Line 91:
** ''[[Brainiac Science Abuse]]'', being one of those shows meant to capitalize on the popularity of Mythbusters, also likes to blow shit up, but isn't quite as good at it.
* ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'' gives us Gem and Gemma, the [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth and Seventh Ranger]] [[Creepy Twins]] who are ''extremely'' happy to blow things up... with somewhat less than ideal regard for the collateral damage.
* Captain Gunpowder from ''[[
* ''[[Alcatraz (TV series)|Alcatraz]]'' has Paxton Petty who was a combat engineer in the Korean War and felt that the government betrayed him after some Korean civilians are killed by his landmines and he is blamed. To get revenge he starts planting landmines in public places around San Francisco. He even tries to [[Complete Monster|put landmines in the playground of an elementary school]]. The thought of a bomb disposal expert being killed disarming one of his bombs feels him with joy. He even uses a landmine as a grenade when escaping the cops.
Line 108:
* Fatman of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty]]'' is a guy obsessed enough with bombs to codename himself after the Nagasaki bomb, and manages the impressive feat of going rogue from a military unit that had already gone rogue to make his mark on history by blowing things up. Vamp even lampshades it by calling Fatman a 'stereotypical mad bomber'.
* Grenade Man from ''[[Mega Man 8]]'' loved explosions so much he secretly wanted to get blown up himself because he's masochistic. He cries, "That felt good!" when he explodes and dies.
** Similarly, Bombman from the original ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' and ''[[Mega Man Powered Up]]'', to the point that he accompanies every entrance by screaming "BOMBS!!". The best Dialogue in the game is between [[Ham
* Bob-Ombs of ''[[Super Mario Bros 2]]'' and onward, of course. There's also that damn chicken in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' that drops egg bombs on you...
** Another Mario example: Punchinello from [[Super Mario RPG]]. A crazed purple lunatic who takes residence in the Moleville mines, Punchinello is capable of [[Flunky Boss|summoning waves after waves of Bob-Ombs]] during the battle against Mario and Co. He also brings the quite literal example of [[Hoist by His Own Petard]] as Punchinello's attempt of summoning the King Bomb ends up with the oversized explosive falling on top of him.
