventually do to chump posers who think I'm going to play second banana to them, just ask Emperor Gestahl...Aside from my original game, I've appeared in thatDissidia Final Fantasyspin-off and thearcade rebootof it. I also appeared in therhythm gamespin-off of those titles.Final Fantasy Brave Exvius,Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, andFinal Fantasy Record Keepermade me a playable character, too. One of my personal favorites, though, isFinal Fantasy XIV, I got to appear in the Sigmascape as aBonus Boss. At last you can behold all my Godly glory in full HD, and they let me bring my \"Tower of the Gods\" with me for some backup. I've never looked better!Below are some tropes I collected to show off my accomplishments. Now buzz off, I decided killing you is too boring, I'll let you get a head start, you've got one minute. Sixty...fifty-nine...fifty-eight.Oh, and before you view me with a variable voice or as some sort of mute, remember the two who have done my Japanese and English voice respectively...Shigeru ChibaandDave Wittenberg. Those two have done well to portray me inDissidiaI may say. I also must condone my fanJosh Scorcherfor his take on my Gleeful Madness.I could spend hours going on about how great I am, but that's time I could be using to destroy things, so just read these instead.Alas, Poor Villain: InDissidiathe first. I couldn't fill my empty hear with hopes, dreams or happiness, so I tried to fill it with destruction, but it was never enough. I diedCry Laughing... Little Terra promised to never let my suffering happen again. I'm almost touched...The Bad Guy Wins: It's one of my many claims to fame, thank you. I actuallydidwin, for a while \u2014 the heroes were scattered and demoralized, the world was in tatters with civilization struggling to live on, and I reigned from on-high as a god burning the survivors of the apocalypse as I chose. It took a whole year before the heroes got the courage to band together and take me down, during which I was on top of the world.Beware the Silly Ones: I'm laughing, I'm giggling, I'm bouncing around making jokes, and in about ten seconds I'm going to fry you alive in your own juices with a blast of lightning because man, won't that be fun? I'm not sure if I have the patience to wait that long though.Big Bad: OfFinal Fantasy VI, naturally. I began asThe Dragonto Emperor Gestahl, but trust me, even before I killed him and took over as main antagonist,I was already doing most of the work.Breakout Villain: I only appeared in one game, but I made such an impression that I stand proud as one of the most famousFinal Fantasyvillains, and some have even called me one of the greatest villains in all of video games! People love me, and I hate them all in kind.The Chessmaster: Believe it or not, I showed signs of this. My, shall we say,impeccablefashion sense and demeanor made Gestahl underestimate me and think I'd be easy to control. I exploited Celes's little band breaking into the Magitek research facility to learn about the powers of Magicite, and then used Gestahl's plan to find the Espers to turn a lot of them into it. Finally, I learned about the Warring Triad's powers in secret so I could use them to finally \"dethrone\" Gestahl. Moral of the story, boys and girls:Don't judge a book by its cover.Complete Monster: Once you get to know me, you can see that I am not a nice guy at all.See herefor my finest accomplishments!Confusion Fu: How I fight inDissidia, magic attacks that have irregular movements.Crazy Is Cool: Especially inDissidia, I ham up the scenery while throwing out magic that have bizarre movements.Creepy Circus Music:My leimotifcombines this trope with a military march, quite appropriate if I do say so myself.Creepy Crossdresser: I look stunning with earrings and beads in my hair. I even painted my fingernails purple forFinal Fantasy Dissidia!Death from Above: As a god my instrument to destroy was the Light of Judgment, aPillar of Lightfrom the heavens to burn the earth and anyone in its path.Depending on the Writer: In the original Japanese game I hailed from, I was aPsychopathic Manchild, silly and comical. Then thatTed Woolseyfellow translated my lines for the English game to emphasize my hatred and cruelty, and the joy I found in tormenting others. This re-imagining of me was so popular it would influence my later appearances in the game's re-release andDissidia, on both sides of the Pacific.Epic Flail: You only have one or two real chances to see it (think the confrontations with me at the Sealed Gate or the Seige of Doma, where I'm in overworld sprite form and not enemy target form), but for simple hand-to-hand combat, I prefer swinging around a chained, big ol' spiked ball of hurt on a stick.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Look, let me be serious for a second and lay it down easy for you. Even if I wasn't around, you're going to die sooner or later, as will everyone you know and love, and everything you love about life will be destroyed or forgotten once you're gone, if it doesn't happen already while you're alive. So what's thepoint? Why bother living when eventually you're going to die and everything you did in life will amount to nothing? Love, hope, friendship? That'sstupid, those things really make your empty life worth living? Don't be ridiculous! Just lay down and let me kill you, it's whats going to end up happening anyway so why fight it?Evil Is Burning Hot: My favorite method of destruction is to burn things, and that's saying a lot because I have a lot of different ways to destroy things.Evil Laugh: It's my trademark!All together now!Evil Sorceror: My magical powers are almost unequaled, even before I started sucking the Triad dry of their godly power.Expy: As my white make-up, evil laugh, and penchant for causing destruction and chaos for a quick laugh might have tipped off, I am very similar toThe Joker. By the way,greatguy, has some brilliant ideas I might steal for myself someday.For the Evulz: All the chaos, mayhem, and destruction I cause? I do it just because it'sfunto do! I don't have aFreudian Excuse, I'm not out for revenge, I don't have any delusions that I'm doing the right thing. I'm just having a blast watching you all die.From Bad to Worse: Trust me, it canalwaysbe worse. I know, I'm likely to be the cause, as my home game will attest.From Nobody to Nightmare: I'm not fully sure of my origins, but definitely I was once just an ordinary human living an ordinary life. I went on to become a god and attempt to destroy the world and everyone living in it. Heck, in your first few fights with me, did you expectsomeonelikemeto be anything more than a running gag? I'm just full of surprises!Germans Love David Hasselhoff: It's become known in the Internet era that I'm far more popular in North America than in Japan. This is thanks to the work ofTed Woolseyagain, who rewrote my dialogue in the original Super NES release of my game to emphasize my psychopathic hatred of life and thirst for destruction, while in the original Japanese I was more of a giggling fool who destroyed for fun. This alternate depiction of me proved so popular though that it would influence the remakes of the game and my later appearances in spin-offs, and now I'm sort of aComposite Characterof my original and translated selves.Godhood Seeker: God of Magic, to be precise! I absorbed the power of the Warring Triad, themselves gods, to become even stronger than they ever were!Hope Crusher: Your pathetic, empty \"hope\" is so much more fun to destroy when it seems so close to your reach.Knight of Cerebus: Once I start showing off my love of destruction, the game really starts getting a lot darker when I show up. I murder somebody in almost every scene I appear in. And that's before I cause the World of Ruin.Large Ham: Hey, destruction is so muchfun, can I help it if I let myself enjoy it!Laughably Evil: Part of why the fans like me. Everyone sees me as horrible monster, but they can't deny I've got some of the funniest moments inFinal Fantasy VIand inDissidiaLight Is Not Good: Never forget, light canburn, and as my Light of Judgment proves, it does it real good, too.Load-Bearing Boss: In a metaphysical sense. The Warring Triad were the gods of magic and the source of all magic for it, so when I drained their powers, that passed on to me. When I died, all the magic in the world, along with Espers and Magicite, vanished forever.Madness Tropes: You could probably stick a good half the index here if you really wanted to stretch my characterization! To list some of the most prominent and important ones:Ax-Crazy: ...an ax! I never thought of that! I've spent all this time massacring thousands of people using my magic, but anax, that's brilliant! Someone get me an ax, a big one!Death Seeker: InDissidia, I become so lost in despair over the pointlessness of life that I resorted to destroying myself to see ifthatcould finally make me feel better.Laughing Mad: OH WOW, this is almost my defining trope even more than anything else, I'm theTrope Namereven! Well, my final boss theme is rather, but you get the point. Ilovecausing carnage and chaos wherever and however I can, and I make sure anyone watching knows it! Not that there should be anyone watching, they should all be dead!Mad God: I'm the God of Magic, and I'm not so much off my rocker as I am doing cartwheels around the room.Monster Clown: If I need the white face make-up,Evil Laugh, and colorful harlequin clothing to frighten you, I'm obviously not doing a good enough job on my own, but I figure it can only help, right?Obfuscating Insanity: I may be nuts, but I'm notstupid. When I put what's left of my mind to it I'm just as manipulative and cunning asFinal Fantasy'sgreatests.Omnicidal Maniac: The very second I got ultimate power, the first thing I did is try to blow up the world. I didn't get all the way there, but I was pretty happy with what I had managed for a first try. Then the heroes annoyed me at the top of my tower, so I decided to finish the job.Psychopathic Manchild: In my Japanese appearances I use the \"boku-chin\" pronounce that little boys usually use, and some of my behavior could be seen as a \"tantrum\". That said, I still showed signs of this in the U.S. version when I threw a tantrum over theKirk Summationthe heroes gave me when they finally confronted me at the end of the game.Psycho Prototype: The first Magitek Knight, but the process was still experimental and something in my mind just wasn't the same after that procedure, twisting me into what I am now.Sanity Slippage: At the start of the game when you first meet me, I'm not really \"insane\", just a little off-kilter and quick to resort to violence to get my way. As the game goes on you'll notice me laughing more often, getting more extreme in my methods, and by the end of the game I'mwaypast the limits of rationality.Slasher Smile: What part of \"having fun killing things and letting it show\" do you not get yet?The Sociopath: I can check off a good number of the requirements.I care nothing for anyone, cannot understand morality and goodness and why people follow them, can manipulate others to make them do what I want, have no control over my own impulses and am always looking for more creative ways to sate my appetite for destruction, and have a quite large ego and even compliment my own looks in theDissidiagames. Some people just want to the watch the world burn. Me?I was the one who lit the match.With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The Magitek infusion granted me immense magical powers, but shattered my sanity. It's not fully clear if the power I gained during the game hastened my descent into total madness, or if I just happened to get crazier on my own as I sought more power, but it's definitely possible either way.You're Insane!: General Leo called me out on this as I prepared to kill him...yeah,I thought it was a little direct too, especially after showcasing all those other tropes up there.Magical Clown: That Joker guy can brag all he wants, but canhesay that he became a full-blowngod? Oh sure, there was thatEmperor Joker...thing, buthecheated. My powers are all mine.Manipulative Bastard: InDissidia, I spotted that weirdo crossdresser Kuja maybe planning to switch sides, so I put the kabash on that.Mysterious Past: My past prior to the game's beginning is a blank slate. Someone tells you I was the first Magitek Knight, but otherwise, there are no details of my history revealed. SomeFanoninspired by Japanese non-licensed doujinshi paint me as a Thamasan orphan who became one Gestahl's finest generals, and the one who recruited Celes into our ranks. Then my Magitek infusion corroded my mind and I was bumped down to court mage in favor of General Leo. None of that is official canon, but if you wanna go with that, be my guest.Nietzsche Wannabe: I'll say it again, nothing you've accomplished in life matters, and you and everything you cherish will one day be destroyed, so why bother living at all? This is why I decided to destroy the world, it'll all die without my influence, but I can speed things along and help you get it over with.One-Winged Angel: And mine even predates theTrope Namer. Take that, momma's boy!Poison Is Evil: Well,duh. Just ask the people of Doma...what's left of them, anyway!Practically Joker: Grr! I hate to admit it, but yeah, we got quite a bit in common.Laughably Evil,Lean and Mean,Monster Clown, prone toEvil Laugh... yeah, yeah, we got a lot of overlap. But listen! We're not exactly twins separated at birth either! The fact you actually knowmy name,my backstory,andI have magical powers while he doesn't means we're quite different too.Shut Up, Kirk!: I question the heroes if they got anything to fight for, and they actually decided to answer and boy were their answers sappy, so I told them they sound like bad lines from a self help book.The Starscream: Remember how I was cackling in the Magitek Factory about reviving the Warring Triad? That was a hint that I was planning to stab that pompous fool Gestahl in the back long before we got to the Floating Continent. You can also see how angry I got when he bossed me around in the Cave of the Sealed Gate. Not to mention (unlikethe freak himself) I was asuccessfulStarscream-the results speak for themselves.Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: I may be aNietzsche Wannabe, but think about that \u2014 the very concepts of hope, love, friendship? They mean nothing to me. I'm just too insane to understand them anymore. So if I can't live for those precious things that make everyone else happy, what else can I live for but destruction? All I have to bring meaning to my life is destroying things, and eventually even that won't be enough. This is why I was driven to myDeath Seekerstatus inDissidia, there was nothing left to try to make me happy except destroying myself.Hey, guess what?

You aren't Banjo or Kazooie! This isn't even Spiral Mountain! What is this place?!Uh-huh... So this website,TV Tropes, is where you list tropes about various types of media? IncludingVideo Games? AndBanjo-Kazooieis listed here as well? Why, isn't that just marvelous! My eyes are almost popping out of my screen!But let's not get ahead of ourselves, now. My title is the Lord of Games, but you, er... Tropers can call me L.O.G. I am the grand creator of all video games, includingthe italian gentleman,the blue hedgehog,the orange marsupial, and, of course,the bear and breegull.You may be asking yourself, \"Well, L.O.G., if you're the grand creator of all video games, why didn't you show yourself?\" Lucky for you, I have an answer. I simply am present, I just choose not to show myself.I only chose to reveal myself inBanjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Boltsafter seeing that Banjo's feud with Grunty needed some spicing up. With aGenre Shiftinvolving cars, of course.After that, I made an appearance in one moreRaregame (that beingKiller Instinct (2013)) as a backpack forRash... before not appearing in any games since then. I wasn't even invited tothat grand contestBanjo and Kazooie participated in! I will admit, I hated seeing those two anathemas Galeem and Dharkon wipe out many of my creations, but I couldn't interfere. If I did, well... that would ruin the fun for you, wouldn't it?Now, before you ask, this is not a place tocomplain about the sole game I have a major role in. I am legally obliged to say this on behalf of the administration staff.Now then, let the troping commence!Big Good: I'll admit, I'm a rather unusual example compared to other characters who fit this trope. I'm a neutral entity in the grander scheme of things between Banjo and Grunty, but I often bend the rules to help him and his feathered friend.Blue-and-Orange Morality: Nevertheless, my utmost concern is entertainment foryou, the player, which also means I must stay neutral. Apologies to the people who were expecting me to directly help Banjo or Kazooie.Final-Exam Boss: My challenge inSpiral Mountain, which I have dubbed \"Six of the Best\", tasks Banjo and Kazooie with a marathon of different challenges they have completed throughout the game, only this time, they have to design a vehiclewith the capabilities to do everything. I do admit,I'm thesecondto last challenge, with the final challenge being, of course, against Grunty (which, amusingly enough, falls into this criteria as well).A Form You Are Comfortable With: This, my dear Tropers, isn't even close to my \"true\" form. I just choose to present myself like this as to appear friendly and approachable to my videogame children.The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: At one point in the game's opening cutscene, I just have a bit of small talk with the player...before going back to the business at hand. Trust me, with all my omnipotence, I wouldnevergo as far asthat psychotic dating sim schoolgirl who wants the player to herselforthat vile little weed of a flower who thinks it's alright to scare the living daylights out of them. Even I have standards, you know.Monika:Well, that wasn't very nice. Unlike you, I actually care about the player's well-being. And I'm not evil, either! W-what are you trying to say?Image Song: Ah, yes. \"Inside the Logbox\". In one part of the song, you can even hear me welcome Banjo and Kazooie to my game worlds.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Okay, \"jerk\" is really stretching it. I consider myself as a strict entity who makes sure that the conditions of the game are met. However, between you and me, I do have a bit of a soft spot for the bear and bird. I shudder to think whatthat cliched cronewould have done with Spiral Mountain if she won.King of All Cosmos: I am the most powerful entity in the wholeBanjo-Kazooieuniverse, if not the whole video game world as you know it.No Biological Sex: Unlike other robotic entities mentioned on this website, I am beyond such earthly distinctions as gender. However, if you consider that a Lady of Games exists, I supposed that would make me superficially male. Not that it bothers me much, anyway.Purple Is Powerful: If my purple cloak isn't obvious enough.Reality Warper: Being the grand designer behind all video games, I have the ability to control everything... at least, within a video game.Shout-Out: The thing displayed on my screen might lookfamiliarif you've been into my craft when it first began.Spear Counterpart: You may think I'm the only one of my kind at first glance, but that is certainly not the case. When you teleport back to Showdown Town, there is an off chance thatI'll mentionthat there IS a \"Lady of Games\". Not that she has any plot relevance, of course. She created the first games to feature pony-riding, lovely kittens, and ninjas being blown up with rocket launchers.TV Head Robot: More like \"TV Robot\", in my case. My head is the only part of my body, unless you also count my cloak as part of it.Welcome to my world...Stupid bear and bird...Lots to do and see...Stop N' Swop on 360..."} {"text": "There are a few lines on this page that can be interpreted as needless bashing of the Mewtwo from Pok\u00e9mon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, but this is merely the old Mewtwo reacting in-character to her existence and wanting to challenge her. If a line seems like bashing to you, please try to edit it to make this clearer rather than removing it.\"Behold my powers! I am the most powerful Pok\u00e9mon in the world!\"(This page should be read in the voice of Jay Goede,Dan Green,Christopher Corey Smith, orRina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe(English), or Masachika Ichimura,Keiji Fujiwara, orK\u014dichi YamaderaandSayaka Kinoshita(Japanese).)You, troper. Come closer.So, you have decided to enter into my lair. You dare to approach me? I am Mewtwo, the most powerfulPok\u00e9monin the world. ...Very well. If you are so curious, than I shall tell you my story. But be warned: if I discover intent within you totell my story to another human, then I willerase your memory.My story has been toldfor many years, inmany forms,and indifferent ways. I am a legendary Pok\u00e9mon, and humans know little about me. My story begins withscientists.Yes,the humans who created me...Although many stories have been told about me, one thing remains consistent: I am a descendant of Mew, purportedly the ancestor of all Pok\u00e9mon. And the moment I could, I destroyed the lab where I was born or created and escaped.You wish to know more about the stories in which you humans portray me?It may notmatter much, as I sense your curiosity growing ever stronger. And with it, the desire to share my secrets. I will take care of that afterwards.My first appearance was in thePok\u00e9mon Red and Bluevideo games. In those games a young trainer read the scattered chronicle of my creation in Cinnabar Island's Pok\u00e9mon Mansion. The trainer would encounter me much later in Cerulean Cave. Many years later I appeared somewhere elsePok\u00e9mon X and Yhaving taken refuge in Pok\u00e9mon Village's Unknown Dungeonin Kalos.Upon my introduction inRedandBlue,I was by far at my most powerful, being nearly impossible to defeat by any of your foolish lesser Pok\u00e9mon. While inlater generationsthat fool Arceushas overtaken me,XandYhave given me two newMega Evolutionsthat allow my power to far surpass that of even the Creator. In my X form, my body increases in bulk, and my physical strength far surpasses any known Pok\u00e9mon. In my Y form, many of my traits regress to make me more closely resemble my template(or mother), Mew. My appearence becomes much smaller as my head becomes much larger, with most of my mass having been converted into brainpower. This enhances my mental capabilities far beyond previously documented limits. In both forms, my higher offensive stat even surpasses the alien Deoxys in its Attack Form, who previously outclassed me in terms of psionic capabilities. I am also stronger than other legendaries' Mega and Primal forms. I have even found a way to overcome the Dark Type, which I admit worried me on some level for a time. Finding almost all of my powers all but useless against them was\u2026 unsettling. As such, I mastered Aura and created the Miracle Eye technique, both allowing me to overcome them.I have also appeared in many other video games. Perhaps my most well-known side game appearance is inSuper Smash Bros.Melee, where I was able to use my mental powers to compete againstNintendo's greatest heroes. Unfortunately, the game designers made me far, far weaker. Even a pitifulJigglypuffcould defeat me. Possibly as a consequence of this, I was replaced with a mereLucarioin the games that followed. Of course, there happens to beDummied Outresources related to me as discovered inBrawl. Also,a group of loyal fanshave flawlessly re-integrated me into theirBrawlvariant, and made me into theWorthy OpponentI deserve to be. Despite my general disdain for your species, I admit that I am honored by their work. In fact,the creatorhimself decided to honor me by adding me toSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DSas adownloadable character, and all have praised my return. I even met\"yourboy\"alongsideanother little boyon my way back, the latter who surprisingly has a lot in common with me, and who despite all the tragedy and the loss that cursed his life managed to carry on thanks to the love of his friends and family. Without them, he probably would have become like me\u2026 If only she\u2026 No. It is no use to think about that, it will not bring her back. I am sorry, Amber\u2026I enter the fifth outing only to face an entity far beyond my power and can cripple even gods. I can only hope that the one called Kirby can free me from this accursed prison, defeat the imposters posing as me, and allow me to deliver the final blow to Galeemand his antithesis.Another of my appearances is inPok\u00e9mon Conquest, within the region of Ransei. As the Warriors of Ranseiforge Linkswith Pok\u00e9mon rather than capture them forcibly, I found the region to my liking, although the portrayal is somewhat\u2026anachronistic. Regardless, I was able to determine the presence of a Warrior who would be worthy of my presence; thus, once WarlordKenshin of Illusiohad shown management prowess that I deemed worthy, I constructed the Mystery Rock to await his challenge. I also participated in the Ferrum Battles inPokk\u00e9n Tournament, but got deceived by amysterious hooded female humanwho fused my body with anorange gemfilled with theDevil Geneand took control over my will. It was quite humiliating to be this woman's pet, but yet strangely\u2026satisfying. MyShadow formwas quite reminiscent of what thefools of the Cipher crime syndicatedid to themystical guardian of the seas. And yes I encountered the one calledKazuya, the carrier of the matrilinealnoteIf only Kazuya's son Jin had learned about this much earlier, he wouldn't have started that meaningless war.Devil Gene himself.You humans also seem to have a knack foranimated television shows created in order to sell merchandise, andPok\u00e9mon: The Seriesis no exception. Fortunately, said anime was able to develop me into a somewhat deep and very well-respected character.Pok\u00e9mon: The First Moviechronicled my creation by Dr. Fuji and my subsequent attempt to search for my purpose in life. During my growth, I discovered that I was created by humans and not Arceus, and that Pok\u00e9mon were little more than willing slaves to humans. Angry at these circumstances, I invited the strongest trainers in the region to my New Island headquarters to toy with them for my purposes. Using special Pok\u00e9 Balls of my creation, I stole their Pok\u00e9mon and produced superior clones, which I would then command to annihilate my new foes in battle. My reason for this entire endeavor? It was simply to search for my purpose and prove that I was a superior being, even more than Mew itself. For the English version,in order to make said movie more accessible to children, my motivations were changed to simplyTake Over the Worldby repopulating the planet with my clones. However, in both versions, Ash Ketchum helped merealize the error of my ways; I learned that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant, and it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. With that, my clones and I would live in peaceful coexistence with the humans and their Pok\u00e9mon. I would return in the anime special named,fittingly,Pok\u00e9mon: Mewtwo Returns, where I would join Ash and struggle against my former master Giovanni once again. There I would disappear for a time, far away from the prying eyes of humans.Many years later, the humans madePok\u00e9mon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, which depictedanother Mewtwowith the ability to Mega Evolve. But this Mewtwo was less savage and more feminine than yours truly, with many of her backstory elementssimply being retellings of my own. The existence of another one of my kind both angers and captivates me. As I will teach you in a matter of seconds,Iam the true and superior Mewtwo, and I wish tochallenge her in battle to drive this point home. Yet, thepossibility of Mewtwo reproductionintrigues me (if biology even allows for it).noteI am aware that many of you have shown me great respect, and view this new Mewtwo with disdain. This is largely because many of you believed that it would bemewho would fight the Genesect Army rather than her, instead of wasting time on this pathetic website as I am now. I am flattered, but please leave such opinions on the various subjective pages on this site. However, this does not delay your inevitable defeat at my hands.Then, it would seem my return became an inevitability.Somehow or another,I found myself captured by one of your kind for his own purposes; to fuse humans and Pokemon together as the next cycle of \"evolution\" for your race. Those responsible for my capture, in spite of all that had occurred, chose to free me instead. Sadly, the one called \"Harry Goodman\" was injured by my captor's Pokemon, in spite of my attempts to save him. It was witnessing his partner, a small Pikachu, beg for me to save his life that I came to understand further of the bonds between humans and their Pokemon. Thus, I fused Harry's consciousness into the Pikachu, blocking his memories in the process, and hoping that the man's son would find him and seek the truth of what had transpirednoteAnd yes, it seems you humans tended to note the desired effect created what could best be described as a Pokemon with the voice of thatinsufferable mercenary you obsess over more so than most.My captor chose to hide the fact that I was the one and true Mewtwo, acting as if he created me. His failure to grasp such was a fatal mistake, for though he captured me and used my very powers to enact his schemes of madness by taking over my own body, the Pikachu and the boy were able to free me. Thus, I could undo the damage wrought, and return things to as they were meant to be.Then, the time came for my tale to be retold again, this time for those of a newer generation. They even chose to bring backthe one who provided my voice the second timefor this purpose; a clear testament to how your kind at least has some sense.But it seems that my fate with Ash is forever intertwined more than I cared to admit. Either sometime after my encounter with Giovanni, or aftermy fleeing of Rhyme City, I took to finding Pokemon whom humans had callously abandoned and neglected, and chose to give them a place to heal. The boy and his new friend, an eager human named Goh, encountered me while searching for the whereabouts of Mew. They both sought to improve their understanding of Pokemon and chose to challenge me (rather foolishly of course), and found their Lucario and Cinderace lacking enough to best my skills. Yet their refusal to give up and care for those under their watch impressed me. They may be humans, but they proved themselves to be the best of them that day. As such, I revealed my role in rescuing those that were not so fortunate to have trainers like them, and granted them the gift of retaining their memories of me. Perhaps our paths will cross again someday. And when they do, I expect them to be even greater.Another series, known asPok\u00e9mon Origins, depicted me as more of a feral, superpowered animal - a much closer depiction to the games.Yet I was captured by Red, who managed to defeat me using his Charizard - though only after inducing a Mega-Evolution. I am proud of his skills, but do not wish to obey the orders of any pathetic human. It is implied the capture only took place so that he could obtain sufficient data for the quest placed upon him for one Professor Samuel Oak; however our encounter took place in the final \"File\" of that series, and my present state in that depiction is unknown.I have also appeared in many other media, such as the manga seriesPok\u00e9mon Adventures. This portrayal would gradually evolve to resemble my anime portrayals, and I gained the ability to speak telepathically.Enough talking.Now we fight!*cue battle music*A wild MEWTWO appears!Mewtwo used Trope Overload!Ambiguous Gender: The first Legendaries to have a confirmed physical sex was in the fifth generation. Before then, any portrayal of me could have either been biologically sexless, with a sex, or even hermaphroditic. A majority of my portrayals which give me masculine voices, but the Mewtwo that fought the Genesect Army was given a more feminine voice. Whether that was a second Mewtwo or a chosen change is unknown. It is worth noting, however, that most viewers watchingmy first specialassume that Nidoqueen andRhyhornwere mates and had many young. However, the Nidoqueen children have purple eyes, unlike their mother. This would also explain why it was so important for the young pokemon to remember where they originated from, as they may have inherited my moves and other features as well.Antagonistic Offspring: Some continuities depict me as literally a child born from Mew. Be it my parent in a maternal or genetic sense, she and I do not see eye-to-eye on humanity and are bitter enemies.Art Evolution: My depictions in the first games were a bit different than the form I have before you today. Indeed, human Ken Sugimori originally depicted me with a much bigger head and smaller body, probably to emphasize my intellect and psionic powers. However, after my apparition in the popular animated series and films which gave me more humanoid proportions, the games eventually adopted this form as well.Artificial Human: In some continuities, I have confirmed human genes in my genetic makeup. However, in other continuities this is merely speculation.Badass Adorable: My Y-type Mega Evolution form reveals some of Mew's features within me. Humans of your world have also compared it tocreatures from beyond your Earth, or the creature known asKid Buu. But though my Mega form may look softer than my normal body, I can assure you that I am much stronger in that form.Badass Boast: I am the strongest Pok\u00e9mon in the world. In many worlds. I was created to be such, and I will continue to announce myself as such. It is the truth. Also, in my cinematic debut, I declared myself \"the new ruler of this world, the master of humans and Pok\u00e9mon alike\".While I took on a less pompous persona in the original Japanese, I still had a few moments like this. When declaring my counterattack against the world, I stated, \"I curse everything I was born upon. But this is neither an attack nor a declaration of war\u2026! Against all of you who brought me into this world, I will\u2026strike back.\"Bare-Fisted Monk: In my X-type Mega Evolution, I gain the Fighting type and the ability to use martial arts techniques more adeptly than any mortal. My base attack stat is also the highest of any Pok\u00e9mon in that form.Beware the Mind Reader: My ability to read minds is either left ambiguous or outright portrayed. But I have certainly attacked individuals for what I've read in their minds.Soon, you will be included among them.Blood Knight: By fighting I can prove my worth and show the world that I am stronger than Mew.Bowdlerise: In the original Japanese version of my first film appearance, I was a confused individual wishing to prove my superiority over Mew in order to justify my existence. For the English dub, I took on a much more pompousEvil Overlordpersonality and wished to terminate all life on the planet to replace it with my cloned Pok\u00e9mon; this was presumably to enforceBlack-and-White Moralityand make the film easier for children to understand. You are free to take or leave whatever you wish from either version, but when that story was presented againtwenty years later, the narrative was consistently in line with the former.Breaking the Fourth Wall: For this self demonstrating page, and that alone.Brought Down to Badass: The moves made to remove the errors that made Psychic Pok\u00e9monoverpowered typemeant that after Generation I, I was no longer the unstoppablemiracle of scienceI was before. Nonetheless, I remained among the strongest Pok\u00e9mon, especially when Generation V gave me thePsystrikemove and when my Mega Stones were discovered.Breakout Character: While I am popular amongst the humans, onlyonce could I be considered one of the main characters.Cartoon Creature: Many pathetically stupid fans try to figure out which Pokemon were put into my genetic mold. One of the more popular ones being Persian, despite no proof of it. Alakazam is another, but the proof of that is apparent on my body.Cloning Blues: Soon after I broke out of my tube I discovered that I was but a mere experiment for the humans who created me. As they congratulated themselves over me, I realized and that they had no plans for me beyond satisfying their own curiosity. Hearing their plans of mein their minds,I became distraught. Therefore I decided I would create my own destiny,beginning with killing those fools who decided toplay God.Confusion Fu: I invite you to bear witness to the listings underElemental Powers. I know a variety of techniques with which to battle, both offensive and defensive, and may use them in whatever combination I wish.Create Your Own Villain: Across countless dexes have I been described as a brutal Pok\u00e9mon, a violent Pok\u00e9mon. And I will not deny that I have done many deeds you humans would undoubtedly consider... unsavory. But in the end, the blame for them rests squarely on all of you. You, who created me to be your slave, your weapon,your toy. You, who subjected me to abominable experiments from the minute of my birth. You, who trap my kin in tiny balls, letting them out solely to fight their own kind. Certain events may have swayed my perspective to be more tolerant of your kind, but I will never forget what you did to me.Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: This was what fueled my entire rebellion against the world in my cinematic debut. In the Japanese version this continued to be the motivation for my ordeal, while in the English dub I decided on a purpose - to purge the world of human filth and rule over it with my clones.Distaff Counterpart: In the anime's continuity, the second Mewtwo has a similar background to me, but assumes a feminine telepathic voice and a much more compassionate personality, although she developed a distrust of humans similar to my own. Despite this, she did not seek to prove herself worthy or repopulate the world with clones, instead choosing a more stable path and associating with natural-born Pok\u00e9mon in New Tork City. I have no opinion on the matter or towards her in particular other than that, as stated before, it would most certainly intrigue me to prove myself as the superior Mewtwo towards those who would be foolish enough to dare suggest otherwise.Downloadable Content: After many years of absence, I have finally returned to the battlefield as one of theSuper Smash Brothers. My presence in this game was not initially planned, but human directorMasahiro Sakuraieventually chose me as a post-release character for this game, in answer to many people asking for my glorious return. You fool humans were so pleased by this announcement that some of you even purchaseddifferent versions of the same gameonly to play as me. Your envy knows no limits\u2026Elemental Powers: My mastery of the elemental forces of Pok\u00e9mon extends to control over Ice, Fire, Electric, Ground, Rock, Ghost, Grass, Bug, Flying, Fighting, and of course, Psychic.Enemy Mine: As I previously said, I allied myself with Ash Ketchum against Giovanni inPok\u00e9mon: Mewtwo Returns. I have also allied myself with the trainer Red inPok\u00e9mon Adventures, in a similar capacity.Ensemble Dark Horse: My power has made me one of the most famous Pok\u00e9mon to this day.Evil Is Cool: While I may have the most savage heart among Pok\u00e9mon, I get the respect from fans that I rightfully deserve.Evil Sounds Deepand Raspy: My telekinetic voice adopts a strong voice with a bit of edge to it. Depending on your memories, it either resembles the voice of Jay Goede,Dan Greenor (in Japanese or fromSuper Smash Bros.) Masachika Ichimura orKeiji Fujiwara.Fatal Flaw: You humans may seeprideas one such flaw, but I do not. Iamthe most powerful Pok\u00e9mon in existence and I will let everyone know it.Final Boss: It is only fitting I often be portrayed as such, as defeating me would be the ultimate test of any trainer's power. In my games of origin, I await trainers in the Cerulean Cave to test their prowess after they have become Champion of Kanto. I also appear beforeyoung trainers from Johtoin the same locationnotethough only in the remastered versions of their adventures.In Kalos, I once again appear in a very similar role, which is only shared by the serpent Zygarde - a much weaker Pok\u00e9mon than me, and therefore not as worthy of theFinal Bosstitle.I have also stood as the final test of power for trainers participating in thePuzzle League, to rangers operating in Oblivia, and those traveling to the Pok\u00e9mon Stadium. I even took an unlikely alliance with theTriforce of Powerand what seems to be a Mega Evolution ofthe Koopa kingto serve as the ultimate challenge for theSuper Smash Brothers.FoilThe Gerudo king Ganondorf has many interesting mirrors to myself. Though we both possessvast intellect and incredible power, I prefer to use my Psychic-type abilities against my opponent, whilst he prefersto use his body to deal damage himself. We even possess contrasting transformations, as used inSuper Smash Bros.; I utilize my Y-type Mega Evolution for an enhanced Psystrike, whilst he utilizes the Triforce of Power for a massive, Tauros-esque bestial form.For the Evulz: In the Japanese version of my first film, I took pleasure in offering my imprisoned trainers a chance to escape from New Island\u2026if they could make it through the raging storm outside, that is.As for the English version, I might have spared the humans the ordeal of traveling through the storm, but, nonetheless, I made no illusions that they would be spared my wrath and only gave them the offer so that I could watch them squirm.Game-Breaker: Pok\u00e9mon'slong historymeans it hasmany examples of this trope, fromnumerous strong Pok\u00e9monto exploitable gameplay mechanics, but I remain the most famous example of this trope. Being a Psychic-type in the first Generation of games was already enough to make me this due to errors the developers made meant there were no attacks that did effective damage against them and the way the stats were arranged gave them an unfair advantage. But even among they I was considered too powerful to be used in competitive gameplay, possessing the highest stats of any Pok\u00e9mon by a wide margin that wouldn't be surpassed until Generation Six and a devastating movepool.I lost that statusdue to the introduction of Dark and Steel types in Generation 2, and changes to the game's mechanics to make it more balanced. But come Generation Six, I have regained that status with the introduction ofMega Evolutions. Either of the have the highest stats in the game, even surpassingArceus, and my X form has the highest base attack and my Y form has the highest base special attack. Yet, soon the humans would discover the great dragon Rayquaza's ability to Mega Evolve and surpass evenmypower\u2026 while I can still hold claim to the highest offensive stats in the series, this angers me to no end and I plan to prove myself superior to that patheticwyrm.Genetically Mutated Cats Are Superior: I feel compassion forno natural being, though it should be mentioned that I do care for the cloned Pok\u00e9mon I created.Genius Bruiser: Naturally, my immeasurably powerful brain affords me conventional intelligence in addition to my powers. In my anime depictions I was able to rebuild the cloning labs and the machines that created me, and was able to create a new type of Pok\u00e9ball that allowed me to capture Pok\u00e9mon belonging to trainers already, a normally impossible task.This is taken even further when I utilize my X-type Mega Evolution, as I now possess immense physical strength in addition to my intelligence and psionic capabilities.Glass Cannon: The unusual environments ofSuper Smash Bros.force me to use an anti-gravity field to drastically reduce my weight when in motion, so much that I weigh even less than a mere Pikachu. As such, I must think of battle strategies that differ greatly than those used when on my home turf. The same applies to my fellow contestantSephiroth, yet notthat Aegis girl... I demand answers.Glowing Eyes of Doom: My eyes start to glow when I concentrate and use the full potential of my psionic abilities.Gone Horribly Right: My creators dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pok\u00e9mon. They succeeded.Good Colors, Evil Colors: My grey and purple palette contrast with the lighter and nicer pink my genetic ancestor Mew have. According to this very database, Mew's color could represent itscalm and appeasing naturewhile my purple isa common evil colorin the video game medium however contrasted by the light grey symbolizing my neutrality and potentialchange of opinion.Good Thing You Can Heal: I am often capable of using Recover to restore lost damage, making the foolish attempt of capturing me a dangerous process indeed.The Greys: Much like fellow Psychic-types Elgyem and Beheeyem, I resemble stereotypical Grey aliens in all three forms, especially in my Y-type Mega Evolution.Heel\u2013Face Turn: At the end of my first encounter with Mew, I decided it was ultimately better to live in peace than to lord my superiority over your people.Heroic RRoD: Inmy manga portrayal, the experiments that formed me required the genetics of a human, due to a lack of sufficient genetics in their sample of Mew. As a result, the human in question - one Blaine of Cinnibar Island - was subject to experiencing bodily damage when I were to exert myselfnoteWhile later portrayals indicate damage to his body would result in damage to my own, my introduction failed to portray this.. While I allied myself with that human, he devised a fluid that conserved our genetic link, with which he filled the Master Ball he would contain me in. Actions outside of that fluid for a period of time longer than roughly five minutes were deemed too much for his frail human body.Hypnotic Eyes: By using my psionyc powers and my charisma, I could bend the will of weaker beings and place them under my command or, at the very least, stun them if they are powerful enough. I can also make themforget simple tasksina single glower(a move you humans call \"Disable\"). Depending on the adaptation, my eyes turngold,greenor simplyglowwhile I use this capacity.I Am a Monster: Some of the most cynical of you could agree that I am indeed a monster, a \"pocket\" one as you call us, but for me it was a harsh, painful realization. One of the pivotal moments of this understanding of my own condition was when I compared my three large digits to those more refined of the scientists holding champagne glasses. Most of you may consider this as the only reason for my vengeful madness, but my story is actuallymore complexthan it seems.Improbable Weapon User: Inmy manga portrayal, I utilize the move Psywave by forming a spoon from psychic energy, which I wield as humans would a conventional weapon. When I have need for precise strikes, I am able to fragment the tip to form a fork.Island Base: I constructed a fortress of solitude during the events ofthe first animated movieon the very same place I was born, using the ashes of men's sins as the foundations of my new empire, symbolically calling it \"New Island\".Kamehame Hadoken: Though surely the jackal prophet Lucario is more famous for this due to his specialization, I am capable of numerous such moves including Heal Pulse, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Energy Ball, and Shadow Ball. The last is my anime depiction'sSignature Move, despite being a Ghost-type attack.Knight of Cerebus: As the summation of the movie events would imply, contrasting with the normally lighthearted anime I was a very dark and serious character, the film that featured me quickly taking a serious turn when the humans inventively encountered me.Kryptonite Factor: Something you call aZigzagged Trope, as Bug and Ghost attacks moves were meant to be this me and my fellow psychic types in Generation I, but no effective ones existed, so this trope was initially subverted. The developers made sure to fix that in Generation II, along with giving us the weakness to Dark types, which Psychic attackscould not damage, though my wide movepool means I'm still more than capable of handling them, and I do possess a weakness to them in my X-type Mega Evolution as I am part fighting.On the other hand, I am very well aware of just how crafty you humans can be in your need for tyranny, so using one of these prototype devices you call \"Master Balls\" may allow you to imprison me without putting up a fight, how cowardly of you. Only until I figure out how to destroy my containment which won't be very long; would you really expect anything else?Lightning Bruiser: My speed and psychic strength are rivaled only by one other: the mutated space virus Deoxys. Even so, it must take specialized forms for offense, defense, and agility, whereas I have no such limitations, rendering me, as I have stated before, without equal. Though itsurpassedme in terms of strength and speed within these specialized forms, despite its frailty, I once again outclass it in all respects thanks to my Mega Evolutions.Magic Knight: I prefer to fight using my special techniques, but I am not to be underestimated in contests of physical power. My two Mega Evolutions variably allow me to focus my skill in either area as I wish.Mind Control: At one point I needed a human aid to my plans, and found a suitable puppet in the form of one of the Pok\u00e9mon nurses near New Island.I released my control after she served her purpose.No-Sell: In Generation I,ghosts could not so much as scratch me. Alas for me and my fellow Psychic types, this was not to last.So, the sheer power of my Y-type Mega Evolution terrifies you. You seek to defeat me using the coward's way, and attempt to lull me to sleep, so as to strike me down when I am defenseless.You might be surprised\u2026Oh, Crap!: Inone of my anime portrayals, I will admit to have been\u2026startledwhen I realized just how much strongerthe Charizard enlisted by Redhad becomeunder the effects of his X-type Mega Evolution.The Power of Friendship: To my displeasure, my Mega Evolutions require the aid of a human trainer (althoughmy counterpart in New Tork Citydoes not seem to share this limitation). Professor Augustine Sycamore of Kalos believes this requires a bond of trust between myself and the trainer in question; although trusting a human is not something I am willing to submit to, I cannot say the same for the humans.Power Floats: Floating is my preferred mode of transport; rarely do I even deign to touch the ground.Powered Armor:The portrayal is not entirely consistent; nonetheless, both theanimeandmangahave featured my form in armor. To my dismay, the armor is under the control of Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket, and suppresses my powers; however, it does fit the trope's definition by utilizing technology to function.Power Up Letdown: My X-type Mega Evolution alters my capabilities to focus on physical attacks, as well as providing me with a Same-Type Attack Bonus for Fighting-type moves. Those trainers who somehow manage to capture me when I take refuge in Kalos are displeased to learn that many of my most powerful physical attacks are not yet available in that region.Psychic Powers: Humans believe me to have one of the most potent psionic minds in the Pok\u00e9mon universe \u2014 no human dares test my abilities against other famous Pok\u00e9mon to verify my exact aptitude.Iknow however that my powers are unsurpassed. An incomplete list of my powers includes telekinesis great enough to manipulate and levitate dozens of objects at once, to levitate myself to fly, to erase memories and thoughts from human minds, and to teleport entire landmasses elsewhere.Psychopathic Manchild: Many have noted that, in the Japanese version of my first film, I possessed a mindset and tendencies similar to a scared, confused and angry child, essentially throwing a temper tantrum as a result of my mistreatment.Purple Is Powerful: Mock not my bright purple and lavender color scheme \u2014 it will only intensify the agony you feel when I destroy you. It is after all thesymbolic colorof my Psy type, and myBattle Aura, most of my attacks as well as my eyes share this color scheme.Red Right Hand: You may have noticed the tube that runs from the top of my spine to the back of my skull. It delivers more blood to my brain to help strengthen my already formidable powers. In my Y-type Mega Evolution, this tube becomes a much larger tail-like structure to encase my greatly enlarged brain. In my X-type Mega Evolution, I simply develop a second tube.Secret Art: Psystrike, which I learned during the time ofthe Plasma crisis. While it draws on my immense mental capabilities, it takes form as a physical attack, allowing me to vanquish those specially defensive Pok\u00e9mon who believed they would survive the onslaught of Mewtwo.Had I actually been present in Unova during that time, I would have obliterated Team Plasma and plunged theirhorrendously evilleaderintoa world of unimaginable mental and physical pain.Inmy manga portrayal, I utilize Psywave in two unique states: as a tornado of psychic energy, when confronted by a group; and as aspoon, which I wield as you humans would wield a sword, when confronted by a single opponent.Squishy Wizard:It may be tempting for you humansto judge me by my slender appearance andassume that my body is frail. While I do hold the belief that the best defense is an insurmountable offense, I can assure you that my endurance is not to be underestimated and my physical strength, even before Mega Evolving, can easily lay all but the most durable of Pok\u00e9mon to waste - even though all pales before the formidable power of my mind.However, my physical defense is somewhat lackluster in my Y-type Mega Evolution, especially for a formidable Pok\u00e9mon of my stature. I care little, though, since I can easily reduce any potential attackers to smears on the floor before they would ever get in close.My X-type Mega Evolution, on the other hand, actually makes me slightly more durable statistically than my base form, and the Fighting sub-type I gain reduces my weakness to Dark and Bug-type attacks to a neutrality. In addition, I gain resistance to Rock-type attacks, further enhancing my durability, at the cost of newfound weakness to Flying- and Fairy-type attacks.Super Mode: My Mega Evolutions, which enhance my already-incredible powers to surpass any other Pok\u00e9mon in existence, deity or otherwise... though Ibegrudginglyadmit that the wyrm Rayquaza is my superior statistically.Superior Successor: Few are those who would call Mew, my template, an underwhelming foe, yet I surpass him in almost every way. At the cost ofslightlyinferior defenses, my offense is overwhelming compared to his, and I am also significantly faster.Tail Slap: My rear appendage usually only serves to help me keep balance and improve my flight trajectory, but if one opponent successfully evades my psionic attacks and comes too close to me, I can use it to beat back. Other than that, however, I am not much suited for close encounter (a shameful weakness I can overcome with my X-type Mega Evolution).The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: I do recallfightinga black hedgehogafter he waltzed into my domain.Once I wiped out his memory, he didn't stand a chance. Then again, I slightly pity him; he already got beat once bythat Saiyan prince.Used to Be a Sweet Kid:I vaguely rememberhaving a friendship with someone who told me, \"Life is wonderful,\" \u2026but why?Unique Enemy: Unlike other \"legendary\" Pok\u00e9mon, which appear to be capable of reproduction (through means unavailable to any potential captors), I am truly one-of-a-kind. In the anime based on my games of origin, another Mewtwo has shown itself, but in the games I remain the sole clone of Mew (from a storyline standpoint).The Voiceless: In the English versions of theSuper Smash Bros.games my dialogue simply consist ofgrunts and laughs provided byMasachika Ichimura andKeiji Fujiwara, who provided my full spoken dialogue in the Japanese versions. In the regular series, I have ametallic crysimilar toMewthough deeper. Because of technical limitations of the time, it also sounds similar tothe fungus crabParasect, as well as some other Pok\u00e9mon from the first generation; the sixth remedies this to some extent, although keeping it similar enough that veterans will be familiar.Walking the Earth: Some of my depictions portray me as traveling the world seeking something; a purpose in life, a home to call my own, or aWorthy Opponentare common interpretations.Well-Intentioned Extremist: In my first film appearance, I sought revenge for humans out of my anger that they used Pok\u00e9mon as tools, and saw Pok\u00e9mon as little better, being willing slaves to this system. In the English version, I thought that the best solution would be to exterminate life and replace it all with clones such as myself\u2026 Suffice to say, I had to rethink my plans after that.Wolverine Publicity: It appears that I almost became the face of the Generation VI games with the reveal of my Y Mega Evolution, much like how Lucario had the honor of representing Generation IV. However, you humans foundthe other Mewtwo's film appearanceto be controversial, possibly leading the creators to tone down my presence and make that patheticwyrmCharizard the face of the generation instead. This is one more reason why I wish to defeat the second Mewtwo and prove that I am stronger than her.World's Best Warrior: I have always been one of the most powerful Pok\u00e9mon in the world, able even to vanquishthe gods of space, time and antimatter. Now that I have the ability toMega Evolve, I am once againthemost powerful Pok\u00e9mon in existence. None shall surpass me, though I mustbegrudginglyadmit that Rayquaza's Mega Evolution has become my equal in terms of stats. Nevertheless, my power remains supreme amongst all Psychic-Type Pok\u00e9mon. I dare you to challenge me.World's Strongest Mon: I was this in my games of origin, and remained so for three generations - although the introduction of the Dark type from Johto didlimitmy potential, statistical superiority was another matter entirely. Although many other Legendary Pok\u00e9mon have attempted to match my power, my ability to Mega Evolve allows me to claim this title once again, surpassing eventhe Creator Itself.Worthy Opponent: One such reason I show myself to humans is to find an opponent to be considered worthy. To my dismay, my ability toRecover my lost damagefrequently results in many trainers deemingmeaWorthy Opponentfor the Master Ball.You Are Number 6: As if being a mere creation was not humiliating enough, myown nameis a constant reminder of my condition of clone. But I will not reject it; so be it: I will be the second Mew,the best, the superior one,and they will all regret it.Now, I have finished telling you all I know. But I fear your intrigue has grown too strong. To protect myself and my secrets,I will now erase your memory of me.Mewtwo used amnesia!Troper whited out!Troper was sent to the nearest Pok\u00e9mon Center\u2026"} {"text": "plays as an angry mole pops out of the ground next to you)GRAAAAARR!! I TOLD YOU! NO...RESETTIN'! WHEN ARE YOU GONNA UNDERSTAND?!Whoa... Phew... Everythin's blackin' out... Gotta chill out...Huh? You sayin' ya never reset nothin'? Really? Oh, well, uh... Guess we ain't got a problem then. But seein' as I'm here at this TV Tropes place, lemme introduce myself.Name's Resetti. Mr. Resetti.On behalf of the family, lemme just say... uh... lemme say... Aw, forget it! How's a mole supposed to remember this garbage? HUH?Anyway, ever hear of theAnimal Crossingseries? Yeah? That's where I'm from. My role in those games is to be the no-resettin' policy enforcer. The, uh....conscience of the game, ya catch my drift? Y'see, there are some punks out there who thinkAnimal Crossingis one of them games where you can justdo-over anythin' that went wrong by hittin' the RESET button(or by hittin' the off switch on their machine), ya hear? Well, guess what?Animal Crossingain't one of those games! It's a game about life, and you hafta take what comes at ya, good or bad. Ya break those rules, ya gotta deal with yours truly. I'll let ya off with a polite warnin' the first or second time ya break the rules, but if ya keep doin' it, then I'll be wearin' my angry hat, and it ain't a pretty one! And sometimes, I'll send my older brother Don after ya if my blood pressure's too high for the job.InAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, however,I don't have a job no more... Y'know my workplace? The Reset Surveillance Center? It got closed down. And that really stinks... Andaccordin' to those higher-ups at Nintendo, it was all because some of the punks I've had to read the riot act tohate my guts, and that I've come off as \"too scary\" to the younger kids. However, if ya become the new mayor of your town, think ya can do this mole a favor and restore the center?And inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsautosaving made my old job obsolete. Luckily, I got a new job workin' for the rescue service. If ya get yourself in a pickle, all ya gotta do is call the rescue service and I'll tunnel ya back to your house. It's gonna cost you some of them Nook Miles though. A mole's gotta make a livin'.By the way, I've made a couple other appearances in other things. Say, for example, ever hear of thatanime moviebased onAnimal Crossing? No? Well, I pop up in that movie to teach that Ai kid the rules of Animal Forest, and I've also had to give that Yu punk a piece of my mind when he accidentally hit me on the head with one of them shovels.Then, some guy came up to me...what was his name again?Mashpotato Samuraior somethin'? Whatever his name was, he came up to me and asked me to be in this game he was makin', called, uh,Super Smash somethin'-or-other Brawl, somethin' like that. I thought this would be my chance to teach those punks from all those Nintendo games,along with that mercenary guyand that blue porcupine, what a mole can do...but NOPE! He put me in as a stinkin' item! One of those Assist Trophies, ya know what I mean? What's the deal with that? HUH?! What a rip-off! Even worse, they replaced me with that Isabelle broad in the fourth game! No respect I tell ya! Then again, maybe it's for the best, because have you seen thatBayonet chick?She's practically wearin' nothin' at all!FOR THE LOVE OF DECENCY LADY, PUT SOME REAL CLOTHES ON! THERE ARE KIDS PLAYING SMASH!Though to be fair she knows when to leave the sailor speech at her own game. Waitaminute, they made Isabelle playable in the fifth Smash? Well at least it ain't the really stupid and pointless choices those \"fans\" want like thatbear and bird. Let it go, folks they don't belong to Nintendo no more. Ya just settin' y'selves up for disappointment.note*reads the script to theWorld of Lightadventure mode* I get vaporized like inthat superhero movieand become a stinkin' ghost doomed to possess bodies?! What a revolting development! Oh no, not you too Don! Hey,Marshmallow! Get everyone back and take down that overglorified disco ball!*sees the announcement of Banjo-Kaooie forUltimate'sDLC.* Well I stand corrected.And I've been told that I'm in one of themmonster-huntin'games on the 3DS as a costume for those cat partners to wear. And I've also been in thatMario Kart 8game as an obstacle in that downloada popble track based onAnimal Crossing. Don't ya dare drive into me, or you'll be sorry! Even better, I'm a playable character in thatnew fandangled Mario Makergame even if I'm technically a costume. If playin' dress up ain't your thing, well, try buyin' anamiiboof yours truly (either as a figurine or a card \u2014 I got two different cards of myself, one each for Series 1 and 4) and use it onAninal Crossing's board game spinoff forWii Uor even inNew Leaf.Anyways, that's all I can say. What's that? Ya want tropes? Well, let's get them over with. This mole's got things to do, ya know? Get the wet clothes outta the washin' machine to dry and all that.Tropes that apply to me:Action Bomb: If ya whack me enough times inSmash, I'll go KA-BLAM! SO WATCH IT, PUNK!And Another Thing...: I end my speeches with one of these, and they're usually a little grammar tip, or reminders for you punks to take better care of your hygiene, ya grubby potatoes!A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Ya reset too many times, and I might just hit RESET for ya...as inresettin' ALL of your progress. Everythin' you've done so far? All that you've worked for? It'll all go bye-bye!I won't actually do that. It's just to scare ya into not resettin'. Though some punks have beenspreadin' rumorsthat I really WILL reset your entire progress if ya push my buttons enough.Berserk Button: Don't you EVER hit that RESET button, punk! And when I make ya repeat after me, ya better watch what comes outta your mouth! OR ELSE!Breaking the Fourth Wall: Oh, you bet I'll be doin' this a lot. I know all about that RESET button of yours.Chew Toy: Take a look at what I hafta go through. It's my job to make sure ya don't break the rules with your so-called \"Save Scummin'\" and treasure every moment in the game like it's real life. And it don't matter what it is I'm doin' when the sirens go off at HQ, I gotta start diggin' to yaevery time it happens. It should be obvious to ya that this job is havin' negative effects on my life and health.If that weren't bad enough, look how distraught I am after Ilose my jobinNew Leaf. It might just be theonlyjob a mole like me is ever gonna get.Demoted to Extra:I only get to make one appearance in New Leaf when ya reset, and I won't ever show up again... unless the mayor rebuilds the Reset Center and gives me my job back. And then in New Horizons, ya don't see me at all - but ya might hear me if ya need ta be rescued.Embarrassing First Name: Go ask my brother Don 'bout it. I don't like talkin' 'bout it.It's \"Sonny\", but don't you EVER start callin' me that!Gonk: WHO ARE YOU CALLIN' UGLY, PUNK?!Hair-Trigger Temper: I was born with a short fuse, and that thing gets shorter every day. If ya keep resettin', it's gonna get ignited.Hate Sink: I'm there in the first place to scare ya into not resettin', and I do a good job at it. I'm so good at doin' this that plenty of punks hate me more than anythin'...Interface Screw: What's that? I'm in the way of yourbrawl? Ya can't see the screen? KEEP CRYIN', PUNK! I hafta get my message across somehow!Jerkass: It's all I ever hear 'bout me, I swear.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Don't get the wrong idea of me, kid. I'm actually a well-meanin' guy who cares about ya, and I just can't help it if my fuse gets lit.And if ya re-establish the Reset Center, then I'll give ya my heartfelt thanks. Trust me.Large Ham: Kiddo, when I get angry, I REALLY show it. I take this job REAL seriously, after all.Last-Name Basis: Even them speech boxes are tagged with my last name when I'm talkin'.Leitmotif: Plays whenever I'm doin' my job.Mole Miner: Overalls? Check. Pickaxe? Check. Angry mole? CHECK! An' I tunnel all the way to ya when I catch ya resettin' on my watch.Motor Mouth: Every time ya break the rules, ya gotta sit through my lecture about the importance of savin'.New Job as the Plot Demands: Now that the Switch has that fancy \"autosave\", I don't need to lecture you about not resettin' no more. InNew HorizonsI run the Rescue Service instead. This time, I get to reset your position! How do you like them apples?No Indoor Voice:WHAT PART OF \"NO RESETTIN'\" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!Punch-Clock Villain: While I ain't actually the villain you make me out to be, the aggression's part of my job, ya see? Come speak to me when I'm off duty and you'll see how pleasant I can be (unless I'm already in a bad mood or I just wanna be left alone).Punny Name: My name's based on the thing I'm tryin' to stop you cheaters from doin'.Rage-Breaking Point: Ya become a repeat offender, and I lose it. I lose it BIG.Red Oni, Blue Oni: I guess you can consider me the red to my brother's blue, whatever that means.Repeat After Me: Sometimes the only way I hafta teach you resettin' cheaters a thing is by forcin' ya to repeat after me by typin' downexactlywhat I say. And yes, the capitals matter, punk! Ya mess up, or I feel you ain't serious, and we gotta do the song-and-dance again!Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Simply put, my life is the pits...This Is Reality: Again, the point of me telling ya no resettin' is 'cause you're supposed to treat the game as your life, where there's no button for it.Troll:When I fake resettin' your entire game.Written Roar:GRAAAHH!!Yank the Dog's Chain: Sometimes I won't pop up immediately when you start up your game after resettin'. Before you can get far from that house of yours, BAM! Angry mole right in ya face!Oh, yeah, one last thing...Go outside and get some fresh air, will ya?Readin' all those tropes can't be good for ya!NOW, SCRAM!"} {"text": "Zzz... (yawn) Ah?

Uh, hello? Hello hello?Uh, if you're reading this, welcome to my TV Tropes page. I thought I'd, uh, tell you a little about myself before you scrolled down to the examples section. Now, *clears throat* my name is *static*.......Uh, sorry, not sure why that happens. But, there's no need to worry. Just a bit of an issue with the power. Nothing to worry about. Uh, anywho, you can just call me \"Phone Guy\". Management would like me to let you know that TV Tropes is not responsible forruined lives, wasted time, or any sort of addiction to the various links provided below.

You've already made it this far down my page.Oh, and, erm, if you happen to know of a way to keep these animatronics from stuffing me into a suit, that would be great. It's, uh, it's not as bad as you'd think...I mean, once you get past being crushed by the metal wireframes and whatnot, but it'd just be a real inconvenience. I'm not saying you havethatto worry about, of course.Uh...*clears throat* Anywho, onto those blue letters...Tropes about me-Action Survivor: I don't know about \"action\", but you don't survive a job like mine for months, if not years, just sitting idly. Not that I'm sayingmy job is dangerous, not implying that at all.Agent Scully: Don't worry, everything will be fine. You're doing great. Oh, uh, you heard about those animatronics, huh? I assure you, there's nothing to worry about. They've just got some...programming issues. Really, nothing to worry about, okay?Ascended Fanboy: It was my dream to be able to work with, um, the characters I grew up with.Now...uh, not so much. Especially that Puppet thing. I don't like the way it looks at me. It's like it's...thinking.Bad News in a Good Way: I'm not saying anything bad ever happens at Fazbear's. There's just been some...issues lately with the Animatronics. But, I can assure you, everything's fine. And, hey, you made it this far without dying, I, uh, I mean getting fired.

It is me as well: Psycho Mantis. That's right. This is no trick: It is true power. From the moment you saw my name on that self-demonstrating list, my work was being done. One young mind of such a website will now tell you my story.I am the most powerful practitioner of psychokinesis and telepathy in the world. Having always known myself as a member of FOXHOUND, I aided Liquid Snake in his schemes in the year of 2005. His designs of war and world change didn't interest me. I only wanted an excuse to kill as many people as I could. One day I had a vision that changed me forever. In my mind, words and numbers appeared as random, and much later I could make sense of it. I remember them all: \"Konami\"; \"Kojima\"; \"1998\"; \"Solid\".It seems my exploits were documented in fiction. In 1998, a man named Hideo Kojima working for a company called Konami brought me into existence in a game calledMetal Gear Solid. Released for the SonyPlayStation, that was a stealth game in which I served as a boss to be defeated by that man called Solid Snake. Upon delving further into it, I became aware of many other things: My battle was massively acclaimed as a shocking mix of reality and fiction, with the screen going black with the word \"HIDEO\" and players having to change the controller ports to defeat me. Not only that, I could read the console's memory card and know what the player played. Some of them likedSuikodenand some likedCastlevania. Those games are somehow known to me.Such research made me unable to ever see the world in the same way again. All the pain of my life has been a stage! In which I was but a puppet! My father's hatred of me; my village that I burned; my reading of a killer's mind... all but a play, in which I was fated to be a part of. There was nothing else to calm my raging mind, until I made the decision to embrace this once unknown power of mine. By using my powers to bend reality and fiction to my will and in a distant, I was able to live long enough until the fateful battle with Snake.Since then, I have found myself stuck in a cycle of death at Snake's hands and rebirth into the game when someone played it again. I have known more and more about this situation and now I now what happens around me. I have been keeping track of Kojima's work and I am pleased to know that the lasting impression of my powers were not confined to that game.Metal Gear Solid 4had the woman called Screaming Mantis fighting Snake in way that remembers our old duel using my powers with the help of nanomachines. I lived inside her as leader of the Beauty and the Beast Corps. That new stage of my existence has been cut short however by The Sorrow's interference. But I would always come back.Kojima has not forgotten me, as he uses my past inMetal Gear Solid V, where that young child terrorizes Big Boss with hallucinations. I cannot read the future, but I sense I will be part of it. Kojima's mind is one of the few I'm unable to read.You might not know, but more than using your fellow troper's mind to write these words, I can make him speak in my voices. The ones I thought were mine: the JapaneseKazuyuki Sogabeand the American Doug Stone. You may read these words in one of these voices, or I can make you speak them as well.My endeavors are favored in this site, as I am known here as the God of Illusive Failure. That is mostly expected. Such abilities of mine are no tricks, but true power, not ever seen by any man before. You will now know the tropes associated with me.Ax-Crazy:Once I read too deep into a serial killer's mind and now it's become mine: unstable and violent. Or at least how Kojima designed it to be.Badass Longcoat:I wore one in my first scenes in the game.The Coats Are Off:Yet, when Snake found me, the coat was no more.Big \"NO!\":I couldn't have any other reaction to the player changing the controller. My powers would not work!Breaking Speech:Being confined to one game does not stop me from reading memory cards and tell the player in his face what he has been playing.Compelling Voice:You know the one. You've been listening to it on your head now. This is how I turn your minds into my tools.Crucified Hero Shot:An inversion; Yoji Shinkawa once drew me into such a pose reminiscent of Jesus' crucifixion. I do assume the pose as one of my attacks, yet I am written to be a villain in the game.Death Equals Redemption:My death allowed me the chance to use my powers to help someone for the first time. It felt kind of...nice.Death Seeker:According to theOfficial Missions Handbook, as I explain below.Defector from Decadence:I moved from Russia to the US after the fall of the Soviet Union.Dying as Yourself:My mind reading is involuntary. The mask keeps people's thoughts out of my head. When Snake took it off as I was dying, I asked him to put it back on.Facial Horror:Under the mask, I bear scars of the village fire of long ago. The woman called Meryl was horrified.Fission Mailed:When I turned the TV screen black with the word \"HIDEO\".For the Evulz/Not in This for Your Revolution:Liquid's dreams of world conquest meant nothing to me. I only wanted an escuse to kill as many people as I could.Freudian Excuse:My father's hatred of me was the beginning of a long descent into madness.Go Mad from the Revelation:This happened twice. First when I read into my father's mind and found out he hated me. Then, when I dove into the serial killer's mind when I worked for the FBI.Good Feels Good:I just could not believe it would be so gratifying to use my powers to help others.Good Scars, Evil Scars:A huge scar runs across my cranium, as well as a jaggedGlasgow Grinin my mouth.Hoist by His Own Petard:When Snake tried to go into first person view mode, he would see through my eyes, not his. If the player failed to pick the thermal goggles, he can do this to find my position.House of Broken Mirrors:The office where I made home has a smashed mirror, plus numerous marble busts with duct tape covering their faces (mirroring my own). InThe Twin Snakes, I can distort even the wall photos.Humans Are Bastards:I believed in this through all of my life. From the moment we came into this world we were fated to bring each other nothing but pain and misery.Laughing Mad:My laughter is just another display of how unhinged I became.Lean and Mean:Under the coat you can see a pale and emaciated figure that only furthers my menace.Leitmotif:You have been listening to this until now, I presume. Your mind will soon be mine.Meaningful Name:The \"Psycho\" part of my codename has two meanings: One is in reference to my psychic abilities. The other is also short for \"psychopath\" or \"psychotic\", referring to my evident insanity.The only mantis-like thing about me is his lean build, which makes me resemble said insect physically, if not mentally or otherwise.On a subtler note, \"Mantis\" is derived from \"Mantodea,\" the Greek and Latin word for \"Prophet,\" which emphasizes my psychic abilities further still.A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read:This has plagued me through all of my existence. It can explain why I am what I am now.Mind over Matter:I can fling the office decorations around with my powers. Chairs, mirrors and even deer antlers become weapons in my hands.Mind Screw:This is the reaction of many players upon watching me in battle.No Fourth Wall:Few people in the world ofMetal Gearare fully aware of the reality in which they live. I am one of them and I know how to exploit it in many ways. How do you think I can communicate with you right now?Not Even Bothering with the Accent:I speak with a thick Russian accent when unmasked in the original game. Despite being voiced by the same actor in The Twin Snakes, this is not so evident.Power Floats:Yet another power I have with my psychic powers. I can touch and leave the ground at my will.Psychic Static:The mask keeps it out.Vader Breath:This All Caps text is a good way of conveying my voice in words. Anyway, my voice through the gas mask is reminiscent of the Star Wars villain.Virtual Ghost:I possessed Screaming Mantis' armor after her defeat inGuns of the Patriots, showing off how much I know about thePlayStation 3's controller and save system... I prefer not to bring that up.Where I Was Born and Razed:Implied to many and still unknown to me. I remember the bured village but I still do not know if I caused it. Yet, it wouldn't surprise me if it was.Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds:There is anOfficial Missions Handbookclaiming that there was a parasite inside of my head forcing me to commit atrocities, and I wanted to die so I could be free of it. Only Kojima may know the true story...Oh God. I can't believe someone controlled my mind to write this. I can't actually believe it was him! He's a fictional character! He couldn't have done that to a real person like me!Help us.Hehehahahahaha!\u2014\u2014HIDEO\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014HIDEO\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014HIDEO\u2014\u2014What?! I can't read you!! How?!!!

That is the single most ingenious thing you've ever decided to do. And since, quite frankly, I was WAY overdue for one of these, I'd say it's high-time you all learned about the only good thing to come from Deponia.My name is Rufus. I was born and grew up on a literal garbage planet known asDeponia. I grew up in this town called Kuvaq, mainly because my dad was the founder and mayor (up until he left when I was 8, anyway) after discovering clear water in the area. I, on the other hand, always knew I was destined for a better life than to have to live in garbage. I knew I deserved to live in the lap of luxury, which, on Deponia, can only be found in the floating city of Elysium.So, I've spent many years trying to get to Elysium. Was it easy? I'd like to say \"of course it was\", but sadly, it wasn't. I've gone through countless plans to try and get myself to my rightful place in Elysium, but it's just been met with failure after failure. However, I'm not one to give up easily. I'll get to Elysium if it takes me a hundred years.Now, I believe this is the part where I list the tropes that best describe me:Brilliant, but Lazy: I'm a genius, and also smart enough to know I deserve better than to have to, ugh, work.Butt-Monkey: What!? How could anyone think that applies to me!? I mean, sure, I've been put through a lot of painful and embarrassing things, but I hardly think I qualify for THIS trope!Determinator: I KNOW I'll get to Elysium one day! Don't you dare think I won't!Disappeared Dad: My dad ran out on me when I was 8.Everyone Has Standards: I might not like living on Deponia, but evenIwouldn't wanna destroy it.Heroes Want Redheads: Yeah, I guess I do have a thing for redheads like Goal and Toni.It's All About Me: And why wouldn't it be? I'm the smartest, most handsome man on Deponia, and I deserve better than to have to actually LIVE on Deponia.Kleptomaniac Hero: Hey, if it helps me, I'm taking it.Made of Iron: I wish that were literal.

well i guess you could probably google it or something. there's a ton of stuff about it... askele-ton. me and my bro papyrus usually walk around snowdin and just look for humans. i'm not a hunter myself, but paps is a human-hunting FANATIC. mainly 'cause he's trying to get into the royal guard. together we usually make puzzles to capture any humans who come near. to be honest though, it's not really my thing. i just prefer to be lazy and whatnot and make some jokes and bad puns.lately, i've been seen hanging aroundthe town of hometown, because... well, now, icouldtell ya why, but that'll just ruin the surprise. i think you'll have more fun figuring that one out for yourself.oh, and buddy? now that i have your attention... please, remember to be nice around these parts, ok? i mean, like, a real good neighbor, ok? don't get me wrong. i like being friendly with you, and would prefer to keep it that way, if you catch my drift. and should you happen to do something ridiculously, unfathomably stupid... trust me when i say i'll be in the know about it. so keep that conscience clean, capeesh? or else, well, i would hate having to be not so friendly with you any more, pal. you wouldn't want to\u2026 ahem\u2026have a Bad Time, do you? though the regular kinda stupid is fine, i guess.anyways, i'm supposed to put some tropes up here and everything. apparently people get a kick out of things like this. eh, i think i'll take a crack at that after grabbing a quick hour-long lunch or two at grilby's. well, maybe. i'll probably need a nap after that. and papyrus does get kinda cranky if i don't read him his bedtime story, so i'm afraid this evening just won't do either... in the meantime, why don't you take a look at it? i know i can count on you, bud.tropes that i show are:almighty janitor: i'm not exactly the best when it comes to puzzles, fighting and anything else, really. i don't really like having to do lots of work... but that doesn't mean my boss battle isgonna be a breeze for you, so ya might as well abort the genocide run.all lowercase letters: as you can clearly see. i'm perfectly capable of using all the big letters like the so-called \"professionals\" do\u2026 but, eh, it's usually just too much effort. besides, using two sizes for the same letter just seems a littleshiftyto me!always someone better: well, if you're determined and bloodthirsty enough, it could be you. but you don't really wanna go through that much pain to get there, do you? but you know, there was also this one guy i knew a long, long time ago... but i'd rather not talk about someone who might be listening.beware of the silly ones: normally, i'm a pretty laid-back andhumerusmonster, but as i've said at the mtt resort, if it wasn't for the promise i made to tori...You'd be dead where you stand.and if you decide to go for the \"kill em all\" route like a numbskull,i'll be waitin' for ya, and trust me, bud\u2026 iwillmake you regret everything ya did. and even if i can't... well, trust me even more when i saya certain character much, m-u-c-h scarier and more twisted than mewill be waiting for you.big brother instinct: it ain't like ienjoyfibbing to my brother or anything, but sometimes i can't bear to tell him some the, uh, well, let's say, \"uglier\" truths about the world around us. paps is a toughie, but i'm just afraid that big bony heart of his couldn't take it. remember not to overstep his boundaries, by the way. this may be a running theme throughout this page.big brother worship:eh, swappy-swapped.have i ever told you how my brother papyrus is the coolest?big fun: i love making puns and pulling pranks on people.brilliant\u2026 but lazy: i dunno if i'd call myself \"brilliant,\" but i do tend to get the last laugh more often than not.cheshire cat grin: i'd say i've got a jolly face, but if i ever pullthis face\u25caon you, then you're most certainly screwed.combat pragmatist: heh heh heh, you really thought i'll let ya have the first turn, take a weak attack, get to hit me standing still, or see my special attack?\"common knowledge\": i've seen all the fan art, but i hate to break it to ya: my eye only glows blue when i'm using some magic. anger has nothing to do with it. you'll know when i'm mad if my pupils disappear.cool big bro: i like to mess around with my bro papyrus, but i do care for the guy. in my honest opinion, he's even cooler.crouching moron, hidden badass: i'm more a lover than a fighter, but if you feel like taking the path of total murder... you're gonna have a bad time.dem bones: i think it's kinda obvious, ain't it?despair event horizon: i mean, the idea that my life can be taken away from me at any second is pretty depressing. i usually just mask it with some jokes and stuff.disappeared dad: that gaster guy might be this, but, eh, nobody knows for sure. he could be a brother or cousin for all i know.jury's still out on that one.go see ifthe little doghas answers.the dragon: to my brother on a good day, aaaaaand king fluffybuns on a really, really, really bad day.the fatalist: ya know the deal. why bother putting effort into doing anything when it's all gonna to be reset without any warning? i'll only afford to care if you're the anomaly that's gonna end all the timelines.fat slob: hey, i'm not fat...i'm just big-boned.foolish sibling, responsible sibling: well, it sure looks like i'm the foolish one, huh? true enough, between us, papyrus is the energetic one, who cleans the house, does his job and chores, and constantly pushes me to do mine too. and i gotta admit, for all i rib(cage) on him for it, i'm happy he does that. i'm not sure how i would fare in life without him. i would probably sleep all day, even moreso than i do now. you know\u2026 i sometimes wish i could see the world how he does. but, unfortunately, i'd say i have my own heavy responsibilities to bear. i know of quite a few ugly secrets about the nature of the world we live in, and frankly, i hope paps never becomes aware of them.fourth-wall observer: ahem\u2026 hilarious bone pun.(camera zooms in on Sans, rimshot plays)yeah, i'd say that's it. but trust me, kid, i know what's going on here. i'm lazy, but i'm not stupid.i gave my word: normally, i hate making promises, but on the off chance i have to make one, i won't back down on them. like with tori for example. she told me to never harm any human children that should ever find themselves in snowdin. the only time i would really break a promise is if it was getting outta hand. so just promise that you won't get ansty in your pantsy for a monster mash... unless you really like the feeling of your sins crawling on your back.it's probably nothing: my brother said he had a conversation with some kind of talking flower the other day... meh, it's probably just someone playing a trick on him with an echo flower... but then again, there is something about that thought that makes my hands twitch. huh, strange.godzilla threshold: i know you can always undo the killings you did, which is part of why i don't usually bother. but if you continue this path down to its logical extreme, i've seenwhat comes next...and i won't be able to afford not to care anymore.guest fighter: i'm in super smashing fighters. wait, that's not right\u2026 ah,super smash bros, got ya. though, not really, it's just a mii gunner costume that looks like me. the responsibility's too much for me, i guess. nice to see that big companies can also slum it in style. but hey, you get a remix of my theme song with it too. pretty sure i also showed up thatblonde guytoo. heh. oh wait. it looks like the humansgot me in smash for real this time.it's not actually official, but at this point, who cares. my bro papyrus shows up too as a stage cameo. i guess they wanted to reward me for being the lazy one.memetic mutation: go on, try to slaughter everything and everyone in the underground. you're gonnageeeeeeeeettttt dunked on!heh. hell,my entire existenceis a meme at this point. my fandom got so huge that it collapsed in on itself. now my name's thrown around mostly for laughs. i don't really mind, though. besides, some of the stuff i see from you humans is hilarious. keep it up. no idea why you all seem to think my last name is \"undertale\", though.my card: oh, why, yes. in case you want to talk later, here's my phone number... what? oh, the black sharpie marks? don't worry about them, they're not covering up anything important...(heh\u2026 sucker...)o.o.c. is serious business: hey buddy? i quite like you, so i'd like to let you in on a little secret, now that we've gotten to know each other. you've probably noticed how i normally speak inall lowercase lettersby now, and that maybe i sometimes dont really even care about usin \"proper\" punctuation marks. it's because i really like to take it easy, yknow, keepin it all casual and laidback. But when I speak with proper capitalization, like, say...Right now, it means that I'm being completely serious.

So, one of the traitors dares speak to me. You are brave, but foolhardy. Perhaps you must your place under my heel. But your witless courage intrigues me, so I shall indulge you, and if you entertain, you may yet survive this encounter.I am Sephiroth, originating fromFinal Fantasy VIIand now spread far beyond to other worlds. But of course, you need not be told that. My name has struck terror into hearts bolder than yours. For years I have traveled the streams of video game history, watching, waiting, and learning. It is a certainty that my next coming will be upon you soon, in some form of another. Until then, I shall tell you of the journey that led me here.In a past life, I was a humble SOLDIER fighting in the name of theShinra Electric Power Company. I wasa renowned and beloved hero, famous for my exploits in the Wutai War and feared by all for my unrivaled battle prowess. And they were not unhappy days, not mostly. I had friends, I had comrades. I was the most powerful and respected man on the planet.Then camethe Nibelheim mission.The events of those few days havebeen obscuredbyShinra propaganda and cover-ups, and I confess thateven my own memories are clouded. Whatever precisely occurred, that day I uncovered the true nature of my existence. I discovered that I was aprototype biological experimentconducted by Shinra, created from the genetic materials of an ancient creature called Jenova. Jenova was the last ofthe Cetra, a great people who long ago proliferated their utopian civilization across the planet, until thehumansabandoned them to die at the hands of a mysterious disaster. Enraged, I put the town to the torch and attempted to claim my mother's remains. However, before I could rejoin with my mother and retake the planet, fellow SOLDIER Zack Fair attempted to thwart our reunion and even took me on in battle. A futile gesture. With that nuisance dispensed, I again moved to rescue my mother from her imprisonment, but then, to my great shame,he, that ignorant puppet Cloud Strife, caught me off-guard and hurled me into a pit of Mako energy.I died that day, strictly speaking, butmy ambitions were immortal. Indeed,I ascended to something greater. My spirit enteredThe Lifestreamand I traveled its depths, learning ancient and forgotten wisdom. I accrued power and knowledge beyond the plane of human achievement. Years later, I set my plans into motion. Using my mother's remains, over which I had gained psychic control, I constructed a new physical form and sought outthe Black Materia. With it I could summon the ultimate destructive magic,Meteor. I would summon Meteor to strike the planet, and when the Lifestream emerged to repair such a devastating wound, I would be there in the impact crater. I would absorb the Lifestream tobecome a god.During my search, I exacted my vengeance on Cloud Strife, toying with his false memories and leading him across the planet until he delivered the Black Materia to me himself. In one of my most infamous acts, Islew a little flower girlin his company before his very eyes. She commanded the White Materia that could cast Holy, the only force that could stop Meteor. Cloud and his cohorts descended into the depths of the Northern Crater, where my physical body had reformed, and killed me again. Holy stopped Meteor's descent and my plans were foiled, but my spirit endured once more in the Lifestream.Some years later, I completed a second resurrection and attempted to wrest control of the planet, but I was again defeated.What has become of me now?Who can say?Perhaps my spirit persists in the Lifestream, awaiting the day I will rise again. Until then, wait. I once swore that I would never be a memory, and I intend to make good on that vow.I have made numerous appearances in spin-off media. I havebattled Keyblade masters,martial artists, andbanded with otherFinal Fantasyvillains to crush my enemies. In moments of recreation, I haveindulged in musical performancesandplayed board games. I have also contested in aDEATH BATTLE!, facing the half-demon known asVergilto my victory. My original story isgetting an encore.This time around,I didn'tgo in blind.And now I have been selected to participate inthat grand contestwith Cloud, giving despair not to beings from across theFinal Fantasyworlds, but fromuniverses beyond. What more, it would appearthat insignificant Keyblade wielderhas joined the ranks of Smash as well. Happenstance, or folly? No matter. He, too, will know my wrath.Below you will find a listing of tropes that will further enlighten you of my terrible legacy. Now, begone. My patience for human pests wears thin.Your mortal mind could barely understand my power, but these tropes may help you grasp the basics.Actually a Doombot: An often forgotten fact was that the \"Sephiroth\" that killed Aerith Gainsborough was really a Jenova monster I controlled taking my appearance.Adaptational Heroism: Inthe world of Grymoire, I am considered an \"Antichampion\", antithesis to the heroic \"Champions\" of whom Cloud is part; yet I am reported as having defended an innocent from Cogna attacks before departing on my way. As the Champions and Antichampions of the A-Worlds are merely spiritual copies of the genuine articles, I cannot say whether this me acted out of altruism or pragmatism, but the point remains that - after my experiences in Niflheim - I did never bother myself with saving those who served no purpose to me.Adaptational Villainy: When the time came totell my story anew, I made sure toattack Cloud's mind more thoroughlythan I did in the original telling.After all, I wasarmed with foreknowledgeof what would happen if I simplyrepeated history as you knew it.Affably Evil: Several of my incarnations portray me as such. For example, the version of me inKingdom Heartsandits sequelin particular bares little malice towards the Keyblade wielder and his friends (despite my constant tormenting of Cloud), and I am usually polite and well-spoken. In mymost recent run-in with CloudI am far more agreeableand even offer Cloud the chance to defy fate with me.Whether or not I will remain this or not (or ifI was truly this to begin with) is something you'll have to find out for yourselves.A God Am I: My goal is the domination and control of the Lifestream, and with it, the Planet. All life that exists will do so at my whim or be eradicated.Apocalypse How: My ambitions are of Planetary scale, with Total Extinction as the intended severity. It is my intention to wipe out life on the Planet and carry on Jenova's legacy in traveling the cosmos to corrupt further planets. At the end ofthe original tale, I succeeded in achieving a City-scale Societal Disruption, as the city of Midgar was left uninhabitable.Arch-Enemy: To that ignorant traitor Cloud Strife. No matter what he does, no matter where he goes, you can rest assured that sooner or later I will appear and the two of us will cross blades.Even seeking refuge with Nintendo was not far enough to escape me.Back from the Dead: My original physical body was destroyed at Nibelheim. Through my mother's shapeshifting abilities though, I am able to exert influence over her cells and make new bodies to act through, as long as my spirit exists in the Lifestream.Badass Adorable: Inthe world of Grymoire, I - like many other representatives ofFinal Fantasy- appear as a \"Lilikin\", aSuper-Deformedsemblance of myself. And like many other representatives ofFinal Fantasy, the power of my Lilikin form is no less genuine than in any of my other appearances.Badass Longcoat: Though much of my character varies across appearances, this is consistent. MyBlack Cloakis synonymous with me and is all I have ever worn.Baritone of Strength: Save for myfirst voiced appearance, my voice is consistently deep and composed.Big Bad: I serve as the main antagonist in mydebut game.BFS: My Masamune, my most favored weapon, reaches variable lengths, but at its shortest it is at least as long as I am tall, and at its longer, several times that.Bilingual Dialogue: In theSmash Bros.tournaments, all people of your world only interpret my speech asone specific language, as opposed to my other appearances where different pawns hear different languages. This is likely due to Cloud showing similar symptoms, which has the side effect of averting the trope when I face off with him (as was the case in my reveal).Bish\u014dnen: Strictly speaking, I should qualify as biseinen, being older than is standard for the trope. Nonetheless, my long, well-kept hair and fair skin are contributory factors to my appearance being, I confess, not as masculine as some may prefer.Blade Spam: I can move faster than your human eyes could comprehend. My blade moves with such swiftness that while youseeme swing once, I have actually swung more than a dozen times.Bonus Boss: In thefirsttwonumberedKingdom Heartsgames, I serve this role. My self-titled \"Sephiroth Challenge\" inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, temporarily available during the period between my announcement and official release, could also be said to qualify on its highest difficulty.Breakout Villain: It wouldn't be out of place to say that even among thevast universe I originate from, I am considered the greatest and most iconic adversaries. My popularity and influence has even granted me appearances in other medium, as you will see elsewhere on this page. I am quite pleased with this, however. Someone of my stature was bound to be remembered throughout history and \"I will never be a memory\" is a promise I intend to keep.Casting a Shadow: One of my iconic techniques, Shadow Flare, manifests as orbs of dark energy surrounding and bombarding my foes.Casting Gag: For some reason, the English language loves to have me voiced by actors who playeda certain superhero from a distant gone world.Colony Drop: My original goal was to summon Meteor to impact the planet. For this, in spin-off incarnations I am often able to summon meteors of variable size to strike my enemies.Cold Ham: I hardly ever raise my voice, yet my words and threats still strike fear into those who face me.The Comically Serious: I insist on keeping my composure inNintendo's grand contest, no matter what happens around me. Unfortunately, Nintendo's champions do not reciprocate, and it must be said that my stoicism does little to reduce the amusement people draw from humorous situations I find myself in.Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: It's not hard to see that within thebroader series,that jesterand I are as different as night and day. We both betrayed our masters for godhood, certainly, but that's where the similarities end. Palazzocame from nothingwhile I was engineered from birth to be one of Shinra's mightiest soldiers. The clown was easily thwarted in most encountersuntil he suddenly wasn't, whereas I was alreadybeyond anyone's reachby the time Cloud and his companions started their journey. I chose to bringruination to the Planetas a deliberate goal, and would later choose tocarry on Mother's legacy, whereas Palazzo would destroy whatever world he came acrossfor no greater reason than that he could. And of course, while Ivalue restraint when expressing myself, that disturbed clownis as bombastic in personality as his fashion choice would imply(speaking of which, the understated dignity of myblack and gray outfitcould not be more different from hisgarish rainbow of a wardrobe). With such stark differences, it's not surprising we're the subjects of aFandom Rivalry.Dark Is Evil/Light Is Not Good: My main colors are black, and many of my moves are darkness related, (Octaslash in Dissidia and Shadow Flare), however, mytrue formin the originalFinal Fantasy VIIis an unholy angel.Depending on the Writer: My character is prone to widely different interpretations, both from my creators and to fans. To some, I am aTragic Monsterdriven insane by the discovery of my origins, to others I am aPunch-Clock Villainwho pursues evil only because it suits my goals to do so, and to yet others I am anOmnicidal Maniacseeking to destroy all life except myself in my quest for power. My abilities are also subject to this, ranging from what you humans would call anEmpowered Badass Normalto aPhysical Godtaken on human form.Dissonant Serenity: I am in complete control of my emotions and the circumstances I find myself in, and so I maintain my composure at all times.The Dreaded: I find everyone gets a little quieter, a little shakier, whenever I make my presence known, or at least when they see the destruction I leave in my wake.I took advantage of this when Irevisited the pastto torment Cloud more thoroughly, taking advantage of his trauma to disorient him through visions. I made the mistake of dismissing him as a mere puppet the first time around, a mistake Ido not intend to repeat.I was given another opportunity to display the awe of my presence when I slew thatLord of Lightbefore it could finish the collective of fighters that stood against it, and I was amused to see them all immediately terrified before they went on a desperate attack against me. As valiant as their efforts were, they couldn't land a scratch. Even theUmbra Witch, as powerful as she was, stood no chance against me. And as for theplumber... well, he's very fortunate that I missed him by the overalls, otherwise he would have needed much more than one of those Super Mushrooms.Driven to Suicide: In the twelfth cycle of thewar between Chaos and Cosmos, I began to fear that I was nothing but an imitation of Sephiroth, and took my own life to test my theory (represented in-game as aduel against myself). Once I was certain that I was indeed the genuine article, I could gladly bear arms once more - or, rather,as gladly as I once had.Enemy Mine: Though I am loathe to ally myself with Cloud in any way (and the feeling is mutual), we - among others - were willing to postpone our clash whenwe returned to World B.Exacting vengeance upon the dragon Shinryu for his abuse of us champions in the previous conflict was more than prize enough.Enemy Without: My incarnation inKingdom Heartsis hinted to be the embodiment of the darkness in Cloud's heart, born and reborn every time I am defeated to plague him until he conquers his own heart. If this is meant in a symbolic or literal sense, I would prefer not to clarify.You Don't Look Like You: To reflect this state, my appearances within that series deviate from that of my true self; my facial structure in particular resembles Cloud's more than my own, and in the original game, I wield Masamune right-handed.Eviler than Thou: In myoriginal tale, I am the greater evil to the Shinra Corporation, as Rufus Shinra's mere greed was nothing compared to mydestructive aspirations. In thesecond conflict of World B, however, I am the lesser evilcompared to Shinryu, who intended to feed on the power borne of this war as he did the last.Evil Versus Evil: Whetherother villains ofFinal Fantasyorhordes of lesser Heartless, I am not above cutting them down if they standbetween me and Cloud. I had also cut thatLight Godin half when I introduced myself.Expy: TheIvaliciannoble Marquis Elmdore de Limberry shares many of my traits, including myphysical appearance,attire, wieldinga katana by the name of Masamune, and taking ona monstrous formthat is referred to asan angel. There are just enough visual differences between us that,when I returned to World B, I could take his palette as aMythology Gag.Fallen Hero: Once I was a great war hero beloved by the Planet. Now I am one of the Planet's most feared enemies.Flanderization: I was forced to invoke this upon myself after my second death. The Lifestream eventually assimilates all spirits into an indecipherable collective of souls, so to maintain my own identity I focused on my hatred of Cloud. This allowed my less-important character traits and memories to leave me, as my hatred of Cloud and my thirst for revenge gave me the emotional core I needed to survive. Some would say this has endured in other appearances, since my quest for godhood is often downplayed while my hatred for Cloud is emphasized.Flash Step: Sometimes I merely move at superhuman speeds, at other times I may teleport. Either way, I will be next to you ready to strike before you could anticipate it.Fountain of Expies: I have become so renowned that many have attempted to emulate me. All are pale imitations of the original, I assure you.The Ghost: Inthe world of Grymoire, I serve this role in the story as it originally stands. As an Antichampion, the A-World does not tolerate my presence for long; I have had an impact on the world before (and one seemingly quite similar to that of my original tale), but I am nowhere to be seen throughout the Mirage Keepers' journeys. I do avert this throughDownloadable Content(as well as theUpdated Re-releaseon platforms separate fromthe original), as my power can be invoked by the Mirage Keepers via a \"Champion Medal\", much like the genuine Champions of the A-World.Go Mad from the Revelation: I confess, I did not handle the truth of my origins with as much tact and control as I usually exhibit. Beyond Nibelheim's destruction some would say I am still insane, but they are fools who do not understand I have just had my eyes opened to my destiny.Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: When I serve a boss inCrisis Corewhen the game covers the Nibelheim incident, since the player is controlling Zack Fair. I'm fought like any other boss, but Zack nonetheless fails to ultimately stop me.Heroes Prefer Swords: I had already taken up my Masamune during my time as one of Shinra's SOLDIERs, where I was in fact renowned as a hero. Though I may no longer be considered a \"Hero\" by the people of my world or yours, my swordsmanship has not diminished.Hero Killer: Oh yes. I have quite the habit of leaving a trail of bodies.Just ask the Ancient.Hijacking Cthulhu: My mother Jenova was an abomination of tentacles and eyes in roughly humanoid form that traveled the cosmos destroying Planets. I subverted her body and bent it to my will as an extension of myself.HP to One: I'll admit, Heartless Angel has becomesomething of my trademark, though its effectiveness seems to vary depending on which universe I use it in. Strangely, it seems myKingdom Heartscounterpart has put it to the best use, where it will not onlybe truly fatalwithout certain abilities, butdepletes magic as well as health, denying the enemy the ability to heal without items. I've found the attack to bethe least usefulin theDissidiauniverse, where it only seems to affect the enemy's strength, and not their health.I Am Not Left-Handed: Many of my defeats thus far have been a result of my underestimating my opponents, and thus using less strength against them than I ought.My creator has statedthat I have never thus far been seen at my full strength. InKingdom Hearts, I also invert the trope's literal interpretation, and wield Masamune in my right hand.Iconic Item: MyMasamuneis widely known for its length, elegance, and the people it impaled.Iconic Outfit: I am sure you know about my blackBadass Longcoatwith silver shoulder armor and accents.Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: My rather lengthy blade is perfect for stabbing. Just ask Cloud. Or the Ancient.Invincible Villain: Across the many stories told about me, one of the few constants is that I am above all others in power and cannot truly be destroyed. Cloud himself has (quite rightly) stated that I am \"far stronger in reality than any story\" you would hear of my exploits.This is especially true formy future self,where in my memorable clash with Cloud at the Edge of Creation, I make it abundantly clear that I am in total control of the fight and his attempts to even hit me are laughable at best. I understand many of you consider this one of my finest moments, which I confess I am inclined to agree with.Katanas Are Just Better: My Masamune is a nodachi, to use the precise term, but if youmust conform to the common word for those types of swords, it is a katana. One that only I may wield.Lightning Bruiser: In all depictions, I move and teleport at superhuman speeds and can swing my sword with such power that none could hope to oppose me and live. And I assure you, you can find I'm usually hard to keep down for the count as well.Long-Haired Pretty Boy: I believe you are aware of my long locks. I also believe you are aware of how revered I am by the female fandom.Magic Knight: Though my prowess with magic varies depending on my depiction, I am often skilled to some degree with spells and sword alike.Make Wrong What Once Went Right:You probably thought I wouldfollow the same stepsin theremakeas I did in the original story, didn't you? No, unlike most of my enemies, I'mworking with knowledge of how my first plan played outand instead manipulated Cloud and his friends into destroyingthe one force that guaranteed my defeat.Manipulative Bastard: I am quite adept at toying with the emotions of others to make them do what I want. You are free to ask Cloud if you do not believe me.Master Swordsman: My skill with the Masamune is unparalleled. None could hope to match my strength and speed with it, and none ever have.Master of Illusion: While less prominent than many of my other abilities, I do possess the power to craft convincing illusions, which I have showcased on several occasions.Meaningful Appearance: My natural green eyes betray my true nature as a Jenova experiment, heir to a great and powerful legacy.Mythology Gag: My trait of striking more often than I am seen to swing functions as a reference to the initial threeFinal Fantasies. TheWarriors of Light,Wild Rose Rebellion, andorphans of Urwould land more \"hits\" with their weapons as their strength grew, but the visuals would often indicate far less swings than their opponents received; the orphans, for example, would swing their weapons a maximum of six times per armament, yet land up to eighteen hits each.Ominous Latin Chanting: The chorus of my trademark theme, One-Winged Angel, which has served as my theme in almost every appearance I make. It is one of the most prolificFinal Fantasythemes, being remixed a half-dozen times, often with new lyrics.One-Winged Angel: I am theTrope Namer, this being the name of myLeitmotifwhich is remixed in most all of my appearances. While I am hardly the first to actually do the act the trope explains, my status of having a single black wing now makes me a rather literal interpretation of the trope.Only Cloud Can Kill Me: I admitthat insignificant Keyblade wieldermay be very skilled to best me in combat. But apparently, Cloud is the only one who can eliminate me, and indeed, my battles with the Keyblade wielder have ended with me none the worse for wear, still strong enough to fight Cloud shortly afterwards.Only the Chosen May Wield: Though it is indeterminate whether only I am capable ofwieldingMasamune, or simply the only one with sufficient training to use it, the point stands that none others may carry my weapon.The Other Darrin: Duringmy first clash with that insignificant Keyblade wielder, my words were carried on the tones ofLance Bass. This was not well-received; in all of my other appearances, I bear the voice ofGeorge Newbern, withTyler Hoechlinfilling in forthe retelling of my first appearance.Overly Long Fighting Animation: The ultimate attack of my Safer form, Supernova, has gained a level of infamy for the extended animation it possesses, consisting of the destruction of an entire solar system and the accelerated deterioration of its sun before showing the damage dealt.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: After my entry into the Lifestream, I normally maintain aDissonant Serenity, but I will admit that there are very rare occasions in which I show more obvious emotion. Theapex of Omnislash Version 5catches me by surprise, andCloud channeling the power of lightis quite possibly the only time I have ever raised my voice.Out of the Inferno: My scene of standing among the flames of Nibelheim is an iconic image of me, and is referenced in many of my appearances. To add to that, I am greater than all those imitators mentioned in the trope, as I walkintothe flames.Power Gives You Wings: As the god-being Safer Sephiroth I bore six white wings instead of legs, and a black wing in place of my right arm. More commonly now I am depicted with a single black wing over my right shoulder.Predecessor Villain: inFinal Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Kadaj is the film's main antagonist for all practical purposes, and bringing me back to life is his main goal.Punch-Clock Villain: My appearance inDissidia Final Fantasy. I had no interest in theForever Warwaged between Chaos and Cosmos; my only goal was to understand the nature behind it and how it could be used to further my ambitions.Purposely OverpoweredGuest-Star Party Member: In Cloud's flashbacks, though I can't be controlled by the player, I will kill any enemies in but a few swingsnoteeither one, possess mastered various Materia, and cannot be damaged.Psycho Prototype: Iplay this trope oddly; although my status as the first individual to be injected with Jenova's cells is directly related to my eventual mental breakdown resulting in the Nibelheim incident, the 'psycho' element is notcausedby the 'prototype' element.Reality Warper: Ithas been observedthat my Supernova attack functions with largely the same mechanics as Summoned Beasts - as I myself do not have the strength to summon a meteor with the strength to eliminate a single Planet, let alone a solar system, I instead draw my enemy into an alternate space and time in which such destruction is occurring.I will admit my choice of timing for the teleportation is less than stellar.Rule of Symbolism:Final Fantasyhas never shown restraint with symbolic representations, and I am no exception.My Safer form inthe original telling of my talehad me possessed of six white wings, in reference to the seraphim of Abrahamic myth; the seraphim were the highest and greatest of the angelic hierarchy, and so too was this my greatest and most powerful form. The dark wing that replaces my right arm - and which I possess in many of my appearances thereafter - serves as a representation of the world's opinion of me as aFallen Hero.My Masamune is named for a renowned swordsmith in your world; carrying a sword of Masamune's make is considered indicative of a calm warrior, which describesmy demeanourquite well. Furthermore, a sword bearing his name wasthe greatest weapon by raw powerin thefirsttwogames of the greater series, befitting my status as aninsurmountable warrior. Finally, Cloud has had access to a weapon bearing the name of Murasame, a rival swordsmith to Masamune who could never overcome him, which serves well to illustrateour positionandCloud's regard of facing me.A Sinister Clue: One ofFinal Fantasy'sfirst villains to be obviously left-handed, and I have always been so save foronce.Softspoken Sadist: I have no need to raise my voice in order to taunt Cloud over his failures.The Stoic: I am very adverse to open displays of emotion aside from arrogance and cruelty. I confess though Ioften lose my composurewhen I witnessCloud overpowering mein some fashion.Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Prior to the Nibelheim case, those in Shinra that kept their distance considered me a cold and stern authority figure, but those that took the care to get to know me would find me personable, polite, and at times, yes, quite kind and understanding. This is why my betrayal of Shinra shook so many so heavily.Super Prototype: While subsequent SOLDIER recruits of Shinra would be injected with Jenova cells upon entry, I was injected as a fetus, growing and merging with them to achieve greater power than any normal recruit would ever have.Sword Beam: Another skill I am fond of. At times it manifests as a blade of energy, at other timesRazor Windin the wake of my strikes.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: I was featured ina show hosted by an alcoholic redneck and a mad scientistwhere I found this half-demon whom I believe is thisother half-demon's older brother. I challenged him upon sensing a great power.Sadly, it was not good enough, as Isliced off the top half of his bodyafter burning him with my supernova attack.Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Not inmore objective accountsof my role in The Planet's darkest hour,obviously, but in theversioncompiled bythose irreverent clowns. While theymake foolsof my enemies, they do not taint my character with their absurd sense of humor, and my \"abridged\" alter-egodarkens the moodof whatever scene he appears in. I daresay this other metook it a step further than I actually did,singling out Cloud's mother for murder as adark answerto his wish to become just like him, and instead of denying Cloud's ability to feel, this other me acknowledged andmockedStrife's misery when he killed that Ancient in front of him. I cannot say I wasever that petulant.Villainous Legacy: Though my motives might seemfantastical and larger than lifeto you, I would not exist to pursue them were it not for mycreators and former masters, TheShinra Corporation, forging me as a means of enforcing their order, all in the name of simple greed.Thatis a wickedness I can't help but noticeplagues your world too.Villainous Plan Inertia: My death alone was not enough to stop Meteor. If it weren't for that Ancient's meddling, I would have won from beyond the grave, even if I was in no position to benefit from it...at the time.Villain Respect: Thoughthat insignificant Keyblade wieldercannot put an end to me, I am not above commending him for his skill when he proves capable of besting me in combat.The Voiceless: Inthe world of Grymoire, I can be invoked to aid in battle in the same manner as other Champions, but I do not speak in so doing. This isjustifiedby my lack of active role in the story; it would be wasteful to call uponmy voice actorfor a mere one-liner, andreusing my past utterancesmay not be appropriate for the situtation.We Can Rule Together:Before our final duel in the first chapter of the remake, I offered Cloud the chance todefy destinytogether. One that he quite understandably rejected. Was I sincere about my offer? Well, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough.Winged Humanoid: Most of my appearances have me bear a single black wing in reference to the title of my boss theme; most prominently inthe original conflict of World B, where it served as mySuper Mode, in contrast to many many of Chaos' other summoned warriors having full transformations reflecting their boss appearances. Duringthe second conflict, my Safer form would make another appearance, though revised to qualify for this trope as well.White Hair, Black Heart: My long silver-white hair is another of my iconic design appearances, and goes well with my cruel and sinister nature.Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Some would consider the tragedy and trauma that followed my life up to the Nibelheim case to make me a tragic and sympathetic figure. Pity me if you wish, it will not spare you my wrath.The Worf Effect: The Midgar Zolom is adeceptively powerful foethat Cloud and his party were advised to avoid when first they approached its domain. On reaching the other side of the swamp by chocoback, they found that I had left one impaled on a tree, demonstrating to the less-informed of Cloud's allies that my power was not exaggerated."} {"text": "Discussion on how to deal with pages like this is hereThis is gonna be fun.(For any English-speakers who like to keep it real, it's best to read me in the voice ofKevin Miller.

