* EyePop / JawDrop: Done in issue #2 when Slapstick sees [[{{Spider-Man}} Mary Jane Watson-Parker]].

%%* AmusementParkOfDoom / CircusOfFear

* AnotherDimension: Dimension X

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever
* BerserkButton: During Civil War, insulting his friends who were members of the New Warriors after their deaths. From 2015 on, reminding him that he has no genitalia also has this effect.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Occasionally in covers, and the final page of issue #4.

* CantHaveSexEver: Mentioned by Mike when Steve is thrilled that the school beauty, Barb Halsey, is in love with Slapstick... who lacks the requisite equipment.
** The 2016 series reveals that when Slapstick defeated the Overlord of Dimension X/Ecch in his very first appearance, he ended up triggering a device which caused this same effect on the entire population of the Dimension. They were less than pleased with their "savior" when he returned.
* CaptainErsatz: Issue #2 featured The Overkiller, an obvious take on ThePunisher. HilarityEnsues.
** Also mentioned in passing was "[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Skulker-Arounder]], dark, gritty, realistic avenger of evil."

* CloudCuckoolander: Steve was apparently always a prankster. When he's turned into Slapstick, he upgrades into a superpowered ScrewySquirrel.
%%* CoolLoser

* DeathByOriginStory: Parodied by the Scientist Supreme of Dimension X, who conveniently falls dead after telling Steve about his new powers and the Overlord's schemes. After Steve leaves, he springs back up with a grin.

%%* EvilLaugh

%%* FunPersonified

* HyperspaceMallet: Slapstick's primary method of attack.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Lots, such as the villain of issue #4, the [[EarthShatteringKaboom Neutron Bum]].

* MadScientist / OverlordJr: Dr. Denton, Destroyer Of Worlds!
** It's never shown whether Denton's parents are evil scientists themselves, though they did chastise him for building giant robot monsters indoors ''again''...
** Quazimodo from the 2016 series. Slapstick himself tries to replicate his dimensional portal technology after he is caught and pardoned by ARMOR.

%%* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* RuleOfFunny: The [[strike:main]] only driving point of the series.

* SelfDeprecation: The 2016 series features a dig toward the original 1992 miniseries where Slapstick chides his friend Mike for retelling his origins in his planned graphic novel on the grounds that gaining his powers to fight clowns from another dimension is too goofy for anyone to believe. Quite tellingly, the art style of Mike's graphic novel matches that of said miniseries.

* EnfantTerrible: Oliver Denton from the third issue is a ChildProgidy who intends to use his intellect for evil.

* BlackAndNerdy: Mike.

* TriggerHappy: The Overkiller.
* WeNeedADistraction: Done in issue #4 with a cup of coffee.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: Heavily implied to be the reason for his more violent personality in Deadpool's 2015 series.

Slapstick is a SuperHero character created by Len Kaminski and James Fry III, who first appeared in a four-issue limited series (November, 1992-February, 1993) by MarvelComics. Despite being voted by Marvel readers as the best new character of 1992, Slapstick was left in obscurity until his appearance in ''ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative''. His first ongoing series was announced as part of [[ComicBook/MarvelNow2016 2016's Marvel NOW! relaunch]], starting in December 2016.

** The 2016 series includes a series of antagonists from Dimension X who are all blatantly based on cartoon characters from the 1970s through the 1990s, including Bro-Man (He-Man), the Taurs (Smurf/My Little Pony centaur hybrids), and the War D.O.G.s (cross between G.I. Joe and Road Rovers)

* BewareTheSillyOnes: [[spoiler:Recently, while undergoing training at Camp Hammond with other former New Warriors, Steve took offense at an insult the [[DrillSergeantNasty drill instructor]] laid against his deceased friends [[note]]for their involvement in the accident that led to the Superhuman Registration Act[[/note]], so he attacked him when he was alone and savagely beat him into a coma. With his giant mallet.]]

* CartoonPhysics: To put it simply, Slapstick is composed of [[AppliedPhlebotinum living unstable molecules]], making him a living cartoon character.

* AnthropomorphicFood: As a ShoutOut to CalvinAndHobbes

* ShapeshifterBaggage: Slapstick becomes stronger and larger when he gets zapped with electricity, with no explanation for the extra mass.
** Of course, he's [[JustifiedTrope based on Saturday-morning cartoons]], which are equally guilty of abusing physics. Plus, he has the power to store mass in another dimension, so it's not implausible for him to take some into himself.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to James Fry, if Marvel had approved of more ''Slapstick'' stories, his Rogue's Gallery would have included established Marvel villains such as The Toad Men and the poultry-based team-up of [[SuperZeroes The Black Talon, Gamecock, and Bantam]] -- revealing them to be [[SiblingRivalry rival siblings]] in a battle that would have ended with all the heroes doubled over with laughter at their expense...

* WolverinePublicity: Parodied in issue #2, which features {{Spider-Man}} as a SpecialGuest. Noteworthy because Spidey was all but useless in the issue, with many jokes made at his expense.
** They also played this trope on the cover of issue 4 with Slapstick promoting the fact Ghost Rider was in the issue. As it turns out, Ghostie was only one of many heroes who popped up that issue.

* JustHitHim: During the Neutron Bum's explosive rampage in issue #4, The NewWarriors, {{Daredevil}}, Comicbook/GhostRider, the Comicbook/FantasticFour, and Comicbook/TheAvengers were trying to formulate a proper attack plan. Slapstick simply went to a coffee shop, bought a cup of coffee, gave it to the bum, then knocked him out in mid-sip.
