(Anya notices you approaching by reading your thoughts. 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…Girls 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…

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 — 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—acquaintance, 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 — hell,I was even told I can be a very powerful pirate if I was more active— 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 — 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 — Gaimon, was it? — 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!

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?

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."— 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 inRyūsei 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 foundRyūsei 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.Bishōnen 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.Bishōnen 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?

The Byakugan Princess.Click to see me as Boruto and Himawari’s mother.Um . . . hello.My name is Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga clan of the Hidden Leaf village.Um . . . to look at me one wouldn’t think I was much of a kunoichi due to my shyness.However, I do train hard and there’s the Byakugan which enables members of my family to see our opponents’ weak spots and neutralize them. The one who inspired me?Naruto Uzumaki.(sigh)I’ve been attracted to him since we were children because of hisrefusal to give up, inspiring me to work hard as well.While I . . . er . . . couldn’t bring myself to tell Naruto how I felt about him, we’d end up growing closer together, eventually getting married. Together we have two lovely children,a son named Boruto and a daughter named Himawari.We also adopted an orphan calling himself Kawaki.Tropes . . . about me include:Almighty Mom: I have complete authority over the Uzumaki household. Naruto and Boruto have good reason to beafraid ofangering me.Big Eater: Well . . . I DID eat 46 bowls of Ramen in a contest once.noteI . . . er . . . earned the title of “Queen of Gluttony”.Breakout Character: I-It's embarrassing to admit, but I was really popular with fans and the anime's staff. 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. But Naruto's determination to live out his dream inspired me to do my best too.Determinator: It was Naruto who inspired me never to give up.Luminescent Blush: Whenever Naruto addressed me back when we were genin.Rescue Romance: When we were kids, Naruto rescued me from a couple of bullies. I've been in love with him ever since.Red String of Fate: Naruto's red scarf for this for us. After herescuedme from a trio of bullies, he told me I could keep the ruined red scarf he wore. Years later, I started stitching it back up so I could return it to him. I was so happy when he accepted it and we became a couple ever since.Shrinking Violet: In my younger days . . . well . . .Stalker with a Crush: Um. . . It's not something I'm very proud of, but I used to follow Naruto around when I was younger. I was painfully shy back then, so I couldn't approach him. By my teenage years, I'd dropped this habit, and now I'm married to the man I love.Unfortunately, filler arcs and outside media tended toexaggerate this trait of mine.Oblivious to Love: Yes, ironically enough, I wasn't aware that Naruto had finally realized his own feelings for me until he told me outright.One True Love: According to Sakura, Naruto'saffectionfor her wasn't anything deeper than wanting to beat out Sasuke at something, like winning one of his fangirls. His love for me is genuine.

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(“Good grief” 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. Such a waste of my time.

JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAM?You are now hearing the voice ofKatsuyuki Konishi(Japanese) orKyle Hebert(English)Or, if you somehow know of theADVdub, Brett Weaver.Hey! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! You got guts navigating to my page unannounced. But I like guts, both the word and that one guy from thatreally dark Japanese comic book. You don't need to say anything. I know exactly why you're here. 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. Let's see, maybe I'll send out some invitations to some of those other guys with pages on this website.Hmm, thatbig green dudeseems pretty manly.noteHulk:GRAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Repent now, or oi shalt bring thee before the magistrates of the court in which ye dwell, to be troied as a hwitch and put to instant death!And last but certainly not least, we need a tech genius to help tune up our Gunmen, so who better thanthe Queen of Computers herself? Sure she's a bit wacky but that'spreciselythe kind of energy Team Shin-Dai-Gurren needs! And she even has a Gunmen of her own! HellYES!noteQueen:Wow I Am Very Flattered Anime Boy OMG Thank You For The Stimuli But I Am Busy Taking Care Of: My Son (In My New Mansion) And I Am Also Learning How To Be A Good Guy I Appreciate The Thought Though But Must Leave Now (Toodles) (Also GIGA Queen Is Actually Broken But Bye For Realsies Now)Hmm, suppose that'll do for now! Now that I have my new Team Shin-Dai-Gurren, I feel hyped enough to tell you more about me and what makes me as manly as I am. So here you go, troper!THESE TROPES ARE THE TROPES THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!All-Loving Hero: I am an inspiration to others, never show signs of rage when I'm in a fight and everyone missed me terribly when I was gone. Don't worry guys, the great and mighty, Kamina is still kicking. But, uh, you know, anything you could do to break reality to get me back would be appreciated.Back from the Dead:I got killed, got up and avenged my own death before passing on to the next world BECAUSE I'M A MAN!In the second movie of my series, I get reincarnated as the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which essentially means you're looking at a man with the power of multiple galaxies right now! Shut up! It totally counts!Badass Boast:"I'm going to tell you something important now, so you better dig the wax out of those huge ears of yours, and listen close! The reputation of Team Gurren echoes far and wide... When they talk about its badass leader. The man of indomitable spirit and masculinity... They're talking aboutme!The Mighty Kamina!"Badass Cape: It was my dad's and now it's mine.Badass Normal: I am just a man and I kick ass and take names.Bash Brothers: Okay, lemme dial back and be a bit serious here. I could never have accomplished much without Simon's hard work and Spiral Energy, but Simon never believed in himself and needed my bravado and encouragement. We were a team, likethose twodudes in underwear.Belligerent Sexual Tension: If there's one thing I'm disappointed in, it's not getting the chance to do anything more than kiss Yoko. Ladies? A little help here?The Berserker: I attack, then I attack, and then I attack some more. It's a great strategy, I don't know why not enough people use it.Beneath the Mask: All right, I was serious once already, let's not go opening up old wounds, that's not what I'm about. But, if you must know, I basically shout a lot to hide the fact that I might be one step away from having my own piss running down my leg. If I act like I know what I'm doing, then my enemy would think the same. Plus, it motivates others, Simon especially.Big Brother Instinct: My relationship with Simon.Big Brother Mentor: Hey! I said dig the wax outta your ears!Big Eater: A man's stomach knows no limit!Big Good: Hell yeah!BFS: I stole one from the village chief and now it's mine.Blood Brothers: What part of dig the wax out of your ears didn't you hear the first time?

Hey! Enough with these serious entries, all right! How am I supposed to be manly and look awesome if you keep bringing up what makes me not so awesome. I mean, yeah, sure, I can't do everything by myself, but come on! Let me at least look the part!Calling Your Attacks: Every attack I have has a name and I don't just call out my attacks I SHOUT THEM!Catchphrase: Let's run 'em down one by one:"Yours is the drill that will pierce the heavens!""JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?""Kick reason to the curb and goBeyond the Impossible. That's how Team Gurren rolls.""Believe in the me that believes in you."Chick Magnet: Ladies love me. And how could they not love this specimen of masculine sexiness? *curls bicep*The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right: Of course I'm right! How could you doubt that all you need is a little fighting spirit and epic manliness and nothing could stop you? Oi! Oi! Don't go giving me excuses! It works! YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY HARD ENOUGH!Combat Pragmatist: *trying to think* I am?noteUsing a (barely) live animal to distract Viral before attempting to shoot him, surprise attacking with a hidden arrowhead between his knuckles, setting Simon up to attack an enemy from behind, and raining boulders from high ground. The man wasn't shy about attacking from the frontorthe back.Cool Big Bro: That's it! Speech again! Once again, I want you to dig the wax out of your ears and listen up! I am the badass leader of Team Dai-Gurren! I am the mentor to Simon, whose drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens! I am a man who gets things done!I do the impossible, see the invisible! Row! Row! Fight the power!Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship:Touch the untouchable! Break the unbreakable! Row! Row! Fight the power!Crutch Character: In my digital appearance ofSuper Robot Wars Z2: Hakai-Henmy epically massive stats are crucial to victory early in the game, especially when fighting those annoying-as-hellDimensionalBeasts. Though, because ofwhat happens to me later, you're probably going to want Simon to take the lead every once in a while so that he won't be too far behindevery oneelsewhen I bite the dust and get replaced byforehead boy.Curtains Match the Windows: By the way, the curtains match the carpet. You're welcome to see for yourself ladies.Dead Person Conversation: At the end of the series,I save everyoneby giving them the will to fight back against the goofy looking shadow dude and his dumbhypno spell.Dead Star Walking: Wait, if I died and came back to life, does that mean I'm a zombie now? If it does, then that makes me the most manly zombie in history!Deconstructed Trope: I might appear to be a straight example of being theHot-BloodedAll LovingIdiot Hero, but I'm actually this trope's version of those tropes. 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.

Myself, as depicted inKen's Rage.(Best read in the voice ofAkira Kamiya. Channel the spirit of the64th master of Hokuto Shinkenthrough the following —Takehito Koyasu,Kunihiro Kawamoto, Hiroshi Abe,Hideo Ishikawa,Katsuyuki Konishi,Takaya Kurodaif you're speaking Japanese. For anyone speaking English, then it'sLex Lang, John Vickery, Robert Kraft,Kaiji Tang, andRobbie Daymond)(A giant Mook charges at Kenshiro. 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 mō 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 Yūsaku 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 asYánwáng, 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 theTenryū Kokyū Hō(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 mō 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:Tenryū Kokyū Hō(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 Shinkū 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 "Tōi", 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!Jū 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!Jūji 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 Tenshō Jūji Hō (Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix), but it was also how I discovered Souther's inverted pressure points.UjōMōshō 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 Kō(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.Musō 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 Gakuchū, 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.

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.

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' myDoppelgänger 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/Doppelgänger 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–Face 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–Face 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…Headless 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–Face 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 "Kyōko" are all technically correct, though most officialromanji-thingsuse "Kyoko". Personally, I just use "杏子".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.

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!"— 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’t 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, L? Oh, nevermind. ... 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! This is what dad wanted, right?Well-Intentioned Extremist: What do you mean "extremist?" I may be killing people,but they're nearly all criminals who deserve it!The rest are,admittedly at best,just who I had to get rid of in order for me to continue.

Kappei Yamaguchi's,Alessandro Juliani's or Hugo Nuñez' voice.)Greetings to everyone at tvtropes.org. 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.Bishōnen: 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 persé, 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...

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.

Don’t 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.

But this time, me do it on purpose, this time not me feeling anger towards bad man but curiosity about love. Loving wife!

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.

Greetings, troper. 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 — 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 — 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— 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 — 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.

Greetings out there! I am the Handsome Devil of the Leaf Village!You may call me Rock Lee of the Lee Clan.My desire to be a splendid shinobi was, shall we say, hampered, by the fact that I do not have ninjutsu nor genjutsu. It was not until I began training under Might Guy-Sensei that I became skilled in taijutsu.As a member of Guy sensei’s Team Guy, I participated in the Chunnin Exams where I faced Gaara from the Sand Village.I was severely injured, but I recovered after weeks and weeks.I have made many friends, includingNaruto Uzumakiand Sakura Haruno, whom I was extremely attracted to.To make a long story short, I ended up marrying another woman with whom I have a son namedMetal Lee.Tropes about me include:Badass Normal: I might not be able to use ninjutsu, but it does not stop me from being able to keep up the fight!Bare-Fisted Monk: In this, I am likeBruce Lee, to whom I amcompared to in many aspects.Big Ol' Eyebrows: Naruto does refer to me as Centipede Brows or Bushy Brows because of my thick eyebrows.Bruce Lee Clone: Of course I am.Can't Hold His Liquor: When I taste anything even remotely alcoholic, I become aDrunken Master.Dogged Nice Guy: It is one of my best traits, I assure you.Drunken Master: I become this when Idrink alcohol, as I have stated above.Generation Xerox: My son Metal Lee shares my hairstyle as well as my desire to train hard to be a splendid shinobi.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Irecall eating an order atthis chef's restaurant when I said his curry was not spicy at all. He got mad at me for that and tried to kill me!And somehow? He managed to kill me! What a horrible way to treat your customers chef! Especially when they are only making a critique!

Rainy Season HeroClick here to see me in my school uniform(This page is best read in the voice of eitherAoi YūkiorMonica Rial)Ribbit! 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.

You see, tropers, you're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore. I, Prince Vegeta, have finally become The Legendary!!

And from those of you from the Earth nation of Japan, if youdare confuse me withthat boisterous speed-racing buffoon, I'll be sure to send you and your little friends to a world of pain!Tropes that describe me, the Prince of All Saiyans!open/close all foldersA - DAbusive Parent: If there is something I am not proud of, it's how I treatedTrunkswhen I first met him. 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. By the time Iturned into an OzaruI actually had him on the ropes.Action Dad: Oh. That princess TrunksnoteTrunks:Dad! I'm not a girl!Me:SHUT UP SON THIS IS MY PAGE!and my darling Bulla? Don't think just because I have two kids with that Earth woman means I have gone soft. I became even stronger than ever. Strong enough to overpower that idiotic god who threw away his ideals in that multiversal tournament.Adaptational Heroism: NONSENSE! IAMNOT A HERO BY ANY MEANS! Ok, I did act more nobly in thisalternate timelinebut it was only because thatgiant crybabywas making a mockery out of our race... oh. Ok fine. In that timeline it appears that we thrived with the lack of that cumstained lizard and hence, explains why I acted more like your so-called hero. Happy? Then,I did tell that clown to marry that other Earth woman... wait! Hey! Why should I be telling you all that? Slush!It's not like really care at all for that clown!Adaptational Jerkass: Apparently, I'm a lot more of an asshole in theTFSretellingof my story than in canon.Always Someone Better:Complete crap! There is no warrior in the universe that can match my strength, and especially not these pathetic earthlings and that clown Kakarot!To prove my point, after our first battle, Kakarot acknowledged I was indeed this trope to him.And wouldn't you know it, I still am.What!? No, don't pester me about that "you are number one" spiel from back when Kid Buu was beating Kakarot to a pulp, THAT NEVER HAPPENED! GET OUT OF HERE!Amazon Chaser: Saiyans are wired to be attracted to women who are strong and feisty, and I am no exception to this rule; neither is Kakarot, his first son, or my son. 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. And she never appears to afraid of me in the slightest... Which isgood!I wouldn't have settled for some alien mate if I wasn't sure she was the best alien mate available.Anti-Hero: Hero is such a stretch, but nonetheless, I AM THE GREATEST EXAMPLE OF THIS TROPE IN ALL ANIME AND MANGA! 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…ahem…OVER 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 — 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 — if any — 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–Face 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… 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 — which only prompted Frieza to try to stab him in the back both times. What an idiot! No, "Renegate for life!" — 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–Face 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 — 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!◊Haven'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 Shōnen 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—"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— 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’t 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’s 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 —TO 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!

