* While Spike from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' is well known as a classic LargeHam, his reboot/AlternateUniverse counterpart from [[ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayerBoomStudios Boom Studios comics]] has cooled his hamminess down quite a bit. He's every bit as snarky, cynical, and overly-dramatic as always, but he's a lot calmer and with more self-control. His big moments of drama are if possible even ''more'' over-the-top than before, but he does them in a much more stoic fashion.
** To illustrate the difference: When the Spike of the TV show tried to commit suicide, he was in tears all the while and tried to fall on a stake. When the Spike of the comics tries to commit suicide, he calmly spouts some dramatic dialogue and flings himself off a tall building, finishing his melodramatic tirade with "Let's see if I can hit that Benz."
