* FairPlayVillain: Unlike later villainous Immortals who freely violate the rules of the Game, like MookChivalry, introducing projectile weapons, or (in one case) the sanctity of holy ground, the Kurgan sticks to them pretty closely. While he demands fights from his enemies whenever they run into each other and certainly isn't above truly horrible psychological warfare, he doesn't really go for sneak attacks and mostly just overpowers them in honest, one-on-one fights. The Kurgan is a chemical spill of everything else that was wrong about the past, but, as his comic origin story says, he's not a coward who needs to cheat to win.

* ForTheEvulz: And the Prize, but The Kurgan doesn't seem to be in much of a rush. He's having way too much fun carving a bloody trail through history. [[spoiler: As shown by his death, he doesn't even care if he loses.]]
