Line 86:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: The doctor in "Go To The Mirror!". He's the one person who finally deduces that Tommy's condition is psychosomatic, and he (briefly) considers the sort of isolation shock that recovering his senses will cause.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Captain Walker in the 1993 musical. And he's not very happy when he discovers his wife and son with her new [[Jerkass]] lover on her 21st birthday!
** Tommy's Stepfather in the film. Despite him being responsible for the Boy's father's demise and causing his trauma to begin with, he tries his hardest to try to help Tommy. He tries to get him to participate in normal kid activities and when he seems to catch on at what Ernie did to Tommy, he sets Ernie's newspaper on fire. While he and Tommy's mother exploited Tommy's talent for Pinball for fame and fortune, they use said fortune to find a doctor to cure him. When Tommy is finally cured and decides to share his cure with the world, they exploit his image for merchandise, but when a riot breaks out and the rioters try to attack Tommy, the stepfather of all people is shown fighting them off one by one until they overwhelm and kill him.
* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: Tommy's parents, who only offer token concern at leaving him alone with his [[Complete Monster|cousin Kevin or uncle Ernie]].
* [[Pinball]]: [[Captain Obvious|"Pinball Wizard", of course.]]
