My Name Is Inigo Montoya/Playing With

Basic trope: The character announces themselves to their opponents so they know who is about to pound them.


 * Straight: Bob introduces himself and kicks the villain's ass.
 * Exaggerated: "My name is Robert Winston Arthur Willam Strawman-Williamson, PHD. I was born on 10th of January, 31337 to George Patrick Strawman and Alice Elizabeth Axebanger-Williamson. I graduated from..."
 * Justified: Bob has been using a secret identity until the moment.
 * Could also be that he has only been referred to by a nickname for the entirety of the adventure.
 * Inverted: Bob kicks the villain's ass and reveals his name in a Pre Mortem One Liner.
 * ...or a Post Mortem One Liner.
 * Subverted: Bob introduces himself, but then the villain reveals that his death will trigger the Doomsday Device.
 * Alternatively: Bob uses a false name.
 * Double Subverted: The Doomsday Device is disarmed and Bob proceeds to kick the villain's ass.
 * The villain guesses that the name was false, and Bob admits his true name to the villain in an equally triumphant manner.
 * Parodied: Bob opens his autobiography and starts reading it to the villain. The villain listens patiently.
 * Deconstructed: The villain shoots Bob before he gets to pronounce his name.
 * Reconstructed: Bob shouts his name during a Dynamic Entry, and gets the drop on the villain despite taking the time to announce himself.
 * Alternately: Bob shouts his name while he's kicking the villain's ass
 * Zig Zagged: Bob only introduces himself to some of the villains, but not the others.
 * Averted: Bob doesn't bother to introduce himself.
 * Or the villain knows Bob's name already.
 * Enforced: "You know, we need something really awesome to start the final battle. How about we have the main character tell the villain who he is?"
 * Lampshaded: "As if hadn't known your name..."
 * Invoked: The villain asks Bob who he is.
 * Defied: "You don't have to introduce yourself, Bob."
 * Bob refuses to tell the bad guy who he is.
 * Discussed: "These heroic types always announce themselves, the glory hounds..."
 * Conversed: "Watch, Bob's gonna announce himself to the villain now...yup, there he goes."
