The Fighting Narcissist is arrogance and pride incarnate. He is the most beautiful, the most perfect, your superior in every way. And should you doubt this fact, he will make you pay for your folly, severely. The Fighting Narcissist is a common character type in action series, especially common in martial arts media. He is a formidable fighter who happens to be handsome, extremely so, and takes pride in that fact to the point of capital sin. To him (and it's almost always him, not her) there is no one more beautiful or talented than himself, and to him both concepts are synonymous. He doesn't just happen to be both beautiful and talented, he's beautiful because he's talented, and vice versa. He is selfish, vain, and confident of himself and condescending to anyone and everyone else. Physically, he tends to be slim, tall, and fair, but with defined musculature. He will have Caucasian features, even if he's not actually Caucasian. He will be refined in speech and manners, with a tinge of condescension in his speech. He is usually quite seductive, perhaps even refined and charming, but he is nowhere near as pleasing as he might seem at first glance. Beauty is an obsession to him, and often he describes his actions in these terms ("My fighting style is the most beautiful", or "Seeing blood run is a thing of beauty", for example). This is manifested in exotic weapons, fashionable clothing, body modification, even the use of makeup or masks. You can tell a character is a Fighting Narcissist at first glance: his appearance is genuinely striking. He also tends to be quite wealthy, and a member of the upper crust of society. This attitude does not lend itself to altruism: Fighting Narcissists are almost universally bad. They have no friends, few allies, and innumerable enemies. They see no one as their equal, and any alliance will be one of convenience. They might sometimes be a villain's Dragon, but have no loyalty to their master beyond convenience, and might even try to take the top seat themselves. As much arrogance as he might display, he is a talented fighter, dangerously so. Fighting styles lean towards the acrobatic and eccentric (they are mostly very fast). Another particular characteristic, curiously, is Combat Pragmatism. While all opponents are beneath him, no method of achieving victory is. He will use hidden weapons, underlings, and all other sorts of nasty surprises. Victory is all that matters to him, and he sees using underhanded tactics as him being smarter and more cunning. Honor means nothing to him, since honor is, to a certain point, an altruistic attitude, and he always looks out for number one. Another particular characteristic of a Fighting Narcissist is his attitude towards sexuality. By his definition, any other person is inferior to him, so he is often not actively sexually interested in anyone else. While often effeminate, he is rarely actively interested in men, although he might become obsessed with another fighter who's actually beautiful and talented as well. On the other side of the spectrum, his attitude towards women is almost universally, irredeemably bad. A Fighting Narcissist tends to abuse women and finds much amusement in it. If he actually considers a woman attractive, it is to the point of obsession, and this relationship can lead to massive amounts of Belligerent Sexual Tension. Conversely, if the Fighting Narcissist is effectively gay, he'll almost universally be an Effeminate Misogynistic Guy. The bottom line is that a Fighting Narcissist generally does not deign anyone to be worthy of his desire, and any desire he might have for someone is ALWAYS unhealthy. If a hero actually proves himself superior in anything, the Fighting Narcissist does not take it well. His high opinion of himself does not allow him to take defeat in any way lightly, and any humiliation he is subjected to instills irrational hatred in him. Oh, and scarring him in ANY way, especially in the face, will enrage him to the point of murderous insanity. If he doesn't get killed (or kill himself), expect him to act the part of Beauty to Beast, wear a mask, and Black Cloak, and break every mirror he sees. While he can be ambitious and seek power, the main reason a Fighting Narcissist actually fights is self-gratification. He does not fight to prove himself, because he has nothing to prove: in his mind, he's already perfect. He does not seek a challenge, because such petty behavior is beneath him. More often than not, he fights out of boredom and bloodlust: he enjoys fighting and enjoys causing pain, period. Although rarely needing to work, he will often be a gangster, contract killer, or bodyguard; basically, professions that expose him to violence. He might also be a Serial Killer who uses fighting as an excuse to commit murder. The character can also be used in a less extreme (i.e. non-murderous but still violent) fashion in lighter media: pro wrestling, for example, has myriad examples of arrogant and vain fighters. Also, very rarely, a Fighting Narcissist might actually be convinced to leave the dark side, but this is exceedingly rare, and many times it ends in his ultimate demise. Related to Beauty Is Bad and Agent Peacock. Contrast Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy, who, while also condescending of others and a powerful fighter, is not obsessed with his looks nor inherently evil, and Gorgeous George, whose obsessions lead to ambiguity more than arrogance and is friendly with the females to heighten the ambiguity. Spiritual brother to the Smug Super and the Combat Aestheticist. Often a successful blow to the face will be a Berserk Button. The Fighting Narcissist also parallels the Combat Sadomasochist in terms of the Seven Deadly Sins: where the Narcissist has Vanity/Pride as a staple, the Sadomasochist is into Lust. In Manga, this type of character is referred to as the narusisuto, a long-haired, effeminate self-admirer. |

