History Characters / MysteryMen

* RagingStiffie: When the Furriers get hit with the clothing shrinking ray, Roy comments that his pant feel like they're shrinking too.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She is the only girl on the team because [[[JustifiedTrope she's the only one, of either gender, who passed the tryouts]].

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:His own murder victim does him in with assistance with assistance from the daughter that Tony P mocked at very opportunity.]]

--> '''The Shoveler:''' Who you are the disco plumber?"

--> '''The Shoveler'': Who you are the disco plumber?"

* HateSink: He is the superhero of Champion City but unlike the genuinely heroic Mystery Men, however, [[ItsAllAboutMe Amazing is only in it for the fame and the money]] and [[{{Jerkass}} has no respect for his fans or other superheroes]]. Amazing crosses the line when, in an attempt to keep [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero his sponsors]] [[ItsAllAboutMe from pulling their endorsements due to his fights being boring without supervillains]], he tricks the insane asylum staff in releasing his nemesis [[AxCrazy Casanova]] [[FortheEvulz Frankenstein]], counting on Casanova to reek havoc. After Casanova blows up the asylum, Amazing arrives to apprehend him ([[TheSociopath showing no concern for all the inmates, guards, and asylum staff who are all dead because of him]]), but [[HoistbyHisOwnPetard is captured by Casanova instead]], and fails to convince Casanova to release him despite [[AintTooProudtoBeg promising to help with the evil plan]]. Considering he spends his final moments [[{{Jerkass}} yelling at and insulting the Mystery Men]], you will [[AssholeVictim probably cheer]] at his [[PoorCommunicationKills accidental death]] by [[BodyHorror psycho-fraculation]].

* GoneHorriblyRight: He lets loose his greatest rival to terrorize Champion City. He just never thought he'd end up a victim.

* ItsAllAboutMe: What's the point of being a superhero if there are no supervillains to defeat?

* GutturalGrowler: he puts on this type of voice at times to try to sound intimidating, but inevitably slips back into his natural higher-pitched voice.

* GassHole: Farting as a super-power.

* KingIncognito: In a Deleted scene, the gang attempt to contact him by going to a Mexican restaurant where it's said that one can summon the Sphinx by ordering specific items off the menu. After several failed attempts, they leave in frustration only for the Sphinx to appear out of costume shortly therafter as the bus boy who cleans up their table.

* FakeAmerican: Eddie's American accent is pretty good.
* FashionVictimVillain: His Disco suits are gloriously atrocious.

* FakeAmerican: A fairly plausible American accent.

->'''Played By''': Wes Studi

* LackOfEmpathy: Captain Amazing really doesn't care much about the lives he could potentially put in danger by releasing Casanova in the first place (in fact, he disregards the lives of Asylum's inmates, guards, and staff when Casanova blew up it up). He also doesn't bother remembering any fans he met personally.

* LackOfEmpathy: Captain Amazing really doesn't care much about the lives he could potentially put in danger by releasing Casanova in the first place (in fact, he disregards the lives of Asylum's inmates, guards, and staff when Casanova blew up it up). He also doesn't bother remember any fans he met personally.

* FakeUltimateHero: Captain Amazing is a genuinely powerful superhero with an impressive arsenal of technology. But he's such a GloryHound that he actually conspires to release a dangerous supervillain out into the streets just so he can fight him again and get praised by the public once again. Naturally, this backfires.

* BadassBiker: He wishes; he has a bike but is actually adorable.

%%%* BecomingTheBoast: At the end.
* BerserkButton: He tries to convince his enemies that he has a lot of these so he can work in his gimmick as much as possible. In his introductory scene, he claims to be incensed by a bad guy who is chewing with his mouth open. [[spoiler:Threatening his MoralityChain is a real one, though.]]
* TheBerserker: Flip-flopped. Ordinarily he's just bellowing and swatting at people. But give him enough motivation...
* CassandraTruth: He has this pet theory about Captain Amazing's true identity. But all his friends think it's ludicrous.

* CurbStompBattle: Tends to pick fights he can't win and get smacked down. [[spoiler:He turns it around on Casanova once his UnstoppableRage is ''genuinely'' set off.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He tries hard to be a jerk.

* SkywardScream: He tends to do this to announce himself to bad guys.
* SuperStrength: His apparent 'superpower'. [[spoiler: Turns out he's strong enough to throw a grown man over his shoulder - with his pinky. If sufficiently angry.]]

