| 11 | !![[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief]] |
| 12 | -> '''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 13 | ->''"Ain't no way that you can beat me; even my initials spell MC!"'' |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * CoolHelmet: He never takes it off, leading to TheFaceless. |
| 17 | * TheFaceless: Lampshaded by Leonidas. |
| 18 | -->''I'd look you in the eyes but you're too much of a bitch to show your face!'' |
| 19 | * FunWithAcronyms: He makes use of the fact that his name's initials are "MC" to boast that Leonidas couldn't beat him in a rap battle. |
| 20 | * HumanPopsicle: He sleeps in a freezer in outer space. |
| 21 | * NotQuiteFlight: He levitates out of the Spartan pit. |
| 22 | * OneManArmy: He claims to have marched into Sparta by himself and showed its queen his 'plasma cannon'. |
| 23 | * PoweredArmor: He's got the best the UNSC can provide, MJOLNIR. |
| 24 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: His opening line. |
| 25 | --> '''Master Chief''': Not. So. Fast. |
| 26 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Leonidas' red; he doesn't do any shouting or wild gesturing. |
| 27 | * SuperSoldier: If someone thinks they can beat a Spartan easily, they're implying this. Chief himself is part of the SPARTAN-II program. |
| 28 | * TheStoic: He never loses his cool. |
| 29 | * TranquilFury: His opening lines are calm but the anger is clear. |
| 30 | * TriggerHappy: "My trigger finger's itching". Good thing he doesn't have a gun outside of his introduction. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | !![[Film/ThreeHundred Leonidas]] |
| 33 | -> '''Played by:''' Jesse Welle |
| 34 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Lloyd Ahlquist |
| 35 | ->''"THIS IS SPARTA!"'' |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * ActionDad: The Spartan King spars with his own son, even finding the latter more of a challenge than Master Chief. |
| 38 | * ArmorIsUseless: Unlike Master Chief, Leondias doesn't need armor because 'my abs are harder!' |
| 39 | * AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: King of the Spartans. |
| 40 | * BadassArmy: The 300 Spartans are in the background. |
| 41 | * BadassCape: His cape is red, which is the color of war. |
| 42 | * BadassFamily: Claims his 'six year old son' puts up a better fight than Master Chief. |
| 43 | * BloodKnight: He's clearly enjoying the rap battle. |
| 44 | * TheCameo: Leonidas briefly appears in the Season 3 premiere. |
| 45 | * CoolHelmet: He removes it during his introduction. |
| 46 | * HeroicBuild: "I don't need firepower when I'm rocking ''these'' guns!" |
| 47 | * LargeHam: [=EpicLLOYD=] is definitely trying to equal the hamminess that Creator/GerardButler showed in the film. |
| 48 | * MadeOfIron: Claims his abs are harder than armor. They're certainly harder than pottery. |
| 49 | * ManlyFacialHair: As in the film, Leonidas has a rugged beard that makes him look really manly. |
| 50 | * MotorMouth: Not as much as Shakespeare, but he speaks one line particularly fast: |
| 51 | --> '''Leonidas''': I'll stomp you in the face with my sandals enraged and tonight we shall rhyme in the shade! |
| 52 | * MrFanservice: He has a great physique. In the behind the scenes video, his actor's (now ex-) girlfriend pranks him by hiring a bunch of ([[EatingTheEyeCandy obviously delightful]]) women to fawn over him. |
| 53 | * NoIndoorVoice: He yells ''all'' of his lines. |
| 54 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: THIS! IS!! SPARTA!!! |
| 55 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Master Chief's blue; shouting and passion and dramatic gestures. |
| 56 | * RockBeatsLaser: Claims his rock hard abs are tougher than Master Chief's armor. |
| 57 | * SwordAndSandal: He's minimally dressed compared to the fully armored Master Chief; sandals, loin cloth, and cape. He's from B.C. Sparta after all instead of the far future. |
| 58 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Master Chief [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this: 'You got a bad case of 'no-shirt' there, Fabio Flintstone.' |

| 64 | -> '''Luigi Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 65 | ->''"It's-a me, Mario!" "And Luigi, motha—*ping*!"'' |
| 66 | ---- |
| 67 | * BackToBackBadasses: The two stand this way several times. |
| 68 | * BashBrothers: The brothers rap together. |
| 69 | * BrooklynRage: Traditionally associated with New York, and here they have the accents and play up the toughness by threatening the Wright Brothers. |
| 70 | * GoldMakesEverythingShiny: They sport some awesome bling. |
| 71 | * FatAndSkinny: Mario is fat and Luigi is skinny. |
| 72 | * LargeHam: In contrast to the more mechanical Wright brothers, the Mario Bros. are louder and more passionate. |
| 73 | * NoIndoorVoice: Luigi has his volume stuck on high. |
| 74 | * RambunctiousItalian: Famously Italian, and far more passionate and loud than their opponents. |
| 75 | * RedOniBlueOni: Ironically, Luigi is the red to Mario's blue, as he had NoIndoorVoice while Mario is more reserved. The Mario Bros. are red onis to the Wright Brothers as shown in LargeHam. |
| 76 | * SiblingTeam: They're brothers. |
| 77 | * SoundEffectBleep: At the start of their first verse, Luigi breaks into coarse language that's censored by the coin-collect sound effect. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | !![[UsefulNotes/TheWrightBrothers The Wright Brothers]] |
| 80 | -> '''Wilbur Played by:''' Rhett [=McLaughlin=] |
| 81 | -> '''Orville Played by:''' Link Neal |
| 82 | ->''"We're the fathers of flight!"'' |
| 83 | ---- |
| 84 | * BackToBackBadasses: The two rap side by side. |
| 85 | * BashBrothers: The brothers rap together. |
| 86 | * BattleStrip: Wilbur takes off his [[GlassesPull goggles]] and shirt in their second verse. |
| 87 | * RedOniBlueOni: The intro implies that Orville is the red to Wilbur's blue. To the Mario Bros., they're the blue oni, being more calm while the Mario Bros. are more aggressive. |
| 88 | * SiblingIncest: Accused of making out with each other by Mario...which they don't help when they imply that they had a threesome with Peach. |
| 89 | * SiblingTeam: They are brothers. |
| 90 | * AThreesomeIsManly: The Wrights [[UnusualEuphemism playing Donkey Kong]] with Princess Peach. |

