Hopper (A Bug's Life)

==Summary==
Hopper is a grasshopper who serves as the main antagonist of the 1998 film A Bug's Life. He leads a gang of grasshoppers, whom he uses to force the ants of Flik's colony to gather food for him. When the ants failed to give him enough food, Hopper forcibly usurped the colony with plans to squish the queen and take control of the colony himself. Thanks to the efforts of Flik and the Circus Bugs, Flik eventually led Hopper to a bird's nest, where Hopper would soon meet his demise in the beak of a bird.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Hopper
Origin: A Bug's Life
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown; mature for a grasshopper
Classification: Grasshopper, Dictator
Powers and Abilities: Small Size (Type 2), Flight, Enhanced Senses (Despite having been blinded in one eye, Hopper behaves as if his sight was never hindered to begin with. Can smell people with his antennae), Social Influencing, Additional Limbs (Has four arms), Bodily Weaponry (Has sharp claws on his hands and feet, and possess sharp spike on the back of his limbs), Regeneration (Unknown Type. In the film, Grasshoppers are shown to be able to molt their skin), Resistance to Bone Manipulation (Grasshoppers don't have bones.)
Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (One-shot a grasshopper;A Bug's Life (1998) would've killed his brother, Molt, had he not promised his deceased mother not to, had strangled and throttled Manny, a praying mantis)
Speed: Below Average Human (As a grasshopper, Hopper should be capable of flying up to 8 miles per hour; briefly kept pace with a hopping bird before it ultimately grabbed him); Average Human to Peak Human reflexes (Capable of weaving around raindrops despite being completely focused on Flik during the chase. Raindrops fall at 15 to 25 miles per hour regardless of how high they fall.Union University, What is the Speed of Falling Raindrops? (March 2001; Retrieved August 12, 2023))
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human (As a grasshopper, Hopper should be able to propel himself upwards a meter using only his legs.Heitler, W.J. (January 2007). "Performance". University of St Andrews. Archived from the original on 19 March 2015. Retrieved 13 April 2015. and exert up to 14 newtons of force.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper He would've squished the queen had Dot not informed Flik about the plot. A regular grasshopper can throw a mosquito hard enough to puncture a cactus; Hopper himself lifted and threw a leaf filled with grains and a few berries)
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level
Durability: Below Average Human level (Had once survived a bird attack that left a scar on and likely blinded one of his eyes; survived getting trampled by a swarm of ants without injury)
Stamina: Athletic for a bug (Despite having been trampled, he was no worse for wear, even saying himself that all Flik's move to rouse the ants did was buy them time)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: Above Average (As a dictator, Hopper had secured a reign of terror over both ants and grasshoppers despite knowing the ants outnumber the grasshoppers a hundred to one)
Standard Tactics: Typically he starts with intimidation, albeit assertively so, and will not hesitate to kill a few insects (as shown when he dumped an entire stockpile of grain onto three grasshoppers) to make an example out of them. If intimidation doesn't work, he would either resort to letting Thumper maul his enemies or taking matters into his own hands.
Weaknesses: Ornithophobia caused by his earlier encounter with a bird.
