** BadassAdorable: At the end of the day, Dave is still a lovable geek.
* BloodSplatteredInnocents: Reconstructed near the end of the first film. Seeing his wounds after [[spoiler: his and Big Daddy's torture]] somehow makes him have a HeroicResolve instead of being traumatized or running away.

* SupportingProtagonist: In the first film. Despite being the main character, the plot with D'Amico is more in-line with Big Daddy and Hit Girl's story arc. He also serves more like Hit Girl/Mindy's OlderSidekick in the final battle.
%% * {{Deuteragonist}}
* PurpleIsPowerful: As Hit Girl, she wears a purple wig as well as a heavily purple-accented costume.
* ActionDad: Someone who trained his daughter to be an ActionGirl too.

!!David "Dave" Lizewski (Kick-Ass)
->'''Played By''': Creator/AaronJohnson
->''"Come on, be honest with yourself, at some point in our lives [[IJustWantToBeSpecial we all wanna be a superhero]]."''
The first publicly known costumed hero, who decided to don a mask out of sheer altruism. After a near-death experience during his first attempt, the resultant surgery gave him metal plates that reinforce his bones, damaged nerve endings, and a high pain threshold. While he's a beacon to other costumed heroes in the city, he's still mostly just a comic book dork.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: A geeky good guy.
* AdrenalineMakeover: At the end of both films.
* AllLovingHero: Dave finds it screwed-up that nobody cares enough to protect his fellow man, and became Kick-Ass to do something about it.
* AntiHero: In spite of being a good guy, he isn't perfect.
* TheAntiNihilist: Sees the world as a terrible place, but manages to still be a nice guy and a superhero just out of his love for his fellow man.
* AscendedFanboy: A comic book reader who becomes a costumed hero.
* {{Badass}}: Finally becomes one in Kick Ass 2 due to training from Mindy.
** AdaptationalBadass: Is much more badass in the films than he is in the comics.
** HandicappedBadass: Downplayed, but this is his "superpower." After getting hit with a car, he had metal plates put in several parts of his body to reinforce the damaged bones. Combined with some permanent nerve damage, he has increased endurance and tolerance for pain.
** MemeticBadass: An in-universe example. Even though the video clip clearly shows him being terrible at being a superhero, because he refuses to give up the fight, he becomes so popular on YouTube that he inspires a comic based on himself as a legitimate superhero along the lines of GreenArrow or Franchise/{{Batman}}.
* [[spoiler: BattleCouple: Seems to have formed one with Mindy by the end of Kick Ass 2]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Happens twice in the first film. First, he [[spoiler: saves Hit-Girl from being blown up by a bazooka by killing a bunch of Frank D'Amico's goons with mini-guns attached to the jetpack he was using.]]He then later manages to save [[spoiler: Hit-Girl]] from being [[spoiler: killed by Frank D'Amico]] by shooting [[spoiler: Frank]] with a bazooka.
* TheCape: Although he does not actually wear a cape, he is a very public hero who has inspired thousands to stand up for what's right.
* CombatPragmatist: He can fight ''very'' dirty at times. The most memorable examples are [[spoiler: killing Frank D'Amico with a bazooka or fighting The Motherfucker in a Kevlar vest.]]
* CoolHelmet: Gets one by the end of Kick Ass 2 that looks like a Corinthian helmet painted metallic green and yellow.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:He comes dangerously close to crossing it after his father is murdered. Hit-Girl snaps him out of it and encourages him to go for revenge]].
* {{Determinator}}: This quality makes him famous; the video that introduced the world to Kick-Ass shows him getting continuously beaten down by a group of guys, but he always gets back up.
* DisabilitySuperpower: His damaged nerve endings, along with the metal plates that reinforce his bones, give him an increased tolerance to pain.
* DorkKnight: Is a comic book geek who became a costumed superhero out of altruism, and is a genuinely nice guy.
* DualWielding: When in his Kick-Ass costume, uses two batons wrapped with green electrical tape.
* {{Expy}}: Of {{Spider-Man}}, and in regards to his fighting style, {{Daredevil}} and {{Nightwing}}.
* FakeAmerican: His actor's British.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: Whenever he dons his costume.
* HeroicBuild: In Kick-Ass 2, due to Hit Girl training him.
* InSeriesNickname: Big Daddy occasionally calls him "Ass Kick" after watching the video on the Internet of Kick Ass getting beaten up by four thugs.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: To Mindy. He's nerdy and sweet, while she's brutal and foul-mouthed.
* MessyHair: Has quite the "Jewfro".
* MistakenForGay: Although, it works out ''much'' better for Dave in the film than in the comic.
* MrFanservice: In Kick Ass 2, you get to see him shirtless with a heavily muscled physique a few times.
* NerdActionHero: A geek who becomes a hero.
* NiceGuy: He's very kind-hearted, and became a hero to protect others.
* TheParagon: He inspired legions of like-minded heroes. Most of them just do simple community service like picking up trash, but it's still improving the city.
* ParentalAbandonment: His mother died of an aneurysm some time before the start of the story. [[spoiler:And in Kick-Ass 2, Chris D'Amico has his father murdered, [[KickTheDog and texts Dave a photo of his bloody corpse]].]]
* SuperZeroes: Though he eventually mans up and saves the day.
* TakingUpTheMantle: [[spoiler: Wears Big Daddy's armor at the climax of Kick Ass 2, and by the end of Kick Ass 2, also inherits Hit-Girl's base]].
* ThisLoserIsYou: A geeky high-school student with a crush on a popular girl who wants to be special; the movie knows its audience.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** He is much better in the finale of the first movie, where he uses ''a jetpack'' to block almost all [[spoiler:Chris's]] attacks, while previously he just swings his batons around, hoping that thugs will run into them. He also manages to kill [[spoiler: Frank D'Amico]] with a bazooka.
** Takes a bigger one in Kick Ass 2, thanks to Hit Girl training him. [[spoiler:The ending also foreshadows that he also updated his Kick-Ass attire akin to ''Iron Man''.]]
* VigilanteMan: Becomes a costumed vigilante just because of his love of his fellow man and because he thought it'd be cool.
* WideEyedIdealist: And rather incredibly, refuses to become a KnightInSourArmor in spite of all the harsh realities of life he is exposed to.
* [[spoiler:YouKilledMyFather: In the sequel, towards the end]].
!!Mindy [=McCready=] (Hit-Girl)
->'''Played By:''' ChloeGraceMoretz
->''"So, you wanna play?"''
Daughter of Damon [=McCready=], raised by her father to fight criminals in general and Frank D'Amico specifically. Both the youngest and most brutal costumed hero.
----
* ActionGirl: Particularly impressive owing to her age.
* AlliterativeName: Mindy [=McCready=].
* AntiHero: Is nice to most people in general, but to criminals, she has little to no problem killing or torturing them in brutal ways.
