History Characters / StarWarsCloneTroopers

Commander Scorch was once a member of the fabled Delta Squad, before being reassigned to Weyland, following the Clone Wars. There, he became head of the [[PraetorianGuard Imperial Royal Guard]] stationed at Mount Tantiss and served directly under Doctor Royce Hemlock during the highly secretive Project: Necromancer.

* AdaptationalJerkass: While Scorch served in the Empire in ''Legends'', his tasks mostly involved hunting down surviving Jedi, their sympathizers and rebels, and there was nothing indicating that he did anything more than that. In Canon, he's the right-hand clone of a mad scientist who experiments on other clones and is even complicit in Hemlock's experiments on kidnapped Force-sensitive children by keeping them contained (and derogatorily [[ItIsDehumanizing referring to them as specimens]]).
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In ''Legends'', he was known for being a wisecracker that enjoyed blowing things up, but grew sour after his squad was forced to leave Sev behind near the end of the Clone Wars, traits he carried over as an Imperial Commando. In Canon, we don't get any hints of this during the Clone Wars, and his personality as an Imperial Commando is much colder and no-nonsense.
* AdaptationalWimp: Scorch in ''Legends'' was depicted as a highly capable, elite soldier who received special training from a Mandalorian, and could hold his own just as well as in tandem with his brothers. In Canon there's no indication he's anything more than an exceptionally competent [[EliteMook Elite]] MookLieutenant who doesn't demonstrate nearly the same level of combat prowess. [[spoiler:To wit, the two onscreen fights Scorch receives in ''The Bad Batch'' can seldom be called fights, as they were incredibly brief and one-sided, with the second one resulting in his death before he could even fire a shot.]]

* CurbStompCushion: Scorch has a brief skirmish against the titular Bad Batch and while he ultimately loses, the fact he's able to flank and incapacitate both Gregor and Tech in seconds speaks to how much of a threat he was to them. [[spoiler:The second time, however, was a straight up a CurbStompBattle, with Scorch getting plugged full of holes before even firing a shot.]]

* TheDragon: Hemlock's right-hand clone who holds authority over the commandos at Mount Tantiss, and is entrusted to carry out assignments on the doctor's behalf. Though Hemlock has others assistants in Emerie Karr and Scalder, the former undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and the latter is [[YouHaveFailedMe removed]] from her position for incompetence, while Scorch remains at Hemlock's side to the very end.

* LackOfEmpathy: Scorch demonstrates a concerning lack of compassion for his fellow clones, being complicit in experimentation and extreme conditioning that most subjects don't survive. He also doesn't bat an eye to the kidnapping of Force sensitive children and isn't above harming them to keep them in line. One notable instance is Emerie commenting, [[EveryoneHasStandards with a hint of surprise]], at Baryn being an infant and Scorch's response is nothing short of cold.

* MookLieutenant: As Hemlock's NumberTwo, Scorch is the Commander of the [[PraetorianGuard Imperial Royal Guard]], a detachment of Clone Commandos stationed at Mount Tantiss. He's the only one among them to retain his traditional color markings, and takes charge when the doctor is absent, [[MissionControl even managing his X Troopers during missions]].
* TheQuietOne: In stark contrast to the game, where he was a wisecracking chatterbox, Scorch tends to say very little, if anything in his early appearances in ''The Bad Batch''. It wasn't until the second season that he actually spoke at all, but he's much more talkative in the third season.

* WouldHurtAChild: He has no problem abducting force-sensitive children for the Empire, and will not hesitate to stun them if they try to escape. Which, given they're locked up and experimented on with no hope of ever being released, they do.

* DueToTheDead: She's introduced piling helmets to honor her fallen brothers, and explaining the tradition to a young Anakin.

Sister was a transgender clone who served in the 7th Sky Corps

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: By default among her squad, for obvious reasons

* AndIMustScream: The clones are all completely aware of what they're doing after Order 66 goes down, and unable to do anything about it no matter how much they try FightingFromTheInside.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: After the rise of the Empire, the Clones were complicit in enforcing Palpatine's will as the first generation of Stormtroopers, usually through an iron grip on the worlds they occupy, and violence against opposition.

* MeaningfulName: Slip pertains to his paranoia in light of Cade's assassination; alternatively, it may also pertain to how he narrowly escapes Clone X the first time.

* AdaptationalWimp: Scorch in ''Legends'' was depicted as a highly capable, elite soldier who received special training from a Mandalorian, and could hold his own just as well as in tandem with his brothers. In Canon, he's just an exceptionally competent MookLieutenant who doesn't demonstrate nearly the same level of combat prowess. [[spoiler:To wit, the two onscreen fights Scorch receives in ''The Bad Batch'' can seldom be called fights, as they were incredibly brief and one-sided, with the second one resulting in his death before he could even fire a shot.]]

