History ComicBook / CodeMonkeySaveWorld

* LoserProtagonist: Surprisingly, this goes to Skullcrusher. It's obvious that much of his villainy is to impress a girl, but every attempt is met with failure.

* UnfazedEveryman: Skip the curler really only knows how to slide smooth tea kettle shape things across a slippery surface. So of course he has no problem being asked by the government to save the world, as long as it involves sliding a tea-kettle shaped bomb across a slippery asteroid.

* Vijay Dutt, better known as [[MadScientist Skull]][[EvilOverlord crusher]], the SuperVillain from "Skullcrusher Mountain" (and the main character of "The Future Soon")

* Bob the zombie office-worker from "Re: Your Brains"

* ActionGirl: Both Laura, the Robo Queen of Chiron Beta Prime, and Matilde, [[spoiler:a nine year veteran of the Army]] count.

* HopelessWithTech: Surprisingly, Skullcrusher. He knows how to move a mouse, and that's about it.
* IncompetenceInc: What Skullcrusher Industries essentially boils down to. It's a massive MegaCorp that campaigned for [[{{Squick}} dolphin burgers]] and non-biodegradeable food holders.

* MixAndMatchCritters: The Punky. Everyone other then Skullcrusher, including the normally unflappable Laura, consider it disgusting.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Of JonathanCoulton's song characters.

* AssholeVictim: Skullcrusher probably deserved [[spoiler:his base getting destroyed]]

* ActionGirl: Both Laura, the Robo Queen of Chiron Beta Prime, and Matilde, [[spoiler:A nine year veteran of the Army]] count

* IncompetenceInc: What Skullcrusher Industries essentially boils down to. It's a massive MegaCorp that campaigned for [[Squick dolphin burgers]] and non-biodegradeable food holders.
