Line 25:
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Although it varies in shade, Chris is invariably dressed in some form of hunter green through every game.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Up to and including ''punching a multi-ton boulder out of the way'' during the [[Final Boss]] fight of 5.
** Some fans joke that the extra muscle mass he sports in ''5'' could only have come from ingesting one of the viruses if not from this trope.
* [[Cool Shades]]: The alternate outfits.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Particularly in ''Resident Evil 5''.
Line 41:
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]
* [[Secret Character]]: In ''[[Resident Evil]] 2'''s Extreme Battle Mode.
* [[Ship Tease]]: In the first big trailer of ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', Chris does a [[Diving Save]] to catch a falling [[Darkstalkers|Morrigan]]. Granted, she had just been stunned by [[Iron Man]], but, the fans didn't let it slide. Morrigan is later shown wrapping her hands lovingly around Chris in the game's opening movie.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: In the intro for the first game. For some reason [[Bowdlerized|was]] [[No Smoking|removed]] in the American version.
* [[True Companions]]: With Jill and Sheva.
Line 52:
{{quote|''"You want S.T.A.R.S.? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S."''}}
Co-protagonist of the first ''RE'', alongside Chris, and also protagonist of the [[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis|third game]]. She's a strong-willed woman and shares a deep friendship with Chris.
She's the primary player character in ''Resident Evil 3'', in which she attempts a "last escape" from the doomed Raccoon City. Aside from the horde of undead standing in her way, she has a bigger problem to deal with, in the form of Nemesis, a B.O.W specifically designed to hunt down and kill any surviving STARS members.
Line 68:
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In ''Resident Evil 5''.}}
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Hers has slightly more variance than Chris, but it's still there. She's consistently dressed in cadet blue through the earlier games, but it gives way to a darker indigo-blue as time goes on.
* [[Determinator]]: She's the irresistible force to Nemesis's immovable object.
** And again in RE5, {{spoiler|where she is still resisting mind control years down the road.}}
** In ''Revelations'', her reaction when confronted with a giant monster {{spoiler|that's big enough to be eating the front of an ocean liner she happens to be standing on}} is to say, in a relatively calm voice, "We can do this, Chris."
Line 84:
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: ''Umbrella Chronicles'' states that, yes, she ''did'' have the nickname "The Master of Unlocking" at the RPD.
** [[Ascended Meme]]/[[Fandom Nod]]
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: Jill is arguably the most iconic character in the series. She's the first canon-verse character to cross over to the films, and she represents ''RE'' in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]''. She returns in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' as [[Downloadable Content|DLC]], with her ''Resident Evil 5'' look.
* [[Kick Chick]]: To contrast Chris, her physicals are usually straight kicks.
** [[She Fu]]: Lots of these too.
Line 115:
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Dollface, Ms. Do-It-Yourself, princess, honey... All given by Billy.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: In Zero, both her and Billy need to [[Kill It with Fire]] with leech-zombies. In ''Umbrella Chronicles'', her counterattack is pushing the zombie off and throwing a small explosive at it. In the REmake, she says how she needs to set off the self-destruct mechanism in Chris's scenario. It may be important to contain the outbreak, but that's also all the proof that STARS is going to get... In Mercenaries Reunion, she gets flame spray.
* [[The Medic]]: Her job on the STARS squad, in the first game she can heal Chris when he visits her in the first aid room of the mansion and in ''The Mercenaries'' mini-games she starts of with and benefits more from medical items.
* [[Science Hero]]: Rebecca's specialties other then medicine being handling chemicals, including those that result in the take-down of the [[Man-Eating Plant]].
* [[Teen Genius]]: The reason for her [[Improbable Age]], she is a newly minted STARS member when disaster strikes.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: In ''0'' and ''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles|Umbrella Chronicles]]'', and especially in the novels where she is elevated to the status of [[Mary Sue]].
Line 137:
* [[Badass]]: For most people, defeating a sinister cult of monstrous puppet masters is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. For Leon? That's just how he earns his paycheck.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: In the [[PlayStation 2]] port and onwards, [http://smhspanthers.k12tn.net/web_student_projects/Matt%27s_css_page/bamboo%283%29/images/Leon_and_Ashley_Alternate_Costumes.gif his second alternate costume is this], complete with a [[Nice Hat]] ''and'' a [[Scarf of Asskicking]]. He even has a special reload animation when he wears the costume while equipped with the Chicago Typewriter. His pose in the status menu also changes.
