* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' threaten her mother or Marcus. Of the four hitmen, three were sliced open and the fourth was killed with a ''[[DropTheHammer sledgehammer]]'' (she wanted to use something special for him). And Ralph Genovese, who sent the hitmen... He was the final victim of Hit-Girl's horrifically epic RoaringRampageOfRevenge.

!! Marty Eisenberg[=/=]Battle Guy & Todd Haynes[=/=]Ass Kicker

* AlasPoorVillain: Sort of. Big Daddy drove him nearly to madness, and all because [[spoiler: Big Daddy wanted to live his childhood fantasy and choose him as the villain]].
* TheDon: Leads the D'Amico crime family in the first volume.

* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Subverted. Despite looking like [[TheSimpsons Ned Flanders]], he raises his little girl to be a ruthlessly efficient vigilante in order to exact revenge on John Genovese [[spoiler: not really revenge, he was just bored with his life and wanted his daughter to have an interesting life]].

%% * IJustWantToBeSpecial

%% * WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: [[spoiler:By selling his collection of classic comics]].
%% ** Which almost becomes HilariousInHindsight when you take into account that the [[Creator/NicolasCage actor]] who played Big Daddy in the movie [[spoiler:once famously sold his comic collection for a ton of money]].

%% * TheDon

* DisabilitySuperpower: His high pain threshold is due to nerve damage.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In Volume One, he leads with violence, in the face of non-violence. In particular, during his first foray into vigilantism, he brutally ambushes some young graffiti artists. Although he loses the battle, there's no indication that what he did was immoral. And this would lead to UnreliableNarrator - it's the perpetrator that's narrating the story. And the narrator is a supremely bored high schooler.

* MemeticBadass: An in-universe example. Even though the clip clearly shows him being terrible at being a superhero, because he refuses to give up the fight, he becomes so popular that he inspires a comic based on himself as a legitimate superhero along the lines of ComicBook/GreenArrow or Franchise/{{Batman}}.

** Then subverted by...most of the comic after that point. To start with, getting stabbed and hit by a car gave him just enough, very specific nerve damage to stop feeling almost any pain.

* AscendedFanboy: [[spoiler:He is a massive comic book geek who financed his vigilantism by selling classic comic books like [[SpiderMan Amazing Fantasy #15]]...]]

* JustForFun/XMeetsY:[[invoked]] "She was like [[{{Rambo}} John Rambo]] meets Polly Pocket."

** His surname is a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty_Genovese Kitty Genovese]], a woman who was murdered apparently without her neighbors bothering to intervene (the situation may have been more complex, but that was the public perception). This incident is commonly cited as sparking the [[http://www.worldsuperheroregistry.com/ real-life superhero movement]].

* BlatantLies: Marty tells Justice Forever a story involving his parents being killed & eaten in front of him to serve as his motivation for becoming a vigilante. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Dave immediately sees through it & reveals that it's all a lie]].

* EvilCounterpart: He is this to Kick-Ass. While Dave was inspired by the heroes in the comics, Chris was inspired by the villains (even quoting TheJoker before setting up his AvengingTheVillain story-line in Volume Two).

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: "She was like [[{{Rambo}} John Rambo]] meets Polly Pocket."

* XMeetsY: "She was like [[{{Rambo}} John Rambo]] meets Polly Pocket."

%% ** Which almost becomes HilariousInHindsight when you take into account that the [[NicolasCage actor]] who played Big Daddy in the movie [[spoiler:once famously sold his comic collection for a ton of money]].

* {{Determinator}}: Perhaps the only real power he possesses is the fact that he never, ''ever'' gives up. Even when [[spoiler:he gets strapped to a chair and gets his testicles electrocuted for half an hour, his plan for getting out of it is to get the mobsters to punch him until the chair breaks. Then he gets right back up and tells them to bring it. They do, but luckily Hit Girl returns just in time to eviscerate them all]]. Which is either pretty solid deconstruction or straightforward {{Badass}}. The fact he keeps at the whole superhero thing even when he knows full well that the world's not worth saving is ''supposed'' to be a gut-wrenching demonstration of the kind of depths of despair and nihilism he's fallen to, but it reads more like a very well written Moment of {{Badass}}.

* ImprobableAge: An eleven years old {{Badass}} with {{Charles Atlas Superpower}}s? If it wasn't [[RuleOfCool so awesome]] it would have really stretched the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.

%% * BlondesAreEvil

%% * [[spoiler:IJustWantToBeNormal: In Volume 2, until issue 5]]

%% * [[OneManArmy One Girl Army]]

%% * [[VigilanteMan Vigilante Girl]]

%% * [[spoiler: ZeroPercentApprovalRating]]

%% * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes[=/=]EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Despite his worst traits, he still cares about his family. His love for his mother [[spoiler:even motivated him to do rescue Mindy even if it kills him]].

%% * [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]

* TheAce: He's not one, but Justice Forever gladly accept his offer to join the team based on his reputation as one. Although he ''is'' one of the more competent and likely the most experienced hero.

* BigBadWannabe: Dave initially scoffs at the idea of Red Mist being out for vengeance against him. [[spoiler:However this trope was averted in Volume Two. So far he's raped Katie, arranged the murder of Dave's father, and is now planning to bomb the entire city of New York]]. [[spoiler:Subverted, however, in that when it comes down to it he's still just hiding behind his hired bodyguard. When he and Kick-Ass finally fight against each other in Volume 2 he gets his ass handed to him yet again]].

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[He dies saving Hit-Girl from corrupt cops, but not before he asks her to apologize to his mother on his behalf for traumatizing her with his crimes]].

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[He dies saving Hit-Girl from corrupt cops, but not before he asks her to apologize to his mother on his behalf for causing her pain]].

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Volume 3 reveals that as a child, [[spoiler:he used to be a fan of ''Franchise/{{X-Men}}'' to the point where he would dress up as Wolverine on a daily basis]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: After everything he went through, Kick-Ass ends the comic trilogy on a good note, [[spoiler:having hooked up with Valerie and choosing to give up the masked life and become a cop]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes[=/=]EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Despite his worst traits, he still cares about his family. His love for his mother [[spoiler:even motivated him to do rescue Mindy even if it kills him]].

* HeelRealization: In Volume 3, he realizes that his his mother, [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas whom he genuinely loved]], [[OffingTheOffspring tried to kill him in his hospital bed]] because his horrible spree ruined her life. He felt so guilty for causing her so much anguish that he has a HeelFaceTurn, does his best to help his former enemies Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass [[spoiler:and dies for his efforts.]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[He dies saving Hit-Girl from corrupt cops, but not before he asks her to apologize to his mother on his behalf for causing her pain.]]
