->''"We go out for one lousy ''drink'', and you guys somehow manage to pick a fight with Boba Fett!"''
-->-- '''Leonard Snart''', ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''

A character based off of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' bounty hunter [[Characters/StarWarsBobaFett Boba Fett]], who was introduced in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. This type of character can have many different traits that make them unexpectedly popular with fans:
* Is a BountyHunter, or at least a {{hired gun|s}}; this can allow them to come in and out of the series depending on who's hired them. In series with multiple {{Big Bad}}s, a Fauxba Fett might be introduced in one's employ and then return hired by another, enabling the writers to bring back an interesting minor villain from a defeated BigBad's group. On occasion, they might enter an EnemyMine with the protagonists or even be hired by them.
* Wears feature-concealing armor. This holds the dual purpose of keeping them mysterious yet recognizable and making them a more formidable adversary. Bonus points if the helmet has a T-shaped visor, or otherwise a long vertical part to it.
* Carries an [[WalkingArmory arsenal's worth]] of various weapons. Usually, many of them are integrated with the armor.
* [[TheQuietOne Rarely speaks]], and if they do their voice may be filtered through a machine.
* MysteriousPast, this factors into the face-concealing armor and lack of speech. It might even be speculated that more than one person wears the mask. The original even has a MultipleChoicePast due to a lack of canon backstory for twenty years after his first appearance and many ExpandedUniverse writers choosing to write about him.
* Massive WolverinePublicity.
* Cloned for part of an [[CloneArmy army]].

As bounty hunters rarely, if ever, were depicted donning armor pre-''Star Wars''[[note]]the Wild West's bounty hunters and their English thief-taker precursors both came about after firearms made armor less useful[[/note]], it is safe to assume that any armored bounty hunter character was based off of Boba Fett.

Subtrope of FountainOfExpies. See TheExpyWithNoName for characters inspired by Fett's progenitor.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Star Wars]]
* The TropeMaker, Boba Fett, first appeared in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''. He was later properly introduced to the films in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', which led to many more appearances in other media due to his unexpected popularity.
* ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'' introduced the Mandalorian character Fenn Shysa in 1982, who fought alongside Fett in the past, and is briefly mistaken for him in the story. Shysa made a few appearances in ''Legends'' after Fett's official backstory was revealed, with a suitably retconned backstory.
* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': Jodo Kast was another bounty hunter who wore Mandalorian armor and frequently cashed in on Boba Fett's reputation, in one story himself being impersonated by Grand Admiral Thrawn before Fett tracks him down and kills him.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' has the party member Canderous Ordo, a BloodKnight of a Mandalorian mercenary. By the time of [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords the sequel]], he's become ''the'' Mandalore, seeking to reunite his people.
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' lets you play as a Boba Fett Expy, with its Bounty Hunter class storyline specifically written around this particular ''Star Wars'' archetype and even having you work for a Darth Vader Expy.
* ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' introduces Boba Fett's "father", Jango Fett, of whom Boba is a literal genetic clone. However, while his armor could be a gunmetal-and-blue PaletteSwap for his son's green armor and he flies the same ''Slave I'' they do have some differences. Jango is a bit more talkative[[note]]which led to his actor, Creator/TemueraMorrison, redubbing Jason Wingreen's few lines as Boba Fett in a re-release of ''The Empire Strikes Back''[[/note]], shows his face multiple times, and favors [[GunsAkimbo twin blaster pistols]] instead of a single carbine. He also had numerous ModifiedClone "brothers" who served as the precursors to [[FacelessMooks Imperial Stormtroopers]].
** The film also contains the example of Zam Wessell, who is a mysterious, silent, armor-clad bounty hunter-slash-assassin with unconventional weaponry. While the face is visible, it's a shapeshifter, so for the most part of the character's appearance we're not shown Zam's real face, either.