* [[Bishonen]]: He might just fall under this. While he's not very effeminate (''just look at his muscles''), Leon is much more of a pretty-boy than any of the other male protagonists.
** One of the Policia in the beginning of 4 asks if he "forgot his makeup".
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Another example of icy and piercing, but since they're [[Gray Eyes|blue-gray]], some of the marksman legends creep in as well. Subverted in that Chris is actually the one with a history of being a marksman, not Leon.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In one nightmare-inducing scene.
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: All the girls he ends up protecting develop a crush on him, with the exception of Sherry--who's a child.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: So far, the one with most [[Love Interests]] in the series: Ada, Angela, Ashley, and Manuela all have a thing for him.
** [[Unwanted Harem]] maybe?
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Averted hard. He's the only major character who's never dressed in the same color twice. (Dark blue, army green, brown, and black.)
** Though those are all camouflage/outdoor coloring.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: In [[Resident Evil 4]], he only goes to the village to investigate and ask questions, yet he brings with him a pistol, knife, attache case, flashlight, radio, binoculars, a tracking device and a ''grappling hook''.
** He was investigating a group that had kidnapped the President's daughter, so he had pretty good reason to expect trouble.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Of course, Ada.
Line 160:
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: In the minigames such as "The Mercenaries", he's usually the most balanced character.
* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: In ''4'' and ''Degeneration''.
* [[Knife Nut]]: In ''Resident Evil 4'', particularly. Many of Leon's fights involve knives: the knife fight with Krauser, and the fight with Ada, to name but a few.
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: For Ashley.
* [[Le Parkour]]
Line 170:
* [[Morality Pet]]: To Ada.
* [[Nice Hat]]: A fedora to complement his Chicago 1920s mob alternate outfit (PS2 version onwards). Since the Chicago Typewriter doesn't have to be reloaded, the developers switched the reload animation to Leon adjusting his hat when wearing this outfit. Do it multiple times in a row and he tosses the hat into the air and catches it.
* [[One-Man Army]]: Arguably moreso than any of the other characters.
* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: Really, a bullet to the shoulder did nothing to stop him from fighting a ''giant crocodile!''
* [[Papa Wolf]]: For Ashley.
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: In ''Resident Evil 4''.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: One of the side effects of his Plaga infection.
* [[Say My Name]]: My god! He does this to pretty much everyone.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Hilariously and awesomely so. Just as Salazar attempts to give a confident and well-prepared speech on terrorism, Leon stops him by throwing a knife at his hand that pins him to the wall.
* [[Slept Through the Apocalypse]]: Oversleeping at a distant motel before heading to Raccoon City turned out to be the best mistake of his life.
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: You get to do one with him in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''!
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Subverted. Leon Scott Kennedy does not tolerate smoking, he prefers gum.
{{quote|'''Luis''': Got smoke?
'''Leon''': Got gum... }}
Line 191:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: He start off as a rookie cop, and becomes a [[One-Man Army|One Man Zombie-Slaying Army]] by ''[[Resident Evil]] 4''.
* [[Trap Door Fail]]: Leon narrowly manages to avoid being impaled on spikes by Salazar by using a grappling-hook.
* [[Trash Talk]]: ''Resident Evil 4'' has quite a lot of this between Leon, Saddler and Salazar when the Los Illuminados hack into his radio-phone.
** The constant banter between Leon and Salazar did, however, cause Salazar to have a [[Villainous Breakdown]].
{{quote|'''Leon''': Your right hand comes off?
Line 206:
{{quote|''"Look, you have two choices here: kill or be killed, your call!"''}}
Chris's younger sister, Claire was introduced in ''Resident Evil 2'' alongside Leon, returned in ''Code: Veronica'' where she found her brother, and later reunited with Leon in ''Degeneration''. She's one of the few characters without special training, yet she still holds up fairly well against the zombies.
She is the only character who's kept the same American voice actress ([[Alyson Court]]) throughout every appearance she's made, including ''Degeneration''. (Ada--usually voiced by Sally Cahill--had a different actress in ''Umbrella Chronicles''.)
