* 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-to-Ham Combat|the Pyromaniac Fire Man and Bomb Man.]]
* 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.
*** In fact Punchinello is a humanoid bomb, as all of Smithy's goons are anthropomorphized weapons. However since the Mario series already has semi-humanoid bombs in the form of the Bob-Ombs, Punchinello was taken even further, to the point of being almost unrecognizable as a bomb... it doesn't help that he himself doesn't explode, but rather uses Bob-Ombs as explosives.
** Mouser from [[Super Mario Bros. 2]] counts, as well.
* As quoted above, a certain [[Scary Black Man|Black]] [[Violent Glaswegian|Scottish]] [[Eyepatch of Power|Cyclops]] from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' fits this trope to a tee.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]: Link's Awakening'' has a unique [[Elite Mook]] actually named the Mad Bomber.
