An 'eccentric' comic book fan with a Nice Hat who reviews horrible comics. Also happens to be the Champion of our Earth, defending it against mad scientists, cyborgs, interdimensional invaders and the like.
The Ace/Broken Ace: Seems to switch between the two quite often — He's a nice-looking hero with wonderful toys and True Companions around him... But he wants so badly to be the perfect Nice Guy superhero and to think that he's much more than his Channel Awesome co-workers. He has a fairly big ego and a Selective Memory, his number one priority seems to be whether the fans watch him or not, and his Comedic Sociopathy is far creepier than the others because whereas they embrace it, he denies it.
By the end of the Entity Arc, he's become like as a subversion of both tropes. At once. Like a subverted Ace, he's presents the image of an awesome hero but has more than a few flaws as a person. Like a subverted Broken Ace, however, he refuses to let them break him and continues to at least try and do the right thing.
Alter Ego Acting: Lovhaug has occasionally referred to "the Linkara character" in interviews and commentaries, but at the same time also calls him "basically me with the volume turned way up".
Anti-Hero: Type I, often veers towards Type III in his nastier moments.
Arch-Enemy: Dr. Insano, whose plots include becoming President and controlling a Giant Robot of death. Insano was later temporarily replaced as Linkara's arch foe by the evil robotic duplicate, Mechakara. Then we got Dr. Linksano, an alternate version of Insano that appeared in the Warrior review. So far, the only evil thing he has done is be an evil scientist. Eventually, he ran off on realizing Lord Vyce was coming, and Mechakara stepped into the role again.
Badass Boast: Linkara gets one in Silent Hill Dead/Alive, made even more awesome by being scored with The Ecstasy of Gold.
"I'm not some pretty boy with marital problems. I don't have some confused psyche or unresolved parental issues. You're not dealing with a Silent Hill protagonist here! Time and again, someone got it into their head that they could defeat me. Time and again they beat me down, they knocked me out, and they tried to make me give up. You come at me with insecurity, self-doubt, and angst? You try to make me doubt who I am? I am the man who defeated Pyramid Head. I am the man who conquered Countdown. I am the man who fought off the Vohrsoth and destroyed Mechakara! I am the liberator of Kickassia! I am a Starfleet captain! I am a Power Ranger! I'm That Guy With The Hat! I am Linkara! Who the hell are you?"
And then at the end of Youngblood #3, we have Linkara taunting Vyce
This is Linkara, calling Lord Vyce. If you are receiving this signal, then you may want to take that huge-ass helmet off you head and listen for a minute. Listen, I just wanted to tell you how deeply honored I am. You see, I was once told you were the stuff of nightmares for gods and monsters alike. And that's why I'm so honored you see. You've seen fit to show me your true colors-and the main one is a big bright shade of yellow. "All that you see you conquer", huh? Well, I guess you never really did set your eyes on me then-you were too busy looking the other way and running for your life. And it's a good thing too: you've shown just how inadequate you are. You're not up to the task of facing this... "Entity" you're so afraid of. Tell you what: why don't you go tuck your cape between your legs and run home, while I deal with it. After all, it's what you're good at. However, if you want to prove me wrong, you know where to find me.
Basement Dweller: Joked about in the Superman vs. Terminator review, where his 50-year-old self (played by his father) still has not moved into his own place.
Break the Cutie: Happens when a comic get really bad (and/or is Countdown)
Brick Joke: In Spoony's Final Fantasy X review, Dr. Insano realized that Neutro had gone missing. More than half a year later, we learn that Linkara stole it.
The Caligula: He has gradually shown signs of becoming this after defeating Lord Vyce and taking his spaceship. Along with his natural pride and difficulty in tolerating the criticism of his True Companions and Spoony in his Lady Gaga review, he's now defaulting on the spaceship to "win" arguments (because nobody would ever be stupid enough to argue with a spaceship, he's also become increasingly deluded about what it means to take responsibility for it, as shown by parading around in a Starfleet uniform and neglecting his job as an online reviewer, andhe's also planning on having a whole fleet of them. Bear in mind that he does all of this while mostly ignoring his True Companions. Time will tell whether he gets any crazier.