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Even though the Empire discarded them, they DID honor them as heroes who brought peace to the Galaxy and defeated the Jedi, portrayed as evil mystics who kidnap children to build up their ranks and tried to overthrow the government and Palpatine, who was going to end the Clone Wars anyway. [[spoiler:Palpatine however, changes his tune on this when the truth on Kamino's destruction is revealed, and paints the clones as soldiers who mindlessly follow orders and cannot be trusted, using this as a justification to replace them with natural born humans as Stormtroopers]].

* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Compared to at least his first fight with the Bad Batch where he stuns two members, his second scuffle is nothing more than him being gunned down before he had a chance to fire a single shot, though it still took at least 3 shots to do him in]]

!!Commander Mayday
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mayday_sw.png]]

-->''"We're good soldiers. We followed orders. And for what?"''

Mayday was a Clone Stormtrooper Commander stationed on Barton-4 during the rise of the Empire, tasked with guarding cargo at an Imperial outpost.

* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Compared to at least his first fight with the Bad Batch where he stuns two members, his second scuffle is nothing more than him being gunned down before he had a chance to fire a single shot.]]

* InNameOnly: Beyond his name and appearance, this iteration of Scorch demonstrates none of the wisecracking DeadpanSnarker personality he's known for, suffering from AdaptationalJerkass, AdaptationalVillainy, ''and'' AdaptationalWimp.

* TookALevelInJerkass: If ''Republic Commando'' is still canon, then he's taken several, going from a DeadpanSnarker who refused to leave a squadmate behind to a cold enforcer of the Empire, who oversees experimentation on other clones, the mass imprisonment of innocents who merely saw a rogue experiment, and managing the X Troopers in their black-ops missions.

Commander Scorch was once a member of the fabled Delta Squad, before being reassigned to Weyland, following the Clone Wars. There, he became head of the [[PraetorianGuard Imperial Royal Guard]] and served directly under Doctor Royce Hemlock during the highly secret Project: Necromancer.

->See his entry on the [[Characters/StarWarsImperialAcademies Imperial Academies]] page.

* FormerlyFit: ''Rebels'' and ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' shows that clones become more pudgy once they reach old age. As a result, certain parts of their armor become too tight for them to wear and they're not as resilient as they used to be. They're still incredibly effective soldiers but the drop in athleticism has made them weaker and less capable than they used to.

* AmbiguousSituation: What caused him to abandon the Empire and join Rex in ''Rebels''? In the ''Bad Batch'', it's heavily implied that letting Rex's rebel cell go might have cost him good standing with the Empire due to breaking protocol, but Wolffe in ''Rebels'' feels safe enough to call the Empire and rat out the rebels, implying that he retired the old fashion way. Whatever the case, it's enough for Wolffe to not fully embrace the Rebellion until the series finale of ''Rebels''

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In ''Legends'', he was known for being a wisecracker that enjoyed blowing things up, but became more sour after his squad was forced to leave Sev behind near the end of the Clone Wars, traits he carried over as an Imperial Commando. In Canon, we don't get any hints to his personality during the Clone Wars, and his personality as an Imperial Commando is much colder and no-nonsense.

* TokenCompetentMinion: Compared to the TK-Troopers and even his fellow Clone Commandos, Scorch is depicted as smarter and more competent, giving the Batch trouble in their first encounter, successfully apprehending villagers who witnessed the cloned Zillo Beast, capturing Omega in the second season finale, and directing the C-X troopers in the third season.

In Canon, we don't get any hints to his Clone War personality, and his post-Clone War personality is much colder and no-nonsense.

* TheBusCameBack: After a voiceless cameo alongside the rest of his squad in ''The Clone Wars'', Scorch returns as a supporting character in ''The Bad Batch''.

* CurbStompCushion: Scorch has a brief skirmish against the titular Bad Batch and while he ultimately loses, the fact he's able to flank and incapacitate both Gregor and Tech in seconds speaks to how much of a threat he was to them.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:He's killed off pretty quickly and easily by Crosshair and Hunter during the GrandFinale of ''The Bad Batch'', not even being able to give them a battle before he falls to his death. For added points, he literally drops off a bridge upon death.]]

* InNameOnly: Beyond his appearance, this iteration of Scorch demonstrates absolutely none of the traits he's known for, suffering from AdaptationalJerkass, AdaptationalVillainy, ''and'' AdaptationalWimp with none of the DeadpanSnarker attribute.
