Line 19:
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: He does do very heroic stuff on occasion, but also admits to enjoying being a dick.
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/16/164-the-voice-of-the-enemy/ WHATEVER Alex did to Wily here certainly counts].
** Very much so in the non-canon omakes, where he's responsible for the atomized murder of at least 25 people via [[BFG|plasma cannon]], including but not limited to [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Link]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[The Weakest Link|Anne Robinson]]...and [[Ernest Hemingway]]. One wonders if it's begun to stray toward [[Crossing the Line Twice|Crossing The Line Three Times]] or so, by now.
** His sociopathic tendancies are in fact so pronounced that Wily, a publicly-acknowledged villain (turned-unwilling-politician), is already horrified of what he might be capable of via his weapons and equipment.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: For all his vulgarity and selfishness, Alex is actually very well read.
Line 30:
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Well, five. And not the original deadly sins. But they do annoy him.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Alex is [[Cluster F-Bomb|a bit of a potty mouth]]. This gets [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Ryan in [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/16/164-the-voice-of-the-enemy/ this strip].
** In ''[http://www.captainsnes.com/2006/02/07/517-the-legendary-swear-down-on-sailor-street/ The Legendary Swear-down on Sailor Street]'', Alex claims (sarcastically) that he not only might have achieved "[[Power Makes Your Hair Grow|a state of trascendent power]]" by swearing so much, but that the [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Great Old Ones]] might have been summoned.
*** Not long after that, Dr. Light states a strong desire to wash that boy's mouth out, with Wily at first mistaking it for "wishing to blow up the Gamemaster for having a potty mouth"...
* [[Time Stands Still]]: A power he inherited from the previous Game Master, via the game controller
Line 49:
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Mario has... a lot of quirks. But he's viewed with hushed awe by most of Videoland.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Despite Magus' complaints and his own actions, Mario knows the nature of Videoland quite thoroughly, is quite dangerous to anyone not enforcing their local reality on him, to the point where even Vegeta refers to him as 'The Great One'. [[Power Levels|He is rated 9 on the threat scale]], second behind the ''Sovereign of Sorrow herself.'' To put this in perspective, the only other threat level 9 character shown so far was an insane end-boss god-being that was tearing Nexus apart block-by-block.
* [[No Hero to His Valet]]: [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]] thinks he's a complete flake. He's wrong, but you can see where he's coming from.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: His solution to every problem is to jump on its head. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/03/03/474-unwanted-help/ He even refused to help Mega Man] in a fight against giant radioactive Q-Bert because Mega Man didn't try jumping on his head before asking for help. (Not that Mario didn't have a point, though - [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/07/21/583-civil-showdown/ jumping on Q-Bert's head was exactly what ultimately killed him].)
 
Line 103:
 
* [[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...
* [[Badass Normal]]: He's supposedly [http://captainsnes.com/data1.html a perfectly ordinary housecat]... that nonetheless so far managed to steal the Met Hat and Yang's black belt, trick [[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Kain Highwind]] into a fight that (thanks to the aforementioned items) turned out to be a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]] for Kain and take out upwards of 71 [[Mecha -Mooks|robot mooks]] by [[Deadly Dodging]]. Even Game Masters fear him.
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: He's a "perfectly ordinary house cat". From Videoland. Where the phrase is anything but.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: What he did to the Blue Mecha ? That was just cruel.
Line 109:
* [[Immune to Fate]]: Maybe.
* [[Killer Rabbit|Killer Cat]]: Even Alex knows his limits, and the greatest of them all is trying to fight Schrödinger, rather than work with him. When Ryan shouted that he could do it, {{spoiler|moments after the prison complex lost main power}}, Alex laughed in his face; for five minutes or so.
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: Oh dear ''God''... He first appeared in Videoland when Hope initially tried to summon the new [[Game Master]], but Schrödinger showed up instead. Since then, he kept derailing ''everything'': he ruined [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/07/19/005-the-coming-of-the-captain/ Lucca's plan to bring Marle back from another dimension by getting Alex instead] and later also her plan to save Marle [http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/11/20/058-the-cat-strikes-back/ by going to the Final Fantasy IV world instead of Crono]. This simultaneously ruined Spoony's plan [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/09/27/393-question-with-an-unexpected-answer/ to kill Crono and corrupt Marle]. Then he stole the Met Hat from Alex, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2010/03/16/612-hats-off-to-you-schrodinger/ making it impossible for Wily to track Alex's movements]. Later he further hindered Spoony's plans by [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/10/09/398-mr-suckypants/ stealing the map from Kain], making it impossible for him to find the tower of Babil on his own. When Kain's [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]] helped him find the tower and get crystals that Spoony needs to open a path to the moon for the Sovereign of Sorrow, Schrödinger just [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/11/08/411-bait-and-switch/ stole 3 crystals from Kain] and tricked him into [[Hopeless Boss Fight]], trapping him. So it's probably a bad news for Ryan that Schrödinger somehow managed to escape from Alex's cell...

