| 21 | |
| 22 | The first publicly known costumed hero, who decided to don a mask out of sheer altruism. After a near-death experience during his first attempt, the resultant surgery gave him metal plates that reinforce his bones, damaged nerve endings, and a high pain threshold. While he's a beacon to other costumed heroes in the city, he's still mostly just a comic book dork. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * ActionSurvivor: In the first film, Dave is this, having zero training or experience in combat, and even after the training he gets from Mindy in the second film, he still has elements of this. |
| 26 | * AdrenalineMakeover: At the end of both films. |
| 27 | * AgeGapRomance: In the sequel, he had a fling with Night Bitch [[spoiler: and implied to be in a relationship with Mindy]]. |
| 28 | * AllergicToRoutine: Implied in the sequel. At the start, Dave's already quit being a superhero, but found day-to-day life since then monotonous, causing him to try to get Mindy to train him. This is deconstructed in that it leads to him losing several important relationships by getting back into the superhero business. The whole situation comes across as someone with PTSD who can't get back into a normal life without help. |
| 29 | * AllLovingHero: Dave finds it screwed-up that nobody cares enough to protect his fellow man, and became Kick-Ass to do something about it. [[spoiler: In Kick-Ass 2, he tries to save Chris from falling to his death, despite the fact that he arranged his father’s murder.]] |
| 30 | * TheAntiNihilist: Sees the world as a terrible place, but manages to still be a nice guy and a superhero just out of his love for his fellow man. |
| 31 | * AscendedFanboy: A comic book reader who becomes a costumed hero. |
| 32 | * BadassAdorable: At the end of the day, Dave is still a lovable geek. |
| 33 | * BattleCouple: With Night Bitch in the sequel [[spoiler: until before the FinalBattle. Seems to have formed one with Mindy by the end of it]]. |
| 34 | * BigDamnHeroes: Happens twice in the first film. First, he [[spoiler: saves Hit-Girl from being blown up by a bazooka by killing a bunch of Frank D'Amico's goons with mini-guns attached to the jetpack he was using.]]He then later manages to save [[spoiler: Hit-Girl]] from being [[spoiler: killed by Frank D'Amico]] by shooting [[spoiler: Frank]] with a bazooka. |
| 35 | * BloodSplatteredInnocents: Reconstructed near the end of the first film. Seeing his wounds after [[spoiler: his and Big Daddy's torture]] somehow makes him have a HeroicResolve instead of being traumatized or running away. |
| 36 | * TheCape: Although he does not actually wear a cape, he is a very public hero who has inspired thousands to stand up for what's right. |
| 37 | * ClassicalAntiHero: Only in the first film up until the final battle. As for the most part, Dave is just a regular comic book nerd and NiceGuy who wants to help people out, instead of staying on the sidelines. Unfortunately, his loser qualities and inexperience puts him here, before he finally gets better in the final battle. |
| 38 | * CombatPragmatist: He can fight ''very'' dirty at times. The most memorable examples are [[spoiler: killing Frank D'Amico with a bazooka and fighting The Motherfucker in a Kevlar vest.]] |
| 39 | * CoolHelmet: Gets one by the end of ''Kick-Ass 2''. |
| 40 | * DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:He comes dangerously close to crossing it after his father is murdered. Hit-Girl snaps him out of it and encourages him to use it as motivation to continue working as a superhero]]. |
| 41 | * {{Determinator}}: This quality makes him famous; the video that introduced the world to Kick-Ass shows him getting continuously beaten down by a group of guys, but he always gets back up. |
| 42 | * DisabilitySuperpower: His damaged nerve endings, along with the metal plates that reinforce his bones, give him an increased tolerance to pain. |
| 43 | * DorkKnight: Is a comic book geek who became a costumed superhero out of altruism, and is a genuinely nice guy. |
| 44 | * DualWielding: When in his Kick-Ass costume, he uses two batons wrapped with green electrical tape. |
| 45 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/SpiderMan, and in regards to his fighting style, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}. |
| 46 | * FanservicePack: Gains a HeroicBuild in the second film. [[DistractedByTheSexy Mindy]] wasted no time in getting a FemaleGaze. |
| 47 | * TheGlassesGottaGo: Whenever he dons his costume. |
| 48 | * GoodIsNotSoft: NiceGuy he may be, but Kick-Ass is willing to put down the worst kind of criminals permanently if necessary. Best shown at the end of the first film when using the minigun. |
| 49 | * GoodSamaritan: Become a costumed hero simply to help others out. |
| 50 | * HandicappedBadass: Downplayed, but this is his "superpower." After getting hit with a car, he had metal plates put in several parts of his body to reinforce the damaged bones. Combined with some permanent nerve damage, he has increased endurance and tolerance for pain. |
| 51 | * HeroicBuild: In ''Kick-Ass 2'', due to Hit Girl training him. |
| 52 | %%* IJustWantToBeBadass |
| 53 | * IdealHero: Downplayed in the second film. Dave's not perfect, as his lack of combat expertise and experience often bites him in the ass. But out of all the heroes in both films, he's the one who consistently remains the least shady and noble of them all. |
| 54 | * TheIdealist: And rather incredibly, refuses to become a KnightInSourArmor in spite of all the harsh realities of life he is exposed to. His biggest motivation for becoming a superhero was to help people out first and foremost, not hurt people, in contrast to Hit-Girl and Big Daddy. |
| 55 | * InSeriesNickname: Big Daddy occasionally calls him "Ass Kick" after watching the video on the Internet of Kick-Ass getting beaten up by four thugs. |
| 56 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: To Mindy. He's nerdy and sweet, while she's brutal and foul-mouthed. |
| 57 | * MemeticBadass: An in-universe example. Even though the video clip clearly shows him being terrible at being a superhero, because he refuses to give up the fight, he becomes so popular on Website/YouTube that he inspires a comic based on himself as a legitimate superhero along the lines of ComicBook/GreenArrow or Franchise/{{Batman}}. |
| 58 | * MessyHair: Has quite the "Jewfro". |
