Real name Eugene Ahn, Adam WarRock (Previously known as "Fist") is an attorney-turned-nerdcore rapper. He gained a fairly large following through his constant song production, sense of humor, and wide range of topics covered by his songs, from [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The West Coast Avengers]], to [[Dresden Codak]], to [[Nikola Tesla]] and [[Mark Twain]].
Line 31:
* [[Concept Album]]- ''The War For Infinity'' is a retelling of Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet saga as a series of rap battles.
* [[Curse Cut Short]]- [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in "Bad Mother (Villainy)"
{{quote| "And if you're messing with this terrorist thug//I'll show you that I'm [[Shaft|a bad mother...]]//Shut the fuck up!"}}
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]- ''Heroes Requiem''. Not only does Demonos handily defeat characters from various Marvel comics, the ''way'' he does some in is a bit extreme- {{spoiler|Professor X's cybernetic legs are crushed, the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] are de-volved into regular turtles, Storm is sent to space, Iceman is incinerated, Cyclops's eyes are sewn shut, Wolverine is decapitated, [[Spider-Man]]'s back is broken, and Dr. Strange is skinned alive.}}
* [[Deal with the Devil]]-"Crooked Deal" on ''The War For Infinity'' has Demonos making a literal deal with the devil for the Gauntlet of Infinity.
Line 39:
* [[Freudian Excuse]]- "Bad Mother (Villainy)" runs through a list of possible excuses to blame for Demonos' rampage. It ends with "Blame on whatever you want if it helps; but the reason he's standin' here, [[You Bastard|you can blame it on yourself.]]
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]- "Old Man River," from ''The Long Road Home''. A great deal of the song's about outgrowing your dreams and just settling for "good enough". Knox's verse opens with perhaps the best example-
{{quote| "Beach-front architect, my castle it was gonna be something/Now I'm just trying to grab some sand before the tide comes in/Watch my ocean-sized dreams get whittled down to mere streams/Navigate the twisting turns ahead as pride runs thin"}}
** The original was in fact, ''so'' mind-blowingly depressing, that he came out with a remix about how awesome life is in general. To demonstrate the 180 in tone, here's Knox's opening on ''it''
{{quote| "Beach-front architect, my castle was a towering estate/Now I'm just working on improvements for my follow up take/Forget those ocean-sized dreams and admire the scene/Ain't nothin' better than a waterfront with hours to waste..."}}
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]- Both {{spoiler|Mysterio and Kraven}} in the Sinister Six Megatrack. Judging by his laughter and coughing, {{spoiler|Mysterio}} is affected by his own gas, while {{spoiler|Kraven is devoured by his wildcats}}
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]- Kraven The Hunter in the Sinister Six megatrack. His opening line even makes reference to [[The Most Dangerous Game|The Trope Naming Book]]...
{{quote| "Life is a game, and I hunt the deadliest kind/With a face, a family, and a name..."}}
* [[Identity Absorption]]- "Madrox" on ''My X-Factor EP'' follows one of Multiple Man's duplicates (#40) trying to absorb all the others [[Kill and Replace|as well as the original]]. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, he the fails- the last line of the song is "Now I've just absorbed 40, you can call me 'Number One.'"}}
* [[I Love the Dead]]- In "Zombie Girl", although the singer tries to justify it with "She ain't fully dead, she's undead instead."
Line 50:
* [[Masocore]]- Released a song about the genre, appropriately titled "Masocore".
* [[Meaningful Rename]]- Maybe. See this line from "Six Million Dollar Flow"
{{quote| "Yo really, how bout this-I went from "Eugene" to "Fist", and now it's like "Adam WarRock" fits..."}}
* [[Monster Mash]]- In "Zombie Girl", it's implied that the titular zombie girl hangs out with Dracula, The Wolfman and Frankenstein's Monster.
* [[Nerd Core]]
* [[Offer Void in Nebraska]]- [[Read the Fine Print]] below carefully-- apparently you can't make a [[Deal with the Devil]] in Alaska.
* [[Read the Fine Print]]- Used in ''The War For Infinity'''s "Crooked Deal". It takes a good 45 seconds.
{{quote| "Failure to abide by the terms of this agreement will result in an all-expenses paid, one way ticket to eternal damnation and exile. No purchase necessary, no half-stepping, and no one under 18 may apply without the express written consent of a parent or guardian. All signatures must be sealed, signed for, and written in the blood, sweat, and tears of the last gasp of air you have left in your pathetic existence as you waste away at your desk crunching numbers, figures, reading the quarterly report, and slowly dying one second at a time. Offer good only in the contiguous 48 states of the United States of America and Hawaii. All restrictions apply. Death Inc. reserves the right to revoke this contract at any time it so feels like it. All souls have no monetary value or cash equivalent. Contract may not be revoked for any reason. Death Inc., for 2010 and beyond."}}
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]- In ''Heroes Requiem'', Professor X, Magneto, Thing, The Incredible Hulk, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Storm, Iceman, Colossus, Wolverine, Cyclops, Spider-Man, Doc Ock, and Dr. Strange are all defeated by Demonos.
* [[The Reveal]]- In ''Zombie Girl''--As it turns out, {{spoiler|the singer is a ghost}}
