Line #294 Characters/BobandGeorge


1	This is a list of characters and related tropes in the influential webcomic, ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge''. Unmarked spoilers ahead.
2
3	[[foldercontrol]]
4
5	!! Main characters
6
7	[[folder:Mega Man]]
8
9	The main character before the introduction of Bob and George. A robot created by Dr. Light to be his lab assistant. While not fighting Robot Masters, he is an idiot, as per his secondary function. When carrying out his primary function to fight Robot Masters, he is cunning and intelligent.
10
11	* AdaptationalDumbass: While the canon Mega Man could be naive, here he's an idiot [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass unless he's fighting Robot Masters]].
12	* AchievementsInIgnorance: Usually in that he survives things he shouldn't because he's too dumb to realize he shouldn't.
13	* ArmCannon
14	* ContractualImmortality: Before the introduction of Bob and George.
15	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's deadly when fighting Robot Masters. When he's not, he's an idiot. He's programmed that way.
16	* DeadpanSnarker: Only in the video game adaptions though due to his primary programming.
17	* ExactWords: His primary purpose is to fight Robot Masters. His secondary purpose is to be an idiot, and in that order. When he's fighting Masters, he's cunning and ruthless. When not, he's a total moron.
18	* IndyPloy: Some of his weapons.
19	* PowerCopying: Obviously, given that he was the former {{Trope Namer\|s}}. Though he uses it more creatively than in the games.
20	* TooDumbToLive: Inverted; He actually seems to be ''too dumb to be killed''.
21	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ice cream
22	* WeaksauceWeakness: He's apparently very lactose intolerant, which is the real reason he's always throwing up in the party comics- eating too much ice cream. Of course he's also too stupid to realize that, so he keeps eating it anyway.
23	[[/folder]]
24
25
26	[[folder:Proto Man]]
27	Mega Man's older brother and the prototype Robot Master. In contrast to Mega Man's stupidity, Proto Man is more or less this comic's version of Franchise/{{Batman}}.
28
29	* ArmCannon
30	* CoolShades
31	* CrazyPrepared: His contingency plans for the final battle up to least "Plan R".
32	* DeadpanSnarker: Usually towards Mega Man.
33	* GenreSavvy: He ''reads the comic'' so he knows what to do next.
34	* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: They provide enhanced vision. And they look cool.
35	* ICallItVera: Calls it his "baby".
36	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Uses his Proto Shield to deflect just about anything.
37	* OnlySaneMan: One of the most rational and competent members of the regular cast.
38	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Played with; it's not known if any of the robotic characters from the ''Classic'' series made it to the ''X'' series, Proto Man [[SecretlyDying has a limited lifespan]] in canon and his time is limited. Here, he's ironically the only known Robot Master (except Auto) known to make it to the X series.
39	* SoleSurvivor: The only survivor of the Cataclysm (also Auto), existing in the X series. [[spoiler:Though the Epilogue might change the "sole" part]].
40	[[/folder]]
41
42
43	[[folder:The Author]]
44	[[quoteright:145:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bob_and_george_author.png]]
45	The Author of the comic. An all-powerful being who directly interacts with the characters on many occasions.
46
47	* AuthorAvatar: It's in his name.
48	* AuthorGuestSpot: It's what his character was ''supposed'' to be, then things took off.
49	* PaletteSwap: A purple, helmetless recolor of Mega Man. He thinks the helmet would make him look like a moron.
50	* PhysicalGod: He is the owner of the comic and later in the comic, Bob even refers to him as "the local god".
51	* RealityWarper: Comes with the territory of being an omniscient creator of the world.
52	* RestartTheWorld: After his showdown with the Helmeted Author didn't go as planned. They decided on to just use their powers together in unison at each other which destroys the comic and sends George and Proto Man to Chick Bot and Rick O' Shay's comics.
53	* WeirdnessMagnet: His mere presence creates the strip's absurd humor. When he leaves, life returns to normal.
54	[[/folder]]
55
56	[[folder:George]]
57	A superhero from the hand-drawn comic world. He has Lightning powers and crippling self-esteem issues. Trapped in the Mega Man universe as part of a ploy to trap Bob there instead. Makes friends with the cast and lives at Dr Light's lab. The entire arc of the comic gives him CharacterDevelopment, in contrast to the most other characters.
58
59	* AscendedFanboy: Grew up playing the ''Mega Man'' games in his home dimension.
60	* BatmanGrabsAGun: It takes the whole comic, but George eventually realizes that shooting Bob with his until-then-unused ArmCannon is the only way left to stop him. The other reason being he [[TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket is the only person who can't figure out how to activate it]].
61	%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Others not liking ice cream. He learns to hate the mere mention of time travel due to various traumas he goes through because of it.