| 59 | * MistakenForGay: Although, it works out ''much'' better for Dave in the film than in the comic. |
| 60 | * MrFanservice: In ''Kick-Ass 2'', you get to see him shirtless with a heavily muscled physique a few times. |
| 61 | * NerdActionHero: A geek who becomes a hero. |
| 62 | * NerdsAreSexy: In the second film thanks to the aforementioned FanservicePack. |
| 63 | * NiceGuy: He's very kind-hearted, and became a hero to protect others. |
| 64 | * NotAfraidToDie: Played straight for the most part. Subverted when kidnapped in the first film, as his reason for not being afraid previously being due to not having anything worth living for, but now he's with Katie. |
| 65 | * TheParagon: He inspired legions of like-minded heroes. Most of them just do simple community service like picking up trash, but it's still improving the city. |
| 66 | * ParentalAbandonment: His mother died of an aneurysm some time before the start of the story. [[spoiler:And in ''Kick-Ass 2'', Chris D'Amico has his father murdered, [[KickTheDog and texts Dave a photo of his bloody corpse]].]] |
| 67 | * ProtagonistTitle: Duh! |
| 68 | * SaveTheVillain: Surprisingly attempts to do so with [[spoiler: Chris]] in the sequel despite him having [[spoiler: killed Dave's father]]. |
| 69 | * StoneWall: Mainly in the first film. While his offensive skills are rather pathetic, he has very high tolerance for pain thanks to his metal plates and fucked up nerve endings. He becomes more of a JackOfAllStats in the sequel. |
| 70 | * SuperZeroes: Though he eventually mans up and saves the day. |
| 71 | * SupportingProtagonist: In the first film. Despite being the main character, the plot with D'Amico is more in-line with Big Daddy and Hit Girl's story arc. He also serves more like Hit Girl/Mindy's OlderSidekick in the final battle. |
| 72 | * TakingUpTheMantle: [[spoiler: Wears Big Daddy's armor at the climax of ''Kick-Ass 2'', and by the end of the film, also inherits Hit-Girl's base]]. |
| 73 | * ThisLoserIsYou: A geeky high-school student with a crush on a popular girl who wants to be special; the movie knows its audience. The loser part is slowly inverted over the course of the two films as he TookALevelInBadass and gains a group of TrueCompanions. |
| 74 | * TookALevelInBadass: |
| 75 | ** He is much better in the finale of the first movie, where he uses ''a jetpack'' to block almost all [[spoiler:Chris's]] attacks, while previously he just swings his batons around, hoping that thugs will run into them. He also manages to kill [[spoiler: Frank D'Amico]] with a bazooka. |
| 76 | ** Takes a bigger one in ''Kick-Ass 2'', thanks to Hit Girl training him. [[spoiler:The ending also foreshadows that he also updated his Kick-Ass attire akin to ''Iron Man''.]] |
| 77 | * VigilanteMan: Becomes a costumed vigilante just because of his love of his fellow man and because he thought it'd be cool. |
| 78 | * YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:In the sequel, towards the end]]. |

| 87 | |
| 88 | Daughter of Damon [=McCready=], raised by her father to fight criminals in general and Frank D'Amico specifically. Both the youngest and most brutal costumed hero. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | ---- |
| 91 | * ActionGirl: Particularly impressive owing to her age. |
| 92 | * AffablyEvil: Mindy is rather easy to get along with, being a ruthless, trigger-happy killer notwithstanding. |
| 93 | * AgeGapRomance: [[spoiler: The end of the sequel implies that she's in a relationship with Dave.]] |
| 94 | * AgeLift: In the comics, she's 10 in ''Kick-Ass 1'' and 12 in ''2.'' The respective films age her up to 12 and 15. |
| 95 | * AlliterativeName: Mindy [=McCready=]. |
| 96 | * AntiHero: Is nice to most people in general, but to criminals, she has little to no problem killing or torturing them in brutal ways. |
| 97 | * BadassAdorable: Both adorable ''and'' terrifying. |
| 98 | * BadassBiker: Owns and rides a purple Ducati motorcycle in ''Kick-Ass 2''. |
| 99 | * BattleCouple: [[spoiler: Seems to have formed one with Dave by the end of ''Kick-Ass 2'']]. |
| 100 | * BigDamnHeroes: Happened four times. Once [[spoiler:when Kick-Ass is about to be sliced open by Rasul, and again when he and Big Daddy are going to be set ablaze by Frank D'Amico's men]]. The other two times happen in ''Kick-Ass 2'', first when Dave is about to be killed by four thugs in an alleyway, and again when [[spoiler: Dave is kidnapped during his father's funeral and about to be killed by Genghis Carnage.]] |
| 101 | * BreakoutCharacter: She seems to be the most popular character of the movie. Playing her is even her actress's StarMakingRole. |
| 102 | * {{Byronic Hero}}ine: Has a strong passion to punish, as well as kill, criminals wherever she goes, and has been raised to do so since she was a young child. However, due to this, she lost out on her childhood and has many psychological issues. |
| 103 | * {{Child Soldier|s}}: Courtesy of her father training her. |
| 104 | * CombatPragmatist: ''Exclusively trained as such'' by Big Daddy, likely to compensate for her lack of size. Every bit of her costume is layered with kevlar [[ChekhovsGun and a low-profile bulletproof vest]], she wears steel-toed boots and brass knuckles to give her blows stopping power, ''and'' she's a crackshot (though not quite as good as Big Daddy). Has no problem with low blows and [[spoiler: using glass shards to kill people]]. |
| 105 | * CuteAndPsycho: She enjoys slaughtering thugs with a ''little'' too much childish joy, due to Big Daddy making their brutal vigilantism "a game." By the second movie, Kick-Ass has rubbed off on her a little, and she's no longer nearly so kill-happy (indeed, she only kills when she has no other options) and takes her job ''very'' seriously. |
| 106 | * CuteBruiser: She's pretty young in both films. |
| 107 | * DanceBattler: A bit literal. She tries out for the dance team by fighting imaginary enemies. |
| 108 | -->'''Mindy:''' Four guys, with knives... no escape. |
| 109 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her mother died giving childbirth due to a drug overdose, she was raised since she was a young girl to be a vigilante killing machine, and her [[spoiler: father was burned to death]] when she was just 12 years old. |
| 110 | * DeadpanSnarker: Her response to getting told to put a dollar in the swear jar is that they need a bigger jar. |
| 111 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Mostly in the sequel. |
