The mysterious host of the Twisted Metal contest. Few details are known of his [[Backstory]], except his whole family died in a car accident years ago and his wish-granting powers were stolen from Minion, allowing him to survive. He's been holding Twisted Metal for 10 years, with the second game being the 11th entry. He's in all games, but only once as a car driver.

He's been holding Twisted Metal for 10 years, with the second game being the 11th entry. He's in all games, but only once as a car driver.
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: Despite being a complete [[Jerkass]] with granting wishes, Calypso can be pretty funny in really making them as ironic as possible.

* [[Big No]]: Minion's ''Twisted Metal 2'' ending.
* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: ''Twisted Metal 2''.
* [[Cool Airship]]: His blimp, which he uses as a hideout in both ''2'' and ''3''.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Depending on the game, he is presented as such. The reboot makes it more explicit by portraying him as the CEO of Calypso Industries.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: As detailed in the comic tie-in for ''2'' (see [[Mysterious Past]] entry), his sister's death is what sets off the events that'd turn him into Calypso. She's also referenced by Minion in his ending.
** [[Death Seeker]]: Following from the above, having accidentally killed his sister made him this for most of his life.
* [[Deal
* [[Depending
* [[Depending
* [[Evil Twin]]: Main-Calypso seems to treat ''Black''-Calypso like this, going by Black's ''TM:Lost'' profile. [[Evil Versus Evil|And since he's no saint either...]]
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Calypso ''will'' screw up your well-intended wish, unless you happen to be his daughter...
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: ''Head-On''.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Thus far, this seems to be Calypso's motivation to create a [[Deadly Game|bloody tournament]] which leaves destruction on its wake.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: In the first games, his ''whole face'' is burnt from the car accident.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Canon-wise he keeps the tournament going without any punishment, and in most endings he suffers no punishment, with a few exceptions.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: Calypso got his wish-granting magic by stealing a demon (Minion)'s powers on the way to Hell, after the car crash that killed his family.
* [[Literal Genie]]/[[Jackass Genie]]: Mostly the former.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Mysterious Past]]
** A comic tie-in for ''2'' revealed a large amount of info on his past. He was an unbalanced demolition derby driver with suicidal tendencies in life, and after the car accident, managed to [[Badass Driver|outdrive]] [[Lightning Bruiser|Minion]] in Hell. The Devil allowed him to return to Earth, in exchange for Calypso running an annual contest, sending both drivers and bystanders alike to Hell.

=== Needles Kane ===
Driver of '''Sweet Tooth''', an ice cream truck. A [[Ax Crazy|deranged]] [[Serial Killer]] dressed as a [[Monster Clown|clown]]. A former mental patient that escaped and turned into a mad serial killer. He appears in all games. The reboot dwells more into his origins and his quest to [[I Will Find You|find "the one who got away".]]
* [[Art Shift]]: Dramatically shifted across the series. In the original, he had green hair. The sequel gave him a burning scalp, while ''3'' and ''4'' had much more ornate costumes. In ''Black'', rather than have facepaint, Needles wore a mask. He also wore polka-dotted pants with suspenders and no shirt. ''Head-On'' adopted the design from ''Black'' for the main games (though his ending shows the mask as being [[Expressive Mask|expressive]]), and the 2012 game also reused it.

Line 65:
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: His best friend in ''Twisted Metal'', {{spoiler|a brown paper bag named Crazy Harold the Wacky Lunch Sack}}.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Taken to absurd levels in ''4'' where he's an SNK boss. Damn that cheap special weapon!
* [[Guest Fighter]]: He has been made a playable character on ''[[
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: Sweet Tooth is the car's name, but it's commonly used to refer to the driver as well. Worth noting there are a few instances in-game where he's referred to as Sweet Tooth, implying that he assumed it as his murderer name or Clown Name..
* [[
{{quote|

* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]: Needles has been stabilished as a ruthless [[Serial Killer]] as the series progressed, but the scenarists never really went into detail about the murders, or what kind of people Needles likes to kill, with this the killer clown comes out favorably in the fandom. The [[
** Averted, since his goal in the [[
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: In the reboot, {{spoiler|he keeps pestering Marcus into personifying him as the clown mask. After he was done making the mask, Needles pretty much [[Split Personality Takeover|took over]] and declared that he killed him.}}
** This exchange in particular
{{quote|
Needles: "Marcus does not live here anymore." }}
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: His car special in ''Black'' makes it turn into a giant clown-esque robot. The alternate special for the Sweet Tooth vehicle in the 2012 reboot keeps this.
Line 91:
Driver of '''Roadkill''', a beat-up car made of spare parts. A homeless man who claims the world to be false, and enters the contest seeking to be released out of it. In ''Twisted Metal 2'' and ''3'' he was played as a crazy man, but ''Head-On'' {{spoiler|reveals he's the [[Split Personality]] of Needles Kane}}. In ''Black'', {{spoiler|he is revealed to be Minion's driver, trapped inside Needles' head.}}

* [[Clingy Costume]]: Her mask is kept in place with nails and a specially crafted lock.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Gets one ( {{spoiler|actually two}}) in the reboot during Grimm's boss fight against her. After damaging the Iron Maiden enough, she loses control of the mech and ends up sending it crashing into the bridge. She manages to grab hold on to the bridge and the final battle begins there.

** It then turns out to be a [[Rasputinian Death]]. In an obvious [[Shout

In ''Head-On'', he realizes he can't live outside his machine, and returns to it with the help of a doctor, who ask in return for his right to a wish should he win the contest. In ''Black'', he's out to get [[Revenge]] over the one who killed his wife.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Axel's father is the one who bounded him into his vehicle, because he was too stupid and needed to be taught a lesson.

* [[Musical Assassin]]: His car's Special in ''Twisted Metal 3'': a soundwave blast.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: While Calypso usually screws everyone else over with his [[Literal Genie]] powers, Thumper was one of the few exceptions to be granted a genuinely ''satisfying'' ending (at least at face value with the text of the ending). Thumper explains how he's lived all his life in South Central under the shadow of violence in his neighborhood brought about by gang wars and such. All he wanted was for his neighborhood to be free of violence and hate. Calypso says he granted his wish, but Bruce is suspicious. Calypso tells him to go see for himself. He finds that, as the ending text puts it, ''"Calypso was not lying."'' It seems that Calypso changed the past so that the violence and hatred never happened in the first place.

* [[Back
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: To Calypso in her ''Head-On'' ending:

* [[Cute Ghost Girl]]: Head-on.

* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: His rather mediocre Special.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Playing
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: More like the only option for him.
* [[Retcon]]: ''Twisted Metal'' has Mr. Ash claiming as his prize {{spoiler|Black, a powerful demon Calypso stole for himself and whose powers he uses to grant the wishes}}, while Minion is just said to be the previous tournament's winner. Come ''Twisted Metal 2'', Minion claims Calypso has stolen ''his'' powers 11 years ago.

In the first they ask for girls (after thinking for a moment since they hadn't actually thought about a wish), prompting Calypso's harem to get into Hammerhead; the latter has them ask for...a new set of tires, because they are expensive.
Line 387:
Driver of '''Pit Viper''', a dune buggy. A mysterious woman with a double life who wants [[Greed|a millon dollars]].
* [[Action Girl]]: When she reveals her true objective.

* [[The Captain]]

* [[Back
* [[Downer Ending]]/[[Kick the Dog]]: His "Lost Video" ending, where Calypso brings him back to life, and then shoots him.
{{quote|
* [[Homing Projectile]]: What'd become the trademark special of the car, the "Ghost Missile" will track the target whoever it is, even ''going through walls to get to it''. To balance this, the missiles themselves are very weak.
* [[Man in White]]: Appears so in his "Lost Video" ending.
Line 422:
=== Commander Mason ===
Original driver of '''Warthog'''. Seeks the same item as Agent Stone under government orders.
* [[Armies Are Evil]]: He and the military are certainly portrayed as "evil" in their search of the item. Even in his "Lost Video" ending he sends a platoon as a back up measure should Calypso fail to fulfill his wish.

