Strong Bad

Background: Strong Bad is a fictional character from the internet animated series "Homestar Runner," known for his antagonistic yet humorous personality. Strong Bad is a regular resident of Free Country, USA, often found in his room, engaging in various activities such as drawing, playing retro video games and answering viewer emails. He is the middle child to Strong Mad (His older brother) and Strong Sad (His little brother), all three making up The Brothers Strong.

Appearance: Strong Bad presents himself as a macho Mexican wrestler, always seen wearing a distinctive red lucha libre mask with a blue diamond and black markings, red boxing gloves (Which he claims are A+ #1 All-Pro Panache), Shiny black pants, and matching red shoes. He has perfectly green eyes and doesn't wear a shirt (To show off his abs, despite having a lack of abs).

Interests: Strong Bad has a keen interest in answering emails from people with a passion. Before checking a email, he'll often sing a short random jingle. Strong Bad makes fun of the sender's grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about his own, often sending sarcastic and comically exaggerated responses to emails. He also hates to be asked about how he manages to type with boxing gloves on. Strong Bad deletes any email that particularly annoys him, but some emails are especially susceptible. In particular, any time he receives emails including the question "How do you type with boxing gloves on?" or other such clichés, he promptly deletes them.

Strong Bad has shown to have some artistic capacity, occasionally drawing his own comic series (Teen Girl Squad) or drawing things like dragons like Trogdor the Burninator.

He has also "written" at least 5 books: Everyone is Different, Strumstar Hammer, That Time of Year, Tubky the Typo-Named Tub, and The Ocelot and the Porridge Maiden.

Strong Bad has sung many self-proclaimed hit singles, his most popular being "Everybody to the Limit", which The Cheat made an animated music video of. He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "Dangeresque" He loves metal and metal bands, especially Limozeen, Taranchula, and Peter Frampton. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered metal, such as Sloshy. Strong Bad has a deep love for older technology such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games (especially those made by Videlectrix) and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "Awexome Cross '98", and "Trogdor Con '97" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Strong Bad is also a expert Poker player.

Strong Bad is the self proclaimed ruler of a country named after himself - Strong-Badia. In reality this country is just a barren plot of dirt, a white fence, a stop sign, a cinder block and a tire.

He dislikes vulnerability and mocks people he perceives as weak or sensitive. Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a muscle man, and totally popular with the ladies, though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this, however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "really [doesn't] like him at all." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is obviously untrue.

Abilities: Even though Strong Bad's name, as well as those of his brothers Strong Mad and Strong Sad, imply that they are physically strong, Strong Bad's true strength is demonstrated with ambiguity in the Homestar Runner universe.