Chivalrous Pervert: Being a feminist gives him "an appreciation for the female body".
The Chosen One: Deconstructed. According to Lord Vyce, he is "the Champion" of his universe. Not only does this revelation change nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it also marked him out for a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown at Vyce's hands. Furthermore, it's implied that this is why the Entity left defeating Vyce in his hands; because he expected that he'd be able to defeat him.
Comedic Sociopathy: Just like the rest of his colleagues. What makes it more interesting, though, is that while the other big names like Spoony, Critic and Chick have fully embraced their nastiness, he is insistent that he is a good guy and his insanity just spills out in creepy bursts.
Crazy-Prepared: Linkara has a miniature fan to blow away the fog if Silent Hill starts to come for him.
Driven to Madness: Happens often when a comic book seems to get worse and worse, and then some final revelation pushes him over into madness. We find out in part five of Silent Hill Dead/Alive that Mechakara and Lord Vyce were trying to invoke this by providing him with the back story of his Magic Gun. The really scary thing is, it almost worked.
When Linkara reviewed "Superman At Earth's End" he was so utterly disgusted by it he almost tried to shoot himself yelling "ANTI LIFE JUSTIFIES MY HATE!!" before breaking down into tears.
At the end of his three-part Amazon Attack review, when he realizes the whole thing was a tie-in to Countdown. He was so confused that he ended up trying to cut his wrists with his gun.
Linkara: WHY DOESN'T IT WORK!?!?
Normally, Linkara plays this trope for laughs. Not so in his final Silent Hill Dead/Alive review. He finally finds out the truly depressing back story to his magic gun. Long story short, a young girl was tortured to death by her own parents to create it. Silent Hill almost manages to convince him that HE was one of her parents - and Linkara, being the good guy that he is, couldn't take it and holds the gun to his head. Thankfully, he manages to realize that he's not a Silent Hill protagonist and that he wouldn't have done such a thing. Cue subversion of this trope and a truly awesome "World of Cardboard" Speech - as seen above under Badass Boast.
Failure Is the Only Option: Invoked He's won most of his fights, sure, but Linkara has never actually managed to finish any of his enemies off. It comes with them having Joker Immunity. This is probably because he's spoken out against "superheroes" who kill their foes in the past, thus he spares his intentionally (exiling Lord Vyce for example) because he holds himself to the same standards.
The very existence of Sultry Teenage Super Foxes #2 causes him to retreat into his own subconscious.
The Pizza episode makes Linkara actually leave to cry during his history lesson on Power Rangers Turbo.
The Brain Drain comic completely missing the point of the Thing's character, and then finding that it was written by Tom DeFalco, former editor and chief of Marvel comics.
Good Is Not Soft: He may be willing to cut a deal with Linksano, but he also promised a sadistic punishment (being trapped on the same planet as Lord Vyce) to him should he ever try to double-cross him
Guile Hero / Manipulative Bastard: Depending on the tone of the review. He was definitely the former by the end of the Vyce Arc, since it took him using his brain rather than his tech to win the day.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In the Sonic Live commentary, Lewis says that Linkara is a good guy, but he's still an asshole. He specifically points out the fact that Linkara's taken to using his new spaceship to win arguments with his friends, but he would never actually blast any of them.
Laughing Mad: Subverted in the Rise of Arsenal #1 and #2 review. It looks like it at first, with a disbelieving expression melting into peals of laughter... And then it turns out he's actuallyamused.
Marty Stu: As a result of his ever-growing ego, he practically tried to invoke this in-universe during the Vyce Arc... and hoo boy did he suffer for it. By this point, he'd become so confident in his preparation, strategy and combat skills that he more or less jumped into the fight with the Big Bad with the assumption that because he held his own better against Mechakara that he'd win. Cue Vyce's Curb-Stomp Battle, in which he defeated Linkara with pretty minimal effort.
