Um is this on, oh ok.
Name's Boomstick. You may know me as one of the co-hosts from a certain awesome internet show called DEATH BATTLE!, so i'll just get to the point.
Death Battle was made in 2010 by Ben Singer where me and my co-host Wiz put all sorts of characters from all over the place against each other in fights to the death. I usually do the research on weapons while Wiz does the rest.
On March 16th, 2016 at the end of Dante VS Bayonetta I revealed that I would be hosting my own spin-off show called DBX where I don't bother with research and just make them fight, but on July 14th, 2019 I gave the job of host to my best buddy Marshall (or as he goes by Ringmaster) but I still have my work on Death Battle to do.
Oh hey! I see DUMMI has his own page here. I'm going to blow him up right now!note
These Tropes pretty much sum me up.
- Abusive Parents: My dad was pretty much this for me when he was around; the only gift he really gave me was a sore cheek. Momma Boomstick was a much better parent, even if her training went into some really weird places sometimes.
Me: When I was a kid Mama Boomstick trained me and some friends to eat sixty hot dogs in ten minutes! I was the only one who survived...
- Acrofatic: Don't let my weight and shotgun leg fool ya, I'm really good at running. A lot better than Mob, that's for sure.
- A God Am I: Hey if I could lie as well as Mr Satan, I'd make people think I was king of the world too, or even God.
- And, as of Flash VS Sonic, I am a god- a Speed God, thanks to Wiz putting latent cosmic kinetic energy in my beer! I ran to Jupiter and back! Too bad I don't use that power for much other than delivering a Bond One-Liner.
- Agony of the Feet: Yeah in Aquaman VS Namor Wiz inflicts this on me just for quoting Bane. What a jerk! I've only got one foot in the first place!
Me: (talking behind a can of beer)You think the point is your ally, you merely adopted the point, I was born in it, molded by it.(gets stabbed in the foot by Wiz)
Wiz: How about that point?
Me:(Delayed Reaction then Screams Like a Little Girl)- This continues on in Season 6 with me threatening Wiz not to stab me again in Ganondorf VS Dracula, and I finally get to pay him back for it in Guy's preview by breaking his leg.
- The Alcoholic: Hey I'm not dependent on booze, booze is dependent on me! But yeah, I do drink a lot of beer and some things me and Wiz talk about, I wonder how useful they would be to get beers with ease. I even use the Gravity Gun to get beers from the couch!
- Also, in Captain Marvel VS Shazam, I spilled a perfectly good beer trying to prove I could control gravity like Ms. Danvers. I'M A MONSTER!!! Then I poured one out for it... only to find I was wasting more beer.
- All Men Are Perverts: If there's a hot woman as one or both combatants on the show, you can count on me to point this out! The only exceptions include; my ex-wife, Rebecca Black, Princesses Zelda and Peach, Taokaka, Toph, Yang (I was more busy admiring her weapons instead), Agent Carolina,Renamon, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Lucy, Weiss, Mitsuru (Me and Wiz were more interested in her fur coat), Akane,Tatsumaki and Black Canary.
- Alternate Self: I have one of these called Broomstick, he looks like me but has Wiz's clothes and talks like him too. Also, he's British.
- Amazon Chaser: I spent most of Yang's analysis gushing over her Ember Celica and when Tifa lost I talk about losing a potential wife, I called Erza Damn near perfect and decided that Lara Croft will be my next ex-wife.
- Arch-Enemy: Let's just say I really enjoyed how Justin Bieber VS Rebecca Black ended, but seriously, I hate pop stars more than my ex-wife, and that's saying a lot.
- Artificial Limbs: My right leg below the knee is a shotgun which I can use pretty well. Still can't do ballet with it, though.
- Audience Surrogate: I pretty much am one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If a character's portrayal in the MCU is very different from the comics like Ultron's creation and Thanos' Infinity Stones, I will definitely bring up the movies before Wiz talks about the comic's version.
- Awesome, but Impractical: I patented the baby cannon, both me and Wiz think it's awesome but Wiz shot it down because of it's reload time.
- Bad Boss: I don't bother to pay Jocelyn the Intern for her work, the money usually goes to booze and ammo, and when we finally are on camera, I was the one to offer the idea of blaming it on her.
- Big "NO!": I said this when both Charizard and Vader lose their fights..
- Bond One-Liner: I usually cap off episodes with one after the fight. You can view them all here.
- Blood Knight: There is nothing I love more than over the top murder and violence.
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: In the Tatsumaki preview episode, I said I have to go home to shoot the guy bringing my daughter home from a date. When Wiz questions what I'll do if the guy is on time, I replied that I'm still shooting the guy on principle.