* {{Badass}}: Without question, one of the most badass characters in the series, only surpassed by [[HuskyRusskie Mother Russia]], [[TheDon Frank D'Amico]], and possibly Damon [=McCready=]. Even then, she [[spoiler: managed to kill Mother Russia with glass shards]] thanks to an [[spoiler: adrenaline shot]].
** BadassAdorable: Both adorable ''and'' terrifying.
* [[spoiler: BattleCouple: Seems to have formed one with Dave by the end of Kick Ass 2]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Happened four times. Once [[spoiler:when Kick-Ass is about to be sliced open by Rasul, and again when he and Big Daddy are just about to be set ablaze by Frank D'Amico's men]]. The other two times happen in Kick Ass 2, first when Dave is about to be killed by four thugs in an alleyway, and again when [[spoiler: Dave is kidnapped during his father's funeral and about to be killed by Genghis Carnage.]]
* BikerBabe: Owns, and rides, a purple Ducati motorcycle in Kick Ass 2.
* BladeOnAStick: Uses what appears to be a double-ended glaive as her most common weapon.
* ButterflyKnife: Got two for her 12th birthday, and she carries three with her when she's in her Hit-Girl costume.
* [[ByronicHero Byronic Heroine]]: Has a strong passion to punish, as well as kill, criminals wherever she goes, and has been raised to do so since she was a young child. However, due to this, she lost out on her childhood and has many psychological issues.
* ChildSoldier: Courtesy of her father training her.
* CombatPragmatist: Has no problem with low blows and [[spoiler: using glass shards to kill people]].
* CuteAndPsycho: She enjoys slaughtering thugs with a ''little'' too much childish joy, due to Big Daddy making their brutal vigilantism "a game." By the second movie, Kick-Ass has rubbed off on her a little, and she's no longer nearly so kill-happy (indeed, she only kills when she has no other options) and takes her job ''very'' seriously.
* CuteBruiser: She's pretty young in both films.
* DanceBattler: A bit literal. She tries out for the dance team by fighting imaginary enemies.
-->'''Mindy:''' Four guys, with knives...no escape.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her mother died giving childbirth due to a drug overdose, she was raised since she was a young girl to be a vigilante killing machine, and her [[spoiler: father died]] from [[spoiler: being burned to death]] when she was just 12 years old.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her response to getting told to put a dollar in the swear jar is that they need a bigger jar.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Towards Dave.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In the sequel, her response to being pranked by Brooke.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens three times in the sequel. The first time happens when [[spoiler: Dave starts changing into pimp clothing]], the second is when she watches [[ProductPlacement Union J's "Carry You" music video]], and the third time is when [[spoiler: [[ShirtlessScene Dave takes his shirt off]] right before the climax]].
* DominoMask: Part of her costume.
* EnfantTerrible: Invoked by her father as part of his revenge.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Robin}} Damien Wayne]].
* FightingWithChucks: In Kick Ass 2, she uses a pink nunchaku along with her double-ended glaive to take on four thugs who were about to kill Dave early on in the film.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Good to innocents and fellow crime fighters, and absolutely lethal towards bad guys.
* GunsAkimbo: Uses a SIG Sauer P232 and a H&K USP Compact towards the end of the first film.
* HypercompetentSidekick: To Kick-Ass.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: In the sequel, she does her utmost to try and settle down because various people like Marcus express distaste at her superhero life. Unfortunately, the resident AlphaBitch ruins it all for her, while Dave encourages her to not reject who she truly is.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Like her father.
* KidsAreCruel: Just towards the criminals.
* KidHero: She's been a hero since she was at least 12, possibly younger.
* KidSidekick: To Big Daddy. By ''Kick-Ass 2'', she's a bit too old to qualify.
* KnifeNut: She adores balisongs and swords, although she is a pretty good shot as well.
* KnightTemplar: She thinks the crusade of vengeance she's on is both a game and completely justified.
* LittleMissBadass: Possibly the epitome of this trope.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: To Dave. She's brutal and foul-mouthed while Dave's nerdy and sweet.
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:She died]].
* NoSocialSkills: In the second film, she tries to fit into everyday, teenage girl life, but finds that she can't do it.
* OneManArmy: She can carve through armies of gangbanger mooks like it was nothing.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Thanks to her dad's upbringing, she fights criminals in an extremely brutal fashion.
* [[spoiler:ParentalAbandonment: Her mom's already dead at the start of the story. Her dad dies in front of her due to fatal injuries]].
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Is only 5'4"ft but still manages to kick criminals who are larger than her's ass.
* PragmaticHero: Not above simply taking the easiest, and most brutal, option.
* SirSwearsALot: Marcus has two swear jars. She's filled both of them.
-->'''Mindy:''' You're gonna need a bigger jar.
* [[spoiler:SixthRanger: Of Justice Forever towards the climax of ''Kick-Ass 2'']].
* SociopathicHero: Is extremely brutal, and appears to even take joy in killing criminals.
* {{Tomboy}}: Seems to have little to no interest in what girls her age are interested in [[spoiler: except for boys, in Kick Ass 2]], and likes knives and guns.
* {{Tykebomb}}: Her father trained her to fight criminals in general and the D'Amico family specifically.
%%* UnscrupulousHero
* VigilanteMan: One of the first costumed heroes, and much more shameless about doing whatever is necessary to stop criminals.
* WeakButSkilled: Uses weapons a lot more than she uses her fists in combat, but it's [[{{Justified}} justified]] seeing as she's only a child (albeit, a highly trained one with extensive combat experience) who fights against adult criminals.
* WellIntentionedExtremist : She wants to take down criminals, protect people and avenge [[spoiler:her mother and father]]. However, her methods of doing so are extremely brutal.
* TheWorfEffect: Realistically played straight, twice. Yes, she's a human killing machine, going through {{Mook}}s like they were nothing, but [[spoiler:during her RoaringRampageOfRevenge at the end of the film, she is almost killed when she runs out of ammo and was about to be killed by a rocket launcher [[BigDamnHeroes when Dave/Kick-Ass came out to help with the jetpack]] her and her father [[GatlingGood modified with mini-guns]]. And then, during her fight with Frank D'Amico, it was a CurbStompBattle that nearly ''killed'' her and was only lucky because Dave/Kick-Ass was able to grab the rocket launcher from before and use it to kill D'Amico. If it wasn't for Dave, she would have been dead both times]]. Also done in the sequel, where she [[spoiler:would have been killed by Mother Russia]] if it wasn't for [[spoiler: Mother Russia injecting her with adrenaline when Mother Russia thought it was poison]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple. It's a wig, but still.