* UnstoppableRage: Supposedly. [[spoiler: And actually, it just requires ''genuine'' rage rather than just pretending to be mad.]]

* OnlySaneMan: At least, by the team's standards of sanity.
* ShovelStrike: Not particularly effective at the beginning, but he gets better.

* BasementDweller: He still lives with his mother. And even though he has a steady job, he states early in the movie that he has to steal his mother's silverware because he doesn't have any disposable income.

* DoesntLikeGuns: He's been crystal clear about that.

* FakeBrit: Literally, InUniverse. He pretends be English in public, but is really American in front of his mum.
* FlechetteStorm: His primary means of attack.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Kind of the point.

* ActionGirl: Against her will. She doesn't want to fight crime, she wants to go to graduate school. But she's snapped eagerly up by the team because she is confident, has a useful super-power, and can pronounce the word "cadre" correctly. There's also the fact her bowling ball is possessed by her father who wants revenge for his death.

* CursedWithAwesome: A parody of this trope. He's pretty proud of it, not angsty.

* GassHole: As a super-power.

* GagPenis: Implied.

* BigBad: His release from the asylum drives the plot.

* ChewingTheScenery: He revels in it!

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Once he has a hostage, he seems to go into this mode automatically.

* TheDragon: He acts as Casanova's muscle.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:His own murder victim does him in.]]
* KickTheDog: He casually mocks the daughter of the superhero he brutally murdered.

* YouKilledMyFather: Killed Bowler's father.

* {{Blaxploitation}}: He is a parody of such characters.

* JiveTurkey: His dialogue consists entirely of this.

* GangOfHats: Obviously, they adhere to a disco theme.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The theme of their gang.

* FurAndLoathing: The theme of their gang.
* HandbagOfHurt: Their primary means of attack.

* PantyShot: When they're hit by the shrink ray.

* JabbaTableManners: The way the Leader eats the cake in the old folks' home.

%%* CaptainSuperhero
* TheCape: His public image. He may have been that way back in the day, but now he's more worried about corporate sponsorships than being a hero.
* ClarkKenting: Only Mr. Furious sees through it.

%%* DeadpanSnarker: He does get in some good ones.

* HateSink: He is the superhero of Champion City but unlike the genuinely heroic Mystery Men, however, [[ItsAllAboutMe Amazing is only in it for the fame and the money]] and [[{{Jerkass}} has no respect for his fans or other superheroes]]. Amazing crosses the line when, in an attempt to keep [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero his sponsors]] [[ItsAllAboutMe from pulling their endorsements due to his fights being boring without supervillains]], he tricks the insane asylum staff in releasing is nemesis [[AxCrazy Casanova]] [[FortheEvulz Frankenstein]], counting on Casanova to reek havoc. After Casanova blows up the asylum, Amazing arrives to apprehend him ([[TheSociopath showing no concern for all the inmates, guards, and asylum staff who are all dead because of him]]), but [[HoistbyHisOwnPetard is captured by Casanova instead]], and fails to convince Casanova to release him despite [[AintTooProudtoBeg promising to help with the evil plan]]. Considering he spends his final moments [[{{Jerkass}} yelling at and insulting the Mystery Men]], you will [[AssholeVictim probably cheer]] at his [[PoorCommunicationKills accidental death]] by [[BodyHorror psycho-fraculation]].
* HeroismAddict: Why he vouches for Casanova to be released.

* {{Jerkass}}
* LargeHam: He's a little hammy in private, but much more so when he's in front of a camera.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Self-inflicted, with a little assistance from our heroes.

* MyCard: Hands The Shoveler his business card near the beginning of the film.

* DamselInDistress: In the third act.

* BadassBiker: He wishes.

* BecomingTheBoast: At the end.

* HeroicResolve: In a big way.

* TheChick[=/=]TheSmurfettePrinciple
* CompanionCube: Her bowling ball.

->'''Played By''': Kel Mitchell

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His power is to be invisible when no one is watching. That's a mighty big restriction, but he's actually incredibly useful when it comes to getting pass automated defenses.

--> '''The Bowler:''' Maybe you should put some shorts on or something, if you want to keep fighting evil today.

* AdaptationNameChange: His name was Stan in the Comics. In the movie, it's Eddie.

** When the Furriers's clothes start shrinking and [[{{Fanservice}} showing off a lot of skin]] He looks away.