62	%% * CainAndAbel: The older Abel to Bob's Cain.
63	* CodeName: Blitz. Earlier it was "Spark" but he doesn't like that name as much.
64	* ContractualImmortality: Being a [[InvokedTrope title character]], he uses this trope to avoid dying. And while DeathIsCheap in the strip, other characters get revived while he technically never dies
65	* DeadpanSnarker: He gets really good at this during the events of the comic.
66	* DistressedDude: Captured several times.
67	* ForgotICouldFly: Hangs from Dr Wily's ceiling for months because he forgot he could just use his powers to escape.
68	* HalfHumanHybrid: His mother is a succubus. ''Her'' father [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/040723c is]] {{Satan}}.
69	** DivineParentage
70	* LightningCanDoAnything: He gets more and creative with his powers as time goes on, even managing to [[RideTheLightning teleport using them]] in a manner just as effective as Dr. Light's robots.
71	* MrViceGuy: Generally a NiceGuy, but he can be rather lazy. He loses this as the strip goes on.
72	* ShockAndAwe: He also uses his powers to attack.
73	** ChainLightning: Used by the time of The Attack of Non-Alternate Mynd, he is able to destroy entire armies of mooks by himself.
74	* MundaneUtility: Implied given that the end of the comic has him become an electrical engineer (where he could utilize his manipulation or at least knowledge of electricity) [[spoiler: or he would've anyway had it not been for the twist.]]
75	* NiceGuy: Albeit a little dim sometimes and very snarky.
76	* OneManArmy: Is notable for being one of the only people who can reliably destroy [[ConservationOfNinjutsu entire armies of ninjas]] singlehandedly.
77	* OutsideContextProblem: Aside from the fact that he's a human with superpowers, he's a ''mystical'' human with superpowers. [[spoiler: It's clarified that he's the grandson of the Devil and his mother is a succubus.]] His nature as a mystically powered being of pure lightning has been a key factor in beating multiple threats, such as Bob and X.
78	* PaletteSwap: A light-blue and gray recolor of The Author with blonde hair. Which itself is a recolor of Mega Man sans helmet.
79	* PlotArmor: [[InvokedTrope Invokes]] this on several occasion, sure a contrived PlotDevice will save him.
80	* SpikyHair: What tends to happen when he uses his powers.
81	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch
82	-->It's called the conservation of energy, bitch!
83	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:The reason why he and Bob became characters in the comic due to his mother's BatmanGambit. It works out magnificently.]]
84	** To clarify, when George first appeared in the comic, he wasn't very useful in combat since he couldn't use his suit's blaster. Then he revealed his lightning powers and gradually became one of the most powerful characters in the comic by taking down the Helmeted Author before he assumed his true form, took out N.A.Mynd by fusing with Chadling, stopped X's assimilating everyone and foiled Bob's plans to wipe out the entire comic's universe. This ended with George finally being able to use his blaster and almost used it to kill Bob to stop him for good as a last resort.
85	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ice Cream.
86	* VillainousLineage: Has a rather nasty case of this along with Bob- their grandfather is the Devil, and their mother is a Succubus. However, George has never struggled with morality to the degree this trope implies- the worst he'll do is be tempted towards mildly jerkish behavior, like not wanting to rescue Mike from Non-Alternate Mynd, which is ultimately less "Struggling against my dark family nature," and more him being lazy and a bit of an ass at times.
87	[[/folder]]
88
89	[[folder:Bob]]
90	George's younger brother. He was an aspiring supervillian in his home dimension. He initially tries to continue that in the comic, but eventually gets fed up and retires to Acapulco. Until the Author pulls him back in. [[RageAgainstTheAuthor He doesn't take that very well]].
91
92	* AboveGoodAndEvil: Bob claims he and George are this. George doesn't agree.
93	* AbsurdPhobia: He's absolutely terrified of Pokemon.
94	* AntiHero: When he's not the ArcVillain, he's usually a NominalHero due to villains inconveniencing him or SociopathicHero during his time in the Rockman Universe.
95	* ArmCannon: The most powerful one shown. He only charges it once. It blows up a fortress. Its regular setting is enough to defeat most foes instantly. It becomes damaged beyond repair when he accidentally causes the Cataclysm in the Rock Man Universe.
96	%% * Big Bad: Ultimately he's the final foe.
97	%% * BurningWithAnger
98	* CainAndAbel: The younger Cain to George's Abel.
99	* CardCarryingVillain: Bob's a supervillain and damn proud of it. He ends up causing the events of ''Mega Man 6'' and ends up as the last ArcVillain when George calls him "not that bad a guy".
100	* CodeName: Napalm. He briefly changes it to [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Volcanus]] at one point.