Rush slowly fell into narcissism after his 2010 victory in the advanced class of CMLL's bodybuilding competition, which culminated in the fans turning on the self-proclaimed tecnico after he challenged and defeated light heavyweight champion Ephesto, holding the belt of a weight class he was technically above. | |

"Mid-Boss" Vyers from Disgaea gives off this vibe—he calls himself the Dark Adonis, sprinkles his speech with Gratuitous French, indulges in rose motifs, and thinks quite highly of his elegance and strength—although it's more of a facade. | |

Bleach: Yumichika Ayasegawa, one of the very rare heroic examples because he may be a subversion. He certainly insists on presenting himself as such a person, but the reality is more complicated: his fight with Charlotte Cuuhlhourne reveals he's actually sacrificing his real self for the sake of his squad's philosophy due to his belief that Undying Loyalty is much more important than his own desires. Charlotte is used to lampshade this by genuinely being what Yumichika is pretending to be... but looks-wise, he's a mix of The Brute and Magical Girl. When they fight, Hilarity Ensues, followed by Mood Whiplash to reveal the truth about Yumichika. In the Invasion arc, the anime decides to play this trope straight for Yumichika by changing his Hidden Depths to something that's even more narcissistic than his public image. The first time Yumichika meets his clone, he's struck by the terrible dilemma of not being able to fight — because he can't bring himself to attack "such a beautiful me". On the other hand, his clone has no such qualms about the fight because he thinks the real Yumichika would look even more beautiful covered in blood... which is taking narcissism to the point of both sadism and masochism. | |

In the Travis McGee novel The Green Ripper, Travis mentions one of his opponents always seems to be a bit too much "posing for the non-existent camera". It's just about this guy's only flaw, as he is a really good combat fighter. | |

Fire Emblem: Duke Oliver of Tanas from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn believes himself to be the most beautiful man ever despite being an overweight Gonk in reality, to the point of seeing himself as an enemy to all ugly people because of his belief that they sinfully look upon him with envy. However, he will fight on the behalf of anyone else who meets his high standards, simply because he believes that anything beautiful is worth protecting; this is actually how you can recruit him to your side in Radiant Dawn. A wholly heroic example is Subaki from Fire Emblem Fates, who mixes it with The Perfectionist and a bit of Stepford Smiler. He even openly admits it when asked: Narcian from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, complete with Meaningful Name. Another true heroic example is Virion from Fire Emblem: Awakening. However, he might be a partial subversion — it sounds like everything he says is bragging, but any boasts he makes on objective topics, like tactical skill or running errands, are actually just him stating facts. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: The legendary Major Armstrong has shades of this trope in both his combat skill and utter infatuation with himself and his beautiful muscles. Definitely a good guy though. There's also the homunculus Greed, who rarely uses his very powerful full-body armored form because it makes his face ugly. Kimblee's a bit paranoid about getting blood on his suit, not that it ever stops him. He also seems to care quite a bit for his hat, too. |

Sunstreaker, from Transformers G1, is a cross between this and combat addict. He's a ferocious fighter whether or not you're on his side (pretty much the only person he actively seems to like is his twin Sideswipe, and even then they bicker), and Primus help you if you scratch his paint. Oddly enough, he's one of the good guys. | |

