Captain SNES/Characters: Difference between revisions

'''Alex Williams'''

 

 

* [[Anti-Hero]]: In the early strips Alex was pretty much antihero [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|type I]], not particularly caring about helping anyone (he was actually surprised when [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/10/09/40-light-gun-its-a-fricken-bazooka/ Zelda told him he's supposed to rescue Marle] and was quick to point out that he didn't volunteer for this) and mostly concerned about [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/07/31/010-the-important-things/ entertaining himself]. However, he does [[Character Development|become more heroic as the story progresses]], especially after [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/01/22/alex-gets-his-act-together/ episode 471].

'''Mario'''

 

 

* [[Badass]]: Mario is called "The Great One". By ''[[Dragonball Z|Vegeta]]''.

* [[Sharing a Body]] / [[Split Personality]]: In Captain SNES universe the original Mega Man and the Mega Man from ''Captain N'' may be two separate entities. More specifically, Green Mega Man [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/03/24/578-how-soon-we-forget/ is a program created by Dr Wright] that may be only sharing a body with the original Mega Man. However, the relation between them isn't entirely clear - Mega Man insists that they are not the same being, while Green Mega Man [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/06/02/580-meaning-of-the-words/ wants to make him admit they are].

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Very much on the idealistic end, maybe even to the point when he can't understand why someone wouldn't share his beliefs:

 

'''Schrödinger the cat'''

 

 

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Well, the prettiest girl of the Mithril town seemed to find him adorable. Alex would probably disagree though. As for the [[Badass]] part...

** He tries this again on Golbez. It backfires slightly less horribly.

* [[Pungeon Master]]: He constantly makes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|vegetable-themed puns]] -- and, to add insult to injury, right after that [[Don't Explain the Joke|he explains them]].

 

'''Kain Highwind'''

 

 

* [[Badass]]: Spoony at least is confident that Kain would have no problems defeating both Crono and Cecil. Plus, so far all his fights with opponents other than Schrödinger (i.e. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/01/157-kains-flashback-3-kains-revelation-2/ Cecil's guards], Bikke, Gato, Alex, the population of the Mithril town and [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/11/06/410-expected-and-unexpected-battles/ two of Eblan's most elite ninja]) ended with Kain curbstomping them.

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: As a part of Spoony's plan to summon the Sovereign of Sorrow Kain was ordered to kill Bob. He ended up being tricked by Bob into thinking that Bikke was Bob in disguise, letting him go (and eventually help Alex escape from prison) and killing Bikke. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/06/27/154-doesnt-he-know-to-take-the-bad-news-first-2/ Spoony wasn't too happy about this].

* [[Weak-Willed]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/04/30/106-protect-the-environment-recycle-old-jokes/ Lampshaded by Alex]:

 

'''Bowser'''

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She doesn't have a particularly good opinion of Alex and sees no reason to hide it.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Sometimes [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/05/17/336-good-plan-false-assumption/ she has sudden urge to burst into maniacal laughter]. And sometimes she can't resist it.

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]] or [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Twice. First, when {{spoiler|he's disguised as the Drab Lord in the beginning, and is [[Disc One Final Boss|presented as a credible threat]] until the [[Eldritch Abomination|Sovereign of Sorrow]] is revealed}}. The second time was after the Drab Lord's [[Villain Decay]], when Spoony {{spoiler|is revealed AS the Drab Lord, and catches Cecil and Rosa in a rather clever trap.}}

* [[Un Evil Laugh]]: He just [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/06/26/153-the-drab-lord-appears/ can't get evil laugh right].

'''Rydia''': That's Santa Claus's laugh, Golbez Jr. }}

** {{spoiler|That is, until he stops playing around.}}

* [[Divided We Fall]]: He can't exactly be called truly evil. Both he and Alex want to protect the Videoland, but that doesn't stop them from fighting over which one of them should be the Game Master.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: He hates Alex's tendency to swear and tries to either completely avoid swearing himself (he even refuses to say '[http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/03/19/475-the-larger-threat/ bastard]') or at worst use very mild (like '[http://www.captainsnes.com/2004/11/20/462-negative-reinforcement/ heck]') or made-up cuss words.

'''Alex''': (...) Don't use fake swear words. That's just dumb. }}

* [[Knight Templar]]: At least he has shades of this.

* [[The Watson]]: Again, to Alex.

* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: Alex at least seems confident that they knew each other and were friends (though apparently of [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] variety) before they got sucked into Videoland.

'''Alex''': I know it doesn't feel like it now, but we've got history together! Good history! }}

** However, the conversation they had after the exchange quoted above indicates that Alex's captor and the Ryan whom Alex knew may not necessarily be the same person. [[Mind Screw|Or maybe they are. At this point it's hard to tell.]]

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Well, you can't be a [[Mad Scientist]] without pulling [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/05/19/482-the-shadow-of-light/ one of these every now and then].

* [[Kicked Upstairs]] / [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Sure, he is vice-president of Videoland... but the president is [[Popular Is Dumb]] [[Final Fight|Mike Haggar]], who even abolished every tax in Videoland and transformed the presidential palace in a motel to earn the governmental budget. As of Wily's most recent estimates, they're only $99 billion dollars in the red. Wily has to spend pretty much all his time trying to minimize the damage caused by Haggar's decisions.

** Not to mention that he can't try to quit or overrule Haggar, or Proto Man/Blues will take that as proof that he's a [[President Evil]] and kidnap him so he can force him to [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|listen to Garth Brooks]].

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Duh.
