    Shared Tropes 

    Major Members 

Vini Vidi Victory!

Leader of the Mighty Dexteras

The founder and leader of the Mighty Dexteras. Once a punk coming from a bad neighborhood, he realized his full potential as a hero after tasting real toughness from the gym. He joined TWF and leads the Mighty Dexteras against the Sinistras.

  • American Accents: He speaks in a thick Joisey accent.
  • Big Good: Takes on a role as a more supporting character in the later seasons.
  • Blue Is Heroic: The base of his mask is blue, and he is the leader of the Mighty Dexteras.
  • Chick Magnet: If the female fan's reactions to him are any indication.
  • Demoted to Extra: After winning the Royal Thumble with Face-Off Phil in Season 2, he didn’t appear in any matches afterwards despite being the leader, only appearing on the sidelines from then on. It was even lampshaded by Mr. Extremo in Dexteras Respond.
    Vini Vidi Victory!: Didn't you try to block him?
    Mr. Extremo: You know, that's some big talk coming from a guy who hasn't wrestled in three years!
  • Finishing Move: His Vini Vidi Vada-Voom. It's a powerful move but it is prone to being intercepted.
  • Jack of All Stats
  • The Leader: He is the leader of the Mighty Dexteras.
  • Orange/Blue Contrast: His mask.
  • The Worf Effect: He has the word "victory" in his name, yet was beaten by The Big Time in the quarter-finals.

Wasabi

Poet Laureate of the Dexteras

A wrestler who slams her opponents with poetry. Once a shy girl when she was young, she found her true calling as a poet. Afterwards, she joined TWF and the Mighty Dexteras, giving them another powerhouse.

  • Action Girl: She is the most successful of the female Dexteras.
  • Finishing Move: The Best Poem Ever. She whispers into her opponents' ear a poem so amazing that it distracts them, leaving themselves open for a knockout.
  • Meaningful Name: She spits so much fire and spice to her opponents, like wasabi!
  • Out of Focus: She rarely appears in matches past Season 2, despite being a Dextera major.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Played With. Wasabi shows a bit of sassiness at times, and, like The Big Time, the hand that is cast as her is black.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Reciprocrates Pinky's crush on her.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female major Dextera.
  • Warrior Poet: Her main archetype.

Hometown Huck

A True Gentleman Hero

A simple man who is one of the powerhouses of the Dexteras. As a kid, he loves to help others. But one day, after saving his neighbor Martha Lou from a tractor, he realizes that there is more people to help than it seems. He is the champion of Season 1.

  • Alliterative Name
  • All-Loving Hero: His main archetype
  • American Accents: He speaks in a Dixie accent.
  • Butt-Monkey: Has lost more matches that any other major Dextera.
  • Determinator: He survives The Time Bomb from the Big Time in order for the Dexteras to win.
  • Finishing Move: His Hometown Shuffle, though he also uses the Houston Huckster.
  • Force and Finesse: The Finesse to The Big Time’s Force
  • Heroic Second Wind: After The Big Time unleashes the Time Bomb, it looks like it's all over for the Dexteras...but Huck refuses to stay down and uses the last of his stamina to deliver his Limit Break, the Hometown Shuffle, to deliver a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to The Big Time and defeats him with the assistance of Pinky.
  • Idiot Ball: Grabs this big time in his match against Rolf The Reaper, were, after spending most of the match walking all over the Sinistra he accepts a gift from Bucks Gazillion's company, two points for guessing what happens need.
  • The Lancer: Often acts like one to Vini Vidi Victory!.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's almost as strong and tough as he is fast.
  • Nice Guy: His Gimmick
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Downplayed, after winning Season 1 while still having manners and still a nice guy he’s a little more insulting and bullying to Sinstras. Senator Skull even pointed this out. Guess winning the championship made him change a bit.
  • The Worf Effect: Starts out incredibly strong and competent in Series 1 but only wins one of his five matches in Seasons 2 - 4. Averted in Series 5 where he makes a comeback by advancing to the Semifinals.''

Mr. Extremo

Daredevil Extraordinaire

A daring daredevil who does danger. Once an average boy named James Median, he activated his adrenaline rush and love for extreme after an accidental ride on a skateboard. He both won the championships of Season 2 and Season 4.

