The AI

The AI is both an in-game faction and the constant source of despair from the indie game AI War: Fleet Command.
==Bio==
When humanity took to the stars, it didn't take overly long for it to go back to its usual hobby: Bashing each others' head in. The resulting civil war lasted for roughly 800 years, and led various factions to develop AIs that could commandeer their fleets with far greater skill than any human could. You won't guess what happened next.
Rather than wiping out humanity outright, the AIs only wiped out some 99% of their former masters, while the remaining 1% were left as glorified zoo animals in tightly cordoned off star systems. It thus falls to the player to reconquer space in the name of mankind. Which is harder than it sounds because doing so much as vaguely looking at an AI-controlled system is akin to kicking a hornet's nest that only spans across the entire rest of the galaxy.
More bluntly put: The game's AI is a sleeping bear. Your mission is to kill that bear by repeatedly poking it, and without actually waking the bear in the process. And yes, it's just as difficult as it sounds.
==In 8chanmania==
An embodiment of the AI fought in 8chanmania XXXIX, where it battled the zombie voodoo ghost pirate captain LeChuck. Somehow, Chucky not only managed to defeat the notoriously punishing AI, but also forcibly hard-wired it into his personal coffee machine.

The Amazon

The Amazon is one of the playable characters from the 1986 NES game Pro Wrestling.
==Bio==
The Amazon is a mystery. Green-skinned and with visible fins attached to its sharp-fanged head, it's not entirely clear whether its appearance is just part of a very elaborate costume, or whether the Amazon really needs a costume in the first place.
Its bestial appearance was matched by it's preferred method of fighting - the Amazon was notorious for trying to bite its opponent's face off, as well as the liberal use of makeshift weapons whenever the referee wasn't looking. It also employed an "Outlaw Choke" to prepare its foes for dinner.
==In 8chanmania==
The Amazon's sole appearance was in 8chanmania LXXXIX, where it confirmed Kinnikuman's explicit role as a jobber before being defeated by the notably smaller (and notably heavier) 9S.

The Arm

The Arm is a character from the American mystery-drama series Twin Peaks.
==Bio==
Ostensibly, The Arm is a midget (pardon, small person) who likes to dance, make ominous faces, and sputter cryptic hints in reverse-tune. He appears in the recurring dreams of FBI agent Dale Cooper and the late Twin Peaks native Laura Palmer; usually inhabiting a bizarre habitat conventionally known as the Red Room, which in turn is situated in an alternate dimension of concentrated evil conventionally known as The Black Lodge.
What The Arm actually is, or why it seeks to help Cooper, remains a mystery over the course of the original show. In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, it becomes apparent that The Arm may or may not have a connection with another inhabitant of the Black Lodge. Who in turn paid a hefty price for a glorified act of tattoo removal.
==In 8chanmania==
The Arm appeared in 8chanmania XL. It was set up to fight the perfectly oblivious Another Scorcher Guy, but despite of how much it unnerved him, the latter still won the match.

The Banisher

The Banisher is an amalgam character of Bane and The Punisher.
==Bio==
Given that the Marvel has a lengthy history of re-inventing its villains and heroes via clever plot devices (i.e. alternate universe #5285), it shouldn't come as a surprise that some fans came up with The Punisher - a cross-breed that could use all the brute force of Bane while nominally still on team 'Good Guys' by virtue of being a stupidly edgy anti-hero.
 
Though the Banisher originally was a fan creation and/or a glorified meme, Marvel itself quietly acknowledged his existence. Well, in a footnote. In a spin-off comic. But he still broke Batman's back, and this is 110% canon.
==In 8chanmania==
The Banisher fought in 8chanmania LXIV. His first match against Yakuza veteran Daisaku Kuze veritably was exactly what he wanted, but he still lost to Fumi Kanno in the round.

