-> The [[SuperMarioBros Goombas]] of ''Final Fight'' thugs, Bred and his {{head swap}}s Dug, Jake and Simmons are the low-ranking members of the Mad Gear gang. The only thing that's really notable about Bred (other than his dumb name) is that his car gets trashed in a BonusStage by the heroes. He would go on to make a [[TheCameo cameo]] in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'' where in yet another bonus stage, Cody and/or Guy wreck another one of his cars.

* BigOMG: When Bred's cars get totaled, changed to [[{{Bowdlerise}} "Oh, My Car!"]] in the overseas versions of the SNES and GBA ports and ''Super Street Fighter IV''.

* StoneWall

* MightyGlacier: Sometimes they border on LightingBruiser; especially if any of them are charging from off-screen. What doesn't help is that they have a limited ability to change direction in mid-charge, which makes them difficult to avoid safely.

** Roxy as well, given she's effectively a straight up PaletteSwap of Poison in the games. The early strategy guides for ''Final Fight'' identifies her as a transvestite like Poison, but her bio in ''Capcom Classics Collection'' retcons her into a natural female.

* ShesAManInJapan: Since the English localizations of the console versions omitted Poison's backstory (or in the case of the SNES version, replaced her and Roxy entirely), the American developers in charge of ''Final Fight Revenge'' (unaware of Poison's transgender nature) were under the impression that she is a natural woman and depicted her as such in their game. ''Street Fighter IV'' producer Yoshinori Ono addressed this inconsistency years later in a joking manner, saying that in North America, she is "officially a post-op transsexual", but in Japan, "she simply tucks her business away to look female."

* {{Expy}}: He's based on Tom Cody from ''StreetsOfFire''.

* {{Crossover}}: So far, he's the ''FinalFight'' character with the most appearances outside of his main series: ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' (all three games), ''[[CapcomSequelStagnation Super]] VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', ''VideoGame/{{Namco x Capcom}}'', and ''[[VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution Capcom Fighting Jam/Evolution]]''.

-> Originally hailing from West Germany, the Andore family are a family of hulking brutes that worked under Belger as members of the Mad Gear gang. They consisted of Andore, Andore Jr., Father Andore, Uncle Andore, and Grandfather Andore. After the fall of the original Mad Gear gang, Andore tried to pick a fight with Haggar on TV in ''FinalFight: Revenge'', to no avail. He, Grandfather Andore and Andore Jr. then worked for Retu's Mad Gear faction in ''FinalFight 2''. Andore was then later recruited by the Skull Cross gang in ''Final Fight 3'' and crime lord Vito Bracca as a pit fighter in ''Final Fight Streetwise''.

-> Far from Metro City's finest, Edi. E is a police officer on Mad Gear's take. He patrolled the city's West Side district, taking out rival gangs and stifling efforts of fellow officers. When he needs to fight, he fights with his gun and night stick in tow. With Mad Gear defeated, Edi. E was one of the lucky few to escape prosecution and even threw some of his fellow members in jail just to throw everyone off. In ''FinalFight: Revenge'' Edi. E grew to hate Cody and helped to get Cody arrested. When Cody broke out of jail in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 3'', Edi. E wasn't far behind.

-> A German-American mercenary, Rolento F. Schugerg formerly served the American special forces unit the Red Berets before joining Mad Gear as sub-leader, managing the gang's secret drug plant located at Metro City's Industrial Area in the original ''FinalFight''. The stage was left out of both SNES versions, so Rolento returned as a near-endgame boss of Retu's Mad Gear gang in ''FinalFight 2'' in Italy to compensate for it. In ''FinalFight: Revenge'' and the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series, Rolento's priorities had changed. He now wants to start his own Utopian Nation with the aid of Mad Gear's knife fighters. In all his appearances, Rolento's fighting style involves lots of rolling, grenade throwing and baton twirling.

* {{Crossover}}: Made it into the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series since ''2'', and he's part of the ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium Capcom vs. SNK 2]]'' roster, as well. In fact, alongside Maki, they're the first ''FinalFight'' characters to make appearances in [[CapcomVsWhatever Capcom's Vs series]].

-> Horace Belger is the mastermind of the Mad Gear Gang, hiding behind the guise of being a businessman. He rides around in a motorized luxurious wheelchair with his weapon of choice being a repeating bolt-action crossbow gun. At first he uses Jessica as a human shield, but Haggar, Cody and Guy get her away from him. Belger is finally defeated, but in ''FinalFight: Revenge'', Belger attempts to get his revenge on the heroes.

* CombatPragmatist: The worst offender ever in ''FinalFight''.