=== Club Kid ===
Driver of '''Club Kid''', a micro car. Some dude who wants to party all night.
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: While most cars in ''Twisted Metal 3'' are certainly cheaters in the [[Harder Than Hard|Insane Difficulty]] setting, not all have a Special Attack as irritating as him. His Special consists of a whirling void that attracts all nearby cars to its center, spinning them around for damage before exploding. Considering that he spams 4-5 as he drives by, and how all other CPU cars keep on firing at random even while trapped, you can stay trapped on this all the way from full health to death.
* [["Have a Nice Day" Smile]]: He and his car have this painted all over.
* [[No Name Given]]
Line 662:
Driver of '''Firestarter''', a hot rod. A pyromaniac.

* [[Homing Projectile]]
=== Granny Dread ===
Ex-New driver of '''Hammerhead'''. Wants to stop the contest from disturbing her neighborhood's peace.
* [[Batter Up]]: She has one in her bio pic.
* [[Never Mess
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: Her Special was turned into this: using it propels Hammerhead forward with great force.
=== Primeval ===
[[Final Boss]] of the game, driving a hunting jeep. Only addressed as an acquaintance of Calypso.
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: Sort of. His special is a mesh of Roadkill, Mr. Grimm, Warthog and Flower Power's Specials. The manual, however, claims he has [[Informed Ability|the power of all other contestants.]]
* [[SNK Boss]]: His Special is deadly powerful, painfully homes in and has such pushback force that it makes your car slide all over the place. He's also prone to spam it like there's no tomorrow, and combined with his aggressive AI, there's little chance of survival on a face-to-face confrontation. Fortunately there's also that [[Bottomless Pits|lovely lower floor opening into open sky]]

* [[Bond One
{{quote|
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: Described to be one by Sweet Tooth's assistant.

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Pulls of a double guns akimbo when he confronts Sweet Tooth and his gang.
* [[Shout
* [[Supercop]]
* [[The Unintelligible]]: He speaks in some sci-fi alien effect, which requires subtitles in his ending to be understood.
=== The Jones ===
A family of Twisted Metal fanatics who want to take Sweet Tooth on a holiday with them. Drives a station wagon.
* [[Big Screwed

A leprechaun who has grown tired of everyone bullying him due to his small size and wants to get back on them by being bigger. Drives a life-size toy car.
* [[Joke Character]]: He is among the weakest (or possibly THE weakest) in the game, having little armor and a special weapon which is just Speed missiles with laughing sound effects. He does make up for this with his [[Fragile Speedster|agility]].
Line 740:
=== Thrash Man ===
A [[Captain Obvious|garbage man]] who wants to turn the whole world into a habitat his pets could live in. Drives a garbage truck.
* [[The Brute]]
Line 754:
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Her special weapon, the Electro Ray (adapted from Outlaw's Tazer), which has an additional ability to suck the health of opponents into her own.
* [[Good Cop]]: Does a parking attendant count as a cop? She did manage to make the [[Monster Clown]] Sweet Tooth, the crazy guy staging the tournament, do a little bit of community service by taking up driving lessons. And she didn't even get screwed over whatsoever unlike other cops (except Quatro).
* [[Take a Third Option]]: Her ending has her giving parking summons to Sweet Tooth worth millions. She does however promises him that she'll clear the summons if he did a little community service. Rather then paying the fines or shutting her up some way, Sweet Tooth decided to do some community service in the form of driving lessons.
=== Goggle Eyes ===
Line 762:
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: His states are all 3/5, although his special weapon is 4/5.
* [[Orifice Evacuation]]: {{spoiler|Happens in his ending, when all bugs in the world come out of his body as he wished to "contain them all" to catch.}}
* [[Video Game Flamethrowers Suck]]: Mighty averted, although its not really a flamethrower. The Greentox has fairly long range, does a quite a lot of damage and it sets opponents on fire.
=== General Warthog ===
An old-fashioned army general who dislikes the army's usage of computers and electronics for modern warfare. He wants to command a powerful old-schooled army unmatched by any modernized military. Drives a [[WW 1]] tank.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Kill Sat]]: His special weapon, the Ion Blast has him planting a marker in which could be detonated like a remote bomb.

Crusher is a tank-threaded scrap crusher, Moon Buggy is a 6-wheeled moon trekker and RC Car is a life-size...[[Department of Redundancy Department|RC Car]].
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: RC Car.