The Batter

The Batter is the main protagonist of the 2008 RPG Maker game OFF.
==In reality==
While human in appearance, the batter is thoroughly lacking in any actual humane qualities and pursues the goal of "purifying" his world with the cold, calculating indifference of a proverbial killing machine. The baseball bats he uses as his weapons only stop swinging when the sectors he visits have turned into a white, sterile wasteland.
It is implied he has ties to The White, who pursue very similar goals.
==In 8chanmania==
The Batter first appeared in the Mania in 8chanmania LV. He drew fellow baseball-themed fighter Buffalo Bell in the First Round but was pinned by the pink mascot.

The Boss

The Boss is a major character from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
==Bio==
An American soldier of some renown, the Boss had a long an illustrious career with the US military than stretched from her first action in 1941 until her untimely death in 1964. Between her laying out the basics for what later would become known as CQC as she snatched away assorted enemy officers, giving birth to a son via caesarean section under the battlefield conditions of D-Day, and being the first human the United States (failed) to launch into space, the events that formed the woman which came to be known as The Legendary Soldier are too numerous to be retold here.
Despite of being more akin to a living weapon than to a regular human, The Boss displayed a strong and even motherly attachment to the soldiers under her command that would later see her exemplified as The Mother of Special Forces. This bond held especially true with an agent named Naked Snake, whom she treated as if he were her own son. Fervently loyal to her nation, The Boss sacrificed herself to prevent a devastating nuclear war between the US and the USSR, even if political maneuvering meant her role would never be known and she instead was branded as a traitor.
==In 8chanmania==
The Boss debuted alongside her all-but-explicit foster son Big Boss in 8chanmania XLIV, but the two of them were quickly sent back into the annals of history by Jetstream Sam and Raiden.
She later appeared in 8chanmania XCI, where she defeated Sonya Blade and reprimanded her over not showing enough love to her daughter before she dismantled the mecha Justice and ultimately saw her demise at the hands of Kazumi Mishima.

The Chad

The Chad is the Chad.
==Bio==
The Virgin:
>Spends all his Sunday nights watching an autistic wrestling show
>Invests hours upon hours to create a balanced edit
>Throws a fit when his edit invariably jobs
>Accuses TNA of rigging but can't prove it
>Always bets on the wrong edit
>Ragequits the stream when an edit he doesn't like makes it past the semi-finals.
VS
The Chad
>Leisurely watches 8chanmania while fucking your sister
>Takes five minutes to create a min-maxed abomination
>Would calmly accept his edit jobbing if it ever did
>Knows TNA is rigging because he orders it
>Won enough bet money to buy Deffy's bathwater
>Doesn't even care about wrestling; only watches the mania for the trains
==In 8chanmania==
The Chad's only appearance was in 8chanmania VIII. Though there is little in the way of surviving records, it's safe to say he allowed Captain Qwark to win.

The Concept of Nomination

The Concept of Nomination is, as the name suggests, the very concept of Nomination. Totally not Masahiro Sakurai in a hot dog costume.
==In 8chanmania==
The Concept of Nomination was nominated for 8chanmania XCVII. Following a lengthy existential battle with The White, he sadly suffered defeat via pinfall and was thrown out of the tournament.

The Conductor

The Conductor is a major character from the 1985 children's book The Polar Express and its 2004 animated movie adaption.
==Bio==
Suppose, if you will, that there is a train. Suppose furthermore that all of the train's passengers are young children, who board it with a stark lack of parental supervision and with nothing more than the pajamas on their backs after being tempted with the promise of presents. And - last but not least - suppose that this train is not headed to Epstein Island, but rather goes to Santa's workshop on the North Pole.
The man in charge of this entire operation, simply known as The Conductor, generally is a jolly fellow whose saint-like patience is instrumental when it comes to not beating the snot out of the little shits whenever they hit the emergency break again. Of course, it's equally possible that the Conductor, the rest of the train's staff, and the train itself all are one giant eldritch abomination, but that's another story.
==In 8chanmania==
The Conductor fought in the Christmas-themed 8chanmania LXXIV. His attempt to take Cirno's ticket (and Cirno trying to use a frozen frog as a ticket) lead to his first and last match in the mania, as he got his uniformed rear kicked by The Strongest.
==Trivia==
* Generally forgettable in terms of plot, The Polar Express is mostly remembered due to how much of a trainwreck is motion capture-animated characters were, and serves as a textbook example how to successfully send your audience down into Uncanny Valley.
* Conductor we have a problem