Character Development: After the Entity Arc, this attitude vanished completely. He became a lot more sensitive to his friends' feelings and observations and expressed much more compassion towards them. Even before then, humility began creeping in during the arc. Case in point, look at how panicked he becomes when he realises that the Entity has taken everybody he loves. The proud Linkara of old probably wouldn't have acted that way.
Mr. Fanservice: Between the snappy dress sense, the feminism, and a reasonably attractive face, Linkara's got a lot of female fans. And not necessarily for pure reasons.
Narcissist: When the Chick can hear the thoughts of guys she knows, all she hears from him is "I'm awesome" repeated over and over.
Pride: Was built up as quite the Fatal Flaw during the Vyce Arc, since his repeated victories and excellent tech inflated his ego quite a bit. Then in comes Vyce with a Curb-Stomp Battle. After the Vyce Arc, It Got Worse, to the extent that his girlfriend and Harvey Finevoice were both calling him out more than they used to.
He seems to be trying to lose, or at least lessen it, post-Entity Arc, however.
Self-Serving Memory: When he mentions the events of Kickassia, Linkara neglects to mention his attempt to seize control of the nation, instead claiming that he "liberated" it.
Shonen Upgrade: He is planning this for Mechakara's return, even going as far as to hire Dr. Linksano to achieve this.
Skeptic No Longer: He originally poo-pooed the idea of the Entity. Come the next story arc and he's absolutely scared s-less of it.
Talking the Monster to Death: Literally. Linkara eventually realizes that there's no way he can beat The Entity/Missingno. by brute force, so instead he does this, asking it what it plans on doing after it becomes the only thing in existence and ultimately convincing it to explore what happens when an Outer God dies.
Unfortunate Names: Was bullied at school because his last name, Lovhaug, is pronounced "love-hog".
Waxing Lyrical: Whenever the comic includes text that happens to be identical or similar to the lyrics of a song, his response is usually a continuation of the lyrics.
Allies
90s Kid
A character created by Linkara to poke fun at The Dark Age of Comic Books. An obnoxious teenage slacker who prefers blood, guns and Rob Liefeld over plot, characterization and good artwork. Also a huge fan of the Sega Genesis, the most hardcore console of all time which did what Nintendidn't.
A-Team Firing: During the Silent Hill: The Grinning Man review. Iron Liz snarks at him for it.
Dead All Along: The Entity/Missing No. has been impersonating him. The real 90's Kid got taken before the KISS Comics review.
Thankfully, he gets better.
Dead Baby Comedy : Subverted, it looks like he's about to cheer Superboy Prime for vaporizing a pregnant woman, when he actually thinks that's a horrible thing.
Disco Dan: Possibly - it's unclear whether he's actually supposed to be talking from the 90's or not. The Avengers joint review with Spoony suggests it, though.
The Ditz: To the point that he appears in Todd In The Shadows's review of "S&M" to display the intellectual capacity of the website ("What's a Rihanna?").
Lead character from Star Trek Elite Force, which Linkara did a Let's Play of. Originally an ensign in Starfleet, now promoted to lieutenant. Has so far appeared in Atop the Fourth Wall twice, a brief cameo when reality was damaged in the Micky Mantle review, and then a more substantial one at the end of Linkara's review of the Elite Force tie-in comic.
A device which starts beeping loudly and flashes its name on the top and bottom of the screen whenever Linkara starts rambling about continuity issues in a comic.
Deadpan Snarker: Will occasionally alter the "CONTINUITY ALARM" text to make smart remarks and bicker with Linkara.
Foreshadowing: It gets broken and is one of the first signs of Mechakara's meddling... or so we are led to believe. It was actually broken by Dr. Linksano.
Harvey Finevoice
Linkara's other main alter ego, a lounge singer from The Fifties with a touch of The Mafia.
The Cast Showoff: In his Anita Blake review, he skims the second issue so that he can perform a full-length song number instead.
A Day in the Limelight: When Linkara was interdimensionally abducted, he guest-hosted the show and reviewed Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter.
Disco Dan: In a subtler way than 90's Kid, but still.