| 100 | * AfroAsskicker: Has an afro during the first part of his battle, and despite his young age, he spits some savage rhymes. |
| 101 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Beat every record that Elvis set. |
| 102 | * BadassAdorable: In the first verse, when he appears as a kid. |
| 103 | * TheBeard: Presley snarks that he only let his daughter marry him because he knew he'd never bang her. |
| 104 | * ChildProdigy: His first verse shows the child version from the Jackson 5 days. |
| 105 | * {{CloudCuckoolander}}: Elvis Presley calls him a weirdo who "lost [his] damn mind". |
| 106 | * CoolShades: Wears them throughout the second verse. |
| 107 | * DanceBattler: Dances while fighting a rap battle. |
| 108 | * DancingRoyalty: It's ''Michael freaking Jackson'', what do you expect? |
| 109 | * DeadArtistsAreBetter: [[invoked]] He boasts that even after he died, his Blu-Ray sales still go platinum. |
| 110 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: As an adult, his demeanour is a little more eccentric as his appearance changes due to his skin condition. |
| 111 | * FashionableAsymmetry: His signature single glove. |
| 112 | * GagNose: Elvis brings up his infamous botched plastic surgery. |
| 113 | * HypocriticalHumor: Makes fun of Elvis for dying of a drug overdose despite having done the same thing. |
| 114 | * InsultBackfire: He insults Elvis over his UndignifiedDeath. Elvis counters saying "he doesn't give a crap" about that and proceeded to spit aggressive lines that forces Michael into a PlotRelevantAgeUp. |
| 115 | * ManChild: Is accused of being one by Elvis. |
| 116 | -->''You're like an sad white woman who never got to be a kid!'' |
| 117 | * MoonwalkDance: As the TropeMaker, of ''course'' he does this during the battle. |
| 118 | * MusicalAssassin: His older version threatens to whoop Elvis' "big fat ass with [his] shiny glove". |
| 119 | * PaedoHunt: Elvis brings up the pedophilia allegations against MJ. |
| 120 | -->'''Elvis Presley:''' You'd better surrender talking about them ABC's\ |
| 121 | 'Cause all you wanna do is teach kids the Birds and the Bees! |
| 122 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: Transforms to his adult self at the middle of the battle. |
| 123 | * PrettyBoy: In the second verse due to the androgynous way he grew up. |
| 124 | * RedBaron: King of Pop. |
| 125 | * SanitySlippage: Elvis claims he lost his mind in his adulthood, and that it's no wonder he was cast as the brainless Scarecrow in Film/TheWiz. |
| 126 | * SignatureHeadgear: Has his memetic white fedora in his second verse. |
| 127 | * TimeShiftedActor: He is played by two different actors for his child and adult self. |
| 128 | * UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: Elvis brings up his pet chimpanzee. |
| 129 | * TheWhitestBlackGuy: Elvis says he's "like a sad white woman" and asks him "I stole from ''black'' culture -- why are ''you'' offended?" Jackson doesn't exactly share this sentiment. |
| 130 | -->''''MJ:''' Didn't lose any chocolate, I just added vanilla! |

| 136 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being fat, he's still very energetic and able to pull off some impressive dance moves. |
| 137 | * AirGuitar: One of his inserts during his second verse shows him doing this. |
| 138 | * BigEater: Which leads into "Fat Elvis." |
| 139 | * ElvisImpersonator: But of course. His second verse has him in the frequently-parodied "pompadour, aviator shades, and flashy white suit" look he became known for in his later years. |
| 140 | * FatAndProud: Upon noticing his immensely gross weight gain, he looks positively ''enthused'', and continues wolfing food down. Come his second verse, his being fat and old, against all common sense, makes him even ''more'' awe-inspiring than before. |
| 141 | * FormerlyFit: He starts out slender and attractive, but then fattens up significantly. |
| 142 | * HotBloodedSideburns: Double-subverted. As "Thin Elvis" he was more composed and smooth but then later he becomes more hotblooded. |
| 143 | * HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In RealLife, Elvis was a NiceGuy who felt that his title wasn't deserved in favor of his black inspirations in the genre. Here, he smugly jokes about how he stole from black culture as a pretense to take a jab at Jackson. |
| 144 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Accuses MJ of being a pervert and a pedophile, and MJ counters by reminding Elvis that he "met [his] own wife when she was only fourteen." |

| 146 | * LargeHam: He sings/raps very playfully. |
| 147 | * MicDrop: Does this at the end of his verse and then he walks off. |
| 148 | * PapaWolf: "I only let you marry my daughter cause I knew you'd never bang her!" |
| 149 | * PowerUpFood: His peanut butter and banana sandwiches, which he overeats during Michael's second verse, transforms him in time for his own second verse. |
| 150 | * PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Offhandedly mentions how he stole from black culture. |
| 151 | * RedBaron: King of Rock'n'Roll. |
| 152 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: His last lyric. |
| 153 | -->"Later weirdo, [[{{Catchphrase}} Elvis is leaving the building!]]" |
| 154 | * SucksAtDancing: Michael Jackson ''claims'' he dances like an epileptic and has two left feet, though objectively, he's actually pretty good at dancing. |
| 155 | * TheCanKickedHim: "Well, I died on the shitter, but I don't give a crap!" |
| 156 | * TooHotForTV: Lampshaded by Child!MJ's lyric about Ed Sullivan; "shoot you from the waist up!" |
| 157 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Peanut butter and banana sandwiches. |
| 158 | * UndignifiedDeath: Michael mocks him for dying in a toilet. |
| 159 | * YouAreFat: Michael Jackson makes several jabs about his weight and affinity for food. |

