Biker Mice From Mars/Characters

Throttle
"Voiced by: Rob Paulsen"



""In this wild and wooly universe, there's only three things you can count on- your brains, your bros and your bikes!""

Throttle is the tan one, a quiet and decisive natural leader who cares deeply for those under (and over) his command- even though he may be too manly (or mousely) to show it. He was groomed by Stoker, the creator and former leader of the Freedom Fighters, to take command- but something interrupted it, and he ended up in space with Vinnie and Modo. Curiously enough, he's the only one who's displayed the Martian skill of telepathy, and telepathic trickery as well. He was blinded in the Mars-Plutark war, and courtesy of Dr. Karbunkle now has semi-working replacement eyes that he needs his signature pair of sunglasses to see with.

Tropes associated with Throttle: "Vinnie: Yeah! Some pretty studly moves there! Modo: Well, that's pretty nice of you to say, Vinnie. Vinnie: Not you, bro. I was talking about me! Throttle: What a surprise."
 * Berserk Button - He will react badly if you hurt his friends.
 * Cool Shades
 * Sunglasses At Night
 * Deadpan Snarker - For example:


 * Handicapped Badass
 * Hell-Bent for Leather
 * The Hero
 * The Spock

Vincent "Vinnie" Van Wham
"Voiced by: Ian Ziering"



""Ahahahaooooow!""

He's the self-proclaimed baddest biker this side of ten solar systems, and he's almost right. Vinnie has a huge ego that was only outdone once in the whole series, but underneath his bluster lies a sweet, caring individual who would sacrifice anything for his bros and Charley. He gained his mask in the Mars-Plutark war, either by being blasted at or by a sadistic experiment by Dr. Karbunkle. Either way, his first love Harley (no relation to Charley) gave him a mask made out of flex-plate metal, which allows his face to move while still covering up his scars.

Tropes associated with Vinnie:
 * Badass Bandolier
 * Boisterous Bruiser - Practically the trope definition.
 * Chivalrous Pervert - Vinnie loves women, very, very much. And everyone knows it too.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy - He doesn't like it when other guys approach Charley.
 * Expressive Mask
 * Handsome Lech
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * The Lancer
 * Leeroy Jenkins - Well, all three mice fit, but he's the worst of them.
 * The McCoy
 * Walking Shirtless Scene

Modo
"Voiced by: Dorian Harewood"



""Like my grey-furred momma always used to say...""

Modo is a Gentle Giant through and through, until you anger him- in which case he will bring the Unstoppable Rage like a rabid .. something. His mother imbued him with a philosophy about children, women and life in general that still guides him today, and he quotes her often. Out of the three Biker Mice, he sustained the most severe injuries- losing his right arm and left eye. Again, "courtesy" of Karbunkle he now has a mechanical arm to replace his blown-to-bits one. Unfortunately for him, the arm wasn't really wanted, and Modo still has self-doubts about it to this day.

Tropes associated with Modo:
 * Arm Cannon - Modo has one on his mechanical arm.
 * Berserk Button - Don't hit the ladies, the children, or God help you, his beloved bike. Or you will perish painfully.
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * The Big Guy
 * Eyepatch of Power
 * Friend to All Children: Modo is known to be very fond of children and believes that all Children Are Innocent. But once,
 * Gentle Giant: Just don't make him mad. God help you if you make him mad.
 * Handicapped Badass
 * The Kirk
 * Momma's Boy
 * Ten-Minute Retirement: In "Modo Hangs It Up".
 * Unstoppable Rage - You know how Modo's eye glows red when he's pissed off? Well, when you threaten his bike, or his bros, or, God help you, both, his entire body glows red (actually, that only happened once, but whatever) and he'll sucker-punch you into freakin' Lake Michigan.
 * He and his bros are mice. Not rats. Run away fast if you hear anyone calling them rats when Modo's around.

Charlene "Charley" Davidson
"Voiced by: Leeza Miller-McGee (1993 series)/Lisa Zane (2006 series)"



""Maybe you could stop by the parts store?""

Charlene is a long-suffering woman, considering who she has daily upon her doorstep- either three rambunctious bikers who are experts at accidentally wrecking everything around them, or money-hungry Plutarkians who would like her to be out of their way permanently. Despite both of these, however, she's still alive and kicking, partially due to her own mechanical genius. She's responsible for fixing the Biker Mice's bikes, installing upgrades and treating their wounds. There is no overstating her value to the Biker Mice's cause; if she was not there to make an emergency fix or fashion a new weapon, the Biker Mice would be long dead by now. They know it too, which is why every time Charley declares that she's going along, she's vetoed by all three of the Mice. She still gets her shots in every once in a while, but not by the Biker Mice's choice.

