Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A character from The DCU, created by comic book writer/artist Keith Giffen, Ambush Bug is the Cloudcuckoolander secret identity of Irwin Schwab, a man raised solely on TV who one day discovered a green teleportation suit that was sent within a capsule from a doomed planet (or so he claims.) He has starred in several critically acclaimed mini-series, though he is pretty much on the fringe of the comic universe he inhabits.Ambush Bug first appeared in DC Comics Presents #52 (December, 1982). Originally he appeared as a minor foe of Superman, before deciding to become a superhero himself, though Ambush Bug proves himself utterly incompetent at the job. As time went on, his appearances became increasingly in-jokey, Fourth Wall breaking, satirical and surreal. As a generally Fun Personified character, he wasn't seen much during the pits of The Dark Age of Comic Books, and though he is rarely used by other writers, he still exists in the DC Universe. He became a supporting character in Keith Giffen's Doom Patrol.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })In the New 52, he's a roving reporter for Channel 52 News, a method of combining information about what's happening in the DCU with a comedy backup strip.His final appearance, unless Keith Giffen is asked to write for him again, is in the Convergence tie-in based on Supergirl: Matrix.The closest Marvel Comics equivalent would likely be Deadpoolnote Mixed with Lobo, with a dash of Squirrel Girl thrown in, though Ambush appeared before either of them. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Ambush Bug (Comic Book) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Apparently one of Ambush Bug's super powers. He can also actually see the speech bubbles that come out of characters' mouths, and once asked Zatanna why the text in hers is backward. Or maybe he's just crazy. It's suggested in a one-shot that while he can read speech bubbles (and presumably thought bubbles), he can't hear what other characters on the page are saying — the speech bubbles are his only means of communication. When Mayfair Games published a scenario for their DC tabletop RPG that featured Ambush Bug (Don't Ask!), he was likewise perfectly aware that he was in a roleplaying game. Even more so, he supposedly comes OUT of the game to interact directly with the players instead of their characters - the back cover was a mask to cut out and assemble to put on for that particular scene. In DC Universe Online, Ambush Bug can be found in the Watchtower (for heroes) or the Hall of Doom (for villains). His first line is "Hey, look who's in your video game!" Ambush Bug stars in the Grand Finale of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, where he helps Batman try to save the show from Bat-Mite's attempts to make it Jump the Shark and get cancelled. For extra credit, Bug is voiced by Henry Winkler, the original shark-jumper. | |

| Ambush Bug (Comic Book) / int_38c493f1 | comment |
End-of-Series Awareness: Ambush Bug throws an after-party at the end of his first miniseries. He also convinces Batman to ensure his Silver Age exploits end up with as much dignity as possible, even if they failed to save the show. He convinced the villain in the Doom Patrol series to drop his plan, 'cause the book was being cancelled and there was no hope for him to see how it ended. | |

Un Installment: Ambush Bug: Year None has an issue number 7, but no number 6. The joke being that there was a huge delay with the release of the next issue after issue 5... so it was numbered 7 to mock the delay ("Issue 6 is never coming out!") | |

Super Hero Origin | |
| Ambush Bug (Comic Book) / int_3f2dfd16 | comment |
Super Hero Origin: Parodies Superman's. The greatest dandy in an alien world, Brum-El, decides to discard a chain letter, and as a result, discovers his planet is going to be hit by a swarm of meteorites which will kill all life. Against the belief of all experts, he creates a rocket... to save his wardrobe. And then it turns out the meteorites really were harmless, leaving the man naked and humiliated. And then a giant radioactive space spider loots the rocket before accidentally nudging it to Earth, where it crashes, leaving one of the rocket's two remaining contents - a lime green suit - stuck in the antenna of a random Metropolis loser. The other item? A sentient sock. Who immediately becomes a Doctor Doom parody, angry at being left behind. Superman once heard the story. He thought the idea of a scientist building a rocketship to save something from a doomed planet the dumbest story he'd heard. | |

Fun Personified: He first appeared as a fairly standard supervillain, but within just a couple appearances had jumped into outright comedy, making fun of the fan obsessions of the day. So much Darkseid is willing to go karaoking with 'im. | |

Again, when his planet failed to be destroyed, he was just mocked and left naked. | |

He settles for a mini-fridge with a pygmy corpse inside. In fact, through the entire issue, there are dozens of female corpses all over the place. Some even get lobbed at Bug. | |

Wacky Sound Effect: Meta. The letterer had to work overnight and didn't want to wake her baby, so the bomb does not go kaboom, but a soft tinnnng. | |

Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: Ambush Bug answered his own letters, and in his first issue was puzzled that he had to wait months for feedback from the reader who had just finished the book. | |

Rage Against the Author | |
| Ambush Bug (Comic Book) / int_f2a6d76d | comment |
Rage Against the Author: Giffen/Bug isn't above lampshading DC Comics' faults (or his own). Or those of Marvel Comics. Dan DiDio is one of his mortal archenemies. When fighting against Bug, he's an idiot intent on destroying the damn green pest. Before that, there was editor Julius Schwartz. | |
