The Heavy

Mikhail, also known as The Heavy, Heavy Weapons Guy and Misha, is one of the main characters from the Team Fortress 2 series.

The Heavy is a mercenary from the Soviet Union.
Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes that you would just shut up before he has to make you shut up. Despite that, he does appears to be friendly at times.
Boasting the most default health and devastating firepower from his trusty Minigun, the Heavy is no pushover. The Heavy's Minigun can inflict heavy damage at a high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing babies, cowards, and teeny-men in seconds. The Heavy's movement speed is his main weakness. Upon revving up or firing his Minigun, his already unimpressive speed drops down to an even lower amount, making him a very easy target for Snipers and Spies. His slow speed makes him more dependent on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him in the fight. Aside from decimating entire teams, the Heavy is able to provide further support for his comrades with an often required health boost via his Sandvich, which, when consumed, is capable of healing him to full health. It can also be dropped to provide an instant 50% health boost to his teammates, systematically equal to a Medium Health kit. However, if the Heavy isn't careful, an enemy may pick up the dropped Sandvich for a health boost of their own.

== Trivia ==
* The Heavy's real name is Misha which is short for Mikhail.
** In Team Fortress's comic Cold Day In Hell, the Heavy has been called Misha by his 3 sisters, hinting this may be his real name (Note: Misha is short for Mikhail).
** The Heavy has three younger sisters and a mother (his father was killed).
** In Team Fortress's comic Old Wounds, the Heavy has been called Mikhail by Spy.
* As seen is the comic "The Showdown", the Heavy has named all of his primary weapons, basic Minigun being Sasha, Tomislav being Svetlana, Brass Beast being Oksana and Huo Long Heater being Sheila
* In the comics, the Heavy seems to be more intelligent and less careless than he is in the game
* The Heavy is the tallest class in the game standing at 6'5 (196 cm) and also the largest.
* The Heavy is commonly known to gamers as the "face" of Team Fortress 2, as he was the first character to have a "Meet the Team" video and his avatar is much bigger than everyone else's on the box art for the game.
* The Heavy is also one of the guest stars in the Telltale game, Poker Night at The Inventory. By defeating him, you will receive a Minigun reskin, Iron Curtain.
* A Team Fortress 2 the Heavy that uses his Shotgun often is called a "Fat Scout". This is because The Scout's primary weapon is the Scattergun, which is identical to the Shotgun except for a 25% higher damage-ramp-up. The "Fat" part is as reference to the Heavy, as he is slow and large.
* In Team Fortress Classic, the Heavy wears a bandana, similar to the Heavy Duty Rag from Team Fortress 2.
* The Heavy mentions that his minigun weighs "150 kilograms". This shows the strength the Heavy possesses in his upper body and why he primarily uses his fists as his melee weapon.
* The Heavy is either very wealthy or well supplied on ammo as in his short introduction, Meet the Heavy, the Heavy says that "it costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds...".
* The Heavy has a PhD in Russian Literature.
* In Meet the Heavy, the Heavy didn't use either his secondary or melee. Characters who didn't use their default loadouts are the Sniper, Engineer and the Pyro.
* There has been many Heavy groups in the past but the Heavy Warriors reached it peak of 2,000 in January 10, 2018.