- Bruiser with a Soft Centre: Believe it or not, I do have a soft spot for cute critters like kittens, Kirby, and tanukis (other than Shukaku, that is).
- Butt-Monkey: I usually get more crap than Wiz does in episodes.
- The Cameo: I made one in the season 4 finale of DBX, Batman VS Iron Man where I was bidding to have Piccolo as a dad.
- Camera Obscurer: The main reason you've never seen my face and Wiz's face until Mario VS Sonic (2018) was due to me leaving the lens-cap on the camera, but we decided to blame Jocelyn for it instead.
- Character Catchphrase: "IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!"
- Cloudcuckoolander: I usually go on tangents during the post battle analysis and think a baby launcher would be a good invention.
- Cluster F-Bomb: My reaction to Gaara's defeat at Toph's hands had a lot more profanity than usual.
- Me: Ohh—-! (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) god-damn (bleep) son of a (bleep) (bleep) weasel! Why did another anime character have to lose?!
- Cool Bike: I once owned a motorcycle, and tried to set it on fire like Ghost Rider's Hell Cycle. When Wiz shows his surprise that I owned a bike, I make it clear that the bike didn't survive that experiment.
- Cuteness Proximity: I go aww at the kittens, the tanuki and the Waddle Dees.
- Deadpan Snarker: I usually save the "deadpan" for whoever lost the battle. Otherwise, I tend to be more over-the-top than Wiz is.
- Deal with the Devil: I have made a couple of comments that suggest I've done this in the past. I wonder what kind of deal Nathan made with Satan to survive such big falls, adding that I know that kind of thing comes with a terrible price, And when we talked about how Mitsuru's grandfather about how he experimented with Shadows (which I described as basically demons), saying it as a bad idea since summoning demons is always a bad idea. It never works out. And when it does... it doesn't/
- Deep South: Yep, I'm a redneck. In case you can't tell by the accent and love of guns.
- Disappeared Dad: My dad eventually left me and Mama Boomstick for no good reason. I'm not exactly happy about this. SCREW YOU, DAD! YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND! If he really left to join the army, maybe daddy's Sarge, even if he lives hundreds of years in the future?
- Ditzy Genius: I am actually more clever than I sounds at times, and can keep up with Wiz.
- Drunk Driver: According to Wiz, I once drove a dune buggy drunk. It ended up in a lake.
- Dumbass Has a Point: I occasionally say something clever in the middle of my ramblings.
- Eagleland: I'm loud, boisterous, and a lover of guns and beer.
- And no, I'm not wanted in all 50 states for crushing cars and killing people.
- Eccentric Millionaire: I've claimed that if I ever got rich, I would blow all my money on Bigfoot traps.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: I get very protective of my mom when Wiz and Deadpool make cracks about her.
- Everyone Has Standards:
- I may be a raging alcoholic, but I draw the line at driving under the influence, though I may have indulged in DUI in the past.
- I'm definitely perverted, but I give credit to female combatants when they prove themselves to be capable in a fight, and chastise my grandfather for thinking that women can't be asskickers. I also berate Roll for "sending feminism back to the '60s".
- I actually have no problem when I find out Lucy murdered a bunch a kids because they murdered her adorable puppy and forced her to watch.
- In that same episode, I have an issue with dog harming in general.
- In "Dr. Doom vs. Darth Vader", I am pissed that Dr. Doom awarded himself a doctorate after taking over Latveria, claiming it an insult to everyone who actually had to work for one. Later, in "Dr. Fate vs. Dr. Strange", I'm equally leary about Fate's title, until Wiz assures me that yes, he actually did earn a legitamite doctorate.
- For a guy with such a clear love of violence I'm quite somber when talking about the destruction of the nuclear bombs and the beginning of the nuclear age in Godzilla vs Gamera.
- I signed the Death Race contract in strawberry jam, not blood. I'm not an animal! (Beat) Wait, did Wiz use blood?!
- Extreme Omnivore: I really want to eat a Pokémon. What?! They look delicious!
- Fat Bastard: Careful who you're calling fat, buddy. But yeah, I'm a large guy, and I tested explosive weaponry on the Death Battle interns.
- Fighting Spirit: My Stand, 99 Bottles, turns anything it touches into beer! And you thought Star Platinum was cool!
- Fusion Dance: After seeing Gogeta and Vegito duke it out, I happily wished to fuse with Wiz! The dragon granted my wish! Too bad you guys don’t get to see the resulting fusion.
- Girl on Girl Is Hot: I certainly have no objections to how Rogue ended the fight between her and Wonder Woman.
