Basic Trope: Someone who has mastered the art of stealth.
  • Straight:
  • Exaggerated: Leave No Witnesses, using the art of murdering everyone as stealth.
  • Downplayed: Optional Stealth, played as a mix of The Berserker and Ninja where Bobby kills any possible witnesses that could very easily expose him. It's not necessarily slowing down and not getting caught; It's speeding up and killing anyone before they can alert everyone else.
  • Justified: There are thousands of guards who never stay in groups of less than 10, mainly because they're guarding a heavily guarded secret (bonus points if it's something man isn't supposed to know) that is worth trillions, or could be cataclysmic in the wrong hands. No matter how good your weaponry is, you'll never be able to defeat any more than three, so it's a much better idea to completely avoid them, and avoid them Bobby does.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted: Optional Stealth in general.
  • Double Subverted: Bobby decides to go purely with stealth.
  • Averted: Bobby goes in guns blazing, every time, all the time.
  • Lampshaded: "Went in, got out. Nobody saw a thing."
  • Exploited: Bobby becomes extremely rich off of his skills. Probably through theft.
  • Defied: Bobby was told to be stealthy, but Bobby doesn't do stealth. He's The Berserker, after all - not The Spy.
  • Discussed:
    Frank: How did you get this without getting shot?
    Bobby: Simple. Nobody saw me.
    Frank: Nobody?
    Bobby: Not a single soul.
  • Conversed: "Damn, he's really good at hiding. Must be good to be that stealthy."
  • Logical Extreme: Stealthy Colossus.

C'mon, sneak under this camera like the Stealth Expert you are. It shouldn't be able to see you this far back...