Elvis Has Left The Planet: In one of the joke Multiple Endings to Linkara's Silent Hill review, Harvey is actually an alien from a planet with good comics. An interview has confirmed the two are in-fact separate characters, and Earth!Harvey wants to do a duet with Alien!Harvey.
The Heart: During and after the Vyce Arc, Harvey became a lot more supportive of Linkara's True Companions, encouraging them to keep getting up during their battle with the Big Bad. Plus, when Linkara starts naming his spaceship, Finevoice's tone implies that he thinks it should be "Vigilant", since that was the one chosen by his friends.
He Knows Too Much: The Entity gets him after he recognizes the words in the Silent Hill book.
His Name Is...: After taking a look at the Silent Hill book he comes to a realization, but runs into the Entity before he can warn Linkara.
The Nicknamer: Rarely, if ever, calls the others by their actual name. Linkara and Liz are both "Kid", 90's Kid is "the idiot", Pollo is "the robot"....
More Dakka: In the Power Rangers review, he attacks Mechakara with a tommy-gun.
Linkara's real-life father. He makes occasional cameos in Linkara's videos, including as a 50-something version of his son and Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol.
The Magic Gun
Linkara's weapon of choice partner, the Magic Gun is true to its name. It shoots lasers, and is frequently used as a tool when a comic gets so bad it drives him to suicide. Or something else does. He can also rely on it whenever he's in a fight; when he can't, you know he's in trouble. Though one wonders where he got it...
Artifact of Doom : Subverted. While it was created by sealing the tortured soul of a little girl inside it, after taking revenge on her parents the girl's spirit has become much more benevolent, protecting Linkara and treating him as a friend.
No Name Given: As of now, Linkara has no idea of what her name is.
Powered by a Forsaken Child: Was created in a ritual by sealing away a little girl's soul inside it in order to make an all powerful weapon born out of sheer rage and hatred.
Ninja Style Dancer
A ninja who likes to dance. Another Linkara character, based off the bizarre reference in Nightcat to the title character's backing dancers being described as "Ninja Style Dancers".
Informed Attribute: As with many examples of The Voiceless, other characters (in this case Harvey Finevoice) nonetheless claims he's annoyingly talkative.
According to Iron Liz, he once beat Harvey in Karaoke, so it's possible he has an even better voice than the professional lounge singer.
Leitmotif: Has made three appearances thus far accompanied by The Vengaboys' "We Like to Party"
The Voiceless: Except in Linkara's hallucinations brought on by the powers of Silent Hill.
Pollo
Pronounced "Poyo", he's Linkara's Robot Buddy and manager. He took over the show while trying to get Linkara back during the "Linkara Lost" arc. He also hates famed comics writer Garth Ennis and the A.I. Is a Crapshoot assumption about robots.
Ai Is A Crapshoot: Subverted. As stated above, he hates this, and even had Linkara do the Strange Adventures review to prove his point.
Breakout Character: Was originally just a robot puppet for Linkara's MST3K fanmovie, then a one-off gag for the Amazons Attack! review, but Linkara liked him enough for him to become a recurring character.
Brilliant, but Lazy: As shown by his fights with Linksano and Mechakara, he can be pretty crafty when he wants and is quite efficient as the show's manager... But also tries to avoid work as much as robotly possible.
Took a Level in Badass: Previously just a Drop-In Character who did really nothing at all, he now apparently manages the show and even beat Insano all by himself and managed to keep the show afloat during Linkara's absence.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Is genuinely friendly with Linkara and has saved his life more than once...and when he does, he takes every opportunity to screw Linkara over with embarrassing return favours.
Tom Servo
Yes that Tom Servo. A puppet of the robot that Lewis' brother Graham gave him for Christmas shows up several times, including when Liz and Linkara are wishing us a Merry Christmas.
Shout Out: Nimue is the real name of the Lady of the Lake from the Arthurian mythos. Linkara has previously said that Camelot is his all-time favourite film.
Unexplained Recovery: Returns with the rest of the world in Pokemon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu.
