Corrupt Male Menace is a newish contributor, still pretending to learn the ropes whilst actually reading a comic concealed inside the textbook. He is a small-time
Evil Genius living in that top bit of Britain which
does not exist according to most works of fiction.
The Hair is CMM's constant companion and protector, residing on the top of his scalp for reasons of its own. Some have speculated that the Hair is in fact
the true brains of the outfit, and that before it joined CMM, its previous host was one Stan Laurel...
When not
ruining his life through troping, CMM and The Hair have interests in
music,
drama,
correct use of the English language,
zontanecrology,
world domination...
Part of
The Dysfunctional Family.
This troper demonstrates examples of:
- Affably Evil
- Asexuality
- A Boy and His X: Although if the Hair is in control, that makes it An X And His Boy...
- Beard of Evil: Grown to stop him from looking like a fourteen-year-old. Now he looks like a bearded fourteen-year-old.
- Berserk Button: misuse of apostrophes, stupidity and zontanecrological inaccuracy.
- Beware the Nice Ones: CMM seems to have two settings - 'laugh everything off' and 'kill everyone nearby'. He can jump between them without warning.
- Big Eater: The Hair is canonically capable of eating Hell.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: He easily identified himself as this and was going to add it to his page ages ago, but he just couldn't be bothered...
- Canine Companion: She's called Lady.
- Captain Morgan Pose: Played straight occasionally as he finds it (or variations thereupon) bizarrely comfortable. Played for laughs just as often, or more.
- Card-Carrying Villain
- Cargo Ship: Several people seem to have developed worrying relationships with the Hair.
- Cosmic Horror: The Hair.
- Cluster F-Bomb: When he's really, really angry.
- Dance Battler: He once weaponised his own inability to dance by intentionally almost-breaking a girl's arms.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Any time the Hair is cut.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
- Evil Genius
- Evil Is Hammy
- Evil Laugh: He has a range of them, all equally creepy.
- Evil Sounds Deep
- For the Evulz: His motivation for pretty-much everything.
- The Gadfly
- Grammar Nazi
- Having A Heart: His standard response to a sarcastic "So you do have a heart/brain" is to point out that he does, in a jar on his desk. Named Henry.
- Incredibly Lame Pun: without these, he would never say anything.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
- Insufferable Genius
- Jerkass Façade: Or possibly Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Or possibly Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk. Either way, it is wildly theorised that he is secretly a humanity-loving romantic way, way deep down.
- Kid with the Leash: To the Hair. Maybe.
- The Mad Hatter
- Mad Scientist: He's an environmental chemist. This course was chosen just so he could experiment on things.
- Memetic Badass: Is the Hair really as unstoppable as people say? The honest answer is that it's impossible to tell - no-one alive in the world today has ever tried to stop it.
- Most Tropers Are Young Nerds
- Mouthful of Pi: Can recite as far as 3.141592653589793238462643383275 off the top of his head.
- Nerds Are Virgins: His sexuality makes him a virgin by default. The nerdiness is possibly related somehow.
- Nice Hat: CMM owns three top hats in varying refined colours, two stetsons (one in black and one in SANTA), a curiously woobieish broken jester's hat and a fez.
- Noble Demon: He's Neutral Evil dangit; don't listen to the slanderers who insist he's Chaotic Good!
- Non-Action Guy: Has spectacularly lost every fight he didn't run from.
- Overly-Long Gag: CMM had an Overly-Long Gag once, but it died. Now it's in a jar. On his desk. Named Henry.
- Precision F-Strike: Prefers not to swear if he can help it. Can't always help it.
- Sarcasm Failure: Despite being a self-proclaimed 'Stupidity Point-Outer', he refuses to even try to take on certain subjects due to there being too much Snark Bait involved for him to comprehend.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Suffers from repeated bouts of "prolix logorrhoea".
- Significant Anagram
- Sissy Villain: He is, by his own admission "suspiciously camp". Being asexual helps.
- Take Over the World
- Too Clever by Half
- Unstoppable Rage: The Hair
- Wicked Cultured: Favourite historical humans include Mozart, Shakespeare, Burns and Machiavelli.