* ''ComicBook/StarWarsRepublic'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'': Durge fills the same role that Jango Fett played as a bounty hunter in the employ of the Separatists, wears a body-concealing suit of armor (which conceals that he is a regenerative alien made entirely of nerve, muscle and cybernetics; his face is not revealed until he is KilledOffForReal), and is [[WalkingArmory armed with a variety of tools]]. He was also trained by a Mandalorian warrior centuries before the Clone Wars before developing a hatred for them over time. However, his personality is dependent on the work. In ''Clone Wars'', Durge is almost completely silent except for the one time he lets out an EvilLaugh. In the ''Republic'' comics, he's a talkative PsychoForHire.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': Subverted with Cad Bane. While he fulfills the story archetype by being a bounty hunter employed by multiple villains, has a bit of a MysteriousPast, carries enough equipment to meet the WalkingArmory check mark (some of it mounted on a SuperWristGadget), and poses a decent threat to even Jedi, he's noticeably more talkative (although he has an alien voice filter), wears no armor, and explicitly does not like to hide his face under a helmet (the one time he does wear a helmet is to [[DressingAsTheEnemy disguise himself as a Clone Trooper]]), favoring a NiceHat and some breathing tubes that he can hook up to his cheekbones instead. If anything, he's a classic Western bounty hunter [[RecycledInSpace in space]] with elements of a Fauxba. He was also a rival to Jango Fett, competing with him to see who was the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. To Bane's disappointment, however, he only got the position of "best" during the Clone Wars due to Jango dying on Geonosis. In [[WhatCouldHaveBeen unfinished storylines]], he would have become a mentor to Boba and [[DeconstructedTrope tried to mold him into a Jango substitute to get some closure on his rivalry]].
* Played with by the Mandalorians as seen in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', who disavow any affiliation with the Fetts and are portrayed as a complex culture torn between their ProudWarriorRace past and a pacifistic modernization movement. There are many Mandalorians who wear beskar steel armor with {{Jet Pack}}s and integral weaponry, but they tend to be not bounty hunters but fundamentalist terrorists, anti-Imperial freedom fighters, or [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters both]].
* ''Series/TheMandalorian'':
** The most clearcut example from ''Franchise/StarWars'' is the titular Mandalorian, Din Djarin. A terse bounty hunter clad in Mandalorian armor covered in weapons[[note]]Some of which are quite similar to Boba's, one of them even looks like the rifle Boba used in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''![[/note]], who's almost never seen with his helmet off.
** Season 2 introduces Din to Cobb Vanth, a Marshal from Tatooine who dons armor taken from the missing Boba Fett. Vanth is an aversion of this trope, in spite of the fact that he's wearing the armor, simply because he's a humble lawman, whereas Fett is a ruthless bounty hunter. [[spoiler:When Vanth gives the armor to Din as payment for slaying a Krayt Dragon, the real Boba Fett is seen watching it move off in the distance. He makes a full speaking appearance in [[Recap/TheMandalorianS2E6Chapter14TheTragedy Chapter 14]], and it turns out that he's not too far from Din's personality. He even gets his armor back, and makes quick work of some mooks.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' Magazine's ''[[Film/AttackOfTheClones Star Bores Epic Load II: Attack of the Clowns]]'' has a parody of Jango Fett called Tango Feet. He says that the clones will get all his traits like his intelligence, strength, cunning, agility, modesty, and [[TakeThat inability to act]]. Weirdly, their parodies of the original trilogy didn't bother having a parody of Boba Fett.
* The version of ComicBook/{{Peacemaker}} that appears in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' has a costume that's heavily based on Boba Fett's. Although that's about it for similarities, as he's more of a background character in the comic.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsParanormalitiesTrilogy Star Wars: Paranormalities]]'':
** Gahmah Raan subverts a number of the traits associated with this trope. While he is a bounty hunter and has a number of tools at his disposal, he only serves as an antagonist once (and the person who hired him [[AntiVillain isn't all that evil to begin with]]), and most other times he's been seen, he works with more heroic characters (he's also [[EveryoneHasStandards very picky about working for crime bosses]]). He wears a face-obscuring helmet most of the time, but he isn't as fully armored as most characters fulfilling this archetype, having an uncovered neck and sleeveless arms, and he wears a helmet because he usually suffers a lot of violent head/face injuries (that he usually regenerates from afterward). In contrast to Boba's silence, he's an incredibly talkative BunnyEarsLawyer that has people guessing when [[ObfuscatingStupidity he's genuinely being stupid or not]]. MysteriousPast? The most mysterious thing about him (aside from how his mind works) is that he's from a relatively unknown alien race. He may have a ship similar to Boba's ''Slave I'', but he does not enjoy being compared to him.