101	* ContractualImmortality: Same deal as George, and he uses this against Mega Man in their first encounter.
102	* CoolShades: As a recolor of Proto Man, he has these.
103	%% * Deadpan Snarker
104	* DeflectorShields: His "plastic wrap shielding".
105	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: It takes an insult about his mother to distract him during one battle. The commentary even notes that this is slightly odd given that she's a Succubus, a sex demon.
106	* FieryRedhead: [[ElementalHairColors Literally.]]
107	* FinalBoss: For the comic.
108	* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: The same as Proto Man's. He uses them to adjust his visual frequency at one point to see a hologram of Mega Man who is yelling at George.
109	* GoodAngelBadAngel: He has them, and they claim his mother sent them.
110	* HalfHumanHybrid: His mother is a succubus. ''Her'' father [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/040723c is]] {{Satan}}.
111	** DivineParentage
112	* HeelFaceDoorSlam: He initially decided to chill and be an AntiHero in the Rockman Universe, partly because he actually likes it there, until Alternate Mega Man and Bass [[NiceJobBreakingItHero intervene and cause an alternate Cataclysm]]. He ends up becoming the BigBad of the Fifth Megaman Game, and when he initially is content to chill again in a Demiplane until he gets pulled back and becomes the villain again. His RageAgainstTheAuthor is primarily fueled by the Author not leaving him alone.
113	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Starts as a straight supervillain, but shifts from AntiHero to VillainProtagonist across the series. He would've stayed as such [[spoiler:which would've eventually gotten him killed, but ultimately avoided this with a last-minute twist.]]
114	* IWorkAlone: He gives as a reason not to join Mynd. Averted in the final story, when he's got three minions working directly under him, each of which has their own army. He also drags Dr. Wily along in his schemes at least twice.
115	* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk with a Heart of Bronze]]: He's an egocentric prick out for himself, but he does care about his big brother George and has bailed him out of trouble quite a few times with no ulterior motives.
116	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He rarely uses it, but it is there. He can also use a fire shield.
117	* OtherMeAnnoysMe: He's a little freaked out by his [[CampGay flamboyant]] MirrorUniverse self.
118	* PaletteSwap: A grey and black Proto Man recolor, justified due to Bob's outfit being scorched black by Protoman during his introduction. He loses the helmet in the final story arc.
119	* ParodySue: Admits [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060224 to being the Mary Sue of the comic]], being cooler, smarter and more powerful than almost any other character. Unfortunately for him he's the straight man in a GagSeries and inevitably finds himself the butt of jokes/flustered by the inherent wackiness of the series.
120	* PersonalityPowers: The FieryRedhead happens to be a pyromancer.
121	* PlayingWithFire: His overall power. In the later half of the comic, he mostly just shoots fire out of his hands.
122	* PsychopathicManchild: Has shades of this at times. His becoming the FinalBoss/BigBad is basically him throwing a massive tantrum against The Author.
123	* RageAgainstTheAuthor: Becomes increasingly enraged by the Author's interference, and his progressing to BigBad in the last arc is because he just won't leave him alone.
124	* [[TomTheDarkLord Bob the Dark Lord]]: His supervillain persona is called Napalm, but everyone calls him Bob anyway. Doesn't make him less terrifying though.
125	* TookALevelInBadass: Went from an incredibly powerful AntiHero / VillainProtagonist to the BigBad of the entire comic.
126	* TookALevelInKindness: Subverted. [[spoiler: Turns out this is more or less the secondary reason why he and George became characters in the comic due to his mother's BatmanGambit, the primary for George to [[TookALevelInBadass toughen up in the event Bob would cross the line.]] Their mother hoped that if Bob realized that George would be willing to make the penultimate sacrifce in killing him, that it would've straighted him out. Needless to say, it didn't work as he would've continued being a supervillain before being killed during a battle with Delta Flight (but didn't happen due to a last minute twist.)]]
127	** Played straight when he went to the Rockman Universe- he genuinely enjoyed it there, had friends, and even had a career as an anti-hero. Unfortunately, that all went crashing down when the Alternate Megaman and Bass meddled with his blaster, creating the Cataclysm for that universe.
128	* VillainousLineage: Like George, he has one, with his grandfather being the Devil and his mother being a succubus. Unlike George, he fully embraces his dark side.
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	!! Secondary characters
132
133	[[folder:Bass]]
134	A robot built by Dr. Wily to defeat Mega Man. He spends most of his time at Dr. Light's lab hanging out with him instead.
135
136	* AdaptationalDumbass: Even more than Mega Man, who at least [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass is clever when dealing with Robot Masters]]. Turns out that it's not his fault, exactly- he was competent during Megaman 7 and in 6 he shows no sign of his future stupidity. However, during the comic's finale, George's attempts to save the Past Author fried his brain when he passed Bass by.
