History Characters / Red2010

* ButtMonkey: Downplayed. While he did have a [[EstablishingCharacterMoment badass introduction]], for the rest of the film not much seemed to go in his favour. His first attempt to track down Frank's location ended up having his personal plane stolen by his target. He failed on his first two attempts to kill Frank, while his third attempt led to [[spoiler:an [[EnemyMine with Frank to stop a bigger crisis]]. To top off the insult, Frank ended up blowing up his plane in order to kill the BigBad, much to his chagrin]].
