However, he ended up becoming addicted to street fighting and, after breaking up with Jessica, was arrested by old nemesis Edi. E. He's then arrested again for taking the blame for a crime Guy committed (though he can escape [[Cardboard Prison|at any time he wants]]), which led to the end of their friendship. Once again released from prison, Cody's fighting had taken it'sits toll on his knees, so now he trains and lives fights through his younger brother, Kyle in ''Final Fight: Streetwise''.}}
 
* [[Anti-Hero]]: After the first ''Final Fight''. He's a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type]] [[Good Is Not Nice|III]] [[Jerkass Facade|on the outside]], but a [[Knight in Sour Armor|Type II]] at heart.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: He only appeared in the first game of the series, returning for the polygonal games.

** In ''Streetwise'', {{spoiler|Belger turns him into a fighting monster via drugs}}.
** Judging from his intro quote in ''Super [[Street Fighter IV]]'', he's ''still'' like this. Granted, ''Streetwise'' [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|occurs later in the joint timeline]] than ''Super Street Fighter IV''.<ref>That is, if ''Streetwise'' [[Canon Discontinuity|will ever]] ''[[Canon Discontinuity|happen]]'', considering the reception ''Streetwise'' had and the fact that Capcom even canceled plans for a Japanese localization.</ref>

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Him and Guy.
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: When ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'' was released for the arcades, Cody was featured either featured prominently or specifically focused on in the promotional illustrations, despite not being even the highest profile new character to the game.

* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: Just like Maki, [http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/File:FF3Lucia.png official art] shows the Lucia has some noticeable biceps. Her sprites, however, merely give Lucia an athletic build.
Line 204:

She and her [[Palette Swap]] Roxy (who may also have been a man in another life) were the gang's acrobatic fighters. After Mad Gear's defeat, Poison develops a crush on Cody and purses him in ''Final Fight: Revenge''. She realizes that Cody will never love her, and after he's arrested, Poison moves on. Some time afterward, she reunites with her old partner Hugo Andore from Mad Gear, and together, they make a legitimate career in professional wrestling, Poison being the manager and Hugo doing the work.}}
 
{{examples}}
{{quote|The tropes below explains the long complicated story on why Poison and Roxy are [[Transsexualism|transwomen]]/[[She's a Man In Japan|transvestites]].}}
 
{{quote|Refer to this fan-made [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}3Lj-9npanOI&feature{{=}}colike documentary] for ''actual facts'' on Poison's gender confusion saga.}}
 
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Their genders. Character bios in manuals, guide books, and even design documents, clearly labels them as male (or "newhalf," a Wasei-eigo term for transwomen).
Line 250 ⟶ 248:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: From a regular [[Mook]] and cameos in Hugo's appearances in ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' and ''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos]]'', to playable in ''Revenge'' and ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]''.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: This character profile from ''[[SNK vs. Capcom|Card Fighters DS]]'' said it best.
** UDON's World Warrior Encyclopedia includes this "gem":▼
{{quote|''"She's a man, baby! But she's prettier and sexier than any other woman."''}}
▲** UDON's World Warrior Encyclopedia includes this gem:
{{quote|''"She may seem like a dynamite babe, but anyone who knows the real Poison will tell you she's anything but ladylike!"''}}
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Poison and Roxy wear midriff white tank tops.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: They fight in heels, and they never seem to fall off despite all the acrobatics they do.
* [[Crossover]]: Was supposed to appear in the cancelled ''Capcom Fighting All Stars'' before finally making her crossover debut in ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]''.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: MuchSome of the confusion of Poison's gender comes from ''Final Fight: Revenge'', an American-designed 3D fighting game in which Poison was depicted as born female. The Japanese localization reverted backreferred to her by her birth sex. Roxy's gender is classified "female" in the character bios of ''Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1'', but this is nothing but a Capcom USA retcon.
* [[Expy]]: Poison and/or Roxy's younger sister, Poison Kiss in ''Mighty Final Fight'', who is actually female.
* [[Kick Chick]]: Mostly true in the original games as most of their best-known attacks were kicks. By ''Revenge'', ''Street Fighter X Tekken'' and ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'', this would be evened out for Poison as she used her riding crop to attack.
* [[Kiss of Death]]: Complete with [[Heart Symbol|hearts]].
Line 263 ⟶ 260:
* [[Palette Swap]]: Poison has pink hair, while Roxy has orange.
* [[She Fu]]: Given the time when she was released, it's only natural that this is how she fights.
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]/[[Transgender]]: The original Japanese refers to her as [[Intersex|a "newhalf"]], while States-side she is portrayed as a trans woman. In both cases, this was done to get around the stringent standards of 80s [[Nintendo]], who frowned upon depictions of hitting women. [[Unfortunate Implications|You can figure out the problem with this approach from here]].
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: But post-op in the States.
** Her later appearances aren't exactly tactful about it either, as seen with the JP release of ''[[Final Fight: Revenge]]'' and [[SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters (series)|the ''SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters'' series]] of games.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Extenuated by their short shorts and 5'9 frames.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Poison is named after a band. As Billy and Sid, they are named after [[Billy Idol]] and [[Sex Pistols|Sid Vicious]].
Line 270 ⟶ 268:
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Poison. Whether or not Roxy is one is up for debate.
* [[Villainous Crush]]: On Cody, according to ''Revenge''.
* [[Whip It Good]]: In ''Final Fight Revenge''. InFrom ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' on, she uses a riding crop.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Hot pants to be specific.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Or /Neon Orange Hair]]: In Billy's case, it's green.
 