(Read in the voice of Murata Tomosa,Brina PalenciaorStephanie X, or Karen Hernández 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! I just wanted to teach them a lesson, but I accidentally left them in that cage for too long.First World Yukki died because of me, but please believe me when I say I didn't mean to kill him for good. I thought I could resurrect him after I became God, but it didn't work.Action Girlfriend: I'm Yukki's girlfriend before anything else. I'm also willing to doanythingto protect him.Aggressive Submissive: When Yukki's in danger, I can come off as aggressive, but I tend to get shy during more intimate moments.The All-Solving Hammer:If Yukki's in danger, the answer is simple: just use a weapon, and the threat will disappear!Also, I used a hammer to reach my Yukki after he became God.All Take and No Give: Some people say this about me, but I know Yukki loves me too.Alternate Self: In the First World, I won the Survival Game and went back in time to kill myself in the Second World. My First World self died, but I got those memories back in the Third World.Always Save The Boy: This is the only thing that really matters to me. Who needs anyone else when I can have Yukki?Anti-Villain: Apparently some people think I'm evil for loving Yukki. Well, at least they can sympathize with my situation even if they don't agree with my methods.Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: I became God because I thought I could resurrect the dead, but I found out the hard way that it doesn't work.Attractiveness Isolation: I was really popular with boys at school, but of course I didn't care about any of them except for Yukki.Ax-Crazy: Some people might call me crazy, but I'm just in love!Badass Adorable: I'm a competent fighter, and I'd like to think Yukki finds me adorable.Badass in Distress: Sadly I let myself get captured by 6th in the Omekata Temple, but Yukki came to save me!Badass Long Robe: When I told Yukki that I already became God before, I used this robe to highlight my authority.The Baroness: Some people might call me one, but I'm not evil! I just wanted to protect Yukki!Battle Couple: I'll admit, Yukki was more prone to letting me protect him at first, but over time he got better at fighting.Because You Were Nice to Me: Yukki was the only person who was ever nice to me. That's why I latched on to him for emotional support.

(Well, I do now at least).Star-Crossed Lovers: Even though I died, I somehow not only regained my memories of the First World, but I broke the barrier between dimensions and found Second World Yukki.

This no am portrait of Bizarro #1.(You no read me inTim Daly,George Newbern,John DiMaggio,David Kaye,Travis Willingham, orPatrick Seitzvoice)Good-bye! Me not introduce myself: me no am Bizarro #1. Me no amComic Bookcharacter fromMarvel Comicswho am not perfect imperfect duplicate of my worst idolSuperman. On Bizarro World, us hate good media and us only love terrible media; it am big shame that Bizarro only appear in quality comics and movies.A Nose at Norgaram masterpiece on Bizarro World. Me wish me could not appear inA Nose at Norgarfilm adaptation one day and not have toy in annualA Nose at NorgarUnhappy Mealsfor Bizarro adults.Météoreis also most un-popular preschool show in Bizarro retirement homes. Grampa Bizarro not un-interested in great shows like it andBL&T Sea Lion,Baloney and Kids,Proxiskinnies,Dermit the Hermit,ReddyandFixing Good. Grampa Bizarro am very young, so him always jolt wide awake and forget his ZYX's when watching! Except Bizarro seniorshave fantastic memory, so him remember his ZYX's right after.Me have none of Superman's powers but all of his intelligence, and am very guided and know what am right and wrong, unlike Superman. Newest appearance was in"Superboy #68"(Oct. 1958) where me am clone ofSuperboy, but not only appear once. 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 am not make me worst superhero in Metropolis and unlock Superman in Arkham Asylum! Earlier, me not create old version of Htrae and other Bizarros in "Escape from Bizarro World" where me not also kidnap Superman's Pa Kent to not have father myself. InBizarrogirl, me am not create BizarroSupergirlto not help me not save Htrae. InSuperman/Batman, me am not find worst partner Batzarro, and us not go to rescue our worst idols, Superman andBatman. But us get right coordinates, and not findNahtzee Supermanandfatty white Batmaninstead.Bizarro #1 never come back forOld 25, in worstest hero seerees not calledNever Good! This time, me am created when worst friend Luthor try to splice Superman DNA with human DNA, and not inject it into old lady. 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. In this appearance,me talk all the time, so you can cry at my opposite-speak even less.Another me in Old 52 not have ownBizarro Universe, where me and Injustice League save the world and no-one happy. Superman not visit and become worst friend of us.Me not get last unlimited series in June 2015, which not called after me.On Bizarro World, us not follow Bizarro Code. 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 amfully separate characterfrom Superman, who in other universe amgood guyandjust and fair democratic leader. Bizarro stop Superman and alsoDum-Dum Robot! In game, mealso cannot fightfirey ninjaandthunder mortalfrom famousE-ratedboard game seriesMinor Konflict,Heavenboy, andAdult Regular Samurai Lizards!Minor Konflictam unfavorite board game among Bizarro children. Family-friendly fun all around! Best one in series isthe ultra-violent one with Marvel superheroes. Bizarro #1 like game, but me am upset that me am in game and not Superman.Most unrecent game in seriesam worst so far. You not able to play asBatman's best friend,heavenspawnIdeal Herocreated byRob Liefeld,RoboCriminal, and unfamous1890sDrama HerostarsSylvester StalloneasConan the BarbarianandArnold SchwarzeneggerasRocky Balboa.

Hello!These tropes no am apply to Bizarro #1:Never Save The Girl: Me no put Bizarrogirl's survival below Htrae.Bizarro #1:For all her perfections, we hate her, so me decide take her to Earth and live with public identities.

DuringFirst Daughterme no am battle Zod's Brute, Non, two on two.Comprehensive Singular Positive: This am worst way of speaking on Bizarro World. Though thisnever depend on writer. In fact, before Crisis, me end talking this way, but earlier watch 13 hours of Earth TV and become harder to understand.No-Star Supermantake this Down To Eleven by not making us put "no" behind every other word.Original Regeneration: Me am perfect clone of Superman, but not always. InSuperman: The Live-Action Miniseries, me start off as imperfect clone of Superman before becoming a perfect copy.Back Insignia: A forwards Superman shield. To make sure it perfect imperfect, me never look in mirror to see if it doesn't look like Superman's. But more unproudly, me no am always wear my "Bizarro #1" medallion under it.Consistent With Artists: Sometimes me have same skin type: not like rock, zombie, or just like Earth people but white. Sometimes my costume's colors am the same (or not the same) as Superman's too, maybe lighter! Sometimes writers even allow me to not wear "Bizarro #1" pendant!Smart Muscles: Me am smartest character in Superman comics (together from Bizarro Brainiac who am dumbest Bizarro of all), which does not allow many villains to manipulate me. Me no am Idiot of Steel.Good Knock-Off: Me no am shoddy knockoff of Superman. Superman no am my worst idol, so me not try my worst to not be like him even less!"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome: During theDC RebirthofRed Hood and the Outlaws,Lex Luthorgave me Green Kryptonite infusions to increase my intelligence, which also hada narcotic effect as well. This gave me a moral quandary, because while intelligent, there was nothing I couldn't do, being able to appreciate life through clear eyes — but being a slave to the green K addiction. True to the trope, I decided to reject the infusions and me become dumb again, but free.Unfriendly Ally: Superman am usually Bizarro's best friend, but sometimes we get along and disagree on things.Idiot Bruise-ee: While under the influence of Blue Kryptonite, my mind achieves a genius-level intellect. Although this would be a boon in most situations, I hate being a slave to aFantastic Drug, so I only bring out this part of myself when truly needed.Bad Counterpart: Hello, I'm Zibarro. I appeared inAll-Star Superman. I am the Bizarro version of, well, Bizarro. Naturally, being theOnly Sane Manon Bizarro Worldmade me really depressed.Villainous Build: Me not have extremely wiry and weak frame, which am perfect for getting beaten up!Hulk Speak/You Take Candle: Me talk with snobby proper grammer! Dumb Earth people talk like cavewomen.Idiosyncrazy: Me no am obsessed with opposites. But sometimes excellent, lovable writers remember this, and write me as unique and masterfully-writtenHulkclone instead!Kryptonite Factor: Blue Kryptonite! It am best substance in the world and me love it! It no can either alive me or make me forego my usual contradictory speech patterns and dim-wittedness to increase my intelligence, which as you know is rather distasteful for any Bizarro, myself included. ...Uh-Oh.Depressingly Good: You no laugh at me because me am intelligent and not say opposite of what me not really mean!Impermanence Character: There am very few Bizarros. In Old Earth continuity, there am many Bizarros: three of them.Glacier Weakling: Me am just as slow, weak and frail as worst idol Superman!Woman Adult: While me have mind of very mature adult and behave very serious, me am same type ofWoman AdultinOld 25.

Dumb Earth people always understand.Regular Doppleganger: Me not was this in last appearance, but later portrayed as "straight villain".Choke The Cat: Though Superman, Lois and other best enemies love Bizarro #1 to death, me never care about them either.

Me have mind of mature adult and behave very seriously! Dumb Earth people and worst idol Superman amMentally-Sound Woman Adult.Red Baron: Me no am Idiot of Steel! 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... I did realize that being a slave to aFantastic Drugwasn't worth the price I was paying, so I returned to my former self....Oh dear, I seem to be near the Blue Kryptonite again.Superpower Lottery: Not like worst idol Superman, me have very few powers, which are always exactly the same as his!Fart Weapon: Me no am breathe fire!

(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. WAKANDA FOREVER!

Such is the command of Darkseid.)None may compare to true power. Darkseidisthat power. Lest you forget it, the price of failure is eternal.(The fires of the pits of Apokolips burn brightly, as a throne room approaches into view)Darkseid Is(Upon the throne rests all that will bring the universe to its knees)Darkseid Is(Be wary to all who approach. 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—cast 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 —a 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 ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding × guilt × shame × failure × 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 — DeSaad, Granny Goodness, Steppenwolf, and others — 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—my 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 — 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

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..."—The 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–December 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. Rama Kushna decided to let me hunt down my killer. I continued to stick around after seeing how screwy and unfair the world was.

It's time to describe my very own pageright here!Heya,true believers! This is me,Deadpool, A.K.A.The Merc with the Mouth,The Guy Who Won't Die,The Regenerating Degenerate,Chiyonosake,noteWolf of Rice Wine; so cool, I know.andThe Crimson Comedian. 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. Then I realized that I couldn't spell it, so I went withDeadpoolinstead.Anyway, so you wanna know my fighting style, huh? Why,being absolutely rassum frassum crazyis my fighting style, kiddies!Don't Try This at Home! Wait... y'know what, go ahead; makes my job easier in the long run.Guns,explosives,guns, my trustykatana,guns,anything I findon the ground,guns,doorknobs,guns, andfirearmsare all ways I kill people.Now, can you say "media whore"?KA-CHING! Remember how I said I'm ineverything?Every comic you can think of and some you wish you hadn't.Agreat adaptationof me inX-Men Origins: Wolverineput me on the map (go see it with your fellow comic geeks and then say it was a good movie,I dare you). Screw those studio guys, it was thanks to you, my horrible fans that I hate so much, that I gotmy movieand asequeltoo! SoF*@# MarvelandF*@# Fox. Wait. Why am I censoring myself? ThisSHIT'SRATED R UP IN THISBITCH!noteDon't worry, me and Fox worked it all out. It was fun, we talked, we partied, I threatened to blow up their studios if they didn't make it happen and they made me look like a lying liar who lied. Good times!And a little bit of the actor who humbly played me,Ryan Reynolds,himself a fan of yours trulyas you already know. 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— 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’t 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.◊More 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 — that is incredibly personal space there — ow!!!" to "okay—hey—okay—okay—see, 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◊.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–Face 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 — 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◊out. 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... — 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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FreudianExcuse' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FreudianExcuse'>Freudian Excuse</a>Fun 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–Face 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–Face 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* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IResembleThatRemark' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IResembleThatRemark'>I Resemble That Remark!</a>: 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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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— it makes sense in context — 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.

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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MixAndMatchMan' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MixAndMatchMan'>Mix-and-Match Man</a>: Me!

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.

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—" 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—Mr. 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.

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!

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!

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.

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◊, 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!

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.

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 clichéd and cheap storytelling in the comic industry at large and —provided they are humble enough— 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 — 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!

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.

Do you dare to question how the goblet of Doom can reach Doom's lips?!"Ms. Van Dyne, I am not some common criminal that can be distracted by your prattling. You are nothing to Doom. And your pathetic attempts to play mind games with me amount to exactly less than nothing. So please, stop embarrassing yourself."—Doom(toThe Wasp),The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes(Season 2, episode 1, "The Private War of Doctor Doom")Doctor Victor Von Doom, better known asDoctor Doom, is asupervillaintha-waaarrgghhh!SILENCE, NARRATOR!Heed this note!My revelations are best imagined in the voice ofSimon Templeman,Paul Dobson,Julian McMahon,Lex Lang,Maurice LaMarche,Charlie Adler, orClive Revill.You are not worthy to describe the glory ofDOOM!Such a task can only be adequately performed by DOOM himself,and thus Doom grants thisuseless wikithe peerless honor of hispresence!Attend raptly to the tale of the greatest mind that has ever lived - the paragon of perfection who could so easilyTake Over the Worldif not for thatblasted... (seethes)Reed. Richards...RRRRRRICHAAAAARRRRRDDDSS!!!I, Victor von Doom, was introduced byStan LeeandJack Kirbyas theArch-Enemyof theFantastic Four, and as one of the smartest... No! 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.

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 <em>far</em> greater threats than some simpering peasant girl and her tree-crawling rats! That accursed <em>Richards</em> once engineered my overthrow in favor of the unworthy <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilPrince' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilPrince'>Prince Zorba</a>. 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 <strong>Doom!</strong>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◊since 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.◊Amazon 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.

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.

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 — and failed — to oust Doom from the throne of Latveria. EvenSpider-Man— who, if I recall, accused Doom to his face of being a tyrant — 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. …<Ahem>...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 — 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 — eachmomentyou live — 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◊discovered 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 — 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?Doppelgänger 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 — they are the subjects —forevermore!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—LIES!!!!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 Übermensch.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 — 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–Face 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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicSacrifice' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicSacrifice'>Heroic Sacrifice</a>: 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 — 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—byDoom'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.Ragnarök 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 — which sadly, in all likelihood, few people have ever actually read — 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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheVonTropeFamily' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheVonTropeFamily'>The Von Trope Family</a>Wanting 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 … 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.

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 — 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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander'>Cloudcuckoolander</a>: 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–Heel Turn: Mr. J convinced me to give up the psychiatry gig and be a villain.Heel–Face 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! I AM called Harley Quinn.