Line 217:
** According to ''The Darkside Chronicles'', [[I Have Brothers|her brother did give her some basic training]]. Still pretty badass, given everything she can do.
* [[Badass Pacifist]]/[[The So-Called Coward]]: Sort of. After ''Code: Veronica'', Claire, unlike her brother and Leon, has given up actively fighting against bio weapon outbreaks to work with an NGO that focuses on helping its victims. As ''Degeneration'' shows, when push comes to shove, she's still entirely capable of kicking zombie ass. She gets a little mopey at one point about taking a less aggressive role, but Leon snaps her out of it quickly enough.
* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: You lose count of how many times you missed Sherry, and in just ''one'' game.
** May tread into [[Babysitter From Hell]] territory. She did a complete u-turn at the end of the game, which is strange and out of character seeing as she had just spent the entire game risking her life to protect Sherry. Almost immediately after they've all escaped, she buggers off to find Chris and doesn't think twice about leaving her (Sherry) with Leon to take care of.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her most well known outfit, from Code: Veronica has this.
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Once again, she's always dressed in some shade of maroon-pink, even if Code Veronica took it a bit father towards red.
Line 241:
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|Just like his father, Albert Wesker, he possesses (or at least seems to, according to trailer footage) superhuman strength, agility, and endurance. It's implied to be from being born with the a "special bloodtype."}}
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Not ''totally'' bald but it's shaven pretty close, and he's seen doing a lot of pretty cool stuff in the trailer.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Sports a long, straight one down the cheek.
* [[Have We Met?]]: Said by Chris in the Captivate trailer. {{spoiler|Not surprising, considering Jake's parentage and Chris' antagonistic relationship with the late Albert Wesker.}}
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Whether he is a clone or not, as some speculate (though interviews with the director and producer seem to imply otherwise), what is made clear is that he is Albert Wesker's son.}}
Line 391:
{{quote|''"Listen, little girl, if you haven't noticed there's some pretty freaked out things on this train. And I, for one, wanna' get out of here. I don't think we stand a chance of doing it alone."''}}
Former Marine, Billy was wrongfully sentenced to execution for the slaughter of 23 people in Africa. However, when his transport through the Arklay mountains was overrun by mutated leeches (No, seriously...), he escaped. He proceeded to team up with Rebecca Chambers, and the two investigated zombie filled trains and a research facility in the woods. He was last seen in the woods around the mansion area, and hasn't been heard from since.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Chained by Fashion]]: He wears handcuffs throughout the game, dangling off of one wrist. He manages to pick them off by the end of the game, and he discards them by tossing them off of a cliff.
* [[Death Faked for You]]: By Rebecca, at the end of the game.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Despite how brutish he seems more often than not, {{spoiler|he's remarkably good at playing the piano.}}
** Tip of the iceberg. {{spoiler|When Rebecca finds him after he gets washed away, they come upon a pile of skeletons. Somehow Billy is aware that Marcus used them as test subjects for the Mother Virus.}} Someone knows a little more than they're letting on.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: One of the brawniest male characters, partnered up with the smallest adult female character.
Line 402:
** Then again, [[Memetic Mutation|he can fit a grenade launcher in his pants.]]
** Possibly averted, as [[Word of God]] states that they plan to have him return in the future.
* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: Billy is almost bizarrely aloof about his conviction, resigned to his fate and cynically shot down Rebecca when she tried to be optimistic about it. And yet...
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: ... the cynical, wrongfully convicted murderer has a powerful sense of justice. He's the one who convinces Rebecca to partner up with him and he's the one who refuses to go back on his word.
* [[I Won't Say I'm Guilty]]: Granted, he's not.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: To Rebecca.
Line 437:
An antagonist in ''4,'' he literally shows up in the last section of the game, though he's one of the causes of the whole mess: He's the one who originally kidnapped Ashley. Also a playable character ''Darkside Chronicles'', which serves as his [[Start of Darkness]], showing the actual mission he worked with Leon and why he hooked up with Wesker.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Somewhat of a Type II, given the [[Start of Darkness]] shown in Darkside Chronicles.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: ''Darkside Chronicles'' shows us that he was pretty badass ''before'' {{spoiler|getting infected.}}
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: {{spoiler|In addition to increased speed and endurance, the infection also mutates his left arm into a ''gigantic metal blade'' which you can use in the Mercenaries minigame.}}
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Compensating for Something]]: Implied by Ada.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Played with in ''Darkside Chronicles''. In the last few missions, Krauser essentially breaks under the strain, scrambling with fear from the giant viral monsters attacking him and Leon, even (mentally) desperately begging Leon to save his ass when he thought the odds were too great. Despite all this, and an extremely injured arm, he fights competently and professionally and never really lets any of this show.
