* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Began as an unemployed everyman.

Somehow is able to stand up to ancient deities and legendary creatures, most prominently in the second film where he's able to defeat Kahmunrah in a sword fight with [[ImprobableWeaponUser his flashlight]], despite seemingly having no formal training. A possible explanation is that because of his time around the exhibits, many of whom are or represent accomplished warriors, Larry might have picked up a trick or two.



* ImprobableWeaponUser: He uses a flashlight to defeat Kahmunrah in the second film. A case of TruthInTelevision, museum flashlights ARE built incredibly tough and museum guards often use them to try and subdue people.

to:

* TheHeart: What ultimately sets him apart from his predecessors, is that Larry is very empathetic which allows him to unite the exhibits and make everybody get along. Among other things, he encourages Attila to connect with his feelings, gets Teddy and Sacagawea together and frees Ahkmenrah from his sarcophagus, which earns him the pharaoh' gratitude and loyalty. While Larry arguably had ulterior motives (Cecil's scheme could have landed him in jail, and Ahkmenrah was the only one the jackal-headed statues would listen to), his care for the exhibits is genuine.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: He not only learns from his mistakes and becomes well-versed on history, archaeology, and other subjects related to the museum via his own research, he later graduates college and becomes a teacher.

Added DiffLines:

* GuileHero: Larry is ''extremely'' clever when he wants to be, has a sharp memory and eventually develops nerves of steel, and so solves most problems he runs into with lateral thinking, improvised solutions, and his own wits. This is especially noticeable when he goes up against the series' various villains, whom can always overpower him but never out''wit'' him.

* JiveTurkey: A RunningGag. She constantly speaks with a largely incomprehensible slew of 20's slang that [[TheUnintelligible Larry can barely understand]]. At one point Larry gets her to admit that she ''could'' speak more clearly without it, but that she chooses not to because it's more fun her way.

* ChummyMummy: Ahkmenrah is a pharaoh from over four thousand years ago and he is one of the friendliest and most reliable exhibits Larry has on his side.



* MatureYoungerSibling: Ahkmenrah is younger than his brother Kahmunrah, but far more sensible, down to earth and pleasant to be around, as opposed to his bloodthirsty, childish brother. It's easy to see, why his parents passed the throne to him instead.



* Really700YearsOld: About four thousand years old.

* Really700YearsOld: About four thousand years old.old, though you wouldn't know this from looking at him.


Added DiffLines:

* SophisticatedAsHell: For the most part, Ahkmenrah maintains a very formal if old-fashioned way of speaking, befitting a millenia old pharaoh. However his time around Larry did seem to rub off on him, seeing how in the third movie, after introducing him as the Guardian of Brooklyn, explains to Larry that "Guardian of Manhattan" just "doesn't sound as cool".


Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Kahmunrah absolutely despises his younger brother, so mentioning him, or even worse comparing him to Ahkmenrah is an excellent way to have a spear pointed at your throat.


Added DiffLines:

* ChildishOlderSibling: While being a few years older than Ahkmenrah he acts way more immature, being a bloodthirsty PsychopathicManchild.