137	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Technically serving Dr Wily, but he and Mega Man are friendly instead of being arch-rivals here.
138	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Built to be this to Mega Man in every way. [[GoneHorriblyRight Including stupidity]].
139	* ArmCannon
140	* CloudCuckooLander
141	* CombiningMecha: With Treble.
142	* TheDitz: Even more so then Mega Man ever was.
143	* DumbassHasAPoint: Whenever Wily has a crazy scheme, Bass of all people is the one who [[StatingTheSimpleSolution states the simple solution]] and points out how convoluted it is.
144	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[TookALevelInDumbass He wasn't always an idiot]], which is carried over to [[EarlyBirdCameo his appearance]] in the Mega Man 6 retelling. It's revealed that his processor got fried by George's passing early in the comic.
145	* GoKartingWithBowser: Whenever he's not fighting Mega Man, he usually hangs out with him and the two try to find something stupid to go do.
146	* GoneHorriblyRight: Wily created him to be better than Mega Man in every way. Unfortunately that included [[TheDitz a lack of intelligence]], though this was retconned.
147	* ShipTease: With Roll.
148	* SmartBall: As stupid as he is, he does have his moments. [[DumbassHasAPoint Mainly criticizing Wily]].
149	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He's the one that stole the plans for X from Doctor Light, which were turned into the plans for Zero, who caused the Cataclysm.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Mega Man X]]
153	Built as Mega Man's replacement, Dr. Light took no chances, wishing to make him the ultimate lab assistant by giving him personality traits that would make him unable to fit in with any other robot. His future self appears as part of several TimeTravel arcs.
154
155	* AGodAmI: In the present when he is activated due to a fit of angst.
156	* AllForNothing: The reason he was created was to have someone clean Doctor Light's lab... except that it turns out that Rush and Tango were already doing that. Lampshaded by Doctor Light.
157	* AmbiguouslyGay: With Zero.
158	* ArmCannon: He's a form of Mega Man, one of the Trope Codifiers.
159	* AssimilationPlot: His goal during his ArcVillain stunt; make everyone his friends with this, whether they want it or not. [[OhCrap Then he gets access to humans through Mike]].
160	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Doctor Light intentionally screwed him up massively because he didn't like any of the robots living in his lab and didn't want his most powerful creation want to run off and be a vigilante. All it did was turn him into the sixth annual villain.
161	* HiveMind: He makes one during his stint as the sixth annual villain
162	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Bob rewrites his memory so he would have no memory of being a villain, yet still would have learned the lesson he gained from it.
163	* MommasBoy: Dr. Light designed him to be so socially awkward and love cleaning and menial tasks. Unfortunately he doesn't have a mother.
164	* SpiritAdvisor: To George during his drug-induced hallucinations.
165	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Built to be this to Mega Man. Dr. Light introduces him to Mega Man as "your replacement".
166	* StoryBreakerPower: In the Megaman 2 storyline, he has this- his power and ability is so great, as Doctor Light's greatest creation with ultra-advanced technology and weapons possibly on par with Bob's own. To prevent this from being the case, X volunteers to stay behind and help repair Doctor Light's lab while Megaman takes down the Robot Masters, preserving history.
167	[[/folder]]
168
169	[[folder:Zero]]
170	The ultimate weapon built by Dr Wily, responsible for the Cataclysm that killed the cast of the original games. His future, heroic self appears with X in several TimeTravel arcs.
171
172	* AmbiguouslyGay: With X
173	* ArmCannon
174	* DissonantSerenity: Towards the people he kills during the Cataclysm.
175	* DudeLooksLikeALady: A RunningGag.
176	* FauxAffablyEvil: In the Cataclysm movies. Chats with Dr. Light about how he crushed Rock's skull.
177	* LaserBlade
178	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: When we first meet him, has no idea who built him or that he was responsible for the Cataclysm.
179	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Inherited Dr. Wily's habit of being eavesdropped upon.
180	[[/folder]]
181
182	[[folder:Dr Light]]
183	The creator of most of the robots and a mean drunk. His lab is the primary setting, inhabited by what he describes as "ungrateful robots" and "freeloaders". [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Mike]].
184
185	* AdaptationalJerkass: A lot surlier and easier to annoy than his NiceGuy canon self. Though given the zanier events and his alcoholism, it makes some sense.
186	* TheAlcoholic: To the point that in the Epilogue he would've died of it had Dr Cossack not invented an artificial liver.
187	* BackFromTheDead: While [[DeathIsCheap most characters have this]], he ends up being the first character revived after Proto Man accidentally shoots him.
188	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Usually drunk, was gullible about Dr Wily, but is still a genius inventor. He's the one who stops Gamma's rampage, and defeats Mynd's OneWingedAngel form.