| 112 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She's dismissive towards Dave for much of the first movie, but reconsiders her views on him after he assists her at multiple points during the fight against Frank D'Amico. |
| 113 | * DisproportionateRetribution: In the sequel, her response to being pranked by Brooke. Considering she's been more than capable of easily killing people much larger than her since she was 12, Brooke and her gang got off easy. |
| 114 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Happens three times in the sequel. The first time happens when [[spoiler: Dave starts changing into pimp clothing]], the second is when she watches [[ProductPlacement Union J's "Carry You" music video]], and the third time is when [[spoiler: [[ShirtlessScene Dave takes his shirt off]] right before the climax]]. |
| 115 | * DominoMask: Part of her costume. |
| 116 | * DoubleWeapon: Uses what appears to be a double-ended glaive as her most common weapon. |
| 117 | * DualWielding: Her double-ended glaive can be detached in two parts. |
| 118 | * EnfantTerrible: Invoked by her father as part of his revenge. |
| 119 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} Damien Wayne]]. Dave/Kick-Ass actually lampshaded it in the second film, much to her dismay. |
| 120 | -->'''Dave:''' Weren't you like Big Daddy's Robin? |
| 121 | -->'''Mindy:''' No! Robin ''wishes'' he was me! |
| 122 | * ForgotICouldFly: A more realistic example. Because she wanted to live a normal life, Mindy saw herself as a normal teen girl, to the point where when she got bullied, she ran home crying rather than fight back. [[spoiler: Dave snaps her out of it though.]] |
| 123 | * FragileSpeedster: She's an absolute nightmare to fight 90% of the time, with her scenes often filmed as a MookHorrorShow... but when up against someone larger/stronger who is just as skilled as she is, her fights end up a lot less one-sided. |
| 124 | * GlassCannon: She could pass as a LightningBruiser, but she had a tendency to have her back unguarded, something Big Daddy scolded her for. Also if faced with an opponent with considerable or equal skill, she gets hit way too often despite being able to dish it out. |
| 125 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Good to innocents and fellow crime fighters, and absolutely lethal towards bad guys. |
| 126 | * GunsAkimbo: Uses a SIG Sauer P232 and a H&K USP Compact towards the end of the first film. |
| 127 | * HypercompetentSidekick: To Kick-Ass. |
| 128 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: In the sequel, she does her utmost to try and settle down because various people like Marcus express distaste at her superhero life. Unfortunately, the resident AlphaBitch ruins it all for her, while Dave encourages her to not reject who she truly is. |
| 129 | * ItGetsEasier: Pretty much the walking embodiment of this as she's able to slaughter other humans without so much as a second thought. |
| 130 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Like her father. |
| 131 | * KidsAreCruel: Just towards the criminals. |
| 132 | * KidHero: She's been a hero since she was at least 12, possibly younger. |
| 133 | * KidSidekick: To Big Daddy. By ''Kick-Ass 2'', she's a bit too old to qualify. |
| 134 | * KnightTemplar: She thinks the crusade of vengeance she's on is both a game and completely justified. |
| 135 | * LittleMissBadass: Possibly the epitome of this trope. |
| 136 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: To Dave. She's brutal and foul-mouthed while Dave's nerdy and sweet. She's the one that was a trained fighter and has constantly saved Dave's life and even trained him to be a better fighter. |
| 137 | * MasterOfDisguise: She was able to fool the Door Goon into thinking she was a lost and scared little girl. |
| 138 | * MissingMom: [[spoiler:She died]]. |
| 139 | * MookHorrorShow: Boy, howdy, is she ever. It's a rare scene when she goes up against a group of thugs and they're not ALL dead...though [[CurbstompBattle the alternative ain't much better]]. |
| 140 | * MuggingTheMonster: A couple of bullies in her new school make this mistake. |
| 141 | * TheMusketeer: She is equally comfortable in using a double-ended glaive and going GunsAkimbo. |
| 142 | * NoSocialSkills: In the second film, she tries to fit into everyday, teenage girl life, but finds that she can't do it. |
| 143 | * OneManArmy: She can carve through armies of gangbanger mooks like it was nothing. |
| 144 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Thanks to her dad's upbringing, she fights criminals in an extremely brutal fashion. |
| 145 | * ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Her mom's already dead at the start of the story. Her dad dies in front of her due to fatal injuries]]. |
| 146 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her utility belt. She also tends wear pink outfits in her civilian life. |
| 147 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Is only 5'4, but still manages to kick the asses of criminals who far larger than herself. |
| 148 | * PragmaticHero: Not above simply taking the easiest, and most brutal, option. |
| 149 | * PurpleIsPowerful: As Hit Girl, she wears a purple wig as well as a heavily purple-accented costume. |
| 150 | * SirSwearsALot: Marcus has two {{Swear Jar}}s. She's filled both of them. |
| 151 | -->'''Mindy:''' You're gonna need a bigger jar. |
| 152 | * SixthRanger: [[spoiler:Of Justice Forever towards the climax of ''Kick-Ass 2'']]. |
| 153 | * SociopathicHero: With three exceptions, she really doesn't give a shit about other human beings and has absolutely no problem with using torture, dismemberment, or murder against those she sees as enemies. This is, unfortunately how she was raised. At the end of the second film, she acknowledges that there's no way she can have a normal life because she thinks of herself as Hit Girl, the bloodthirsty vigilante, and not Mindy [=McCready=], the teenager in High School. |
| 154 | * {{Tomboy}}: Seems to have little to no interest in what girls her age are interested in [[spoiler:except for boys, in ''Kick-Ass 2'']], and likes knives and guns. |
| 155 | * {{Tykebomb}}: Her father trained her to fight criminals in general and the D'Amico family specifically. |
| 156 | * UnscrupulousHero: She fights terrible people, but she's all too eager to resort to torture, mutilation, and murder to get the job done. |