=== The Andore Family ===
{{quote|Originally hailing from West Germany, the Andore Family are a family of hulking brutes that worked under Belger as members of the Mad Gear gang. They consisted of Andore, Andore Jr., Father Andore, Uncle Andore, and Grandfather Andore. After the fall of the original Mad Gear gang, Andore tried to pick a fight with Haggar on TV in ''[[Final Fight]]: Revenge'', to no avail. He, Grandfather Andore and Andore Jr. then worked for Retu's Mad Gear faction in ''[[Final Fight]] 2''. Andore was then later recruited by the Skull Cross gang in ''Final Fight 3'' and crime lord Vito Bracca as a pit fighter in ''Final Fight: Streetwise''.}}

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Andores' may be slow (still faster than the fat enemies), but their attacks freaking hurt! In addition to their punch attacks, they have a charging punch, a choke attack, a throw, and can jump on you when you're knocked down. The Andore family have the most health out of all the mooks.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: They are named and modeled after famed wrestler André the Giant (''Andore'' is pronounced "An-do-re," which is also the Japanese pronunciation for ''Andre'').

E was one of the lucky few to escape prosecution and even threw some of his fellow members in jail just to throw everyone off. In ''[[Final Fight]]: Revenge'', Edi. E grew to hate Cody and helped to get Cody arrested. When Cody broke out of jail in ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]] 3]]'', Edi. E wasn't far behind.}}

{{quote|A German-American mercenary, Rolento F. Schugerg formerly served the American special forces unit the Red Berets before joining Mad Gear as sub-leader, managing the gang's secret drug plant located at Metro City's Industrial Area in the original ''[[Final Fight]]''. The stage was left out of both SNES versions, so Rolento returned as a near-endgame boss of Retu's Mad Gear gang in ''[[Final Fight]] 2'' in Italy to compensate for it. In ''[[Final Fight]]: Revenge'' and the ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]]'' series, Rolento's priorities had changed. He now wants to start his own Utopian Nation with the aid of Mad Gear's knife fighters.

* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: Dressed like he's going to a formal event of some kind, complete with bow-tie.

{{quote|Devin Aranoc akaa.k.a. the Stiff is [[The Dragon]] to Father Bella. He kidnaps Cody after a his thugs fight him and Kyle in Vanessa's bar. Kyle finds Stiff and fights him in a hotel.

The second fight takes place on the roof of the hotel, where Stiff is unarmed. Stiff is defeated by Kyle and is knocked off the roof.

Line 676 ⟶ 673:
 
=== Dr. Chang ===
{{quote|Dr. Chang is responsible for the creation of GLOW, though she only did so because threatened to kill her. She meets Kyle in a Fish Packing Plant. Kyle rescues her, and she reveals that the effects of the GLOW will ware off once the drug has run it's course. She leaves to help people in the city, but is once again kidnapped and force to work for Bella. He makes her make his version of the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] using the glow.

=== Pestilence ===
{{quote|Pestilence is the third of Father Bella's Four Horsemen Kyle will face in Little Italy. Unlike the other horsemen, Pestilence does not seem to have been originally human. Instead, its body seems to be comprised of the corpses of GLOW victims. Initially, Pestilence fights very slowly by spilling acidic GLOW in the nearby area, throwing one of its many limbs and firing out explosive GLOW bubbles at Kyle. Kyle defeated Pestilence a first time, but the creature changed its form into a slimmer, more humanlike form. In this form, Pestilence used fighting combos, energy blasts and grabbing church pews to use as weapons against Kyle.}}

In reality, there were two versions of Death: the first one was discovered in the Fish Packing Plant at the Pier District. In addition to his physical attacks, Death uses his mutated bones from his body as weapons and can generate electricity from his body, to protect himself or harm Kyle. He can also eat GLOW-induced rats to regain life.}}
 
{{quote|Kyle faces the second Death on the roof of Father Bella's church. Death's attacks are all unblockable with his Hurricane Punch, Earth Splitter and Power Storm attacks generating green energy from his body.

