* {{Cloudcukoolander}}: Given that he's a drug addict, he's prone to saying and doing bizarre things.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: He had a lonely childhood where his father abandoned him and his mother without a care starting his bitterness, and grew up taunted for being black, leading him to lash out with violence. A such he grew up heavily disliked as the unappreciated rival to

* ComicallyInvincibleHero: Black Dynamite takes his fighting prowess to parodic levels, effortlessly defeating pretty much everyone who tries to attack him.