| 165 | ->''"I'm the Queen of the Nile, so just bow down to me!"'' |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her aura clearly reeks of haughtiness and not giving fucks about anyone/anything. |
| 168 | * AGodAmI: [[DownplayedTrope Kind of]]. She states she is a descendant of gods, but does not claim to be one. |
| 169 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Queen of the Nile. |
| 170 | --> "I'm the Queen of the Nile, so just bow down to me." |
| 171 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She wears a glamorous outfit that bares her midriff. |
| 172 | * BoringInsult: She yawns during the middle of Marilyn's second verse. |
| 173 | * BrotherSisterIncest: Accused of this by Marilyn Monroe. [[TruthInTelevision Cleopatra did indeed marry one of her brothers]]. |
| 174 | * EroticEating: Zig-zagged. She's seen stuffing [[GrapesOfLuxury a bunch of grapes]] as far back in her mouth as it will go, which looks more comical than erotic, but which probably ''was'' a reference to the fact that Cleopatra was reputed to be an expert at oral sex. |
| 175 | * FacialMarkings: At one point Marilyn mocked her excessive make up. |
| 176 | %%* GrapesOfLuxury |
| 177 | * TheHighQueen: Queen of the Nile. |
| 178 | * {{Hypocrite}}: There's a reason people say you shouldn't cast stones... (see directly below). |
| 179 | * InsultBackfire: Suffered twice in Marilyn's first verse: |
| 180 | ** Cleopatra tells Marilyn to hold onto more than her skirt, then mentions all the men [[SlutShaming she gave it up to.]] Marilyn admits it and says Cleo forgot to mention a few of the better ones she slept with - like Creator/MarlonBrando and the Kennedys. Then immediately follows up with: |
| 181 | --->''' Marilyn:''' ''(matter-of-factly)'' ...while you fucked [[BrotherSisterIncest your own brothers.]] |
| 182 | ** Then adds that Cleo gave it up as often as she did. |
| 183 | --->'''Marilyn:''' Getting low on Mark Antony, tossing Caesar's salad... |
| 184 | * KneelBeforeZod: She's the Queen of the Nile, after all. So she tells Marilyn to bow down to her. |
| 185 | * MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Cleopatra's swallowing of the grapes. While seemingly being PlayedForLaughs rather than being sensual, propaganda of her day implied that she very, very much enjoyed fellatio; Greeks called her "She Who Gapes For a Thousand Men." |
| 186 | * MsFanservice: She sways throughout the battle while wearing a revealing outfit. |
| 187 | * NoSell: Never reacts to anything Monroe says with anything more than a sneer and a yawn, whereas Monroe completely loses her shit. |
| 188 | * ReallyGetsAround: Or, as Marilyn put it: |
| 189 | -->"Translate THIS into hieroglyphs: "Your sandy vagina [[SlutShaming has a seven year itch!"]] |
| 190 | * SnakesAreSexy: In a few of her inserts, she's holding a snake. This is not only meant to be sexy, but references how she died from a snake bite. |
| 191 | * SultryBellyDancer: Her overall outfit is inspired by one, even moving like one for most of the battle. Her midriff [[MaleGaze gets lots of attention from the cameraman]]. |
| 192 | * TrueBlueFemininity: She is wearing a muted dark blue outfit. |
| 193 | * UncannyValleyMakeup: Marilyn Monroe claims her excessive eye makeup makes her look ugly. |
| 194 | * WalkLikeAnEgyptian: Humorously, Marilyn Monroe tells her to do just that, and Cleo herself does the move for about a second. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | !! Creator/MarilynMonroe |
| 197 | -> '''Played by:''' Kimmy Gatewood |
| 198 | ->''"My best friends are diamonds! You can't beat me!"'' |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: When Cleo brings up all the men Marilyn slept with, she doesn't deny the accusation. Instead, she tells Cleo [[ThePornomancer she forgot a few.]] |
| 201 | * BerserkButton: She's visibly pissed when Cleopatra brings up how she never had children due to miscarriages. |
| 202 | * BrainlessBeauty: Cleopatra says she has nothing going for her aside from her good looks, calling her an idiot and a bad actress. |
| 203 | * CastingCouch: Cleopatra heavily implies that she thinks Marilyn married [[Creator/ArthurMiller a writer]] to advance her career. |
| 204 | * ConvenientMiscarriage: More of an inconvenient miscarriage as it caused her trouble. |
| 205 | * DrugsAreBad: Cleopatra mocks her barbiturates addiction. |
| 206 | * DullSurprise: According to Cleopatra, she's "a candle in the wind who can't act for shit". |
| 207 | * DumbBlonde: Cleopatra tells her that she thinks Marilyn couldn't read. |
| 208 | * EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Indirectly references her hit song, ''"Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"'' as a final TakeThat at Cleopatra. |
| 209 | -->'''Marilyn:''' ''(angrily)'' My best friends are diamonds! You can't beat me, stop trippin'. |
| 210 | * HartmanHips: She has "an ass that won't quit" as she puts it. |
| 211 | * IconicOutfit: She wears the iconic white dress from ''Film/TheSevenYearItch''. |
| 212 | * LetsGetDangerous: Her first verse, while insulting, is moderate compared to Cleopatra. At the end of her second verse, she takes off her earrings and becomes nasty. |
| 213 | * LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Lampshaded by all her many lovers. |
| 214 | * MarilynManeuver: Does this at multiple times throughout the battle, even resulting in a PantyShot during her final line. Mocked by Cleopatra who tells her keep her skirt down. |
| 215 | * MoodSwinger: In the second half of her battle with Cleopatra. |
| 216 | * ProudBeauty: She's incredibly beautiful and is well aware of that fact, boasting about her "ass that won't quit" and deriding Cleopatra as ugly. |
| 217 | * ReallyGetsAround: She proudly admits to having gotten around a lot, adding that her opponent forgot a few (namely Creator/MarlonBrando and UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy.) |
| 218 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Slightly more modest than her opponent, but only slightly. |
| 219 | * SerialSpouse: Cleopatra mocks her for being married thrice (and for being childless in all of them). |
| 220 | * UglyGuyHotWife: She's Marilyn Monroe and Cleopatra slams her for sleeping with so many ugly guys. |
| 221 | -->'''Cleopatra:''' You'll sleep with any ugly dude who says [[Film/SomeLikeItHot he likes it hot]]\ |