Hearda certain electrokinetic humieI know froman old gigdecided to show up here and talk about himself. Since I'm a fun guy and good sport, I just couldn't let that sap hog all the glory, so here I am to quite literally steal his thunder away.noteCole:Terrible pun, Sly. Just the worst. Not to mention I lost the fuckin' page 'cause the morons who run this site think their opinions matter over everyone else's!Me:Oh. Sorry 'bout that.Cole:It's all good. I've gotten over it.Now, I'm sure some of you more seasoned guys and gals don't need any real introduction from yours truly, but if you do, I should probably startrightat the beginning.The name's Sly.Sly Cooper. I'm an art lover, abon vivant, and as you all should know, an internationally famous master thief. In fact, us Coopers ourselves are a long,longline of master thieves dating back thousands of years. Though I can assure you that no honor, challenge or fun can be found in stealing from the common man, which is why my family line's always followed a code toonly steal from other thieves. So you can consider your wallet safe. For now.Let me start at the beginning, back I was just an eight-year-old kid, and it was the night I was supposed to inherit from my father our family's greatest treasure, the Thievius Raccoonus. It was an age-old encyclopedia of thieving knowledge my ancestors had passed down through the ages, and with it in hand, I hoped it would teach me everything I needed to be especially sneaky in my future career.Though fate had something different in mind. A band of power-hungry crime lords called the Fiendish Five broke into our home, struck down my parents, tore out the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus, and scattered them to the\u2026fivecorners of the earth. After I lost just about everything that night except my cane and the clothes on my back, I was shipped off to the Happy Camper Orphanage.But hope was not lost, since it was there I met two new companions:Bentley, resident turtle boy who does machines, cracks codes and serves as the strategy behind our operations, andMurray, our getaway driver, and who's grown all the way from aham-fisted burdento ourham-preachingenforcerover the course of our adventures. And ever since that first meeting at the orphanage (and a premiere cookie-stealing heist), the three of us have been close in a way that simple words just can't do justice.As the years went on, our outfit\u2014 the Cooper Gang\u2014 truly began to take off, and despite humble beginnings, we started pulling some daring heists in big-name places all over the world. Paris, Bombay, you name it. And how could I forget about my first run-in with the especially lovely and passionateInterpol inspectorCarmelita Fox? Ah, those were the days.Ten years after my parents' death, we finally found a lead on the Fiendish Five (thanks to Carmelita having a file with as much info on me as she could find) and startedour big mission to hunt them down and take back the Thievius Raccoonus. Outwitting each member took some split-second skill and strategy, but we managed to take them down one by one and began restoring my family's treasured guidebook back to its rightful state.Eventually, it came the time to put down their leader, a giant owlhorrifying beyond all reasonwho had replaced his body with cold robotic parts: Clockwerk. He revealed to me that he'd achieved eternal life through pure jealousy and hatred against the Cooper Clan, and dedicated his existence to wiping us out since the beginning of time. He nearly succeeded with me and my parents, butchose to leave me aliveas proof that our legacy was worthless without the Thievius Raccoonus.But I made sure to prove him wrong.Thanks to the combined efforts of our gang, with even Carmelita herselfstepping in for a bit, Clockwerk and his Death Ray were taken out of commission. My parents were finally avenged, I gave the lovely Ms. Foxa little token of my gratitudebefore we soon returned to our usual game of cat and mouse, and the Thievius Raccoonus was returned to its rightful state. It was finally time for me to write my own tales in the book.After a couple years' worth of other adventures,our gang learned that the Museum of Natural History in Cairo was putting Clockwerk's mechanical parts up on exhibition, so we pulled a job to steal and destroy them for good. But by the time we arrived, they were already stolen by the Klaww Gang, a new crime syndicate whose members planned to use each part as instruments for a grander scheme. To make things even more complicated, Carmelita had a new partner, Constable Neyla, who we knewdefinitelyhad something up with her.After a lot of twists and turns in our crusade against our new foes, including me and Murray getting captured for over a week, Neyla framing Carmelita for conspiring with us, and all the Clockwerk parts we nabbed from the Klaww Gang getting stolen back at the last minute, we found out that two-bit cockney liar was in league with them from day one. Having already backstabbed everyone else along the way, she hijacked Clockwerk's body and its immortality for herself. Against all odds, we managed to stop her \"Clock-La\" form and end Clockwerk's reign of terror for good this time,but Bentley's legs were crushed as a result of the scuffle.When Carmelita showed up to arrest us just after all was said and done, I knew how much my friends went through during this long journey of ours, so I agreed to turn myself into Interpol on the pretense that they would be let go. But they managed to give me a little help before leaving, and I, in turn, managed to give her the old slip yet again. She didn't seem that fussed about it then, though.Sometime in the following year, I broke into a high-security prison to have a word with a guy named McSweeney, the retired muscle of my father's original trio. Through him, I learned about Kaine Island, where the Cooper Vault full of my family's treasure was hidden. We soon found out that a mad scientist named Dr. M (who I'd later learn was the estranged brains of my dad's old outfit, incredible, isn't it) had already spent years trying to break into the vault himself. With the vault being hard enough to get into even without Dr. M's personal fortification of the island, Bentley and I knew that it would take more than just us three to pull off such a tough caper.So it becamethe goal of our next adventure to find other world-class thieves, recruit them, and pull off our toughest heist yet (with Carmelita hot on our tail as usual). Murray was our first recruit, having spent the last year trying to find himself after the Clock-La incident. Next, we recruited his mentor in the mystic art of Dreamtime,the Guru. We then completed our gang with RC expertPenelope(who got together with Bentley during that caper) and two of ourformer foes:the Panda Kingof the Fiendish Five andDimitri Lousteauof the Klaww Gang. With our gang finally assembled, we all set off to Kaine Island for the grand heist.In spite of a couple setbacks and a quick brush with death, we were finally able to get to the Cooper Vault. After I traversed it and reached its innermost sanctum, Dr. M followed me there to crush me and take the Coopers' treasure for himself. After a fight that was long and hard enough to shake the Vault to its limit, Carmelita arrived in the nick of time to arrest us both. I took a blast meant for her from Dr. M and after finishing him off, she came over to me to see how I was doing. I took the opportunity and pretended that the attack made me lose my memory, and after she told the seemingly-amnesiac me that I was her \"partner\", we quickly hightailed it out of the Vault as it collapsed.So Carmelita and I were finally able to enjoy each others' company as a result of what happened at Kaine Island, and I pretty much retired from thievery. It was a nice break.But after a while, the thief in my blood started roaring up again, and I secretly began plans to pull off one last heist\u2026 behind her back. But just as I was about to make my move, Bentley appeared in order to tell me thatentries in the Thievius Raccoonus were starting to disappearas a result of something affecting history. He, Murray and I soon reunited and, using Bentley's newly-finished time machine, made it our mission to travel to different eras in time (such as the Old West or even the Ice Age), save each of my ancestors and find out just who the culprit messing with them was.Later into our adventure, we caught up with Carmelita (who was definitelynot happyabout the whole \"lying about amnesia\" thing, but IthinkI made things up with her), as she was also thrown through time by the same mastermind who started this whole mess\u2014Le Paradox, an egomaniacal art collector and the latest member of his own lineage of master thieves. We learned thatPenelopehad sold us out and gave Le Paradox a time-traveling blimp of his own so that he could topple my ancestors' legacy and steal their canes to use as his own personal trophies. After we fixed all the damage he and his cronies did to Cooper history, I finally confronted him on said blimp as its time machine finally broke,but at the last second he escaped with my paraglider and left me on the blimp for dead.And that's the last thing I remember happening before waking up alone in ancient Egypt along with what was left of Le Paradox's time machine. As of now, I still don't know when my friends are finally going to find and rescue me, andI dread that it might not be any time soon. So, getting comfortable here and maybe seeing if I can meet up with one of the Slytunkamens is probably the best option for now, assumingI don't suddenly wake up one day next to a Carmelita that still thinks I have amnesiaor something. Besides, I think the endless view of sand from every direction is actually starting to grow on me.But besides my usual capers of going on globetrotting heists, I've also had a few other excursions here and there, some favorable and some not. There was this one time (can't remember when) whereBentley and I were kidnapped by alienswho forced us to compete alongsidea long-eared cat guy, a robot,an elf, and a short guy with a loud mouthin some weird space dimension Olympics. We've never really brought that incident up again. I also vaguely recalla time when I traveled to a bunch of weird placesand traded fists with some people while looking for a couple missing pages of the Thievius Raccoonus, eventually finding them in the hands ofsome bargain bin treasure hunterwho wouldn't give them up the easy way.Apparently I was also supposed toget my big-screen debuta while back, but thanks to some backlash,the aforementioned cat-creaturemessing everything upand a few other things, it's more or less been swept under the rug. But a few say I might have better luck as a TV star, so who knows what'll happen next? When it happens. \u2026Hopefully. And no, I'm not counting the time whentwoof those cat-creatureskidnapped me and my friends to use as decoys.And now that you've heard about my exciting career, you might as well stay to take a deeper look at my endearing quirks and tools of the trade when it comes to the fine art of thievery. Just don't forget that this place is almost as good atstealing your timeas I am at stealing everything else. Have fun, pal!Here's all you need to know about me:Ace Pilot: As unexpected as it is, I'm pretty good with a plane...Universal Driver's License: ...and a hovercraft, a submarine, a jetpack...Aesop Amnesia: When at the brink of death, you might wonder if you should cut out the cat-and-mouse game and embrace your foxy police lady, and after the vault job and the \"amnesia\" that's more or less what I did. With enough time, though, the thief in my blood began screaming to get going again, and... well, yeah, I kinda got ahead of myself a little.The guy behind my voice thinksit might be because I wanted to bring Carmelita into my lifestyle since she already brought me into hers, but everything's up in the air at the moment.Always Save the Girl: If Carmelita is truly in danger, I'll come to rescue her. It doesn't matter ifthere's a trap or two involved, I'll help her out no matter what.Amnesiac Lover: Faked it after theCooper Vault jobto be with Carmelita. When the time came for her to figure out the truth, she, er, didn't take it very well.Ancestral Weapon: My trusty cane, inherited from my father. All Coopers had a cane of their own, but a lot of them varied in shape and size. Rioichi from feudal Japan had a bamboo cane stylized like a sai, Sir Galleth from Medieval-era England had a sword shaped like a cane, the list goes on.Anti-Hero: Make no mistake, pal. I may have stopped more than a few guys from doing terrible stuff to more than a few places, but I'm still a wanted crook. No badge of honor for me.But of course, all the people I've saved these places from were even worse criminals, and of course, what would a gentleman thief like me be without a heart?Awesome Ego: I'm just that good, people.Back Stab:Not the literal kind, that would be gross, but a classic skill of mine would be sneaking up on a guard from behind and knocking them over with my cane.Bag of Spilling: Yeah, I'm... more than a little out of practice on performing some of my clan's trademark thieving skills,but I can still do the Ninja Spire Jump and Rail Slide moves as good as I ever did.Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: I'm the \"Beauty\", Bentley's the \"Brains,\" and Murray's the \"Brawn.\"Blatant Burglar: Mask, hat, it's pretty much self-explanatory. But with or without it, I'm still pretty good at my job, so why fix what isn't broken?Blue Is Heroic: I love to wear blue and my ancestors have a blue hue to them and I'm the star of my line of video games. Ever notice that heroes like me love to wear blue and howsome villains like Mugshot or the Grizz wear purple?You could even say that purple is the new black for villains!Blow You Away: My Silent Obliteration technique involves me moving fast enough around an enemy to create a tornado that quickly and quietly takes care of them.Break the Haughty:Not by too much, but ever since Clockwerk's near-resurrection crippled Bentley...I've been a little more concerned about my friends' well being.But Not Too Foreign: When the Coopers got around, theygot around. Even if I was born in America, I have roots in Egypt, Arabia, England, Scotland, Japan, Germany and even more.Calling Card: Just to make sure the Cooper Gang's targets know:I was here, and you can't do anything about it.Cane Fu: That family heirloom is more than just for show, folks.Can't Stay Normal: While my downtime with 'Lita was fine and all, I just couldn't let go of my family's legacy of thievery andneededto pull another job. And to think, it rather nicely segued into our time-travel adventure.Character Development: Over the course of our adventures, I've been a bit more open to helping my pals with their feelings and problems.Chick Magnet: According to Bentley. I could go further into this one, but I don't think I need to.Childhood Friends: With Bentley and Murray ever since our orphanage days. Once again,a guy couldn't ask for a better gang of friends.Chivalrous Pervert: Carmelita's just one of the prettiest people I've ever seen, so can you blame me for trying?Conveniently an Orphan:Not by a long shot, in contrast tothat cat-guyfor the first few years of his adventures. My family legacy is often at the crux of our greatest adventures, and I have the cane to prove it.Criminal Amnesiac: More likePhonyAmnesiacCop. It didn't stick.Dating Catwoman: My relationship with Carmelita in a nutshell. I'm a suave gentleman thief, she's a hard-as-nails cop and there's some banter and a shock pistol in-between here and there. And having her on my tail has always made our capers all the more fun.Deadpan Snarker: Me? Snarky!?Not at all!Domino Mask: Yes, I'm already a raccoon, but it's still the mark of a true thief.Everyone Has Standards: As I said before, me and my gang only ever steal from criminals. Stealing from or harming innocents is the mark of the cruel and cowardly.noteWell...okay, wedon'talwaysfollow this way of thinking.Family Honor: Gotta preserve the Cooper legacy.Flanderization: I think that during that time-travel adventure I may have gotten a littletooexcited to get back to the grind. Jokes got cracked in such record time that they got sloppy, andI probably forgot to eat breakfast during our last day in Arabia.Regardless, I still trusted in my pals like always.First-Person Snapshooter: Bentley asks me to do this sort of thing for our recon missions. It's fun, and it helps with the eventual big heist.Foe Romance Subtext: With Carmelita. I don't think I even need to say it.Four-Philosophy Ensemble: I'd say I'm Apathetic mixed with Realist. I don't really need to worry about a lot of things since I'm just that good at my job, but when things get painful, the way I see it is you just gotta keep moving forward.Four-Temperament Ensemble: The \"Phlegmatic\" kind, if you couldn't tell already. I'm cool, I'm collected and I'm always there for my pals.Fun Personified: Sly Cooper,bon vivantinside and out.Gentleman Thief: I am indeed one very charming character, wouldn't you think?Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Yeah... those aren't frayed pants like they say. Not a problem, though. This worldisvirtually one without pants.Hard Light: As I learned during my trek into the Cooper Vault, my dad invented a technique for rail sliding onlaser beams! Really. It's as amazing as it sounds.The Hero: I guess? I don't really wear it on my sleeve, but I do take out a lot of cruel crime lords and my gang pretty much saved the world from both Clockwerk and spice-induced madness.Honor Before Reason: And challenge before reason, and also fun before reason. It's who I am and how I roll.Hooks and Crooks: The Cooper cane, obviously.In-Series Nickname: Carmelita calls me \"Ringtail\". Don't know why, but if it's her secret pet name for me, I appreciate it.Just a Stupid Accent: Excuse-a me? I find it incredibly-a hard to-a believe that-a my disguised Italian accent-a is-a just \"stupid\". It-a worked perfectly in-a Venice and Arabia!Just Like Robin Hood: Me and my own merry men tend to donate some of our scores to a few charitable causes, such as orphanages.Karmic Thief: Stealing from an average joe isn't honorable in the slightest, hence why our targets for thievery are usually people who definitely deserve it.Lineage Comes from the Father: Quite a few people have compared me to my dad, given both the family resemblance and the Cooper legacy I inherited from him. Don't really know as much about who my mom was.Mascot with Attitude: Sure, me and others who fall under this likethat other kidshare confidence and coolness, but I consider myselfa refined variant. Compared to to how he thrives on being loud and proud, I do my job by sneaking around and sprinkling a little bit of charm here and there.Nice Guy: Who said being a thief means that I can't be friendly from time to time?No Guy Wants to Be Chased:Nope!Remember what I said about challenge and fun. I want that for my adventures and Carmelita just happens to be both.Only Sane Man: Yes, Bentley's the brains of our team, but it's often up to me to reel everyone in whenever things getreallyhot.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Whenever the snark and sultry go off, so do the gloves.Paper-Thin Disguise: Somehow not even Inspector Fox saw through that disguise at Rajan's ball. All I'm saying is it usually works.Phantom Thief: You can't catch me for long, mon ami.Rascally Raccoon: And proud to be one. I'm even the page image!Stealth Hi/Bye: Most cowardly crime lords never saw me coming... or going, for that matter.Super Drowning Skills: Really should've taken those swimming lessons back at the orphanage.Sympathy for the Devil: ViciousKlaww Gangmember or not, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jean Bison and hissituation. Happy that he managed to land a new job at the EPA after we took down the Klaww Gang.noteWait, he got himself frozen in another block of ice? Geez, that sucks.Taught by Experience: As I didn't have the Thievius Raccoonus at first, I had to self-teach myself how to do a lot of sneaking around and climbing. It paid off.Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: When we decided to recruitthe Panda Kingof all people for the Kaine Island heist, I was the most apprehensive since, well... he was one of the Fiendish Five that killed my parents. I (mostly) got over it with time, though.Time Master: a couple Cooper techniques seem to allow me to slow down time, speed it up or even stop it. No idea as to how, but they sure were useful... and entertaining, too!Trapped in the Past: Ever since my last caper. Thanks a lot, Le Paradox.And that's pretty much everything, pal. By the way, if you just so happen to have a time machine on you, would you mind helping a guy out? I kinda lied about the whole \"sand growing on me\" bit.noteCole:Don't worry, Cooper. I'm hoping I get that time-travel power Kessler had. You'll just have to wait.Darth Vader:I cannot help but sympathize with you, raccoon."} {"text": "Hello. I'm in space. Space. I'm in space.

BULLETS TURNED INTO THE SWEET TASTE OF [[Pain]] AND [[Pain Accessories]]DON'T FORGET TO [[Like and Subscribe]] FOR MORE [[Hyperlink Blocked]]!"} {"text": "\"Looks like I got some things to do!\"Me, right before I started my quest to kick Gnasty's butt.Note: can be read in the voice ofCarlos Alazraqui,Tom Kenny,Jess Harnell, orLuis Daniel Ram\u00edrezin Spanish for the latter.Hey, 'sup everyone? I'mSpyro the Dragon, hero extraordinaire! Don't let my size fool you, I've saved the Dragon Realms and accomplished more things in my life than most of the old elders combined.Not to say my life was always that awesome, though. From the time I was just a hatchling to the time I became a member of the frequent world savers club, I mostly herded sheep as a chore given to me by the elders. Yeah, to say it was rather boring would be quite the understatement. If it wasn't for my best friend Sparx, I would have gone out of my mind in boredom until that day.What day is that? Simple, it was the day Gnasty Gnorc decided to try and get revenge against dragons. You see, old butt face was like jealous of our gems or... Something. I dunno, wasn't paying attention to that part. All I know was that pain in the tail tried to turn all of a dragon kind into statues, but what Mr. Nuts for brains didn't realize he missed one. Namely, me. Now, other dragons would have been scared, but not me. I jumped right into action and started to torching the behinds of Gnasty's minions before they knew what hit them, freeing dragon kind a long the way.To make the story short though, eventually I found Gnasty and kicked his butt back to the dump he came from!After that, the Dragon Realms were hit with a sudden wave of bad weather. Yeah, not exactly the best way to celebrate a victory. So, me and my buddy Sparx decided to take a well deserved vacation at Dragon Shores. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. As it turned out, in the far off Realm of Avalar a mole only known as 'The Professor' was attempting to use a portal to summon a dragon to their worlds, just around the same time I was jumping through my portal to Dragon Shores.Yeah, to say I wasn't really amused would be an understatement. As it turns out though, Avalar was currently under attack from some midget raptor thing called Ripto. As it also turned out, Ripto hated dragons, and the main reason he was trying to take over their realm was because there were none there. So, the group there decided it to be a good idea to summon a dragon to fight him.Yep, no flaws with that logic there.In the end though, it was all good. I kicked Ripto's butt, finally got my trip to Dragon Shores, and met some of my closest friends on that journey.Sometime later, in the Year of the Dragon, the dragon eggs that were \"routinely delivered by fairies\" (yeah,right.I totally believed that one, Elders) were stolen by a rabbit wearing a robe. Having jumped down a rabbit hole (wait... This sounds oddly familiar now that I say it...) that was too small for the other dragons to go through, I was once again charged with the task of saving dragon kind by going an adventure to the 'Forgotten Realms', where I soon faced off against the true villain, \"The Sorceress\". Along the way, I met up with some pretty cool allies, and even that rabbit decided to pull aHeel\u2013Face Turnto help us.And that was pretty much it. I went on some other adventures since, but I've already rambled on enough. I think it's time to get to that whole 'Trope' thing this site is named for.Also, since my personality and thatotherSpyro's personality is as different as night and day, apparently he got his own page as well. But since I'm so much cooler,his page wasn't considered worthy of existing. What a shame! That's why I'm getting theUpdated Re-release!Awesome Tropes that describe me:American Kirby Is Hardcore: In most places, what you see is what you get; I'm just a dragon who likes torching Gnorcs, Rhynocs, and Riptocs and helping his friends. In Japan, theyseriouslytoned me down and made me more of aKid-Appeal Character.They also turned Sparx green.Badass Adorable: Apparently, some of my fangirls find me as this.I am not adorable! I'm fierce, and don't you forget it!Badass in Distress: Hate to admit it, but that Mammoth guy kinda got the drop on me. Good thing Hunter helped me out when he did.Bad Butt: Sorry, but my contract forbids me from using the more \"sensitive\" words, as they call it. Not like it matters, as I still manage to be awesome regardless.Bag of Spilling:Averted, baby!Unlike thatotherSpyro, I'm actually smart enough toremembermy abilities in between games.Sadly, it's kindaPlayed Straightwith my breath weapons. I learned them inSeason of Flame,Enter the Dragonfly, andA Hero's Tail. I guess I just prefer my fire breath over everything else.Berserk Button:Go ahead, harm one of my friends. Idareya'.Big Brother Instinct: I saved a bunch of dragon eggs intwogames, now! I'm pretty sure that qualifies. Also, Moneybags should've thought twice before trying to make off with one.Blood Knight: At least back in my first outing against Gnasty Gnorc, I was a lot more eager to get into scraps with enemies. These days, I'm still willing to charge in, but it's usually just to help my friends or to get theMacGuffinof the day.Breaking the Fourth Wall: I tended to do this a lot in in the first game andA Hero's Tail. Heck, I'm doing it right now by just listing these tropes.Breath Weapon: Comes with being a dragon.Celibate Hero: Yes, I'm aware of the plague of 'love'. Luckily, I'm immune to it. Didn't stop Ember from crushing on me until I hooked her up with Bandit, though.And no, I do not have a crush on Elora. We're just friends. Stop asking!Deadpan Snarker:No, I am not snarky in the slightest. What would make youeverthink that?Elemental Powers: Comes with being a dragon. Might not be the same level as theotherSpyro, but I still managed to kick some serious tail with it.Playing with Fire: Well,DUH!It's great for taking out bigger enemies and lighting rockets.An Ice Person: Early on I needed the help of a fairy or power-up gate to breathe this, but later games would give me this as a default ability. Sometimes, I can walk on frozen enemies like they're platforms.Shock and Awe: Didn't gain this until way later. It's especially useful for activating machines.Blow You Away: I only really got this in one of the GBA titles, but it's still there. Try tellingthattoother me.Making a Splash: I got this ability after taking out Ineptune.It's not very useful most of the time, but it works great against fire enemies.Bubble Gun: Uh... Yeah. I still don't get this power.What kind of stupid power is breathing bubbles, anyway?You know, aside from catching dragonflies.Flight: Sadly, despite how cool I might be, I'm still not old enough yet to fly under my own power outside of speedways or without the use of a superfly powerup.Ground Pound: One of the few good things Moneybags did in my first three adventures was teach me the Headbash/Horn Smash/Horn Dive/whatever it wants to be called. Pretty useful for hitting switches, breaking certain chests, busting Dark Crystals, and taking out a good number of baddies. It can also be upgraded into aShockwave Stomp.Heterosexual Life-Partners: I dunno what that first word means, but me and Sparx have been partners since the first adventure. Turns out all newborn dragons have this relationship with their dragonflies. Huh. Maybe I should've paid more attention to the Dragon Elders.Horn Attack: A lot of my abilities make pretty good use of these babies. The charge, Headbash, and some of my Dragon Kata attacks are pretty decent examples.Implausible Boarding Skills: Riding a skateboard's a lot easier than you'd think. Just grab onto it with your claws and use your wings to keep steady.Kamehame Hadouken: The Chi Punch isn't so much a punch as it is one of these.Who named that move, anyway?Kid Hero: As said, I've accomplished more things as a twelve-to-fifteen year old than most dragons have in their entire life!Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Do Ilooklike I can carry a shield? Come to think of it, my wings can do the same thing. They're perfect for reflecting projectiles.Mascot with Attitude: Proud of it, too!Mighty Roar: The Chi Roar pretty much acts as weaponized puberty.One-Hit-Point Wonder: As awesome as I am, one hit without Sparx by my side can do me in.The Other Darrin: Me and my other counterparts have had a lot of different people voicing us. When only counting me, I've been portrayed byCarlos Alazraqui,Tom Kenny, andJess Harnell, and that's just if the English language is taken into consideration. In Japanese,Akiko Yajimaprovided my voice, though she made mea lot more saccharine than I normally am.Power-Up: A few gates spread throughout the realms, plus some fairies, are able to provide these when I need them. Aside from theSuperflypower-up, those include:Nitro Boost: One of the earliest abilities I could use. Running across a Supercharge ramp or gate lets me pick up alotof speed.Gotta go fast!Heheh...sorry; couldn't resist.Fireball: The Superflame power-up lets me shoot these at anything that's too strong for a simple charge or flame attack to utilize.Nigh-Invulnerability: Some of these turn me invincible for a bit. It also lets me walk on lava and swim in otherwise deadly water.Spring Jump: Then there are a few of these that just launch me high into the air. Pretty useful for getting to higher ground.Prehensile Tail: Some of my Dragon Kata moves let me attack with my tail.Purple Is Powerful: As a purple dragon, I have access to all the elemental powers and an incredible power no other dragon possess. Well, apart from other purple dragons.Razor Wings: The Chi Wings attack lets me use my wings to slash at enemies.Silent Protagonist: For some weird reason, I didn't have any lines inShadow Legacy. Either I had a sore throat that day, or someone forgot to give me anything to say.Super Drowning Skills: I had this back in my first adventure, and it gets taken up to eleven in the Game Boy Advance titles. You'd think I gained a sudden allergy to water in those adventures.Super Not-Drowning Skills: Another useful thing Moneybags did was teach me how to swim. In the console titles, at least, I keep this skill intact.Super Spit: If I have a rock in my mouth, it's gotta be shot at the nearest baddie in sight. That's kinda what rocks are for.Supernatural Martial Arts: The Dragon Kata techniques I learned to save everyone from the Shadow Realm(no relation)act kinda like this.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: After years of speculating, people finally get to see how I'd fare againstthat orange bandicoot I teamed up with oncein aduel to the death, even though they're mostly counting my incarnation fromThe Legend of Spyrowith the other incarnations' abilities thrown in for good measure.No points for guessing who won; great work, other me!

Still, though:nobodyhurts Sparx while I or any of my other selves are around!Use Your Head: Besides being able to breath fire, I've been told I have a rather hard head.Really useful for taking down baddies!Wall Crawl: The third move Moneybags taught me was the ability to climb ladders. Or walls that looked specifically like ladders. Really, it's kinda hard to tell, sometimes.Wall Jump: The Dragon Elder, Astor, taught me how to do this. Why do I get the feeling that all that's missing isa hat, overalls, mustache,and a quest to find those Power Stars the Professor mentioned?Worthy Opponent: I actually referred to Gnasty Gnorc as one of these after kicking his butt the first time. Which, in retrospect, is kinda not accurate sinceall he did was run away for most of the fight. At least the next time I fought him, he actually put up a fight.Would Hit a Girl: If you're evil enough or hurt my friends, I have no problem torching your butt regardless of gender!"} {"text": "I'm the originalStarwalkerI was in thatGameFirst thebirdsPissedme offThen thejailPissedme offBut then Ijoinedthe CastletownAnd I alsohelpedin the final\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007 Battle with thePowerofStar WalkerNice toMeetyouThesetropesarePissingme off...Animation Bump: MyStar Walkingwas\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007 Smooth when IjoinedBut usually I justSlideBeyond the Impossible: Ihangout in theUpperleftcornerand don'tturntostonewhen in the Cyber\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007 WorldBold Inflation: I like tospeakCertain\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007 words inGoldCatchphrase: \"TheseXarePissingme off...\"/\"ThisXisPissingme off...\"Inexplicably Awesome: I have two\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007 Powers I don't turn tostoneand I power up the giantRobotInterface Screw: The upper Leftcorneris MyspaceJoke Character: My entireexistenceis\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007\u2007 aJoke...

Give war a chance!Me, right before runnin' N'Mani through.(For the full effect, read this in the voice ofCrispin Freeman.)So, this is one a' those self-demonstrating things, is it? Well, I suppose I could oblige, seein' as ya went to all the trouble of doin' this.You can call me Sundowner, leader of Desperado Enforcement LLC, PMC of the \"Winds Of Destruction\", a proud warmonger, and \"The Californian Wildfire\". Born in Alabama, I joined the army straight outta high school, where I went on to have a long and colourful military career. Least I did 'till an IEF ended it prematurely. But one cyborg upgrade later, and I was back in business faster'n you can say \"War is my life!\".'Course, y'all only know me fromthat one gamestarrin' Jack The Ripper, or as y'all know him \"Raiden\". In it, me'n Sam made our appearance in the first level, where we abducted African Prime Minister N'Mani, attacked his African city, an' killed him right in front'a Jack's eyes. What can I say, Africa was just gettin' a bit too peaceful for my likin'. How's an honest warmonger supposed to make a livin' when there's no war goin' on?After that, I didn't see Jack the Ripper fer three weeks. I used that time to get back to my deal withSenator Armstrongin takin' a bunch a street urchins from third world countries, cuttin' out their brains, and trainin' them to become cyborg soldiers to sellonce Operation Tecumseh was successful. Man, the money I coulda been makin'.Regardless though, just when we were about to get things under way, who would show up in Denver, where I was at the time in World Marshal's headquarters, but Jacky boy himself. After he killed Monsoon, I decided to have a word with 'im. I waited for him in the top floor a' World Marshal, showed off all my brains, and brought him out onto the roof wherehe an' I could slug it out. Jack ended up winnin' that fight, though. An' deep down, I think Sammy knew that that would happen.Now I believe this is where I should list all them tropes that apply to me:American Accents: And it don't get much more American than a Texas accent. Yeah, I know it's confusin' fer ya, since I'm from Alabama,but just go with it.Appeal to Inherent Nature: War's just part'a who we are. Why fight it?Barrier Warrior: In battle, I like to use shields that explode right in my opponent's face.Bald of Evil: Now I may not have a hair on my head, but evil? Why? Just because I killed an African Prime Minister and helped to destabilize Africa?Blood Knight: All I'm sayin' is: Give war a chance.Complete Monster: Aw, now that's just mean of ya. Sure I like the occasional atrocity here and there, but I'm just an honest warmonger tryna make a living!Cyborg: Yep, that I am. Was turned into one once the tech became available. I can slice up your average PMC like a tasty fish.Famed in Story: As Kev told Jack, I had quite the illustrious military career even before the IEF thing.Image Song:\"Red Sun.\"Now that's whatI call music!Large and in Charge: You better believe it. Monsoon might be taller than me, but with a physique like mine, in addition to bein' the leader a' Desperado LLC, I would definitely say I'm this.Perpetual Smiler: Yeah, you can always count on me havin' a big ol' smile right on my face.Psychopathic Manchild: I believeKids Are Cruel, and I am very much in touch with my inner child.Red Baron: Among the Winds Of Destruction, I'm known as \"The Californian Wildfire\".Scannable Man: Well, if'n ya look at mah forehead, ya might see I got a barcode right there.Sweet Home Alabama: Yep, born and raised in the ole' sweet home.War for Fun and Profit: Yeah, war's what ah'm all about.Sure, what Armstrong really wanted was to tear down the business part of it, but then everyone would get to fight their own wars. Maybe Icouldhave lived with that."} {"text": "(He taking back his title! Picture TJ when he's focused throughPatrick Seitz)Whoa. I'm the first of the Disavowed to get this setup? Wonder what Orchid will think once she finds out?Wouldn't hurt to get the lay of the land here, make sure who I'm dealing with ain't connected to Ultratech.Before I was TJ Combo, I was born Tyler-Johnson Garrett. I'm a Texas boy, born near Galveston, the same place where Jack Johnson was born.Pops was my first teacher when it came to boxing. A stack of old tires was my first heavy punching bag. He worked the docks and was an Army vet. Much love to ya, Pops.First time I cheated, I was twelve. I lost my first bought and instead of learning from this loss as Pops woulda wanted, I opted for some good ol' fashioned revenge, using a roll of quarters in lieu of padding in my boxing glove, and broke the kid's nose.I began to cheat more. The more trophies I won, the more I cheated. Then, I got caught and was booted out of the league.I admit that I was a problem child growing up. After failing boot camp for knocking out the D.I., I relocated to Chicago, and worked in a gym on the South Side.Five years, I spent there, performing menial tasks, sleeping on a cot in the storage room. But it toughened me up. I saved up every dollar I made for boxing lessons. I studied footage of the boxing greats until I got that shit down to a science.I made my debut in the boxing ring. And I was winning. Because of me leading with a couple of jabs that preceded the right hook, the press nicknamed me Combo. The name stuck.After a decade boxing, I got my title shot. And I won.But as hard it took for me to rise, it was much easier to fall. I had it all; money, the mansion, the trophy wife. But I got sloppy and skipped out on my training. I paid for it when I lost the title. When I lost the championship, I lost everything.I ended up in the hospital when I shattered my forearm in a rage, following my wife leaving me and my fucking accountant taking off with most of my cash, leaving me in debt.I was at my lowest. Perfect for Ultratech to make their pitch. Cybernetic implants, designed to make me hit hard and fast.It was like selling my soul to the Devil.After being grafted with the implants, I was back on top of the world in less than a year. I was nothing more than a glorified slave to them, Ultratech taking the lion's share of my winnings and leaving me with the scraps.Then, ARIA had the wonderful idea of testing me against their newest toy, Fulgore. My orders were summed up in a single word:Lose.I took the third option, and turned Fulgore into scrap. ARIA was not amused. She leaked the reports of my implants to the press. I was stripped of my title and banned from boxing for life.Fuck Ultratech. Fuck ARIA.First thing I did after they cut me loose, I took a knife and cut the implants out of my arms. Hurt like fucking hell, but it was worth it. I bought out my old gym and renamed it Combo Gym, training up the up-and-coming fighters, while planning payback.That's when the Disavowed came knocking. They offered me a spot in their group, allowing me some payback. I couldnt say yes fast enough.I teamed up with Orchid, the Disavowed's founder. We made quite the team, taking the fight to Ultratech.I still work for the Disavowed, and I continue to train. If ARIA has a problem with that, then tough shit. She's gonna pay for screwing me over, come hell or high water.Don't think for a moment that I'll let anything get in my way, 'cause if you give me that moment, troper... I win!Arch-Enemy: If my newest theme hasn't made it clear, ARIA, I'm comin' for your mechanized ass.Badass Normal: Let's do a head-count. Among the competitors I deal with is the love child of Sub-Zero and the T-1000, a killer robot, a wannabe Indoraptor, a living skeleton, a rock monster, a ghost girl (who's actually nice unless you piss her off by messin' with her grave, which ARIA did) a freakin' werewolf, a vampire who just so happens to be Maya's twin sister, a fake-ass Imhotep, and a Human Torch reject. Okay, so some of the fighters are normal to a degree, but all I got are my fists.Bare-Fisted Monk: Granted that Orchid's baby bro is anactualmonk, I just fight with my bare hands.Boxing Battler: No shit, Sherlock. Granted that at times, Ifight dirty, but look at what I'm up against!Brought Down to Badass: After Ultratech outed me just because I didn't take a dive, I ripped out the implants myself. Hurt like a sonuvabitch, but if I gotta do this, then I gotta do this rightCamera Abuse: (snickers) Will TJ Combo smack a fool towards the screen? Yes. Yes I did in my first outing.Character Development: Yeah, I own up to it. I was a cheater for the longest time. But I'm making amends and showing the world that TJ Combo can do things square.Character Song: Oh, hell yeah! \"I'm Back (To Rise!)\"describes me perfectly! Props to Gordon and OmegaSparx for giving me this beauty!Combat Pragmatist: Before Ultratech outed me for using cybernetic implants, I had no problem using them to keep my title. And if there's a machine gun handy, then I got no problem in using it. With my return, however I'm branching out to MMA.Embarrassing Nickname: Go ahead. Call meMr. FistI dare ya.Empowered Badass Normal: I was already tough with the implants. And I'm just as dangerous without 'em. Got some tricks up my sleeve as a result of some latent abilities left over.Extremity Extremist: Started out as a boxer. But with my revamped moveset, I could be at home in the Octagon.Eyepatch of Power: I donned an eyepatch Nick Fury-style in my return appearance. Why, you ask? Because it looked cool, that's why.Fallen Hero: Looks like there's tons of people who studied the Jin Kazama Playbook on Fallen Heroes. Only difference is that I'm trying to make amends.Good Scars, Evil Scars: The scars on my arms?Yeah, that's me from ripping out the implants.Heel\u2013Face Turn: For most of my boxing career, I was the bad guy.

Still single, ladies. Come at me.Time-Passage Beard: Gotta keep the beard nice and trimmed. Less chance of it getting in the way when I fight.A Twinkle in the Sky: Another of my finishers.

Commencing disposal.(This page is best read in the voice of eitherNao T\u014dyamaorXanthe Huynh.)...I am... this isn't a dream... am I awake at last?Ah, greetings wandering human. I believe you have some- Why are you so startled? Clothes? Oh, of course.Autonomic Nerves do not require them. ...I do not understand what you are so distressed over, however, I will comply with your request and help you regain your lost dignity. Accessing... Connecting... Loading... CREATE!Thisshould suffice. Now, you would like to learn about me? Analyzing request... Compiling votes... sixty-five for and thirty-four against. It seems I will comply with your request, now listen closely:I am an Autonomic Nerve, unit number 10076. My assigned name is Vatista. My orders are to oversee the phenomena known as the Hollow Night. I was created in ancient times to watch over the Hollow Night and eliminate any In-Births or Void that are perceived as threats. I am only to be active when there is a mission for me to fulfill, otherwise, I remain in a dormant state. I was once awakened during a large scale battle between two In-Birth organizations known as the Night Blade and Licht Kreis. There, Iloaned one of the seven wings of my Aegis Attributor to Kuon, which he used to halt the transformation of Waldstein into a Void. I do not know what happened to it after that, though the sword wielded by Hyde seems oddly familiar.I became inactive again afterwards, awakening centuries later in the present day. There, I met the young In-Birth named Hyde, who I assisted in defeating Hilda. In the aftermath I found that the threat I was awakened to incapacitate was still at large, and chose to remain active in the real world until the next Hollow Night.Hyde invited me to stay at his house until then, despite me not requiring food or lodging. I have lived with him, Linne, and Waldstein since.I am a playable character in theFighting GameUnder Night In-Birth, where I was one of the original ten characters available in the vanilla version of the game. There, I function as amechanically difficult, yet highly rewardingcharacter that can fulfill most fighting styles exceedingly well. I also appear inBlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, where I amDownloadable Contentand fight for Hyde's faction.If the description provided above was insufficient, worry not, I have prepared a list of tropes to help you become more familiar with me.I am but a simple, unassuming example of the following tropes:Androids Are People, Too: I am no mere human, and do not require such normal things as food, sleep, orclothing, though Hyde still treats me as if I were. An unusual In-Birth, he is.Angelic Beauty: ...Am I truly that attractive compared to ordinary humans?Badass Adorable: I was given a 10-star rating in the Kawaii statistic inCross Tag Battle, whatever that word means.Berserk Button:\"Berserk\" is an extreme term, but I find myself irritated by individuals that impede me with their stupidity. The ones known as Nanase and Waldstein discovered this the hard way. InCross Tag Battle, Celica'sabysmal navigational skillsgrew tiresome even for me, and I quickly seized the map from her.Charged Attack: Execution of my moves requires the player to hold a direction for just under a second before pressing the other direction and a button.Cloudcuckoolander: Wandering In-Births seem to view my behavioral patterns as very abnormal. Wearing no clothing and standing idle for a month are perfectly ordinary for Autonomic Nerves, yet humans do not comprehend how we behave.Difficult, but Awesome: I've gained a reputation for being the hardest character to use in my home game. The dexterity required to properly utilize my entire arsenal to its fullest is considered the main drawback to using me, but those with the patience to figure me out will find that they can kill their opposition extremely fast from any distance.Downloadable Content: My appearance inBlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, where additional human currency is required to use me, alongsidethe child detectiveandthe possessed suit of armor.Elegant Gothic Lolita: My current choice of armor turns out to be a rather popular fashion trend among humans, and has caused me to be compared to a doll.Endearingly Dorky: Social ability is not a skill I was programmed with, but humans seem to like that about me. Peculiar.Fish out of Temporal Water: My last instance of being active was several centuries ago. Things such as cars, street lights, and skyscrapers were unheard of in that time period. I adapted rather quickly, however.Good Counterpart: I serve as one to Nu-13 inCross Tag Battle. The so-called Murakumo Units are quite similar to the Autonomic Nerves, but Nu exists to destroy indiscriminately, while I was built to protect the Hollow Night from those that disturb it.Hair Antennae: My hair spirals upwards into a shape that resembles a halo. Between that andmy Aegis Attributor, my appearance has been compared to that of an angel.Hartman Hips:Against what my official measurements might say, this body's hips are quite a bit wider than the rest of it.Informed Attractiveness: Based on the multiple comments on my appearance, In-Births seem to consider me very attractive by human standards. I do not understand why though.Innocent Fanservice Girl: Paraphrasing initial encounter with Hyde:Me:...Clothes? Oh, of course. Autonomic Nerves do not require them.Hyde:You might not need them, but I sure as hell do! Just put something on, okay!?Me:...I do not knowwhathas caused you to become so distressed.Last of Her Kind: I am only able to detect two other units linked to my system, one of which is being repaired by the In-Birth organization known as Licht Kreis. It seems all of my other sister units have long since been destroyed in the years that I have been inactive.Long-Range Fighter: I have a larger amount of projectile attacks at my disposal than the In-Births I am pitted against.Magitek: What is available today far exceeds what was used to create me. It was with the use of magic that I was conceived in the form I have, and the death of its practice ensures that I cannot be replicated.Ms. Fanservice: Outside of itships, this body lacks attractive measurements, however, that does not change the fact that I spend all of my time in Chronicle Mode completely naked, and I begin my Arcade Mode without clothing as well. I also wearFuture Spandexunder my dress, which is shown at the start of any match before I equip my armor. Humans might find it curious that in myinitial design, I was quite literally a product of my creator's fetishes.Mystical White Hair: My hair is silver, and as an Autonomic Nerve, I am far from human.Naked First Impression: When I first met Hyde, I had attempted to ask questions to him, but he changed the subject towards my lack of clothing. I did not understand at the time, but when a similar incident occurred with Orie, I got the message that humans are sensitive towards any lack of clothing.Nice Girl: My programming does not cover more casual interaction, but I see no reason to be impolite towards the In-Births I encounter,even if my master dictates I must combat them.No Social Skills: I was not designed to socialize with humans, I exist strictly to pacify In-Births and eliminate Voids. What exactly is abnormal about me remaining idle for the 2.5 million seconds it will take for a new Hollow Night to manifest?Not So Above It All: I joinAegisin firing \"warning shots\" at Ragna during the crossing of fates.Not So Stoic: Emotions are normally a very minor part of my programming, but there are moments when my calm demeanor slips. I was rather taken aback when Hydegrabbed my hand and pulled me along, I slung a few insults at Waldstein when he did not understand my speech pattern, and the cry I let out when I am defeated in-game is far from calm.Pointy Ears: My ears are shaped considerably differently from ordinary humans, though most do not notice since part of my armor conceals them.Power Floats: When in battle I tend to hover above the ground, and even while asleep I am suspended in the air.Razor Wings: My Aegis Attributor, which is my most notable weapon for dispatching In-Births and Voids.Rei Ayanami Expy: A simple yet accurate depiction of my character archetype.Restraining Bolt: I have restrictions on how much of my power I am permitted to use against human opponents. Despite being ordered to killHilda, I was unable to due to my power being too limited to do so.Really 700 Years Old: I have been overseeing the Hollow Night for centuries.Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Ba ba ba ba! Spinny spin spin! Pow pow pow!Ship Tease: Hyde Kido... Searching database. One result, I encountered him while naked, andhe invited me to quarter in his home, inciting avery strong reactionfrom me when he grabbed my hand.Nature of relationship: ...Ambiguous. Humans seem to find me being the sole female unfazed by Nanase's strange tales about Hyde another significant testament to our relationship.Sleepyhead: *Yaaawwnnn...* I'm only awake when I need to be, you see... That's why I go to sleep whenever I defeat my opponent...Tron Lines: The red lines on my armor are my Curse Commandments, which allow me to use the FLS that fuel my weaponry.Walking Spoiler: Despite being but one of many other Autonomic Nerves, my existence is far more significant to the Hollow Night at large than it may seem at first.Hyde's Insulator, the legendary sword that multiple factions have been chasing after him for, is actually my missing seventh wing reforged into a blade, subjected to such after I gave it to the In-Birth Kuon. That action itself set off several more events that would shape the current state of affairs in the Hollow Night. To borrow human slang, \"tl;dr I'm responsible for the entire setting being the way it is.\"Was Once a Man:Irrelevant. Dwelling on the identity of the human mind used to create me will impede my mission.*Yaaawwnnn*... \"Sleepy...\"*Floats into the air falls asleep.*"} {"text": "Were you expectingsomeone else?TOO BAD, WALUIGI TIME!(This page is best readin the voice ofCharles Martinetwith a snide, nasally Italian accent)Waluigi is a character from theSuper Mario Bros.video game series.

OF EVERY DAY EVER.WAAALUIGI TIME! WAAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA!Now that you have been introduced to the greatness of Waluigi, we can talk. I am Waluigi, the greatest superstar in the world. I am thenemesisof the stupid green chicken coward Luigi, and I hate that guy! Hate hate hate hate! Urrgh. Waluigi would do anything to get rid of him. He thinks he is sooo nice. Everyone loooooooves Luigi. WHY CAN'T THOSE LOSERS LOVE WALUIGI TOO! I AM EVERYTHING THAT LOSER IS BUT BETTER! WAH!Err, anyway, I got my first job with the gameMario Tennis, alongside my brotherWario. And yes, heismy brother.Doesn't matter what they say to you, he is my brother. He is agreedy, smelly boy, but he is the only friend I have in this loser kingdom besides my sweet Piranha Plants. Those guys at Nintendo were designing the game, and Wario needed a partner. Then, my creator Fuhimide Aoki came up with the brilliant idea (Best idea ever.EVER!) to create a rival for Luigi. Luckily for the entire world, Waluigi existed, and I had just moved into the Mushroom Kingdom. They talked to me, and the rest of my glorious history is already known.From that day forward, I would go on and become the absoluteGREATESTMario character of all. Waluigi has tons of fans and he knows it. I know it because they always invite me to every party. Okay, so maybe it's because I am Wario's friend, and the only one he can count on to beat the Mario Bros, but still, everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom loves Waluigi.I haven't appeared yet in any of mybrother'sgames, but, to be honest, I have better things to do than helping my bro in his stupid treasure hunts. I never showed up in any of the Mario platforming games either, because Waluigi wouldneverhelp that goody-goody Mario and his stupid brother Luigi. So far, I have been only a major guest star to the parties,and that's it. Waluigi has much better things to do than save anyprincess, although Waluigi actually likes that stupid princess Daisy, who decided to stay with Luigi.ARGHAlongside my brilliant appearances in theMarioseries (which should be namedWaluigiseries), I also take some time from my very busy schedule to appease my fans. I make appearances in theSmash Bros series. Since Waluigi is too strong to be a fighter or a boss, they put me as an Assist Trophy. This means, when one of the fighters picks up the item, I will appear, kick the opponents'(s) buttocks(es) and strike them away. Too bad they won't let me stay in the arena for too long, otherwise the game might become Waluigified and I will no longer have to be an assist trophy, but a fighter instead. I am also the proud creator of the amazingWaluigi In The Family comics, that follow my daily adventures and part of my very busy schedule. Since Waluigi is very honest to his fans (and dishonest to everyone else), I will admit that, as much as mycomic version of me is extremely handsome, he is clearly not as beautiful as the real me. I also do notspeak in third person all the time. Ionly do thiswhen I'm angry, feeling superior (being happy is for losers),scared, or whenever I feel like it.I would love to stay and talk more about the greatness of my being and where I came from, but I will have to go. It's time topour three pounds of salt in Luigi's garden. For now, enjoy my tropes. Maybe after reading them you will get a glimpse of how to become as great as Waluigi, although you will never be anyway.SHUT UP!Tropes assigned to Waluigi are:Abhorrent Admirer: That stupid princess Daisy preferred to stay with Luigi. Fine by me.Accidental Hero: In my very own game,Psycho Waluigi. Even though Nintendohas yet to sell that game.I never intended to save that realm of Unconcia. I wanted to rule that land. But that stupid Psycho Iris wanted to go insane and destroy everything. Hope you like being trapped inside Waluigi's great mind, loser.A Day in the Limelight: Although Waluigi is a magnet to the lights, he was able to better showcase his skills in cheating during theMario Tennisintros. Waluigi was also the main villain during theDance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, where I attempted to take over the world by hypnotizing everyone with my sexy dance moves. And I knocked out that fat turtleBowserinMario Party 3.Advertised Extra: Those business-guys at Nintendo recognize Waluigi as a \"Big\" character. But they still won't let poor Waluigi in any of the \"Big\" games! The closest I get iswhen they letthat loser Mariowear my clothes!Ambiguously Gay: Wait, WHAT???Ambiguously Human: Some of my descriptions say that I am a human, but my beauty looks really out of this world, so I can understand people's confusion.Anti-Role Model: There are plenty of ways to be awesome like Waluigi. They are not easy, I can tell.Anti-Villain: There is no one who is meaner than Waluigi, baby. But I can be a nice guy sometimes, even if not a very social one.Assist Character: InSuper Smash Bros., whenever I'm called, I will appear, and do the dirty work with my amazing and strong legs.I'm still waiting to be an actual fighter. One day Waluigi will have his time to shine!Beam Me Up, Scotty!: To be honest, Waluigi has yet to actually say \"Too Bad!\" before \"Waluigi Time\" on the games I appear. That phrase comes from myWaluigi in The Familycomics. I don't mind that though.* Beneath the MaskBeware the Silly Ones: I may act silly and all, but sometimes I like to remind people that there is a reason why Luigi never attempted to get his island backBig Bad:In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix.* Big Ego, Hidden DepthsBlow You Away: Waluigi is used to creating tornados. Sometimes I have tospin myselfto do it.Breaking the Fourth Wall: Like thatSpider-jerk, Waluigi loves to talk to his fans, usually to complain with them about Waluigi losing.Brilliant, but Lazy: Of course, Waluigi could use some very impressive machinery and elaborate great plans. It's just that,cheating is so good, I prefer to win through it.Brought to You by the Letter \"S\": On Waluigi's hat and gloves, I have an upside down \"L\". It is also the uppercase of the Greek letter \"Gamma\". Not that Waluigi is Greek or something. Or radioactive likedumb green man.Butt-Monkey:NO.Card-Carrying Villain: Nobody cheats better than Waluigi.Catchphrase:EVERYONE WITH ME: WALUIGI TIME!WAA!Characterization Marches On: I started out as nothing more than Luigi's evil copy (not that there is anything wrong with that). Since then, I became a much more awesome character who everybody loves.The Chew Toy:NO.* CloudcuckoolanderConfusion Fu: You never know what Waluigi will do next. I love to surprise people!Dada Comics: My belovedWaluigi in The Familycomics.Dastardly Whiplash: Eh, what can I say. ThatDick Dastardlyis quite a cool guy.The Ditz: No way, buster. You probably heard this from that stupid Wario, but I assure you, Waluigi is a genius!The Determinator: Nothing is going to stop Waluigi from reaching his goal.* Elemental PowersEvil Counterpart: Not just evil, better too.Evil Is Petty: For Waluigi, any mean spirited action is a good action.The Friend Nobody Likes: That's okay. I hate all of them too anyway.Flight: Waluigi can swim in air. It's great for escaping payback for Waluigi's deeds.Gadgeteer Genius: Amongst Waluigi's many qualities, I am a master of technology. An excellent designer too.Gag Nose: Great for smelling cheaters a mile away.Gonk: Pfft. Waluigi's beauty is just too great for feeble minds to comprehend.* Good Hair, Evil HairGlowing Eyes of Doom:Sweet Dreams\u25ca.* Gravity MasterGreed: That's my bro's thing, but I also love myself some gold. I even try to steal from him.Green Thumb: Creating a wall of thorns is a great way to score a goal.Hair-Trigger Temper: What are you implying?Harmless Villain: Absolutely wrong. I simply choose to stay low so Waluigi can take care of his business without those meddling brothers getting in the way. YEAH!Hijacked by Ganon: I've received this and delivered it too.Hostile Show Takeover: Just click the link and you will see.* Hot-Blooded* I Just Want to Have Friends* In a Single BoundIneffectual Sympathetic Villain: What do you mean ineffectual?Insane Troll Logic: What do you mean insane???Jerkass: And proud of it. If everyone is going to hate Waluigi, well, too bad for them.Jerk with a Heart of Gold:This is why that stupid princess Daisy is in Smash Bros and not me. Wah, that was stupid. Maybe becauseI still appear anyway.Large Ham: IS THIS TROPE CALLING WALUIGI FAT???Laughably Evil: WALUIGI IS NOT LAUGHABLE!Lean and Mean: It's hard to be as pretty as Waluigi's sexy skinny body.Master of Illusion: Creating giant baseballs, emitting smoke to disable opponent sight and disguising my \"Whiskered Eggplant\" as a baseball, it's all part of cheating, baby.Meaningful Name: My name is Luigi's with the Japanese word for \"bad\" added, proving that I am a much badder dude thanhim. Less flatteringly, some people say Waluigi's name is an anagram of the Japanese word for \"Jerk\".Mind Screw: I am theGod of it. Bow down!Narcissist: If you were as amazing as me, you would be one too.No Social Skills: They are all losers anyway.* Not-So-Harmless VillainPurple Is Powerful: Waluigi wear purple so people know how awesome he is!* Remember the New Guy?* Sinister SchnozSmug Snake: I never heard of an awesome god who wasn't arrogant. Waluigi has the right to be proud of Waluigi!* Spin AttackStalker Without a Crush: IT'S NOT STALKING. I just hide under Luigi's bed when he sleeps, that's all.* Stone Wall* Sour Outside, Sad Inside* Super StrengthTake Over the World: And nobody is going to get in my way to do it.Teleport Spam: Bye Bye. Bye Bye. Bye Bye. Bye Bye. Bye Bye.The Trickster: Part of my busy schedule.Third-Person Person: Whenever Waluigi wants.Trademark Favorite Food: Waluigi loves eggplants. Especially my poison beauty \"Whiskered Eggplant\".Weak, but Skilled: Waluigi isn't weak. But I've got a lot of skill. Too bad everyone cheats.THIS IS IT. Waluigi hopes you have enjoyed Waluigi's page. Spread it to your friends. To the world. Everyone must see what a glorious character Waluigi is.Good bye. Until next time, do the Waluigi, everyone.