- Gun Nut: I enjoy guns that can trash talk for me, prioritize Abnormal Ammo to normal ammo, and if it causes more destruction, fun for me. Some of my favorites are Shotgun 1340, The Boneduster Shotgun, The R.Y.N.O (namely the Mark 5 variant), and the Nano Rifle. My usual contribution to the analysis of any fighter from a setting with firearms is to observe the firearms involved and provide their stats.
- Handicapped Badass: Don't think I can't fight just because I've got one leg.
- Hangover Sensitivity: I may have been nursing a hangover during Ultron vs. Sigma, given my reaction to Dr. Wily's flying pod.
- Heroes Love Dogs: I'm no hero, but I have a pet dog named Jack Spaniels that I love. I develop a dislike for Carnage when I found out he tortured and killed a dog, and cheered Lucy on for killing several kids when I learn that they beat her puppy to death in front of her and approved of her apparent hatred of dog killers after she defeated Carnage.
- Hidden Depths: I'm smarter than you think.
- His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Boomstick really is my name.
- Hot-Blooded: In contrast to Wiz, I'm as bombastic as they come.
- I Call Him "Mister Happy": I decided to name my penis "Righteous Indignation", after Bucky O' Hare's ship.
- In Love with Your Carnage:
- Inelegant Blubbering: I hate to admit this, but I did this when I mentioned the death of Optimus Prime in The Transformers: The Movie, followed by going to hug my truck.
- Kamehame Hadoken: I'm a fan of both Trope Namers, calling out the "Hadoken!" in time with Ryu (and encouraging the viewer to do the same) when the move is mentioned in Ryu vs. Jin, and performed a Kamehameha (on Wiz, with the help of a shaken beer) in Roshi vs. Jiriya.
- Kick the Dog: Wiz drives me insane with That Man, I decide to take it out on Wiz's pet robotic dog. It only happens in the preview. In the actual episode, I look up That Man on the internet and calm down.
- Kindhearted Cat Lover:
- While the "kindhearted" part is debatable, I absolutely love kittens.
Me: Shut up! Kittens are adorable!
- On the other hand, I own a "laser-guided kitten cannon" and declare cats inferior to dogs (other than the Tigerzord obviously).
- While the "kindhearted" part is debatable, I absolutely love kittens.
- Know When to Fold Them: In the preview for the Black Panther, I get the idea to invade Wakanda. I change my mind after being shown a comic panel filled with the bodies of various Skrull warriors who tried to do just that.
- Large Ham: I'm louder, more passionate and generally a bigger presence than Wiz. Just listen to the way I say GHOOOOSTSS!!
- Laxative Prank: I pulled this on my fourth grade math teacher and gave her the shits. I asked if Ghost Rider's Penance Stare would give my soul the shits too for it.
- Libation for the Dead: I did this in both of the Captain Marvel fights:
- In the one against Android 18, I crack open a cold one for Carol's predecesor:
Me: Here's to you, Mar-Vel.- In the one against Shazam, after I drop a perfectly good beer, I poured one out for it.
- Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places: My mom went through 13 ex-husbands. I wasn't even five before she settled on hubby number 14.
- Momma's Boy: Unlike my asshole birth father and (many) stepfathers, whenever Mamma Boomstick comes up, I only have good things to say about her, even her cooking. I fondly remember her teaching me a martial art, too.
- Mundane Utility: I usually make a comment about how a fighter's equipment can be used to be lazy. Highlights include using the Sword of Omen's Tractor Beam to summon snacks, or Aquaman's trident to go to Disney World.
- My God, What Have I Done?:
- In the preview for Venom, I immediately regret shredding Wiz's clothes by yelling loudly. Mostly because I can't unsee Naked Wiz.
Me: OH MY GOD WHY DID I DO THAT? I CAN NEVER UNSEE! AUUGH! WHERE'S THE BLEACH?! I NEED IT FOR MY EYES!- I give two in "Captain Marvel vs. Shazam"; first when I drops a perfectly good beer after making a crack about 'controlling gravity' like Marvel, and shortly afterwards after I pour one out to said beer.
- In Deadpool vs. the Mask, I'm the one who cuts Wiz off in the middle of the post-fight analysis to point out that despite our usual impartial position in deciding the victor, we sent Wade to be killed by pitting him against an opponent we already knew outclassed him in every way.
- Naked First Impression: I forgot my pants when me and Wiz first met.
- Naked People Are Funny: In Gray's preview I assumed that his ice powers come from stripping so I decided to take off my pants, much to Wiz's horror and disgust.
- In the actual episode, I tear off my shirt instead, bring out a stripper pole, and order Wiz to oil me up. Then the jerk has to tell me Gray doesn't get his powers from stripping. Why couldn't he have warned me before I took off my favorite shirt?
