History Characters / ShadowMan

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Besides his victims being mainly women, which all but states that he is [[HeManWomanHater a raging misogynist]], Milton makes no attempt to hide his racism during his pre-fight confrontation with Mike.

* {{Gonk}}: Whilst the limited graphics of the game don't really do anybody any favors, Avery is ugly even by the game's standards, with tiny squinting eyes, abnormally pale skin, a hunched back, a PrimalStance, and what are implied to be extremely bad teeth -- a "triangle" formation of two upper teeth and one lower tooth can be seen in his mouth during his introductory cutscene.