Tropes associated with Charley:
 * Action Girl
 * Badass Damsel
 * Brainy Brunette
 * Damsel in Distress - The second thing Charley does is get captured and then put in a giant trap so Grease Pit can blackmail the mice into going away. She then yells out "NO DON'T IT'S A TRAAAAAAP!" Maybe Ackbar learned from this one.
 * To her credit, she is painfully aware of this trope, and tries to avoid it while still being a useful friend to the Mice.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Only Sane Woman: The Mice have hilariously huge egos. She doesn't.
 * Punny Name
 * Spy Catsuit - Sort of,
 * Tomboyish Name
 * Women Are Wiser - Considering the mice, that's not hard.
 * Wrench Wench

Stoker Van Rotten
"Voiced by: Peter Strauss (1993 series)/Jim Ward (2006 series)"



""Thanks for the wheels, beautiful!""

Stoker is the creator and main force behind the might of the Freedom Fighters. He is a legend amongst all Martians, and maybe even beyond that planet itself. However, age and a hard lifestyle forced him to slow down, although he resisted toning down his signature style of tail-whipping for a while. He is Throttle's mentor, Vinnie's idol (and occasional foil) and a dear friend to many Freedom Fighters.

Tropes associated with Stoker:
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Cool Old Guy
 * The Kirk
 * La Résistance
 * La Résistance

Rimfire
"Voiced by: Brian Austin-Green/Leeza Miller-McGee"



""Sorry to drop in on you like this, Uncle Modo.""

Rimfire is a sprightly, athletic young mouse--as said above, Modo's sister's child. Along with his sister Primer, Rimfire has fought in the Mars-Plutark war despite being only around 16 or 17 years old in human years. Like Modo, Rimfire is polite and gentle, as well as having a ninja-like talent for getting out of tight scrapes (and into tight scrapes: only one episode has him not being held captive by a Big Bad).

Tropes associated with Rimfire:
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: He was voiced by Leeza Miller-McGee (Charley's original voice actress) in one episode.
 * La Résistance
 * The McCoy
 * Skunk Stripe: He has an orange stripe on brown hair.

Carbine Cannonblade
"Voiced by: Leah Remini (1993 series)/Dina Sherman (2006 series)"



""I'm joining the real fight, with the real fighters.""

Carbine is the new leader of the Freedom Fighters, a former Army General. Unlike Stoker, she prefers a set of rules and disciplines, instead of the camraderie and mild chaos of Stoker's FF. Despite this, she is still a very competent leader, although her desire to stay on Mars has driven a wedge between her and her "boyfriend" Throttle. She nearly had him executed after he returned to Mars just after the Plutarkians seeded a tape of him and his bros supposedly aiding them in destroying Chicago, but they managed to hash it out before the Biker Mice were thrown into the Pit of Everlasting Doom (otherwise known as Spiky Pit of Spikes). This has only seeded her reputation as a cold bitch, but in reality it's a harsh case of a woman who puts the survival of her planet and species above all else.

Tropes associated with Carbine:
 * Action Girl
 * La Résistance: As noted, she runs it.
 * Shiny Midnight Black: Her hair color.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * The Spock
 * The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask

Lawrence Lactavius Limburger
"Voiced by: W. Morgan Sheppard"

""It's so hard to find good help these days.""

Lawrence Limburger, otherwise known as "Boss", "Mister Limboiger" and "Stinkface", is a well-spoken denizen of destruction and disaster. He is the epitomy of greed, with a hunger for power that would outdo most dictators. His most fervent want is to become the High Poobah of not only Earth, but Plutark as well, and if it weren't for those stupid gerbils on bikes he'd have his wish by now. It's not for lack of trying that he's still a much-maligned minnow in the pool of power- it's that through a combination of incompetent goons, bad luck and not crossing one T that has him pulling his fins in frustration.

Tropes associated with Limburger: "Limburger: You fools! You've doomed us all!"
 * Added Alliterative Appeal - Lends a lovely layer to Limburger's loquacious lambasting of his lackeys.
 * Affably Evil - Limburger sometimes gets this treatment.
 * Alliterative Name
 * Bad Boss - Limburger has no respect for his underlings--consequently, they only serve him because he's rich.
 * Corrupt Corporate Executive - The Plutarkian masquerading as Lawrence Limburger, CEO of Limburger Corporation, although by the looks of things, he's a low-level manager in the grand scheme of the Plutarkian society (perhaps because Earth's really not that important). He still has quotas to fill and expectations to meet, however. Wants to buy and then strip-mine the entire planet (except Detroit). He doesn't seem to be limited to just buying up real estate however--he sometimes will just waltz in and take the generic resources he wants.
 * The Mega Corp gives him the backing to do so. Offworld resources are barely if ever used.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Evil Laugh - Limburger has an especially ominous laugh.
 * Even Evil Has Standards - Limburger is put off by Brie's crassness and Grease Pit's, well, greasiness.
 * Expressive Mask
 * Fat Bastard
 * Fish Person: Like all Plutarkians.
 * Large and In Charge
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
 * Surrounded by Idiots -- a major source of humour.
 * You Fool!

Dr. Karbunkle
"Voiced by: Susan Silo"

""Excuse me, I have a few lobotomies to perform!""