| 157 | * UseYourHead: Headbutts Frank D'Amico during their fight at the end of the first movie. |
| 158 | * VigilanteMan: One of the first costumed heroes, and much more shameless about doing whatever is necessary to stop criminals. |
| 159 | * WeakButSkilled: Uses weapons a lot more than she uses her fists in combat, but it's {{justified}} seeing as she's only a child (albeit, a highly trained one with extensive combat experience) who fights against adult criminals. |
| 160 | * WellIntentionedExtremist : She wants to take down criminals, protect people and avenge [[spoiler:her mother and father]]. However, her methods of doing so are extremely brutal. |
| 161 | * TheWorfEffect: Realistically played straight, twice. Yes, she's a human killing machine, going through {{Mooks}} like they were nothing, but [[spoiler:during her RoaringRampageOfRevenge at the end of the film, she is almost killed when she runs out of ammo and was about to be killed by a rocket launcher [[BigDamnHeroes when Dave/Kick-Ass came out to help with the jetpack]] her and her father [[GatlingGood modified with mini-guns]]. And then, during her fight with Frank D'Amico, it was a CurbStompBattle that nearly ''killed'' her and was only lucky because Dave/Kick-Ass was able to grab the rocket launcher from before and use it to kill D'Amico. If it wasn't for Dave, she would have been dead both times]]. Also done in the sequel, where she [[spoiler:would have been killed by Mother Russia]] if it wasn't for [[spoiler: Mother Russia injecting her with adrenaline when Mother Russia thought it was poison]]. |

| 170 | |
| 171 | An ex-cop who, after being framed by Frank D'Amico for corruption, became a vigilante superhero to tear down the criminal enterprise from outside the law. He and his daughter are the real first costumed heroes, but they flew under the radar, unlike Kick-Ass. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | ---- |
| 174 | * ActionDad: Someone who trained his daughter to be an ActionGirl too. |
| 175 | * ActionHero: Is a mixture of Batman and the Punisher. |
| 176 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. While his origin as a wronged cop with a vendetta against the mob remains intact, [[spoiler:a major twist in the comic is that it's a complete lie, and he's actually a low-life comic book fan who abducted his daughter and became a vigilante just to make his life more interesting. In the film, his backstory is real.]] |
| 177 | * AdaptationalBadass: Much more hands-on than his comic counterpart. |
| 178 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Because TheReveal from the comic is AdaptedOut, the film's portrayal of Damon didn't [[spoiler:kidnap his daughter as a baby to raise as his sidekick for a selfish dangerous superhero fantasy]]. |
| 179 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. He does still have his share of unpleasant behavior but is far nicer towards Dave (and anyone for that matter) than he was in the comic. |
| 180 | * AndStarring: In the first film's OBB. |
| 181 | * AntiHero: He wants to take down [[TheDon Frank D'Amico]] by taking out his assets. Big Daddy may be good inside, but his methods push him here. |
| 182 | * BadassCape: Similar to Franchise/{{Batman}}. |
| 183 | * BigNo: When he [[spoiler:thinks Hit-Girl has been killed]]. |
| 184 | * ByronicHero: A former policeman who is haunted by his past, and fully intends to get his revenge on the cause. |
| 185 | * TheCowl: More brutal than the average costumed superhero in the "Kick-Ass" series, and is mostly active as Big Daddy at night. |
| 186 | * CrusadingWidower: [[spoiler: His wife committed suicide by overdose after he went to jail. Luckily, the doctors managed to save her baby. He became a costumed vigilante after he got released out of prison.]] |
| 187 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Being framed and sent to jail, as well as his wife's death, did not have a good effect on Damon's psyche. |
| 188 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Like the typical Franchise/{{Batman}} routine. However... |
| 189 | * DespairEventHorizon: His wife committing suicide after he was thrown in prison for five years. |
| 190 | * {{Expy}}: Of Franchise/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/ThePunisher. |
| 191 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Goes from a normal cop to a [[VigilanteMan vigilante]] murdering criminals and hunting down Frank D'Amico and his men. |
| 192 | * GoodIsNotSoft: The warehouse massacre is a good example. |
| 193 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After seeing his daughter alive, he dies from his burns with a smile on his face]]. |
| 194 | * GunNut: Has a [[WallOfWeapons room full of guns and ammunition.]] |
| 195 | * {{Guyliner}}: Puts one before donning his CoolMask. |
| 196 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As violent, deranged and merciless as he is, he's quite clear he has still a sense of morality left and he's able to distinguish his potential targets from innocent bystanders. It's also implied that once he accomplished his personal vendetta he planned on sending Mindy to school and giving her a childhood like every ordinary girl. |
| 197 | * KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:Brutally tortured and set on fire by D'Amico's men]]. |
| 198 | * KnightInSourArmor / KnightTemplarParent |
| 199 | * LargeHam: He's played by Nicolas Cage, who's AdamWesting by channeling himself ''and'' Creator/AdamWest. |
| 200 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpZcbgyFbv0 Big Daddy Kills]], a piece stunningly similar to "In the House, in a Heartbeat" from Film/TwentyEightDaysLater. It perfectly embodies Big Daddy's personality. Notably heard in the warehouse scene. [[spoiler:Interestingly, a small portion of the tune can be heard in ''Kick-Ass 2;; when Hit-Girl reminisces on him.]] |
| 201 | * LightningBruiser: He moves fast, can be very stealthy, is a crack shot, is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, and has a utility belt with explosives and flares, and who-knows-what other gadgets on it. |
| 202 | * MadArtist: An rare good-guy example. In the apartment where he and Hit Girl live, one of the walls is covered in comic-book villain style pictures of the Big Bad. Damon's obsession with vengeance is not unwarranted, as the man had framed him as a drug dealer, putting him in jail for 5 years, which drove his pregnant wife to suicide. |