He also held a personal vendetta against Cody. With the services of Stiff, Blades and Weasel, Bella spread GLOW throughout the city and planned to have mob boss Vito Bracca take the blame.}}
 
{{quote|When Kyle faces Death, Bella, first stands on the sidelines, but after he's defeated once, Bella becomes more daring in the second round. As Death attacks, Bella stands a safe distance away, using a bazooka, grenades and a machine gun against Kyle while Death also attacks Kyle. When Death is defeated, Bella will inject more GLOW in his body to heal him, holding Kyle off with a sword. Only when both Death and Bella are defeated does Kyle win the fight.}}

{{quote|Three of the pit fighters Kyle fights in ''[[Final Fight]]: Streetwise'' are Handsome Bob, the Locksmith and the Ghost. Handsome Bob, whose not really that handsome, is Kyle's first opponent who, when knocked down, gets up with a rising hook punch. The Locksmith is a black guy who is only slightly quicker than Handsome Bob and has a [[Street Fighter II|Flash Kick]] that can combo into an unblockable forward kick. The Ghost may just well be Joe from ''[[Street Fighter (video game)|Street Fighter]]'', but they really don't say in the game. He is a Muay Thai fighter under Vito Bracca who is a very quick fighter.}}
 
* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Ghost, who has one elbow strike and kicks for the rest of the attacks.

He asks the Skin about it in his parlor and unexpectelly clocks Kyle over the head with a cash register. The tattoo is revealed to belong to Guy. After some misunderstandings, Lou fights Kyle using his acrobatic fighting style and loads of kicks. Kyle defeats him, and Lou becomes a pit fighter, Kyle can face in Japantown.}}

=== Jessica ===
{{quote|Jessica is Mike Haggar's daughter and Cody's ex-girlfriend who must have a [[Damsel in Distress]] sign taped to her back. She is carried off by Damnd in the beginning of ''[[Final Fight]]'' and taken to Mad Gear's hideout. When the heroes finally do find her, she is held tightly by Belger in his lap, but escapes after his wheelchair is broken. Ultimately, she is saved by Cody and the rest in the game's ending. In ''[[Final Fight]] Revenge'', she disappears which plays a central role in that game's storyline. It is never resolved in any of the characters' endings, but Haggar does rescue her from danger. Eventually, Cody and Jessica break up after Cody couldn't give up his destructive behavior, and she travels to Europe shortly after. She occasionally makes cameos in games involving ''Final Fight'' characters.}}

* [[Daddy's Girl]]: Loves her father dearly, to the point where she is in her father's win poses in ''[[Saturday Night Slam Masters]]''.

Line 836 ⟶ 832:
{{quote|Rena is Guy's fiancée and Genryusai's eldest daughter. Like Genryusai, she is taken captive by Retu during the events of ''[[Final Fight]] 2''. Unlike Jessica and her sister Maki, she and her father haven't appeared since.}}
 
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: No mention of Rena is made after this game... despite the fact that by Guy's most recent appearances (namely, ''Super [[Street Fighter IV]]'' and ''Streetwise''), they should be [[Happily Married]], perhaps with kids of their own. It's one of the many reasons (besides Guy's [[Relationship Writing Fumble|possibly unintentional]] [[Ship Tease]] with [[Street Fighter Alpha|Rose]] in ''SSFIVSuper Street Fighter IV'') that fans believe that [[Canon Discontinuity|only the first installment of this series is canon to]] ''Street Fighter'' lore.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]/[[Save the Princess]]: The objective of the ''Final Fight 2'' was to rescue her and her father from the Mad Gear Gang.

{{quote|Paco is a tattoo artist that lives in the same building as Kyle, and is trained as a boxer in ''Final Fight: Streetwise''. If paid $100, he'll help Kyle save 2-Ill at the beginning of the game. He also helps Kyle by telling him about Lou "The Skin" designing the tattoo on the mysterious person in Cody's picture. He also trains people for money in Tiger's gym. At one point in the game, he asks Kyle to get rid of the cockroaches in his infested apartment to keep the health inspector away. Apparently, he "smells as bad as a bum at the Barfly, but at least looks like he can throw a punch"."}}