189	* DeathByAdaptation: [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000426 Died early on]], As he does not die in the original games, [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000506 but the Author is able to fix that]].
190	** Killed by Zero in the Catyclysm films, when his real death is unknown in the canon.
191	* ImmuneToDrugs: Resistant more like it; he can drink enough to down a bull elephant while keeping some level of consciousness.
192	* {{Jerkass}}: You can't blame him though, his lab is full of freeloaders and robots who don't seem all that grateful.
193	* MrExposition
194	* NeverMyFault: Refuses to take any of the blame for when X goes on his assimilation spree.
195	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: OK maybe he's not all that heroic [[AdaptationalJerkass here]], but he designed X to not get along with characters like Mega Man to not become incompetent. This backfires when X [[AssimilationPlot figures out a way to make them get along with him]].
196	%%* ParentalFavoritism: Towards X.
197	* PetTheDog: No matter how pissed off he gets about the robots getting beat up and damaged, he always repairs them.
198	* SophisticatedAsHell: Alternates between being completely drunk and slurring his words to delivering long strings of technobabble.
199	[[/folder]]
200
201	[[folder:Roll]]
202	Mega Man's sister, a foul-mouthed little spitfire in stark contrast to her depiction in the games.
203
204	* AdaptationalJerkass: Due to her BloodKnight tendencies and swearing.
205	* ArmCannon: Unlike in the canon games, she fights alongside the rest of the cast on several occasions.
206	%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Being told to clean or stay in the kitchen.
207	%%* CoolShades: In her battle armor.
208	%%* DeadpanSnarker
209	* DistaffCounterpart: Is more or less this to Proto Man when she fights, and is definitely this in personality.
210	* GlassCannon: Implied to be this in the Cataclysm movies. She dodges Zero's shots and hits him several times, but goes down in two hits.
211	* HotBlooded: Loves violence.
212	%%* LittleMissBadass
213	* SirSwearsalot: Has the biggest potty mouth of the characters, even delivering [[PrecisionFStrike the first F-bomb]].
214	%%* ShipTease: With Mike. And a bit with Bass.
215	[[/folder]]
216
217	[[folder:Nate]]
218	Originally a Yellow Devil that attempted to kill the cast. After his defeat, Dr. Light rebuilds him with another personality and he participates in several battles in defense of his new friends.
219
220	* ArmCannon: He has one, though he rarely uses it.
221	* BlindWithoutThem: His "power crystal" is his giant pair of glasses. He's near-sighted.
222	* FusionDance: With Proto Man and Bass, to become "Protean" and "Bate", respectively. Helmut tries to force Nate to do this, but it doesn't stick.
223	* HeelFaceTurn: Started as an enemy early on but becomes an ally after his defeat.
224	* LeetSpeak: His official designation is N4-T3.
225	* TalkingWithSigns: Communicates via this.
226	* TheSpeechless: Has no mouth. During a FreakyFridayFlip, he's able to speak normally while in Mega Man's body.
227	** NoMouth
228	** Also averted when he's inside cyberspace, such as when Megaman X assimilates him or he winds up in Megaman's head.
229	** Averted again in the aftermath of the Megaman X Assimilation, since he got put in Chadling's body (which ''could'' talk).
230	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Can alternate between his "human" and Yellow Devil forms at will. He's also shown taking other forms, such as a Met Hat.
231	[[/folder]]
232
233	[[folder:Chadling]]
234	One of Mynd's minions, who can alternate between a Slash Man form and a ''Purple'' Devil form.
235	* DeadAlternateCounterpart: Non-Alternate Chadling was killed by Non-Alternate Mynd for being rebellious, [[KilledOffForReal and never shows up]] [[PosthumousCharacter outside of a flashback]].
236	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Initially he liked bananas, but shifts to being an ice cream lover like most of the characters.
237	* FusionDance: With George to become Charge. [[spoiler:And Mynd against his will.]]
238	* HeelFaceTurn: Betrays Mynd and joins the rest of the cast later, living at Doctor Light's lab.
239	* LeetSpeak: His official designation is [=C1-14D-L1N6=].
240	* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Under Mynd's control.
241	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Even when he served Mynd he wasn't much of a villain and immediately goofed around when he entered the Megaman Universe. Mynd has to use mind-control to get him to follow orders.
242	* PaletteSwap: Of Slash Man, though that character doesn't actually appear in the comic.
243	* PurpleIsPowerful: A Purple Devil who is more powerful than Nate, being able to change size and has WolverineClaws.
244	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[RunningGag Ice cream]].
245	* VoluntaryShapeShifting: Can alternate between his "human" and Purple Devil forms at will after Mynd's control is gone.
