Line 140:
** Everybody seems to hate him (both in real life and in-universe)... [[Creator's Pet|Except for the writing staff]], since of all of the cast members who get [[Killed Off for Real]], Maniac—the most likely candidate given his rank, status, and reckless behavior—isn't one of them.
** But then, it seems like his [[The Scrappy|Scrappiness]] is deliberate. After all, he's played by [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Biff Tannen]].
** Tom Wilson's interpretation of Maniac (in ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] III'', ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] IV'', and ''Prophecy''), actually did a lot to [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap|redeem]] him, at least within the context of the FMV footage. He [[Ensemble Darkhorse|steals all his scenes]] and is a lot of fun to watch.
** He's even something of a [[The Chew Toy|Chew Toy]] in ''The Price of Freedom,'' where Maniac's constant snipes fail to get a rise out of Blair—but Marshall falls for Blair's prods ''every time.''

* [[Nerd Glasses]]: In the [[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] [[Collectible Card Game]], [http://ccg.jetlag.us/main.php?g2_itemId=2602&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 his character card]{{Dead link}} shows him wearing a pair of these.

Line 192:
* [[Master Race]]
* [[Putting on the Reich]]: His uniform is not subtle
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Pulls this [[Knife Nut|at the point of a combat knife.]]
* [[Smug Snake]]: For all his talk about being superior and his zero tolerance to failure, he falls rather quickly in battle (probably because he doesn't have the advantage of technology anymore).
 
Line 217:
* [[Bonnie Scotland]]: Complete with [[Funetik Aksent]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: In ''Super [[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]]'', released for the Macintosh and [[Three DO3DO Interactive Multiplayer|3DO]], Paladin has an eye patch. However, given his displayed abilities in the game, one might question how much "power" there actually is in that scrap of cloth. "Ach! He caught me with me kilt down!", indeed.
* [[Old Soldier]]: Played to the hilt.
* [[Team Dad]]: pilots have jokingly called him "Mother Hen".
