History Characters / MikeTysonMysteries

* BadassBoast: When he retired, he made a promise that only two things would ever make him raise his fists again: if he ever got access to a time machine, he'd go back in time and beat up Adolf Hitler, and if given the chance, he'd beat up the Grand Wizard of the KKK. Unfortunately, he beat up Casparov, the Grand ''MASTER'' of chess instead. Of course, he's beaten several other people as well, but not intentionally.

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: ...Yet somehow he was right about Cormac [=McCarthy=] being a centaur. And about 'Ain't Got No Time For Bird Sex' being a song and [[spoiler: that Mexican guy at the bar in "Is Magic Real?" being a leprechaun]]. It's possible that he is in actuality a master of BatDeduction and ObfuscatingInsanity.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: He's wound up causing the deaths of several astronomers behind the wheel, so much that some of them believe that in a conspiracy theory that someone's out to get them.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He may be a moron, but FUCK he's one tough motherfucker. For starters, he is shown punching out a T Rex and thats just the beginning.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Cold-cocks TheDevil himself in "Tent Revival"

* PapaWolf: Whenever Yung is in trouble, he jumps right into saving her and push anything and anyone out of his way.
** Assaults a Chupacabra and The Devil to protect Yung in two different episodes.
* ScaryBlackMan: This ''is'' Mike Tyson we're talking about. Oddly enough Mike is trying hard to avert this image, most of the time he's only scary once you realize how dangerously unhinged he is.
** Pigeon LampShades this trope when he asks Marquess if he was afraid that Mike was going to punch him out in one instance.

* WalkingDisasterArea: Mike's extremely stupid decisions ruin the lives of the people involved in the mystery.

* OnlySaneMan: Despite his {{Jerkass}} tendencies, he along with Hee are among the few who actually seem aware of the level of utter ridiculousness Mike gets into, and will often [[BrutalHonesty bluntly]] [[JerkassHasAPoint point it out.]]

* DistractedByTheSexy: Yung forgets all about Pigeon's jerkassery the moment she sees pictures of his real look, to the point she doesn't seem bothered with the fact he's still a pigeon.

** Possibly retconned to that [[spoiler: he willingly had himself turned into a pigeon to escape the Albanian mafia. It's a little unclear how much of that actually happened and how much was part of an act. On one hand, the Albanian hitman who was after him seemed to be real. On the other hand, the episode that mentions this originally brought up Sandra's spell. "Time to Fly" reveals that it was indeed all an act, and that turning himself into a pigeon to avoid the hitman was a lie to trick Deezy]].

Mike's agent, he occasionally joins in on the team's mysteries.

* NotSoDifferent: To Pigeo. They're both loathed by the team to varying degrees, they both have practically nothing going on with their lives, and they both mooch off of Mike and live in his house due to having little money.

* MissingMom: Yung Hee wonders why her mom abandoned her on Mike's doorstep when she was a baby.

-->'''"I think we forget sometimes that he's '''MIKE FREAKING TYSON'''! He could kill us all!'''

* {{Hammerspace}}: Keeps a revolver as big as he is [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext in his pocket.]]

* AdamWesting: Mike Tyson voices himself.

* LadyLooksLikeADude: Several people have mistaken her for a boy. Her tracksuits dont help, but even wearing a school unifirm doesnt show much.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Everyone refers to him as "Marcus", not realizing that Marquess is a title and not a name, and he never corrects them on this. His real name is the same as the real 9th Marquess of Queensbury, John Douglas. He eventually calls out the team on misnaming him as them being monstrously ignorant and him not giving a crap anymore.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Everyone refers to him as "Marcus", not realizing that Marquess is a title and not a name, and he never corrects them on this. The name of the real 9th Marquess of Queensbury was John Douglas.

* FakeMemories: He will tend to remember the wrong memory, like thinking Yung told him to stop living for himself when she was a baby despite the fact that babies can't talk and it was actually Marquess who told him to stop living for himself.

* WasOnceAMan: [[CaptainObvious Now he's a pigeon.]]