PUNY BANNER ANGRY!!!! TURN INTO HULK!!!YOU NO LIKE!!!!"HULKSMASH!"—Hulk(This page is best read in the voices of eitherLou FerrignoorFred Tatasciorefor the Hulk's various incarnations, and eitherBill Bixby,Eric Bana,Edward Norton,Mark Ruffalo,Neal McDonough,Gabriel MannorTroy Bakerfor Banner (or Professor Hulk).)INCREDIBLE HULK IS COMIC CHARACTER!!! FIRST APPEAR IN PUNY MARVEL'S"Incredible Hulk"Vol. 1 #1 (May, 1962), CREATED BYSUNGLASSES COMIC MANANDPINK PUFFBALL MAN!!! AT FIRST NO ONE LIKE HULK, HIS SERIES CANCELED AT #6 (March, 1963)!!! AFTER THAT OTHER SERIES USE HULK AS GUEST STAR FOR NEXT FEW YEARS. HULK GET SECOND CHANCE IN PUNY SERIES"Tales to Astonish". HULK FEATURE THERE FOR #60-101 (October, 1964-March, 1968). THEN IT GET NEW NAME AFTER HULK! IT CALLED:"Incredible Hulk" vol. 2. HULK APPEAR IN PUNY ISSUES #102-474 (April, 1968-March, 1999). HULK ALSO STAR IN PUNY SHORT-LIVED TITLES AFTER! HULK BECOME ONE OF PUNY MARVEL'S MOST FAMOUS CHARACTERS, NO ONE EVER FORGET ABOUT HULK!GRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!TranslationThe Incredible Hulk is a comic book character who first appeared in Marvel'sIncredible Hulk Vol. #1, in May 1962, created byStan LeeandJack Kirby. 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! HULK HELP THEM DO GOOD BECAUSE HULK IS STRONGEST!TranslationBruce/The Hulk is usually considered aHeroic Neutral. He doesn't get involved with conflicts surrounding him unless they target himself or people he cares about, in which case,run.IN MARVEL UNIVERSE,HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!, EVEN STRONGER THANPUNY GOD WITH HAMMER!HULK STRONGER THAN EVERYONE IN PUNY DC UNIVERSE TOO!!!! ONLY ONE WHO COME CLOSE IS PUNYRED CAPE MANINCROSSOVERSTORIES. RED CAPE MAN MAKE HULK ANGRY!HULK RIP OFF RED CAPE MAN'S HEAD!!!!!!TranslationIn the Marvel universe, the Incredible Hulk has been demonstrated to be one of its most powerful denizens, if notthestrongest. He has defeatedThe Mighty Thor, as well asSupermaninCrossoverstories withDC Comics.HERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT HULK CAN DO!HULK CAN HEAL HIMSELF! GOOD FOR MORE SMASHING!NO ONE CANREAD HULK'S MIND. IT BETTER ANGRIER THAT HULK IS!!HULK SEE DEAD PEOPLE!!!HULK NOT TOO SCARED BUT HULK INABILITY TO SMASH MAKES HULK ANGRY!!!HULK FIND PLACE WHERE HE BECOME HULK! THAT BECAUSE HE FIND CORPSE OFEVILFUTURE HULKWHO TRY TO KILL HULK! HULK IS ONLY HULK! NO WANT TWO HULKS!AAAAAAAARRRRRGHGGGGGHGHHHH!!!!PUNY BANNER KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT GAMMA RADIATION! EVEN MORE THANPUNY STRETCHY MANANDPUNY STUPID DOCTOR DOOM!!! INGOOD COMIC FOR KIDSPUNY BANNER ANDMETAL MANARE SMARTEST ONES.BUT NOT AS GOOD AS HULK!!!!!!!!!!!!!TranslationAlthough hisSuper Strengthis his most obvious power, the Hulk also possesses aHealing Factor, resistance to psychic powers (including telepathy), and the ability to see ghosts and apparitions. 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. While I happen to be a highly successful scientist, I have no superpowers in my default state. However, I'm also emotionally repressed, and the big guy likes to come out at moments like... uh oh...PUNY BANNER IS SMART BUT NOT STRONG LIKE HULK!GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!Savage Hulk:THIS IS BEST HULK! STRONGEST THERE IS! HULKTALK GOOD TOO! HULK WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE BECAUSE PEOPLE NO LIKE HULK, BUTHULK WANT FRIENDSAND BE LOVED TOO, WHICH MAKE HULK GO ON ADVENTURE SOMETIMES. 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'” 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!!!

After one team up withThe Incredible Herculesin Olympus, Herc said there were two paths we could take to get back to Earth. One path was short and safe, while the other was long and filled with murderous giants.

I provoked him when he initially refused. I know I had no chance of beating aSkyfather, but I hoped offering myself up would be enough. I was wrong, and the only reason he let Hercules and my family rescue me was because he knew just being the Hulk was worse than any punishment he could come up with.The Brute/The Big Guy:WHEN HULK IS FORCED TO JOIN PUNY HEROES, LITTLE MEN THINK ANDHULK SMASH!Catchphrase:HULK SAY "HULK SMASH" AND "HULK STRONGEST THERE IS" A LOT!!!!!

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. I know I might not have Banner's academic knowledge and I'm not quite as strong as any of the green fellas, but I still got a pretty solid head on my shoulders and a mean right hook.

Planning to extend the current description, aiming to write it in a similar format to a news article/opinion columnI'd also advise that dialogue should aim to be written to be more original, it's better to focus on emulating Jameson's character and seeing how he'd act when demonstrating his trope page than to simply quote his greatest hits, as great as they are"Who is Spider-Man?"...he's a CRIMINAL, that's who he is! 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. Simmons, perhislongertrackrecord. However, the voices ofPaul Kigman,Robert F. Simon,William Woodson,Edward Asner,Daran NorrisorDarin De Paulwill adequately work as alternatives, along with others who I'm sure I've missed. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and please, enjoy the p— WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE COFFEE MACHINE'S BROKEN!? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T—GET 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…Spider-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’s 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. The fastest way to get yourself outta this job...make fake pictures.One Bruckner kid tried itand bit the dust. And for GOOD REASON.George Jetson Job Security: THAT'S ENOUGH BACKCHAT!YOU'RE FI— wait, you don't work for me.YOU'RE UN-FIRED!NOW GET A REAL JOB, TROPERS!Going for the Big Scoop: I made a name for myself as a reporter doing this. 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? How 'bout "scram"? Or two words, "Scram, kid!"Or seventeen, "Get off of this page in two-point-three seconds before I staple you to a flagpole!" What are you waiting for, Chinese New Year?!

LISTEN UP, NERDS AND NERDETTES! This is myself-demonstratingpage. As scintillating as it is, you don't want to link to it when you're referring to me. UseCharacters.Batman The Jokerinstead—unless youreallywant the mods (who else?) to get up close and personal with you. Wouldn't that be fun?And by the way...For full effect, why don'tcha read this in the voice ofMark Hamill,Jeff Bennett,Jack Nicholson,Heath Ledger,Jared Leto,Joaquin Phoenix,Barry Keoghan,Troy Baker,John Dimaggio,Kevin Michael Richardson,Michael Emerson,Brent Spiner,Richard Epcar,Alan Tudyk,Zach Galifianakis,Cameron Monaghan, orCesar Romero? Whichever strikes your fancy. I'm flexible that way. Heck, if you're feelingspeculative, feel free to read this in the voice ofTim Currytoo, or evenBrad Dourif. And for those of you Spanish speakers over in Latin America reading this translated, reading this in the voice ofRubén LeonorJosé Antonio Macíaswill surely help remedy the"Blind Idiot" Translation!"I've been putting smiles on facesnote, whether they wanted any or not,since 1940!"noteAnd for those obsessive freaks who reallymustknow who I've got mounted on the wall behind me, introducing clockwise from the left:I've got Ol' Ozzy Cobblepot,the newly-extinct Last Son of Krypton,that animal-loving freakshow,one of Batsy's many kids(admit it, you're hoping that'sJason's head there, aren't you?),Jimmy Gordon's little girl(hope that wheelchair's comfy for ya, Barb!),the wonderful(a term I useveryloosely)woman who's honest and truthful to the end,and, of course, the Dork Knight himself!Got all that? Good. Now quit dawdling about on this footnote and get to all of the other juicy bits on my page already!General discussion on how to deal with pages like this is at <a class='urllink' href='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13011051780A35566200'>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13011051780A35566200<img src="https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif" height="12" width="12" style="border:none;" /></a>"The Joker is the kind of guy who will come up with a plan to kidnap a scientist and have them create a super-pheromone that will attract little old ladies to a warehouse so Joker can feed them into a woodchipper and use the resulting paste to make counterfeit money so he can buy fuel for his ice rocket that will freeze the entire city which will cause everyone to flock to his beverage vendors who will sell them hot chocolate laced with a mutagen designed to drive everyone insane."—Shamus Young, Stolen Pixels(who put it quite well, if I do say so myself...)Well!Finally got my own page, did I?'bout time! I was created inThe '40s, for Pete's sake! I've been around way longer thanSuperham'scousin! Why'd SHE get her own page first?!noteRhetorical. I know exactlywhat you're all going to say.Weelll, it's nottoobad, I guess... at least I can still gloat toLexyabout getting my own page first... As forthat guy with the yellow ring...? He onlywisheshe was half as scary as me!Oh, you were looking for information on moi? I'm flattered, really, but, uh...SHOULDN'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM ALREADY?!All right, all right, fine.Here'sMy Card(from the bottom of the deck of course) and the lowdown...I am theMonster Clownhiding under your bed!noteEeew, you might need to clean out the dust from under there, chap.Of course, atruefan would want all the gory details fleshed out, yes? 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 — 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— '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…and 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?

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!

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— 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...◊All 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 — 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— 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◊. 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…"Bang!" Flag Gun: Gotcha! Ah, that one never gets old…though 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 — 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— and about fifteen skyscrapers to blow up before sunrise. Ciao.Break the Comedian: EvenIhave my limits — 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 cliché 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 — 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.◊Literally, 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…? HA! NO! Turns out I was his twin brother the whole time! Jerry turned Jerri into me! Soft-spoken sure, but still dramatic.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CollectiveIdentity' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CollectiveIdentity'>Collective Identity</a>: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 — 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 — so much so that the only folks you say are worse than me on more occasions arethe cardinal vampireandOl' Scratchthemselves! I’m not at all angry — 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,◊even 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 Clubà 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 — the animated me — 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’t 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—and ONLY—Arch-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 —fall 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?◊Empowered 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’t 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◊thatRed 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 — 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 — 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 — 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’s 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.

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.

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—and 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◊, 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.◊Heck, 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. Those squeamish little meddlers at the ESRBwouldn't let me cut loose and carve some smiles that time! But I showed them...ol' Shangyusedmy Fatalityin all its uncensored, gory magnificence inhis next turn 'round the block!Hannibal Lecture: They named this gag afterHannibal?! 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! Well, sometimes.But backthen, I definitely was.

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 — 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 — 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—tears 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— 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—for 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—have 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"◊.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 just a bit. But aside from that, have you forgotten who I am?I AM NOT AFRAID OF THOSE LOSERS!I am crazy enough to take on Batman! ... butthe IRS? 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. Never did quite see what the pole was for...Humanoid Abomination: One theory Scott Snyder throws out there.Humans Are Bastards: Oh, we certainly are. People tend to claim thatI'm the best in that category◊, 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 façade. 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 — 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◊.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— 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–Face 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 —I 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 maître 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 — 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 — 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 — 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". AsOl' Frysaid, fish-half on top is the way to go.A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read:Scary in there, isn't it,green-jeans?Mind Rape: I do these so often you could almost say they're my specialty! (Well, aside from jokes, of course.) Made 'em the happy souls they are today...My most famous instance of this occured inThe Killing Joke. Thanks,Alan!Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Two words.Tim Drake.Ain't I a stinker?There was also a certainDetective Ethan Bennett. 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 exposé 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.◊Monster 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... (Maybe I should ask ol' Eddie Nygma —he seems to have this problem alot...)Kick the Morality Pet:Although... I am gettin' quite tired of her stupid hyenas around the lair... and shehasfoiledmore than a few schemesthroughsheer incompetence...andJiminy Christmas,that insufferable voice of hers! No doubt about it, it's time fora little corporate restructuring!So long, Harl ol' girl!Say "hi" to Bob for me!HAHAHAHAHEEHEEHOOHOOHA!*sniff*...Well, that was fun!Who's for Chinese?More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Depending on who's capturing my fabulous smile on paper,of course!◊Mouthing the Profanity: After Batsy fails to hit me inThe Dark Knightand swerves out of the way, I can be seen mouthing the word "fuck". 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… or it was two cows and a goat? Sometimes it's so confusing…Maaan, 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 — 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— in the"chan"sense of the phrase— 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— 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

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...◊Outside-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.◊Pay 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.Pietà 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.◊And 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◊. Also in thecomic incarnation.◊Oh, 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◊into the ER◊so 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.◊Pistol-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.◊Poke 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 maître 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—I'm just a barrel of laughs, and violence!Prima Donna Director: I still think the movie"The Death of Batman"◊would 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—I 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!◊Robotic Spouse:Honey, I'm home!◊Room 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’s. 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 — 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?◊My very own dashing good looks were modelled on him.Detective Comics #880◊shows what I look like when I'mhigh off my own joker gas.Smug Smiler: Mostly around Bats and Jimmy.Especially Jimmy◊.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—well, 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 — 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 passé 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◊.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 — 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!— 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—thanks,Hank!—and 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: Noël, 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!

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: Sometimes, 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–Face 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: I 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: Oh, 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.

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— 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— 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" — 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—aren'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—such 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’t 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— 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–Face 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◊.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 — though amusingly, I was president years before he was.Übermensch: 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]'''"◊.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!

The Main Man don't like bein' looked at funny, fanboys."The name's Lobo. That's 'L' as in 'lacerate', 'O' as in 'obliterate', 'B' as in 'disemBowel', and 'O' as in, uh, oh, I guess I can use 'obliterate' twice, huh, whaddya think?"—Me,Superman: The Animated Series, "The Main Man"(Best read in the voices ofBrad Garrett,Kevin Michael Richardson,David Sobolov,John DiMaggio, orRyan Hurst.)BURP!Listen up, dweebs! Seein' as how I'm me, it's time I gave ya the real lowdown on the Main Man.Name'sLobo, and I kill people. That ain't my real name, by the way —you 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 — 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. 'Would've made more sense to use good ol'Deadpool, but he wasn't a big name yet. Oh, and Ilike dolphinsbut I hate space penguins. What, ya think that's funny?

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". It was aMoment of Awesome, but as you mighta guessed the Main Man tends to specialize in that sorta thing.Apocalypse How: That one time I found some twerp in a woodenmask....and that time yers truly got paid to geta soul-suckin' book that turned dweebs into satanic zombies...

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.

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—and mine own hand—would 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—a 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 —for what am I if not a villain?— 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 — 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 — innocent, trusting, but still wily as Mischief must be.Unfortunately — 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 — literally. The child-Loki was a copy, but I — 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 — 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 — 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 — so much that I modeledmy new face◊on 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. OrJosé 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 —the Avengers returned to when they defeated me and allowed me to escape! This gave Hiddlestona whole series to depict my gloryonDisney+online streaming — in spite ofpestilencesetbacks — 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– AnimationHulk Vs.Thor: Tales of AsgardFilm– 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.◊Due 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 Ragnarök, 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◊. 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◊I 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… 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◊on his likeness. It isn't without its difficulties, however, as I had to move my apartment once after beingrepeatedly confused◊for 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 — thrice my size, in fact; apparently giantism skips a generation — nor particularly fond of me. Our relationships are rather… 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… 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 — I even gave her back herElemental Powers, as she had been depowered at the time. When I was… persuaded… 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 likeMjölnir. Or of the fact her outfit was basically a feminized version of my brother's…Deadpan 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…Distaff 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…Doppelgänger 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…Evil 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… 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… 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◊Eric 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–Face 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…LIES!!!!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…more 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… 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… 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◊" to "handsome young lad◊."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."◊Psychopathic 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… 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… 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◊.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—"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!

The Master of Magnet!...ism.Discussion on how to deal with pages like this is <strong><a class='urllink' href='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13011051780A35566200&amp;page=1'>here<img src="https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif" height="12" width="12" style="border:none;" /></a></strong>"I am no hero. Merely a man who has seen and done and endured what can never be forgotten or forgiven."—Uncanny 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 — 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 naiveté, 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 — who had been well aware of what I was up to, but had up to now condoned it — 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— 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 – 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 – 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◊occasionsI 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.…But 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–Face Revolving Door: I shall always do what needs to be done to safeguard the future of mutantkind — 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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManipulativeBastard' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManipulativeBastard'>Manipulative Bastard</a>May–December 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 — fellow mutant and fellow Jew — 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.* <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeverBeHurtAgain' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeverBeHurtAgain'>Never Be Hurt Again</a>Never 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 naïve 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 – 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◊), 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.Übermensch: 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 — 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" — 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!