** The game justifies this as a result of an ''extensive'' military career; his professionalism and experience tends to be highlighted throughout the campaign. Which makes [[The Reveal]] of his inner thoughts to be all the more frightening. The point at which you realize just ''how'' disassociated his thoughts are from his actions is when the warning bells start going off.
* [[Disney Death]]: Played straight and subverted. {{spoiler|You would ''think'' beating the tar out of him with Leon ''and'' having a stone tower explode and collapse on him would be enough to kill Krauser. It doesn't, but Ada later manages to put him down for good anyways.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: For Leon. Both are ''[[Knife Nut]]''s, worked for the US government, and even served on the same mission in ''Darkside Chronicles.'' Ironically, Krauser falls to the dark side because he ''liked'' his work with SOCOM so much, so when he {{spoiler|all but loses one arm and faces an end of his military career, he turns to Wesker.}}
Line 453:
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Has shades of this when he learns about Leon's being ordered to join the secret organization to stop bioweapons, despite the fact that Krauser, at least in his viewpoint, would have willingly joined up to aid the government get rid of the bioweapons, and yet was not even given that chance.
* [[Hypocrite]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: And used to make him seem a good deal like an Evil Opposite for Leon, his former teammate.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Of the Mercenaries, he's got the largest health bar, his bow is extremely powerful, his physical attacks will ''demolish'' just about anyone, ''and'' he can run at a pretty good pace.
Line 463:
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: "I died in the crash 2 years ago... Is that what they told you?" What crash? What mission? Who are you?
* [[Rival Turned Evil]]: ''Darkside Chronicles'' lays out the rather tragic story. Leon and Krauser only knew each other for the one mission, but they earned each other's respect and friendship and from Leon's point of view, parted as friends. [[Beneath the Mask|In reality]], because of a combination of insane stress of the mission, fear of rejection by the government after major injury, and subsequent fascination of power with which he could liberate himself from others' control, Krauser sought after organic weaponry to augment himself immediately after that mission, breaking all bonds with Leon and the US government (although the fact that the US government fired him because of his injury was probably a huge factor in that last part of his viewpoint).
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Similar to [[Metal Gear|Gray
* [[Stab the Scorpion]]: In ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles|Darkside Chronicles]]'', he stabs a snake that's about to strike Leon.
* [[Step Three: Profit]]: Although he kidnapped Ashley Graham, its also implied that he intended to interfere with Ashley Graham's getting a plaga strain and have it delivered to Wesker. What he planned to do with her afterwards is left ambiguous.
Line 617:
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Jessica is ostensibly as capable as any other BSAA agent in the series, and to her credit, she survives right alongside Parker in the levels set during the Terragrigia Panic. As Chris's partner, however, she does next to nothing, and is mostly remembered for the [[Ms. Fanservice|abbreviated wetsuit]] she puts on when Chris's game shifts to the Zenobia.
* [[Flirting Under Fire]]: She's capable of keeping up a breezy, vaguely flirtatious dialogue with Parker while ''their position is being swarmed by Hunters,'' and she does everything short of throwing herself at Chris while they're investigating hostile territory swarming with BOWs.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: Carries a large rifle in the current-day missions with Chris. {{spoiler|Turns out that she isn't so friendly.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}: {{spoiler|In a radical departure from the series's previous plot conventions, Jessica manages to pull off a heel turn, yet also manages to survive the events of the game.}}
Line 720:
* [[Evil Mentor]]: To Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, as he says that they were trained under him {{spoiler|in the reveal that he was the mole to Umbrella.}}
* [[Final Boss]]: Of ''[[Resident Evil 5|RE5]]''.
* [[Flash Step]]: By ''5'', his [[Super Speed]] takes this form at times, especially when [[Dodge the Bullet|dodging bullets]].