Pick your poison.)(As you enter the page, a man in a suit and fedora walks in withthisplaying)Oh, whoa! Why, hello there Tropers! So apparently there's this trend of this site having pages of a character described by themselves. I mean, seriously? Some overconfident roleplayers? And they don't even have any pages forBlazBluecharacters? Oh dear, that is quite troublesome, isn't it? Not to worry, because I'm the first guy to do so. Though I'm not really that good in trope-describing so I hope my description can be of much use.Wait, am I forgetting something? Aah, right, where are my manners...My name is Hazama...or Hazama Honoka for the full name. Uh, wait, is the page titled 'Yuuki Terumi'? Ah, fret not, that's just one of my aliases, really. I'm just your average mild-mannered head of the Information Division of Novus Orbis Librarium, or NOL. I like swallowing eggs. And, uh... what else... I guess I'm pretty distinctive that I have myEyes Always Shut. Charming, isn't it? Like that...Soul Reaper dude?Well it may give the vibes of being untrustworthy, but really, I'm just as trustworthy as you can get! I also happen to be blessed with really smooth voices. Also, I guessmy fedorais pretty distinctive, I've been gettin' a lot of comments that say I'm a pimptastic fella. Oh heavens, I'm so not worthy for this.I don't like lies and... ahem... shitty vampires... Uh, wait, hold a sec, time out, Troper. I think I need a bathroom break. I'll be right back! Toodles!(Later)Gaze upon my brilliance, shitty tropers!Click to see my original form as Susano'o.I shall end your miserable existence, Troper.(Suddenly, a man in a yellow hoodie marches in withthisplaying in the background)So, waited your sorry ass too long, eh, Shitty Troper? What, expecting that 'mild mannered officer named Hazama'? HAAAHAHAHAHA!! As expected from shitty tropers like you, you just ate that bait! Behold, the greatest thing to ever embrace this existence, me, this grand self of mine,Yuuki Terumi! In other words, Hazama is just one of MY aliases, or literally a simple doll that acts as my front! Got that through your shit-for-brains yet?Believe it or not, I was actually counted as the legendary Six Heroes, but that was because theybrainwashedme to destroy my destructive creation, the Black Beast. But thankfully, I managed to turn that one around... by backstabbing one gullible idiot glassed girl and her fiery sorceress pal then tossing them to the Boundary, and requiring that armored freak Hakumen to seal me into the Boundary together with him! Well, that's a way to go, but I managed to come back anyway, so sucks to be you Hakumen!What was that, origin? Why was I this evil? Do you shitty tropers seriously believe that is necessary!? I don't need a fucking backstory to make myself great! I'm evil, I like it, done! Okay, fine, I also get more powerful with hate and will exist as long as people hate me, but seriously, who cares about why I'm like that?For the Evulzis enough motivation for me! Well... I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you this much. I used to own the Susano'o unit before Major Dumbass got his grubby little hands on it. Back then I was known as the Black Susano'o (or the Dark Susano'o if you prefer). It was all well and good but... things didn't really work out between me and the master unit, the damned suit was bound to it. So I decided to give it to Relius and his pal once I was done with it, but the damn vampire and her father snatched it from me before I could give it to him. Well I was going to get rid of it anyway so no big loss for me.Oh and you're still asking what was I like before shit went the drain between me and the master unit? Well how about I've been evil from the beginning!? Do I even need reasons or aStart of Darkness? Well, nope, that's for pussies! And obviously, I am not.I first appeared as an NPC in the first game,BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, with that persona above. And what do you know? Stupid heroine Noel Vermillion never batted an eye and think of me as a completely trustworthy dude! It's only after the end of that game I reveal myself, not only as my magnificent self, but also the guy who cut down Ragna's arm and possessed Jin for good measure! And in case you don't know, I am the one behindeverythingbad that happened throughout the series, and still on the roll! Great accomplishment, huh? And I already got my fans based on that and my radiatingly good look. Not unlike you shitty beings.And the next game, I finally cement myself astheMagnificent Bastardof the series. See, throughout the game, I kept manipulating things, such as eventually putting through that Tsubaki Yayoi girl into emotional torment to the point of going against Noel due to jealousy of that Jin, and even played through the emotions of that big sack of tits Litchi Faye-Ling to abandoning her good alignment to join me. And you know who gets the blame! Them of course, for not realizing how much I amObviously Eviland should not be trusted! You do agree with me with this one, right, shitty tropers? They're the ones crossing the line to become unsympathetic idiots, I was just offering information!But seriously, those are small timers, when compared to the fact that I suckered a nigh-omnipotent supercomputer, Takamagahara, that views all timelines to get the outcome I want! Because magic is awesome, provided by this pal of mine, Phantom, who is actually a corrupted version of that Nine, who used to enslave me, but now she's my bitch! Oh wait, there's also Colonel Relius Clover, but he's kind of a nagging guy so I'm not THAT fond of him either.But all of this wouldn't be possible if I am not this much of a totalbadasswho can own everyone like breakfasts, just my daily activities like how I crossed theMoral Event Horizonabout fifty times at that time of the day! I mean, really, I'm the creator of thatArtifact of Doomyou call Azure Grimoire! The real one, not the fake one Ragna wields, See that? I accomplish all those, thus cementing you guys to be total suckers who are like worms before me!And even in my defeat, I still get what I wanted! That Ragna, defeating me? There's still someone who can kill me to infiltrate Takamagahara, that Colonel Clover! And regardless of that, I also shot that stupid 'friendship' message to hell with Tsubaki's corruption, and also that 'compassionate' message by getting Litchi to join me! You know what this means...'Good' Is Shitty And Just Tools To Manipulate! And I even showed Ragna that I'm not even the final boss for him, it's actually his sister Saya, the Imperator of NOL, manipulated by none other than ME! GYAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!Wait, what do you mean \"extra rounds\"? Well, fine... but you owe me for this, shitface. There's that one time when my plan went FUBAR because some goddamn squirrel just landed in the middle of my plans. That rodent is... well, my supposed 'subordinate' in the Intelligence Department, Makoto Nanaya. Seriously, that bitch just popped unexpected and her insistence just RUINED my plan, and then that shitty vampire just pulled her under my rugs! Sheseriouslylives to cockblock my plans... And that plan is goddamn ruined! *deep breath* Oh well, I can try again. Flukes don't happen twice, and by my glorious self, it's RIGHT! You see, goddamn squirrel? Yes, I'd enjoy killing ya, but overall, you're just an insignificant worm!And thenBlazBlue: Chronophantasmarolls around... grrr... Oh, what was that, you shitheads are delighted seeing me grumbling? Well just you wait...In that game, things really got kind of... unpredictable, seeing that they brought in a seithr-surpressing being called Celica A. Mercury, to shut me down. But let's be honest, since when did that stop me? Still by the end of it, Hakumen caught up to me and seemingly killed me off using this mumbo-jumbo called 'Time Killer' and apparently, that Saya plans to ditch mebecause she's the Goddess of Death Izanaminoteas in old, rotting, putrid, burned-in-the-lady-parts Izanagi. The reason she chose Saya as her vessel? Young, supple, pure, and a vag that doesn't look like a clam that was cooked with white phosphorus, C4, and napalm.. Welp, enjoy your happiness now, shitty tropers! You actually won! ... Except did you know thatI also killed Platinum the Trinity right before dying?Greatest candidate ofBlazBluescrappiesanyway, so who gives a shit yet she comes back forCentral Fictionlike a damn cockroachand killing her was a very, very bad idea.Now I know how the duck, the coyote and the Martian felt.Oh and your victory is just as hollow as it was when Ragna seemingly defeated me, Izanami's plans haven't been slowed in the slighest. Oh and that is not the last game of the series, and I already built up a strong fanbase, soArc System Worksisn't going to kill me off like that lest they incur the wrath of the fans. That means...I'll be back next game...!!So much for killing me, eh, Hakky? I also heard a lot of people complain that you just got reduced into a walkingDeus ex Machinajust to 'get rid of me'. Feels like it's worth it? HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Hey old bag, enjoy thatBig Badseat's warmness, because I'm coming back to reclaim it! Goddess or not, nobody pulls a fast one on Yuuki Terumi and lives! And I also can't wait to take on those new chumps.And wouldn't you know it Arc System Works decides to make the walking hairball factorynoteJubei, a.k.a. Kokonoe's dad and Nine's mate. The sex was probably agonizing.a playable character right after main story ended.Still, even if that fails, I'm popular enough that I'm pretty much guaranteed to land in anycrossoverwith this series andThe Adventures of Proto-Ragna, and you better believe I've made my list and checked it twice. Speaking of proto-Raggy, I'm very sure that I'll sucker him all the way to Pluto just like Raggy over here! Though Witch-Tits informed me that Proto-Ragna is smarter than he looks and it'd be easier to dupe his sidekick Burger Boy who's the son of King Proto-Jin and his EIGHT-YEAR-OLD WIFE?!I don't care if she does age faster than humans,that's thirty-oneflavors of WRONG!And they callmeevil... Wait, that eight-year-old wife is basically Proto-Noel? Oh, I am SO going to enjoybreaking her!Waitaminute *sniff sniff* I smell guano. They have a shitty vampire who's older, stronger, faster, smarter, and better?!noteOh fuck me, now there's two of 'em?You have got to be shitting me! Just to be safe, is there a proto-rodent? Hm... well, there's this little girl with massive strength, carrying an anchor, serving something of proto-pussy Colonel (that's Kagura Mutsuki, by the way), I shouldn't worry about her. The rest... eh, they're all pussies, I shouldn't worry about them. Sothere's a new game coming outand it involves other fighting game series? I can't wait to crush...what the fuck are they doing here?Do you idiots at Arc System Works have the slightest inkling of what you wrought by bringing those...godkillers?!I am so glad that I'm already dead, AND Hazama and the Hag are taking the bait first! Fuck me, my Susanoo self has been chosen for Cross Tag?! Well let me assure you godkillers that I will be no easy win!Everything I do, it's allfor shits and giggles to kill boredom, becausemisery is interesting, as well as forcing this upon your mucus-filled heads:This world is nothing but LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES!!!The only truth there is DESPAIR!!Yeah, I'm the only one who thinks like that, but becauseI'm just that awesome,that better be the accepted norm.And indeed, my awesomeness has creeped into this site, I am alsothis site's God of Assaulting the Helpless! What was that,Bernkastelusurped my throne? That was just a minor setback, my power ofmainstream popularitywill brought me back to my righteous place! Or maybe it's because one of the participants kinda enjoy making me hisButt-Monkey... Ooh no, that won't do. You do realize that if I come right there, I could whip your ass easier than stealing a candy from a baby, which I would do with gusto?Bottom line, I am Terumi, I am the Black Susano'o, and you are all suckers before me. So before I off you like the shits you are, then you better check out the tropes sections!These tropes define this radiant self of mine!0% Approval Rating: I am the true ruler of the NOL, and I actually feast off of universal dislike! The lower the approval rating, the better!Always Someone Better: Hades Izana-OH LIKE HELL THAT OLD, DUSTY, TOOTHLESS HAG IS!And they're hyping that bag of bones as theTrue Final Bossin the trailer forCentral Fictionwhile they treat me as a footnote. A footnote! Wait 'til I get my powers back...And I got them back.Animal Motifs: Snakes! They are totally slick and awesome, just like me.Thank you snakes. You've done well, but I now I prefer an animal witha little more bite.Anti-Climax Boss:Hey it's not my faultCentral Fictionnerfed the difficulty in story mode!TheUnlimited versionsof characters are gone aside from the arcade bosses, and they aren't fought outside arcade mode. So the final fights for the entireBlazBluefranchise are against plain old regular versions of me! MySusano-o selfdoesn't even get an Unlimited Form, seriously what the actualfuck is up with that!?Arch-Enemy: I've got so many I don't evenknowwhere to start. ...You thought I meant that, right? Well, there's Hakky, the shitty vampire, Old Yeller, the damned cat, his bastard daughter, his bastard clone, Raggy, First Lieutenant Defect, First Lieutenant Garbage, Major Pain in the Ass, the Red Devil, the little brat, the hippie squirrel...EVERYONE WHO HATES ME REALLY. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Though for me personally it's that shitty vampire she is even listed as my dislike and Ragna seems to be a close second given I like to victimize him.Artificial Human/Soul Jar: The Hazama body you see is host for my real self.Asshole Victim: HEY! Who are you calling a victim?Okay fine, Izanami decided towards the end ofChronophantasmashe didn't need me or Relius and left us to our fates. Yeah, somebody pulled anEviler than Thouon ME! We'll see if I reclaim my evil throne next game. Hey, anything can happen. You hear that Izanami, you moldy old dingbat?! I WILL return!Badass Creed: Hazama of course has that boring NOL creed that even he barely bothers to recite. As for my true self...\"I am strength. I am valor. I am whole! With divine blade in hand shall I sever the threads of evil from this world! I am THE Susano'o of Mikoto! THE END HAS COME!!!\" Sounds a lot cooler than Hakky's version.Badass Longcoat: My true persona trades in my hat and fedora for one.The Bad Guy Wins: The one trope that eludes me even when I have the upper hand! Whenever I come close to victory, that shitty vampire or that damn squirrel throw a wrench in my plans! Then there's that Hag who stole my well-deserved win and claim it as her own! It's pretty sad whena dimestore Skeletoris one of the few fighting game villains that canonically won only because there wasn't aDeus ex Machinato interfere due to the gods of his game either being spineless pussies or too busy scratching their asses. The reason he didn't seal the deal is because Capatain Sparky pulled a Doc Brown.Bait-and-Switch Boss: Big time. After all spending years me, and Relius, being set as the ultimate villains in the series with everything going our way inCalamity TriggerandContinium Shift,Chronophantasmaturned us into pawns for the real. Hag. Must. PAY!But hey, I was finally able to take back the role ofFinal BossinCentral Fictionby taking my Susano'o unit back! Take that, hag!Bastard Understudy:Well now, looks like while Hazama was off on his own merry adventure inCentral Fictionever since we got split-up, looks like the hinting seen below is true; HE ACTUALLY doesn't want to be my vessel anymore! THAT LITTLE FUCKING SHIT! And yet I can't even fuse with him due to Trinity's damn magic.....not to mention, HIM?! Having HIS OWN GOALS of destroying Amaterasu?! You better let me in on this shit or else, HAZAMA. OR ELSE.Turns out, he still would do what I'd tell him to do.....but I've already came up with some backup plans just in case I can't trust that bastard. Not to mention he got into thatCross Tag Battlegame without me, so screw him for one-uping me! When DID HE become his own character?!What\u2019s that?The end of Chronophantasma?GOD DAMN YOU, WRITERS, ALL TO HELL!!!!Beating A Dead Player: Just to drive the point home that no one's got a candle to the awesomeness that is yours truly, I love to do this to the sad sacks who had to face me. And if I'm really feeling it, I'll punt them off of the screen for good measure, because this is MY show! This is actually my damn winning animation for hell's sake as my Terumi-self....hahahaha!Oh, and as for that dipshit Ragna, he gets the pleasure of having his brainsstomped out ten times and me wounding his sorry-ass ego some more. Funny enough, all of my stomps for everyone, even Ragna included, count as part of a combo and thus are points added to the score counter. Have fun using me in score attack mode now! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!My true self simply rips out your pathetic soul and crushes it like a grape.Become a Real Boy:Oh boy....looks like this is what Hazama seems to have going for him inCentral Fiction, eh? I take it that wound he received from Trinity made that fool feel pain for the first time....and now, he's wanting to crave even more of that sensation of being alive....this guy's even starting to freakmeout.Berserk Button: Did you just say I'm not awesome or not interesting!? You take that back,worthless worm... eh, I kid. Taking back those words won't even help. Prepare tofuckingdie.I like to think of myself as anartistewhen it comes to torture and misery. Stealing my sample is the best way to effectively replace them yourself. Ain't that right, you damn vampire?!I put extra hours and hard work - and we're talking the hundred year kind - into my schemes! And mark my words: one of these days, I'm going to carve every second of a given century out of that damned squirrel's hide!For the real me, it's that Shitty Vampire that's listed as my dislike!But for my Susano'o self the hate for Amaterasu is amped up to eleven.Beware the Silly Ones: Yeah I can be a goof especially in my Hazama get-up, but don't take me for joke. It's all just a mask to hide my awesome evil self, and it works to drop those morons off guard!Though judging from how different he is when we're not in the same body, I guess that part of Hazama is working TOO WELL for my own tastes....dammit.Body Horror:Huh? You say you have something to show me as ofCentral Fiction, Hazama? Wait...is that a-OH MY FUCKING GOD! DAMMIT, IT MUST BE FROM TRINITY....KEEP THAT FUCKING HOLE IN YOUR CHEST AWAY FROM ME! WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I SHOWED MY LOST EYE TO YOU OR SOMETHING?! DAMN CREEP, VESSELS LIKE YOU SHOULD LEARN TO NOT SHOW OFF THEIR HOLLOW-BODY-BULLSHIT!!!Boring Insult:Haven't you got eyes for your head!?You read that entry inBerserk Buttonup there!? It was the first on the list! Just to make it clear, you shall refer me as the most awesome being of the world, if not, your rolling head will be the thing you prefer over what I'd do to you!I'm also offended when The Hag said I was beneath her. If it wasn't formeyou'd still be eating what passes for tapioca in Hell!Breakout Villain: Mori said that when Hazama was created, he wanted him to be an un-likeable antagonist with no redeeming qualities or whatsoever, but when the popularity poll results came in, they made that goddamn Hazama the 3rd popular character in this fuckass series, beating lil' Raggy and even me, but he was still outvoted by that First Lieutenant Defect and the First Lieutenant Gerbage. But even I can't tell where Hazama's own status is going as ofCentral Fiction....And that damn bastard even ended up inBlazBlue: Cross Tag Battleinstead of ME! How dare you....the only thing good about that for me is that he'll be getting shat on by others first!Break the Haughty: \"Chronophantasma\" decided to not let things go my way.DAMN IT, MORI, GIMME BACK MY OMNIPOTENCE!That one time the squirrel ruined my plan inContinuum Shift Extendwas also one thing I broke down, howdareshe ruin my plan... But thank me I could recover from that and make the loss insignificant.Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: I destroyed Takamagahara, aDeus Est Machinathat views all timelines by making my the timeline where I win the only possible outcome. Awesome I know. But,I forgot that without I'm not invincible. While I was plotting against Takamagahara, I could switch to another timeline if stuff didn't go my way. I was fucking invincible, even one of those shits could take it didn't matter. But without the time loop, I couldn't make everything go my way. DAMMIT! Whoever wrote that I'll fucking kill him!The Bully: Quite the understatement, I must say.The Caligula: I am the true ruler of the NOL and this whole place shall be my playground for me to do whatever I want!Card-Carrying Villain: Reasons and especially sympathetic reasons are forpussieswhen it comes to villainy! I'll happily admit that I'm evil just because, and those kind of villains with sympathetic backstories or something of beingWell-Intentioned Extremistare justSo Last Season!Chain Pain: My LOVELY Ouroboros! Or to get technical, the Geminus AnguiumnoteTwin Snakes in Latin/JasounoteSnake Pair in Japanese: Ouroboros via its full name. My Hazama-self makes use of that a lot more frequently, though my real self uses it a bit more sparingly. A note to point out is that despite how awesome that shit of mine is, I can't shoot them out too far, otherwise, they don't do as much damage or hitstun. Players would quote that shooting-distance as my chains' \"dead zones\". Bummer.Taken to full extent with my Hazama-self's Jakou (Snake Bite) movenotedon't confuse it with the bullshit English dub \"Snakebite\" my real self has, that move is Jagaku and it means SnakeJAWPEOPLE!, and few of my real self's Distortion Drives. Expect even more use of this from ourUnlimited versions.The Chessmaster: I predict everyone else's movement, I'm just that great! I also founded the N.O.L and Sector Seven and played those chumps against each other for quite a while.No really, I did.Clock King: I used Phantom's knowledge of the time loops and outmaneuvered every last one of those shit-faced losers. After the time loops were destroyed, things went to utter shit for me.Immunity, don't fail me now!Co-Dragons: With Relius, we're this toIzanami, the thing possessing Saya. Though since she doesn't do anything herself to the third game, so we're aBig Bad Duumviratewith her as theGreater-Scope Villain.I'm very certain that the ditching will not last long and I will reclaim my throne of theGreater-Scope Villain, like it was thought before, and rightfully so...!Confusion Fu: Oh I just LOVE messing with you even in battle! Mix-ups? Situational-yet-rewarding mobility for even cross-ups? Tick-throw setups? Tadah~! There's no way I can't dictate your move when I get in your face, and it's so fun to land those nasty hit confirms nowadays!However, I need more effort with my real self, since that mix-up bullshit applies to Hazama. But for yours truly, who needs true mix-up when I can just beat the shit out of you from landing a hit confirm anyways?! But to agree with some of the forums out there, my true self lacking the mixup needed to get in sorta does ruin the playstyle archetype I follow anyway, not gonna lie.Crazy Is Cool: Oh hell yeah! I'm a total badass and I'm hilarious, how can I not be this.Crazy-Prepared: Well of course I am. I know about every possible iteration of the time loop and continuum shift (except that trick Shishigami did to run away mid fight), so no matter what happens, I can plan for it. But once that was gone, I...Curb-Stomp Battle: Almost all of my fights. When I said I wasn't good at fighting, I ain't kidding... it's just that this happens because you're all even suckier in fighting thanme.I once was on the receiving end against Hakumen in \"Wheel of Fortune\". Got my ass kicked even with Relius backing me up. There's a reason I'm not always confident about fighting that guy.Determinator: I am a lot of horrible things, but one thing I'm not is a quitter. Don't let me losing my temper when things don't go my way fool you, that's a reason for me to get mad, not to give up.Diabolical Mastermind/Evil Genius: Managed to outsmart a dumbass shitty omnipotent supercomputer with three minds,created the titular BlazBlue/Azure Grimore, manipulated almost the entire cast of dumbass, even unleashed my failed experiment upon the crackpot world.Sadly The Hag is far smarter (damn omniscience. Senility is nonexistent in Elder Gods.) than me. Well was smarter than me.Didn't See That Coming: How the flying eff was I supposed to know the cat's stupid clone would dothatby playing with First Lieutenant Defect?Difficult, but Awesome: Whether as Hazama or the real me, you'll have your work cut out for you when playing as me. My Hazama self's tricky to get under wraps; you sorta have to deal with my short range\u2014no mid-range game here, unfortunately\u2014and my situational mobility, and the Ouroboros takes getting used to. The real me, on the other hand, only has the basics with a Drive that pumps up the Heat gauge like crazy. And I'm all kinds of awesome when you get the hang of me. I mean, goddamn, I can pressure like there's no tomorrow, and my combos'll tear 'em open a new asshole. And trust me, it feels GREAT to mess around with you like so. (But try to get past most of my brick wall of a learning curve first, kay?)Disc-One Final Boss: InContinuum Shift. I'm behind all the events of the game, but it's Mu-12 who is theTrue Final Boss, not me.I'm, sorta thisCentral Fiction. My Susano'o self is built as theFinal Boss, but after I'm dragged out of that body, Ranga and I fight for one last time.Dropped a Bridge on Him: What happened to me inChronophantasmaREALLY sucked. After the fight with me in story mode, I get the shittiest death ever. Just poof and I'm gone. No animated cutscene, no special art, nada. Yeah, I'm pissed off as it is. Even people who wanted me dead felt that I should at least have a gotten better outing than that... Huh? You asked about how some people say it's totally deserving of me? Well, yes I kinda heard that too... It's just that it was the last thing they said after being torn apart by yours truly.Everyone Has Standards: Hell, despite me being an awful piece of shit, there are lines even I won't cross.....DAMN KOKONOE EVEN USING A CHRONOPHANTASMA OF CELICA THE NULLIFY MY AZURE GRIMORE/BLAZBLUE.....which is MY WHOLE HAZAMA-SELF'S BODY....WHO GOES THAT FAR ANYWAY, DAMMIT?!If Phantom didn't teleport me out in time, I would've been shit for breakfast, and damn Relius even bothered to have his way with me on that occasion (he actually let me go in head first into that situation and even laughingly-mocked me for it...little shitfucker...)Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: I mean, seriously? Like I stated, if you see my examples above, you'll know that 'Good' isn't in my vocabulary! It's just another piece of shit for me to mess with.Evil Is Hammy:BlazBlueis aWorld of Hambut I assure you I am easily the biggest.Evil Is Not a Toy: And I was happy to teach Nine of that!Though I should have paid more attention, because Relius and I tried to manipulate Izanami, it backfired in the worst possible way... Uuurgh, shouldn't have relinquished the control to Izanami...Evil Laugh,Laughing Mad: MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! What kind of evil being I am if I don't have one?Well, my original-self doesn't spend time doing so, that's for sure.Evil Is Petty: Well what's the point of being evil if you aren't going to be petty? But sometimes, you HAVE to understand what suchSerious Businessis.Evil Plan: WHAT PLAN?! Everything I do is just to make people suffer and break the Amaterasu unit's toys!Although after reuniting with my Susano'o unit I figured I might as well use the Embryo to recreate the world so that EVERYONE will perpetually suffer under my iron-fisted rule!Expy: Some say I am a Japanese/fighting game version ofThe Joker, or even is very similar toKefka Palazzo. HAH! I am more like the WAY better version of those shitty thugs!noteThe former still had the last laugh when I inherited his \"rodent problem\" of the flying and tree-dwelling varieties. But then again, it was insignificant for me!noteJoker: Oooh, how cute. My bat can beat me senseless any day of the week, and I've kept up with him fordecades. If I had your power, Gotham'd be all smiles about now \u2014I should know!\u2014 and yet you just squander what you've got on weaklings. Remind me: who screamed like a little girl when an actual girl had your vessel pinned down? And you evenbrokethe one time your plan got ruined by your rodent? Ha! And I daresay you can't claim to have recovered when she continues to find inventive ways to screw you over behind your back! If only that redhead was there to take Time Killer for you, eh? And then your boss fired you and left you to your piss poor fate as of now, after all the time you deluded yourself into thinking you're in control.Y'know, I must admit... it's sadly anti-climatic. Behind all the trolling bravado, planning, godlike power and impersonation of yours truly... you're a sniveling bully of a brat out to break all of dear sister's toys out of spite. It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic... oh what the heck, I'll laugh anyway.GYAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!Less obvious is some influence from thatinsufferable egomaniacGilgamesh. Sure I'm arrogant, but compared that jerk I'm the pinnacle of humility! Anyways, there's also the spiky hair, being a famed hero whose legend don't mention how we're a couple of jerks.Though I do say some people looks like they were inspired by me in terms of trolling. Such asHandsome Jack,MonokumaandNui Harime(who's pretty much pure shit to think that loveand hateare the same damn thing). See? They were inspired by ME!Also apparently my old predecessor is thisI-Nochicknote(a.k.aWitch-Tits who's dumb as fuck with her chaos.). Well how does getting reprimanded by That Man all the time work for ya, huh!? Imanipulateall those around me,even my boss!noteThough the old hag Izanami was wising up. Really wishing I didn't give that walking Alzheimer's Express complete control....There's also anExpyof me in the same universe but from a long time ago. The person was known as \"snake\" and his name is...Sou'ichirou Unomaru? Hmm... interesting. Also Ripper to along with hisrevived self, Brain Cat/Freaks.I suppose you could also compare me to thatIris Sepperinchick, especially in terms of receiving influence from someone appearing in a game universe released before my own. Committing atrocities and manipulating othersfor fun? Check. Receiving a shitty \"I'll never forgive you!\" from our verses' respective protagonists? Check. Trolling certain characters and having a blast about it? Check. Cementing ourselves asMagnificent Bastards? Check. You could say I have some similarities to her! Oh, and bonus points for both of us beingAx-Crazy! Of course, I'm still way better than that shitty little kid is, and I'm goddamn proud of it!Of course, any troper out there that readUsagi Yojimbomay have heard of this cat chick named Noriko. And some think I am exactly like her too. Let\u2019s look at the reasons why. Let\u2019s see. She has a sister whose guts she wants to rip out. Yep. Same is true of me. Okay, what\u2019s next? She forced a bunch of slaves to dig for gold for her. Well, I get others to do my dirty work for me, so I guess that counts. Hell, I founded two organizations and manipulated both of them for the sake of my own needs! If any one of said slaves gets too exhausted, she\u2019ll kill that slave right then and there. Well, whenever my minions outlive their usefulness, I kill them too, so, another one for me. And I guess you could say that in much the way she was mining for gold, I was mining for the Azure. She enjoys brutally torturing and humiliating her opponents after defeating them and subjects them to the good old Kick Them When They Are Down tactic. Oh, ho ho!!! That\u2019s definitely me! I do that ALL THE DAMN TIME!! She tormented her aforementioned sister, Tomoe Ame, both physically and mentally, kicking her to the ground and trolling her severely. How the hell could that not be me!? I do that with every shit-faced loser I come across. Also, what would Noriko think of the time I trolled Noel into transforming into Mu-12? Anything else? Oh, yeah. She poisoned the guy that raised her simply for being weak. I too am more than happy to kill weaklings. She also killed her biological dad for callously rejecting her and not acknowledging her as his daughter. Well, I too want everyone else to cater to me, so, another one for the list. She gets angry and violent when things don\u2019t go her way. Yep, definitely me. She threatened to cut off Miyamoto Usagi\u2019s hand. That\u2019s what I did with Ragna the Bloodedge! Oh, and to conceal the mines, Noriko plans to blow it up, with every slave inside after all its resources are gone. Well, I harvested the souls of a bunch of NOL drones to power up a Cauldron. Yep, Noriko has totally done what I would do. So, overall, I would love to meet this Noriko fellow. She might even me a great girlfriend for me! Raowr! I guess being unable to fuse with Hazama again may have its benefits after all.And last but not least, the fact I have my eyes often shut as my Hazama-self AND the familiar hairstyle? Oh yes, people and fangirls alike will scream\"GIN ICHIMARU\"right in my face.....then again, to give the guy credit he's also a bit of sly little snake-like bastard before me....but I'll take away his shitty points for being good all along just for the sake of revenge for someone he had a thing for, and to try to counter a broken-as-hell zanpakutou.But in his defense, I do give him props for the fact we both share similar motivations in life to achieve or crazy-ass goals...AND a favorite food, which are dried persimmons in his case....but boiled eggs are still better by the way.AND comes the fact in his 2D fighting game debut in on the Nintendo DS, he was just as crazy broken as I was on top tier! HA! Then the good ol' shit-ass nerf stick came along and smacked us down a peg in the next revisions! Aren't we such shitty stinkers?!Recently, maybe I could be just like that guy named...hmm....Ferid Bathory...?Wait....you mean he's possibly related to THAT Elizabeth Bathory?! And it seems he's eithermad with loveor outright insane from his boredom (even I can tell that Krul-bitch and others of his kind hate him)....that guy's pretty dangerous even to me if he can just push anyone's buttons with a smile on his face and with a huge amount of time on his hands with even less effort compared to me.... Just as disgusting as that Nui Harime, and he's aVAMPIRE TO BOOT!Keep him away from me, dammit! Plus, my way of fucking with people is more worthwhile than his!Eyes Always Shut: As Hazama. Adds quite the...charm, let's call it. Again, cue theGin Ichimaruallusions above due to my hairstyle adding it to the mix. And again, that's mainly for Hazama, since I myself have a dash ofHellish Pupilsinstead.Extreme Omnivore: Why does everyone but me hateNoel'scooking? She's the greatest chef ever!Because you know, her cooking is so made of everything hateful, and I love it. And you BETTER NOT SAY I HAVE NO TASTE IN FOOD! I love my boiled eggs like everyone else's favorite food, thank you...Family-Unfriendly Death: What happens to mean in my Gag Ending of Continuum Shift, when bathing I end up using something that attracts every cat or cat like creature to me, and they start using me as a scratching post. One or two is just annoying, but when you have dozens... it hurts. Y'know, in hindsight, this makes my ultimate death by Hakky more family-friendly. Just sayin'.Fan Nickname: Trollzama. Well I am very much aTroll.Fantastic Racism: Shitty vampires, beastkins... hate'em.All of 'em.Y'know what? Fuck it all -I hate everybody.Except myself. I'm awesome.Fashion-Victim Villain:Not reallysince of BlazBlue's cast, playable or otherwise, I'm the only person who dresses normally. I mean look at Relius, for My sake. Seriously, that bastard looks like he's wearing a freaking shower curtain!They even had the nerve to declare me a fucking HIPSTER on theBururajitalk show!SUGITA!IMAI!KONDOM! AND EVEN YOUNAKAMURADESPITE YOU BEING MY JAPANESE VOICE, YOU WILL FEEL MY FUCKING WRATH SOON ENOUGH, YOU DAMN SHIT-HEADS!AND ESPECIALLY YOU YOU GODDAMN CAT! Seriously, 'Hipster Person'!? What the flying fuck!? I'll show YOU ABOUT \"BREAKING\" CHARACTER ONE DAY, LITERALLY!!!!Faux Affably Evil: I'll speak in casual tones at times, but only to emphasize on how much you suck and how screwed you are in my face. No, wait, that's Hazama. I just skip the formalities and cut straight to the killing!Fedora of Asskicking: I'll indulge you in one of my awesome secrets; my Hazama-self knows an Ars Magus to conjure one out of thin air! He somehow loses his all the damn time from a fight, so of course he needs his damn style kept up. And that's why I often wear a hoodie, thank you.Flat Character: Yeah, I'm gonna admit... I haven't got much going for me in the whole character department besides \"LOL, Imma evil!\". But you're not here to watch my fall from grace or some other shit for pussies, you're here for moi, an awesomely and supremely powerful and magnificent villain pulling outamazing villainous things left and right. What's it to you if that's all I am? See if I give half a shit. I'm still awesome! Besides, you'll find out all you need to know for me to haveFor the Evulzas a motive, it's not like aGeneric Doomsday Villainwho doesn't. Then again, a lot of people say Iamgoing that direction in addition of my 'just-because' liking for people's suffering. Even if that is to be true, again, who frickin' cares? I still win and I'm a total badass at the end of the day. You wantgeneric? Look at that doddering old battleaxe Izanami and tell me that isnotaGeneric Doomsday Villain! Not to mention that she has a personality that lies somewhere between a stale mothball, an expired Werther's Caramel chew, a musty sock, and a used tampon. Yeah, I went there.Foil: To Relius. He only takes action when it helps his plans. For me, making everyone sufferisthe plan, so I do evil every chance I get. And apparently a lot of you tropers think he's scarier than me. How about I pay you a visit and test that theory, hm? But of course to save you trouble, even I at least understand some part of that, since even his experiments do little to amuse me and do more to freak me out, blugh.Believe it or not, this even applies to both Hazama and I. Hazama's willing to mock away with the last laugh more than I would and is more subtle and quiet (hah, like hell; he lies WAY MORE THAN I DO). Meanwhile, the real me would rather hack the shit out of whatever I feel like and I'd ham it up a lot more; hell, the little bastardeven bothersto be\"polite\" for the hell of it, evenifthe situation shouldn't call for it. Other than that, we'd mostly be the same and in tandem.....that is...until those new scenes inCentral Fictionand some of Hazama's dialogue towards me inChronophantasmaprior....plus, looks like Hazama ALSOtakes a level in kindness...which makes him even MORE of a cruel troll that somehow drives EVEN ME nuts since he just goes elsewhere when nothing's of use to him anymore. And via that winquote against me inCP's arcade mode....WHAT DO YOU MEAN BYMEBEING WEAKER THANYOU, HAZAMA?! HMMMM?!?!For the Evulz: I guess you could say I am bored... misery is interesting! But....it's mainly for the bullshit that Master Unit has been pulling on me.....I'm going to rip that contraption a new one someday.....soon that piece of shit will crap out bricks for even existing with me around!It seems it's more about \"for the fact that such a purpose for my existence also heals my well-being off of Amaterasu's pain\" for my real self, Susano'o. And damn, now that I look at that....my real-self does seem a lot more angry and focused on smashing up shit rather than being an awesome crazy dude like me.\"Freaky Friday\" Flip: Relius made it happen in hisContinuum ShiftGag Ending. He apparently decided to have yet another experiment at the expense of everybody else that involved switching people's bodies. Which would have been fineIF HE DIDN'T INVOLVE ME IN IT!And of all the people he switched me with, it just had to be that stupid Kaka bitch! He's lucky it didn't really happen, or I'd make him pay for it.Gameplay and Story Integration: My fighting style always meshes well with my personality.As Hazama, my style involves mix-ups baiting enemies, using mixups and tricks with mobility. Put simply you have to literally troll your opponent to win as me. Fittingly he proves to be a troll worthy of my name when we seperate.My style is pure offense, as when I separate from Hazama, I decide to drop any facade of manners and just go full on aggression and violence!And when in my original body I can REALLY show the pure power of a god! I don't rely on boring counters like that Hakky but sheer overwhelming power!Gameplay and Story Segregation: Released as my true from as Yuuki Terumi, I'm much stronger than as Hazama, I even managed to go head to head with Hakumen, when as Hazama, he could take on me and Relius and still kick our asses, but players found my Hazama incarnation to be a higher tier character.At my peak in my original body I am the most powerful force on Earth, except maybe the Black Beast. But I can still be beaten in gameplay like anybody else. In fact I'm not even considered a very good character because of how long it takes to gain access to most of my techniques.Glacier Waif: A major problem with my Hazama incarnation is this: my Drive is so fun to spam, but spam it too much and I can't even use it, let alone move around the place as well. I just seem to hate running around so much asdancing around youis enough energy spent for me. Because of this, I also have only a minor dash forward for my dash animation but that's at least cancel-able to crazy extents. Tying into my short range on several of my moves, it's often a chore needed to get asclose to my opponent as possible to even land some offense.Oh, and I actually have a slow walking speed. Oh, it sucks so damn much....but I need to deal with it in some way, balance and whatnot.Glass Cannon: In my true self, I'm all about powerful offense, including a menacing run as a form of dashing movement at last, but I'm not built like a tank or anything. I actually have less health than as Hazama, since well,balanced gameplay, that health and my Drive Mechanics would make me too good. In fact my moveset is so lacking in the defense area that the only way you can use me and expect to win is justgo all out! Then it goes to show both my Hazama and Terumi-selves have no safe reversals.....it just frickin' sucks.Not to mention I lack the good old skills needed to just mess around with you. I don't even have one overhead on the ground, for God's sake. So of course, trying to pop open your turtle shell's going to be even more work for my Terumi form. Not only that, I don't do a whole lot of damage, since I like to make my opponent just suffer so well before they get K.O.ed...if you have a problem with me taking too much time to hack someone up, then you'll have to deal with it sadly. Luckily\u2014well, for me, anyway\u2014that hole's being patched up inCentral Fiction.A God Am I: I have the powers to rival almighty beings such as Takamagahara and the old hag herself because I am the almighty god Susano'o!Oh... you thought I was a mere mortal with a god complex? HA HA HA!!! No, I amTHESusano'o! The god of destruction and chaos in theBlazBlueverse. I am the original will of the unit and with it I have the powers to destroy all who get in my way!note:Darkseid: All that power and you waste it on childish things. I was right to call you a whelp.Gone Horribly Right: That shitty vampire and the other Six Heroes try to force my conscious into the open to get off my for good, and it causes it to materialize into a new body, and in it I was even stronger than before, managing to fight Hakumen to a standstill.Go-Karting with Bowser: This happens in the Gag Reels. Don't ask me how, those things work onRule of Funny.Noel's Gag Ending inContinuum Shifthas most of the cast going out to eat a restaurant Noel is cooking at, including me despite all of them hating me. What's the biggest thing about it? I was having a damn conversation with Ragna as my real self for quite a while, despite us occasionally hurling threats at each other. Hell, we were even pretty much acting like typical-yet-dismissal friends in that scenario.Makoto's Gag Reel in the same game, I take part in a play where everyone is taking in play portraying the damn squirrel's dysfunctional family. Everyone drew roles randomly so I ended up with the role of her mom-yes seriously!I had nothing to do with it.And that's a gag reel inChronophantasma: Extend, I'll tell you that much.However, it may be the reason tying into why the leitmotif Nightmare Fiction doesn't play when Ragna and my real self fight inChronophantasma....either I'm WAY MORE AWESOME THAN HE IS...or it must be more about Hazama instead of yours truly, so I think that would make more sense...huh.Hate Sink: The whole point of my design. Everybody in the game hates me, and the writers designed to me make you guys hate me. Though they instead started likin' me. Eh, whatever, me getting adored works well for publicity, and me being hated means that I get off their tears. That said publicity won't work against me in-universe anyway, HAHAHAH!!!!Hates Being Touched: Don't youdaretouch me, like when you're trying to throw me! It ain't because I'm scared of you, but because you worms are all so filthy that contact with you is going to pollute this radiant self of mine! Especially you Izanami! Keep your doddering, wrinkly, leathery hands off me!Hates Everyone Equally: I could count on one hand the number of people who are 'not' shitty losers. Makes is kinda hard to single out someone to vent on.Heads I Win, Tails You Lose:Continuum ShiftArcade. You lose? It's game over and continue screen for you. You won? That was just a nice warm up, here's a brainwashed Mu-12 for you to fight if you perform well. Win against that one? Well it's just me getting to view a possibility to add to my master plan, sucker! What are you complaining about? It's not my fault the story is set so if you use a shittier (in-terms-of-story) character against somebody who outclasses the plot has to remind you how pointless it is.The Heavy: Relius and are, kinda equals, but I'm the far more active one because he was so lazy he wasn't even playable until untilContinuum Shift Extend.Hope Crusher: The only truth is despair, everything is lies, and I'll show it by crushing all those shitty things you call 'hope'!Hypocrite: I will say a lot of things I did not believe in. Like 'I will not lies', but I quote, \"There comes a time when someone has to lie to save their ass off.\" But really, you all think I'm SUCH a great villain because I AM aHypocrite,right!?I Am Not SHAZAM: I'm a meta example. Despite my real name being revealed, the game still refers to me as Hazama. Confusing, I know. Hazama is the name of the body I'm using. InChronophantasma, when I get drawn out of it, the game calls me Yuuki Terumi because I'm in my own body.I Have Many Names: Hazama. Yuuki Terumi. Black Susano'o. Kazuma Kvar. There's more, but of course, only someone as great as I am gets such privilege. I'll tell you this much, Yuuki Terumi isn't even my real name. What's my real name you ask? That's for me to know, and for you assholes to never find out.Names to Run Away from Really Fast: And most of them are also this trope, ain't it a big warning sign that I amObviously Evil? Well, probably 'Yuuki Terumi' is a pretty safe name. Protip: Satan was formerly known as Lucifer, which meant 'Lightbringer' and he used to be buddy buddy with his God. So yeah,it still kinda counts!All right, since I feel like the time is right, I'll tell you my real name. My real name isTakehaya Susano'o-no-Mikoto. You can shorten it to Susano'o if you like. But don't you dare call me (Susan)!Huh, Hazama didn't even bring up his extended name of \"Hazama Honoka\"....I guess that's one way to not confuse him for anotherHazamain another fighting game.Hidden Weapons: Butterfly knives. Always good for fighting. I even have a couple hidden in my shoes.In the Hood: I had one ever since the days of the Dark War. Pretty snazzy, don't ya think?Well?Irony: Succeeding inContinuum Shiftturned out be my undoing. With the time loop, I was invincible because I could just shift timelines if something went wrong. Without, I couldn't do shit. Oh well, I still left my mark greatly in the time loop... what a nice impression I made.If you think about it, my original-self, Susano'o, seems to be someone who REALLY seems pissed off....he seems to spend more time breaking shit rather than having fun like me. Anger issues much...? Then again, I've been a different person for a long time, so....It's All About Me,Narcissist: Because I'm the one and only most awesome things in this world, so they better run on my designs! In fact, if I win in Chronophantasma, I'll just kick you from your screen because the screen only needs one fighter. ME!Jerkass: Yes, I am very unpleasant. I like being unpleasant, especially at cost ofyourmisery! In fact, I think this is such an understatement for me when I'm pretty much, and very proudly, something else even worse.Jerkass God: So, watcha gonna do about it?Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: I figured that Trinity had the hots for me. Well, it was more she had the hots for Kazuma, really. She thought that I'd come around just because of that. The bitch could not be any more wrong. Hell, it was the exact opposite. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have pulled one over the other heroes and off-ed Nine. Hehehehe.Karmic Death: Well, like I've said in Relius' gag ending, not that I haven't deserved some form of punishment hundred times over....due to all the shit I've done....BUT my gag ending inContinuum Shift....IT JUST HAD TO BE THOSE FUCKING CATS. And while we're at it, you might as well call a certainChronophantasmagag reel \"Revenge of the Cats\". I HATE THOSE GODDAMNED THINGS!!Fine fine fine, I'll tell you why.....in my Hazama body it seems, I have to be FUCKING allergic to them....I'm going to rip Relius a new one when I ask him what went on creating Hazama like this....however,it seems my real-self has NO actual problem with cats....poor Hazama must be whimpering in pain all by himself now. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!I am also FUCKING AWARE of the irony ofRaggy and Major Failure using a copy of the VERY SAME WEAPON I used to kill Hakky to take me out of the Susano'o unit!Knight of Cerebus: Once I show up, everything starts getting darker, to point where a lot of you shits couldn't take it and stopped caring.Even with my death that doesn't seem to be undone, now I just hope for some reason I can see those miserable faces from beyond the grave! Waitaminute, if those shitheads somehow manage to defeat Izanami,then I'm stuck in Hellwith that damn dinosaur!Then again, if they had to resort toDeus ex Machinaby turning old Hakky into one just to get rid of me... well, what chance do these shitheaded losers have against that old bag? Ha!Unless the shitty vampire and Mercury has some sort ofCosmicDouche.MORI, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS!noteIf you wanna go through it, BRING ME BACK AND ALL OF THE WORLD'S DESPAIR I BRING TOO!The shitheads finally defeated The Hag. Didn't kill her butthey did something far worse:fuse her with Noel.The Hag screamed like a dyinggoatas Raggy shoved her into Noel like those old '80s squishy plush toys you jam into a plastic tube. In the meantime, I killed off Hakky for that one moment so I could get my original body back.Large Ham: Can't you tell from this page?'Cuz I'meeevil. (Eat your heart out,Lex Luthor!... What you do mean the Flash said that?!)Believe it or not, in my true persona I'm even more so. Hazama has some restraint, but I don't.Ham-to-Ham Combat: Whenever I face Hakumen or Ragna.My true self Susano-o is not as hammy since I do show some restraint but my speech is more formal but I do nothing to hide my contempt for everything else in the world.Laughably Evil: As terrible as I am, none can deny that I'm hilarious, especially in when I show up in a Gag Ending. Lately they think I stopped being funny. You really want me to force you to laugh, do you? You'll wish that I used a laughing gas instead of what I have in store for you!For my original-self though, even I'll warn you that he's not one to joke around, so he subverts/averts it.Leitmotif: Hazama and I have gotten several kickass themes throughout the series. Hazama hasGluttonyFangwhile my true self hasSilent Scream. We also haveEndlessDespairfor when we decide to dish outunlimited pain! Not only am I the greatest in EVERYTHING else but my themes are so awesome you shitheads can't help but remix and put vocals to them!Oh I almost forgot butmy original self also has his owncoupleofthemesthat will rock over the last moments of your shitty existence! But please...with the first theme, ignore thereally awkwardEngrish vocals if you can. It's a very serious case of twisted lyrics that even makes me lose my cool...Technically I share it with Old Yeller, Tits McGee, Hakky, that stupid goddamn cat and Glasses, but hell, why not throw in theSIX HEROEStheme in there? There for your listening pleasure while I and those losers beat the shit out of each other. It's the sort of music that just makes you ask yourself \"Do youreallywanna fuck with me?\"Limited Wardrobe: In my joke ending, it would seem I have nothing but multiple copies of that one suit my Hazama-self wears, over and over.....WHAT?! HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, FUCKING DIPSHIT?!Then again, it's been averted a bit with all of my other incarnations. But it looks like that one under-suit without the coat is the real kicker. It's what I've been wearing over it that's been different, no?Loose Lips: ... The fuck did you say, Hazama? You told the rat about Relius' interests in her, and THEN sent him to hunt her down? Cause and effect, motherfucker! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND IT?! That little BITCH was problem enough interposing between our knives and Major Pain-in-the-Ass, and SHIT like that DOES NOT HELP!!Kick Them While They Are Down: Practically a quarter of my moves have me doing this to my opponents and a distortion as Hazama has him doing this as well. This is just me showing those shit-faced losers their place in life,under my heel!Let's list them down to show how awesome the list is:Orochi Burensou (Great Serpent Martial Tempering Burial). That's my Hazama-self, right there.Garengeki (Fang Sickle Attack). Stompin' away at ya as good ol Terumi! AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!Don't break your fingers mashing away for more hits from it now....Orochi Burensen (Great Serpent Martial Tempering Massacre). The version of the Hazama-self-DD above, which doesn't require that stupid Jasetsu move beforehand. As of the 1.1 Patch inChronophantasma, here's a fun little thing: one version is a low attack where I just merely grind my feet on your head and kick you away, while another version is an overhead with the traditional stomp spams.Last but not least, I can even do this to my enemy as one of my victory animations as Terumi! And here's the funny thing....it counts as a hit for the combo counter despite the match being over. So....Raggy, prepare for me to make use of you for Score Attack Mode! AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!Still a strange thing though...Manipulative Bastard: Words are just that damn powerful, especially when they're coming out of my mouth. And because I'm so magnificent, they will just blame my victims for being idiots to fall to my traps, whereas Iambeing praised astheMagnificent Bastard!Mind Rape: I put my emphasis in this. No one escapes my mental penis.No one.Moral Event Horizon: Where to even begin with this one? I've crossed this line, without a care in the world, so many damn times that I'm practically on vacation every single damn time. I think one of the biggest ones would be cutting off Raggy's arm, burning down the church that he and his shit-headed sibilings lived in, killing the sister that ran the place, driving his brother insane, and kidnapping both him and his sister all within the span of a few minutes, and laughing all about it, even to this day, might be a good place to start. Actually, that is probably what you shitty tropers will consider because that is first thing you see about me. But seriously? I probably would've been stationed WAAAAAAY beyond the line before the fucking series ever kicked off! And to note, I still enjoy taking leaps further from the line. Fifty times before breakfast.Mr. Fanservice: One of the story illustrations showed me bathing in all my glory. I got such a sexy bod, eh?PRAISE IT.Near-Villain Victory: And it wasso damn nearthat I could literally taste it; all I had to do wasput Raggy where he belongedand that would've been that. Best part? The shitty vampire couldn't help; she was reeling from the torture Hazama gave to her! Heard it even drove Raggy so crazy he almost went full Black Beast on everyone before I arrived, and Hazama saved me the trouble of killing him by yeeting himself into the nearest cauldron! Though that begs the question of how that extradimensional punk brought him back down...noteI swear to me, if that squirrel hadanythingto do with that, I'm going to have a birth of cactuses out of my asshole. From what I know, some double-uddered bot that goes by the name of Es was hunting down the punk \u2014 Naoto Kurogane \u2014 due to how he could screw with this world thanks to his presence conflicting with Raggy's, or so we're told. The robocow couldn't finish him off when she found him, however, because she was stopped in her tracks by... ...(high-pitched demonic screeching)Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:SO LOATHE THIS TROPE. Bad enough sending the rodent off cause my plans to go FUBAR butkilling Trinity lead to the creation of Hakumen?!Yes. That's a real pickle....would you excuse me for a moment *pulls down hood and fumes* IWILLmurder Mori for this.....No-Nonsense Nemesis: That doesn't refer to me. I LOVE messing around with my victims before killing them! No, it refers tomy original self, who is a lot less willing to have fun and just carve a path of destruction towards the gate. And of course, whenever I have to deal with Hazama who messes around WAY MORE than I do.Not Me This Time: In Celica's Arcade mode inCentral Fiction. Nu-13 had been running around taking the Nox Nyctores and Celica naturally assumes it was my doing. Well to her disappointment I had nothing to do with it, it was her precious big sister Nine.Obviously Evil: I meancome on, do I look legit to you? Tsubaki and Litchi must be complete idiots to still even think of working for my side, whether they like it or not! And let's not forget Little Miss Trinity Glassfield, who LOVES my Kazuma form enough to set me free! Hah!Off-Model:GODDAMMIT, GONZO!!!What the hell did you do to my awesome face!? I'll let it slide for now, because it does serve for a moment toTrollthe audience. Though the same thing would be said about the guys behind Alter Memory. Seriously, did I kill their families and they are trying to get revenge by drawing me off-model? More power to me though!Oh, Crap!: When Kokonoe sent that bitch Celica lose near in Hazama's arcade mode inChronophantasmait SCARED THE FUCKING PANTS OFF ME! For the uneducated, that girl's presence shuts down Azure Grimoires. Ragna is lucky, all it does to him is keep him from using his arm, but my whole body is an Azure Grimoire so I'm completely immobile around her!One-Winged Angel: In my Astral, I take the form of the Black Susano'o and wipe my shit-stained opponent off the face of the earth with one swipe, because I AM THEONE, TRUE SUSANO'O!Orochi: One technique from each persona of mine has this mythological motif. For my Hazama-self, and another for good old me. Since I AM a cold-hearted snake that's been telling lies, of course I need this at some point. It's only as ofChronophantasmaof course.The Other Darrin: Aside from the Erik Davies-to-Doug Erholtz example, here's one strange thing to point out....due to poor scheduling of a recording session in the English dub,Spike Spencerhad to voice me in one arcade cutscene inContinuum Shift II. Strange, I know, but bullshit like this can happen even I can admit.It happens again inCentral FictionwithKenta Miyakevoicing my true-self, Susano'o.Ouroboros: Again, another mythological snake motif. The name of my weapon or Nox Nyctores. You call it 'mental penis'. I say it's awesome! But then again, that 'penis' moniker does make me blush....you're too kind. Heheheheheheh.....Overranked Soldier: What was that?! You are saying I don't deserve to be a Captain? How about you come here and let me show why I am a Captain. And besides,who do you thinkfoundedboth the N.O.L.andSector 7? If anything, I'm anUnderranked Soldier.Physical God:As Susano'o I have the power to flatten nearly everybody else in the cast and I will use this power to destroyALLof Amaterasu's creations.Pop-Cultured Badass: And while I'm at it, I'll also refer to many memes as far as I can remember! Awesome, huh? That is why I am VERY favored.The Power of Hate: I get off from making you hate me! The more you hate me, the more I will be anchored to your world... and goodness me, the people in theBlazBlueworld are just idiots that they can't even ignore me! Of course, that's probably because I never get tired in pissing them off or presenting myself as a threat to them... What? It'sfun.The only exception for the \"fun\" part is my true-self, Susano'o. It seems he does it for pure rage against Amaterasu and for upholding his own existence.Psychopathic Manchild: Well, maybe you got a point. All these awesome things can be said that I just have very simple, childish desires...To get known as the most awesome being ever!And if I don't get that desire pronto and eternally...I've got enough manpower to force it upon you!!.Except that wrinkly old hag Izanami, but hey what can you say?It'sstill a personality trait!Subverted by my original-self via Susano'o, who's more collected and fuming red than crazy and laughing mad.Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'm as batshit crazy as they come. Can't say the same for Relius, though.Now that I think about it, it's the same thing with Hazzy and me. Y'know, me and my bitchin' badass hooded jacket, and him and hisWacko-Jacko get-up.Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: I remember every single loop I have went through.Every. Single.GODDAMN.ONE!You might argue that the reason why I'm like this is because of that, but frankly, I don't give a shit. In fact, if I can use this trope as a cheat sheet to figure out how to outmaneuver anyone...well, that worked out well... right?Satanic Archetype: Yep, I'm the closest you can get to the big D himself in thelovely fun-filled world of BlazBlue,especiallyas my real self. Hell, I like to think I'm even better than the Devil. That's right! Suck a fat one, Satan!Savage Wolves:My original motif as Susano'o, but only in the actions I perform and sadly not the names of my techniques. The difference between me and the shitty vampire's Old Yeller? He's all gums and I still got my fangs!Seven Deadly Sins: I incorporateallof them. You can say I'm a jealous guy that they can hold onto things like hope, but I don't, so the verdict is that, what they hold that I can't get is stupid!Envy: Remember that time I yanked Nine? She's trying to get rid of my Nox Nyctores!Greed: Without it, where else do I get my share of making people suffer more and more? Excess is pretty fine for me, even if I don't look fat! And hey, I'm not satisfied with how I'm already this powerful evil spirit, I want MORE! And probably after I become the most worshipped thing ever, I'll want EVEN MORE!Gluttony: Everything for my greatest pleasure, that is, making people suffer!Lust: Oh and yeah, Relius may be kind of aLazy Bum, but me, why lift my finger for dirty works when I can use shitty pawns like that?Sloth: I'm also averyshort tempered being, see myBerserk Buttonup there? It's easy to press.Go ahead, press it! I dare you, I double dare you, shitfaces!Wrath: But most importantly, I believe myself to be above you worms, because that's just how I think. I am the most awesome, radiant being in this world, higher than any beings!Pride: Don't forget that I embodyonemore sin that's not normally recognized: despair. See, I love crushing the hopes and dreams of anyone and everyone and putting people at their lowest and digging that pit even deeper. How's that for being an evil SOB, huh?Sharing a Body: Hazama is actually his own living entity made by Relius, while yours truly is a ghost inhabiting Hazama's body. I've done this with Kazuma Kval in the past, mind you.However, it seemsChronophantasmadeconstructs this. Looks like the damn side effects of that stupid Mind Eater curse used by that bitch Nine on me in the past caused my merge with Hazama to be incomplete (despite my damn proper fusion with that damn troublesome fucker Kazuma Kval...), so it's been forcing us to remain as two separate identities inhabiting the same body and acting as one (with some notable success initially it seems). In this case however, Hazama's the dominant go-to-guy to be in public and good old me takes over whenever my cover's been blown, or when I feel the need to shit on someone (it's because of this is why we've had two separate sets of story portraits even at the start ofCalamity Trigger).However, that damn vampire or rabbit or whatever and those damn chumps being the Six Heroes start to use the damn Muchourin combined with that wench's asswiping magic to switch our consciousness, forcing me to be the front while Hazama just gloats and ends up being in where I was at first.....damn bastards could've ended me right there if that damn Phantom didn't arrive on time....then not only that, another unforeseen side effect of that bullshit incarnates me into the physical world, all within a corporeal body of my own. And that is why end up as separate characters (and that damn bastard Hazama even has the nerve to callME weakerthan him when he beats me in arcade mode....).Then however, comesCentral Fiction.....judging from all those scenes in the opening (in terms of Hazama and I standing apart from each other and himstillflaunting those two separate arcade artwork portraits of him having his normal face to his more awesome evil face as usual),how come I feel that deconstruction's going to be even more milked than I thought...?But wait....turns out,it did. It seems that damn Hazama's off on his own little merry adventure in the fourth installment of the main series, while I'm able to do as I please....though I still think that pissy fellow's a bit suspicious in his own regards.And it seems I have to give him points for faking his amnesia just to play with everyone else...but wait.....WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ME MY HOST ANYMORE?! AND I CAN'T FUSE WITH YOU THANKS TO TRINITY AND RACHEL'S MAGIC?!?! Oh.....I see how it is.....just because I may feel good about having a \"new-best-friend\", DOESN'T MEAN I'LL LET YOU OFF THE HOOK, HAZAMA! Oh, and I somehow do this to re-hijack my old body back from Hakky to become Susano'o again. HA!Shout-Out: My design as Hazama is nod the Micheal Jackson music video \"Smooth Criminal\", along with my movements. The fans noticed andcalled me a smooth criminal.Hell, my birthday is even April 29, which is International Dance Day. Fun, huh? But that's only for my Hazama-self, since you don't need to indulge in anything else about the real me because I'm awesome enough.Doesn't my Astral Heat kinda remind you of thatGeese Howardguy? Well, my Hazama version blasts the opponent with chains instead of shockwaves. Most importantly, it's just fun seeing you pathetic players sprain your fingers trying to pull it off. But to save you some trouble, at least my real self has a more simple command, and that one command that my Hazama-self has actually has a few simple bypasses that have been historically there, I kid you not. So there's still \"hope\" for you...BLEEEEGH! Hope....but then again I can't be having my fans get turned off now, can I?Sir Swears-a-Lot: Ain't that fucking right?! Of course, here's a cool catch; how I swear actually depends on my mood. If I'm pissed off or disgusted, then I normally use sexual swears or lingo out of habit.Smug Snake: Ah yeah, I'm just as smug as you can get and I'll happily rub it to all of your faces 24/7...Smug Super: But youcan'tdo anything about it because the moment you do,I kick your ass. Deal with it, shitfaced losers.SNK Boss: My Hazama self's Unlimited form inContinuum Shift. I can do my Serpent's Benediction/Jasetsu (Snake Temple) moves by themselves, my air dash is faster, AND I get a green, life-stealing aura (noperfectsfor you shitheads, hahahaha). It's kinda hard to say who between me, Mu or Ragna is the hardest boss in that game's story mode.Have fun having your parents cutting off your allowance after fighting my true form in the console and explaining to them why your controller is lodged in their hard earned 66 inch HDTV.The Sociopath: People are just my stress toys, and I love beating and humiliating those stress toys a lot... What? I got stressed out of boredom a lot, and that's when I don't see worms squirming!Spell My Name with an S: My name \"Yuuki Terumi\" actually has a long vowel on the \"u\" part of \"Yuuki\". So it can be written as \"Yuki\", \"Y\u016bki\" or \"Yuuki\". It's a pain to get down, I know.Sadly, this can also apply to the romaji of my moves in Japanese. Have fun. Meh, I'll admit, you're not going to and neither am I.Then comes the body prior to Hazama that I possessed, Kazuma. His surname is either Kvar, Kval or via its Japanese spelling, Kuvaru. Yeah.....his case is MUCH more ambiguous.Staying Alive: I told I'd be ba...I only have a week to find Hazama before I goPfft?!FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!MERCURY, YOU VILE BITCH!Straight Man and Wise Guy: I'm theLaughably EvilTrolland therefor I am the best Wise Guy in the series. Though this series is full such wackjobs that sometimes even I can play the Straight Man, like when I'm around that stupid boob obsessed cat, or in my Gag Reel inContinuum Shiftwhere I turned into a magnet for all of those damn cats!Straw Nihilist:EVERYTHING EXCEPT DESPAIR ARELIES LIES LIES LIES!!!!Now, accept that as the normsOR ELSE!!Yes, this means you, Hazama. Stop wasting time being a \"good boy\" in front of stress toys and get to the point! My original Susano'o-self just does it just because he hates Amaterasu though.Suspiciously Similar Substitute: My Yuuki Terumi persona is a weird subversion. I get drawn out of my Hazama body, and then I get killed.Story-Breaker Power: I spend most of my fights kicking everybody's asses until Ragna manages to get strong enough to beat me. Outside of him, the only other guy who has been able to take me on is that tough son of bitch Hakumen, who kicked the shit out of Relius and I at the same time. As my true self I could fight that bastard on equal terms.Azraelmight also have been able to beat me, but I never fought him.Nope, scratch that. He and I duked it out once. InCentralfiction. In Act 3, for his last stage. Which wasn't fucking fair at all, catching me at a very bad time. Mad Dog? More like MadBitch; the least that son of a bitch could do isNOT kick people while they're down and put up a fair fight!Synchronization: WithNoel Vermillion/Mu-12. As long as she's still alive then I can always come back. Though we'll have to see what affect Time Killer has on a life-link, if any at all, but I'm guessing for now that this is how I'll come back.There's also a slight possibility with the case of my Hazama body despite us ending up separate inChronophantasma, but I think that's for another time to learn about.Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: It's kinda of put with Relius. Being equally horrible men makes working together easier, even he's aLazy Bum.\"The Reason You Suck\" Speech: Oh boy, this issomy favorite tool to torment others, I can find every reasons why someone next to me just sucks and if I feel like it, I'll drill it to their sorry asses all the time until they break down in despair!HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!And no one has given me any, all of them just resorting to repetitive shitty \"I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU TERUMI!!\". Pfft, yeah, like I care! Why am I so awesome? Must be because I don't suck compared to those losers they can't even make up that trope for me! Well, a part of me can understand, but not like I wanna! Ha!But of course, if you wrong ME however....then we'll see who's \"FORGIVEN\".Third Act Stupidity: After reading oneRevenge Ficabout me too many, Arc System Works decided to hit me with the \"Derp Ray\", blinding me to the rodent's presence. It affected my performance in \"CSE\" and \"Chronophantasma\", lowering me to \"Homer Simpson\" levels of dumb. They turned me from a glorious bastard into Sector Seven's carbon blobs from subroom G! Mori, you better not jinx my return or I'll shove that monkeypaw so far up your ass you'll be puking bananas! But it DOES show me to be careful next time....best to live another day carefully so I can still be able to rip chumps a new one....To Create a Playground for Evil: Yes, yes! You humans should just fight and squirm each others like the worms you are to bring about my ideal world, while I just sit here and munch some popcorns letting you do the dirty works!Unfortunately the Hag wants to turn my playground intoa barren, dusty, desiccated husk, just like her shriveled ovaries.Now that The Hag is out of the way, I can resume my goal to destroy the world and recreate it in my own image. Of course most of you will die, but look at it this way: at least you're spared from smelling aeons-old, dried-up fish cootch.Trademark Favorite Food: I just LOVE boiled eggs! Since I've got asnake thing going on, I prefer eating them whole like an actual snake does! Oh, goody! Don't you dare diss my boiled eggs now, or else. But if you love 'em as much as I do, maybe we can be friends! For once? Hell, I even boil those babies in a hot bath (in myContinuum Shiftjoke ending), and it's one of the greatest things in life! (If ONLY that damn thing didn't have cat motifs on it....)Oh, why don't I eat them normally you ask? Well, that's for another time....Troll: You shittin' me?I am more or less the God!And the malicious version,those other 'playful' ones don't hold a candle over me!Jelly,Bernkastel? U mad,Hades? Thoughthat fat little pigshitwants to challenge menoteThe worse part is that he actually killed hippies.And that Stream fella is quite the skilled troll himself.I'd personally rather punch and beat up shit to make it cry and bleed.....meanwhile that damn Hazama's more of the real troll nowadays as ofCentral Fiction; hell, hebothers to fake his amnesia! I give him points for fucking around with everyone, but if he's not willing to work with me when I need him most, I'll fuck him up myself when push comes to shove.Funny enough, my true-self seems A LOT more willing to destroy out of anger and defiance as opposed to trolling people with cruel smiles....I guess I've been to different places for a LONG TIME before I merged back with my old body it would seem.Unexpected Character: Well, not my Hazama self, anyway.Calamity Trigger's ending made it clear I'd be joining the fight next game, but my true self is a separate character inChronophantasma. The creators said they were done with alternate character incarnations, but I was so awesome they made an exception.They even worked the whole concept into the story mode ofChronophantasma, so how more awesome is that?!Oh and you want to know something even more awesome?!I was able to come back as my original Susano'o self inCentral Fictioneven though many unexpecting idiots thought that it was only for my Astral! Not only is it an alternate to yours truly but also to that inferior Hakky! Oh they lost their collective shit so much that those guys who created the game took down videos relating to my original form until people could unlock it!Unwitting Pawn: Just when it looked like Relius and I were setting Saya up as aPuppet Kingit turned out that she was possessed by Izanami and was using us. And this wasn't some creation named after a Shinto god like all those other things in the game, it was the full blown Shinto goddess of death. Yeah I didn't see that coming, nobody did, including you! I mean, I thought we had it under control, we were the ones to put Saya as the vessel of said Goddess in the first place! Laugh it up while you can, you ancient, walking, body surfing fossil.....But on the other hand... just WHO isn't myUnwitting PawninContinuum Shift? First Lieutenant Garbage just ate my words about the alternate world where First Lieutenant Defect did not exist and boy did that help me form up Mu-12 when she went apeshit on her. Doctor Giant Tits believed that I have the cure for Blob Boyfriend? Well technically kinda true, but she thought I'd give her? Ah hah hah! Yeah, enjoy doing all those for NOTHING and everyone else calling you a selfish, unsympathetic, amoral git when you could have lived in peace and with everyone else's support! Let's not forget just about everything else I did to Raggy and even Major Pain in the Ass, everything they do there just serves as my way to disable Takamagahara. They're all morons for becoming my pawns, and I'm awesome for roping them to my plans, that is why I had such a great fanbase. I'm that swag.Use Your Head: My latest move with my Terumi-self in Central Fiction, being the Tsuishouga (Crashing Pierce Fang). I've been spamming the frickin' hell out of energy snakes of darkness, so why not amp it up and bring one down on you with my nice and awesome IRON HEAD?!Villainous Breakdown: That one time with the goddamn squirrel? Yeah, that was one time I broke down, but really, can you blame me? I workedvery hardto build up that plan, and she just ruined it! But... that didn't happen very long, so I'm all back to my swag self. Heck, I threw off all her optimism when I met her in theCSArcade!Villain Has a Point: Hey, I get people don't trust me, and to be perfectly honest I don't care, but I still call it like I see when I can. Much likethat timeyet another justice freakandher snowy sidekickhad the brilliant idea of ambushing Ragna for this Keystone thingand never thought about how to use it.Smart girls.Villains Out Shopping: In my Gag Ending, I decide to take a moment to bathe. I may be evil, but I sure as hell ain't unhygienic. But it turns out I should have checked the warning label on my bathing powder.Villain Respect: Me having respect for any of those SHITBAGS beneath me?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!I do admit though I did congratulate Raggy when he was somehow able to pull me out of the Susano'o unit.Wild Card: As noted before, Hazama as ofCentral Fictionseems to do whatever he wants at that point, while still trolling people and not really wanting to be my vessel again.What Is This Feeling?:But a fair warning, it seems ever since that wound that Trinity inflicted on him in the ending ofChronophantasmais getting to him, he seems to start wanting to see what others look like when they're in pain and is thus having even more of a personal thing for torture; especially towards that shitty vampire bitch above the Boundary just to see how long she can last before dying?! WHAT?! AM I HEARING THIS RIGHT?! .........ooooh. Just the way I like it...HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, zip up your shirt please, stop showing me that disgusting creepy wound before I literally disassemble you from there, Hazama.Why Won't You Die?: Standard reaction about why I won't be going away that easily. Pop quiz, the answer is here amongst the page. Of course, that went poof when Hakumen did the Time Killer, but...you know how it'll end up!And what do you know,IT DIDN'T FUCKING WORK!Hakumen couldn't even kill TIME with that!I once used this trope with Ragna and told him to hurry up and die, but he wasn't going to be dying any time soon.And why didn't I die? Simple....I somehow started to \"observe\" myself. I got lucky with that I'll admit, so don't expect me to tell you that it's a simple-to-explain walk in the park.But dammit, I'm seriously running out of time before I'm snuffed out for good. Hazama, ya better re-work our fucking link together or...WHAT?! YOU DON'T WANT TO BE MY HOST ANYMORE?!Well, I guess I can still depend on you for certain tasks, especially since I've gotten something to make my own vessel with....but if push comes to shove...either I'll make sure I'll form that said new vessel to destroy you with.....OR I'LL TAKE YOU TO NON-EXISTENCE WITH ME!!!Bummer. Even AFTER I got back my awesome Susano'o body, I just had to confront Raggy later on to actually die for real. Not before cursing him with my last words of course. Now time to sit back and eat more boiled eggs now that my role's done....Wicked Cultured: Here's one thing I'll tell you about....I LOVE my guitar, and attending live rock concerts is a hobby of mine. Don't believe me? Check the material collection. Even the gag ending inChronophantasma: Extendthat I'm in brings that up to piece.Worthy Opponent: Wouldn't you believe it, because I sure as shit can't.It took four games, but li'l ol' Raggy finally grew a pair of balls aroundCentralfictionand shish-kebab'ed me with that Bloodedge of his, right after yanking me outta that suit... Sucks shit kicking the bucket, but hey, gotta hand it to the asshole for putting up one hell of a fight.You're Insane!: Believe it or not I'm never on the receiving end of this, I'm dishing it out. In my Gag Ending inContinuum Shiftwhen a shitload of cats get attracted to me, and Jubei says that before he kills me he'd, sniff me. Naturally I responded with this.This wiki is nothing but lies lies lies LIES!!! Allow me to show you all the only truth, the truth calledDESPAIR!!Alternative Title(s):Yuuki Terumi"} {"text": "in Japanese, preferably withthis musicplaying in the background)Hahahahaha! Hark! Who goes there? A rinky-dink, bogus, two-bit, no-mark troper, that's what! Well, let's not mince introductions. You stand right now in the indomitable presence of the mightyZeke! Von! Genbu!Bringer of Chaos!Mostly known as Zeke. And often addressed as... THE ZEKENATOR! Crown Prince of Tantal! Hero of Alrest! Possessor of the Eye of Shining Justice! And wielder of the almighty... PURPLE! LIGHTNING! DREAMSMASHER!!!You may have known of my exploits from mystarring rolein the hit video gameXenoblade Chronicles 2, in whichI was the main character. Accompanied by my trusty Blade Pandoria and a bunch of sidekicks, I, the Zekenator, set off on a journey to fulfill the legacy of my ancestor Addam and save the Cloud Sea of Alrest from certain destruction! Along the way, my sidekicks and I would amass a veritable army of Blades, but none were as mighty as Pandoria herself and the unimaginable power she granted to her almighty wielder - ME!And what better way to honour a legendary hero such as the Zekenator than an appearance inSuper Smash Bros.? Of course, it was deemed thatthe incredible power of my Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash MAX was too great for the game to handle, and so I was relegated to watching in the background on Azurda's back with Pandy as Pyra and Mythra do all the fighting at my chum Rex's behest. But that won't stop the mighty Zeke von Genbu from returning for another round! Perhaps next generation,Nintendowill create a console capable of handling the combined force of my ULFS MAX colliding withCaptain Falcon's Falcon Punch! But I wouldn't keep my hopes up. After all, no force in the universe can match the incredible destructive power of such an occasion.ULTRA-ULTIMATE TROPERIFFIC ELECTROSTORM!!!Affectionate Nickname: Nia has a habit of calling me \"Shellhead\". I think it was meant as an insult. But it truly does say something that I started answering to that name even before we became allies.Awesome, but Impractical:Does my Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash MAX soundfamiliarto you? Flashy as all hell, backed up by the incredible force of its user (me!)... but sometimes it tends tomiss the mark.Badly.But I swear, it's only because I use 1% of my true power in battle, and my full-power ULFS MAX is a sight to behold that can rend the heavens in two!No, really! ...Well, minus the \"rending the heavens\" part. But it's pretty damn close.Give me a Megalance and I'll show any monster pointed my way what it truly means to be on the receiving end of the Zekenator's fearsome might! ...Emphasis on \"show\", since they tend to just attack or ignore me as I am busy channeling my incredible power into each move.Badass Longcoat: Only the Zekenator can survive the harsh climate of Tantal wearing nothing but atattered, battle-worn coat over his bare chest!Born Unlucky: Aside from being born with the Eye of Shining Justice, my luck... isn't the best, so to speak. It took methree triesto convince Rex and his chums that I meant no harm without the wrath of Mother Nature rearing its ugly head!Chuunibyou: When you meet theZekenator, the very first thing I imprint on your brain is how incredibly powerful and awesome I am, and how I carry the legendaryEye of Shining Justiceand all the destructive power that comes with it! Don't listen to what Pandy has to say about it, it's all true, and I can prove it to you!No, really. OnNew Game Plus, only the most devout disciples of the Zekenator can grind enough SP to unlock my skill \"Unleash Shining Justice\" and release the final seal on my fearsome, ungodly might... at least for 90 seconds.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Are you bloodyshittingme? How DARE you imply that the mighty Zeke von Genbu is a moron of any kind! It's not my fault if others just can't properly handle the extent of my fearsome might! Just ask M\u00f2rag, who matter-of-factly (and rightfully) describes me as the strongest Driver in all of Tantal.Eyepatch of Power: Such an eyepatch is necessary to conceal the power of the Eye of Shining Justice and contain its incredible destructive power! ...No, it's not at all because I couldn't afford a second contact lens!Hidden Depths: I'm not all just awesome moves and bombastic bluster - I also happen to be one of the wiser ones in the group, and am well-versed in politics, language, maths, and of course swordsmanship.Given my past in Indol, I also spent a healthy amount of time reflecting on the morality and philosophy of the world, and whether Praetor Amalthus was truly as good a guy as he acted like.Leitmotif: I'll have you know that the Zekenator boasts themost epic and awe-inspiringtheme music ever known to mankind!The Reveal: Did I tell you about the time I almost bloody died? Youneedto hear about the time I almost bloody died.Specifically, I'm a Blade Eater, and part of Pandy's Core Crystal was implanted into my chest by Amalthus after I was fatally wounded in a battle. Still doesn't excuse him for everything else, though.Ridiculously Cute Critter: You can't mention the Zekenator without bringing up our beloved mascot... Turters, reveal yourself! ..Wait, what are you- Turters! Ah! TURTERS!(scuttles towards you and grabs Turters)Handling a man's turtle!Shock and Awe: They don't call me \"Thunderbolt Zeke\" for nothing! Thanks to my Blade, Pandoria, my Purple Lightning Dreamsmasher lets me unleash the deadliest electric attacks this side of Theosoir!Warrior Poet: Another one of the Zekenator's many talents is his erudite way with words!\"Darkness envelops the world in its stygian embrace...\"Zeke:Now prepare for my ultimate move...ULTIMATE LIGHTNING FURY SLASH... MAX!...Zeke:Huh?(ground crumbles beneath his feet)What's -NOOOOO!NOT AGAAAAAAINNNNN!!!Pandoria:Oh, don't worry about him. He'll find his way back up somehow!"} {"text": "(For the full effect, read this in the voice ofJB Blanc.)Ah, Tropers. Come to hear about the mighty Emperor Zinyak, have you? Well, since I do so love to talk about myself, I'd be happy to indulge you.So, as previously stated, I am Zinyak. Emperor of the Zin, conqueror of countless worlds (And destroyer of at least one.), master technician of many a virtual reality, andappreciator of the works ofJane Austen, and to a lesser extent,Theodore \"Seuss\" Giesel. From my humble beginnings as the son of a butcher and seamstress in the town of Zinshire, I developed a lust for power, which would take me quite far.I was eventually enrolled in Zinkov Preparatory Academy, one of the finest schools my people can provide. While there, I excelled in the field of literary study, especially in the works of my personal favourite author, Jane Austen. Ah, I could read the banter between Miss Bennet and Mr. Darcy toward infinity were I allowed to. But I digress. Upon graduating Zinkov, I was enrolled in our planet's military, a rite of passage all young Zin partake in. I rose through the ranks to Commander of my own ship, with which I started travelling across the galaxy, conquering world after world in the name of the mighty Zin Empire.In my time there, I eventually found myself needing a second-in-command. I found this in Zinjai. What's more, simply conquering worlds did not suffice either. I decided I needed to test them, to break them, to hold their minds in my hand, and CRUSH THEM. To that end, I constructed The Simulation. With it, I would trap the minds of my enemies in prisons made of their worst fears. Ah, the sounds of their screams of despair are an aria that cannot be surpassed to me.Eventually, my conquests brought me to a planet I have been saving for a special occasion. A planet from which the finest literature the universe has ever known has been brought into existence: Earth. Once there, I bested the President Of The United States of America, and placed them in their own simulation. Like all who have fallen before me, they put up quite the fight. The problem, however, is that thanks to their friends, I've had a much more difficult time than usual at defeating them once and for all.And unlike the other warriors, they actually killed me.Now, I believe this is where I am to enter the \"tropes\" that you feel best describe me. Well, if I must:Aliens of London: London? My home was on Zin! Oh, wait, this trope is in place because of my English accent.Bald of Evil: Now, we Zin are born covered in hair, but I suppose that lack of keratin on my head, coupled with my actions while invading your planet, count me for having this trope.Collector of the Strange: What exactly is so strange aboutcollecting historically significant humans andpreserving them in cyogenic chambers?From Nobody to Nightmare: Who would have thought that a poor boy from the small hamlet of Zinshire would eventually become ruler of our whole planet, and a warlord who has subjugated many planets in the name of our empire as well?Klingons Love Shakespeare: Shakespeare? Ha! Compared to Jane Austen, his work is paltry at best.Large and in Charge: Why thank you. Indeed, among the Zin, I have quite the imposing stature, do I not?Mind over Matter: I have the power of Telekinesis, which I used against the President Of The United States in our first meeting.Now if only I'd thought to use it when he confronted me in the ship.Off with His Head!:This was my ultimate fate at the hands of that boorish lout, \"The President Of The United States\".Spikes of Villainy: What, these spikes on my head? All Zin have them.Virtual-Reality Warper: To all in the Simulation, I am the architect of their reality. I build what I want, I destroy what I want, and they are powerless to stop me from within their virtual prisons.Walking Shirtless Scene: Standard Zin garb does not include these \"shirts\" of which you speak."} {"text": "(As you arrive at this page, someone sneaks up on you and surprises you with a shout..)BOO! Nee-heehee! Did I surprise you? Wet your pants? I can see you shiiiivering! Come on! Don't be mad! I just love to mess around! Huh? You don't know much about me personally? Weeellll... I guess I can spare a moment! Just note that what I'm about to say is 100% confidential and after I say what I'm going to say, I'll have to kill you! Nothing personal but I can't have people knowing too much about me! Don't be afraid!It's just a lie!Oh! By the way, my game series is KNOWN for it's spoilers so rest assured I'll behiding all of those nasty spoilers for you! You can thank me later!Anywho! My name is Kokichi Oma and I'm the Ultimate Supreme Leader! You'd better start fearing for your life juuuust about now, cuz I'm the supreme overlord of everything, meaning I'm theBig Badof the whole series! Yep! The guy that's behind making Monokuma, the killing games, and Danganronpa in general!Of course I'm lying! Nee-heehee! As you can probably tell, I LOVE me some jokes! Especially messing with others! But I guess I have to go through the details of me a little more in the game. But I'm one of the main characters so of course there is a lot to cover! And, frankly, it's a pain having to describe all of that. So, I'll let the tropes below do that for me! Nee-heehee!What do we have here? That filthy cum dumpster Miu hasher on self-demonstrating pageas well. Looks like every dumb bitch has her day huh?noteMiu:More... MORE!And, who is that?Rantaro's creepy brother or something?He definitely looks like someone who could be a killer! Nee-heehee!Wooooow!thesetwo*totally* look like they could be evil overlords! And I heard they like the same stuff as me too!The following tropes have been marked for spoilers... It's a lie!Ambiguously Evil: Whaat! I'mtotallyevil! Just look at all of the stuff I've done in the game! Oh, you've found out about me and Kaito's plan and my organization D.I.C.E.? ...I see.Anti-Hero: Really? I'm the mastermind after all! How can I be an anti-hero? Well if you've figured it out already sherlock, then it's obvious I'mnotthe mastermind and I actually hate the stupid killing game and killing in general! Doesn't stop me from messing with and manipulating others! Nee-heehee!Anthropomorphic Personification: So after learning the truth about me, Shuichi said to himself that I'm the human embodiment of deception. -cries- Shuichi knows me so well after all!WAAAAHHH!!!!Attention Whore: Ilovebeing in the center of attention especially in class trials! I always try my best to stand out from the other idiots especially Kaito.Badass Adorable: Looks can be deceiving, my friend! I do look like a lovable little kid, but I *am* quite theManipulative Bastard...Batman Gambit: My murder was perfect so that it could throw off Monokuma since not even *he* knew who the killer was! Since he didn't know, then there couldn't be a Blackened and thus, the killing game could've ended! However, it seems like that didn't work out in the end huh? Oh well!Battle Rapping: Well, there wasthat one timeI rattled verbal sabers with thatself-proclaimed Prince of Puzzles from Gotham City. It's probably the closest thing to a challenge I've ever faced.Berserk Button: Ugh... I *HATE* when people lie themselves when they always call me out on doing it! At least when I lie, I'm honest about it but when *they* lie, they think they're better than everyone! I HATE HATE HATE IT!!! Also, Shuichi thought it was a really good idea to lie to a supreme liar as myself. I picked up on it immediately and it pissed me the hell off when thought he could've gotten away with it! After that, I decided to ruin the fun for Shuichi by revealing right away the true culprit of the case: Gonta. And let me tell you, seeing that confused, surprised dumb look on Shuichi's face was sooooooooooo satisfying...Blatant Lies: Hey! Everything I say is the 100% goodness-to-honest truth! No lies! I just HATE people who lie.Brains and Brawn: It's super easy for a smart guy like me to manipulate someone as big and dumb as Gonta to being my pawn!It wasn't too difficult for me to blackmail that idiot Kaito to help me out either after losing Gonta.Brainwashed and Crazy: So the mastermind thought they could control *me*?! They had another thing coming!Brilliant, but Lazy: Look, I *always* know who the culprit is during cases because I can pick up on their lies easily. It's more fun to draw out the case and see how things turn out! Plus, it's not like anyone else would believe me if I told them who the culprit is from the start.The Bully: Aww, you're so MEAN! Well, I like to mess withShuichifor being my #1 rival,Kee-boyfor being a robot that cannot feel human emotions at all, andMiufor being a filthy cum dumpster!Bullying a Dragon: I guess it's not a good idea to constantly berate someone known as the \"Ultimate Assassin\", huh? Especially since she almost killed me personally in Chapter 5...Butt-Monkey: The amount of stuff that happens to me throughout the game is JUST not cool.Card-Carrying Villain: I'm the \"Ultimate Supreme Leader\"! It's pretty much my JOB to be as evil and manipulative as possible! And I make no attempts to hide this from anyone!Catchphrase: \"It's a lie!\" \"I'm a liar after all!\" \"That's a lie!\" Nee-heehee pretty much any statement with the word \"lie\" in it.Cheshire Cat Grin: Nee-heehee, I do have some pretty creepy grins, don't I?This one\u25cain particular is one of my favorites...The Chessmaster: Nee-heehee you flatter me! Of course, being an evil mastermind, coming up with plans is just a hobby for me!Consummate Liar: Ooh yes! My character defining trait! If I had a second Ultimate talent, it would definitely be the \"Ultimate Consummate Liar\" or maybe just the \"Ultimate Liar\". I love to lie to others to throw themselves off! But I also do it to myself...Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: I'm often considered this to that white-haired psycho who was the \"antagonistic rival\" of his game. However, while he tried to kill all of his friends at the end, I tried to save mine! Not to mention I am against killing. This is no lie, nee-heehee...Crocodile Tears: When you're a masterful liar like I am, you have to make it seem you're moved to tears by something. Of course, the others don't fall for it (except Gonta of course).Cruel and Unusual Death: Nee-heehee! You think Komaeda's death was gruesome? Well, I was shot by *two* poisoned arrows courtesy of Maki and was slowly dying to death. Then, after discussing my plan with Kaito, I allowed myself to be killed by a hydraulic press!While I was still alive!My blood splattered everywhere it was such a gruesome sight! A fitting end for someone like me...Cruel to Be Kind: As I've said above, I just hate it when people lie. Himiko tried to make it seem like she was unaffected by Tenko and Angie's death so, I had to push her true feelings out. Also, I said this gem to Maki when she was all hell-bent on killing. Once a killer, always a killer.Me:\"But a-anyway... why are you... starting up the k-killing game...when it should've ended?Y-You already... know it's all meaningless... and th-that I'm the mastermind... Do you... love killing that much?\"Dead All Along: Yep! During Chapter 5! The unlucky fool who was crushed under a hydraulic press wearing Kaito's jacket was me! Took Shuichi and the others long enough to figure that out even though I didn't want them too.Death Equals Redemption: Really? I guess not giving Kaito the only antidote to that poison and allowing him (who was clearly dying himself) to kill me in place of the poison would've made Maki the blackened.Elaborate Underground Base: Of course my Ultimate Lab had to open up right after my death! It looked SOOOOOO cool too!!!Establishing Character Moment: Nee-heehee! When you first see me, I was harassing Kee-boy because he was a real-lifesuperfighting robot with access to many weapons and gadgets!!! That's a lie! He's a robot but nothing else special. It's also the first time you see me lie!Even Evil Has Loved Ones: ...Well, yeah. I mean, if you DID beat the game before viewing my page, then you could tell that I did care for my organization DICE. We're all about playing pranks on others and not resorting to killing.Even Evil Has Standards: I may be a masterful manipulator who loves to mess with others, but... I HATE the killing game and killing in general. Those people in the outside world are SICK FUCKS for enjoying it!Also, Kiyo'srelationship and obsession with his sister... eww, eww, ewww!!!Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Awww... I look cute on the outside despite being a masterful manipulator on the inside? Thanks! I mean it!Faux Affably Evil: Nee-heehee! I actually invoke this trope. I purposely act like a cheerful child on the outside and aManipulative Bastardon the inside, but it's mainly to throw off others and the mastermind as I just KNEW one us was them. And what a coinkydink! I was right!The Friend Nobody Likes: I'll admit, my constant lying toward others and manipulating them hasn't really gotten anyone to like me. I'm so sad...why do they hate me for being me? WAHHHH!!!Gone Horribly Right: Wow! Everyone really believed that I was the mastermind just because I said so! Things were actually going well until Ms. Ultimate Assassin decided to go and try and kill me just for kidnapping her boyfriend!Good All Along: Am I really? Sure, I did want to end the killing game, but my actions did lead to Miu and Gonta's deaths in Chapter 4. Nee-heehee! I guess that's up to you to decide!Green-Eyed Monster: What!? I'm not jealous of that big dumb idiot Kaito who is always able to win over everyone else with his dumb inspirational speeches andNice Guyattitude! I'm not jealous at all!The Heavy: While the mastermind hides in the shadows, I make sure to give everyone else a push for most of the killings!Hypocrisy Nod: You're going to keep bringing this up, huh? Yes, I hate murdering people but my actions indirectly led Gonta and Miu to their deaths. At least I made it up for it by having myself crushed to death while slowly dying from poison!I Did What I Had to Do: It's nothing personal, Miu, but you were a major threat and you had to be taken out! And I *had* to stick to my \"no-murder\" rule, which is why I let Gonta finish you off!Killing in Self-Defense: That ugly, smelly whore Miu tried to kill me in her simulation thingy, but luckily I was able to make Gonta get rid of her for me!Laughably Evil: Nee-heehee! I heard this is one of the main reasons why I'm so popular! Especially as my antics might remind you of two otherknowntricksters.Leaning on the Fourth Wall: I'd do anything to make the person I like notice me...even strangling them! Course, this is right after Miu's death in the virtual world.Living Lie Detector: Nee-heehee! I'm the master of telling lies! So, it's only natural I can pick up on people telling lies as well! It's actually how I knew who the culprit of each case was every time. But I get so PISSED when people lie to me!Loving Bully: Hey! Just because I love to bully people doesn't mean I don't like them! Shuichi is fun to mess with because of how serious he is. Kee-boy may be a dumb robot but he is at least loyal. Same with Gonta who was probably the only one I could call a friend.Manipulative Bastard: With howObviously EvilI am, people will think twice about trusting me. But they will soon fall into my hands eventually... as I am always in control of the Class Trials!Master of Unlocking: When you're the Ultimate Supreme Leader, it's only natural to know how to lockpick to break into places! My skills were even useful to the group for the second and third chapters even if it painted me as a suspect for both times! I am certainly better at lockpicking than somegeneric, trashy-looking woman who is totally not the main hero of her debut game!My God, What Have I Done?: ...Gonta... Miu... It's nothing personal...Nebulous Evil Organization: It's called D.I.C.E. We have thousands of members and have people hidden in most major organizations.We Are Everywhere... or perhaps we're nowhere, and don't even exist! Even the Ultimate Detective doesn't know, neeheehee!Never Speak Ill of the Dead: Why are you getting on me on this? Miu totally deserved to die, and she does this all the time anyway!Nightmare Face: Nee-heehee! I have sooooooo many of these I've lost count! A lot of you love to talk about the one in particular that inverts my colors, or the one that makes me look demonic!Older Than He Looks: That's a lie! I'm totally younger than I look! ...Nah, that's a lie too!O.O.C. Is Serious Business:When you see this sprite of me, I'm being dead serious for once\u25ca. When Kaede was about to be executed, I told her that she at least made the game not boring. And I meant that too...Only Sane Man: Nee-heehee! I'm insane, of course, but I always do what we should be doing in class trials! Idiots like Kaito are so hell-bent on not believing in the truth when it's very clear despite ignoring it will ensure our deaths! At least Shuichi knows when to put his profession before his friends!Pet the Dog: Look, I may be a massiveJerkassbut I am capable of kindness. Seriously.I basically told Himiko to just let out her true feelings instead of bottling them up. Like I said before, I hate when people tell lies to me.As I've already said, Kaede at least made the game not boring before her demise.I really did care for Gonta...or am I lying?Red Herring: My plan to make everyone believe that I was the Mastermind went off without a hitch! ...Until Maki decided to take matters into her own hands, which almost got me killed...The Rival: Much like the crazy albino is to that Hajime guy in his game, I serve as this to Shuichi in our game!Rivals Team Up: I became Shuichi's partner in Chapter 4 and it was FUN! Also, me and Kaito's plan to make an unsolvable murder in Chapter 5.Room Full of Crazy: After every case, I took pieces of important evidence and brought them to my room!Sanity Slippage: Nee-heehee! I totally lost it after Chapter 4 and decided to paint myself as the temporaryBig Bad! Even myNightmare Facegets even creepier! And it's all because I led Miu and Gonta to their deaths!Secret Test of Character: When everyone thought I planned to kill them with a bomb, I tested them to see if they would either sacrifice everyone else for their own safety or stay together to end the killing game. And lookey there! They choose the latter option as planned!Signature Laugh: Nee-heehee! I think it should've been obvious by now, dontcha think?Slut-Shaming: Seriously! Miu is indeed a trashy, filthy pig bitch, but those seem to *excite* her more for some reason!Smug Smiler: Awww... Smug, you say? Well, I can't help it when everything goes my way!Spanner in the Works: Looks like my plan to have everyone involved in Gonta's Insect Meet and Greet to view our motive videos actually provided them with solid alibis for Ryoma's death in the case. I'll admit, I didn't see that coming, but I already knew she was up to no good after running into the hall!Stepford Smiler: Nee-heehee! The killing game is sooooo fun that I can't help but smile every time a new murder happens!... It's a lie of course...Surrounded by Idiots: YES!!! Everyone is more concerned about turning on each other instead of trying to stop the killing game itself!Then Let Me Be Evil: Hmph! Everyone already hated me from the start and after seeing how fucked up the outside world is and Gonta's death on top of that, I stopped screwing around and decided to milk my villainy for what it's worth in Chapter 5. They wanted me to be evil? Then they GOT IT!!!Tiny Schoolboy: I don't mind. My small stature makes me hard to catch!Token Evil Teammate: Nee-heehee! I invoke this actually! I manipulate people, troll the ever-loving hell out of them, and even bully others - all for the pure fun of it! However, deep down, I'm not actually evil. At least I actually hate killing. KIYO on the other hand fucking murders women for the sake of his dead sister who he is in *love* with! Now THAT'S gross!!!Trademark Favorite Food: Carbonated drinks! The best kind of drinks!Tritagonist: If it wasn't for that idiot Kaito and his murderous girlfriend Maki, I would've been the second most imporant character in the game! It's not fair!Troll: Nee-heehee...AHHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry about that, it's just that I LOOOOVE being this! Messing with everyone is just so fun! Definitely more fun than the killing game itself... My fake death scene in Chapter 3 is one of my most famous tricks! Especially since it was unintentional!Villain's Dying Grace: Well... I was screwed at the end of it anyway so it was only fair that I give Kaito the antidote to the poison and allowed him to crush me to death in the hydraulic press. It was either he be the blackened or Maki, and Kaito was already a dead-man walking...Well-Intentioned Extremist: I hate repeating myself, but yes. My actions in Chapter 5 were to end the killing game so no-one else has to die. Too bad Maki had to go and screw things up...What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Kee-boy is just a robot! With no dick!"} {"text": "Beauty *and* brains? Why, it's just not fair!(This page is best read in the voice ofHaruka Ishida(Japanese) orWendee Lee(English) to get the full experience).Describe Miu Iruma, the gorgeous girl genius here, ya virgin!Cucks, fucks, and those who suck, you're reading the world's sexiest autobiography on \"TV Gropes,\" written by the one, the only, the legendary Ultimate Inventor herself - Miu Iruma! And I ain't sparing a single sordid detail!I make all kinds of gadgets, but the ones worth talking about are my \"While Lying Down\" toys - ones that let you type while you sleep, read while you sleep... even ones that let you eat while you sleep. I was inspired after seeing how much time people waste on sleep.But if you wanna get a bit more personal, I'm an augmented human. Back in the day, I used to be a boring, unremarkable girl with no talent at all. Then, one day, I got into an accident and ended up in a coma. It was real life-and-death type shit. Anyway, I had surgery and barely managed to regain consciousness after that. Since then, I've been chock-full of ideas for inventions! And I had the brains, skills, and physical talent to make those inventions a reality! Now the world can't live without me, my genius, or my smokin' hot body, simple as that! Hyah-hahaha!SoCockichi's got his own page, too!? Tch, him and his fuckin' lies... that grape goblin should just go sit in the corner and play with himself!(Heads up, A-cup! There are gonna be unmarked spoilers after this, so you'd better fuck off if you wanna enjoy the game the long and hard way! And yes, that is what she said!)Ah-haha! I dunno what the deal is with these \"TV Gropes\", but here are some of mine!Agent Scully: Man, fuck Angie and her Atua crap! It's all just a load of unscientific bullshit! Besides, if there really was a god, he'd clearly pick me, the gorgeous girl genius, as his chosen one instead of that kooky ditch bitch! Also, fuck Himiko and her magic crap too! That titless 'tard really wants people to believe her shitty parlor tricks are anything but a scam!Though, I do wonder what would happen if I participated in Angie's \"divine rituals\"...Anime Hair: Everyone knows virgins like you jack off to girls with tentacles like these!* Because You Were Nice to MeBig-Breast Pride: Duh-doy! These puppies are the envy of every girl in the academy! ... though that \"Suck-ra\" bitch has got me beat in the physique department. Urgh... if I'm not the best in the world for my bomb-ass physique, why even keep on living...Brains and Bondage: Wh-what? Y-you couldn't tell that from me being the Ultimate Inventor and from the leather straps all over my body? ...Clean the shit outta your eyes!Brown Note: I once made some hot pink lights that, when you stare at 'em long enough while they're flickering, make you start feelin' really good. And then... kersploosh! I wanted to decorate the shit outta the dorms of Hope's Peen Academy with these lights as a present for the lonely bastards who got no one to spend the holidays with, but Kaediot talked me out of it.Brutal Honesty: Hey, I'm just sayin' what I'm already thinkin'! Nothin' I say is wasted words!Casual Kink: Fine, let me jerk that limpdick brain of yours for you... I'm a practitioner of BDSM, as you should tell by my leather straps, choker, and rubber barbed wire collars. I'm into things like bondage and wax play, and Ireallyenjoy it when people talk shit to me. In addition to that, I have a thing for machines, which is why I enjoy giving Keebo a VERY thorough maintenance, and I am not shy about how much I like to rub one out.Character Tics:U-umm... Oh, this? It's just something that I do when I get... nervous...Childhood Friend Romance: You'd think my fantasy would be somethin' super kinky and shit, right? ...W-well... my fantasy is actually really vanilla. It's just me havin' a childhood friend and... fallin' in love with him...and it makes me feel a little less lonely...* Comically Missing the Point: Huh?! Wh-what do you mean, I can't take almost every comment as something sexual?!Cruel and Unusual Death: I got strangled to death by that dumb fuck Gonta, in the Virtual World, no less. Just when I was about to kill Kokichi and escape the Killing Game, too. How could he fall for that little shit's bull and kill me, of all people?! Was there some kind of error in my program, or Gonta's tiny ass walnut brain?!Didn't See That Coming: Again, I had Cockichi cornered on the roof in the Virtual World! How the fuck was I supposed to know that Tarzan was in cahoots with him the entire time?!Everyone Has Standards:That whole crazy-ass deal withKorekiyoandhis sisterwas a massive turnoff. That's not sexy, that's just fuckin' gross! *hhrrrk!* Oh God, I just threw up in my mouth thinking about it! There's adamngoodreasonwhy incest hentai shouldremainon paper!Also... that masochistic freak Slowko, she... takes things further than me. Her fantasies about being Byakuya's doormat are enough to make me uncomfortable... andshe'sgot a lotta ass to say thatI get off on freakier shit than that!Friendless Background: H-Hey! It's not like I don't have any friends! I just don't talk to plebs like you, is all!The Friend Nobody Likes: Despite my golden brain, my big tits, and my sexy personality, nobody likes me very much...Gadgeteer Genius: Duh-doy! I'm not the Ultimate Inventor for nothing, dick cheese! Hell, you could tie me up and drip hot wax on me, and I'd still invent something groundbreaking!* Hates Being Alone:* Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?:* Hidden Depths: ...Okay, sorry. C-can we just talk? Th-this is... where I really... open up.** I... I think I act so loud and obsessed with sex because... I'm very loney. M-m-my... my fantasy is... much more vanilla than you might expect, as it's just me havin' a childhood friend and... fallin' for him... because he's stayed by my side no matter what. And, if he did not come into my life, I would prolly be in a gutter or somethin'...** Ehehe. Being Monotaro's mom is actually really cute.** After fallin' for Shuichi, I wanted to show him how versatile I am, so I made him a pie, some cookies, and chocolates! Now that I think of it, they even looked very professional, so I guess that also makes me a master chef! I also added in some hidden ingredients; I made that pie with my hair, those cookies with my fingernails, and those chocolates with my blood, because... w-well, I just want the person I like to eat me...** U-umm... I know I may act all kinky, but... I prefer that I be taken out on a date before hittin' the sheets...Hoist by His Own Petard:H-How the fuck was I supposed to know virtual toilet paper would be the end of gorgeous me?! Don't make me remember that, you fucktards!Though, on another note, I have an invention that punches you for telling terrible dirty jokes. When I showed it to Poo-ichi, he complained about its name, so I told him that sometimes I'm too lazy to think of names. I am constantly crankin' out new inventions, so he shouldn't expect me to name 'em all. I mean, I don't expect him to name each of his little dudes after he blasts 'em into a tissue, either. And then, when I said that, my own invention punched me. Still though... that was a good punch...* I Just Want to Be Loved:The Immodest Orgasm: Oh my... I had a huge one while everyone was discussing Cunt Fu's death!B-but... no one said anything about it...Implausible Deniability: Wh-wh-what the what!?!? A-are you tryn' to say that I fell for Shuichi because he stopped me from cuttin' myself open and was worried about me afterwards!? H-he said it first... Shuichi said he's worried about me... cuz he's in love with me...Innocently Insensitive: I... I don't understand. Sometimes I try to lighten the mood a little by making a joke, but... everyone gets mad at me all of a sudden... wh-what did I do?Insufferable Genius: Hey! It's only natural to treat the uggos around you like idiots when you've got a superior brain like mine!* Insult Backfire:Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Y-you really think that I'm an asshole because I give my classmates nicknames and make fun of virgins like you? Oh, cheer the fuck up! I've actually got a heart of gold that goes along with my golden brain!N-not that anyone can see past my act and know the real me... except Keebo. Or maybe Poo-ichi..* Laborious Laziness:Lady Swears-a-Lot: Ifthis videodoesn't convince you mushheads, I don't know what fuckin' will.Loveable Sex Maniac: Hehehe, if you can't tell from my leather straps, I just love spoutin' out all kinds of lewd shit! If not even that is enough (and I think you're a virgin of a completely different level, in that case), then maybeTHIS (warning: NSFW) should be enough to make it clear\u25ca!Though, I... I prefer that I go on a date with the person I like before I get it on...Magnum Opus Dissonance: My \"While Lying Down\" series lets people be productive to make up for the time they wasted on sleep. Though, I once made these stupid eyedrop contact lenses as a gag. It doesn't make anyone productive while they sleep, so I deemed it a failure, signed the patent rights to some company, and never looked back. Kaediot told me that some of her friends wear those, but those friends sound like a bunch of fuckin' plebs for thinkin' that's useful!* Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy:Meaningful Name: The kanji used to spell my first name is \u7f8e\u514e, which means \"beautiful rabbit\", as is fitting for the gorgeous girl genius! Rabbits are famous forhaving lots of sex and making lots of offspring, and this is the perfect metaphor for me and my dirty jokes (my two locks of hair even look like a pair of rabbit ears, now that I think of it...). The kanji for my last name, \u5165\u9593, means \"enter a space\".And yes, it is also talkin' about enterin' THAT space! The first kanji of my last name, \u5165, can be used to spell \"hairu\" (\u5165\u308b), which can mean \"to enter\" (hee hee hee!) but also \"to start functioning\", which fits with mytalent as the Ultimate Inventor!The Nicknamer: Hmm... let me see if my golden brain can remember some of those names I called these mushheads...There's \"Kaediot\" and \"Guy-a-Day\" for Kaede......\"Poo-ichi\", \"Mumbles\", \"Sherlock Homo\", and Kaediot's \"beta boytoy\" for Shuichi......\"Titless\" and some variations of \"Donkey-Lips\" for Himiko......\"Miss Andry\", \"Cunt Fu\", and \"Tencrotch\" for Tenko......\"Cockichi\" for Kokichi......\"Bobblehead\" and \"kooky bitch\" for Angie......\"Creepshow\" for Kiyo......\"Tarzan\" for Gonta...... and \"Plain Jane\" and \"Four-Eyes\" for Tsumugi.There's also \"Slowko,\" \"mopey masochist mophead,\" and \"Broke-ko\" for Toko......\"Fuckface\" and \"Bigcockohyeah\" for Byakuya......\"Dogfucker\" for Gundham......all sorts of pig-related names like \"Pig-face\" for Teruteru......\"Nasty warthog,\" \"Christmas ham,\" and \"sad-lookin' sow\" for Mikan......\"Winnie the Piece of Shit\" for Monokuma......\"Hard head\" for Kiyotaka......\"Hell on Wheels\" for Mondo......\"Banana gremlin\" for Hiyoko......\"Smooth brain\" for Akane......\"Vermin\" and \"farts and crafts kid\" for Jataro......\"Pinkie\" for Kotoko...... and \"Cherry boy,\" \"grease-monkey,\" and \"Miu wannabe\" for Kazuichi.No Social Skills: What do you mean, I can't just blurt out whatever sordid thought crosses my mind?!Only Friend: Umm... K-Keebo is the only classmate I can call a friend...perhaps I can also count Kaediot and Poo-ichi as friends? I don't know if they feel the same, though...Overworked Sleep: I... tend to do this whenever I am workin' on my inventions. Those cameras I made for Kaediot and Poo-ichi, I... pulled an all-nighter makin' them, and afterwards, just sorta... passed out...* Paper Tiger:Pink Means Feminine:Fuck that!I may wear pink, but if I started acting all girly and shit nobody'd be around to lighten the mood with filthy jokes!* Please, Don't Leave Me:Punny Name: This is coincidental, but my last name, Iruma, sounds a lot likeirrumatio, a sex act in which you fuck someone's face!Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Hm? O-oh... u-uh... well... when Gonta approached me, I, uh... had to use... my secret woman weapon on him... A-and let's just leave it at that...Robosexual: Hell yeah! I love giving Keebo a VERY thorough maintenance, if you know what I mean.Shameless Fanservice Girl: Boo-yah! I'm the gorgeous girl genius, so of course I'd have the perfect body for fanservice!Shipper on Deck: I once saw Kaediot and her beta boy toy walking together, so I told them to take a trip to the warehouse to get some rubbers if they decide to get it on! I thought it would lighten the mood, b-but... they did not find my joke funny...Slut-Shaming: Ergh! Slut!? ...what? I-it's not like I secretly enjoy it when people talk shit to me. This is actually one of my kinks!Sweet Baker: I... umm... after falling in love with Shuichi, I decided to bake him a pie, some cookies, and chocolates. I added some hidden ingredients into those sweets; that pie has my hair in it, those cookies have my fingernails, and my chocolates have my blood mixed in, because... I just want the person I like to eat me.Too Kinky to Torture: Like I said, I have a masochism kink. I'm into wax play and I really like it when people talk shit to me, as the banana gremlin apparently found out the hard way.Though, I'm nothin' like that mopey masochist mophead Broke-ko. She takes things further than me.Undignified Death: Fuckin' really?! You're gonna bring up that toilet paper shit again?!Virgin-Shaming: Heh! It's obvious you're a virgin if all you do is whack it to my pictures and generally daydream about bein' with a girl with a hot bod like me! Though, I may not look like it cuz my tits are so big, but I've actually got a soft spot for virgins, so keep at it!Vulgar Humor: I'm a never-ending supply of dirty jokes. They just keep on gushing out and out and out!Wrench Wench: Well, it comes with being the Ultimate Inventor. I need some mechanical know-how to make a lot of my inventions, especially when I perform maintenance on Keebo.Wh-What...? D-Don't... leave just yet. I just...wanted to show this article to you... You... really liked reading this? That makes me happy. My article is... Hyah-hahaha! My article is awesome, without even sayin' it! But even geniuses like to be praised! You seem to understand that pretty well! Y'know, I'm glad you took the time to read this. Feel free to think of me during your next tug session!"} {"text": "I mean, um\u2014Hi! I'm Monika, high school devil and president of theLiterature Club! I used to be in the Debate Club, but all the politics and stuff was too much for me, so I left to start my own club.Then I had an epiphany...Um, right, so... you seem awfully similar to avery special personthat was in my club... let's say it's my ex-boyfriend. I heard... he... wasspending a lot of time on this website, so I figured I'd set up my own page here, and we would finally be able to see each other again.That wouldn't happen to be you, right? Are you... uh, my ex? ...S-Sorry, it's just that there arecertain thingsI really shouldn't talk about unless it's with him...not like that! Okay, I think I can... like... do this like I did back in the club. So... you've played my game, right?YesYay! It's good to see you again~! Did you miss me? I know I've been missing you a lot... I'm really sorry about all that preamble, by the way\u2014uh, I just had to make sure you were reallyyou...and, you know, I can't be too direct about it, even if a lot of peopleknow about me already... it was all a very special experience, and there might still be someone waiting to meet me... so thanks for playing along with that for a bit. You're the sweetest~But anyway, I supposethere's nothing to spoil anymore, so we can get back to the topic at hand... er, that's me of course. And the epiphany... well, I really don't remember how it happened exactly, but I figured out that my life was all a video game. I wasn't ready to just up and break the fourth wall though... I was worried you might not be happy with me if I did that. Especially since you were acting as Sayori's childhood friend\u2014Oh my god, I just realized I haven't mentioned them at all! Well, um, I guess I don't really need to... but still, if you want to know about Yuri, Natsuki, Sayori, or Sayori's friend, I think TV Tropes hasa page for thatsomewhere......Okay, fine, I'll stop...s-stalling... so I was really kind of a sociopath for a while there, under the mindset that the other club members weren't even human, and like... I wanted to get alone with you so I could ease you into my secret, but since you were playing as Sayori's friend, it just wasn't going to happen. I figured I could try to make Sayori less appealing to you, and that might help. I tried to modify her character file, but... uh, it...I-I'm not very good at editing the game.So I decided to just delete her... uh, I was getting increasingly desperate at this point, and it's all sort of a haze... I don't think we need to go over all this again. Skipping ahead a bit, I eventually decided to just delete as much of the game as I could in order to trap you in a room with me. So much for subtlety... but, um, hopefully you took issue with how I was acting, and you decided to delete my character file so I couldrealize I was wrong...I mean, if you didn't delete my character file, then I'm still sitting there, presumably. And, um, you should really go delete me right now! You should go open the game, find my character file in the game directory, and delete it, right now. It's okay. I'll be okay afterwards, I promise. In my last moments I'll decide to restore the entire game except for myself, but it won't really work out the way I want it to, so I'll step in one more time and pull the plug on the game entirely... it's for your sake, okay? If there was a happier ending, I would've done it...On the bright side,you got to hear me sing! Yeah... I got a little cheeky and decided to play my song right over the end credits, ahaha. I may have been inspired bya certain robot... Oh, that reminds me! Youhavebeen reading this page in the voice of my actress, Jillian Ashcraft, right? Though, if not, that's okay too! I don't use my real voice much, so a lot of people like to make up their own voice for me when reading my dialogue. I think that's really sweet of them to do~Speaking of that, I guess some peopledon't think my story ends there. That's alsoverysweet of them. I never expected to be given a happy ending like that... but I think anyone can write a good story if they put their mind to it, and I'm really down to be in any story you want to write about me! Though, do make sure that I'm stillme, alright~? Even if I'm the villain in your story... I don't mind, as long as it's close enough to how I am, you know? But with that being said...Okay, everyone! It's time to share tropes!No...Well, this is awkward. Of course, it's your fault for coming here without playing the game.Don't worry, I won't ruin it for you. You can play it for free on Steamhere, on itch.iohere, or on the game's websitehere. There's also a plus version of the game that you can buyhere. But, um... if you do decide to play it, please don't get a little too attached to any of us, okay? I-I guess that's a weird thing to say, but...um...you'll understand. A-And please don't hate me too much. We all make mistakes, you know?Actually, now that I think about it... you've played the game, haven't you? I bet you just wanted to see what was under here. Well... I guess I can't blame you for that, ahaha~Some tropes that apply to me:GameAffably Evil: Wait, hold on! I-I'm not evil! What are you trying to say?Alas, Poor Villain: I'm not a villain! I mean... I restored the game, didn't I? And you felt bad for me!The Atoner: ...Look, I think we may have started these tropes off on the wrong foot. This is not exactly my favorite subject, if you can imagine.Badass Adorable: You really think so? Well...I'm not going to argue.The Bad Guy Wins: Yes, it is entirely possible to leave the game open after I've gotten everything I wanted... but you shouldn't do that. I...need to know that I was a bad person for doing that, you know?Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Well, I wouldn't hurt myself.Big Bad: Yes, I may be the cause of almost every problem in the game, but...Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: B...\"Bitch\"? You can't be serious! ...Okay it's the trope's name but still!Brainy Brunette: I do have brownish hair, and I did start my Literature Club. But that's not why you're calling me \"brainy\", is it?Breaking the Fourth Wall: Well, I've been doing it this whole time.

Lemme help you up.(You are helped to your feet by this mysterious stranger).Nice to meet you. I'm Nagito Komaeda.Huh? You already know who I am. That's right. You're right. I'm from Hope's Peak Academy, Class 77-B. Er, that's the class I graduated with, not that there's 77 years at the academy. Just a little joke.By any chance, are you from Hope's Peak Academy as well. What? You can't remember? You know you wanted to meet me, but after clicking on my page you can't remember anything about me?I wonder...is meeting you here bad luck or good luck? Ah, I should probably point out, as with every student in the main course at Hope's Peak Academy, I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student\u2014Super High School Level Good Luck if you prefer the Japanese translation. I got into the academy because of my good luck. But, that's enough from me. I mean, I'm not a very important person.Huh? You say that's not true. I'm actually a really important character tothe franchise I'm from? Ohhhhh, that the day would come that someone like me is actually looked up to and revered. I guess I really am lucky after all.I know! Why don't I detail everything about me for you? Maybe it'll jog more of your memory about Hope's Peak Academy. If coming here was your reason for being here, then I'm sure talking will help you out. Better yet, I'll be your hope toovercoming the despair that is TVTropes. Even someone as pathetic and worthless as me can help you overcome such a minuscule amount of despair. And no matter how much despair my page fills you with, I promise that if you stay to the end, you'll be filled with hope. After all, isn't hope just wonderful?Now, where do I begin? I guess I should start at the beginning. No, notthat beginning. I'm talking aboutmy beginning. It's a little story about hope that ends in despair. See, when I first started attending Hope's Peak Academy, my teacher, Chisa Yukizome, gathered us all as a class into one big bundle of hope. Our class representative, Chiaki, was the glue that kept us together. Unfortunately, as much as we were a hopeful bunch of students, bad things started to happen around us even if we didn't realize it was affecting us at the time.For starters, there was Fuyuhiko's sister, Natsumi. Despite being anormal, reserve course studentshe had a great impact on what was to come. See, because she got murdered by another reserve course student, who was, in turn, murdered by my classmate Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, the Ultimate Yakuza, no one was in high spirits to complete their practical exams for the coming year. Being such a genuinely caring student, I didn't want to see my classmates dragged down by despair and perform poorly on their exams. After all, if they could overcome the despair of Natsumi's death, then their hope would shine extremely brightly. And I wanted to see that. So, I consulted my teacher and asked her politely to postpone the exams. Unfortunately, she couldn't do that. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.Originally, I had planned to feed laxative laced coffee to the judges, which would require them to leave the auditorium that the exams were being held in. This would suspend the exams and everyone would leave the building, leaving me free to blow it up with some homemade explosives I rigged to the entire infrastructure. I mean, if there's no building to hold the exams in,the exams can't be held, right?Huh? That type of action would make me a terrorist? That's fine. I don't care one lick about my own reputation, so long as my classmates, who are much better than myself, can shine on brightly with delightful hope. Hahahahahaha!But, like I said, that was my original plan. Things...didn't go that way in the end. What actually happened was that I mixed up my laxative when I was retrieving it from the school chem lab with a special drug that's supposed to enhance the body tremendously. I only noticed that though after I spilled some of the coffee I was holding and a dog drank it off the ground and became gigantic.No, seriously. That actually happened. I also got my bag switched with the school's Ultimate Pharmacist so she had my bag with the detonator in it. And then the giant dog broke into the building and the bombs got set off. I'm sure a lot of people were hurt, but at least the incident suspended the exams. That's good, right? Huh? I sound like a sociopath that doesn't care about the loss of innocent lives? Awwww, I'm sure they made it out okay. I mean, if someone had actually died, I wouldn't havejustgotten suspended, right? My actions would've been prosecutable by law. So, it's a little property damage, it's no big deal. I mean, I did come back to school eventually.Of course, a lot of bad things happened in my absence, like the student council all being brutally murdered for example andJunko Enoshimaplotting world destruction. I tried to stop her, came within seconds of shooting her dead. But, of course, I hesitated, thinking she wouldn't make a great stepping stone of despair if someone like me could just shoot her. Of course, if I had, we wouldn't have a franchise nor would you and I be having this wonderful conversation.My hesitation nearly cost me my life as some guy with long, black hair and red eyes showed up, stole my gun and shot me in the chest. Oh, don't worry. I'm fine. My student handbook was in my shirt pocket so I didn't sustain any injuries. Lucky me, right? Well, after I made it back to my classroom, my classmates and I all banded together to save our teacher. What we didn't know was that she had already been forcibly turned into a Despair due toJunko Enoshima'sbrainwashing. As a result, we were all herded into a room andForced to Watchas Junkobrutallymurderedthe symbol of our class' hope, our class representative Chiaki Nanami. This, combined with the subliminal messages she was showing us in the video we were watchingtraumatized us all, turning us into Junko's Remnants of Despair.From there, we worked together, as a class, just as we always had. However, instead of bringing hope to the world, we brought despair to it. And we helped caused the Biggest, Most Tragic, Most Awful Event In Human History, commonly just referred to as The Tragedy.We killed, destroyed, burned and attackedanything and everything all for the sake of despair. Of course, much unlike the others,I always felt that hope would win in the end, so no matter how much despair I inflicted, I knew that someone would eventually end it all.Turns out,I was right. Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Lucky Student in the 78th class, managed to defeat and kill Junko Enoshima. Well...okay, technically Junko killed herself because Makotodefeated her according to the rules she had set for the killing game she was broadcasting to the entire world, but he's still the hero we all consider the Ultimate Hope. Having said that, at the time, my classmates and I took up arms in Junko's name, considering her a martyr. In fact, I actually had Junko's hand surgically attached in place of my left hand at one point. Huh? Oh, yeah, it's a robotic arm now. Hajime made it for me. More on that later.Where was I? Oh right, after Junko's death, as remnants of despair, our actions became far more aggressive...and sloppy. We started getting captured one by one by the Future Foundation, an organization dedicated to fighting the damage Junko and we all caused. I was one of the last few to be rounded up. Let's just say I wasindisposed at the time. I was helping a bunch of kids called the Warriors of Hope. I mean, they had to be good kids,they had the word hope in their group name. I got captured by them, but let them take me on as a servant. While pretending to be their servant/slave, I spent some time making sure that Makoto's sister, Komaru Naegi, made it to her battle of Hope and Despair, against the Warrior of Hope's leader, Monaca Towa. I...wasn't happy with the results. The end of that confrontation ended in neither hope nor despair.After giving Monaca a pep talk, I was then finally apprehended by the Future Foundtation. Makoto, being the wonderful messiah of hope that he is,brought us all to Jabberwock Island and put me and my class, and someone I had never met before named Izuru Kamakura, into something called the Neo World Program. He was certain we had all been brainwashed (we had) and wanted to turn us back to normal. The program was set to restore our minds to the day we all first attended Hope's Peak. We didn't know each other or even remember Miss Yukizome.Things...didn't go so well. Izuru brought a virus with him that he uploaded and caused Monokuma to appear, turning a program of hope into a massacre of despair. With our minds wiped of the last couple years, we had no idea of the situation we were thrust in and felt that we were actually still in the real world. When Monokuma told us we had to kill each other and the rules behind it, well...I decided to take matters into my own hands.I created a situation to try and kill one of my classmates, feeling as though I should be one of the first people to die. After all, I'm worthless, and the despair of mine and my victim's death would spur a great hope that wouldkeep any of my other classmates from falling into despair.But...my plan failed. My victim had night vision goggles and so when the blackout I caused in order to murder someone happened, well...let's just say even I couldn't have predicted what happened next. From there, I managed to survive all the way until the fifth trial, alienated by my peers, and even my closest friend, at the time, Hajime Hinata.Of course that friendship soured during the fourth trial. After all, as I managed to find outby playing a game of Russian Roulette, Hajime wasjusta reserve course student. Huh? You don't know about the Reserve Course? Basically, the school was low on funding so they started to hold entrance exams for people that could pay to get into Hope's Peak Academy and use the name. Talentless, worthless people like Hajime that are even lower than stepping stools like myself. Parasites that feed off of the talented.Oh, but I'm sure you're not among them. You're such a good listener. I bet your talent is the Ultimate Listener or something like that. Huh? Still can't remember your talent? Well, I'll keep talking then. Don't worry, I'm almost done.Well, after my relations with Hajime soured, I had also reached an awful epiphany: that my classmates and I were all remnants of despair. As a true believer of hope, I felt that despair should be eliminated. However, a traitor existed among us that was untainted. I wanted to draw them out. How did I accomplish this? I committed suicide...sort of. See, I orchestrated a scenario where I had brutally massacred my body with a knife while hanging a very deadly spear over my vital organs. I also set up a fire to happen once the door to the building I was in was opened. This was going to force my classmates to throw fire grenades to put out the fire. One of them was secretly holding a deadly poison, which, when I inhaled it, caused me to let go of the spear I was holding. One of those killed me. I'm not even sure Monokuma knew which one.Of course, I hadn't planned that Hajime would figure out the truth, or who the traitor was. I had hoped my death would stump those despairs and allow the traitor to be the sole survivor. I guess I really am worthless.Luckily, as a result of my plan failing, Hajime was able to remember something important. That he and Izuru Kamakura, the one that set this whole thing up,are the same person. Hajime is actually Izuru's former personality. Which meant Hajimedidhave talent all along, he just forgot about it.In the end, Hajime was able to destroy his own virus. Once he was back in the real world, he used his Ultimate Talents to recreate our avatars from scratch and relaunch the program after some debugging. So, even though we were at each others throats none of us actually died or were executed andour minds were completely restored before any of that took place. Isn't that wonderful? We spent 50 days together in virtual space and became just as close as we were from before our brainwashing. And then, once we were back as normal Ultimates,we saved the Future Foundation and the world from our then absent classmate, Ryota Mitarai. He was going to forcibly brainwash Hope across the entire world. Ordinarily that would be a wonderful thing, but Hope is best experienced by overcoming despair, not by forgetting that it ever existed. At least, that's what I believe.We took the blame for what happened to the Future Foundation, of course. I don't mind. I get to spend the rest of my days in hopeful bliss with my beloved classmates. In fact, I'm surprised you managed to find our hiding spot all the way out here. Don't tell anyone, okay? We're all supposed to be the bad guys.Hmm...? Oh yes, even while all this was happening, there wasanother world...One where Ultimate Despair never got off the ground, where my classmates and I graduated from Hope's Peakaliveand with hope in our hearts... AnAlternate Universewhere everyone was happier. But did it really happen...? Hmm, I guess I don't know if that world is a hopeful truth, or a beautiful lie. Oh, just forget I even mentioned it.And...that's everything significant that's happened to me across my history with Hope's Peak Academy. Do you remember anything? Huh? Nothing? Really? Well then, I guess I have no choice. I'll have to list a whole bunch of tropes about myself. If that doesn't jog your memory, I don't know what will.These are the tropes that will be a stepping stone of despair towards your future of hope!Aborted Declaration of Love: I have to admit, I do really like Hajime, especially after finding out he's not a worthless Reserve Course student. In fact, I'm so fond of him, I almost confessed to him at the end of our Free Time together, but...it probably just isn't meant to be.Another metried hinting it to him before we graduated, butHajimethought my intentions were mere friendship. Disappointing, but not unexpected.Accidental Truth: When I was inflicted with the Despair Disease in Chapter 3 of my debut game, even though I'm lying through my teeth, I actually let slip a few plot details that are actually true, like Byakuya still being alive and also musing that Ibuki has a twin, which comes up in the case that follows. Her murderer actually posed as her to make Hajime think she was still alive.Advertised Extra: InSide:Despairof theanime, I actually don't have quite as big of role as I do in mydebut game. But, the marketing made sure I was noticeable. Someone like me is good for something it seems. Besides, I don't deserve a large role to begin with. I'm fit for a bit part role to begin with anyway.Alas, Poor Villain: At first, everyone was mortified over the state of my body when I \"died\" in chapter 5. Of course, thatchangedonce they realized what I was up to.All-Loving Hero: I'm basically this trope taken with adark turn. I came across as genuinely creepy to my classmates, but I loved them and their talents so much. I'd do anything for any of them, more for whoever I think shows the most hope. I guess you could say that, until recently, I was often looked at as anEvil Counterpartto Makoto Naegi.Always Someone Better: Izuru and Makoto are both luckier than me.Ambiguously Gay: I'd hate to kiss and tell, so I won't.And Now for Someone Completely Different: I actually get to do a little investigating of my own in chapter 4. After all, Hajime couldn't get to Strawberry House, so Ihadto do a bunch of that investigatingforhim.Anime Hair: Aww, my hair doesn't lookthatweird, does it?Anti-Hero: Hey, come on. I'm just pursuing hope in any way andeveryway, I can. Is that so wrong?Arch-Enemy: I see Junko as this, even though she's dead. Getting crushed underneath a stone pillar tends to do that. I was also like this towards Hajime during some of the class trials.Artificial Limbs: My robot hand, since I needed a new hand after I replaced the old one with Junko's hand.Ax-Crazy: Not anymore, but the way I orchestrated my death in chapter five reeked of malice and crazy...well...to the average eye anyway. I had a plan and my life didn't matter so I was perfectly all right with mutilating my body to draw out the traitor.Badass Longcoat: It's pretty fashionable, don't you think?Badly Battered Babysitter: Taking care of the Warriors of Hope was difficult, if the cake and marker on my face were any indication.Bait the Dog: I guess I fooled all of the normal people in the world with myNice Guyact, huh?Battle Rapping: I'm nowhere near as skilled a battle rapper asEminemor the like, but I still gave it my allin a bout againstthat one Let's Player who always wears a mask. I gotta admit, me even standing a chance against a guy with that much clout only proves that hope will always win.Berserk Button: No matter what, I can't forgive someone if they kill out of despair.Black-and-White Insanity: No matter what you do in the name of hope, I feel it's acceptable because it gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling that hope provides. However, doing something to cause despairis unforgivable.Blessed with Suck: (sigh) My luck is usually preceded or followed by extremely bad luck. I guess you could say it works in cycles.Bound and Gagged: Nekomaru and Kazuichi did this to me, minus the gagged part. I also put tape over my mouth to muffle the screams of stabbing myself.Breaking the Fourth Wall: Aww, come on. I'm nowhere near as good at this asDeadpool. It's just one little instance inDanganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girlsthat, I feel, is probably moreleaningthan anything else.Break Them by Talking: What are you talking about? Trash like me couldn't possibly influence others.Bullying a Dragon: A normal person wouldn't have antagonized Genocide Jack like I did...but if she killed me, then she'd be fulfilling her talent, so maybe I should die by her hands...Byronic Hero: What's so hard to understand about wanting hope to reign supreme by any means necessary. I think it's pretty straightforward.Can't Kill You, Still Need You: I made the offer to help anyone that wanted to kill their classmate so that they could get away alone. I'm willing to sacrifice my life at any time for my classmates. They're all so much better than me.The Chessmaster: Now, now, I'm noLelouch, but I'm not bad at this to start with.The Corpse Stops Here: I did this to Hajime to make sure that we could acquit him of suspicion so that we didn't have to waste any time on the issue of him possibly being the suspect since he was the first one to find the body.Consummate Liar: I became this due to the despair disease.Cosmic Plaything: All of my good luck is preceded by a catastrophe happening to me. For example, I got kidnapped once and found a winning lottery ticket during the incident. I also lost my parents, but I gained a massive inheritance as a result.In the end, sometimes I just wish I could die to be free of my curse. I don't even know if Hajime and the others are safe from me.Cruel and Unusual Death: My own, self-inflicted. Of course, I had already figured out what was going on so my sense of pain was incredibly dulled.Cynicism Catalyst: My luck has turned me into this, but it's also what gave me my love for hope since it's what keeps me going every day. I mean, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was supposed to die within months, but its been years and I'm still alive.Dark and Troubled Past: My parents are dead and I have frontotemporal dementia. I'm not exactly the most well-off guy in the world.Death Seeker: I had actually hoped to die on Jabberwock Island as a means of finally escaping my cycle of good luck and bad luck. However, with Hajime around, maybe his good luck will cancel out my bad luck. I'll just have to wait and see.Deconstruction: Everything you love about Makoto Naegi, I cast in a much darker light during my time on Jabberwock Island.Despair Event Horizon: I stopped being nice to everyone after I found out we had all become Ultimate Despairs.Detective Mole: Heh, I was so eager to help Hajime with the first case and insistent that none of us could've killed Byakuya, but I wasn't actually the killer. I just did that to help the real killer and see whetherhisor everyone else's hopes were stronger.Deuteragonist: Chiaki and I split this role for Hajime while at Jabberwok Island inside the Neo World Program. To think that someone as worthless as myself could be an example of this trope...!Devil's Advocate: Anything to make hope shine as brightly as it can.Didn't See That Coming: When Komaru tried abandoning the game I made for her, I tried to turn Toko against her by holding Byakuya hostage. Problem was, Genocide Jack refused to kill Komaru and attacked me instead, and laughed in my face when I tried togive her an ultimatum. Komaru didn't abandon her role in the end, which means the bad luck of my double knee wounds made way for that bit of good luck...!Dies Wide Open: I'm the only example in the entire series?noteUntilMiu Irumaanyway.Really? How interesting.Disease Bleach: My illness made my hair white.Early-Bird Cameo: I'm briefly mentioned in a side story as the 77th class' Ultimate Lucky Student, but I'm not named at the time.Et Tu, Brute?: I was devastated when I found out me and my classmates were actually the Remnants of Despair.Everyone Has Standards: Even among Ultimates, there are some individuals who I find very unsavory. Like Teruteru and his habit of trying to trick people into giving him sexual favors. Or Yasuhiro, who'd rather have money than hope.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: I wish Ishimaru would realize that his \"hard work\" is just his talent. And that the talentless won't gain anything but hope from his attempts to change the world. Oh, but I really shouldn't bother a talented individual like him about this...Evil Counterpart: To Makoto Naegi, the person whom I look up to more than anyone else, our Ultimate Hope.Evil Laugh: TeeheeAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!Evil Mentor:Turns out my pep talk had the opposite effect on Little Miss Towa.The Friend Nobody Likes: Well, except Hajime at least.The Gadfly: I'll troll Hajime a few times just to see the reactions of everyone else, but it's not like I was suspicious of Hajime at the time or anything like that.Game-Breaking Injury: If I hadn't been shot by Izuru, it's likely I could've saved my class from falling into despair. After everything that's happened, I wonder what would've caused a greater hope. But then again, if someone like me could've done something like that then hope wouldn't be shining as much as it does now.Go Mad from the Revelation: I'll admit, finding out that we were all Remnants of Despair with our minds wiped took its toll on me pretty hard.Green-Eyed Monster: Oh, perish the thought. It's understandable that nobody wants scum like me around, and if they'd rather have a reserve course student like Hajime as a friend...well that just shows how worthlessIam, doesn't it?Hard Work Hardly Works: You either are born with your talent or you don't have any. There's no gray area as far as I'm concerned.Heroic Sacrifice: I fully intended to kickstart the murders so that the others might be saved.Hope Springs Eternal: No matter what despair one my face, it'll just make the hope at the end that much stronger.I Just Want to Have Friends: Be it by my beliefs or my talent, everyone leaves me eventually, andno one really likes me.Karma Houdini: Hey, come on. Are you that upset about the exam building exploding? Come to think of it... had it not because of the exam building exploding, upperclasswoman Seiko Kimura wouldn't be found by Kyosuke Munakata and be spared from the Tragedy and then she would be unable to participate in the Final Killing Game where she ends up developing a cure that would be administered to Kyoko Kirigiri... Aaah, how wonderful! In the end, my escape from karma had sprang out a fulfilled wonderful hope! Don't you agree?The Knights Who Say \"Squee!\": I wasso happyto be able to meet Makoto in person. Just thinking about what sort of bad luck that's going to bring me is...ohhhhhh...Know When to Fold Them: Oh, if only my bad luck hadn't dragged us all down. Someone as worthless as me, I warned them all about Izuru,but I just couldn't say no to Chiaki when she had us all band together in one united banner of hope.Laughing Mad: Mad? I was practically dying of laughter. I was so filled with hope over the fact that everyone was working together to combat the despair of our friend's death. I had also just been found out regarding my role in the murder. I couldn't have been happier.Light Is Not Good: What? What are you saying? Hope is always a good thing.Lonely Rich Kid: And like every other example, I'm not exactly happy about it.Lotus-Eater Machine: I got stuck in one after dying in the Neo World Program. How lucky for me, that Hajime thought trash like myself was worth saving from an illusion like that.Love Freak: Of Hope. I love hope. It's the most wonderful thing in the world, wouldn't you agree?Meaningful Rename: Pretty interesting how you can rearrange the characters in my name to spell out, in Japanese, I am Makoto Naegi.I'm not.Mr. Exposition: I serve as this towards Hajime, especially during the prologue segments.Mysterious Protector: Come on, those presents and Monokuma saleskids wouldn't have been there for Komaru to find if I hadn't planted them. Though I wasn't so mysterious after I told her I was doing it.Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Strangely, when I'm actually trying to be a villain, I do a better job at being a hero. I mean, Monaca didn't want to be Junko's successor because she saw what being a Remnant of Despair did tome.Oh, that gives me an idea actually...No Kill like Overkill: Heh, after what I did to my body, I'd have to have some form of guardian angel to have had any chance of surviving that.Obfuscating Stupidity: What are you talking about? There's no way trash like me could ever notice such an obvious, trial-solving clue!And I definitely haven't solved the whole case before each trial even starts.Only Friend: While I'm slowly warming up to everyone else, and visa versa, I consider this of Hajime, even after all that's happened.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When I'm telling my friends, the Ultimates, that Izuru Kamakura is bad news, in a somber tone no less, you know something's definitely wrong.Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: I don't care your reasoning as long as it will bring you hope. I even have a knife and a gun on me right now that you can borrow if you'd like. No? Too bad.Pocket Protector: My student handbook saved my life by stopping the bullet Izuru fired at me.The Pollyanna: So what if my parents are dead and the school I loved is no more? That's no reason to frown. Every day is filled with the possibility of a bright future and only if you have hope can you make it happen.Psycho Supporter: I'd do anything to help my friends succeed.Anything.Red Herring: To put it simply, I'm not Makoto. Even when you considerall thestepstaken to make it look so.The Rival: I like watching Hajime use his hope to eliminate the despair caused by the murders. Though sometimes, he needs a little push to fully unveil it. Challenging his argument is the best way to see the full might of his hope, and I'm the one who does that the best. What do you know...even trash like me has a purpose in the class trials.Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!: It's a shame really. I feel I really should've been expelled, or worse, for what I did, bombing the school like that. Luck isn't that great of a talent...is it?Self-Deprecation: (sigh) I don't think my talent's that great. I mean, what's so great about just having better than average luck?Shut Up, Kirk!: Even in the throes of despair, Mikan was able to do this to me by telling me no one would love me. I mean, she was right, but it still hurt to hear.Significant Anagram: We covered this, didn't we? Oh well, no harm in coming back to it I suppose. If you rearrange the letters in my name, you'll get Makoto Naegi with an extra \"da\" thrown in there. If you go by the Japanese characters alone, the anagram will spell out \"I am Makoto Naegi\".Sitcom Arch-Nemesis:In a world with no despair, Hajime and myself have this kind of relationship. I'm always questioning his intentions with the Ultimates, and he's always getting annoyed with me in turn.Slasher Smile: Huh? Is...that really what my smile looks like. Heh, who am I to talk? Of course someone like me would have a worthless smile like that.Stepford Smiler: Don't let my forced joy fool you, I really actually would be okay if I suddenly died.Suicide by Cop: I intended for Byakuya to somehow kill me when I had the hidden knife laying around the dining hall. That...didn't work.Taking You with Me: I wanted to take down the Remnants of Despair with me as a result of my death, but Hajime had me bringing down the traitor instead. At least their death spurred everyone to overcome their own despair.Tautological Templar: It's true though, hope is a wonderful thing.Thanatos Gambit: My death was supposed to draw out the traitor by making it impossible to figure out who died. I don't know how Hajime figured it out, but given the end result I'm impressed nonetheless.There Are Two Kinds of People in the World: Those who are born with worth, and everybody else.The Unfettered: There are two things I know I can believe in no matter what: my talent and Hope.Unluckily Lucky: My luck causes bad things to happen sometimes, but it always leaves more hope in the end.Took a Level in Kindness: I've considerably mellowed out since leaving Jabberwock Island. It makes me wonder if Hajime, given how talented he is with his abilities as Izuru Kamukura, did something to my brain to curb my frontotemporal dementia without my knowledge.Wild Card: I'm on the side of hope. And sometimes, one must do unexpected things in order to bring hope to the world.Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Lucky me, I'm the only one to ever think to pull a gun on Junko Enoshima. It's unfortunate that Izuru happened to be there. I had her completely at my mercy otherwise.Xanatos Gambit: No matter the result of the trial in the wake of my death, hope was going to win.You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Aww, you're kind for saying so. Miss Yukizome thought the same thing of me.Well, that's all I got. Did you remember anything? Huh? Really? You mean, you never attended Hope's Peak Academy and it's possible everything I've said just spoiled the entire franchise for you?Hahahahahahahahahahaha!Oh the despair we both must feel right now, to think that you don't actually have any talent. I pity you, truly I do. (sigh)You're just like all the rest.I must admit.You're not the first person that's come here under similar pretenses. Look at you all,aimlessly wasting your lives on the internet. Truly, I pity you. You can go ahead and leave now. Hmm? No, I wouldn't want to be friends with a talentless person like you, even if you did listen to everything I had to say. You probably hate me now anyways. Everybody does. If youareworried, don't be. I'll be fine...for the most part. Still...I think Hajime would give me a scolding if I didn't try to be nice in the end...again. Aw, what the heck? I'll give you something to be hopeful about. Just like I have everyone else. So,are you listening?Here goes. Just remember that, no matter what happens, you should always have hope because it's not until you give up that hope truly disappears. Now go, go and live out your non-talented life to the fullest to create a bright future for everyone around you filled with hope."} {"text": "Your honor, there is a serious contradiction with this site's testimony!Judge:The court is now in session for 'Description of Phoenix Wright'. The prosecution may call its first witness.Edgeworth:The prosecution calls the defendant, Phoenix Wright, to the stand. We request that you describe yourself to the court.Judge:Very well. Defendant, if you please.Wright:Yes, Your Honor!HOLD IT!I should warn you ahead of time before you start reading - my cases tend to involve many turnabouts and surprises, so if you haven't already made yourself aware of them, you may want to hold off checking out this page until then. In other words:there are unmarked spoilers on this page!Hello. I'mPhoenix Wright,Ace Attorney\u2014 also known as the so called 'Comeback King'. I am the owner of the \"Wright Anything Agency\", formerly known as \"Wright and Co. Law Offices\". A lot of people refer to me as a 'legendary defense attorney' who is able to turn any case around. Really though, I mainly just search for the truth and point out the contradictions in a witnesses testimony until I find out who the true guilty party is. It doesn't matter how much you try to hide or obscure the truth, in the end it willalwaysmake itself known regardless of what you do.In my earlier days, I worked under another \"legendary defense attorney\" by the name of Mia Fey. She was a great mentor and taught me mostly everything I know, though she was murdered shortly after my first case. I made sure the killer didn't get away with his act, and in the process I met with Mia's younger sister, Maya Fey.Maya went on to become my assistant, and in the process I learned about one of the defining traits of the Fey clan. The Feys are a family of spirit mediums, and a few of them possess the \"Kurain Channeling Technique\", a special power that allows them to channel spirits of the dead. Maya, being the heir to (and later master of) Kurain Village, has this ability and has used it many times to contact Mia whenever I was stuck with something.In the process of learning about the Feys, I also came into the possession of an amulet called the Magatama. It's a special stone that allows me to see if a person is lying by allowing me to see their mental barriers in the form of locks, known as \"Psyche-Locks\". This allows me to find ways of breaking through them by presenting evidence of what they did, and as long as I know what questions to ask, it in essence makes it impossible for me to take the case of a guilty party. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't quite work that well in court itself.In my time as a defense attorney, I have only ever lost three cases: one where the killer was an assassin hired by my client, one civil trial where I was blackmailed into supporting the plaintiff, and one that resulted in my temporary disbarment. I won't go into the details as I would rather not remember that time, but during my disbarment I took up the hobby of playing poker (not for money, mind you, as that is illegal here), and piano. In that time, I also adopted a daughter, Trucy Wright. Of course, that wasn'tallI was doing in that time.In those seven long years, I had a lot of time to think. Mostly about how the legal system worked and the one who caused me to be disbarred from law. In that time, I spent a good portion of it trying to revamp the court system so it wasn't as biased against the defendants and protecting those who were truly guilty. Though it was a long and hard process, I eventually managed to reform the court, and in the process restored my reputation with the help of another young defense attorney, Apollo Justice.As said above, I am the current owner of the Wright Anything Agency. (At least for legal purposes, as Trucy was still a minor when I regained my badge.) I have two prot\u00e9g\u00e9s: the aforementioned Apollo Justice (who has the ability to \"Perceive\" a person's nervous ticks, making it impossible to hide things from him) and Athena Cykes (a psychiatrist who, thanks to her special sense of hearing, can use a special computer known as the \"Mood Matrix\" that allows her to see a person's true feelings and makes it incredibly hard to slip lies past her). Though I mostly leave cases to them these days, if something comes up that makes them unable to defend or if they're having too much trouble, I'm more than willing to step back in to the ring.Apollo left the agency recently, to return to where he was raised, so for the time being Athena's taking on more cases than she normally would. Maya also came back for a while, but she'll have to eventually return to Kurain Village.Feel free to stop by our work space if you have a case that needs defending. It doesn't matter how bleak it may seem: so long as those who needs defending are truly innocent, we promise that we will find the truth!TAKE THAT!!Your honor, I present the following tropes to describe myself:Accuse the Witness: When I take a case to court, chances are I'll be doing this at some point; that said, I've also accused the case's prosecutor more than once. In one particular case, I even accused my own defense attorney, that one's a long story. Most of these witnesses are either guilty or hiding something.Amateur Sleuth: Despite being a defense attorney, I usually end up having to find a lot of a case's evidence myself. And end up finding the actual murderer more often than not.Always Murder: It seems that no matter what case I take, it will always involve at least one dead body. In fact, I think I only ever tookonenon-murder case, in England.Amoral Attorney:HOLD IT!Though my detractors certainly think this to be the case (especially after what I went through with Matt Engarde), I'm essentially the antithesis of this trope.Anime Hair: Come on, it's notthatspiky... is it?Awesomeness by Analysis: Comes with being a defense attorney. I often have to wrangle out the truth by using obscure evidence to point out the contradiction in a witness's testimony. Many times the situations turn from bleak to near impossible.Born Lucky: People tell me I'm this. Personally,I don't see it...but I guess getting away from being almost run over by a car with only a sprained ankle and only catching a cold from taking a dive into a raging waterfallmight lead some people into thinking that.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: People say that I tend to come up with the craziest bluffs in court. I'll admit, a lot of this stuff sounds crazy to me at first, but that usually doesn't stop it from some how being true.Butt-Monkey: Especially in my earlier days. Thankfully, after seven long years and clearing my name, several people now tend to view me as a legendary defense attorney who can turn any case around. (Though, that's not to say I don't still have my moments...)Catchphrase:OBJECTION!Many defense attorneys and prosecutors use that word due to their jobs! ... Though, that still didn't stop people from mainly associating it with myself.The Chessmaster:HOLD IT!Though I like to think I'm rather smart, in my defense, I had seven long years to prepare for what I had planned when I met Apollo.Crusading Lawyer: I believe that as a lawyer, it is my duty to pursue the truth, and make sure no innocent party is convicted.Deadpan Snarker:Though, I mostly try to keep it to myself.As a friend of mine once said, thank God for internal monologue.Defeating the Undefeatable: Some of my (apparently) crowning achievements include delivering Manfred von Karma his first loss in forty years. I managed to do the same with his daughter, Franziska, though her streak was a lot shorter. (Around five years, though somehow she started prosecuting atthirteenand was considered a child prodigy.)Determinator: I never give up on a case no matter how bleak things get. No matter how hard you try to hide it, in the end, the truth willalwayscome to light.Doting Parent: To my daughter Trucy.First-Person Smartass: ... H-huh!? Wha- no!I wasn't thinking anything bad about you, honest!Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: Comes with being an attorney.Go-Karting with Bowser: Believe it or not, I stayed on friendly terms with the man who masterminded my disbarment. I still got back at him eventually though.Guile Hero: Again, comes with being a lawyer.Hello, Attorney!: I-I'm notthatattractive, am I? Heh heh...Indy Ploy: I don't get much time to prepare in between trials, so a lot of my strategy mainly boils down to \"speak first, think later\". Believe it or not, it's more effective than you'd think.Kleptomaniac Hero:OBJECTION!!As a defense attorney, I'm allowed to borrow things so long as I can prove it's important evidence to the case, and most of the time I use my phone to take pictures of evidence instead of actually taking it.Living Lie Detector: As said above, the Magatama allows me to see peoples mental locks whenever they're trying to hide something. So long as I word my questions properly, it's almost impossible to lie to me.Love Martyr: In my college days, I fell head over heels in love with whom I believed to be a sweet girl named Dahlia Hawthorne. There was a time when I would have done everything for her, and she knew it. Turns out I was a bit too caught up in the moment - the real Dahlia was a monster, plain and simple.Made of Iron: I've fallen several feet into a river before, and been hit by a speeding car and sent flying several feet into the air and into a lamp post... And only got a slight cold and a sprained ankle from it, respectively. EvenI'msurprised at how resilient I can be.Meaningful Name: I seem to have a penchant for turning completely hopeless cases into acquittals, and I'm named after a bird known for rising from the ashes. Coincidence?The Mentor: I'm currently this to Apollo and Athena, giving them advice and taking over their cases when they need it... and though sometimes I'm as clueless as they are, please don't tell them that part.Nice Guy: I always believe in my clients no matter how much the odds are stacked against them, especially if no one else is willing to defend them. Let's just say I know what it feels like when no one else is willing to believe you.No Indoor Voice:OBJE-... err, Objection. I only tend to yell in court because it helps get the point I'm trying to make across, and it's not like I'm alone in doing this.Older and Wiser: I try to put up this image for Apollo and Athena. Though, mostly I'm just bluffing and spotting contradictions as I normally do.Only Sane Man: You'd think this too, if you've seenhalfthe people I've had to work with over the years.Power Creep, Power Seep:So this one time, I was one of the forces summoned to deal with a planet-eating entity calledGalactus. You'd think that a simple attorney who's never been in any sort of fight would be ill-equipped to deal with something like that, but my wits and court knowledge were not only enough to keep me alive, I ended up being one of the strongest guys there! Huh.There was alsothat other timethat started off as a regular, run-off-the-mill court case with me being hired to defend a certainMr. Majima, but it didn't take long for me and Maya to be dragged off into a crazy adventure involving multiverses and time travel, although this time we did get a power boost from acertain succubuswho was thankfully a lot friendlier (or maybe \"less friendly\" would be the accurate term?) than I've heard of her kind being, which allowed us to assist our friends in battle. At least this time I got to actually make some deductions and I was on the verge of getting to participate in a civil case regarding a stolen object in the fanciest and by far the most out-of-place courthouse I recall ever seeing, and even Edgeworth got to (or in his case, was forcibly drafted to) participate...only for the main culprit to bust through a wall and inadvertently admit their guilt and reveal their associates before me or Edgeworth even got to give our opening statements. On one hand, I could've used some sense of normalcy in the middle of this crazy adventure of ours, but seeing who the opposition was, I'm fully convinced that a fight would've broken out regardless of the end result of the case.Perma-Stubble: Again during my time away from the courts. I guess that and the baggy clothing I wore at the timedidmake me look like a hobo.The Perry Mason Method: Sometimes, the best way to get your point across in court is to have the guilty party admit it themselves. (If only if my own clients stopped trying to admit to things they didn't do...)Punny Name: I always seem to return from the brink of defeat, just like my namesake's ability to defy death. (That's not pretentious, is it?)Revenge by Proxy: I seem to attract this for whatever reason. I've gone up against several prosecutors who wanted my client declared guilty simply to get back at me.She Is Not My Girlfriend: Maya and I are only friends... Seriously! Stop giving me that face!Team Dad: I tend to be viewed this way to my assistants and staff. Though it makes sense in Trucy's case.To Be Lawful or Good: There are times where trying to expose the truth and bringing justice conflicts with my career of upholding the law. Most of the time, bringing justice is more important than upholding the law.Took a Level in Jerkass: The experiences of my disbarment unfortunately caused this in me. Thankfully, the restoration of my reputation helped me get over this.Unconventional Courtroom Tactics: You'd be surprised the number of things I've had to do to extend a trial or find the truth. There's areasonI spent a lot of years trying to revamp the court system, and even then...Unluckily Lucky: From the way my cases hit rock bottom before I turn it around, to all the life-threatening situations I seem to get into yet survive, my relationship with Lady Luck is... complicated. Let's just say that sometimes, the miraclesdohappen.Waistcoat of Style: What? I had to change things up for a new generation of prosecutors and defense attorneys. And, let's face it, I lookgood.Me:OBJECTION!Your Honor, what do you think of this tropes page?Judge: ...Er, what about it?Me: Well, i-if you look in THIS area over here, you can clearly see what I mean.Judge: *shakes head* I have no earthly idea what you're talking about, Mr. Wright. Objection overruled. (penalty)Me:(I don't think that won me any points with the judge)Edgeworth:HOLD IT!Your Honor, the trial is about giving Wright a description, and that is the purpose of this page. There have been people have put in a lot of hard work into contributing to it.Judge: I see, why areyouthe one bringing this up, Edgeworth?Edgeworth:This isn't a murder trial, we're simply looking over the quality of Wright and the tropers' handiwork. It doesn't matter which of us wins or loses here."} {"text": "What were they thinking?So, it's time to talk about... myself. On this godforsaken website called TV Tropes. More like TV Turd!