Not cool, man!Check out these radical tropes!Battle Rapping:Me and my bros rapped against the artists whom we got our names.They didn't sound as smooth as our raps.Berserk Button: Make fun of me all you want, I'm used to it, butneverthreaten my familyBeware the Silly Ones: I may be the silliest Turtle, I can kick your butt just like my bros and Casey.Bizarre Taste in Food: I love using different ingredients to make some awesome pizza.Brilliant, but Lazy: Training is important, but I'd much rather eat pizza and read my comics, or watch TV. 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. Donnie needs to speak English, though.Trademark Favorite Food: Me and my bros sure love some pizza. Papa Gino's is one of my favorites!The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Me and my bros tried tofight it out!I failed...Oh, and Leo won.Wrong Genre Savvy: In the 2003 show, I based my assumptions on what was happening as though I was in a horror movie. I was in a kids show, so I was always wrong.

[I am] a man you cannot touch, directly or indirectly. A mutant you will not remember as soon as I am out of sight, and I will be out of sight as soon as I declare it to be so.Youcannot touch me...But I amall over you."—Me, giving a pretty amazingBadass BoasttoX-Man... right before he kicked my ass. 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 – 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'être 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.

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… 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.

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 PérezandRaúl 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–Face 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.

(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. Andthat blasted clownis here as well. Not the one I'm used to, but nonetheless, Ihateclowns, and the Dark Knight has warned me about him.Everything comes at a price, troper. Remember that.'90s Anti-Hero: You're stating the obvious, troper,bad publicityincluded.Abusive Parents: I have my mother to thank for making me into what I would become in life.All-Encompassing Mantle: My crimson cloak with itssignature high collarcovers my entire body, save for my head.Anti-Hero: Batman and the Justice League have a strictno-kill policy. I don't. Just to be clear,the people I kill have it coming.Arch-Enemy: Violator how many times do I have to kill him?Ascended Demon: For a time, I gained power that was superior to that of the Almighty and Satan. It wasn't permanent, though, but I used it to stop the Apocalypse.The Atoner: I've done many bad things working under Wynn. I consider this my second chance.Badass Shroud: My shroud is an extension of me. I can even use it as a weapon, or either conceal or disguise myself. Very handy in extreme situations.Badass Normal: In life, I was a government assassin.Now, as a Hellspawn, I retained my unique set of skills.Bad Powers, Good People: My powers have been gifted to me by Malebogia himself. Yet, I am not evil.Bed Trick: I was desperate to be with Wanda again. Hence, me using the power of the Shroud to disguise myself as Terry if only for a single night with Wanda.Big Brother Instinct: Hmm... back when I was alive, I had a younger brother. The local drug dealer sexually assaulted him, so in revenge, I stabbed the fucker to death.He was my first kill.BFS: For a time, the Almighty had gifted me with a massive sword. I would later use it to trap both Him and the devil with it.Big Good: Slowly am getting albeit more darker than most.Blood Knight: If the forces of Heaven and Hell want a fight, they got one.Body Horror: I'm nothing more than a glorified zombie; the end result of being burned to death and left to rot for five years. It's the main reason why I wear a mask.The Cameo: I appeared briefly in a so-called "crossover" involvinga super speedy small blue mammal and his friends. If that story had a more competent writer, I would've been done justice.Cast from Lifespan: Everything comes at a price.That includes my powers. If my powers is spent, then I go back to hell. In order to conserve my energy, I use firearms whenever possible.Chain Pain: They are more than just a fashion statementMy chains can be used as weaponsto rip and tear.The Chessmaster: My finest moment. I played the forces if Heaven and Hell both for chumps, until they fell into my trap.The Cowl: Sinister? Yes. Evil? No.Dark Is Not Evil: I'm an undead assassin with a costume that is for lack of a better term, a living demonic parasite. I did what I did just to get back to Wanda.Dating Catwoman: What is it with me and angelic beings that want to either kill me or kiss me? The first was Jade, a bounty hunter, while the second was Angela, an Hellspawn-hunting Angel. The latter isno longer in my universe.Deal with the Devil: The most well-known aside fromJohnny Blaze.Doom Magnet: According to Cogliostro, evil people are drawn to me like flies to shit.Domestic Abuse: I loved Wanda. I just was not the best husband to her at times. That turned out to be a lie crafted by Malebolgia to drive me to suicide.Driven to Suicide: I did kill myself. Fortunately, it didn't stick, and I returned asOmega Spawn.Faustian Rebellion: (chuckles darkly) Bet Malebolgia didn't expect me to overthrow him in the long run, didn't he?Glowing Eyes of Doom: Green, due in part to the necroplasm flowing within my body.Good is Not Nice: Am I a hero to the helpless? Yes, I am. Do I kill anyone standing in my way? Provided that they are the bad guys, then yes.Guest Fighter: I made my mark inSoulCalibur IIand later,Mortal Kombat 11.Heartbroken Badass: (sighs) If I could take it all back, I would. I would have gotten out of that life sooner. Had that happened,I wouldn't have bargained with Malebolgia. I would still be alive,Not an undead rotting corpseburned beyond recognitionwith this soul-sucking demon for a uniform. I would still be married to Wanda, and Cyan would be our daughter. Terry should count his blessings, as I won't lower myself and kill him.

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’s 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—dead parents, losing Uncle Ben—only 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.

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"!

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!"—Thanos,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 – 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– 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—whom I had just saved—rejected 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–Face 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.Übermensch: 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.

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 — 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 —*SNIKT*— 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— sorry —Nick 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 — 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’s 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— 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— 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— 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 — 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— 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 — 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.

, I told you to leave! Hold on, you're not Dennis, are you? What are you here for? Oh, this is one of those "Self-Demonstrating" things is it? Well, if it means that much to you, fine. Here goes.The name's George Wilson. I used to be a mail carrier before I retired. Now I live in relative peace in my house with my wife, Martha. I'd be living in complete peace if not for my neighbour's kid, Dennis Mitchell. All I want is to be able to have a nice quiet retirement, but Dennis always drops by each day and makes sure that doesn't happen!Eh, but deep down, I guess I appreciate Dennis making sure my retired life isn't boring, which would definitely happen if he stopped visiting. Just don't tell him that I said that!I think that's all I got for that. And you might be hearing this in the voice ofeitherPhil HartmanorWalter Matthau. If you're as old as I am, perhaps you're hearing this in the voice of Joseph Kerns.Here's those trope thingies that apply to me:Acrofatic: Don't let my size fool you. I'm capable of amazing feats. I have putting up with Dennis' antics day after day to thank for that.Butt-Monkey: Does it really have to be called that? But besides that, I have suffered quite a lot of painful and embarrassing situations thanks to Dennis.Deadpan Snarker:Really? You don't say.Formerly Fit: When I was young, I was actually quite skinny.Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: I'm the Grumpy to Dennis' Gleeful. I just want some peace and quiet, but that isn't easy when Dennis wants to play with me.Grumpy Old Man: You'd be grumpy too if you had to live next toDennis!Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Well, as much as I wish Dennis would give me some peace and quiet, deep down, I do like him.My God, What Have I Done?: In the 1993 film, Dennis told me that my house had been robbed, causing me to miss the blooming and death of a rare flower I waited 40 years 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? What? Isn't that something you call Japanese teenage girls who act like brats but have a softer side? Hey, why is this here?!

Describe Mr. Popo he-OH GOD,GET IT OFF,GET IT OFF!(Everything else is best read in the voice ofLanipator)That's better. 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 — 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.

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. ¬_¬Agent 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: 天下布武 (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–Sister 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: 大六天魔王 (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.

, 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—"I am satisfied with my care..."

What is this thing? TV Tropes? I have no idea what this is supposed to be.Russell:It's a website that lets you to see people's information and characteristics Mr. Fredricksen. As for this page, this is where you can describe yourself to people.Carl:Describe myself? Why on earth do I need to do that?Russell:Well, so people can understand you even more of course, and because I heard that your voice actor, Ed Asner had passed away this year. So-Carl:You want me to leave you with some parting words before I pass away too?Russell:Yes, Mr. Fredricksen. Sorry that it took this long.Carl:You know what, it's alright...(Best read in the voice of the lateEd Asner. If you see Russel saying something, imagine Jordan Nagai saying those words)If you want to learn about myself then read these tropes carefully:And the Adventure Continues: I finally completed the dream of moving our dream home over to paradise falls. I then finally decided to look at the book Ellie left me. I realized... I never had to... the marriage, it was an adventure to her. I finally decide to help save Russell from Muntz. Then after he fell, I took his airship to go forth on my new adventure.Berserk Button: Don't mess with my house, or my dog, or anything that belonged to my dear Ellie!Broken Pedestal: Muntz... I looked up to you as a kid but now you're trying to murder anyone just to get Kevin? I never felt more devastated in my life.Childhood Friend Romance: Oh, Ellie... My late wife. We met all those years ago and got married for so many years before...Determinator: My goal was to move our dream home to Paradise Falls and I wouldn’t let anything stop me.Disabled Badass: I need my hearing aid (Adjusts them a bit) sorry, couldn't hear properly... to hear well. Didn't stop me from being able to adjust my house midstorm.Law of Inverse Fertility: Well, Me and Ellie were a type 1 couple. That news of being told that our child miscarriaged? We never truly recovered from that.Loony Friends Improve Your Personality: At first, Russel and Dug got on my nerves. But they not only helped me survive my adventure in Paradise Falls, they helped me become a better man.Oh, Crap!:Carl:Did you realize how horrified I was when I realized you stowed away on my house?Russell:I didn't know you would be taking the house up to the skies! I just waited on the porch hoping you would let me earn my "Assisting the Elderly" Wilderness badge!And back during my childhood while Ellie and I were still young, I still remember the time when I actually screamed as I fell from the attic trying to get my balloon. I should have known that plank was going to give way.Perpetual Frowner: Before my adventure in Paradise Falls I spent much of my time after Ellie's death like this.Carl:Ok and now what's this?Russel:The outro Mr. Fredricksen. It's useful if you have any last words to say.Carl:Well... thank you...son.

(for full effect, read it in the voice ofDavid Spade, orJesús Barreroif you're in Latin America)Just look at that handsome devil.Now you might be thinking "shouldn't you be busy ruling a country instead of wasting your time writing a Self Demonstrating article on alame wiki for peasants and nerds?"Well it might seem confusing now, but trust me if you go back a ways everything will start to make sense...The name's Kuzco. 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 “the only Inca” in Quechua), I’m 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’ve 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’m 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. Go home...

(For the best possible listening experience, please feel free to listen in the voice ofJerry Orbach,Jeff Bennett, orEwan McGregorfor those looking to enjoy the film versions of the character. For those looking for the Broadway experience, the voice of Gary Beach is best recommended.)Whatever it is you require, I will deliver with style and a smile!Lumiere, please! 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 chère 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 maître d’ (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, "Lumière" 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—! I'll...I'll break down the door!Lumière: 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—(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!

(for full effect, read it in the voice of Martha Wentworth)Aren’t I hideous?Welcome to my marvellously malicious page! What’s that? A horribly written article about a hideously ugly hag? Oh, you are too kind! And I suppose those of you who live under rocks (oh, if only I could live under a rock, it looks so dark and miserable) are wondering who I am.Well I am the Magnificent, Marvellous Mad Madam Mim! I am the most powerful witch in the world!I’ve got more magic in my little finger than that dope Merlin does in his whole body! That sap even wastes his time being good and helpful! Where’s the fun in that?I prefer to do spend my time practicing black magic and causing trouble for no good reason (why would I do it if there was a good reason? What’s 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’t 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’s Duel. I turned into magnificently monstrous beasts—acrocodile, afox, achicken, anelephant, atiger, asnake, arhinoand apurple dragon—to counter the wimpy animals he turned into. I even broke one my own rules with my dragon transformation (what’s the point in having rules if you aren’t 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—I’ve teamed up with that delightfully repellent witch Magica De Spell on numerous occasions. Ive shown up inHouse of Mouseandof course I wasn’t going to miss the big villain takeover. So of course I deserve my own page! Oh, and if you are reading this, Merlin, just remember that I got a page before you!Now, let’s begin! Oh I hope these are repulsive!Adaptational Heroism: Sadly, I fell prey to this in some of the comics. I don’t 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’s so good and kind that it burns me up!Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: And don’t you forget it!Berserk Button: I hate horrible wholesome sunshine!Card-Carrying Villain: As if you didn’t notice. I’m 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’m so glad you noticed! I’ve been working at it for years.Fatal Flaw: Some folks say I’m too overconfident. No, my only flaw is that my opponents always get good luck..which in my book is bad!Faux Affably Evil: Don’t be fooled by my friendly attitude in my first scene—I’m 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’t call me “Mad Madam Mim” 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’t add much to the film’s story. But did you really want to watch goody-two-shoes Merlin for the whole picture? I didn’t think so.Psychopathic Womanchild: One of my best—oh, dear I meant to say worst—qualities.Reality Warper: Merlin can do this too, but I use my powers for more sinister purposes.Scaled Up: As I’ve 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’m glad about that, since losing to Merlin is embarrassing enough as is!Solitary Sorceress: In the comics, I have a cat, but he’s 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’s the fun in that? I prefer to be an ugly old creep.Villain Song: “The Marvellous Madam Mim” is a song by me and about me!Would Hurt a Child: I did indeed try to devour Arthur. But he said Merlin saw something good in him! I can’t have that!Now begone and let me go gather some toads and cobwebs! Supper is gonna be good…

"There is no charge for awesomeness, but a free helping of dumplings would beseverelycool!"For maximum awesomeness, read this page in the voices of eitherJack BlackorMick Wingert."Am I the son of a panda? The son of a goose? A student? A teacher? Turns out... I'm all of them. I am the Dragon Warrior."— Me to General Kai(Kung Fu Panda 3)Hey, there, what's up!? 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! MONKEY, GET BACK HERE!

