History WMG / MadnessCombat

While there is comparatively little to suggest that he was arrogant before, it's nerveless apparent that Hank started fighting smarter AFTER being put in the tank and supposedly had his intelligence reduced. Obviously, the chamber stripped away any arrogance, distraction, self-doubt, fears or other miscellaneous thoughts Hank had, leaving behind a monster with the low cunning common to wolves and similar smart predators.

* An ''Incident'' episode has him interupt a birthday party by killing everyone. As far as canon episodes go, yeah he's mostly focused on Hank. From episode 5 onward, his life revolves around torturing, killing and reviving Hank or anyone with a comparable strenght (like Jebus or Sanford). It wouldn't be fun for him to do the same to random civilians, so he wasn't aggressive the the hotdog vendor.

That's why Jebus is so different from the actual JesusChrist despite impersonating him. It's because he's trying to emulate the nature of that universe's Jesus, since in the fic, Jesus was described as a "legendary warrior".

* The Auditor wishes to continue the Madness and violence, the same as the Higher Powers and is possibly working for them. LawfulEvil
* Saviour/Jebus wishes a peaceful return to normality. LawfulNeutral
* Tricky/Clown is a rogue program who has no real goals. ChaoticEvil
* Hank just kills things. He seems to have a rivalry with the normality seeking Saviour and the Madness seeking Auditor. ChaoticNeutral OR TrueNeutral
* Deimos and Sanford are pursuing an unknown agenda, although they seem to have been fighting the Auditor mostly. NeutralGood (?)

First, it may explain why does Hank have SuperStrength and is[[Main/MadeOfIron so hard to kill]]. Second, one of the inspirations for Hank was the [[Film/TheTerminator Terminator]], so it would make sense thematically. Third, the goggles that Hank has are really similar to the things that the Soldats have surgically drafted into their skulls. Fourth, Hank's jaw was replaced by metal after ressurrecting, who says that another one of his body parts weren't replaced in a similar way?

[[WMG: The Higher Powers are actually [[AWolfInSheepsClothing US]].]]

[[WMG: WebAnimation/MadnessCombat takes place in Film/TheMatrix or a similar universe.]]

Not so much a Matrix scenario (though Krinkels has drawn some pretty obvious references to ''Film/TheMatrix''), maybe more like ''Film/{{Tron}}'': Nevada is a hard drive, and those inhabiting it are programs and whatnot. The Auditor and antagonists of the like are viruses deteriorating the hard drive, which the protagonists - the anti-virus programs - are trying to stop, but there's all this mess because everything is infected and corrupted and running improperly. Madness Combat 1 demonstrated a situation where all was normal and working, with Hank fighting off some malware in the 'park'. Then in ''Avenger'', the activation of the Improbability Drive was something akin to the opening of a Trojan horse file and all hell broke loose with the computer glitching and going haywire. This explains the ability of characters to resurrect in the early series. The random flashing texts are also part of this, since they relay what is actually going on with the system (e.g. "KEYSTONE FRAGMENT COMPROMISED").

It's been confirmed that Deimos is shorter than Hank and Sanford, which may imply that he's short in general, then we have the ''Deimos Adventure'' series that takes place in some kind of hell that psychologically tortures Deimos by showing Sanford dying (Anamnesis.fla) and by remembering him of his own death (Powerless.fla). But the last episode has him fight some giant {{mooks}} who might be a representation of his insecurities, one poster (either from 2BDamned or from hell itself) also says "WE ALWAYS THOUGHT you were a ''little'' on the ''small'' side" which sounds like taunting. Lastly the fact that Deimos beat up all the giant Mooks on his way with ease may be a metaphor of how he managed to overcome his insecurities. After all, being short isn't too bad when you can overpower an army of people who are twice your size.

[[WMG: Madness Combat 12 will have the Auditor as the VillainProtagonist.]]

Which explains [[UnstoppableRage his willingness to rip magnified denizens of Hell apart with ''bare hands'']].

[[WMG: After losing his jaw in the purgatory Deimos got his mouth sealed shut so he can ''never smoke again''.]]

Did you ever see Tricky actively harming/going after ''anyone other'' than Hank or Jebus? I didn't[[note]]well except that single unfortunate fellow in Tricky Madness 2 which Krinkels himself disavowed so it doesn't really count, does it?[[/note]]. Not only that. In ep. 6 Tricky casually buys a hot dog. He doesn't steal it or threaten the vendor guy in any way. Hell, in ep. 4 he even throws a disco party for regular A.A.H.W. mooks. Considering all this Tricky doesn't seem to be really that bad. He may be a raving lunatic but that's the result of [[ItsPersonal Hank sending him over the edge]].

Just look at what happens in ''An Experiment'' when the poor guy's hands are forcibly separated from him by that dumbwaiter. Not even the Improbability Drive can such RealityBreakingParadox.

* Confirmed by Chase and Sacrifice, as they feature a new design to be later used on Deimos.

** Seemingly hinted at by [[https://twitter.com/MRKrinkels/status/1101345183403311104 this tweet]] from Krinkels.

* Before becoming a zombie, Tricky was a SmugSnake personality wise, but otherwise was largely stable and is more than likely to deliver a quick, clean kill to his enemies, but being killed by Hank and then revived by the Improbability Drive did a number on his sanity from the resulting VillainousBreakdown he had and the otherworldly powers that affected his mind, and a majority of his behavior as a zombie stems from his obsession with Hank, such as how he uses a stop sign, the very thing that Hank used to kill him as a weapon.

The environment depicted in it from the previews on his Twitch Stream are similar, plus, the blood of the Mooks Hank fights is black, similar to Deimos's injured state and Sanford's messed up injuries in 11.