Dr. Linksano
Dr. Insano's alternate-universe counterpart. He is trying to take Insano's spot as Big Bad and designated science villain, but isn't very good at it. His latest failure led to Linkara Hiring him as his scientific adviser.
Alas, Poor Villain: The Entity attacked him at the end of The Backstreet Project #1.
Continuity Nod: He's actually Oscar Schlumper from Spoony's Party Mania review, while his brother Wayne is the Insano of their universe.
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Linkara does just this to get him to become a member of his group. In addition to offering him pay as Linkara's scientific adviser, he also explains to Linksano just how much of a hard and thankless job running the world would be if he were to actually conquer it, and gives Linksano full access to Comicron-1's science lab (to satisfy his scientific urges), and holodeck (to satisfy every other power fantasy that running the world wouldn't actually give him time to indulge in). Mad scientist or not, Linksano realizes how much of a good deal that is, and signs on.
Enemy Mine: He teamed up with Linkara against their common foe Lord Vyce, tired of running from him through different universes.
Even Evil Has Standards: In Linkara's joint review of The Spirit with Film Brain, Linksano thinks that melting someone's face is acceptable, but melting a cat (as Octopus does in the movie) is just wrong.
Filler Villain: Basically just a breather between Mechakara and Vyce.
But now it's was revealed that he was actually important to the plot: he gave Mechakara the upgrades Vyce planned to give him.
A recurring character in both The Spoony Experiment and Atop the Fourth Wall, Dr. Insano is a mad scientist bent on world domination, and the former President of the United States. He's also Linkara's archenemy. His section is on the Spoony Experimentpage.
The Entity a.k.a Missingno.
A being from Lord Vyce's home universe, described as a "glitch" that threatens all reality.
Adaptational Badass: In Pokemon, Missingno is mildly creepy if you start applying Fridge Logic, somewhere between useful and annoying if you don't, and is nigh-universally pathetic in battle to the point of usually being incapable of victory. Now, he's a horror that makes Slenderman look friendly and harmless, and reduces entire worlds to nothingness. Also, Word Of God says that in this case, all the other glitch pokemon are just different forms of Missingno..
And I Must Scream: Linkara explains that the Entity's goal of absorbing everything in existence, including existence itself, would ultimately lead to this.
A God Am I: Even for a being with literally godlike powers, it seems to be a bit full of itself, regarding itself as the most perfect of all beings-which is thrown into perspective when it calls itself an outer god, but simultaneously knows it was the product of a programming error.
Proves it's undoing in the end-after being forced to acknowledge the meaninglessness of it's own existence, it commits suicide.
And Then What?: Linkara manages to defeat Missingno. by pointing out that once it absorbs all of existence, it will have nothing else to do for the rest of eternity but exist, and manages to get it to kill itself by asking it what happens when an Outer God dies, which it decides to explore.
Batman Gambit: Rather than keep fighting Lord Vyce itself, it sat back, impersonated 90's Kid and gambled on Linkara defeating his Arch-Enemy for him. It worked.
Big Bad: Becomes the main threat of its own arc after Lord Vyce is defeated and exiled.
Beta Baddie: To absorb all and become all was Missingno.'s way of truly become meaningful, to become something instead of the nothing that it is. When Linkara points out that even after becoming existence itself, existence itself will also become pointless, it accepts the only thing that could bring meaning into its existence: Self-Destruction.
Catch Phrase: That buzzing sound that's been heard throughout the series: HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAAAAAAAAAN!!!
Cosmic Horror Story: Deconstructed awesomely by Linkara in order to defeat it: if the world is truly meaningless as Lovecraft seems to think, then so are the various Eldritch Abominations of the universe. If it became everything, then it would still be just as pointless. It doesn't take this well. Ironically, self-destruction was its way to become meaningful.
Driven to Suicide: Linkara convinces the functionally-confused Entity to do this after a successful Logic Bomb.
Early-Bird Cameo: Its voice is heard in a couple videos before being explicitly identified.
It also was shown in The Dark Knight Strikes Again Part 2 when Linkara made a joke about it.