| 203 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Dead by the end of the first film.]] |
| 204 | * ObiWanMoment: [[spoiler: His last moments involves reviewing to his daughter everything he had taught her regarding combat.]] |
| 205 | * PapaWolf: Is extremely protective of Mindy, even though he regularly puts her in dangerous situations. |
| 206 | * ParentsAsPeople: He does genuinely care about his daughter, and they share a close and loving relationship, but he also effectively robbed her of a childhood and raised her into becoming a foul-mouthed killing machine in his pursuit of Frank D'Amico. |
| 207 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: The reason he's become a vigilante is to pay back Frank D'Amico and his empire for framing him and driving his wife to suicide. |
| 208 | * PosthumousCharacter: After the first movie, [[spoiler: Hit Girl keeps her father's things and gear in a special Batcave like case, preserving his memory and keeps on going with the mission they had set in the first movie of protecting New York City]]. |
| 209 | * RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:His obsession with revenge prevents him from just living a normal life with his daughter. Unfortunately, he never gets to see his ArchEnemy die]]. |
| 210 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against Frank D'Amico, for framing him and causing his wife's suicide. [[spoiler:Unlike in the comics, his reasoning was genuine here]]. |
| 211 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He's killed by Frank D'Amico's men as a means of signaling the third act of the first movie.]] |
| 212 | * TragicHero: Being framed and losing his wife drove him to revenge. [[spoiler:Unlike the comic, his backstory is true.]] |
| 213 | * TheUnfettered: Torturing henchmen and turning his own daughter into a killing machine are not off the table when it comes to his one-man crusade against Frank D'Amico. |
| 214 | * UnscrupulousHero: In his only onscreen fight scene, he slices throats, uses grenades, shoots to kill with his Beretta 92FS and a Mossberg 500 he took from a mook, and finishes by setting the building on fire. |
| 215 | * VigilanteMan: Becomes the first costumed vigilante in the Kick-Ass series once he gets out of prison after he is set-up and sent to prison for drug charges and after his wife dies from a drug overdose. |
| 216 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: A rare "good" example. He regularly murders and tortures Frank D'Amico's underlings and turned his daughter into basically a ChildSoldier in his crusade, but it shouldn't be undersold that Frank D'Amico is a genuinely terrible man in most respects. |
| 217 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He used to be an honest cop who was just really good at putting away bad people. Then Frank D'Amico got him locked up on false charges, his wife committed suicide, and both he and his daughter were robbed over several years of their respective lives. Now he's hell-bent on tearing down Frank D'Amico's criminal empire. |

| 229 | |
| 230 | Son of Frank D'Amico, his overriding goal in life has always been to win his father's respect and affection. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | ---- |
| 233 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In both films he is nowhere ''near'' as despicable as his comic counterpart. |
| 234 | ** In the comic he gladly brags after being revealed as TheMole and gleefully watches as Kick-Ass is tortured, even blatantly implying that he'll pleasure himself to the thought of it. In the film he genuinely befriends Kick-Ass and even begs his father to spare him when Dave and Damon are captured. Additionally, when he and Kick-Ass come across the burning building, Chris immediately runs in to help the people trapped inside, while in the comic [[DirtyCoward Dave has to prompt him into it]]. |
| 235 | ** His actions as the Mother Fucker in the sequel are significantly toned down, and he's overall more LaughablyEvil than a genuine threat. When ambushing Colonel Stars-And-Stripes in the comic, Chris has him and his dog Eisenhower decapitated and then swaps their severed heads around as a warning to their enemies. While Stars-And-Stripes is still killed in the film, Chris is [[EvenEvilHasStandards horrified]] by the suggestion that they harm the dog at all. |
| 236 | * AdaptationNameChange: From Genovese to D'Amico. |
| 237 | * AffablyEvil: Actually seems to have been a nice kid before [[spoiler:his father's death]], and still shows shades of it once he becomes the Motherfucker as he [[spoiler:rewards Todd after Todd tells him that Dave's dad is in prison]]. |
| 238 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Loses both of his legs and his [[GroinAttack "baton"]] to his pet shark towards the end of ''Kick-Ass 2'']]. |
| 239 | * AntiVillain: Becomes one after [[spoiler:his father's death]]. |
| 240 | * ArchEnemy: To Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl, or at least [[LaughablyEvil he tries to be]]. |
| 241 | * AscendedFanboy: He's a comic book geek [[EvilCounterpart just like Dave]]. |
| 242 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler: After his uncle has Javier killed]]. |
| 243 | * BigBadWannabe: After [[spoiler: his father's death]], as he's rather incompetent, up to the point that everyone else in the Toxic Mega Cunts is a better fighter than him. However, he still manages to be a threat, as [[spoiler: he successfully has the Colonel and Dave's father murdered by Mother Russia and some thugs respectively, has Night Bitch hospitalized after he failed to rape her due to erectile disfunction, and indirectly made vigilante superheroes illegal]]. Regardless, this doesn't stop him from being LaughablyEvil. |
| 244 | * BodyHorror: [[spoiler:[[AnArmAndALeg His]] [[GroinAttack fate]] at the end of the sequel is ''not'' pleasant.]] |
| 245 | * CardCarryingVillain: As the Motherfucker. |
| 246 | %%* ChewingTheScenery: When isn't he? |
| 247 | * ColorCharacter: ''Red'' Mist. |
| 248 | * CombatPragmatist: In the final fight with Kick-Ass in ''2'', he has no qualms turning tail and retreating so that he can get the jump on Kick-Ass using a pipe. Justified since Kick-Ass is now a much better fighter and wearing Kevlar armor, so Chris simply couldn't take him in a straight fight. |
| 249 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: He becomes a villain for real after [[spoiler: his father's death]]. |
