Mister Big is currently without an image. I think there are some viable options for this page, this from Watchmen, which can take the pagequote as a caption or this from Game of Thrones with Tyrion, Bronn, and some guardsmen seem possible to me. I'm having difficulty finding an image that clearly shows the little man is in charge without knowing the context so it doesn't look like, "a dwarf is next to regular sized/tall guys".

The Go T example doesn't really fit, because Tyrion is not really a villain. The Watchman example is good though: short guy chomping a cigar with two hulking bodyguards behind him fits perfectly imo.

OK on Watchmen.

The Watchmen is an okay image.

I can't find a better picture of Big Figure so that one will work. [tup]

The Watchmen one is good.

Another vote or two for Big Figure and we can run with him.

I guess I'll add another vote for Big Figure. It's a solid image.

I like Ramon Salazar, myself. He and his bodyguards look more obviously villainous.

[up] Huh...that's interesting. Not sure if I prefer it to Big Figure, but it's definitely worth consideration.

[up][up] That's a good one, but I still slightly prefer Big Figure.

I like Big Figure [tup]. For a caption I'd suggest: "Small World". Or something similar.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."

The thing I don't like about Big Figure is the way the guy on the left has the top of his head cut off. It's bad composition. Also, they just don't look all that much like bad guys. The guy with his head cut off looks downright genial.

Big Figure looks pretty evil to me in that picture, the way he's gesturing with the cigar and the expression on his face are pretty stereotypically mob boss-like. Both his thugs' outfits also seem to be stained with blood.

I prefer the whole quote for a caption:

"Big Figure. Small world."

ETA: Oh that's the page quote. It'd make a better caption, IMO. (Also potholes to Pun are dumb. "Har har I made a funny!" and a troper tic. Even though it was Rorschach making the pun, I just think that's poor style.)

Let's go ahead and run with Big Figure. I like Rorschach's whole quote for the caption.

Just wondering, would anyone be interested in a colorized Big Figure or is B&W fine?

If you can find one that's colorized, sure.

It's the trope namer, but the shadow would be misleading.