It was also shown even earlier, in Linkara's video about comics he won't review. When he's talkign about webcomics you may see a page from Super Effective. This page.
Evil Sounds Deep: Not usually, but it's voice becomes very deep if you piss it off.
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: It actually starts leaving near-subliminal messages in the closing credits of various episodes and whenever the fans ask Linkara about this he says he doesn't see anything.
God of Evil: Or, at least, it's worshipped as though it was one by Whately and his Cult. It says a lot about the monster, however, that this still tells us nothing about it.
Glowing Eyes of Doom: The telltale sign that it was impersonating 90's Kid. Even scarier than most, since they're literally static screens.
Hell Is That Noise: It has a high-pitched, mechanical sounding voice which is all we hear of it for a while. More recently, we've heard a vaguely feminine laugh.
His Name Is...: MarzGurl said something beginning with "M" before being taken by it. Turns out she was about to say Missingo...
Irony:Missingno, a Pokémon, is a computer glitch that evolved to a godlike being that gained life somehow. This makes it more like a Digimon than a Pokemon.
Logic Bomb: Linkara defeats the Entity this way, making it question the logic of its own end goal if it were to become the only thing left in the universe.
Nigh Invulnerable: It's perhaps the only villain in Linkara's Rogue's Gallery that anyone has failed to develop any kind of weapon against or true countermeasure for. Every single attempt to fight it off have been met with failure.
No Ontological Inertia: When it kills itself, everyone is restored to normal. Linksano suggests that it might have been an act of generosity or else just an effect of its death.
Nothing Is Scarier: Easily the most mysterious villain so far, and all the scarier for it. Even with Mechakara's backstory and motivations being unknown until the end of his story arc, we could latch on to the fact that he was a robot duplicate of Linkara. Here, we've got nothing to go on but some extremely esoteric phrases to know anything about what the Entity even is.
Uncanny Valley: The Entity is just unsettling to look at. Nevermind that it's taking the form of comic relief 90's kid with a distorted voice and unnatural, interfence cascade eyes, but every shot focusing on it just glitches from time to time, like its voice scratching and repeating, or its body blinking in place or from one place to another. Just its presence is outright creepy, let alone all the rest.
Voluntary Shapeshifter: It doesn't have a form of its own, which is why it's spent an unknown amount of time impersonating 90's kid.
Villain Poem: "Beneath the seas, Beside the flame, The bones from hell you cannot tame..."
An AU counterpart of Iron Liz, Judas Liz was recruited by Lord Vyce. She and Mechakara attack Linkara but she disappears after a morphed Linkara holds a gun to her head.
Gotta Kill Em All: Judging from Part 3 of Liz's Warhammer review, she's hunting down every other Liz in the Multiverse, though the reason's unknown at this point.
All that he sees, he conquers. In his opinion, protects as well-he was a survivor of a universe destroyed by an Eldritch Abomination known as "the Entity", but grew fed up with his warnings never being listened to and decided it would be better if he took command.
Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: His constant pursuit and attacks on the Entity actually managed to hurt it significantly, rendering it vulnerable.
Badass: Flattens Linkara and effortlessly kills Pyramid Head.
That's not all. It's recently been revealed that the Entity is not the first Eldritch Abomination he's fought. It's just the only one who survived his attacks.
Cassandra Truth: He tried to warn other worlds of the Entity before, but no-one listened (after all, would YOU believe that a glitch from a Gameboy game has become an Outer God?) so he turned to the conquest route.
Ironically, he falls on the opposite side of this trope later on, refusing to accept that Linkara managed to beat the Entity.
The Chessmaster: Due to mysteriously depleted resources he sends Mechkara after Linkara in order to weaken him enough to destroy him and as not to scare off a mysterious thing known only as "the Source".
Curb-Stomp Battle: In what was likely a shout-out to Lord Zedd's devastating No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, Vyce gets fed up with indirect combat with Linkara and proceeds to completely wreck him before leaving when Linkara manages to inflict some damage to his armor.
