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

** He ''is'' one of the more competent and likely the most experienced hero.

* [[Adorkable]]

* [[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.

=== Big Daddy/ Damon McCready ===

 

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of Punisher, minus the skull. {{spoiler|And tragic backstory, it turns out}}.

* [[Gun Nut]]

* [[Informed Ability]]: He kills ''one'' person in the comic, and it's via [[Boom Headshot|Sniper Rifle]].

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Knife Nut]]: She adores butterfly knives and swords, although she is a pretty good shot as well.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Possibly the epitome of this trope.

* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]

* [[Vigilante Man|Vigilante Girl]]

* [[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 ===

 

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

 

=== Marty Eisenberg/Battle Guy & Todd Haynes/Ass Kicker ===

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: In Volume 2

* [[Blatant Lies]]: Marty tells Justice Forever a story involving his parents being killed & eaten in front of him to serve as his motivation for becoming a vigilante. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Dave immediately sees through it & reveals that it's all a lie]].

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: In-universe, Marty & Todd are the source of "Tunk", the [[Spear Counterpart]] to... [[Country Matters|that word Hit Girl infamously said]].

* [[Those Two Guys]]

'''Played By:''' [[Aaron Johnson]] }}

* [[Adorkable]]

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]

* [[Costumed Nonsuper Hero]]

{{quote| ''Tool up, honey bunny. It's time to get bad guys.''<br />

'''Played By:''' [[Nicolas Cage]] }}

* [[Badass]]

* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Tragic Hero]]

* [[Vigilante Man]]

* [[Widower Hero]]

 

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

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Knife Nut]]: She adores butterfly knives and swords, although she is a pretty good shot as well.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Possibly the epitome of this trope.

* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Vigilante Man|Vigilante Girl]]

* {{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]]

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

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Has one increasing steadily throughout the movie. He executes someone in broad daylight, goes batshit at his henchmen and starts doing cocaine (which was implied he kicked several years before).

* [[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.

 

'''Played By:''' Michael Rispoli }}

* [[Affably Evil]]: He seems like such a nice guy when not murdering people on behalf of his boss.

* [[The Dragon]]: for Frank.

 

* [[Shallow Love Interest]]

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Her relationship with Dave. And she dated Rasul because she thought he was a kind [[The Woobie|woobie]] before realizing he was far from it.

 

=== Marty Eisenberg & Todd Haynes ===

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: He appears a little disturbed by the live online feed of Big Daddy and Kick-Ass being tortured. Not that he lifts a single finger to do anything or ever complains to Frank.

 

=== Marcus Williams ===

* [[Black Best Friend]]

* [[Promotion to Parent]]

 

=== Some Armenian Kid With A History Of Mental Issues ===

* [[I Believe I Can Fly]]: Averted.
