History Characters / MysteryMen

->'''Played by:''' Claire Forlani

* UnskilledButStrong: Despite his alleged SuperStrength, he tends to not be of much use in a fight except as a punching bag for the bad guys. [[spoiler: This changes when [[LetsGetDangerous his rage ''really'' takes over]] and he proves himself a martial equal to [[BigBad Casanova Frankenstain]].]]

* GutturalGrowler: He puts on this type of voice at times to try to sound intimidating, but inevitably slips back into his natural higher-pitched voice.

* SuperheroesPackingHeat: Uses some of Heller's weapons in the finale.

'''Mr Furious''' Are we sure Lance Hunt and Captain Amazing aren't the same person?

'''The Shoveller''' (as the rest of the gang groan and roll their eyes) Oh not this AGAIN! Lance Hunt wears glasses, Captain Amazing doesn't!

'''Mr Furious''' But what if he took his glasses off?

'''The Shoveller''' Then he wouldn't be able to see, would he?

'''Mr Fruious''' Are we sure Lance Hunt and Captain Amazing aren't the same person?

* DoingItForTheArt: InUniverse. He has an elaborate backstory and character for his superhero identity, and is nit-picky about keeping themes consistent, to the point of actually making him less effective (his partners complain about his refusal to throw knives, and his theatrical flourishes actually ruin his accuracy until Sphinx tells him to knock it off).

->'''Played By''': Creator/EddieIzzard

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Captain Amazing makes his first appearance stopping the Red-Eyes Gang's attack on the nursing home, beating them effortlessly while Mr. Furious, the Shoveler, and Blue Raja couldn't do anything meaningful to stop them. He gives shallow and half-hearted praise to the latter two wannabe heroes when they go to greet him, with only Mr. Furious realizing the insincerity in his words. He then rudely shoved aside a boy asking him to autograph his cap, pushes a man in a wheelchair out of the way without concern for the man’s safety, and gleefully answers the press's questions while showing concern when he hears that he's lost his Pepsi endorsement. All of this tells us that while he may have the might of a hero, he doesn't have the heart of one, and at his core he's really an egotistical man who only cares for fame and his sponsorships while having no respect for people individually.

* VillainHasAPoint: When Captain Amazing arrives to apprehend him and claims he’s doing so for justice, Frankenstein is the one who correctly points out his real motive.
-->'''Casanova Frankenstein''': I thought it was all about publicity, and keeping your sponsors happy.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Downplayed. The plot of the movie kicks off when he gets Casanova Frankenstein freed from prison just so he can have a high-profile battle with him. While he certainly knew Casanova never reformed and would start wrecking havoc, he seriously underestimates his ArchEnemy's cunning and gets himself captured for his trouble, leaving the Mystery Men to save the day.