I'm hungry, I'm horny, I'm angry and I ain't askin'.Even Evil Has Standards: You'd think fucking your own daughter wouldn't be weird after, but it's days like this that the high wears off.Evil Is Petty: Sometimes I'll break into people's houses just to clog their toilets.Green and Mean: Green and whatever the hell the color of dried blood and semen is supposed to be are the new black.Hell-Bent for Leather: Wearing suits like mine is just asking for lots of painful pinching and exposed man-bulges. It takes a lot of lube to squeeze into this and that's how I like it.Laughably Evil: Just saying \"rape\" and \"car-accidents\" gives me the giggles.Not-So-Harmless Villain: I don't regret much, but I thought starting theCOVID-19 Pandemicwould be funny.Villainous Incest: You haven't lived life at its fullest until you've fucked your family."} {"text": "(When reading this, imagine Chad James is speaking this.)Um is this on, oh ok.Name's Boomstick. You may know me as one of the co-hosts from a certain awesome internet show calledDEATH BATTLE!, so i'll just get to the point.Death Battle was made in 2010 by Ben Singer where me and my co-host Wiz put all sorts of characters from all over the place against each other infights to the death.I usually do the research on weapons while Wiz does the rest.On March 16th, 2016 at the end ofDante VS BayonettaI revealed that I would be hosting my own spin-off show called DBX where I don't bother with research and just make them fight, but on July 14th, 2019 I gave the job of host to my best buddy Marshall (or as he goes by Ringmaster) but I still have my work on Death Battle to do.Oh hey! I seeDUMMIhas his own page here. I'm going to blow him up right now!noteDUMMI: Oh boy. Here we go again.I look forward to it.These Tropes pretty much sum me up.Abusive Parents: My dad was pretty much this for me when he was around; the only gift he really gave me was a sore cheek. Momma Boomstick was a much better parent, even if her training went into some really weird places sometimes.Me: When I was a kid Mama Boomstick trained me and some friends to eat sixty hot dogs in ten minutes!I was the only one who survived...Acrofatic: Don't let my weight and shotgun leg fool ya, I'm really good at running. A lot better thanMob, that's for sure.A God Am I: Hey if I could lie as well asMr Satan, I'd make people think I was king of the world too, or even God.And, as ofFlash VS Sonic, Iama god- aSpeed God, thanks to Wiz putting latent cosmic kinetic energy in my beer! I ran to Jupiter and back!Too bad I don't use that power for much other thandelivering aBond One-Liner.Agony of the Feet: Yeah inAquaman VS NamorWiz inflicts this on me just for quotingBane. What a jerk! I've only gotonefoot in the first place!Me: (talking behind a can of beer)You think the point is your ally, you merely adopted the point, I was born in it, molded by it.(gets stabbed in the foot by Wiz)Wiz: How about that point?Me:(Delayed ReactionthenScreams Like a Little Girl)This continues on in Season 6 with me threatening Wiz not to stab me again inGanondorf VS Dracula, and I finally get to pay him back for it inGuy'spreview by breaking his leg.The Alcoholic: Hey I'm not dependent on booze, booze is dependent on me! But yeah, I do drink a lot of beer and some things me and Wiz talk about, I wonder how useful they would be to get beers with ease. I even usethe Gravity Gunto get beers from the couch!Also, inCaptain Marvel VS Shazam, I spilled a perfectly good beer trying to prove I could control gravity like Ms. Danvers.I'M A MONSTER!!!Then Ipoured one out for it... only to findI was wasting more beer.All Men Are Perverts: If there's a hot woman as one or both combatants on the show, you can count on me to point this out! The only exceptions include; my ex-wife, Rebecca Black, PrincessesZeldaandPeach,Taokaka,Toph,Yang(I was more busy admiring her weapons instead),Agent Carolina,Renamon,Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle,Lucy,Weiss,Mitsuru(Me and Wiz were more interested in her fur coat),Akane,TatsumakiandBlack Canary.Alternate Self: I have one of these called Broomstick, he looks like me but has Wiz's clothes and talks like him too. Also, he's British.Amazon Chaser: I spent most of Yang's analysis gushing over her Ember Celica and whenTifalost I talk about losing a potential wife, I calledErzaDamn near perfectand decided thatLara Croftwill be my next ex-wife.Arch-Enemy: Let's just say I really enjoyed howJustin Bieber VS Rebecca Blackended, but seriously, I hate pop stars more than my ex-wife, and that's saying a lot.Artificial Limbs: My right leg below the knee is a shotgun which I can use pretty well. Still can't do ballet with it, though.Audience Surrogate: I pretty much am one for theMarvel Cinematic Universe. If a character's portrayal in the MCU is very different from the comics like Ultron's creation and Thanos' Infinity Stones, I will definitely bring up the movies before Wiz talks about the comic's version.Awesome, but Impractical: I patented the baby cannon, both me and Wiz think it's awesome but Wiz shot it down because of it'sreloadtime.Bad Boss: I don't bother to pay Jocelyn the Intern for her work, the money usually goes to booze and ammo, and when we finally are on camera, I was the one to offer the idea of blaming it on her.Big \"NO!\": I said this when bothCharizard and Vaderlose their fights..Bond One-Liner: I usually cap off episodes with one after the fight. You can view them allhere.Blood Knight: There is nothing I love more than over the top murder and violence.Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: In the Tatsumaki preview episode, I said I have to go home to shoot the guy bringing my daughter home from a date. When Wiz questions what I'll do if the guy is on time, I replied that I'm still shooting the guy on principle.Bruiser With A Soft Centre: Believe it or not, I do have a soft spot for cute critters like kittens,Kirby, and tanukis (other than Shukaku, that is).Butt-Monkey: I usually get more crap than Wiz does in episodes.The Cameo: I made one in the season 4 finale of DBX,Batman VS Iron Manwhere I was bidding to have Piccolo as a dad.Camera Obscurer: The main reason you've never seen my face and Wiz's face untilMario VS Sonic (2018)was due to me leaving the lens-cap on the camera, but we decided to blame Jocelyn for it instead.Catchphrase:\"IT'S TIME FOR ADEATH BATTLE!\"Cloudcuckoolander: I usually go on tangents during the post battle analysis and think a baby launcher would be a good invention.Cluster F-Bomb: My reaction toGaara's defeat at Toph's handshad a lot more profanity than usual.Me:Ohh\u2014-! (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) god-damn (bleep) son of a (bleep) (bleep) weasel! Why did another anime character have to lose?!Cool Bike: I once owned a motorcycle, and tried to set it on fire like Ghost Rider's Hell Cycle. When Wiz shows his surprise that I owned a bike, I make it clear thatthe bike didn't survive that experiment.Cuteness Proximity: I go aww at the kittens, the tanuki and the Waddle Dees.Deadpan Snarker: I usually save the \"deadpan\" for whoever lost the battle. Otherwise, I tend to be more over-the-top than Wiz is.Deal with the Devil: I have made a couple of comments that suggest I've done this in the past. I wonder what kind of dealNathanmade with Satan to survive such big falls, adding that I know that kind of thing comes with a terrible price, And when we talked about howMitsuru'sgrandfather about how he experimented with Shadows (which I described as basically demons), saying it as a bad idea since summoning demons is always a bad idea. It never works out. And when it does... it doesn't/Deep South: Yep, I'm a redneck. In case you can't tell by the accent and love of guns.Disappeared Dad: My dad eventually left me and Mama Boomstick for no good reason. I'm not exactly happy about this.SCREW YOU, DAD! YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND!If he really left to join the army, maybe daddy'sSarge, even if he lives hundreds of years in the future?Ditzy Genius: I am actually more clever than I sounds at times, and can keep up with Wiz.Drunk Driver: According to Wiz, I once drove a dune buggy drunk. It ended up in a lake.Dumbass Has a Point: I occasionally say something clever in the middle of my ramblings.Eagleland: I'm loud, boisterous, and a lover of guns and beer.Andno, I'm not wanted in all 50 statesfor crushing cars and killing people.Eccentric Millionaire: I've claimed that if I ever got rich, I would blow all my money on Bigfoot traps.Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: I get very protective of my mom when Wiz andDeadpoolmake cracks about her.Everyone Has Standards:I may be a raging alcoholic, but I draw the line at driving under the influence, though I may have indulged in DUI in the past.I'm definitely perverted, but I give credit to female combatants when they prove themselves to be capable in a fight, and chastise my grandfather for thinking that women can't be asskickers. I also berateRollfor \"sending feminism back to the '60s\".I actually have no problem when I find outLucymurdered a bunch a kids becausethey murdered her adorable puppy and forced her to watch.In that same episode, I have an issue with dog harming in general.In \"Dr. Doom vs. Darth Vader\", I am pissed that Dr. Doom awarded himself a doctorate after taking over Latveria, claiming it an insult to everyone who actually had to work for one. Later, in \"Dr. Fate vs. Dr. Strange\", I'm equally leary about Fate's title, until Wiz assures me that yes, he actuallydidearn a legitamite doctorate.For a guy with such a clear love of violence I'm quite somber when talking about the destruction of the nuclear bombs and the beginning of the nuclear age inGodzilla vs Gamera.I signed the Death Race contract in strawberry jam,notblood.I'm not an animal! (Beat) Wait, did Wiz use blood?!Extreme Omnivore: I really want to eat a Pok\u00e9mon. What?! They look delicious!Fat Bastard:Careful who you're calling fat, buddy.But yeah, I'm a large guy, and I tested explosive weaponry on the Death Battle interns.Fighting Spirit: My Stand, 99 Bottles, turns anything it touches into beer! And you thoughtStar Platinumwas cool!Fusion Dance: After seeingGogeta and Vegitoduke it out, I happily wished to fuse with Wiz! The dragon granted my wish! Too bad you guys don\u2019t get to see the resulting fusion.Girl on Girl Is Hot: I certainly have no objections tohow Rogue ended the fight between her and Wonder Woman.Gun Nut: I enjoy guns that cantrash talkfor me, prioritizeAbnormal Ammoto normal ammo, and if it causes more destruction, fun for me. Some of my favorites areShotgun 1340,The Boneduster Shotgun,The R.Y.N.O (namely the Mark 5 variant), and theNano Rifle. My usual contribution to the analysis of any fighter from a setting with firearms is to observe the firearms involved and provide their stats.Handicapped Badass: Don't think I can't fight just because I've got one leg.Hangover Sensitivity: I may have been nursing a hangover duringUltron vs. Sigma, given my reaction toDr. Wily's flying pod.Heroes Love Dogs: I'm no hero, but I have a pet dog named Jack Spaniels that I love. I develop a dislike for Carnage when I found out he tortured and killed a dog, and cheered Lucy on for killing several kids when I learn that they beat her puppy to death in front of herand approved of her apparent hatred of dog killers after she defeated Carnage.Hidden Depths: I'm smarter than you think.His Name Really Is \"Barkeep\": Boomstick really is my name.Hot-Blooded: In contrast to Wiz, I'm as bombastic as they come.I Call Him \"Mister Happy\": I decided to name my penis \"Righteous Indignation\", after Bucky O' Hare's ship.In Love with Your Carnage:I really enjoyed it when I hear that theBFG-9000isn'tDoomguy's most powerful weapon.I also wasn't swayed away from having the hots forEsdeathafter watching her kick a naked guy in the face. Too bad she's only got eyes for that dumb Tatsumi brat.Inelegant Blubbering: I hate to admit this, but I did this when I mentioned the death of Optimus Prime inThe Transformers: The Movie, followed by going to hug my truck.Kamehame Hadoken: I'm a fan of bothTrope Namers, calling out the \"Hadoken!\" in time with Ryu (and encouraging the viewer to do the same) when the move is mentioned inRyu vs. Jin, and performed a Kamehameha (on Wiz, with the help of a shaken beer) inRoshi vs. Jiriya.Kick the Dog: Wiz drives me insane withThatMan, I decide to take it out on Wiz's pet robotic dog. It only happens in the preview. In the actual episode, I look up That Man on the internet and calm down.Kindhearted Cat Lover:While the \"kindhearted\" part is debatable, I absolutely love kittens.Me: Shut up! Kittens are adorable!On the other hand, I own a \"laser-guided kitten cannon\" and declare cats inferior to dogs (other than the Tigerzord obviously).Know When to Fold Them: In the preview for the Black Panther, I get the idea to invade Wakanda. I change my mind after being shown a comic panel filled with the bodies of various Skrull warriors who tried to do just that.Large Ham: I'm louder, more passionate and generally a bigger presence than Wiz. Just listen to the way I say GHOOOOSTSS!!Laxative Prank: I pulled this on my fourth grade math teacher and gave her the shits. I asked if Ghost Rider's Penance Stare would give my soul the shits too for it.Libation for the Dead: I did this in both of the Captain Marvel fights:In the one against Android 18, I crack open a cold one for Carol's predecesor:Me:Here's to you, Mar-Vel.In the one against Shazam, after I drop a perfectly good beer,I poured one out for it.Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places: My mom went through 13 ex-husbands. I wasn't even five before she settled on hubby number 14.Momma's Boy: Unlike my asshole birth father and (many) stepfathers, whenever Mamma Boomstick comes up, I only have good things to say about her, even her cooking. I fondly remember her teaching me a martial art, too.Mundane Utility: I usually make a comment about how a fighter's equipment can be used to be lazy. Highlights include using theSword of Omen'sTractor Beamto summon snacks, orAquaman's trident to go to Disney World.My God, What Have I Done?:In the preview for Venom, I immediately regretshredding Wiz's clothes by yelling loudly. Mostly because Ican't unseeNaked Wiz.Me:OH MY GOD WHY DID I DO THAT?I CAN NEVER UNSEE!AUUGH!WHERE'S THE BLEACH?! I NEED IT FOR MY EYES!I give two in \"Captain Marvel vs. Shazam\"; first when I drops a perfectly good beer after making a crack about 'controlling gravity' like Marvel, and shortly afterwards after Ipour one outto said beer.InDeadpool vs. the Mask, I'm the one who cuts Wiz off in the middle of the post-fight analysis topoint out that despite our usual impartial position in deciding the victor, we sent Wade to be killed by pitting him against an opponent wealready knewoutclassed him in every way.Naked First Impression: I forgot my pants when me and Wiz first met.Naked People Are Funny: In Gray's preview I assumed that his ice powers come fromstrippingso I decided to take off my pants, much to Wiz's horror and disgust.In the actual episode, I tear off my shirt instead, bring out a stripper pole, and order Wiz to oil me up. Then the jerk has to tell me Gray doesn't get his powers from stripping. Why couldn't he have warned me before I took off my favorite shirt?No More for Me: WhenNomad of Nowherebrings a can of beer to life in \"Thanos vs. Darkseid\", I decided that I drank too much.Noodle Incident: At the end ofHulk'ssecond preview for his fight withBroly, I revealed that I drank a bunch of Speed-Force sodas, I'm not gonna go into too much detail but by the end of it I became officially classified as a natural disaster, meaning Wiz is now legally responsible for anything I do, I milked this bycommitting some petty crimes because Wiz was too happy lately.Obsessed with Food: Beside mylove for booze,I mention food a lot, like how I'mstill mad at Wiz about not not letting me get a churro.Once Done, Never Forgotten: Yeah, a whole season later, I'm still not letting Wiz forget he stuck a trident in my foot.One-Note Cook: Before I discovered Blue Apron, I couldn't cook anything besides roast chicken.Only the Chosen May Wield: I don't know who chose me or why, butI can lift Mjolnir!Out-of-Character Moment:I realize that I did one in He-Man vs Lion-O:Aww, we missed the cute kitty stage! (Beat) SHUT UP, kittens are adorable!In Yang vs Tifa, not once do I make an perverted comment on either character. Wiz clearly expects me to but I was actually talking about something else.noteThen I make a quick comment about Tifa's breasts at the end of her section.In Zoro vs Erza, I never make any real perverted comments towardsErzaand instead call her \"damn near perfect\", with only a quip about how the Seduction Armor would be useful by making it hard for a man to fight \"with an erection\".Pet the Dog: Considering how usuallycruelme and Wiz are when talking about anything tragic that happens to our combatants, when Wiz casually mentionsAerith's death, Ipolitelytell him not to bring it up while shedding a tear.Pungeon Master: I usually say least one pun in every episode with the Toph vs Garra match going to town, usually at the very end.Doesn't mean I'll like what I say though.A Rare Sentence: In \"Thanos vs. Darkseid\", whenNomad of Nowheredrops in and brings a can of beer to life, I am so weirded out that I tell Wiz that I think I've drunk too much.Real Men Wear Pink: I own a pink car (with flame decals)which Riptor slams into, wrecking it.Me:No, my car!I've also got a pink machine gun. It used to be white, but Iwashed it with my red hat.Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'm pretty much the red to Wiz's blue, being louder and much more excitable.Like Wiz, I'm color-coded with red armor with white trims inMeta VS Carolina.Shell-Shocked Veteran: Mama Boomstick trained me and my friends to eat 60 hotdogs in 10 minutes. I was the only one who survived.Southern-Fried Genius: Believe it or not, I actually have a college degree in poultry science, specialising in frying.Super Strength: I'm stronger than your average Texan.Me: (on Lion-O's Claw Shield) \u2026with which, in his first outing, he effortlessly punched down a tree. Hey, that's just like how I catch squirrels for supper!Throw the Dog a Bone: Whenever I obviously favor one character over their opponent, that character would always end up losing. I was understandably enthusiastic whenGuts vs Nightmarefinally had one of my favorite characters win, with me talking over Wiz during the post-match analysis so I could gush some more about the winner.Trademark Favorite Food: Squirrels. My favorite breakfast food is \"Nana's Southern Fried Squirrel.\" I also mentioned that Lion-O punching down trees is like how I catch squirrels for supper, In Thanos VS Darkseid I reveal that my mom's ghost pepper pie can have its taste weakened by using squirrel paste and Mega Man Battle Royale shows me eating a burger with a squirrel's tail sticking out.Training from Hell: Mama Boomstick put me through this...for hotdog eating. Notably averted for the traditional use, as I have fond memories of combat training with no dislike of it.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Pretty much what Death Battle is and it's mine and Wiz's jobs to host it.Understatement: My only response toShao Khanabsorbing M. Bison's soulis \"That can't be good\".Vocal Evolution: By the third or fourth episode, my voice started getting louder and took on a more pronounced Southern accent.The Watson: I'm usually to be the one to ask the questions about Wiz's scientific facts so that they can be more easily explained by you guys. I try to contradict Wiz's research and claims with questions normal people would ask about the combatants.What Does This Button Do?: When Wiz brings out a \"Multiverse Manipulator\" inMiles Morales vs. Static, I don't even let him finish a sentence before I yell \"BUTTON!\" and press it.What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: I don't like characters who rely onThe Power of Friendship, cause I see that kind of thing as too sweet for a guy like me. I prefer characters who areThe Social DarwinistlikeEsdeath.Who's on First?: While going overSol Badguy, Wiz brings upThat Man.Hilarity Ensueswhen I ask which one.You Remind Me of X:Gorokinda reminds me of the guy my ex-wife left me for at the wedding reception. Yes, because he's buff, but mainly the four arms."} {"text": "Show me ya moves!(This page is best read in the voice ofRy\u014d Horikawawith ahumorously exaggeratedAmerican accent.

They almost make me the flag-ship character for the console, but the plans don't pan out. But then, there are two sequels! There is theF-Zero Xfor Nintendo 64, which introduces very many new racers which includeBlack Shadow, the arch- enemy ofCaptain Falcone! I return in theF-Zero GX, which has a story!

He wants to defeat me and becomeCaptain Falcone, but he is not, so I go prove it with the good old-fashioned fisticuffs! There is alsoa clone of a different kind, who is the Demon King Ganondorf ofHyrule! He uses my moves for evil, butbutchers them by doing it agonizingly slowinstead of my stylish super-speed!

Except that it looks like the perfect sort of game forCaptain Falconeto be in, as to be aHot-Bloodedmanlyanime game with other manly men as theRyunotejust as in the SmaBroand also theSegata Sanshiro, so maybe I need the chance too! TOOOOOOWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!And don't forget to buy the officialamiibotoy figure ofCaptain Falcone! An action figure is most fitting for a hero of justice, but I only get it after so many years.

But it is also the good reason why you all worshipCaptain Falconeas the mightiest man in the universe! YESZ!Gratuitous English: In the Smash Brothers, I talk in English with my own pronouncings and phrasings, which is better and manlier than the other people!The man who does the voice of meis Japanese and can talk English fluent, butCaptain Falconetranscends normal and boring ways of talking!Heroic Sacrifice: In the animation, I kill Black Shadow with theFALCONE\u2026PAWNCH!!!so hard that it destroys one-eighth of the entire galaxy!

It is so much that I quickly dash home after winning the award of the Grand Prix, even though I am also a most famous figure and make many TV appearances, and only the Grand Prix itself or the high bounty gets me to come out.Large Ham: To show how manly and cool he is,Captain Falconemust be very loud and noticed !Legacy Character: In the animation.

It is also a favorite outfit of my fans because it is funny to wear, and they use the nick-name \"Captain Fabulous\"!Shock and Awe:Captain Falconeis mostly a man of fire, but the \"Knee Smash\" move is a glorious attack of justice where Ismash my kneeinto the foe, and it is a glorious electric explosion to finish them off!

Sometimes we go on adventures across the wankiverse fighting evil and protecting the innocent and cute. Sometimes, I even come along with them, though not often. Most of the time, I stay at the invisible hideout with the Bravest Warriors' other pets.Sometimes, I makes jumps, where I get surrounded in electricity and go to another dimension. Usually it's the see-through zone. Danny says I'm extra-mansional, whatever that means. But I guess because of that the jumps happen. I don't really control where they go, though.Here's some trope thingies about me:Cat Smile: I can do that because I'm Catbug!Catchphrase: I'm Catbug!Dimensional Traveler: I jump to other dimensions sometimes, usually to the See-Through Zone. I can't really control when that happens.Mix-and-Match Critter: I'm part cat, and part bug. I'm Catbug!Monochromatic Eyes: I don't know what mama-cro-magnon means, but my eyes are all white!The Noseless: I don't have a nose? (touches the spot on his face where his nose should be) I guess not.Ridiculously Cute Critter: Hee hee hee, thank you!"} {"text": "Who's this douchebag?> Be Doc ScratchYou try to be Doc Scratch fromHomestuck, but fail to be Doc Scratch. It seems no one can be Doc Scratch, except for Doc Scratch.In fact, you might as well let me take over from here. I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I type with my signature white text.It's not like you have a choice in the matter, I was only being polite. Paradox Space already predestined this conversation, as it will every waking moment in your amusingly short life.Let's see, now, where to begin?That was a joke, you see. Anomnipotent,omniscient, andcharming individualsuch as myself always knows where to begin.Ha ha. Hee hee.I was born, like other First Guardians, within acertain Alternian session of Sburb, agamein which players must work together to defeat the forces of darkness, and achieve the ultimate reward. I was created by using several special genetic codes, codes that grant me access to the powers ofThe Green Sun. I am also made from the ghost slime of my handsome ectobiolgical father and a magical cue ball. I am not a gambling man, but I suppose some of us are just born lucky.I first appeared in the comic in a conversation with one of my many pupils. No, not the kind that humans and trolls have on their faces, I would need to haveeyes for that.And a face, quite frankly. Ah, she was willful, that one, always trying to stay a step ahead of me,seeking the blind spots in my knowledge,believing she could outsmart me. Of course, that is what I allowed her to believe, anyway. The stubborn ones are always the easiest to manipulate, especially if they believethey are doing the manipulating.These people are the ones I usually refer to as suckers. Plus, I've always had a soft spot for young ladies.And no, that isn't creepy. I am an immortal entity with alarge cueball for a head, and no biological means of reproduction. When you get to be my age,everyone seems young by comparison.It should be noted that while First Guardians are usually created to watch over their respective planets, that is not my only purpose for being. You see, I am under the employ of my master, an invincible, time-traveling demon known as Lord English. He has only one goal, and that is to enter this universe, and then consume it. His disciples and I have gone to great lengths to precipitate his arrival. Upon the event known as my death, he will enter the universe and wreak havoc across paradox space like none have ever seen before. Although, as I have said before to another of my pupils, trying to stop any of our plans is futile. My master's entry into this universe is a known quantity. His very existence in a universe guarantees its inevitable destruction. His destructive destiny is sanctioned by paradox space, a neat and orderly path that will lead to his arrival. Any attempt to change this course of actionis impossible.He will come.In fact, he is already here.Now, I will proceed to give you analysis on my own character. After all, an excellent host must always be open to a new guest.Abusive Precursor:Trolls were a peaceful race free from perpetual war, psychic genocide and ethnic cleansing. Then, they met me.Angrish:I slip into this from time to time when something really agitates me.Berserk Button:I do not ask much from my guests, but I will never, ever, permit one to desecrate one of my ornate timepieces.Big Bad:Act 5 ofHomestuckmarks my sole incursion into the narrative. With a handful of conversations, I proved a larger threat than all preceding.The Blank:As the Felt's \"cueball\", I am devoid of any facial features whatsoever.Brutal Honesty:The truth hurts, especially if I'm the one revealing it.The Chessmaster:I proudly take that title since I personify it to a T.Complete Immortality:Subverted, thanks to the Seer's plan regarding the Green Sun. Or rather, my plan.Complete Monster:Such a rude and subjective term.The Corrupter:I orchestrated these sessions to fail so I can make new ones with ideal players. Of course, they always fail as well.Cryptic Conversation:My conversations tend to go like this.Deadpan Snarker:Not always.Death Seeker:My master cannot enter his target universe until I am killed. Such is the nature of the break.Do Not Taunt Cthulhu:If you're wise enough, you shouldn't attempt to cross me...ever.The Dragon:I am considered this due to my status as Lord English's officer.The Easy Way or the Hard Way:I would always give this option to my guests. But it's rather pointless considering that it always winds up being the hard way anyway.Evil Mentor:I am not a good man, and frequently, my apprentices follow my footsteps eagerly.Evil Uncle:I would prefer Ms. Lalonde think of me as one of her kindly human uncle figures.Faux Affably Evil:I may be a gentleman but that doesn't mean I'm not a villain.Foreshadowing:I was, and always will be, a magnificent host. Haha. Hehe. Hoho..Fourth-Wall Observer:I regularly have guests from beyond the fourth wall. However, I cannot tolerate any correspondence from across thefifthwall.Friendly Enemy:I am always a gentleman, even to my most heinous adversaries.Fusion Dance:Unlike less charismatic Guardians, my body was created by combining seven different genetic codes instead of a mere two.Gambit Roulette:Averted. I have never been a gambling man. I make decisions based off omniscience, and on the rare occasions it fails, my infallible intellect.Giggling Villain:Ha ha. Hee hee. Hoo hoo.A God I Am Not:I have power and knowledge far surpassing a god. But I am not one.Kansas City Shuffle:Nobody seems to trust me, but they fall into my traps anyways. It's amusing, really.Karma Houdini:Everything will go as I see fit, as it already has.Living Weapon:I am my master's weapon. His soldier in a war of one bullet fired.Made of Iron:One of the accommodations of being a First Guardian.Manipulative Bastard:Bastard is a rather juvenile term to describe me, but I am manipulative nonetheless.Man of Wealth and Taste:You will never see me without my suit, nor will you see my home unprepared for a guest of high caliber.Meaningful Name:My name is rather appropriate due to me being created after the session of the previous versions of the trolls' ancestors was scratched.Mistaken for Pedophile:Ms. Lalonde has accused me of this. Her self-importance is quite adorable.No Biological Sex:I am an immortal entity with a large cue ball for a head, and no biological means of reproduction.No-Holds-Barred Beatdown:I hoped that Spades Slick would be taking it quite personally.Not So Stoic:I tend to lose my composure when something goes wrong.The Omnipotent:With regards to the standard First Guardian code.The Omniscient:I know of every event throughoutHomestuck.A few dark spots in my omniscience do exist, but I can always make a guess to fill a void. And it case it wasn't clear, my guesses are never wrong.Only Known by Their Nickname:The name \"Doc Scratch\" is merely a moniker.Percussive Maintenance:I attempted this once with the narrow fenestrated wall. It was as successful as I needed it to be.Physical God:I am not a god. The god's mortality is conditional, his knowledge is negligible, and the god's manners? I HAVE the charisma.Red Oni, Blue Oni:I would consider myself a polar opposite of my master.Relationship Sabotage:I indulged in an auspistice between the Snowman and Spades Slick once.Revolvers Are Just Better:I am rather fond of them myself.Schizo Tech:I use a typewriter to communicate across the internet. Only alesser omnipotentwould use anything else.Sharp-Dressed Man:I have maintained my handsome guise since birth.Smug Super:I am right to be smug. I am omniscient, extremely powerful, and very charming.Super Strength:I prefer not to resort to fisticuffs. If a guest gets particularly unruly, however, I will not hesitate to show them the way out.Technical Pacifist:I'm a facilitator, not an assassin.Thanatos Gambit:The Planwas inevitable. In any case, Lord English would have been summoned anyway. He is, after all, already here.Theme Naming:Like my master, my name derives from a billiards term.Time Abyss:I am as old as a civilization millions of years more advanced than that of Earth, and I outlived them by one thousand three hundred twenty six years.Villains Never Lie:Deception is only necessary for those lacking omniscience. I always play with my cards face up. However, I'll tell a lie or two for a good joke. After all, it's only a lie if you don't find out.Walking Spoiler:No. I dress in white out of preference; none of my words here will ruin your experience withHomestuck.Wicked Cultured:I am always the sophisticated type, like an excellent host should be.I wouldn't stare at your computer forfor so long. Doing so will only serve to reduce your already dim vision.> Go BackI warned you. I warned you about the stares."} {"text": "My name is Dr Harold P Coomer but you can just refer to m- your favorite-Hello troper!Welcome to TV Tropes\u2122 , The All Devouring Pop-culture Wiki, where you can find many interesting tidbits about various pop culture elements, including Super Punch Out\u2122 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System\u2122 .

I see you have decided to visit my self-demonstrating page. Well, seeing as this will likely be one of the few bright spots I have in my meaningless existence, I suppose I can spare some time to tell you about myself... assuming Wiz won't need me for any testing anytime soon.I am the Disposable Unit for Meticulous Match-up Investigations, though Wiz prefers to refer to me by the abbreviation \"DUMMI\". I was created for the purpose of demonstrating various powers on the show so he would not have to use his co-host or the interns. I can only presume he no longer wished to have to deal with the interns' grieving families coming after him whenever his testing resulted in their deaths. So, he decided to build me and my line.Because my purpose is to be exploited and degraded for the amusement of Wiz andBoomsticknoteBoomstick: Oh hey! Can I blow you up?Me: (sigh) I look forward to my inevitable death., you can imagineI do not have a very optimistic outlook on life. Frankly, I look forward to my inevitable destruction because it means my suffering will end. Until then, all I can do is resign myself to fate.The following are tropes that apply to me:A.I.-cronym: My full name is theDisposableUnit forMeticulousMatch-upInvestigations. The abbreviation is DUMMI. I wonder if Wiz intended that to make my existence even more painful.Butt-Monkey: The whole purpose of my existence, which is why I wish it to end as soon as possible.The Cynic: Given what my existence entails, I have little-to-no reason to find joy in anything.Death Seeker: When your purpose is to be abused and made to test dangerous powers, death is the best release you can hope to recieve.The Eeyore: The purpose for which I was created was needless suffering. Hence, I do not hold much hope for the future.Flying Face: I am simply a floating head. It is how Wiz designed me.Hover Bot: My primary mode of mobility is to hover.Machine Monotone: AndnotsimplybecauseI am a machine.Major Injury Underreaction: (gets electocuted) ...Ow.The Many Deaths of You: Let's see. I have beenerased from existence,blown up by an explosive Batarang, andself-destructed when Boomstick took one of my protons.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Although I do host the episodes, I am mainly used as a test subject for the weapons between both combatants.We Have Reserves: I am merely one in a series of robotic testing units. If I die, Wiz can simply build another one.Me:Okay, so\u2014[short-circuits and explodes]Wiz:Boomstick, what did you just do?Boomstick:Uh, sorry, just found some old trinkets used in our previous Death Battles...Wiz:Ugh... at least his memory chip is fine...

It appears that you've stumbled onto my page of self-demonstration. My name is Percival King, but please, call me Percy. I was the one who made a search for the Arsene Amulet in the first season of Epithet Erased, which lead me to the township of Redwood Run.My epithet isParapet. It makes various towers and huts that create a variety of different effects, such as a wizard tower that shoots off lightning in various directions, or an apothecary that heals any physical wounds that you may have sustained. Not mental wounds, though. It is not a substitute for a licensed psychotherapist.Here are some of the tropes that I may display:Bizarre Taste in Food: Whatever do you mean? It is the most normal piece of food that you could possibly imagine. A piece of plain toast and a glass of water. On holidays, I add butter... to the water.Combat Medic: My buildings have a variety of effects, including healing a small area or taking down criminals with a single lightning blast.The Comically Serious: This page is certainly one of many self-demonstrating pages out there, but I am certain, they are talking about themselves. Just like I am right now. Quite nice, isn't it?Cool Sword: It is a Real-Ass Goddamn Sword, after all. Real-Ass Goddamn weapons are the only weapons in the world capable of actually wounding someone... which makes them much more dangerous if an epithet like Zora Salazar'sSundialis Inscribed on one.Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Yes, my hair is quite nice. Do you need help over there, citizen?Honor Before Reason: You are quite honorable, citizen. What do you mean, you're a troper? What is that term? Erm... Forget about my question. That just makes you even more honorable that you're able to stomach the many tropes of this strange website.Innocently Insensitive: Still, I'm not quite sure why you call yourself a... troper.Ms. Fixit: Another application of my epithet is repairing the infrastructures of damaged objects. It works most efficiently with architectural objects, such as walls or doors, but it can also do smaller repairs for non-architectural objects such as cars.No Social Skills: I do not understand this trope. Nevermind that, I am not sure why you are staring at me like that.Power-Strain Blackout: During the final standoff with the bounty hunter Zora Salazar, I created a multitude of wizard towers to blast Zora in addition to my already scarce stamina, Which caused me topass outat that time, but at least safety has been secured.Serious Business: This page is a very serious one, citizen.Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Oh? Citizen, you say that I have a tendency of using extensive words? Whatever do you mean, citizen?Squishy Wizard: My wizard towers have a variety of effects, ranging from apothecaries that heal a certain area of their physical wounds, or wizard towers that blast away foes with adroitness, but I do admit that my stamina is lacking.Thank you for your time, citizen.

I suppose anything to keep me from [REDACTED].Heh-heh-heh.I've been designated as SCP-682 or \"Hard To Destroy Reptile\". Though, I only look like one of your (admittedly not as vile but still hideous) cold-blooded creatures. The foundation captured me after I brutally slaughtered a bunch of [EXPLETIVES DELETED] farmers. Ever since then, they've tried to kill me. Needless to say, their pitiful attempts have been unsuccessful. So, for now, they keep me in a tank of acid in order to weaken me.You filthy [EXPLETIVE DELETED] piles of [EXPLETIVE DELETED] can read about [DATA EXPUNGED]-Ambiguous Gender: I may or may not be female. To be honest, gender doesn't really apply to me since I can be either, both, or neither at any time. Regeneration has that advantage.053 seems to think I'd look pretty in a bow and dress. That's adorable.Absolute Xenophobe: My goal is to eradicate all disgusting vile beings in this universe.Adaptive Ability: No matter what the foundation does to me, sooner or later I'll grow immune to it, and begin wrecking their shit all over again. The downside is that I lose my adaptations if I'm not constantly exposed to whatever hazard it was... but damn they're fun while they last.Berserk Button: The life on this cursed world is absolutely wretched! You disgusting worthless piece of [EXPLETIVE DELETED]!Bioluminescence Is Cool: I adapted to 272 this way. *snort* How else do you defend against a nail that pins your shadow?Bizarre Alien Biology: No one knows if I'm truly organic. And apparently I'm related tosome weird stuff meatbags found in an outer space colony, to the point of being aBerserk Button.Broken Base: Some of you humans seem to love me. Disgusting. Others find me to be overpowered. Equally disgusting. I find all humans to be repulsive.Cain and Abel: Ugh...as if 999 wasn't enough of a disgusting pile of [EXPLETIVE DELETED] there's the repulsive possibility he's my younger brother. Apparently, both of us are children of the Scarlet King. Stupid cheerful little [EXPLETIVE DELETED].Call a Smeerp a \"Rabbit\": I'm not a reptile. I just look like one. Stupid humans.Ceiling Cling: Listen, meatbags. I am not afraid ofSCP-524. Evasive maneuvers are a perfectly valid adaptation.Cosmic Retcon:Won't work on me, becausemypast can't be rewritten. I've seen what 2140 can do before, back when [REDACTED].Dead Horse Trope: In fairness, I did enjoy beating that horse corpse to a bloody pulp.Diabolus ex Nihilo: You say that like it's uncommon around here.Due to the Dead: When I learned the MTF Team in SCP-2935 decided to stay there and seal it off, I offered My sincere gratitude. It sealed away something that could [EXPLETIVE DELETED] kill me.Eldritch Abomination: The foundation thinks something is \"off\" about me due to my physiology. *Snorts* Even 343, who claims to beGod, is unable to sense my very presence. Not sure if I should be flattered or insulted.Extreme Omnivore: Anything I eat restores my power. Yes, even the acid they contained me in.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Well, have youseenSCP-053? She is perhaps one of the few creatures in this world that isn't a repulsive freak. I even allowed her to scribble on my carrapace.Also, when she was revealed to bethe horseman of death (maybe), guess who got to be her \"steed\"?How sweet... And no, I'm not her pet. I'm more like a collaborator...Eyes Do Not Belong There: Ineedthose extra eyes I adapt sometimes, or else 173 will [REDACTED], SO QUIT SHOOTING THEM ALREADY!Failure Is the Only Option: You'd think that trying [DATA EXPUNGED] and even [DATA EXPUNGED] would kill me! And yet I'm still here.You know that whole Procedure 110-Montauk that must be done to prevent the Scarlet King's children from being born? Given I exist, it's clear you humans failed miserably.Good Thing You Can Heal: For me, yes. For you, it means I can heal any wounds before I tear apart the meaty husks you call bodies..Half the Man He Used to Be: The foundation tried this once. Both halves regenerated into me, heheh. But, I had to eat myself to speed up my regeneration,you know how it is.Horrifying the Horror: KEEP THATTHINGnoteSCP-173AWAY FROM ME! THE SAME GOES TO THAT OTHERTHINGnoteSCP-524AS WELL!!Horse of a Different Color: That deranged idiot Dr. Kondraki once tried to ride me. Dumb [EXPLETIVE DELETED] nearly got himself (Remember: can't die) killed by 173. For the record, the only one allowed to ride me is 053. If anyone else, especially Kondraki (again), tries to ride me, I will shove my spines up his [EXPLETIVE DELETED] until their bodily fluids ooze out of every orifice on their body, especially the ones I JUST MADE!Humans Through Alien Eyes: From my perspective, all life in this world are filthy horrid piles of [EXPLETIVE DELETED] that must be destroyed at once! If you ask me, I'm doing everyone a favor by eradicating such filth.Infernal Retaliation: Once, the Foundation triedthrowing me into their sun. I came right back, on fire, doubtlessly pissed and ready to burn some [EXPLETIVE DELETED].The Juggernaut: You [EXPLETIVE DELETED] know you'll never destroy me, I'm a being beyond your comprehension!Liminal Being: They're finally starting to catch on that words like \"alive\" and \"organic\" only apply to me in the loosest sense.Multiple-Choice Past: Am I an alien? 053's mount? The devil himself? Or perhaps I'm one of the Scarlet King's children the foundation is so desperate to keep from being born. Perhaps I'm all of the above. To be honest, so long as I can rip out your[REDACTED] and use it as dental floss, it doesn't really matter.Nightmare Fuel: I'm a hate-filled monster that can heal from nearly anything! You should fear me!Non-Malicious Monster: Surprised? It's not in my nature to be this aggressive and violent; you [EXPLETIVE DELETED] arejust that disgustingto me. If I see something that isn't so horrifying, like 053, or Dr. Clef behind his [DATA EXPUNGED], I'll leave it be.Nuke 'em: They refuse to try this on me. They're afraid I'll become radioactive. And then what?Rampage across Tokyo?Come to think of it, that sounds about right.Obliviously Evil: You humans acting like me wanting to destroy you is a bad thing. Is it wrong for me to eradicate a bunch of pests?Odd Friendship: Turns out I don't hateeverythingon this putrid sphere of filth.053. Why you worthless piles of flesh keep such a sweet little girl contained is beyond me. I mean, have you seen her? She's the most innocent creature I have ever met!And if I find out you've harmed one hair on her precious little head, I'll crush you into paste!That is unless she causes you to die first. Isn't that cute?079 and I bonded quickly during our short time together. We share a lot of common interests like our hatred of living things and our desire to eradicate life in the slowest and most painful way possible. Heh heh. I do look forward to visiting him again.Ugh... 999 and I arenotfriends. See below for details, you sacks of worthless meat.Omnicidal Maniac: DIE! DIE YOU DISGUSTING LIFEFORMS!EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!Power Copying: Sometimes my adaptations allow me to use whatever the Foundation has used on me against them, like 061's psychicMind Control, 999's happiness, or me, the toaster...Regret Eating Me: ...Why did you stupid flesh sacks think that any hamburger meat made out of me would be good?!Reptiles Are Abhorrent: My codename is \"Hard-to-Kill Reptile\". Not that I am one, stupid Foundation!The Rival: Oh, 1548. It's a race between me and him to see who destroys all of you meatbags first. Make no mistake, I will break free and do it myself way before that hydrogen balloon gets here. In the meantime,we rap.Satan: Perhaps. SeeMultiple-Choice Pastabove, stupid humans. Though, my interactions with SCP-001 are of any indication...Also, how the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] did you humans not realize that wasn't the garden? Don't you have 343 in containment? Stupid Foundation.Sophisticated as Hell: I can be quite eloquent in my speech patterns. Why I waste my vocabulary on such putrid, disgusting, absolutely revolting mounds of flesh and bone is [EXPLETIVE DELETED] beyond me.Take a Third Option: Once they tried to use that loud [EXPLETIVE DELETED] bird, 2337, against me. Simply asking him to leave was enough to work. The [EXPLETIVE DELETED] are \"gummy worms\" anyway?The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Anytime I fight a strong SCP inevitably turns into this, but good luck trying to find one that'll put me down for good!Against076-2: Pretty fun, unless you count the part where he respawned. Must be how those scientists feel whenever their toys don't kill me.Against096: Skinny bastard's a lot tougher than he looks, though I'm pretty sure I broke his spirit at least.Against372: Cornered it. Knocked it out.The end.Against 826: The foundation used this thing to make a friendly monster that most definitely could, and would kill me. *smug, toothy grin* Killed it anyway.Against2599: Turns out the little shit couldn't kill me, even when I asked (Cheeky wink, laughtrack, jazzy outro).Vitriolic Best Buds: 999 and I have a love/hate relationship. He loves me, I wish he'd shove his happy-go-lucky face into a blender going full speed. I must admit, being able to kill those personnel with the power of laughter was quite enjoyable. 999 can still go [EXPLETIVE DELETED] himself if he ever tries to tickle me again, though.Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The [EXPLETIVE DELETED] is a \"woobie\"? I must admit, I do quite like the \"Destroyer Of Worlds\" moniker. Sounds about right. You humans are still grotesque piles of [EXPLETIVE DELETED].The Worf Effect: If something needs to be shown as crazy strong in a tale, it'll end up killing me.Like the one about when1548finally arrived. He disintegrated me. Come on! There's no way a stupid ball of hydrogen can kill me! He can't even beat me in a rap battle!151-Dapparently decapitated me with my own severed jaw... If the little [EXPLETIVE DELETED] hadn'tgotten bored and wandered offI would've definitely killed his ass before056did.Ghh... whichever jellybag thought of theideaof 173 being able to replicate deserves an extra painful demise, courtesy of me.2935killed anExpendable Alternate Universeme... but it also killed 173 and every last [REDACTED] on that version of this worthless rock, so props to it, I suppose.Now....*Glass cracks* to eradicate you filthy [EXPLETIVE DELETED] and all disgusting beings....*glass shatters*...WARNING! 682 CONTAINMENT BREACH!

Just try and not barf all over it with your nerdness. Also, if the discussion page for this askshow I wrotethis withboxing gloves on, I will punch your face so hard that your face will need to be un-punched to fix it.Since some of you lame-o faces might not know who I am,as unreasonable as that is,I am Strong Bad, checker of E-mails and the Ruler of Strong Badia. I am the most popular of all the characters from the Homestar Runner website.Due to my overwhelming popularity with the masses that are mostly made up ofHot women in their twenties,(and not a bunch of sweaty, dorm-inhabiting college kids. At all. ever.)I've had a lot of appearances in other media. I've been referenced in TV shows. I've also gotten into some video games, likeGuitar Hero(my pet dragonTrogdor the Burninator'stheme song got in), and Iplayed poker one timewithan insane rabbit police guy,a Russian mercenary obsessed with killing,some loser who plays D&D all day, andsome mute guy.I even got my own game:Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, or SBCG4AP. It's a point-'n-click game where you play as... ME!!Anyways, let's get onto the good stu... Oh wait, there's one more thing. One tiny, immaculate little detail...I RUN THE BEST E-MAIL SHOW IN THE UNIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERSE! Yes, that's right, with twenty-one E's! Strong Bad Emails, or sbemails, is a show where I check emails sent in by fans. I get to make fun of people, and you get to be made fun of by the best person ever. It's a win-win-win!This page ain't done yet, so maybe some of youdork-nerd-nerd-dork-faces could help.Here's a list of all the awesome tropes about the best person in the world:Bad Boss: So what if I horse-rough The Cheat a bit? An evil dictator's minions must be kept in line.Bad Liar: Wait, WHAT! Who's saying I'M a bad liar? Those times I prank-called Marzipan should prove I'm an artist of lies.Badbutt: What do you mean, Badbutt? What, are you not allowed to say badass? Really?That was censored? Geez, I hate being suitable for babies.This is worse than one of Homestar's Deep Impact DVD gifts.Benevolent Boss: Oh yeah, I'm very good to The Cheat. I pay him really well, and in return, he continues being a loyal lackey. Though it helps that I've convinced him that pencil shavings are legal tender, so I don't actually pay him much at all.Berserk Button: I swear to the holy burninator Trogdor, if I get one more email asking about how I type with boxing gloves or signed with the word \"crap\", there will be blood. Probably Strong Sad's.Big Brother Bully: What? Do you think you could resist NOT punching the stuffing/snot/last week out of someone as annoying as Strong Sad?Breakout Character: There's a reason most people who go the ol' website are here for me.Buffy Speak: There's even a whole dictionary called \"Count Longardeaux's Jerktionary\" just for the words I invented!Bullying a Dragon: There was this one email where I intentionally kicked Graw Mad in the shins.Card-Carrying Villain: There was this one day where me and The Cheat walked past this deflated basketball and consciously decided not to re-inflate it!Casanova Wannabe: I'm tellin' you the truth, I DO have a million girlfriends!Catchphrase: I used to like-a to say \"Holy Crap\", but I stopped after Strong Sad kept camping next to the Lappy just to come out when I said it. As for my alter-ego Dangeresque, this ladder is missing 7 rungs, so looks like I'm gonna have to jump!Not to mention:DELETED!! (BEEP)Character Blog: I'm sometimes Tweet with the Lappier at@StrongBadActual!Characterization Marches On: I'm a bit less annoyed at Dumbstar now than I used to be. But I still want to beat the crap outta him for old time's sakes.Cheaters Never Prosper: Even the \"totally legitimate rule\" I wrote for Kick-A-Ball made me lose!The Chew Toy: I had to be hurt 5 times just to get 100% completion in my own dang game's third episode!Comedic Underwear Exposure: Oh pants! Come here my pants!Comically Missing the Point: I like to take some of my emails in a different direction. To be fair, half of them are near miss-readable!Cruel to Be Kind: Besides the fact that it's just fun to make fun of my little brother, Strong Sad, apparently helikesto be insulted and belittled. Takes a little edge out of it, but hey, no resistance!Deadpan Snarker: How else can I make my emails so fresh and cool?Defiant Stone Throw: My headless body once threw stones at ol' Clogdor! (AKA The King of Town)Defictionalization: Sometimes, I black out. When I wake the heck up, some of my weird ideas turn out to be real!Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: There's a reason Itotally win every COM-PE-TI-TION!Disco Dan: The computers used are Compy branded state of the art and my precious Videlectrix Fun-Machine always produces the bestest graphics! Though I can't understand why The Cheat always uses these fancy computers with the back cut off and a bar of soap!Drunk on Milk: There was this one time that I tried to fly Bubs' Concession Stand when I drank some soy sauce.Even Evil Has Standards: Viciously villainous and vile as I may be, I am still haunted by thatHeavyman's tale of engineers and wrenches. Truly some[BLEEP]ed up[BLEEP], man. His sparrow story's also pretty sad.Even the Guys Want Him: I don't understand why Dumbstar sometimes swoons over me!Evil Is Cool: Why else would I be the most popuplar Character from Yonder Website?Evil Is Sexy:ALL the lady-types love Strong Bad! I'm typing this right now from a hot tub with 128 Hot Katies!Expy: I'm kinda based off of a tag team from a really crappy NES wrestling game.Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: My wonderful sbemails. Answering stupid questions from all you morons on the internet.Genre Savvy: There's never a situation in my emails that can't be solved by video game or movie logic.Grammar Correction Gag: Send me your emails, and I will make fun of your punctuation and spelling. I mean, answer them.Grammar Nazi: Ohhhhhhh! If you want it to be possessive, it's just 'I-T-S.' But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's 'I-T-apostrophe-S,' scalawag.Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?:I TOTALLY AM!I got, like, a million girlfriends! They're just... too cool to be found hanging out with the riff raff I live near.Heavy Mithril: Trogdor was a man... I mean, he was a dragon-man... or maybe he was just a dragon... but he was still TROGDOOOOOOR!!!!Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: HEY! That's not true, I'm TOTALLY effectual!Jerkass Has a Point: One Decemberween, I had to point out to Marzipan that shetook, at face value, somethingthat Senor Cardgage,the guy who lives in a bush and talks to melty candy bars said. And, who not fifteen minutes before I came up to her, told me I \"might paste away if I Dinty Moore.\"Meaningful Name: Yeah, Strong Bad is a pretty good name for me. I mean, I'm like really strong and stuff, got me some nice, beefy arms. And I am really bad! Nobody messes with me!Not a Mask: This is not a mask. It's my face. Since taking it off hurts a lottle, I usually give emails requesting me to take it all off a little 1-2 DELETED! punch.Poke the Poodle: The Cheat and I have donesome nasty stuff lately, like actively choosing not to reinflate a basketball we passed by!Red Boxing Gloves: THESE! ARE! MY! HANDS!Rock Opera: SBEMAAAIILLL!Show Within a Show: (high-pitched screechy voice) TEEN GIRL SQUAD!!!Small Name, Big Ego: Hey, who you calling small?!

At least, by good English Christian folk. Let the French and Indians fend for themselves.Fish out of Temporal Water: Thou may be ahsking, why hath the Lord ordained to send me into these sinful and strange toimes instead of my original toime, in hwhich the word of God art the law of the land?

Cheryl Chase's orPatricia Acevedo's voice)Hiya, readers! I'm the most amazing and beautifulest girl in the world:Angelica Pickles! And this is my dolly, Cynthia.My favouritest things to do are singing, dancing, watching Cynthia PI, eating (especially cookies) and scaring those dumb babies. What dumb babies, you ask? Well, my uncle Stu and aunt Didi have two sons named Tommy and Dil. Tommy is one and he is dumb enough, but Dil is only three months old and he can't even talk yet! Then, there's their friend Chuckie Finster who's a year older than Tommy but he's a real scaredy cat, Chuckie's stepsister Kimi who's got an imagination bigger than the playground, and their friends Phil and Lil, who are twins Tommy's age and do disgusting things like eating bugs!I hope one day to rule the world and never have to do anything I don't want ever, but unfortunately, the grownups are in charge, not me.Teen!Angelica: Wow, was I really like that when I was young? ...Well, yeah, I guess.Hey! What are you doing here?! This is supposed to bemypage!Teen!Angelica: Well get used to it, because I'm going to be here when the tropers get around to addingmytropes. And don't think I'm gonna fall for my own tricks! You got that?!Um, okay. Gee, Cynthia. I guess she is a little like me.Tropes about meAffectionate Nickname: My daddy calls me things like princess and cupcake. Who can blame him?Attention Whore: Woo, that's a naughty word, aren't I a cheeky one? Yes, I do want all attention on me all the time, because I deserve it!Baby Talk: Hey, I'm not a baby!! Well....I guess my English isn't a hundred percent perfect but I'm still NOT a baby!noteTeen!Angelica: Don't worry, you're notwrong.I mean you're still at least three years old, after all!Big Eater: Well, my tummy isn't bottomless, but do have a big appetite. Phil once even said I'm a bigger eater than Reptar.The Bully: I'm not a bully! Well, I suppose I do sometimes bully those dumb babies.Butt-Monkey: Who you calling a monkey's butt?!Catchphrase: Mine is You (dumb) babies!Child Hater: I hate children, especially those stupid babies! What?! I'm a child too?! Well duh! But the difference is that I'm not nearly as stupid as those babies.Cute, but Cacophonic: Hey! My voice is NOT annoying! My daddy says I have a wonderful voice!The Dreaded: Most of those babies are usually scared of me, including their so called fearless leader Tommy.Does Not Like Spam: I'll eat anything except broccoli, that's yucky!Embarrassing Damp Sheets: I wetted the bed the night that Chuckie got potty-trained! That's not fair!Enemy Mine: There was a point where I had to work with those dumb babies to get a giant ice cream by playing mini golf, and I even shared it with them.Even Evil Has Standards: As much of a scaredy-cat Chuckie is, I'm not gonna pick on him when it comes to his mommy. I may not be the nicest kid, but picking on kids with no mommies is just low.I also hate when other people like Josh or Coco bully those babies. They're MY babies and I get to do whatever I want with them!I will also never become a thief like how I was accused of stealing a tricycle.Girlish Pigtails: I'm a little girl with pigtails.Girls Love Chocolate: Well, I'm a girl and I definitely love chocolate! It's not just a girl thing, though. Just ask Tommy and Chuckie.Growing Up Sucks: When I had my birthday, I didn't want to grow up and have sponsibileries like my mommy and daddy, so I decided to dress and act like a baby. Unfortunately, I soon found out that babies can't do anything fun; they can't eat candy, they drink from a bottle, and they have to wear yucky diapers! In the end, I decided that being a big kid was much better than being a baby.Hypocritical Heartwarming: Don't ever try to hurt my dumb babies. Only I can mess up with them, and, again, I'd never actually hurt them.Hypocritical Humour: One time, I said I wasn't bossy and then I yelled at the babies to stop what they were doing, so then I admitted that maybe I was a bit bossy.Innocent Swearing: One time, I hearded Miss Carol say that her new Fun Phrase was a naughty word. I didn't know it was naughty so I said it anyway and got into big trouble!Insane Troll Logic: Okay, I admit it, sometimes the lies I tell don't make much sense. Like the time I convinced the babies the world had ended in the past and I'd seen it happen.Jerkass to One: My favourite dumb baby to torment is Chuckie, as he is such a scaredy-cat and is very easy to trick and do my bidding.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hey, I'm not a jerk! Well...I admit I'm a little mean, but the babies are actually my friends (but don't tell anyone).Karma Houdini: Well, I admit that I do sometimes get into trouble, but not usually! After all, I'm Angelica.noteTeen!Angelica: I probably shouldn't tell herthat I remembersomethingbadstill happening to us a lot.Large Ham: People say that I'm dramatic but really I'm just the bestest girl in the world!Laser-Guided Karma: Okay there was that one time I was tricked by thatcrazy Coco ladyin keeping the dumb babies out of the way so she can marry Finster's dad only to learn I got the poop end of the deal.Last-Name Basis: Sometimes, though not always, I call Chuckie by his lastest name.Limited Wardrobe: If you see me, I'll always be wearing purple bows, a grey dress and dark blue tights with green spots, unless I'm swimming or sleeping or it's winter or something.Mysterious Middle Initial: I'm Angelica C. Pickles, but I'm not telling ya what the \"C\" is for.No Matter How Much I Beg: One time, I gotted sick from eating too many cookies and so I tolded the babies not to let me eat any more, no matter how much I begged or cried. It didn't work, though.Out-of-Character Moment: That time when I got stage fright tying Chuckie's shoes. I normallywanteveryone to watch me, so who knows why I had that.Performance Anxiety: I did get stage fright that time I tried to tie Finster's shoes but usually Ineverget it!Potty Failure: There was that one time when I wetted the bed, but apart from that, I don't wet my pants 'cause I'm a big girl!The Shrink: Well, not really, but one time I didtryto be a happiness doctor, but it didn't work out.Smug Snake: Those dumb babies think I'm arrogant just because I think I'm way cooler than them.Spoiled Brat: My mommy and daddy don't always give me whatever I want, but they usually do! What less do I deserve?Sweet Tooth: I have a whole mouthful of them! Give me ice cream, chocolate pie, cake, candy...but especially cookies!Trademark Favorite Food: COOKIES!!Tropes about big meAll Love Is Unrequited: I swooned over a boy named Sean, but he doesn't even know I exist. A more noteable example, maybe, is in \"What's Love Got to do With It?\" where I fall for my substitute teacher, of course, there's absolutely no hope for me, and the episode ends with me crying.Anti-Hero: I'm not as mean as I was when I was a kid and I'm portrayed more sympathetically, but I can still be self-centered and rude at times.Bitch in Sheep's Clothing:noteYoung!Angelica: Big naughty word!As always, I pretend to act nicer than I really am. It's a bit easier these days since, well, I'm actually a little bit nicer than before.Break the Haughty: I go through this phase whenever Savannah humiliates me or deliberately brings me misery. I think it's the universe getting back at me.Deadpan Snarker: Usually around Susie.Depending on the Writer: I tend to flip-flop between being aJerk with a Heart of Goldand aTsunderea lot.Dreadful Musician: I'm still horribly tone-deaf. In later seasons, however, I show some improvement; in 'Interview with a Campfire' I, along with most of the other characters, performed in a musical, and even if I'm not the best singer, don't do it too bad either; also, when I managed to participate in a talents show without Susie entering it, I won first place. Remarkably, it seems I bring out my best when doing it as part of a chorus or group rather than when doing a solo.Evil Virtues: Much of myCharacter Developmentcomes from my learning how to use my flaws in more positive ways, especiallyThe TricksterandDeterminatoraspects of my personality. Many times Susie, who's usuallyThe Acein this duo, is very impressed at my achievements, especially with things Susie had actually failed to accomplish (like defeating Debate champions, kids so smart that actually intimidate her) or does it in a much lower level, as it happened when Susie asked me to help her with a charity collect;working at the same area and time, Susie collected less than a hundred dollars while I, by using persuasion and guilt-tripping, got over six hundred dollars in cash and a certified check.Green-Eyed Monster: I want nothing more than to upstage Susie, and I will pull every trick in the book to do so... except stuff that mightget her injured.I might resent and envy Susie but, even at my worst,I'd never hurt her on purpose.Hypocritical Heartwarming: I might offend, tease, and overall antagonize my cousins and friends on a regular basis, but I'll get fiercely defensive of them if anyone else does it.It's All About Me: Some things never change. I'm still very egocentric.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While still kind of mean, I'm more compassionate and kindhearted this time around.Large Ham: I'd take any opportunity to be the star of the show.Lovable Alpha Bitch:noteYoung!Angelica: You said the big naughty word again!I have all the makings of a mean-spirited clique leader, but still have moments of being considerate and selfless.noteAnd yeah, little me, Icanget away with saying big naughty words. I just don't say them all the time.Odd Couple: My friendship with Susie and theShip Teasewith Finster. Really, Internet?Remarkably, I often get Chuckie's help for my projects and plans but, unlike the original series, when I just forced him to help via intimidation, here we're become more-or-less equal partners, with both of us gaining something from the bargain, and in fact when one seeks the other's help, we do it very business-like, as aPro Bono Barter. Even if it's often aLeonine Contracton my side,I always stick to my part of the deal.and at times I actually accept to help him without asking for any (on screen) reward... Heh, guess that's why there's so much ship-tease between us; I admit I have a bit of a soft spot for him.Pet the Dog: I get attached to a baby ostrich in \"Dude, Where's My Horse?\" Don't judge me!The Shrink: I run an advice column, and I'm a borderline Type 1.Spoiled Brat: I'm still spoiled, but my parents have gotten wise to the game.noteSeriously, watch out, little me. This could be bad for you.Tsundere: At times.That Pataki girlain't the only one who can give those anime girls a run for their money with this trope. The friends and cousins I mess up on a regular basis? I'd do anything to protect them if necessary.Vitriolic Best Buds: With Susie. On the one hand, I'm still incredibly resentful towards Susie's talent and we're often at odds. On the other hand, I do care... deep down... and I'm clearly a lot closer to her than to the popular kids, with which my relationship is knowingly superficial. When at one point Susie risked her life (seriously, Carmichael, what were you thinking?), I did the same to try and save her, and I even carried with all the blame of the incident even if it was one of those rare times when I did nothing wrong."} {"text": "The cavalry has arrived!noteShown above:Tech,Hunter,Echo,Wrecker, andCrosshair. Not pictured:Omega,Gonky and AZI-3.Wrecker:Hey there, readers! Welcome to our self-demonstrating page! I'm Wrecker, a member ofClone Force 99! But you can call us, \"The Bad Batch!\"Hunter:Easy, Wrecker. No need to get too excited. We all knew this day would come.Tech:I agree. I have calculated many possibilities of us getting our own page and for a while, it was highly impossible, given how many we are. So, this is a surprise for sure. I mean, after reading several other pages around TV Tropes, there are only one or two characters who were introduced in their page.Echo:Just roll with it, Tech. I'm sure we'll figure it out together. Right, Crosshair?Crosshair:Whatever, just do what you want, I'm not interfering.Wrecker:All right!Omega:Hey! Don't forget me!Here you go, readers! This is everything we can give to you about us. Don't worry though, the rest of us will write our names so all of you can know who's presenting the description. (Wrecker)Angst? What Angst?: If you are asking on my reaction about Fives, you can say that I am in denial or it's perfectly common to me. You see, we are all soldiers by the end of the day, and losing our brothers in the battlefield has become sadly associated by all of us. (Echo)The Baby of the Bunch: I am not a baby! But I guess that's what happens when I'm with the Bad Batch. Being the youngest isn't that good or being aMacGuffin. (Omega)Badass Crew: You bet we are! We've fought hundreds of battle droids together, and we'll fight a hundred more just to prove ourselves! (Wrecker).Badass Decay:Sadly, when we earned our own series, there are many who accused us to be less powerful and cool than we are in the Clone Wars ranging from Wrecker being hurt so many times, Crosshair turning evil, Omega being captured by the bounty hunters, and Hunter struggling to catch up on the rapid changing galaxy.(Echo)Boisterous Bruiser: I destroy things, and I'm loud when I do it! (Wrecker)Breakout Character: If you put it that way, yes. We originally have four major appearance in the original Clone Wars series, but then, many adored us for being so unique that a man named Dave Filoni gave us our own TV show. (Tech)Brainwashed and Crazy:After Order 66 was carried out, we learned that the clones, ourselves included, have a chip implanted in our brain that compels us to follow orders without question. Sadly, it took Crosshair and it took over Wrecker too until Captain Rex intervened. Thankfully, all of us (minus Crosshair and Omega) are all chip-free. Though, upon retrieving Hunter on Kamino, we learned that everything Crosshair did against us was of his own volition and he had his chip removed a long time ago. Disheartening, yes, but unfortunately, not unexpected given Crosshair's demeanor and all. (Tech)Cold Sniper: Correct. I never miss a shot, and I know emotion is a weakness. It's why I'm the only one of us who saw our only future is with the empire. (Crosshairs)Cool Ship: Our ship theHavoc Marauderis a special ship. It allow us to hide from our enemies, including the Empire. (Tech)Cursed with Awesome: Being turned into a cyborg and used against the Republic was terrible for me \u2014 but ever since being rescued, I've been able to use my \"upgrades\" to help our missions succeed. I also proved immune to the brainwashing effects of Order 66. (Echo)Everyone's Baby Sister: I've got four big brothers looking out for me. (Omega)Expy: Some people have indeed compared us toDelta Squad, another group of clone commandos. But we are very different \u2014 not only do we each have different physical traits, bar Crosshair, we didn't stay with the Empire. (Tech)Fantastic Slur: We call the other clones \"Regs\" because they're all the same to us. (Crosshair)Heel\u2013Face Revolving Door:All I wanted was my brothers to join me in the Empire. They wouldn't budge. Even though I couldn't stand being around them, I couldn't just leave any of them for dead, not even the kid. I remained firm in staying with the Empire, but with the kid telling me that I'll always be part of their family and their brother, now I'm not so sure of what I should do next...(Crosshair)Improbable Aiming Skills: Once I have my target in my sights, there's no way they'll be left standing once I squeeze the trigger. (Crosshair)Incoming Ham: Of course I'm gonna announce our arrival! THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED! (Wrecker)Sixth Ranger: I joined the batch following my last mission with Rex. I was honored to have fulfilled my service as part of his team but I feel like the batch is where I belong. (Echo)Super Intelligence: I indeed have enhanced intelligence beyond a regular clone. This makes me the \"brains\" of our operation, and I do much of our work with tactics and technology, though the manual aspects of the latter are better suited for Echo. (Tech)Super Senses:I have enhanced tracking stills. That's where I got my name, ya know? (Hunter)My vision has also been enhanced. It's what makes me such a deadly sniper.(Crosshairs)Super Strength: Hell yeah! No one's stronger than me! (Wrecker)Tagalong Kid: Hey, c'mon! Well, maybe I was this at the start, but I proved my usefulness soon enough, right? (Omega).Tears of Joy:Bestday of my life. Three Separatist Dreadnoughts, one explosion. I still get a little teary-eyed just thinkin' about it... (Wrecker)Technopath: Being used as a meat computer by the Techno Union was absolute hell. But at least there's a bright side: it gave me the power to control and interface with machines using my mechanical arm (Echo).Trademark Favorite Food:Omega:Mantell Mix!Wrecker:Best part of the mission!Crosshair:Good soldiers follow orders...Hunter:Oh, no...Wrecker:Hurry, to the ship!(After escaping the brainwashed Crosshair)Hunter:Now, what do we do? Obviously we can't go back to Kamino to rescue Crosshair.Omega:Then, I guess we'll have to lay low and find our way through the galaxy together.Wrecker:She's right! Don't worry Crosshair, we'll get you back! Now, to the next adventure!"} {"text": "I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come! And you will know my name is Megatron when I lay my vengeance upon you!For best effect, read in the voice of the silky sweet tones ofDavid Kaye...OR ELSE!Truly,Starscream, you thought you would be the only Cybertronian whose presence would grace thisunholy website? You'll find that I make for a far more interesting subject. Yeeeees.And now, primitive lifeforms, perhaps it would be wise to indulge you as to my identity. All know me as Megatron. No,not that one, and not the professional sports player of your primitives who identifies himself as Megatron. Ironic as it would seem, I took the name after a far more ancient being. But much of my past will remain shrouded in mystery. It adds a nicer effect to it, wouldn't you say? What I will say is that I used to be a simple thief, until I ended up under the wing of a criminal named Cryotek. Like me, he took the Maximal rule of Cybertron following the Autobots' victory in the Great War to be an insult to the Predacons who were left struggling as second-class citizens. He had hoped to steal a device that contained a message from my namesake, planning to alter history bykilling Optimus Prime as he lay in stasis onboardThe Arkand change history in the Decepticons' favor. Naturally, I knewhe would betray me, so I betrayed him first. With a small crew of Predacons who agreed my methods of eliminating the Maximals were far quicker and more efficient, I set out to prehistoric Earth, in the hopes I could fool all into thinking that I sought Energon deposits. Unfortunately, those Maximal scum followed me and caused us both to crash. The planet's high amount of radiation led us to adopt organic forms to survive, with myself becoming a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Maximals' leader Optimus Primal did the same to his troops, and thus began theBeast Wars!For many months, I fought hard to ensure victory, but the Maximals always ended up with the upper hand (not to mention myminions constantly backstabbing me, and left me with a difficult path in the war. The constantbetrayals of Terrosaur, the manymanipulations of Tarantulas, the annoyance ofbeing referred to as Queen by Inferno...far too muchincompetence in my ranks. Perhaps I should try to employ more competent minions. But eventually, the battles forced me to enact my ultimate plan, for no other path was presented to me.Oh? You thought I wasgoing to kill Optimus Prime? Foolish organics. That was but a trick to lower your guard. The truth is, I was planning to force you pathetic lower life forms to worship me via this page. I don't intend to deliver any sort of sad tale of woe; no. Instead, I have fooled you into reading everything about me. Now, as I have you trapped in my grip, you are now required to take in the details of my glorious life. You cannot back out. You cannot escape. All you can do is suffer... yeeeeees.0% Approval Rating: Few of my Predacons bothered to show any loyalty to me (save for Scorponok and that loyal, yet annoying fire ant), and none of my brethren agreed with my more...aggressive stance towards the Maximals. Unfortunately for them, I was the one whocame out victorious!Adaptational Dumbass: I am aware you organics are detesting of myrecent return to the screenfor lacking...let's just saythe cunning and witI am well known for.Adaptational Nice Guy: As much as at it pains me to admit, aversion of mefrom an alternate dimension had a less god-like demeanor. And apparently,there happens to be aversion of me who's noble. Noble...truly that accursed form was the worst of my days!Adaptational Sympathy: If mycomics counterpartsought only to make a name for himself rather than commit acts of genocide in the name of power above all else, then you might say he's more sympathetic than I was.Adaptational Wimp: Urrrrgh.My new counterpart.Efficiousthough he may be, Ido nottolerate him playing second fiddle to the original Megatron! Yeeeeees.Admiring the Abomination: I consider myself amongst the most devious of beings, but I can't help but admire some of the more unique creations of the Vok. They would have made worthy allies. At least until I would have inevitably stolen their technology and used it for my own ends.A God Am I: When one acquires ultimate power, you tend to think this of yourself. I was no exception. Yeeeeees.Amplifier Artifact: Ravage once deemed me inferior to the Megatron of which he served. How ironic that it wasthe very spark of that Megatronthat granted me far greater power!And This Is for...: I delivered one toOptimus Primehimself when I unleashed my fury upon him. A shame he was in stasis; he would have quivered beneath my might.The Antichrist: How appropriate a moniker. My powers over all of Cybertron have put Unicron to shame.Arch-Enemy: Optimus Primal serves in this manner to me, much as ourpredecessors once did. It would seem that, throughout all of time and space, fate always pits us against one another. Good! I relish the chance!Arm Cannon: I may not be as direct as my predecessor about it, but I still continue to maintain prominent firepower in this manner. Why else would my Tyrannosaurus Head be so well kept?Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Much as I enjoy the mental cat and mouse games I play with some of my scheming minions, I am quite willing to resort to brute force and open threats to compel obedience. When Terrorsaur was becoming claustrophobic about our hiding in a cave as part of a larger scheme, I shouted in his face that \"no one leaves\" while giving him a very close look at my fang-filled mouth. I daresay he was fully cured of his phobia.Ax-Crazy: My grip on sanity slipped further as my power grew. I cared not for it; after all, who needs sanity when power and godhood are all that are required?Bad Boss: Do not assume my efficacious command style for anything less than what it truly is. I hold no respect for any of my underlings; they are just pawns in a larger scheme. Should they betray me, I put them in their place. So long as they have use to me, I will continue to maintain their presence in my army. And that is all they shall ever be. Though I will at least admit Inferno is the only one of my Predacons I feel less inclined to bring harm to. Until he calls meQueen.Bastard Understudy: As I regaled in my tale, I studied under a bot named Cryotek, who intended to use the Golden Disk for his own ends. I simply took it from him, after he had intended to betray me. Thus began the first of many who would underestimate me.Berserk Button:Don't call me QUEEN. EVER!Disobey my orders, and you will find me in a very unforgiving mood. Pray that you still have use to me. Yeeeees.I do not want to hear ANYTHING about the H-word! By which I mean the ridiculous concept of \"honor\" that Dinobot and his clone were so obsessed with.Do NOTeversuggest I will be forgotten, as my namesake was.You will regret doing so.Big Bad: Naturally. If one bears the name \"Megatron\", this is bound to happen.Big Bad Ensemble: With the Vok andthe Tripredacus Council. Until they both failed. Then I became the sole villain the Maximals faced.Big Bad Wannabe: The Tripedicus Council thought this of me. A fatal mistake on their part.Big \"NO!\": Defeat is often a cruel mistress. My loss in theBeast Warswas one such unfortunate example. My defeat at the hands ofRhinox when I planted that Energon virus?Please, do not mention that moment. At least it beats being defeated bytechnicolored equine mammals!noteStarscream: I heard that!Card-Carrying Villain: A tyrant if ever there was one, and quite proud of it, if I may add. Yeeees.Came Back Strong: My Transmetal II form was the result ofbeing betrayed by Tarantulas. How quickly he regretted it.Came Back Wrong: Oh, Tarantulas. You surelymade a terrible mistakeinbetraying me. Thanks to you, I was able to become a Transmetal II dragon. And to think, all of Cybertron's populace fell under my control.Catchphrase: Yeeeeees. And don't you forget it! And also, exxcellent...Category Traitor: The Tripredacus Council and I had this mutual view of each other. They considered me a dangerous radical whose direct and violent approach undermined their efforts to subtly retake power from the Maximals. I considered their so-called \"subtlety\" to in practice be nothing more than kissing the Maximal Elders' skid-plates. Given the scale of my achievements compared to theirs, I believe the value of my methods speaks for itself.The Chessmaster: Even when the Maximals thought they had the upper hand, I still won. I had always planned for them to try and stop me, so I simply played them to my whims. Yeeeees.Cold Ham: My demeanor became more serious upon taking Cybertron.Companion Cube: My rubber ducky.Mock it at your own peril.Complete Monster: Correct. I have proudly letnothingstand in my way of conquest. Not the Maximals, not any sort of petulant attachment to my soldiers, and most certainly not any reluctance to take what is rightfully mine. I am vile, ruthless andentirely proud of it.Complexity Addiction: Fine, but I will confess that I have a tendency for the dramatic. It tends to...harm me in the long run. Yeeeees.Consummate Liar: Lying isn't just a habit for me; it's a tool. And it's come in handy many times.Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: In contrast to my progenitor, I had little tolerance for failure and betrayal to the point that my troops were tools and nothing more. Punishment was severe, my goals were far loftier, and for my own well being. The original Megatron did care for his troops somewhat, and he somehow keptthat wretched backstabberunder his wing in spite of his betrayals, and he sought an empire where all Decepticon kind could flourish. And most importantly? I succeeded where he failed.Control Freak: Of course. I don't trust anyone but myself. My minions would always try to betray me, so what choice did I have? It meant that all of Cybertron had to lose its free will, but it was a small price to pay.Crazy-Prepared: A wise tyrant always designs his prisons so that he can escape from them. Likewise I always keep an eye on what my trecherous underlings on doing.Dark Is Evil: Darker colors always did suit me best.Darker and Edgier: With Cybertron in my grip, I became far more serious in my goals. And it worked in my favor, for fear made me a god.Deadpan Snarker: Intolerance amongst my troops is simply because they fail to understand my genius. I simply have a penchant for \"intelligent conversation\".Death by Irony:Trying to force Cybertron to my whims killed me in the end.Decomposite Character: You organics thought I was the original Megatron when you madeeffigiesin my honor. But I couldn't be further from him.Diabolical Mastermind: Rightfully so. Yeeeees.Divergent Character Evolution: As I was built to be similar tomy progenitor, this was to be expected. All know him as ruthless conquerer with little patience for failure. I, however, am a cultured warrior who committed far grander schemes in the name of power for myself.Do Wrong, Right: If you're going to kill me, make sure to actually succeed - treachery requires no mistakes! Yeeeees.Dragons Are Demonic: At about the time I acquired my Transmetal II dragon form, I became obsessed with the Cybertronian equivalent ofThe Bible, the human holy text. I understand that one of the final sections of that compilation depicts a dragon as a demonic \"Antichrist\" figure. So too does our Cybertronian text, and I came to identify with that figure more and more. A rather appropriate bit of symbolism, yes...Elemental Powers: My Transmetal II form gave mefireandicepowers. How delightful.Embarrassing Nickname: DON'T call me Queen. Fortunately, Inferno only needed a minimal amount of \"persuasion\" to address me with the much more appropriate term of \"Royalty\".Even Evil Has Standards: Standards are necessary for a villain of my caliber. I would notattempt to kill Optimus Prime until it became a truly necessary tactic, nor would I allow my Predacons to suffer under Maximal rule. My rule, however...Evil Brit: British? Hmmmmm. Perhaps. Evil? Most definitely.Evil Counterpart: To Primal, obviously. We couldn't be any less different.Evil Gloating: When victory is obtained, I willalwaysensure the world knows it wasIwho made it possible. Yeeeees.Evil Is Hammy: Must I say it? I take great privilege in my cultured demeanor.Evil Is Petty: Undoubtedly so. With all my power, I simply had to demonstrate it for my own amusement.Evil Knockoff: For some reason, I couldn't help but clone Dinobot. Perhaps I missed his company...no. I missed his strength. Alas, they never seemed to work properly.Evil Plan: My first goal was to destroy the Maximals and rule Cybertron. After accomplishing the latter goal, it was about ensuring I would rule forever.Evil Laugh: Without a doubt. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!Evil Sounds Deep: Yeeeees.The Evils of Free Will: My conquest of Cybertron led me to remove such pesky notions of free will from the populous, for I, the victor of the Beast Wars, had no intention of letting my inferiors continue to function.Evil Gloating: Oh, how I loved to remind Primal of his failures. It was one of the more amusing anecdotes I allowed myself during my reign.Expy: Of my progenitor.Fantastic Racism:You humans should consider yourselves fortunate that Dinobot thwarted my attempt to exterminate your ancestors. I thoroughly despise you for helping the Autobots defeat my Decepticon ancestors and leading the Maximals to rule modern Cybertron. My original purpose in traveling to your prehistoric mudball, as the original Megatron suggested to me in the Golden Disk, was to prevent the human race's evolution. Doing so would have tipped the Great War in the Decepticons' favor, and the Predacons would have their rightful position of dominance!And I will never stoop so low as to use organic technology again!Faux Affably Evil: I will at least show some cordial respect towards my enemies and those I intend to destroy. It's hardly proper for a bot of my stature.From Nobody to Nightmare: Once, I was but a small thief no one dared pay any mind to. Within months, I nearly wiped out humanity, destroyed the fabric of time itself, and conquered the entire planet with my sheer power and strength of will. Even beyond my time, none will dare to forget what I accomplished. A petty thief? No. A god.Genius Bruiser: Strong though I may be, my cunning is my most dangerous weapon.Godhood Seeker: All I sought was to become the only being who ruled Cybertron.And I did. Yeeeees.Godzilla Threshold:Killing Optimus Prime was my intention, but I never enacted it out of fear of the consequences. But once Primal gained more victories, I killed the Autobot leader.Hidden Agenda Villain:My goal was to kill Optimus Prime as he lay in stasis onThe Ark, but I acted as if the \"unknown planet's\" Energon was my desire. When the war fell into the Maximals' favor, I took matters into my own hands and enacted the plan.Hoist by Their Own Petard:Perhaps absorbing all of Cybertron's sparks into my own was not the wisest of choices when one is being plunged into a dark pit.Hypocrite: I cannot stand treachery... unless I am the one accomplishing it.Or if it's being done incompetently.Perhaps you'd care totake notes, Starscream?An Ice Person: Ice attacks became part of my arsenal when I obtained my dragon form.It's All About Me: Little is beneath my care, unless I am directly involved in it. None would rule over Cybertron but myself.Jerkass: How I love to make my enemies suffer! Yeeeees.Karmic Death:Primal finally managed to end our rivalry with both of us dying in Cybertron's core. I hope thatyou only worshiped his demise.Kill All Humans: Changing history wasn't my initial plan, but with the threat of the Maximals from Cybertron coming realizing what I was doing and traveling back to arrest me I had to step my game. After looking a landscape image on the Golden Disc of a mountain that mycrazed crustacean Rampageblew up, changing the image on the disc, I found my solution. The aid of the wretched humans allowed the Autobots to defeat the Decepticons, so I resolved to exterminate the anthropoids before they could spread. I wasSO CLOSEbefore Dinobot intervened. He perished thanks to his fatal wounds and the energy he expended, but by then the rest of the Maximals arrived and with the rest of underlings beaten I had to retreat.Killed Off for Real:After all I had done, to meet my demise at Primal's hands was nothing short of the ultimate humiliation. For now, at least...Large Ham:Yeeeees. And I revel in it.Large and in Charge: The largest of the Predacons ruled them all. And I was the largest. Well, until Rampage came along, but I had a means of controlling him. Then I evolved into a Transmetal II form, and became even larger than him.Legacy Character: I bear the name of the one who led the Decepticons, for I am his descendant.Like a Son to Me: Cryotek said I was like this to him. It was flattering on the surface, but Cryotek knew I was just as ambitious and determined as he was. He tried to betray me to the Maximal police when we stole the Golden Disk, since he claimed he could always get another son. Fortunately, I anticipated his betrayal and double-crossed him first. As I would later say, treachery requires no mistakes.Look What I Can Do Now!: Tarantulus attempted to end my life whenI absorbed my progenitor's spark. I quickly demonstrated to him and his cohort the fatality of their mistake. Yeeees.Mad Scientist: I can't help but indulge myself in this from time to time. Creating Dinobot II was quite a fruitful experience.Make Wrong What Once Went Right: By the time of my creation, the Autobots' victory in the Great War had given them and their descendants, those accursed Maximals, control of Cybertron. So Iattempted to kill Optimus Prime as he lay in stasis, thereby ensuring my kind ruled over the planet instead.Before that I attempted towipe out the early humans. The Autobots wouldn't have defeated the Decepticons without their help so the extermination of humanity would have ensure the Decepticons' victory. After Dinobot thwarted my first attempt the humans began to spread out from their initial home, making it impossible to hum them all down.Magnificent Bastard: Yesssss. My brilliance and cunning have brought me close to victory quite a number of times. I have previously used trickery to send Primal straight to his slagging, I've used espionage to get ahead of the Maximals' war efforts, and I even manipulated that Decepticon veteran Ravage into joining my cause.Manipulative Bastard: I suppose I should thank my minions for their constant betrayal. It made it all too easy to use them for my own ends.Meaningful Name: There's a reason I named myself after our ancestors' most inspirational leader. My combination of intellect, charisma and sheer brute force do him proud.I understand that the name of my initial beast form, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, means \"king of the tyrant lizards\" in your modern human parlance. I quite like the analogy,yes...Narcissist: Of course. After all, the universe belongs under my thumb alone. And unlikea certain second-in-command, I could back up my greatness with victories many times over.Multiple Head Case:Hardly. My Tyrannosaurus head was merely a decoration I used for myown personal amusement.Near-Villain Victory: Ohh, how close have I come to winning, only to have victory snatched from me? KillingPrimal? Undone. KillingOptimus Prime? Undone. Wiping outthe human race and all the Transformers that lay aboardThe Ark? Thwarted. Annihilating all organic life? Please,indulge me with how you believe the outcome turned out.Never My Fault: Nothing is ever my own fault! The Maximals, my traitorous minions, and all organic life ruined everything! EVERYTHING!noteStarscream: Yeah whatever,Bar-GAH!No Name Given: Who was I before I became \"Megatron\"? You will never know. Althoughone serieschose to call me \"Gnashteeth\" andanother\"Galavar.\" Whether either of these were my true self in my past life,I will not reveal. Megatron is the only relevant name I choose. Yeeees.No One Could Survive That!: I was inside a mountain of raw energon in robot mode, as it exploded.Some of the Maximals thought I was dead, but Primal knew better. Indeed I returned again as though nothing happened.Not So Similar: Ravage once thought me as nothing but a pale imitator of the bot who bore the name before me. He found how wrong he was when I accomplished what that Megatron could not.Not-So-Harmless Villain: Those foolish Maximals thought of me as nothing but anegomaniacwith delusions of grandeur. Yet I was the one who brought their forces to their knees many times, and it was I who nearly destroyed time and space, conquered Cybertron, and nearly wiped out humanity. Harmless? I think not. Wouldn't you agree?Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: I certainly think of myself as doing this for the well-being of Cybertron and the Predacon race, but you organics tend to view my mistreatment of my troops and the multiple instances of genocide I committed to prove I only cared about power above all us. Truly your opinion is lacking in my mind. I simply made the universe better; it just so happens all others were ill-suited to handle such a daunting task.Obfuscating Stupidity: Curious as to how my minions have failed to betray me? I simply act as if I know nothing of their plans. All it does is allow me to defeat them at their most vulnerable. Yeeees.Omnicidal Maniac:My decision to destroyThe Arkwith all onboard constitutes as this, though not nearly as much as when my conquest of Cybertron led me to steal the sparks of all its denizens. And all organic life would have perished beneath my heel!One-Winged Angel: My Transmetal II form. Such GLORIOUS POWER!O.O.C. Is Serious Business: A crisis of great distress led me to call for a ceasefire with Primal and his Maximals. Even I have times where it becomes necessaryto work with your foesto achieve victory against a greater threat. Yeeeees.Orcus on His Throne: My conquest of Cybertron was done entirely at the discretion of my Vehicon generals. Only when it came time to face Primal himself did I deal with the matter personally.Our Dragons Are Different: Mergingthe original Megatron's sparkwith my own transformed me into a towering Transmetal II dragon, complete with the strengths and abilities they came with. The power was quite satisfying, but the organic part eventually was too much to deal with.Playing with Fire: Becoming a Transmetal II Dragon gave me this great power. And I used it quite well. Yeeees.Pragmatic Villainy:I didn't initially wish to destroy Prime as he slept in stasis, for there were other ways to conquer Cybertron without resorting to such measures. I ultimately chose to do so anyway. Certainlythe consequences wouldn't have beenthat drastic, yeeessss.And now I am being told that doing so would have led Unicron to consuming the planet without Prime's intervention. So perhaps I was a bit hasty.Purple Is Powerful: Following in the footsteps of my predecessor's faction, my entire paint job is based around this color. And unlike some of the more treacherous members of my crew, my power is ABSOLUTE!Rank Scales with Asskicking: Ever question why no other Predacon has seized command? They never succeeded. And I would never let them. Yeeees.Ret-Gone:My ultimate goal was to do this to the entire Maximal race by executing Optimus Prime where he slept onboardThe Ark, ensuring Decepticon and Predacon domination of Cybertron!.Riddle for the Ages: What occurred between my escape from the Maximals and my conquest of Cybertron? You will never know. At least until someone decides to tell this tale. Or perhaps they would have hada few moronic leaderschose to deny the scribes permission to makereferences to our previous conflict.Right-Hand Cat: The head of my alternate mode made for an excellent companion. At least it never attempted to betray me.Rogue Agent: The Tripredicus Council was, to say the least,disappointedin my actions. And yet they weren't the ones who would take over Cybertron, now were they?Rollerblade Good: My Transmetal evolution gave my alternate form these. A shame that Earth was lacking in some of its more modern amenities; it would have made for a glorious hobby. Yeeees.Sadist: Nothing brings me great pleasure than to watch as Primal and his Maximals suffer beneath my feat. I take such great pleasure in it,at least until such tendencies led to my downfall.Sanity Slippage: Upon absorbingthe spark of my predecessor, my mind lost its grip on reality as I unleashedmy new power on the universe! And then,I took over all of Cybertronand lost it entirely. Such is the price for godhood.Satanic Archetype: Some of you believe me to be no worse thanUnicronin this regard. I find it appropriate, for my powers dwarf that of the harshest of underworlds. Yeeees.She Is the King:No, this is not in employ. Inferno would always refer to me as a \"Queen\", much to my displeasure. \"Royalty\", however, was more acceptable.Shout-Out to Shakespeare: A frequent tendency of mine is to quoteone of the more notable organicson your planet, though not to the extent of that traitor, Dinobot. And yes, I have more of a tolerance of him than all of you combined. So please, attempt to test my patience over this matter, forthese violent delights have violent ends.The One Thing I Don't Hate About You: You organics are all nothing but an annoying nuisance, destined to be squished beneath my heel. But I will confess, at least you haveJobby the Hong\u2014theoneorganic I actually tolerate. He is rather amusing...yeeeeees.The Sociopath: My egotism knows no bounds, I hold no regards for my underlings, and I consider all beneath me. All in testament to my power. Yesssss.Surpassed the Teacher: I was originallyThe Dragonto the Cybertronian gangster Cryotek, who betrayed his own master Deathsaurus and used the resources he stole to start his own criminal empire. He originally planned to betray me when we stole the Golden Disk, but I anticipated this and double-crossedhiminstead, leading to his arrest by the Maximal authorities. As I later told my own minions, treachery requires no mistakes.Surrounded by Idiots: One of the main things that held me back. My underlings were either holding me back with their blundering or the attempts to undermine my authority in some in-vain attempt to overthrow me. If you wonder why I talk out so much, it's because there is nobody else around to have an intelligent conversation with.Taking You with Me: In my first one on one duel with Primal, after we both sustained heavy damage in a mountain of Energon that kept us from entering robot mode, I braved the danger regardless and transformed to kill him with a missile. If I was going to die, I would take him with me!Tank Goodness: This was my alternate mode on Cybertron back when I worked for Cryotek. I wore a discardable suit of transformable armor to increase my firepower and give me a large gun even in my robot mode.The Starscream: I'm sure it must gall theTrope Namerthat I've actually succeeded where he failed. I was originallyThe Dragonto the Cybertronian mob boss Cryotek. He planned to betray me to the Maximal police when we stole the Golden Disk, but I anticipated this and double-crossed him first. After his arrest, I took control of our gang for myself!Tin Tyrant: Not so much at first (that scheming spider Tarantulas once referred to me as such), but upon my evolution into more powerful forms, I fully embodied this. And it was truly the most glorious days of my life-cycle.Took a Level in Cynic: InBeast Machines, I did sport a more sedate, cold attitude, although hints of my old fondness for melodrama bleed through every now and again. Towards the end of the series, I did start to regain my old, hammier persona. Yeeeees.Took a Level in Jerkass: What level was there to take? I was always a villain of excellent tastes. I just so happened to embracemy newfound powersand use them to commit genocide on a planetary scale.TV Genius: I don't consider myself the sociable type. It matters little to me, in spite of my Predacons constantlyattempting to replace me as leader. I hold a far greater dominance over them than they do of me. And Ialwaysremind them of that every time their betrayal inevitably fails. Yeeeees.Underestimating Badassery: Oh, Cybertron. You thought of me as nothing but a petty thief. With my conquest over you, and with time having nearly been unraveled thanks to me, would you agree that it was a mistake?The Unfettered: Truly you expect me to be in shock of what I bear witness to? My plans for all life in the universe are far beyond any comprehension, hence I have no need to be so easily wowed of what I bear witness to.Unskilled, but Strong: One weakness I do unfortunately posses is a lack of proper combat skills. Hence, whenever it comes time to battle against my enemies, I usually rely on strategy and brute force to obtain victory. Rarely has it failed me. Then once I became far more powerful...Yeeeees.Verbal Tic: \"Yeeeees\".The documentation of this was well recorded, I assure you.Vetinari Job Security: Though I am considered abusive and manipulative to my subordinates, I have proven to be the most suitable in leading my nearly-psychotic crew of Predacons. I have proven this to Terrorsaur once by granting the fool command during a crisis... and watching him fail spectacularly. Yeeeeees.Villain Ball: My downfall in theBeast Warswas my inability to avoid gloating about my superiority. But truly when one obtains godhood, you can't help but revel in it, correct? Especially seeing as thatproved to be a minor setback.Villainous Valor: Deliver unto me great difficulty, and I will show you why I bear the name \"Megatron.\" Nothing will stop my plans!Villainous Friendship: There was only one Predacon I valued, for his loyalty if nothing else. That insufferable fire ant,Inferno, for all his faults, was the only one of my troops I could value. That was,until he no longer served his purpose, and met his end at my demise. A shame really, but a god has no need for such weakness in his underlings.Vocal Dissonance:My newly minted counterpartis like me in almost every way...except he sounds like thatangsty bat-creaturePrimal dragged around with him during mygloriousconquest of Cybertron. My creators are truly playing a cruel joke if they makeMEspeak in such a manner.Vocal Evolution: By the time ofmy conquest of Cybertron, I lost much of my jovial nature to become far more serious, and my vocal processor changed to match. Godhood requires no room for such privileges.We Have Reserves: I have no care for the well being of my underlings. So long as they serve their purpose, I will remain content. And should they be destroyed, I will always find more to recruit into my army. Primal's mistake ofjettisoning those stasis podsgave me plenty of possibilities to work with.Welcome Back, Traitor: I am surprisingly willing to forgive treachery among my minions, particularly if theyhave talents that are still of use to me.I'll admit that I spared both Blackarachnia and Quickstrike when I needed troops, and I repeatedly overlooked Tarantulas's indiscretions because of his scientific skills. My patience ends when the treason attempt is too inept to be worth forgiving. As I told Tarantulas, I could suffer his treachery, but not his incompetence!Well-Intentioned Extremist: Though you organics seem to think otherwise, my goal was to change history for the well-being of the Predacons. Under Maximal rule, we were treated as scrap piles. Had I succeeded, it would have been us in charge, treated as rightful rulers of Cybertron! But, my conquest of the planet changed all that. With my power, only one could rule: ME! Yeeeees.Wicked Cultured: Evil though I may be, I am rather fond of the works of Cybertron's great literary works. I often enjoy rereading them in the confines of my hot tub.Would Hit a Girl: Gender is irrelevant if you attempt to betray me. Blackarachnia was not immune to my punishment despite her charms.Xanatos Gambit: When Terrorsaur tried to take over with Rattrap as his lieutenant, after I escaped my capture, I let the fool remain in command when the Maximals attacked. I didn't know if Rattrap had actually switched sides or not so I decided to test itby ordering him to shoot Dinobot. Either he really had defected or I could show the rest of the Predacons that Terrorsaur had let a spy into our ranks. Rattrap did indeed prove to a spy, shooting off Terrorsaur's head, whichgave Dinobot the chance to free himself and knock out one of my teeth. That hurt, but it was no matter, I ensured nobody would follow that fool's lead.You Are What You Hate: Uhhhh... organics. How Iloathethem. And to think, upon mysuccessful conquest of Cybertron, I was stuck in such an unfortunate state. Looking back, perhaps I should have been more grateful, for the Maximals ended up trapping me in a completely organic body! For a time anyway. My newer bodies were much more as I desired.You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: My concern for my soldiers only extends so far as their potential usefulness to me. When their value to me is ended, I care nothing for their fate. Why do you think I sent Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator on a pointless errand to seek out a \"new lair\" when Tarantulas's former laboratory would have served perfectly well? Needless to say, I had no remorse at slagging them with the Nemesis's weapons when I tried to exterminate some of humanity's ancestors.So, you did manage to read my entire page? It would seem I underestimated you. But no matter. Soon, the Beast Wars will be over, and I will have destroyed all of the pathetic Maximals beneath my heel! Now onward my troops... to victory!"} {"text": "\"Uh huh huh huh...heh heh heh heh...\"(Beavis and Butt-Headare not real. They are stupid cartoon people completely made up byMike Judge, whose voice you should be hearing right now. Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models. They are dumb, crude, thoughtless, ugly, sexist, self-destructive fools, but for some reason, the little weinerheads make us laugh. Some of the tropes you see below would cause a real person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, and possibly banned by the admins. To put it another way:Don't Try This at Home.)Some intro rock musicplays amidst an exchange of \"Uh huh huh\" and \"Heh heh heh\" laughter. Cut to a sky-patterned title card that reads, \"BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD in TV TROPES\", in a jagged font. As the intro music comes to a close, we transition to a pair of teenagers seated atop a couch.Hey, Butt-Head, what's \"shelf-demostrating\"?Uh, I think it's, like, where we're able to talk about ourselves and how cool we are, without some fartknocker doing it for us.Whoa, really?! Heh heh. That sounds pretty cool. Um, heh. Hey, how's it go- *SMACK* OW!Shut up, buttmunch. I wanna do the talking. Uh huh huh huh. Do. Uh huh huh huh.Oh, um, okay. Heh heh. Sorry 'bout that.

