* ObliviouslyEvil: Bryce White, the White Knight. The telltale signs of him being a paragon of racism are there, from his KKK attire, to swastikas on the soles of his shoes, to a Confederate flag on his cape, to a burning cross appearing on his back when he activates White Flight, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking to filling his coffee mug to the brim with cream]]. However, all of this is just a fashion sense to him, and he doesn't arrest only black people because they're black. Rather, his White Sight blinds him to the truth and labels all black people as criminals. In reality, the White Knight doesn't care about what race you are at all; if only he didn't have his White Sight.

* TheJuggernaut: The Link parody Lunk is a hulking beast of a man that either walks through every obstacle in his way or overcomes it in over the top fashion. He bypasses a BrokeBridge over a river of lava by bending the lava flow itself into the sky. He fishes by using the rod to pull the sun out of the sky to evaporate bodies of water and flash fry the fish. His father, who is utterly terrified of him, says he got that way from being overfed goat milk growing up.