Line 154:
* {{spoiler|[[Reality Warper]]}}
* [[Super Empowering]]: Can enhance a Sprite's nature to impressive levels.
* [[Touched Byby Vorlons]]: More like she is the Vorlon... and it's not a good touch.
* [[Visionary Villain]] / [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Or at least she claims to be this [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/04/29/325-the-shard-of-tears/ in her conversation with Magus]. Apparently she doesn't want to destroy the Videoland simply [[For the Evulz]]; she considers the lives of its inhabitants to be full of pain and she wants to [[Mercy Kill|free them from their suffering by killing them]].
 
Line 164:
'''Eggplant Wizard'''
 
* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]: You can't actually learn magic from a ''[[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Mage: The Ascension]]'' book. That doesn't stop him.
* [[Body Snatcher]]: He cast a spell on the survivors of the Argo that made it possible for him to do this. Whenever he gets killed, he just takes over one of the survivors' bodies and transforms it into his own - while his victim dies in his place. This saves his life in a fight against [[Metroid|Samus Aran]].
* [[Evil Gloating]]: Tries this twice on Samus Aran. Gets shot in the face and frozen solid for trying.
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: His attempt to [[Mind Probe]] Samus not only has her breaking him, but she also plants a telepathic suggestion that eventually makes him break her out.
** His [[Mind Probe]] on Golbez also doesn't work out so hot.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: The [[Mind Probe]]. Also, being a [[Body Snatcher]] made it possible for {{spoiler|[[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Golbez]]}} to threaten him with [[Fate Worse Than Death]] {{spoiler|and he was saved only by the Monkeyspank virus's intervention.}}
* [[Mind Probe]]: Attempts this on Samus. It backfires. ''Horribly''.
** He tries this again on Golbez. It backfires slightly less horribly.
Line 184:
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: He has one about the nature of his love for Rosa [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/07/01/157-kains-flashback-3-kains-revelation-2/ in episode 157].
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: The side effect of his brainwashing.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: He is completely obsessed with Queen Rosa, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/05/02/107-hopefully-hes-not-into-sheisen-2/ to the point where he built] [[Stalker Shrine|a (disturbing) shrine to her]]. Eventually, [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/10/25/405-tock-of-the-clock/ he got his own stalker with a crush.]
* [[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]:
Line 227:
'''Alanis Morrisette'''
 
* [[Did We Just Have Tea Withwith Cthulhu?]]: She helps Alex out sometimes.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She's naked. A lot.
** Although, judging from [http://www.captainsnes.com/2003/01/18/264-censorship-isnt-all-bad-2/ this comic], it's more a case of Innocent [[Fan Disservice]] Girl.
Line 262:
* [[Black and White Morality|Druggies VS Non-Druggies Morality]]
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: During their confrontation, after Mario dodges his bullets and teases him for it, Max Force claims he did not miss Mario because he was actually shooting a drug tree, invisible drug beetles and drug-filled air molecules.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Max Force makes [[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Miko Miyazaki]] look like a saint in comparison.
* [[Mind Probe]]: Subjected to one by Magus, whom was attempting to find out just what happened to him. Ended up as a...
* [[Mind Rape]]: When Magus tried to dig a little too forcibly.
Line 332:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: He gladly joins forces with Dr. Light, since there's no point in taking over Videoland if the Sovereign of Sorrow destroys everything. However, it's pretty obvious that he's simultaneously [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/07/17/582-wave-of-hope/ plotting] [http://www.captainsnes.com/2010/03/16/612-hats-off-to-you-schrodinger/ something] (most likely) evil.
* [[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 (Video Game)|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.
{{quote| '''Wily''': [[I Can't Believe I'm Saying This|I miss Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo.]]}}
** 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]].