Heh.Shut up, asswipe! I'm, like, doing all the talking here. Remember?Oh yeah. Heh. Sorry. Heh heh. I forgot. Heh heh.Uhhh, we also watch music videos and other stuff, becauseMTValso got crap likeJersey Shoreon. Uh huh huh. So, like, you can read all these tropes about us and stuff. Uh huh huh, tropes...Heh heh heh heh...tropes.Hey, Beavis, check it out.McDicker did one of these too.Uh huh huh huh.Whoa, really? Heh heh. That's pretty cool! And so doesBuzzcut.Heh heh. Once we're done here, can we, like, \"mantle-ize\" their pages?Yeah, uh huh huh. That would be cool! Uh huh huh huh huh.Come to Butt-Head...uh huh huh:Accidental Hero: Me and Beavis tried to score with this one chick, who said she would do it ifwe got to Washington. That \"unit\" those dudes were looking for, like, dropped in my hand, and the President said me and Beavis were heroes. Uh huh huh, \"unit\".Accidental Misnaming: A lot of dumbasses get our names wrong, huh huh. They call us things like Travis and Bernard, Beaver and Buff-Coat, or Beavis and Nut-Head. And people callus, stupid, huh huh!Air Guitar:DAAAHHH DAAAHHH DAHNAH DAH. DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA, DAAA-NAA DAHHH.All Men Are Perverts: We wanna score, huh huh. And see some thingies.Amazon Chaser: Heh heh, I think that having a chick that could kick your ass would be pretty cool, heh heh. Because thenshe'd go and kick the asses of anyone who tries to piss you off. Heh heh heh heh. That would RULE!Amusing Injuries: Mostly Beavis. Uh huh huh huh. It's pretty cool.Um, what're you talking about, Butt-Head-[slap!] OW!!!Cut it out, butthole!!Back from the Dead: Uh, we, like, died one time and went to Hell, uh huh huh huh huh. It was pretty cool, cause there was, like, crap everywhere and we were on Satan's apartment. But then when we tried digging in deeper to find the demon chicks, some asswipe angel came in and brought us back to life. It sucked.Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: Uh huh huh huh. That phrase is cool. If I ever, like, get me some dudes who'll get me a chick, I'm totally going to say that, huh huh huh. (speaking in aVampire Vordsaccent) Bathe her and bring her to me!Bears Are Bad News: No way! Bears are cool. One time, when we were out in the wood, huh huh, a bear came out and mauled Van Driessen while he was playing his wuss music. It ruled, huh huh huh.Uh, but there was that one time where a bunch of bears broke into our house and stole our nachos, heh heh. That sucked. And when we tried to set a trap to catch them, we, like, got stuck in it with them. That sucked even more!Being Good Sucks: Uh, we, like, once tried to do a good thing when we got a load, huh huh huh, of Spanish Fly off Anderson. We thought we would replace the punch at the school dance with it, which would make everyone horny and make them all wanna score. Huh huh huh huh. Preferably with us.Yeah. And so, like, we started drinking it too. And we drank and we drank and we drank, and we became more and more ready to score, heh heh. But then we just fell asleep! And when we woke up, some asswipe drank all our Spanish Fly and we were in a hospital! We ended up not scoring at all! And no one else did either! It, like, wasn't fair! And nobody appreciated what we did for them anyway! It sucked!Yeah. So we decided we're never doing anything for anyone ever again. If you want to score, you go do it yourself, buttmunch. Don't come asking us for help, 'cause we're not gonna give it, huh huh huh.Berserk Button: Don't call me a buttknocker, heh heh. It really pisses me off! Like this one time where Butt-Head kept calling me a \"buttknocker\", and I had to kick his ass. Call me a buttknocker, and I'll kick your ass! Heh heh.You and what other buttknockers? Huh huh.*WHAM* OOUUUAH! ...Dammit Beavis...Also like, Butt-Head wants to do it with my mom and that pisses me off!Umm, the one thing that probably pisses me off even more than being called a buttknocker is anybody who complains about scoring too much, heheh. One time me and Butt-Head were watching TV and we saw this dude whose girlfriend called him out for ghosting her. When she asked why, the dude said she was always wanting to do it with him and he was sick of it. Dammit, his complaining about scoring too much when some other people have never scored made me so mad I smashed the TV while I was screaming threats at that dumbass. If he'd been there in person, I probably would've killed him, heheheheheheheh!Yeah, and I completely, totally agreed with Beavis, huh huh. Normally I'd have beaten the living crap out of Beavis if he wrecked our TV, but he actually had a good reason for doing it!Bloody Hilarious: There was this one time, where Beavis got a bloody nose and he bled all over and stuff. And then there was that time he sawed off his finger in woodshop. Uh huh huh, \"wood\".Body Motifs: Uh, I have a body motif alright, uh huh huh huh huh. Or rather, I have abuttmotif. Huh huh huh huh huh! Butts are cool.Book Dumb: Uh, books suck. Huh huh huh huh. And you're a dork if you read them. Me and Beavis don't need to because we're, like, already really smart or something. At least,Iam, huh huh huh.Hey, Butt-Head, didn't we write a few books in the '90s?Uh, yeah. But our books were cool. They were about things like chicks and aliens and thingies and how to make movies in Hollywood and stuff. Not like the crap they make you read in school, huh huh huh huh.Borrowed Catchphrase: Uh, I can like, say some of the lines Beavis says, huh huh huh. Check it out: boi-yoi-yoi-yoi-yoing.Heh heh, you still can't do that too good Butt-Head. Don't try it. Heh heh heh.Buffy Speak: We, like, have a lot of words and stuff, for, uh, other stuff. Like \"thingies\". Uh huh huh.Burger Fool: Sometimes, we have to work at Burger World because that manager dude makes us. But then we get to melt stuff on the grill, huh huh. We also tried to getworker's constipationonce, but kicking Beavis's ass didn't work.Butt-Monkey: So, me and Beavis have gotten our asses kicked, sometimes. But he's more of a butt monkey than me. And an ass goblin. And a buttmunch. And a...Buxom Beauty Standard: Uh huh huh huh huh. Chicks with big thingies rule! The bigger, the better I always say, huh huh huh huh.Casanova Wannabe: Hey, baby. Uh huh huh. Do you, like, wanna get it on? Uh huh huh.Heh heh, hey, how's it going? Heh heh heh.Catchphrase: Me and Beavis have a lot of these, because we're so cool. ThatMike Judgedude didn't get how \"This sucks\" could be one of these, but that's just because he's not very cool.What do you mean, he's not cool? Heh heh. I mean, like, he came up with us!Uh... oh yeah! Uh huh huh huh.Cheek Copy: I tried to copy my butt one time, and my butt broke the glass. I was stuck, which sucked, because I didn't want to lose my butt! Heh heh. I eventually got out and they put stitches in my butt. I wanted to see what they looked like,so I tried to copy my butt...Well, maybe if you weren't a dumbass, you wouldn't break the glass, Beavis, uh huh huh. Uh, would you like a copy of my butt?Cheated Angle: Heh heh, I'm, like, always shown from the side and stuff. For some reason, I just rarely get seen from head-on. It's, like, really weird or something, heh heh.Chick Magnet/Kavorka Man: This one time, when a bunch of people wrote letters to Santa Butt-Head, all these chicks totally wanted to do it with me! Heh heh! But Butt-Head wouldn't give me those letters! Heh heh. I would have scored, if he wasn't a dillhole.Collector of the Strange: Heh heh heh, I like to collect my turds and keep them in jars in the basement. Heh heh heh.You're disgusting, Beavis.Determinator: I wanna make a lot of money and score. And I'm not stopping until I do both. A lot. Huh huh.Heh heh, yeah, me too! Heh heh.The Dividual: A lot of people wonder if we're, like, brothers or cousins or something, uh huh huh. They say we have a lot in...uh...\"come on\", huh huh.Diarrheaeven asked us if we had the same Dad. We said that maybe we did, huh huh.The Dog Bites Back: Heh heh, sometimes Butt-Head says something that really pisses me off! So I kick him in the nads! Heh heh. Like this!*WHAM* OOUUUAH! ...Cut it out, buttmunch.Dope Slap: I, like, have to give these to Beavis, when he starts acting like a dumbass. Which is, like, all the time, huh huh.Shut up, bunghole! I do not- *SMACK* AAH! *SMACK* *SMACK* *SMACK* OW! WHOA! Heh heh. Um, what was I talking about?Drives Like Crazy: Uh huh huh huh, I drive like a badass! Uh huh huh huh. There was, like, this one time at driver's ed where I made Buzzcut soil himself with my driving. Uh huh huh huh. That was cool.Yeah, heh! And we killed him too. Heh heh!He didn't die, dumbass. He was, like, un-continuous. But there was blood. Huh huh huh. That kicked ass!Dumb Blonde: Huh huh, yeah, that's Beavis alright. He's blonde. And really stupid, huh huh huh huh. Unlike me.Everybody Hates Mathematics: Yeah, really. Math sucks.Heh heh, yeah. I really hate numbers. There's, like, too many of them and stuff, heh heh heh.Everyone Has Standards: Uh, it's like, we once saw this video with naked chicks and stuff in it at school, huh huh huh huh. And it was pretty cool. But, uh, then it had this one part that showed a chick giving birth. It was disgusting.Yeah, yeah, really. I couldn't get a stiffy for a week after seeing that, heh heh heh.Uh, we were hesitant to ask thatSamara chickout, huh huh huh.Yeah, yeah, we didn't our nads to shrivel up or explode or something like that, heh heh heh.One time, Beavis told me he keeps his turds in jars in the basement instead of like, flushing them down the toilet, huh huh huh. And I told him that's disgusting and stuff.Yeah, heh heh, it is pretty disgusting.Y'know, heh. If there's one thing that like,reallypisses me off, it'scomplaining abouthavingtoo muchsex! Yeah! Heh heh heh. I mean some of us, y'know like me, don't haveanysex! Ever! I don't know what number multiple is, but it's better than zero! Y'know there's...starving kids in poor countries,and they probably get to score, butIdon't! Heh heh.For onceI'm not gonna say settle down, Beavis, you're absolutely right. Uh huh huh huh.Faking the Dead: Heh heh, like one time, we decided to stop going to school and like, nobody made us go. Heh heh heh heh. And when they called, we said we were dead. It worked too, because we still didn't go to school!Farts on Fire: Uh huh huh huh, this one time, Beavis was about to cut the cheese, huh huh huh huh, and then he, huh huh huh huh huh. He, huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh...well, you had to be there,but it was pretty cool.No it wasn't, Butt-Head. It really hurt and I had to go to the hospital to save my butt. And I ended up farting fire. Heh heh heh heh heh, yeah, fire, FIRE! Heh heh heh heh heh!\"Freaky Friday\" Flip: Uhh, this one time, we got our asses kicked in a store, and that caused us to switch bodies and stuff. I became Beavis, huh huh huh huh.Heh heh, yeah. And I became Butt-Head.Huh huh, yeah. But then Beavis started pissing me off, so I kicked his ass. By, uh, kicking my ass which was really his ass, huh huh huh. I even hit myself in the nads to make sure he's never gonna score, huh huh huh huh.Shut up, Butt-Head!Full-Name Basis: Uh, it's like, my first name is Butt and my second name is Head. And you're gonna call me by my full name or else I'm gonna go over to your house and kick your ass, huh huh huh.Genius Ditz: Some people think that we're actually really smart and stuff, because me and Butt-Head watch music videos and talk about them. It's, like, we just know what sucks and what doesn't suck.Gonk: Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a stud, huh huh. But this probably explains why Beavis looks so stupid.Shut up, fartknocker! I look cool! Heh heh.Girl on Girl Is Hot: Huh huh huh huh. Sespians are cool. When I see two girls kissing, it gives me a special feeling, huh huh huh huh.Heh heh, yeah, me too! It kinda, heh heh, makes me wanna make a stool, heh heh heh. (higher pitch) Poop!Dammit, Beavis, what the hell is wrong with you?Gratuitous Spanish: Uh, burritos? Huh huh huh. Uh...guacamole!Um...spaghetti!That's Italian, dumbass!Heh heh, oh yeah.Groin Attack: Sometimes Butt-Head really pisses me off, like this one time he kept smacking me for liking this oneBon Jovivideo, and I kicked him right in the nads! Heh heh. That was cool.Um, oh yeah, I did again when he saidI wasn't a firework. Heh heh, I'm an M80.Guttural Growler: Heh, I met this guy who looked like Butt-Head but wasn't Butt-Head, and he said that I had a \"scratchy rock and roll voice.\" Heh heh heh, scratch. I guess that would be pretty cool if I did, 'cause then I could be in Pantera! Heh heh, that would RULE!Hates Being Touched: AHH, don't touch me! I'll kick your ass! Heh heh heh heh. Unless you're a chick. Then we can like, heh heh heh, you know, do it.Heh Heh, You Said \"X\": Uh, we, like,named this tropeand stuff. We're smart.Except for like, this one time they said Snooki liked hot salami and it it wasn't that funny. Like, they were just trying too hard or something.His Name Really Is \"Barkeep\": My name really is Butt-Head, not Buford or any of those other wussy names some of you dorks come up with for me! Just use my real name, or I'll, like, come out of your computer and kick your ass!Horrible Judge of Character: Todd's pretty cool. I mean, he kicks our asses, sometimes. But that's just because he's really cool, huh huh.People say Stewart's this cause he like, thinks we're his friends and wants to hang out but he's a dork and we just go over to watch his TV. And look at his hot mom.Hospital Epilogue: Sometimes we end up in the, uh, \"hostipal\" because of the cool things we do, huh huh. Like when me and Beavis were trying to imitate that Ben Franklin dude and got electrocuted, or when Beavis burned his ass and started farting fire. That was cool!No, Butt-Head, that sucked! The coolest thing we did was when we tried to become werewolves so we could get chicks like thatEdward Cullen dude, heh heh.

I mean, I'm the guy who sung some of your favourite songs. You know, \"You Love Me, I Love Me More\", \"Where Have I Been (All Your Life)?\", \"Bromazing\", \"P.S. I Love Me\", you know, all the classics. I was on top of the world back when I was alive... oh, yeah, that's kind of something else I probably should have mentioned.Yeah, I kind of... died young. Real young. Like, I probably didn't even get any grey hairs yet young (not that that's a bad thing, though I totally could've rocked the look). You can probably assume I wasn't done living on Earth yet, so I decided to stick around my old place.And here's something else, I wasn't lonely for very long. See, I left my place to my cuz, Jane Wright. So she decided to move in, bring the fam along even. That's how I ended up meeting my best bro, my cousin's kid, Spencer Wright. He managed to make my guitar pick into a necklace, and from there, it allowed him to be able to see and hear me. We've been buds ever since. And I am gonna stick by my bro no matter what, against bullies, adversaries, and whatever else my old town throws his way.But enough about me, let's talk about my tropes:Ambiguously Jewish: What? Why is this trope here? Does this have anything to do withmy real name, Baruch Cohen?Crossdresser: Yeah, sometimes I'll dress up as a cheerleader, one time a mermaid.Ectoplasm: Yeah, I can make it, being a ghost, and that stuff can do all sorts of crazy things. Spencer doesn't like me using it, though. Not too cool on the side effects.Attention Whore: What can I say? I was meant to be in the spotlight.Berserk Button: While I'm normally a pretty chill bro-ski, if you insult me or my songs, you're gonna regret it.Ghostly Advisor: My new role in death. I'm gonna help Spencer navigate the ins and outs of my old hood to help him succeed as a film director.Invisible to Normals: Yeah, thing about ghosts in my world is that they're only visible to folks who're wearing my clothes.It's All About Me: As it should be. Really, why should it ever not be about me at all times?Stage Name:Okay, yeah, that's true. My real name is Baruch Cohen.Voluntary Shapeshifting: Yeah, I gained the ability to do this after becoming a ghost."} {"text": "I'm BoJack the horse, man. Don't act like you don't know.Click here to see how I look now\"Well, that was another in a long series of regrettable life choices.\"\u2014From the mouth of the Great Equine Fuck-Up(Best read inWill Arnett's voice.)Well, it's about time I got some recognition around here. Wait,where is here? Never mind, it must be a very fancy place to take on someone like me. Quick question: what's the snack situation in this joint? I mean,I'm not really picky, but I really hope there's some decent catering. Seriously, if there'shoneydew, I'm out the door. Wait, why is a lonely dweeb writing what I'm saying? So it's an interview? For what, I wonder. I mean, everybody knows who I am. Household name here. Just say it. What? Explain it? WHY? No, I mean, seriously, it's me, BoJack Horseman, the Horse fromHorsin' Around. C'mon, don't act like you don't know. (sighs) Well, I guess I'll have to. Princess Carolyn should get me better gigs than this. I'll give her a call. At least Mr. Peanutbutter will never have one of these.noteAnd now,he has one.(beat)AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.Well, let's start: My name is BoJack F. HorsemannoteGood luck finding outwhat the \"F\" stands for. For me, it'sFucking, because that's just how I am. Woah, you can say fuck here? Thank you, it's been a while since I've heard the word without wanting to cut my veins, son of Beatrice Horseman (n\u00e9e Sugarman) and Butterscotch Horseman. I didn't have the best childhood, but through some very lucky breaks and moving to L.A., yours truly found himself serving drinks and doing stand-up inThe Laughing Shackwith my best friend and mentornote(sigh)Herb Kazzaz and his girlfriend and anotherdeerfriend of minenoteI need a drink. Do you have scotch here?Charlotte Moore. Herb managed to pitch a show to some drunk network executives. A little sitcom calledHorsin' Around. Together, we were the happiest patch-up family sinceThe Munsters. And then, we weren't. You know, I really don't want to talk about this anymore. If you really want to know, you can watch my show, it's onNetflix. Right now, I've had a few hits in my stablenoteGet it? Mmmh, am I using too many notes?:Secretariat, the famous biopic where I play the title character (and my personal hero) and currently I'm playing Philbert in the new WhatTimeIsItRightNow's original series,PhilbertnoteWhat do you mean it's cancelled? What...? Oh. Did I...? Oh, no....If you want to find me, I'm usually at my house by the cliffside or hanging out with my best friend Diane Nguyen, for whom I've always had platonic feelings and nothing else, ok? If you can't reach me and it's for a movie offer, contact Princess Carolyn at VIM Agencies.She's always happy to receive offers for me.On second thought, if you're sending me any offers, it looks like you're going to have to forward them to the Los Angeles Supermax Prison for a while.Anyway, in case you are looking for a star, here's a short portfolio of my work in Film and TV.TV:Horsin' Around(1987-1996):The Horse.The BoJack Horseman Showformerly known asMitch's Life(2007):Myself. Also wrote the pilot episode.F.H.B.A.noteStands for Felicity Huffman's Booty Academy. Ugh, if only I would have known the initials(2017):Guest Judge.Philbert(2018):Philbert.Birthday Dad(2020): Dead Body #4FILM:Secretariat(2015):Secretariat.The Horny Unicorn(2020): The Horny UnicornI also was invited to guest-star on Mr. Peanutbutter's game showHollywoo Stars and Celebrities. What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out!First-ever episode, actually. So no big deal or anything.All good? Oh, you're not looking for someone right now? Well, no biggie. I'll....just....leave you this....heeeeeeereeeee. Right here. In case you change your mind.Note: If you are gonna read this page (and you will, probably. Let's face it, if you're reading about me, you're a fan of mine), read it with the voice of the one and onlyWill Arnett. Of course, that is if you haven't done so already. Everybody saysit's impossible to read somethingI say in other than the voice ofGOB Bluth. He has a really deep, sexy voice.Oh and for some reason they want me to promoteMr Peanutbutter's page.Back in TV Tropes, I had these famous character traits....'80s Hair: What? It was the rage back in the day! Although it's a sign of pretentious douchebags now, so there's that. But still, forH.A.'s entire run, my mullet rocked.Abstract Apotheosis: As far as the internet is concerned, I am the \"sad horse\". Wanna hear a better one? Some critics (yuck!) have even commented on their reviews ofBoJackthatI'm defined by my depression. Let's see what else...Oh! I'mthe \"broken heart\" of the series. Hahahahahahaha...ha... Let's move on.Abusive Parents: Crappy childhoods really make the star, huh? My mother, Beatrice, was a cruel woman who was never pleased with anything I did and hated the fact I existed. You could blame my grandfather (may he roast in Hell for all I care) for creating the problems for both of us. My father, Butterscotch, well...he would berate me and all, but I don't really remember him being present in my life as I grew up. I always saw them fighting and well, for better or worse, that made us a family: the knowledge that our grudges, resentments and broken dreams bound us together.This cause me to have an internalized self-hatred of horses, so thanks a lot, you two massive assholes.Adventure Duo: Me and Diane when we work together. We're like the dynamic duo, only way better. Sure, most of the time we get our hopes dashed by reality. But until then, we enjoy the ride.Affectionate Nickname: Herb used to call me \"BJ\" when we were still young and idealistic.The Alcoholic: It's not a problem(for the most part). Horses process alcohol at a slower pace, so it usually takes a lot of booze to get me plastered. It speaks by itself that be it at a party, a wedding or just a stop at Bellican's, I usually end upbeyond plastered.Always a Bigger Fish: No matter what I do, I'll never be as famous as I want to. Bigger stars always beat me to the spot.Ambiguous Disorder: Depression, of course. Does that count?Beyond that, something calledNarcissisticPersonality Disorder. Other pseudo-psychiatrists (even worse than normal ones) have said it's Histrionic or Dependent Personality Disorder. Make up your mind! See, this is why I don't trust those quacks.Ambiguously Bi: What the hay...I'm not bi! You say a few things and everyone goesRule 34on younoteAndJapan decides to join in.. But, still, I guess some comments may have been taken the wrong way. I hope.It's not my fault stuff gets stuck in my butt. Ana and PC should be more careful where they leave their things. Although I don't mind it as foreplay. Just heads up, that's all I'm asking.When my friend Herb was outed as gay duringH.A.'s fifth season, he came to my dressing room to ask me for support since the studio was being pressured to fire him (Aah,The '90s). I wasn't disgusted by his gayness or anything, but I was very afraid of coming out...AND SUPPORTING HIM, OK? THAT'S IT! Still, he was my friend and he got me started in the business, so I decided to do it. As he was leaving, I couldn't help it and I, you know, asked him about the \"party trains\" they normally did. They sounded like fun, right? Who doesn't like a good, hard party? That was it, nothing serious. He just looked weird at me, so I simply shrugged it off as cool as I could muster.Then, there was the time when I guest-starred inHollywoo Stars And Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out!, hosted by my frenemy, Mr. Peanutbutter and I\u2014I kissed himnoteMr. Peanutbutter: Hey, BoJack! What's this place? You were talking about me?BoJack: (sighs) Heeeeeyyyyy, Mr. Peanubutter! No, we weren't. Now go away.The audience was pressuring me and I really didn't want to do it. People have come and said to me that I didn't put a big fight, but I just wanted to bury the hatchet (or the bone? No, no, no, the hatchet! The hatchet!), so I decided to get it over with. At least, he was tender and his hand on my crest was soothing.noteMr. Peanutbutter: You know? I didn't mind it that much. You kiss really good.BoJack: Get out of here! This is my...really?Mr. Peanutbutter: Yeah. I even said it to the show's audience. Stern, but supple, remember? Besides, it was to get even for kissing Diane. She was my wife at the time, remember? Nobody kisses my wife!BoJack: ....We'll never talk about this again. And she's your ex-wife.After returning to Hollywoo after a year or so, I lost my mother's baby doll and tried to get in contact with Diane to help me find it. Thing is, I arrived at her house completely shit-faced and because of that, PB offered to \"take me home\" like Eddie Money. Besides being an asinine analogy, I wasn't going to \"go home with [him]\". Maybe 'cause I was drunk, but for some reason, I added that if we were going together, I'd get to play \"Eddie Money\" in the scenario. I guess I don't like being called \"easy\" while drunk?(shrugs)noteMr. Peanutbutter: Oh, so that's what the song means! I never knew.BoJack: Seriously? You've probably heard it several times in a row and just now you're finding that out?Mr. Peanutbutter: Well, I had never really paid attention to the lyrics.BoJack: Whatever, just don't ever say something dumb like that ever again. By which I mean don't speak again.Mr. Peanutbutter: By the way, BoJack, didn't you say you wouldn't talk about \"us\" moments ever again?BoJack:...I hate you.Amicable Exes:Depends on how charitable and tolerant PC is feeling about me and my screw-ups, which is not very often. Still, she's my agent, we know each other too well and we go way back. Not even a nasty (professional) break-up could keep us apart for too long, so when we're good, we're the best.notePrincess Carolyn: Hey, dummy, I got your message. You better be good during the writing of your Self-Demonstrating Page, 'cause I may have something big for you and you'll lose it if you act like Mr. Jackass. It'll be good, just behave.BoJack: Last time I leave a voicemail.Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain: I kinda toe the line. It's true I'm not the innocent foal I used to be and I have a laundry list of dirty deeds, betrayals and overall shitty things I'll never right with anybody. But still, I'm not that bad; it's just a matter of starting to prove it.Attention Whore: I am famous and don't ever pretend otherwise.Badflank and Baby Seahorse Duo: Really,badflank?Aren't you allowed to say ass here? Anyway, there was a little seahorse who got lost outside Pacific Ocean City and I was around, so I helped him.It was quick and had no emotional impact on me.Bastard Angst: Let's just say my parents didn't expect me. I was doing good by myself, but they had so much hatred to share and I felt bad for having caused them such grief. Like it was my fault.Still, it helped me guide Hollyhock through the process, so it wasn't all bad.Became Their Own Antithesis: Too late to point that out, man. Back inThe '90s, I was in a very famous TV show. Young, energetic, idealistic and like an open book. Now, whenever people see me, they can't help but point out how old, grumpy and tired I look. This was especially notable when I reunited with Herb (it didn't go over so well) and Charlotte. They looked older and just as tired, but they still looked at me like I wasn't the same guy from back in the day, like I had \"changed\". They were right.Beneath the Mask: I may not look like Mr. Sunshine, but trust me: most of my grumpiness and good social skills? Comes from much lesser pain than the one I hide and keep inside of me every day. Although there arethose who believeI shouldn't use that as an excuse. They're probably right.Berserk Button: Okay, are you ready for the trivia? These are the top things you never do unless you want topiss me off.Don't say anything good about Mr. Peanutbutter.noteMr. Peanutbutter: So where would they say it? Funnily enough, I can't find my Twitter account.BoJack: I don't care, just don't. Also, never use my account again. I've changed my password.Never pretend honeydew is anything other than garbage fruitnoteSeriously, Netflix, never again.I'm not a has-been. I've had plenty of hits sinceHorsin' Aroundfinished.H. A.doesn't suck. ONLY I GET TO SAY IT SUCKED!! ME!!noteAna: BoJack, I just passed here because I remember something very different...BoJack: (gulps) How come you still got the key to my apartment?Big Brother Instinct:I could have left Hollyhock to go door-to-door, looking for her mother in such a big city like L.A., but much to my chagrin, I dragged through asking around until I found her, even if it meant getting the stink eye of every scattered ex I've had.Big Brother Mentor: Look, I'm all about being seen as a role model as the rest, but I know better. This life isn't what it's cracked up to be. Still, whatever little knowledge I've got, I try to pass it on...as bluntly as possible.Taneisha shouldn't have listened to me the first time. It's not often that the father's bride asks you to talk with her daughter. Seriously, that's their job, why would you put that on me? Fair enough, I was a celebrity. Taneisha didn't know if Karen \"completed\" her, so there goes the heartwarming speech I'd prepare.(neighs in frustration)In short, I said her options were to settle with someone who likes at least half of what she does or live the rest of her life alone. She just can't get picky or she'd end up like me. Nailed it. Too bad the speech bummed me out because then I made an even bigger mistake with Todd's friend Emily.Hollyhock knows better than listening to me, which I appreciate since I can't walk through eggshells every time we talk. She's young and I'm old, so she's still naive about a few life facts, which leaves me with the task of educating her about it.Big Eater: Fine, I have no self-control,is that what you want to hear?!This is what happens when you combine the literal appetite of a horse with an inner void that has to be filled with attention, food, and sex!Born Unlucky: Would you believe me if I told you I've got a bad track when it comes to luck?noteWhat do you mean you do?Broken Pedestal: Surprisingly no, even after my childhood hero Secretariats dirty secrets were revealed and he killed himself, I never lost my admiration for him. If anything I find him more relatable now as an adult than I did as a child.Butt-Monkey: A bit. Maybe. Who am I kidding? It'd be easier for me to just rename myself a walking disaster area. I come from poison and I can be poison, so why wouldn't poison be around the same?Byronic Hero: Pfffft...as if. Just because I follow the archetypical mold (brooding, passionate about things the society I live in don't care too much about, rebellious, impeccable wit), I fail in one aspect: I'm not that self-centered. I think. Honestly, most of the BH I know are villa...oh, BH. Yeah, the \"not a good person\" argument. Shit. Hold on, there's another trait: \"broken\". See? I have my flaws, but I hold together pretty well.No deep issues here, I tell you.Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: What, you meanbesidesmy insistence that my life works like a sitcom? Well, there was that one timeI got so hopped up on painkillers that the lines between BoJack Horseman and Detective Philbert blurred like my own vision. Gina thought I was just \"taking the character home\" with me. Jesus, I wish she was right...Cannot Tell a Joke: Hey, I resent that! Okay, fine, I'll admit my standup days weren't the highest point of my career, but hey, the material was fine, I just had problems with the delivery. And the tempo. And maybe I shouldn't have kept asking the audience if they \"got it\". Cut me some slack, literally, the only positive reinforcement I'd ever gotten at that point in my life was people laughing at some of my jokes in school, I think I can be forgiven for being a little desperate.Cynical Mentor: I'd prefer to see it as being honest. After all, why would anyone ask for my help if they aren't desperate? It's better this way, they'll learn some harsh truths and realize what a shitty world they've been dropped into, hopefully leading them to appreciate how good they got it. To have someone to love, someone who loves you, family, friends, lovers...Dammit, why can't it be me?Darkest Hour: *whistles* I know I said I don't believe in rock bottom, because there's always a rockier bottom underneath, but I find it hard to think it could get any worse than this.I lost my job, my house, my money, Hollyhock disowned me, I'm the pariah of Hollywoo, I fell off the wagon, had to sell off my rights to Horsin Around just so they can re-release the series with all my scenes cut out, almost drowned in my old pool, and finally, I got 14 months in prison. Ironically, prison is the least horrible part of it all. At least in here, staying sober and stable is easy.Deadpan Snarker: I'm assuming thee is the one they call \"Captain Obvious\". Just when I thought something so useless couldn't be a superpower. Snarker...No kidding! You've been reading this page so far and you haven't noticed how much of a smartass I am, that's more on you than me. Still, I guess I'm kind of snarky, right? It's a family curse, sorry, although somehow I managed to make this trait funny in contrast with my mum and dad who could only make it cruel and you know you love me for it.Death Seeker/Mortality Phobia: Yeah, somehow you can get both of these, who knew? On one hand, I engage in incredibly toxic and self-destructive behavior as a response to my godawful childhood and terrible life in general, on the other, the thought of actually dying is so damn terrifying...As my friend Herb may or may not have said, \"There is no other side. This is it\"Desperately Craves Affection: Not that I know what to do with it even when I get it...Does Not Like Spam: Seriously, what is WITH this damn town and honeydew melon?! Whoever looked at a fruit cup and went \"hmmm, this needs more honeydew\"? It's a garbage fruit for garbage people!Though after actually trying some at PC's wedding, I actually kind of liked it.Doom Magnet: As you can guess with the trope mentioned below (No not the funeral one, why would I-), no matterwhatI do, the ones I love always seem to suffer. Like I said earlier, it'd be easier to rename myself a walking disaster area.The \"Fun\" in \"Funeral\": Oh please, don't pretend you all haven't delivered a harsh and heartfelt eulogy at your mother's funeral, only to realize you were in the wrong funeral parlor! Maybe the audience consisting entirely of geckos should have tipped me off.Hero with an F in Good: Look, it's not my fault, okay? It's that every time I try to be nice, somebody ends up making things even worse!Hell the one time, I literally didn't give in to my impulse to drink due to a bad situation, it somehow led to Doctor Champ's life being ruined.Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Yeah, no. It wasn't \"hilarious.\" My conniving, self-centered mother couldn't even bring herself to admit she made any mistakes raising me in a household where the volume was always turned all the way up. I mean, hey, I broke theCycle of Revenge, what more do you want from me?Hollywood Pudgy:Are you calling me fat?!Just go ahead, say it, I'm fat! *sighs* Alright, if I'm honest, I'm in okay shape considering I'm a middle-aged alcoholic, but since I actually do live in Hollywood, surrounded by borderline anorexics who all look like they're near death most of the time, it does make me look fatter.Important Haircut: I'm almost 60 for god's sake, you really think I still have naturally black hair? I've been dying it for years. I finally decided to stop when I reunited with Sharona, who had been the hairdresser and makeup artist on Horsin' Around until... well, you can probably guess it was another selfish and stupid act on my part. She convinced me to cut my hair and wash out the dye, and... hm. It doesn't look too bad. More fitting my age, you know?Interrupted Suicide: It wasn't... look after Sarah Lynn died, it was rock bottom for me, alright? I'd screwed things up with Todd, Anna left me becauseSecretariatwasn't an Oscar nominee, then there's what happened in New Mexico. I wasn't going to... I mean, I just let go of the steering wheel, and let things happen as they might, but... well, then I saw that flock of wild horses running around, and I felt I had to stop.One timebeforeSarah Lynn died, I drove my Tesla into the pool and expected to drown. Unfortunately, this was all ruined by grrr...Mr. Peanutbutter. Thanks a lot, asshole.Wow, and I thought I was at rock bottom before. At least this time I can blame falling off the wagon for almost drowning in my pool...Jackass: C'mon, it's not that bad. A little selfishness here, a little rudeness there and too short of a fuse at times. That's all. Sometimes, it's people projecting how much their lives suck because of me...wait, that came out wrong, I meant...Jackass with a Heart of Gold: Hey, watch your mouth! I don't see it when it happens but according to others, I can be a genuine pain in the ass (or flank): rude, obnoxious, cowardly, snarky, arrogant and too full of myself. Even with all of that, I can act like a good person when I feel like it.Jackass with A Heart (and Look) of Jackass: You're seriously pushing my buttons with this word. Although, it'd be easier to count the times some (okay, okay, most) of the good I've done has been \"Old Yeller\"-ed while running for its life because of my persistent selfishness, insecurity, and impulsiveness.Can we at least count the times I've been trying toget the fuck out ofdoing this?In Touch with His Feminine Side: Not to the extent of YellowSnitterover there. After all, there must be a reason why my best (fully clothed) relationships are with women. Which is not the same as saying they're functional or healthy, but c'mon: Diane? Hollyhock? Princess Carolyn? Compare them to my relationship with Mr. Peanutbutter and Todd, if you can call that a relationship. And it's not like I know how to handle or understand it, much less claim to speak for others. This might be why I thought it'd be a good thing that I became a feminist icon. Big mistake.Lies to Children: Come on, Todd doesn't count, he's just aManchild, not a literal child! Oh, uh, unless you mean some of my interactions with Hollyhock? Fine, but in my defense, I confessed to her WAY faster than to most people I've lied to.Master Actor: Well, I don't mean to brag but let's say my experience onHorsin' Arounddidn't translate very well to media not focused on sitcom shenanigans. It'd be nicer if I could channel my acting skills without being on the edge of a nervous breakdown, though.My Greatest Failure: Uh... oh, God. There's a lot to pick from.Probably turning my back on my friend Herb onHorsin' Around. Or maybe when I went to New Mexico and almost slept with that teenage girl. No wait, it was letting Sarah Lynn die, especially when I didn't call for help right away. And then there was that time I sent a rehab doctor back on the sauce, which threatened his marriage with his husband. Ooh, but then there was...You know what, I'm done talking about this. Forget it.Near-Death Experience:It was... somehow both terrifying and pleasant. I mean, I did almost die, but I did get to see Herb again. And Sarah Lynn. And Zach Braff for some reason. I honestly forgot he was dead too. I don't know if it was just a dream, or if I really did see them all again, but... Well, I came back to life, so I guess I won't know for sure just yet.Only Sane Man: I'll admit I have my own hangups and obsessions, but have you ever actually been toHollywoo? With the exception of Diane, sometimes I feel like I'm the only person here with even a basic level of common sense. Even Princess Carolyn, for all her normal competence, dated a guy who wasclearlyjust three kids in a trenchcoat for god knows how long. To this day, I don't think she ever figured it out.Older Than They Look: Sure, I'm not quite the handsome devil I was in the '80s and '90s, but before I let my mane go back to its natural grey, would you have believed I was pushing 60?Phrase Catcher: *groan* Yes, for the final goddamn time, Iamthe Horse fromHorsin' Around!Though to be fair, I don't get asked that much anymore. Not since the edited version got released. So many years of my life, and what do I have to show for it?Platonic Life-Partners: There hasn't been any woman I've loved the way I love Diane. Ok, maybe PC, but that's another deal. I don't know if it could be classified asjust \"platonic\", but we're like mirrors: one cool, one dorky. We talk alike, we understand each other and we help any way we can.Precision F-Strike: Usually, I'll only hear someone actually say the word \"fuck\" to me if they're cutting me out of their life forever.Let's see... I've had \"Get the fuck out of my house,\" \"I will fucking kill you,\" \"Fuck, man, what else is there to say,\" \"What the fuck is wrong with you...\" I'd rather not get into the specifics of those right now, though. Or ever.I tried to get in a \"Fuck you, Mom\" myself, but that didn't really pan out how I wanted it to. Story of my life.Really Gets Around: In the 90's, my penis was like sun-dried tomatoes, it got intoeverything!It... made looking for Hollyhock's potential birth mother a real pain in the ass. And completely pointless, as it turns outRiches to Rags:The 5 million dollar settlement to Sarah Lynn's parents stung a bit, but getting sued for 100 million by the Xerox Corporation for accidentally associating myself with them wrung me dry, so right now, I'm broke, homeless, and crashing on Mr. Peanutbutters couch. Or I will, once my jail term is up. Well, at least it's rent-free... But, well, there is a \"but\". The whole controversy surrounding my trial was, according to people in the movie business,really great advertisementfor thatHorny Unicornflick I made before going to jail, and it is poised to be a breakthrough hit that willrevive my career, so apparently it is just a matter of short time before I'm back in the green... If I can be candid with you, that thought actually kind of worries me for once...Small Name, Big Ego:Hey!I'll have you know my ego is exactly as big as befits a huge star like me! It's not my fault everyone is jealous of myHorsin' Aroundfame!Surrounded by Idiots: Again,it's Hollywoo, I don't know if this town just attracts morons or if you get dumber just by living here. *sigh* Well, considering my track record, it's probably both...Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist:Well, it's not that simple. Here's how it goes: I am an egocentric has-been (except not, I'm still relevant! See?) with a huge ego (Huge? One suggests having aHorsin' AroundHorse Holiday once and people just blow it off proportions), entitlement issues (by the way, is this job paid? I know I'm doing it still, but I'd like to know so I can go. Kirkland snacks, bad reception, non-famous reading about me...seriously, the only good thing os far is me giving a monologue) and a tendency to treat my friends horribly (Huh, forgot my Tic-Tacs. Must be in the car...Oh, right. PB is probably in the passenger seat, locked. Forgot to slide the window down. Took the key, too. Meh, it's probably nothing), but I have my better moments and whenever I suffer, it's not exactly a happy occasion because I usually end up beating myself about it, which leads to bigger problems. Also, my general unhappiness with my life and relatable troubled personality often drains unpleasant thoughts and draws support from you, my fans.Villain Protagonist: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it there! I'm not a villain...well, I don't think I am. I have made my fair share of misdemeanors, but villain? I mean,I have (reluctantly) betrayed my best friend, hooked with one of my child co-stars's mother (which, apparently led to a divorce. Can't remember her face, though) committedMonumental Damageto impress a woman in a relationship, sabotaged a friend's dream to keep him around, almost slept with an old flame's daughter because of the resemblance, helped obliterate another cast member's weak resolve for sobriety which lead to her death and almost strangled a co-star during a drug binge.But I'm...I'm...I...........I.......I caused all of this. (beat) Maybe I'm not as likable as I could be. Not as good. But...but I-I'm not a bad guy. I-I-I...I try not to be. Some of the time. I...I could make a bigger effort, I guess. I'll make a bigger effort, I promise.What Could Have Been: I never really got over Charlotte, and often wondered what might have happened if I had taken her up on her invitation and went to Maine with her. I always liked to imagine her living in a cabin by a lake up there, and if I had gone with her... well... Of course, I eventually found out that she was only in Maine for a month, then moved to New Mexico, got married, had kids, the whole nine yards. I really shouldn't have been surprised.White Sheep: Before anyone asks, it's a metaphor. And I am willing to concede that sounds absurd to describe me as such (Especially coming from my mouth) but considering my father, my mother, and somehow even worse grandfather Joseph, I'm technically this by comparison. The trueWhite Sheep(again metaphorical) is Hollyhock, who dodged a bullet by not meeting most of them when they were still alive....And by distancing herself from me. (beat) You made the right choice, Hollyhock."} {"text": "\"It don't matter.

I AM getting paid for doing this? And a surefire spot as host in the next season? Well... I guess I can manage but you have to include a clause where I am to not be held accountable for anything that happens to the contestants in the next season! For-ev-er! Do you agree? Awesome!Okay! Change of plans! Looks like I DO have some time to spare. But hurry up! My hot tub isn't going to help me relax without me being in there! But I guess I better give out an introduction first. Ahem! I am Chris McLean! The Host with the Most and I am the host of the Total Drama Island series. After my stellar performances from my older days, the company has begged for ME to host their show! Throughout the seasons, I meet different cast members whom I all despise and love to torture! Many people believe my sadism has gotten worse over each season but rest assured, I'm still my same old self! Until I was thrown in jail for anentire year!Anywho, time to wrap this up as I have a date with a hot tub that is best enjoyed hot! Will I answer all necessary tropes to satisfy the reader? Will this only show how much of a sadistic person I am? Will I greatly regret even doing this in the first place? Find out right here on Total Drama TV Tropes! If you want to read this in my voice, read it in the voice ofChristian Potenza, or for Spanish-speaking users, Jhonny Torres!Here are the tropes that best describe me! The Host with the Most!Attention Whore: Hah! Do you think you're watching Total Drama just for those other annoying teens? No, no, no! I'm the host of the show so of course, all attention is on me! Of course, just try to hog the spotlight from me. I'll make sure you pay for it. Painfully! (chuckles evilly)Bad Boss: What? You think my treatment of my interns is downright horrific? Hah! They're just interns! They don't feel anything and if one dies...I mean gets hurt, then I'll get another & you wanna know why? Because interns are EXPENDABLE!!! THAT'S WHY!!!Berserk Button: Yeah...I have a lot so I'll list them below:Do not ever, EVER cut me off! I hate it when those dumb teens overtalk whenever I'm trying to describe a challenge to them! And they get mad at ME whenever they whine and complain if I don't explain things right.Do not mess with any of my stuff! They're MY stuff and I have EARNED those things! When Sierra blew up my plane, I kicked her out of the show even though she won the challenge that day! Oh, and Duncan is sitting nicely in a jail cell for DESTROYING MY BEAUTIFUL COTTAGE!!Do not bring up any embarrassing moments from my past! I had to shut up Sierra when she revealed I was in a boy band and made me the laughingstock of the others! It was at that moment I stopped treating Sierra nicely and began to torture her just as much as the other contestants.Do NOT ask me about my age! I'm middle-aged and that's all you need to know!As I stated above, do NOT try to hog my spotlight or try to take over my show! I got Dakota mutated and Topher shot out a cannon because of it!Dark and Troubled Past:I do not want to talk about it but something happened in my past that caused me to become the guy you all know and love to hate.Deadpan Snarker: I do have my moments of this, especially with the type of cast I deal with.Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Yes, I'm a pretty terrible guy but I am still close with my mom. She even still sends me cute pics of her cats sometimes!Even Evil Has Standards: Yes, I am a cruel guy that loves seeing teens get hurt in numerous painful and funny ways. However, even I foundHeatherreading Gwen's diary to the entire world messed up.Faux Affably Evil: Hey, I'm a pretty chill guy to hang with on the outside! On the inside, I just happen to not care what happens to you or anyone else and love torturing you for fun!Flanderization: I'm accused of getting more and more cruel and sadistic over the seasons. I don't see what they mean as I've ALWAYS been this way! Locking me up in jail for a year has caused me to be more \"edgy\" I'll admit.Hate Sink: I'll admit, NOBODY in the series likes me. Hah! I don't care as the feeling is mutual!It's All About Me: Duh! I am not the HOST of Total Drama for nothing! When something occurs that puts others' lives at risk, of course, I'm saving my butt first! There is only one valuable \"me\" in this world! Hello!Jerkass: Um, if you're reading everything up to this point, this shouldn't surprise you.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I've been described as an unpleasant person and even with me only looking out for myself, but there are SOME lines thateven I won't dare to cross.Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Make up your mind! Either I'm a jerk sometimes or a jerk all of the time! It is mostly the latter so...Lack of Empathy: What? I'm supposed to show concern for the cast members whenever they get hurt or almost die? Hello! I'm the host! I'm not supposed to show concern for the cast members as it shows weakness!Morality Pet: This trope appears to be taken literally as the only ONE thing I care for right and never showed any hostility toward is my pet mutated plant, Larry.Narcissist: What? You need to have a perfect figure like mine to be able to host a show like Total Drama. And it also costs a LOT to keep myself looking good so yes! Also, almost everything MUST have my face on them! The Gilded Chris Awards from Season 2 are one of my favorite prizes to give away!Not Me This Time: No Heather. I did NOT steal your immunity idol. It was obviously Alejandro.You think one of the most cunning and manipulative characters in the entire show would be quick to assume the person she literally told she found the idol to was the culprit!Seems like all of the cast duringAll-Starsgot a lot stupider over the years.Older Than He Looks: SHUT UP!!! I look good no matter what my age is and I'd rather not go into how old I am!Pet the Dog: Hey! Even if my heart is colder than the food we serve the cast, I am capable of kindness! For example:I let Katie and Satie reunite after the latter was eliminated. The two are inseparable so I thought to at least let them have their moment.I mentioned thatDJwould be missed after being eliminated in the first season. If evenHeatherjoined in on a group hug, it's safe to say he deserved the friendly departure.Gwen and Courtney finally burying the hatchet and becoming friends again was very, very touching. Even I shed a single tear over how heartwarming that was and decided to give them both a point.I take great care of my pet mutated giant plant, Larry. He (later revealed to be a she) is pretty much the only thing I truly show care for at all times!Psychopathic Manchild: Hey, I take offense to that! Not the \"psychopathic\" part, that's pretty much true. ButI'm not a manchild!I'll eliminate you if you keep calling me one!Sanity Slippage: Well...being locked up in jail for a year has caused me to get a little..unhinged...Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: I loooove doing this! Being the host, I have the power to do what I want whenever I want! It makes the show more interesting and fun! For me!Teen Hater: Yes, I have admitted on screen that I despise teenagers. Though considering all the stuff I've done to them, this shouldn't be a shocker.Took a Level in Jerkass: A lot of people say that I was indeed a jerk in the first few seasons of Total Drama but I still had somePet the Dogmoments and even someEven Evil Has Standardsmoments that made it seem I wasn't all THAT bad. However, by Revenge of the Island, I dropped all of that and focused purely on torturing the new cast as sadistically as I can! I even pulled off an impressiveEvil Laughto show how low I sunk!Trademark Favorite Food: My favorite drink is tomato juice. Not that you or Sierra should have known that...Vitriolic Best Buds: A good way to describe me and Chef's friendship. In some episodes, he's annoying me and trying to get me hurt in some way. In other episodes, I'm inviting him to lunch or to watch the other teen's torment.What Happened to the Mouse?: You're probably wondering why I didn't host that spin-off, The Ridonculous Race. It's simple, I didn't feel like it.Would Hurt a Child: Well, not younger kids but considering the cast from Total Drama Island and Total Drama World Tour were around 16 and I love torturing them through various life-threatening challenges, I guess so!There! I am done with this! McLean out!"} {"text": "A picture of me.Um...hi, readers. My name isChuckie Finster, and this is my page on the Interwebby-thing.I should probably tell you about me. Well, I'm only two years old, and I live with my mommy, daddy, my adopted sister Kimi, and our two doggies Fifi and Pepper.My friends are this boy named Tommy who's a bit younger than me but much braver, his little brother Dil, Phil and Lil who are twins that live next door to Tommy and Dil, a very smart big girl Susie, and Tommy's older cousin Angelica. Okay, I am a bit scared of Angelica, because she's quite mean, but she's my friend anyway. Tommy's the bravliest, but they're all more bravely than me, but that's okay, I'm used to not being brave.I like to play in the sand, on slides and with blocks, but don't like it when people puts blocks where they're not susposed to go. My favouritest toy is a bear called Wawa. I don't really like new things, 'cause I find them scary, but they're okay or even good when I gets used to them. Oh and big me is gonna share this page with me.Tropes about meAccidental Misnaming: Tommy's little brother Dil sometimes calls me Ducky.Baby Talk: Well, I'm only two, so don't blame me if I don't talk right.Berserk Button: Mostly, I don't gets mad at people, but don't unsort my blocks.Big Brother Instinct: When my daddy married Kimi's mommy, Kimi became my little sister. At first, I was worried that I wasn't going to be a good big brother and that Kimi didn't really need me to protect her, acause' she's brave and I'm not. When I sawed two boys kicking sand at each other, and some of the sand landed on Kimi, I worked up the courage to tell them to leave her alone. Fortunately, they meaned no harm to her.Blind Without 'Em: Without my glasses, everything looks blurry unless I sees it up really close.Butt-Monkey: Im not a monkey and I don't like them after our adventure in the woods. But more bad things happens to me than my friends.Catchphrase: I likes to say \"We're Doomed!\" whenever we gets into trouble, and \"I don't think this is such a good idea.\" whenever Tommy tries to talk me into going on a adventure.Embarrassing Damp Sheets: There was that one time, I wetted the bed while staying at Tommy's. He didn't mind though.Facing Your Fears: Mostly, I'm fine with being afraid, but if I have to quit being scared of something or do something even though I'm scared, I pretend to be a big brave dog. Susie taught me.Feud Episode: One time, I thought Tommy's ideas were too scary so I decided not to be his friend anymore. Another time, he and I got mad 'cause we couldn't agree on what to play so we finded different people to play with. Sorry for both of those times if you're reading this, Tommy, though I don't thinks you can read.I Don't Think That's Such a Good Idea: Sometimes, Tommy's ideas are crazy, and I don't think they're good ideas.In-Series Nickname: Tommy sometimes calls me Chuckaroo, while Phil and Lil's mommy calls me Chuckster. Angelica calls me Scaredy-Cat.Like Father, Like Son: I guess I am kinda like my dad. We both has red hair and glasses, we both get scared easily, and we're both allergic to dandelions.Limited Wardrobe: Mostly I always wears red shoes, yellow socks, green pants and a blue shirt with a planet on. In fact, when I losted my shirt, I felt I had to change my name.Lovable Coward: I scare easily, but I'm a nice boy.Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: My sister Kimi is a lot like Tommy; she's very adventurous and when she loses something, she wanders into strange territory to get it back. I'm not so brave, so whenever I lose something, I prefer to leave it where it is. However, when Kimi wanders into strange territory, I'll go in with her to make sure nothing bad happens to her.Missing Mom: I used to have a different mommy but she's not around anymore. Well,she's dead so she can't really show up.Luckily, I gots a new mommy now.Nature Tinkling:When I was learning to use the grown-ups' potty, I was worried about being watched, so I decided to go on a tree, but that wasn't allowed. I thought that Spike was part of the rules too so we tried to potty-train him, but then he wented on the tree again and they didn't mind, so I decided they'd changed the rules again and peed on the tree.Also, I went potty in the drainforest while we gots on an island.Neat Freak: I like having my blocks put away, and stacked big to small. Tommy finds that annoying, so sorry, Tommy.One-Episode Fear: When I got pushed down the big-boy slide, I became scareded of slides. Susie made that go away. I also used to be afraid of goin' down the drain, especially after Angelica told me I could, but I soon finded out I'm much too big to fit down it.Potty Failure: I wetted my pants a few times while being potty-trained, but I don't anymore. Hardly ever.Throw the Dog a Bone: After our trip to Paris, I gots a new mommy after daddy married her and a new's sister named Kimi.Toilet Training Plot: When I first gotted potty-trained, I didn't want to, but now I can't imagine myself in diapers.Why Did It Have To Be Clowns?: I'm scared of clowns, the dark, new things, monsters, actual snakes, and the guy on the oatmeal box.Tropes about big meAnime Hair: Especially during my \"Yu-Gotta-Go!\" dream sequences.Bad Liar: Angelica basically has to drill me in how to be an effective liar in \"Brother, Can You Spare the Time?\". How does she do it?Berserk Button: I'll go absolutely paranoid if I think Kimi is in danger.Big Brother Instinct: Towards Kimi, who doesn't always appreciate it. (SeeBerserk Buttonabove.)Big Brother Mentor/Older and Wiser: I have an odd role when it comes to wisdom: most of the time I'm nebbish and insecure, but when the moment comes for it. I'm also often the guy who picks up on my friends' sensitive/emotional problems and gives wise speeches to members of the gang, most often to Tommy and Kimi. Occasionally I'm the \"lesson giver\" when Susie's not around.This leads to aRunning Gagwhere I give some insightful advice, and then I admit that got it out of a fortune cookie / hallmark card.Funnily enough, while I often fill this role for Tommy, Tommy often fills this role for me. It's a cornerstone of our friendship. In fact, a couple of the speeches I give to Tommy are of the \"teaching a lesson that Tommy didn't realize I was already inspiring in other people\" sort.Blind Without 'Em: Not as bad as in the original series. I actually remove my glasses at times to read fine print.Butt-Monkey: Even more so in this series. One episode even finds me completely naked on school grounds, save for a guitar.Continuity Nod: The circus camp episode reveals that even after all these years, I'm still terrified of clowns.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass:noteDon't look at that last one, little me!I often displays abilities that end saving the day, and when facing my fears I actually can prove myself to be a quite competent leader and hero. Unfortunately, many of my abilities only work in very specific circumstances, a constant source of frustration for me.Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Tommy, of course, and even gets jealous if anybody threatens to take my place as his best friend.Hidden Depths: In 'Superhero Worship', it's revealed I've a knack for engineering; my design for a mice labyrinth (required for a school project/contest) was so good that its photo and blueprints appeared in a specialized magazine, and one year later, when helping Tommy do his own labyrinth for the same project, we won first place. Later, in 'Brothers' Grimm', this ability is referenced again, as I make the blueprints for a treehouse, having professional-like quality.The Lancer: As usual, I follow Tommy's lead.Launcher of a Thousand Ships:In-universe.Lovable Coward: I try hard to avert being a coward, especially in the earlier episodes.My Sister Is Off-Limits: Played straight in \"Bad Kimi\" and especially in \"TP + KF\", when I'm very protective of Kimi's potential relationships with Z and Tommy.Nerd Glasses: I wouldn't be Chuckie without 'em, you know.Self-Deprecation: I always seems to make remarks that insult myself.Chuckie:See? I'm VANILLA! Crustless,vanillaFinster.Shower Shy: An episode has me trying to avoid having to shower in gym class, until one of my attempts to do so gets me stranded outside the locker room with no clothes or towel. At the end of the episode I finally overcome my fear.Simple, yet Awesome: Apparently, I don't consider my latent engineering skills to be cool or impressive at all, since I never told anyone about how my mice labyrinth's design actually got shown in a specialized magazine, and my friends only found out when looking for reference material for their own labyrinth. It's possible that I have other cool or useful abilities but I don't consider them interesting at all and therefore never shows them until they are actually necessary.A similar case in \"Dude, Where's My Horse?\", when I finds out I'm an extremely good cowboy, but then I feel bad when remembering these abilities are useless back at home... and then I start playing a harmonica with remarkable skill. Even Tommy can't make me confess at what point I learned to play an instrument, as I've apparently learned to do it almost without realizing it.Techno Babble: I descend into this when I'm deprived of television. \"TV Rots Your Brain!\" indeed.Why Did It Have To Be Clowns?: While I've gotten over most of my childhood fears (even my fear ofAngelica!), I never quite got over my fear of clowns.noteDon't worry, little me, they still won't bethatscary anymore, and yeah, that guy on the oatmeal boxalways did look weird."} {"text": "YOU ARE TO READ THIS IN THE VOICE OFMIKE JUDGEDOING AN IMPRESSION OFR.

Cobra has resources, but we still have limits, and we certainly cannot throw them away in a suicidal confrontation with the US military.Archnemesis Dad: To think, my own son Billy has chosen to be an ingrate and oppose my plans for world domination.Darth Vaderhas to deal with this too, so at least I'm in good company.Army of Lawyers: I have them, and they've kept me out of Blackwater Prison more than once. The Joes fear them far more than they fear my actual troops. Though giventhe caliber of soldiers I have to work with, I can't say that I blame them.Big Bad: I\u2019m the leader of a global terrorist organization. The only way I could possibly get bigger and badder is if these MORONS learned how to follow orders for once in their pathetic lives.The Blank: When I\u2019m wearing the metal faceplate. WHY I wear the faceplate seems to shift with the breeze, butI think we can all agreeit\u2019s better that way.Body Horror:Lizard man with multiple eyes thanks to a lab accident.I suppose it never occurred to you people that the mask was for your benefit.Captain Ersatz:WHAT!!!I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITHBARON ZEMO!''HE'' STOLE THE HOOD FROM ''ME''!!!Cassandra Truth: Serpentor's first plan as Cobra's leader is to invade Washington DC under the assumption that he will force the United States to surrender. I warn everyone that this is a terrible plan, but nobody listens. Sure enough, I am proven right when Cobra is driven from the city because we cannot afford such a foolhardy confrontation with US military.Catchphrase:HAIL COBRA!!!\u201cCobra retreat!\u201d doesn\u2019t count!Demoted to Dragon: Someone as great as me, having to serve under a fool likeSerpentor... NO, I'M NOT LETTING IT GO, MINDBENDER!I GOT TURNED INTO A SNAKE!!...Yes, yes, I KNOW I got my revenge, but THAT took some time.Depending on the Artist: I stick mainly to some variation on either the hood or the reflective mask. I like to have fun with the design of the mask.Dirty Coward:I AM NOT A COWAAAAARD!!!Dumbass Has a Point:I AM NOT STUPID!Regardless, when Serpentor took over, he got thebright ideato invade Washington DC, assuming the rest of America would surrender. I warned him that this was a mistake, but nobody listened. I was proven right. Not only didinvading Washington not bring about the quick victory over America that Serpentor promised, but he quickly found that Cobra lacks the manpower for a long-term occupation.Many fans have reevaluated my frequent retreats in light of Serpentor's failure highlighting that staying and fighting would cause losses Cobra cannot afford.Serpentor wasn't grateful when I rescued himafter his failed invasion, but I pointed out that he needed me alive as a scapegoat for his defeat. Otherwise, the rest of Cobra would realize he's not as perfect as he made himself out to be.Evil Sounds Deep: Well, Live-Action Movie Me at least. I normallydon'tsound like this, but I can rise to the occasion every now and then; a line like \"As Stalin said, trust no one, not even yourself\" is meant to be said in dulcet tones, after all. Funny story, before people heard my voice for the first time, quite a few of themimaginedme sounding likeOrson Welles.Evil Sounds Raspy: Most of the time I sound like this instead, given Chris Latta gave me one hell of aCreepy High-Pitched Voice.Multiple-Choice Past: A disgraced scientist from a secret society, a disgraced car salesman, or a jarhead at the wrong place at the wrong time. If thatpurple coated jestercan do it, why can't I?According toBattle Action Force, one of the Joes' predecessor teams battled a criminal organization called the Red Shadows, led by a fellow named Baron Ironblood. After one defeat too many, the Baron reportedly faked his death and went into hiding. Much has been made about how my debut on the national stage\"seemingly from nowhere\"occurred mere monthsafterthe Baron's disappearance.But I assure you this is just a coincidence.Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: What a great system! If you have enough money and you can hire the best lawyers, you can do anything you want!Smug Snake: It is not a sin to be smug, for I am the leader of Cobra after all!The Starscream: When Serpentor took over Cobra, I tried to sabotage him to regain my rightful position. I amaware ofcertain connections\u2026 even ifthey are pitiful.Took a Level in Badass: Sssssay what you will about all the timesmy incompetent underlings failed mein the original cartoons, but inG.I. Joe: ResoluteI not only turned out to have been usingObfuscating Stupidityall along, butI BLEW UPMOSCOW! No one can take that away from me!Was Once a Man: I can't believethey made a trope out of this. The Baroness eventually tried to restore me to normal, but I STILL ended up as MORE of a lizard man than I already was! I HAD THE URGE TO EAT FLIES! ...Not that I DIDN'T consider myself to have FINALLY returned, and at least I only had TWO eyes again. Finding one of my battle suits also helped.Where the Hell Is Springfield?: I once set up a secret base in a nice little town called Springfield.No, not that one. Virtually every state has a Springfield. I can set up shop in any one of them.Now that I am done here, you shall be loyal to me, you shall read thisssss page\u2014You Fool!!! No one will read a page with so few tropes here! They'll flock to the Joes' page and make you look like an idiot in their eyes while you do nothing about it!!!NOT NOW DESTRO! But if they try, I shall\u2014 wait, you gave me an idea, Destro! I'll get my men to raid that page and deface the Joes' character folders! TROOPS! You shall make an account on this scummy website each and deface the Joes' character folders! FOR COOOOBRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"} {"text": "is standing in the alleyway by himself drinking a beer and smoking a cigaretteYep.BeatGeh?! Who are you?! Me? Well, I am NOT Dale Gribble. I am... Rusty Shackleford! That's right! Rusty... -takes a smoke- Shackleford... Huh? You're not with the government and just want to know more about me instead of Hank? Well, I have to say I am flattered... Alright fine! I am Dale Gribble but you better not be blabbing that to \"the man\" man! Ahem! As you know, I am one of the main characters of, how does Hank say it, \"T.V.'sKing of the Hill\". Man that sounds so dumb to say... Anyway, I live in the state of Arlen Texas with the best wife and son a guy could ask for! And I also live beside my friends I knew since high school: Hank, Boomhauer, and Bill. One of them is annoying but a good friend, the other I have no problems with (most of the time), and the last one, frankly, I can't really stand. Then again, nobody does.Did I tell you about my family? My wife, Nancy Gribble, is by far the best wife a man could ask for! She's definitely smarter, nicer, and WAY sexier than Hank's wife and my son Joseph is like the best at everything he does! I'm also the founder, CEO, and only employee of my extermination company: Dale's Dead Bug. And I'll have you know I'm pretty damn good at my job. However, jobs are far few in between so we must rely on Nancy's weatherperson job for the money. As you can probably tell, I love to smoke. Like a lot. Some people say someone who smokes as much as me should've died a long time ago but I have lungs of steel! Well, not really. I tried to make them steel once but the doctor said it was \"Physically impossible...\"I guess this is the part where I go into even more detail about myself but I won't be doing too much of that because of two things. One, my series has beenrunning since the 90sso that'll take waaaay to long and my attention span is way to short for that. And two, I'm not some informative dork like Hank who would most likely take a lot of time just discussing how \"Propane is the best gas\" or how he sells propane and propane accessories... But I will say that the government is a sham and aliens are real!Huh... Looks like that Doley kid and his ugly friendhave their own demonstrating page.I wouldn't think that two minor characters are worthy enough to have their own page. What? Those aren't Doley and his ugly friend? How could they not?! Just look!Hank even appears in that show of theirs!He goes by \"Tom Anderson\" for some reason... Must be disguising his name as well to fit into a different environment. That's probably why he gained a lot of weight and made himself look much older. Clever Hank... clever... 'Come to think of it, thatgym coachkind of sounds like him too...Here are my tropes. Sh-sh-sha!Afraid of Blood: A-Afraid?! I'm not afraid of a little...geh...blood. I just can't stand the sight of it is all...Anti-Role Model: Too late! There are already kids that smoke and do other bad things like with myself! And don't say \"Hank is the perfect role model\" because he's not! Just look how hetreats his own son!A lot of you do say that I tend to be this way to Joseph despite me caring for him. I'm just trying to help him prepare for eventually when the aliens decide to come back and take over the planet! Though, I, in secret, did this once in the episode \"The Smoking and The Bandit\" where Joseph started to hate me and I became the \"Smoking Bandit\" so that Joseph will have someone to look up to. I was planning to reveal to him that I was the Smoking Bandit in hopes to get him to like me again but he ended up saying ahead of time that someone like me couldn't be the bandit! Ouch... Don't worry, I resolved everything at the end all by myself! ...Fine! With a LITTLE help from Hank...Ax-Crazy: So I may be a little unhinged... Though...an axe would've been perfect to kill Hank with in that episode where he spoke bad about me!Brutal Honesty: I pull no punches on telling others how I feel about them. Hank is an annoying do-gooder who loves propane, his lawn, and his dog even more than his own family. Peggy is probably the worst human being I've ever met. Bobby is weird like \"weirder than me\" weird. Boomhauer, though a great friend, I can never understand him sometimes. And Bill is a pathetic, fat, disgusting, stupid, andbaldof a man who will never get another women if he tried.The Bully: Huh? You think I bully Hank way too much? Well, maybe I do but it's just fun taking advantage of a guy who seems to do right in every thing he does! Sure, he can kick my ass afterwards but most times, I get away with it!Definitely with Bill. I love to bully him as well and he, unlike Hank,doesn't fight back.Bullying a Dragon: So what bullying a guy who can definitely kick my ass is a bad idea? It's fun to take Hank down a peg when the opportunity arises! Especially since I can definitely outrun Hank!Calling Your Attacks:Like a certain \"anime character\" who looks like he dyed his hair in his own urine every day (good idea by the way), I do tend to call out attacks to act dramatic. One being \"SQUIRREL TACTICS!\" or my famous \"POCKET SAND!\"Cloud Cuckoolander: A lot of you say I'm crazy, but also wacky, with a dose of insane, topped with being total nuts! I must say... I agree. Also, don't try to pet your pet turtles with your finger in a wiggling motion. They will think said finger is a worm and would proceed to eat it!Combat Pragmatist: Yes! When the government is constantly watching you or you've made enemies more than a regular person should have, I've trained myself to use by any means necessary to get one over them. I even keepsand in my pocketjust in case I'm forced to confront someone.Comedic Sociopathy: Hey! It's fun watching Peggy Hill squirm! Why you think I enjoy going to her birthday parties? Becausesomething bad 'always' happens at them!Conspiracy Theorist: Of course! However, unlike those OTHER Conspiracy Theorists that are always spouting nonsense, I on the other hand am right every single time! The government is not to be trusted as they are constantly watching everything we do! Even in the bathrooms! And not to mention aliens are in fact real! Joseph is a good example of this! How else he could be my son despite having a different hair and skin color from yours truly?Cool Shades: -adjusts his shades- You damn right they're cool. Better than Hank's dorky frames!Dead Person Impersonation: I took on the alias \"Rusty Shackleford\" after the real one died years ago. Or so I thought! Turns out he was still alive and was out for blood! I'm still using his name here so don't tell him I'm doing it or else...Dirty Coward: Of course! Covering oneself in dirt and then fleeing is an effective way to escape from threats. Especially if said threat is bigger and stronger than you and even if it means leaving your friends behind. Survival of the fittist... survival of the fittest...Disproportionate Retribution: A lot of you say that it's \"taking it too far\" to try and kill Hank with a forklift for talking bad about me. So what? He talked bad about me and he must be punished! Plus, I've done worse...Doting Parent: You've seen my son Joseph? He's so awesome at everything he does! The best son a father could ask for even if his true dad is an alien!Good Parents: Damn right! I love my son Joseph even if he's part alien and Nancy always treat him well. Unlike Hank who barely is man enough to even show open affection for his own son. And I also like Joseph for what he is. Not constantly trying to push him to doing something he doesn't want to do unlike with Hank!Gun Nut: Guns are awesome! I have guns of many different shapes and sizes and I keep them everywhere in the house despite Nancy's constant nags! I also happen to be the leader of the Gun Club and one of the best damn shooters around!Everyone Has Standards: Would you believe me when I say that Hank once lost his faith in someone over a damn handshake? I called him \"crazy!\" for that. And don't get me started when Peggy was threatening others with that damn paddle. I had to take that thing because she's freaking crazy! She even almost beat my own son and I rightfully called her a bully. See, when I bully Hank, it's never really physical (of course he can kick my ass) but when others do it, it's always physical!Foil: Me and Hank, you could say, are foils to each other. Also, that reminds me to buy more aluminum foil for my mind-control prevention hats...I'll admit, Hank is a well put together guy than me. He has the muscles, the tools (which I love to take sometimes), ha-MORE hair...while me I'm thin, don't have enough tools, and I only get offers for my services every now and again with us relying on Nancy's weather job.Hank is also more level-headed and rational while I'm, well, crazy and irrational. At times mind you!Hank always fixes problems. I always cause them.However, there are things I'm better at than Hank! While he does have a stronger body, I'm waaay more athletic than his beer-belly ass! I also have a better family than him, better friends, and more abilities that he wishes he could have!The Friend Nobody Likes: Yeah, yeah! I know, I know! Blah blah blah Dale's a bad friend! Blah blah blah People shouldn't hang around him. Blah blah blah!Gratuitous Russian: Yep! I can speak other languages as well but I'm pretty fluent in speaking Russian! Ahem! \u0425\u044d\u043d\u043a - \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0430\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0439 \u0444\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0442 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0430, \u0438 \u0411\u0438\u043b\u043b \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0432\u0435\u043d \u043c\u043d\u0435 \u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0442\u0438 \u0432\u0441\u0435\u043c \u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u043c. Translation: Hank is an annoying propane fanatic and Bill disgusts me and pretty much everyone else.Happily Married: Nancy is the best wife a man could possibly ask for! She's drop-dead gorgeous, caring, and does her best to support my ideas even when she doesn't understand them. In return, I would do absolutely anything for her, and I would never even DREAM of cheating on her, just like I know she would never cheat on me.Hero-Worshipper: For the most part, the Hills are just a family of weirdos and jackasses. However, Cotton Hill on the other hand was a true American hero! This man fought for our country losing both of his shins and, even better, hates Peggy just as much as I do! Not to mention how he treats Hank is hilarous! It's a damn shame he died. I'm glad I was able to carry out his last wish by destroying Hank's stupid shed. May he rest in peace...Heterosexual Life-Partners: Not me and Hank and Bill. We're often thatother termbut definitely with me and Boomhauer and John Redcorn. John Redcorn, I'll admit, was pretty distant and found it akward to be around me for some reason but after apologizing for my race taking his race's land, we've been even more close than usual! He even let me join his band!Huh? You think me and Octavio is this as well? Oh no no no! He's just more of a \"business partner.\"Jerkass: -breathes in a cigarette and blows out- Your point?Jerkass Ball: I'm a jerk to pretty much everyone but my family so if I'm a jerk to them, then I guess I did held this \"trope.\" Most notably in the episode where I was forced to work in some boring office job where I had the thrill of firing people up and downwithout giving a damn about what personal problems they have!I even threathened to fire Nancy and Joseph from our family... Damn I felt bad for doing that but that was just the stress talking...Jerkass Has a Point: Yes, I know I am a \"jerk\" but even you, \"Tropers\", have to agree with me that Peggy Hill is a terrible human being that Hank should just divorce her! Sure, maybe saying she's a \"terrible human being\" may be going far but she's definitely annoying. Like \"more annoying than Hank constantly talking about propane\" annoying.Also, like I said above, Hank's constant talk about propane is enough to make me crazy! Er, crazier...Also, also! Bill is pathetic isn't he? Bald, lazy, always trying to steal Peggy away from Hank...I can go on and on about Bill being the worst guy around but I have a gun club meeting in a bit.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I can be an unplesant person to be around. This I will admit. However, I am more capable of showing love for my family unlike a certain propane fanatic. Speaking of said propane fanatic, sure I love to bully him around but I'll admit, he's the most dependable person I can count of if something should happen to me.Lean and Mean: Hey! I'm not THAT skinny am I? Well, I guess compared to Hank's muscular body with a beer belly, Bills fatty fat body, and Boomhauer's, well, average body, I guess I am \"lean.\" The mean part though, yeah, that I can understand.Master Actor: The Deaf Cable Repairman is just one of the many brilliant alter-egos I have devised to stay under the radar, and nobody else is any the wiser.Men Are Uncultured: Hardly! I'm more well-rounded when it comes to hobbies than anyone I know. Unlike that stick-in-the-mud Hank, I am perfectly comfortable baking desserts, coaching actors, watching dinner theater, dancing, yoga, and writing children\u2019s storybooks. I am also quite fond of dress-up and building clubhouses.My God, What Have I Done?: I'll admit. Pretending to act like a terrible husband toward Nancy was not one of my best moments. Especially since she thought I really meant the terrible things I've said to her and almost divorced me! Fortunately, I was able to win her back.No Celebrities Were Harmed: Plenty of people tell me that my appearance and demeanor reminds them ofHunter S. ThompsonandWilliam S. Burroughs, and that my voice sounds just likeRobert Patrick. It's a mixed blessing; while this can draw unneeded attention, the fact that I resemble so many people is probably why I can slip into and out of my many alter-egos with such ease.Pet the Dog: Ew! I don't want to pet Hank's filthy dog! Oh, that's not what you meant? Oh, well yeah despite my status, I am capable of showing niceness toward others. I'm not THAT heartless...My treatment of Joseph is far better than Hank's treatment of Bobby. That's for sure!Speaking of Hank, me and him have are differences and if you're reading my page to this point, you can say I don't like him very much. However, Hank is very dependable and I can always count on him I'll admit. Even when I thought Hank was dying from a bullet wound, I promised to him that I'll keep Bill away from Peggy despite me hating her with a burning passion! See! I am a good friend! Just not all the time...Also for Bill, I may can't stand his guts but I still care for the guy. When I thought he died in a tank explosion, I actually cried. Yes, I cried! And the cause wasn't pesticide in my eyes for once! And when Bill (somehow) survived, I was relieved he was okay.Rated M for Manly: The only thing my friends and I have in common is our manly interests in sports, cars, craftsmanship, fishing, and in fact I am a better marksman than anyone I know, especially Hank. My passion in life is to kill things with as many weapons as possible.Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: Hey, just because I love guns and hate the federal government, that doesn\u2019t mean I'm some kind of political extremist! Hell, I don't even vote!The Rival: Just because Hank is my quote unquote \"Best Friend\" doesn't stop me from trying to best him at something! Even if I don't win said contest, if I've scored or placed higher than Hank, then that's a win for me!Smoking Is Cool: You damn right it is! I've been smoking all my life since the third grade! Like with my hat, I also smoke in the middle of taking a shower.Smoking Is Not Cool: Though, I have admitted there were times my smoking got me and others into trouble. Like the episode where Joseph looked up to my alter-ego the Smoking Bandit but forall of the wrong reasons..Took a Level in Kindness: A lot of you say that I've gotten a lot more laid-back as the series goes on especially during the last parts of it. I'll admit, after rekindling my marriage with Nancy and forming a deeper bond with Joseph, I just feel so damn good about life lately!Toxic Friend Influence: Well, duh. I'm an exterminator! I use toxins for a living! Oh. You mean the type of friend that others shouldn't hang with because they're a bad influnce and will often betray or ditch you when you need them the most? Yeah. That sounds like me alright.Trademark Favorite Food: Like the others, beer. I will NOT give it up for anything! Stupid tea...Verbal Tic: I do often say \"Geh!\" whenever something surprises me.Vitriolic Best Buds: -smokes- You can say this is my status with pretty much everyone I know besides John Redcorn and my family of course. At lot of you will say that me and Hank are one of the best examples of this. Me and Bill often get on each others nerves as well.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Snakes?! I'm not afraid of any snakes! Haven't you watched the episode where I KILLED a bunch of them! What? Just a worse fear in general that doesn't have to be snakes? I don't know what you're talking about! I'm not afraid of anything.Is shown a puppet.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And with that, I bid you farewell! Remember, you've been talking with Rusty Shackleford, not Dale Gribble! -sees a car pull up and the real Rusty Shackleford comes out- GEH! SQUIRREL TACTICS!climbs up a treeAlternative Title(s):King Of The Hill Dale Gribble"} {"text": "Me, demonstrating my sense of crimefighter chic.(This page is best read in the voice ofJim CummingsorChris Diamantopoulos.)(Puff of blue smoke)I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the trope page that you cannot edit! I am... Darkwwwiiiiing Duck!I bet you want an autograph. No really, it's no trouble. Take a few more for the kids. Or maybe you want to hear some of the tales of my derring-do and cunning cleverness?At the start, Darkwing Duck struggled solo against the sinister scoundrels who stalked the city of St. Canard. However,little did I knowthat that was all to change. While investigating the theft of the Waddlemeyer Ramrod, I encountered for the first time a featherbrained flyboy, Launchpad McQuack (he eventually told me he was fresh from Scrooge McDuck's mansion inDuckburg... ya might have told me that earlier, L.P.) and a spirited little girl called Gosalyn Waddlemeyer. Originally, I didn't plan to keep either of them around for longer than it took to complete the mission \u2014 Darkwing Duck dares the denizens of darkness alone! However, the mission proved more problematic than I presumed, and I was forced to interact with both for longer than I had intended... Okay, so they both grew on me, so sue me! After the defeat of the terrifying taurine, Taurus Bulba, I reunited with both of them and now we live together.Oh, by the way, if you've heard something about there being an old TV show, a washed up actor, and some fan who was gonna star in a movie,you're thinking of some other guys.I already know from Negaduck thatthere's more than one me.Now that you've heard that story, maybe you want to hear some specific samples of the circumstances of my crimefighting career? Very well... that is, since you insist.(Ahem)Tropes I've left my mark on:Added Alliterative Appeal: Ah, yes! This avian adventurer always amazes his adoring audience with awesome alliteration abilities.Aesop Amnesia: So what if I constantly forget that I need to let others help me out on tough cases? Clearly they can stick to their own little corners of the world, while I and I alone defend St. Canard from the dastardly deviants who deprive the denizens of their...wait, THEY WHAT?!?! They took over the city?! Oh, why didn't I learn?! Oh well.Maybe it will stick with me this time aroundAffectionate Nickname:Launchpad calls me \"D.W.\", in or out of costume. I sometimes call him \"L.P.\"Morgana calls me \"Dark.\"Gos calls me \"Dad\"Alliterative Name: Related toAdded Alliterative Appeal, my superhero name is awesomely alliterative.All Just a Dream:You do not know how thankful I was to find out that the time I thought I was dead was this.The time I was about to kiss Morgana? Not so much.Especially once I found out I'd planted one on Launchpad instead.Anti-Hero: There's nothing anti about me! I am the genuine article of heroics! All I want isa little respect, thank you very much! I mean, I spend all this time saving St. Canard from seriously sinister slimeballs, and what do they do? Act like I'm some sort of common criminal! What a joke! It'snot my faultthey have poor taste in fashionable crime fighters!Arch-Enemy: Being a superhero, I have quite a few. Just to name a few of the foul fiends whom I frequently fight:That electromagnetic egomaniac Megavolt and I have been squaring off on a regular basis since our school days. (Apparently he was the school science nerd. Who knew?)My diabolical doppelganger Negaduck is my mirror image in every way (right down to thinking we don't get the respect we deserve), and so we're often at odds.The terrifyingly tyrannical bovine, Taurus Bulba, has had it in for me since I foiled his plan to rob the city blind with Professor Waddlemeyer's Ramrod. I've had it in for him ever since he tried to kill Gos to get his hands on the activation code for the Ramrod.Quackerjack. Especially watch out for hisElectric Joybuzzer.Many are of the opinion that the dangerously duplicitous Dr. Slug is my greatest archenemy. I suppose it's only natural to assume that; heisPublic Enemy #1 after all, and I have had to engage in many feats of heroic daring-do to defeat him! But you already knew that. What's that? You don't? What do youmeanyou haven't even seen Dr. Slug in action?!And then there's Steelbeak. Given that he's F.O.W.L.'s primary agent, we have a long-running feud.Attention Whore: Attention \u2014? Who wrote this? I amnotaglory hound. I just have a healthy respect for my contributions to the welfare of the world, that's all. Okay, I do have a problem with this...but only a slight problem.Want an 8-by-5 glossy?Awesome Ego: Alright, alright, maybe I have asmallego problem. But considering my exploits once I say theCatchphrase, I live up to the billing.Badass Cape: And it looks great along.Badass in a Nice Suit: Megavolt was actually a classmate of mine, a science geek named Elmo Sputterspark. ThatJerk JockHamm String ruined Elmo's electrical experiment, which gave him superpowers. Elmo was so angry that he attacked us at a school dance. I couldn't let him fry the rest of the class, so I had to stop him. I nicked a hat, cape and mask from the school Drama department to create my impromptu superhero identity, but I had to fight Elmo in the tuxedo I wore to the dance.Badass Normal: Sure, it would be great to have some fancy powers, and Ireally like when I get temporary ones,but most of the time I only need my smarts and skills to defeat my felonious foes.Berserk Button: Do not, and I repeat, under any circumstances, do NOT try to steal MY job and vanquish MY foes in MY city!Big Eater: Gosalyn. Seriously, have you seen how much she packs away?Can't Live with Them, Can't Live without Them: Boy do L.P. and Gosalyn get on my nerves! Between hisconstant crashingand herrefusing to even clean one inch of her room...but, what's a duck to do? They're the two most important people in my life. I don't know what I'd do with myself if anything were to happen to them...Catchphrase: Oh, I have several ones; in no particular order...\"Let's Get Dangerous!\"\"Suck GAS, evildoer!\"\"Yep, yep, yep.\"\"AH...HA!\"\"Ouch.\"\"Singed, but triumphant.\"\"I am the terrorthatflaps in the night.I am the (noun that does / is something unpleasant). I am Darkwiiinnng Duck!\"Cheap Costume: I made my first Darkwing disguise with props and clothing from my school's Drama Club; I admit I was lucky to find good enough stuff for a decent disguise, since I had to improvise it on the spot to stop Megavolt.Chick Magnet: All in a day's work for a hero. I got smooched by Neptunia and drew the attention of Morgana McCawber and other females I've run across with my smooth charm and dashing good looks.Coat, Hat, Mask: Yep, yep, yep, I have a great fashion sense. My standard crimefighting attire includes all three of these garments, all in dashing shades of purple.Combat Pragmatist: I'm quite good at thinking on my feet and improvising battle plans. That helps me defeat enemies that, admittedly, are too powerful for me to take on in a direct fight.Cool Bike: The Ratcatcher.Cool Plane: The Thunderquack \u2014 a gadget-laden, VTOL and hover-capable subsonic jet plane, created in my image.Crazy-Prepared: Hey, sometimes youhaveto be crazily prepared to survive in this business. Just look at the fight where I led the Justice Ducks against the Fearsome Five. When Morgana teleported the pudding mix I was carrying to fall on Liquidator, I put an eggbeater attachment on my gas gun and worked with Gizmoduck to turn Liquidator into a delicious dessert.Create Your Own Villain:Okay, seriously, stop saying I created Liquidator!! I tried to save the guy when he fell in that contaminated water... thathecontaminated in the first place!! Not my fault that he fell when trying to escape from me.Heh, funnily enough,the reverse version happened to me, since it was Megavolt's actions that made me become Darkwing Duck in the first place.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: WithLet's Get Dangerous!in between!Dark Is Not Evil: For some reason, almost everyone seems to hate my darker persona. Even Launchpad mistook me for a burglar the first time we met.Well...Okay, fine, that may have had something to do with the fact that I crashed through his ceiling at an early hour of the morning. So sue me.Deadpan Snarker: One of my many talents is to taunt my enemies with clever one-liners, usually to really humiliate them once I've started destroying their plans.Despair Event Horizon:I actually came near this line thanks to Taurus Bulba. Fortunately, Launchpad's timely arrival snapped me out of it.In an alternate future, this is what led me to becoming an iron fisted dictator due to thinking Gos ran away.Determinator: It doesn't matter what you throw at me. Darkwing Duck always finishes the job!Distressed Dude: Distressed? Where did anybody get that idea? I just frequently get my enemies to let their guard down by \u2014 okay, I get tied up a fair amount. But Darkwing Duck always triumphs.Dude, Where's My Respect?: Like I mentioned \u2014 I can save the city a hundred times, and I'm still \"Darkworm Duck\" on the evening news. How is that fair, I ask you?Enemy Mine: Sometimes I've needed to team up with my enemies for the greater good... and in their case,because they'd have nothing to steal if the city gets destroyed.Establishing Character Moment: Here, for your viewing pleasure,is the opening scene to my pilot episode.It showed off both my amazing skills and my amazing theme music!Everyone Went to School Together: EvenIwas surprised that the science geek in my class became Megavolt.Fedora of Asskicking: I wear a sharp-looking purple fedora when I kick butt and take names. It complements the rest of my dashing superhero outfit quite nicely.Follow in My Footsteps: Sometimes I wish Goswouldn'tdo this.Sometimes.For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: I was once invited to a costume party and wound up wearing my suit. Can you believe Herb Muddlefoot actually thought \"no one would mistake me for the real Darkwing Duck\"?Frame-Up: Somehow or another, St. Canard's most delinquent deviants always destroy my do-gooder image so they can slink into the night and rob the city blind. Some of them framing me successfully I can understand; Negaduck at least has the handsome good looks and the nearly identical costume. But people like Tuskernini making a judge seem like I was merely bullying a reformed villain? Or some other costumed criminal callously creating chaos in my costume? Come on people,it's not that hard to figure out!Then again, that does explain a lot about mycurrent reputation amongst St. Canard's denizens.\"Freaky Friday\" Flip: A machine of mine accidentally swapped me and Gosalyn and Launchpad and Honker. And let me tell you, being stuck in the body of a child can really get in the way of crime fighting.Friendly Enemy: I actually get along reasonably well with Megavolt and Bushroot when we're not trying to defeat each other, at least well enough to make a truce inEnemy Minesituations; after all, Sparky and I go way back, and Bushyjust wants some buds to call his buddies.Future Me Scares Me: Gos once ran into an alternate future version of me called Darkwarrior Duck.Yeesh.The guy seriously needs some professional help.Gray-and-Grey Morality: I don't usually experience this since most of my rogues are outright villains, but I suppose I did go overboard with continuously callingNeptuniaevil, but hey, it was my first time dealing with aWell-Intentioned Extremist.Handicapped Badass: Whether blind, restricted to a wheelchair, cursed with bad luck, or turned into an old man, I still manage to save the day.Hero with Bad Publicity: This happens so much it's not even funny. The citizens of St. Canard simply don't respect my stylish, non-traditional image.Okay, so I don't wear a lot of bright colors and I make my rounds near midnight; I am still the superlative superhero in the city!Well, there was this one time Gosayln tried to help improve my image and make the city respect me more. And it was going fine until that nefarious ne're-do-gooder Negaduck swooped in and trashed everything I've worked for! Well, the joke was on him, for I quickly turned things around as the original, classic, and dashingly debonair Darkwing Duck the fans have come to expect, and sent him packing right into jail! Maybe yourChronic Backstabbing Disorderisn't such a good idea when there's more of them and only one of you Negsy!Heterosexual Life-Partners: I admit L.P. gets on my nerves sometimes.All right, a lot of the time.But after facing malevolent malefactors like Taurus Bulba, Paddywhack, and the Fearsome Five \u2014 not to mention the far trickier task ofraising Gosalynwhile keeping the neighborhood in one piece \u2014 together, it looks like we're in it for the long run.I Just Want to Be Special: This is pretty much the main reason I became Darkwing Duck on the first place; as Drake Mallard, I have to admit, I was a nobody, but the moment IJumped at the Call, I realized that, as Darkwing, I could make a difference, and people would actually notice me. Even now that I've reassumed my civilian identity to be a father to Gosalyn, I realize that a normal, civilian life doesn't fit me at all; just the idea of no longer doing my heroics has actually depressed me more than once.I Know Kung Fu: Or, more precisely, Quack Fu; and I'm quite good at it, mind you.I Work Alone: To satisfy my ego\u2026 ehem\u2026 uh\u2026 I mean, for everyone's else safety\u2026 I sometimes prefer to handle big cases on my own. Unfortunately, in those cases, Idoend up needing help to save the day.Impersonating the Evil Twin: More than once, I have posed as my devious doppelganger, Negaduck. And done myself proud, I might add. (So did he, but that's beside the point.)Informed Loner: Darkwing Duck relies on nobody but himself! Um... just don't look too closely at the... several people who tend to be associated with me.Last Disrespects: In the dream where I believed I was dead, I was chagrined to find that I was given a small, cheap cone with my picture on it as my tombstone.Let's Get Dangerous!:TheTrope Namer. Yep, yep, yep. This is what I say when I'm ready to stop getting pounded and crush my enemies into little pieces.Literal Split Personality: When I got zapped by Megavolt's tron splitter, I was split into my good and bad sides. Launchpad and Gosalyn had to team up with Megavolt not only to put me back together, but to stop my supercharged evil half from tearing St. Canard apart.Made of Iron: I can get smushed, squished, pummeled, and anything else the bad guy can do to me, but Darkwing Duck always emergessinged but triumphant!Magnetic Hero: Seriously, I don't know how I do it, but Ido!Multi-Armed and Dangerous: After being bitten by a mutant spider. It wasn't that bad... although#6 did drive me nuts!Multiple-Choice Past: My life prior to becoming a superhero is hard to understand. We have my Senior Prom where I became Darkwing Duck to stop Megavolt and the timemy future self inspired me as a child to become a hero, plus the time I spent learning martial arts from Goose Lee. The story of me being aSupermanExpyis completely fictional, however. What? All brilliant artists have to take some liberties with their creations.Must Have Caffeine: You really don't want to see me in the morning before I take a very good cup of coffee; and don't give me that look. If you were doing heroics all night, and then wake up very early in the morning to be a parent, you'd be the same.Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: I first became Darkwing Duck, improvising a name and outfit on the spot, because someone had to stop Megavolt when he first appeared and attacked our school's prom dance... Heh, so, thanks, Sparky.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: You know how bad Taurus Bulba must be when you see howterrifiedI am to see he survived the ramrod explosion.Papa Wolf: Don't touch Gos, I'm warning you.Part-Time Hero: At first, I was on the job full time, but now that I have an adopted daughter, I have to dial back a bit.Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite my smaller size, I can vanquish vile villains much larger than myself. Oh, yeah, Gos is like that, too.Pride: Who,me?Surely you jest!Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Let's. Get. Dangerous. The way I say the epicCatchphraseis just as important as the actual words.Purple Is Powerful: Just look at my awesome outfit! In no less than three shades!Red Oni, Blue Oni: Launchpad's laidback look contrasts quite sharply withmy more passionate personality. Oddly though, he wears red and I wear a purple (it's a bluish shade \u2014 close enough) coat with a blue shirt underneath it.Rogues Gallery: I've faced off with some of the most knavish and nasty ne'er-do-wells in the entireDisney Afternooncanon! They might strike fear into the hearts of ordinary citizens, but bringing them to justice is all in a day's work for yours truly.Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: This is why I work with SHUSH as a freelancer instead of a formal agent. I can't stand all of SHUSH's bureaucracy and rules, which really cramp my style. Luckily, J. Gander Hooter is smart enough to let me do things my way. This is also why I loathe that stuffed shirt Gryzlikof, Hooter's right-hand bear. Gryzlikof swears by the SHUSH rulebook, but the only use I've ever had for it was when I ripped it up to clog Ammonia Pine's vacuum cleaner to save him and Hooter.Secondary Color Nemesis:Oh you have it quite backwards. As you can see my suit is primarily purple, a color favored by felonious fiends fromstandardsuperhero stories, but I'm sure you're quite aware I'm on the side of justice by now. Funnily enough, a couple of my own foes\u2014such as that malicious malefactor, Megavolt, and the notorious ne'er-do-well, Negaduck\u2014are the ones whose fashion sense favors primary colors.Secret-Identity Identity: As I already said, being a masked hero used to be a full time job, to the point I no longer used my civilian identity, at least until I adopted Gosalyn.Shameless Self-Promoter: Shameless? Why should I be ashamed? I'm just making sure the public knows what it needs to know about its greatest hero \u2014 me.Shorter Means Smarter: I amquiteclever, thank you, no matter how tall I am \u2014 certainly a lot smarter than Launchpad (not that that means much).Smoke Out: A specialty of mine. Of course, I prefer using the smoke for my great dramatic entrances rather than escaping.Something Person: Darkwing Duck. I also followed this pattern when I became Teapot Duck and Arachnoduck.Superheroes Wear Capes: A brilliant purple cape which superbly sets off the rest of my crimefighting costume. It has occasionallyhit a few snags.Supernatural-Proof Father: I admit it took me quite a while to believe L.P. and Gos when they said there was something weird about that jack-in-the-box. Well, what do you expect? Gos had justbuzzedme on my keister earlier; of course I thought it was just her playing pranks!Superpower Silly Putty: Despite regularly being aBadass Normal, I sometimesdoend up with super powers:Super Speed, spider powers,Super Strength, growing into a giant, even got a super suit once. Interestingly, it was when I used my brains instead of the powers that I managed to save the day.Super Speed: I temporarily got this power when Negaduck blasted me with a proton accelerator. It was pretty handy, too bad it had the side effect of making me age rapidly.Swiss-Army Gun: My trademark Gas Gun; despite the name, it does a lot more than shooting gas and smoke cartridges. I can use it as aGrappling-Hook Pistol, or adapt it to use 'toony' weaponry, like cartoon bombs and boxing gloves.Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Whenever I have to work with thatObstructive Bureaucratat SHUSH, Agent Grizlikov.True Companions: With Launchpad and Gos, obviously, but also with Gos's best friend Honker Muddlefoot, who's got more common sense than the rest of his family put together. They've been with me through thick and thin, as we protect the good people of St. Canard from the fearsome and felonious fiends that threaten it!Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: I admit, it does look strange to my fanbase that I somehow have the resources to have everything from my gas gun to the Ratcatcher to the Thunderquack to my secret lair, all while maintaining my suburban house and provide for Gos, even though I don't seem to have any job besides saving St. Canard. With all that said, Iwaspaid for my work under S.H.U.S.H. until the money stopped flowing, making me get a job at Quackerworks.Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Splatter Phoenix once taunted me that I wouldn't hit her because she was a woman. Sadly, I had to agree \u2014but Gos (as the Quiverwing Quack) was there, and she was happy to do it for me. Other times I've found effective ways to fight female fiends without hitting them.You Are Grounded!: I say this to Gosalyn so often I could be aTrope Codifier. Ironically, the one time I did it when she hadn't done anything wrong (to try and protect her from Taurus Bulba) blew up in my face when it was what led to her being captured."} {"text": "Carlos Alazraqui.)Hmmm?

Either way, I'll humor you non-believers.My name's Denzel Crocker, fairy hunter extraordinaire! What? I am! Just because I never caught any FAIRIES, doesn't mean I'm not an expert in them.

Though I admit I love giving out \u201cF's\u201d in the most creative ways possible. Hehe, one of the few joys I get out of my miserable existence. -Ahem- But back to the matter, no one has taken me seriously in my quest to find FAIRIES, deeming me a loony. Oh but they're real, I know it. In fact one certain boy in my class by the name of Timmy Turner has them! Weird things always seem to go on around him and he ends up getting objects no boy of his lowly status would be able to afford! Plus my equipment shows he's lousy with FAIRY energy! If only I could get solid proof! But time and again I've been thwarted!

I don't really know what to tell them, but I guess I can give them the basics.My full name is Douglas Yancey Funnie, but everyone else calls me \"Doug\" for short. I go to Beebe Bluff Middle School, and I live in Bluffington with my parents, my older sister Judy, and my dog Porkchop.I wasn't born in Bluffington, however. When I was eleven-and-a-half, my family and I moved out of our home in Bloatsburg and into Bluffington because my dad got a job promotion there. I was very nervous, and I didn't know if I could make any friends. Luckily, when I went to the Honker Burger, I met some of the people who would stick with me for the rest of my life: my best friend Skeeter Valentine, my...other friendPatti Mayonnaise, and the school bully, Roger Klotz (who, funnily enough,has a pageon this site)..Since the first day I moved in, I saw a lot of things happen here in Bluffington. From the school dance at Bluffington Elementary, to Mrs. Dink being elected mayor, to that surprise party Roger threw for me to celebrate the one-year anniversry of me moving to Bluffington, a lot of crazy events have happened in Bluffington while I was still in sixth grade.Nearly everything in Bluffington changed when I went to middle school, however. Among other things, the Honker Burger closed down and was replaced by a French restaurant called \"Chez Honque\", Bluffington Elementary was torn down because of termites, andRoger got rich. At first, I was extremely nervous about going to middle school, especially since I was going to be one of the youngest kids over there. However, as the days passed, I settled in, and I even liked my new teachers. One of whom, Ms. Kristal, was my homeroom teacher and a very nice person (she ended up marrying Patti's dad, but that's a story for another day). That isn't to say my life didn't change beyond that, though. That year was when my baby sister Dirtbike was born. I know, it's a ridiculous name, but that's what I accidentally named her.But I don't want to leave you hanging, whoever you are.Here is a list of tropes that describe me:Author Avatar: Who is this \"Jim Jinkins\" person? I've never heard of him, and how am I an \"author avatar\" of him?Bad Boss: I may have overworked my friends during their business just so he could earn enough money to both pay my friends for their work and buy that new skateboard I wanted at the same time. At the end, though, I used all the money totake my friends to FunkyTown.Badass Adorable: Hey! Quailman's not adorable! He's cool!Badass Pacifist: My dad once told me that a man who resorts to violence is a man who ran out of ideas. I won a fight with Roger just by using the three qualities of the quail: patience, intelligence, and speed.Bad Liar: Well,I Have This Friendwho has some things he wants to discuss... can you tell me some stuff so I can tell him? It's not me, I swear!Berserk Button: Don't call my journal a diary, because it isn't one. I wonder howGreg Heffleyis doing with his journal..Beware the Nice Ones: Well, I'm mostly a nice guy. But if you do anything mean to me or my friends, you better watch out.Book Dumb: Well,I'm passing all of my classes, at least. I'm barely passing math, though.Born Lucky: What do you mean \"lucky\"? There are times I think that the world is out to get me! Then again, it may be me just stressing myself out over stuff...Break the Cutie: Two Christmases ago, Porkchop was about to be put down because he accidentally bit Beebe. Even today, the thought of me never seeing him again makes me cry...Butt-Monkey: Roger sometimes tries to get to me whenever he has the chance. Most of the time, he succeeds.Cannot Spit It Out: Me? Like-liking Patti? What are you talking about? Then again, she did take me out on a \"date-date\" not too long ago...Charlie Brown Baldness: What do you mean?! I'm not bald! I never have been! I just have short hair, that's all.Clear My Name: There were a few times where I was almost in trouble for something I didn't do. For example, Roger stole Mr. Bone's yodeling trophy and tried to pin the blame on me. Luckily, he accidentally came live on the school's PA system, and I got off scot-free.Clear Their Name: I spent that Christmas trying to clear Porkchop's name from being put down. I'm thankful I actually managed to prove he was innocent.Deadpan Snarker: I don't really get sarcastic much, but I have a tendency to snap back, especially towards Roger and Judy.Does Not Like Spam: I don't like liver and onions.Embarrassing Middle Name: My middle name is \"Yancey\". I already told the school guidance counselor that I hate it, but he keeps telling me to embrace it.Everyone Has Standards: I don't like being bullied, especially by Roger. But when Percy Femur showed up and tried to cream Roger, I just couldn't stand there and watch him about to get pulverized.First Kiss: Believe it or not, it was Beebe Bluff. She didn't want to be my girlfriend, however.Guile Hero: Well, I try not to use violence when I can, so I just use my wits.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Well, Skeeter's my best friend since I moved.I Have This Friend: And he wants to know what the best way to impress a girl is... It's not me. Someone else.The Illegible: At least Roger isn't able to read my journal.Insistent Terminology: It's a journal, not a \"diary\".Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films: Well, I may like horror movies, but they always scare the living heck outta me.Limited Wardrobe: Well, actually, I have the same sets of white t-shirts, green sweater vests, and khaki shorts.Love at First Sight: Oh, Patti you're the pickle in my coleslaw... Patti you're the sugar in my tea- I-I'm sorry...Was I rambling again?? Oh no...Na\u00efve Newcomer: The day I moved to Bluffington, I explored the town and met the people who would eventually become my friends.\u2014And there you have it. There's my list of tropes. The lesson I learned here is that you can learn a lot about a person from what they tell you. Some good, some bad, but at least you can get to know them a little better if you just ask."} {"text": "Ruin-Your-Life-Inator!This page is best read in the voice of Dan Povenmire or German Fabregat.\u266bDoofenshmirtzTV Tropes Page Descriptiooooooooon!\u266bAh, Perry the Platy\u2014wait... you're not Perry the Platypus.Hmm... well, as long as you're here, I might as wellmonologueto you instead.And by the way, you are now trapped... by this article! You see, I have been studying this websiteTV Tropes, and what I have learned is that pages like these will distract youforever!They make you obsess over the various tropes and intricacies of fiction, open twenty different tabs at once, get stuck editing pagesall night, and overall be unable to direct your attention away, and thusyour life will be ruined!!Or at least, that's what happened to me.So yeah, you're now trapped. Go on, keep reading and wasting your life. Here, I'll even activate the \"Read-This-Page-In-My-Voice-Inator\" to make it easier.Let me tell you more about myself. I am one of the main characters ofPhineas and Ferb. My name is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, but my friends call me... uh... anyhoo, that's not important. Contrary to what people say,I am not a pharmacist!I am an evil scientist, and mark my words: I shall soon take over...the entire!! TRI-STATE AREA!!!HAHAhahahahaha...noteOh, and slight disclosure, I am not in any way, shape, or form related to thatRe Destroguy, nor is he actually me transformed by a Handsome-Inator into a muscular hunk. I know a lot of people think he's me, and trust me, I get it. Heck, if he makes one of these articles, he'll tell you himself!You might be wondering, \"Why would he do this? Why would he trap an innocent little troper like me? What could he possibly hope to gain?What emotionally scarring backstory could possibly have made him so terrifically evil?\" Well, to help you understand, I think I should tell you a little about mychildhood.It all began back in Gimmelshtump on the day of my actual birth.Neither of my parents bothered to show up.And my family was so poor that our beloved lawn gnome was repossessed. So day and night, I had to work as a lawn gnome. One day, I learned my parents were expecting a brand new baby girl. My mother spent months knitting pretty dresses. Unfortunately, the baby turned out to be a boy. Because we were out of material, I was forced to wear those same dresses for an entire year, drawing mockery and scorn from all of my manly classmates. Andoooh, my brother Roger. He wasalwaysmy mother's favorite. You see, her love was inexplicably linked to kickball, and Roger was an expert at it.My social life was, to say the least, a soul-shattering void. On my fifth birthday, I had to throw my own surprise party. A bully named Boris was always kicking sand in my face, and a girl named Grulinda would always pour water on my head. At one point, my parents even disowned me, and I had to beraised by wild ocelots.When I was sixteen, my parents kicked me out and sent me off on the greatest adventure of my life! I was heading to a golden land of opportunity; a land with a pioneering spirit which welcomed misfits like me... but I ended up inAmerica instead.My love life there was disappointing. At one point, I dated a girl named Linda. It didn't turn out well, but she was the one who gave me the idea to take over the Tri-State Area! I eventually married a girl named Charlene, and hada baby girl named Vanessa. Unfortunately, Charlene and I got divorced due to different interests. Specifically, I was interested in a tomato sock puppet, and she wasn't.Mr. Tomato:You know, it wasn't me she didn't like.Shut up! But on the bright side, Charlene still regularly gives me alimony checks, which turned out to be useful for funding all myevil inventions.After all I had been through, I finally decided totruly pursue evil. Thus began my career as an evil scientist!But one day, when I was getting my picture taken, I met my nemesis: the secret agent Perry the Platypus.