!!Damon [=McCready=] (Big Daddy)
->'''Played By:''' NicolasCage
->''"Tool up, honey bunny. It's time to get bad guys."''
An ex-cop who, after being framed by Frank D'Amico for corruption, became a vigilante superhero to tear down the criminal enterprise from outside the law. He and his daughter are the real first costumed heroes, but they flew under the radar, unlike Kick-Ass.
----
* ActionHero: Is basically a mixture of Batman and the Punisher.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Sort of. [[spoiler:His cop backstory is real here, as opposed to being made-up in the comic]].
* AntiHero: He wants to take down [[TheDon Frank D'Amico]] by taking out his assets. Big Daddy may be good inside, but his [[KillEmAll methods]] push him here.
* {{Badass}}: The best example in the movie: taking down an entire warehouse full of Mafia goons by himself.
** AdaptationalBadass: Much more hands-on than his comic counterpart.
** BadassCape: Similar to Franchise/{{Batman}}.
** BadassMustache: Sports a rather prominent mustache that he touches when he's thinking.
* BigNo: When he [[spoiler:thinks Hit-Girl has been killed]].
* ByronicHero: A former policeman who is haunted by his past, and fully intends to get his revenge on the cause.
* TheCowl: More brutal than the average costumed superhero in the "Kick-Ass" series, and is mostly active as Big Daddy at night.
* CrusadingWidower: [[spoiler: His wife committed suicide by overdose after he went to jail. Luckily, the doctors managed to save her baby]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Being framed and sent to jail, as well as his wife's death, did not have a good effect on Damon's psyche.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Like the typical Franchise/{{Batman}} routine. However...
* DespairEventHorizon: His wife committing suicide after he was thrown in prison for five years.
* {{Expy}}: Of {{Batman}} and ThePunisher.
* GoodIsNotSoft: The warehouse massacre is a good example.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: After seeing his daughter alive, he dies from his burns with a smile on his face]].
* GunNut: Has an [[WallOfWeapons entire room full of guns and ammunition.]]
%%* HotDad
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[spoiler:Averted, prior to being framed by Frank D'Amico, he had no consideration of becoming a vigilante men. He had a happy, normal life. At least, until Frank D'Amico tears his family apart]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As violent, deranged and merciless as he is, he's quite clear he has still an hidden morality left and he's able to distinguish his potential targets from innocent bystanders. It's also implied that once he would have accomplished his personal vendetta he would have sent Mindy to school and giving her a childhood like every ordinary girl.
* [[spoiler:KillItWithFire: Brutally tortured and set on fire by D'Amico's men]].
%%* KnightInSourArmor / KnightTemplarParent
* LargeHam: He's played by Nicolas Cage, who's AdamWesting by channeling himself ''and'' Adam West.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpZcbgyFbv0 Big Daddy Kills]], a piece stunningly similar to "In the House, in a Heartbeat" from TwentyEightDaysLater. It pretty much perfectly embodies Big Daddy's personality. Notably heard in the warehouse scene. [[spoiler:Interestingly, a small portion of the tune can be heard in Kick-Ass 2 when Hit-Girl reminisces on him.]]
* LightningBruiser: He moves fast, can be very stealthy, is a crack shot, is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, and has a utility belt with explosives and flares, not to mention who-knows-what other gadgets on it.
* [[spoiler:MentorOccupationalHazard: Dead by the end of the first film.]]
* {{NYPD}}: Is a former officer of the New York Police Department.
* PapaWolf: Is extremely protective of Mindy, even though he regularly puts her in dangerous situations.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: The reason he's become a vigilante is to pay back Frank D'Amico and his empire for framing him and driving his wife to suicide.
* [[spoiler:PosthumousCharacter:]] After the first movie, [[spoiler: Hit Girl keeps her father's things and gear in a special Batcave like case, preserving his memory and keeps on going with the mission they had set in the first movie of protecting New York City]].
%%* PragmaticHero
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against Frank D'Amico, for framing him and causing his wife's suicide. [[spoiler:Unlike in the comics, his reasoning was genuine here]].
* [[spoiler:RevengeBeforeReason: His obsession with revenge prevents him from just living a normal life with his daughter. Unfortunately, he never gets to see his ArchEnemy die]].
* SociopathicHero: Oddly averted to some degree. He's more or less a normal father but he wants revenge against Frank D'Amico.
%%* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight
* TragicHero: So ''very'', ''very'' tragic.
%%* {{Ubermensch}}
%%* TheUnfettered
* UnscrupulousHero: In his only onscreen fight scene, he slices throats, uses grenades, shoots to kill with his Beretta 92FS and a Mossberg 500 he took from a mook, and finishes by setting the building on fire.
* VigilanteMan: Becomes the first costumed vigilante in the Kick-Ass series once he gets out of prison after he is set-up and sent to prison for drug charges and after his wife dies from a drug overdose.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: A rare "good" example.
* WidowerHero: Became a costumed vigilante after his wife's suicide and after he got released out of prison.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Pretty much what Frank D'Amico did drove him into this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Toxic Mega Cunts]]
!!In general
The Motherfucker's LegionOfDoom, formed in order to destroy Kick-Ass and everything he ever stood for.
----
* BloodKnight: See OnlyInItForTheMoney.
* CaptainEthnic: If they aren't white or American then they've been given a costume and told to play one of these.
* EvilCounterpart: To Justice Forever.
* LegionOfDoom: Assembled by the Motherfucker, who purposefully invokes this as he gets the toughest crooks he can and gives them costumes and villain names.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Subverted. Though it's the reason why most people join The Toxic Mega Cunts in the beginning, they all have way too much fun doing it to say it's true. Mother Russia gets paid more than the others ($50,000 a week plus expenses) but she certainly earns it.
* PsychoForHire: The reason they're a group is because their leader realizes that in combat he simply isn't up for the challenge.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Let's see. We have:
** A BigBadWannabe, who is also [[spoiler: a LonelyRichKid out for AvengingTheVillain]].
** A HuskyRusskie OneManArmy (well, One Woman).
** A PintsizedPowerhouse {{Jerkass}}.
** A YellowPeril PsychoForHire.

* [[spoiler:EyeScream: Hit-Girl kills him with his own fingers by making him stab himself in the eye]].
* FakeAmerican: Is played by a British actor.
!!Katryna Dubrovsky (Mother Russia)
->'''Played By''': Olga Kurkulina
Easily the most powerful of the Motherfucker's minions, she spent years in a Russian gulag and is a former member of the KGB.
----
* AffablyEvil: Surprisingly, Mother Russia is very sociable for a woman who goes around brutally killing people.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She's more skilled, physically stronger, and more experienced than Hit-Girl.
** CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:First for Mother Russia. Hit-Girl at the end]].
** NoSell: All of Hit-Girl attacks [[spoiler:until she got the adrenaline shot]].

* [[spoiler:DeathOfAThousandCuts: Hit Girl kills her with dozens of shards of glass]].
* DirtyCommunists: Is a former member of the KGB.
* TheDragon: To the Motherfucker. She's a lot more competent in the combat department than he is.
** DragonInChief: [[LaughablyEvil The Motherfucker]] wouldn't nearly be as much of a threat as he is in the second film if it wasn't for Mother Russia.
* EyepatchOfPower: One with a symbol of a hammer and a sickle.
* HuskyRusskie: Is a large, tall, and muscular Russian.
* GloriousMotherRussia: A rock version of ''Korobeiniki'' (aka the ''Tetris'' song) plays while she kills 10 police officers.
* ImAHumanitarian: She '''ate''' her cellmate when she was in the gulag. ''She ate her cellmate''.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Manages to kill 7 police officers with a propane tank, a car door, and a lawnmower.
* MacheteMayhem: Uses a machete that says "God give, God take" in Russian to [[spoiler: kill Colonel Star and Stripes]].
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: It's in her name.
* MurderousThighs: Mother Russia's signature finishing move is catching her opponent's head in a chokehold between her right thigh and leg, than optionally [[NeckSnap snapping her opponent's neck.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Spent time in the gulag. The gulag was dissolved in 1960.
** Unless the film uses the term "gulag" to refer to Russian prison in general, which is much more likely.
* OneManArmy: Kills 3 police officers with a 3rd-generation Glock 17 she took from a dead police officer and another 7 police officers with improvisation.
%%* PsychoForHire
* TattooedCrook: Has tattoos on both arms.
* UnfortunateImplications: Pointed out InUniverse as Javier explains having a character called Mother Russia alongside another called Motherfucker maybe a bad idea.

* PsychoForHire: Alongside the rest.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: Was a former member of the Triad.
* YellowPeril: His name invokes this.
!!Javier
->'''Played By''': John Leguizamo
Chris' bodyguard/assistant/probably not butler, he's very loyal to his charge, but more than a little disturbed at the direction revenge is taking him.
----
* AffablyEvil: He genuinely seems a NiceGuy aside from the fact that he's helping a wannabe supervillain, and even then he does his best to stop him from going overboard, trying to persuade him to abandon the bad life.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It's made very clear that he cares about Chris.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Constantly calls Chris out on his politically incorrect naming of characters.
* HonestAdvisor: Doesn't bullshit to his boss even when it's obvious that his idea is either stupid or just plain silly.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Has a much firmer grip on reality than Chris, and does most of the work organizing the Toxic Mega Cunts.
* MoralityChain: He tries to keep a lid on Motherfucker's more insane ideas. [[spoiler:When he dies, Chris goes off the rails and promptly starts murdering people and kicking dogs (metaphorically, not literally- he's not ''that'' evil) like there's no tomorrow]].
* MoralityPet: For Chris.
* ParentalSubstitute: Becomes one for Chris, who calls him the only family he has left.
* PunchClockVillain: Doesn't seem all that interested in being evil. He mostly just tries to mitigate Chris' borderline-insanity and to keep him from self-destructing.
* [[spoiler:SlashedThroat: Courtesy of Chris' uncle's men]].

[[folder:Justice Forever]]
!!Sal Bertolinni (Colonel Stars-and-Stripes)

An ex-mob enforcer and born-again-Christian who forms the team to fight the same type of criminals he used to be.
----
* AntiHero: He used to be a former mob enforcer, and in spite of his reform he's willing to let his dog Eisenhower bite a gangster in the balls to interrogate him.
* TheAtoner: Came to regret what he did and became a born-again Christian.
* {{Badass}}: The guy can certainly fight.
* BatterUp: Uses an axe handle that's painted red, white, and blue to fight criminals.
* BeingEvilSucks: After surviving his encounter with Big Daddy in the first film.
%%* BrooklynRage
* CaptainPatriotic: Invokes this image with his costume, axe handle and the American flags in the Justice Forever HQ.
* ColonelBadass: Not an actual colonel, but it's invoked as part of his superhero persona.
* CompositeCharacter: Of Colonel Stars and Lieutenant Stripes from the comics.
* [[spoiler:DefiantToTheEnd: He fights even when it's obvious that he's clearly outmatched]].
* DoesNotLikeGuns: Well, ''loaded'' ones at least.
* [[spoiler:FaceDeathWithDignity: Takes the opportunity for what he clearly knows are his last words to repeat his group's creed of "Justice Forever".]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: He's a NiceGuy outside of combat. He's all business when it comes to combat, and his enemies get his bad side.
* HeelFaceTurn: Had one pre-story- he apparently used to be an enforcer for the D'Amicos, but left the business when he found religion.
%%* LargeHam
* NiceGuy: After reforming, he encourages Insect Man to embrace his sexuality and not get himself down about it, supports Remembering Tommy in their efforts and encourages Kick-Ass to keep fighting the good fight, reminding him that he's the reason Justice Forever exists.

* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion: Killed to show how much of a threat the Toxic Mega Cunts are]].
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation: Not him personally, but his dog Eisenhower is murdered in the comics. Here, the Mother Fucker spares him on the grounds that EvenEvilHasStandards]].
* TechnicalPacifist: Has no problem beating criminals with an axe handle, or with allowing his dog to bite people in the balls, but regardless, he won't kill anyone.
* ThouShaltNotKill: The reason why he carries an ''unloaded'' Smith & Wesson 5946 -- he uses it for intimidation, but it won't be taking any lives.
!!Doctor Gravity
->'''Played By''': Donald Faison
A geeky superhero fanboy who nevertheless does genuinely want to help people. Not actually a doctor.
----
* {{Badass}}: The guy can sure fight when he wants to.
* BatterUp: Uses a bat wrapped in tinfoil to fight crime. [[spoiler:Upgrades it to have spikes pop out.]]

A young gay man who was bullied for years, and now wants to help the helpless.

* CoolMask: Averted. He specifically chose not to wear a mask since the idea of hiding his identity feels like being in the closet to him.
* FakeAmerican: Played by a British actor.
* StraightGay: The only way we know he's gay is because he admits to having come out of the closet some time ago. Colonel Stars-And-Stripes says that his sexuality doesn't matter, just as long as he keeps fighting the good fight.
!!Miranda Swendlow (Night Bitch)
->'''Played By''': Lindy Booth
A stripperiffic hero who perhaps has too much of a fetish for the NinetiesAntiHero, but still sees the good in what costumed heroes are doing.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her costume shows off a lot of cleavage.
* [[spoiler:AttemptedRape]]: Motherfucker tries to [[spoiler:rape her...but can't get it up]]. He's so pathetic, it's ultimately PlayedForLaughs.
* {{Badass}}: Surprisingly, yes. She works well with the rest of the team, and makes good use of her [[ImprovisedWeapon pool cue]].
* DawsonCasting: A particularly extreme example. Night Bitch is, since we see her still living with her father, probably in her late teens or twenties. The actress is ''34''.
* MsFanservice: Wears a {{Stripperific}} costume that shows a lot of skin.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her costume...is not designed for protection. In any sense of the word.

----
* AdaptationalHeroism: He's nowhere ''near'' as evil as his comic book counterpart.
* AdaptationNameChange: From Genovese to D'Amico.
* {{Adorkable}}: Before he becomes [[spoiler: The Motherfucker]], Chis shows shades of this.
* AffablyEvil: Actually seems to have been a nice kid before [[spoiler: his father's death]], and still shows shades of it once he becomes [[spoiler: The Motherfucker]] as he [[spoiler: rewards Todd after Todd tells him that Dave's dad is in prison]].
* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: Losses both of his legs and his [[GroinAttack "baton"]] to his pet shark towards the end of Kick Ass 2]].

* AxeCrazy: [[spoiler: After his uncle has Javier killed]].
* BigBadWannabe: After [[spoiler: his father's death]], as he's rather incompetent, up to the point that everyone else in the Toxic Mega Cunts is a better fighter than him. However, he still manages to be a threat, as [[spoiler: he successfully has the Colonel and Dave's father murdered by Mother Russia and some thugs respectively, has Night Bitch hospitalized after he failed to rape her due to erectile disfunction, and indirectly made vigilante superheroes illegal]]. Regardless, this doesn't stop him from being LaughablyEvil.
* CardCarryingVillain: As [[spoiler: the Motherfucker.]]
* ColorCharacter: ''Red'' Mist.
* CombatPragmatist: In the final fight with Kick Ass, he has no qualms turning tail and retreating so that he can get the jump on Kick Ass using a pipe. Justified since Kick-Ass is wearing Kevlar armor.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He becomes a villain for real after [[spoiler: his father's death]].
* CrucifiedHeroShot: {{Invoked}} despite being the villain, instead he wants to be an "evil Jesus" (with rather mixed results) making this {{inverted}} and {{subverted}}.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of comic book supervillains. In the end, he's just a delusional kid who thinks life is a comic book, whose only "superpower" is his money while being [[LaughablyEvil fairly incompetent]]....but [[{{Reconstruction}} still manages to be somewhat of a threat]]. While he can't quite get the handle on being a legitimately threatening presence, his actions as a supervillain are surprisingly effective. The cops are essentially all but useless to stop his schemes, and it's only due to the actions of the heroes that his plans to cause wholesale destruction are averted.
* DespairEventHorizon: The [[spoiler:death of Javier]] cut what few strings of sanity Chris had remaining.
* [[spoiler: EunuchsAreEvil: His dick gets bitten off by his pet shark at the end of Kick Ass 2]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He really does care about his familly, though in the second film he has developed a hatred for his mother, but than again it was only because [[spoiler: she was in denial about her husband's death and refused to take revenge.]] Javier gets included into this trope after he's introduced. Also DownPlayed in regard for Kick-Ass as it seems that Chris thinks of him as a friend but that won't stop Chris from killing him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: After he learned that Dave is nothing in the grand scheme of things, Chris wanted him spared. Unfortunately for him, his father is adamant on having him killed to give a message to other would-be superheroes. Also, killing a dog is going ''way'' to far.
* EvilCostumeSwitch:
** After being revealed as TheMole [[spoiler:and his father's death]], Chris switches to a new costume. [[spoiler:It's pretty much the same, but with a more menacing mask, the AnimeHair toned down, & the red switched to a creepy orange]].
** In the sequel he switches to an outfit composed entirely of bondage gear. Javier is rather grossed out by it. Justified due to his mom throwing away his Red Mist costume.
* EvilCounterpart: To Kick-Ass & Hit-Girl.
** Mostly to Kick-Ass, considering that they are both inept in combat and that they are both comic geeks who lost [[spoiler: both of their parents]].
** To Hit-Girl in that, like Kick Ass, in that all three of them have [[spoiler: lost their parents]], and like Hit-Girl, he [[spoiler: went on a vengeful rampage when his dad was killed.]]
* [[spoiler: EvilCripple: In the post-credits scene of Kick Ass 2 we see him alive but without his legs or dick due to his pet shark.]]
* {{Expy}}: He's a LonelyRichKid, his father is the BigBad, the sequel sets up for an AvengingTheVillain story-line, and he was briefly friends with the hero. He's pretty much [[SpiderMan Harry Osborn]], minus the glider.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Much like Dave, he was once just an ordinary high-school student, his dad just happened to lead a criminal empire. [[spoiler:In the second film he made it his personal mission to become the world's first real supervillain. He came pretty damn close, arguably even succeeding]].
* GenreSavvy: Figures out that Kick-Ass is a comic geek, and uses that to gain his trust as Red Mist.
* GunsAkimbo: In the sequel, he wields two of his mother's Para-Ordnance Nite-Tacs with ivory grips once he becomes [[spoiler: the Motherfucker]]. Its [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when we find out, he doesn't actually have [[GangstaStyle much skill with them]], leaving the work to his Toxic Mega Cunts or Mother Russia.
* HookersAndBlow: Once he becomes [[spoiler: The Motherfucker]], Chris uses some of his money to hire prostitutes and dancers.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Depends to how you see Chris: [[spoiler:someone who could become a BigBad like his father before him or just a BigBadWannabe]]. His initial attempts at villainy are probably even ''more'' ridiculous than Kick-Ass' initial attempts at superheroism. He becomes a significantly bigger threat once he [[spoiler:realizes his [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney "superpower"]] and forms his LegionOfDoom,]] though that doesn't stop him from being LaughablyEvil all the way.
** NotSoHarmlessVillain: His own uncle doesn't take him seriously, albeit with [[LaughablyEvil some reason.]] [[spoiler: He indirectly led to the death of dozens of people, including cops, the Colonel, and Dave's father.]]
* KickTheDog:
** [[DefiedTrope Defied]] in the sequel, where [[spoiler:Mother Russia asks if she should kill Eisenhower the dog]]. His reply is "Jesus Christ! I'm not ''that'' evil".
** Played straight later when he brags about murdering [[spoiler:Stars-And-Stripes]], tries raping [[spoiler:Night Bitch]] and finally has [[spoiler:Kick-Ass' father murdered in a horribly brutal way, even for mob standards]]
* LaughablyEvil: Nearly everything he does, up to and including his [[spoiler: [[AttemptedRape attempt to rape Night Bitch]]]] is played for laughs.
* LonelyRichKid: Due to his bodyguards, he's never been able to interact with kids his age or even make a friend.
%%* LawOfChromaticSuperiority
* MafiaPrincess: Probably the only reason why he was taking orders. Hell, his uncle, the head of the crime family, even tells him to settle down and go off to college because he doesn't want him being in this line of work.
* TheMole: Only becomes a superhero to track down Kick-Ass for his father. The difference from the comic is that the viewers know he's the mole before the heroes do; he discusses his plan with his father before being seen in costume.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Shows some signs that he's racist, especially in regards to the supervillain names he gives some of the members of the Toxic Mega Cunts (i.e. "Black Death", "Genghis Carnage").
** EqualOpportunityEvil: That said, he's willing to employ regardless of colour or gender; the only qualifications for being accepted are that you fight well and don't want to be a good guy.
* PsychopathicManchild: He utterly thinks life is like in a comic, and doesn't seem to understand that his actions have real consequences.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Red Mist, his outfit is primarily red with black details. [[spoiler:He swaps it out for an almost entirely black costume with red details as The Motherfucker, showing he's ''really'' gone to the dark side.]]
* SanitySlippage: Happens in varying stages throughout the second film, he slips completely off the edge when [[spoiler: Javier dies]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: His "superpower."
* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan: By accident admittedly, though it doesn't faze him much]].
* SelfServingMemory: In the second film he seems intensely fixated on the fact that Kick-Ass [[spoiler:blew up his father with a bazooka]], forgetting that he knew his father was a mafia boss who attempted to kill Kick-Ass, Big Daddy, and Hit-Girl, and attempted to broadcast the executions of the former two on the internet.
* ShadowArchetype: To Dave "Kick-Ass" Lizewski.
* SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness: [[spoiler: Becomes nearly as evil as his own father in the sequel, he attempts to rape Night Bitch, brutally kills Stars And Stripes, murders Dave's father, and attempts to kill Dave and Mindy at the funeral]].
* SmokingIsCool: Smokes a joint in the first film, thinking it's cool, while in the "Mist-Mobile" with Kick Ass.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Perhaps a little foul-mouthed from the start, but it's hard to imagine the Chris from the beginning of the first movie doing all the things he ends up doing in the second.
* WouldHitAGirl: As Hit-Girl and Night Bitch can attest to.
!!Frank D'Amico
->'''Played By:''' MarkStrong
A powerful and violent crime boss who knows he doesn't spend enough time with his son. After framing a cop for corruption, he finds his organization under assault by a masked vigilante.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: His comic book equivalent, Johnny G, spends ''far'' less time in focus than Frank.
* AdaptationNameChange: From Johnny G to Frank D'Amico.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Since Chris in the movie is not as vile as his comic counterpart, his father picks up the slack.
* AffablyEvil: Starts the movie as this, being the head of a mob family who is seen having breakfast with his family. His true colors are quickly revealed, showing him to actually be...
** FauxAffablyEvil: Particularly when he thinks he's found Kick-Ass walking on the street. Frank cordially greets the costumed man before beating him to the ground and shooting him dead.
* ArchEnemy: To the [=McCready=]s, especially Damon/Big Daddy.
* {{Badass}}: See KingpinInHisGym, but he [[spoiler:almost kills Hit Girl in ''one on one'' combat]].
* BadBoss: When Chris needs someone to turn in to the police to make a name for himself as Red Mist, Frank gives up one of his own men. Then again, the reason he's so angry at Hit-Girl and Big Daddy is because they killed his men.
* BigBad: Of the first movie.
%%* BaldOfEvil
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His clothing and possessions have are usually orange. [[spoiler:His son takes after him as a villain but drops the orange look competely when he becomes the Motherfucker]].
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDon: Head of the Mafia that we see in the first film.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Really does love his son.
* FakeAmerican: He's played by the British MarkStrong.
* KnightOfCerebus: He's the main reason why the movie has a lot of serious MoodWhiplash moments.
* KingpinInHisGym: Keeps a Wing Chun dojo in his penthouse and is a capable martial artist.
* LargeHam: He gets louder as he dives into his [[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]] during the movie.
%%* LeanAndMean
* RedRightHand: The scar on his forehead, which looks like a cross between a spiral and parentheses.
%%* SirSwearsALot
* VillainousBreakdown: Has one increasing steadily throughout the movie. He executes someone in broad daylight, goes batshit at his henchmen and starts doing cocaine (which was implied he kicked several years before).
* VillainousFriendship: With his dragon, Big Joe.
* WellDoneSonGuy: His interaction with his son is a very weak PetTheDog.
* WouldHitAGirl / WouldHurtAChild: He has no qualms in giving a roundhouse kick to an eleven year old girl's face and then giving her a thorough vicious beat down. Though in his defense she is also a near unstoppable killing machine who single handedly slaughtered his entire building full of mooks.
!!Angie D'Amico
->'''Played By''': Yancy Butler
Frank's wife and Chris' mother.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Seems to have dived into this in the second film, if the coffee table stacked with bottles are any indication.
* [[spoiler:BackForTheDead: She only has one scene in the second film, and it has her die by being fried alive]].
* TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch: She insists that [[spoiler:her husband]]'s death was a tragic accident.
-->'''Chris:''' Mom, he didn't die in a fire, he ''got shot with a fucking bazooka!''
* CovertPervert: [[spoiler:Chris and Javier find a collection of bondage gear in her room after her death]].
* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath: Fried alive in a tanning bed]]!
%%* HotMom
* OnlySaneMan: The only one to consider that going out for revenge might NOT be the best idea. Though there's also the possibility she's the craziest of them all, and has managed to convince herself there's nothing to take revenge ''for''.
!!Ralph D'Amico
->'''Played By''': Iain Glen
Frank's brother, and Chris' uncle. In prison in the second film, but still helping run the family from the inside.
----
* BoxedCrook: He's bribed the warden of his prison so he can talk freely, and evidently his influence extends far beyond the prison.
* BiggerBad: He's this to The Motherfucker's BigBadWannabe in the second film. It was his order to [[spoiler:execute Javier]] that motivated The Motherfucker to the MoralEventHorizon trope in the first place.
* TheCorrupter: Unintentional variant. He only has a minute or two of screentime, yet manages to [[spoiler:make Chris go AxeCrazy, meaning he's responsible for most of the tragedy in the second half of Kick Ass 2]]. Though he does realize it was a mistake almost immediately.
-->'''Ralph:''' Chris, just take some time off! Go to college or something!\\
'''Chris:''' Why bother? You just taught me everything I needed to know.
* TheDon: [[spoiler:Now the ''real'' head of the family business, seeing as Chris is off playing supervillain and squandering his own fortune]].
* EvilUncle: To Chris.
* EvilerThanThou: Proves this to Chris by having one of his minions [[spoiler:kill Javier]].
* FakeAmerican: Iain Glen is Scottish.
* FauxAffablyEvil: It evidently runs in the family.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite making The Motherfucker [[spoiler:go AxeCrazy]] and [[spoiler: ordering one of his thugs to kill Javier]], he never gets punished for it in the second film.
* PragmaticVillain: He tries (and fails) to make [[LaughablyEvil The Motherfucker]] lie low not because he thought he was being too evil but because he thought that he was bringing too much attention to himself.
* SparedByAdaptation: In the comic book he was already dead by the time of ''Kick-Ass 2'', shot in the head by Hit-Girl in the interquel.
* SlasherSmile: A particularly creepy one.
!!Big Joe
->'''Played By:''' Michael Rispoli
Frank D'Amico's right-hand man in the first film.
----
* AffablyEvil: He seems like such a nice guy when not murdering people on behalf of his boss.
%%* BeardOfEvil

%%* [[spoiler:BoomHeadshot]]
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDragon: To Frank.
* HonestAdvisor: He's not afraid to be critical of Frank, telling him not to lose it and that it's a bad idea to start doing cocaine again.

The chief of police, paid off quite handsomely by Frank D'Amico.
----
* CorruptCop: He's on the payroll of Frank D'Amico.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He appears a little disturbed by the live online feed of Big Daddy and Kick-Ass being tortured. Not that he lifts a single finger to do anything or ever complains to Frank.
* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: Despite being the person most responsible for Big Daddy getting locked up (besides Frank himself), he's never targeted and escapes the film without a scratch]].
* {{NYPD}}: Is an officer of the New York Police Department.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He isn't seen after the broadcast.
!!Cody
->'''Played By''': Dexter Fletcher
One of D'Amico's mooks in the first film.

!!Huge Goon/Stu
->'''Played By''': Stu 'Large' Riley
Chris' bodyguard in the first film.
----
%%* AngryBlackMan
%%* TheBrute

!!James Lizewski
->'''Played By''': Garrett M. Brown
Dave's father. He doesn't really know how to raise his son after his wife dies, but he tries.
----
* BumblingDad: Tries to be a competent father, but seems to have some trouble connecting with his son.
* CoolOldGuy: As shown in the flashbacks of the sequel, he was the one that helped Dave start his interest with comics by hanging a MarkMillar comic on the wall.
* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath: The way he gets murdered is ridiculously brutal, even for the film's standards]].
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Claims to be Kick-Ass to the police to prevent Dave from being arrested, and dies for it- he acknowledges the possibility long before it happens]].
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:When push comes to shove, he does what he has to to protect his son]].
-->'''James:''' Someday, when you have kids of your own, you'll understand.
* [[spoiler: SacrificialLion: To a certain extent]].
!!Marty Eisenberg (Battle Guy)

One of Dave's friends. In the first film, he's a minor side character, but in the sequel he has become a costumed hero inspired by Kick-Ass, unaware that his best friend is Kick-Ass.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: Significantly more screen time than the comic.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In the second film.

* PairTheSpares: Subverted, Marty winds up hooking up with Erica but Todd is still single at the end of the film.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Todd.
* TookALevelInBadass: As Battle Guy.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In-universe - Towards the end of the first film, he starts to question where Dave is all the time, only to be told he's ''obviously'' with Katie by Erica; having seemingly realized that Dave's never around in the evenings, even when Katie's working & Dave would logically be free.
!!Todd Haynes (Ass-Kicker)
->'''Played By''': Evan Peters (''Kick-Ass''), Augustus Prew (''Kick-Ass 2'')
Dave's other friend. He follows Kick-Ass obsessively.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: Significantly more screen time than the comic.
* CaptainErsatz: An in-universe one for Kick-Ass, even with the names as well.
* FatAndSkinny: The Skinny to Marty's Fat.
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: After accidentally getting Dave's dad killed by revealing that Kick-Ass is ''not'' Dave's dad, he eventually realises he just isn't a villain through a case of EveryoneHasStandards, rejoins the heroes and saves Marty. Still gets no punishment for what he did though]].
* JailbaitWait: After seeing Hit Girl save Kick-Ass & Big Daddy, Todd exclaims that he thinks he's in love with her, only for Marty to point out that she's around 11. He then declares he'll save himself for her.
* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: He doesn't receive much punishment for indirectly causing the death of Dave's father]].
* [[spoiler:MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Though he doesn't quite realise that something ''that'' bad is going to happen from his doing so]].
* TheOtherDarrin: Played by Evan Peters in the first movie, but replaced by Augustus Prew in the second movie, presumably because Peters was filming ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''.
* [[spoiler:SixthRangerTraitor: For the Toxic Mega Cunts, but not on purpose]].
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Marty.
* [[spoiler:UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:]] You see those spoiler tags? [[spoiler:He isn't a WalkingSpoiler, but, unknowingly, his action of bragging to Chris about whom Kick-Ass actually was sets up the final act of the sequel.]]

->'''Played By:''' Lyndsy Fonseca
Dave's girlfriend, who is known for hanging out with gay guys. Significantly more sympathetic than in the comic.

* FagHag: She wishes.
* [[spoiler:SecretKeeper: She learns that Dave is Kick-Ass early in the first movie, and keeps it secret even after their breakup early in the second]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Her relationship with Dave. And she dated Rasul because she thought he was a kind [[TheWoobie woobie]] before realizing he was far from it.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the second movie where she makes a 180 from the good-hearted person she was in the first movie. This does bring her closer to her comic counterpart.

Damon's only remaining friend, who is deeply disturbed about his revenge quest and what it means for his daughter.
----
* BaldOfAwesome: The guy has one shiny head.
* BashBrothers: He and Damon are implied to be this when the latter was still a cop.
* ByTheBookCop: He doesn't approve of vigilantes, though that may be partly because he doesn't want Mindy being hurt or killed.
* CanonForeigner: Was a character created specifically for the first movie, but ended up being introduced in the comics, playing the same role.
* TheOtherDarrin: Played by Omari Hardwick in the first movie, but replaced with Morris Chestnut in the second movie.
* PapaWolf: To Mindy, especially in the second movie.
* PromotionToParent: He's Mindy's ParentalSubstitute while Damon was in jail. [[spoiler:Happens again after Damon's death]].

!!Brooke
->'''Played By''': Claudia Lee
The AlphaBitch of Mindy's high school, she takes Mindy under her wing under the impression that she'll make a good underling.
----
* AlphaBitch: And proud of it. She makes no secret of the fact that her mom bribed the dance coach, for example, and takes great pains to arrange for the social downfall of those who annoy her.
* BaitTheDog: Poor Mindy. Brooke tries to remake her as a minion, until Mindy [[spoiler:appears to be a threat to her]].
** TheDogBitesBack: She bullied ''Hit-Girl'', though to be fair the superhero identity thing WAS unknown to her.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While it seems she was trying to be nice to Mindy at the beginning she ended becoming a full blown bitch towards her after Mindy steals the spotlight.
* BlondesAreEvil: Well, not evil per se, but certainly horrible.
* MsFanservice: She ''is'' quite hot and shows it off in her ludicrously age-inappropriate dance. The worst part? Brooke's actress ''averts'' DawsonCasting. She's 17.
* MuggingTheMonster: She bullied ''Hit-Girl'', who could have ripped her arm and beat her to death with it and the lack of qualms necessary to do so. Brooke got off easy.
** BullyingADragon: The act that had set her against Mindy was her gaining entry in the dance squad with martial arts moves. That should have tipped her off...
* QueenBee: The center of the school's social scene.
-->'''Brooke:''' You mess with the queen bee and you ''get stung''.
* SmugSnake: God, she loves to show off.
* TeensAreMonsters: Holy fuck, yes. Mindy calling her out emphasizes this and the fact she becomes borderline sociopathic when she is tormenting Mindy. [[spoiler:All of her torment comes to bite her in the ass with the Sick Stick though.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Attempts to give one to Mindy. It fails miserably.