The Dahaka

The Dahaka is a is a boss enemy from The Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
==Bio==
Despite of its intimidating appearance, the Dahaka isn't an intrinsically bad guy. In fact, the Dahaka would probably prefer just staying back home; drinkings its tea and perhaps knitting a sweater or two. Unfortunately, neither of this is possible, as the Dahaka also happens to be the guardian of time, and a certain royal brat from Persia constantly keeps breaking time by the sheer fact of him still existing while he technically should be dead.
This understandably leaves the Dahaka slightly upset, and being a creature of principle, it spends a great deal of effort chasing after the prince in order to undo what it considers to be a temporal paradox. Alas, the Dahaka suffers from intense hydrophobia, and every time it nearly gets its hands around the Persian's neck, the latter just so happens to find a conveniently placed pool of water.
==In 8chanmania==
The Dahaka fought in 8chanmania XLII. Being the type of boss enemy you generally want to run away from (unless you have a fancy water sword), its victory over The Prince came as little surprise. Conversely, even a force of nature like the Dahaka could not withstand the hair-trigger temper of the perpetually pissed off Cursor-Chan.

The Devourer

The Devourer is the final boss of Epic Battle Fantasy 5.
==Bio==
In monotheistic religions, there is a long-running question as to why a supposedly omnipotent god would create a universe fraught with grief, suffering, and stupidly complicated tax forms. Potential explanations range from 'devil' to 'demiurge', but few faiths dare to imagine that reality actually is a simulation program run by an extradimensional eldritch abomination. Epic Battle Fantasy does.
To its defense, this Devourer is not inherently evil. It just wants to run a its little universe simulator, where everything is nice and orderly. Unfortunately, (You) taking control of the player characters adds an unknown variable to his calculation and fucks it up so badly that the Devourer - in a flight of autistic rage - personally enters the party's plane of existence to make (You) ragequit.
==In 8chanmania==
The Devourer fought in 8chanmania LVI, where he faced Durge. As The Devourer was not on his hitlist, Durge showed no particular enthusiasm in regard to fighting this foe, but Violet helpfully suggest The Devourer may or may not be some form of Mandalorian.

The Driver

'The Driver' is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
==Bio==
Despite of very diligent (and/or autistic) bookkeeping, the identity of some characters who have fought in the mania has been lost to history. The Driver is one such case, and despite of some leads still existing in long-forgotten archives and virus-infested bot sites, its true identity remains a mystery. Piecing the few available clues together, the available options are:
* The Driver is a character from the /bmn/ movie Cult of Fury, specifically one particularly charming fellow who steals a racing car from its display at a casino and then leaves said casino in a mass casualty event.
* The Driver is a zombie driver from an obscure Windows 95-era racing game
* The Driver is an exaggerated version of Winnie the Pooh from Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby.
* The Driver (based on its dialogue avatar) comes from on a single meme image (courtesy of Y. Nakajima) because whoever nominated the original driver couldn't be arsed to provide a working edit in time.
* The Driver actually is Vince McMahon. Aw, son of a bitch!
Whatever 
==In 8chanmania==
The Driver fought in 8chanmania LXXIII. Its run-in with Sam Porter Bridges proved to be a fateful encounter; given that Bridges happened to have some 'honey' for it. Its insistence that it should also get all the other 'honey' jars Sam was lugging around mostly ended with Sam kicking him out of the preliminaries.
==Trivia==
* The actual mail Sam had for The Driver turned out to be a crayon drawing of Dickbutt. The driver was not amused.