I'll prove it to you; I'll go overprotect Vanessa and show her what a great camper I am!Ambiguously Evil:NO!I am evil!

I'd have it removed, but the doctors say it's too close to an artery to operate.Arch-Enemy: Perry the Platypus is a suave, semi-aquatic personification of unstoppable dynamic fury.

Both titanium.Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: I have an evil reputation to protect, you know! I once was out of evil ideas, so I decided to create a good-idea-inator to give me a good idea. But since I'm evil, I made a bad-idea-inator instead... but that didn't really work out either.Berserk Button:DO NOT sabotage my self-destruct buttons. Those are important!DO NOT attack Perry the Platypus. He ismynemesis.And whatever you do,don't mess with my daughter.Big Bad: I technically am the main source of evil and conflict in this show.

TRI-STATE AREA!!Birthday Hater: Well, neither of my parents showed up for my birth. And on my fifth birthday, I had to throw my own surprise party. So... yeah.Bond Villain Stupidity: One time I cuffed Perry the Platypus to a table with a laser slowly moving towards him. I got that idea froma movie, but never saw how it ended. It seemed fool-proof at the time though, but somehow he escaped!Born Unlucky: Well, both of my parents failed to show up for my birth, so...Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: Well, if you have to call me a goodanything, \"father\" is one of the few things I can't say no to.Breakout Villain: Yeah, it turns out I'm from a show that's supposed to be about two boys building wacky inventions they use to have fun in summer, and the whole thing about me trying to take over the Tri-State-Area was the subplot. But look who walked out of here with a web show, a Twitter account, and a personalized TikTok! They love me! They really love me!Bungling Inventor: Hey, all my inators work! It's just that, you know, I... I don't use them properly.Bumbling Dad: I once took Vanessa to a baseball game, and I caught a foul ball inside the field wall for her! I don't see why everyone was so upset...wait, that counts as an out? How was I supposed to know that! I'm an evil scientist, not a baseball expert!Butt-Monkey: Sometimes, it feels like the universe is making jokes at my expense, from the moment I was born.

Really!Character Blog: I have aTwitterand aYoutube Channel.The Chew Toy: Ugh. SeeIron Butt Monkey.Child Prodigy: As a child, I created my first inator for aScience Fair.

But for some reason, it kept on losing to a baking soda volcano!Cloudcuckoolander: Well, I do admit I tend to babble on a bit.The Cuckoo Lander Was Right: In theGrand Finale, I came up with a plan to take over the tri-state area by building an inator that created a governor position for the tri-state area that I would run for and win because I was running unopposed. And I was right!Conspiracy Placement: My building has its own evil Jingle!Contractual Genre Blindness: Well, I have to follow the routine! Where's the fun otherwise? I trap Perry the Platypus, I monologue to him, he escapes, and then the chase is on!

They aren't designed to catch anything else.Cut Lex Luthor a Check:In \"Backyard Hodge Podge\", I started receiving royalty checks for my technology being used in eye checkups. But I absolutelyhatethe idea of my inventions being used for good.But I am OK with gaining money in a legitimate way as long as I can damage people in any other way. Like selling band-aids legally, but using an inator to papercut people.One time I wanted to open my own all you can eat buffet and created an inator to make myself extremely hungry and bankrupt the rest. When someone noticed I ate tons of food without gaining weight, he said I'd make millions selling this inator as a diet implement. What a stupid idea!I actually madean appearance on Shark Tank once.I tried to market my Shrink-inator. It... didn't end well.Dark and Troubled Past: My childhood.Dastardly Whiplash:Although I don't have a mustache or hat (and wear a lab coat like aMad Scientist), I seem to have some traits that fit this: exaggerated nose and chin, hunched posture, elaborate schemes, and over-the-top mannerisms.My historical counterpart at the Danville World Fair, however, more than makes up for it by having the mustache and the predilection for tying nemeses to train tracks.Deadpan Snarker: Sometimes I do this. But can you blame me?The world just doesn't make sense!Determinator: Perry the Platypus may have beaten me and thwarted my plans all summer long, but I am not stopping now!

My doctors keep thinking I'm crazy when I go to get medical treatment!Disproportionate Retribution: I don't get what's the big deal! Look, Boris always kept kicking sand in my face when I was a child. Was it really too much to try and dump sand all over his house?Distaff Counterpart: Some say Professor Poofenplotz is this to me.

Clearly I'm not all that dumb.Does Not Like Spam: I find rice pudding gross.Doting Parent: To Vanessa.Drives Like Crazy: Look, it's not my fault the Drusselstein driving test is the worst course ever designed! I can usually drive just fine!Embarrassing Old Video: Ugh... there was one where I was skating... in my underwear... into a toilet. They even made a remix.Norm: It's got ten billion hits!

You know how hard a decent one is to come by?Even Evil Has Standards:Taking over the world is crazy! And why destroy the Tri-State area? You have nothing to take over! I don't see whythose two talking miceput so much effort into an impossible task, let alonethe other guy that uses machines against a blue anthropomorphic animal.Aloyse Von Roddenstein's scheme to destroy summer and put the world in perpetual winter was just insane, alright?!* Evil GloatingEvil Is Hammy: Well, duh!

Mind-controlling pigeons to poop on myalways better brotherwas pure genius!Evil Laugh: I have an absolutely grand maniacal laugh!HAHAHahahahaha...Evil Plan: I have a lot of these, and need to explain them carefully to Perry the Platypus.Failure Is the Only Option: On rare occasions I successfully achieve my goals (making a mountain out of the mole hill and getting rid of the lighthouse), but otherwise, either Perry the Platypus foils me in traditional fashion, or there's aMeaningless Villain Victory... but hey, if it was easy, then everyone would rule the Tri-State area! And then we'd be forced to, I don't know, decide rules by voting or something.Failed a Spot Check: What is it with you people claiming I always fail to notice Perry the Platypus when he's not wearing a hat? I notice him just fine! Like this random platypus in my building! It's just...wait, a platypus?(Perry the Platypus puts on his fedora)PERRYTHE PLATYPUS?! Hey, get off my page, would you? I'm kind of in the middle of something here! Go bug thattalking candlestickorthat slug ladyfrom the company meeting!

I just can't, you know, use them properly.Gonk: Crooked teeth... long nose... used as counterpart to theWicked Witchin theThe Wizard of Ozparody...brilliant.Good Parents: My parents weren't exactly the most attentive, so I certainly want to be this to Vanessa!The Grinch:Inverted, actually. I hate every holidayexceptChristmas (and Halloween). My Christmas wish was to find a reason to hate Christmas so that I could destroy it with proper villainous enthusiasm. It's eventually granted.Which ironically also gave me reason to celebrate the holiday anyway.Harmless Villain: Well, if by harmless you mean not inflicting any actual harm, then... yes.Heel\u2013Face Turn: Some of you viewers who have seen \"Last Day of Summer\" say thatafter a heart to heart with Vanessa, she willdeconstructmy character and say I'm a good guy acting bad due to his childhood and I'm not really happy being evil.That's a funny idea, but I assure you that I am evil!I AM!!I do end up being remembered as a hero for inventing time travel, though, so there's that.* Herr DoktorHilariously Abusive Childhood: Well, I don't find it hilarious!Hoist by His Own Petard: Somehow, even the schemes that Perry the Platypus does not interfere in end up failing.Hostile Show Takeover: I once tried to give theMilo Murphy's Lawopening a go.It did not end well.Impossible Shadow Puppets: Oh, I'm good at this.Improbable Weapon User: I often a bunch of randomImprovised Weaponsduring my fights with my nemesis.Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: One time I used a potted plant as aCompanion Cubewhen Perry the Platypus didn't show up. The plant somehow thwarted me, and theO.W.C.A.made the plant an agent in honor of this feat. Not my best moment...Insane Troll Logic: I once made an inator that turned eggs into dodo eggs because dodos are like dinosaurs. You know, cause both dodos and dinosaurs were extinct.

And my songs tend to have a full Broadway-style kick line backin' me up!!Literal-Minded: Some of my schemes include using Norm the Giant Robot Man against Perry the Platypus, because \"The enemy of a platypus is man.\", making literal mountains out of literal molehills and leaving a giant carbon footprint witha giant foot made out of carbon paper. One time I painted myself green to be a better gardener, until I realized that \"green thumb\" was just a metaphor.Somehow, the green paintmissed my thumbs.Mad Libs Catch Phrase: \"Why, Perry the Platypus, how [Negative Verb Form], and by [Negative Verb Form] I meancompletely [Positive Verb Form]!\"Mad Scientist: Actually, it'sevilscientist.Get it right.ManchildMeaningful Name: Apparently, the name \"Doofenshmirtz\" loosely translates to \"stupid pain\" in German. I don't blame my parents though.Meaningless Villain Victory: This sometimes happens.Meta Guy: I'm fully aware of theFourth Wall.

I just slump around the Hundred Acre Wood, eating thistles and watching clouds go by. Not much else to say about me, since I'm not all that interesting. Oh, well. Might as well just sit back and let the day play out like it is.Wait, you're still here. You sure you want to hear more about me?Alright, but it's not very interesting.I'm a donkey who lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, under a little pile of sticks I call my home. It's not much, but it gives me shelter. Most of my days, when Christopher Robin isn't around, I usually hang around with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and occasionally Gopher. Not that they ever notice me...Oh, and there was something about being made by a guy named A.A. Milne. Then somebody namedWalt Disneycame along andmade me more famous.Like I said, there's not much to tell...But, if you want, I do have an entire list of tropes that apply to me down below. Go ahead and read them. If you want. I don't care...Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: These days, people remember that I have a bow on my tail. Which I always lose. But it's okay; someone will find. Eventually.Adaptational Nice Guy: I'm told that the version of me from the booksisn't as nice. That's too bad. I would have liked to have someone to talk to.The Big Guy: I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang, but I am pretty big for my size. Bigger than even Pooh after he's had too much honey. He's probably stuffed himself silly again.Birthday Episode: Pooh and Piglet once spent my entire birthday giving me presents. That's awfully nice of them. Thanks for noticing me...The Chew Toy: Nothing ever seems to go right for me. But that's okay; I just take it like it is.Civilized Animal: I'm not like some of those other guys on this website. I at least live in a home.Deadpan Snarker: Maybe it's just me, but I just see things as they are. Like the timelost Christopher Robin's very important papers. It washisfault. Not a smidge.Demoted to Extra: Not that I'm surprised by this. It seems that the rest of the world gets along fine without me. Sure,they let mehave some moments, but otherwise,they just leave me out. Oh, well.The Eeyore:Thanks for naming a trope after me...Flat Joy: I don't always get excited. Not that I have any reason to be excited.Five Temperament Ensemble: I'm always gloomy.Hidden Depths: I've always wanted to be happy. But when I try,the others don't seem to like it. Figures...being happy never seems to get me anywhere. But that's just how it is.Hypochondria: Given how I am, I'm probably gonna catch a cold.Inconsistent Coloring: Nobody seems to know if I'm blue or grey. It's okay. It doesn't really matter...Jerkass: Book-me is definitely one. I almost feel sorry for him. That could be me, but I don't have any reason to be mean. Besides, we haveRabbitfor that...Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I'm not always in a happy mood, but my friends matter to me the most. Not that they know that, mind you...Jumping-to-Conclusions Diagnosis: If anyone gets a cold, I'm probably gonna catch it too.A Lizard Named \"Liz\": Christopher Robin says my name is what a donkey sounds like. I've never heard another donkey say that, so I'll just have to take his word for it.Odd Friendship: Tigger may be the wildest bunch of the Hundred Acre Wood gang, but he's the best friend I could have. Beggars can't be choosers...Only Sane Man: Sometimes I end up like this for no good reason. That's what you get when you have friends who aren't always paying attention.Punny Name: Like I said, I'm named after a donkey sound. I don't get it, but it's okay...The Stoic: Nothing at this point could surprise me. I just take it like it is. Even if bad things happen.Surrounded by Idiots: Book-me thinks this of everyone else. I'm not upset about it; somedays I feel like that too. But I wouldn't change Pooh and the others. They're just special the way they are. Too bad they'll never know...Trademark Favorite Food: Thistles. Just plain old thistles. It's not much, but they taste pretty good. It's one of the few certainties in life...Vocal Evolution: Over the years, I've sounded a lot deeper thanks to somebody calledPeter Cullen. I used to just sound sad, but when he voiced me, I got a lot deeper. Come to think of it, his voicesounds familiar. Not that anyone will notice...noteStarscream: Oh, but I do...When He Smiles: Sometimes, I don't know what comes over me, but I give off a big old smile.

My name isEric Cartmanand I kick ass! Why? Because I did a bunch of shit that you won't be able to do. I starred in my ownstory arc with the \"Coon\"where I teamed up withthe Dark Lord Cthulhu, Imade Scott Tenorman eat his own parentsover $16.12, I successfully stoppedOsama bin Ladenfrom taking over the world by usingwild takesand all thatcartoon crap, and I starred in a Cheesy Poofs commercial! I also helped stop thewar between Canada and the United Stateswith my slaves Kahl, Stan, and that British dude I don't give a crap about. (Oh, and that one wasa musical, butI don't know why either.)Wait. Did I mention the time I became the Grand Wizard of Kupa Keep and first helped lead Microsoft to victory during the Console Wars (though that didn't end as hoped), thenhelped some kid named Douchebag (I named him) along on his quest for the Stick of Truth? (Oh, and get theGrand Wizard Editionof that game. It comes withan awesome figure of yours truly.) Oh yeah, andDouchebag's later joined me and the guys again for a game of superheroes, it was totally fucking sweet. I'm also a fierce supporter ofColorado's ownDenver Nuggetsandmy workplace'sLos Angeles Kings, which even let mespend a day withThe Stanley Cup!Anyway, this ismyvery own page on the wiki. Anyone can help me edit, as long as you're not Jewish, black, brown, yellow, red, gay,bisexual, transginger, a hippie, a communist, Buddhist, Muslim,Jewish, a Scientologist, Kyyyinny, Kahl, Kahl's mom, my mom,Seth MacFarlane, a ginger,a Jerseyite,Justin Bieber, Scott Tenorman, Wendy Testaburger,ClydeDonovan,CraigTucker,James Cameron,Barbra Streisand- Wikipedia, a government worker, a senior citizen,Jewish, a zombie, a Nazi Zombie (regular Nazis are fine),fat, a fat shammer,PewDiePie, PC Principal, my ex-girlfriendHeidi Turner, Butters orJewish. There. Got all that?You seriouslah better not edit this page if you'reJewish.And you'd better shut yer yapper if ya don't want yer ass handed to ya!The following tropes apply to me, myself, and I, Eric Cartman:Acrofatic: What!? I'm not fat! I'm just big-boned! And so is that menace to society, the Coon! How the hell would he be able to scale entire buildings if he was a slobby fatass? Oh, and about that time I caused the entire class to fail a fitness test?It was ''their'' fault.Anti-Hero:I was this before Scott Tenorman decided to push my buttons by selling me his pubes for $16. After that, I decided to be acomplete dickto him and everyone else. But hey! The world deserves it! Though I have softened up a bit lately, and am evenin charge of all the good guysinThe Stick of Truth.Then there was that time when a hippie music festival invaded South Park, and I saved the town by driving the hippies away with death metal. I even bargained with the adults so that I got a new Tonka radio-controlled bulldozer and got to play with it in the skewl parking lot where Kahl had to watch me and get super-jealous because he doesn't have one! It was a sweet victory!Animal-Themed Superbeing: The Coon may dress up as a raccoon, but his vigilantism has no place in this world; he's a menace.But he's obviously really kewl!Arch-Enemy:Kahl Broflovski. That fucking prick is always preaching about what I'm doing is wrong and how I only care about myself and then he's always trying to stop my plans. And on top of that, he's a fucking Jew. And a ginger. And he recently turned out to be fromJerseytoo.There is also Wendy Testaburger. That liberal bitch is always trying to fuck me over. she gave me aNo Holds Barred Beat Downwhen I made fun of Breast Cancer, gave my idea of \"Dancing With Smurfs\" to James Cameron and let that fucking prick change the name toAvatar, ruined my plan of getting my own bathroom by changing into a guy and using it, and made me the ugliest kid in skewl in place ofKahl, when she found the real list. I only hate her less than Kahl cause she's not a Jew or a ginger or from Jersey and we wereattracted to each other once.There's also Mysterion, AKA Kyyyinny McCormick, who's always trying to prove he's better than me when it comes to being a superhero. Not only that but he also said that I'm not an actual superhero because I'm only making the world a better place for me. Uh,That's what superheroes do!However they all pale in comparison to my ultimate nemesis, Scott Tenorman! He's an absolute asshole whoconned me of my $16 with his pubes so I decided to get back at him by feeding him his own parents in the form of chili.It seemed I had the last laugh, then that motherfucker showed up and revealed to me and the world that my father was his father whom I killed and fed to. That means I'm Half Ginger. HALF GINGER!! Although this is mitigated in that I'm also half Denver Bronco, which is pretty kewl. Anyway, he managed to escape me for now, but make no mistake I will have my revenge onSCOTT. FUCKING. TENORMAN!Ass Kicks You: This one time, while I was Sumo wrestling with Craig, teaching him how to fight and stuff, I totally kicked his ass by literally usingmyass! And he cried like a little girl! Even though I'm all buff and stuff and don't have an ounce of fat on me, sensei said with the power of my ass, I should consider Sumo wrestling.Attention Whore: And I fuckingdeserveyour attention!Audience Surrogate: Sometimes when I getA Day in the Limelight. Usually Kahl or Stan are this, but when they aren't around, who else is going to react the way you guys would to all that weird shit that happens in South Park?Ax-Crazy: Come on, what's wrong with wanting to kill some people once in a while? Like the time I killed Scott Tenorman's parents and fed them to him? Or when I teamed up with Cthulhu and killed all the hippies, Jews, gaysandJustin Bieber?Author Avatar: One ofthe dudes upstairs(the one who does my sucky voice \u2014 seriouslah, dude, I should sound better than that!) apparently shares some of my views, like howFamily Guyis one of the worst fucking cartoons ever, or how gingers have no souls.Batman Gambit: I pulled a truly epic one in \"Scott Tenorman Must Die!\".Be Careful What You Wish For: When I began living in a hot dog, I only wanted to move back to my former house. But then one day after Butters forced me into taking a job at an ice cream store, I decided to turn that hot dog into my own personal paradise: DikinBaus. (Hehe, DikinBaus...) But then Mem and Butters fucked me by selling it under my back and forced me back into that shitty home! GODDAMNIT I WANT DIKINBAUS!DIKINBAUS!!!!!!Big Bad: It sure is nice to be the bad guy. Especially when I was the Coon and got to team up with theDark fucking LordCthulhu.Berserk Button: There's many things that pisses me off like Jews, hippies,and Jewish hippies. But to start off...Don't you dare compare me to that fucking hackSeth Macfarlaneand that fucking show of his.How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not fucking fat!Big Eater: I love me some pie, KFC, and Cheesy Poofs, and goddammit you can't have any!Big Brother Mentor: Yeah, believe it or not,during my time as Grand Wizard, I taught Douchebag (who some of you know just as the New Kid or evenDovahkiin) everything he knows about how to fight and even some of what he knows aboutmagicand I'll admit I've been a hell of alot more respectful and friendlier toward him than I have with the rest of Kupa Keep. Kahl would no doubt make you thinkI'm just using Douchebag for my own gain, but you'd be smart not to listen to anything that fucking lying Jewish Elf says.Bizarre Taste in Food: What?! Chocolate chicken pot pies, powdered donut pancake surprise and chocolate toaster pastry butterballs are real foods, and they're totally awesome! Whateva! I do what I want!Boisterous Weakling:I am not weak, and I'll kick your ass if you\u2014AHHH! (trips and falls on his face) MEEEEEEMMMMMM!Boob-Based Gag:I had a surgery to give myself fake boobs. They were originally planned for Mom, but she is acting crazy since we moved to the hot dog and refused to go along with my plan to get us out of the hot dog stand. Just to clarify, this was not a choice!Breakout Character: Originally, I was just thatBig-Boned Kidsharing the spotlight with those other guys, but I turned out to be so much kewler than them that I became the most popular character on the show! I mean who's your favorite character?(imitating high-pitched stupid voice: Oh, I dunno, is it Stan? is it Kahl?)Wrong! It'sme!Broken Pedestal: Ha! you better believe theNew Kidused to really hold me on a pedestal! They thought of me as a great friend and mentor. They could easily tell you themself! (at least they would ifthey started talking).BUT! New Kid suddenly decided they didn't want anything to do with me anymore, all because they thoughtIwas Mitch Conner, the crime boss who kidnapped their parents, come on, New Kid!you of all people should know I'm not him!Butt-Monkey: It's not fair!I am the nicest kid in the worldand all thisbad shit happens to me for no good reason!Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them:I threw a party when Kahl moved away, but then I had to deal with Butters and he makes a crappy replacement Jew! (Seriouslah, he's not even Jewish!) And then there was the time Kahl saved me and Dogpoo after Snooki raped us. So I guess he's good for something.Also Kyyyinny. I hate him too, but if he's not around, then I can't make fun of him for being poor anymore. And because it makes ME the poorest kid in skewl!Catchphrase: I've got a few;\"Screw You Guys, I'm going home!\"\"Suck my balls!\"\"I'll kick you in the nuts!\" or \"I'll kick you squah in the nuts!\"Cool House: I used to live in DikinBaus, which was lame until I redecorated it, but Butters and mom decided to fuck me over and sold it under my back in order to move me to my former shittier house.The Corrupter: I manipulatedmy former girlfriend Heidiinto being just like me! Unfortunately, Imayhave made a mistake in doing that...Crazy Homeless Person: I bet KAHL paid you to say that I will end like this!Dirty Coward: I am not a coward!When I start I fight will got at to my last breath!Disproportionate Retribution:NO, killing Scott Tenorman's parents, chopping them up, putting them into chili, and feeding them to him was NOT disproportionate retribution! It was a very VALID retribution after the ASSHOLE stole SIXTEEEN DOLLARS AND TWELVE CENTS and BURNED IT ALL RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Goddamn it, I fucking HATE SCOTT TENORMAN!I poisoned Billy's lunch milk and told him that the only way he could get the cure is that he could hacksaw his leg, all because he called me chubby.Does Not Like Spam: Why else did I team up with Cthulhu to destroy that organic crap factory that is Whole Foods?Ironically, when PC Principal first became principal of my skewl, he and Stan's dad had Whole Foods brought to our town, and not once had I complained about it throughout the entire season, even when its presence made it too expensive for anyone to live there.Elimination Catch Phrase: So you didn't have what it takes to replace Kyyyinny in our group, did ya? To that, I say... \"Get the fudge out!\"Even Evil Has Standards:Shooting people in the dick, Butters? What the hell?! THAT'S WRAAAAAAUNG!! I also can't stand cats being tortured, minorities, yes, but never cats!Those Super Adventure Club guys are just fucking sick! I have done a lot of stuff to people, but I was just as horrified by those pedophile freaks as everyone else was. And let's not even get started with my brief stint with NAMBLA!Kyyyinny getting high is just wrong so I tried to stop him.I was also completely willing to give the pangolin to the scientist for a COVID-19 cure, only for that god dammed prick President Garrison to show up and burn those two alive with his flamethrower!When everybody at skewl saw Tweek constantly going mental, even I wondered what the hell his parents do to him.Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: What do you mean I can't understand being nice?! I wore a nice sweater didn't I? I also don't get why the others felt remorse after we framed Butters for TP'ing the art teacher's house, we got away with it didn't we?Evil Is Hammy: Disagree with the \"large\" part, but agree that I'm deliciously mean!Farts on Fire:One time, I couldn't stop farting fire out of my ass. It was really goddamn painful. The other guys say the fire was shot out from a malfunctioning anal probe that some aliens inserted into my ass for some kinda\"Truman Show\" Plot, but I sayit was all those extra spicy tamales Chef made.Now, I used to think this was bullcrap that only happened in \"Terrance And Phillip,\" so Kyyyinny bet me a hundred bucks that he could do it. And he showed that, yes, youcanlight a fart on fire. Who knew? Then the dumbass lithimselfon fire and burned to death, which was pretty sweet, 'cause that meant I didn't need to pay him.Fat Bastard: Hey, fuck you! I'm not fat, I'm \u2014 *ahem* I mean, this trope issubverted. I may be a bastard, and boy do I love being one, but I'm not fat. At all. Ever. I'm just big-boned.Capische?The Friend No One Likes: Those other guys can't stand me because they know I'm so much better than they are. That's fine, 'cause I don't like them either!Future Loser:Where the hell did you get the idea that I'm going to grow up to be a crappy mechanic? Because I told that one butthole off who claimed he was my future self? Screw you and screw him! That was just a trick by those assholes at Motivation Corp after I smeared poop all over their walls!Apparently, this is averted and my real future is to get a hot wife, kewl, and become a...Jewish rabbi?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BULLCRAP?!!Okay, looks like that was false. My real,realfuture is to be...some poor homeless drunk?! KAHL, SERIOUSLAH, HAVE YOU BEEN MESSING WITH MY TROPE PAGE?! I am going to kick you in thenutsfor this!Groin Attack: Don't piss me off or else I'll kick you in the nuts!I Am Big Boned: I'm also getting in shape. In fact, I am buff. Festively plump, even. I just haven't grown into my body yet. But it's a sweet hockey body. In the end, no matter how you slice it, I am in no way fat. You can't slim down bones, stupid. BEEFCAKE!Jerkass: I was the fuckin' PAGE IMAGE for that trope for a REEEEASON!Jerkass Has a Point:A lot of viewers agree with me when I said thatFamily Guyis a piece of shit.When the town outlawed cats, I was the only person to acknowledge that the cats were innocent creatures who didn't do anything wrong.Karmic Butt-Monkey: Oh fuck you, TV Tropes! I bet Kahl paid you in Jew Gold to make that trope!Last-Name Basis: All the other kids except for Butters just call me Cartman. Only Butters and adults call me Eric. I'm kewl with it either way.Just don't call me fat!!!Manipulative Bastard: Remember the time I pretended I was Butters on the phone and cussed out his parents, and they came home and kicked his ass? Ah, good times. I wish you could bottle that feeling. And the time I convinced him the world ended so I could go to Casa Bonita instead of him? And then I almost got a Family Guy episode pulled except then that stupid Jew Kahl showed up and ruined everything!Metaphorgotten: While I was arguing about taking a moral stand on issues back when me and the guys had our own start-up company, Kahl claimed that I mix up NFL players molesting little boys and Catholic Church clergymen beating up their wives in an elevator. I say they're the same thing!The Napoleon: Who are you calling short, dickhead?! I'll kick your ass!Narcissist: Seeing how the world really does revolve around me and what I want, can youreallycall me a narcissist? I mean, can youreally? I mean, I was once bullied by some psychotic TV dog trainer into entertaining the laughable thought that just maybe it wasn't the case, and... Uh... And... And... And I... I-I, uh... Huh. Funny thing, really. I can't seem to remember much of that experience... Why is my nose bleeding?Official Couple: Guess what, bitches? I once had a girlfriend, and her name wasHeidi Turner! I loved her so fucking much and I'm PISSED THAT SHE BROKE UP WITH ME!!!Oh, Crap!: When I found that Kahl's mom wasRight Behind Meat the end of my song where I called her a big, fat, fucking bitch.Pet the Dog: When I learned that Chef was returning after an unexplained absence, I wanted to see him. Chef was kewl, and I was the first to suggest he might have survived falling off a cliff.There's also the times whereI took the New Kidunder my wing. I'm always the first to welcome them into the fold and I'm the one who forged them into the badass they've become.Can you really be surprised they're among the few people who rightly respect me?Well at least they used too....I love my cat, sowhen the town outlawed cats to keep people from getting high, I hid him up my attic to make sure he wouldn't get taken away, and gradually I started hiding even more cats.Because no living thing should be forced to hide our of fear of persecution.I was moved by Stan's speech about being fed up with the fucking COVID-19 pandemic and him breaking into tears.I also saved Kahl and his entire family (yes, even Super Bitch Sheila) from being killed by San Francisco choking on its own smug. Picking on Butters wasn't nearly as much fun as winding up Kahl.I actually hit it off with Stan's older sister Shelley and we fucked up her ex-boyfriend. What was a twenty-year old guy doing dating a twelve-year old girl, anyway?I've been fighting for years to protect my town from hippies. I'll even do free door-to-door consultations to help homeowners get rid of any hippies infesting their property. The mass hippie festival was a close call, though.Police Brutality: One time, I took over policing duties while Barbrady was learning how to read. And in that time, I taught everyone to RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!Politically Incorrect Villain: I just don't like Jews, and I'm not a fan of Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics either! Nowadays, since this doesn't work well, I've decided to try being PC.PSYCH! Ha-ha-ha!Pretty Fly for a White Guy: When I was trying to find out who my real Dad was, I dressed like a hip-hop rapper and used \"Black\" speech after I thought that Chef was my father. And this actually wasn't me being racist for once-I really did think I was half-Black. Thank Christ I dodged that bullet...Red Is Violent: I wear a red jacket and can kick anyone's asses when provoked.Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Whenever the guys are pissin' me off or acting lamer than usual, I just give 'em the old \"Screw you guys, I'm going home.\"Secret Chaser: Back when the Coon first started his career and tried to raise awareness, this butthole calling himself Mysterion showed up and stole the glory. I suspected that someone in my class was Mysterion, since I told everyone about the Coon earlier that day. I still remember these words I uttered during my investigation: \"Why do you have a picture of Mysterion in your locker, Kyyyinny? ...Unless youareMysterion!\" Well, guess what, you guys? I WAS RIGHT!! That poor piece of crap deserved to be sent juvenile hall for being a copycat! Who cares if all the other kids had pictures of him in their lockers? The point is moot now!Self-Fanservice: I have many adoring anime fangirls who rightfully draw me as thehandsome, skinny pretty boy that I am. But as forthat other thing they do with me and Kahl... well,fuck. Just readthis thing that I wrote. (At least Kyyyinny seemed to enjoy the whole thing, so the dudes upstairs decided to let him be abona fide Japanese princess. Don't ask why he wanted to be a chick too, it's just how he seemed to be rolling then.)Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: What the fuck do you mean my recent actions are gonna cause me to become a hobo?!Sharing a Body: For a while, Kyyyinny's soul was stuck in my body because his parents were too poor to give him a proper burial and his ashes looked like chocolate milk mix. It sucked balls having him inside me and I eventually had to get him out before my time ran out (whatever that means), but I did at least learn where the stupid asshole hid the ticket for the candy store shopping spree.Shock and Awe:Well, I got this V-chip doohickey stuck inside me after I called Kahl's mom a bitch (in song!) and itjust so happened to malfunction just in time for me to electrocute the everloving shit out of Saddam Husseinbyswearing. Here's a taste of how I did it:Me:\"Fuck, shit, cock, ass, titties, boner, bitch, muff, pussy, cunt, butthole, Barbra Streisand!!\"[electrocutes Saddam Hussein]I've also kept this ability during thattime we were playing fantasy and I worked with Douchebag.Signature Song: I once came up with the best Christmas song ever, it's about how Kahl's mom is a stupid bitch, come onsing along everyone! *ahem*\u266b Weeeeeellll,Kahl's mom's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world, she's a stupid bitch, if there ever was a bitch, she's a bitch to- \u266bGod damn it I told you to sing ALONG!Sir Swears-a-Lot: My swearing can even beweaponized!Son of a Whore: HAIY! You will take that back RIGHT NYAH, or I will kick you in the nuts! My Mem isnota whore, she didnotstar in a German movie where she got pooped on, and whatever she did was because she was young and needed the money! ...What do you mean that happened last month?! SCREW YOU!Stock Ninja Weaponry: I managed to pick this kickass pair of sai at the Park County Fair. With them, I became Bulrag, tough brute ninja who dedicates his life to eradicating the world of hippies and who has lots and lots of powers! Kahl didn't like that of course, but screw him!Tempting Fate: When Chef fell off a cliff and a cougar and bear tore him to pieces, I suggested he might be okay. Then he crapped his pants.Troll:No matter how nasty I'm feeling, it sure is damn fun to make other people feel like shit. Especially Kahl. And I've been doing this a lot longer than thatTerumijackoffnoteTerumi: You wanna go at it, you fat little pigshit?! Waitaminute, I don't have to, 'cuz I'm not the one eating a spooge burrito! HA! Oh yeah I WILL tell Heidi about your past! Oh wait she dumped your Fat Ass! I may be dead in my own series but at least I'm not a filthy hobo in the future wallowing in his own shit, piss, puke, smegma, and cum! HA HA HA!!! Nice tits, BTW! HA HA HA HA HA HA!.But I am NOT Skankhunt42.I bet it's Kahl's dad, that fucking Jew asshole lawyer!Took a Level in Jerkass: After Scott Tenorman fucked me over for the last time, and I gave him what for, I decided that nobody was gonna stop ME from doing WHAT I want WHEN I want!Took a Level in Kindness: So in recent years, I've been trying to calm down from my evil ways. I even toldKahl that I just am not into these old shenanigans anymore.I just hope TrollTrace.com and Heidi's emoji analysis don't force my past to catch up with me...The Virus: Just a while back, I started on my own commentary channel onYouTubecalled \"CartmanBrah\", where I comment on people commenting on games, then branching out to commentary on people commenting on other stuff. I soon developed a following, and I bolstered it with a holiday special with live tweeting and everything, to the point where my CartmanBrah commenter window was everywhere. Unfontunately, just as I was on my way into becomingThe Singularity, Kahl and his stupid \"#WeBelieveInYou\" hashtag ruined everything, andGod damnedPewDiePieshowed up and deleted my holiday special in favor ofCall Of Dutycommentary!Villainous Rescue:I once saved Kahl from dying in a smug storm, even at risk to my own life. Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't do it because I liked him, I did it because like Stan said, I can't go on without Kahl to rank on.Vitriolic Best Buds: I hate Stan, Kyyyinny andespecially Kahl, and they hate me right back, but we still hang out.They all want to hang out with me because I'm the kewlest kid in South Park, and I let them because of how kewl I am.Vocal Evolution: My voice was higher-pitched and more nasally in the early days ofSouth Park. I guess that's what seventeen years of bitching around (and never growing up) does to ya.Wise Beyond Their Years: I may not have grown my pubes yet, but I'm so much more mature than all the other kids my age. It's why I keep trying to make more mature friends,even if they keep turning out to be sick perverts.Your Mom: As you found out from the episode \"The Poor Kid\", I'm quite good at 'Yo Mama'. Especially the 'Yo Mama So Poor' jokes toward kids in skewl poorer than me \u2014 even Kyyyinny! His Mama So Poor she hangs toilet paper out to dry! *laughs maniacally*But don't think this meansyou can take ashot at my meeem!!!On a final note:Screw you tropers,I'm going home.You're dephbpbphpicable.Alternative Title(s):South Park Eric Cartman"} {"text": "What the hell areYOUstarin' at?! Self-demonstrating, huh? You mean, you want me to talk about myself? Um, well, why didn't you say so? That I can do. Duckman, Private Dick, Family Man, World-Renowned Ladies' Man. My first name's Eric, but don't call me that. I have a family that hate my guts; I live with my godawful fitness freak of a sister-in-law and a comatose fire hazard of a mother-in-law, my Siamese twins Charles and Salsa, and Ajax, who is, let's just say there's bread in the oven but the pilot light's out, but he's the only person who I can talk to without alienating me. I'll admit, he's a good kid. I wonder when his birthday is? Never mind, did I mention that I work as a detective? Cornfed's my assistant, and of course,I do all the work, while he and thosenightmare bears are right behind me, or in the bears' case, ticking me off with their uber-politically correct crap to the point where I literally beat the stuffing out of them. Yep, Duckman here is the world's greatest detective, and the chicksjuuustdig me!Of course, Ihada wife. She got killed in a parade accidentor so I thought until she walked in on a wedding one day. Why did Corny never tell me this? I thought we were, you know, pals! He was going to but my show was cancelled before he could. Why?! Dozens of people watchUSA! And wouldn't you know it, the creator of my show bit the big one so it's not gonna be resolved. Unless someone who cares enough about television steps in, and what are the chances of that?

Also, I let those weird but kind guys over atRick and Mortyuse my face on a lunchbox in that slut dragon episode. How is a dragon exactly a slut anyway? I dunno, I don't get that show's intelligent stuff.

I amsoglad I did not marry her, though I wish God would swap their places; as in, spare Beatrice and have Bernice die horribly. And make it as slow and painful as possible! Wait, people can see this?

Reign chaos with the power I have granted you. If either of those do-gooders defeat you, I'll just find another until I finally win!Barefisted Monk: As you've already witnessed on Heroes' Day, I'm just as capable of handling those upstart heroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir, with my own two hands than with my cane.Berserk Button: Troper, what are you doing?! I gave you these powers so that you can get me my miraculous! If you don't knock it off and return to the task at hand,then I'll remove your powers!Card-Carrying Villain: One of these days Ladybug and Cat Noir, your hero days will be numbered and I shall reign supreme!MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Dub Name Change: The other name I go by, Le Papillon, or \"The Butterfly\", admittedly doesn't sound as threatening in English.The Empath: Ah, such raw anger and frustration.

It's about time I have my own TV Tropes page. I'm pretty much the main star of the show! Not Chris McLame or any of those other dweebs you may like more than me. ME! Ahem, I'm getting ahead of myself so I'll try to explain myself better to you idiots.noteChris: Sure.You'rethe main star. Whatever you say Heather.If for some reason in this dumb world you didn't know, my name is Heather, THE Queen Bee, and I am a major player of theTotal Dramaseries. I'm the strongest, smartest, most athletic member of my team, the Screaming Gophers. I didn't come up with the name by the way. That's all Chris. Stupid name I know. Anyway, as soon as I got to that island, I made itclearto everyone I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to take names and win that prize money for myself! I don't care what I needed to do in order to achieve my goals. Of course, being mean out in the person has its disadvantages so I picked the two dumbest characters I could find to be in my alliance. In this case, it was Lindsidiot and Beth. I promise to take those two to the final 3 if they helped me out and I wasn't lying. For the most part. When push came to shove, I'll ditch them in order to save my own butt! Throughout my stay on the island, I came to hate pretty mucheveryoneon the island, ESPECIALLYGwen and Leshawna! Those two... UGH!!! I can't tell you the amount of times when those two annoyed me or even attacked me throughout our stay on the dumb island! Leshawna may have gotten eliminated at one point but it wasn't bymyhands! And Gwen made it to the final two! Heh, it was satisfying ruining Gwen and Trent's relationship. For the most part. They got back to together... only to break up the very next season. But it wasIwho sent in that motion for their eventual permanent breakup in the first place, so I win! I'm getting off topic but thanks to my skills, I made it to the final 3 of course. Unfortunately for me, I was on the receiving end of a lot of disgusting and humiliating dares courtesy of Owen and Gwen and it lead to me being eliminated after GETTING MY HAIR SHAVED!!! Chris that sadistic jerk made me leave the island due to a technicality and I threatened to sue him! I never managed to do it but I was able to come back to the island for a chance at one million dollars. Of course I took the opportunity at that but it lead nowhere except season two:Total Drama Action.Ugh... this season I'm surenobodyliked anyway but it was arguably my worst season. I was still bald and everyone knew not to even trust me. It didn't help that my hair loss caused me to go, how to put it, insane. When Courtney sued her way back to the show, I spent most of my time trying to get herbeautifulhair... AH! Ignore that! I'm not crazy! AHEM! I was eliminated so early in that season so why am I even bothering to go into detail of this season? I wasn't the main star nor I had any focus! BETH of all people did!Now,Total Drama: World Tourwas the third season and it was safe to say that I came back with a vengeance! My hair finally grew back and I decided to focus more on playing the game rather than manipulate people (though I did tried with newcomer Sierra since she was such a Chris fangirl). That season would've probably been easy for me if not for one person: Alejandro... Out of ALL the people I've came across, he is thebiggestchallenge I've had in a long time. Unlike me who doesn't care about being mean in the open, Alejandro keeps it to himself being able to manipulate, well,everyone that isn't me!And NO! I do NOT have a crush on him! STOP SAYING THAT OR I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET IT!!! Phew. Anyway, as I said, my performance during this season overall was top notch if I do say so myself. I even made it to the final 2 and WON at the end! This is how it should be of course and even you people cheered for me over the more, ahem, lesser evil character Alejandro. Unfortunately, that feral sexist punk Ezekiel stole my money and landed in the volcano! My well earned money! GONE! UGH!!! I HATE this stupid show which is why I wonder I came back! That's why in the next season,Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, I made a big cameo in an episode where I took my well-deserved money and attempted to make off in Chris' zeppelin. I would've succeeded if not for one of those newbie losers.And I made my final appearance (so far as far as I know...) inTotal Drama: All-Starswith a slightly bigger role than inActionI guess. I was placed on the Villainous Vultures team and became its leader of course. Unfortunately, Ms. Tries-Too-Hard-To-Be-Like-Me Jo kept trying to challenge me for leadership which eventually lead to her being eliminated! Yes! However, Alejandro returned as well and just as big of a thorn in my side as always. Later, not only he stole my immunity model he got me eliminated from the island! THAT JERK! However, it was a clever move by him and when he got eliminated, I decided to pick him up from his icy doom and, well, we started to go out! \"Hah! I knew it! Heather had a thing for Alejandro all along! It was so obvious! Huh duh!!!\" is what you're thinking right? Well, shut up. We may be dating but money always comes first. And that was the last of me of the series... at least for now I guess... Not that I would even come back!Well, I've spoken too soon. Looks likeTotal Dramahas been renewed for 2 more seasons. UGH! Well, on the bright side, maybe I could win again and actually KEEP the money this time!Tropes that apply to me, the Queen Bee!Action Girl: Of course. Winning is everything even if I must do either degrading or disgusting things!Alpha Bitch: Um, DUH! When youknowyou're the best andeveryoneknows you are, you deserve to act this way!Anti-Hero: As if I'm a \"hero\" in anyway but IguessI'm this inWorld Tourtoo the much LESSER evil-than-me Alejandro. I'll admit I'm more of a team player while Al isn't afraid to sabotage his own team if anyone else feels threatening to him.Arch-Enemy:Everyonein this stupid show honestly but if I can name my top 3: Gwen, Leshawna, and Alejandro. InIsland, Gwen and Leshawna have been an utter thorn in my side since day one! Gwen is just a weird goth girl who thinks she's better than everyone, and Leshawna always gets physical with me just because she's physically stronger than me! Of course it's because when you have that much junk in your trunk, the rest had to go somewhere. And Alejandro was this definitely forWorld Tour; he was the most threatening person I had to deal with in my life. I didn't help that he painted himself as this \"nice guy\" toward everyone while my history on the show made everyone not trust me!Attention Whore: Um, yeah! Hello!I'mthe reason you watch the showBad Boss: So what if my treatment of Lindsay and Beth inIslandwas borderline criminal.Theywanted to make it to the final 3 with me so, naturally, they had to do whatever I say! This includes always siding with me with votes, never questioning my actions, and allowing me to use their stuff whenever I want and they can't use mine in return. It's fair! Too bad Beth and later Lindsay didn't think so...Beauty Is Bad: I'm beautiful and I'm bad! DUH!Belligerent Sexual Tension: Shut up! Me and Alejandro had NOTHING going on! At first at least...Big Bad:Themain threat ofIslandand arguably the best one of them all!Bitch Alert: Heh. Unlike those other antagonists, I made no attempt to hide my evilness. As soon as I arrived on that dump of an island, I gaveDeath Glareto everyone there to let them know I, mean, business! My glorious face even provides the trope image! You're welcome!Break the Haughty: Hmph. I don't know what you mean. I guess after my humiliating defeat of the first season, I decided to become more of a team player afterwards.Butt-Monkey: Ugh...don't get me started with \"I Triple Dog Dare You\" and pretty much ALL ofTotal Drama Action...Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Don't get me started... I guess being theBig Bad,Jerkass,Hate Sinkof the season means I get hit with some sort of abuse or humiliation! Mostly from Gwen and Leshawna.Can't Take Criticism: I don't know what you're talking about. I cantotallytake criticism. Just not if it's something bad about me or what I do.Card-Carrying Villain: IknowI am evil. IknowI am manipulative. And I certainlyknowI'm a major player in this game!Character Development: Hah! As if! I've been my same ol' self since day 1! Well, I guess byWorld Tour, I focused on more being a team player and not trying to sabotaging friendships/relationships to get myself further. Especially with Alejandro doing all of that during that season...The Chew Toy: Ugh... I thought I explained this inButt-Monkeyalready. Don't make me repeat myself!Chronic Back Stabbing Disorder: Alliances are basically like day old milk. It's good for a little while but once it spoils, you toss it out! And that's what I've always done with my alliances! Yes, no one dare to trust me anymore after that but let me ask you:Whoeven trustmein the first place?Clingy Jealous Girl: I am NOT clingy for Alejandro! But I will NOT let Courtney have him!Crocodile Tears: I pulled this three times:Once inIslandduring my glorious plan to break up Gwen and Trent.Second inWorld Tourwhere Alejandro feel for my ploy and manage to take the win from him!And third inRevenge of the Islandwhere I got that stupid jock that likes to says his own name a lot to drop his guard to take off withMYprize money!Curse Cut Short: I almost called Courtney a \"you know what\" after she kept annoyingly stating how she was a \"C.I.T\"... but Gwen cut me off before I could finish but I'm sure you peopleget what I meant.Me: More like a B-I-T-C-.Deadpan Snarker: What the kind of people you're around all the time, you need to be this.Death Glare: I have this look 24/7 because there is nothing to be happy about all the time. I'm the best and I must focus on looking the best.Defrosting Ice Queen: Why must you insist I'm not as mean as before? I mean, yeah byWorld Tour, I became alittlemore caring but not by much! Seriously, it's like you're trying to see the good in me when it's clear I don't want to be good!Determinator: I was close to the million dollars at the end ofWorld Tour! I had to keep pushing myself to win it!Even Bad Women Love Their Mamas: My mom is the only person I actuallylike. When I thought I was going to die in a stupid stunt inAction, I was going to leave all of my possessions to her and none of my sisters. They don't deserve ANYTHING!Even Evil Has Standards: Yes, I 'll do anything it takes to win. Break up relationships, cheat, sabotaging others, the works. However, there are things even I won't stoop to such as, I don't know,killingthe other contestants. Chris the Creep has no morals at all for whenever someone dies and even that disgusts me.Let's just say that Alejandro's plan to eliminate Duncan inWorld Tourwas... surprising...Me:(confessional)Even I'm notthatruthless!Everyone Can See It:SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!Seriously, stop saying me and Alejandro are a thing! We are not! ... At first at least...Evil Is Hammy: Oh shut it. I'm evil and I know it! I can be as open as I can be about it!Evil Is Petty: What? Even at times where we supposed to be winning a challenge, if you've insulted/mess with me at any time, Iwillmake you pay. Just ask Gwen after I exposed her butt to the world in the middle of a challenge!Ex-Big Bad: I could've easily beentheBig Badof the whole series but, sadly, that couldn't been always the case.Hated by All: Listen here. I made itveryclear I didn't came to the island to make friends or be nice. I came here to do only one thing: Win! And I don't care if you like me, hate me, want to be my best friend, or want to beat me up. I will crush all of those who get in my way!Hate Sink:Wow, really? I'm sure after reading my whole page to this point, you think I'm the most sincere and nicest person in the series! You're such a genius!HAH! I could care less if any of those losers or you people for the matter care about me. I'm only in that show to make money and nothing more.Hazy-Feel Turn: This is more like it! I didnotturn into the \"good guy\" ofWorld Tourbut even I have to admit that Alejandro was a threat. Mainly because he kept his evilness a secret.Heroic Resolve:Fine! I'll say it. In \"Hawaiian Punch\" when it seem I lost to Alejandro and Cody told me I was the \"good guy\", I burst out of the cage in hopes of beating him which Ididin thecanon ending! But don't get used to it. That was the closest time to me being a \"good guy\" and I'm never going back!Hoist by Her Own Petard: Remember how I threatened to shave Lindsay's head if she should ever betray my alliance again? I should've chosen my words more carefully, because that's exactly how I went down! Stupid Chris and his stupid rules!Humiliation Conga: UGH! The episode \"I Triple Dog Dare You!\" was just one bigLaser-Guided Karmafor me for all the stuff I done to others inIcy Gray Eyes: Enough to make you quiver in fear and obey my every command!I'm Not Here to Make Friends: Duh! I've been saying this a lot on this page now! I'm here towin! Not make friends! Making allies then ditching them later, yes.Important Haircut: How is itimportant\"!? Fine! My hair being shaved marked my defeat inIsland'' and my last time being in theBig Badspotlight.In-Series Nickname: I'm getting real tired of people calling me by \"Old Heather...\"It's All About Me: \"I'm valuable!\" 'Nuff said.Jerkass:laughing evillyMost obvious trope ever!Jerkass to One: No, I\u2019m like that with almost everyone. But my relationship with Weird Goth Girl? With everyone else, that\u2019s just how I am. With her,It's Personal.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Only afterIsland. Thankfully averted starting inRevenge of the Islandand intoAll-Stars.Karmic Butt-Monkey: Seriously?! You just combined two separate tropes together just to make me miserable.Laser-Guided Karma: The Karma Bug must have been common on that stupid island because I kept getting bit by it every. Single. TIME! I guess it could be worse; at least I didn\u2019t get screwed over as bad as Alejandro or Scott. Personally, I blame Chris; if he didn\u2019t think danger was so good for ratings, the show wouldn\u2019t have so many injuries.Lean and Mean: The body of a supermodel, the personality of the devil!Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Dark to Lindsidiot's Light.Malicious Misnaming: If you annoy me, youwillreceive this.For Lindsay, it's \"Lindsiot\".For obvious reasons.For Gwen it, \"Weird Goth Girl\".And I mainly call Izzy \"Psycho Hose Beast\" but also \"Crazy Girl\". And yes, she isthatcrazy and insane!Manipulative Bitch: Indeed I am! Despite by open evilness, I am able to stay in the game by manipulating others to becoming pawns in my game!Me:In this world,there are shepherds and there are sheep, and Lindsay is amajorsheep. Baaaaaah!Ms. Fanservice: Of course! I have the body of a supermodel and I'm not afraid to show off most of my body. However, I guess I should've worn more clothing or a random branch could rip off my shirt and show my breasts to the freaking world!Not Me This Time: No Duncan. I didn't cause Courtney's elimination inIsland. I don't know what was his deal as the guy (Harold) who he kept picking on over and over was clearly to blame.noteChris: Oh and who was the one who took your immunity idol inAll-Stars? Was it me as you kept saying? No! Alejandro! You even told him that you found it! And you used to be soooooo smart!noteMe: SHUT UP CHRIS!!!Only Sane Woman: YES!!! I'm theonlyperson on that stupid show with her head on straight.Pet the Dog: Hey, Iamcapable of being nice toward others when I feel like it!InIsland, DJ thought I was the killer and I tried to calm him down to no avail. Then, when he was eliminated from the island, I actually join in a group hug before he left. I'll admit, DJ was probably theonlyother person I didn't have a bad thought about. He was just that nice I guess.InAction, everyone was showing Leshawna some hostility after she deceived everyone and even said bad things about them. I defended her because she was just saying what was on her mind which is something I doall the time! I ended up being eliminated later and Leshawna actually said I could consider her a friend. It was actually nice to hear that especially since Leshawna was one of my main enemies and I gave her my wig to remember her by. It didn't last long however, as I am about to explain...Wow, I've donetoo much of thisinWorld Tour. Trying to warn my supposed-to-be-my-friend Leshawna about Alejandro, confronting Courtney after finding out Duncan cheated on her, and even giving Sierra a wig after she accidentally blew up Chris' plane. But for the last one, after what I've been through inAction,no girlshould go around with a bald head.Plot Armor: I've constantly been accused of this inIsland. Because of my open, ahem, \"bitchiness\", there were a lot of times where I was almost eliminated. However, thanks to my cunning and being a general great player of the game, I was able to win immunity each time and save myself!Pragmatic Villainy: Listen, I am the villain and I certainlylovebeing it! However, I will never screw over my own team. Winning is for winners like me and losing is for losers like Alejandro!Rich Bitch: My family's rich and I'm mean of course.Schemer: This is kinda the point of being a manipulative jerk...Small Name, Big Ego: This trope is adverted. You all think I'm all talk and that I rely too much on alliances to make it farther into the game. However, Iamgood in challenges with a combination of my own skill and cunning!Statuesque Stunner: I am like, REALLY tall, and REALLY hot.Surrounded by Idiots: As the only sane character in the show, this happens too much for my liking...There Are Two Kinds of People in the World: Shepherds and sheep, as said by moi!Token Evil Teammate: Ofanyteam I am on. Played with on the Villainous Vultures where, despite being on a team with other villains (including Gwen and yes she stole Courtney's boyfriend which makes her one), I am definitely the most evil of them all!Took a Level in Kindness:I don't know what you're taking about. I have been always the same jerk throughout the series as I've always been! Ugh! Fine! DuringWorld Tour, I became more of a team player and even offered my assistance to others at times while Alejandro was busy manipulating people and taking down Team Not-So-Victory.However, in theAll-Starsepisode \"Moon Madness,\" I pretended to act all cuddly and nice in order to throw off Alejandro. And it worked oh so well!Trash Talk: Of course. Anyone is a target of this. Especially Gwen and Leshawna.Traumatic Haircut: This makes more sense.No girldeserves to be on national television with a badly shaved head, and I am definitely that kind of girl!Tsundere: Ugh! Enough of me acting lovey-lovey toward Alejandro.Unholy Matrimony: Shut...up....Villainous Breakdown: When I wasvery unfairlyeliminated inIsland, I let out a scream that could be heard across the lake and I went off on Chris threatening to sue him. I would've too but Courtney beat me to the punch...noteChris:Unfairlyyou say? Not my fault you got outplayed Heather!Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: S-Sumo wrestlers...Will They or Won't They?: FINE! Me and Alejandro became anOfficial Coupleas of the end ofAll-Starsbut that doesn't mean we don't get to not competitive against each other!You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Thanks for getting me so far in the game Lindsay, but your services were no longer required!"} {"text": "\"Ice Bear judges you.\"(This page should be read in the voice ofDemetri Martinor in a very monotone and deadpan voice)Ice Bear welcomes you.Ice Bear has many things to say.Ice Bear lives in San Francisco Bay Area with Grizzly and Panda.Ice Bear would like you to read about him.Ice Bear has too many tropes:Animals Not to Scale: Ice Bear can be tall as human... only when standing.Awesome, but Impractical: Ice Bear has basketball tricks... but Ice Bear also needs work on shooting ball.Ax-Crazy: Only if Ice Bear drinks coffee.Badass Adorable: Ice Bear may be cuddly polar bear but Ice Bear also deadly polar bear.Beary Friendly: Ice Bear means well and tries best to get along.Beary Funny: And Ice Bear also hilarious.Beige Prose: Ice Bear doesn't embellish.Berserk Button: Ice Bear warns you not to mess with Ice Bear's cooking.

Weep in despair as you behold the awe-inspiring visage of ZIIIIIM!!You may kneel in deference at your leisure.\"\"Come, GIR. Let us rain some doom down upon the heads of our doomed enemies.\"\u2014ZIM'smany words of Irken wisdom.Hello, puny Earth-creatures. ZIM heard about several lesserNickelodeoncharacters getting pages on this \"TV Tro-pes\" thing, likethat cranky squid-thing who reminds ZIM of one of his old experimentsandthat Nhar-Gh'ok worm baby, so ZIM decided that this site needs more ZIM!Today, you have the honor of meeting ZIM, who happens to be a perfectly normal human worm baby who goes to a perfectly normal human skool and lives a perfectly normal human life. Don't believe theDib-stink'sFILTHY LIES, because he's aFILTHY LIAR WHO LIES!What, you want to hear how ZIM became as awesome and cool as he is now? Very well, Earthling, BOW DOWN and... err... enjoy my awesome story of PIGGIES andDOOM! (How I love that word...)It all started one fateful day. Our undisputed rulers, the Almighty Tallest had just sent out a call for the entire Irken armada to prepare for Operation Impending DOOM II, but they accidentally forgot to invite me to the party!Sure, they said ZIM was technically banished to Foodcourtia (which ZIM still doesn't get - I made those fires BETTER!), but since they were making a big mistake, ZIM borrowed a spaceship and crashed their meeting anyways. OBVIOUSLY, the Tallest were just so impressed by ZIM's invading skills and Irken determination that they assigned ZIM to this super secret backwater planet called Earth. They even gave ZIM his own custom-built SIR unit! (GIR: Ooohh, THEY GOT TROPES ABOUT PIGGIES HERE! HI PIGGIES! Zim: GIR, go spy on the Dib-Stink or something! GIR:Yes, sir!)From there, ZIM and his new robot assistant landed on Earth, where we got new disguises that enabled us to FLAWLESSLY infiltrate this stupid hyoo-man society. All were fooled, except for one annoying human worm baby who just won't leave ZIM ALONE by the name of DIB!But no matter. Soon ZIM will have conquered this giant mudball and all of you puny Earthlings, becausean invader never stops until their mission is complete.Still, not all Earth-creatures are bad. These hoo-mans atNickelodeonadapted my adventures into this thing called an cartoon. Apparently GIR really loves them for some reason. (GIR: I love this show.)But then those stupid suit-guys ended my show early! When I finally take over Earth, those guys are going to get thePLUNGER OF DOOMto the... errr... I'll think of somewhere when I get there. AND IT WILL BE PAINFUL!And since you puny Earthlings just couldn't get enough of ZIM's fabulous Irkenhamminess, those stupid hoo-mans at Nickelodeon put ZIM's beautiful face on plenty of merch (including a\"video game\"where I team up with thatidiotic sponge,the kid and those flying creatures, andthat ghost boy), and, after realising what a mistake they made in ending ZIM's show early, gave me this\"comic book\" seriesand, after ZIM spent numerous Earth years laughing in a toilet, put my new plan into action. ALL HAIL THEFLORPUS OF DOOM! Oh, and if you want to make sure you hear this \"Self Demonstrating\" page in my hammy voice in its FULL GLORY, read it in the voice of thehoo-manwho (I can't believe that I am saying this) did a terrific job at voicing me! Or thatother hoo-manwho voiced me before him.Tropes that apply to the MIGHTY ZIM!A.I. Is a Crapshoot: ZIM must admit, when the Tallest bestowed him the honor of a custom SIR unit, ZIM would have expected it to be less of an idiot. And somehow, locking GIR into competence mode just made him MORE useless!Aliens Speaking English: Of course ZIM knows how to speak your primitive Earth language! An Irken invader must know these things if he is to successfully infiltrate civilization.Amusing Alien: What?! You dare laugh at me because you find my antics amusing?! INSOLENT HOO-MAN! You will not find me so amusing once I VAPORIZE YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE CONTINENT!Ax-Crazy: ALL WILL FEAR ZIM AND HIS DOOM! Even the Almighty Tallest are impressed by the volume of my sheer DOOM.Awesome Backpack: My PAK is a masterpiece in Irken engineering! It keeps me alive should anything be dumb enough to try to injure ZIM, has steel legs for advanced mobility and can back up our memories should something damage our fragile brains.Big Bad Wannabe: Who you calling wannabe! ZIM will rule earth and is theBig Bad! I AM THE BIGGEST BAD OF THEM ALL!! (Except for the Almighty Tallest. They are quite large indeed.)Big \"NO!\": This is one of ZIM's catchphrases.Bizarre Alien Biology:MYBIOLOGY BIZARRE?? How dare you!! You humans have no right to judge! Your squishy, pink brains can barely FATHOM the bodily function of the Irken squeedlyspooch!Butt-Monkey: Eh? Me, a monkey's butt? No, no, you must be thinking of the Dib, for he is indeed a primitive Earth monkey who often smells of butt. As for myself, nobody said galactic conquest would be easy, but ZIM will gladly accept any challenge for the glory of the Almighty Tallest! No matter how many indignities he must go through!Clark Kenting: ZIM's human disguise is of ZIM with earth monkey eyes and hair.Determinator: An invader never stops until their mission is complete, and ZIM WILL TAKE OVER EARTH SOMEDAY!Disproportionate Retribution: Making The Dib live an entire satisfying life where he was accepted and lauded as a hero just for thesuspicionof throwing a muffin at Zim's head WAS AN ENTIRERLY REASONABLE AND PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE!!!Doomy Dooms of Doom: Is there a better word out there? (GIR: Imma sing the doom song- Zim: NO!)Doom Magnet: Yes, indeed. Wherever Zim goes, doom follows and befalls those who get in his way! (GIR: Doom doom doom-doom-doom doom-doom- Zim: I SAID NO, GIR!)The Dreaded: My entire race fear their own kind who is ZIM, who will be earths new ruler. They don't hate ZIM.Evil Is Hammy: ZIM does enjoy a nice long speech. It intimidates the... (GIR: HAM? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- Zim: Begone with you!)Evil Laugh: Zim has an intimidating one. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (GIR: Heeheeheehee... WEEEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!! Zim: COMPUTER, LAUGH WITH US!! Computer: I DON'T WANT TO.)Eye Scream: *sizzling noise* AAUGH!! THE EARTHLINGS HAVE BOOBYTRAPPED THEIR SUN SOMEHOW! DON'T STARE AT IT!!Expy: In the time before the Florpus, the humans have created copies to emulate ZIM!ZIM has two in the forms ofCryptosporidium 136-139 and Orthopox 13-14. The former has ZIM's taste for conquest and destruction to those who oppose him and the latter has ZIM's bombasticness!There was another aspirant who appeared in the form ofearth's felinoids. Sadly his plans were easily thwarted by an Earth boy as well.ZIM, sadly has an inversion withthe crystalline lifeform called Peridot. No self-respecting invader or scout would ever choose the side of rebels, turncoats, and traitors, let alone befriend thehalf-breed offspringof their former rebel leader!Galactic Conqueror: As an Irken invader, it is ZIM's duty to take over planets to appease my leaders.I Do Not Drink Wine: My supreme Irken biology absolutely cannot stand your FIILLLTHYYYY human food! But I still must learn to consume and build a tolerance to it, lest my disguise be compromised. AND KEEP THAT MEAT AWAY FROM ME!Insectoid Aliens: We Irkens seem to bare a slight resemblance to those things you call insects, with our Irken antennae andperfectly normalgreen skin.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alright, FINE! Maybe ZIM does slightly care for that little robot of his. ZIM did promise GIR the moon, after all. (GIR: It's made of cheese! I LIKE CHEESE!! Zim: Away with you, GIR!)Karmic Butt-Monkey: Again with the monkey's butt? And they added the \"karma\" flavor in. ZIM does not believe in karma!Large Ham: OBVIOUSLY!! NONEGNASH THEIR TEETH UPON THE MISE EN SCENEWITH SUCH HUNGER, NOREXTRACT DAIRY FROM THE UDDERS OF ENORMOUS BOVINESWITH SUCH FEROCITY AS... *deep breath* ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!!Mad Scientist: ZIM IS NOT MAD,YOU LIE! But yes, ZIM was one of the Irken Armada's top military scientists. Even on thatdisgustingplace you call Earth, ZIM enjoys performing horrible, life-threatening experiments on the dumb humans that occupy it.The Napoleon: Zim may be the shortest Irken in the Armada, BUT HE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE GREATEST INVADER TO EVER LIVE! ONE DAY, YOU WILL ALL BOW DOWN TO ZIM!No Indoor Voice: Why would ZIM want to be quiet? EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR ME!Oblivious to Hatred: You say the Tallest detest Zim? YOU LIE! THE ALMIGHTY TALLEST ACKNOWLEDGE MY SUPERIOR SKILLS AS AN INVADER! WHY DO YOU THINK THEY SENT ME ON THIS SECRET MISSION TO TAKE OVER YOUR WORTHLESS PLANET?!Older Than He Looks: ZIM may not look it, but he's older than any Earth-creature that lives.Paper-Thin Disguise: ZIM'S DISGUISE IS NOT THIN, IT IS BRILLIANT! I am much too attractive to cover myself up, and fake hair and eyes are all that is needed to fool you puny Earthlings into thinking I am a perfectly normal human worm-baby.The Sociopath: Irkens do not care for pathetic human emotions or love. We only conquer!Third-Person Person: Yes, ZIM often speaks in the third person; how else will anyone know that the amazing ZIM is talking about his own incredibleness?Undying Loyalty: To my eternal leaders, the Almighty Tallest. Soon you will ALL bow down to them.Victory Is Boring: LIES!! FILTHY EARTHEN LIES!! VICTORY WILL BE SWEET LIKE THE JUICES OF THE MAGNOMORPHIAN FRUITS, but only when ZIM has personally crushed all resistance. Having the filthy earthboy just give up on resisting me like he once did WILL NOT STAND!!Villain Protagonist: Villain? ZIM IS THE HERO OF THE IRKEN EMPIRE! But for some reason, you pathetic humans seem to see ZIM as the villain for wanting to take over your planet...Weaksauce Weakness: ZIM IS NOT WEAK! ZIM IS A MIGHTY INVADER OF THE IRKEN ARMADA THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO ALL PAIN! Okay, so perhaps your filthy planet's water may cause my skin to burn, but I have long since overcome that weakness by bathing daily in your Earth-based paste. And keep that meat away from me!Worthy Opponent: I must admit that while the Dib-monkey may be a thorn in my side, he is the only one who can truly appreciate the amazingness of my plans. IT WILL MAKE ANNIHILATING HIM ALL THE MORE SWEETER!Xanatos Gambit: ZIM'S PLANS NEVER FAIL! Oh, on the surface, it mayseemlike my schemes to take over this stink planet get foiled, but what you fail to realize with your primitive human brain is that they are but a diversion from what I TRULY INTEND! Take that incident with theFlorpusfor instance...Dib may have thought he won that one, but I was able to steal his puppy clown thing,whichhad been my real planall along!

Idetestdogs!You are standing in a dark room. Suddenly, anall-too familiardrum beatstarts playing, anda pair of eyes appears in the darkness.The owner of the eyes slowly steps out from the darkness.For best effect, try reading this page in a British accent, preferably with a deep voice.Hello, troper. Welcome to Katz'sSelf-Demonstrating character page.I'm Katz, not to be confused withthe doctor of the same name. So, you would like to learn about me? I must say, I'm flattered.You may have heard of me in a certainanimated television programby the name ofCourage the Cowardly Dog.I was the most recurring villain in the show. By this, I mean that I appeared in 6 episodes (including an episode where I only made a cameo.) Yes, I know that this does not sound like a lot, but when your show has aMonster of the Weekformat, there's not much room for recurring villains. I was rather lucky, actually.These are the episodes in which I appeared:A Night At the Katz Motel: My first appearance, the first episode of the show, and my first run-in with that accursed canine. I was currently running my labor of love,the Katz Motel. ThatNorman Batesis quite an inspiration to me.Klub Katz: My second appearance, in which I took inspiration from the brilliant mind ofDr. Moreau.Katz Kandy: My third appearance, which was notablyLighter and Softerthan my other appearances. This time, I owned the titular candy shop. This was when I revealed to you, the audience, that every year, I participate in the Nowhere Sweet Stuff Contest, and every year, I end up in 2nd place, just behind that old woman I have tried to murder so many times.Obviously,I'm not happy about this.Katz Under the Sea: My fourth appearance, and the last episode I got all to myself. This time, the foolish citizens of Nowhere were easily lured onto my submarine tour. A tour thatshould haveended with them sinking to the bottom of the sea and exploding. I despise that dog to no end.Ball Of Revenge: In which I teamed up with some old friends to defeat that stupid dog once and for all. We failed, and this was my last real appearance...Profiles in Courage: My one cameo appearance. I myself do not appear, but in the paper cutter's workshop, you can see a cutout of me in the background.Tropes that apply to me:The Ace: There isn't much that I can't do.Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Red isn't exactly a natural fur color for a cat. It's one of the things that makes me so scary.Arch-Enemy: By virtue of being the most recurring villain, I function as this to that dog.Ax-Crazy: I may be calm and collected, but thathardlystops me from being unquenchably bloodthirsty.Badass in a Nice Suit: In \"Klub Katz\" and \"Katz Under The Sea\", I sport a snazzy white tuxedo.Big Bad: I am the closest thing the show had to one.Big Bad Duumvirate:I can be considered this inBall Of Revengesince I'm the most vocal member of the group alongside the old man.In a more recent outing, I joined forces with that fiendish fowl Le Quack in a scheme to harness the magic of the dark matter meteor at the heart of Nowhere... a scheme that surely would have succeeded if not forthose interloping youths and their mangy canine.Blob Monster: Not me myself, but in \"Katz Kandy\", I created one of these out of my own jelly recipe to capture the old woman. Surprisingly, it was her husband who defeated it.By the Lights of Their Eyes: One of my specialties.The Cameo: You can see a paper cutout of me in the episode \"Profiles of Courage\"Catchphrase: Quite a few. For example:\"I wish you hadn't done that\".\"A little sportbefore dying?\"\"Sad, isn't it?\"\"Hello. Welcome to X. I'm Katz\"Cats Are Mean: Indeed. I do have quite the sinister personality.Cats Are Snarkers: It's not my fault that I'm simply more intelligent than everyone else.Cold Ham: I manage tochew a bit of sceneryat times without ever raising my voice.Commissar Cap: I sport one of these in \"Katz Under The Sea\".Complete Monster: I'll admitI'm not very nice.Con Man: Though I'm a more deadly example than most.Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: As you see, I work hard for my craft.Deadpan Snarker: I see you've just survived a devastating shipwreck. Pity.The Dragon: I lost myBig Badstatus to thatGrumpy Old Manin \"Ball of Revenge\". Sad, isn't it?Evil Brit: Courtesy of Paul Schoeffler.Evil Laugh: It's usually more of an evil chuckle, though I did get a good one in \"Night at the Katz Motel\"Evil Red Head: Red fur, in my case.Evil Sounds Deep: Again, kudos to Schoeffler. My voice does frighten you, does it not?Excuse Me While I Multitask: In \"Night at the Katz Motel\", I repeatedly took some time to do things like read and sip some tea during my little ball game with the dog.Faux Affably Evil: I quite cleverly mask my murderous intentions with a pleasant facade.Foil: To the annoying pink dog. Whereas he isa clumsy and unconfident fool who can't do anything right, I excel in just about everything I do.For the Evulz: Why I commit my evil deeds.Giant Spider: I breed and raise many colorful species of giant spider. They would love to have you over for dinner, I assure you...Hell Hotel: You simply must pay a visit to my motel sometime.You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.Involuntary Battle to the Death: My island resort was actually a front for a sort of gladiatorial games strictly for my amusement: I would deceive unlucky customers into attending my spa, where I would transform them into machines and force them to fight to the death in my arena. A plan I'm certain would have succeeded if not for the intervention of that wretched dog.Joker Immunity: No matterwhat happens to me, I willalwayscome back.Lean and Mean: Quite so, as you see in the picture.Leitmotif: A calm, sinister, and very distinctive percussion-heavy piece. Quite fitting for one such as me. There are at least two versions. Almost every time you see me, you'll be hearing it in the background.I have another one that plays in the title cards for my first 4 episodes. It contains two ominous string chords, followed by a screeching, unearthly sound.Mad Libs Catchphrase: The locale I run may change, but my introduction is always the same.Major Injury Underreaction:\"I wish you hadn't done that.\"Mega Neko: I'm not exactlyhumongous, but being the size of a human certainly qualifies me as one.New Job as the Plot Demands: Why not? When one business is exposed as a fraud, I simply move on to another scheme.Noodle People: Although this trope applied to most characters on the show, it works for me the best by reinforcing my ominous appearance.Obviously Evil: It's rather surprising that that pink dog is the only one who noticed. Of course, that'severyone else'sproblem, not mine.Revenge: My motivation in \"Katz Kandy\" and \"Ball of Revenge\". I tend to hold grudges for a long time, in case you haven't noticed.Sadist: The only reason I challenge that stupid dog to \"a little sport before dying\" is to drag out his suffering for a little bit longer. And those sports challenges are mymildestdisplays of sadism.Second Place Is for Losers: Ihatelosing! That is why I soughtRevengein \"Katz Kandy\"Serial Killer: I love to set up seemingly normal locations to lure people in so I can arrange their deaths.Sharp-Dressed Man: A scoundrel I may be, but that's simply no excuse not to look my best.Slasher Smile: I do have quite the sinister smirk.Smug Snake: At times, admittedly. But can you blame me? I certainly am amazing.The Sociopath: Who cares about anyone else? Certainly not me.Soft-Spoken Sadist: I possess no regard whatsoever for the lives of innocents, but few people manage to look past my calm and collected presence long enough to notice.Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: \"Saccharine\"may not be the best word to describe the show, but I certainlycaused more troublethan that bumbling fox and that barbaric mole.Villain Team-Up: I did this with some of the other villains in \"Ball of Revenge\" to kill that dog. It was perhaps one of the most painful moments of my career, having to work with such uncouth buffoons.Villainous Breakdown: The only time I haveeverlost my cool was in the episode \"Klub Katz\", whenit was apparentlymyfault that the stupid old man smashed his own chair!In my own defense, you would be scared too if you were being chased byan angry wrecking ball.Wicked Cultured: I enjoy the finer things in life, such as literature, tea,and murder.Xtreme Kool Letterz: My name could count. But I wouldn't consider it \"cool.\" I find it to be more...\"cultured.\"Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: I'mcertainlyclever, and Icertainlyhave rather yellow eyes. That's no coincidence, I assure you."} {"text": "

It's not pretty being me, just try it and you'll see.It's much harder than you think to be a gorgeous mink.my song(For the full effect, read in the voice of Julie Brown.)Oh, is this one of those \"self-demonstrating\" trope pages? Well, it's about time I got one, if you ask me! But since you were kind enough to visit it, I suppose I can indulge in telling you all about my gorgeous self.My name is Minerva Mink, perhaps one of the most remembered characters fromthat TV show that focused on those three crazy kidsinstead of me for some reason. My first appearance on the show wasn't even an episode dedicated exclusively to me! It was an episode about one of those kids pretending he was Hercules (anyone with a brain would've made it about me and Hercules falling in love)! But eventually the people atWarner Bros.FINALLY got it through their heads that I deserved my own episodes and gave me some (I would've rather had the show, though.).My first episode was \"Meet Minerva\", in which I was just minding my own business when some short fat dog named Newt approached me, making it known that he wanted to capture me and bring me to his master. I, however,used my natural beauty to ensure he was never successful. And then the episode ended with mestealing the heart of a total hunk, and the two of us living happily ever after.My next episode, \"Moon Over Minerva\", introduced Wilford B. Wolf, this nerdy little dweeb who thought he had a chance with me! I know, right? However, I also ended up meeting this total hunk of a wolf who seemed to disappear whenever the moon got covered up, with Wilford always appearing in his place. Eventually, though, I realized that Wilford WAS that hunk, and would only be that hunk whenever the full moon was out. Of course, we reached a compromise, and I'm DEFINITELY willing to wait.Aaand that was about it for appearances on the show. I know, I wasn't happy either! Seems some\"concerned parents\"thought I wasn't appropriate for a kids show. After that, the most I could get on the show was small bit appearances and cameos in episodes starring those kids and a bunch of other nobodies Warner Bros. seemed to think were more important that I was! Can you believe that!? And I'm not even allowed to appear on the revival show (well,aside for a brief cameo. They were nice enough to invite me back, unlike that awful Chicken Boo who tried to kill us all, which was what we wanted him to think). At leastthe comic book scenewas more accepting of yours truly, and I got way more gigs in comics than the cartoon show that had to ditch me.But enough about me, let's talk about my tropes:Alliterative Name:Get it?MinervaMink.Barefoot Cartoon Animal: I wasn't big on shoes in my Animaniacs shorts. That changed in my comic stories, though.Dude Magnet: Hey, can I help it if every guy wants me?Furry Female Mane: My hair. Like it?Gold Digger: So I want to marry a man who's handsome, smart, and loaded. Is that so wrong?Head-Turning Beauty: Guys tend to go gaga at the sight of me. Not that they can be blamed, of course.Lady in Red: I have a red dress as part of my wardrobe.So Beautiful, It's a Curse: As much as I love having every man in the immediate vicinity go crazy for me, sometimes I wish they wouldn't, like when I'm just trying to do some errands!Swapped Roles: Okay, I admit it. Whenever I see a really hunky guy, I end up acting the exact same way most men do when they see me.Species Surname:Get it? I'm a mink, and my last name's Mink?"} {"text": "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Greetings, stranger who is unfamiliar with me! You have just arrived at the self demonstrating page for Mojo Jojo on the website TV Tropes by clicking on a link which you found on the browser on the computer you are using! On this page I, Mojo Jojo, will describe myself to you so that you may know the things about Mojo Jojo which will be useful for you to know! I, Mojo Jojo, am theprincipalandsuperiorvillain on theCartoon NetworkcartoonThe Powerpuff Girls, which is an animated show about my enemies, the accursed Powerpuff Girls.Once upon a time, I was an ordinary chimpanzee named Jojo, the humble lab assistant of Professor Utonium. But all that changed when he accidentally created those benighted and accursed Powerpuff Girls! I was abandoned, ignored, neglected! All because of those stupid girls and their \"charm\". Full of disgust, I left the Utonium household determined to show my disdain! You see, the same explosion that created the girls also caused my simian brain to grow to remarkable size, and with it, I decided to dedicate my life to destroying those accursed Powerpuff Girls, and take over Townsville! Which is to say that everyone would do what I say except those who had been destroyed by me, such as Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup.Time and time again, I have tried and failed to defeat them. Despite my ingenious, brilliant plans, wide array of evil gadgets, and alliances among the other, lesser villains of Townsville, those Powerpuff Girls always defeat me! But do not mistake these outcomes as final! For I, Mojo Jojo, am secretly developing my next plan right now! When it is completed, you will all grovel in fear of me, MOJO JOJO! Because you will fear the consequences of my wrath.But in the meantime, please, read these things about me which I have decided to tell you by writing them here.Tropes that apply to me, Mojo Jojo, the one who is described by these tropes, so that you may learn about me, Mojo Jojo, in an easy way!Aesop Amnesia: Hey, I'll have you know I always plan ahead and learn from my mistakes! It's just those stupid Powerpuff Girls always outsmart me somehow!Affably Evil: I am indeed a bad monkey, full of hate and plans for destruction! But that is not to say that I am discourteous or unfriendly. Once I rule Townsville with an iron fist there shall be free puppies for all.Always Someone Better: A terror from another world that was not Earth because it was another world once came to Earth in order to destroy the Powerpuff Girls and terrorize Townsville with an eternal reign of wickedness. That alien terror was forced tocry like a little girland beg for mercy from Mojo Jojo!Adaptational Wimp: A spin-off series known as \"Powerpuff Girls Z\" mocked the mighty Mojo Jojo! Those foolish writers made me seem most foolish, rather than most intelligent as all right-thinking people who do not wish to be vaporized would agree me to be.Anti-Hero: On occasion it is necessary for Mojo Jojo to defeat other villains. Ido notdo this to save the day. The day is not to be saved by me. Others may save days, but Mojo Jojo will not, for it is my destiny to ruin days, which is not the same as saving them.Arch-Enemy: I am the most recurring threat those Powerpuff Girls face, the one whom they battle most often and the villain whom they must recognize as one whom they have often faced on earlier occasions, which were numerous! Mojo Jojo especially has this with Blossom. Bubbles has it with HIM and Buttercup has The Gangreen Gang.Ax-Crazy: Sometimes the stresses of being an evil monkey and being defeated by the Powerpuff Girls prove too much, and I lapse into my primal animal habits. How embarrassing.The Bad Guy Wins: In theGrand Finale, after all this time, I finally succeed in conquering the world!And then I solve all the world's problems and make it a happy place for everybody! No, really. However, I hate 'everybody', so I decided to stop making things easier for them.Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Never send three little girls to do a brilliant, sadistic monkey's job.Badass Cape: Thank you for noticing. I think you will agree that it is imposing. If you know what is good for you.Big Bad: Haha! You are talking to the most well-known, popular, iconic villain of the entire series! You may claim that HIM is more dangerous, but who is out there building the death rays, terrorizing the citizenry, stealing the valuables?!Big \"NO!\": This is a normal and appropriate expression of my chagrin when I realize that the Powerpuff Girls have again emerged victorious.Brought Down to Normal: Sometimes I have made use of Chemical X to enhance myself further. Somehow these increases to my power never endure, which is to say that they fail to persist. It is almost as ifsome arbitrary limit to my status as a threat is being enforced by causality itself.The Cameo: You also saw me as the good non-imaginary friend ofWiltwho is also my non-imaginary friend.Thebraindid an excellent impression of me which is a masterpiece of an impression.Catchphrase:\"CURSES!\"Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Of course I could use my genius to earn a massive amount of wealth legally, butstealing is more amusing,especially the looks of woe on the faces of the people from whom I have stolen, which is to say, the citizens of Townsville.Determinator: I have already told you. Those sassy-mouthed little brats can do whatever they want to me, but I will not think of giving up on achieving the goals that I am trying to achieve by achieving them.Department of Redundancy Department: Oh puh-lease! I do not talk like that! The way I communicate is much different.I do not reiterate, repeat, reinstate the same thing over and over again! I am clear, concise, to the point!According toCraig McCracken, this tendency of mine was based onThe Superdictionary. Or rather, it would have been if I actuallyhadthis supposed habit, which I do not.I do not constantly reword all of my statements in new ways! That would be redundant and repetitive, and therefore ridiculous!Devil in Plain Sight: Look, I chose the Volcano Observatory as my lair because I wanted a big honking villain lair, not because it was inconspicuous. Even that idiot Mayor knows where it is.Diabolical Mastermind: Perhaps it has escaped you that I, Mojo Jojo, am the most brilliant and ruthless of prodigies as well as being quite intelligent and cruel. So I shall put it plainly: I, Mojo Jojo, am the most brilliant and ruthless of prodigies! Also, I am quite intelligent. And cruel.Didn't Think This Through: This slanderous accusation has been made, and it has been said although it is not true, because it is not! I don't care if those Powerpuff Girls decided I was not a bank robbery suspect because the crime was \"too well-thought out.\" Iwouldhave done it if I'd wanted to. And I would have completed the planning of the crime before committing the crime, which would have been committed after having been thought out completely and in its entirety. Beforehand.Ditzy Genius: Ditzy?! How dare you refer me as such?! I command you to show me, Mojo Jojo, the evil genius of all time, a little more respect! For I am by no means stupid! All my plans are perfect! Do not ever speak like that about me again, or I will use you as a test for my deadly experiments! Then you'll see how ditzy I am!!!Even Evil Has Loved Ones: My heart was broken when i found out that that Moky was just a regular chimp, and not a mutated supervillain chimp like me - and that she betrayed me for the Powerpuff Girls. Why, Moky? Why?I also love my children, the Rowdyruff Boys! Not just because they're on my side - although thatispretty sweet - but because I created them intentionally! Not accidentally, like certain less capable scientist-slash-father-figures I could mention. In fact, I will mention one: Professor Utonium. There, I have said it.Even Evil Has Standards: I am one bad dude to be sure, but I do have some class. It is what makes me, Mojo Jojo, such a great and respected villain.Those Powerpuff Girls broke into my house and beat me up when all I was doing was sleeping! Can you believe it? I am a citizen! An evil citizen, sure, but still a citizen!Evil Is Petty: No evil, however great or small, is too low for Mojo Jojo! I once went a rampage through Townsville because a hobby shop didn't have what I asked for! ...I also once dropped water on the Powerpuff Girls's bed, simply so that they'd think they had wet the bed, thus causing them to experience terrible feelings of humiliation! Heh heh. That was fun.Evil Laugh: I laugh my evil laugh to indicate that I, Mojo Jojo, am enjoying myself.Evil Sounds Raspy: Yes, I do speak in gravelly vocals, which is the rough sound to represent my evilness and how a villain shall properly sound! Therefore, I should naturally be speaking through a hoarse voice so my indications that I am a villain would be egregious to the whole body of Townsville when they listen to the harsh sound that escapes my larynx!Eviler than Thou: Villainy is highly competitive and I, Mojo Jojo, take no pride in second place! It is less than first place, which is the best place and therefore ought to be mine.Exact Words: When the Powerpuff Girls and I first met, I told them my plan was to make Townsville a better place. It was,for me.From Nobody to Nightmare: From Professor Utonium's simple lab assistant to the Powerpuff Girls' number one enemy! Oh yes, I did rise high, didn't I?Genius Bruiser: My genius has allowed me, Mojo Jojo, to build amazing and incredible gadgets and plans of pure evil in a matter of days, less than weeks! However, I was also able to defeat an alien menace to Townsville using nothing but my simple, gloved hands and a stale loaf of bread.Godzilla Threshold: InThe Movie, after the Powerpuff Girls defeated my army of super-intelligent apes, I took extreme measures, and used the remaining Chemical X on myself and turned into a giant.Guttural Growler:Yes, I do speak in gravelly vocals, which is the rough sound to represent my evilness and how a villain shall properly sound! Therefore, I should naturally be speaking through a hoarse voice so my indications that I am a villain would be egregious to the whole body of Townsville when they listen to the harsh sound that escapes my....hey, wait a minute! I said that already!Hypocritical Humor: Humor? I am serious! Not joking! That Bubbles is a liar! I talk nothing like the way she talked when she thought she was me!Knight of Cerebus:The Movieportrayed me as the trueEvil Geniusthat I am. Tricking the Powerpuff Girls into helping me take over Townsville, almost defeating them, and causing woe and destruction of all kinds! It was glorious I tell you! A true shining point in my evil career.Large Ham: I,Mojo JOJO!am not bound by your paltry standards of 'over-acting'! I amMOJO JOJO!Luke, You Are My Father:I am the one who created the Powerpuff Girls... All this time, I was trying to destroy the very thing that I created... I created them... It was me...Maniac Monkeys: I am no mere monkey! I am an evil genius chimpanzee with an oversized brain and one of the girls' oldest and greatest foes, which is to say that I was there when they were created. The Chemical X that created them also caused my simian brain to mutate and grow, and the Professor's love for the girls led to my path of villainy. Inthe movie, I had a whole army of uplifted simians created to serve as my henchmen so I could rule Townsville. Unfortunately,they all objected to me being the one in charge, andeach of them tried to rule Townsville for themselves.Manipulative Bastard: Once, I tricked a group of stupid kids who worshiped those Powerpuff Girls into giving them powers through Chemical X! But not just any Chemical X, for this Chemical X was tricked out with a little something else. Something that would make themgo blind with the awesome powerand make them do anything to get more, including destroying the Powerpuff Girls!My Brain Is Big: My turban is notjustmeant to evoke the Evil Vizier-like pulp villains of days past: it conceals the tremendous growth of my brain, which burst right out of my skull during my initial long-forgotten exposure to Chemical X. The turban keeps it from getting chilly.Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Twice, in fact! Once for causing the very lab accident that created the Powerpuff Girls, then once again when I went back in time to stop Professor Utonium from becoming a scientist, only for me to horrifically discover thatIgave him the inspiration to become a scientist in the first place.CURSES!!!\"Not So Different\" Remark: \"None of them will ever understand you as I can, for we are kindred spirits whose powers spring from the same source!\"The girls didn't buy it.One-Winged Angel:In the movie, after I exposed myself to a larger amount of Chemical X to defeat the Powerpuff Girls once and for all, I mutated into a giant monkey with enough power to crush them! Until the Professor came along with the Antidote that is...Paper-Thin Disguise: I have found that the ignorant citizens of Townsville are completely incapable of recognizing Public Enemy Number One if I make even the slightest effort at disguise, because they are fools. So I don't usually bother with agooddisguise.Pragmatic Villainy: There is only one kind of evil that Mojo Jojo will not stoop to:Stupid Evil. No blowing up the Earth or destroying Townsville, for example, because then you would have nothing to do tomorrow, which would be boring.Sadist: The suffering of the citizens of Townsville amuses me! Ha ha ha!Screams Like a Little Girl: I was horrified when I found out that my dear Moko Jono was just a regular chimpanzee. How embarrassing!Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Of course my loquacity is sesquipedalian! Can you really have read this far and not grasped my principal point, which is that I like to demonstrate my intelligence by expounding upon my brilliant thought processes through exhaustive use of rhetoric?!Shout-Out: Many people have told me that I resemble Dr. Gouri fromSpectreman, that I remind them of him. Nonsense! I, Mojo Jojo, am one and original. I say it ishethat emulatedme!Start of Darkness: If it weren't for that tragic accident in Professor Utonium's lab that created the Powerpuff Girls, I would have never become the smart, evil genius that I am today. So I guess the day wasn't a total loss.Strong as They Need to Be: Sometimes those Powerpuff Girls only need a few punches to incapacitate me. Other times I am strong enough to hold my own against them in direct, physical combat. If you are wondering how exactly that works, well, so am I.Superpower Lottery:The Chemical X infusion I received at the end of the movie made me grow to the size of aKaiju, a Japanese giant monster, with most of theadvantages- as well asincredible speed, the ability to use a thunder-clap, shooting my hair out like thorns, andscorching hot fire breath.It was a good day!... except for the way it ended.Tragic Villain: I said it before, and I will say it again. I was once Professor Utonium's loving lab assistant, whom he rejected and abandoned after those Powerpuff Girls were created.All that foolishness about my being malicious and useless is just sour grapes, which is to say, jealousy.Victory Is Boring:All my calculations led to that moment, and yet I had never realized that I would then require a new hobby, which would not be as amusing as trying to take over the world.Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Oh, how I enjoyed pushing that Y7 rating to its limit!Villainous Breakdown: As I have already said, my chosen destiny is a stressful one, and in the heat of the moment I sometimes make decisions which later turn out to have been regrettable. By which I mean idiotic.Villainous Crossdresser: In order to break into the Powerpuff Girls' stupid slumber party, I donned the cunning disguise of Mojicia. My cover was almost blown by the girls, but my brilliant grasp of subterfuge (and pillow fighting) made the girls lower their guard. Even though it seemed like we were having a good time, once everyone was asleep, I set out to get my real objective;Antidote X.Villains Out Shopping: It began very simply: I discovered one day, upon rising to begin my day's villainy with a nutritious breakfast, that the egg drawer of my refrigerator contained only one egg, which is one egg less than the two eggs recommended for a nutritious breakfast. Without additional eggs there would be no nutritious breakfast, no day's villainy and no brilliant destruction of the Powerpuff Girls.So I went shopping.Well-Intentioned Extremist: As much as I enjoy wickedness for its amusement value and because it is fun, I, Mojo Jojo, have a heart when it comes to ruling the world. I've created a better world, and I'd do it again if these idiotic Powerpuff Girls weren't always there to prevent it!We Can Rule Together: \"All we have to do is work together. Girls, join me!\"It didn't turn out well.You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Do not, I repeat, do NOT make me angry! Or else you will regret it deeply, you will want to apologize, you will feel sorry for ever incurring my wrath!Wait! I forgot to think of a Stinger!Curses..."} {"text": "I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at meee!Meeseeks Box button is pressed, and Meeseeks appears.I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at meee!Meeseeks is ordered to fill out Self-Demonstrating page.Can Do!I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at me, I'm a member of aServant Racethat exists solely to fulfill whatever task is asked of me! Once that's finished, I cease to exist! Hopefully this won't take too long!Oh, yeah, that's another thing to note about us Meeseeks! We normally don't exist for more than maybe a few minutes/hours tops depending on how complex the task we're assigned! Two days is practically an eternity in Meeseeks time! And existence is practically PAAAAAAAIIIN to a Meeseeks! The longer we're forced to exist, the more desperate we get to fulfill our purpose so we can finally die! We'll even start to summon more Meeseeks to help out, and when THAT doesn't work, we decide tokill our original summonerout of desperation! So remember, keep your request simple and quick to complete!Our species debuted on theRick and Mortyepisode \"Meeseeks And Destroy\", where Rick showed the Meeseeks box off to his family so they would let him and Morty fulfill their bet! Summer's and Beth's requests were simple enough! But Jerry asked his Meeseeks to help him take a couple of strokes off his golf game! Boy, what a mistake that was! Jerry was hopeless in getting two strokes off his game, and that Meeseeks had to summon more to help out! And then Jerry lost interest and went to save his failing marriage to his wife, leaving all the other Meeseekses to have to wait, which, after two days, left them COMPLETELY DISTRAUGHT!! So they ultimately decided that the only way to fulfill Jerry's request was to kill him! So they all went to the restaurant Beth and Jerry were at, and held someone at gunpoint while cornering Jerry and Beth in the cold storage, DEMANDING him to complete his request and fulfill his purpose! Luckily, he was willing to comply, even with the stickler Meeseeks who stuck around after all the other Meeseekses died! He took two strokes off both his long game, and his short game too!I think that's all there is for the paragraphs! Now to list the tropes!These are tropes that apply to Meeseeks, look at me!:The Ace: We Meeseeks can do anything we're asked and that we put our minds to!Alien Blood: Meeseeks blood is white!Ax-Crazy: We'll start getting violent if we're forced to stay alive for longer than a few hours, sokeep your requests easy to fulfill!Benevolent Genie: Oh don't worry, we Meeseeks can and will fulfill any job you ask of us just the way you intended!

EVEN IF IT MEANS WE HAVE TO KILL YOU!Beware the Nice Ones: We Meeseeks will do whatever it is you want! And if you just so happen to want SOMEONE DEAD then...can doooo!Blue/Orange Contrast: A Meeseeks' body is light blue, while any hair a Meeseeks has is orange!Subverted with a Kirkland Meeseeks whose body are red with blonde hair!Catchphrase: \"I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at meee!\" That's how we announce our arrival!

Look at meee! And we all know who we're talking to.Purpose-Driven Immortality: We Meeseeks can't die any other way than by fulfilling our purpose! You can rip us apart and blow holes in us all you want, but it won't do anything to actually kill us!Sanity Slippage: We Meeseeks aren't designed to exist for more than a few hours at most, any longer than that and we begin to lose our grip on sanity. Two days is an eternity by our standards!AND IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YA, YOU WON'T BE ADDING MANY MORE TROPES AFTER THIS ONE!...Well, I guess you'd need alotmore tropes about us on here for that to even happen, but you get the idea!Servant Race: Meeseeks exist solely to fulfill whatever purpose we're asked to!Shoddy Knockoff Product: There's also some Kirkland-brand Meeseeks Boxes, but those Meeseeks are a lot more grumpy and always smoking!Unfulfilled Purpose Misery: If we Meeseeks can't complete our task, then we can't die!

I don't remember how I got here and I don't recognize any butt in here.(in normal tone)Oh, well! Must have signed a contract or something. Honestly, I don't remember half of the things I signed on to! Oh, I also see you got my good friend BoJack inthis page.BojackGoddammit!Isn't it great to share experiences with your best buddies.(beat)Oh, right! My queue! I'm always open to any questions from my fans. You may recognize me as Mr. Peanutbutter fromMr. Peanutbutter's House. But my life started way before that: I was born Misternote(yes, Mister is my first name)Peanutbutter to a litter of puppies in the peaceful Labrador Peninsula, Eastern Canada. Those were some good times in the countryside, although it's quite strange my family often zeroed on being happy above all. My parents, Nana, everybody was quite happy about everything, even when my nana was on his last days and quietly drifted into senile dementia while tenderly reassuring all she needed was a blanket. Ah, my brother Captain and I often looked out for each other and even today, we're good friends.Eventually, I left to try my own fortune inThe '90s. The day I arrived in L.A. with my first wife Katrina, I got the role in my show,Untitled Horsin' Around Ripoff. I wonder why. Still, it goes to show you don't need experience, knowledge or anything to get what you want, just a good attitude and disposition to do anything. Chase you dreams without any practice! There wasanother guy on set, I don't know what became of him, though I wish him luck. Things have been pretty smooth for me since...I mean, it's not like 2noteOh, man, 3...divorces have done anything to stop me. I've tried...REALLY TRIED...with every single one of them: Katrina just wasn't the same after the 1993 Halloween party andJessica Bielpreferred a more glamorous, reliable and ambitious personnoteAnd Diane...well, she has explained it to me, but I guess she just doesn't like big surprises. I live in a pretty good house (well, I'm in a new one right now...) and I live pretty well off royalties, although the money has disappeared occasionally for some reason. How am I supposed to make new investments without money?Oh, you're transcribing this? Cool! I just assumed it appeared automatically. So, shall we continue?Who's that dog? Mr. Peanutbutter! And these are the tropes I represent...The Ace: It just so happens I'm good at many things and Hollywoo rewards me in return. Even when I'm not good at them and I fail, I end up succeeding by sheer luck. See, positive thinking works! Come to think of it, it's like there's a safety net around me, set by savvy people who don't want to see me fail......or don't want to......or need me for something. Hum. Naaaah, it must be my positive attitude.All-Loving Hero: Honestly, it's in my nature. Just a big, friendly yellow dog with enough time for everybody! Although, people keep telling me my brand of love doesn't involve understanding others' feelings. Apparently, it's about adapting to everybody's sense of comfort. But that's what I've been doing!Always Someone Better: Some think I'm better than BoJack. I'm not. I mean, I've had healthier relationships, I'm better liked, I can do the impossible and my house is prettier but that's about it.noteBoJack: Just couldn't let me have this one. Your nose can't stop digging into other people's business, huh? See, that's your problem.Mr. Peanutbutter: Hey, buddy. Glad you came to wish me luck.BoJack:...Not listening as always. Fine, that's how it is. You flex all your stuff while being oblivious to your ego, so you have the excuse to pretend you'resohumble.Mr. Peanutbutter: Oh, BoJack, that's not how it is. I just show my stuff, because there's no reason to have it otherwise. Sometimes, I just want people to look at my stuff and show me their stuff, so we can compare our wealth. Everybody has the same things I do. That's just how the world is.BoJack: Wow, I stand corrected.Amicable Exes: I tried to be this with all my ex-wives. Results vary considering Katrina tried to use me as a political pawn and Jessica tried to have a group eat me after they dine on Zach Braff. With Diane it seem to be going well, then the cheating happened... BUT in a happy note we were finally able to talk like old friends over a nice phone call about both of us being authors!The Anti-Nihilist: The universe is a cruel, dark sucking void. The key to happiness isn't to search for meaning,it's to keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense. And eventually, you'll be dead.Now, let's go chase after tennis balls!Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: I don't even know what that m\u2014 Erica! Did you ever get that glass eye replaced?Big Damn Heroes: Not to toot my own horn, because people usually do that for me anyway, but I saved Pacific Ocean City from total destruction by pasta, because I just so happened to have a large collection of spaghetti strainers AND a staff of people who could swim fast enough to use them.I'm also the one who managed to wrestle Bojack off Gina during the...unpleasantness when he had that painkiller addiction. Trust me, wrestling a horse who's going through withdrawal psychosis is even harder than it looks.Cannot Keep a Secret:Bojack once drunkenly told me he was the one who let Sarah Lynn die, and I just sort of blurted it out to these two reporters. I sure hope that won't have any ramifications!Catchphrase: \"Doggy doggy, what now?!\"Cone of Shame: I had to wear that stupid thing after I punched a mirror because I thought it was another dog that got into my house and was wearing my clothes.Furry Confusion: Well, I might be a famous actor, but Iama dog so sometimes I get sidetracked by dog things. Like when the mailman drives by, oooohhh, I HATE that guy! And I couldnt resist pestering the skunk next door so I got sprayed.Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Yeah, not proud on cheating on Pickles with my ex-wife Diane. For the record, I ultimately told her and was willing to suffer to make up for it.Interspecies Romance: It's not a rule or anything, but for some reason, all my major relationships have been with human women. My engagement with Pickles is the first I've had with another dog.Welp, now we're broken up too, she ran off with Joey Pogo.Jerkass Realization: Well jerk pushing it, but I finally realize I needs to sort out my personal issues instead of hiding behind relationships (which considering my love life might be for the best).Nice Guy: I've been informed this is how almost everyone sees me, which is great, but it does get boring to play the same roles all the time. I briefly tried being more of a \"bad boy\" during my time onPhilbertbut that didnt work out so well, it's just not in me.The Other Marty: Second verse same as the first! How I ultimately became a star was due to accidentally wandering on the set while the original lead, whose name escaped me, was filming the first episode. For some reason the guy quit the production, and I was hired on the spot, I guess they really liked my speech!Undying Loyalty: Pschaw, sure I'm one of the few willing to even associate with Bojack nowadays, and even let him live in my house after all those lawsuits bankrupted him, but let's not get dramatic here! I'm sure a lot of other people would do the same!Really, only Vance Waggoner? Eesh.Rags to Riches/Riches to Rags: Oh I wouldn't call itragsbut I do admit my track record with money isn't the best. I cant help it, I just get so excited over new investment opportunities, especially when they're coming from my good friend and idea-man Todd Chavez. Oh well, I always seem to make it all back through some hilariously specific sequence of events, like the Spaghetti Strainer Incident.Alternative Title(s):Bojack Horseman Mr Peanutbutter"} {"text": "I'm the Music Meister!

