Line 2:
''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' has [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], any one of which can pop up at any moment. So here's a summary of the recurring characters.
 
 
-----------
== ''Team Venture'' ==
=== Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture ===
Line 411 ⟶ 409:
* [[Only Sane Man]] - Among most of the other supervillains in the show, she's arguably much more saner and competent, and capable of being amicable with Team Venture when she wants to be.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her Queen Etherea and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch costumes.
* Transsexual[[Transgender]]: All evidence says that she is a cisgendered female, but the man voice still raises suspicion.
** The voice is explained as the results of a heavy cigarette regimen.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|Unusually Uninteresting Sound]]: Her voice was completely ignored for a little less than half a season before being lampshaded, and it is usually ignored.
Line 481 ⟶ 479:
* {{spoiler|[[Running Both Sides]]: His fate in the season four finale.}}
* [[Training from Hell]]: Largely responsible for turning Brock Samson into a one-man army.
* [[TranssexualismTransgender]]: He eventually had it reversed, but eventually admits to miss being a woman.
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: A rather gigantic one that is either a patently insane Roulette or the world's best-played game of [[Xanatos Speed Chess]].
 
Line 810 ⟶ 808:
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Jonas and his brother share the same voice actor.
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: In his first appearance, he had a deep, raspy voice. Afterward, he gained a smooth and smug voice to go along with his role as [[Always Someone Better]].

=== Sally Impossible ===
Line 820 ⟶ 819:
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of The Invisible Woman from ''[[Fantastic Four]]''.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Minor one, before she was always cowering in front of her husband and gets sparks of courage if she knew she could escape or at least discredit him. She ratches up a bit when Richard shows his neglect for Rocket and by third appearance she pretty much done with his crap and is disgusted by his attempts to win her back (though she does show some appreciation for his attempted and supposed [[Heroic Sacrifice]]). She now a part of J.J fighting force, helping to defend Spider Island from the Monarch in a giant mecha.

=== The Pirate Captain ===
Line 1,008:
=== The Action Man ===
[[File:the_action_man_4139.jpg|thumb|300px]]
The gun-wielding psycho of the 60's60s Team Venture, Rodney the Action Man has cooled down significantly with age.
----
Tropes associated with The Action Man:
Line 1,017:
* [[Jerkass]]: Was not nice at all to Major Tom's ghost about marrying his wife, shot Orpheus without a second thought and pulled Rusty's pants down in front of a large crowd at his 16th birthday so Col.Gentleman could shoot his dick with a shrink ray.
* [[More Dakka]]: He once shot a henchman in the head repeatedly, while shouting "Action!"

=== Kano ===
Line 1,030 ⟶ 1,031:
* [[The Stoic]]: Has all of the mannerisms to go with the silence.
* [[The Voiceless]]: {{spoiler|Turns out that he isn't mute. He took a vow of silence for killing a "great man"...who may have been Dr. Venture, Sr. himself.}}
{{break}}
 
=== Dr. Paul Entmann ===
Line 1,072 ⟶ 1,074:
Tropes associated with Hector:
* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: Rusty literally has no idea who he is anymore.
{{break}}
 
 
== ''Others'' ==
Line 1,123 ⟶ 1,125:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Possibly subverted. His mention of working for [[Richard Nixon]] implies that he may actually ''be'' Henry Kissinger, not merely based on him.
* [[Parasol Parachute]]: Like the above-mentioned English nanny, he can use his umbrella to fly. Also, as a conduit for his more supernatural abilities a la [[Harry Potter|Hagrid]].
{{break}}
 
=== Mrs. Fictel ===
Line 1,161 ⟶ 1,164:
* {{spoiler|[[Too Kinky to Torture]]}}: {{spoiler|When the Monarch kidnaps her as a bargaining chip with Hatred, he and Doctor Mrs. The Monarch don't even have to tie her up; she was already in bondage. She even ASKED to be put in the trunk.}}
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: {{spoiler|Spends the entirety of "Operation P.R.O.M." in bondage with a ball gag in her mouth, and still manages to win Prom Queen.}}
{{break}}
 
=== The Outrider ===
Line 1,212 ⟶ 1,216:
* [[People Jars]]: Spends most of his time in one. He is in extreme pain outside of it.
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: A perfect example of what happens when you gain the power to be on fire without having the ability to turn the fire off or be invulnerable to it.
{{break}}
 
=== Captain Sunshine ===
Line 1,231 ⟶ 1,236:
* [[Shout-Out]]: He's basically Batman (with a British butler, a stately manor, a Batcave-esque lair, [[Kevin Conroy]], and a seeming attraction to his sidekick) with superpowers vaguely similar to those of Superman.
