Go To

Basic Trope: A usually calm, stoic character who has fire-based powers.

  • Straight: Blaze has the power to make fire, but he's portrayed as The Stoic who almost always remains calm.
  • Exaggerated: Blaze can create massive explosions, yet he's the calmest and most easygoing guy you'll ever meet.
  • Downplayed: Blaze has occasional moments of Beware the Nice Ones, but overall tends to be calm.
  • Justified:
    • Blaze is aware that fire can be destructive, so he remains calm and tries to only use his fire powers for good.
    • Blaze experiences Power Incontinence when he gets angry enough, so controlling his anger is important to ensure that no one gets hurt.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted:
    • Blaze seems to be stoic and calm... but it turns out he's just hiding this behind Tranquil Fury, and he shows his true self when pushed to his limits.
    • Blaze seems to have fire powers. It turns out to be a case of Non-Indicative Name, because he's actually a case of Making a Splash.
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted:
    • No one has any fire-based powers.
    • Blaze isn't portrayed as particularly calm.
  • Enforced: "We should do a Power Stereotype Flip. Usually, fire-themed characters are portrayed as having equally fiery personalities, but what if we had one that was more serene?"
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???

Let's go to Fiery Stoic and have a calm chat by the fire.