** Gestroma in Episode II plays this straight, being a fully-armored bounty hunter with a face-wide visor, a large arsenal of weaponry, and a seemingly mysterious past. Unlike Gahmah, he's consistently a villain. And he isn't just a regular hitman trying to make ends meet; he's a PsychoForHire with a [[HiddenAgendaVillain hidden agenda]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/LethalWeapon4'': The "Human Tank" encountered by Riggs and Murtaugh. He wears an armor that's [[ImmuneToBullets impervious to most projectiles]] including gloves and a CoolHelmet that doesn't allow to see his face, he uses a flamethrower, and he goes down due to his backpack being hit by an enemy and sending him unwillingly flying (Boba's JetPack that gets hit by Han Solo with a staff in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' and Human Tank's backpack fuel tank for his flamethrower [[FlamethrowerBackfire being shot at by Riggs]]).
* ''[[Literature/{{Gor}} Outlaw of Gor]]'' introduces us to Aust, the "greatest Manhunter on Gor", whom Queen Lara hires to track down Cabot and his allies. With no backstory to speak of, Aust is relentless, taciturn, and OnlyInItForTheMoney. He also possesses his own inscrutable moral code, helping Cabot escape another bounty hunter at one point [[spoiler:and helping Cabot take down Lara when it's clear that the jig is up]]. For armor, he only wears a helmet, pauldrons, and gauntlets, but on the {{Stripperific}} planet of Gor, that virtually makes him a tank. [[Series/MST3k Mike and the Bots]] even go so far as to call him "Bubba Fett" during [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E19Outlaw their riffing of the movie]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* In the ''Star Bores'' parody novel by Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore, the Boba Fett expy is called Bobbi Sox.
* Likewise, ''Star Warped'' by Adam Roberts has a bounty hunter called [[WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder Boba The Builder]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': One-shot villain Jubal Early is revealed in the director's commentary to be partially inspired by Boba Fett. Unsurprisingly, since he's a suited bounty hunter introduced while helmeted, and his ship is also modeled after ''Slave I''.
* The MonsterOfTheWeek in the ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' episode "[[Recap/KaizokuSentaiGokaigerE28WingsForever Wings Forever]]", Kiaido, is a space-faring bounty hunter employed by TheEmpire who looks like a red-colored Boba Fett.
* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': Season 1 introduces Chronos, a fully-armored, time-travelling bounty hunter chasing the titular team's leader. Leonard Snart blatantly lampshades this within ''seconds'' of laying eyes on the guy, before even learning Chronos's profession.
-->'''Snart:''' We go out for one lousy ''drink'', and you guys somehow manage to pick a fight with Boba Fett!