Karbunkle is a god-only-knows-what from nobody-knows-where, and he's almost completely nuts to boot. Word of God has it that Karbunkle's origins may be rooted in WWII, perhaps as a German scientist gone mad. As noted, Karbunkle experimented on the Biker Mice when they were captured, and he's responsible for their Cursed with Awesome cybernetic implants.

Tropes associated with Karbunkle:
 * Combat Stilettos: A very Rare Male Example.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices
 * Evil Redhead
 * For Science!
 * Goggles Do Nothing: At least, not that we know of. And yet, he's never seen without them.
 * Lean and Mean
 * Mad Scientist: Dr. Karbunkle is distilled batshit insane scientist.
 * Mysterious Past

Greasepit
"Voiced by: Brad Garrett"



""Duh, sure, Boss.""

Limburger's rather dim-witted henchman who drips grease everywhere (hence the name). Limburger found him while searching for some big muscle to help him take over Mars... needless to say, Greasepit's resume was a little beefed up.

Tropes associated with Greasepit:
 * Bald of Evil
 * Number Two for Brains. Overlapping with...
 * Giant Mook: He's apparently the field commander of the biker gangs that Limburger often sends after the Biker Mice-- but he really, really shouldn't be.
 * Dumb Muscle
 * The Pig Pen: As noted, his body literally oozes oil.
 * What Kind Of Lame Power Is Oil Oozing Anyway? Very rarely does that trait ever help him out.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: 99% of the time.

Evil Eye Weevil
"Voiced by: Jess Harnell"

""How's my hair? Perfect! And I'm still in one piece... sorta.""

Evil Eye Weevil, a former stuntman who claims to be Elvis Presley's alien twin brother is one of the recurring villains on Biker Mice. He's very egocentric, snobbish and abusive. He possesses a special weapon called the hostility ray; when a person gets struck by its red beam, he or she becomes hostile toward other people - hence the name. When several people get hit by it, things can get quite nasty. Once, the hostility ray even made the Biker mice, normally close friends, yell at each other and almost start a fist fight. Luckily, the ray's effects wear off with time.

Evil Eye has two minions who are known as the Pukes of Hazzard, a pair of purple skinned muscular dwarves. They admire their master and do nothing but bask in his magnificence despite they often get abused by him. They do any menial task Evil Eye sets before them just for the privilege, including preparing his stunt bike to fixing his limbs when he breaks them - which happens so often that it's become a Running Gag.

Tropes associated with Evil Eye Weevil:
 * Bad Boss
 * Eye Beams - The hostility ray.
 * It's All About Me - He's even more egocentric than Vinnie.
 * Jerkass
 * Lean and Mean
 * Meaningful Name
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast
 * Terrible Trio - Forms this with his two minions.

The Pulverizer
"Voiced by: Jeff Bennett"

""'Biker Mice,' eh? Look like sloppy soldiers to me! It'll be my pleasure to pulverize 'em!""

The Pulverizer is an evil cyborg (or robot) with a militaristic theme both in his appearance and speech. He frequently uses military jargon in his speech. It is implied that he was once in the armed forces but became a criminal. When he was summoned, Karbunkle mentioned that the Pulverizer had just completed his six year stinct. The Pulverizer has an over sized right hand which is also his power fist. This very powerful weapon allows him to punch with outstanding power along with firing small bursts of energy.

The Pulverizer is a merciless, power-hungry and cruel bully and also a very competent leader. He's very cunning, not to mention fearless in front of his enemies. He is almost unstoppable when he has competent troops - this was seen in Cheese Cadets, when

Tropes associated with the Pulverizer:


 * Megaton Punch - What he did to Greasepit after he was summoned.
 * Oh Crap - Gets this after he  Doesn't exactly say 'oh crap' but has a very terrified expression on his face.
 * Power Fist
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning

Cataclysm
"Voiced by: Clancy Brown"



""They sent shapeshifters to do a soldier's job?""

Cataclysm is the absolute definition of Big Bad, both in role and size, although officially is the second-in-command to Assistant Supreme Commander Hairball. He's larger than Modo, by several boot sizes, and his stooped-over stature and portruding fangs just add to the terrifying (but not truly ugly) exterior. Despite his alignment, Cataclysm isn't all bad - he still has a little inkling of love for his runt brother Hairball.

Tropes associated with Cataclysm:
 * Cats Are Mean
 * Dragon-in-Chief
 * Evil Redhead
 * Large and In Charge
 * Villainous Goatee
 * Walking Shirtless Scene

Hannibal T. Hairball
"Voiced by: Rob Paulsen"



""I vill be telling Mommy!""

Cataclysm's runt brother, and emphasis on "runt". Hairball is Assistant Supreme Commander of Catatonia's invasion forces, and how he got there is a true mystery considering that he's missing a few brain cells.

Tropes associated with Hairball:


 * Aliens Of Russia
 * Cats Are Mean
 * Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas
 * The Napoleon