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Is repeatedly stated as having been a child prodigy by [[Apocalyptic Log|files]] you find throughout the game. He can also punch you across a room.
** And through doors made of stone.
Line 727:
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: He has freaky orange and gold eyes slit like a Snake, [[Sunglasses At Night|that is when]] [[Cool Shades|you actually see them.]] Naturally, he's evil.
* [[The Heavy]]: He's still working for Spencer in ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', but it's Wesker who actually moves the plot along. He takes over this role again in ''[[Resident Evil 5|RE5]]''.
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: If certain portions of his [[Hannibal Lecture]] towards Chris and Sheva during the final level of Resident Evil 5 is to be taken literally.
* [[Immortality]]: Implied to be a Type 2, as he looks like he is only in his twenties, even when, by the time of his {{spoiler|true death}}, he was a lot closer to his late forties. Most likely, this was the result of the result of the virus he injected himself with.
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: This was the cause of his "death" in the first game (both the original and the remake) in all scenarios except for the Barry Burton Lives ending (in which case, he is shot by Barry, and later either ends up decapitated offscreen, or escaped completely, depending on whether it is the original version or the remake, respectively.)
* [[Implacable Man]]: Throw something at him. Chances are it won't hit him in the first place or that it won't keep him down for more than a minute at most.
** Wesker had a crane full of steel girders dropped on his head in Code Veronica X. It only fazed him for a few moments.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Based very heavily on [[David Bowie]].
** As for the voice, according to Richard Waugh himself, that was a [[Sure Why Not]] - in an interview, he stated that his voice for Wesker was based on [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Shere Khan]].
*** [[D. C. Douglas]], Wesker's current voice as of Umbrella Chronicles, even stated that he based the voice on Bowie.
*** Also, his mannerisms in the fifth game at least, not to mention his overall attire and appearance, are indicative of Agent Smith.
* [[Joker Immunity]]: {{spoiler|But he dies in ''5''.}}
** {{spoiler|But we'll see how long [[Critical Backlash|killing off the main villian in an ongoing series]] [[Flip-Flop of God|lasts]] [[Cash Cow Franchise|in the long]] run}}.
* [[Large Ham]]: By ''5'' (with his most villainous [[Evil Brit|British accent]] to date). DC Douglas indulges in some [[Ham and Cheese]] for a few outtake lines.
{{quote|'''Wesker''': '''[[Memetic Mutation|"Complete.]]''' '''[[Memetic Mutation|Global.]]''' '''''[[This Is Sparta|Saturation."]]'''''}}
Line 760:
* [[The Rival]]: To Sergei Vladimir.
* [[The Sociopath]]: If the novelizations are to be believed.
* [[The Social Darwinist]]: Believes the vast bulk of humanity are worthless and that only a minority of people- with superior talent, intelligence, physical stats. etc- have ever actually mattered throughout human history. He assumes that Ourobouros will weed out the weak and the strong will survive and become superhuman, though baring in mind that the only reason {{spoiler|he could handle it}} was probably due to all the experiments performed on him and the fact that he was already superhuman, {{spoiler|and that [[Word of God]] implies that even he would have been killed by Ourobouros eventually}}, his plan might actually have just [[Omnicidal Maniac|wiped out every living thing on the planet.]]
* [[The Starscream]]: To Umbrella. Deconstructed, as it is strongly implied that not only was Spencer fully aware of Wesker's intentions of betraying Spencer and Umbrella, he actually orchestrated the events that would result in Wesker deciding to take down Umbrella.
* [[Sunglasses At Night]]: His trademark.
* [[Super Speed]]: After taking the experimental virus, he moves faster than the human mind can process. See [[Dodge the Bullet]] above. To the naked eye, it looks like he's teleporting.
* [[Super Soldier]]: The virus strain that he injected himself with to fake his death to Umbrella essentially made him this. It's also implied that the virus was actually designed by Spencer as part of his ultimate scheme, making the virus almost a super soldier serum.
* [[Super Strength]]: Capable of lifting missles with one hand, piercing through his enemies' chests with his fingers, and holding Chris with one hand by the throat, among other feats of his strength after his upgrade.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Got his start at 18.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With William Birkin, his long time friend and rival. Admittedly, their time as this is mostly in the series backstory and ''[[Resident Evil 0]]'', but they went to college and later worked as top researchers at Umbrella together for years.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Revealed to be one of several Wesker children by Spencer.