246	* WolverineClaws: Just like Slash Man
247	[[/folder]]
248
249	[[folder:Mike]]
250	Mynd's other minion. Mike is human unlike most of the cast.
251
252	* ButtMonkey: The rest of the cast gives him no respect, even when he's seriously hurt.
253	* CallingYourAttacks: He does so, though they are nonsensical.
254	* {{Cyborg}}: Dr. Light gave him robotic limbs after he's rescued. [[spoiler: This becomes a plot point during X's arc.]]
255	* DisneyDeath / NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Though he falls off a cliff and breaks his limbs, he survives by getting squirrels to bring him food.
256	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Multiple times he gets left in unfortunate situations because the rest of the cast forgets or can't be assed. Dr. Light specifically singles him out as the one member of the cast that isn't his own creation or a freeloader he lets live in his lab.
257	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Missing the lower half of his body after an attack by Helmut, which might be where his comment of being 50% robot comes from.
258	* HeelFaceTurn: After being rescued, sometime after his defeat.
259	* HighlyVisibleNinja
260	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Or using his cybernetic arms to create a shield by moving them really fast.
261	* MaliciousMisnaming: Hates being called "Ninja Ned", which is Roll's nickname for him.
262	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He accidentally gives X the ability to control human minds in addition to robotic ones, due to his cyborg implants.
263	* PaletteSwap: A red and black one of Mega Man, with Proto Man's shield.
264	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Subverted. He's an evil minion, but defects to the heroes' side once Mynd loses.
265	* ShipTease: With Roll.
266	* TokenHuman: Of the heroic fighters, he's the only human (George being a HalfHumanHybrid). Not that he's usually all that competent.
267	* WhatMeasureIsAMook: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] even after his HeelFaceTurn.
268	* MistakenIdentity: Roll unknowingly mistakes Mike for "Ninja Ned". Something [[MistakenForAnImposter Edward (The Real Ned) takes great offense to.]]
269	[[/folder]]

271	[[folder:Ran]]
272	A robot built by Kalinka, the daughter of Dr. Cossack. Built from such cheap Soviet parts that a single blow from anything kills him.
273
274	* ArmCannon: A borderline WaveMotionGun.
275	* AscendedFanboy: A meta version. The character is based on an actual person's online persona (also named Ran). Many of Ran's qualities (the character sprites, the communist bent, [[TheyKilledKennyAgain the constant death/respawn]]) derive from this persona, though Dave Anez did flesh out some of the previously unexplained details.
276	* BodyBackupDrive: Kalinka made him with this because he's so cheap it's easier to do so than giving him a tougher body.
277	* CallingYourAttacks: COSSACK BUSTER!!!
278	* ChummyCommies: Well maybe not that chummy, but he is an ally to the heroes and a proud communist.
279	* DeathIsCheap: Cheaper than ''fixing'' him, apparently.
280	* GlassCannon: Ran dies when hit by anything. His Cossack Buster is the most powerful ArmCannon in the comic.
281	* OneHitPointWonder: Dies if hit by anything. Even a strong breeze.
282	* RunningGag: His death.
283	* SpiritAdvisor: For Mega Man during his drug-induced hallucinations.
284	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Ran has a generator pod that automatically beams a new body in for him any time he dies.
285	* WeaponizedExhaust: Of a sort. His RecoilBoost is so powerful that he can be used as a cannonball. The group utilizes this to create [[SuicideAttack "Ran bombs"]] during the Month of Destruction.

289	[[folder:The Shadowy Author (Shador) - WARNING: UNMARKED SPOILERS]]
290	A mysterious Author figure in charge of the Rockman universe, as well as several others. Seems to be manipulating events to happen a certain way. In the epilogue, he's revealed to be a future version of the Author from a timeline where the Cataclysm happened and he'd done nothing to stop it.
291
292	* AlternateSelf: A version of the Author from a BadFuture where the Cataclysm happened.
293	* BigGood: The closest this comic ever gets to the trope--and in the end, he helps George stop the GreaterScopeVillain, Helmut.
294	* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite working from the shadows and keeping his motivations close to the vest, he's not a bad guy.
295	* FusionDance: The version of George we see in the end is actually fused with the Shadowy Author, the same way that Bob is fused with the Helmeted Author. The same goes for the version of the Shadowy Author we see in the last couple years of the comic.
296	* PaintingTheMedium: Unlike the other characters his speech bubbles lack a tail. When they have one it's foreshadowing that him and George are combined.
297	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: He's trying to avert the Cataclysm in this timeline. He succeeds in the end, thanks to one innocuous bit of dialogue at just the right moment.
298	* TheAtoner: The motivation behind his actions.
