History Characters / FightClub

* ArmoredClosetGay: Bi, because he is sexually attracted to Marla. In fact, it is heavily implied [[spoiler:that the whole reason why the Tyler persona was birthed from his subconscious in the first place because he refused to consciously accept that he had fallen for a woman like her]], but there's a very loud subtext about having your mentor/[[spoiler:SexierAlterEgo]] be Brad Pitt, as well as having jealousy for Angel Face when Tyler likes him.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Often acts like an asshole to people around him, especially to Marla, but his treatment of Bob show his better side.

* IWasQuiteALooker: He used to be a bodybuilder who took steroids. He stopped doing both after getting testicular cancer, [[FanDisservice and it shows.]]

* EasilyForgiven: Zig-zagged. While he doesn't try to get revenge against the Narrator for [[spoiler:ruining his face]] and still calls him "sir," he seems rather bitter and traumatized over it but has found some way to rationalize it away. This makes sense considering Project Mayhem's increasingly cult-like quality: its members believe that the leaders can do no wrong, and so hold no grudges even if they get treated terribly by them.

->Portrayed by Creator/EdwardNorton (film), Dave Wittenberg (video game)

* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler: To Marla, thanks to him and Tyler being the same person, though he first doesn't realize it. Tyler treats her with affection and sleeps with her, while Jack is snarky at best to her and an asshole at worst.]]

->''"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."''

->Portrayed by Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter (film), Creator/NikaFutterman (video game)

->''"The condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip one on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night... then you throw it away. The condom, I mean, not the stranger."''

->Portrayed by Music/MeatLoaf

* PrettyLittleHeadshots: [[spoiler: Seemingly played straight when he's shot in the back of the head with little noticeable damage, then subverted when the Narrator takes his balaclava off and reveals that the bullet destroyed most of the top of his head]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed in the film. Tyler's master plan might be as destructive as in the book, and arguably even more so, as the film sees him [[spoiler:targeting multiple buildings]], unlike in the book where he only [[spoiler:targets one building]]. But also unlike in the book, [[spoiler:he makes sure that the buildings he plans to blow up are emptied of people beforehand]]. In addition, in the film, [[spoiler:he's targeting office buildings]], while in the book, [[spoiler:he's trying to blow up a ''museum'']], something people are less likely to support.

* AxCrazy: He is brutal, unpredictable, sadistic, very open to murder, a MadBomber, commits brutal acts randomly, and is generally a StrawNihilist who lives a life of pure hedonism.