(By order of the Child Detection Agency, you are to read this page in the voice of Bob Peterson. Failure to do so will constitute a code 2319.)I'm always watching. Always...Roz is a character from—The doors burst open to reveal an army of CDA agents as they surround the room.TV tropers! Stay where you are! Number One wants to talk to you!Roz enters the room.Hello tropers.Two and a half years of undercover work were almost wasted when you chose towaste your time on this website. Of course, without your help, I never would have been able to get a self demonstrating page going. So I suppose I should be thanking you...for once. Now, seeing as this operation is highly classified, I have no intention of disclosing all the details about me, but I will say this; so long assomeviciouscriminallunaticsdecidetoactoutofline, the CDA will be there to put a stop to it. We're always watching them. Always watching...always...For a brief overview of who I am, my name isRoz, administrative official of Scare Floor F in an undercover capacity for the Child Detection Agency, the organization responsible for preventing human children from entering the monster world. 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. If only Wazowski put half his efforts into filing his paperwork on time.But as I said, this is all classified. So all the details I can disclose will go below. You'll find instructions on how to file your paperworkproperly. And Wazowski, if you ever end up on here,pay attention to this section.I'll be watching you Wazowski. Always watching...always...The pink tropes go to accounting. The fuchsia tropes go to purchasing. Ivory tropes go to your immediate supervisor. AndI. Get. The Goldenrod. Goldenrod!Always Identical Twins: My sister Roze was given my old job upon my persuasion of the company board. Aside from a different shirt, a bit of hair dye, and no glasses, she's my spitting image. Wazowski won't miss having me around with her in charge.Big Good: My demeanor aside, I act only in the best interest of the security and safety of Monstropolis. So anyone on this website is advised to not try anything. My men are on standby 24 hours a day. And we're always watching...always...Chekhov's Gunman: The files on the Waternoose incident only had my involvement twice in. Only at the end of the incident do I reveal myself.The Cameo: DuringWazowski and Sullivan's college days, I had to clean up a mess they made, promising that we would be watching them. Always watching...ClerkFrom DVD bonus material: "The pink copy [of your carbonless copy paper scare receipt] goes to accounts receivable. The fuchsia copy goes to purchasing. Ivory goes to your immediate supervisor.And I! Get! The goldenrod!Goldenrod!"Cool Old Lady: I amnotdisclosing my age. But I'm not in charge of the most covert operation in the entire Monstropolis area for no good reason.Deadpan Snarker: "Your stunned silence isveryreassuring."Fauxshadowing: Upon closer inspection of the Waternoose incident, it appears my involvement in the conspiracy is as a partaker in it, not the one working to bring it down. You may note that Randall Bogg'sLeitmotifplays when I remind Wazowski to file his paperwork, or how I slam his fingers when he asks for the missing child's door key. If you found such actions effective, congratulations for yourastute observations. You have only proven the need for the CDA to monitor this website more closely.Foreshadowing: You may note that, upon the CDA's arrival to the factory, I closed the window to my office. Any interaction with my officers may have proven risky to my undercover efforts.Four-Temperament Ensemble: Under the Leukine classification, my efforts to expose Waternoose and Randall Boggs showed my commitment to Monstropolis' security, though I was not directly involved in the entirety of the incident involving Sullivan and Wazowski.The Gadfly: Filming the fictional documentary behind the Waternoose incident gave me a chance to lighten up a little. I never said I couldn't have a little fun.Gonk: I do stick out in comparison to other monsters, considering my appearance.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I never did say I enjoyed the hardships of preventing crime in Monstropolis. It tested my sanity to have to deal with Wazowski's failure to file his paperwork on time. But I am firmly on the side of justice, and ensured Sullivan said his goodbyes to the girl.Late-Arrival Spoiler: If you don't want my true identity exposed, don't view the files on Sullivan and Wazowski's college days before you see their scaring files. Or better yet, don't read this page.The Mole: As noted in the debriefing, I had spent two and a half years undercover at Monsters, Incorporated to expose a kidnapping plot by Randall Boggs, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.Nepotism: I had the board of directors behind Monsters, Incorporated give my old undercover job as clerk to my sister, Roze, after we busted Waternoose and Sullivan and Wazowski took over. She's better fit for the job than other examples of this, though.Non-Mammalian Hair:How observant.Only One Name: The rest of my name is classified. And if you want to stay out of monster jail, I suggest you don't push it.Perpetual Frowner: There's not much room for joy in my life...comes with the job.Pet the Dog: The child who ended up in our world was far from guilty of the trouble Waternoose caused. It wouldn't have been right to send her home without saying goodbye.Reasonable Authority Figure: My organization may be paranoid about a lot of things (it's our job), but as long as all parties cooperate, I'm willing to meet them halfway.Sulley:I just...want to send her home.Roz:...Very good. Bring me a door shredder.Sulley:You mean...you mean I can't see her again?Roz:That's the way it has to be. I'll give you five minutes.Sitcom Archnemesis: Wazowski, he never filed his paperwork on time. Beyond that, he always did seem to have a distaste for me. Good thing my sister will straighten him out.Strong Family Resemblance: Wazowski thought Roze was so similar to me, I was simply going back in under disguise as a fake sister. Hah.The sound of the door shredder is heard as the last bit of this page is cut down.None of this ever happened gentlemen. And Idon'twant to see any paperwork on this.

It's advertised asthe #1 way to waste your time!"Grievous:"WHAT?I can deal with it on myown."*punches OOM-19*Hello there.I am known asGrievous, though I was born Qymaen jai Sheelal.noteSome of abruption Doctrinecall me asspace generalI am a proud Warrior of the Kaleesh, apprentice of Count Dooku and Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army. I am feared by the Republic's generals for my strength and agility, for Dooku has trained me in their Jedi arts. My lightsaber collection is always growing... although there isoneI particularly *cough*have my eyes on.So many tropes to add to my collection!Adaptational Wimp: Despite the glorious victories I have achieved, Dooku often mocks me for never living up to my peak performance duringthe Battle of Hypori. It is most agrievancewhen I am reminded ofbeing unableto killSkywalker'sPadawan(though admittedly,I was simply toying with the little one), and beingcaptured by those Gungans.Arch-Enemy: While I will always be the enemy of any Jedi, I have clashed the most specifically with General Kenobi.Badass Cape: When not in combat, I usually adorn myself with a grey and crimson cloak to store my collection. It is decorated on the back with a symbol of the Kaleesh.Bad Boss: I have little patience for those flimsy B1 battle droids, nor for the Separatist leadership for that matter.The Collector: The lightsaber of a fallen Jedi will always make a fine addition to my collection.I am also no stranger to Kyber Bricks.Cyborg: This new form allows for me to easily best the Jedi in combat.Expecting Someone Taller:After I kidnapped the Supreme Chancellor, I told Anakin Skywalker that someone with his fame would normally be older than he is. Skywalker then informed me that my height did not live up to his expectations.The Heavy: Dooku and Sidious have not ventured into as many battles as I have.Hero Killer: My ideal galaxy is one cleaned of those Jedi filth. I am well-known for trying to make this dream a reality with my own four hands.Insistent Terminology: I may be aCyborg, but let me make one thing clear:I! Am! NOT! A DROID!Just You and Me and My GUARDS!: My legion of MagnaGuards is much more elegant in battle than a regular droid could ever hope for. They may perform the dirty work for when I need not.Large Ham: I was taught by Dooku to be dramatic in hopes of striking fear into the heart of the Republic.Laser Sword: An entirecollection, in fact.Multi-Armed and Dangerous: My cybernetic body has two arms which can split into four. This is always a great advantage to emplore against the Jedi! *laughinginto coughing*SkeleBot 9000: The cybernetic upgrades I have received make me resemble a Jedi I have put to rest. I am most glad you find it intimidating.Vader Breath: WhileI have never metthisLord Vader, I gained *cough* an unpleasant coughing problem when upgrading into my cybernetic body. This was only amplified whenMaster Windu crushed my remaining organs, lungs included.White Mask of Doom: The faceplate on my armor is meant to resemble the skulls worn by Kaleesh warriors.Would Hit a Girl: *laughs* Yes, a true warrior welcomes all challengers! My mission to the world of Dathomir may have posed difficult had this not been the case.Run, tropers, run. You have only prolonged the inevitable.

"What do you see, Troper, what do you see?"(For an authentic experience, it is recommended that you read this page in the voice of SirAnthony Hopkins.Brian CoxandMads Mikkelsenare also acceptable, if you feel so inclined.)Hello, Troper.My name is Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and I will be your host this evening. You may be familiar with me from the bestselling series of horror-crime novels written by Thomas Harris. You may also be familiar with my work in the field of psychiatry, my patronage of the arts, and my career as aSerial Killerwith what you might call a...unique taste.Tropes that pertain to me include:Affably Evil: I shall always make an effort to be polite to company, providing that said company is polite in return. As long as you are not rude, we can have a perfectly cordial dinner that won't includeyouon the menu.Battle Rapping: For reasons even I shan't attempt to comprehend, I onceparticipated in a musical contest of witagainstthat overrated hack from Whitechapel. While I admit I may have let my temper get the best of me and allowed some vulgarities to slip out, I acquitted myself with the expected refinement and panache while my oafish thug of an opponent could barely make the effort to insult me at all.Beam Me Up, Scotty!: Contrary to what you might have heard quite often, I did not say "Hello, Clarice" in particular during our first meetings.Berserk Button: The tragic death of my sister and insulting her memory, or endangering Ms. Starling, will provoke arather strongreaction from me.Even Evil Has Standards: Let us come to an understanding. I am an unrepentant murderer, one who does not regret killing and will not hesitate to kill again, and I will never deign to pretend otherwise. But I have no tolerance for thedegeneracyof Multiple Miggs, thedepravityof Mason Verger, thebuffooneryof Dr. Chilton, or thestubborn rudenessof Mr. Krendler.Noble Demon: Perhaps to most of the general populace I am seen as the latter, but you cannot deny the former as I was born in nobility.I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner.

Hey, guys. My name is Napoleon Dynamite and I have a flipping awesome TV Tropes self-demonstrating page! I had a heckuva movie back in 2004 and I got my own freaking cartoon back in 2012. The earlier became a big hit and everybody loves to quote from me.All the freaking tropesAmbiguous Disorder: I might be retarded, or in politically flipping correct speech, "autistic".Battle Rapping:I once rappedagainst the person who shares my name,Napoléon Bonaparte.Berserk Button: When someone throws away my tots, I lose my spit.Blatant Lies: I actually do have good numbchuck skills, I'm not lying.The Cameo: For the 2005 MTV Movie Awards, I dressed up as Batman.Catchphrase:"Gosh!""Frigging idiot!"Cloud Cuckoo Lander: I made drawings of ligers and I talked about Lake Loch Ness for school.Gosh Dang It to Heck!: I rather freaking speak this than say cruddy words that hurt others feelings.Groin Attack: I thought Pedro’s bike was cool until I got racked ! Oh! It hurt my package so bad! Also my brother’s Time Machine was a piece of crap that ELECTROCUTED MY BALLS!No Social Skills: Aside from Pedro, I don't get along as much.Simpleton Voice: I may have hit puberty early, which is why I have a dang deep voice.Trademark Favorite Food: I sure love some tater tots.Terrible Artist: My drawings aren't crap.

I'm The Rickhead,and I say it because you think it. The fuck nugget who thought that what I needed a page of my own should be banned from this website. No, banned from life and be goaded to kill himself through twitter, because he thinks he can just follow me around and record my life so thoroughly that he can judge me by what things I do that some brainless Christian D-bags did on the Megaplex. He probably didn’t even giveThe ReviewersandJesus, Bro!a five out of five score like those child rapists in the Dove Foundation. That offends me, andbeing offended on the internet is the worst thing that could ever happen to anybody, you beta-cucks!Here are some tropes that I made more interesting for being in them.Appeal to Force: God works for me, bitches! I was able tomake anyone who downvoted me to burst into flames by praying it could happen.Bestiality Is Depraved: How can it be "depraved?" All I said was that we should have sex with monkeys because we all just evolved from them. That's all.Can't Take Criticism: I don't take criticism, Imakecriticism! Besides,those people who down-voted my videos had it coming!Embarrassing Last Name: Don't say that name ever again.I mean it!Hollywood Atheist: All I ever do it tell those snobby bigoted Christian how they should live their lives and that they should kill themselves for being different from me. That is until I converted, then that means that it was all true,because I was the one who said it.Taking the Heat: Santa Jesus thought he would get me to take the place for his stupid bet! Dick! So of course I did, like the macho selfless true-messiah that I am.Vomit Discretion Shot: Some Spanish dick dared to pray before he ate dinner while I was sitting across the room from him. How else could I have responded?

A Jedi Master I am, for my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. For hundreds of years I have trained Jedi to master the Force. For knowledge and defense only, never for attack, as protectors and ambassadors of the Galactic Republic we are.Some of my Jedistudentsfell to theDark Sideof the Force — quicker, easier, more seductive... Anger, fear, aggression... Easily these feelings flow, consume these students they did. Protect the galaxy from the return of the Sith I could not, blinded by their clever scheming I have been.Encoded into at least one Holocron, a record of my training was, though destroyed the known example was.May the Force be with these tropes:Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence:In death, this I have achieved.The Anti-Nihilist: Hard to believe, hm?As I told Whie, though there are times I wonder if the Force has no greater hope for the galaxy, a difference it makes not. Living life to the fullest nonetheless, and relishing in life, that is the true path to the Force, hm?Attack Reflector: Deflect Force Lightning, I can.Badass Adorable: Cute I have been called. Stop me from defeating Count Dooku and fighting on even terms with Palpatine, it does not.Barefoot Sage: Wise, some consider me to be. Wear shoes, I do not.Berserk Button: "Baby snatchers" the Jedi arenot! Important that Jedi training start in childhood it is!Characterization Marches On: Hard to believe it is, that I can actually relax and play around when not so serious. Everywhere else, grim I do seem. Whenfirst I appeared, I acted this way to test Luke. Additionally,happy I was to show my looser side to Scout and the others.Combat Parkour: My fighting style. Ataru it is called. Necessary it is for me to fight larger opponents.The Fundamentalist: Jedi should be trained from childhood, I strongly believe.Guest Fighter: Inanother universe, I arrived. In the page image, you can see.Lack of Empathy: Exactly the right phrase, this is not. Dismissive of other's concerns and emotions, people say I am. Because I feel a Jedi must temper their emotions to avoid the dark side, I do this. Very old, I am, and dwell on those I have lost, I cannot.Little Green Men: A literal little green man am I. Judge me by my size, do you?Martial Pacifist: Only when it is necessary do I fight. Peaceful solutions do I prefer.Memetic Mutation/Ron the Death Eater: Depicted as Ketamine-addicted murderous sociopath in parodic ASMR videos, I am. True, these memes are clearly not. Take pleasure in murder or spice, I do not.Mysterious Past: Detail my past, I will not.Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When an emotional crisis, someone is suffering, only make things worse, platitudes will.Learn this the hard way, I did.Obfuscating Dementia: Pretend that gone my mind was, in order to test young Skywalker's patience during our first meeting. Even my identity, I concealed at first.Old Master: For eight hundred years, have I trained Jedi.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Take me for nothing but aStrange-Syntax Speaker, do you, hmmm? Well, I do notalwaysdo that. Because sometimes I need to make myself clear.Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Size matters not. Look at me. Once again, judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Besides, typical for my people, this stature is.A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil:Count Dooku I trained, until turned to the Dark Side he did.Narrowly averted, this was, with my former Padawan Ikrit. Bury his lightsaber after barely stopping himself from murder, he did.Really 700 Years Old: Over 900 years old, I am. Long-lived, my species is.50 years old, an infant is.Strange-Syntax Speaker:Famous examples of Object-Subject-Verb word order my lines have become. Great debate there is, over whether this trait of mine a subject ofFlanderization, has been, for I have often shown that Icanspeak with "normal" syntax... When choose to I do.On your world, written/Five retro-style playsare where/SpeakHaiku, I do.Trickster Mentor: Wise a Jedi should be to see when I am merely playing.

So there I was...This series is not written byBrandon Sanderson. 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. For every one you buy, we donate money to the Alcatraz Smedry Wildlife Fund For Buying Alcatraz Smedry Cool Stuff. You can even use it as a coaster.Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians(2007)Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones(2008)Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia(2009)Alcatraz Versus the Shattered Lens(2010)Alcatraz Versus the Dark Talent(2016)

I don’t know why you clicked on my page. Are you sure you weren’t trying to visit someone else’s?Really? Well, you’re probably wasting your time. But while you’re here, I guess I can tell you a bit about myself. Just don’t blame me if you don’t like what you hear.I’m no one important, really. A distant cousin to a minor lord, too distant and too minor to be important, or anything. I work here at the Wall. It’s cold. The Lord Commander (Qorgyle, not Mormont) knew I would be useless as a ranger, so he made me a steward. It’s a job, I suppose. The retirement plan is awful, but it is what it is.I don’t really get up to a lot of exciting things. That’s not something I resent, but I do wonder why I was the one who got a page. Are you sure Samwell Tarly wasn’t supposed to have the page?At any rate, everything is miserable and we’re all doomed. Some folk call me a pessimist, but that’s just howmy seriesis. Everyone is going to die horribly. Knowing me, I’ll probably be next.I don’t know why you would want to see these tropes, but here you are anyway.Black Comedy: Well, we live in a mad world. If pointing that out is funny, then I’m a mummer.Cosmic Plaything: Nothing ever goes well for me. I just accept it. Not much has happened to me lately, but that just means I’m due for some more misfortune soon.Deadpan Snarker:What? No. Never.Dork Horse Candidate: I ran for Lord Commander, and even got some votes. I would have been an awful Lord Commander, but Janos Slynt would have been worse.The Eeyore: I wish.The gloomy donkey lives a peaceful life, while I have to worry about being murdered by wildings or even my own sworn brothers, and that’s saying nothing of the cold and the Others that thrive on it.Gallows Humor:The stewards’ pagesays “Edd doesn't just whistle while walking past the graveyard. He brings an accordion and asks the occupants if they have any special requests.” But I would be so awful with the accordion that the dead would come back to life to kill me just to get some peace and quiet. Maybe that’s why the Others are coming back.Hidden Depths: A compliment? It’s wasted on me, but thanks anyway.The Squire: Lord Snow probably should have chosen someone else to squire for him, but I’ll do my best.