| 227 | -> '''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 228 | ->''"Let me just step right in. I got things to invent!"'' |
| 229 | ---- |
| 230 | * AnalogyBackfire: He says a man uses a PC to pay taxes and uses a Mac to listen to the Beatles while he relaxes. Bill Gates' expression at this line clearly spells "That means your stuff is worthless because ''my'' tech helps the man in question not become a ''criminal'' and yours does not." [[note]]Since tax evasion, intentional or not, is a very strong crime in most if not all countries.[[/note]] |
| 231 | * AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:He doesn't die; his body dissolves after he says that he's leaving so he can make Heaven turn a profit.]] |
| 232 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Both subtly implied by himself (see AnalogyBackfire) and less subtly stated by Gates. |
| 233 | * BadassBookworm: Like Bill he is a rapping, hugely successful, tech guy. |
| 234 | * BerserkButton: The only time he seemed geuninely angry in the battle is when Gates accuses him of stealing the credit from Steve Wozniak (Apple's co-founder.) |
| 235 | * BlasphemousBoast: What else can you consider [[spoiler: outright stating he intends to turn a profit in heaven?]] |
| 236 | * DeliberatelyJumpingTheGun: He starts rapping before the announcer can introduce him and tries to blitz Gates with that early advantage, while also living up to his reputation of being an impatient man. |
| 237 | -->'''Announcer:''' Bill Gates!\ |
| 238 | Versus--\ |
| 239 | '''Jobs:''' Let me just step right in, I got things to invent! |
| 240 | * EvenNerdsHaveStandards: Implies that Gates is too much of a nerd; "I'm a pimp, you're a nerd." |
| 241 | * FriendlyEnemy: He and Gates are obviously friends even though they unleash cutting snark on each other. |
| 242 | * GladIThoughtOfIt: Gates accuses him of stealing the credit for other people's work. |
| 243 | * InsufferableGenius: Gates considers him to be one. "You arrogant prick!" |
| 244 | * InsultBackfire: Steve finishes his first verse by mocking the name of Bill's company with a dick joke, so Bill returns the favor 3 times with his very first line: |
| 245 | -->'''Bill''': "You blow Jobs, you arrogant prick." |
| 246 | -->"With your secondhand jeans and your turtleneck"[[note]]First pun: mocks Steve's name by conflating it with a blowjob. Second pun: Bill calls Steve a prick, which is a slang term for a penis. Third pun: "turtleneck" is a slang term for the foreskin. So he's effectively saying Steve is uncircumcised[[/note]]. |
| 247 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: The only time Gates gets a direct reaction from Jobs is when he points out the real life tendency of Jobs to take credit for the work of others, then asks if Steve Wozniak wrote the lyrics that Jobs is rapping to. |
| 248 | * MoneyDearBoy: InUniverse, Jobs confirms that ultimately he only cares about profit. |
| 249 | * RageQuit: Gets increasingly worked up as his lines are refuted by Gates, until he up and leaves to [[spoiler: Turn heaven a profit]]. |
| 250 | * StealthPun: Steve hurls one at Bill, at the end of his first verse: |
| 251 | -->'''Steve''': ''(smirking)'' I need to bring up some basic shit. |
| 252 | --> Like why'd you name your company after ''[[TeenyWeenie your DICK??]]'' |
| 253 | * StoicSpectacles: Studious, but not aloof. |
| 254 | * TechnicianVsPerformer: Embodies the performer side. Many of his arguments revolve around artists and creative types preferring Apple products, and that people enjoy them more. Reflected in his background, which is a colorful screensaver, contrasting Gates' 3d MatrixRainingCode |
| 255 | * WorthyOpponent: To Gates who respects him. |
| 256 | * YourMom: When he makes a reference about making the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface GUI]] that Melinda Gates uses, he does so complete with eyebrows raised and a hip thrusting dance move. |

| 269 | * BadassBookworm: He looks the part with his glasses and vest; he's very dangerous. |
| 270 | * BoringButPractical: And proud of it. He repeatedly makes jabs at Steve and his products for being overpriced and impractical while contrasting his own work, which he characterizes as what people with jobs use. |
| 271 | * DeadpanSnarker: |
| 272 | -->'''Steve Jobs''': All the people with the power to create use an Apple! |
| 273 | -->'''Bill Gates''': And people with [[StealthPun jobs]] use PC. |

| 275 | * FriendlyEnemy: In retrospect, his and Jobs' rap battle was affectionate, and far and away the least antagonistic match-up in the series. |

| 321 | * BerserkButton: Don't use racial slurs around him. |
| 322 | * BoringInsult: He yawns during the middle of Mercury's first verse. |
| 323 | * TheBully: Mercury accuses him as one thanks to his jabs at his sex life and choice of clothing. |
| 324 | * CulturedBadass: He has tons of class and kicks lots of ass. |
| 325 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Freddie accuses him of having this because all Frank can do is sing, and only in a certain style. Sinatra doesn't act [[note]] Mercury must've forgotten Sinatra won the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Supporting Actor for ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' [[/note]], dance and he didn't write songs ([[{{Irony}} especially the one called "My Way"]], as Mercury points out.) |

| 328 | * DeliberateValuesDissonance: |
| 329 | ** He's clearly a product of his times, for better or for worse, including using terms like "coloreds" which wouldn't fly today. |
| 330 | ** For all his rather offensive remarks towards Mercury's camp-ness, he maintains that he has nothing against gays (or other races) and is friends with Music/SammyDavisJr, and is disgusted by Mercury's own racist comments. [[note]] In real life Sinatra was prominently featured in a short film that was against racism, among other anti-racist efforts.[[/note]] His ridiculing of Freddie has as much to do with Mercury's promiscuity as it does with his orientation. |
| 331 | * DirtyCoward: Freddie Mercury calls him this by [[ShownTheirWork referencing how Sinatra did not serve in WWII]], and at the time was vilified for it. [[note]] The truth is that Frank was rejected by the draft board.[[/note]] |
| 332 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He'll make fun of Freddy Mercury for being blatantly bisexual, but tossing out slurs is below him. |
| 333 | * FairForItsDay: InUniverse. While he's not a bigot, per se, he's perfectly willing to mock Mercury's bisexuality and promiscuity. |
| 334 | * GoodOldWays: Clearly prefers the aesthetics of his own time; he thinks that Freddie's dressed down style and larger than life antics lack class and refinement. |
| 335 | * GroinAttack: Mercury thinks that his music is like a soundtrack to a vasectomy. |
| 336 | * {{Irony}}: Pointed out by Mercury. One of his greatest hits was "My Way" and it was written by somebody else. |
| 337 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Makes several jokes about Freddie's bisexuality, and one about Freddie getting AIDS. However, he loves "the colors and the queers" and you can ask Music/{{Sammy Davis|Jr}} if you don't believe him. And he calls out Freddie Mercury on his racist remarks. |
| 338 | * LiteralAssKissing: Mercury's final line taunts Sinatra that he'll force the latter to do this. |

