** And predating both, good ole' Red Blaster in ''MetalGear2SolidSnake'', [[CeilingCling standing in the ceiling]] and chucking grenades at you.
** All games also provide Snake with usable grenades and even a grenade launcher at times.
* From ''PanzerBandit'', playable character [[GunsAkimbo Ein]] can throw bombs two-at-a-time or roll a single one towards his target. His MirrorBoss Tsuvai can only throw two bombs in a close mortar-like angle.

** In terms of characters using bombs, ''Fatal Shadows'' has Hitoha, who uses incendiary bombs along his fire gauntlets.
* From the classic ''Game/MegaMan'' series there are several Robot Master, like Bomb Man (''1''), Crash Man (''2''), Napalm Man (''6'') and Grenade Man (''8'').
* Doctrine Dark from ''StreetFighterEX'' is themed around using bombs in several ways. And [[RazorFloss wire. Lots of wire]].
* One of the [[DualBoss twin]] Smith Bros. in ''SunsetRiders'' is this, chucking bombs at you while the other [[PyroManiac does the same with candles to try to set you on fire]].

* In the anime ''GunsmithCats'', "Minnie" May Hopkins has a [[{{understatement}} slight tendency]] to use home-made hand grenades in inappropriate situations. Typically they are only smoke grenades, but when you set off ''[[NoKillLikeOverkill a dozen of them at once]]'', it still tends to cause extensive damage to whatever building you were in (typically shown with a DiscretionShot of the outside of the building with all the windows breaking and billowing out smoke)

A person who wields grenades as a weapon of choice will frequently be portrayed as having poor impulse control. They may feel about explosions the same way a pyromaniac feels about fire. As such, this trope frequently overlaps with MadBomber. They may also have a "fiery" or carefree personality. Oddly, there are a small number of grenadiers who are coldly logical and controlled in temperament, perhaps to contrast their fiery and out-of-control weapons.

* Characters specializing in the Throwing skill in ''JaggedAlliance 2'' can be trained as one of these after they're given a proper supply of grenades. Very useful on night maps: grenades don't give away ''your'' position, for one, and the same skill applies to throwing knives, which can OneHitKill unaware enemies.