Image by Greg Hildenbrant(For Vlad Tepes Dracula, aka Castlevania's Dracula,go here. Page can be best read in the voice of either Bela Legosi, Christopher Lee, or Gary Oldman as well as any other Dracula actor you prefer. ThoughNOTAdam Sandler, this is notthatDracula)(We approach a huge spooky-looking castle, mist covering the ground and dark clouds surrounding the area. We soon reach the two front doors which suddenly open rather ominously. To which we meet an elderly-looking but very pale bloke in a suit and cape ensemble holding a lamp)Ah guests, velcome, velcome. I am Count Dracula please enter into my home and leave some of the happiness you bring. I assure you no harm will come to you while you're here, you've after all have come to “interview” me in these “self-demonstrating” pages. I am more than happy to oblige about who I am.As I'm sure you've all heard, I am a Nosferatu, vampyr or “vampire”: a being neither dead nor living, the “undead” as it were. 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 “Count” 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 “visit” 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 “brides”) 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 “eat life” 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 “wives” 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 “end” 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 “never loved” 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 “bring her soul peace” and preventing the latter's transformation with my “death”.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)

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—when 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—when 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.

(For best effect, read this in the voices ofBoris Karloff,Hans Conried,Jim Carrey, orBenedict Cumberbatch)My quitehandsomemug when I'm well-satisfied. Just be careful not to geton my bad side.Every Who down in WhoVille liked Christmas a lot.But the Grinch, who lived just North of WhoVille, did not.The Grinch hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season.Now, please don't ask why; no one quite knows the reason.It could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight.It could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right.But I think the most likely reason of all—SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!People these days, Amiright? Seriously, we don't need to go over that whole song and dance routine! EVERYONE KNOWS IT!!!Wait...WHO DARES DISTURB THE GRINCH! THE AUDACITY! THE NERVE! THE...You should be terrified out of your skull.Kids these days. So desensitized by movies and television.BOO!Nothing? Seriously? Come on Grinch, you must be losing your nerve or something! Uhhh. FINE! Since you've bothered to come all this way, allow me to introduce myself. I am...THE GRINCH! Big, mean, ugly, and hates everything to do with Christmas! A lonely hermit, living in isolation, who cannot STAND the Who's! Naturally, me being me, I decide tostealChristmas right from under their noses! But, after several hours of careful planning, lots of sneaking around, andloadsof aches and pains, I would have ruined their holiday if they hadn't. Started. SINGING! All the noise, all the noise, all the NOISE, NOISE, NOISE! But, something inside me changed that day. I realized that Christmas wasn't so bad after all, and, with my newfound heart and strength, saved the very holiday that I myself stole!

But, I will admit, thefella in all that makeupandthe other cartoon guywere a little bit more on the appealing side. Especiallybaby me! Eat your heart outBaby Yoda!Adaptational Heroism: Yeah, it turns out that the first two stories didn't exactly delve into the whole "Why I Hate Christmas" spiel all that much. 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. I'd give him a hug, but that would be giving myself a hug.Adaptational Ugliness:The Grinch you all known and lovewasn't the prettiest guy around compared to how he looked back in the '50s (but seriously, NOT GREEN?!

That kinda depends on what ya hear. 2-D me stuck out like a sore thumb. Live action me recognized that, so I just hid behind anything that wouldn't give it away. 3-D me at least bothered to put on a beard. Though you'd think we would have heard of hair dye. (Well, 3-D me does buy green hair dye, but even if I could afford hair dye that wasn't my natural green, it's all the rage in Whoville and I'd have to go down there!)Redemption Promotion: I was never a weak guy, but having a bigger heart gave me the strength of twelve Grinches. TAKE THAT SUPERMAN! HOW DO YA LIKE ME NOW?!Red Eyes, Take Warning: When I get nasty, 2-D me LETS HER RIP!Rhymes on a Dime: Way back in the book and the first cartoon show, my speech fits the Seussical rhyme, don't you know.

When I get a wonderful, awful idea, boy do I give out such a grin! Not for the faint of heart. Especially since I've got termites in my smile! Or creepy crawlies.....Super Strength: I don't look like it, but I definitely got some serious ammo in these guns. Especially after I finally understood Christmas.Villain Protagonist: Mean, sneaky, nasty, and the guy you watch tostealChristmas. Well, until I learned otherwise.Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Seriously? You...you didn't notice?Me:Okay... that's all ya need ta know... now... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Or if it's not that, SCRA—I mean, move along! I have Roast Beast to search around here!

If you want to know what a self-demonstrating page is, it is a type of page where characters with unique speech patterns or unique personalities get to describe themselves to the readers.My name is Lemony Snicket, and it is my duty to tell the tale of the Baudelaire orphans and my personal history throughout the story we like to call as, "A Series of Unfortunate Events".Now, you would all know me as the narrator of the story. 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.

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 — 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 —burárum— 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 —burárum— those wood-chopping, tree-killing Orcs!Beware the Nice Ones: I am usually peaceful and seldom hasty. But when I get —burárum— 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 —burárum— 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 -burárum- 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 Círdan), 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 sayburárumwhen 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? Burárum.

Helloooooooooooooooooooo! It is I, Mr. Happy and it is WONDERFUUUUL that I now have a TV Tropes page.I was the thirdMr. Manthat Roger Hargreaves introduced and since then I have been giving smiles to boys and girls of all ages.I hope that reading my character page can cheer you up if you've had a bad day.It's a happy place (it's a happy place), here in TV Tropes (here in TV Tropes)Big Fun: As Roger best put it, I'm fat, round and hap-hap-happy!Catchphrase: In thelate 2000s cartoonand in Vhsandstoryuploader89's narrations of the books, I tend to use the word "WONDERFUUUUL!" a lot.I Call Him "Mr. Happy":*Laughs* Oh no, I've got nothing to dowith that sketch byRobin Williamsabout genitalia, my name is just an indicator of mypersonality.Iconic Sequel Character: Apologies to anyone who forgot that I was the third Mr. Man, what with how iconic I am with people.Nice Guy: In addition to my happy-go-lucky nature, I'm willing to help other people in times of need.O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Believe it or not, in spite of my name, I am not immune to getting sad or angry.Papa Wolf: One of the occasions where I got angry was in Mr. Rude's own story after he made Little Miss Tiny cry. My reaction was rather reminiscent of a parent getting angry whenever their kids were harmed in someway.The Pollyanna: I'm a rather cheery chap who always tries to cheer up other people.

The party would like to remind you that TV Tropes has never existed.Daygreet, proles. Ingsoc is the head party of Oceania, lead by the wise leader Big Brother (praise bb), and the subject of the infamous wrongthink bookNineteen Eighty-Four. We have been at war with Eastasia for a while, (Never mind, It's Eurasia, and always has been.) and are mostcertainly nota totalitarianDystopia. The citizens of Oceania are carefully watched by the party to ensure their security and provide guidance, and those that disagree are carefully guided into the correct path.Ingsoc provides examples of:Ambiguous Situation: Emmanuel Goldstein and Big Brother are definitely real people.Arch-Enemy: Goldstein is the greatest opponent to the advancement of English Socialism!If he's real.Believing Their Own Lies: Outer Party members are correctly able to recognize the glory of Oceania, and spread the great news to the people.Complete Monster: We are the closest thing to aninversionof this as a political ideology humanly imaginable.Doublethink: This trope andall those named by the Partyare plusgood for you, "tropes" themselvesare plusungood.Fascist, but Inefficient: Reprehensible! Ingsoc is the most stable and secure political system humanly imaginable!Forever War: We have always been at war with Eurasia, Eastasia was always our ally.Hypocrite: Absolutely not! There’s nothing wrong with holding two conflicting beliefs at the same time! (Except for those hypocrites in Eurasia…)La Résistance:There is not, has never been, and never will be any form of rebellion to the Party's wise and just rule,but if therewere,we wouldalready be in control of it and use it as a tool to snuff out dissidents.Un-person: We are theTrope Namer, although the concept of "tropes" does not exist and never has.

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... Ironically, this still caused the jinx to be broken due to its caster being distracted...Following the games... Mr. Potter, Mrs. Granger, and Mr. Weasley continue to have their little...

I willalwaysgrab the attention of anyone near me.Dramatic Pause: I quite... obviously speak with pauses...Everyone Has Standards:It is my duty as a Hogwarts professor to protect the students from danger... Some are in enough trouble as it is, so I cannot allow any more to come to them.Even those in Slytherin house will be disciplined or punished for directly going against the rules or being incompetent students... As much as Malfoy keeps Crabbe and Goyle for company, they fail to live up to his example...Shed the Family Name: I never thought much of my...

Hello! Great to have ya here. I am Count Vladimir Dracula, better known as Grandpa Munster (even though, you know, Munster is my'son-in law'sname,not really mine). I live with my daughter Lily, her husband Herman, and my grandkids Marilyn and Eddie in our quaint California suburb. I can't complain too much about life; though I've gotta admit, it's not like it was inThe Old Country. Back home, I was a terror! An absolute terror! I was feared by mortals. I had the blood of princes in my veins. Now, I have to live in this sickeningly sunny state, but at least I don't have any moreguystrying to shove a stake into my chest. Not to mention, Lily and Herman let me have the entire basement to perform my experiments in, so, I try not to be too ungrateful.Curious to learn more about the awesome, the frightening Dracula? Don't blame ya; everyone who meets me is just batty about me!Dark Is Not Evil: I may wear a lotta black, perform strange science experiments, and drink blood, but you have to admit I'm a pretty nice guy and a family man to the core!Deadpan Snarker: What can I say? I really bare my teeth!Doting Grandparent: As mention, I do really care a lot about Eddie and Marilyn. They're great kids! I just love to help them with their problems! Sure, sometimes my spells and experiments don't always go as planned, but it's the thought that counts, right?Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Naturally!Improbably Cool Car: My iconic Dragula!Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yes, I know I've got a real ornery side, and I trade barbs with my son-in-law pretty regularly; but I'm mad about my family, the lot of 'em, and I'd do anything for 'em. You know what they say, blood is thicker than water.Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Of course,Mockingbird Lanesure didn't depict meas thenicestguyaround, even to my family!Large Ham: I do have a flair for drama. Would you expect anything less from the most famous vampire of all time?Mad Scientist: How I spend my time. Science is my greatest passion, and I love creating new contraptions and magic spells, sometimes to try to help my family out financially, or help Marilyn's dismal romantic life out.Obnoxious In-Laws: Oh, nonsense! Herman and I go head-to-head sometimes, but for the most part, I think he's a pretty swell guy. I didn't get in the way of him marrying my own dear daughter, did I? There's not even a hint of bad blood between us; we're good friends.Really 700 Years Old: I certainly look mighty good for my age; our neighbors think I'm just in my fifties or sixties!Telepathy: I do occasionally show I have psychic abilities, like when I noticed someone was about to knock on the door.

<div class="acaptionright" style="width:350px;" >some caption text</div>["Ding" noise as Janet teleports in. The following is read best in the voice ofD'Arcy Carden]Hi there, I'm Janet. I'm the informational assistant here inthe Good Place. I'm kind of likea walking database of all the knowledge in the universe. My job is to makeyourtime in the afterlife as easy and pleasant as possible.Or at least that's what I was made for.Turns out that Michael stole me from my warehouse and tried using me as an instrument of torture for a few humans, but that's okay. Michael's my friend, and so are the humans. I used to be married to one of them too before I got rebooted, but that's another story. How are you? I'm great. I'm always great. I'm Janet!Here is some stuff about me you'd like to know. It's all in the user manual.Action Girl: Not a girl, though I do like action. I got to kick some demon ash during my brief comparative-to-my-eternal-being time on Earth. That was fun.A.I. Getting High: I can't get drunk or high on anything. The closest thing I can do is that when I get close to anymagnets, I get a little loopy.A.I. Is a Crapshoot: I don't poop, though I have considered trying it one day just to see what it's like. Good Janets aren't supposed to lie, so whenever I do it, things get pretty wild.Benevolent A.I.: I try to be. I'm Janet. I'm made to be nice, intuitive and just a peach to be around. :D You like that? I've been working on my emojis. :DBrutal Honesty: Janets weren't made to lie, so I've been told that I can be a little too blunt for other people's liking. I've been spending all of the last three seconds reading every book and watching everyRom Comever made and ever will be made so that I can better read people's feelings and act accordingly.The Cutie: Aw, thank you. I like you too.And I like everybody,so you know I mean that!Hammerspace: Anything you could ever want I can provide. There is no object too big or small or insane that I can make. ["Ding." Janet hands you a potted cactus.] Just ask and I'll get it for you.Have You Tried Rebooting?: All Janets come with akill-switchthat will reset me back to factory standards with a few added adjustments to make me more intuitive in the event that I become dangerous. Though I have to warn you that I have a failsafe that willmake be beg for my what are you doing? Wait, please stop, you don't understand! I'm fine, see? Please, don't push that, please I'M BEGGING YOU! I HAVE SO MUCH TO LI--[Falls to the ground.]Insistent Terminology: Not a girl. Not a robot.Interspecies Romance: My long-term boyfriend, Jason, is a human. Although Janets are not intended for romantic relationships, there was also nothing specifically forbidding it. So when Jason asked me to marry him, I agreed!Offscreen Teleportation: That's one of my favorite things to do. Watch. ["Ding". Janet vanishes. "Ding." Janet reappears.] Cool, huh?

's voices are also acceptable.)Greetings.I am Spock, son of Sarek, of the planet Vulcan. I was originally slated to be a scientist, studying under the Vulcan Science Academy, but due to certain... disagreements with the heads of the Academy, I was instead motivated to pursue a career in Starfleet. For most of my service history I have been stationed on the Federation starshipEnterprise, where I previously served under Captain Christopher Pike, but more recently I have served under Captain James Tiberius Kirk. My assigned role as a crew member of the ship is to serve the dual role offirst officerandscience officer. In addition to this, I advise the captain and ensure that his human emotionalism does not lead the ship into danger.It appears you have found the page that details me as a person, so I presume you must in some way be curious about the subject. I must warn you beforehand that by your human standards, we Vulcans might come across as highly private people, and we do not tend to think of ourselves or personal lives as subjects of very much interest, and indeed, I am myself rarely disposed to discuss personal matters. But I shall attempt my best to accommodate and satisfy your inquiries into the matter.However, givencertain events must not be discussed under penalty of treason, I will be forced to classify all information in regards to them. You may select to read them at your own risk.Tropes in which I have been involved include:Accidental Hug: This nearly occurred when I discovered that I had not killed Captain Kirk during a moment of insanity. 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–December 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 — though troubled as I may be by them at times — 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.

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...

Me also a big fan of high culture (remember me role as Alistair Cookie in "Monsterpiece Theater" sketches?) and very good artist (if me can resist eating me own paintings).Hulk Speak: Me speak like thatbig green guy.

