Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) | comment |
Rogue Trooper is an ongoing science-fiction strip created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons in the British comic 2000 AD and first published in 1981.Against a backdrop of a future war between two factions, the noble Southers and evil Norts, the comic follows Rogue, a G.I. (Genetic Infantryman), and his three comrades' search for the Traitor General, a man in the Souther high command who sold the Southers' battle plans to the Norts, which led to the massacre of all the GIs except Rogue. His comrades are in the form of biochips (onto which a G.I.'s entire personality is downloaded at the time of death for later retrieval) and are named Gunnar (mounted on Rogue's rifle), Bagman (on his backpack) and Helm (on his helmet).After about three years, Rogue finally found and killed the Traitor General. He was again inducted into the Souther army, but then (without a major goal), the comic floundered and ultimately sputtered out.Gibbons returned to the strip in 1990, this time as a writer. He completely rebooted the series with a new character, new war, and new planet. The biochips were done away with, since Gibbons wanted the new protagonist—Friday—to have a more spiritual connection with his comrades. However, the story was basically the same: all but one of the GIs are wiped out in a massacre, and the one survivor goes rogue and treks back to the high command to find out what happened.Gibbons' run was short but well acclaimed. It was pretty self-contained, though left the door open for future stories. After his run ended, Michael Fleisher picked it up and had a new set of adventures as Friday wandered Nu Earth trying to do justice where he could. This run reintroduced the biochips, which—to Gibbons' chagrin—turned out to be the most popular aspect of the Rogue continuity.Steve White took up the writing after Fleisher, and in order to regain interest, he had Friday team up with Rogue, who now existed in the same universe. This move was not well received due to continuity issues and some rather controversial plot points.The series was supposedly ended for good in 1996, though there was the odd spinoff or two. In 2002, popular writer Gordon Rennie revisited the Rogue continuity with a new series of stories set during the hunt for the Traitor General. This series was well received, and Rennie attempted to reboot the continuity for a second time, but his editors blocked him. He has said he would like to write more stories in the Rogue Trooper universe, but these would focus on side characters and what's going on elsewhere on Nu Earth. Rennie would later create The 86ers, based in the same universe, but in a different star system, and Jaegir, focusing on the Norts.Most recently, the comic was adapted into a video game by Rebellion Developments, who currently also publish 2000 AD and have the rights to most of its characters. Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre was released on the PS2, Xbox 360, and PC in 2006, and again on the Wii in 2009. Though it features the characters and premise of the Rogue continuity, the story is very different, and much of the technology has been altered to make the game play "more fun."An animated movie is in production, with Duncan Jones set to direct. | |

Abnormal Ammo | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: In the Rogue continuity, the weapons are described as being "las" based, but they are depicted as ejecting casing like projectile weapons. A close-up of a cartridge reveals that the bullets have lenses, which is somewhat similar to older descriptions of the Imperial Guardsmen las-gun. "Sammies", which are essentially surface-to-air rifle grenades. | |

Fan of the Past | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_1e580ede | comment |
Fan of the Past: A dark version of this trope occurred in the Rogue Trooper story "Fort Neuro". Rogue arrived at the titular fort, hoping to find shelter and some time to let the biochips calm down. However, the stress of holding off a Nort siege for years coupled with isolation caused the four garrisons to degenerate into parodies of Napoleonic France, a 50s British seaside resort, a group of disco freaks, and wannabe supermodels. Rogue and the robots eventually managed to knock some sense into them. | |

Crapsack World | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: While the toxic and war-torn nature of Nu-Earth has been the main part of Rogue Trooper comics, the situation outside of the planet isn't rosy either in the spin-offs. Both the Norts and Southers have large numbers of unemployed veterans—many of whom suffered ill-health from long-term exposure to Nu Earth's toxic atmosphere—which the former's counterpart turned to crime for survival after their military discharge in the comic "Jaegir". Furthermore, it is hinted that many planets on the frontlines suffered just as bad as Nu-Earth. Despite their status as "good guys", the Southers also lean towards authoritarianism, which many citizens with anti-establishment views were "volunteered" for military and Genetic Infantry experiments before Rogue and others were made. | |

