Kick-Ass (film)/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]

* [[Casual Kink]]: His superhero obsession is presented as such. Unusually for such a... weird fetish (but in line with the trope), it's shown to be a healthy outlet for his fantasies, since said fantasies involve community activism and an altruistic outlook on life and society.

* [[Determinator]]: The comic zigzags on whether this is a product of stupidity and nihilism or [[Heroic Willpower]], but it tends to be to his benefit.

* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: {{spoiler|After finding out that Dave was pretending to be gay, Katie's reaction in the comic is ''a lot'' more likely to happen than her hooking up with him in the film}}.

* [[Super Zeroes]]: At least initially. He does toughen up however.

* [[This Loser Is You]]

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: And rather incredibly, refuses to become a [[Knight in Sour Armor]] in spite of all the harsh realities of life he is exposed to.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Two large unfortunately dildo-like batons, which, if lost, he'll sometimes appropriate from the surrounding environment (like chair legs or plywood) and occasionally modify with nails to make them more like a mace.

* [[Anti-Villain]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Twice. Once {{spoiler|when Kick-Ass is about to be sliced open by Razul, and again when he and Big Daddy are just about to be set ablaze by Frank D'Amico's men.}}

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]

* [[True Companions]]: With Kick-Ass, after her dad died. He's pretty much the only person she opens up to at all, and cares dearly for his well-being. He's also her go-to sidekick in the second volume.

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Relies mostly on weapons, because her small size limits mobility and strength.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair:]] It's a wig, but still.

 

* {{spoiler|[[From Nobody to Nightmare]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Talks big, but when push comes to shove, he's just a [[Dirty Coward]] who hides behind his mooks}}.

* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: If you saw [[The Movie]] first, it comes as no surprise that {{spoiler|Red Mist is [[The Mole]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Psychopathic Manchild]]}}

 

=== Johnny G ===

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type I

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]

* [[Determinator]]

* [[Fake American]]: His actor's British.

* [[Super Zeroes]]: Though he eventually mans up and saves the day.

* [[This Loser Is You]]

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: And rather incredibly, refuses to become a [[Knight in Sour Armor]] in spite of all the harsh realities of life he is exposed to.

 

* [[Badass]]

* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of [[Batman]]

* [[Crusading Widower]]

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Like the typical [[Batman]] routine. However...

* [[Vigilante Man]]

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: A rare "good" example.

* {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]}}

 

=== Hit-Girl/Mindy McCready ===

{{quote|''So, you wanna play?''

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type II]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Twice. Once {{spoiler|when Kick-Ass is about to be sliced open by Razul, and again when he and Big Daddy are just about to be set ablaze by Frank D'Amico's men.}}

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]

* [[Child Soldier]]

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]

* [[Enfant Terrible]]

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Sociopathic Hero|Sociopathic Heroine]].

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Worf Effect]]: Played straight, twice. She's a human killing machine, going through [[Mook|Mooks]] like they were nothing. However, during her [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] at the end of the film, she is almost killed when she runs out of ammo and was about to be killed by a rocket launcher when Dave/Kiss Ass came out to help with the jetpack they modified with mini-guns. And then, during her fight with Frank D'Amico, it was a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] that nearly ''killed'' her and was only lucky because Dave/Kiss Ass was able to grab the rocket launcher from before and use it to kill D'Amico. If it wasn't for Dave, she would have been dead both times.}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair:]] It's a wig, but still.

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Bald of Evil]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[The Don]]

* [[Kingpin in His Gym]]: Keeps a dojo in his penthouse and is a capable martial artist.

* [[Red Right Hand]]: The scar on his forehead, which looks like a cross between a spiral and parentheses.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: His interaction with his son is a very weak [[Pet the Dog]].

* [[Would Hit a Girl]] / [[Would Hurt a Child]]: He has no qualms in giving a roundhouse kick to an eleven year old girl's face and then giving her a thorough vicious beat down. Though in his defense she is also an unstoppable killing machine who single handedly slaughtered his entire building full of mooks.