Dragon Ball: Zarbon, Frieza's right-hand-man. He takes a handicap in most fights to preserve his good looks; he has the ability to transform into a much stronger but much uglier form, but only does so when it's a choice between doing so or being killed. After achieving his Perfect form, Cell breaks the fourth wall to stroke his ego: Even Vegeta has some elements of this, at least very early on; he was not pleased when a supposedly lower-class warrior like Goku was able to draw blood from him. Really, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that most of the villains in Dragon Ball Z display this trope at one time or another. Goku Black who is actually an alternate version of Zamasu who succeeded in performing a Grand Theft Me on his Goku from Dragon Ball Super just loves talking about how beautiful his power/fighting style is, and how much more refined he is than basically all other forms of life. It says a lot that literally the only being in all existence he treats as an equal and shows any care for that's not him is Future Zamasu, who is not only also this trope, but an alternate version of himself. All versions of Zamasu, including Black, are pretty much textbook cases of malignant narcissism syndrome to the point it seems their ultimate goal is to create their version of paradise...which more or less involves killing everyone who's not them, including all their fellow gods so they alone can be the supreme god above all else. Heck, the first few words said by Merged Zamasu are declaring himself the most powerful, beautiful, and supreme god and demanding everyone praise and adore him. |

In Heroes and Villains, Buffy is a mild, female version of this, since the story is largely an exploration of what she would be like if her pre-Slayer personality remained in place after she gained her powers. Her vanity, conceit, and condescension towards everyone less beautiful and/or powerful than herself are all on full display as she begins her quest to rule Sunnydale High. | |

Guan Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms increasingly becomes one as the story progresses, to the point that he is contemptuous of pretty much every opponent he faces. This hubris is what eventually brings him down. Subverted by the historical Guan Yu. While he was every bit as arrogant, he was also horrendously incompetent. As an administrator in Jing, he was so loathsome that many of his subordinates betrayed him the moment the Wu army showed up and almost all his military accomplishments are fictional. The one that isn't, defeating Yu Jin & Pang De in Jing was due to flash flooding destroying their position. He then promptly failed to besiege a flooded city that had very few defenders with an army of about 50,000 & was forced to retreat by Xu Huang leading a tiny army mostly consisting of conscripts. |

Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Octophantom was a tough Monster of the Week with one glaring weakness - his vanity. Octophantom could easily be distracted by the sight of his own reflection, which the Rangers were able to take advantage of by making a mirror for him to look at while they assembled the Power Blaster to destroy him. Power Rangers Time Force: Lucas is very vain about his looks and is quite the ladies man. In one episode, he actually stops in the middle of chasing the monster of the week to admire himself in the mirror.

This attitude backfires horribly for him in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, when he fights Chun-Li, who severely puts him off his game by just kicking the ever-loving shit out of his face. Things go from bad to worse for him pretty quick following that. Likewise, in Street Fighter, Ryu puts Vega off his game by holding his face-protecting metal mask in a furnace and leaving him with a burn on one cheek. Vega takes a bad landing on his own claw and dies shortly afterwards. |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Octophantom was a tough Monster of the Week with one glaring weakness - his vanity. Octophantom could easily be distracted by the sight of his own reflection, which the Rangers were able to take advantage of by making a mirror for him to look at while they assembled the Power Blaster to destroy him. | |

"The Showoff" Dolph Ziggler also counts. Although his ego is through the roof, he's also a very athletic amateur wrestler from Kent State University, holding the most wins in college, and the most pins in high school. He has a plethora of accolades at the professional level as well, from being a grand slam champion to winning Money in the Bank. Ironically enough, he's one of the few to actually pull off an organic Heel–Face Turn against another of his kin in Alberto Del Rio, and was often viewed as an Ensemble Dark Horse with a never-say-die attitude. | |

Eikichi from Persona 2 is described by the game as a narcissist in his introductory blurb and with good reason. He effectively runs Kusagayama High School as its feared and respected "Death Boss", all while wearing full make-up, nail polish, and a truckload of jewelry. Since he's a skilled Persona-user, he has more than enough power to back up his boasting. | |

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: The Third Espada Catrina is a rare female example, but she ticks all the boxes aside from gender. She's incredibly vain and proud of her beauty to the point part of the reason she has the fastest Sonido of the Espada is not only because she's a Fragile Speedster, but because she'll fly into a rage if she's actually marked in combat, especially on her face. She wields a massive metal war fan and expresses enjoyment of slicing her foes to pieces with particular enjoyment of disfiguring her female opponents and talking of giving them "beautiful" deaths. She also hates her Resurreccion because it makes her more feral and animalistic-looking and will only use it if absolutely necessary to achieve victory. She has an intense hatred and jealousy of the Second Espada Chrysalis in part because she's even more beautiful, more than powerful enough to shut down any attempt to unseat her, and she can restore her damaged looks much faster than Catrina can. | |

A good guy example is Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat. He's an action movie star with a vain streak a mile wide (he only entered the eponymous tournament to show off his considerable fighting skills).

