== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters on [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]]. He started out as the villain who always tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. Now he's less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief. He answers [[Strong Bad Email|e-mails]] with a passion. He will [[Spelling|make fun]] of your grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but doesn't seem to be worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics. He is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong|the Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|tormenting]] Strong Sad (although he and Strong Sad did seem to [[The Secrets That I Keep|get along]] when they were younger). He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in the [[UMFM Interview - 20 May 2003|UMFM interview]]).  He also claims to not wear underwear in [[New Boots]].  His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing]] emails. He also hates to be asked "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|Hey, Strong Bad, how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]" (However, he didn't mind answering an email about how to give someone the finger with boxing gloves on). He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!!]]''' The blue diamond on his face may also give him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]]. Strong Bad may also have a Homestar-like telekinesis as demonstrated in the Holiday special [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. Strong Bad owns his own country, [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life.

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, but no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unfazed with his delusions of grandeur. He thinks Marzipan likes him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]."  He seems to have a grudge against [[The Birds|birds]], as shown in issues of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He also loves to listen to Peter Frampton, [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing Jumble puzzles and baking. His [[Strong Bad's Technology|love for older technology]] (cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games, laserdiscs) and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "stuck in the 90's".  Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Track]]s, TVs that lost their essence in the 70s, and the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque]]". He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles as he often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and burns his bills with his [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]]. Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. He also hates old people and children, although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at his second secret home where he goes by the name Vance Mudgeman. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Badia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several cardboard props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

== Strength ==

There is highly conflicting evidence towards Strong Bad's supposed strength. For the most part, it was continuously implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" was merely his name and not an accurate description. But in the Strong Bad Emails "[[car]]", "[[old comics]]", and "[[secret identity]]", Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar's lights out and literally toss both him and The King of Town out of his house, thus condradicting this claim. He can also easily pick up and carry the 42-pound [[Lappy 486]] with ease. However, In the email "[[lady fan]]", the idea of Strong Bad being a weakling is supported yet again when he is unable to do a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do four. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", this fact may be purposely ambiguous, or that Strong Bad really is a complete weakling. He has [[Kicking The Cheat|kicked The Cheat]] quite a few times, but it is unknown exactly how much The Cheat weighs or how far Strong Bad kicked him, so it is debatable whether this factors into his strength or not.
