History Characters / AceLightning

* AffablyEvil: Happens on and off. Random's evil side is a psycho, but he won't attack Mark when realizes he is afraid of him, but is not a coward. Though in later episodes, he attacks Mark regardless of what he thinks.

%%* RedBaron: "The Walking Dead", as he prefers to be called.

* SadistTeacher: Mr. Cheseborough is incredibly nasty towards his students. In Episode 3, he marks student quizzes and deliberately marks a correct answer incorrectly. He becomes temporary head teacher at one point and turns the school into something out 1984.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/XMen Mystique]]. Ironically, Lady Illusion's actress would go on to voice Mystique in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. Also has traits of Catwoman.

* DropTheHammer: Or rather, drop the anvil.

* ChasteHero: Ace admits he has never flirted before, and he is a 32-year old. However, this can be justified since he is a video game character and his programming likely didn't involve romance (cutscenes from the game show Lady Illusion flirting with him quite brazenly, with Ace completely unfazed by all of it). This changes when he and Lady Illusion get up close and personal, bonding over their misplacement in the world.

* OneManArmy: Virtually unstoppable unless disabled by numerous attacks. Has been able to defeat Anvil, Dirty Rat, Lord Fear, and Ace all in quick succession, before the latter two teamed up to take him down.

** Acts as something of a PowerLimiter in the first season where he can easily flatten any other game character, and hence is courted by both sides but neither are able to hold onto him thanks to his unstable personality. Less noticeable in the last thirteen episodes where the other Lightning Knights get stronger attacks and the Evils get a new leader specifically created to dominate everyone else to come out of the game.

* BigNo: In the final episode where [[spoiler: Mark thinks Ace as been mortally wounded by Lord Fear, but it is revealed to be Lady Illusion in disguise.]]

* {{Expy}}: Mark was inspired by [[Comicbook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]].

Mark's first girlfriend and next door neighbour, Samantha is a popular girl in school and spends the first season as the female lead, but is oblivious to Mark's second life, yet pursues relentlessly to understand it. She has an on-and-off relationship with Mark and eventually [[PutOnABus moves away to a boarding school in the second season.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: His duty as a superhero and Lightning Knight aren't really needed to show he can put up a fight.

* KnightInShiningArmour: While he never dons the traditional armour, but is chivalrous, heroic, and always trying to save the day. He also uses a lance and a shield in battle, and is called a Lightning Knight.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is called the Master of Fear for a reason...

* JerkAss: He pretty much treats every other character aside from Lord Fear like dirt. He seems to particularly hate Lady Illusion and Duff.

%% Doesn't explainwhat the reaction is * Berserk Button: Sparx's very existence is this.

* ShapeShifting: Able to transform into humans and animals. Uses this to great effect, destroying Mark's relationship with Samantha, and then tricking him into giving her the Lightning Knights' Amulet pieces to kick off the endgame. [[NecessarilyEvil Though not by choice]].

%% * Berserk Button: Don't insult his weight or interrupt him when he is eating.

An [[TheUndead undead]] [[CowBoy cowboy]] introduced in the second season. A LaughablyEvil minion who can barely keep himself together, Rotgut is stupid, sensitive, and prefers to be called the "walking dead" rather than as a zombie. Develops a thing for Chuck and wants to zombify him.

%% * Berserk Button: Don't call Rotgut a zombie. He prefers to be called the walking dead.

* CowBoy: An undead one.

%% * RedBaron: "The Walking Dead", as he prefers to be called.

* [[GossipyHens Gossipy Hen]]: Enjoys a fair bit of gossip. Uses this to her advantage when she become the alpha bitch to make Mark's life miserable.

!!Mr. Cheseborough

* TheReveal: Rick's true identity was [[ForegoneConclusion somewhat obviou]] from the get-go but the trope is still pulled anyway.

%% * Berserk Button: Do NOT mess with Fiona's gnomes or her garden.

-->''Kilobyte:''' What's wrong with Fred? I like it!
* FrankensteinsMonster: Minus the sympathetic elements. But, it is his giant wasp Fred who more fits the role. Fred started off as an normal wasp that stung Kilobyte, absorbing his power and mutates into a giant, Kilobyte considering him a kindred spirit.
