History Characters / SWATKats

* GirlFrida: To Mayor Manx. Even though nobody ever says it out loud, it's accepted by the people of Megakat City that she's the one they need to be looking up to.

* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Razor's blue.

* TheSmartGuy

* {{Angrish}}: Whenever he's angry.
** InelegantBlubbering: Whenever he's scared.

* DistressedDude: Seems to be his only real function in the show from a plot standpoint much of the time.

** DirtyCoward: The lovable part is completely thrown out the window in "The Giant Bacteria", when he and Callie are fleeing the titular monster and a helicopter shows to lift them to safety. Callie reaches the rope ladder first and barely even begins to climb when Manx actually shoves her off so he can climb first.
* MayorPain: Of the Incompetent variety.

* TheUnintelligible[=/=]{{Angrish}}: When he's angry or afraid (both of which happen frequently), Manx tends to just blather nonsensical gibberish.

* GirlFriday[=/=]HyperCompetentSidekick: To Mayor Manx. Even though nobody ever says it out loud, it's accepted by the people of Megakat City that she's the one they need to be looking up to.

* FirstNameBasis[=/=]MysteriousMiddleInitial: Just what does the "K" stand for, anyway?

* GenerationXerox: An inversion.

* LustObject: To The Pastmaster.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Callista.

* InscrutableOriental: To an extent.

* OffModel: He is usually shown with brown stripes on his arms when he wears short-sleeved tops, but in one particular episode, "Mutation City," he wears a tank top, fully exposing his arms, but the stripes are completely absent.

* [[VigilanteMan Vigilante Men]]: Being kicked out of the Enforcers allows them to deliver justice their own way, though they do cause some damage despite being more skilled and competent. Feral rightfully labels them as lawless vigilantes because of this, at least, and occasionally tries to arrest them.

An ancient sorcerer whose magical pocket watch functions as both a TimeTravel device and a weapon that shoots energy beams. This medieval miscreant wants to return present day Megakat City to its MiddleAges incarnation of Megalith City, but he's also known for creating "time vortexes" to bring monsters from the past (like [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaurs]] and {{mumm|y}}ies) into the present to do his bidding. And when he's not doing ''that'', he's sending the SWAT Kats into the past or future in his latest effort to get rid of them.

* [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful Bitch]]: Even though her cellmate Olga helped plan their escape from Alkatraz at the beginning of "Turmoil 2", when it comes time for them to leave, CardCarryingVillain Turmoil kicks her off the escape jet's rescue ladder.

* HornyDevils: A feline-flavored one.

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Dr. Viper turns him and the other converted kats into giant grub worms to do his bidding.]]

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Viper turns him into a giant scarab.]]

* CorruptHick: Given his Southern accent.

* CryCute: During "Katastrophe", Dark Kat manages to destroy the Turbo Kat, believing that he finally killed the Swat Kats. For the end of that sequence, she's shown in shock and some tears start to roll down her eyes.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: At the end of "Metal Urgency", he is presented with the perfect opportunity to get rid of the SWAT Kats. All he has to do is let the Metallikats go, and they'll tell him the SWAT Kats' secret identities. He refuses, and shoots them both.

* NeverMyFault: Back when Chance and Jake were still Enforcers, they had cornered Dark Kat, only for Feral to order them to fall back [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou and let him handle it]]. When they refused, he actually knocked their jet out of the sky and into Enforcer headquarters, causing significant damage to the building and allowing Dark Kat to escape. Feral flat-out refused to acknowledge that the entire mess was ''his'' fault, even after Chance point-blank told him so. Feral instead placed all the blame on Chance and Jake, kicking them off the force and sentencing them to work at the salvage yard until they pay off the damages. It actually makes Chance and Jake upstaging him as the SWAT Kats throughout the series very satisfying.

* HeroAntagonist: The chief of police in Megakat City, who also wants to arrest the SWAT Kats. His interference also sometimes gets in the way of the SWAT Kats solving problems that they could have otherwise gotten over.

* {{Determinator}}: She often won't take no for an answer and won't stop until she's accomplished whatever task she has set herself to. Provided, of course, it is still possible for her to do so. If not, she [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Knows When to Fold 'Em]].

* ObliviousToLove: Is almost completely oblivious to Callie's feelings towards him.

-->"I don't deal with ''scum''."

%%* OurLichesAreDifferent: While he may not be called a lich, he fits the image: a skeletal, undead-looking Evil Sorceror who makes a big deal out of being immortal. His first appearance shows him reanimating two skeletons to do his bidding, and a later one has him calling up an army of giant mummies. His pocket watch seems to be the source of his power (he's unable to do magic when it's stolen in one episode), but whether it's an actual Soul Jar is never addressed.

* ManChild: He sometimes acts like a spoiled child, such as when the Metallicats took his watch in "A Bright and Shiny Future".

%%* OurLichesAreDifferent

* TheLadette: To date, she is the only female Enforcer apart from two female dispatchers (who are only heard as voices on the radio).

* {{Tomboy}}: While female, she has a hard jawline and prominent cheekbones, giving her a somewhat boyish appearance, and in addition, she dresses in a men's (or at least unisex) uniform and does stereotypical masculine things like shoot laser guns, fly helicopters and shoot monsters and bad guys. The one feminine thing she's ever shown doing is fixing her hair after taking her helmet off in "When Strikes Mutilor", 'cause no one wants helmet hair.

--> '''Cmdr. Feral''' ''(coldly):'' I don't '''work''' with '''''scum.'''''

* {{Meganekko}}: She's never seen without her glasses.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has a big pink mane. It's probably dyed.