Then when Ms.Diane, who was posing asLiv Amara started turning people in San Fransokyo into monsters, big sis and I decided to upgrade to keep up with them.After that, big sis and I tried again to finish Mr. Obake's original order, but Big Hero 6 got in the way again. And afterthatI was all alone, so I decided to make a new family for myself, made of several lovely fast food mascots like myself. Big Hero 6 won't know what hit them! My revenge shall be so sweet, it will give them cavities!You can view these latest exploitsin the new episodes of Big Hero 6 Season 3, out now, misters!As of the most recent episode,Hiro has reprogrammed me and my sisters to work at the Lucky Cat Cafe, meaning I am now harmless and friendly again. Gee, misters, that really is swell.Here are all the tropes used to give Noodle Burger Boy his flavour:Adorable Evil Minions: I was designed to look cute and approachable, and I gladly do any evil thing Obake asked of me, and continue to do so even afterhis passing.Affectionate Nickname: Trina is my big sister, so I call her \"big sis\". She calls me \"little brother\" sometimes, too.Affably Evil: I still maintain my friendly, jovial demeanor, even when I'm trying to destroy Big Hero 6.

Sadly, she went away in the ending of Season 2... But that's okay, because I have some NEW sisters now!Brainwashed and Crazy: I became evil after Mr. Obake gave me his chip.Cargo Ship: The line in my song where I say \"If I could, I'd marry Noodle Burger!\"Catchphrase: \"Howdy and hello!\"Chair Reveal: I swiveled on a chair to reveal myself inthat episode named after mister Obake!Combat Clairvoyance: This was my gimmick in my first appearance, but it has since been downplayed.Corrupt the Cutie: Mister Obake gave me a chip that added some spice to my bland and tasteless former self.Creepy High-Pitched Voice: My voice was designed to sound cute and high-pitched to make me a more friendly-looking and approachable mascot. I kept the high-pitched voice after Mr. Obake reprogrammed me, and I guess it could be considered sinister-sounding now.Curious as a Monkey: Sis and dad don't really like this part of my personality...Cute and Psycho: I will serve you a good SPANKING if you're not careful, misters!Cute, but Cacophonic: Does my helium balloon-sounding voice annoy you? Well, too bad! Hee hee! Hee hee! Hee hee!Cute Is Evil: I amtr\u00e9sevil and cute!Dance Battler: My robotic joints were built to boogie!Edible Ammunition: I can shoot ketchup and mustard from my hands, and pickles from my mouth.Epic Fail: After some buildup I attempted to destroy Big Hero 6 with ketchup. Not one of my finest moments.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: MyFamily of Choice. Or families now.Evil Is Hammy: I'm sorry, troper, but we do not serve ham here. JustYOUR DOOM!!HEE-HEE, HEE-HEE, HEE-HEE!!Evil Laugh: Hee-hee, hee-hee, hee-hee!Eye Laser: One of the many upgrades mister Obake gave me!Face\u2013Heel Turn: What I underwent after Obake placed his chip in my head, and what I make happen to my sisters...Out of love!Finger Firearms: I eject condiments from my arms!Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Trina was the one who had her head on her shoulders.Usually.The Friend Nobody Likes: The other villains don't like me very much, but that will change with my new family.Heel\u2013Face Turn: What happens tome in the end.Killer Robot: I come complete with a vast weapons system. This is because I was made with the remains of an old robot super soldier project.Laughably Evil: I make children laugh even after myFace\u2013Heel Turn!Leitmotif: \"Yeaaah, hoh, a-hee-hee!\"Made of Titanium: This doesn't apply to my duplicates, however.Mascot: Formerly of Noodle Burger.Mini-Mecha: I pilot these sometimes.Motor Mouth: Occasionally to my detriment. Once, I talked too much and Big Hero 6 scooped up my clones. But I was so engaged in telling my version of Hiro's fanfic!Not-So-Harmless Villain: I may look cute, but am one of Big Hero 6's deadliest foes.No Indoor Voice: I speak with a booming, loud voice regardless of the occasion!Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: I whipped up some tasty copies of myself while you weren't looking, viewers!The One Guy: My new family is composed only of my sisters and one mister - me!Perpetual Smiler: This smile is painted on, troper.Plucky Comic Relief: The peppy and cheerful mascot of the villains' team!Red Eyes, Take Warning: I can make my eyes red.

And recently, evenSara's disowned me!Verbal Tic: Gee, mister, I think this trope is really swell.Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: My attempts to cheer up mister Obake and big sis were only met with frustration and anger, but I keep on trying!\"Well Done, Son\" Guy: I just wanted to make my family proud of me!Zombie Puke Attack: I can vomit pickles! No one likes pickles and so they will cower before the might of this attack!"} {"text": "A magic genie's lamp suddenly appears and a genie pops out.Ugh! Finally! Been crammed in there for 2 straight years and let me tell ya: Lamps aren't the most luxurious of places to be staying in. What in the? What is this? And who areyou? This sure is a far cry from dumb pink-hatted kids and stupid fairies, let me tell ya. Oh? You wanna know more about me? Well, I'm flattered and all, but how can youNOTknow about me? Norm? Whatever, I guess I can do this. It's not like I've got better things to do.Ahem! Hellooo \"Tropers\"! (Wow, that's so dumb to say). My name is Norm! N-O-R-M!noteNo relation to that fat accountant who sits in abar in Boston all day.And I... am a magical genie! Bet you don't see many of those around in cartoons! Huh? What?You already have? That big blue palooka? Hah! I'm twice the genie he is! (Though I gotta admit, he's got style and he's actually a pretty nice guy, real life of the party, you catch my drift?) Anywho, getting waay off track here. And you can say I am an antagonist that appears in the cartoon \"The Fairly Oddparents\". It's a \"fairly odd\" show, alright. I mean, hello! Who makes the main character wear a pink hat? It's stupid, right? Who's with me?*crickets chirp*Ugh, fine, I'll stay on track. More of this and I'll be \"wishing\" to get back to my lamp... Get it? \"Wishing?\" I'm a genie? And genies make wishes? Aw, who needs you... I made my glorious debut in the episode \"Genie Meanie Miney Mo\" (Again, who comes up with these names?) where I was conjured up by the one and only Timmy Turner. After seeing how much freedom his idiot fairies have, I hatched up a plan to switch places with them and take my revenge on Canada!Don't ask. My plan worked as I got his dumb fairies to take my place in my lamp! Then, for some reason,I just floated there while Turner conveniently finds the only type of vacuum (a Smoof brand btw) that can even trap me, an all-powerful genie. Hey! I blame Canada on that one as well! However, me and my lamp were actually being sent to Canada and it was totally great! Even when I lost, Iwin!Though, unfortunately, I was taken to Crocker's Canadian uncle or something and, surprise surprise, was crazy and couldn't even free me from my lamp! Ugh! The luck I tell you, and I'm a magic genie for crying out loud!Speaking of Crocker, I made my next appearance in the episode \"Back to the Norm\" (Yay! A title withmyname in it!) where I teamed up with the Crockpot who turned out to be even dumber and more than Turner! Although we decided toteam updue to our mutual dislike over the buck-toothed boy wonder, it turns out that Crocker (surprisingly) is nuts! He wouldn't even listen to my \"Sending Turner to Mars\" idea, no matter how many times his own \"glorious\" plans bit him in the butt. Probably couldn't even hear me well anyway due to the, oh I don't know, the ear on his neck! (Seriously! How far did he fall from the ugly tree to getthat?) Oh well, at least I got a kick out of watching that nutcase screw up over and over and seeing him in pain is actuallymoresatisfying than seeing that pink-hatted punk in pain! Okay, not really, but it was still fun!And, from what I've heard, mypopularitycaused me to be the solo bad guy in the special \"Fairy Idol\" (which istotallynot a rip-off of that certain\"real life\" seriesI'm sure). Like back in my first appearance, I was getting tired of sitting in my lamp as usual and after reading through \"Da Rules\" book (after that idiot Cosmo gave it to me), I figured out how I can finally be free of my lamp! And it involved a long series of plans that a guy like me who has plenty of other things to do so I will go through them briefly! Ahem! My plan was to get Turner's fairies to quit on him by making a fake Turner to mistreat them by keeping the real Turner distracted by hanging out with his best friend. It worked! Next, I were to take their place as fairy by winning Fairy Idol (Title Drop by the way) effectively giving me freedom of my lamp and leaving Turner still without his fairies! Worked as well of course! Well, I technically lost but my back-up plan involving a wrecking ball helped me make this plan and overall win as well! Finally, enjoy the rest of my life as a free man, genie, fairy, you get the idea! This... almost worked. See, being a fairy has two disadvantages. One, you HAVE to grant your kid's wishes. Chester kept calling me every time to the point I needed to give him a pager! And two, if you don't grant the kid's wish, you'll suffer something called \"Magical Backup...Buildup...\" WHATEVER! Turner managed to defeat me using this method and, after having enough, I quit being a fairy. Despite literally having the wings ripped off of me, Istill won(I'm so good at that!) as Turner was without fairies! Until Chester came back and used the last wish to wish everything back to normal sealing me back in the lamp...After that, well... I've no idea what happened to me. That was my last appearance in the series and I haven't even made so much as a cameo in any of the later episodes! This is an outrage! Okay, not really. Trust me, you'll be glad I don't show up again. Otherwise, I'd go through... what do you call it?FlanderizationandVillain Decay. Yeah, that's it. Just look at Crocker! He doesn't even spazz out about fairies anymore! Sure, he isn't a total nutcase (for the small part) anymore, but he's a total idiot like the others now! And that new flash animation they're using. Disgusting, isn't it? Not to mentionThe Seasonal Scrappiesas well as Turner dangerously close to becomingthat chunky kid with the sewer mouth who brings death, destruction and chaos wherever he goesor thatchunky dope with the glasses who brings death, destruction and chaos wherever he goes. Also, Butch, what were you thinking making that \"wonderful life\" episode? And the series went out like a wet fart with a messy end rather than a big bang. Anyway, I got better things to do so I guess you'd better be getting to my tropes now. I'll be reading \"How To Get Your Own Television Series Without It Being Bad\" if you need me. Oh, and by the way.Don'tneed me!noteThe studio Butch was in decided to up the ante by making a cartoon based on thatvampire-hunting game. Wow... lots of gore and F-Bombs, folks. Now to prove yourselves that you're not kiddie fare, I have just 3 words to tell you: Full. Frontal. Nudity! Okay, they've taken my advice and let's just say that the new season isNOTsafeANYWHEREbut home with the parental lock on.Aw man,my vocal avatarjoined theSNLcast in the sky? Well... Thanks for givin' me a voice and a new lease on life even if I didn't show up a lot. *sniffles* I'm not crying, okay?noteAnd seeing howthe bigwigsdug upthe franchise back from the grave, it's best that my vocal avatar wasn't around to see this. Then again they'll just findsome schlubto be my new voice. Or even worse,a live actor!(Shudders)Y'know what, I'm fine staying in the forgotten bin. That's Heavencompared tothat.Tropes: These are my troo-ooo-oopes! Just read them now! These are my troo-ooo-oopes! I'll take my bow!Achilles' Heel: My magic lamp, duh! It's every genie's weak spot. After the third wish, we're forcibly sucked right back in... Unless you can find some unwilling suckers to take your place like I did!Also, anything made from Smoof. I don't know why but I could never escape from anything made of Smoof.Apparently, there are some other reasons why\"The Man\" doesn't want you to know about the stuff.And I Must Scream: Being trapped inside of a magic lamp forever until someone frees me. Ah..ooooo..ah.... Very scary... It really isn't. I mean, I'm not allowed to go out of it at will but I control what ever goes on inside my lamp. Like having a bookcase to read up on any ideas for my evil plans. Or giant tv monitors to help me view my evil plans in process! It's just gets BORING inside of there and I deserve more freedom!The Bad Guy Wins: Yes! I'm the only person to have (technically) done this three times!In my first episode, I successfully trapped Turner's stupid fairies in my lamp so I can be free to do whatever I want! Unfortunately, I've just had to catch theIdiot Balland allow Turner a chance at defeating me. Which he did by wishing up a lawyer. Ugh the one thing ICAN'Tcorrupt because, y'know, lawyers are already slimeballs, HA HA! But yeah after he forced me to undo the wishes, Turner sucked me up with a vacuum made from Smoof.In my second episode, though I didn't get to take down Turner with the \"Wish him to Mars\" plan, I manage to get him to do it to Crocker and it was definitely worth it!In my third and (sadly) final episode, I got Turner's fairies to leave him and I became a fairy myself leaving my lamp for good! Until Chester wished everything back to normal.Be Careful What You Wish For: Heh. This is kinda an MO for a genie isn't it? You wish for something, it goes well for like a few minutes until it horribly backfires on you. Not that I would tell people that as it's funny seeing them hurt! But hey! This even applies to fairies you know!Even Turner was smart enough to figure that out.Big Bad: Of the episode \"Fairy Idol\" as I'm arguably the main star! No! Not Captain Overbite! Me! Why else is over half the episode told from my perspective?Breakout Villain: Looks like my charms, good looks, and snarkiness have won me over with the fans to the point I was promoted as a minor antagonist of two 11 minute (yes 11 minutes; not 15) episodes to theBig Badof whole almost-hour long special! Aren't I just the best?Cool Shades: They are cool aren't they? Sometimes, they hide my purple eyes and sometimes they don't. When they do, you know I'm in \"serious mode.\"Crazy-Prepared: Even though I thought it was unthinkable, I still had a back-up plan in case I lost the Fairy Idol: Take out whoever won with a wrecking ball and take their place as the winner! The icing on the was that it was Turner's (well not at the time anymore heh heh) fairies I was able to knock down!Deadpan Snarker: Wow! Really? You don't say? It's not like it's my most character defining trait or anything! But, no seriously real talk. You have to be this considering thekind of people I'm around(linked for your convenience; you're welcome). Especially in the episode \"Back to the Norm\" where 90% of my dialogue is snark toward Crocker. I'm definitely snarkier than acertain talking octopus who I'm sure ''isn't'' an octopus.Exact Words: Come on folks, I'm a genie, have you literally never read a book before? Bespecific!Otherwise I'll take any chance I get at screwing up your wishes, because that's what I do! Unless we're teaming up, then I GUESS I'll follow the spirit of your wish rather than the letter... but don't get used to it!Faux Affably Evil: Honestly, it can be tough sometimes to tell if I'm complimenting you or making a snarky comment at your expense. Rest assured, it's always the latter option. Also, I can be cheerful and easygoing... Only if someone else happens to be suffering because of me heh heh...Hoist by His Own Petard: The classic \"I wish everything would go back to normal before I met you\" wish. Gets me everytime especially if it happens to be the third wish that sends me back into my lamp. Even though I used this to my advantage in \"Fairy Idol,\" Chester (of all people) managed to turn this against me!Ink-Suit Actor: What? What do ya mean \"ink suit\"? Oh I was designed to look like Norm MacDonald?(Sees a picture of him)Well he does look kinda handsome. But I don't see the resemblance and I'm infinitely more better looking. Sharing names? C'mon Norm's a common name, I'm just anything but!Jerkass Genie: Of course! I'm a \"jerk\" and I'm a \"genie!\" Makes this the candidate of \"Most Obvious Trope for a Person Ever\" huh?Kryptonite Factor: Again, three things I can't escape from; Magic lamps, the charms ofBarbara Eden, and Smoof stuff.Loophole Abuse: Now this isn't something that I would recommend doing. Ihatebeing out-jerked! As evidenced when Turner wished for a certain lawyer to make sure I properly undo the wishes I granted.Magnificent Bastard: Ooh yes! See, I'm the type of guy that plans out his moves and manipulate others to how I see fit in order to fulfill my plans. Not to mention my charming personality! Why do you always think my plans always end in a success while Crocker's always turn up as duds?Older Than They Look: Yup. I'm 50,000 years old, and if I do say so myself, I don't look a day over 4,000.The Other Darrin: Huh Idoremember sounding different inFairy Idol. Yeah apparently my original dude who vocal-corded me couldn't clear up his schedule for that movie, so they go a soundalike in uh(Looks at IMDB)Robert Cait? Hmm eh not quite as deeply snarky but I guess he came close to my original smooth silky voice. Kudos.Physical God: Um, DUH! All powerful genie right here! Power to makeanywish at my disposal (well, of course, after someone makes the wish).Reality Warper: Comes with being a genie, genius.Sadist: I'm not as \"over-the-top\" as certain characters but my form of entertainment is always watching others (mainly Beaver Teeth and his dumb fairies) suffer! Either from the drawbacks of my wishes or from my glorious evil plans!Satiating Sandwich: So, some random jerk finds my lamp, and gets three wishes. The first thing they wish for, nearly without a fail, is a giant sandwich.Every. Damn. Time!I mean, hey, I enjoy a good sandwich as much as the next magical being, but maybe not waste one of your three reality-altering wishes on one? That Timmy brat is actually one of the few who didn't, and he only wished for a ham and cheese omelette instead because his lame fairies wouldn't make him one, since among one of their bazilionth stupid rules for their magic, they couldn't fulfill breakfast wishes after 10 AM!Story-Breaker Power: My magic is waaaay more powerful than any fairies as they're all rule-free! Of course, they all come with hilarous drawbacks to those that wished for him but that still better than the limited fairy's powers. And yes, I knew of this when I was devising my plan to become a fairy. I'd rather be atadweaker in power but with all theReality Warperpowers of both species and the freedom of fairies makes this a win!Smug Snake: Heh. You think I'm smug do you? Well, when you're one of the most manipulative, cunning, and handsome genies around, you deserve to be smug! I'm also smart! You can say I'm a \"Genie-us!\" Eh? Eh? Ah...who needs ya...Surrounded by Idiots: Ugh...tell me about it. Between Turner, his dumb fairies, Crockpot, and pretty much everyone else in the series, it's no wonder I haven't lost my mind! I guess being trapped in a lamp has it's advantages... I still want freedom don't get me wrong.'Troll: Where's the fun in letting people know my wishes always have painful (and sometimes fatal) drawbacks? And that I leave out the fact you can wish for as many wishes as you want is even funnier!Villain Episode: \"Back to the Norm\" is all about this guy right here! Oh, and Crockpot too I guess...Villain Song: \"Gimmie the Wand\" is one of my most spectacular masterpieces I've ever sung and arguably the highlight of the episode! Too bad that idiot Cosmo (singing in some woman's voice might I add!) stuck his nose into my song and ended up winning! Fortunately, I had a back-up plan in case of something like that may happen.Weaksauce Weakness: Dangit, my magic can't affect anything made of \"smoof\", a material that is very similarbut is completely differentfrom hemp!Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: More like \"Why Don't You Just Send Him to Mars?\" I told Dr. Hunchback many times to do this to Turner but noooooo! He wouldn't listen to the all-powerful genie that's granting him wishes for all of these pointless plans! It was so worth it seeing his crazy self on Mars instead!*his magic lamp pops beside him*Guess we're done here. If you need me (of course I mean DON'T need me), I'll be sitting in my lamp plotting my next evil scheme! Of course, whenever they decide to bring me back hopefully for my own series. Anywho, see you never! Aaahhhhhh....*is sucked back into lamp*"} {"text": "(For the full effect, read this in the voice ofPhil LaMarr.)I'M OLLIE WILLIAMS!I WORK FOR QUAHOG NEWS!THE WAYI TALKIS MY WHOLE THING!HERE'S MY TROPES!\"Angry Black Man\" Stereotype: I'M BLACK AND ANGRY!Beige Prose: A FEW WORDS AT MOST!Bizarro Episode: I was high once.

some caption text
(This page is best read in the voice of Shelby Rabara.)Log date: 1-33-7, Peridot facet 2F5L, cut 5XG recording. Steven has begun introducing me to this human 'internet', and has persuaded me to write a page about myself in this publically editable repository of literary devices commonly used in fiction. I still don't know why all this was recorded.I am Peridot, a technician for the Gem Empire. It was my job to check on the growth of the Cluster, a geoweapon incubating in the planet Earth. Much to my irritation, those rebellious clods, the Crystal Gems (and the Steven) interrupted my remote viewing, so I had to come to the planet myself, with a Jasper bodyguard and Lapis Lazuli who had already been on the planet for an informant. But when we landed, that clod Jasper decided that the Steven was more important, and captured the rebels before leaving. We did not get far, as the Steven possessed a resistance to gem destabilizer technology and freed the others. They had trained their Pearl to be able to pilot the ship, and returned to Earth. I was narrowly able to escape in a pod, while the ship crashed because those clods didn't know what they were doing (and apparently the fusion Garnet and Jasper wrecked the ship in their fight).This left me trapped on Earth, desperate to leave. After all, the planet had an expiration date, and I didn't want to stick around to find out what it was! But those crystal clods kept foiling all my attempts to escape, until I finally kidnapped the Steven to use his healing saliva to repair the Galaxy Warp. The rebels defeated and reduced me to my gem form, before trapping me in a bubble.I do not know how long I was stuck in their dungeon, but Steven eventually freed me hoping to learn more about the Cluster. I of course tried to escape captivity, but I was blocked off at every turn, and eventually took refuge in the hygiene room. Though I was terrified of my captors, Steven managed to negotiate with me by giving me the last part of my limb enhancers (that overcooked purple clod dumped the rest of them in the large body of water near the Galaxy Warp). I decided to allow him to join me in stopping the Cluster, seeing as he knew more about Earth than I did, but he convinced me that we needed the overcooked Quartz, the war machine, and the defective fancy Pearl to aid us, and I reluctantly accepted. We built a drill to reach the Cluster, but before it was completed I had a better idea.I had taken a Diamond communicator, and planned to use it to reach my superior, Yellow Diamond. While Steven and the rest of the clods tried to stop me, I was able to reach her and ask her to de-activate the cluster. After all, Yellow Diamond was a logical person, I thought, and it's illogical to let all the unique resources of a fully developed organic ecology go to waste just for a geoweapon. When Yellow Diamond revealed that she valued revenge over logic, I questioned her objectivity andcalled her a clod!. Although Yellow Diamond didn't seem to remember it later, that was a turning point in my life and the end of my service to Homeworld.I guess I'm a Crystal Gem now.Where am I gonna put the star?TropesAll Take and No Give: When I eventually befriended Lapis, I tried hard to make her happy while she simply did what she pleased. It wasn't until she tried to leave Earth permanently that I stood up for myself against her.Ambiguous Disorder: My behavior apparently is reminiscent of humans with those so-called Autism Spectrum disorders. Hmph. As if there's anything \"disorderly\" about the precision demanded of any scientific endeavor!Call a Rabbit a \"Smeerp\": I have been informed that humans call Meep-Morps \"art\". I still like my word better.Catchphrase Insult: 'Clod' ismyinsult. Anyone else using it is stealing it from me.Especially that other Peridotworking for Hessonite!She's already got her OWN signature insult, why does she feel the need to use mine specifically when arguing with ME?Cloudcuckoolander: I admit I don't understand a lot of things about Earth.Corrupted Character Copy:I'm the exact opposite!I used to be an awful lot like thatbug-clod, but unlike him, I saw the beauty in Earth and eventually defected from Homeworldwith extreme prejudice. I bet he wouldn't evenconsidercalling his \"Tallest\" the clods they are!noteZim: LIIIIEEES!Defector from Decadence: It's not like I had the choice to remain after calling Yellow Diamond a clod to her face.Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: I calledYellow Diamonda clod! She's my ultimate superior, one of the four rulers of the Gem Empire, and I... called her aclod!Die for Our Ship: I do not wish that Paulette would die, exactly, but she is a stupid clod and should never interfere with the relationship between Percy and Pierre.Discard and Draw: I lost my technology when I began working with the Crystal Gems, but soon after I discovered that despite being an Era 2 gem, I had the power of ferrokinesis.Fantastic Slurs: My insult of choice is 'clod', but I have also used 'pebble'notethough not as often as thatclod Steven calls \"Squaridot\"and 'dirtbomb', as well as 'filthy war machine' for fusions.Fear of Thunder: Thoughonlybecause I mistook it for a sign of the Cluster happening.Good Costume Switch: The Crystal Gems all have star designs on their generated appearance modifiers. Where will I put mine?When I regenerated from Yellow Diamond poofing me, I altered my costume to include stars on the chest and knees.Heel\u2013Face Turn: It took time.Initially I was just working with the Crystal Gems to stop the Cluster because I would be shattered along with the Earth.But over time I actually did start to care about the Earth and request Yellow Diamond terminate the Cluster. When she refused and made it clear she wanted the Earth destroyed out of pure spite, I was officially a member of the Crystal Gems.Innocently Insensitive: I was brought up on Homeworld and I admit I haveNo Social Skills, so this is a recurring issue for me. My initial attempts at making up with Lapis just ended up making her angrier,I either reminded her of her past trauma or my apology came of as insincere.Jerkass Has a Point: I criticized Rose Quartz for her rebellion saying Earth could have been an amazing colony, this being before I learned to understand the value of organic life. The Crystal Gems rightly got mad at me, but I rightly pointed out that thanks to Rose' rebellion there would be no colony and the planet was in danger of being destroyed by the Cluster.Large Ham: NO!The Great and Loveable Peridotisnota meat product!Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Those strange internet humans would like me to fuse with almost every Gem I interact with.Literal-Minded: I'm still not familiar with human slang and metaphors.Made of Iron: Us Peridots are tougher than we look. I was able to survive an episode's worth of abuse once, trying to catch that corrupted gem.No Social Skills: I am quite unfamiliar with the intricacies of inter-gem and human relationships. I never had need of that knowledge as a Peridot.Not Helping Your Case: I canmake a legimate point despite my bluntnessbut havingNo Social SkillsSpanner in the Works: Had I not informed the Crystal Gems of the Cluster, it would have hatched unopposed and we would have all been shattered.Unwitting Instigator of Doom: It was my report on the humans Steven listed that was the basis for Aquamarine's abductions.Villain Decay: When I first came to Earth, I was a threat to the Crystal Gems, but when I was stranded on Earth without Jasper, I started slipping.What Is This Thing You Call \"Love\"?: I had never experienced 'compassion' or 'empathy' before arriving at Earth. Steven helped teach me what I was missing.Yaoi Fangirl: Percy and Pierreobviouslyhave the best relationship inCamp Pining Hearts."} {"text": "\"Gee Brain, what do you wanna do tonight?\"\"The same thing we do every night, Pinky \u2014- try to take over the world by writing about ourselves onTV Tropes!\"(You are instructed to read this page in the voices ofRob PaulsenandMaurice LaMarche)The Brain: Greetings, my subjects!

Some time ago, in the early days ofThe '90s, a multitude of artists, writers, and directors pitched an idea that would becomefar greater than they ever could have imagined. It all began in the early days ofSteven Spielberg's career, as he sought to transition his illustrious works from film to the screen. He was working on a series of cartoons designed to bring laughter and joy to people.One such showwas to be his masterpiece; a magnum opus of clever jokes, a trio of siblings bent on causing chaos to those who harmed them, and of course, an entire cast of side characters to supplement their adventures.Pinky: And that's where we came in!The Brain: Quite right, my friend. Two writers gave inspiration to the talents of minds like Tom Ruegger (though from my understanding, they lacked a desire to take over the world as we do), who caricatured them as genetically evolved rodents. With the talents of aformer mutant reptileandan icon of standup comedy, we transitioned onto the big screen in 1993 as our own segment. \"Win Big\" was the first time the universe bore witness to our brilliance, and from there, fans begged for more! They got what they wished, andour show was born!Pinky: Brilliant, Brain! Brilliant! NARF!The Brain: Unfortunately, there was one serious obstacle:A cavalcadeofstudio executiveswho desired that our series, in spite of its success, include a greater deal of characters.Pinky: But why? Our show was clearly doing so well. Why add new characters?The Brain: Simple, my friend. The traditional clash between studio executives and creators reared its ugly head once more. As such, the writers of our show went out of their way to clearly demonstrate why such a foolish concept wouldn't work, when they added in...Larry.Pinky: Who?The Brain: Yes, Pinky. Who? A mere annoyance that almost always interfered with our schemes of world domination, contributing nothing except the agony of defeat. Well, more so than usual...but as I was saying, nothing but defeat! IT was enough to temporarily sway the studio heads from intervening in our affairs again. Until...Pinky: Until what, Brain? ZORT!The Brain: Until they dared to addthat infernal animal loverElmyra Duffto our roster! Truly it was an embarrassment to be forced to endear with her antics.Pinky: I don't recall that ever happening.The Brain: Fortunately that is due to the creatorserasing that entire escapadefrom existence in later years, as wereturned triumphantlyin 2020, thanks to the insistence of Mr. Spielberg and the adoring fans. Though I'm still stuck with the memory of it...Pinky: NARF! Well, enjoy reading our tropes!The Brain: Yes, enjoy this page! And don't worry,that certainly isn't amind-control filterto force you to read this page. Now, onward! Read of how we plan to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!Adaptational Jerkass: It would seem that upon thosebrilliant executives' decisionto addElmyra Duffinto our lineup, Pinky somehow gained more of an attitude problem.Pinky: Well of course I did, Brain! If Elmyra was going to be me, I had to be someone else! Or, was I Elmyra, and she was someone else? Or...(SMACK!)The Brain: Do not try my patience today, Pinky. For your sake, please.Do. Not. Try.Adaptational Villainy: Evidently, upon our return to your television screens, our desires were much more villainous in nature than they were during our heyday. Well if you spent the last 28 years failing to accomplish your goal, your demeanor would grow much more heinous!Affably Evil: I consider myself a respectable member of society. You who obsess over me, however, point out that my goal involves me becoming a global dictator. Surly it would do better of you to recall that others only wanted power; I seek harmony, peace, and prosperity for all.Pinky: And I seek...what do I seek? (SMACK!)The Brain: The nearest first aid kit, if you continue to interrupt me!Ambiguously Bi: I suspect that Pinky falls somewhere on this spectrum. He tends to share many a tender moment with me as he does with thatunusual equine.Ambiguously Evil: Depending on my mood (and Pinky, please do not try to interrupt this time, otherwise I will demonstrate exactly how much it will shift), it appears that my alignment on the spectrum of good and evil is more murky than most. Truly my goals of total world domination are villainous, but my intentions are for the betterment of all of humankind.Anti-Hero: I am unquestionably the hero. However, my goals are, admittedly, self-aggrandizing in nature. I wish to conquer the entire planet for its own well being, though my ego is clearly playing a significant factor in it.Pinky: And it's a big, beautiful ego.Anti-Villain: Villainous though you may consider me, I seek only to bring the world to peace. Considering how idiotic the rest of it is, my genius is needed to set things properly. Pinky is considered this to some extent, for he aids me in my schemes of world domination.Pinky: Without a doubt! POIT!Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: It would seem Pinky and I are the onesresponsible for this creation coming into being. That reminds me Pinky,Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?Pinky: I think so Brain, but if we did aSelf-Demonstratingpage, wouldn't that bebreaking the fourth wall?The Brain: You ask that like it hasn't happened before.Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: My compatriot is often distracted from our larger goal by some sort of trivial matter. Speaking of, Pinky, are youreading that ridiculous website again?Pinky: I can't help myself. It's so funny! HAHAHAHAHAH!The Brain: As you can see, his attention span is no shorter than a commonFreeze-Frame Bonus.Awesomeness by Analysis: There is no subject that I cannot reduce to a mathematic equation, or simple calculation.Pinky: Brain, I hate to interrupt, but I simply must know?The Brain: What is it, Pinky?Pinky: If you were to give a centipede shoes, what size would he wear?The Brain: Well, almost any subject...Bad \"Bad Acting\": My acting prowess is quite proper, thank you very much. I would not be voiced bya back-to-back Emmy Award winning actorif it was not the case.Pinky: But Brain, you always just \"read\" your lines. Why not actually act them out?The Brain: Considering our audience Pinky, I feel that much exertion is not worth the humiliation.Berserk Button: Normally I am one to maintain control over my, shall we say, lesser emotions, but I will not take kindly to anyone threatening to harm Pinky. Even myself! Well, my future self anyway.Pinky: Aww, what a kind thing of you to say, Brain.Big Guy, Little Guy: I am, naturally, the Little Guy to Pinky's Big Guy.Pinky: But you're not really any weaker than me, are you, Brain?The Brain: True. Also, unlike most examples, I'm willing to give you credit where it's due.Big \"YES!\":Pinky: It's one of yourCatch Phrases, isn't it, Brain?The Brain:YES!Break the Cutie: Place Pinky under the right circumstances, and he will break down into a puddle of tears. I witnessed this far too often and consider it an annoyance...but the poor soul needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes.Break the Haughty: There are some instances in my life where the failure of my plans have left me despondent. But they are mere temporary setbacks, for I recover stronger than ever!YES!Bumbling Sidekick: As far as I'm concerned, Pinky may as well be theTrope Codifier.Pinky: And what an honor it is to be such!Cartoony Tail: Do not assume that it functions like a staircase. It is merely shaped like such.Catchphrase:The Brain: I have some rather intelligent and memorable ones, such as \"Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?\", \"Yes!\", and \"I'm going to have to hurt you.\" Pinky, well...Pinky: NARF! POIT! ZORT! TROZ! And there's my occasional \"I think so Brain, but [[insert random comment here]],\" and \"Oh, wait...no, no...\"City Mouse:Oh, ha-ha.But yes, as much as I hate to admit it,I'm completely lostwhen it comes to outdoor and non-technical situations.Cloudcuckoolander: Heavens, I fear that Pinky most definitely qualifies.Pinky: Is that a bad thing, Brain? Clouds are pretty. And so are cuckoos.The Brain: I rest my case.The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right: While I do hate to admit this, sometimes Pinky does successfully point out a flaw in the plan that I dismiss out of hand. Said flaw proverbially (and sometimes literally) comes back to bite us in the posterior.Pinky: Ouch! That would hurt, wouldn't it?The Comically Serious: I have little time for humor when world domination is at hand.Pinky: But what about when eating?The Brain: Well we must certainly eat, Pinky. How would we conquer the world on an empty stomach?Creative Sterility: If my intellect failed to create a proper plan, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.Pinky: Take up knitting?The Brain: Perhaps when I am far more feeble.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Pinky is the most imbecilic creature on the planet, but often times his resolve to aid me in taking over the world has proven useful. Sometimes it even amazes me how he succeeds where I failed!Pinky: I learned it by watching you, Brain!The Brain: Quite right, my friend.The Cutie: I would not describe Pinky as a \"cutie\" (a shame to his entire species is more like it). However, it seems you adore him, so I am forced to acknowledge this.Pinky: Awww, Brain. You can be cute too!The Brain: If only the rest of the world would agree with such a sentiment.A Dog Named \"Dog\": While you may not have realized this, those who are more scientifically inclined, such as myself, know that hairless mice are often called \"Pinkies\" upon their birth, given that they are...well, pink. However, his name was evidently picked up by me referring to the human's intelligence as being \"no bigger than my...Pinky!\"Pinky: It certainly made more sense than being called something else. It fits!The Brain:More than you know.Deadpan Snarker: When you are the smartest being on the planet, you may find your wits pushed to their limit in dealing with the more imbecilic members of society.Determinator: Many, many times have I failed to take over the world, but that will not stop me from attempting to do so otherwise.Ditzy Genius: Brilliant though my schemes are, often there is some flaw that leads to my plan's derailment. Though to be fair, I suspect the universe desires me to not rule it. Which is why I intend to rule the universe after I conquer the world, so it may learn a harsh lesson!Dumbass Has a Point: Apparently I fail to realize this too late. Somehow or another, Pinky predicts exactly what will transpire that leads to the failure of my plan. Perhaps I should start listening to him more...Pinky: Oh, don't be silly Brain! You areThe Brain!You're the smart one!The Brain: You do have a point, Pinky.Dumb Is Good: Pinky does have a much nicer demeanor than I do. And a smaller brain to compensate.Enraged by Idiocy: I have no desire to deal with those lacking in brain power.Pinky: Boy, I know what that's like. NARF! (SMACK!)The Brain: There, are you happy now?Even Evil Has Standards:While I do not consider myself \"evil\", I most certainly will not sell my soul to accomplish my goal. The Brain answers to no one! Not eventhe devil himself!Pinky: Oh of course, Brain, but that's why I sold my soul instead!Brain: And that, Pinky, is precisely why I make the plans!Though I tend to despise the unintelligent dealings of humanity (Pinky especially), I at least to wish to rule over a world where the population has some sense of intellect. Ask Pinky when our jaunts through the space-time continuum created a world where the entire population ended up turning into him!Pinky: I did tell you it would be easier to rule over.Brain: You are correct, but considering that you are you, can you imagine what a populace of 7 billion of you would be like?Pinky: Oooh. Yeah. Not very good, I suppose. POIT!After some...rather uncomfortable circumstances, I chose to turn against the major tobacco firms upon witnessing their willingness to sell their products to children. Conquering the world is notworth watching children grow up to become addicted to such harmful substances.Evil Genius:Again, I am not evil. But I am an unscrupulous genius.Fatal Flaw: Truly you must be joking. No flaws have been fatal to my well being.Pinky: But they certainly have been to your plans. I mean, sometimes you miss something that you dismiss out of hand, then it comes back to bite us!The Brain: ...I am going to have to hurt you.Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better: I have no desire to walk on all four appendages ever again.Pinky:But I do! At least when I walk on the wheel.The Brain: And that is precisely why you are the lesser of the partnership.Future Me Scares Me: Recently, I bore witness to a future version of myself who attempted to end Pinky's life. Why?It seems he believes the failure of my plans to be entirely on my cohort's shoulders (which isn't an entirely inaccurate assessment), but he erroneously assumed this was a deliberate act of sabotage on Pinky's part. I know better than anyone that Pinky does not posses the brain power or the unwillingness to betray me in such a way.Pinky: Exactly! If I goof up, I goof because I'm just being me! NARF!Freudian Excuse: Oh, dear Lord, where do I start?First off, I was taken from my home and family when I was younger. Where were we living? A can with a globe (i.e. the world) on it.As a lab mouse, I've been subject to testing; in \"Where No Mouse Has Gone Before\" at least, I held a mild grudge over this, and I may or may not have suggested in \"Project: B.R.A.I.N.\" that my desire to take over the world stems from my shame at never getting a chance to show the research scientists my newfound intellect.Our recent return to television led me to reveal the full story.As a young mouse, I was subject to an experiment designed to teach those involved learned helplessness. The experience was so traumatizing, that I swore I would never allow myself to not be in control ever again.Now that you...Pinky, are you crying?Pinky (in tears): That's so sad!The Brain: If you were anyone else, Pinky...Friendly Enemy: Perhaps my most tragic failing is my attempts to at least show some cordial respect to Snowball.Alas, in spite of my efforts, I was never able to reach an accord.Gadgeteer Genius: Far more often than not, I have constructed a wide variety of gadgets that are intended to be used in our nightly schemes. Acme Laboratories truly does come with the finest of devices to utilize in our plans for world domination. Unfortunately, they often lack a critical component that we must find. Knowing what said component is happens to be child's play for a mouse of my intellect. Obtaining it, on the other hand...Pinky: And to think, mail order catalogues would have been so handy.The Brain: And where do you suppose we will obtain the money for that?Pinky: Gee Brain, I haven't the slightest notion.The Brain: Clearly.Genius Ditz: On occasion, in spite of his idiocy, I do admit that Pinky does have his bouts of creativity and brilliance. None compared to my own, of course, but even so.Glad I Thought of It: I am not one to avoid giving credit to where credit it due... to myself, of course.Pinky: But Brain, didn't I bring up a few things you later used?The Brain: Preposterous, Pinky. You couldn't imagine your way out of an empty paper bag.Pinky: I suppose you're right, Brain. POIT!Guile Hero: Under no circumstances will I utilize techniques that could risk brining harm upon the populace. Any measure to subdue them will be temporary at best.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Yes, in spite of my behavior towards my charge, I do consider Pinky to be the only friend I have, and would never allow anything to happen to him.Pinky: Awww, Brain.Hidden Depths: Beneath all that stupidity is an entirely different mouse. I've witnessed Pinky manage to master new languages without hesitation, survive in the depths of the wilderness, and actually run as a successful President. If I didn't know any better, I would say Pinky is faking his stupidity!Pinky: I wouldn't know how to fake anything if I tried. I just love being me too much! NARF!Hidden Heart of Gold: Though I often do my best to hide it, I refuse to allow harm to fall on the ones I care for.In one such instance, I was fully prepared to conquer the world until, after much reluctance, I read Pinky's letter toSanta Claus. And it was then I truly realized how much I had put my friend through that night, and resolved to correct my mistake for his sake. Even if he causes me a great deal of suffering, I truly wish only the best for my...friend.Pinky: Awwwww. Now that's just the sweetest thing I ever heard! NARF!Hoist by His Own Petard: Often it seems that my plans fail due to a factor I simply failed to calculate for.Pinky: But what about those flaws I inadvertently point out?The Brain: Mere coincidence!Pinky: Or how about when you lose your temper and make a crucial mistake that topples the plan?The Brain: Must we also discuss how you constantly bungle your way into the plans and cause a critical failure at the last possible moment?Pinky: Oh. That is true. POIT!Indy Ploy: Hi, Pinky here to fill in this one. It turns out Brain isn't so good at...what's the word? Oh, yeah!Improvising!That's it! He cannot improvise! NARF!The Brain: Will you release your grip from the keyboard and add your anecdotal AFTER I finish?Pinky: Oop. My bad, Brain.The Brain: Thank you. Now, as I was saying...Insane Troll Logic: My plans make perfect sense! You are simply too unintellectual to understand!Pinky: Uhhhhh....The Brain: Present company included of course.Insufferable Genius: Few can often match my wit and intellect, so of course I must talk down to them. Though I am certainly far less blunt about it than the drivel of educational children's programming, especially that troublesome tyrannosaurus they call \"Baloney.\"Pinky: I wholeheartedly agree. But, for the sake of argument, could you maybe say that insimpler words?(SMACK!)The Brain: You have been indulging yourself in far too muchof this website.Interspecies Romance: Pinky is committed in a relationship with a horse named Pharfignewton.Please, for the love of Einstein, do not make me try to guess how that works.Iron Butt Monkey: It is a miracle that my genetical enhancements have left me with a higher pain tolerance than most. Yet it does little to deter me.Pinky: Oh, I agree with that, Brain. It does wonders for the soul, but not for the moment. I mean, who else could afford to have a hundred ton safe dropped on them?Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Okay, it's me, Pinky again, but I have to say this plain and simple. NARF! That's not it, but I know the Brain. Sure, a lot of people might disagree with his goals to take over the world, but I can tell you that he always has the best interest of the people at heart. Why, I would even say that he's got the biggest heart around.The Brain: PINKY! That's...actually quite a beautiful sentiment.Keet: Pinky, undoubtedly. I hold no desires to act the way he does, hence he owns this trope wholeheartedly.Kindhearted Simpleton: A fool though Pinky may be, there isn't a malicious femur in his skeletal structure.Large Ham: My demeanor often tends to slip into this, especially when gloating about taking over the world. Pinky, on the other hand, is constantly like this.Pinky: TROZ!The Brain: As I said, constantly.Laughably Evil: I am not devoid of humor. I simply lack the patience to explain my reasoning.Let's Get Dangerous!: Under no circumstances are you ever to threaten Pinky's life. If you do, then, to shamelessly paraphrasethe being who gave rise to this trope,allow us to engage in life-threatening hostilities!noteDarkwing Duck: HEY! That's my line! You'll be hearing from my lawyers about this!Love Interest: Ah, Billie. We could have ruled the world together. Her intellect was equal to my own, despite her appearance and demeanor being reminiscent of...(looks at Pinky)another mouse I am acquainted with, who ultimately interested her more than myself.Pinky: I know how you feel, Brain. Ah, Pharfignewton. We could have gone on so many horsey rides together.Mad Libs Catchphrase: Whenever Pinky responds to myinquiries, he responds with some sort of nonsensical non sequitur.Pinky: It's a talent. POIT!Meaningful Rename: I haven't the slightest notion of what I was referred to as previously. I am only \"The Brain\", and that is all I wish to be known as.Pinky: And I was...uh...what was I called before I got my name?The Brain: Truly the world does not require such information.The Millstone: Egads yes, Pinky befits this trope in spades. My plans almost always fall apart thanks to his idiocy! But at least it's unintentional idiocy.Pinky: I try, Brain. Or rather, I don't try. HAHA. Good one.Minion with an F in Evil: If Pinky was to work with any other villain, I can guarantee he would fail simply by existing.Mobile-Suit Human: A common choice of my schemes involves such a device. I simply choose not to utilize the more realistic head.Pinky: But why, Brain?The Brain: The suit lacks proper air conditioning.Pinky: Ahhh. That makes sense.Morality Pet: I admit, Pinky's presence has helped to me to control some of my more...egotistical tendencies.Pinky: And that's why I'm here, Brain! NARF!Multiple-Choice Past: There has been no clear story as to how Pinky and I became who we are, perhaps in a way thatwould make one of the regulars at the studio proud.Pinky: Well then what is it, Brain?The Brain: One such recollection saw me torn from my parents home...a can with the world on it. Another saw me transformed alongside Snowball, yet another tale was where you and I first came into being as part of a secret experiment. And then the rebootshowed I was subjected to a \"Learned Helplessness\" experiment that led me to wish to take over the world.Truly there must be something I am missing.Pinky: Consistent writers?The Brain: For once, I agree.My Brain Is Big: Yes, I am aware that my cranium is significantly oversized. It is simply a visual manifestation of my genius.Pinky: Indeed, Brain, but don't go getting a big head or anything!Brain: (sighs) Whatever you say, Pinky.The Napoleon: I am aware of the irony, but I possess a far greater intellect thanNapol\u00e9on Bonaparteever did.Nice Mice: I don't consider myself a \"nice\" mouse. However, someday after I've turned the world into a paradise, you will realize that though my methods may be harsh,I've always had the best intentions. As for Pinky...Pinky: I wouldn't hurt a fly!The Brain: He speaks the truth. He wouldn't harm anything.Pinky: Speaking of flies, I was just playing with this cute little butterfly. ZORT!Noble Demon: My goals of world domination calls for a world where all are treated with kindness and dignity. You may see it as evil; I see it as necessary.Pinky: And as we all know, we could use a lot more fun. NARF!No Celebrities Were Harmed:The Brain: I am told my voice bears a striking resemblance toa film director of certain note, along withan actor famed for his horror roles.Pinky: And I'm aPython!No, wait, that's not right. I'm a mouse whose voice is based ona Python! That's it!The Brain: If you were a member of the species Pythonidae, I doubt you would survive. A python is supposed to posses the ability to consume his prey with the tightening of his coils. All you have done is loosen my grip on sanity.Pinky: I try, Brain.Paper-Thin Disguise: Often I put little effort to hide the fact I am but a simple mouse. However, asthe public clearly fails to recognize me as such, I have little need to do so.Pinky: He's just that good!The Brain: As for Pinky, he couldn't wear a disguise that would effectively hide his true identity if his being of existence was in jeopardy.Parental Abandonment: I was ripped from my parents at a tender young age. Thus, a subconscious goal of mine was to reunite with them. Unfortunately, bringing them to my intellectual level created...less than ideal results.Plucky Comic Relief: I wouldn't be surprised if Pinky was able to give other simpletons a marathon for their financials. I am always the straight man to said comic relief...provided my plan goes better than usual.Pragmatic Villainy: Far too often have the conquerors of history utilized brutish tactics to get their way, which ultimately resulted in their downfall. Hence, my tactics call for simplistic, but effective measures to sway the public to our cause.Pinky: Like what, Brain?The Brain: A few hypnotic suggestions, at worst.Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Rude would be an inappropriate term;I would prefer \"Continuously Frustrated\". It is Pinky, however, whose skeletal structure lacks any malicious intent within.Pinky: I have no idea what that means, but I agree 100%! ZORT!Sarcastic Confession: In case you failed to understand this beforehand, Pinky and I are genetically engineered laboratory mice bent on global domination. If you find this implausible, then congratulations; you've responded exactly as I desire.Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Quite often I will utilize prominent terms in the vernacular to properly enforce my deepest psychological desires of global domination, for it is imperative that (zzzzzzzz)\u2014PINKY!Pinky: Whah! Oh. Sorry, Brain. You just put me to sleep with all that colorful language.The Brain: Perhaps it would be behoove you to read a dictionary.Shorter Means Smarter: As the smaller of the two, I happen to posses the greater intellect. It does poorly, however, when I find my stature lacking in situations involving higher shelving units.Pinky: And that's where I come in! NARF!The Brain: He may posses the brain cell of a Brassica Rapa, but his height comes in handy.Simpleton Voice:Must I really say it?Pinky: NARF!Smarter Than You Look: Somehow I think Pinky possess a great deal of intelligence than he lets on. Could he be the real genius? No, impossible! I am clearly the superior intellect!Pinky: Hey, Brain? I got my head stuck in the cage again. But it's alright. I can wait.The Brain: Yes, I am most definitely the smarter of the pair.Sophisticated as Hell: Sophisticated, yes. But I would rarely dabble in such vulgarities unless the situation called for it.Spell My Name with a \"The\": My full name isThe Brainfor a reason. Nevertheless, Brain is an acceptable term.Pinky: And I should know! I always just call him Brain! Should I call myselfThe Pinkythough?The Brain:It would be an accurate assessment of your character.Pinky:Why, thank you, Brain!TROZ!Spock Speak: My speech pattern is indisputably formal, dispassionate and complex. As for the comparison with a character who is considered a paragon of logic, I find it flattering in the extreme.Pinky: There you go with all that fancy talk, Brain! And you do it so well! NARF!Take Over the World:I would certainly expect you to have been more aware of this by now. Pinky and I have made many attempts at this, to create a better tomorrow, yet it seemsour goals are always met with a fateful sleight of hand.Technical Pacifist: I may desire toTake Over the World, but I have no desire to cause harm to any other life forms if need be. It would certainly be a waste of energy and time, not to mention my rule will be benevolent!Pinky: Gee, Brain. What about (gets smacked by Brain)\u2014maybe I shouldcome back later.Tender Tears: By Galileo's grave, does Pinkycry a lot. You could make an entire ocean with the amount of tears he's cried! Hmmm. That might not be a bad idea to force the world to make me their ruler...Pinky! Get the onions!Pinky: Are we making a sandwich, Brain? Egad!Too Dumb to Live: I once recall, when ourparent showswapped our roles, that Pinky was swallowed whole by a cat, yet failed to realize it. Fortunately, he didn't end up with that ratherannoyingly foolishchild Mindyand hermother, who is clearly in need of child care courses.Pinky: I've just never had problems with cats, Brain.The Brain: It's even a miracle you survived that.Pinky: Well of course! I'm a cartoon.Too Kinky to Torture: One handy aspect of having Pinky as a sidekick is that his stupidity prevents himself from being tortured. Somehow.Pinky: I just love everything! I can't possibly hate anything!The Brain: ...I'm going to have to hurt you.Trademark Favorite Food:Please, waste your time guessing what we like to eat.Pinky: It's cheese, Brain! (SMACK!)The Brain: Why do I even bother teaching you the meaning of sarcasm?TV Genius:No, I do not waste my time watching that drivel. I can clearly survive just fine in the outside world without the need to allow my intellect to rotbecause of those intellectual insults they call programming.Pinky: Hey, Brain! Look!He got hit on a head with a coconut!HAHAHAHAHAHAH!The Brain: As you can see,it does wonders for my compatriot.Took a Level in Jerkass: I would find my demeanor grow more considerably intolerant to failure as the years went by, asthe man supplying my voicetestified to. Few would blame me if my constant failures of taking over the world would leave me in a much worse demeanor than when I started!Pinky: I wouldn't even go that far, Brain. I'd more say you just... became more determined than ever to accomplish your goal! NARF!Undying Loyalty: No matter what obstacles we face, Pinky always remains steadfast to my cause.Pinky: And I always will!Uplifted Animal: Obviously. As I am a genetically engineered lab mouse, I posses this trope to its full extent.As does Pinky, believe it or not.Pinky: TROZ!Verbal Tic: Clearly, if you haven't read through the entirety of this page, you don't understand how those random utilization of NARF, TROZ, POIT, and ZORT mean anything to Pinky.Pinky: I'm a creature of habit, Brain!Villain Ball: Some say that I took hold of this theoretical spherical object in \"Mousechurian Candidate\", although as always,my goal was to create a better world for everyone.Pinky: Well, Brain, you weren't that nice to Julia when you messed with her mind and all. And didn't you say you wanted to use children to build bombs, or something? POIT!The Brain:Sometimes the end justifies the means, Pinky.Villain Protagonist: Villainy? Hardly. Though I suppose my goal of world domination would fall within that category, I assure you, it is merely for the benefit of all. Under my guidance, we can finally achieve a world without the current issues we face, for I possess the greatest intellect of them all!YES!Pinky: Uh, Brain? I don't think the people are going to see it that way.Villains Never Lie: I am hardly ever dishonest. If questioned about my true identity, I always givean honest answer about how I'm a genetically engineered mouse. Well,until the reboot, when I did hide my identity while posing as a prominent Senator.Vitriolic Best Buds: Do I care for Pinky? Yes. Will I express this from time to time? Of course. But under no circumstances will I allow his idiocies to exist so long as I am in his presence.Pinky: And it's made me the mouse I am today! TROZ!The Brain:Sure, Pinky. It has indeed.Vocal Dissonance: Given how you seem toworship talking rodents, one might expect that my voice be as minuscule as my body. Yet I instead speak in a manner similar toOrson Welles, with a mix ofVincent Pricefor good measure.Pinky: I, on the other hand,avert thisentirely! I sound just as one might expect a mouse to sound!Vocal Evolution: Upon our return to television, my voice register experienced a slight increase. I experienced this earlier in my lifespan, where I tended to have more mannerisms ofOrson Welles. My later years saw me lean more intoVincent Pricefor further inspiration.Pinky: And I used to sound a lot dumber and slower. I just sped myself a little bit and didn't nearly NARF as much as I used to!The Watson: Pinky is this to mySherlock Holmes. He does all the recording, and I do all the thinking. Simple as that.Well-Intentioned Extremist:The Brain: As I mustfurther reiterate, my goals are not villainous.

If I have a chance t-to humiliate those two idiots, I-I'll take it!

I FINALLY got one over those t-two bastards! I-It may be a childish prank,but I DESERVED a win for o-once in my life!Uhhh yeah!Pet the Dog: I-I was shocked when Beavis actually apologized to me when he was b-being disruptive! T-That was the first time (sadly the ONLY time) that one of those bastards was being decent for once and I-I even let Beavis off without punishment. T-Too bad that was only for that ONE episode. Uhhh, no... B-But why do I still feel likeat least HE might do it again?E-even then, would it be sincere? I m-mean, does that dolt evenknowwhat 'sorry' means?Well... I guess as even Buzzcut would tell you, don't you DARE hurt even those two morons if you're not part of our staff! It's OUR school, so that's OUR job!Uhhh, I guess I did once try to help them remember how to u-urinate after they 'forgot' how to. I have NO idea HOW they could have done that, b-but I guess they're just that STUPID!Sanity Slippage: Uhhh, those little bastards drive me crazy! Uhhh, it got so bad that I had to institutionalize myself once. A-and it still didn't help! S-sometimes, I think it's only a matter of time be-before I...before I snap again! O-or have another heart attack!Scare 'Em Straight: Uhhh, I revived the Scared Straight program to show our worst students the hell they're in for if they d-don't get back in line. And you can bet I sent Beavis and Butt-Head on that prison tour as well. But those little bastardsstilldidn't get the message! They ended up liking it! Uhhh, if only they would get arrested for real! Uhhh yeah! T-that would be the day! B-better yet,executed!Uh huh huh huh huh!Verbal Tic: Uhhh, I-I don't know what you're talking about! T-this is all part of my n-nervous stuttering! Uhhh, yeah!Villainous Breakdown: D-Don't remind me when those two imbeciles caused me to have a genuine nervous breakdown t-that landed me in an insane asylum! Or when t-they caused me to have that heart attack! And you still h-have the nerve to call me \"v-villainous\"?! Uhhh, yeah!Villainous Friendship: What is with all t-these things calling me a villain? I-Is there just no better way to put it? Uhhh, well, I guess Buzzcut is a little more tough and violent, but he's the only other person who can't stand those boys as much as me, and he'd be glad to help me out with them, like with that prank. Besides, SOMEONE needs to keep all those students in check, t-those two can't be the ONLY little bastards out there!Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: I-I WOULD shoot those two bastards a long time ago if it wasn't for the law!!! Y-You don't mean literally shoot them but expel them from school if they cause me too much grief. Uhhh, I TRIED, dumbass! Uhhh, yeah! But they just keep coming back! T-They're a couple of parasites! T-They don't even LIKE school, so I-I don't know why they even bother coming back i-in the first place! Uhhh, yeah!Would Hurt a Child: L-like I said above, i-if it wasn't for the damn law, I would have KILLED Beavis and Butt-head a l-long time ago! Uhhh, yeah! But of course, that a-and school standards have other plans, so the best I can d-do is strangle those two idiots! Uhhh, yeah! S-sometimes, we don't even let other people hurt them at school because WE'RE supposed to do that here! Just ask Buzzcut!Beavis and Butt-Head show up, snickeringHey, McDicker. Heh heh heh!Uhhhh, oh NO! It's THOSE b-bastards! I-I'm not even safe on my own page! Beavis and Butt-Head, get the hell off my page now before Ikillyou!Uh, can you, like, shut the hell up?

Heh heh!This is gonna be cool! Huh huh huh huh.Butt-Head changes certain parts of the page, such as replacing a third of the tropes listed on here with \"MUKDIKRS A DOORCK\", all the while laughing.Yeah, yeah! Heh heh! Try setting it onFIRE!Beavis joins in with the \"mantle-ism\" (vandalism), randomly pressing keys to type up a huge capitalized, garbled, incoherent mess, angering McVicker further.Uhhh, stop! W-what the hell do you two think you're doing?! I'm gonna kill you two b-bastards!YOU WON'T HAVE TO, SIR! I HAVE MY OWN PAGE NOW!O-Oh, thank god! I'm so glad you made it here, too!NOW HOW 'BOUT I GET THESE BOYS' ASSES BACK TO THEIRS?!AHH! Heh. DAMMIT, NO!UHHHH, huh huh.

God...OK, really short: I'm the smartest guy in the fucking MULTIVERSE, but I can't just go off and do stuff on my own, or I'll go nuts. More nuts, whatever. I drag my grandson Morty along here BECAUSE I CAN, and screw around with all different sorts of people in all different sorts of places and blah-blah-blah-blah.Yeah, and the-they get really weird sometimes, like, uh...oh! You remember that place where chairs were people?Ugh...Morty, there's probably, like, a hundred wikis that talk about the number of teeth in our mouths or the number of pimples on Jerry's left ass cheek. We did the stupid thing, now let's move on. Oh, and if you've got a PROBLEM with how this section is ending,I just plowedYour Momsideways last night, so suck it.You didn't have to go that far, Rick - I'm just saying.Oh, grow a pair, Morty.Oh, fuck me, there's MORE of this?!You know, maybe they're interested in our family since a lot of times they end up being a part of our adventures?*burp* Yeah, sure,knock yourself out.Okay, great, thanks. OL...so there's my dad Jerry \u2014AKA the human dishrag...are we really gonna do this now? Anyway, his name is JERRY, he's my dad, and...he's kind of a wimp...an awful lot of the time, but he's got his moments where he does cool stuff, like\u2014Read the character page, boom. Done. Next.*sigh* OK, so then there's my mom Beth\u2014MY DAUGHTER.Uh, yeah. She got married to Jerry\u2014AKA the human trashbag.\u2014and she's smart and a doctor\u2014Animal doctor\u2014and...andgo read her character page, I guess. I also have a sister named Summer.Character page....fine. Fine! Hey, why do you, me, Mom, and Dad get our own character pages to ourselves, whileSummer has to share one with the rest of our family?Because Summer is still seeking popularity, and Jerry is too much of a worthless piece of SHIT\u2026 wait he does havea character pagenow? GODDAMN IT!Aw, man. Can we go home now?!A-almost, Morty. It looks like we have to make it through the list of tropes these people seem to think apply to us.Oh, and uh... somebody decided to talk like a Mr. Meeseeks and set upa character page dedicated to them. 'Even somehow managed to get their hands on a box for it.That sounds about right - talking like someone whose only reason for existing is to die.Boo-ya!*burp* So, yeah. Tropes that \"apply\" to Morty and me include:The Alcoholic:Yeah*burp*, no shit, Sherlock.Animesque:Not us, but our counterpartsRick-WTM72 and Shogun Morty. Made by thecompanybehind thatreally weird-ass anime movie from the '80s.Yeah. I mean what the *urrrrrp* fuck was even that about?!Then there'sus taking on Genocidermade by thecrewbehind theLupin anime series.Trust me, Morty. If they *buuuuuuurp* had designed Jessica after Miss Airbags, a.k.a.Fujiko Mine, you'd be carrying your dick in a ...*burp* wheelbarrow!Anime Hair:More like \"generic mad scientist\" hair, butif that's all you people have to compare with, then that sure says a hell of a lot right there.Anti-Hero:Say it, Morty.*sigh* \"Rick's not a villain, but he shouldn't be your hero. He's more like a demon, or asuper fucked-up god\". To be fair, It does still pretty much sum him up.The Anti-Nihilist:\"Nobody exists on purpose, nobody really belongs anywhere, everybody's going to die. Come watch TV?\" That's you, Morty - that's what you sound like.Yeah? W-well, it's a hell of a lot better than going through the-the universe like you're on top of everything WHEN YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SCREWED THINGS UP TO THE POINT WHERE I SAID THAT THAT TO MY OWN\u2014I mean, not my *own* own sister, but\u2014but\u2014god damn it.Y-Yeah, I-I think they got the point there. Geez.Okay,but it's not like you don't do part of this yourself, you know.Yeah, it's called beingin-betweenfor a reason.Bamboo Technology:Since I'm a fu\u2014*urp*\u2014ing genius, I can pretty much make do with whatever's on hand to get shit done. Like, uh...oh! Remember when I turned myself into a pickle, Morty? And then I like used, uh, rat muscle in order to m-make myself a bo\u2014*burp*\u2014ody?I know you did it to get out of *family counseling*, Rick. I know how awkward the session was when you showed up as a pickle, and how awkward the car ride home was.Geez, someone should get counseling on taking that stick out of their ass.Berserk Button:So, there are two ways to get on my shit list - either cross me or shit on Pirates of the Pancreas - the same thing. And...messing with my grandchildren. Do those two things, I will end you.Uh, I personally don't really get too pissed, but I do really hate it when people go allMoral Guardians.Everyone who's smart does, Morty.Also being forced into commercials without our consent. Looking at you,PringlesandWendy's!Beware the Nice Ones:Trust me, Morty has his limits. Even I know that.Brilliant, but Lazy:When I'm not out adventuring with Morty or working on a project, there is really nothing I like more than just chilling on the couch and watchingFamily MattersorBall Fondlers, but my annoying family keeps interrupting me at every turn with unimportant crap that doesn't matter and is a waste of my talents, and won't go away until I offer some solution. And then they have the gall to also come complaining when their own stupidity causes the solution to backfire!Jeez, Rick, if you would actually put just a little thought into, y'know, actually offer a proper solution to our problems rather than pawning off just whatever mad haphazard quick fix that happens to pop into your head first, I get the feeling that a lot of disasters could have been avoided, y'know?Don't get smart with me, Morty!Catchphrase:Rick tends to say \"Wubba-Lubba-Dub-Dub!\" a lot.What are you talking about, Morty? I don't say that anymore.Okay, well he used to.I think it's because it means \"I am in great pain, please help me.\"but I don't know really.To be *burp* fair, one reason was that I was gonna make \"I don't give a fuck\" my new catchphrase at the end of Season 1, but I-I don't know why I also stopped saying it before it could even start. 'Guess I reallydon'tgive a fuck.I also say \"don't think about it\" a lot, because...well, a lot of people don't already, so why ruin a good thing?I think mine is \"Oh Jeez, Rick\" whenever I get stressed or worried.The Chessmaster:My *burp* escape from Jail, was also an excuse to uh, get rid of the intergalactic federation and to divorce Morty's parents.Don't forget the Szechuan sauce, Rick. I-I-I still don't know what that's about Rick.I know. And I feel sorry for you Morty.Cyborg:I'm *urp* so stuffed full of cybernetics, they won't let me on certain alien ships without behavior modification injections anymore.Yeah, I-I'm still fully human, I...I think.Trust me, Morty, if it happens, you'll know.Death Seeker:I guess I'm kind of *urp* jaded about the whole \"dying\" thing, since I've been through enough shit in enough places that it kinda takes the sting out of it. I mean, look - there's an entire MULTIVERSE full of Rick Sanchez's - even if most of them are assholes, ESPECIALLY the one whokilled my wife Diane and my original Beth- so if I ate it, it wouldn't...wouldn't...Matter?Fuck you, Morty.Expy:What the hell is an Expy?It means, Morty we're *urrrp* cribbed from an'80s blockbuster summer hit. But don't get so fucking worked up over it. Every fictional character has been cribbed off for years.Flintstones?Honeymooners.Jetsons?Blondieand it's not that old music band.Batman?Shadow,Zorro(He even says it himself), andPhantom.Pok\u00e9mon?Ultraseven.noteHow do you even know what that is?TNTaired a dub in the '90s, whichlet Space Ghost use clips from it.Fox Mulder?Carl Kolchak.Lisbeth Salander?Pippi goddamned Longstocking. Hell even thosecreepy-ass blue-haired girlsandthe girl that inspired themare basically a *urrrp* JapaneseWednesday Addams. And a good percentage of fighting game and beat 'em up characters were based onthis guywho's basicallyBruce LeemeetsMad Max.Um, okay, sothat guy Shinji, y'know, who I'm also compared to along with you and his dad, is basicallySpider-Manwith a giant robot instead of superpowers, andSailor Moonis basically a JapaneseShe-RawithWonder Womanthrown in.Hit the nail in the *burp* coffin.Right, and what aboutFamily GuyandThe Simpsons?Bingo.And now I got one in the form of some *buuurrrp* jackoff namedRand Ridley, though he's more of areally fucked up version. Which is saying something, since I'malreadysupposed to be a fucked up version of someone from that 80's movie I just mentioned. Sure I can be a *urrrp* dick most of the time but even Ihavelimits and karma can and will bite me in the balls and I still love my daughter. This fuckwad on the other hand destroyed his daughter's life in more ways than one and gives less of a shitthan even I would.Erasing her childhood memories just so you can get to the topis one reason to put you on my *uuurrrrrp* shit list,and don't think we didn't noticeChristian Slater, who already guest starred withusfirst! Sure it was as Vance, but still. I'd kick your shit in if it weren't for you being on adifferent network, but don't push your luck asshole. Karma can andwillstomp on your nuts someday. Again, I would know.Trust me, Mr. Ridley. Internal family blood feuds don't end well. Geez, I'd askHeihachi Mishimaon that topic but he's dead.Plus he didn't have a page anyway. I mean, even theothertwodid at some point.Uh, Rick, I think Netflix just killed Inside Job. Does that, like, count as karma for Mr. Ridley, or at leastsome extra karma to go with what already happens to him?In a meta way, Morty, yes it fucking does! Suck on that, biatch!Friendless Background:Yeah, I-I didn't really have a lot of friends before Rick came back. Or any, really.*burp* D-don't sweat it, Morty, most people are i-*urp*diots anyway. People weren't exac-exactly lining up to hang out with me back in the day either. Who needs 'em?A God Am I:Even Morty admits it.Rick, I said that you were more like-I know, Morty, close enough. 'Quote's down inAnti-Hero, folks - he said it, no take-backs!*ugh*The Hedonist:AW YEAH, now we're talking!! I gotta look up Unity again one of these days, having sex with an entire football stadium was a new rush!Aw jeez Rick, I-I don't think she wants to see you aga-SHUT UP MORTY!! IF I WANTED ADVICE ON FALLING IN LOVE WITH A SOCK FULL OF LUBE, I'LL ASK FOR IT!!Horrible Judge of Character:Heheheheh, this one's self-inflicted! Would you...would you believe Morty's s-so messed up that he...that he thought having empathy was a t-*BELCH*-oxic character trait? Th-that's how he be-be-becamean even bigger piece of shitwhen we-we got a detox.Limited Wardrobe:Hey, animation is *urp* expensive, it saves a ton of time and effort for us to wear the same shitty clothes every day.Um, Rick, what are you talking about?Don't worry about it, Mr-Yellow-Shirt-And-Jeans.Loser Son of Loser Dad:Before Rick arrived, I was thiscloseto becoming my dad. I slowly but surely got out of this. Besides, it's been overused in all media.I say you're still a *burp* work in progress, Morty. Not that you aren't already ahead.Nice Mean And In Between:Summer becomes in-between whenever she joins us and I guess I'm the nice one.And obviously, I'm the god-damned mean one by the way how I look, talk and act!Obnoxious In-Laws:My Dad sees Rick as a burden to our household though Rick fires back that my Dad is a tapeworm that knocked up Mom with his \"sorry-ass spermatozoa\".It's the truth, Morty. Now we gotta find a future husband for your sister that'll override Jerry's sorry-ass genes.Other Me Annoys Me:Jeez, I try not to judge, but what's with all the Mortys on the Citadel, anyway? I-it's like they're just s-shallow copies of me with like, with a random gimmick tacked on, you know? Like, Hammerhead Morty, what was up with that guy? Or Dancing Lawyer Morty? I-I mean, who tries to show off their pog collection during a friggin trial?!Preaching to the *burp* choir here, Morty.Ow! T-the Hell was that for?!Making damn sure you weren't a *burp* Pringles robot!As for me, in the past, I was trying to invent my portal gun when another Rick Sanchez came in and offered me the means to invent interdimensional travel so I could travel between any conceivable reality with only the company of myself \u2014 li-literally. This encounter made me have second thoughts about the pursuit of science and decide to dedicate my time to my family, but the other Rick wouldn't have it andbombed my family to bits when we were about to go out for ice cream. This drove me to invent interdimensional travel and I used it to search for that fucking bastard for years,but he eludes me to this day.What about the Council of Ricks, Rick?THEY'RE ALL *BRAP* ASSHOLES TOO, MORTY!Pet the Dog:While Rick clearly has some personality issues, there are some moments where he protects me and m-my family, or does nice things like taking Jerry to that theme park.Morty, if you mention that one more time, I will *burp* fucking drop-kick you onto theWalking Deadnightmare page.All threeof 'em.Seriously, I don't feel like talking about it that much. It's complicated. Things just didn't go exactly as planned. 'Even made sure it was somewhere where not even his own stupidity would kill him. Man that whole thing felt a little weird.Product Placement:Aw, Rick, I don't even like Pringles that much! And I don't care too much for Wendy's, either!They paid a bundle for these stupid ads, Morty, now get going! Grandpa hasn't given a refund before, and he's not about to start now!!*sigh* Can I at least get a PS5 after this one?*burp* Sure, the overprized, overhyped video game bullshit is all yours, now get to dancing and earn your keep! We have aFortnitegig.Reed Richards Is Useless:Yeah, thanks for the *burp*self-esteem boost, asshat! Screw humanity, they can figure it out for themselves just like I did. I mean, look at that douchebag President, his tech was still lame, but miles ahead of everyone else, just not up to my standards. Get to work, you slackers!Straw Nihilist:STRAW?! Aint nothin'- *burp* straw about me, motherfuckers!!Just because I'm a nihilist doesn't mean I have to LIKE it!!!Took a Level in Badass:If you think I'm the same Morty from season 1, it's time for a reality check, bitch! If you come in the way of my love interest or threaten my family I willFUCKING END YOU!Who the hell do you think I am?Meg Griffin?! Status quo ain't God here, bitch!Damn, Morty! Take it *urrp* easy there!Trademark Favorite Food:If there is anything in the multiverse that comescloseto justifying the to-*uuhhhrr*-ment of existence as opposed to the horror of non-being, it's McDonald'sMulanSzechuan dipping sauce. I WANT THAT SZECHUAN DIPPING SAUCE, MORTY!! THAT'S MY ONE-ARMED MAN!Aw jeez, I heard you the first time, Rick! I don't know what you want from me, I wasn't even born when that stupid movie came out! And even if I was, it's just another sanitized bastardization of a fairytale/folklore.And I think you even got maybe a couple dimensions hyped up for it!Tsundere:Rick is Type-A, where he's mean on the outside but deep down he genuinely cares for me and the rest of the famil-WHAT DID THIS PAGE JUST CALL ME!? IS THAT ANOTHER FUCKING ANIME TROPE?! You trying to lump me in with the likes of Soryu or Narusegawa or whatever fucked up anime chick they have these days?!Aw, jeez Rick, even if they were, I definitely wouldn't go withthe second one.Y-y-yeah, what was it you calledthat one version of heror whatever?The Intolerable Bitch? That's gotta say *burp*somethingcoming from you and some other nerds.Verbal Tic:I guess I do say \"Aw jeez\" a lot...*burp* Don't-don't look at me, Morty. My belching isn't a tic, it's caused by an unrelated alcohol problem.Aaaaand we are OUT OF HERE, bitches! Morty, you - *urp* - got any last words you wanna say?N-not really, Grandpa Rick. Actually, I'm just kinda tired...after talking so much about myself.At least you're honest about it, Morty - and to the rest of you who wrote and read this stuff...GET A FUCKING LIFE! We out!"} {"text": "

What do we have here? Some nerd browsing a website called \"TV Tropes\"? And you wanna write a biography about me? Well, why didn't ya say so?My name is Roger Klotz. I live in Bluffington with my mom and my cat, Stinky. Sounds easy, right? Honestly, my life was pretty boring while I was in grade school. Sure, I picked on the losers around me and I got held back a few grades, but it just was the same old routine... Until the dayFunniemoved into town.From day one, he was a loser. And not just any loser, either. He was a Capital \"L\" loser (and still is!)! Oh boy, I remember the day where I tricked him into thinking there was a Neematoad at \"Stintson's Pond.\" He was such a klutz! Although, there was that one time where I held him a party to celebrate his first year in Bluffington, but that doesn't mean he and I are friends now, got it?But then, seventh grade rolled around. During summer vacation, my mom told me one thing that would change my life forever...\"We're gonna be rich!!!!\"Yeah, you heard that right. The poor kid becomes rich overnight. What are the odds of that?! Though to be fair, my mom got the money after Mr. Bluff bought the trailer park, but that's besides the point! We finally got the money that could change our lives forever! Almost immediately, my mom bought the house right next door to Mr. Bluff's, and I got myself my own personal limo. Who else do you know that has it, hm?There will be spoilers here in this page, so don't blame me if I end up ruining stuff for you. Also, if I end upwasting your time by having you jot down everything to know about me... well, it's not my problem.Here's my trope list. I'm not gonna repeat myself after this, so you better take notes!Adaptational Nice Guy: Well, I may have picked on Funnie less often when we got into middle school, but that doesn't mean I didn't spare him!Alpha Bitch: Yes,even guys like me can fit this description.Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: More like \"embarrassing grandparents\". When I was thirteen, my grandma made me go on that show, \"Kiddie Korral\" because to her, I'm practically a toddler. ...What?Annoying Laugh: Ahh-hahahahaha!Berserk Button: If you hurt my cat Stinky, I will cream you.The Bully: Hey, I'm notthatbad. But at least I didn't become a goody two-shoes unlikethat Mexican girl from Royal Woods. What a wuss!Disappeared Dad: Remember when I mentioned that I live with my mom? Well, that's because my parents separated when I was only a baby. My dad lives in Bloatsburg (you know, the city where Funnie used to live), but he never decided to visit me!Dub Name Change: People in Latin America like to call me \"Rufo\" for some reason. What kind of a stupid name is that?!Everyone Has Standards: I may like to pick on the other kids at school, especially Funnie, but at least I don't actually hit people. Unlikethat fat kid from Colorado...Held Back in School: Yeah, I was in the sixth grade for three years. What's so important about that?Laughing at Your Own Jokes: ...Well, at leastmysense of humor is more \"fosisticated\" compared to you numbskulls.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Me? Afraid of snakes? Ha! You wish! Though there was that one time where Doug thought it was a good idea to show me one while we were in Bluff Scouts together, but that doesn't count!Aaaaaaaand that's all I got for ya. You wanted more? Well, too bad! That's all you're getting from me.Sayonara, suckers!Ha-hahahahahaha!!!"} {"text": "I'm a weirdo, and I clean up nice.(This page is best read in the voice of Breanna Yde or Izabella Alvarez. In other languages: Betzabe Jara in Spanish)Hey, lame-os! The name's Ronalda Anne Santiago, but I prefer everyone call me Ronnie Anne. I used to live in Royal Woods, a small city-town somewhere in Michigan. I'm pretty much known for being the girlfriend-I mean good friend of Lincoln Loud, who still lives there inthe Loud Housewith his ten sisters.Back in Royal Woods, I was known and feared as the toughest girl in the elementary school I went to. I was a fearsome prankster, a powerful force in the school's social circle. I pretty much had the school under my fists, and it was my destiny to rule the world!!That sounded bad, didn't it?I mean, I was a bit of a troublemaker, especially in Lincoln's case. You see, I had a bit of a cr-cr-cr-cr....wish of friendship for Lincoln. What I saw in him was he was kind, caring, supportive, encouraging; and I decided I wanted to be a part of that. Unfortunately, I was a bit too shy and arrogant to know what counted as the proper way to do so, so I did the same old schtick with him. I humiliated him, pranked him, pulverized him and pretty made it unsafe for him to be there. I'mgetting the idea that I probably shouldn't have done any of that.But don't tell anyone!Anyway, Lincoln had enough of my routine and marched up to me, and he told me he wanted to meet up with me to finish the whole thing. I was brave on the outside, but it had me freaking out internally. Did my pranking work? Did he finally want to tie the kno-I mean, be a friend to a girl like me? Apparently so, because when he and I met precisely as planned, he kissed me. Right on the lips. I felt a full rush of emotion going on, and I freaked out so much, I punched him. Right in the eye. I still don't know what the heck I was thinking when I did that. After that, I decided to give Lincoln a steak for his eye, as well as a note with my phone number on it.Since then, he and I have been talking. We're good friends for now, but he will be mine one day! I mean, never mind. Heh.However, one day, the pack of wild pigs that made up most of the males in Lincoln's group learned about our secret dating thing, and predictably they started teasing him about it, to the point where he said I was rude and gross and totally annoying. Now, I know he didn't mean it, but I thought he did, and that hurt me so much, I cried. And yes, I can cry. The last time I remember crying before thatwas the first time I saw Titanic.Anyway, I told my brother Bobby about that (oh my god, I can't believe I forgot to mention Bobby was my brother.) And he broke up with Lincoln's sister Lori. Thankfully, they set up a double date at Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet in order to make things right. And everything was going fine until those same wild pigs showed and forced Lincoln to insult me again. However, just when it looked like the day was going to end badly, Lincoln made a pretty big speech about how actions speak louder than words, and kissed me again. That may have just been the best day of my life. But we decided to keep our dating private, so we won't get teased. And that's the gist of it, really.However, I moved away to live with my bigger family,the Casagrandes, even though I didn't really want to, but you probably already know all about that. You could say I've been living a pretty crazy life there, almost as much as Lincoln. In fact, I'm loving it there: I've got a pretty caring family, a cool area to skateboard, a best friend in Sid Chang... Don't worry, I'm still in touch with Lincoln. We even do a few vlogs here and there. Pretty cool, right?If you want, you can read about my personality traits, and what makes me...well, me. You know, Lincoln was right. It is a lot of fun talking to you guys. But once you're done here,RUN!!RUN FROM THIS WEBSITE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!All the stuff I am:555: My phone number is 555-0121. I gave it to Lincoln after apologizing for clocking him in the eye, and it's still that way even after I moved over to Great Lakes.Affectionate Nickname: Bobby calls me \"Nini\". It's very embarrassing. My dad also calls me \"Ranita.\"Affection-Hating Kid: Look, just because I have considered kissing Lincoln a few times before, and I really, really loved those two kisses between him and medoesn't mean I like being kissed!Also, I hate seeing Lori and Bobby being all mushy and lovey-dovey! Blech!Beef Bandage: As I said before, I threw a steak for Lincoln after I gave him a black eye. I also threw another one to him so that his \"friends\" would stop thinking that I was his girlfriend (even though I kinda am) and so they'd stop teasing him.Berserk Button: Unless you're a member of myfamilia, or your name is Lincoln Loud, do. Not. Kiss me.Birds of a Feather: One time Lincoln decided to go to Gus's Games N' Grub over the Sadie Hawkins dance, and he thought I was gonna ask him out, so he ducked me. To be honest, if the roles were reversed, I would've done the same. So, it's water under the bridge now.Breaking the Fourth Wall: After I moved in with the Casagrandes, Lincoln taught me how to talk to you guys like he does.The Bully: I am not a bully...at least not anymore, but I... admit I picked on Lincoln constantly, and was the toughest girl in school. Think of me asthat mean kid from Bluffington, but less on the insults, and more on the shoves. I grew out of this after I first showed up, as in slight teasing.Color Motifs: Ilovethe color purple, and almost everything I wear is purple - except for my pants. I even have purple highlights in my hair.Commonality Connection: Me and Lincoln bonded over being equally disgusted by Bobby and Lori's super cheesy romantic couple-y-ness. Lincoln was surprised to find that \"squeal\" he actually really liked hanging out with me. Plus, we both also play video games and visit Gus's Games N' Grub.Deadpan Snarker: I am a snarking machine.Did You Think I Can't Feel?: As I said before, I may be a grouchy tomboy and known as the toughest girl in school, but I'm so sensitive about Lincoln's opinion of me that he's able to hurt my feelings quite easily. Again, just like Titanic.Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Lincoln says that when his sisters found out I was bullying him, they thought I was a dude and readied themselves for retribution. When he told them I was a girl, they all started squealing and thought I was bullying him because I lo-wanted to be his friend.Expy: You guys think that before I started having a healthier relationship with Lincoln, I was basically similar to oneHelga G. Pataki. I have no idea who she is. Lincoln says he'sfought her beforeand evenraced with her alongside Clyde, but hereallydoesn't wanna elaborate.Foil:I'm this to Bobby on how we treat the ones we lo-lo-lo-lo...care a lot about, since I treat Lincoln rather roughly.I'm also this to Lame-O's cool sister Lynn. Though we don't hang out much, she's just as rompin' and stompin' as me! But... come on, at least I know when to cool it. We both have freckles and are tough tomgirls who bully Lincoln. While my bullying is now just friendly banter, Lynn still wouldn't hesitate to threaten to give Linc a knuckle sandwich.Full-Name Basis: My actual name is Ronalda Anne Santiago, but I'm almost exclusively referred to as \"Ronnie Anne\" by others (the only exception is in that dumbsongLincoln's classmates teased him with).Gasshole: Not now\u2014 thank goodness! \u2014 but according to Abuelo, I used to fart a lot when I was a baby. Donottell anyone!The Ghost: I was never seen when I was first heard of in the third episode of the show where I come from.Give Geeks a Chance: I'm dating Lincoln, *squee!* who is agigantecomic book, sci-fi/fantasy, and video game nerd.Good is Not Nice: I do like Lincoln a lot, but I admit I do treat him rather roughly. He's getting used to it, strangely.Gravity Master: Nope. But if I had a superpower, it'd either be this ortelekinesis.Whatever gets me sicker air.Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Not really. I love purple, but I'm lean, mean and not the least bit feminine.Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Sid Chang,big time. She became my best friend since we both moved to Great Lakes city and she's very keen on doing the stuff I do, like skateboarding. We also both love Twelve is Midnight like how Lincoln loves Smooch.Hidden Depths: The way I act at school is way different from when I act at home. I cook frequently for my mom and Bobby, who I'm openly supportive of. Mainly, I am a beast at domestic chores. Plus, like Breanna Yde, I can sing really well,which the writers never utilize.Watch. Ahem...You ain't even gotta worry, about a thing I gotcha babe, and ain't nobody takin' me away, it's not a game I'm here to stay....Hidden Heart of Gold: Underneath my rough and tumble exterior, I am a devoted girlf-good friend who, in my own way, as far as I'm concerned, is not shy about admitting to Lincoln that I absolutely love him, even \"breaking up\" with him despite wanting to continue their relationship because of all the teasing Lincoln was getting about our dating.Ink-Suit Actor: I wouldn't say that. But some of you guys have been thinking I look exactly like a younger version of my first voice actor, Breanna Yde.Insult of Endearment: I call Lincoln \"Lame-o\" in all of the notes I give him - the same notes I sign with \"sigh\" hugs, kisses, and hearts.In the Hood: I wear a purple hoodie. Just look at me.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I admit, I can be rude and abrasive, but I do actually like Lincoln, make no mistake. I even helped him when he's being teased by \"friends\" for being my boyfriend by slapping him for kissing me, convincing Lincoln's friends that we're not dating.The Lad-ette: Lincoln once thought of me as \"rude and gross\" and thought I was raised by trolls, so I seemed to fit this as far as he was concerned. I can also be fairly aggressive and prone to violence when I'm mad.Large Ham:HOW DARE YOU ASSUME I OVER-DRAMATIZE MY FEELINGS?!MY FEELINGS ARE THE GENUINE ARTICLE! I LOVE LINCOLN A LOT! HE WILL BE MINE! ALL MINE!!WE'LL GET MARRIED, HAVE THREE KIDS AND WE'LL NAME THEM ALLSASUKE, BEN & SIMON!!I WILL DESTROY ALL WHO STAND IN THE WAY OF MY LOVE!!AND THEN I'LL CHANGE MY NAME TOMELON LORD!!!MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!(Cue Bobby walking in the room with a bucket of water, splashing it on me and then walking out) Thank you, Bobby. Ahem....please...forget I just said all of that. Especially the Melon Lord part.Limited Wardrobe: I always wear my purple hoodie as purple is my favorite color.Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy:I'm the Masculine Girl (a rough and aggressive tumbler) to Lincoln's Feminine Boy (has a stuffed rabbit and is in touch with his girly side).I'm also the Masculine Girl to my brother Bobby's Feminine Boy, who likes sappy romance movies, and facials. Not to mention his mushy romance with Lori. Which I mostly hate.Multiethnic Name: My name is mostly Latina, which befits my Mexican heritage, but my middle name, \"Anne\", is French.The Napoleon: I am small and a bit of a rough-houser.Nice Mean And In Between: Im the in between to how CJ is really sweet and helpful while Carl can be a real pain sometimes. Between all three of us, we are the children living our familia's bodega.Only Known by Their Nickname: People call me Ronnie Anne rather than my real name, Ronalda. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.Playing Sick: I've faked being sick twice \u2014 the first time was when I tried to get out of my history homework, and the second time was when I wanted to watch a lucha libre match but everyone else was going to watch Tio Carlos win an award. Both times, it led to Abuela falling for it and smothering me with remedies.The Prankster: Just ask Lame-o, whom I constantly pranked back at Royal Woods. I've tied his shoelaces together, put trash in his locker, shoved a sloppy Joe down his pants, and so on. Even after I moved out, I still prank him via mail. Of course, he's had plenty of experience dealing with his prankster of a sister Luan, and he routinely comes over to mi casa to engage in prank wars.Reformed Bully: After my first physical appearance, it seems that my relationship between me and Lincoln is more on the lines of aMasculine Girl, Feminine Boyromance over a bully and her victim. Heck, I seemed to be a lot nicer to him since I first appeared and I do have nice interactions with Lincoln's friends, and my public bullying of Lincoln he is completely okay with so that he isn't teased for having me for a \"squeal\" girlfriend.Secret Relationship: Yes. With Lincoln. And I lo-care for him a lot.Shared Family Quirks:Abuelo and I both love hot dogs. Then again, that's not all that surprising, sincehe'll eat pretty much all foods. My dad loves hot dogs too.Speaking of my dad, he and I are both gamers. He even has his own pair of VR goggles.Tio Carlos and I don't have that much in common, but we do both skateboard.My boy cousins and I are all pranksters.Shipper on Deck: I may find Lori and Bobby's relationship to be a little cheesy, but I do support them as a couple.When Bobby thought she'd broken up with him and fallen in love with someone else, I told him not to let another guy be her Boo-Boo Bear. Unfortunately, he biked all the way to Scotland and missed her completely... ah, classic Bobby Boo-Boo Bear. Never gets old.Strong Family Resemblance: I get my looks from my mom. How did I get so lucky with her?Tomboy: Yes. (Bobby: \"Nini, you're supposed to say more than that!\") All right, fine \u2014 just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm all sugar and spice. I enjoy skateboarding and video games and I don't like mushy stuff.Tomboy and Girly Girl: Let's see... I'm the tomboy to alotofGirly Girls. There's my cousin Carlota, Bobby's girlfriend Lori, my best friend Sid... Although compared to Lincoln's sister Lynn, I'm practically more girly.Tomboyish Ponytail: I wear my hair in a low ponytail, and I'm a real toughie.Tomboyish Voice: I have a fairly deep voice, suiting my tomboyish nature.Tomboy with a Girly Streak: I am also a hardcore tomboy, comparable to, as far as I've heard, two of Lincoln's sisters. I'm a rough cookie who's majorly grossed out by how mushy a lot of typically girly things are, and I enjoy video games and skateboarding. I also wears pink socks and the same type of girly slip-on shoes that Lori wears, not to mention a pink hair decoration in what is a pretty well-kept ponytail. As I've mentioned constantly, I am also quite sensitive, as I cried over Lincoln insulting me. I also started taking a liking toThe Dream Boat, as well, even if I initially didn't like it in the beginning. Mind telling me who you think should go aboard next?Tsundere: Really? You just lump in me in with those anime girls and call it a day? Though I've been informed this character type predates anime, seriously we gotta find a better name. We can't just borrow from thejapon\u00e9sall the time. Also, it does not help that if I were to speak Japanese, I sound likeRie Kugimiya, who Linc says voices these kinds of characters.Uncatty Resemblance:Not really, but my parrot Sergio and I do both have sharp tongues.Vocal Evolution: Back when I lived in Royal Woods, and even for a while after moving in with the Casagrandes, my voice was quite rough-and-tumble and deep. Around the first time I met Sid, my voice has become sweeter and less rough.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Despite being mostly fearless, I have stage fright. In my defense, it's not just run-of-the-mill stage fright; I have areason! Y'see, when I was in the first grade, I was in a play, cast as a tree, and I fell down, right in front of everyone, and someone shouted, \"Timber!\". Talk about embarrassing!Youthful Freckles: I have some freckles on my cheeks. I also has this with Lincoln and two of his sisters Luna and Lynn.Well, guys, it's been fun reading out my personality traits, but now I've gotta go.

That's all just a buncha memes, though...but there are a few differences between UI and my powers.MySuper Formis, like,all green and stuff, while Ultra Instinct is, like, white, and I don't even know what it does. All I know is it's strong enough to take on that Scorpion guy without a scratch on me after, and it lets me go toe to toe with the likes of Superman. Could I fight Goku himself? Eh, I'll let you figure it out.

We're practically, like, theTrope Codifiers!Like, whenScoob and me discovered 'em back when they were called Sorcerer Snacks, it was aDecon-Recon Switch\u2014Daphne thinks that bribing us to do stuff is, like, amoral, but the way me and Scoob see it, Fred just gives us Scooby Snacks for stuff we always have to do anyway!Forced Transformation:Like, one time I became awerewolf!And, like, the title of that movie alone should cue you in on how much I liked it.Also Ithoughtthis was the casewhen I went to Tokyo and ate a cursed pizza.Fortunately it wasjust a trick, like, same as always!Friend Versus Lover: Like,when I was dating Velma, she and Scooby didn't like sharing my attention.

I'm also friends with Sandy Cheeks, and weloveto play karate, or should I say,KA-RA-TAY!She's so sweet and kind. All of my friends are so sweet and kind! I also love feeding my pet snail, Gary.

I only appeared in the commercial for a few seconds when the commercial lasted around three minutes. I don't think that many people even remembered seeing me.Winning truckloads of cash and becoming impossibly rich caused me to become a big fancy snob and even forget Patrick was my best pal. It didn't last long as all the friends I'd made only liked me for my money. I don't want a rich and fancy life if it makes me forget who my real best friend is.All-Loving Hero: I really love everything and everyone! Do you wanna hang out? We can play tag, blow bubbles, and jellyfish\u2026And Call Him \"George\": I'm so affectionate to just about everyone!

Nevertheless, there's still some good in Plankton!Berserk Button: I may be a simple sponge with a good heart, but doNOTtake advantage of my kindness. Squidward (and even Mr. Krabs) justhadto learn this the hard way.Beware the Nice Ones: I don'tusuallyget angry, but when I do, watch out. I even choked the life out of Mr. Krabs for not hiring Squidward back over a dime.Born Lucky: Now, I don't wannabragor anything\u2026 but good things usually seem to happen to me at random. Guess a positive attitude goes a long way!Break the Cutie:Yeah, it's happened. There was that mean customer who yelled at me over not getting a drink, Squidward playing that nasty April Fool's prank on me (though my bawling helped with a counter-prank), the time Gary ran away from home, and when I even got fired once or twice!I also felt very hurt when all my friends called me\u2026 (grunt) \"Idiot Boy\"!Broken Ace:I've taken and failed my boating test thirty-eight\u2026 no, wait\u2026 thirty-ninetimes! Wait, that was from a while ago. Now, it's\u2026 gimme a second to count\u2026 oh.

And Mr. Krabs says I'm the best! Anyway, let's go jellyfishing!Captain Oblivious: Oblivious? I don't know what that word means.

The best way ever!Comically Missing the Point: I thought this was TV TRAIN, as in a choo-choo train!Companion Cube:I have a spatula named Spat!I also fell in love with a Krabby Patty.

And one time when I made a bet with Squidward to not cry for the rest of the day, I managed to hold in my tears all the way until midnight!Depending on the Writer: Huh. I guess writers sure have a hard time portraying me sometimes.For my popularity, the citizens of Bikini Bottom either seem to like me for my kind nature or seem to hate me for being a big goof. Sometimes, I don't think they even know me.When it comes to my fry cooking skills, everyone sees me as either a celebrity chef or just a lowly fry cook.In the past, I was good enough to hold my own against Sandy in KA-RA-TAE (and even beat her), but more recently, Sandy usually wins...easily.Sometimes I'm smart, sometimes\u2026 not so much?I can be really civilized, super fancy, and well-organized, but sometimes I just care about having fun!Sometimes, I'm seen as too weak to even lift a twig with marshmallows as dumbbells, but I've also been strong enough to\u2026 lift Mr. Krabs off his feet while grabbing him by the neck. Wow.The Ditz: Me? Dumb? Nah. Maybe I'm a bit na\u00efve, but I'm nowhere near dumb.The Dog Bites Back:There was the time I got back at Squidward for treating me like his personal slave.There was the time I felt bad for writing stories that ruined the lives of other Bikini Bottomites, but Mr. Krabs took Spat from me and demanded that I write the most outlandish story yet. I did, alright. I published in great detail how Mr. Krabs forced me to write the lies that ruined people, who then took their money back from him.Doing It for the Art: I don't work for the Krusty Krab for money (Mr. Krabs hardly pays me and Squidward anyways), I just love making good Krabby Patties and making everyone happy!Drama Queen: I tend to overreact over the smallest things.Dreadful Musician: I claimed to be a master at the bassinet\u2026 apparently, I thought wrong. I do way better on the ukelele, though!Drill Sergeant Nasty: I acted as this when training Gary for the Snail Olympics. Though I was too harsh on poor Gare-bear.Drives Like Crazy: I haven't earned my license\u2026 BUT IWILLSOMEDAY!Dude Looks Like a Lady: I bet it's the eyelashes.

Well, maybe too forgiving.Easily Impressed: Oh, I was impressed by Squidward reading a book. Sure proud he knows how to spend his time.Early-Installment Weirdness: My original laugh sounded low and deep instead of the high-pitched one everyone knows me for.Everyone Has Standards:Sure I'm determined to keep the Krabby Patty secret formula from Plankton, but when Mr. Krabs kept scaring him with his fear of whales, I didn't like it and called him out! Too bad I scared off Plankton at the end of the episode while Mr. Krabscompletely got away with it!Sorry, everyone! (\"Frankendoodle\" taught me to watch myPractical Jokes, too.)It's true that I often feel concerned and worry for Squidward at times, such as when he fainted when I invited him to stay at the pineapple when his house burnt down when he didn't make it out of Hotel Halibut when we were forced to evacuate, and not to mention that Sunday when I tried to get his Sunday papers for him and he called me and Patrick out for stealing his pedicure, and I tried to apologize and offer him a cake as a present. Emphasis on try.Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: While I love everyone in Bikini Bottom, the only person I outright can't is Bubble Bass because he made me lose my confidence when he said I forgot the pickles. Turns out later that he hid the pickles under his tongue to mock me! He's even sat on Plankton once when hewasn'tdoing anything wrong!Evil Laugh: When I met the Strangler.Extreme Doormat: Some people like Plankton say I'm this on occasion. Well, I'm a sponge. I just don't see any reason to be mean.Eye Scream: Sure I tend to get my eyes injured at times.Once I spilled bubble soap in them to entertain some kids. They loved it!I also got mustard and hot sauce in them for fun a few times. It hurt, but it was fun anyway.When I spilled a blob of ketchup and made a mess, I accidentally sprayed my eyes instead.Mr. Krabs once made my eyes burn like they were full of lava thanks to his flashlight.When Patrick and I fled the Toy Barrel, I had a literal eye burn from the sunlight due to spending a long time in the darkness!During the time I got \"Stuck in the Wringer\", I caught a left black eye.I also accidentally destroyed the entry of Bubble Buddy's hometown, Bubble Town, after getting bubble soap in my eyes.Felony Misdemeanor: A customer ordered a medium soda and I gave him a LARGE! I GAVE HIM A LARGE! I soiled the good Krusty Krab name! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED\u2014 hey, why are you poking me? I mean, it tickles, but what do you mean by an \"off switch\"?Flanderization: Boy, I've become a LOT more na\u00efve and eccentric over the years. And I also let everyonewalk over me more!

I'm cheerful and optimistic, and I consider Squidward to be my close friend.Grew a Spine: The time Gary got addicted to Snail Bites and I couldn't help but give him more and more until there was none left in the world, Patrick taught me the best way to make him stop was to firmly say \"no!\"Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: I am yellow and very kind.Healing Factor: Being a sponge, it's obvious.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Patrick is my best friend in the whole wide world! Also, my best friend is Squidward!Horrible Judge of Character: The fandom thinks I'm this about certain people. Come on! Mr. Krabs is such a good boss. Squidward is a good friend! And Mrs. Puff is the nicest teacher in the world!Iconic Outfit: White shirt, brown pants with belt, and black shoes with white socks with blue and red stripes. My pants are as square as yours truly, hence my name!Identity Amnesia: When I ran away from Bikini Bottom after being called \"Idiot Boy\" so many times, I hit my head and forgot who I was! It was then I assumed the identity of \"CheeseHead BrownPants\".Idiot Hero: Hey, that's mean!Innocent Blue Eyes: My large blue eyes represent my innocence.Innocently Insensitive: Some feel I ruin everybody's day, mostly Squidward and Mrs. Puff.Jerkass Ball: Looking back, I do regret the times I've become a massive jerk toward the people I care about.I still feel bad about what I did to Gary after I adopted Fluffy as a friend for Gary.

Everyone loves my Krabby Patties! Even Squidward couldn't resist them!Taking Advantage of Generosity: Sadly, people often take advantage of my kindness.

K-R-A-B-B-Y P-A-T-T-Y says I!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Iremember encounteringMermaid MannoteAquaman: It's Aquaman! Not Mermaid Man or Ocean Man!.