However, he will fight on the behalf of anyone else who meets his high standards, simply because he believes that anything beautiful is worth protecting; this is actually how you can recruit him to your side in Radiant Dawn. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade: Many Toreador vampires in the subscribe to this trope. Yes, they're obssessed with art and beauty. They also have access to Auspex and Celerity. Likewise, the Lasombra are an aristocratic and regal clan... who have trouble with personal grooming, due to that whole "lacking a reflection" thing. They're said to keep ghouls around mainly to make sure their appearance is immaculate and punish anyone who leaves a hair out of place. They've also got access to Potence and Obtenebration, which means those punishments are gonna hurt. On a side note, they tend to fill their homes with portraits of themselves; general clan opinion is that sitting for one portrait per century is acceptable, but more than that is just vanity. The invention of digital photography, which doesn't use mirrors for imaging, means there are centuries-old Lasombra who are bigger selfie fiends than most mortal teenagers. Many Nosferatu resent beauty and take perverse pleasure in destroying it. "Cleopatras" are Nosferatu that were chosen because of their extraordinary beauty. These vampires were usually (but not always) cruel and exceedingly vain in life, making the Embrace something of an Ironic Hell or a Fate Worse than Death for them. As a result, many "Cleopatras" attempt to learn the Obfuscate ability Mask of a Thousand Faces as soon as possible in an attempt to resume their old ways. |

Launch Octopus from Maverick Hunter X, hilariously enough. He joins Sigma simply because he considers himself an 'artist' of underwater combat and gets offended when his fighting style is called 'Maverick'.

Dawn of War In "The Last Stand" mode for Dawn of War II, the Chaos Sorcerer has two different build paradigms: the Doppelganger-generator, and the "Narcissist" build who turns all Doppelganger-buffs into self-buffs. Also worth mentioning is that the TLS Sorcerer uses the same voice actor as Sindrii Myr, who set new standards for The Starscream by successfully offering his Chaos Lord as a sacrifice for his own daemonic ascension. |

Dragalia Lost has a rather tame example in Zardin, who is vain enough to carry a mirror everywhere he goes. While he does become very angry when someone messes up his appearance, he does not try to kill them like most examples of the trope. However, when a monster cuts his face, he loses it and pounds the hapless creature into oblivion. It's revealed that the reason for Zardin's vanity is that he is a Mama's boy, and he looks like his dead mother. | |

The original Narcissist of wrestling might have been "Natural Guy" Buddy Rogers, which, at the time was not so much its own gimmick as it was a subversion of the original Gorgeous George, real name George Wagner. Buddy looked and acted similar but instead of any suggestions toward homosexuality, he incited audiences with his obliviously inflated ego, such as his insistence his bleached head was naturally that way. Buddy would later become the "Nature Boy" then be succeeded by Ric Flair who added on claims of having a ludicrous fortune and lady killing record, further distancing himself from both Gorgeous George and the more recent narcissist gimmick. |

This became The Miz's new Heel angle after he returned to WWE in 2014. The idea is that he thinks he's a much bigger celebrity than he is (due to having starred in some movies produced by WWE) and attributes this celebrity mostly to his handsome, handsome face. He calls it his "moneymaker" and during matches, he's scared to death of any harm coming to it. | |

Velvet from Them's Fightin' Herds is a rare heroic and nonhuman example, being a reindeer who is too prideful to want to get her hands dirty fighting. Thankfully, she is the resident zoning character who lets her ice powers do the talking for her. | |

One Piece: Pearl wears heavy armor to protect his body from scars and goes a little nuts when he sees his own blood. "White Horse" Cavendish too. A Knight in Shining Armor, or perhaps a deconstruction thereof, he is the captain of the Beautiful Pirates (and is really Bishounen himself) and has amassed a huge bounty for being a major threat to the World Government. While he has murderous levels of envy towards bigger upstarts than him and refuses to believe anyone can be prettier than him, he does subvert the trope in that he is actually a good person inside, just incredibly vain and fond of dramatic entrances. Boa Hancock is very proud of being considered to be the World's Most Beautiful Woman and is an incredibly powerful and skilled fighter. Her people equate beauty with strength and Hancock has a decent claim on also being the strongest woman in the world. |

