Spencer knows he's meeting some new people, and decides to quickly summarize his main character traits
* '''Exploited''':???Spencer is a BullyMagnet. Knowing that you only get one chance to make a first impression, [[WoundedGazelleGambit his bullies provoke him into attacking them right before a new acquaintance walks in]] in order to make him look like an AxCrazy maniac.
* '''Exploited''':
* '''Deconstructed''': The first five seconds of acquaintance with someone isn't enough to get an accurate bead on their personality. Spencer turns out to be an IdiotSavant who is good at quantum physics and nothing else, and people constantly treating him as a GeniusBruiser outside of his field causes him to make mistakes that get people killed.

Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A character's first scene introduces the audience to just who this character will be.
* '''Straight''': Spencer, the GeniusBruiser, shows off this trait in his introductory scene by reading a book on quantum physics before single-handedly fighting off a bunch of {{mooks}}.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Every character's first scene tells you exactly who they'll be.
** All of Spencer's prominent traits are revealed in his first scene.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Spencer being a GeniusBruiser is an important part of his character, but his most well-defined trait is showing that RealMenWearPink, which isn't revealed until later.
** Spencer's first real appearance is a minor cameo, but his first full appearance is a better look at who he really is.
* '''Justified''': Being a GeniusBruiser is Spencer's defining trait, so why ''wouldn't'' he show this at an early moment?
* '''Inverted''': The audience doesn't get to find out who Spencer is until his last appearance in the series.
* '''Subverted''':
** Spencer's first appearance shows him jumping out of a helicopter to fight off the villains... but then he turns out to be TheWoobie.
** Spencer is set up as a GeniusBruiser, but eventually undergoes {{flanderization}} to the point in which he loses the "genius" part and becomes more of a DumbMuscle.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** While Spencer ''is'' TheWoobie, he's also a HurtingHero / HeartbrokenBadass.
** [[ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat Spencer later becomes a genius again]], and/or shows that he was ObfuscatingStupidity.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': The first scene doesn't show the audience what Spencer is like.
* '''Enforced''': The creators want the audience to know right off the bat what kind of character Spencer will be.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''':
** "I suppose first impressions really ''do'' matter. Spencer's first appearance on that show had him read that book on quantum physics before beating up those guys, and I just knew he was gonna be a smart, strong guy."
** "I wonder why the first scene a character is in will always tell you just who they're gonna be."
