Stiny (not pictured) on the job.

Who is L'il Stiny?

Stiny, also known as Li'l Stiny and L'il Stiny, is Strong Badman's temporary hypothetical sidekick. He is merely a ficticious character that Strong Bad muses about in order to insult yet another e-mail writing fan, and ceases to exists after The Cheat gets upset about the notion of being replaced as Strong Bad's sidekick (see below). But for argument's sake, Stiny lives with Strong Badman in Strong Badman's Apartment, assisting Strong Badman with his various evil schemes. Stiny is frequently yelled at by his boss to get him a danish or asked who spilled coffee all over Strong Badman's plans for his death ray. Stiny presumably debuts in the first issue of The Total Adventures of Strong Badman.

Stiny first appears as the sender of the Strong Bad Email superhero name. Stiny asks Strong Bad why his name doesn't end in "man", like other superheroes (examples given are Superman and Spiderman). Strong Bad proceeded to comment that Stiny is not in a very good position to be criticizing people's names, as Strong Bad believed that Stiny sounded like some supervillain's little sidekick that he's always ordering around. After mocking him, Strong Bad agreed to changing his name to Strong Badman if Stiny agreed to become his sidekick, changes his name to Li'l Stiny, and wears "a little mask and a little cape". The Cheat (dressed in a little mask and a little cape) complains that Strong Bad is trying to replace him and takes offense at Strong Bad's mocking reference to a little mask and a little cape.

Stiny is never actually seen, only yelled at by Strong Badman.
