OK, they're not exactly fictional, but...
=== Adam Savage ===

----
Tropes associated with Adam:
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Nice Hat]]: The fedora he frequently wears.
** Also, if any test result is remotely compatible with his head, he will wear it.
* [[One of Us]]: Apparently Adam has a bit of a tradition of going to conventions in concealing cosplay so nobody knows who he is. Among others, he's gone as No-Face from ''[[
* [[Pyromaniac]]

=== Jamie Hyneman ===

----
Tropes associated with Jamie:
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Bullet-Proof Fashion Plate]]: Multiple members of the cast and crew have expressed bafflement at how he always manages to keep his white shirt spotless. Turns out he actually was using (and continues to use) a special clothing treatment that basically makes any fabric it's applied to impervious to most liquids.
* [[The Comically Serious]]
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: Considering Adam's description of the team as [[True Companions|"like family"]], it is fitting that Jamie has been occasionally referred to as "Uncle Jamie" -- twice by ''Adam'', of all people ("Ancient Death Ray", 2004 -- during the "What is Bulletproof?" segment, and again during "Tablecloth Chaos" in 2010) and also by Robert Lee, the narrator ("Viral Hour", 2008, during the Sawdust cannon section.).
* [[Human Alien]]: "This crater is about the same size as the one left by Jamie when he first came to Earth." -- Adam Savage
* [[Memetic Badass]]: If he isn't among the fanbase, he sure as hell is [[In
* [[Nice Hat]]: His trademark beret.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: One theory, proposed by Adam.
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
** This is perhaps a case of [[Character Development]] as with Adam since it's been mentioned that early on in the show, he was not particularly comfortable on camera and took the job fairly seriously. With time and exposure, it's possible he's gotten comfortable with the idea that for a fairly light hearted show, it allows for a fairly serious platform for science and education.
** He seems to play this up for a laugh in the men versus women episode. When the mythbusters are told to show various emotions for a test to see who can read emotions better. Jamie says the emotion then keeps his face completely emotionless.

Tropes associated with Grant:
Line 63 ⟶ 64:
* [[Robosexual]]
* [[Squee]]: Approaches squee-levels when working with robots.
* [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]: Passed away unexpectedly in July 2020 at the age of 49.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: In one episode, Grant spent the entire episode tossing cardboard boxes out of cars and trucks. He somehow makes this look awesome.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Grant's solution to everything: build a robot.
** [[The All

=== Tory Belleci ===

Line 78 ⟶ 81:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: A lot of times, things the team think are dangerous are lost on Tory.
* [[The Klutz]]

=== Kari Byron ===
[[File:Mythbusters_Kari_Byron_2_9271.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|
----
Tropes associated with Kari:
Line 95 ⟶ 99:
* [[Hot Mom]]: Gave birth to her first child in June 2009.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Sometimes, as she's prone to wearing tight-fitting tank-tops. Also, her first appearance on the show was dressing in spandex leggings to have her butt laser-scanned for computer modeling. And the guys weren't averse to bringing up or showing her FHM photos, though they quit doing that after a while.
* [[Older Than They Look]]:
* [[Parasol of Prettiness]]: Under the Californian sun down at the bomb range, Kari has been known to carry one.
* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Even when heavily pregnant, she went out and participated in some of the myths. Some which included guns, cannons and/or explosives.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: She's more than once related seeing an impressive explosion to "having your first kiss."
* [[Terrified of Germs]]: As revealed in "Fever Pitch". Of course, this quality enabled her to prove that it's possible to avoid contracting a cold or flu via indirect contact ''if'' you know what you're doing.

Line 131 ⟶ 138:
