** Played straight to an extent in that his baseline machoism proved to be too much for his ex-wife as he'd to things like burn down the garden shed instead of dismantling it, keep a bull in the kitchen for midnight bull fights and once attempted to fight Cananian Guy to death on the front lawn (because why else would he invite him over?), all of which lead to their splitting which he regrets.

* AmazinglyTechnicolorWildlife: We may never know for certain what colors most dinosaurs were, but bright pink, orange, and red Velociraptors more than likely never existed. Earlier raptors that were bred by Jet had grey and brown colorations akin to real life birds of prey, but they were far less cuddly.

* BadassBaritone: Music/{{Gackt}} [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/im-sure-real-life-gackt-has-the-utmost-respect-for-tom-waits described his voice]] as sounding like he was "gargling tar". The Commander himself apparently thinks he sounds like Film/{{Beetlejuice}} and Music/TomWaits.



* OriginStory: Reveals his ''actual'' story in bits and pieces, but mainly after being Bishified. He's a being of popular perception bred to fulfill the Commander Badass persona, because in the future, wars are fought for public opinion.

* ParentalSubstitute: Despite employing Jared as an intern, The Commander clearly watches over and talks to Jared as this (not to mention tolerating the silliness he gets up to in the building). He even gives him a few gifts. Made quite obvious in [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/917 this strip]].

* {{Foil}}: To the Commander. Both are huge, muscular and masculine, but where the Commander's masculinity is confident and positive, Tank's is insecure and toxic when he presses his own BerserkButton.