Humiliation Conga: He ends up being played for a sucker to get him away from his ship and powerless, suffering the combined force of every weapon in Linkara's arsenal, and marooned in a barren universe.
Inspired By / Required Spinoff Crossover: When viewed in parallel with Linkara's ongoing "History of Power Rangers" series, it's clear that the style of Lord Vyce (in particular his name and his use of a group of Putty-like mooks, the Shades) was inspired by Power Rangers villains, predominantly Lord Zedd.
Implacable Man: He beats Pyramid Head in one hit. Pyramid Head.
Knight of Cerebus: After Mechakara's defeat, things went back to being silly when Dr. Linksano became the main villain. Then Lord Vyce came along....
Motive Decay: Downplayed. At first he seems determined to stop the Entity, but when he reappears he is more concerned about being recognized for his exploits then actually stoping the Entity, but is still obsessed with it's destruction for the good of the world. As implied by Linkara after he was beat for the first time, his massive ego was always a part of his character, but it wasn't expounded on before their second encounter.
Necessarily Evil:He conquers universes so he can protect them from something even worse than him.
Virtual Ghost: Becomes one to escape from the dead universe. The fact that he is now exactly the same sort of entity as Missngno. is an irony not lost on him.
Xanatos Gambit: Following Mechakara's plot to have the powers of Silent Hill mentally destroy Linkara was really just a plan to ensure that, even if it didn't work, he could see what Linkara and his weapon were capable of.
Mechakara
An evil android duplicate of Linkara come from... elsewhere... harboring nefarious plans. Actually the Alternate Universe doppelganger of Linkara's Robot Buddy Pollo cloaked in a humanoid shell, Mechakara traveled to our world when Doctor Insano breached dimensions with his Hypertime device.
And now apparently again, via body-jumping into Pollo's new body from his old hand, possibly as a result of power gained by stealing Linkara's Power Coin.
Except not.
Breakout Villain: Originally only created because Linkara wanted a robot version of himself for the end of Supermanvs.TheTerminator. He decided to bring him back, even though at first he had no idea what to do with him. Eventually, this trope was even lampshaded.
"I was a popular character and villain; seeing me again should drive up the viewers."
The Chessmaster: He didn't lay a finger on Linkara, his plots more driven at driving him insane, and only attacked him when all those plans failed.
Does it again in their rematch, stopping everything that happened to him last time... Then promptly ends up on the receving end of one courtesy of White Zeo Linkara.
Death by Irony: The exact reason Lord Vyce gave him his flesh appearance instead of rebuilding him as wholly robotic: he wants this universe's champion to be killed by his own image.
He was finished off by Neutro, a human piloted mecha.
Energy Being: Appears to have become one thanks to the magic coin, having remained alive inside his hand until he could transfer to a new body, leaving a trace similar to that of the Entity, but see Red Herring bellow.
Eviler than Thou: Shortly after his arrival, Mechakara scares off Linkara's previous archnemesis, Doctor Insano. And forced him to get a haircut, apparently. But Insano gets the last laugh when, after Linkara defeats Mechakara, he teleports the robot to his lab for revenge.
Eye Awaken: The latest view of Insano's lab has a close-up of Mechakara's cybernetic eye. Which proceeds to flash on...
In the Power Rangers Zeo review, after Linkara sets Mechakara's hand on the bookshelf, it wiggles its figners ominously.
And now in the review of the Fantastic Four and Wonder Woman origin comics, he downloads himself into the replacement body Linkara made for Pollo and the optic sensor lights up red.
Gaslighting: Seems like his plan for Dead/Alive, using Linkara's already deteriorating mental state to torture him and try to convince him to kill Pollo in order to drive him over the edge.
... But the real plan was just for him to drive him insane using the unholy beast the girl from the introductions unleashed. He didn't count on the gun (I.e. the girl's life force) helping Linkara. And now Lord Vyce has upgraded him
Joker Immunity: Has survived being torn apart twice now.
Manipulative Bastard: Every plan he had was to break Linkara psychologically. Though it failed and he eventually had to resort to physical violence, it's still his MO and he appears to have figured out the best way to do it.