-> Three of the pit fighters Kyle fights in ''FinalFight: Streetwise'' are Handsome Bob, the Locksmith and the Ghost. Handsome Bob, who is not really that handsome, is Kyle's first opponent who, when knocked down, gets up with a rising hook punch. The Locksmith is a black guy who is only slightly quicker than Handsome Bob and has a [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Flash Kick]] that can combo into an unblockable forward kick. The Ghost may just well be Joe from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'', but they really don't say in the game. He is a Muay Thai fighter under Vito Bracca who is a very quick fighter.

-> Jessica is Mike Haggar's daughter and Cody's ex-girlfriend who must have a [[DistressedDamsel damsel in distress]] sign taped to her back. She is carried off by Damnd in the beginning of ''FinalFight'' and taken to Mad Gear's hideout. When the heroes finally do find her, she is held tightly by Belger in his lap, but escapes after his wheelchair is broken. Ultimately, she is saved by Cody and the rest in the game's ending. In ''FinalFight Revenge'' she disappears, which plays a central role in that game's storyline. It is never resolved in any of the characters' endings, but Haggar does rescue her from danger. Eventually Cody and Jessica break up after Cody couldn't give up his destructive behavior and she travels to Europe shortly after. She occasionally makes cameos in games involving ''Final Fight'' characters.

-> Rena is Guy's fiancée and Genryusai's eldest daughter. Like Genryusai, she is taken captive by Retu during the events of ''FinalFight 2''. Unlike Jessica and her sister, Maki, she and her father haven't appeared since.

-> Genryusai is Guy's master and the father of Maki and Rena. He is taken captive by Retu and the revived Mad Gear during the events of ''FinalFight 2''. Like Rena, he is never seen again after they were rescued. Note that in the later ''Street Fighter Alpha'' series, it is established that instead of Genryusai, a man named Zeku is the 38th Bushin-style master and Guy's master. [[ContinuitySnarl As such, it is assumed that Genryusai was Zeku's teacher instead.]]

-> Vanessa Sims is the girlfriend of Kyle Travers and owner and bartender of the "Barfly" lounge in ''FinalFight: Streetwise''. When Kyle’s brother, Cody, is taken captive by the Stiff in her bar, Vanessa does her best to provide information and ideas to Kyle to find Cody. She also has her brother on the MCPD aiding Kyle in his search. During the GLOW-induced riots on Metro City, Kyle and former Mad Gear member 2-ill saved her life.

-> Sergeant Sims is a deep cover cop for the MCPD (Metro City Police Department) in ''FinalFight: Streetwise''. By the request of his sister, Vanessa, Sims assisted her boyfriend, Kyle into looking for his missing brother, Cody. He wanted Kyle not to get involved due to the danger Cody was in and sought to arrest Cody for using GLOW. When Sims traced the source of the GLOW to a church in Little Italy during the city riots, Sims along with Kyle and whatever officers he had left attempted to storm the church.

-> Vito Bracca is the boss of a gang in Little Italy during ''FinalFight: Streetwise''. Despite being a crime boss, Vito [[EvenEvilHasStandards is a pious man who hates GLOW's effect on the city]]. Kyle interrogates Vito about Cody's whereabouts after his kidnapping. Vito, feeling disrespected, has Blades take Kyle out of his sight. After Haggar tells Kyle to respect Vito, he competes in pit-fights for Vito for free, in exchange for info on Cody. Kyle wins the fights against the Ghost and Andore and gets the info he seeks. Vito lets Kyle keep his winnings as well. After an attack on Japantown, Vito sees Father Bella asking for guidance about the GLOW dilemma. Unaware of Bella's true intentions, Vito begins to pray at his suggestion.

!! Lucia Morgan

* VillainousCrush: On Cody, according to ''Revenge''. Fortunately, it avoids the obvious UnfortunateImplications by depicting Cody's disapproval as being strictly due to her membership in a criminal organization, and what's more she decides she's uninterested by the game's end of her own accord.

* AllThereInTheManual: Poison's gender. Character bios in Japanese manuals, guide books, and even design documents, clearly labels Poison as male (or "newhalf," a Wasei-eigo term for transwomen).
* AmbiguousGender: With some sources, Poison is outright stated to be a transsexual. Others are left ambiguous.

* ShesAManInJapan: Since the English localizations of the console versions omitted Poison's backstory (or in the case of the SNES version, replaced her and Roxy entirely), the American developers in charge of ''Final Fight Revenge'' (unaware of Poison's transgender nature) were under the impression that she is a natural woman and depicted her as such in their game. ''Street Fighter IV'' producer Yoshinori Ono addressed this inconsistency years later in a jokingly matter, saying that in North America, she is "officially a post-op transsexual", but in Japan, "she simply tucks her business away to look female."

* ShockAndAwe: His super moves, which led to rumors that he isn't entirely human.

* LethalChef: [[AllThereInTheManual In the manual]].