Punch-Out!! series: Super Punch-Out!! had a boxer named Narcis Prince, whose weak spot was his perfect face; a successful punch to his chin would cause him to get pissed off, move faster, hit harder, and make several fatal mistakes in a row, most of which left him open for another sock to the face. In the 2009 Wii game, Super Macho Man embodies this trope. He's a cocky pretty boy bodybuilder from Hollywood, California, who is obsessed with getting attention and lording his wealth, fame, strength, and beauty over others. In the first fight with him, he's very condescending toward Little Mac and leaves himself wide-open posing for photos. In his rematch, he's very angry and frustrated that everything he had that he valued: his media attention, his money supply, even the attention of his former groupies (which Mac didn't even want and had Doc Louis keep them from bothering him) had been taken from him by Mac, and was looking for revenge. Don Flamenco applies in the Wii version. He starts out as an arrogant fighter who goads Little Mac into attacking before making any moves himself. However, after his toupee is knocked off, he flies into a rage that both increases his attack speed and prevents as many openings for combos. |

In Fate/stay night, Gilgamesh is a king of this trope (amongst the many other things he is king of) and hits practically every part of it spot-on. In the Unlimited Blade Works route, he passes over a perfect opportunity to kill all the main characters in one fell swoop because part of the house they were fighting in was on fire, and it was getting soot on his clothing. His earlier appearance in Fate/Zero has his attitude towards Berserker turn from bored indifference to a genuine rage the moment when Berserker steals one of Gilgamesh's rare swords, and he angrily tells him "how dare you lay your filthy hands on my treasures". Later in the story, he even abandons several of his unique one-of-a-kind superweapons from his Hyperspace Arsenal, because they had been used to attack an ugly Eldritch Abomination and had gotten muddy and slimy as a result. | |

Meanwhile, there's Slaanesh's favorite champion in vanilla Warhammer, Prince Sigvald the Magnificent. He wears golden armour and carries a stylish rapier rather than the customary giant spiky axe of Chaos. All his warriors carry mirrored shields so that he can admire himself while fighting, he suffers from the 'stupidity' rule because of his tendency to sit there and preen in the middle of the battlefield...and Sigmar help you if you think that means he can't slice you up at his leisure. | |

The Suikoden series has an entire class of "Narcissist" characters: foppish aristocrats (or in one case, a conman pretending to be) who have great admiration for themselves, but are surprisingly skilled swordsmen. Atypically for this trope, the Narcissists invariably befriend the hero and get along very well with each other. Typically, they're under the mistaken impression that the hero is part of their clique. It should be pointed out that the male narcissists (Milich, Vincent, Reinbach, etc) are gushingly friendly towards the hero and exhibit (a dramatically heightened) sense of chivalry, whereas the females (Esmeralda and Josephine) are much haughtier and openly bitchy and rude on occasion. Suikoden V introduces Josephine, (the series' first female Narcissist available for the active party) a runaway noblewoman turned fashion designer who unsuccessfully tries to get the hero to dress more "appropriately" (i.e. in gaudily foppish clothing). Unlike other Narcissists of the series, she's not a swordsman, instead being something of a Magic Knight who uses an umbrella with a blade in the tip to rather good effect. | |

League of Legends Draven (Not Draven; Draaaaven) is the younger brother of the famed Noxian general Darius; unlike his brother, however, he wanted only to be famous and have his name recognized everywhere, and so he went from being an ordinary executioner to a flamboyant, theatrical showman, turning executions into grand gladiatorial spectacles with him hunting prisoners down and toying with them before dispatching them with a decisive axe-toss. His quotes reflect this; nearly everything he says is some sort of boast. Hell, the icon for his passive ability (which is obviously named League of Draven) is a picture of his face. Which gives a buff. And the icon for the buff IS HIS FACE. While Draven is the best example, this trope could cover many other League champions as well. Taric regularly talks about how beautiful he is and strikes poses as if for a photoshoot for one of his taunts. Most of Aurelion Sol's quotes are about how much better he is than everyone else, though in his case it's justified. |

Doctor Doom (pre-Retcon). When he was first introduced, those characters who managed to see his face (including Doctor Don Blake, the secret identity of the Mighty Thor of that era) recoiled in horror as if it was some horrific sight. Stan Lee himself sometimes joked that in his mind underneath the mask Doom's face was marred only by a small scar on one cheek that the narcissistic Doom viewed as nothing less than utter ruin. Later writers would merge the two ideas by claiming the accident that "ruined" his face left a small scar on one cheek... but he later put his famous metal mask on before it had fully cooled, which left him with full-face burn scars. | |

Even Vegeta has some elements of this, at least very early on; he was not pleased when a supposedly lower-class warrior like Goku was able to draw blood from him. Really, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that most of the villains in Dragon Ball Z display this trope at one time or another. | |

Street Fighter's Vega/Balrog/Claw is the best example of this kind of character. Rich, sexy and evil beyond belief, he leads a double life of a nobleman by day and an assassin by night. In all of his battles he wears his iconic mask just to make sure nothing so much as scratches his perfect face. Not to mention he joined Shadaloo because he just really loves killing people. He has a disturbing fixation on both Chun-Li and Cammy, considering Chun-Li the perfect rival in beauty and technique, and because Cammy was made beautiful by Bison himself. The only reason he returns in IV is because he's looking for the data on how to create spare bodies (AKA Seths) for Bison, which would theoretically allow him to live forever. This attitude backfires horribly for him in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, when he fights Chun-Li, who severely puts him off his game by just kicking the ever-loving shit out of his face. Things go from bad to worse for him pretty quick following that. Likewise, in Street Fighter, Ryu puts Vega off his game by holding his face-protecting metal mask in a furnace and leaving him with a burn on one cheek. Vega takes a bad landing on his own claw and dies shortly afterwards. |

Mega Man: Bass from the classic series. He's jealous of Mega Man's position as world champion and wants to kill him for that. And he's also extremely vain. And by lord, he is hot]]. Launch Octopus from Maverick Hunter X, hilariously enough. He joins Sigma simply because he considers himself an 'artist' of underwater combat and gets offended when his fighting style is called 'Maverick'. While he's not conventionally pretty by human standards, he speaks in a refined and snotty form of speech and says that 'even my explosion is beautiful' when he dies. Elec Man has a very similar personality in Mega Man Powered Up, another Mega Man remake for the PSP. From Mega Man Zero 4 we have Pegasolta Eclair. When you fight him he introduces himself as "Dr. Weil has a plan as beautiful as myself," and his death quote is "Wah! How could this happen to me!? But...my death, it's so beautiful!" |

Hiromi Kisaragi of Eyeshield 21 is a cornerback who believes that only strength is beautiful; this factors into his exceptionally brutal play style. He's still far more sympathetic than most the examples of this trope, not least because his narcissism is rooted in his own self-loathing and past as a bully magnet; he's now out to prove to everyone that he's not a pushover anymore. And oh yeah, that he's pretty. He's more of a wannabe-Fighting Narcissist than a full-on example. | |

Transformers: Sunstreaker, from Transformers G1, is a cross between this and combat addict. He's a ferocious fighter whether or not you're on his side (pretty much the only person he actively seems to like is his twin Sideswipe, and even then they bicker), and Primus help you if you scratch his paint. Oddly enough, he's one of the good guys. Sky Lynx for the same series is, if anything, even worse. He's not precisely as hung up on his looks, but he considers himself to be the pinicle of perfection of everything- talent, intelligence, fighting skill, etc. He's also one of the good guys. Springer nicknamed him "Commander Modesty." Tracks, also from the same series, is Sunstreaker with the narcissism ramped up and the aggression ramped down. This means that unlike Sunstreaker he tends to do badly in fights because he's too caught up in worrying about his looks and doesn't work well with other Autobots. He's actually a fairly competent fighter, as shown when he helps take down the Stunticons in the episode Masquerade or in his own spotlight episodes. Knock Out from Transformers: Prime is a vain, sadistic pretty-boy of a Decepticon who once managed to get the drop on Optimus Prime. Like Sunstreaker, he's very sensitive about his paint job. |
