[003] Eagal Current Version
Changed line(s) 2 from:
n
** Archer is TheLeader, \
to:
** Archer is TheLeader, \\\"The World\\\'s Most Dangerous Spy\\\".
** Lana is TheLancer, who works closest with Archer and is his direct foil.
** Pam is TheBigGuy, who has superhuman strength, practices bare knuckle boxing and is generally batshit crazy.
** Cyril is TheSmartGuy, who was the nerdy accountant and is TheStrategist of the group.
** Cheryl is TheChick, though her deranged and seductive behavior makes her more TheDarkChick.
** Malory can also TheLeader as she\\\'s technically the boss and MadScientist Dr. Krieger and StraightMan Ray can also be TheSmartGuy.

I have pulled this example as shoe-horning. The first time it referred to Cyril as TheChick, though TheChick must be AlwaysFemale, in addition to shoe-horning in Cheryl, Krieger and Mallory despite initially describing the field agents, of which there are five (Archer, Lana, Cyril, Ray and Pam).

The second version, listed here, expands the description to encompass the whole cast, though a FiveManBand by definition only contains five characters. Additionally, while it\\\'s true that Cyril is intelligent, it\\\'s rare that this is the role he fulfills, as he is far too neurotic and ineffectual to do much of anything.

TheChick is the heart of the group, the peacekeeper and so on. It\\\'s safe to say that Cheryl is anything but. Sterling may be the main character, but his actual leadership skills are severely lacking and his role mostly involves fighting.

Ray, like Cyril, is intelligent and reasonably competent, but only when he can be bothered to actually do his job instead of binge eating or arguing with Archer. His role is definitely not TheSmartGuy.