| 397 | * KickTheDog: Doesn't hesitate to make snide remarks about Obama's parents, allude to Obama growing up as a child of divorce that had little knowledge of his father, or insult Michelle Obama. The closest Obama comes to that level is making a joke about Mormon polygamy that was just an excuse to flip Romney off. |
| 398 | * LanternJawOfJustice: Claims to have a strong chin and stronger raps while also being better suited as America's president. |
| 399 | * MeaningfulName: Obama jokes he's called Mitt because he's the Republican's [[PuppetKing puppet]]. [[AssShove Specifically, a sock puppet...]] |

| 422 | * TheComicallySerious: He has a demeanor of a well-mannered and level-headed gentleman but true to the nature of Epic Rap Battle of History, he frequently dances in a over-the-top manner and cracks jokes at Mitt such as when he compares him to a cheesecake since he's rich and white. |
| 423 | * DirtyCommunist: Accused of being a "stuttering communist" by Romney. |

| 546 | * CompositeCharacter: He's Clint Eastwood alright, and many jokes are made about the actual person, but he also seems to be an amalgamation of Eastwood, The Man With No Name (whom his appearance and mannerisms are based on), Dirty Harry (quoting him a few times), and Walt Kowalski (sharing his grumpy old man tendencies and racism). |

| 553 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He says that he can [[ClintSquint squint]] better than an Asian dude [[DeliberateValuesDissonance and that Bruce should be working in a sweatshop]]. This is most likely borrowed from Clint's ''Film/GranTorino'' character, Walt Kowalski. |
| 554 | * PrecisionFStrike: Done during his BadassBoast at the end of his first verse. |
| 555 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: The end of his first verse, with bullets and an f bomb. |
| 556 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Bruce's Red. He barely fights in his background, but when he does, it's quick and calm. |
| 557 | * RelativeButton: Indirectly mentions Brandon Lee's death on the set of ''Film/TheCrow1994'' in his finishing line. |
| 558 | * RevolversAreJustBetter: He mows down a large posse of gunslingers (and blasts an airborne chair to splinters) effortlessly with one. |

| 571 | -> '''Watson Played by:''' Creator/KyleMooney |
| 572 | ->''"Dissing these dynamic douchebags was elementary, my dear Watson."'' |
| 573 | ---- |
| 574 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: |
| 575 | ** Holmes successfully deduces Batman's identity through a couple of minor similarities. He also puzzles out the event that inspired him to become a crime-fighter. |
| 576 | ** Also in slow motion, he analyzes Batman and plans his way through the next line in his rap. Similar to the famous bare-knuckle boxing scene from the [[Film/SherlockHolmes2009 2009 film]]. |
| 577 | -->'''Holmes''': "This mustn't register on an emotional level. First, [[OrphansOrdeal exploit childhood tragedy]], then gesture with pipe. Watson finishes punchline. Next, acknowledge compliment. Conclude with killer {{Catchphrase}}." |
| 578 | * BadassBookworm: Sherlock's a famous detective and a boxer while his sidekick is a war veteran. |
| 579 | * BreakingSpeech: His second verse is clearly meant to be this: "This mustn't register on an emotional level..." |
| 580 | * {{Catchphrase}}: Invoked by Holmes with 'conclude with killer catchphrase'. |
| 581 | * ColdHam: Holmes has a haughty disposition, but he doesn't raise his voice ([[LargeHam that is, until near the end of his second verse.]]) |
| 582 | * CompositeCharacter: Sherlock Holmes's look is clearly based on that of Creator/BasilRathbone ([[ThrowItIn based on the happy accident that Zach Sherwin looks a lot like him]]), but he carries elements of the 2009 film portrayal. |
| 583 | * CulturalPosturing: |
| 584 | -->'''Watson''': "I heard he has a British butler." |
| 585 | -->'''Holmes''': "Good. Then he'll be used to being [[{{Pun}} served]] by Englishmen." |
| 586 | * DeadlyDoctor: Watson is a doctor some really "ill" raps. |
| 587 | * DyingAlone: According to Batman, this will happen to Holmes because no one likes him. |
| 588 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Holmes is this according to Batman, who claims that people merely tolerates Holmes, hence why Batman expects him to die alone. |
| 589 | * InsufferableGenius: Part of Sherlock's battle plan for the second verse involves acknowledging a compliment. |
| 590 | * KickTheDog: Holmes mocks Batman for the death of his parents. |
| 591 | * SignatureHeadgear: Batman mocks Sherlock's iconic deerstalker cap as looking like a duck. |
| 592 | * SmokingIsCool: It's not Holmes without his DistinguishedGentlemansPipe! |
| 593 | * SophisticatedAsHell: Terms like "Batshit crazy" mix with Sherlock's usual eloquence. |
| 594 | * TheWatson: Watson's lines are typically asking Sherlock to explain something or himself stating the obvious. |

| 600 | ---- |
| 601 | * AdaptationalDumbass: The canonical Batman is defined by his intellect and wit, whereas this version of the Bat is shown to be crass, immature, and borderline monosyllabic. |
| 602 | * AdaptationalJerkAss: While Batman in most continuities is foreboding and standoffish to a fault, this version in particular comes off as mindlessly aggressive at all times, even to Robin, his sidekick and (possible) adopted son. |
| 603 | * BadassNormal: Batman's lack of powers are not only mocked by Sherlock and Watson but their absence helped them figure out his secret identity. |
| 604 | * BigStupidDoodooHead: In contrast to the dry, ironic wit displayed in the source material, this version of the Caped Crusader's taunts are far more boorish, crude, and juvenile. |

| 612 | * BrattyHalfPint: Robin is a teenager and more bratty than punny. |
| 613 | * CampStraight: Robin has effeminate mannerisms, but claims to have slept with Irene Adler. |
| 614 | * {{Catchphrase}}: As usual, "I'm Batman." |
| 615 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Batman mentions that he only puts his ward's life on the line only when he needs him. Robin interprets this as his cue to pop in. |
| 616 | * TheComicallySerious: Batman is depicted here as an exaggerated parody of his DarkerAndEdgier Nolanverse portrayal, with his grim appearance and deep, gravelly voice contrasted with immature dialogue and goofy body language. |
| 617 | * CrimefightingWithCash: Part of Holmes' deduction as to how Batman [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys maintains his crimefighting gear]]. |
| 618 | -->'''Holmes:''' I deduce that this deuce stain is Bruce Wayne!\ |
| 619 | '''Watson:''' The billionaire?\ |
| 620 | '''Holmes:''' Yes, his wealth would allow this adversary of ours to afford the toys he needs...\ |
| 621 | '''Watson:''' [[MockingSingSong Since he has no superpowers!]] |
| 622 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Batman, natch. He wears a black mask and costume and the sky is filled with dark clouds during his verses. Doesn't make him any less of a hero. |
| 623 | * {{Facepalm}}: Batman's reaction to his sidekick's antics. |
| 624 | * HypercompetentSidekick: While most of Batman's insults are a bit playground and he doesn't have much flow to his raps, Robin's MotorMouth style displays a lot more skill. |
| 625 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Batman isn't a warm and fuzzy person (and he all but dismisses his sidekick), he shows much more concern for the lives of the people that he's fighting to protect. He even calls Holmes out for willingly putting people in danger to solve a mystery, which is something he would never do. |
| 626 | * {{Keet}}: Robin's enthusiasm is a contrast to Bat's usual mood. |
| 627 | * KickTheDog: Calling out Sherlock for needlessly putting his allies in danger is one thing; claiming this makes him TheFriendNobodyLikes and that he'll end up DyingAlone with nothing but his drug addiction is another. |
| 628 | * MadLibsCatchPhrase: Robin's "Holy Conan Doyle!" |
| 629 | * MotorMouth: Robin's lines are very fast. |
| 630 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Rather than making lighthearted comments or funny lines, Batman is dead serious. |
| 631 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Robin, who looks like he was pulled from the 1960's with a mask similar to an animated version in contrast to Batman in his modern film costume. |
| 632 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Batman beat Superman in a fight at some point according to [[Characters/ERBSeason3 Son Goku]]. |
| 633 | * PresentAbsence: While he only makes a voiceless cameo during the Joker vs. Pennywise in Season 6 (alongside Superman and Wonder Woman at that), he was mentioned ''a lot''. The same could be said about Robin, but the one mentioned there was Jason Todd while the SecretIdentity of this one is unknown. |
| 634 | * ShoutOut: A lot of this Batman seems to be based on Website/CollegeHumor's Batman. |
| 635 | * TheStoic: Invoked by Batman ("[[NoSenseOfHumor Nothing makes me laugh!]]"). |
| 636 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "So bring it on, bitch... ''I'm Batman''." |
| 637 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Batman seems to have little patience for his sidekick, but doesn't bring him into danger if he can help it. |

| 678 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Moses threatens to do this to him like he did with the Red Sea. |

| 830 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He considers Babe Ruth setting records prior to black men being allowed to compete in baseball was akin to "having a pasta contest without Italy". |
| 831 | * GroinAttack: Babe mocks Armstrong for losing a testicle to cancer. |
| 832 | * HairTriggerTemper: He’s filled with rage throughout the entirety of the battle. Ruth proceeds to mock his temperament. |
| 833 | --> '''Ruth:''' With all that blood and attitude, you're like [[AllPeriodsArePMS a menstrual cyclist!]] |
| 834 | * HeroicBuild: In contrast to the pudgy Ruth he calls himself the height of physical condition. |
| 835 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Yells at Babe Ruth for not training while he's under fire for taking steroids which is act that is far more unsportsmanlike than not training for a sport. |
| 836 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Claims he did what he had to do to win. |
| 837 | * JerkJock: He's pretty hostile towards Babe Ruth and even calls Oprah "a fat woman". |
| 838 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Proudly boasts about having doped to win at the start of the battle, only for Ruth to ''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech completely shred him]]'' for it in his second verse. [[OhCrap Lance's face as Ruth goes off on him says it all.]] |
| 839 | * PaedoHunt: Courtesy of Ruth, who accuses him of molesting one of the Olsen Twins, in reference to Armstrong having dated Ashley Olsen. |
| 840 | -->'''Babe Ruth:''' Third base with an Olsen twin; that's the sin, face it!\ |

| 848 | * BerserkButton: He hates cheaters. |
| 849 | * BigEater: Mentions food several times within the battle (for example, asking Lance to bring him some French fries) and Lance lists "choking down food" as one of his sins. |
| 850 | * BigFun: Unaffected by his weight and Lance's attacks in regards to it; even asks him for some French Fries. Lance describes him as a FatBastard. |
| 851 | * BrilliantButLazy: Lance suggests that he could have done even better than he did if he had bothered to train. |
| 852 | * BoringInsult: He says that Armstrong is as boring as the Tour de France is to watch. |
| 853 | * CombatCompliment: Starts off by congratulating Lance on his physique and that he beat cancer. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Then he goes to town on the guy.]] |
| 854 | * EagleLand: He is reflective of the more flattering variety of the trope; big on sportsmanship, high personal confidence, and made a name for himself by his own merits. |
| 855 | * TheGift: Lance points out that he was great at his sport despite the fact that he never trained. |
| 856 | * HeartwarmingOrphan: He found his way to fortune and fame. |

| 862 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: Lance claims that he was only able to set all the records he did because black players weren't allowed to compete against him. |

| 873 | * AgentPeacock: He's a bit foppish, but still capable of some nasty burns. |
| 874 | * BadassBoast: "I ROCKED HARDER THAN YOU WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD!" |
| 875 | * ChildProdigy: In his youth he was already talented; see his boast (Hell, it's not the current page quote for this trope for nothing.) |
| 876 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Not physically, but his name was written on Santa Claus' naughty list five battles earlier. |
| 877 | * ElegantClassicalMusician: In Skrillex's opinion this is inverted; his wooden instruments and classical style of dress make him look stupid. |
| 878 | * IResembleThatRemark: After Skrillex claims that he has an unhealthy obsession with ToiletHumor, he makes two feces-based jokes about Skrillex's music. |
| 879 | * KissingCousins: Skrillex claims that Mozart and his cousin Maria Anna Thekla engaged in more than kissing. |
| 880 | * LargeHam: From his flamboyant demeanor to screaming his lines at Skrillex about how subpar his music is at the end. |
| 881 | * StarvingArtist: Referenced by Skrillex in that Mozart died broke and worthless despite being a musical prodigy. |
| 882 | * TeenyWeenie: Skrillex claims he has a "little magic flute". |
| 883 | * ToiletHumor: Skrillex claims he's obsessed with poop jokes. Mozart makes no attempt to deny it, making two such jokes throughout the battle. |