| 250 | * CreepyCrossdresser: His Motherfucker costume is made of his mother's bondage gear. |
| 251 | * CrucifiedHeroShot: {{Invoked|Trope}} despite being the villain, instead he wants to be an "evil Jesus" (with rather mixed results) making this {{inverted|Trope}} and {{subverted|Trope}}. |
| 252 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of comic book supervillains. In the end, he's just a delusional kid who thinks life is a comic book, whose only "superpower" is his money while being [[LaughablyEvil fairly incompetent]]....but [[{{Reconstruction}} still manages to be somewhat of a threat]]. While he can't quite get the handle on being a legitimately threatening presence, his actions as a supervillain are surprisingly effective. The cops are essentially all but useless to stop his schemes, and it's only due to the actions of the heroes that his plans to cause wholesale destruction are averted. |
| 253 | * DespairEventHorizon: The [[spoiler:death of Javier]] cut what few strings of sanity Chris had remaining. |
| 254 | * EunuchsAreEvil: [[spoiler: His dick gets bitten off by his pet shark at the end of ''Kick-Ass 2'']]. |
| 255 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: |
| 256 | ** He really does care about his family, though in the second film, he has developed a hatred for his mother. Javier gets included into this trope after he's introduced. |
| 257 | ** Also {{downplayed|Trope}} in regards to Kick-Ass in the first film, as it seems that Chris thinks of him as a friend. That won't stop him from wanting Kick-Ass dead in the second film, though. |
| 258 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 259 | ** After he learned that Dave is nothing in the grand scheme of things, Chris wanted him spared. Unfortunately for him, his father is adamant on having him killed to give a message to other would-be superheroes. |
| 260 | ** Also, killing a dog is going ''way'' too far. At least when he's already [[spoiler: killing its owner.]] |
| 261 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: |
| 262 | ** After being revealed as TheMole [[spoiler:and his father's death]], Chris switches to a new costume. [[spoiler:It's the same, but with a more menacing mask, the AnimeHair toned down, & the red switched to a creepy orange]]. |
| 263 | ** In the sequel he switches to an outfit composed entirely of bondage gear. Javier is rather grossed out by it. Justified due to his mom throwing away his Red Mist costume. |
| 264 | * EvilCounterpart: To Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl. |
| 265 | ** Mostly to Kick-Ass, considering that they are both inept in combat and that they are both comic geeks who lost [[spoiler: both of their parents]]. Additionally, [[spoiler:while Kick-Ass became the world's first "real" superhero, as The Motherfucker Chris decides to become the world's first supervillain.]] |
| 266 | ** To Hit-Girl in that, like Kick-Ass, in that all three of them have [[spoiler: lost their parents]], and like Hit-Girl, he [[spoiler: went on a vengeful rampage when his dad was killed.]] |
| 267 | * EvilCripple: [[spoiler: In the post-credits scene of ''Kick-Ass 2'' we see him alive but without his legs or dick due to his pet shark.]] |
| 268 | * {{Expy}}: He's a LonelyRichKid, his father is the BigBad, the sequel sets up for an AvengingTheVillain story-line, and he was briefly friends with the hero. He's [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Harry Osborn]], minus the glider. |
| 269 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He fully intends to rape a girl, and his end goal is to stream the execution of Kick-Ass live [[NoKillLikeOverkill and have him fed to a shark]], and then have his gang of villains take out homemade bombs and bring as much destruction to the city as possible. |
| 270 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Much like Dave, he was once just an ordinary high-school student, his dad just happened to lead a criminal empire. [[spoiler:In the second film he made it his personal mission to become the world's first real supervillain]]. |
| 271 | * GenreSavvy: Figures out that Kick-Ass is a comic geek, and uses that to gain his trust as Red Mist. |
| 272 | * GunsAkimbo: In the sequel, he wields two of his mother's Para-Ordnance Nite-Tacs with ivory grips once he becomes the Motherfucker. Its {{subverted|Trope}} when we find out, he doesn't actually have [[GangstaStyle much skill with them]], leaving the work to his Toxic Mega Cunts or Mother Russia. |
| 273 | * HookersAndBlow: Once he becomes the Motherfucker, Chris uses some of his money to hire prostitutes and dancers. |
| 274 | * IncestSubtext: Fashions his Motherfucker costume out of his mother's bondage gear -- though his name also makes it clear. |
| 275 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. His initial attempts at villainy are probably even ''more'' ridiculous than Kick-Ass' initial attempts at superheroism. He becomes a significantly bigger threat once he [[spoiler:realizes his [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney "superpower"]] and forms his LegionOfDoom,]] though that doesn't stop him from being LaughablyEvil all the way. |
| 276 | * KickTheDog: |
| 277 | ** {{Defied|Trope}} in the sequel, where [[spoiler:Mother Russia asks if she should kill Eisenhower the dog]]. His reply is "Jesus Christ! I'm not ''that'' evil". |
| 278 | ** Played straight later when he brags about murdering [[spoiler:Stars-And-Stripes]], tries raping [[spoiler:Night Bitch]] and finally has [[spoiler:Kick-Ass' father murdered in a horribly brutal way, even for mob standards]]. |
| 279 | * LaughablyEvil: Nearly everything he does, up to and including his [[spoiler: [[AttemptedRape attempt to rape Night Bitch]]]] is played for laughs. |
| 280 | * LonelyRichKid: Due to his bodyguards, he's never been able to interact with kids his age or even make a friend. |
| 281 | * MafiaPrincess: Probably the only reason why he was taking orders. His uncle, the head of the crime family, even tells him to settle down and go off to college because he doesn't want him being in this line of work. |
| 282 | * TheMole: Only becomes a superhero to track down Kick-Ass for his father. The difference from the comic is that [[DramaticIrony the viewers know he's the mole before the heroes do]]; he discusses his plan with his father before being seen in costume. |