  • The Ace: He is the ONLY wrestler who won two championships.
  • The Big Guy: Highest power out of all the Dextera Majors.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: He's been through the most torture out of all the Dexteras in Season 4, including getting trapped in a ring of fire, struck by lightning, falling through a trapdoor, and multiple falls from dangerous heights. But thanks to a combination of The Stash's training and lots of ibuprofen, Extremo defeats The Visitor in the Season 4 Championship after getting repeatedly hindered and assaulted by Bucks Gazillion's A.I..
  • Flanderization: He becomes more temperamental in Season 5 since the stress of being a two-time champion was really getting to him.
  • Hammerspace: He somehow manages to procure extreme sports gear at every match.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's not only incredibly strong, but quite fast and agile.
  • Made of Iron: His doctor commented that he should have died over 1,000 times by the Season 4 Championship match.
  • Nerves of Steel: He remains collected even when performing a dangerous stunt, such as performing a human cannonball into a tank of piranhas.
    Mr. Extremo: It's okay, kids! Piranhas do not attack until they smell your fear!
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Has a major one in his final match against The Visitor in the Season 4 Championship, where Bucks Gazillion's giant metal claw slams him to the mat and leaving him open to be pinned by The Visitor. Fortunately, Senator Skull and his band of rogue Sinistras destroy Gazillion Inc.'s central processor and free him from the metal claw.
    • Has a big one in his quarter-final match in Season 5; Just as Extremo was about to defeat Senator Skull, the lights suddenly went out and he's brutally beaten by someone (N Fuego) wearing a black mask, giving Senator Skull the win.
  • Surfer Dude: He speaks like one.
  • The Lancer: Becomes this in season 5 as he snarks at Vini’s leadership.
  • Totally Radical: All of his dialogue are spiced with this. Senator Skull failed to make fun of him of this trait.
    Senator Skull: Who wants to see me take out this... uh... totally... untubular dude!
    Mr. Extremo: I guess your evil scheme for this match involves a time machine because I haven't heard anyone say "tubular" since 1993!
    Senator Skull: Curses!
  • The Worf Effect: Got a taste of this when he was beaten by The Lost Viking.

Face-Off Phil

  • An Ice Person: Can generate ice and snow by skating in the ring.
  • Berserk Button: If you insult his beloved Canada and its national sport, you better be prepared to say your prayers.
  • The Big Guy: Shares this role with Mr. Extremo.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: His match against Senator Skull, where he outclasses the Sinistra leader in pretty much every turn.
  • Every Year They Fizzle Out: He was expected to make the semifinals again in the 4th season but lost to hot-headed Sinistra N Fuego. It's somewhat downplayed, given that Fuego's power, agility and stamina were all higher than Phil's.
  • Hot-Blooded: Whenever Phil gets angry he usually becomes incredibly aggressive and impulsively acts out in irrational ways to cope with his anger.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Downplayed. He's fast on his skates, but otherwise, his Agility is merely ok, compared to his greater-than-average Power.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: His match against Bucks Gazillion ends in him receiving one from 8 Sinistras that the evil billionaire called as backup.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's terrified of figure skaters.

Danny Kaboom

Explosion-loving Science Geek

A nerd who has penchant for explosions. Once a loser with no goals, a fateful explosion from Science class blasted him to Dextera HQ; his fellow Dexteras taught him how to use his prowess for explosions more proficiently. Weak at first, under training from The Stash, he has managed to reach the semifinals of Season 4.

  • Ascended Extra: He was once a minor character before managing to reach the semifinals of Season 4. He’s considered The Visitor’s Dextera counterpart.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: In his match versus The Big Time, Danny uses the Sinistras' fans' "It's time for the Time Bomb!" response to set up an actual time bomb.
  • Crazy-Prepared: He's poisoned by a powerful stink bomb planted by Steve as part of a plan to help Mugsy Thumbscrew defeat him, but manages to regain himself through sheer willpower and lead Mugsy to a spare landmine he installed on the mat, winning Danny his quarterfinal match and advancing to the semi-finals.
    Danny Kaboom: Every good demolitions expert keeps a spare landmine for emergencies!
  • Demolitions Expert: His Main Trope
  • Glass Cannon: His Power level is great, but his Stamina is middling at best.
  • Mad Bomber: He specializes in explosions of all sorts.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Has two consecutive ones in his semi-final match in Season 4 when Bucks Gazillion fires up the exhaust system to disperse the haze created by his explosions and later when The Visitor lights the fuse on his last dynamite with his heat vision.
    • Has one in his quarter-final match in Season 5 when The Big Time defuses his time bomb with only one millisecond on the clock.
  • Mighty Glacier: As mentioned above, his Power level is great but his Agility is low.
  • The Smart Guy: One of the Smartest TWF Wrestlers.
  • Took a Level in Badass: He went from a wimpy, pushover loser of a thumb to one of the Dexteras's best fighters who even made the semi-finals in Season 4.

High-kicking Hero

A football player coming from England. He believes in good sportsmanship and playing by the rules. He won the championship in Season 5.