| 894 | * EmpathicEnvironment: Skrillex is unique in that his background is '''completely''' affected by the track. |
| 895 | * HotBlooded: Lots of shouting and aggression; even his background is agitated. |
| 896 | * NerdGlasses: This is why Mozart calls him an 'emo Steve Urkel'. |
| 897 | * NightmareFace: Briefly has one in his first verse when he says he's a "scary monster." |
| 898 | * ThePigPen: He apparently reeks of [[{{Music/deadmau5}} dead]] [[ShoutOut mouse]]. |
| 899 | * TheRockStar: In contrast to Mozart, he has a rougher musical aesthetic. |
| 900 | * SelfMadeMan: Self-proclaimed, while he considers Mozart a {{Tykebomb}} of sorts. |
| 901 | * SpecsOfAwesome: His glasses go well with his clothes and hair. |

| 908 | -> '''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 909 | ->''"Big dick mystic, known to hypnotize!"'' |
| 910 | ---- |
| 911 | * ActuallyQuiteCatchy: If you watch him during [[spoiler:Gorbachev's and Putin's verses]], he's half-heartedly dancing to the beat. |
| 912 | * AlmightyJanitor: Rasputin never held a position of power like his four opponents, but nevertheless still left a mark on history via his manipulations of the Czar's wife. |
| 913 | * BeardOfEvil: His infamous long beard. |
| 914 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Rasputin belonged to a sect that believed sin was finite, so [[InsaneTrollLogic sinning in abundance meant others couldn't.]] Even he thinks Stalin's an unforgivable bastard. |
| 915 | * GagPenis: Claims that he is a "big dick mystic", and Stalin makes reference to his "moose cock". |
| 916 | * GroinAttack: Stalin makes reference to the rumor that Rasputin was castrated upon death. |
| 917 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Goes hand in hand with the trope below. |
| 918 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: His voice is as raspy as it is deep. |
| 919 | * HypnoticEyes: His superpower according to legend and he threatens to use it to control Stalin's wife. |
| 920 | * IgnoredEnemy: Becomes increasingly disregarded by his opponents as the battle goes on. Lenin throws a verse his way but otherwise focuses entirely on chewing out Stalin, Gorbachev gives him one line about needing a shower, and Putin pretty much ignores him completely. |
| 921 | * KryptoniteFactor: In reference to Stalin's [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Name to Run Away from Really Fast]] |
| 922 | -->"If you're the [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Man of Steel]], I spit Kryptonite." |
| 923 | * KubrickStare: That creepy stare is part of his 'creepy mystic' vibe. |
| 924 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Points out that he controlled Czar Nicholas II by hypnotizing his wife, and threatens to do the same to Stalin. |
| 925 | * NoEyeInMagic: Much of his performance is in the eyes, between {{Kubrick Stare}}s and {{Death Glare}}s, as befitting his character. However, when your opponent is [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness Josef Stalin]], even the infamous EvilSorcerer is powerless. |
| 926 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: His voice is impressively deep, but aside from his first few lines, there's not a hint of an accent in there. |
| 927 | * ThePigpen: [[spoiler:Gorbachev]] says he needs a shower. |
| 928 | * RasputinianDeath: [[invoked]] Stalin says the "[[GroinAttack pickled]] [[GagPenis moose cock]]" was getting off easy. It's also subverted -- Stalin threatens to hang and shoot him in a trench before starving him to death, but otherwise it's not even referenced -- [[GeniusBonus because Rasputin didn't die that way, contrary to his legend.]] |
| 929 | * ReligiousBruiser: Proudly mentions his status as a monk, and looks like he'd be more than happy to wring Stalin's neck. |
| 930 | * VillainCred: Despite his low opinion of Stalin, he seems to find his rhymes good, as evident by his brief nod of approval at the end of Stalin's verse. |
| 931 | * WasItReallyWorthIt: Basically, his thesis regarding the history of the Soviet Union, from the revolution against the Tsarist empire to the "union of ruinous states" it [[WhyWeAreBummedCommunismFell eventually became]], thanks Stalin's dictatorial methods and WeHaveReserves mentality. |
| 932 | * WizardBeard: Naturally, being a hypno mystic he has the long beard for it. |
| 933 | * YourMom: Refers to how he gained influence over Tsar Nicholas through Nicholas' wife, and threatens to do the same to Stalin. |