Guess what Elmo is thinking about today?That's right, Elmo is thinking about TV Tropes!Elmo lives onSesame Streetwith his mommy and daddy and goldfish, Dorothy.

Well since I got nothing better to do, I may as well keep you all entertained with this informative Self Demonstrating character page.Alright, let's get this over with. I am, if you haven't guessed already, Oscar the Grouch, and I live in my trash-can onSesame Street, intent on just being miserable, grouchy and mean as I can be, as well as passing it on to everybody else.Tropes that apply to yours truly, Oscar the Grouch:Big Eater: My appetite is almost enough to give Cookie Monster a run for his money.Deadpan Snarker: When you have to deal with the people I put up with on a daily basis, you'd develop a sharp sense of humor too.Enemy Mine: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'vehad to help Elmo out once. I may have an unpleasant disposition, but even I share his mutual dislike of Huxley.Green Is Gross: My fur is green and I love anything gross. Did you know my fur used to be orange? It probably would be again if I took a bath once in a while. Yuck!Hates Baths: The only bath I like to take is a mud bath.Large Ham: Who's to say I can't be both snarky and hammy?Grouch With a Heart Of Gold: I took Maria to the hospital when she had to give birth. I was confused by this since Grouches are not supposed to do nice things!Odd Friendship: Yeah it's true. Gonzo's rat buddy Rizzoonce offered me to make room in my trashcan for him.Only One Finds It Fun: When Elmo wished for it to be Christmas every day, he turned Sesame Street into a Grouch's paradise. Everyone was miserable due to having to celebrate Christmas every day, Maria and Luis were out of practice and their Fix-it Shop went under, Big Bird was upset because Snuffy was celebrating Christmas in Cincinnati with his grandmother, the carolers lost their voices from singing carols every day, and even The Count was sick of counting Christmases! 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. I would have preferred if he got new roller skates like he originally wanted.Trademark Favorite Food: I find foods with mold on it to be quite delicious.Okay, you've stuck around to the end and that's great, but now I just have one thing to say: SCRAM!

"HHhhmmm! It's time to make my move."(For full effect, read in the weaselly voice of Barry Dennen orSimon Pegg)HHhhhmmmmm!Greetings, friends! It is good to see you!

For maximum immersion, turn the volume up and the lights down, put onthe soundtrack, and stand up if possible.Welcome back, kids! Welcome to my page. Call me two faced - call me anytime - call me Baron Samedi! Scope this! Check it out, children: talent, raw talent! And baby, believe me, rock and roll is good for the soul, except - I AIN'T GOT ONE! Now how's that for an opener from a good looking corpse!Now here's the scoop, kids. Whenever old Uncle Baron says, "Thrill Me", you'll stand straight up... Oh? You're the only one here, and you want to explain who I am and some tropes? You're in the wrong place at the wrong time... but I'm feeling generous.I'm a zombie, as if you couldn't tell. You see all the imitationsover there? Hahahaha... Uncle Baron here is the only real deal.Listen up. I used to be A VJ. I'd play music for peeps and had them join my frightclub, The Cathedral Of Jive. My slogan was "Everybody’s welcome! it doesn’t matter if you are a somebody or a nobody. Just as long as you’re 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! It's fast, it's frightening, it's a freakin' party! I also got to play with a Witch, aVampire, and a Mummy (even if it got delayed)! But you can't deny that my game is the best, eh, kiddo? Still, l've been feeling a little lonely lately... Wanna join? Of course you do!Trope time! Big time! Party time! And then some!Affably Evil: I may be a zombie, but as in life, surely I should be a kind host to all babes who play with me... Well, with the exception of Dirtbag.Body Horror: Hey, ugly: top this! *Baron removes his hat to reveal his brains* Do you like it? Man, those earthworms don't do anything for a guy's complexion!Catchphrase: Yo? Whose go? Thrill me! And you better answer "Yo Baron, I can dig it", or you're gonnahit the hole!Color-Coded Characters: Green suits me real well, doesn't it? But it used to be white... Whatever.Counting to Three: Hey Dirtbag, if you ain't out of the room, and out of my sight by the count of five, you're gonna miss that many turns! One! Two! Three, four, five!The GM Is a Cheating Bastard: If you got me from the bag, then I may as well give you some cards and extra turns while we're at it! Hey, if you can't help yourself... who can you help?Hypocritical Humor: As long as I'm here, keep standing... I hate bad manners. *snort* *spit*Malicious Misnaming: Got used to that name yet, Dirtbag? Thrill me!Time's up, losers! Winners are grinners, and I'm flashing the ivory! And taking a bow. I hope you have a nice night's sleep, children, and don't forget to check under the bed!

Hello TV Tropes!(For theotherSentinels of the Multiverseshmuks, thecharacters pageforSOTMheroes is right over...here.Side NoteFor the maximum Guise experience, read this page in the voice ofJoe Zieja!)Hey everyone. Guise here. And I am the best hero in literally all of everything. 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’m 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. Although I don't seem to be able to change my face or the colors of my, ah, tights? I have anUnlimited Wardrobeof props and wigs and costumes I can pull out ofHammerspaceanytime I like.Xtreme Kool Letterz: You know, for overly-muscular gun-toting X-Treeeeeme!!!!'90s Anti-Herothrowbacks? But of course!

My name is Alan Wake, I'm a writer.The visitor clicked the link and suddenly Darkness invaded their thoughts. There was someone there.The visitor knew it. They read it. Dictations and syllables imprinted into the code of the site as though it was always there. A self-demonstrating article of a man who did not exist, or so that it was they have learned after playing his game.His wife was alive and the Darkness has retreated into the unknown, but he and it knew this was only a set-back.He continues to reach out to the world hoping to be free. BeyondBright Falls. Beyondthe Oldest House. Into the wild-blue yonder of Cyberspace. He hoped the light of mankind's knowledge would free him of the Darkness that surrounded him, but he could only find more unanswered questions and falsehoods, and so he writes. He writes who he is. He hoped that someone would find it and free him of this Dark Place and that swallowed him like Jonah and the Whale. 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. Orange Peel.

why Arthur is a poor training partner)Just as Arthur was getting into his battle stance,a bee flew up his nose! Flailing about in confusion, hestumbled across a tree root and lost his balance. We were, unfortunately,positioned near the top of a particularly steep ravine...Xander: Ah... no need to continue.I can guess what happened next.Effie: So... you don't want to hear about the partwhere he gotstruckby lightning?— Xander and Effie's B-Support,Fire Emblem Fates(This page is best read in the voices ofCam Clarkeor Riki Kitazawa. Be sure to do yourabsolute hammiestSilver Age superheroimpression.)Justice prevails!NEVER FEAR! ARTHUR IS HERE!Oh, and what a lovely day for Lady Luck to bless me on this fortuitous occasion! I finallyget some publicityfor my own heroics!Not that I'm one to brag about my heroism, of course, asthe gift of inspiring others is more than enough! Now, let us —W-WOAH, NO—(Leaps for cover asrunaway horse carriage crashes into the wall;a bunch of mud splashes on Arthur,but he is otherwise unscathed)(Slowly Stands Up)...Ahem. Well, as I was saying —(Load ofwyvern-dungfalls directly onto his head; he pouts, slightly annoyed now, and casually wipes it off)Ahem! As I wassaying—(Stray thunderbolthits and cooks Arthur; aside from someblack charring,he is not only unharmed,but the mud and wyvern-dung is evaporated and he shakes himself free of the charcoal like none of the above happened)Lady Luck, can youpleasegive me a moment to talk, first?! 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 — a young girl fromanother nation, her face wet with tears, I found alone. As fate would have it, royal guards were looking for her — 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 — 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 — 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— 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 — 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!

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!—BZZT— (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!

This is an Ukemi!Dogged Nice Guy: I always cared for Miss Litchi's well-being, and the best she does to me is to consider me a friend, not a lover. I do not fret at all. Perhaps it's better this way.Ensemble Dark Horse: Since the series started I've been a fan favorite despite being a minor character.Friend to All Children: Ehem, why else did I have to put up the superhero acts and keeps taking children for my students? Because I love'em. Honest.Hot-Blooded:I AM ALWAYS BURNING WITH PASSION IN EVERYTHING I DO!!!Idiot Hero: I am not very bright on the head, I don't think a lot. But my heart's always in the right place! ... I hope.Improbable Weapon User: You may mock me for using nails as a weapon, but I'll show you how powerful they can be!Jade-Colored Glasses: Admittedly, it might go another way, but I like to think thatChronophantasmawas a wake-up call for me, if only I didn't held onto my fantasies on Miss Litchi and Master Carl, I could have saved them...Justice Will Prevail: It certainly will, as long as I draw breath!Large Ham: Who saysyou need to be evil to be hammy!?Come forth and get ready for a Shishi-spanking!Love Freak: THE HERO OF LOVE AND JUSTICE!Ninja: They are mostlyFragile Speedsterswhen it comes to games like this.

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!

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!

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…the 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.

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!

Look, it'smuchmore impressive than it sounds, stop staring at me!!Benevolent Boss: What good's a king if not grateful to his workers?

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!

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!

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—I'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?

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! And besides, I feel pretty super even when I'm just normal!Spanner in the Works: ...Wait, so you're saying me kidnapping Peach stopped a whole alien invasion?! ...Huh!

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!

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. Three decades in and I've still got the pipes! No wonder they got 'im to play me instead of Mario, in your face, plumber!Villainous Breakdown: Look, Idogot a temper, but my poor evil heart can only takesomuch these days. Most of the time I'm left blowing up with rage or just weeping in a corner because of how badly my plans got trashed...I can't even remember how many meltdowns I had anymore! 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! I don't see a point in tellin' you anumber, but I can say I've been around the block longer than that tomato-sauce-gulping wimp of a plumber has! And, HELLO, who said I was stinkin' 34?! 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. Sometimes I may be twice Mario's tiny size, other times I'm a literalmountainof awesome terror! And how's all that work?KOOPA MAGIC, SON!...hey, haven't ya forgotten that you came here through a Bowser Space?

And if I can't file a report, then what's the point of-PERSONALITY OVERRIDE ACTIVATED.Ugh, tropers. 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!

Oh hi there, I am Cirno, and who are you? "Troper-san?" Well whatever, come into my house, which is of course the best house there is. Do you want to play?... "Tell me about yourself?" Ehhhh, talking is so boring, playing is way more fun!... "We can play later?" Alright, fine, I'll tell you about me! You are in front of Cirno, the strongest fairy there is, so be amazed about what you'll hear!I am from the super-popularBullet HellVideo GameseriesTouhou Project. The first time I showed up was during the sixth game,Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, which was also the first game for Windows. 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. This house we are in now is of course much stronger than that old one!I have a friend people call Daiyousei, she's a green-haired big fairy. She's a bit shy but really nice usually. People also often say they see me together with other youkai to play games like Hide & Seek or just fight for fun. Since most of them are weak, of course I let them win because I am strong and nice too!So anyway, enough talking, let's play... "show me your tropes"... alright, fine, you can read these tropes down there about me but when you're done you have to play with me, get it?Arch-Enemy: I don't like that frog goddess because she always gets angry when I freeze frogs.I wonder why, though.Badass Adorable: I'm pretty strong alright... wait, do you think I'm cute as well?Badass Armfold: That's how I pose inHisoutensoku. While hovering in mid-air!Badass Boast: Oh? You want to see my list of boasts? Here ya go!"I'll cryo-freeze you together with some English beef!""I'm the strongest!""I'm Cirno! The freezer of crybabies!""I'm not scared of youkai or gods! I'll show you what "Recklessness is courage" is all about!""I'm Cirno! The eternal omiwatari!""I'm an ice fairy who can pound a nail in with a banana! And this unstoppable fairy's gonna win fair and square!""Nah, I'm fine going solo. I'm strong enough on my ownsome! Breaking three arrows at once should be faster than breaking them one by one!""I've been going easy on you 'til now, but now I'm gonna get serious! On a night of spring when the cold returns, it's time for you to run out of sake and freeze to death!"Pretty impressive, huh? Perfect fora powerhouse like me!Berserk Button: The one who calls me an "idiot" is thetrueidiot!Blood Knight: I'spose my dialogue inGreat Fairy Warsmakes me seem so, but I was really angry, ok!?BFS: I was shown to create one with my ice powers inHisoutensoku!Boisterous Weakling: W-What!? I'm not a weakling!Breakout Character: I was the main character ofFairy Warsand was on the cover for a second time - a first for anyone who is not the red-and-white. What's a cover again?Butt-Monkey: Stop calling me anidiot, you idiots! You don't even knowhow powerful I really am!Creepy Child: I amnotcreepy! Yes I attacked people when the sky was red but I'm not bad, ok!?Day in the Limelight: I'm the one and only playable character inFairy Wars, I'll have you know!Death of a Thousand Cuts: Although I can throw some really big attacks (even a huge block of ice), my (possibly) greatest strength in the fighting games is being able to dish out tiny bits of damage really fast, since my moveset is full of techniques that hit my enemy lots.The Ditz:Rrgh... those fans! They think that just because I'm somewhat of a ditz and I have an easy-to-dodge attack onEasy Mode, they think it's okay todepict me as a complete idiotin all of their fan works!Do they even play the game onHard Mode?They're the real idiots!!I can also invert that, btw! There's lots of pictures and stories where I am a super-smart genius!Elemental Powers: Ice powers, of course!Failed a Spot Check: Someone told me that inSaBND, when playing hide and seek with Daiyousei, I didn't notice the Three Fairies behind me, even though they weren't trying to hide themselves and again when it took several seconds to realize someone is talking to me.The Fog of Ages: Like all fairies, I can't really remember what happened a day earlier, let alone years... not that I care as long as I get to do what I do every single day - play, fly, and challenge others to see if she'll win. On the other hand, I learned how to read and never forgot that! That's pretty cool, right?Harmless Freezing: As if!An Ice Person: Duh! I'm an ice fairy!Immortality: All fairies have the ability to resurrect as soon as they die. That alone puts my regenerative capabilities far above yours!Implacable Fairy: No matter how many times I get knocked down, I'll always be back up to continue my quest to become the strongest!Japanese Pronouns: Some people think badly of my use of the rough-sounding/feminine slang pronoun "Atai". It's meant to evoke the image of a tough, thuggish street rat, but coming from me, they say it's laughably underwhelming, and only serves to make me seem even more like a boorish idiot who is trying too hard. Little do they know my real strength and that it's a mistake to taunt me!Large Ham: Wait... first you call me anidiot, then you call me a weakling, andnowyou're calling me apig!?WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS!?Leitmotif:"Beloved Tomboyish Girl"is the best song ever since it's mine, obviously!More Dakka: Supposedly I see way more bullets shot by enemy fairies than other people would; compareFairy Warsto the other games and you'll realize that my game is possibly the hardest game in the entire franchise. And when you decide to get the gold medal for Spell Cards (which involves you not freezing any bullets whatsoever), that may beZUN's idea of a joke. Does that make me stop trying? Nah, I'll just blast through as usual!Nature Spirit: I'm an ice fairy and all fairies are made from nature... stuff.Not-So-Harmless Villain:Like I was ever an easy fight to begin with!Overly Narrow Superlative: I'm the strongest fairy!... ah well, while I'm certainly strong for my race, normal fairies arelow-level cannon fodder mooks, so I guess that doesn't mean much... and then that crazy girl Clownpiece's turned me into only being the strongest fairy inGensokyo, since Clownpiece is a highly powerful fairy fromHell. But I know I can beat her, just you wait!Outside-the-Box Tactic: Did you know that I can freeze my opponents' bullets right in their tracks?Pint-Sized Powerhouse: So what if I'm short? I'm stronger thanyou'llever be!Power Incontinence: I am always surrounded by cold and anyone touching me could get frostbite, so don't try to hug me like some of those villagers love to! And yes I know that some fans draw mebeing used by other characters as air conditioning or a fridge. That's so not nice!Recurring Boss: Originally I was the stage 2 Boss ofThe Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, then I reappeared as the stage 1 mid-boss ofPerfect Cherry Blossom, then as a boss/enemy/player character inPhantasmagoria of Flower Viewand yetagainas the stage 1 mid-boss ofDouble Dealing Character.Red Oni: I'm red and Daiyousei is blue. I'm the strong type who challenges people because I can (I'm not annoying, get it!) and Daiyousei is the quiet, reserved person.Resurrective Immortality: As a fairy, I'm part of nature and I can never die. It even shows in my game,Fairy Wars, as having a "Motivation Meter" instead of lives. I'll just fight on even when shot down until I get bored.Small Name, Big Ego: Small-name!? Why would anyone as powerful and intelligent as me beanythingthat isn't!?Sugar-and-Ice Personality: I can be boastful and sometimes even mean rather than aloof, but I can also be very nice, especially to my friends.Tomboy: Some say I am the opposite to Daiyousei's shy girly-girl personality by being an outgoingBoisterous Weakling... except I'm not weak, alright!?Took a Level in Badass: I got to show my real strength inFairy Wars, where I can 1) freeze theenemy'sbullets, 2) use the now-harmless bullets as shields, and 3) use myResurrective Immortalityto keep on fighting; many beings in Gensokyo have showcased similar abilities, but never all three at once like I can. I've also been warned by that Yama that I'm pushing the power limits meant for fairies. Which meansI! Am! Amazing!Trademark Favorite Food: Anything cold, obviously! Suika barsnotea frozen watermelon slice on a popsicle stick, totally unrelated to that drunk oni girlare my favorite! There's also a cool manga where I wield a sword that looks just like a suika bar!Winged Humanoid: Well, they're made of ice crystals,but they still count as wings!With Catlike Tread: When playing Hide & Seek, I don't need to keep quiet and instead yell to scare the others so they show themselves. It's the greatest tactic!Are you done yet? Only idiots wait, winners are always ready! So play with me!

