Hell, in a commercial of the first game, Butcher biting off a chuck of Afro Thunder's hair parodies Tyson biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear.

* BreakTheHaughty: His arrogance caused him to turn on his former mentor Gino Stilleto (a [=PlayStation=] exclusive character from the first game). Stilleto then faced Flurry in the ring and [[CurbstompBattle curbstomped]] him, which lead to his CharacterDevelopment in the second game, though he still has a bit of a smug attitude.

%%* OldMaster

to:

%%* OldMaster* OldMaster: Not ''old''-old, but he's an multi-time champion, and had been out of the game long enough to become a successful boxing coach for J.R. Flurry before the latter's arrogance got the best of him. When they faced each other in the ring for the final time, Gino made it clear that age and retirement did little to diminish his skills, and [[CurbstompBattle flattened]] his former student.



* RetiredBadass: Though his initial retirements didn't always stick, they did little to regress his skills in the ring; something J.R. Flurry learned the hard way.



* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: His default shorts rock the colors of the Itallian flag.

* LimitedWardrobe: Averted without crossing over into UnlimitedWardrobe, and also a strange example: Jackson has four costumes to choose from, which is twice more than what the other secret characters have: Two based on his military suits (worn during the ''Dangerous'' Tour), and two based on [[{{Music/Dangerous}} "Jam" & "Black Or White"]]. The latter two are designated as "Championship Outfits", which he shouldn't have, as none of the secret characters can be used in Championship Mode, and thusly shouldn't have any other extra outfits.

One of his moves is a [[Film/{{Moonwalker}} 45-degree lean]], two of his standard outfits are based off the military suits he wore on the ''Dangerous'' tour, and the other two are based off the outfits he wore for his music vidoes "Jam," and the infamous "Panther" ending from "Black or White." And when in "Rumble" mode, tiles under his feet light up, a la "Billie Jean."