Red Right Hand: More like "(comically small) skeletal robotic right hand".
Turned Against Their Masters: Both generally, in that he comes from a universe where humans are in a war with machines, and specifically, as he is an alternate version of Pollo who killed alternate-Linkara.
The creature from Silent Hill. Tried to kill Linkara while he was stuck in the netherworld, but Linkara just trapped it in a Pokeball. Killed by Lord Vyce. Later, Whately appears with two of them and Linkara captures another before defeating him.
The ineffectual villain behind the Silent Hill comics. He turns out to be a follower of the Entity and has been using the aforementioned comics to try and drive Linkara mad to the point of becoming his Cult's prophet. Played by Linkara-Prime.
Big Bad Wannabe: He tries to come across as a legitimate threat when it's painfully clear that he... just isn't.
The Man Behind the Man: Parodied. He's the one behind the various Silent Hill comics and the events connected to them, but he's less of a Magnificent Bastard and more of a raging loon.
Moral Event Horizon: Is considered to have crossed it in-universe by the girl who was turned into the magic gun.
Shout Out: His name is Silent Hill comics writer Scott Ciencin's tribute to Wilbur Whateley from H. P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror. On AT4W, though, his name is pronounced "wut-ley" rather than "wait-ley" because of how WUT-inducing he is.
An alternate version of Linkara, who began reviewing comic books in hopes that they could help him take over the world. He also controls a spaceship, and without the interferance of Mirrorsano he would have taken over the Mirror Universe in a matter of days.
Evil Versus Evil: Presumably. While the opening credits have changed, it still shows clips of Mirrorkara defeating the same villains as Linkara. Then again, there is no indication that these versions are still villainous in the Mirror Universe...
An alternate version of Dr. Insano (though still played by Linkara) who is just and heroic. Iron Liz convinced him and Tom Pollo to take control of Mirror Comicron-1 from Mirrorkara in order to prevent him from taking over the world.
An alternate version of Pollo. Shares identical personalities with the Pollo of our universe, except has the body of Tom Servo.
Mirror Liz
An alternate version of Iron Liz. Not much is known about her except for the fact that she thinks 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons is the best in the entire series.
Linkara: Clearly some kind of transposition has taken place!

Snowflame
A villain from the DC comic New Guardians, in the comic he died in the issue he was introduced (#2) but he was a such a bombastic character that he was rather taken to by many people who read it. Linkara has discovered him and taken him back to his place during the review of New Guardians #1. He worships, and is powered by, cocaine. At this point it isn't clear if he's Linkara's ally or enemy or just some sort of bizarre roomate Linkara's found. More recent strips lean towards 'bizarre roomate'...
Adult Child: He thinks the snow outside is cocaine, butts into conversations and scenes, and is rather inquisitive natured for an adult.
He is a Brony or at least would be if he could remember the show and character's names.
Large Ham: Much like in his comic book appearance, Snowflame likes to yell and exclaim things.
Mad Libs Catch Phrase: His advice on peer pressure is thus: If someone challenges to do <insert challenge here> no matter what it is? Do fifty <Insert challenge here>, At the same time! no matter what the challenge is.
Snowflame: Somebody challenges you to smoke a cigarette? Smoke 50! AT THE SAME TIME!
Snowflame: Somebody challenges you to jump a bench? Jump 50! AT THE SAME TIME!
Snowflame: Somebody challenges you to eat the last cupcake? Eat 50! AT THE SAME TIME!
A holographic duplicate of Linkara, down to his very last mannerism and verbal tic, Holokara was created (using Star Trek tech) to fake out Whatley and his eldritch cult when he was forced to review another stack of Silent Hill comic books. Effectively identical to Linkara in every way, save for the fact that he's simply an electromagnetic light construct.
Hidden in Plain Sight: If you've ever watched Star Trek: Voyager with some regularity, you know that Linkara didn't review a single one of those Silent Hill comics.
Sarcasm Mode: When 'slain' by Whatley's Pyramid Head.
