Strong Bad Evolution

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Strong Bad has changed a lot. He's "grown" a blue diamond and a silver V on his forehead and eventually lost his mexican accent. His personality has changed significantly.

	This is the first Strong Bad design.	1996	Original Book, flashback, Main Page 20	N/A
	The second design	1999	Marshmallow's Last Stand, Old Characters Page, Character Cards, personal favorites, The Reddest Radish, lady...ing	His mouth is now flesh colored, his eyes are green and detailed, the silver crest and diamond are now on his head, and he seems to have grown. Also, his eyes seem to be inside his mask, not outside. He also has purple pants, brighter colours, shading and a belly button.
	The third design	2000	A Jumping Jack Contest, Strong Libs, Yearbook Character Page (in photo)	His design is neater, his red has gotten darker, he now wears red boots and black pants. His boxing gloves are bigger. There's more shading, and the outline has become thinner. His eyes are now back outside his head. His belly button has now disappeared.
	The fourth design	2000	Strong Bad Sings, A Jorb Well Done, The Luau, Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True, all Strong Bad Emails from some kinda robot to halloweener, Main Page 6, Main Page 7, Main Page 8, Main Page 11, Yearbook Character Page, Theme Song Video, A Mother's Day Message, Homestarloween Party, The House That Gave Sucky Treats, A Holiday Greeting	The outline is coloured and has gotten thinner. Around this point Strong Bad loses the "I'm the bad guy" role to more of this mean funny cool guy. His voice is still somewhat hispanic, but to a lesser extent; the current Strong Bad voice is becoming more noticable.
	The fifth design, which is also not much different from the current.	2001	Some Stupid Turkey, The Best Decemberween Ever, all Strong Bad Emails from brianrietta to extra plug, The Cheat Theme Song, Where's The Cheat?, First Time Here?, Everybody to the Limit, Homestar Talker, Pumpkin Carve-nival, A Decemberween Pageant, Decemberween Email Menu, The System is Down, Superbowl Dealie, Arcade Game, Lookin at a Thing in a Bag, Malloween Commercial, 3 Times Halloween Funjob, Not the 100th Email!!!, Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon, New Boots, Cheat Commandos, Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, Experimental Film, Halloween Fairstival, Revenge of the King	He now has a reflection to his eye and much better shading. The black in his mask turned to a lighter shade of gray. By now, the hispanic accent has, more or less, gone away and evolved into a much more relaxed voice that goes up and down in tone, unlike the previous ones which seemed to be a forced low-as-possible tone. His pants have a purplish shine and he has shrunk a little in proportion. His legs are now closer together.
	This is the current design of Strong Bad.	2004	All Strong Bad Emails from montage to current, Homestar Presents: Presents, HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!, The Lil' Brudder Show, Bug In Mouth Disease, Senorial Day, Happy Fireworks, Cool Things, TrogdorCon '97, Sick Day, Halloween Potion-ma-jig.	His head is bigger and his arms are higher up and shorter. His shoes are darker, a different shape and have different shading. The black on his face is slightly darker, and takes up more space. His pants seem to have lost some of their purple shading. The diamond is also more symmetrical. The shading on Strong Bad's boots seem to drift from this version's style to the previous version and vice versa.