| 283 | * MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: In the comics, he wore an all-red costume no matter what identity he took on. Here, his Red Mist Costume has a black mask, highlights, and pants. As the Motherfucker, his costume is black and silver with a few touches of red. |
| 284 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: While he never shows any outright racist behaviour, Javier points out that some of the supervillain names he gives to the Toxic Mega Cunts are incredibly problematic, i.e. naming a Black person "Black Death", and an Asian person "Genghis Carnage". |
| 285 | * PsychopathicManchild: He is utterly convinced that life plays out like a comic book and doesn't seem to understand that his actions have real consequences. |
| 286 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Thankfully, he's too impotent to carry it out. |
| 287 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Red Mist, his outfit is primarily red with black details. [[spoiler:He swaps it out for an almost entirely black costume with red details as The Motherfucker, showing he's ''really'' gone to the dark side.]] |
| 288 | * SanitySlippage: Happens in varying stages throughout the second film, he slips completely off the edge when [[spoiler: Javier dies]]. |
| 289 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: His "superpower." |
| 290 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:By accident, although it doesn't faze him much]]. |
| 291 | * SelfServingMemory: In the second film, he seems intensely fixated on the fact that Kick-Ass [[spoiler:blew up his father with a bazooka]], even though he knew his father was a mafia boss who attempted to kill Kick-Ass, Big Daddy, and Hit-Girl, and attempted to broadcast the executions of the former two on the Internet. Even when reminded of this, [[CardCarryingVillain it just motivates him to become a supervillain]]. |
| 292 | * ShadowArchetype: To Dave "Kick-Ass" Lizewski. |
| 293 | * SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness: [[spoiler: Becomes nearly as evil as his own father in the sequel, he attempts to rape Night Bitch, brutally kills Stars And Stripes, murders Dave's father, and attempts to kill Dave and Mindy at the funeral]]. |
| 294 | * SmokingIsCool: Smokes a joint in the first film, thinking it's cool, while in the "Mist-Mobile" with Kick-Ass. Subverted in that it makes him across as a try hard and joke rather than a badass. |
| 295 | * StupidEvil: Revels in gratuitous acts of evil for their own sake, to the point even his henchmen mock him for it. Subverted, however, in that no matter how repulsive his behavior, they do not ever actually abandon him. |
| 296 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In the second film. |
| 297 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Perhaps a little foul-mouthed from the start, but it's hard to imagine the Chris from the beginning of the first movie doing all the things he ends up doing in the second. |
| 298 | * WellDoneSonGuy: His primary goal for all of his actions is to win his father's approval. |
| 299 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: For a short time before being revealed as TheMole in the first film, he and Kick-Ass seems to genuinely like and respect each other despite their differences. |
| 300 | * WouldHitAGirl: As Hit-Girl and Night Bitch can attest to. |

| 308 | |
| 309 | A powerful and violent crime boss who knows he doesn't spend enough time with his son. After framing a cop for corruption, he finds his organization under assault by a masked vigilante. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * AdaptationExpansion: His comic book equivalent, Johnny G, spends ''far'' less time in focus than Frank. |
| 312 | * AdaptationNameChange: From Johnny G to Frank D'Amico. |
| 313 | * AdaptationalOriginConnection: Part of Big Daddy's backstory is that Frank framed him and ruined his life to get him out of the way. [[spoiler:This is the truth in the films, while in the comic Johnny G doesn't have any real connection to Damon at all, and Damon only chose to target him because his superhero fantasy needed a villain.]] |
| 314 | * AdaptationalVillainy: He is significantly more sadistic and cruel than his comic counterpart was, even before Big Daddy harms his business. The fact that [[spoiler:Big Daddy's origin story is not a lie in the films]] and Chris is heavily [[AdaptationalHeroism toned down]] only serves to make Frank look even worse. |
| 315 | * AffablyEvil: Starts the movie as this, being the head of a mob family who is seen having breakfast with his family. His true colors are quickly revealed, showing him to actually be... |
| 316 | ** FauxAffablyEvil: Particularly when he thinks he's found Kick-Ass walking on the street. Frank cordially greets the costumed man before beating him to the ground and shooting him dead. However, Frank, at the time, had slipped back to cocaine for the most part. His increasing VillainousBreakdown and the fact he was doing blow, caused him to slip from affable to an evil Mafioso. |
| 317 | * ArchEnemy: To the [=McCready=]s, especially Damon/Big Daddy. |
| 318 | * BadBoss: ZigZaggingTrope. When Chris needs someone to turn in to the police to make a name for himself as Red Mist, Frank gives up one of his own men. Then again, the reason he's so angry at Hit-Girl and Big Daddy is because they killed his men. |
| 319 | * BaldOfEvil: Balding, but evil through and through. |
| 320 | * BigBad: Of the first movie. |
| 321 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His clothing and possessions have are usually orange. [[spoiler:His son takes after him as a villain, but drops the orange look completely when he becomes the Motherfucker]]. |
| 322 | * DeadpanSnarker: Some of his lines are very deadpan, such as when Joe tells him about a new microwave. |
| 323 | -->'''Frank:''' That is neat. I think you must be confusing me with someone who gives a shit about the fucking lumber! |
| 324 | * TheDon: Head of the Mafia that we see in the first film. |
| 325 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Really does love his son. |
| 326 | * KingpinInHisGym: Keeps a Wing Chun dojo in his penthouse and is a capable martial artist. |
| 327 | * KnightOfCerebus: He's the main reason why the movie has a lot of serious MoodWhiplash moments. |
| 328 | * LargeHam: He gets louder as he dives into his[[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]] during the movie. |
