Line 50:
*** Another example from Spider-Man's corner of the MU would be Nick Katzenberg, a Daily Bugle photographer and professional rival to Peter Parker. While not evil, Katzenberg was sleazy, immoral, and generally unpleasant.
* Also in the [[Marvel Universe]] is the Slug; a drug dealer who makes the Kingpin look svelte. He is so obese he cannot move without the aide of a motorised chair and can suffocate people in the folds of his flesh.
* Another Marvel example is Douglas Carmody, one of ''[[Power Pack]]'''s few recurring bad guys. A fat, middle aged, balding, jobless, [[Fantastic Racism]] fueled, ex-bureaucrat who barely fits in his low-end [[Power Armor]] that manages to remain one of the group's biggest threats simply because he knows their secret identity, fights them one at a time and is not afraid to trick the small children. {{spoiler|This is taken to an extreme during ''[[Inferno (Comic Book)|Inferno]]'' when [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|he's thrown into limbo and demons eat his "greasy" soul away]] turning him into a grotesque obese shark monster.}}
* Allfather D'Aronique from ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' is fat to the point that his personal aircraft inevitably sustains damage landing. On the top of that, he's also bulimic. As such, D'Aronique has no qualms about [[Jabba Table Manners|messily gorging himself with food and then vomiting all over himself in front of his subordinates]].
* The cynical fatty tabby, ''[[Garfield]]''. Other than abusing Odie and making his owner's life hell, he does nothing but eat and sleep.
Line 165:
* Ugly Naked Guy in ''[[Friends]]''.
** Interestingly enough, in a flashback episode, the character was described by Phoebe as "cute naked guy" who was just starting to put on some weight. By the time of "The One Where Monica Gets a Room-Mate", he was fat.
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': has two examples: Jim and Nerus. Jim was the persona of Anubis's projection onto the [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|Ascended Plane]]. He was a fat, abrasive man at the Astral Diner who delighted in mocking the ascended being who made his ascension possible: {{spoiler|Oma Desala}}. Keep in mind that Anubis was a [[Complete Monster]] [[Omnicidal Maniac]] with [[A God Am I|a god complex]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|who was considered evil even by Goa'uld standards.]] Nerus was a minor Goa'uld who appeared in two episodes: "Beachhead" and "Off the Gird", both in Season 9. He was likely inspired by [[Greek Mythology|Dionysus]]/[[Roman Mythology|Bacchus]]. He was described by Vala Mal Doran as the definition of "avarice and gluttony". He was deceitful and had many [[Squick|...appetites]]. He got what was coming to him though when the SGC sent him back to Ba'al (whom he had betrayed in his first appearance) with a box of the Hostess cakes he so loved with claiming to have only served the [[Religion of Evil|Ori]] as a spy. {{spoiler|[[Hoist by His Own Petard|The cakes contained subspace transmitters that planted a virus in the ship's shields and navigation systems and broadcast their location to human forces who quickly arrived and took them all out,]] [[You Have Failed Me...|though not before Ba'al killed him.]]}}
 
 
Line 200:
* Interesting case in ''[[BioShock (series)|Bioshock 2]]''. Buck Raleigh is a fat, ruthless, [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]. However, he is the most sympathetic of the multiplayer characters. He was never interested in plasmids but started using them when {{spoiler|his wife disappeared. Almost a year later it turns out she was leading a revolt against him.}}
* [[Wario Land|Wario]], though he's got [[Stout Strength|plenty of muscle]] as well.
* Porky Minch, the [[Enfante Terrible]] co-[[Big Bad]] of ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]''; his name is something of a [[Lampshade Hanging]], and his Fat Bastard status is later played up in full force as an [[Animal Motif]] in his [[Big Bad]] status in ''[[Mother 3]]'', where his [[The Empire|empire]], army and everything else are pig-themed.
** ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'' also provides a subversion in the form of Apple Kid. He's fat, apparently unhygienic and socially awkward, and accordingly less popular among the citizens of Twoson than rival Orange Kid, who's thinner, has considerably better social skills, and uses this to get funding for his work. Then the subversion comes into play - Orange Kid is a [[Small Name, Big Ego]] type with virtually no talent to back up the formidable sums of money he asks for, whereas Apple Kid is an absolute genius who actually cares about the fate of the world, plays a massive role in enabling the heroes to defeat Giygas, and never asks for anything in return.
* Jack Turner of the ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' games is one of Mr. Big's thugs, and the leader of a tough gang of bikers called the Black Cats. At the age of 13, he subdued a rampaging bear.
* Dong Zhuo, as depicted in the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' games.
Line 311:
* Rat Matsison from ''[[The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat]]''.
* Ms. Teets from ''[[Good Vibes]]''.
* Penny from ''[[The Mighty B!]]''.
* Peg-Leg Pete from ''[[Classic Disney Shorts]]'' and the rest of the Disney canon. The degrees of bastardy have varied over the years, from being a ''[[Complete Monster]]'' to ''[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]'', but he always qualifies.
* There's [[The Don|the mob boss Mandragora]] from [[Justice League Unlimited]], a homage to the Kingpin. Not only is he both fat, yet very physically powerful, he's also a repulsive, murderous bastard.