* ''Series/StargateSG1'': In one episode, SG-1 are captured by an armored bounty hunter named Aris Boch, who is equipped with multiple unique devices like a DeflectorShield trap that doesn't have the "slow objects" weakness of normal Goa'uld personal shields, an energy rifle with a secondary stun barrel, and an armor that absorbs the normally reliable [[StaticStunGun zat guns]]. He ropes them into helping him capture a Tok'ra and turns out to be a HumanAlien whose species was enslaved by the Goa'uld via addiction to a drug with lethal withdrawal symptoms (which he gets paid in).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' has [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep the Bounty Hunter]], a mysterious mercenary Mechwarrior who always wears a custom suit of green PoweredArmor. During the game's forty-year history (in real life) and century-long timeline (in-game) [[LegacyCharacter there have been at least six Bounty Hunters]], each having had the mantle (plus the armour and the signature ''[[IconicItem Marauder]]'') passed to them by the former holder (the Bounty Hunter was in their fourth incarnation at the time Jango Fett was introduced). The first Bounty Hunter's identity was never revealed and they remain an enigma, though each subsequent Bounty Hunter have had identities, names and backstories, and some even went on to hold illustrious and public positions after retiring from the role.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Toys]]
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** Depth Charge, the Maximal Manta Ray from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', is a terse and aloof character whose only purpose is to hunt down a particular quarry, in this case, Protoform X. While this is quite circumstantial, the fact that the toymakers made the [[PaletteSwap redeco]] of his toy into an homage to ''Slave I'' isn't.
** Despite being a relatively recent character, Lockdown in almost all his subsequent iterations fits this trope to a T. Debuting in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' he is a notorious Cybertronian bounty hunter on the Decepticons' payroll, sports a green color scheme and travels the cosmos in his own personal starship. The creators even admitted that Fett was part of the inspiration for him. His appearance in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' gives him more menacing armor complete with a CoolMask (that can also turn into a gun) and shows him [[spoiler: imprisoning the Dinobots on his ship much like Fett holding prisoners in Carbonite]]. His appearances in the IDW Transformers continuity harken back to the original character, but his incarnation from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse'' is a radical departure from him, being merely a lowly Decepticon grunt.
** Soundwave from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015'' is often compared to Boba Fett by the production staff. While he's not a bounty hunter, being the Decepticon spymaster and [[TheDragon Megatron's right-hand bot]] instead, Soundwave shares the rest of Fett's attributes, such as the T-shaped visor, being mostly silent [[spoiler:until near the end of the third season (and his voice is done through a vocoder)]], and [[TheDreaded feared by Decepticons and Autobots alike for his combat skills and arsenal]]. Very little is known about Soundwave other than the fact that he was one of Megatron's earliest followers, and many Autobots believe that he is no ordinary Cybertronian, with some questioning if he even has a face underneath that visor. Unlike Fett, this incarnation of Soundwave has taken a vow of silence for an unexplained reason, which as noted he only breaks [[spoiler:once towards the end of the series]] and is forced to abandon for extenuating circumstances in the sequel series.
** Tarn from ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' is the leader of the [[SecretPolice Decepticon Justice Division]], a hit squad that is tasked with hunting all traitors to the Decepticon cause or anyone who crosses Megatron's wrath (much like how Fett is a bounty hunter, although he isn't paid to do it), and as such is [[TheDreaded feared by both Autobots and Decepticons]]. His robot mode is bedecked in imposing black armor complete with a [[CoolMask Decepticon insignia for a mask]] to obfuscate his identity. He is also [[WalkingArmory armed to the teeth]] in both robot and alternate modes (his alternate mode being a [[TankGoodness superheavy tank]]). Much like Fett, his true identity is kept mostly mysterious at first ([[spoiler:until it's revealed that he's Glitch, a minor character]]). Unlike other instances of this trope, he actually does speak a fair bit, but when he does, he possesses the ability to literally [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talk people to death]]. Given all this, he's considered an EnsembleDarkhorse among the fans in the same way Fett is, though he hasn't gotten any merchandise other than a (non-transforming) Flame Toys Figure.
* ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'';
** One of the outfits for the original "[[https://twitter.com/WeirdlandTales/status/1202575698155769856/photo/1 He-Man Trio]]" pitch was a modified Boba Fett helmet but they ended up going with the BarbarianHero look, making it a SwordAndSorcery instead of a space franchise.
** The trio became the character, Vykor in the ''Masters Of The Universe Classics'' toyline thought the helmet slit was widened so his face is visible.