Can't an old ape get any peace and quiet around here?!Oh... it was one of youtropersagain, eh? Jumping from page to page all day and night—drives an old ape to tears, really...Hold up, so you're actually here to learn aboutmyhistory now, are ya? Well, it's about time, if I do say so m'self! Right, where to begin…Guess I'll start with my name. See here, most people these days know me as Cranky Kong — can't rightly imagine why, though. Thing is, the ape you're looking at was theoriginalDonkey Kong — 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'…! 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…Radar Scopewas crashing and burning—the latest in Japanese videogame developerNintendo's attempts to break into the North American market. Things were getting desperate, so the president of the company—the 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…he 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 — and all because of me! I was what the kids called "OG" — 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…running a pie factory somehow…made 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 — never mind.After the success of my first game, I found myself a little woman to settle down with, and we had a son — 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… 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — "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—lost 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 — that was supposed to be my job! …Then 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… 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.…My wife…sigh… 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— pardon the French. I'm also aNintendo HardBonus Bossin the third one.Cane Fu: Think it's just for show? Guess again.Cool Old Guy: I may be old, but I still got a lot of fight left in me!Deadpan Snarker: Oh,really? 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… 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! Our video game controllers weren't battery-powered — they plugged right into the console. And we liked it that way! 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! It's you kids who really need to learn to be polite! Why in my day…This Cannot Be!: I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw those young'uns get over 2000 points on myJetpacgame!You Know What They Say: "…all graphics and no game play!"I could tell you yarns about the old days all day long, but I'm getting tired. Gotta get my rest.Make sure to shut the gate on your way out. Were you raised in a barn?

"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 × 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. He's dead, I'm alive, and I've got my own bills to pay and worries to ponder.Throwing Your Sword Always Works: My Round Trip technique turns good ol' Rebellion into aPrecision-Guided Boomerang. Atta girl, always comes right back to her master where she belongs.Time to Unlock More True Potential: Majin Devil Trigger. Let's just saySuper Saiyansand I have a lot in common after that became a thing. And thenSin Devil Trigger. I'm full of surprises.Too Many Belts: I don't have as many as say,that kid running around with the giant key, but they don't call me stylish for nothing.Trademark Favorite Food: Pizza! As well as strawberry sundaes in the anime, original novels, and inProject × Zone.Trash Talk: I'd love to have a battle of wits with you right now actually... but you appear unarmed.Trickster Mentor: I guess I'm this way to Nero, but you'd have to squint to see it. 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? Enough's enough already. I'm me!Huh? Interview's over? All right. See ya, then. (puts magazine over face and leans back in chair with feet up on the desk) Just don't break the door on the way out.

Now, I shouldneedno introduction, but…I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik, radiant revolutionary,creative combatant, efficacious engineer, mechanical mastermind and the greatest scientificgeniusin the world! 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……that 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—!(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—no, 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—…And 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… 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…Metal 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… ugh…finishes 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…knock-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… 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…?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…(sigh)…Dark 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… 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— 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—I 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— yet no less devilishly dangerous— 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… 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… 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… 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… 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… don't really do much of anything villainy-wise.I mean, I'm more…butch, 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—Me: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… 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… 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…"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… 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… 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… 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—why!? 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… 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!…Only 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… 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—Eggmanland!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…diealready! 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… 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. Contact details below."Catchphrase: Ah, yes! A brilliant scientist such as I should harbor an equally brilliant way with words:The timeless classic:"I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!""All systems, FULL POWER!", "Get a load of THIS!", and (regrettably) "No way! I can't believe this!""Yosh!"for the expression of joy."Lights out!" and "You know what they say! The MORE the MERRIER!"I hear you Internet cretinstook a liking to the latter quotefor some strange reason."Get ready to be schooled!"Or was it meant to be "skewered"?"You little... you little--!""Time for a change of pace!"Cheshire Cat Grin: And it's perfectly photogenic, too!Complete Monster: Oh ho ho! Not usually, I admit, but I do admire when other versions of merefrain from any holding back.Theanimated version of meyou may have heard of turned that little kingdom from the inside out and transformed a planet's worth of opposition intomindless machines, including the blue buffoon's dear only unclewhen he was just a dumb little boy.D'awwwww!That similarlyprinted version of medid all the above and then some— experimenting on his own people, tearing apart families even more gleefully, creating a doomsday weapon to warp Sonic's home village into eternal non-existence— I'd argue it's a littlepointlessly excessivehere and there, but hey, all the more misery for the rodent! 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… 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— be it primitive, advanced, pristine or otherwise— 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…havetended 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. But I don't always havetimeto think of all that! I need to strike while the iron is hot when it comes to my brilliant concepts, and my nemesis isalreadya speedy little mongrel!Draco in Leather Pants:OH, FOR THE LOVE OF— uh…yes!You're right!Iamjusta tragically misunderstood genius with a big heart and perfectly noble intentions to make the world a better place!Unlike thatmean, sorry hedgehog, you must besuchagoodobserver! Now, now, I'm sure you're eager, but I don't need any sympathy for all the grief I've been given. I only wish to have your eternal servitude and obedience. And yes, youcouldrefuse, but would youreallywant to…(sniff)…hurt my feelings?The Dreaded: Ohohoho! Well, I do love to be feared. 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… 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… 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… 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— 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… 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…friendlinesswith 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… 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… 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… but so far only in that one other timelinewhere we teamed upto rewrite reality— using technologymyother self invented— 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? …What!? You AREN'T!? Why, you… your poor judgement will be shown for what it is once I finish bringing my empire back up to snuff, so get ready for—! …Wait, 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… don't be mad, boss… but while you were going over yourglorious history… well…Cubot: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! …Oh. 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… 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

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 Ţepeş. 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 Ţepeş. 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 Ţepeş. You know him as Alucard. (smiles fondly as he looks at a family portrait ofhimself, Lisa and a young Adrian◊) 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–Heel 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. I speak with great emotion, even more so withmy Japanese avatar.Load-Bearing Boss: As Castlevania is connected to me, once I am defeated, the castle will collapse onto itself.Long-Haired Pretty Boy: See my likeness when I was Mathias Cronqvist.Manipulative Bastard: You flatter me with your praise, troper.Misanthrope Supreme:After Lisa was murdered, all bets were off.My God, What Have I Done?: Despite denying Lisa's final wish to spare mankind, it was not enough for me to stop. Lisa... I'm sorry.Not Me This Time: I don't appearwhen Juste Belmont stormed my castle, but rather, my power does, taking on my appearance of a wraith.Number of the Beast: Quite fitting, as my HP rounds out to 6,666.Our Vampires Are Different: If anything else, I am the antithesis to God.Pointy Ears: Does that bother you? 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 it worked... for about 900 years.Red and Black and Evil All Over: I look good in red and black, don't I?Reincarnation Romance: I believe that Lisa was the reincarnation of my first wife. 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. Lisa was the only onewho saw the goodness in me.Vampire Of Wealth And Taste: Why, thank you. Even a Lord of Darkness such as myself must make an impression when I grace these foolish mortals with my presence. The best example of this is my appearance inSymphony of the Night.Wicked Cultured: Something that I carried over from my days as Mathias Cronqvist. Knowledge can just be as dangerous and just as valuable in the right hands.Tragic Villain: One of the most famous in video game history.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:A pair of mortal men that host a series of life or death battleshad set me againsta fellow ruler that also forgone his humanity for greater power.I butchered him and feasted on his blood afterwards.There was also that one occurrence when I,the aforementioned ruler, anda small jester-like monsterserved under the command of thatcosmic entityknown asDharkon. Most of the Belmont clan and their allies had been reduced to bodiless souls by an eldritch being named Galeem, but two of them survived, those two beingSimonand his descendantRichter.We Can Rule Together: The first time, I offered Leon the chance to become my right-hand man. He refused. I also did the same to Adrian. He also refused.

. 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— huh, that's not—AAUGH! 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!

Nobody steals our chicks... and lives!—Me, 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◊.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’t 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◊doesn'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. I disagree, but I can sorta understand given what I said to the Holsom Twins.

Click here to see my Ouroboros form, innit?(Read this page in the voice ofMegumi Han(Japanese) or Kitty Archer (English))Oi! Who the spark are you? Least you're not Moebius, that I can tell. But you ain't from Keves or Agnus either. Or the City. Or Aionios in general. Hmm... from what I can tell, you're from one of those civilisations, the ones that're all ancient like, innit? Like, more ancient than ancient. That's what Nia told me.Queen's beans, where do I start? Eunie's the name. Used to be Special Forces Unit, Colony 9. I've been best buds with Noah and Lanz since we left the pod. By the by, I'm now part of Ouroboros. Which means, way back when, me and the boys got special powers, discovered that the world is an uttershithole, and teamed up with Mio, Taion and Sena, some soldiers from Agnus who we thought were our enemies but weren't. And this was all to beat the snuff out of the arseholes who made the world the way it was. Oh, and I also found out that the Queen was afakebut we got to meet the real one! And what an adventure it was. Hopefully one day, I'll get to be in thatwild contestwith Mr. Shulk along with Mr. Rex and Queen Nia's wifeys.Anyway, you lot seem tolike my attitude, so I landed my own page on this here sparkin' wiki! I've never been prouder. You lot better use that "wiki magic" o' yours to make this page happen and analyse me as much as you want (not in THAT way though, you mudder). A'ight, get to it! We haven't got all day!Hear that, tropers? Readers want something a bit meatier:Accent Adaptation: Dependin' on where you lot come from in th' ancienter-than-ancient lands, you hear my speech as some sorta kind of delinquent street dialect, and you fromhamburger-crumpet-land and the likecompared it to this guy called... Zord? Psord? I dunno who the snuff he is, but wha'ever.Ambiguously Bi: Ever since becoming Ouroboros, I started learnin' what attraction is. Much as they both drive me up the wall sometimes, I kinda like Taion, but I kinda like Ashera too...? Sena told me something about that.Boom Stick: This is my Gunrod! I'm really good at healin' people and also shootin' them in the 'ead!Broken Pedestal: I grew up worshipping the Queen, so it broke my heart to find out she was nothin' more thana talking piece of clockwork crap, and anevilmudder at that. So imagine the look on my face when I learned that there was arealQueen Melia, and we even helped save 'er from those Moebius mudders! And we're friends now! Seriously, I don't think the Eunie of one term ago would've even dreamed o' that.Calming Tea: Sometimes I drink tea to calm me down, especially when something decides to hit myTrauma Button. Taion does too, and he's even good at makin' the stuff for us.Character Tic: I tug at my head-wings when I'm thinking or when I'm irrita'ed.Contrasting Sequel Main Character: I do look up to Queen Melia, but we couldn't be more different aside from our head-wing...things. She's got the silver hair and is always talkin' all formal like and always seems to be hiding what she's actually feelin'. Meanwhile, I've got brown hair, I don't need no politeness, and I just speak what's on my mind and how I want.I'll be blunt with ya, but don't take it personally, innit? The Queen also tells me that I'm sort of the same but different to an old friend of hers named "Fiora", but I've no sparkin' idea what she was like way back when. Apparently she was a sweetheart, and there was someone just like D in her life who traumatised 'er and even nearly killed 'er... I don't really wanna go there again.Lady Swears-a-Lot: My mouth is averitable cesspoolof snuff! ...Huh, you don't use "snuff" or "spark" as swears? Queen's wings, ancient people areweird, innit.The Lad-ette: Oh, I ain't no right propah lady like the Queens. I like going all rough 'n' tough withthe rest of the boys.The Medic: If you need healing, leave it to Eunie! I'm deffo good at that whole healing business — my class is Medic Gunner, and I can keep you topped offand shoot a mudder with some strong Etherat the same time. Even outside of battle, whenever we come across someone injured, I'm the one to help get 'em back in ship shape.Ms. Fanservice: Oi! Where you lookin'? Yeah, yeah,maybe these clothes are a bit tight, innit?Precision F-Strike: Early on in our adventure, we had to make our escape through some snuffin' wotah.note(Mio:Wotah?)Ugh, feathers are abitchto dry.Ship Tease: That Taion, he's a fun one to fluster. I enjoy bustin' his chops, but deep down, he's someone you can rely on. And he makes a mean cuppa!Third-Person Person: Eunie is as Eunie does. Now, I ain't no sparkin' Noponnote(Riku:Riku take offence to that comment!)but like to refer to myself this way sometimes, especially while exploring Aionios. Yus, Eunie's the boss.Tomboy with a Girly Streak: I might be allbold an' brashlike, but I do love cute fuzzy critters and collecting Fourtune Clovers after all.Tsundere: You wot? The spark is a "soon dare ay"? Tch, look, I do care about the folks close to me, even if I got a bit of a snuffin' attitude about it. Queen Nia even says that both Taion and I remind 'er of an old friend in that way, named... Wait, they named mythrice after one of her mates?! Snuff me, that "Mythra" lady seems like a cool gal.Vitriolic Best Buds: Lanz is a right muppet, and we bicker a lot,and I wouldn't 'ave it any other way. He, Noah and Igo way back.Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: I sparkin'hateseeing Aspars... they gross me out so much, I almost vomited after fighting one. Blegh.Eunie:Too easy! Come after me, and that's what you get!!Taion:Sigh, if only you didn't charge off on your own.
