History Characters / MadWorld

The boss of Mad Castle Dungeon, Rank 36. He was created from dead fighters to serve as a [=DeathWatch=] contestant and has done so in the past. He is a giant who resembles [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein's Monster.

* AwfulWeddedLife: None of Howard's comments about his life with his ex-wife are flattering. Their divorce was similarly quite devastating, such as his ex openly stating that Howard's brother preformed better in bed.

The first sub-boss of Madworld, he's found in Varrigan Station. He returns in VideoGame/AnarchyReigns as a playable character.

* AscendedExtra: He's just a miniboss in this game, but winds up becoming both a boss AND a playable character in Anarchy Reigns.

* DirtyCoward: He'll use his drill to escape from Jack whenever he his health gets too low, only to ambush him later.

* ShoutOut: A gigantic man being easily killed in an extremely violent way that results in his head exploding by a {{Stoic}} badass wearing a jumpsuit to demonstrate how powerful the latter character is. [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hmmmm... Now where have I heard of that before?]]...

* WarmUpBoss: Little Eddie has an extremely simple pattern, is easy to put into a stunned state, and has a Power Struggle that can knock off a ''quarter'' of his health.

The boss of Varrigan City Downtown, Rank 124. He is a cowboy-wannabee, Kill Seeker, and regular participant in [=DeathWatch=] who's competing for the tenth time in a row. Displaying mocking politeness to Jack, he is a violent and speedy gunslinger with roller blades on his boots and the "brokest back in the west".

* ShoutOut: Given [=MadWorld=]'s comic book inspired artstyle, it's likely that him highly being implied to be a Nazi is a reference to the many "Nazi Supervillains" created around the time of World War II.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Von Twirlenkiller hits ''way'' harder than Little Eddie or Jude, only has occasional moments of vulnerability, and is the first boss where you ''need'' to win the Power Struggles to progress the fight.

The boss of Mad Castle Dungeon, Rank 36. He was created from dead fighters to serve as a [=DeathWatch=] contestant and has done so in the past. He is a giant who resembles Frankenstein's Monster.

* InformedAttribute: He's apparently a GeniusBruiser (though Kreese describes him as "dumb as a box full of blondes" in his intro), but aside from his arena featuring an electric chair which he heals himself with and a pool of water to conduct his electric attacks with, he doesn't seem that intelligent, especially since he speaks in broken english.

* ShownTheirWork: He's made from the toughest parts of the toughest fighters, a parallel to how Frankenstein's Monster was carefully made by his creator using only the best parts and made to deliberately be beautiful.

* ComedicSpanking: After destroying her wings, Jack finishes her off by putting her over his knee and giving her a thourough spanking, the final one sending her flying through the church window.

* InformedFlaw: Kreese calls him an evil clone of Jack, but aside from the inherent lack of morality and humanity that would come with willingly participating in [=DeathWatch=], which is a widely accepted thing in the [=MadWorld=] universe, and his more aggressive persona, he doesn't seem to be particularly evil.

* ShoutOut: Considering the whole Sci-Fi theme of Area 66, the fact that Kojack possesses a goatee might be a reference to Mirror Spock from Franchise/StarTrek, due one of the most common references to the series is having an EvilCounterpart of a good character possess a goatee much like Mirror Spock did.

* ShoutOut: A very blatant one to Franchise/StarWars, to the extent that their boss description nearly says that they use the Force before [[LastSecondWordSwap switching the word out]] for "magnets".

* AmbiguouslyHuman: The commentators say that it's the mech is remote controlled because the pilot didn't want to fight in person. However, the pilot is one of the grey aliens on the island and it rides the missile in the final struggle. If the boss still has some health left when the pilot dies, the mech will continue fighting.
* AmbiguousSituation: Is the grey the actual pilot? or is it forced to fight like the others?

* ShoutOut: To multiple [[HumongousMecha Humongous Mechas]] and robots in general throughout various forms of media
** The "torso" of the machine bears a resemblance to [[Franchise/StarWars R2-D2's]] head, while the rest of it resmebles the overall body scheme of Johnny 5 from Film/ShortCircuit.
** The overall configuration of the machine makes it resemble a cross between [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter-3]] and the [=FutureTank=] from [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising]].

** The groin mounted buzzsaw might be a reference to Film/RobotJox, due to that movie having a scene where Alex pilots a robot with a pelvis mounted chainsaw.
** Aside from referencing robots and mecha in general, the fact that the Grey alien will ride the missile during the power struggle could be a reference to the iconic sceene in Film/DrStrangelove where Major Kong rode a nuke as it fell to the ground.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: As TheCynic, he scoffs at the idea of world peace, believing that conflict is inevitable as long as [[HumansAreBastards human nature continues to exist]]. But as TheIdealist, he believes in the pure concept of what [=DeathWatch=] was supposed to be, as a humane way to settle conflict.

* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Leo shoots him in the back of the head once his role is done.]]