| 940 | -->You think I give a fuck about my wife? My own son got locked up in prison, and I didn't save his life! |
| 941 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Threatens to shoot Rasputin's family, friends, and pierogi sellers. |
| 942 | * AxCrazy: The way he goes on about how he'll kill Rasputin and anyone who had any sort of connection with him definitely paints him as unstable: |
| 943 | -->I'll leave your neck in a noose in a trench and shot!\ |
| 944 | Your whole family, shot!\ |
| 945 | All your wizard friends, shot! |
| 946 | -->Anyone who sold you pierogi, shot! |
| 947 | * BadassArmFold: Briefly adopts this pose during Rasputin's verse. |
| 948 | * BadassBoast: |
| 949 | -->See the soul of the man who made ''Mother Russia his bitch''!\ |
| 950 | Dropped a hammer on you harder than I bitch-slapped Hitler! |
| 951 | * CardCarryingVillain: Like Hitler, he enjoys his reputation as one of the most evil men to ever live. |
| 952 | * CommissarCap: Wears one but he is, technically, a government clerk. He's still tough and commanding like the trope. |
| 953 | * DeathGlare: |
| 954 | -->"Look into my eyes you perverted witch." |
| 955 | * DeniedFoodAsPunishment: Threatens to starve Rasputin till he wastes away, which was true in real life as well in the concentration camps. |
| 956 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Taunts Rasputin, the infamous hypnotist, with his eyes. |
| 957 | * DirtyCommunists: The filthiest of them all. Even other communists (like Vladimir Lenin; see below) think he's dirty. |
| 958 | * EvilCripple: Lenin points out he has a withered arm in the same breath as his betrayal. |
| 959 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: {{Defied|Trope}}. He flat out denies this when he scoffs at Rasputin's boast that he can get at him through his wife and ''brags'' about not saving his own son's life. See LackOfEmpathy below. |
| 960 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He hates Nazis, and is very proud of his role in defeating Hitler during WWII. |
| 961 | * EyesNeverLie: Seems to believe this: |
| 962 | -->"Look into my eyes you perverted witch.\ |
| 963 | See the soul of the man who made Mother Russia his bitch!" |
| 964 | * FateWorseThanDeath: He claims that the trope namer for RasputinianDeath ''got off easy'', (we'll just assume that the writers are using the fictional account of Rasputin's death rather than the boring fact that he died immediately after being shot) and threatens to inflict a fate worse than death before moving on to [[AndYourLittleDogToo killing everyone Rasputin ever knew, loved, or bought pierogies from.]] |
| 965 | ** When Stalin said he would starve Rasputin until he wasted away, it's either as a preparation for the execution or as a contingency if Rasputin survived both the hanging and the shooting. |
| 966 | *** Also probably a reference to the fact that Stalin starved many, many people, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor some as a strategy of genocide]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko#Consequences_of_Lysenkoism some as a result of listening to the wrong scientists]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Vavilov some as a method of execution]]. |
| 967 | * FreudianExcuse: As Rasputin put it, "Your daddy beat you like a dog and now you're evil". |
| 968 | * {{Jerkass}}: He raps in a way that would indicate that his atrocities are ''something to be '''proud''' of''. |
| 969 | -->'''Stalin''': You think I give a fuck about my wife? '''My own son got locked up in prison and I didn't save his life!''' |
| 970 | * InstantlyProvenWrong: Stalin boasts about being Lenin's pride, [[spoiler:only for Lenin to show up immediately saying he has no pride for him]]. |
| 971 | * LackOfEmpathy: He just doesn't care how many people died because of him. Even his family wasn't safe. |
| 972 | * APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: [[spoiler:Lenin's opinion of him.]] It sounds like ''Franchise/StarWars''. |
| 973 | -->'''[[spoiler:Lenin]]''': ''You let your heart grow dark, and stopped the greatest revolution since the birth of Marx!'' |
| 974 | * PerpetualFrowner: Frowns and snarls are his only expressions. |
| 975 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: General Secretary of the Soviet Union. |
| 976 | * RedRightHand: [[spoiler: Lenin]] compares his withered loyalty to his right hand... which confuses Stalin, since it's his ''left'' arm that was stunted from a childhood accident. |
| 977 | * TheSociopath: He clearly feels no regret for his evil actions, even being proud of them. |
| 978 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Lenin]] says he was supposed to be his right-hand man but he betrayed him. |
| 979 | * ToThePain: Threatens Rasputin hanging, shooting, starvation, and then laying in a trench. See FateWorseThanDeath. |

| 982 | -->''"Anyone who sold you pie[=RRR=]ogi, SHOT!"'' |
| 983 | * {{Unperson}}: His tendency to do this, specifically with Trotsky who he literally "took out of the picture", is mentioned. |
| 984 | * WitchWithACapitalB: Stalin calls Rasputin a "perverted witch," both in reference to the Mad Monk's supposed mysicism and because he needed an insult to rhyme with "bitch". |
| 985 | * YouCanKeepHer: Brags about refusing to save his son who was taken prisoner by the Nazis. |

| 992 | * BerserkButton: Lenin believes that Stalin's actions completely ruined the goals of the Russian Revolution and is '''''extremely''''' angry about it. In particular, Stalin calling himself "pride of Lenin" towards the end of his verse makes Lenin pissed enough to drop in. |
| 993 | -->'''Stalin:''' Pride of Lenin took Trotsky out of the picture! |
| 994 | -->'''''Lenin drops in from above, full of righteous anger''''' |
| 995 | -->'''Lenin:''' I have ''no pride'' for you who '''ruined everything my revolution was doing to stop the bourgeoisie!''' |
| 996 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: Depicted in red and white, which he mentions during his rap. |
| 997 | * DirtyCommunists: Lots of talk about fighting the bourgeoisie and such but compared to Stalin, he looks downright spotless. |
| 998 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Although he's certainly no angel himself, Lenin is completely disgusted by Stalin and believes he ruined everything the Russian Revolution was fought for. |
| 999 | * ItsPersonal: While he claims that he's there to beat both Rasputin and Stalin, he has a ''lot'' more to say to Stalin than he does Rasputin. [[WeUsedToBeFriends The reasons for this]] [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil should be obvious]]. |
| 1000 | * LargeHam: Served Russian style; powerful and grim. |
| 1001 | * NeutralInNameOnly: He claims he's here to "spit a thesis against both of [Rasputin and Stalin's] asses", but he spends almost his whole verse attacking Stalin due to the personal history between them. |
| 1002 | * NoIndoorVoice: It's Lincolnesque in its volume. |
| 1003 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: has this red and white rotoscope effect that makes him look like an animated propaganda poster. |
| 1004 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Lenin just sounds like an angry Nice Peter. |
| 1005 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He is ''very'' pissed about how the Russian Revolution was ruined by Stalin. In fact, his ''first line'' is to debunk Stalin's "pride of Lenin" remark. |
| 1006 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted - he isn't the only Vladimir to show up in his battle. See below. |
| 1007 | * SpeakOfTheDevil: He pops in after Stalin claims to be "The pride of Lenin" to refute that remark. It also sets a precedent for Gorbachev and Putin to find an excuse so they can get in on the action as well. |
| 1008 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: Premier of the Soviet Union. |

| 1012 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Calls Stalin out for betraying his trust but it's an historical imprecision, as Lenin and Stalin never saw eye to eye, despite what Stalin's propaganda said. |

| 1028 | * KnightOfCerebus: Inverted. His predecessors were [[GagPenis still]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking pretty]] [[Literature/{{Goosebumps}} silly]], but they rapped about parental abuse, tyranny, murder, and betrayal. The darkest Gorbachev gets is blaming them for the Cold War. |
| 1029 | * LethalJokeCharacter: He seems like just a friendly, goofy guy at first, but he spits very hot raps. |
| 1030 | * NiceGuy: Comparitively speaking, he's the contestant with the least skeletons in his closet. Most of his rhymes are good-natured and focused on his accomplishments instead of putting the other guys down. |
| 1031 | * OddNameOut: He's the only contestant in the battle that doesn't have an "in" attached to the end of his name (or nickname, in the case of Stalin and Lenin). He uses this to make a diss that hits ''all'' of his opponents (retroactively including the yet-to-enter Putin as well). |
| 1032 | --> "If your name end with "in", ''time to get out!''" |
| 1033 | * PerpetualSmiler: He's got a giant smirk on his face the whole time. |