| 329 | * RedRightHand: The scar on his forehead, which looks like a cross between a spiral and parentheses. |
| 330 | * SirSwearsALot He says the f word constantly when talking to people. |
| 331 | * StrongAndSkilled: Frank is a tall, strong fighter with enough experience and skill to take down Hitgirl. |
| 332 | * VibrantOrange: Inverted. His signature color is orange, but he's a brutal, remorseless criminal. |
| 333 | * VillainousBreakdown: Has one increasing steadily throughout the movie. He executes someone in broad daylight, goes batshit at his henchmen and starts doing cocaine (which was implied he kicked several years before). |
| 334 | * VillainousFriendship: With his dragon, Big Joe. |
| 335 | * VillainRespect: Before he tries to kill Hitgirl he admits to her that he wishes that he had a son like her. |
| 336 | * WellDoneSonGuy: His interaction with his son is a very weak PetTheDog. |
| 337 | * WouldHitAGirl[=/=]WouldHurtAChild: He has no qualms in giving a roundhouse kick to an eleven year old girl's face and then giving her a thorough vicious beat down. Though in his defense she is also a near unstoppable killing machine who single handedly slaughtered his entire building full of mooks. |

| 362 | Frank's brother, and Chris' uncle. In prison in the second film, but still helping run the family from the inside. |
| 363 | ---- |
| 364 | * BoxedCrook: He's bribed the warden of his prison so he can talk freely, and evidently his influence extends far beyond the prison. |
| 365 | * CardCarryingVillain: "You think you're the big bad guy, huh? Let me show you what real evil looks like." |
| 366 | * CompositeCharacter: While he is named after the comics' Ralphie Genovese, and similarly helps to run the family business from inside prison, the film version of Ralph also has elements of Chris' ''other'' EvilUncle from the comic, Rocco, and is implied to fill his role as the GreaterScopeVillain of the series. |
| 367 | * TheCorrupter: Unintentional variant. He only has a minute or two of screentime, yet manages to [[spoiler:make Chris go AxCrazy, meaning he's responsible for most of the tragedy in the second half of ''Kick-Ass 2'']]. Though he does realize it was a mistake almost immediately. |
| 368 | -->'''Ralph:''' Chris, just take some time off! Go to college or something!\ |

| 371 | * EvilUncle: To Chris. |
| 372 | * FauxAffablyEvil: It evidently runs in the family. |
| 373 | * GreaterScopeVillain: While the second film revolves around Chris embarking on a violent vendetta against Kick-Ass, the D'Amico Crime Family is implied to still be at large with Ralph now at the helm, suggesting that the unproduced third film would have involved Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl facing off against them as they do in the third volume of the comic. |
| 374 | * KarmaHoudini: Despite making The Motherfucker [[spoiler:go AxCrazy]] and [[spoiler: ordering one of his thugs to kill Javier]], he never gets punished for it in the second film. |
| 375 | * PragmaticVillainy: He tries (and fails) to make [[LaughablyEvil The Motherfucker]] lie low not because he thought he was being too evil but because he thought that he was bringing too much attention to himself. |
| 376 | * SlasherSmile: A particularly creepy one. |
| 377 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He's only in the sequel for one brief scene, but it shows that [[GreaterScopeVillain he's the de facto leader of the D'Amico crime family]] to The Motherfucker's BigBadWannabe. It was primary his order to [[spoiler:execute Javier]] that motivates The Motherfucker to cross his MoralEventHorizon in the first place. |

| 474 | * LegionOfDoom: Assembled by the Motherfucker, who purposefully invokes this as he gets the toughest crooks he can and gives them costumes and villain names. |

| 793 | * BiggerIsBetterInBed: Apparently a firm believer, as [[spoiler: she taunts Dave in the sequel that the guy she is cheating on him with is much bigger and thus better.]] |
| 794 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Her sole appearance in the second film indicates she is not the NiceGirl she appears to be in the first film. |
| 795 | * DemotedToExtra: In the second film she only gets one scene and disappears for the rest of the movie. |
| 796 | * FagHag: She wishes. |

| 800 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: [[spoiler: She see Dave hanging out with Mindy and instantly assumes he's cheating on her without even giving him a chance to explain himself. It’s possible she was just projecting and looking for an excuse to dump him.]] |
| 801 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: The reason that she was largely absent from the sequel was due to the actress being busy on ''Series/{{Nikita}}''. |
| 802 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: She is every bit Dave's dream girl to the core, even to the point of [[spoiler:immediately forgiving him for pretending to be gay and having sex with him right afterward, plus having sex just about anywhere--including on a dumpster.]] She is given an occupation and her interest in comics is touched upon, but her entire character ultimately centers around being Dave's perfect girlfriend. The most important role she plays aside from that is sending Dave after Razul, which leads to him meeting other important characters. |

| 806 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In the second movie where she makes a 180 from the good-hearted person she was in the first movie to a cheating jerk. This does bring her closer to her comic counterpart but the contrast is so immense that she feels like a completely different character from the previous film. |
| 807 | * TheUnfairSex: [[spoiler: Dumps Dave in the second movie just based on an assumption rather then any clear facts. And then has the nerve to say she was cheating on him with someone else, though if she meant it or not isn't really clear.]] |

| 873 | * FalseFriend: Befriended Mindy at the beginning of the sequel and quickly ends up bullying her when she becomes a threat to her queen bee status. |
| 874 | * HateSink: She is the most dislikable character in the film, mercilessly tormenting Mindy out of pure spite. To say her comeuppance was satisfying is putting it lightly. |
| 875 | * HumiliationConga: Mindy gets back at her by making her vomit and soil herself in public ''at the same time''. |