** A "Masters Mondays" bio was made for "[[https://www.he-man.org/assets/images/collect_toy/space_ace_full.jpg Space Ace]]", the guy that Vykor won his space armor from.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The Silencer, player character of the ''VideoGame/{{Crusader}}'' series, is a defector from the [[MegaCorp World Economic Consortium]]'s [[{{Supersoldier}} Silencer Corps]] who now works for the [[LaResistance Global Resistance]]. He has access to a large arsenal of kinetic and energy weapons, is clad in a full red armor with a face-concealing helmet featuring a T-shaped visor, and doesn't speak. Neither his past nor his name are known.
* ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'''s BountyHunter has several features in common with Boba Fett, as if he was transplanted into the European Medieval period. He carries several weapons on him (those being an axe, a grappling hook, flashbangs, and caltrops), wears a concealing helmet and armor, and doesn't speak very much (in fact, several of his lines consist of VisibleSilence). We also don't know about his past, as [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/darkestdungeon_gamepedia/images/e/ec/Bnty_final_sml.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170825144757 his backstory comic]] reveals him [[spoiler:butchering the same corrupt police that the Houndmaster was once colleagues with]], but nothing much deeper than that. Funnily enough, one of the Bounty Hunter's four [[PaletteSwap alternate color schemes]] is based off of Boba Fett.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' features Vile (official Japanese name Vava, but which can also be transliterated as Baba), a former Maverick Hunter that went Maverick. He ends up being one of the most well-known Mavericks in the series, having three appearances in the main line of games and [[PromotedToPlayable being playable]] with a large pool of weaponry in the [[VideoGame/MegaManMaverickHunterX PSP remake of the first game]]. In all of his appearances, he's shown to have deep resentment toward X. Vile's character design heavily resembles Fett's, especially his head, which is identical to a Mandalorian helmet.
* ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'':
** Samus Aran is a bounty hunter in feature-concealing PoweredArmor with an ArmCannon that has several firing modes and a mysterious past, though less mysterious after the [[SamusIsAGirl reveal]] at the end of [[VideoGame/Metroid1 the first game]]. In ''[[VideoGame/MetroidDread Metroid Dread]]'', [[spoiler:Raven Beak tries to clone the "ultimate Metroid" (Samus after awakening her Metroid powers), albeit unwilling since Jango's clones were made with his permission by the Kaminoans]].
** Sylux. He's introduced in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters'' as having a deep resentment towards Samus and the Galactic Federation but is otherwise shrouded in mystery. He gets more characterization than the other hunters, even if that's not too much. He later makes cameos as a MysteriousWatcher in two separate games, fueling much speculation that he'll eventually get a starring role to be more fleshed out.
* Bounty Hunter Kyle, Kyle's Sci-Fi set card in ''VideoGame/SouthParkPhoneDestroyer'', wears a face-concealing helmet that has a T-shaped visor in his card art, flies with a jetpack ([[ImprovisedJetPack made from a leafblower]]), uses a blaster as a weapon, and one of his idle quotes is "Nothing compared to Sarlacc!". Given that the premise of the game is a bunch of kids playing dress up, it's most likely a deliberate ShoutOut in universe.
* ''VideoGame/{{Strider}}'' has the recurring character Solo, a bounty hunter clad in a flight-capable armor, his face always concealed behind a large visor, and armed with many different firearms and explosives, hired to take down Hiryu once he becomes a problem. Notably, Solo is the only boss in the series that's not a fanatical servant of Grandmaster Meio, being simply hired to do a job. The inspiration was all but confirmed by WordOfGod, who stated that Solo takes after Boba Fett's EstablishingCharacterMoment in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' where he's hired by Darth Vader.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': The show primarily being made using machinima means most characters will at some point be depicted wearing all-concealing body armor, but a few notable examples stand out:
** The Freelancers were originally introduced as badass PsychoForHire-type characters. They are outfitted with high-tech weapons and armor that houses an advanced armor ability and AI to run it.