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: He is a playable character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with Chris, Jill & (in Ultimate MVC 3) Nemesis.
Line 864:
** [[Badass Normal]]: Unlike most villains, he is not modified by any viruses or bioweapons.
* [[Badass Boast]]: His is "The Death cannot die!"
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: In ''Mercenaries 3-D'', HUNK has a set of hidden blades to stab perform melee attacks with.
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Determinator]]
Line 1,012:
One of Umbrella's three founding members, he was murdered by Wesker and Birkin on Spencer's orders. He returns in ''Resident Evil Zero'', where it's revealed that he is the one responisble for the Arklay Mountain and Mansion outbreaks.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Sunlight.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Thanks to some T-Virus infected leeches.
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: In a way: he dies, but his plan to bring down Umbrella goes off without a hitch.
Line 1,075:
* [[Devour the Dragon]]: He absorbs the second Verdugo when going [[One-Winged Angel]].
* [[Giggling Villain]]
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Subverted. Just as Salazar prepares to deliver a presumably well-rehearsed lecture on the nature of terrorism, Leon delivers a brilliant, wordless [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] [[Moment of Awesome|using violence]], which leaves Salazar whimpering like a sick puppy, [[Metaphorgotten|only less adorable and more pathetic]].
* [[Name's the Same]]: As a major villain from the third season of ''[[24]]''.
* [[The Napoleon]]: Not only is he short--he wears a Napoleon-esque outfit (including the [[Cool Hat]]). The fact that he spent money on a giant robotic statue of himself also suggests a Napoleon complex.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Some sort of... plant thing?
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Oh so much.
* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: Pulls this trick on Leon. ''Twice.''
* [[Trap Door]]: Leading into a spike pit. Ramon Salazar: [[X Meets Y|Part Napoleon Boneparte, part Vlad the Impaler]].
** [[Trap Door Fail]]: He tries to kill Leon by having him fall into a pit of spikes. It fails of course.
Line 1,087:
'''Leon:''' [[Memetic Mutation|You're [sic] right hand comes off?]]<br />
'''Salazar:''' Say whatever you please. '''DIE YOU WORM!''' (''breaks the camera'') }}
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He wanted to rid the world of sin. However, his method of doing so is to sap people's will by allowing the Los Illuminados cult to plant Las Plagas into them.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: "It may come as a surprise, but I am only twenty years old!"
Line 1,135:
* [[A God Am I]]: "I was to become a god!"
* {{spoiler|[[Anticlimax Boss]]: Killed by Wesker in under one second.}}
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: He's a Lord......his last name is perhaps a [[Shout-Out]] to the venerable Spencer family, of which [[Princess Diana]] was a member.
* [[Bigger Bad]]:: He's [[The Man Behind the Man]] to all of Umbrella, including [[A God Am I|Alexia]], [[Dragon-in-Chief|Sergei]], [[Mad Scientist|Birkin]], and series' most recurring villain, [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Albert Wesker]]. Yet is rarely seen throughout the series and doesn't even interact with the protagonists
* [[The Chessmaster]]
Line 1,185:
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: With Wesker, though they weren't indeed married to each other but in her head...
* [[What Could Have Been]]: She would have simply been a secretary to Tricell, and her death was portrayed very differently (she would have died in the hands of a Tyrant-like creature, ''literally''), although its unknown whether Wesker was involved in that particular death.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Her dress and shoes are both based on pieces by real life designers.
* [[Woman in White]]: Though it's not played for mystery or necessarily to show that she is evil.
Line 1,197:
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Spencer notes that Alex's experiments to find the secret of immortality required "thousands upon thousands" of test subjects. It's unknown if he succeded or not.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Said to be the brightest of all the Wesker children, and has comparable powers to Albert having been administered the same experimental virus.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: As with Albert.
* [[Parental Favoritism]]: Spencer's favorite of all the Wesker children.
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Subverted. Because of botched translations and localizations of Lost of Nightmares, any third person gender identifiers were left out, leading several fans to assume that Alex was female. The Japanese version makes it very clear that Alex was a male.
