Revision as of 16:31, 22 November 2005
Several of the characters have minor alternate versions of them.
Contents |
Puppets
Puppet versions of the two-dimensional characters.
| Image | Description | Debut |
|---|---|---|
 | A Homestar Runner puppet. His eyes are velcro, so they can be moved around if necessary. | Everybody Knows It |
 | A The Cheat Puppet. Really just a Kick The Cheat doll. | Everybody Knows It |
 | A slightly disproportional Strong Bad puppet. | Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005 |
 | A Doreauxgard puppet. Much like the cartoon version, he is merely a cantaloupe jammed onto a pencil with a silly face drawn on him. | lackey |
 | A Frank Bennedetto puppet. Really just a popcorn machine. | Labor Dabor |
 | A Marshie puppet, featured at a They Might Be Giants concert. | TMBG Concert - 25 Sep 2004 |
Powered by The Cheat
The Cheat has created crude caricatures of his friends for his cartoons.
| Image | Description | Appearances |
|---|---|---|
 | A poorly drawn Strong Bad. | Everybody to the Limit, Grumblecakes (video) (briefly) |
 | An even worse looking Strong Bad. | crazy cartoon, mile, animal |
 | Another poorly drawn Strong Bad, with purple boxing gloves, his underwear showing, (even though he doesn't wear underwear) and the head of his figurine. | New Boots |
 | Yet another poorly drawn Strong Bad. | The Cheat Theme Song, Main Page 15 |
 | Another poorly drawn Strong Bad, with rather long arms and legs. | Grumblecakes (video) |
 | This poorly drawn Strong Bad has the head of Puppet Strong Bad. | Grumblecakes (video) |
 | This poorly drawn Strong Bad has the best looking eyes, but the arms and legs are kind of long and his body doesn't seem to be round. | Grumblecakes (video) |
 | The Cheat's self-portrait. | The Cheat Theme Song, Everybody to the Limit, crazy cartoon, mile |
 | Another poorly-drawn version of The Cheat, complete with cool boots. | New Boots, Hip Hop Dance |
 | A slightly more cartoony and inaccurate version of The Cheat, with a combover. At one point he puts on monster truck tires. | bedtime story |
 | A poorly-drawn version of Coach Z. The Cheat seems to like purple. | crazy cartoon, mile, New Boots, Hip Hop Dance |
 | A slightly better looking version of Coach Z. | Hip Hop Dance |
 | A poorly-drawn version of Homestar Runner. | The Cheat Theme Song, animal, mile, New Boots |
 | Another, slightly better version of Homestar Runner. | Main Page 15 |
 | A poorly drawn version of Marzipan. | mile |
 | Another poorly drawn Marzipan. | marzipan |
 | Yet another poorly drawn Marzipan. | Seasonal Sweaters |
 | A poorly drawn Strong Sad. | Main Page 15 |
 | A much cartoonier Strong Sad design, which The Cheat claims that he made "as dumpy-accurate as possible" (or rather, Strong Sad says that The Cheat said that). | Experimental Film |
 | A poorly drawn Bubs. | mile, Main Page 22 |
 | A poorly drawn Poopsmith. | mile |
Virus
The Virus has distorted many characters.