** Locus and Felix in [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy the Chorus trilogy]] are mercenaries brought on by the two factions involved in the planet-wide civil war, the Federal Army and the New Republic, respectively. Locus is a loner sociopath that is so devoted to being the perfect soldier that he literally goes by the name of his armor. Felix is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold [[spoiler:until TheReveal that he and Locus are both working with Charon Industries to lead each side to wipe out the planet's inhabitants. After this, Felix is shown to be the more unhinged of the two.]]
* ''Tortie'''s ''Mandalorian'' parody, ''[[https://youtu.be/doOXUOlalmU The Mango]]'' has the Mango letting Baby Yoda fall out the window after he vomits in his spaceship.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Grace runs [[https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2016-04-04-silver-tongue into one of these]] during her ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' playthrough. Mind you, no such bounty hunter exists in the referenced game.
* ''Webcomic/{{Jix}}'':
** In an early arc, Remula's father hires armored bounty hunter Pratos (aka Remula's cousin [[https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Jix/4960331/ Aranis]]) to bring his amnesiac MPD daughter back from Earth.
** Another bounty hunter named [[https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Jix/5237099/ Mericax]] goes so far as to wear green armor. He's also incredibly tall for an ambis, speaks in a quasi-Russian accent, and gets recruited as one of [[BigBad Kelelder's]] lieutenants after Jix manages to defeat him.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': The "Punyverse" arc, parodying SpaceOpera and Anime, has a brief appearance by a bounty hunter named "Boa Yvette" who wears a feather boa over her armor, and promptly gets killed by a ComicBook/{{Lobo}} expy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
%%* The ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' franchise has three of them introduced across the four series, in the form of siblings Sixsix, Sevenseven and Eighteight. Sevenseven also has an alternate counterpart dubbed Twentythreetwentythree, after the 23rd dimension he appears in. And naturally, WordOfGod has suggested that Ben's hypothetical transformation into their species would be [[ArcNumber Tenten]]. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; in what way do they resemble Boba Fett?)
* Shiv Katall from ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', a bounty hunter frequently employed by Zurg to hunt down defectors from his organization. In this case, the concealing armor has a specific purpose: to hide the fact that "Katall" is actually Buzz Lightyear himself (and [[LegacyCharacter before him]] Commander Nebula) and that he's actually rescuing the defectors and faking their deaths. However, this also causes the [[TheRealRemingtonSteele identity to be hijacked]] by Evil Buzz Lightyear.
* This is more on the parody side, but ''WesternAnimation/{{Dogstar}}'' has a recurring villain in the form of bounty hunter [[PunnyName Baba Ganoosh]], who is actually Gemma's rather short uncle inside a very large and imposing set of armor.
* In ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'', Sylth Vester has many similarities to Boba Fett, being a bounty hunter who wears a suit of armor with an arsenal of weapons and who is partially motivated by a grudge against a specific individual. Unlike most Fauxba Fetts, however, he's rather chatty. Plus, considering that this is a version of Sylvester, he's involved in a lot more slapstick this time around.
* ''WesternAnimation/MaxSteel2013'' features Ven-Ghan the Ultralink Hunter. He's a BountyHunter who has tasked himself with hunting down every Ultralink in existence, which initially includes Steel. Upon later realizing that they're fighting the same enemy, he becomes an ally. He has a CoolShip, wears a CoolHelmet, and uses both a sword and a RayGun.
* Brucho from ''WesternAnimation/{{Plasmo}}'' is a former bounty hunter turned mechanic (he actually ''flunked'' out of his bounty hunting program). He constantly wears heavy body-concealing armor in a green color scheme (to the point that he wears his helmet in the bath), and his original pilot origins had him, along with his partner Coredor, tracking down Plasmo as a bounty. Unlike Boba Fett, though, he's ridiculously chatty, as a way to [[VocalDissonance emphasize his heavy lateral lisp]]. Also, in contrast to both Boba Fett and Coredor, he's much kinder than expected.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode, "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS25E9StealThisEpisode Steal This Episode]]" has the town watching ''[[Film/TheForceAwakens Cosmic Wars Episode VII: A New Take]]'' where we see the Yoda expy fight off a group of different coloured Mandalorians.
