History Main / EnemyMime

* An episode of ''HighlanderTheSeries'' featured an [[MurderInc group]] of [[ProfessionalKiller assassins]] who used pantomime as a cover. They were led by an evil Immortal called Christoph Kuyler.

Some Enemy Mime villains have ''Mime Powers'', such as the ability to erect an invisible wall or conjure an unheard gale-force wind which one must walk against. Others simply use gadgets to leech the world of sound and color, and hope and fluffy things right along with it. May or may not be affected by the [[StandardStatusAilments "silence" condition]] when fought against.

* Mr. Mime has been released several times in the [[TabletopGame/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. A common theme among them is their ability to reduce or negate battle damage via their invisible walls.

* Norm from [[Crash Nitro Kart]], although he is mostly an aversion as he is being forced to race against you. His overweight other half on the other hand, is more than willing to kick your butt.
* Although he too is a subversion, as he is a gracious loser. Just don't call him a clown.

* The Franchise/{{Batman}}/ SinCity crossover ''FanFic/ADarkKnightOverSinCity'' features a gang of "guys in mime makeup" led by the Joker.

* The mime in [[http://www.garfield.com/comics/vault.html?yr=1994&addr=940501 this]] ''{{Garfield}}'' strip ''probably'' isn't evil, but he ''obviously'' doesn't like it when people hit on his girlfriend, as Jon found out the hard way.

* Somewhat subverted in ''RobinHoodMenInTights'' when the villainous Sheriff of Rottingham and Prince John watch a mime, decide to kill him, and then change their minds. [[IncrediblyLamePun "A mime is a terrible thing to waste."]]

* In the book ''[[TheEschatonSeries Singularity Sky]]'' by CharlesStross, there are monstrous mimes, near-dead white creatures who attack by throwing flesh eating, nanobot-filled pies at people. They never rest or sleep, but occasionally get stuck in invisible boxes.

* Strings (merely called "the Pantomimer" in the Japanese version) in ''Anime/YuGiOh'', is a rather strange example, seeming like more of a punk anarchist/goth with his shaved head, eyeshadow, and multiple piercings. Nevertheless, he is referred to as a mime in both versions, even though his only "trick" was standing still on a park bench without moving a muscle (easy to do, as Marik {{Brainwashed}} him into his minion, and seems to have destroyed his real mind in the process).
** Standing ''that'' still is impressive in real life.

* In an episode of ''ThePowerPuffGirls'', there is a clown who is genuinely good and just entertaining a child at his party. When he gets hit by a tidal wave of bleach, he goes crazy and turns into Mr. Mime ([[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} no relation]]) who tries to silence the whole town and drain its color. When the girls restore the clown back to his normal, innocent self, he's [[DisproportionateRetribution beaten to a pulp and put in jail anyway]]. Even ''[[InteractiveNarrator the Narrator]]'' approved of this.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Mr. Mime and and its previous form Mime Jr. Naturally, they learn moves like Barrier, Reflect, Light Screen, Trick, Role Play, Mimic, and Follow Me.

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* "The Icon" Wrestler/{{Sting}} played with this trope in {{WCW}} during the fall of 1996 and most of 1997, effectively creating an enormously popular new wrestling character in the process. After being framed by HulkHogan's New World Order, Sting announced that he was going to go into seclusion for a while until he thought of a way to [[ClearMyName clear his name]]. As he made this announcement, the audience could see that his "UltimateWarrior"-style greasepaint had begun to consume his face in a bizarre and unsettling literal example of BecomingTheMask, bleaching everything but his nose, lips, and lower jaw clown-white. The following week, Sting appeared in the rafters above the arena with a ''completely'' white face, black lips, and black Gothic "crosses" over his eyes, making him look suspiciously like a mime (although Sting's portrayer, Steve Borden, would eventually admit in an interview that the makeup design was suggested to him by nWo member ScottHall as a tribute to Brandon Lee's appearance in the movie version of ''Film/TheCrow''). Not only that, but Sting [[TheVoiceless did not speak a single word]] while wearing the whiteface for over a year (finally blurting out an insult to Hogan in anger after he was stripped of the WCW Championship). In the meantime, he kept showing up in the ring (sometimes via the rafters and sometimes via the crowd) with a black baseball bat, attacking the nWo or silently subjecting his former allies to a series of "loyalty tests." The whiteface, black bat, and BadassLongcoat that Sting also wore would go on to become key parts of his wrestling [[StealthPun iconography]] and are still part of his signature look today (although he now speaks quite frequently, and has hardly ever been a heel since). Long story short: While Sting was never supposed to be taken as a mime, [[FanNickname his fans took to nicknaming him things like "The Sad Mime" or "The Angry Mime."]]

* Though barely seen in the movie, the videogame version of ''VideoGame/TheWarriors'' features a street-gang consisting entirely of mimes. Known as the Hi-Hats, the only one of them that talks is their stuttering leader, who's clearly more of a MonsterClown anyway. They also use blades as their signature weapon, which -- barring two appearances of firearms -- are the most powerful weapons in the game.

* "Bomb Voyage", a briefly-seen villain from the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', is a French mime who uses explosives to perpetrate his crimes. He also speaks, but only in French.

* In ''Film/{{Batman}}'', when the Joker assassinates Ricorso in broad daylight, his [[{{Mooks}} goons]] first show up dressed as mimes (presumably so they don't appear overtly dangerous to the cops, the press, or the gangsters) and then spray machine gun fire over a crowd to cover his escape. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Their mime disguises are never used again.]].

* ''TotallySpies!'' has Jazz Hands, a Mime Villain hell-bent on showing the world the beauty of his craft, usually by converting people into mimes. At first he seems to be a poor mime himself, as he never seems to shut up, but [[LetsGetDangerous when he does buckle down he gives the heroines quite a tough time]].

* There was a one-shot {{Batman}} villainness who was a mime. That's about it.

* The {{Batman}}/ SinCity crossover ''FanFic/ADarkKnightOverSinCity'' features a gang of "guys in mime makeup" led by the Joker.

* In ''Film/{{Batman}}'', when the Joker assassinates Grissom in broad daylight, his [[{{Mooks}} goons]] first show up dressed as mimes (presumably so they don't appear overtly dangerous to the cops, the press, or the gangsters) and then spray machine gun fire over a crowd to cover his escape. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Their mime disguises are never used again.]].

** Note: They were ultimately cut from the film, and are only named in the trailer; they weren't developed any further than that until the video game adaptation was released thirty years later.

* In ''{{Batman}}'' for the SegaGenesis, there's an entire level filled with mimes. The small mime enemy attacks with jump kicks while the fat mime breathes fire.