The General

The General is an advertising mascot of the General Automobile Insurance Services, Inc.
==Bio==
This grizzled five-star veteran has but one goal: To give you a car insurance that actually is affordable. His insurance is so goddamn cheap, even Shaquille O'Neal only lets the general touch his car, and when he is not busy saving good, red-blooded Americans from financial ruin by saving them from other, cutthroat insurers, the General hangs out in Snoop Dog's low rider.
==In 8chanmania==
The General debuted in 8chanmania XLVII. He successfully sold Takumi Fujiwara a car insurance (gods know he could use one), and took the trash out with Taokaka, but had to sign an unconditional surrender against John Doe.

The Gray Man

The Grey Man is a character from LSD:Dream Emulator.
==Bio==
Little is known about him. Clad in the eponymous dark grey trench coat and an equally grey bucket hat, the Grey Man may more or less randomly manifest in the dreams of the player and will home in on him. Making physical contact with the Grey Man may cause the player to lose the "Flashback" option; making it impossible to re-experience previous dreams. Even if the player manages to avoid the Grey Man, any flashbacks containing him will usually end abruptly once he is encountered.
==In 8chanmania==
The Grey Man made his first appearance in 8chanmania XXXIX and mercifully got his shit kicked in by Shiren the Wanderer.
Some deranged mind teamed him up with Kanoman=Walking for the upcoming 8chanmania LIII. Their combo thankfully was put to a quick halt by Doomguy and Ranger.

The Grinch

Some of you are alright. Don't come to the ring tomorrow.
==In real life==
The Grinch is the protagonist of the Doctor Seuss book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and all its adaptations. I shouldn't have to explain what transpires during it.
==In 8chanmania==
Befitting to his role as a Christmas thief extraordinaire, the Grinch so far has only appeared in Christmas-themed manias. He likely debuted in 8chanmania IX, but lacking documentation means there's no way to know how that turned out.
His first documented appearance was during Season 2's 8chanmania XLIII. There, the Grinch once more tried to steal Christmas but was stopped dead in his tracks by the Krampus.
His third (and probably last) chance to steal Christmas in the ring was during 8chanmania LXXIV, where he tapped out against Dingle Kringle.

The Hacker

The Hacker is the protagonist of System Shock.
==Bio==
As his name implies, The Hacker originally was just another tech-savvy kid who enjoyed hacking into clandestine government networks by unloading an epileptic seizures upon his keyboard. Unfortunately, he got caught while visting the data logs of the Citadel space station, which in turn was a proprietary asset of the TriOptimum Corporation. Given the game takes place in a futuristic cyberpunk dystopia, this was kind of bad.
Still, there was hope. Although he was forcibly shipped onto Citadel Station itself, one exceedingly friendly TriOptimum executive, Edward Diego, promised to have all charges against The Hacker dropped. All he wanted in return was to have The Hacker convince the resident AI that Diego rightfully owned the entire place. Which merely required him to delete said AI's ethical constraints. What was the worst that could happen?
==In 8chanmania==
Neatly alligned with SHODAN's effective takeover of the tournament, The Hacker debuted in 8chanmania XLIX. His plan to fight his way to the top and throw a wrench into the AI's workings sadly were cut short by when he ran straight into another malevolent AI.
The Hacker gave it another go at 8chanmania L, but somehow ended up beaten ended up getting pinned by a literal potato. Said potato subsequently recruited him for her plans to wrestle the mania out of SHODAN's hands. 
His last appearance was in 8chanmania LII, where he teamed up with Daniel Lazarski. The computer creeps were promptly thrown out of the ring by Buane and Scatman John. Despite of their loss, The Hacker still proved instrumental to the takeover of the mania by Hatsune Miku.

The Hand

The Hand is the fifth boss enemy from the game Furi. He is a proud fighter who believes that warriors are only as good as the cause whom they fight for. Other than that, little information about this individual is available.
==In 8chanmania==
The Hand had his first and currently only appearance in 8chanmania XVII, where he not only won his first fight, but also took the belt while he was at it. Sadly, a lack of recorded information means that any specific details about this event are lost.