299	* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Despite being featured on the cast page's villain section. The Shadowy Author is not actually evil and ends up fusing with George to create a chain of events that ultimately end the comic as well as stopping Bob and saving the entire universe as a result. [[spoiler:Even though at the end, It's revealed that the entire comic was all because of George and Bob's mother and even [[LyingCreator the Author was in on it.]] ]]
300	* WalkingSpoiler: Until the Epilogue/reveal of the Cataclysm little is known beyond being "the engimatic shadowy guy"

303	!!Villains
304
305	[[folder:Dr. Wily]]
306	Dr. Light's rival and the BigBad of the Mega Man games.
307
308	* FakingAmnesia: Does this after [[spoiler:Bass]] beats him up at the end of the ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' story arc. The only person who knows the truth is X, who decides not to tell anyone for the sake of the timeline.
309	* HeelFaceTurn: To a degree. After the third game, Doctor Cossack manages to convince him to not try and take over the world anymore, and... he doesn't. The events of Mega Man 4-6 were due to events outside his control and he basically got roped into the plot. He's still ''evil'', but he's not attempting world domination anymore.
310	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's the one who creates Zero, who ultimately kills him in the setting where the Cataclysm takes place.
311	* NotMeThisTime:
312	** He wasn't actually behind the events of ''Mega Man 6'', being bullied by the real villain Bob. Unfortunately no-one believes him and he gets the blame.
313	** While he was complicit, he wasn't behind ''Mega Man 5'' either due to Bob hijacking the plot.
314	** He wasn't even responsible for Doctor Cossack's world domination attempt in 4, things just spiraled out of control with him barely being involved.
315	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Usually the butt of jokes, but he has his moments like getting the best of Bob on more than one occasion, almost killing Mega Man in ''Mega Man 6'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext and collapsing the Soviet Union]].
316	** The Maverick Virus, the primary antagonist of the Megaman X series of games, is a digital copy of his soul. He's effectively immortal.
317	* RightBehindMe: In a RunningGag, Dr. Wily has a habit of announcing his plans without noticing anyone within earshot.
318	-->'''Dr. Wily:''' God Damn It!! How many times are going to do this stupid joke?!?
319	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He's responsible for the creation of Zero, who, in this comic's continuity, goes on to create the dark future of the Megaman X games and kill all the characters [[spoiler: with the exception of the twist ending.]]
320	[[/folder]]
321
322	[[folder:Mynd]]
323	A world conqueror from another universe that Bob visits. He decides to attack the primary Mega Man universe because he's bored.
324
325	* AffablyEvil: He's usually pretty civil and polite.
326	* AlternateSelf: He's from another universe, his counterpart in the main universe is Non-Alternate Mynd (see below). Neither of them should be confused with "Alternate Mynd", who is from a third universe and [[https://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/010923c only appears in a single comic]].
327	* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's not made clear if he's a human, robot, cyborg or something else.
328	* CrazyPrepared: He read the Evil Overlord List.
329	* DimensionLord: Rules his own universe, or at least he claims. The author suggests he's either delusional or his dimension is really tiny.
330	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates ice cream, which enrages George and friends.
331	* ForTheEvulz: When Bob asks why he wants to destroy/conquer the Mega Man universe, he just says "[[ItAmusedMe every supervillain needs a hobby]]"
332	* HeelFaceTurn: In the final battle, he switches sides so he can have a proper duel with Non-Alternate Mynd.
333	* InvincibleVillain: He can take out almost any character who has appeared in the comic and is NighInvulnerable thanks to his shields. Outside of his first encounter with Bob and then Bob and George using their Ultimate Attack--and a brief moment of VillainDecay when he got bossed around by Bate[[note]]Bass merged with Nate[[/note]]--nothing has even come close to stopping or hurting him.
334	* MultiversalConqueror: Claims to rule his own universe, and plans to take over the main one.
335	* PaletteSwap: Downplayed; while his sprite is based off Sigma, he lacks the back sprites and isn't as big.
336	* ScrewYourself: According to the epliogue he and Non-Alternate Mynd see each other as such [[WorthyOpponent worthy opponents]] they go to another dimension where it's legal, and married each other.
337	* SoLastSeason: When George and Chadling merge to form Charge (in an effort to stop Mynd the way they did Non-Alternate Mynd), Mynd is able to override Chadling, breaking George's FusionDance and causing Mynd to merge with Chadling himself.
338	* VillainTeamup: [[spoiler:With Bob]]. He loses track of this [[WorthyOpponent fighting his counterpart]].
339	%%* WorthyOpponent: Non-Alternate Mynd.
340	* WrongGenreSavvy: He attacked Nate in exactly the same way that he disabled Chadling, expecting Nate to explode or go berserk, since that was his experience with demons. Unfortunately for him, all that Nate's glasses do for him at that point is correct his vision, which means that Nate just breaks down in tears.