Jaegir explores this, showing that some Nort veterans of the fighting on Nu Earth have PTSD that leaves them unable to function without their gas masks, even back on their homeworld and after leaving the military. Therefore even some Nort civilians are now effectively Gas Mask Mooks. | |

State Sec: The Souther Secret Service, more commonly known as S3. They wear grey uniforms with no rank or insignia. Their initials are not coincidental. The spinoff Jaegir heavily features the Nordland State Security Police, with characters from the Office of Genetic Purity; the Office of Patriotic Loyalty; and the protagonist's own Office of Public Truth. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Office of Public Truth in Jaegir comic operated on this principle. The story included Three Nord officials: the first being responsible for destroying a ship with civilians on-board, the second who caused the death of many inhabitants to meet the planet's production quotas, and the third launching a disastrous assault on entrenched position with recruits. The first was assassinated by a sniper due to her illegal action resulted in retaliatory strikes on the civilian populace by Southers, the second was poisoned by a Chem Sister due to the aforementioned-production quotas being done for personal gains, and the third was dropped into a vat full of molten metal for his incompetence. | |

Distant Finale | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: Mercy Heights had a character who resembled Rogue named Tor Cyan. "Remembrance Day" told an edited version of the Quartz Zone Massacre, which tied both strips together. Cyan is shown to be watching the footage and leaves Rogue's battered biochip at a memorial site on Nu Earth, which has had its environment restored to inhabitable and is now abloom with the same blue flowers that Rogue finds. Whether this is still canon is unknown. | |

Alternate Continuity: The video game, up to a point. It follows the original Rogue continuity reasonably closely — a lot of the locations are there, though in a different order.

Zigzagged with Blue Mooners, which were a failed prototype for the Genetic Infantrymen and turned out basically a species of blue dwarves. They're used as cheap labor instead, as whilst not as tough or strong as their successor models, they're still stronger and hardier than humans. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The entire confrontation between the Southers and the Norts, which invokes elements of the British vs. Nazi Germany and/or the American Union vs. the American Confederacy, despite being set in deep space. Southers tend to look down on the Genetic Infantrymen. Norts look down on Sims as violent, savage and stupid... which, admittedly, is technically true, since they are human/ape hybrids engineered for high aggression and low intelligence. The "Dolls", or female-model Genetic Infantrymen, get Fantastic Sexism to go alongside the same Fantastic Racism as their male counterparts. Despite having been engineered to fulfill stealth-based missions as scouts, assassins, saboteurs and commandos, the Dolls were all redirected into non-combatant rolls as glorified secretaries and nurses due to the sexism of Milli-Comp. They were also prohibited from engaging in relationships with their male GI counterparts, but despite this were subject to frequent sexual harassments from human superiors. Even their distinguishing identifier was the moniker "Dolls". Venus Bluegenes, a Doll, expresses contempt for humans on several occassions. | |

The Unreveal: It is never identified which of the four Souther Generals was the Traitor due to massive facial disfigurement.

We Have Reserves: Both sides employ this trope to various levels. The Souther Milli-com will order troops to continue suicidal attacks, while Nort battle commanders will have their men charge enemy positions. In "Realpolitik", the Nort generals note that while War Marshall Zell's strategy of all out assault on Nu Earth will succeed, this victory will come at the cost of draining resources from other war theatres. | |

Canon Welding: A rather infamous example is the crossing over of both continuities into the one universe with the explanation that there were two Nu-Earths. It all got rather messy. The Friday continuity crossed over into Judge Dredd by means of Time Travel.

Meaningful Name | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Rogue got his name long before he went rogue as there was always something different about him compared to other GIs. Friday's came from the fact that he was cloned on a Friday (More specifically, he was a "Friday job", where less attention was put into it, due to the impending weekend) and had a flaw in him, leaving him less brainwashed. And, of course, Colonel Kovert. The three comrades Rogue saves in biochip form are named Helm, Bagman and Gunnar. His equipment has slots for biochips on the helmet, backpack and rifle. Guess who goes where? | |