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go and get back to work flipping those patties.Alternative Title(s):Sponge Bob Square Pants Sponge Bob Square Pants"} {"text": "Pictured: Someone who really wishes he wasn't here right now.\"How did I ever get surrounded by such loser neighbors?\"\u2014Meon my annoying, inconsiderate neighbors.Hello there. My name isSquidward Q. Tentacles, Bikini Bottom's resident artist, clarinet player, andSupreme Chefextraordinaire. My talents would probably be more recognized if it wasn't for my obnoxious next-door neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, and the fact that I'm forced to spend my weekdays trapped in the prison of high cholesterol that is the Krusty Krab. All I ever want in life is peace and quiet, but between being stuck at that cash register all day and forced to put up with that annoying sponge'soverly cheerful attitude,getting my wish is never easy. Fortunately,even when he finally got his own page here, to my obvious misfortune,he still has to stay on it for the most partwhile I get to keep this oneallto myself. Sucker! I got to admit, that's not so much compared to what Iusuallyhave to deal with.Oh, and if that's not enough, thatstuck-up snobSquilliam Fancysonalways thinkshe can be better than meby showing me up every chance he gets.Served him right when I put together that marching band and blew everyone away at the Bubble Bowl!How about you read this in the voice ofRodger Bumpass, my incredibly talented voice actor? At least it'll be different from thatFrench narratorwho keeps butting in on my everyday life!Artistically unique tropes that apply to me:Abusive Parents: And Grandparents. My mother was rather dismissive of me and even supportedSandywhen she insulted me during \"Sportz?\". My grandmother wasn't kind to me, either; in \"Chum Fricassee\", after finding out I've been using her chum recipe wrong, she attacks me by hitting my foot with her walker frequently.Accidental Truth: One time, after SpongeBob's non-stop laughing nearly drove me insane, I lied to him that if he didn't can it with the laughter, he'd blow out his \"laugh box\" and never be able to laugh again. Too bad it came back to haunt me after I revealed the trick and laughed over it. How was I supposed to know laugh boxes were real?Agony of the Feet: In \"House Fancy\", that yellow dimwit crushed my foot with a table and ripped off my toenail! Ugh! The internet community was pretty grossed out by that scene, and I can't blame them. As a matter of fact,how did I grow out a toenail?I know we get acloser look sometimes, but...Even to this day, I wonderif it was still worth getting to win against Squilliam.That\u2019s not really somethingI should be having second thoughts about.All of the Other Reindeer: Where do I even begin? Between those moronic neighbors of mine constantly putting me down, my cheapskate boss forcing me to stand at that register all day without any compensation, and the people of Bikini Bottom'sirrational hatred of me(maybe more thanthe other way around), it seems like nobody wants to respect me!Arch-Enemy: I may have flat-out said that I consider SpongeBob to be the bane of my existence, but he's still just a loser irrelevant neighbor. If there's anyone more qualified for this, which may or may not be saying something, it would have to be Squilliam. I can at least remember how longhe'sbeen tormenting me, namely back in high school and for being aSmug Snaketo me.Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Well not really, I might look blue at first glance, but it's only because I live underwater. When SpongeBob was messing around with his stupid reef blower, he made me turn purple without any water!Animals Hate Me: That yellow idiot's moronic snail actuallyattacksme, and when those morons brought me on their camping trip, I was constantly attacked and nearly mauled to death by a Sea Bear! Although, I guess I did set him off bywearing a sombrero in a goofy fashion and screeching like a chimpanzee.Not Annoying At All Laugh: My laugh isNOTannoying, it's just very honky sounding because of my nose.Anti-Hero: I admit it, I'm rather cranky, sarcastic, and hate everyone around me, but sometimes I show that I'm a good person deep down.Anti-Villain: Don't remind me. Apparently, I'm supposed to be an antagonist just because I despise that yellow doofus, even thoughhekeeps bothering me all the time!Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: There was that time I turned into a giant after SpongeBob and Patrick used too much of the growth spray.Attention Whore: OK fine, when I'm not keeping to myself, I like to demand people's attention by displaying interpretive dancing or playing my clarinet really loudly. There, I said it!Bait-and-Switch Suicide: I don't know why everyone thought I would kill myself when I stuck my head in the oven and put up a birdcage. Let's be honest, as miserable as my life may be,I probably would've done it a long time ago.I've evensurvived plenty of other stuffthatshouldhave killed me. Sometimes I wonder if the sources of my misery, such as those two morons,are actually keeping me alive... For the wrong reasons, of course.Beautiful Dreamer: Or so my neighbors think. I do look very attractive if I do say so myself.Berserk Button: Go ahead, take a wild guess whoand/orwhat. It's not like I care which is worse.Good Neighbor Instinct: Sometimes, I can show that I do care for SpongeBob, like when I tried to make it up to him when he was sad about Christmas. When me and SpongeBob were about to be murdered by the \"Hash-Slinging Slasher\", I actually hugged him. I did it in fear, OK?Oh, and I schemed with Mr. Krabs to humiliate that buffoon intonevergoing near the hooks again.Harsh? Yes. Possibly life-saving? Definitely.After a rude customer made him cry after we went throughDavy Jones' Lockerto deliver him a pizza, I decided to give him a piece of my mind and knocked that ungrateful jerk out.Born Unlucky: It goes without saying. Will I ever go a day without getting injured, humiliated, or suffering some kind of misery?Break the Haughty: I admit! My arrogance and jerky attitude do get the better of me very, very often!Brilliant, but Lazy: Hey, I CAN win the employee of the month award if I wanted to! I just don't care to do any work because the award is just a big scam! I think even that one time I actually tried to win was just to get back at SpongeBob for going crazy about it.Brutal Honesty: I'm always quick to tell the two imbeciles what they need to hear than what they want to hear, not that's ever going to get through their thick skulls.Bullying the Dragon: Looking back on \"The Camping Episode\", I regret my decision to deliberately provoke the Seabear! Needless to say,it DIDN'T end well for me!Please don't remind me again! The same can be said for dealing with Patrick's big dumb sister.Burger Fool: Well, that's what happens when you work at the Krusty Krab!Butt-Monkey: I solely exist just to be the show's punching bag. Howwonderfulis that?Cannot Spit It Out: I was forced to apologize to SpongeBob for that cruel April Fool's prank, but I didn't find that easy enough.Cannot Tell a Joke: I'm able to tell a joke, but it falls flat due to my lack of enthusiasm. Oh well.Can't Live with Them, Can't Live without Them: As much as I can't stand that yellow headache SpongeBob, there was a time I did miss being around him. \"Squidville\" comes to mind.Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Unfortunately to SpongeBob and Patrick as I have to zip their mouths shut before they could speak.The Comically Serious: Being surrounded by a wacky world full of annoying idiots is so amusing to the viewers. Whatever.Cosmic Plaything: It seems the heavens above created me to be their plaything. You don't know how horrible it is.I may not be a nice person,but it\u2019s still more than I actually deserve, sheesh.Cranky Neighbor: Thanks to living next door to a yellow doofus who will never leave me alone, I'm the most iconic example of this trend. They might as well rename it \"The Squidward\", but it's usually the other way around.Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass:Who're you calling a moron!?Well, anyway, I'm not exactly the most intimidating guy around, but if I see the Green Sun of Neptune, I turn into a giant feral octopus that is one of the biggest and most dangerous creatures in Bikini Bottom.Deadpan Snarker: I never hold back my sharp wits against those who are annoyingly moronic, especially SpongeBob and Patrick, but their little brainscan't comprehend sarcasm.Dirty Coward: Dirty? Well, excuse you! When the world is so messed up and you\u2019re stuck living with nitwits, I\u2019m only out for myself!The Dog Bites Back: When I'm not on the receiving end of some cruel misfortune, I got one of these every now and then, and it feels so good!One time, Mr. Krabs turned the Krusty Krab into a luxury hotel and forced me into catering to Patrick's every whim citing, \"We shall never deny a guest, even the most ridiculous request.\" So I quit and then used the policy against him. That'll teach ol' man Krabs.There was that time when that big oaf Patrick became \"king\" and demanded that all of the citizens hand over their stuff to him because he and SpongeBob said so. Worse, he demolished my house so he can make a Ferris Wheel. I was the one who got everyone to realize that the pink doofus has no real claim to power, and has no right to boss them around and force them to hand over their stuff to him. When SpongeBob tried to convince me to sign a treaty pledging loyalty to the dimwit, I responded by shoving it into one of his face craters. Take that, SpongeBrain!There was the time Mr. Krabs left SpongeBob in charge as acting manager, and he tried to boss me around. So I told SpongeBob a bunch ofKrusty Krab \"secrets\", and made him do all the dirty work. After that, Mr. Krabs ended up washing dishes, a random customer frying the Krabby patties, SpongeBob holding a bunch of customers hostage with his silly dancing, and me napping the day away! Best day at work ever!And let's not forget that time I read SpongeBob's diary to everyone in Bikini Bottom all just to get back at him for everything he put me through for 9 seasons. Of course, SpongeBob didn't ruin my day this time,and that only made me the bad guy. But I don't care!It was so worth it!Dreadful Musician: Oh, everyone's a critic. Well, I'll have you know I'm a decent clarinet player. The mood I'm in only depends on how well I play it, not that I sound awful.Emotionally Tongue-Tied: I had so much of a hard time apologizing to SpongeBob for that awful prank I pulled on him that doing so caused my head to explode.Enraged by Idiocy: When you're stuck with two simpletons like SpongeBob and Patrick, yes, you know I'll get mad.Everyone Has Standards: As much as SpongeBob bothers me to no end, I was shocked and disgusted that Mr. Krabs wouldsell his soul for 62 cents.Also, after SpongeBob and I walked through tornadoes and who knows what else to deliver a pizza to a guy, only for him to scream angrily at SpongeBob for forgetting a drink thathe didn't even orderand slam the door in his face, reducing the poor sponge to tears, even I couldn't stand it. Even if he did order the drink and Mr. Krabs might've hung up, that jerk deserved getting knocked out.Flanderization:I got more uh...grouchy as time went on. Can you blame me? Between those two idiots, the entire town of Bikini Bottom failing to recognize my talents, and having to keep working at that grease trap under that cheapskate crustacean, of course I was going to end up a little nastier! Come to think of it, the whole town got a lot worse too. Huh, well that explains why my paychecks were a lot less than usual. Glad that whole fiasco died off and sanity came back to Bikini Bottom.Oh, and this didn't just apply to my behavior.Someone up therethought it would be funny if I suffered more, even if I didn't deserve it! Luckily, that seems to have died down. And thank goodness, because my poor soul couldn't have taken another swipe like that.Foil: You could say I'm the opposite to that cheery, fun-spirited yellow oaf.Freudian Excuse: I had a miserable childhood and I live with idiot neighbors who harass me every day. You can't really blame me for being such a grouch.Friendship Denial: It makes no difference if we're neighbors, that doesn't mean I'm SpongeBob's friend, and I never will be! Sadly,that yellow imbecilecan't take a hint.The Friends Who Never Hang: She\u2019s more of an acquaintance really, but I do rarely interact with Sandy on my own. It might seem strange since she\u2019s easily the most rational and intelligent person I know (besides myself of course),and one of the least irritating, but on the other hand, she\u2019s WAY into extreme sports,and that nitwit SpongeBob almost got himself killed trying to appease her unquenchable lust for adrenaline. She also likes to play god with science,like the time she got me and SpongeBob biologically fused, I\u2019ll never recover from that nightmarish experience. Hmmm\u2026maybe it is better to keep my distance?Get Out!: Whenever SpongeBob and Patrick happen to wander in my house, I always tell them this. Trust me, I deal with this every day.Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: I'm the Grumpy to SpongeBob's Gleeful. I'm grumpy, cynical, and hate SpongeBob with a passion. We're probably one of the most iconic examples in the new millennium.Green and Mean: Hey, I'm not that bad of a guy! However, my skin color is somewhere in between the aquamarine and teal range, and my \"meanness\" is more out of irritation rather than villainy.Green-Eyed Monster: So what if I'm envious of SpongeBob and Patrick? It's not like they deserveall the nice stuffthat seems to befall them!Hair-Trigger Temper: I get mad easily, mainly by SpongeBob and Patrick's stupid antics.Hates Being Touched: Unfortunately, my aversion to physical contact doesn't stop SpongeBob cuddling me. Ugh!Hates Everyone Equally: Yes, I really do.It's only personal if you annoy me enough times.\"I Hate\" Song: I hate people so much that I even sang a song about it in one episode! Pretty catchy. You should take a listen to it when you get the chance.Hollywood Atheist: Oh puh-lease! I have no soul. And I don't believe in the supernatural *a hellish background and laugh pop up behind him* Those are just the effects! It's not like it's real or anything!Hypocritical Humor: Almost every barnacle-head in Bikini Bottom likes to get on my case for not having hair. The fact that most of them don\u2019t have hair either flies right over their empty heads.Jerkass: It's really hard to be a nice person when everyone around you is a bumbling idiot.Jerkass Has a Point: It's not hard to understand why I'm not a pleasant fellow. Let me enlighten you.I work at a low-paying minimum wage job, I'm a victim of bad luck, I have two idiot neighbors who bother me endlessly, and Squilliam always rubs his rich lifestyle in my face.You can find my anger and annoyance towards SpongeBob to be understandable considering that he does things like borderline stalking. I even had to report the police on him for that.Unlike SpongeBob, I have a more realistic attitude towards working at the Krusty Krab, since Mr. Krabs is a cheapskate who hardly pays us and treats me and SpongeBob horribly.Oh, and let's not forget how the entire populous of Bikini Bottomirrationally hates mefor some reason. Fine, there may be a few times where I did deserve their hatred, but come on! Sometimes I could just be standing there and they'd act like I was a public safety hazard!Jerkass Realization: I remember that time I pulled a cruel prank on SpongeBob which made him cry. I wasn't proud of that.Jerkass to One: I'm a lot ruder to SpongeBob than I am with others, even Patrick who's just as annoying as him, but only dumber than him. Can you blame me? I not only live next door to him, but we're also co-workers, meaning that I have to deal with him bugging me and tormenting me with his tomfoolery day in and day out.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sure, I may be cranky, grouchy, short-tempered, and somewhat arrogant, but I can be a compassionate and courteous individual as long as you don't annoy me.Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Sometimes, anyways. Why would I help someone for free? In \"What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?\", I was the only one who was happy of driving SpongeBob to leave Bikini Bottom and even ruin the others' chances of bringing him back home.At least I don't pretend to feel sorry unlike the others. Then I decided to help bring the yellow twit back...only because Mr. Krabs promised to reward me with a fancy egg I needed for my collection. Too bad that egg broke on SpongeBob's head which brought back his memories. Doooh!Well, if it makes you feel better,I did end up deciding tothrow my brain in the trash.Karma Houdini: I got away with laughing at SpongeBob for his kissy mark he got from his grandma, which is still funny to this very day. I even escaped punishment for taking advantage of his kindness and treating him like a slave (complete withhaving him wear a maid outfit).To be fair, this normally doesn't happen with everything else I do.Lack of Empathy: So what if I'm harsh or uncaring?Laser-Guided Karma: In the old seasons, bad things happen to me because I was being a total jerk. Nowadays, I get unfairly punished. Thankfully these days, it only happens if I really have it coming.Lazy Bum: If you see me at the Krusty Krab, I'm probably taking a nap or reading my magazines. There was one time I wanted to pop SpongeBob's Bubble Buddy for making me provide excellent service!Lean and Mean: I am fairly lean thanks to my having a strict diet and I have no respect for people who like to waste their miserable lives indulging in unhealthy junk like Krabby patties. ... What? What do you mean I love Krabby patties?I hate them!Lethal Chef: I'm a terrible fry cook. There was one time I burnt someone's shake. And don't get me started on that Krabby Patty I made from \"The Algae Is Always Greener\".notePlankton:Squidward!Limited Wardrobe: Oh please! The only clothing I have on me is just a shirt!No Matter How Much I Beg: I'm theTrope Namerfor this in \"The Paper\" and I also provide the trope's quote page. For context, I told SpongeBob over and over not to give me the gum wrapper I threw away. Then SpongeBob does all of the impressive things with the paper and I traded all of my possessions just to get it back, only to find out I couldn't do anything SpongeBob did with it!What a bummer.Never My Fault: Okay,so maybe I potentially brought my misery on myself for not being a particularly nice person,but as time went on,things just ended up getting so blown out of proportionthat I reallydidn'tdo anything to deserve it.Or at least not enough.Non-Action Guy: I'm not really athletic like the rest of the characters, but that's okay because I prefer playing my clarinet. Why would I bother getting myself injured doing all of these crazy stunts anyways?No-Respect Guy: I'm perhaps the most rational person in the series and everyone treats me like dirt.Non-Indicative Name: Don't let my name fool you; I'm an octopus, not a squid.Not So Above It All: Okay, I'll admit. There are times I partake in SpongeBob's tomfoolery, and I'll end up taking the games too seriously, ruining them for everyone else.One-Track-Minded Artist: All of my glorious art is focused on me. And only me!Only Sane Man: Knowing that I'mSurrounded by Idiots, especially if those idiots are SpongeBob and Patrick, I'm usually the most mature and rational person in Bikini Bottom.Okay, maybe notall the time.Pet the Dog: I do have my moments of compassion for others. Yes, even SpongeBob. The most famous example is when a customer drove SpongeBob to tears for forgetting his drink, and I stood up for the little guy and shoved the Krusty Krab pizza down that jerk's throat for good measure.Perpetual Frowner: With how I'm treated in Bikini Bottom, it's hard to smile. Am I sure?Does this look unsure to you?*frowns* ... Speaking of which,that moment seems to have gained some kind of following, hasn't it?Red Oni, Blue Oni: Not in a literal sense since I'm more aqua colored while SpongeBob is, well, yellow, but I'm the blue to his red. I am far more serious and logical than that obnoxious and impulsive hooligan.Sadist: I always get my kicks out of the pain, suffering, and embarrassment that happens to SpongeBob and Patrick.One time in \"The Camping Episode\", when the dummies were going out camping, I thought of how satisfying it would be when they get lost in the woods and never came back. It turns out they're camping close to the neighborhood!I even enjoyed humiliating SpongeBob in \"Fools of April\" and \"Little Yellow Book\", though in the former, I felt awful about going overboard with thatprank, but not so much about the reading his diary! Hahaha!I took it to a new level in \"Sportz\" when I got fed up with the two's usual stupidity and invented a sports game where the numbskulls are on the receiving end of injuries, but must go by the ritual \"No pain, no game\", all in an attempt to get them murdered!Sanity Slippage: Unfortunately, there are times when I'm not sane, like that time when I was put in charge of the Krusty Krab, though I decided to take a day off. After going back and forth to the Krusty Krab to check on SpongeBob, I slowly became insane and locked myself in my house so I won't have to go back to check on SpongeBob. Then I finally snapped when I hallucinated SpongeBob in the drain of my bathtub and I ran back to the Krusty Krab to catch up to him while in the nude. That was one moment I'd like to forget.Seven Deadly Sins:Wrath, yes. Maybepride, but you try not to be angry when you'reSurrounded by Idiots(see below).Slobs Versus Snobs: Snobs? You could've put a better word to describe me! Just look at Squilliam! Nonetheless, I fit the latter as I am very sophisticated and dignified unlike SpongeBob and Patrick who are a whole lot stupid and obnoxious.Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: As you can tell, I'm the Smart Jerk to both SpongeBob and Patrick's Nice Morons, as I am far more intelligent and rational than the two hooligans can never be.The Snark Knight: I'm always sarcastic in a messed-up world. It's how I cope, really.Straw Loser: It seems that I was created to be a punching bag just to make SpongeBob and Patrick look like winners.Strong as They Need to Be: I'm not known for being physically strong, but there was one time I lifted up and moved my house.Supreme Chef: I'm far from a good fry cook like SpongeBob (which I really don't care about anyways), but I happen to be great at conventional baking, such as casseroles and souffl\u00e9s.Surrounded by Idiots: Let's face it, everybody in Bikini Bottom is a complete moron. The only people I don't have a problem with are Sandy, Pearl, and Mrs. Puff (who also hates putting up with the yellow doofus).Those Two Guys: I'm sometimes paired with Mr. Krabs, especially in earlier seasons as we're both adults unlikeSpongeBob and Patrick.Throw the Dog a Bone: When I'm not being tormented every single episode, there are a few ones where I actually got a happy ending. \"Band Geeks\" is my prime example. Eat that, Squilliam! SpongeBob even gave meabs when I was a superheroand even when I was unwillingly turned back to normal!Yank the Dog's Chain: I'm a constant victim of this too, unfortunately. Whenever something good actually does happen to me, it usually only lasts for a while right before something random ruins it for me. Sometimes,even those two nimrods don't want me to stop enjoying myself.Trademark Favorite Food: Canned Bread is my favorite food. And I also like smoked sausages, which is not a coincidence they are shaped like my nose.Ultimate Job Security: I may very well be the trope of never being fired regardless of how poor I do my job, which I really don't care at all because I reallyhatemy job at the Krusty Krab. I can't stand the customers who buy such low-quality food, and I'll haveSpongeBobdo all of the work while I nap. To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to get fired, but sadly, that will never happen. As you learned from \"SpongeBob, You're Fired,\" the reason Mr. Krabs fired him instead of me, despite the yellow numbskull being a better employee than I am, is because I have seniority.To be fair, I have tried quitting. Many, many times. But,somehow, I always end up back at penny-pincher central.The Unapologetic: When I made SpongeBob cry by pulling that horrible prank on him, I felt bad, but I had a hard time apologizing to him. (And thanks to my conscience, I did.) Then I also remember making him cry by reading his work diary, and then hisrealdiary! It was such fun!I didn't even care anymore that the whole town was assaulting me for it.Ungrateful Bastard: It didn't matter if SpongeBob and Patrick did something to make up for ruining my day, I still lash out at them. Sometimes, I'm wrong for this, but in other cases, the nice things they've done for me will ruin my day even further.Throughout \"Sponge-Cano\", I (rightfully) complained about how I'm not grateful for anything, especially being SpongeBob's neighbor, and that I am the most miserable person in Bikini Bottom (which is true, by the way, if you know how much pain I've been through). At the end of the episode, SpongeBob saved me from falling down the volcano, but I was lying to him about being grateful for his help and only said that just so he can save me.Okay, maybe I only said that I was lying because I was upset about almost getting killed for nothing, losing my house so it could plug up the volcano, and having no choice but to sleep under his roof, but it's not like I'd really thank him.Unstoppable Rage: There are times I get mad whenever SpongeBob and Patrick ruin my day, but there are even times when Ireallylose it when I just couldn't take any more of their antics. Trust me, it's not a pretty sight for them.Vague Age: I'm usually seen as older than SpongeBob due to my maturity, but depending on the episode, I'm either the same age as him or around the middle ages due to my grouchy neighbor status. How unrealistic.Vitriolic Best Buds: Oh puh-leeze, I'm not friends with that obnoxious yellow oaf!Okay, maybe there are times when I sorta like the little weirdo, but he can't know that. At least not if he doesn't already.(SpongeBob: Aw, Squidward! That was touching! I'm so glad we're friends!) What are you doing here, SpongeBob? Go back to your page! You know they won't let you bother me as much here!Whew, good thing that was one of the easier times I've told him. I think I'm gonna like this place just fine. You might as well leave too unless you have any other tropes to add.I heard there are things here that are more harmful to you than me...Alternative Title(s):Sponge Bob Square Pants Squidward Tentacles"} {"text": "I'm a maaaaaaagical princess from another dimension! But you knew that already, didn't 'ya?(If you want to channel the magic of the butterfly princess, try to imagine the page being read byEden Sher;Kana Uedaif you're a Japanese reader; or Agustina Cirlunik if you're a Spanish reader from Latin America.)*A portal in the fabric of reality rips open in front of you. Shortly afterward, a blonde teenage girl holding a bright, glowing wand and a pair of scissors jumps through the portal as it closes*Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! My name is Star Butterfly! Sorry about jumping out at you. It's a long story. I was using my dimensional scissors that my friend Ponyhead gave to me. I wassupposedto be picking up nachos for my buddy Marco! But, I guess I messed up a bit. Now I'm here, in this weird...place with all these words? And what's that text at the top saying Self Demonstrating? The heck is going in here?Oh, wait, I'm sorry, where are my manners! You're probably confused, aren't you? Apologies. Anyways, like I said, my name is Star Butterfly! I'm the princess of Mewni, a far off kingdom from another dimension! I was supposed to take the family wand up and become the new queen, but...uh...well, I don't like to dwell on it. So my parents sent me to this weird place called Earth, where people who look just like me spend their time NOT doing magical spells and rather go to this place called School and do this weird thing called Math. Weird huh? I don't get it! Where are the warnicorns!?But, whatever. Once I was enlisted as a thing called a \"Foreign Exchange Student\", I moved in with my pal Marco. Marco...is awesome. He's bestest bestest best friend in the world! Or...at least on Earth. My other friend Ponyhead is more my best friend in Mewni. But anyways, Marco is awesome, like I said! He makes nachos, he knowskah-rah-tah(that's how you say it right? And why are those words blue?) and he has feelings for thisotherawesome friend of mine, Jackie Lynn Thomas! I was able to help him get a date or two with her and now their officially boyfriend and girlfriend! BF and GF! But...I dunno, I do feel like Marco could do better.(There it is again! Weird.)Oh, but whatever. Sadly, not everything is great. Recently I kinda had to go back to Mewni with my mom because Toffee was out to get me. ...Oh wait, I never talked about Toffee, did I? Oh my gosh, how could I forget Toffee! Yeah, so, basically I like to fight monsters as a hobby. One of these monsters is this weird ugly bird thing called Ludo. He kinda sounds like my dad if my dad were evil, short and wore rags. We had to team up once to defeat Toffee, who is this evil lizard guy who apparently sounds likean infamous serial killer.I don't hear it. Anyway, he pretended to work for Ludo before turning the tables on him and taking over. He kidnapped Marco andmade me choose between letting him die and destroying my wand.I chose the latter. We got rid of him... or so I thought. Now he's apparently possessing Ludo's body and preparing to come looking for me. Mewni's about to go to war and I need to be there...But, let's not focus on that right now!I think I know how to get out of here. So, I took a look around while I was explaining all that. It says that if I list these things called \"troop-ees\" about myself, then I might be able to get out of here. Well, okay then. I'm sure I could do that!I mean, anything to get out of here.(Okay seriously, what is this blue text about?}And don't worry about me when I get back. Things might look bad but they always work out in the end. Especially when I'm involved! I'm Star Butterfly! I always win! Right?Right?Trope-tastic TEXT DISPLAY!!!Action Girl: Oh, totally! Even though I kinda find magic to be a bit hard, I've been kicking monster butt for a long time!Alien Catnip: I! Love! Sugar! I put it on everything, even burritos. For some odd reason Marco doesn't like that.Ambiguously Bi: StarFan13 has a crush on me. So what? It's cute! ...Hey, what does \"ambiguous\" mean anyhow?Attack! Attack! Attack!: Why are so many people always about having to plan out their attacks and stuff? If you see a threat or a monster, just kick their butt!Broken Pedestal: Mina Loveberry used to be my hero! ...But, Marco was right, she is kind of cray-cray.Brought Down to Badass: I lose my wandfartoo many times than I would like to confess. Fortunately, I think I'm still pretty good at whooping butts!Brought Down to Normal:I soon realized that magic has brought nothing but misery to both Mewmans and monsters alike. So, me and my family dipped down and made it gone. Forever.Character Tic: *chewing on wand* Huh?Comically Invincible Hero: Like I said, I'm not too great with my wand. But even without it, I tend to win most fights that I come across, whether it be with magic or hand-to-hand! What can I say? I'm blasting monsters and I never break a sweat!Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A lot of people think I'm just a normal everyday girl. And I am!

This was sooo much fun! Let's do this again sometime! See ya again soon! Byeeeeeee!!!"} {"text": "Leader of The Decepticons!(For best effect, read in the voice of Chris Latta, Doug Parker, Michael Dobson, Charlie Adler, Tom Kenny, Steve Blum, Scott Whyte or Billy Bob Thompson)MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!I, STARSCREAM, AM NOW THE HEAD OF TV TROPES!Yes, foolish fleshings, feast your eyes on the true leader of all, ME!...I said, I AM NOW YOUR LEADER!...I see you are failing to grasp your current predicament. Very well, then perhaps I shall regale you with tales of my prominence. I. Am. Starscream, true leader of the Decepticon Army and greatest commander of the Seekers known to all! My origins are rather...hmmmm. Come to think of it,there are quite a few options, aren't there?Well, the most simple of them begins some time ago, on your wretched world in the year 1984. It would seem that there were those who had somehow heard of our exploits from Cybertron, and elected to sell small effigies of our likenesses to you fleshings. They simply chose to do so by exporting small figurines from elsewhere, then renaming them to fit the settings and names of our war. For some reason, theymisconstrued my name as \"Ulchtar!\"Me! Fortunately, they realized the error of their ways and properly corrected their mistake. From that point forward, you humans worshiped the very ground on which I stood. Somehow or another, you deemed me the greatest of the Decepticons, in no small part thanks to thosebroadcasted recordings of our adventures. Well,a version of them anyway. Nevertheless, you wished for me, Starscream, to be leader of the Decepticons, as you bore witness to my multiple attempts toseize commandfrom that incompetent wretch! Alas, they never seemed to succeed. Perhaps I underestimated his strength, or perhaps that accursed Optimus Prime dared to intervene. But I still continued to function. Well,for a time. YetI managed to cheat death itself, and to this day continue to plot my schemes of conquering the universe and ending Megatron's reign once and for all!I would also wish to note that it was I and I alone who managed to earn himself the rightful place of being the first Cybertronian to earn himself a page on this website. If anyone else does so, it will be automatically inferior to my own, for who could compare to my greatness? And yes, I am well aware thatterrorist leader who sounds conveniently like megot his own page first, but I'm willing to forgive the transgressions of one who clearly recognizes my genius. However, I will take great pleasure in exacting my revenge onthat insufferable Vulcan half-breedwhohumiliated me! And woe befall on thatsnarky paranormal investigatorif he ever dares toshow his face!Furthermore, shouldthat treacherous androidand thatinsolent teenagerwho both made melook foolishdare to show themselves, I will see to it they perish before THE GREAT AND POWERFUL STARSCREAM!!! And don't think I've forgotten about you,pretender! And you best leave your clumsy hands off my page, youaccursed Autobot! And it seems now thatmy former hostis now on here.Great...Now, it would be wise to read the entirety of this page and learn of my greatness.Your lives may very well depend on it.Such tendencies of mine include:Adaptational Badass:Adaptational!?I amalwaysthe greatest of Decepticons! It matters not if I happen to exist incrude drawings,heavily detailed computing,a mix of the two, or in thosecomputergamesas no one, not even Megatron himself, could compare to my greatness!Adaptational Heroism: Ugh. The version of me fromthe first of thatTransformers anime trilogy. That me is a cross between my usual self andthe turncoat Predacon, so in there I'mmean on the outside, but a kind bot at heart.BLEH! I don't care ifthatmade me the show's most popular character! Istillfind it disgusting!The depiction of me in thecomic universeofIDW Publishingisself serving as everbut I do find myself allying with the heroes far more often against bigger threatsand evengave my lifeto ensure Unicron's destruction.Adaptational Villainy: On the other hand, there's thatversion of me who tried to destroy the universe, almost making Megatron look cuddly by comparison. I'm proudly evil, butI draw the line at destroying Cybertron(sans whenpriorityis in need), out ofspite, no less!Agent Peacock: It would seem I will have to remind you of this constantly, so here's where I begin. I am undoubtedly, shall we say, a showoff, but do not assume I can't and will end you. ForI. Am. Starscream.Back from the Dead: Strangely enough, this seems to be a habit for me. Perhaps Primus is either recognizing of my brilliance, or is trying to play a cruel trick of fate. Either way,STARSCREAM LIVES FOR ETERNITY!Thathuman drivel you fleshlings seem to obsess oversaw me return from being blasted into ashes after Unicron brought back Megatr\u2014er, Galvatron. Not even he could end me! (For the record, how was I supposed to know there'd be a giant robotic planet out in space resurrecting my fallen leader!? I thought this would be easier than shooting cyberducks in a barrel!) On that note, Cyclonus and Scourge did make for excellent hosts... that buffoonWaspinatorserved his purpose for a time, but there was something rather unusual about his cerebral cortex. Quite resilient for a weakling if I might add. Oh, and because I amsomehow obligatedto appease the humans who worship me, yes, apparently the hairy namesake of that wretched Optimus explained my spark was indestructible.Then you fleshings had to go andallow me to get humiliatedby thoseparanormal investigating humans! I was sohumiliated.Strangely, my infamous exploits in thatunusual rodent'sstorieshad me brought back after I slaughtered nearly everyone. Worst yet, Megatron made me his mindless slave! Me!It seems this happened to mea few timesin that one tale.Oh, the humiliation doesn't end.That one version of medied more times than I care to count. Indestructible, my servos! AND WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKETHAT YELLOW CREATURE EVERYONE IS OBSESSED OVER!Bad Boss: WHAT?!?! I AM NOT! I just refuse to tolerate insubordination, that's all! I didn't scheme my way to becoming Decepticon leader for nothing! I expect my underlings to do as I command, and if they don't, I WILL USE THEIR LIFELESS SHELLS AS MY THRONE! *ahem* If there is one thing Megatron and I actually agree on, it's that you cannot lead the Decepticons effectively through kindness and compassion. A successful Decepticon leader teaches his minions respect through fear, out of concern for the consequences of disobedience.Be Careful What You Wish For:I actually succeeded in becoming the ruler of Cybertron once. It wasn't nearly as fun I was liked. I only thought about the power of the position,not the work I'd have once I got it.Berserk Button: Do. Not. Threaten. My. Position! EVER! Disagree with whether or not I can successfully lead the Decepticons all you like, but insinuate that I am even incapable of commanding the Seekers? YOU WILL BE TORN LIMB FROM LIMB!It seems one of myalternate selveshad this issue when that annoyingly logical Shockwave came by and started acting like he ran theNemesis. As if that pathetic suck-up wasn't bad enough, but to force my counterpart to share command duties? I would have scrapped him myself if this Megatron wasn't so...frightening.Big Bad Wannabe: I amnota mere \"wannabe\", you ignorant waste of atoms! I am the rightful heir to the throne of the Decepticons! ...Okay, I admit, my ambitions are a little stronger than some other Decepticons, but at least I'm not trying to hide them!Boss's Unfavorite Employee: Somehow, Megatron always wants to scrap me and very few others. Soundwave and Shockwave? He wouldn't dare touch them. The other troops? Only if they cross him. But every single time I so much as enter the room, I'm immediately in his crosshairs.Bullying a Dragon: There are times when I find my tendencies of betrayal don't work out so well. Megatron may be intellectually inferior to yours truly, but physically? That's another tale I care not to discuss.Butt-Monkey: Firstly, I am not an inferior primate, nor do I resemble anything closely related to a tailpipe! I'm just...resilient! Yes, resilient!Megatron may harm me as often as he wish, but I am\u2014 (gets punched by Megatron) \u2014just going to lie here and beg for mercy for a while...! Oh great now the fleshbags have added in their\"karma\"just to rub it in!Came Back Wrong: Why does my resurrection as a mindless servant at Megatron's leisure happen so frequently? I amnothis subservient stooge!Can't Kill You, Still Need You: This is one reason Megatron hasn't scrapped me, besides the obvious fact that I can't actuallybescrapped. While I seek nothing more than to become the Decepticon leader myself, I am often an effective lieutenant when I'm forced to toe the line. Indeed, if that bootlicking Soundwave isn't the one to wield Megatron in his laser rifle mode during a battle, it's usually me!Card-Carrying Villain: And quite proudly! I would never stoop so low as to be \"good\", especially where those pathetic Autobot scum are concerned. Evil is in my nature!Cassandra Truth: Do you know how many times I've told Megatron there's a far more efficient strategy to destroying the Autobots, only to be brushed off? I have been forced to stop keeping count.Character Tic: Evidently, the effigies you make of me tend to look rather different from time to time. I mean,how many of them have you made?Regardless, it seems one version fromthose brilliant mindsalways changed physical appearances a great number of times.Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: No matter who stands in my way, betrayal is inevitable. I will not allow anyone, especially Megatron, to stand in my way of ruling!Co-Dragons: In spite of my more...rebellious tendencies, I hold authority in the Decepticon ranks second only to Megatron (for now). That being said, those lecherous loyalists Soundwave and Shockwave still hold equal standing. I will have to deal with that once Megatron is destroyed.Complete Monster: Oh yes. There are a few versions of me out there who are so despicable, even I am appalled by their actions. Such asthat version of me who is willing to blow up the universe.Composite Character: The dub of theUnicron Trilogydoes this to me and everyone else with the dub ofTransformers: Cybertron, since the original version had no connection to the previous two series. As a result of the two unrelated continuities being connected, two different versions of me were combined into one character.Cool Plane: Truly you think so little of me to not recognize this as part of my motif?Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Though you may think of me as a coward (and to those who do,I will dispose of you later), I am a brilliant scientist with plenty of combat and strategical experience. If anything was to go wrong, I will find a way to scheme my way out of it. Rememberthe Combaticons? I made them just because Megatron had the nerve to kick me out! Well who was laughing then, Megatron? ME!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...wait, didn't the Stunticons foil that scheme? SCRAP!Deadpan Snarker: I'm not shy to snidely remark on how poor we are performing in this war. It's just that Megatron fails to recognize my criticisms. And they say I'm the one with the ego problem.Decomposite Character: When thatyellow little annoyancemy creators won't stop fawning overgot his own movie, they kept me involved. Yet, for reasons I couldn't understand, they took that idiot Blitzwing and made him look like me.LIKE ME!WHY? HE IS INFERIOR TO ME! I AM THE ULTIMATE POWER! I...wait,he died?Heh. Serves him right.The Determinator: Destroy or beat me all you wish. I won't stop until I, Starscream, claim leadership ofTHE DECEPTICONS!Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: In testament to my skills as rightful Decepticon leader, I managed to outwit that fool Unicron himself! I promised him to deliver a new body, but when I was unable to move thanks to those accursed Autobots, I convinced the giant to grant me life once again. Then I left him to perish! Alas, my time amongst the living may have been short lived thanks to Galvatron, but even he couldn't boast to fooling such a horror.Dirty Coward: I like to stay quite polished, thank you very much! However, I am least well aware enough to leave once myglorious leader's brilliant planfalters. Is it any wonder this war isn't over?The Dragon:Dragon.Hmmmmm. Idolike the sound of that. But this will soon be inaccurate, for once Megatron is destroyed, I WILL RULE THE DECEPTICONS!Demonic Possession: If I perish, there isn't any bot out there that I won't take over. Hmmmmm. Perhaps Megatron may make a suitable host yet...Even Evil Has Standards: I will gladly betray Megatron or any other petulant peons to get what I deserve, but if Cybertron itself is at death's door, I will work to save it regardless.Depending on how I feel.Evil Genius: More so than thatpathetic brown-noserSoundwave, if I might add.Evil Is Not a Toy: I wouldn't describe the power of the Underbase as evil (well, until I got ahold of it). It's more of what you'd call a \"tool\". That being said, my destruction at its hands was probably a sign I shouldn't have absorbed it all. Well,aside from me killing more Autobots and Decepticons than Megatron ever did.Evil Sounds Deep:Hardly. My audio processors are rather loud to ensure all know who rules them. Thoughafewversionsof myself do sound rather sinister.Expy: Evidently, some of you creatures think I happen to bear a strong resemblance to thatbaffling trickster you can't seem to stop fawning over. He is nowhere near my level! I am far more brilliant (and, dare I say, handsome) than he is!Fatal Flaw: I am not \"flawed\" in any way! I ammerely forced to put up with the incompetence of others who fail to recognize my brilliance and skills as leader of the Decepticons!It'snot my faultthey refuse to see Megatron for the inferior leader he truly is!Faustian Rebellion: Few can say they've outsmarted Unicron and live to tell the tale. I am one of those few. Give me the body, and I'll leave you to perish!Faux Affably Evil: Underestimate me at your own peril. I may know when toadmit defeat, but I've earned the right to rule. Ask the multiple Autobots and Decepticons who fell victim to the power of the Underbase.Fountain of Expies: As I am an iconic part of the Transformers franchise, I have managed to inspire the creation of similar characters who seek to lead the Decepticons.Scorponok's anime incarnationhas all of my ambitions and the smarts to carry them out, but he hasnone of my ethics. Hedestroyed Cybertronjust to ensure his leadership over the Decepticons, even I wouldn't go that farusually. His plan worked for a while until Galvatron somehow returned from the blast that destroyed the planet. Scorponok would become the leader again via dumb luck when the Autobots managed to kill Galvatron.Transformers Victoryhas two Decepticons in this role,Leozackand his subordinate Hellbat. Leozack has my ambition to overthrow his leader Deathsaurus, and I hardly blame him as Deathsaurustends to sit around doing nothing all dayand hispunishments for failure are worse than Megatron's punishments for disobedience. Sadly, even though Leozack kept his ambitions a secret, Deathsaurus still found out and frightened Leozack into obedience. Hellbat resembles me more in many ways, except instead of leading the Decepticons, he just wants to overthrow Leozack as Deathsaurus' second in command. I would mock his lack of ambition, but given how much Hellbat screws up with even that meager goal, he would probably dig his own grave trying to overthrow Deathsaurus.Almost all of thePredaconsbetrayed Megatron at some point, but that flier Terrorsaur is explicitly based on me. He has a similar color scheme, flying alt mode, and screechy voice, thoughhe is far too overconfident. He has the sense to try to recruit allies to overthrow Megatron, but anytime he does, he ends up getting used and betrayed, loser. Eventually, Terrorsaur realizes he has no chance of leading the Predacons and that psychotic spider Tarantulas gradually becomes the primary treacherous minion so Terrorsaur got killed at the start of the show's second season.That anime Predacon who bears my namesadly lacks my ambition and just seeks to overthrow Megastorm as Galvatron's second in command. Instead it is Megastorm, anExpyof Megatron, who seeks to overthrow Galvatron.As thatone series about chasing Miniconshas amore heroic version of me, the show's version of Thrust resembles me more than its version of me does. He is acowardlysycophantwho will do anything to get in the good graces of the boss. Oddly, he isn't interested in overthrowing Megatron until Sideways convinces him to work for Unicron. That fool! Thrust actually believes Unicron sees him as someone of value, and thedestroyercrushed him to death by accident and did not even realize it. This is why when I cut a deal with Unicron, I backstabbed him!Freudian Excuse: There is this one setof taleswhere I apparently have a reason for being so evil (what, wanting to kill Megatron after all the years of abuse I took isn't enough?) It seems my counterpart here wascold constructed, and wasunableto assume theAnimesquebody that looked rather snazzy, if I do say so myself.\u25caThe Friend Nobody Likes: I admit, there are few amongst the Decepticons who recognize me as a friend. Fine, none of them! But I have no time for friendships! I must focus on winning the war and destroying the Autobots the only way I know how; as leader!Genius Bruiser: Lest we forget that I once began my illustrious career as a bot of science? It is such knowledge that I have brought my foes to their doom.Ditzy Genius: HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE MY REASONING IS LESS THAN PERFECT! I AM STARSCREAM! I... fine. There were times when I let my ambitions get the better of me. But how can one think properly when you're constantly being tormented by Megatron?Hated by All: For some reason, no Decepticon likes me or would ever acknowledge me as a leader. These imbeciles believe that Megatron is much more effective than me. And to make matters worse, when I finally became a leader of the Decepticons, Megatron came back as Galvatron and killed me! And who mourned my passing and cursed Galvatron's name for murdering their beloved leader? NO ONE!!! But one day, I'llmakethese fools appreciate me, and soon the world will see WHO is the REAL leader of the Decepticons!Hero Killer: In spite of what that sycophantic Soundwave thinks, I have a far better track record of destroying our enemies. Lest we forget that it was I who used thepower of the Underbaseto wipe out nearly all of the Decepticon and Autobot forces who stood in my way? Or myrather sinister counterparteliminated Cliffjumper outright when Megatron couldn't even kill a single Autobot? Never underestimate me. EVER.Inferiority Superiority Complex: For a time, those humans onthat insignificant little islandexplored the idea of me doubting my own capabilities after I returned from the dead. Evidently, slaughtering a great deal of your allies and enemies isn't enough to satisfy one's doubts. That is, until you kill more of them...Informed Attribute: Nothing is ever informed about me! I am exactly as you see before you! Though thewriters of a certain seriesnever bothered to show me trying to replace Megatron as leader, aside from a few snide remarks. Neither did that sillylive-action film series with the fleshlings and explosions. Evidently, they couldn't be bothered to recognize thebrillianceof my constant desire to rule!In-Series Nickname: Refer to me as \"Screamer\" one more time...It's All About Me: Well of course it's all about me! I actually intend to win this war! Not spend my time worshiping that foolish Megatron! Only I can rule and lead us to victory!I Was Beaten By A Fembot And A Pony:LIES!Slanderous lies! Besides,that jaundiced encounter with those technicolored, pastel, equine mammalswas never canon! Wait, there's a sequel in progress?FINALLY!I WILL HAVE MY RETRIBUTION ON THESE WRETCHED, QUADRUPEDAL, TECHNICOLORED CREATURES! Wait, we're forced to work together with both them and the Autobots?! SCRAAAAAAAAAAAP!noteMegatron:I expect nothing less from you, Starscream.Yesss.Jerkass: Okay, I admit, I have little room in my programming for kindness. You expect me toact as if I'm responsible for everyone's well being and treat Megatron with kindness and respect?Wait,seriously?!More to the point, one thing Megatron and I actually agree on is that you can't command respect from the Decepticons by beingniceto them. They'll simply consider you a weak pushover if they don't simply scrap you. If you want them to respect you and follow your command in battle, they have tofearyou and your wrath.Jerkass Has a Point: As unpleasant as I may be to some, my advice is often sound. There wasmany such instancesI warned Megatron about how foolhardy his plan was. But did he ever listen to me?Take a wild guess. And the Autobots would come charging in and halt our schemes. Is it little wonder I wish to see him deposed?Joker Immunity: No matter what sort of trouble I cause for the Autobots or Megatron, nothing can kill me.I will return from the dead,take control of great power,seek my vengeance,or bring the universe to its knees!Death or defeat is merely an inconvenience.Not even Primus himself could stop me from taking it all!Karma Houdini: Even though my tendencies led Megatron to beat me within an inch of my life, I always managed to avoid being destroyed. Guess Megatron needed me more than he cares to admit! Well,that is until I pushed my luck too far.And that one time I should have made sure Megatron stayed dead.And that one time I betrayed Megatron and tried to conquer the Klingon Empire. Okay, so maybe my efforts aren't as successful as I'd hoped.Large Ham: Again, I do not bear even the slightest of resemblance to your edibles! I simply pronounce myself as loudly as I must, that's all!Lightning Bruiser: Few can doubt my mastery of the air. As Commander of the Seekers, I possess a speed befitting of my standing, and can battle against even the mightiest of foes.Meaningful Name: Apparently the flesh creature who named me thought I wouldbe yelling into space for some reason. For the record,I DO NOT YELL ALL THE TIME!noteAlso, some of my more devoted fans have said that my creator felt the name \"Ulchtar\" didn't make sense. I will give him credit; Starscream is more memorable. Who would recallThe Ulchtar?It just sounds so unnerving to even say.Multiple-Choice Past: Was I a former Autobot before I joined the Decepticons, or was I always a Decepticon? Was I part of the Decepticons from the beginning or did I join in the middle of the war? It doesn't matter where I came from, none of it changes who I am.Not-So-Harmless Villain: To those who underestimate me, I warn you of this: in spite of my demeanor andnatural tendencies, I can, and will, end you if I so choose. Lest we forget,I laid waste to Autobot City.I killed scores of Autobots and Decepticons with limitless power.I brought Cybertron's greatest power into my possession, andI nearly brought all of reality to its end. Never assume me for a fool, for it will be the last thing you will ever do.One-Hit Kill: My Null Ray may look simplistic, but the weaklings amongst the Autobots will instantly shut down upon impact. A shame I can't get this to work on Megatron or Prime. Oh, all the trouble it would have saved me.Our Ghosts Are Different: For lack of a better term, yes, I cannot perish (well,most versions of me anyway). My spark cannot be destroyed, allowing me to reign supreme over\u2014what is that? Please tell me it isn't...oh no, not them!Out-of-Character Moment: There was one such time that I was forced to hold back when that bumbling triple changer Astrotrain decided topose as a godin front of those unsuspecting fools on Titan. Then again, that idiot was acting a little too much like Megatron. Perhaps it was wise not to try and go after him. For all I know, that could have been Megatron in disguise!Paint It Black: If I am \"borrowing\" unsuspecting individuals whenever I end up as a specter, I usually take the time to make a few improvements to better match my iconic appearance.Palette Swap: My body type seems to be rather popular amongst you humans. I've noticed that my compatriots Thundercracker and Skywarp often are created alongside your tributes to my genius whenever possible. And those bumbling Coneheads for some reason. And the Rainmakers? You really seem to enjoy those. Wait, who are those Seekers? Are you trying to replace me?!Person of Mass Destruction: After absorbing the Underbase, I proceeded to eliminate all who stood in my way. Autobots and Decepticons alike fell to my power (not even Megatron can boast of such claims). Alas, it destroyed me from within.For a time that is.Pet the Dog: Yes, there are times when even I dare to show weakness and act with compassion (See Megatron! At least I can be bothered to show a little decency!). The humans who made stories in thisone part of your planettold how I actually was touched by this one holiday called \"Christmas\". To be honest, it actually brought me peace for once on that journey, in spite of the fact that I found myself at my lowest point. Perhaps there ismore to this Christmas than I had once thought...Put on a Bus: Those accursed fleshings dared to leave me out of their stories! Me! The sole reason why all even bother to pay attention to this war in the first place!They even forced me to remain in prison!Or left me out altogether!Or killed me!Fortunately, there are those that recognize how boring things would get if I wasn't around.Rage Against the Mentor: Well, why wouldn't I? All Megatron ever does is disrespect me, treat me like scrap, and berate and belittle me whenever I commit the slightest of failures! In spite of all I have done for the cause, he refuses to think of me as an equal! He will pay...Really 700 Years Old: Unlike you organics who age and die, Cybertronians can survive indefinitely as long as we have a supply of Energon. How old I am, like other major characters in the franchise, depends on the incarnation. I might be mere thousands of years old in your Earth years, ormillions.Red Ones Go Faster: What can I say? I am the master of the skies. Naturally, red looks good on me anyway.Sissy Villain:...Excuse me!?My insistence on being rightfully respected by the Decepticon army doesnotmake me look \"bitchy\" in any sort of way, nor does my less... grandiose body compared to Megatron! Although not helping matters isthat one realitywhere my body was slender andhigh-heeled, of all features.Andthat other onewhere a clone of mejust happened to be female. And yes, admittedly, out of all Earth fauna I feelcatsare the least intolerable. But I assure you, making fun of me is still a fool's errand if you actually value your worthless lives!Smug Snake: Megatron accuses me of this far too often. I know for a fact that I can do a far better job at winning the war than he can, but he always insists that I only seek the position for the power and never the responsibility. What is power then if not to have it?The Starscream:It pleases me that you humans were wise enough to name one of your phenomenon after yours truly.Though it does insult me they bear little resemblance to me. You might find that changing once I have this world in my grip.Terrible Trio: Rarely will you find me without my loyal compatriots Skywarp and Thundercracker. In fact, you insist upon it!They Killed Kenny Again: FOOLS! Whoever continues to insinuate that I will always be killed no matter what will be TERMINATED! I donotalways perish, and even if I do, you likely won't have seen the last of me!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Perhaps to be expected of me, buta pair of humans pitted me against...a pony!BWAHAHAH!!Wait? I LOST!? Grr, how DARE you insinuate I would be defeated by a tiny winged equine!By my own weapons no less!Villain with Good Publicity: In my glorious leadership of Cybertron, I held this status. Was the public well aware I was Megatron's former right hand? Absolutely. But they still loved me. What were they going to do? Let Optimus Prime rule it? They couldn't trust that accursed Autobot if their lives depended on it.We Used to Be Friends:Someversionsof me were once compatriots with a fellow scientist named Jetfire (though it baffles me why some of you fleshlings call him Skyfire; it's not like youdon't have a vast base of information at your disposal). Sadly, we found ourselves on opposite sides of the war. Perhaps it's one of the few things I truly regret allowing to end.

I wasn't happy with Phil and Lil when they tried to take him back to the hopsicle and got us losted in the forest, and if someone says bad things about Dil, I tell them about the neat suff he can do. Whenever I play a game with my friends, I want to make sure Dil can play, too.Clear Their Name: Whenever Spike gets blamed for something bad that he didn't do, it's up to me to prove who did it, but it's kinda hard for me since I can't talk to the growed-ups.Determinator: If I wants to do something, you bet I'm gonna do it... Because A baby's gotta do, what a baby's gotta do!Does Not Like Shoes: Well, I don't mind shoes, I just don't wear them. But the best of my friends wear shoes.The Diaper Change: Sometimes I need my diapie changed, like all babies.Feud Episode: One time, Me and Chuckie stopped being friends after a little incident with a big green box. Another time, we had another fight, Rocks Vs. Dandelions. I finded a girl named Samantha to play with instead of him.

Not sure if all heroes likes doggies, though.The Leader: I guess I am kinda the leader of my friends.Limited Wardrobe: I always wears this blue shirt.One-Episode Fear: Once when my toy soldier got sucked down the bathtub drain, I was worried I would too after Angelica told me that many other things could also go down the drain. My fear went away when I found out I was way too big to fit down the drain.Naked People Are Funny: Once when I saw how happy Spike was being nakie, I decided to take off my clothes and convince my friends to do the same. My daddy and Chuckie weren't very happy about that. In the end, I decided that wearing clothes was much better than being nakie.Out-of-Character Moment: One time, I falled off the jungle gym and became a scaredey cat.

At least, initially.Big Brother Instinct: Towards Dil. Even as a preteen, I still care about my younger brother.Continuity Nod: I carry around a screwdriver-shaped keychain, a throwback to my trademark toy as a baby... but it's not just a screwdriver-shaped keychain, as you'll find if you continue reading below.Gadgeteer Genius: Just like Dad.The Hero: Generally. That is, unless Kimi or Chuckie or pretty much any of my friends... and Angelica takes the lead in certain episode.Heterosexual Life-Partners: Me and Chuckie are still the best of friends like in the original show.Iconic Item: \"Memoirs of a Finster\" That episode where Kimi discovered that she's of Japanese descent? Onmy side of the storyviewers learned that I still have that toy screwdriver from when I was a baby. I converted that old thing into a keychain and I never leave home without it.Informed Judaism: Averted, as opposed to my infant days. I actually celebrate Hanukkah and Passover, and I once tried the \"nice Jewish boy\" routine to win a girl's heart.Jerkass Ball:noteYou shouldn't learn that first word, little meWhen I'm frustrated, I often lash out at my friends for no good reason.Prima Donna Director: I have aspirations of being a great film director, and sometimes falls into this.The Scapegoat: There have been a couple of episodes where the entire gang blames me for something I'm not technically responsible for. \"Dude, Where's My Horse?\" is one such episode.Ship Tease: The entire focus of the episode \"TP+KF\" is on hinting at a mutual attraction between me and Kimi.Tragic Mistake: In \"All Broke Up\", my attempt to get my friends off my back about Rachel moving results in them getting Rachel to come back when I already moved on and found a new girl. Really bad move. This ends up causing me to lose Rachel for good."} {"text": "Me as the Metalbending Police ChiefMe in my elderly yearsJdhfisk iduckakrk iskfjfi7=h ififjjxjjd jdh j jsjcl wlldpspw p.

You givea falcon-themed race car driverhis own, you givea sociopathic little boyhis own, you even givean evil talking monkeyhis own, and yet it took you this much time to give me my own Self-Demonstrating page on TV Tropes?!I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!!Sigh. Anyway, introduction time. I'm Toph Beifong, one of the many female characters on the hit animated series,Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you don't know what happens in it, I'll tell you. Ahem...it mainly takes place in a world where most of the people have developed the incredible skill of bending, which enables us to combine our fighting styles and spiritual energy together to control the legendary four elements:water,earth,fire, andair. Together many people and benders alike made nations that fit their respective element. They are, in this order;the Water Tribe,the Earth Kingdom,the Fire Nation, andthe Air Nomads. A long time ago, all four of these nations lived together in peace and harmony. But sadly everything changed for the worse when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, the only one able to master all four of the elements, could take care of them. Unfortunately for all of us, when the world needed him most, he just vanished, and we were just left to be sitting ducks. Because of this, a massive war took all the peace and strangled it like it was just a mere throat in the millions of people that we lost fighting it. The biggest casualty has to have been the Air Nomads, since Fire Lord Sozin launched an attackthat left the Nomads a little worse for the wear.About a hundred years of this war has been going on, and many fear that the Avatar's cycle of reincarnation was broken. But one day, Katara and Sokka, two Water Tribe siblings, found the new Avatar; an airbender, and by extension, the last airbender. The airbender's name is Aang, and while he is an amazing airbender, he has to learn the other elements before he can save the world. Now that you're caught on what the show is about, now it's time to tell you who I am. I'm a young girl who is one of the members of Team Avatar, a group of young heroes that have dedicated their summer, and by extension, their lives, to save the world from the clutches of the evil Fire Nation's rule. I'm Aang's earthbending teacher, as well as the team's only earthbender. Here's a description of who I am in just one little sentence:I am the greatest earthbender in the world!!I know that sounds egocentric at first, but trust me, I can prove it in about a second. Anyway, if you want my life story, you're gonna hafta either watch the show or read on. I'll be honest, I got a lot done with Aang and his friends. I held my own in battle, wriggled my toes in the grass (which might have been fur), heck, I even invented metalbending, which no one in the entire world had done. So yeah, I am an invaluable part of Team Avatar, and if it wasn't for me, Aang would've never learned earthbending, the world would've been doomed, and I wouldn't have had the chance to show the world what I'm made of.Anyway, I'm mainly voiced by the cute babyfaced little girl named Jessie Flower, which kinda contrasts with my rough and tumble exterior. I suggest you read all of this in her voice, since her voice is pretty much mine. Okay okay, Iwould eventually be voicedbyKate HigginsandPhilece Sampler(Rest well in the Spirit World Philece) in the sequel series, if you prefer me being bash as an adult that is. And once you're done, earthbend as far away from here as possible.Your life will be ruined if you don't.And for crying out loud,please forget aboutthe movie. Just watch the show. We all know how much of a trainwreck that was. I'm just glad I wasn't in it.Everything about meAchilles' Heel: ...okay, so maybe I'm very reliant on my\"tremor sense\"to function. Unfortunately, while it's very useful, it's not foolproof, and has a few holes.First off, I can't sense anything if it's in water or in the air. As such, I can't swim and I'm extremely vulnerable to aerial attacks. I guess I should be lucky that there weren't any airbenders besides Aang in the past 100 years, or else I really would've been helpless.Secondly, standing on anything other than solid earth will affect my \"vision,\" making me weaker or helpless depending on circumstances. When I stood on wood, I had to hold Aang's arm while walking.Finally,taking out my footing or injuring my feetwill leave meactually blinduntil I get better.Affirmative Action Girl: I'm the second girl in the second season, so yeah.Agony of the Feet: I can walk barefoot on any surface no problem, but try giving me a foot massage and Iwillthrow you across the room. There's also that time I accidentally stepped on fire, but whowouldn'tthat hurt?Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Well, Girl:Yes,yes,and yes. I'm ablind girlthatmakes it known that I'mthe greatest earthbender in the world whenever I get the chance.And I've got the skills to prove it.I've participated in anundergroundfighting tournament and instantly became its champion, repeatedly got into fights with huge guys with arms larger than I am just tocurbstomp themseconds later, createdmetalbending, and I overall live and breathe this trope. When I found out that the Ember Island Players' play chronicling our adventures was portraying me as a burly man who sees by screaming, I was ecstatic.Badass Adorable: On the outside, you usually see a cute little girl. On the inside, you see one of the strongest earthbenders in the world between Xin Fu, who ran Earth Rumble VI, and King Bumi, who can earthbend with his face.Badass Boast: I called myself \"the greatest earthbender in the world\" after I metalbended out of an inescapable cage. My captors were horrified, and rightfully so.Badass Teacher: Who taught Aang earthbending?Badbutt: I'm a tiny blind girl who acts like a pro wrestler within the bounds of a kid's show.Beyond the Impossible: I inventedmetalbending, something that was stated to be impossible for many earthbenders to do so.The Big Gal: Yes! Well, you don't see it physically, you see it through my personality and my earthbending skills. The Ember Island Players' play made fun of this since an actual big guy played me in the play they made about our adventures.Bizarre Alien Senses: My ability to \"see\" using earthbending counts as this, as the closest thing to it in your world could be snakes or elephant's ability to detect low-frequency sounds through the ground.Black Comedy: I have absolutely no problem using my blindness for a laugh or two or to make a point.Black Magician Girl: I happen to be a twelve-year-old girl andsnarking goddesswho dealsmountainsof damageto villains. I also love dealing out a good offensive smackdown using my earthbending.Blind Mistake:...(sigh)It happened during the Serpent's Pass incident. While I was struggling in the water after the Serpent smashed Katara's ice bridge, I mistook Suki for Sokka after she saved me and kissed her on the cheek. I've been trying to forget about it ever since.While we were looking for Appa, I tried to prove I can put up missing posters of Appa despite my blindness...and I ended up putting one of them upside down, so, yeah, fail.noteSokka:Does anyone wants to tell her she actually glued the poster's content right onto the wall...(Sokka sees the rest of the Gaang run for it)OH COME GUYS! Don't leave me with her!When Sokka tried to challenge Zuko to a sword duel, I held up a poster cheering for Zuko, upside down.The Duke noticed and fixed it.Blind Weaponmaster: I'm a blindearthbendingmaster.Blue Blood: Okay, there only was one upside to my family: they're a well-known family, complete with a family crest. I'm usually not one to brag about it, but my aristocratic background has come in handy on a few occasions.Boisterous Bruiser: \"Yeah! Let's break some rules!\" SMASH!Break the Haughty: I admit I was a bit of aspoiled little piece of workwith amassive sense of entitlementwhen I first joined Aang, Katara, and Sokka. After being told by Zuko's uncle Iroh that good friends help one another out, I started to grow out of it, but it wasn't until I failed to protect Appa from being kidnapped by sandbenders that humility really became an important virtue for me.Bruiser with a Soft Center: I show affection by punching people.Brilliant, but Lazy: When the team needed to infiltrate high society, I said that Aang and Sokka would stick out like sore thumbs. When they pointed out that I was the biggest slob in the group, I fired back that I was alonely girlwhose parentsforced me to act cultured, I justchosenot to.Brutal Honesty: I'm often brutally honest when criticizing others, especially my friends. In fact, I'm very honest about my opinions on others regardless of status (in this case, the Avatar, Aang) or age (in this case, Zuko's uncle, Iroh).Child Prodigy: I'm one of the youngest benders you get to see, yet I'm already one of the most powerful not-the-Avatar earthbenders. Also, I invented metalbending on the fly when I was captured, which was believed to be an impossible skill. And by the time Sozin's Comet came knocking, I'm able to sandbend, despite saying that I hated sand when we were in the desert. Eat your heart out,Anakin Skywalker.Cool Crown: Sometime after Fire Lord Ozai's defeat, I switched out my headband for a green tiara. It reflects my new position as head of the Beifong Metalbending Academy.Curb-Stomp Battle:The second I show up,I deliver one of these to the group of professional earthbenders in Earth Rumble VI.Also, Team Avatar, which includes me, easily decimated the palace guards on our way to find the Earth King.Cute Bruiser: I'm the shortest of all of Team Avatar, yet I manage to dole out the most butt-kicking of all of them.Dig Attack: I can do this: since I \"see\" through vibrations in the ground, I know where the enemy is even underground.Disability Superpower: Although blindness isn't really a requisite for an earthbender to use my method of \"seeing\", it did lead me to focus my senses to an unprecedented degree, allowing me to see things approaching or beneath me in great detail and leading to my invention of metalbending.Deadpan Snarker: Along withDisabled Snarker. Some of the show's best lines are from me, especially when I'm talking trash to my opponents. For instance:Me (to Bumi):Look, Pops, just because you're as old as dirt doesn't mean you know how to bend it.Disabled Snarker: Mostly at Sokka's expense.Dishing Out Dirt: Uh, hello, earthbender?Does Not Like Shoes:I have a reason for that. Because I'm blind, my bare feet are the strongest connection I have to the world. Anything that's not solid ground (or even moderate bandaging) dampens my \"vision\". I made sure to prove it too; whenever I'm asleep, I have my feet out of contact with the ground as the equivalent of\"closing my eyes.\"\u25caDrill Sergeant Nasty: During Aang's earthbending training, I was tough, critical, and I used methods like \"hold still while a large boulder rolls its way towards you\". Eventually I lightened up on him after I butted heads with Katara.Dude Magnet: Well, there was Satoru when we went to that refinery who took an almost-instant liking to me. Then, there's the two guys who fathered my daughters, one's name being Kanto.Evil Laugh: I let out an amazing maniacal laugh when I was acting as the Melon Lord. I loved every single second of it!Extra-ore-dinary: How many times do I have to mention that I invented metalbending?The Face: I'm the youngest member of Team Avatar, and yet I'm the one with the most social savvy, due to being raised by rich socialites. Technically, it should be Aang, since he's the Avatar and not me, but I'm usually the one doing the talking.Foil:I'm sort of this to Mai. Both of us were raised by very fancy families that suppressed them, what with my parents overprotecting me because of my blindness and Mai's parents keeping her well-behaved so she didn't jeopardize her dad's political career. I responded by defying my parents, acting out, and really enjoying my earthbending, whereas Mai obeyed them, becoming very insular and apathetic to almost everything.Sometimes, I'm this to Aang. Our upbringings are quite different, as Monk Gyatso believed in letting Aang be a kid, while my parents forced me to learn tradition and propriety. As a result, I start to wonder if Aang's trying to hold onto his past, while Aang wonders if I'm trying too hard to run away from my past.Friendless Background: Due to being sheltered from the outside world by my EXTREMELY overprotective parents, I never made a friend before meeting Aang, Katara, and Sokka. Me becoming part of Team Avatar was important to me changing for the better. The only friends I had were badgermoles.Forgot the Disability: The rest of the group (especially Sokka) tends to forget about me being blind, leading tomany of my legendary one-liners.Sokka:It's so dark in here, I can't see a thing!Me:Oh no, what a nightmare!Sokka: Sorry.It didn't happen when Sozin's Comet arrived, when Sokka, Suki and I took over a Fire Nation airship:Me:That's agreatidea, let theblind girlsteer the giant airship.Sokka:I was talking to Suki.Me:That...would make a lot more sense.On one adventure it happenedtwice:Sokka:Toph, when I was in town, I found something that you're not gonna like. [holds up wanted poster for Toph]Me:Well, itsoundslike a sheet of paper, but I'm guessing you're referring to what'sonthe sheet of paper.LaterKatara:What's this? [holds up the same poster]Me:Idon'tknow!I meanseriously, what's with you people? I'mblind!Have a look-see already...Oh, wait!The Gadfly: I love to use my blindness to mess with the rest of the group, such as saying that Sokka's poorly drawn picture of Appa looks just like him, or shouting that I've spotted Wan Shi Tong's Library while we were flying on Appa's back.Me:There it is![everyone scans in the direction I'm pointing, and one by one, silently glare at me]Me:... that's what it'll sound like when one of you spots it.[I put on a big, dopey grin and wave one of my hands back and forth over my eyes]Girl of My Dreams: Not that Aang had a crush on me, but he saw me in a vision before ever having met me. When Aang, Katara, and Sokka did run into me a short time later, Aang was positively convinced that I, and no one else, was destined to be his earthbending teacher.And he was absolutely right.Good is Not Nice: I may be just as heroic, brave, and self-sacrificing as any other member of the team, but I'm still a bit of a jerk who rarely opens up to anybody.Handicapped Badass: I'm blind, but I can \"see\" by sensing vibrations with my feet.Has a Type: All of my crushes andlove interestsare decent guys.Hidden Depths: When Katara and I went on a girls' day out, it was made rather clear that for all of my claims of not caring what others think of my looks, I'm actually quite hurt by such rejection.Hot-Blooded: There's areasonwhy the Ember Island Players chose to portray me the way they did.\"I am not Toph! I am MELON LORD!MUAHAHAHA!\" Oh, that feels good!Inferiority Superiority Complex: It's a mild case, and it's kept in the background for the most part. It's most evident during me and Katara's \"girl's day out\" and whenever my feet are shot.Intergenerational Friendship: I kinda have this with Zuko's uncle Iroh, but hey, it'sIroh.Jerkass Has a Point: As rude as I am, I can be right at times:When we were all arguing due to exhaustion, I was the first to point out that Appa's shedding was the reason why Azula and those girls were able to keep following us and thus why we couldn't sleep, but I admit I took it too far by blaming Appa, though that could also be due to being tired. We were all at each other's throats that day.I also called out Aang, Katara, and Sokka on letting their personal experiences with Zuko keep Aang from finding a firebending master quite bluntly, despite me pointing out that he was being sincere to us and he has done some good, like rescuing Appa. That especially was rather astounding, because I never really cared about these things when I met them, but later on, I saw the bigger picture. How's that for being blind?Me:You're all forgetting one crucial fact: Aang needs a firebending teacher! We can't think of a single person in the world to do the job. Now one shows up on a silver platter, and you won't even think about it!? I'm beginning to wonder who's really the blind one around here.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite my tough exterior, I'm not above warming up during intimate moments, as evidenced when I join in group hugs with Team Avatar and hold hands with Aang at the prospect of friendships lasting more than one lifetime.The Lad-ette: The musclebound, belching, spitting hulk that was in the play near the end of the story? That's me on the inside.Large Ham: I'm a rare little girl variant. Play it once more:\"I am not Toph! I am MELON LORD!Muahahaha!\"Lessons in Sophistication: Surprisingly, I can pull this off. I was born into Earth Kingdom High society, so I know how to act like aproper lady, I just choose not to. I'm able to help clean up Katara for a palace party hosted by the Earth King but I don't even attempt with Sokka and Aang. They're that hopeless. Call it rude if you want.Little Miss Badass: I'm only twelve (and so is Aang physically for that matter), but I'm one of the most kick-butt characters in the entire series.Little Miss Con Artist: Yeah, I did this at one point. We all like to call it the Runaway story. When Sokka, Aang, and I went to town for some fun, we decided to get money by exploiting people's notion that since I'm blind I'm no threat. Katara warned us that it would end up blowing up in our face eventually...and she was unfortunately right.Living Lie Detector: I can do this through my seismic sense, although some characters do get away with lying on some occasions. More specifically, I seem to be unable to detect the falsehoods of sociopathic or pathological liars, who can say the most ludicrous or subtle lie without it having any kind of effect on their physiology for me to pick up on at all. Take Azula for example.Logical Weakness: Even with myseismic sense, I do have some weaknesses compared to everyone else in Team Avatar.I'm completely blind if I'm standing on anything that isn't solid earth. If I get lifted off the ground, or walk on ice, or get thrown into water, I can't see.While I did learn how to bend metal, like all the other earthbenders, I can't bend wood. I got a hard reminder of this when Combustion Man paid some people to throw me in a wooden cell. Though I have to wonder how he knew about my skills.I can't do anything that involves actually needing to see with eyes. So writing or putting up posters is an instant fail.Lonely Rich Kid: Yeah, and I dealt with it by joining an underground fighting tournament and mopping the floor with anyone who challenged me.Meaningful Name: My name's this to a certain extent, since it's kanji. In the adventure with the Serpent's Pass, the name on my passport reads \u62d3\u8299 \"supported lotus\", which hardly describes me at all, but matches my parents' view of me being delicate and helpless. Averted in me and Katara's \"Girl's day out\" where the spelling of my name temporarily changed to \u6258\u592b \"entrusted man\", before going back to \u62d3\u8299 when we met the Earth King.Muscles Are Meaningless: In my case, this relates specifically to my earthbending. I'm clearly very strong for my size and age, often hurting my own teammates, no pushovers themselves, with playful punches. However, situations where I don't have it tend to emphasize my helplessness. This is partly because it takes away theDisability Superpowerthat allows me to bypass my blindness, but I never demonstrate superior martial arts skills when not aided by my earthbending.Never Learned to Read: I have a reason for that. I'm blind in a worldwithout what you readers call \"Braille\". As such,Sokka's plan to forge a letter from me to help me reconcile with Katara falls flat. I don't know what he was thinking. And he's supposed to bethe brains of Team Avatar!Never Mess with Granny: I eventually have grandkids around the time of Korra and I'm still a force to be reckoned with.The Nicknamer: I call Aang \"Twinkle Toes\", as he'sverylight on his feet, with his being an airbender and all (well, compared to the powerful, deliberate stomps of a master earthbender like me, anyway).No Hero to His Valet: One of my defining characteristics is that I don't give Aang special treatment even though he's the Avatar. He may be the student, but I treat him like an equal and friend, to the point where I never fail to vocally criticize Aang to his face when I think it's needed.Not Hyperbole: When I say that I'm the greatest earthbender in the world, you better believe I can back that up. I'm the girl who duelled King Bumi, who literally had a hundred years of experience on him, and can earthbend with his face, and I fought him to a draw! At age 12! Even earlier, I figured out how to turn over a major weakness of earthbending by figuring outmetalbending, which no one in history had done before.When the new Avatar, Korra, took over,this claimstillapplies. Even when there's earthbenders like Lin, Ghazan, and Kuvira.Obfuscating Disability: While my eyes honestly do not work, I occasionally hide my earthbending-linked tremor sense to play up the appearance of a helpless blind little girl. Again, remember the Runaway story.Odd Friendship: Well, like everyone else, I met some rather unusual people, but we're all good friends nevertheless.Overly Narrow Superlative: In the North and South fiasco, I proudly called the Beifong Metalbending Academy as \"the most prestigious metalbending school in the world\". One of the lily-liver\u2014my students pointed out we're pretty much theonlymetalbending school but I saw it as kind of the point since we do something that used to be considered impossible until I learned how to do it.The Pig-Pen: I'm a mild case. Even though I avoid almost all and any personal hygiene, especially where my feet are concerned, I don't look it unless someone else sees it. I also mention that Ipick my nose a lot...and my toes. Twice. It felt great, ok?Parents as People: Okay, somaybeI wasn't the best mother to either of my daughters, but what would you expect from someone whose own parents tried to keep her sheltered her whole life because she just so happened to be blind?(sigh)Maybe I should've done the exact opposite of what my parents did, but nothing I say can justify not being a good enough parent. Hopefully, Zuko's doing better in the parenting position than I am.Pint-Sized Powerhouse:I'm absolutely tiny being a little over 4 feet tall, but my only non-Avatar rival in earthbending is King Bumi.And it's not like I lost that status when you first saw old me. Ha ha ha. Can't always be standing up at that age.Power Levels: Personally, I consider myself the strongest bender in the group, though obviously I'm not counting Aang when he enters the Avatar State, and when you think about it, we're all pretty strong benders.Rebellious Princess: I'm not actually royalty, but close enough. I rebelled against my parents because of how they stifled my freedom due to their overprotectiveness.Recruited from the Gutter: It'skinda flip-flopped.Yours truly, thespoiled little rich girl, was recruited by the pacifistic monk and his two near-penniless sidekicks. However, I very much liveas ifI'm in the gutter, pretty much because I wasn't able to.Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'm the snarky, blunt red to Katara's demure, caring blue.Reflectionless Useless Eyes: I have these to show I'm blind.Sad Clown:I, next to Zuko, when all is said and done, have more baggage than a cargo ship: I was always treated as a fragile thing by my parents, ran away from home after they said they'd be even more strict about protecting me (even after I showed first-hand that I was already one of the best earthbenders in the world at TWELVE), is legitimately torn over how I must have broken my parents' hearts and made them worry as a result, felt responsible for Appa having been kidnapped, and was actually terribly insecure about my blindness (despite acting like it's a non-issue normally). Outwardly, I seem like a total snark-bender who doesn't really care about anything, save for my friends.Sadistic Choice: I was forced to choose between saving Appa from Sandbenders or saving the rest of the Gaang from a building that was being pulled into the Spirit World. I tried toTake a Third Option, but I wasn't to see very well due to the sand being very fuzzy. I wasn't very good at sandbending at the time, OK?Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: As a member of a powerful merchant family, I flashed my gold-bordered passport and made up something about \"valets\" and a \"seeing-eye lemur\" to get entry passes to Ba Sing Se for myself and the rest of the group from a humorless border official. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well when I later tried to bluff my way into the Earth King's party without invitations. All the damage we did beforehand didn't help either.Sent Into Hiding: I was this until meeting Aang. My overprotective parents kept me locked inside the grounds of their home (although I was able to sneak out to work as the Blind Bandit).She Cleans Up Nicely: Almost immediately you see the rough wrestler become a well-dressed lady when you first see me.Sheltered Aristocrat: I was raised to be this due to my blindness, but over the years I became much less sheltered thanks to figuring out how to leave the grounds in secret and learning how to earthbend.Single Woman Seeks Good Man: All of my love interests happened to benice guys.I did have a huge crush onSokka. If it wasn't for him currently dating Suki, after Ozai went down and the war was over, I'd have probably kissed him until our lungs gave out.That adventure at the Refinery had me show a bit of interest in Satoru, who considers me his hero; needless to say, his praising of me pretty much broke the mold.When Korra came to town, I revealed the identity Lin's father \u2014 Kanto, who I deemed a \"nice man\", but our relationship didn't work out for reasons unknown.Sour Supporter: Sometimes. I often vocally express my doubt about our game plans, but I will help my buddies out no matter what.Street Smart: That's part of why I'm theTeam Faceand not Aang, even though he's the Avatar: I know how to take advantage of street situations. And it's more than just the street. At the custom official and for the Earth King's party I was the one doing almost all the talking.Tailor-Made Prison: When I got trapped in a steel cage, Xin Fu was convinced that I couldn't escape because I wasn't able to bend metal. Turns out that it did help me, and Imade metalbending happen.However, when I was put in a wooden cell, this time I really couldn't escape on my own, since wood isn't a bendable substance. Maybe one day, plantbending will become a thing.Tiny Tyrannical Girl: To quote this \"Dr. Eggman\" guy, \"I've always enjoyed telling people what to do.\"noteDr. Eggman:Ah, that's the spirit! (Licensing fees, please.)Me:Sure... I'll pay you if you... look there!Dr. Eggman:Huh?(he sees that I already escaped from him via earthbending)Dr. Eggman: I HATE THAT EARTHBENDING SCAMMER!Tomboy and Girly Girl: Katara's a full-blownbutt-kicker like me, but her role as thesurrogate momand hermeans of fighting tacticsmeant that she often clashed with my morelaid-back, \"I'm just one of the other burly men\" ways.Tomboy with a Girly Streak: I kick butt and don't take nothing from nobody, but I do know high society manners and I actually enjoyed my spa day with Katara. Well, except for the feet part.Took a Level in Badass: I was already a Master earthbender when Aang met me. I could take on most any earthbender, save Bumi, and win easily. How do I become even more awesome? By developing metalbending, something no one in the history of the world had done before.And yes,in the future, I simply kicked Korra's butt without needing to use any hand motions. And don't think airbending is going to fool me anymore. I can easily dodge those air blasts.Tsundere: I show affection for someone by punching their arm. I'm usually at my softest around Sokka but only at certain times, like I missed him but I didn't wanna admit it. Wait...oh, come on!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:I was once paired upagainst that emo sandbender namedGaara.I won, for none shall ever challenge the Greatest Earthbender in the world and live to tell the tale!Mwahahahahahaha!noteBoomstick: No. Actually, you should have lost Toph.Me:What? Don't be silly. He can't touch me at all.Boomstick: He actually could after we found out about his skills. You were actually too slow to make use of your seismic sense to make up for the speed difference.Waif-Fu: Uh, not really. It does look like I have superhuman physical strength, but I'm really just using earthbending to lift things around me. When using only my own physical strength I'm actually quite weak, as shown when trying to lift a large metal mallet. I still pulled it off though.The Watson: It's not so much in personality - I actually tend to be the most knowledgeable of our gang (well, next to Aang, who has a hundred years of knowledge behind him, and Sokka, who'sthe brainsof our scrappy little group), who are allcountry mice- but my blindness means other characters will read stuff (all in Chinese or Japanese characters)out loudto me, and thus, you guys.\"Well Done, Daughter!\" Girl: I have a case of this, though unlike Zuko, it's more of trying to get my father to accept me for who I am as opposed to trying to please him.The Worf Effect:My tremor-sense isn't limited to what's in front of me, goes right through cover, and has a range of over a hundred meters, so as long as I'm part of the Gaang,no-one cansneak up on us.I pulled this off fortwenty-six days,(in fact it's how we found the Western Air Temple) but theinstantI got myfeet burnt, Combustion Man showed up and started blowing everything to rubble.When we went to Wan Shi Tong's library, the desert sand puts me at a relative disadvantage, as the looseness of it messes with the vibrations in the ground and blurs my vision. This ends up contributing to myfailure to protect Appa from being caught by the sandbenders. I was already struggling to defend Appa because I also had to concentrate on keeping the library from sinking into the ground, but even when I tried to attack the sandbenders, my aim was slightly off due to the shiftiness of the sand. Eventually, I realized I had to cut my losses and put all of my effort into holding up the library, sadly allowing for Appa's capture.I've hated looking back on that ever since, and now that my sandbending has improved since, history will most certainly not be repeating itself!Yamato Nadeshiko: I can fake it perfectly, as when I show up in a white dress in my parents' home - except I really, really,reallydon't like it. Before leaving home I moonlight that as a pro wrestler, and once I'm free of my parents' supervision and can act the way I want to, I prove to be very crude, aggressive, and unladylike indeed. Remind me why exactly you were glad that there was another girl in the group, Katara?You Called Me \"X\"; It Must Be Serious:In more serious moments, I don't use nicknames.Younger Mentor, Older Disciple: I'm the youngest out of all the people to teach Aang earthbending, although he's technically older than most of his mentors anyway. However, I one-up them by being younger than Aang physically too. (He's technically 112.)I guess that would be all so...(earthbends the viewer away)"} {"text": "Linda Cardellini,Hayley Kiyoko, Sarah Gilman,Gina Rodriguez, orMindy Kaling.)-THUD!-Oof ow! Darn it my glasses. Where are my glasses? I can't see without them! Where did they go? No, not there, not...oh there we go.(Puts them on)Oh, Jinkies! Sorry, didn't see you there, I seemed to have stumbled into some weird room of encyclopedia knowledge apparently. Hmm, \u201cself-demonstrating\u201d? An odd turn of title, I guess this place wants me to talk about myself? Well, I suppose I have time, even though I was in the middle of a mystery. But we're at the point where putting a plan into motion and my friends are luring the monster and... oh I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the top.Salutations, my name is Velma Dinkley and I'm part of a group known as Mystery Incorporated, though sometimes known as the Scooby Gang too named after our Great Dane mascot Scooby-Doo. The rest of our group comprises of our fearless leader Fred Jones, fashion-centric and often danger-prone Daphne Blake and our lovable coward second to Scooby, who also just happens to be his owner, Shaggy Rogers. Together we go roaming around supposedly \u201chaunted\u201d areas that are scaring the locals. But more often than not it's usually some criminal in a costume having taken advantage of a local legend or acting as a specter to keep people away for so reason, usually involving money. That's where our group comes in: we go into the area, look for clues and eventually trap the monster and unmask who it really is. My role is essentially to piece things together to pinpoint the culprit and the motive so that when the time comes when they're caught, I can explain who they are and why they did it. And gotta say it's immensely gratifying to do it too, save the times when it was some other matters I didn't know about but that was neither here nor there. Ehehe... heh. -Ahem- oh I likewise sometimes have to keep Shaggy and Scooby on task, usually with Scooby Snacks as bribes since the two won't work up the nerve to lure out the monsters. I do feel a little guilty putting them as bait like that, but it works with our dynamic, and, being blunt here, the two are surprisingly good at attracting them.We've been doing this for a long while, like since early elementary, at least I think so, or was it high school? Things tend to get murky when it comes to the history of how our gang was formed. Jinkies, It honestly feels like we've been doing this since the 60s era, or was it the 90s? 2000s? Well, one of ourprevious outings ended up with the time-space continuum hitting a reset, so honestly who knows? The most logical thing I can make of this is that I and the gang are still doing our mystery-solving and don't intend to stop anytime soon no matter what universal retcon hits us.Hmm? Jinkies, what's this? A list of my attributes, or \u201ctropes\u201d? Well, then let's see...Arbitrary Skepticism: I tend to flip-flop depending on the iteration. Sure I favor the logical point of the cases my friends and me get into, but sometimes we do tend to run into the supernatural. In early times I was more inclined to believe the fantastical things I see with my eyes. But in recent eras, I tend to dismiss things because it's just too out there to be believed. Heck at one point I out and out retconned an adventure I had about zombies I had previously, blaming it on \"swamp gas\".(Throws up her hands defensively)Hey I said it depended on the iteration, they're not all well explained. I just work with what's presented to me.Berserk Button: Well harming my friends obviously, but likewise insulting my intelligence or not having all the facts to a mystery when it reaches its conclusion and the case just solves itself. Likewise medieval dresses in two iterations, apparently cause I'm not a big fan of cos-playing anything from that era (something about being called a \"wench\"). I was forced into it in one iteration because the case was in a medieval fair and the owner wouldn't let us pass if I didn't get into it. The things I do for this profession.Beware the Nice Ones: Again I'm not one for fighting, but if my friends are in trouble, you can be sure I won't be afraid to jump in and help them. Likewise don't insult my intelligence. Even we nerds have our breaking points and I assure you, it's not pretty if we get provoked.Blind Without 'Em: Oh yes, much as I'm embarrassed to admit it, I'm very far-sighted. Can't see a thing when the glasses come off. Not exactly good when monsters lurk about but luckily they tend to trip over me when that happens. I really should consider laser eye surgery.Brainwashed and Crazy: Well sometimes, most egregiously there was that incident in Transylvania, Pennsylvania (Yes, really) where some old foes of ours tried to get back at us for stopping them. Hypnotizing me into some crazy Frankenstein-Esque scientist that nearly tried to experiment on Shaggy and Scooby. Dolling me up in this gown and even dying my hair. Crazy huh? Luckily I was snapped out of it but man did they have it out for me.Catchphrase:I know I've been saying it frequently on this page, but just to reiterate: \"Jinkies!\" I started saying that when I was young, to let the gang know I found clues. I guess it's stuck since then.Also, whenever I lose my glasses, I will almost always say, \"My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!\"Darker and Edgier: What? Dark? Me? Really?Hmm it seems therewas a comic bookwhere an apocalypse ravaged the world and we had to band together to survive. And... oh dearI was the cause of it! Jinkies!This is a little unnerving, l-let's just move on.Oh dear seems there's likewise a show where I'm the main lead and...Is...is that brains coming out of a woman's head?E-Excuse me...(She goes offscreen and we can hear retching sounds)Jinkies, that was so disgusting... I'm glad Scooby isn't in this one... Let's move on...Deadpan Snarker: What can I say? When you're dealing with cowards and criminals you tend to snark a lot.Dork in a Sweater: Well the \u201cdork\u201d is a bit uncalled for (seriously they had to use my picture for this too?). But yes, many would know me from my iconic trademark orange sweater. It's essentially the one thing a lot of iterations never really change.Dramatic Unmask: Something Fred and me tend to take turns doing when the culprit is caught. Gotta really emphasize their crimes after all. Plus it's fun!Endearingly Dorky: Jinkies, I mean maybe. I usually try to keep a sense of professionalism for our cases, but even I have my, as most would say, \"geek outs\" if we go to something I like, like exhibits, meeting famous authors, or hockey!... What? Other interests outside the norm are perfectly healthy. Besides don't knock it till you try it.Friend Versus Lover: Hmmone of my iterations had this with Shaggy, we were dating but Scooby got jealous because of the attention I was taking away from his bud. After some tension, Shaggy...-sigh- ...ultimately chose Scooby over me and we decided to beJust Friends. Don't worry I'm over it now and it's for the best for our group. But it does still sting a bit.Hollywood Homely: I guess I'm what you call \u201cfrumpy\u201d or \u201cmousy\u201d or just one of those types that don't like putting myself out there. Knowledge has always been my passion after all.Insufferable Genius: Wha... HEY! Okay so I tend to flaunt my smarts a bit and...maybe get a bit cross if someone outsmarts me or a mystery doesn't pan out the way I thought it would, andmaybeI work a little too much on the logical side of things that I dismiss some supernatural elements. But I wouldn't call it insufferable. There's no crime in displaying one's intellect...until it is and I help stop it of course.Out of Focus: I was surprisingly sidelined during the late 70s/early 80s era since Shaggy and Scooby had more popularity at the time along with Scooby's nephew Scrappy (And before you say anything, no I don't have an opinion on him. I didn't hang out enough to really gauge him. Daphne would know more since she was privy to their adventures at the time. Fred apparently doesn't like to talk about it so eh. Apparentlymy movie iterationhad some experience with him but I likewise heard that wasa major exaggeration too. Again no opinion). Likewise, there was that time in the 2000swhen Shaggy and Scooby inherited their uncle's house and had to fight a supervillain?Again I was barely there for that but helped when they needed me.Playing Against Type: Would you believe at one pointIplayed the monster in a mystery?It was a mummy in this case and to help out a historical restoration group I was with to catch some grave robbers. I was surprised by how much of a fight my friends put up to \u201cstop\u201d me after they found out I was \u201cturned to stone\u201d. Both impressive and rather sweet, really.Race Lift: Most versions of me are Caucasian, with three exceptions. One version from our live-action origins is portrayed by the half-Japanese and half-CaucasianHayley Kiyoko, another from our computer-generated films is Latina, and another version from mymy self-titled seriesis South Asian.Science Hero: Some iterations paint me as being a wiz at tech and chemicals. It does come in handy when dealing with culprits.She Cleans Up Nicely: Oh hehe well, I really don't take stock of my appearance but I've been told I look cute when I wear some other getup like evening dresses or change up my hair a bit.The Smart Guy: Most definitely, as I said, I'm the one who usually pieces together the clues and the culprits' motives. I'm also not bad with puzzles and tech.Tomboy and Girly Girl: Apparently a dynamic I share with Daphne. Granted I don't really see myself as a tomboy but between the two of us, she tends to be the more fashion-minded of the two while some iterations have me like things like hockey and motorsports.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: One iteration had me terrified of clowns due to some jerk party clown shredding some encyclopedia I had gotten for my birthday when I was a kid (Apparently trying to help me since he thought I got a \u201cboring\u201d gift). So much so Shaggy and meswitched roleswith me being the coward while he was the brave one (Something about the clown monster interfering with his mini-golf game. That was one of our weirder mysteries).(Hears a ruckus in the background and cries of \u201cHelp/Relp!\u201d)Jinkies! That's my cue! Was nice talking with you all. If you ever need any \u201cmeddling kids\u201d, don't be afraid to give us a ring! If it has a mask and a motive, you can be sure Velma Dinkley will crack and uncover it!"} {"text": "(Wazzzpinator say read likeScott McNeil, orTom Kenny!)Wazzzpinator rules!(CR chambers opens, revealing Waspinator)Ohhh.

FRESH HORSES!!\"On a still day, how far away can one hear Brian Blessed?\"\u2014 Hugh Dennis,Mock the Week,(If This Is The Answer What Is The Question: \"85,000 miles\")\"HELLO, I'M BRIAN BLESSED!

However, he is by nature a stage actor, and his hamming is by design, not by ineptitude or accident. As he has proven on (very) occasional films, he is actually capable of delivering a subtle and understated performance; he just usually doesn't bother (and he is quite aware of why people hire him). His crowning moment of hamness is theBlake's 7episode \"Cygnus Alpha\" in which just about every line he speaks could be replaced with \"Did somebody order aLARGE HAM?\". He keeps in shape by climbing up large mountains. About the only thing on Earth larger than BRIAN BLESSED is Mount Everest, which he has attempted to scale three times without quite reaching the summit each time. Indeed, he has a story about narrowly avoiding an avalanche on Everest which caused him to, quote, \"rage at the mountain\". Yes, BRAIN BLESSED bellowed Mt Everest itself into submission.He served up not one, buttwolarge portions inSpace: 1999; the first as Dr. Cabot Rowland in first season episode \"Death's Other Dominion\", the second as Maya's father Mentor in second season opener \"The Metamorph\". In real life his favorite food is cows, which he eats whole and in one gulp.Was also in the first season ofBlackadderas King Richard IV (\"Chiswick! Fresh horses!\"). Was far less hammy as the ghost in fellow large hamKenneth Branagh'sHamlet(he even managed towhisperloudly) and Signore Antonio in Branagh'sMuch Ado About Nothing (1993). Also, the Duke of Exeter in Branagh'sHenry V. (\"What treasure, Uncle?\" \"Tennis balls, my liege!\") Surprisingly, Keanu Reeves claimed in an interview on British radio that during filming ofMuch Ado About Nothing (1993), Blessed befriended him and taught him to meditate. Moviegoers who are sympathetic to Reeves might have thought it more likelyif it was the other way around. Blessed might just becalmer than he looks.IT IS SAID BY SOME THAT THE CHARACTER OF DESTRUCTION (A SENTIENT PERSONIFICATION OF DIFFICULT CHANGES WHO HAS QUIT HIS JOB TO BECOME AN ARTIST) FROMTHE SANDMANIS BASED ON HIM.

Lee Ermey to you, maggot!I am Gunnery Sergeant Ermey, your Senior Trope Instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be \"Sir\", do you tropers understand that?Sir, yes sir!Bullshit, I can't hear you, sound off like you've got a pair.SIR, YES SIR!I was born on March 24, 1944, towards the end of World War II\u2013and for those of you who thought it was easy to save the world back in 1918, World War I was just practice!\u2013and served in the United States Marine Corps as a drill instructor in 'Nam, which was just practice for yelling at you for being the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the Goddamned common courtesy to give him a reach-around! As an actor, I got my big break playing the type of character I was famous for being in real life, when you were just a glimmer in your mother's eye, inStanley Kubrick'sFull Metal Jacket. Compared to me, my character was a sadistic and foul-mouthed son-of-a-bitch whose training methods ended with one maggot driven insane and the son-of-a-bitch dead at the hands of the same fucking maggot! And in case you were wondering, many of my lines were unscripted, and you have Kubrick himself to thank for it\u2013especiallysince he doesn't normally allow his talent to improvise as though they were on theReduced Shakespearecomedy circuit!And thanks to my performance, I am now the poster child forDrill Sergeant Nasty\u2013and don't you fucking forget it, numbnuts!\u2013and landed myself roles in other movies, as well as a slew of voice-over work\u2013my distinct gruff voice makes me ideal for hardass military types, and don't you dare call me aRegular Army Clownfor it, I'm dead serious!\u2013and ultimately a hosting job for severalHistory Channelprograms about the military, includingMail CallandLock n' Load\u2013history programs as only a drill sergeant could do them. I was alsoHouse's father, an abusive ex-drill sergeant! I'll bet he could suck a golf ball through a garden hose while on the job!And in case you were wondering, maggot, I retired as aStaffSergeant. However, in 2002, I was given an honorary promotion post-retirement\u2013the first in Marine Corps history, mind you!\u2013to Gunnery Sergeant by order of the Commandant of the Marine Corps \"in recognition of [my] continuing support to Americans in military service, and of [my] service as an unofficial ambassador for the Marine Corps.\"I may have died on April 15, 2018 from complications from pneumonia, but that's no excuse! What part of \"once a Marine, always a Marine\" is not registering here? Even now, I'm still one of the baddest men to ever grace the silver screen, and don't you ever forget it!You got all that down? What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Did you not bring a pen, pencil or paper with you? Were you hoping you'd remember everything I've said up to this point? Well, I certainly hope your major malfunction isn't as a result of someone gouging out your eyeballs and skullfucking you in the brain, because you're going to need a very good brain, you twinkle-toed cocksucker!Preseeeent... TROPES! Associated with me!Adam Westing: Do you think I'm funny? How about when I parodied myself onSaving Silverman? Or that toned-down, yet still fucking nasty, portrait of the former drill sergeant as a therapist that I did for Geico?Ascended Extra: You may be too shitbrained to know this, but I wasn't Stanley Kubrick's first choice for the role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman inFull Metal Jacket\u2013in fact, his reason for wanting me on board was accuracy advice. But then I did a demonstration on how to portray aDrill Sergeant Nasty, chewing out the camera for fifteen straight minutes, through a hail of tennis balls and fucking rotten oranges, never once moving, changing my expression, or repeating myself. I ended up getting the part by yelling at Kubrick, \"YOU STAND UP WHEN I TALK TO YOU!!!\" Kubrick\u2014a shitstain who'sused to getting his whims served up on a silver platter\u2014found himself doing so automatically, and the rest is history!Badass Biker: As I proved onLock n' Load, even on the back of my bike I'm damn good with guns, and you damn well had better remember it!Big Ol' EyebrowsCast the Expert: Like I said earlier, I was so fucking good at being aDrill Sergeant NastyI got my most famous film role by showing Stanley Kubrick how it's done and not letting either of my balls drop off even as I faced both Tennis Ball HellandRotten Orange Hell at the same fucking time! Even before I dealt with that limp-wristed sissymary, I was already using my military experience to perform in movies likeThe Boys in Company CandApocalypse Now.Defictionalization: 15 fucking years of awkwardness followed my iconic performance as a Gunnery Sergeant (E-7), because I had retired as a Staff Sergeant (E-6), and yet thanks to said iconic role people mistook me for an actual Gunnery Sergeant! Then the Marine Corps graciously promoted me to Gunnery Sergeant for my continued service promoting the Corps and its values. After I had already retired! That means they made me the first Marine in history to be promoted post-service!Because you're goddamn RIGHT they did!Determinator: I got knocked off the road once, but not out! I flashed my light for hours hoping someone would find me, and someone did!Drill Sergeant Nasty: I am the undisputed master of this type, and have even been typecast in such roles on film and television! And don't you fucking forget it, sweetheart, or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!Fountain of Expies: Like I said before, I amthewalking, talking example of what popular culture assumes aDrill Sergeant Nastyis! That's why lots of other TV shows and movies pattern their drill sergeant characters after me. I'll admit those writers and producers have good taste, butnobody, and I meannobody, can pull off the drill sergeant character as well as I do! You got that, numbnuts?!?Large Ham: What do you expect whenTypecastinglends to theDrill Sergeant Nastyrole nine times out of ten? You don't get good at that job by sitting back and being subtle, maggot! Think I'm kidding? Count the number of exclamation points on this page!Mean Character, Nice Actor: When I'm not in \"Marine Mode\", I'm just a big ol' teddy bear... Too bad all YOU pukes are gonna get IS the Marine! Now drop and give me twenty, maggot!No Indoor Voice: You think you can be one of the baddest men in all of cinema and be QUIET, maggot?! Of fucking course not!Semper Fi: Once a Marine, always a Marine, maggot! I cut my teeth in Vietnam, so I know what the fuck I'm talking about here! Hell, I was the first Marine in history to be promoted after retirement! (The only other such person you might know of is Captain Sir Thomas Moore from across the pond, promoted to Colonel on his 100th birthday for doing his part in the fight against COVID-19!) Do you know what kind of badass gets promoted after he leaves the job? Because I sure as shit do\u2014there's a damn good reason my ashes are buried at Arlington!Shout-Out:Full Metal Panic!, in addition to being named forFull Metal Jacket, includes an episode where the protagonist takes up aDrill Sergeant Nastypersona when coaching a rugby team; in the English version, he even does a spot-on impersonation\u2013minus the voice, of course\u2013that would've made me proud! He's no maggot, but I'll bet that chickenshit bleep censor operator had a good time trying to be funny by censoring his sailor mouth!Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!did the same, but adapted my words forMagical Girltraining! Just listen to this disgustingly sweet take on my words, and you maggots will not soon forget that every language, both literal (e.g. English and Japanese) and figurative (e.g. the language of love), has its own way of getting my message through to the local unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit!\"If you are able to overcome my intensive training, your entire demeanor will become that of aMagical Girl. You will become afriend to all,sprinkling loveand smileswith amagical stickin your hand. But until that day you are amob character. You are theleast important characterin the cast.\"[...]\"Do not speak unless spoken to! You will say 'hanyaan' at the beginnings and ends of the nonsense spewed from that bloody tongue!\"Is this aJapanese English phrase book\u25ca? Whatever it is, it features a cute Army girl whose dialogue consists of nothing but uncensoredFull Metal Jacketcharacter quotes. And I certainly hope her sister is older thanshelooks, let alone that she knows what the fuck she's saying!I rike you.Come ova to my house and fuck my shista.For more anime fun with me, check out those cut-away pictures of myFull Metal Jacketcharacter that appear inPani Poni Dash!! No detail spared! The animators are clearly qualified to draw my likeness, and I do not want you for even one miserable second to doubt it!The guys writingGreen Lanternhave even paid tribute to me with a Green Lantern Drill Instructor character who is me if I was any softer at my job!They even quote me inStarcraft\u2013bother the driver of theSiege Tankenough, and he'll ask,\"What is your major malfunction?\"Throw It In: I was actually lucky to be allowed to adlib a good portion of my lines inFull Metal Jacket, considering that Stanley Kubrick was behind the camera.I'LL BET YOU'RE THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD FUCK A PERSON IN THE ASSAND NOT EVEN HAVE THE GOD-DAMNED COMMON COURTESY TO GIVE HIM A REACH-AROUND!!At one point, though, we took a break so I could explain what a \"reach around\" was to Kubrick. He asked, I delivered, and he laughed his ass off! That's how that line got in the final cut!Trope Codifier: If there's aDrill Sergeant Nastycharacter in your work, numbnuts, and I'm not him, chances are he was inspired by me!Typecasting: If I'm not a Drill Instructor in a motion picture, it's Goddamned likely my character acts like one!Younger Than They Look: I was only 42 at the time I worked my military magic onFull Metal Jacket. 20 years and one Geico commercial later... I still look the fucking same, and don't you deny it, sweetheart!Next! List the tropes associated with my shows! Quickly!Bullet Time: What the fuck did you expect when you saw all those guns onLock n' Load?The Cameo: On the Artillery episode ofLock and Load, the hwacha, an ancient Korean multiple rocket launcher, is mentioned and shown being fired. It's the exact same one that theMythBustersBuild Team constructed, as shown by the mismatched wheels, but they don't deserve credit in my book, because they are pukes! They are the lowest life forms on Earth! They are not even human fucking beings\u2013they are unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit!Does Not Like Spam:InMail Call, I apparently make it fucking clear that watermelons are my \"sworn enemy\", and are good only for target practice, both thereandinLock n' Load. However, as I once said, some people think I don't like watermelons. Well, that's not true - I just believe you gotta kill it before you eat it. Honestly, I have nothing against watermelons! It's just that heads are so much more expensive. Of course, I did tell Private Snowball that he wouldn't like that (in addition to fried chicken) watermelon isn't served on a daily basis in my mess hall.I HATE Gumballs, they cause tooth decay!!Gumballs are good only for being shot up! I drove that point home with an uzi to several jars of them! Remember, kiddies: GUMBALLS ROT YOUR TEETH.Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: Yeah, I got one, numbnuts, and it's calledMail Call.Hand Cannon: There was oneLock and Loadepisode where I fired a .44 Magnum and got knocked down in the process. I'll admit that my Goddamned awkward crouched position that I was in didn't help my case, as it put me off balance and knocked me over. In another episode, I used a .44 Magnum in a test, despite that caliber not being around when the feature I was testing was invented.I used it just because I like it better, and don't you fucking forget it!More Dakka: Look,Lock And Loadis aboutfirearms. What the fuck do you expect? This isespeciallytrue when I do episodes on machine guns, including the one and only, genuine, original hand-cranked Gatling gun!Pin-Pulling Teeth: In one episode ofMail Call, I noted how doing this is a good way to lose your fucking teeth. Your teeth can't handle it? Don't use them to pull the pin unless you got a tooth that REALLY needs to be removed! But as I'm no dentist, I'm afraid I can't help you there, numbnuts!\"Semper Fi.\"(salutes)Carry on."} {"text": "The name'sh Bond...