| Image | Description | Appearances |
|---|---|---|
 | This is a virus'd Homestar Runner. He has the body of The Homestar Runner and the head of the original. His head changes to the old version on The Virus Main Page | virus, Main Page 22 |
 | This is a virus'd Strong Bad with an expanded boxing glove, Marzipan's hair, and a giant head. He spouts lines from The Luau, and a duck from Duck Guardian explodes in his mouth. | Main Page 22 |
 | Another virus'd Strong Bad with a very disproportional head and one very long leg. He spouts lines from The Reddest Radish. | virus |
 | A virus'd The Cheat. He flashes between his Awexome Cross version, the Reddest Radish version, a drawn version from Strong Bad's website, a neon-sign style one, drawn in Powered by The Cheat style, a Cheat X-ing sign, and a very pixelated version of him. | virus |
 | Virus'd Bubs, complete with 3D legs, a missing midsection, a broken JPEG from Mozilla Firefox for a mouth, an overly-large arm from Dancin' Bubs, and Homestar's leg instead of a shotgun. It's also interesting to note that the name of the broken JPEG is 'TH', the same letters Bubs wears on his chest when disguised as the Thnikkaman. | virus |
 | Virus'd Marzipan is an ASCII rendering of herself that makes distorted noises. | virus |
 | Virus'd Strong Mad is his picture and information from the Yearbook Character Page. It wobbles away with Homsar's walking sound. | Yearbook Character Page, virus |
 | Virus'd Strong Sad has his emoticons from Strong Sad's Lament for a head. His body walks on the spot. He eventually turns into his character card. | Strong Sad's Lament, Character Cards, virus |
 | Virus'd The Ugly One has a stretched mouth. Her arm also stretches very far when she slaps the King of Town nine times (quoting mostly from crazy cartoon). | virus |

Other
| Image | Description | Appearances |
|---|---|---|
 | Afro Coach Z as he looked when Strong Bad was a youngster. | stand-up, record book |
 | Mustachioed Homestar Runner appeared alongside Homestar Runner throwing confetti to promote Bubs' "Bubsotathon" on Senorial Day. He was obscured by the edge of the screen, and you could only see his mustache by viewing the Flash file. It is not currently known whether he is a true separate character or simply a strange occurence of the Homestar Runner world. The email lady...ing points towards the latter, as it seems it is the real Homestar with a fake mustache. | Senorial Day (Easter egg behind the black), lady...ing (Easter egg) |
 | This Cardboard Marzipan is a cutout of Marzipan that Homestar Runner made (and voiced) when Marzipan was away for the summer. She resembles her mile counterpart. Apparently, she thinks Coach Z is disgusting and thinks Bubs is a 'hunk of man'. | Happy Fireworks |
 | ABA Basketball Pom Pom is what Strong Bad would make him if he could change his town. He would have him resemble an ABA Basketball. He looks very similar to one of the Poms from the Isle of Pom. | different town |
 | Modestly Hot Homsar is another imagined character of Strong Bad. See main article: Modestly Hot Homsar | different town |
 | Snowpom is a snowman made in Pom Pom's likeness. | A Holiday Greeting, The Best Decemberween Ever |
 | Buckethand Strong Bad with a bucket and megaphone for hands. | new hands, Store |
 | Coach Zed is a name Strong Bad makes up for the Canadian pronunciation of Coach Z. Strong Bad then thinks that he would prefer calling Coach Z that name after saying it. He believes that after calling Coach Z Coach Zed, he wouldn't suck so bad. The "Z" emblem on Coach Z's body has been replaced with a "D". He is clearly drawn in the style of Charles Schulz, cartoonist of the famous "Peanuts" comic strip. He wears facial hair, a collar and a rumpled fedora, just like Spike, one of Snoopy's brothers. He kind of resembles "Coach Backwards N" from the DVD Sketchbook. | do over |
 | Tofu Homestar is a tofu sculpture with Homestar's face and star drawn on it, designed to make Marzipan think he's still there when he in fact is not. His head frequently slides off and falls onto the ground. Tofu Homestar appears again in Halloween Potion-ma-jig. (See main article: Tofu Homestar) | The Luau, Luau Main Page, Halloween Potion-ma-jig |
 | Cyclops Homestar is one of Homestar's possible transformations in Halloween Potion-ma-jig. As implied by the name, he only has one eye. His eye is very similar to the fake one he wore in Malloween Commercial. | Halloween Potion-ma-jig |
 | Freaky/Strange Marzipan is another one of Homestar's possible transformations in Halloween Potion-ma-jig. | Halloween Potion-ma-jig |
 | French Homestar is another one of Homestar's possible transformations in Halloween Potion-ma-jig. He talks with a heavy French accent and acts very refined. He has black Donald Trump style comb-over or toupee. | Halloween Potion-ma-jig |