Dating Catwoman | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_7d163c9c | comment |
Dating Catwoman: Rogue and Venus Bluejeans are very much attracted to each other; Venus' feelings only deepened after she believed he had saved her from an attempted rape by one of her human superiors. She even arranged for Rogue to receive extra protection gear prior to the Quartz Zone Massacre, which was integral to Rogue's survival. However, Venus' darker side repels Rogue, and prevents them from being together. | |

Super-Soldier | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_80b57bec | comment |
Super-Soldier: Both the Southers and the Norts turned to genetic engineering of improved soldiers once Nu-Earth became too toxic for humans to inhabit. The Genetic Infantrymen themselves are physically superior to baseline humans, completely impervious to all but the worst toxic hazards of Nu-Earth, and can use Brain Uploading to cheat death by downloading their minds into bio-chips upon their death; these chips can then be used to upload their mind into a new clone body, or installed into a cybernetic device to provide augmented abilities. Zigzagged with Blue Mooners, which were a failed prototype for the Genetic Infantrymen and turned out basically a species of blue dwarves. They're used as cheap labor instead, as whilst not as tough or strong as their successor models, they're still stronger and hardier than humans. The Norts countered with the Sims — human/ape hybrids that turned out to be too vicious and primitive to use; the Strigoi — a race of vampire-like mutants prone to deformities, sadism and an uncontrollable bloodlust; and the Waldos — cheap, quick-produced limbless human clones which are cybernetically integrated into robotic exoskeletons called "Stalkers". The beastmen of Horst, an alien planet seen in The 86ers, are speculated to have originated as this. Rogue meets a proto-G.I. in one story, who has survived to old age on Nu-Earth and is waiting to die of natural causes. Unlike the G.I.s, he was a normal human who was genetically modified to survive the harsh conditions of Nu-Earth. His unit wasn't given the training that Rogue and his clone brothers were, instead being conscripts who were just dropped into combat to test the genetic modification. | |

Recycled IN SPACE! | |
Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_905438eb | comment |
Recycled In Space: The American Civil War with the Southers as the Confederate and the Norts as the Union. To add to this there is reference to "Nu Georgia" and the "Battle of Mek-bull Run". A large area in the south is named Dix-I. In the game it's more like Cold War turned Hot IN SPACE! With the Norts being Russians and the Southers being NATO. There's elements of World War 2 in it too, with the Norts being very Nazi-esque and the Southers based on the Allies. The acronym for Genetic Infantry is no coincidence. There's even a couple of allusions to World War 1 with the Death World setting being reminiscent of No Man's Land. The story from Prog 2000 has Rogue find a blue flower that is an obvious standin for the Poppy, with Nu Earth blooming with them in the Distant Finale. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate: In the Rogue continuity, Rogue encounters a interesting version of the trope, a super soldier prototype (a predecessor of himself) waiting out in the wilderness to die a death of old age, seeing it as dignified and declaring that "suicide ain't my style". Rogue subsequently holds off a Nort assault force in order to give the old man his wish, the narrative stating openly that it's something he wants for himself one day. Friday attempts suicide, but finds that he's been genetically programmed to be unable to do so. | |

Un-Reboot: When Rogue Trooper was rebooted in 1990, he was replaced with a Suspiciously Similar Substitute named Friday, who survived a similar massacre of his fellow G.I.s. Things got really messy when both continuities were merged, which eventually led to the original Rogue being killed off. After Friday's story was finally concluded and the entire Tor Cyan solo stories that emerged from Spin-Off Mercy Heights were done, Gordon Rennie began penning new stories set during the original Rogue's hunt for the Traitor General. | |

Rogue Trooper (Comic Book) / int_e2e55e86 | comment |
Super Supremacist: Venus Bluegenes invokes this in part 5 of the "From Hell to Eternity" storyline in Prog #339 as justification for why she killed the humans who survived crashlanding on Caliban Island to hoard the rations and preserve her own life: as a Super-Soldier, she is inherently more valuable to the war effort than a bunch of humans, especially seeing that humans can't even survive on Nu-Earth without cumbersome and fragile life-support suits. It's left to the reader to decide if she genuinely believes that, or if it was just a convenient excuse to vent her hatred for humans after a lifetime of prejudice, disrespect and borderline abuse, including an attempted rape. | |
