Despite fumbling a bit on the inside, he always manages to act in the most generically heroic way possible. The first chapter has him gleefully engaging in HamToHamCombat against a villain with similar motivations, and the finishing blow of another fight involved an unnecessary flip and ended with him [[RidingIntoTheSunset walking into the sunset]] without a word to the crowd who was watching.
