* EvilCounterpart: Provides one to pretty much the entire crew.
** Like Searle, he’s heavily obsessed with the sun to the point where his sunbathing burns him, but while Searle only lets his obsession get him a few sunburns (and is probably a coping mechanism for Kaneda’s death)
** As the sun-obsessed captain of Icarus I, he’s also one to Kaneda. But Kaneda very quickly realizes Pinbacker is insane from watching a mere recording of him, and he selflessly gives his life to repair the Icarus II’s heat shield, whereas Pinbacker is heavily implied to have cooked his own crew with the full might of the sun.
** Like Corazon, he is obsessed with nature-her plants, and him, the Sun. In fact, this is what kills her, as he corners her in the ruins of the Oxygen Lab because she was too focused on one surviving sapling.
** Like Harvey, he appears skilled enough with communications that he was able to continue broadcasting the distress tone, with this intriguing Harvey enough that it drew the Icarus II in.
** Unlike Mace, he’s never shown piloting the ship-but he shares the capacity to do what they must for their goals, and both are willing to kill Trey.
** He shares his religious and mechanical knowledge with Capa and Trey’s physics and mathematical knowledge respectively.

* CharacterDevelopment: While in theory he already understood the importance of Capa for the mission, after volunteering him on the spacewalk, he seems to genuinely reconsider after Kaneda dies to fully seal their heat shield, and Capa is ''very'' close to dying thanks to the detonation of Icarus 1's airlock.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While he's very clearly nuts and outright murderous, the ''degree'' is ambiguous-did he murder Trey and the Icarus I crew, or did they actually commit suicide?
** Trey was clearly hidden, but whether this was to prevent other crew members from finding him before he commit suicide, or
** The Icarus I crew is in the prayer position. Had they too gone insane and decided to die praying to their new "god," the Sun, or did Pinbacker murder them with the immense heat, causing their bodies to retract into the prayer position after death? He very clearly had

* Foreshadowing: The very first hint we get of his existence is that despite having to have been open to roast Icarus I's crew to death, ''somebody'' closed the observatory shield again, allowing the Icarus II crew to find their bodies rather than be roasted to death themselves.

** He also takes the revelation that he'll have to fire the airlock open with no protection in complete stride.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: While Mace, Capa, and Harvey suit up, either in the spacesuit or in makeshift insulation, he can be seen ''not'' doing that, foreshadowing that he's realized one of them will have to sacrifice themselves to get Capa back, and thus be able to finish their mission.

Added DiffLines:
* TheGenericGuy: Doesn't really have much of a personality until his DirtyCoward moment.
Added DiffLines:
* NumberTwoForBrains: Comes off as one of the crew members ''least'' suited for command. He's rather passive and moody and prone to becoming aggressive and self-pitying, as well as making emotionally-driven irrational decisions. He's a far cry from the cool, authoritative and self-sacrificial Kaneda.
Added DiffLines:
* NothingIsScarier: The camera avoids lingering on him for very long, and when it does there's usual a distortion effect.
Added DiffLines:
* UncertainDoom: Well, definitely ''doomed'', but the exact instance of his death happens off-screen and it's unclear if he outlives Capa to become his proclaimed "last man".