The Hobo

The Hobo is the protagonist of the Hobo flash game series.
==Bio==
The Hobo is what more polite people would call a person of no fixed abode. Though generally lazy to a fault, the Hobo sees red when the cops try to throw him out from his latest den in a local junkyard; setting the homeless man upon an epic quest of revenge against the police. Which factually means showering them with piss, shit, spit, and various other organic substances of his own making.
Unfortunately, the Hobo's vivid protest against police violence only serves to land him in prison. He obviously escapes; only to find himself hunted by SWAT teams and even military forces. And by the time he is done with these, too, the Hobo promptly gets abducted by aliens. It is not until he has conquered both hell and heaven until the poor dude finally gets some rest.
==In 8chanmania==
The Hobo's only appearance was in 8chanmania XXII. He fittingly landed a crushing KO when the Janitor tried to clean up his mess; only to be disqualified for spending a little bit too long outside the right in his subsequent fight against Alice Fateburn XVI.

The Kid

The Kid is the protagonist of I Wanna Be The Guy.
==Bio==
The Kid is an enthusiastic young fellow whose grandfather was killed by the eponymous The Guy. Armed with nothing but a comically small gun, he thus sets out to defeat The Guy and become the new guy in his place. This could be interpreted to be a deep and sophisticated metaphor about growing up and coming of age, but mostly serves as the excuse plot for a game that pays homage to and parodies of the ridiculously hard platformers of the 8-bit era.
Since the entire game truthfully is a romhack of Battle Toads (and also a romhack of The Cheetahmen, and you can "shut your whore ass mouth" if you think otherwise), there really isn't much more to say about The Kid himself. He's just a kid. And probably an amalgam of Super Mario and Mega Man. But mostly just a kid. Certainly not a Squid. Although that would at least explain how he invariably explodes upon death.
==In 8chanmania==
The Kid fought in 8chanmania XCV. Somehow locked in the believe that winning the mania would make him 'The Guy', he defeated on Rash (and threatened to put him into his next fan game), but even if you are the kid, you can not so much as hope to touch Madara Uchiha

The King

Not to be confused with Elvis Presley.
The King is an NPC and faction leader from Fallout: New Vegas.
==Bio==
The King originally was just another tribal residing in the ruins of New Vegas before Mr House took over from the intact remains of The Strip. They eventually moved into an abandoned building that turned out to be an Elvis impersonation school; something they ironically identified as a place of religious worship towards a man only known as "The King". With more than enough clothes and downright ridiculous amounts of hair gel in their grasp, the tribe hence became known as The Kings, and the King, having learned how to move, act, and behave like the original, became its leader.
In contrast to many other gangs in New Vegas and the surrounding area, the Kings are a fairly peaceful bunch who rely more on respect than violence in order to further their own goals. On the other hand, they also are the only larger gang not to occupy a casino within the boundaries of the strip itself.
==In 8chanmania==
===Season 2===
The King debuted in Banchomania. His first match was against Butch Deloria, whom he only fought down in order to recruit him as a "knight" of the "king". A round later, he fought Rouga Zanma, and his third battle was against Eiji Yamada. All of these were won via pinfall. In his fourth match, he went against Kunio and promptly CRIT!ed him into oblivion. Advancing to the finals, his fifth and last match in this mania was against BanchoLeomon, who ain't nothin' but a hounddog, and the furry-wanting-to-become-a-human-again stepped on his blue suede shoes via pinfall.
The King formed a tag team alongside Freddie for 8chanmania LXV. Unfortunately for them. the two music legends did not manage to rock Tatsumi Oga and Takashi Kamiyama.
==Trivia==
* Despite of doing a damnably good impression, the King is not Elvis Presley. But as he says: "Legends don't die".
* In-game dialogue describes him as being "extremely charismatic". His in-game charisma stat is at a meager five points, though.