  • Chekhov's Gun: His diary. He has written all of his experiences in TWF in his diary. It has also help his fellow Dexteras trust him.
  • Fish out of Water: At first, he was unable to understand American culture. Colonel Cossack, of all people, taught him how America works; he accepted his help due to Colonel Cossack being the only one who offered to do so. This did not help his case in his teammates' accusations.
  • Foil: He is more or less the Dexteras' answer to Bucks Gazillion. Both wrestlers are voiced by Marc Thompson, the faces on their masks appear similar, they were champions of their respective debut season, and have caused some shocking moments (although Cleat's was an in-universe one).
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's incredibly swift, doesn't get tired easily, and a hard-hitting Dextera.
  • Sixth Ranger: Earned his place among the Dexteras' major wrestlers after winning the Season 5 championship match, and beating three of the major Sinistras- Itsy Bitsy, Senator Skull, and The Big Time- to boot.
  • The Mole: He was accused of sabotaging Mr. Extremo's match against Senator Skull, losing his fellow members' trust in him. Luckily, he was not this.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Especially if that girl is Itsy Bitsy. Also, he kicked a soccer ball at one of the fangirls of The Big Time to get him to focus on their match.

    Minor Members 

Unit 19G

Lacks Opposable Thumbs

A resilient robot built by the Dexteras. Although unable to feel emotions, he is still just as heroic as the other Dexteras.

  • Characterisation Marches On: Initially portrayed as not being able to fight other wrestlers due to being Three Laws-Compliant, however in later seasons he was shown as being perfectly capable of fighting, presumably in-universe he was reprogrammed to fight.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: The only dance he knows is The Robot, which doesn't help much in the dance-off in his match with N Fuego.
  • Kill It with Water: This robot is extremely vulnerable to water, which makes it short-circuit if it enters its system.
  • Made of Iron: Unless it's a water-based attack, this robot's metal chassis makes it incredibly durable to attacks from Sinistras. Even Mugsy Thumbscrew struggled heavily against this robot with a wooden crowbar.
  • Ridiculously Human Robot: His main archetype.

He returns in season 5 where he was back in his Tom Cat form with no explanation, becoming the longest time a TWF wrestler has taken to have a second match out of the ones that do have second matches.

  • 11th-Hour Superpower: In his match against the Big Time, Pinky gives Tom a potion that turns him into a zombie. He still loses.

  • Didn't Think This Through: In her match against Rolf the Reaper, she used her Sonar to summon sea creatures to fight Rolf. They were ineffective.
    Rolf the Reaper: Dummkopf, fish can't fight on land!

Pierre Pamplemousse

  • Glass Cannon: His Stamina is merely ok compared with his other stats.
  • Lethal Chef: His Main Archetype.
  • No-Sell: Was on the receiving end of this. His Signature Move, The Spatula Storm didn’t have any effect on The Big Time.

  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:
  • Contemporary Caveman: He has no idea whatsoever on how the modern world works.
  • Dumb Muscle:
  • Genius Ditz: Played with. Despite being judged as dumb by everyone around him he's able to invent things such as the wheel and belts and shows a surprising amount of ingenuity in Series 4 when he's being trained by The Stash, however, these signs of intelligence are later undermined by later events in his matches when said wheel falls on him or when Queen Nefercreepy uses his love of shiny things to come out on top.
  • Good Counterpart: He's basically the Dextera's version of the Lost Viking, being an ancient warrior they recruited into their ranks.
  • Mighty Glacier: He's more strong and durable than he's fast.

  • Lightning Bruiser: A greater emphasis on 'Lightning' than 'Bruiser'. She doesn't hit hard, but she doesn't tire easily.
  • Tomboy: Easily the most butch of the female wrestlers.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Finally proves herself as a Mighty Dextera by taking down Captain Carpal in Season 4 by exploiting his love for his parrot Polly, who, mind you, defeated Knockout Ninja by exploiting his own weakness.

  • Electric Joybuzzer: Pulls on on The Big Time.
  • Informed Attribute: Stated to be a more capable fighter than we see, with Dick claiming you wouldn't want to underestimate him and Milty being inexplicably featured in the season 3 quarter-finals, but he's still yet to win a single match.
  • Masterof None: His Power, Agility and Stamina are all mediocre at best.
  • Monster Clown: Played with. He's fairly innocent and well intentioned but treated as one by Colonel Cossack due to his crippling fear of clowns.

A hot dancer who heats up the arena. A proficient but arrogant dancer when he was in high school before it was burned down by his exquisite dancing. It's said he was a dance instructor before joining TWF.