343	[[folder:Non-Alternate Mynd]]
344	The Mynd from the universe the comic is set in, sent to kill Mike on orders from his master.
345
346	* AffablyEvil: He's usually pretty civil and polite, he repeatedly gives George and Proto Man the chance to step aside and let him kill Mike.
347	* AlternateSelf: The main universe's version of Mynd (see above). Neither version Mynd should be confused with "Alternate Mynd", who is from a third universe and [[https://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/010923c only appears in a single comic]].
348	* AmbiguouslyHuman: Less so than Mynd because he clearly bleeds, but it's not certain. And if he is human, he can sure take punishment from getting his limbs sliced off and impaled on claws.
349	* AnArmAndALeg: Gets his arms and legs chopped off for his trouble, though he gets replacements later on.
350	%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: He hates being stepped on.
351	* TheDragon: He is Ninja Ned's topmost and only competent enforcer.
352	* HeelFaceTurn: After some time in Dr Light's prison he eventually sides with the gang and fights Mynd.
353	%%* TaughtByExperience: How to take out Demons.
354	%%* ScrewYourself: See Mynd.
355	%% * Worthy Opponent: Mynd.

359
360	[[folder:Non-Alternate Mike / Edward The Destroyer (Ninja Ned)]]
361	The Mike of the main universe, except with a different name. The leader of the ninjas in the main universe and N.A.Mynd's master.
362
363	* AffablyEvil: Very straight to the point and civil.
364	* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: Far more competent than regular Mike, and Mynd is his minion rather than the other way around.
365	* BadBoss: He kills a few to keep them in line, but this stops working in the final story arc and lets George fry them.
366	* EnemyMine: He works with the heroes to regain control of his ninja forces.
367	* {{Foil}}: To his counterpart. Mike is lazy, [[ButtMonkey disrespected]], and a former minion of Mynd. Edward/Ninja Ned is competent, actually evil and his Mynd's boss.
368	* MistakenForAnImposter: Inverted. When Edward mistakes Mike, his alternate, as a imposter.
369	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Same color scheme as Mike, but an actual villain.
370
371	[[/folder]]
372
373	[[folder:Helmeted Author (Helmut)/[[spoiler:Fistandantilus]]]]
374	An Author from another dimension who the Author was forced to allow into his universe due to union rules, but with heavy restrictions. He seeks to destroy the universe.
375
376	* BigNo: When the Author inflicts a FateWorseThanDeath on him.
377	* CrazyPrepared: He sent the heroes off on a wild goose chase just incase Proto Man survived so he wouldn't have backup.
378	* DeadpanSnarker: He has the Helmeted Author segments just to show off how snarky he is.
379	* DecompositeCharacter: He began as simply the Regular author who was wearing a helmet because the comic's author couldn't get one of his sprites to look quite right, and was also in a bad mood at the time. He was "secretly" confirmed as a completely different character when he appeared at the same place as the Author during a Halloween special.
380	* GreaterScopeVillain: While Bob becomes the BigBad, the Helmeted Author is a much larger threat and had a huge part in Bob's becoming BigBad.
381	* ILied: Sort of. While he is an Author from another universe, removing the helmet doesn't kick him out of the universe like he said it would.
382	* {{Jerkass}}: Snarky like most characters, but this isn't just for humor; he's also a dick.
383	* LongHairedPrettyboy: Embodiment of this trope to the point where the Author, himself, refers to [[spoiler:[[Literature/{{Dragonlance}} Fistandantilus']]]] hair as "bishou hair".
384	* OhCrap: When George uses the Conservation of Energy against him.
385	* OmnicidalManiac: Or so he claims at first, saying he's an evil Author who's out to destroy universes and it's now the strip's turn. [[spoiler:He's also complicit in Bob trying to destroy the universe, though that's for a bet instead of omnicide]].
386	* PowerLimiter: The helmet stops him from using his full powers as an Author.
387	* PhysicalGod: Being that he is a author. He possesses god-like abilities and what seem to be dark versions of what the Author can normally do. His helmet stopped him from using his [[Franchise/{{TheMatrix}} matrix-type powers]] until it was removed by [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nate]].
388	* RestartTheWorld: After the battle with him and the Author didn't go as planned. Both of them agreed to use their powers to destroy the entire comic which forces George and Proto Man to temporarily be sent into Chick Bot and Rick O' Shay's comics.
389	* CuckoolanderCommentator: The Helmeted Author Segments. At one point, He even tortured a volunteer named Veemon and killed Cut Man. Who was placed in the demiplane with him. Funnily enough, [[ChekhovsGunman Cut Man's death leads to Helmut's escape and his role as]] TheManBehindTheMan when he fuses with Bob to further a bet he made with The Author.
