%%!!BʞR-6000 Police Robot ("Bakkup")

->'''Portrayed By:''' John Hodgman

* GutturalGrowler: In a Creator/ChristianBale sort of way. His mask distorts his voice into a deep growl. [[spoiler:A deeper growl, that is -- he's pretty guttural without it, in generic antihero fashion.]]

* BadassNormal: Doesn't seem to have any superpowers himself, just gadgets.

* BewareTheSuperman: As he goes increasingly off the rails in Season 2. [[spoiler:Then there's his idea of going back in time by [[Film/{{Superman}} flying around the Earth and reversing its orbit]]. Of course, if it goes wrong... "[[TalkativeLoon Seven billion monkeys]]... [[ApocalypseHow boiling in the void]]..."]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Very evil, very violent, and very well-endowed.

* LongTitle: His new title after [[spoiler:Rathbone is killed]] is the full title of "[[spoiler:Acting Agent Commander Doctor Agent Hobbes]]". It's a mouthful.
-->'''Hobbes:''' You'll get it.

* BadassBaritone: Deep and smooth.

* GoldTooth: Sports an entire set of them [[spoiler:after he's shown to have faked his own death]].

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: His modus operandi when it comes to crime (hence his name) is to basically kill all the criminals, normally in [[NoKillLikeOverKill the most brutal way possible]].
* NoKillLikeOverkill: It's right in the name. His very first scene has him killing one thug by stabbing him in the top of the head.

* CrazyIsCool: Lex Luthor's ambition and operating budget combined with the Joker's nihilistic insanity and ability to improvise. [[spoiler:Superian says the "secret" to the Terror's plans is that they don't make sense, and Arthur goes out of his way to complain about how dumb his current one is. That doesn't change the fact that it almost worked.]]

* {{Nerd}}: An awkward, clumsy, good-natured guy who wears NerdGlasses.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Ty '''"Tyrannosaurus"''' Rathbone.

* KnifeNut: He's not opposed to using guns, but he favors blades and has a pair of scissors that can come apart for DualWielding.

* NiceHat: The Tick certainly thinks so.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: He watched his father die right in front of him, at the hands of Terror, during the same attack where he wiped out the Flag Five. Then the Terror outright mocked him about it and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking stole his Ice-cream]], with a photo of it ending up ''[[UpToEleven on the cover of]]'' ''Magazine/TimeMagazine''. It was this tragic day that sparked Arthur's obsession towards finding The Terror. Even the [[GoodCopBadCop police interrogators]] questioning him suddenly become more gentle after learning about this.

* FoeYay: With Ms. Lint. They've crossed paths before. [[spoiler:When he was still Straight Shooter, the Terror had her [[DatingCatwoman seduce him]] in order to get the access codes to the Flag Five's Flagship.]] In the present, they clearly remain attracted to each other (though as Dot notes, in a ''very'' dysfunctional way).

* FoeYay: With Overkill. Back when Overkill was still [[spoiler:Straight Shooter, the Terror had Ms. Lint [[DatingCatwoman seduce him]] in order to get the access codes to the Flag Five's Flagship]], and by the time of the series they clearly remain attracted to each other (though as Dot notes, in a ''very'' dysfunctional way).