- No More for Me: When Nomad of Nowhere brings a can of beer to life in "Thanos vs. Darkseid", I decided that I drank too much.
- Noodle Incident: At the end of Hulk's second preview for his fight with Broly, I revealed that I drank a bunch of Speed-Force sodas, I'm not gonna go into too much detail but by the end of it I became officially classified as a natural disaster, meaning Wiz is now legally responsible for anything I do, I milked this by committing some petty crimes because Wiz was too happy lately.
- Obsessed with Food: Beside my love for booze, I mention food a lot, like how I'm still mad at Wiz about not not letting me get a churro.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Yeah, a whole season later, I'm still not letting Wiz forget he stuck a trident in my foot.
- One-Note Cook: Before I discovered Blue Apron, I couldn't cook anything besides roast chicken.
- Only the Chosen May Wield: I don't know who chose me or why, but I can lift Mjolnir!
- Out-of-Character Moment:
- I realize that I did one in He-Man vs Lion-O:
Aww, we missed the cute kitty stage! (Beat) SHUT UP, kittens are adorable!
- In Yang vs Tifa, not once do I make an perverted comment on either character. Wiz clearly expects me to but I was actually talking about something else. note
- In Zoro vs Erza, I never make any real perverted comments towards Erza and instead call her "damn near perfect", with only a quip about how the Seduction Armor would be useful by making it hard for a man to fight "with an erection".
- I realize that I did one in He-Man vs Lion-O:
- Pet the Dog: Considering how usually cruel me and Wiz are when talking about anything tragic that happens to our combatants, when Wiz casually mentions Aerith's death, I politely tell him not to bring it up while shedding a tear.
- Pungeon Master: I usually say least one pun in every episode with the Toph vs Garra match going to town, usually at the very end. Doesn't mean I'll like what I say though.
- A Rare Sentence: In "Thanos vs. Darkseid", when Nomad of Nowhere drops in and brings a can of beer to life, I am so weirded out that I tell Wiz that I think I've drunk too much.
- Real Men Wear Pink: I own a pink car (with flame decals) which Riptor slams into, wrecking it.
Me: No, my car!
- I've also got a pink machine gun. It used to be white, but I washed it with my red hat.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'm pretty much the red to Wiz's blue, being louder and much more excitable.
- Like Wiz, I'm color-coded with red armor with white trims in Meta VS Carolina.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: Mama Boomstick trained me and my friends to eat 60 hotdogs in 10 minutes. I was the only one who survived.
- Southern-Fried Genius: Believe it or not, I actually have a college degree in poultry science, specialising in frying.
- Super-Strength: I'm stronger than your average Texan.
Me: (on Lion-O's Claw Shield) …with which, in his first outing, he effortlessly punched down a tree. Hey, that's just like how I catch squirrels for supper!
- Throw the Dog a Bone: Whenever I obviously favor one character over their opponent, that character would always end up losing. I was understandably enthusiastic when Guts vs Nightmare finally had one of my favorite characters win, with me talking over Wiz during the post-match analysis so I could gush some more about the winner.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Squirrels. My favorite breakfast food is "Nana's Southern Fried Squirrel." I also mentioned that Lion-O punching down trees is like how I catch squirrels for supper, In Thanos VS Darkseid I reveal that my mom's ghost pepper pie can have its taste weakened by using squirrel paste and Mega Man Battle Royale shows me eating a burger with a squirrel's tail sticking out.
- Training from Hell: Mama Boomstick put me through this... for hotdog eating. Notably averted for the traditional use, as I have fond memories of combat training with no dislike of it.
- Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Pretty much what Death Battle is and it's mine and Wiz's jobs to host it.
- Understatement: My only response to Shao Khan absorbing M. Bison's soul is "That can't be good".
- Vocal Evolution: By the third or fourth episode, my voice started getting louder and took on a more pronounced Southern accent.
- The Watson: I'm usually to be the one to ask the questions about Wiz's scientific facts so that they can be more easily explained by you guys. I try to contradict Wiz's research and claims with questions normal people would ask about the combatants.
- What Does This Button Do?: When Wiz brings out a "Multiverse Manipulator" in Miles Morales vs. Static, I don't even let him finish a sentence before I yell "BUTTON!" and press it.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: I don't like characters who rely on The Power of Friendship, cause I see that kind of thing as too sweet for a guy like me. I prefer characters who are The Social Darwinist like Esdeath.
- Who's on First?: While going over Sol Badguy, Wiz brings up That Man. Hilarity Ensues when I ask which one.
- You Remind Me of X: Goro kinda reminds me of the guy my ex-wife left me for at the wedding reception. Yes, because he's buff, but mainly the four arms.
