Strong Bad Evolution

Like [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]] has had his share of changes. He's "grown" a blue diamond and a silver V on his forehead and eventually lost his Mexican accent. His personality has changed significantly.

! Image !! Info !! Created !! Appearances !! What's Changed?

| [[Image:tinyhandedstrongbad.png|150px]]|| This is the first Strong Bad design (AKA "[[Tiny-Handed Strong Bad]]"). || 1996 || [[Original Book]]; [[Super NES]]; ''[[Strumstar Hammer]]''; ''[[flashback]]''; ''[[Main Page 20]]''; ''[[alternate universe]]''; ''[[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]]'' || N/A

| [[Image:sb_evolution_mls.png|150px]] || The second design || 1999 || [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]; [[Old Characters Page]]; ''[[personal favorites]]''; ''[[lady...ing]]'' || His mouth is now flesh colored, his eyes are green and detailed, the silver crest and blue diamond are now on his head, and he seems to have grown. His eyes seem to be inside his mask, not outside. He has blue pants, brighter colors, shading, and a belly button. He seems to be less lopsided. He now has some simple shading.

| [[Image:sbcharcards.png|150px]] || The third design || 2000 || [[Character Cards]]; [[The Reddest Radish]] || His eyes are now back outside his head, his pants are a brighter blue, and he's shaded more brightly. He's lost his belly button and wears red shoes.

| [[Image:sb_evolution_jumpingjack.png|150px]] || The fourth design || 2000 || [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]; [[Strong Libs]]; [[Yearbook Character Page]] (in picture), [[Email Processing Room]] (Silhouette); ''[[Hremail 7]]'' || His design is neater, his red has gotten darker, and he now wears black pants. His boxing gloves are bigger, his legs are closer together, there's more shading, and the outline has become thinner. His arms are wider and shorter. His eyes are rounder.

| [[Image:Yearbook_sb.png|150px]] || The fifth design || 2000 || [[Strong Bad Sings]]; [[Yearbook Character Page]]; [[Theme Song Video]]; [[Homestarloween Party]]; [[A Holiday Greeting]]; [[A Jorb Well Done]]; [[The Luau]]; [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]]; all [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[some kinda robot]] to [[halloweener]]; Main Pages [[Main Page 6|6]], [[Main Page 7|7]], [[Main Page 8|8]] and [[Main Page 11|11]]; [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]; [[Some Stupid Turkey]]; ''[[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]]'' || The outline is colored and has gotten thinner, and his colors are brighter. The division between his boots and pants is now slanted. Around this point Strong Bad loses the "I'm the bad guy" role to more of a mean funny cool guy. His voice is still somewhat Hispanic, but to a lesser extent; the current Strong Bad voice is becoming more noticeable. His mouth has a very thin outline in this version.  

| [[Image:sb_evolution_current.png|150px]] || The sixth design. || 2001 || [[A Mother's Day Message]]; [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]; all [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[brianrietta]] to [[extra plug]] (except [[anything]]); [[garage sale]]; [[The Cheat Theme Song]]; [[Where's The Cheat?]]; [[First Time Here?]]; [[Everybody to the Limit]]; [[Main Page 15]]; [[Homestar Talker]]; [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]; [[A Decemberween Pageant]]; [[Decemberween Email Menu]]; [[The System is Down]]; [[Superbowl Dealie]]; [[Arcade Game]]; [[Revenge of the King]]; [[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 (toon)|Cheat Commandos]]; [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]; [[Experimental Film]]; [[Halloween Fairstival]]   || He now has a reflection to his eye and much better shading. Around his chest, there is some reflection. The black in his mask turned to a lighter shade of gray. His mouth is shaded and his gloves now have the window reflection. 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.  

| [[Image:MontageStrongBad.png|150px]] || The seventh design. || 2004 || All [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[montage]] to [[candy product]]; [[redesign]] ; Main Pages [[Main Page 22|22]] and [[Main Page 23|23]]; [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]; [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]]; [[The Li'l Brudder Show]]; [[Bug In Mouth Disease]]; [[Store Thank You Messages]]; [[Senorial Day]]; [[Happy Fireworks]]; [[Cool Things]]; [[TrogdorCon '97]]; [[Sick Day]]; [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]]; [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]; [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]; [[Fall Float Parade]]; [[Happy Trogday]]; [[Career Day]] || 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 and V-shape are also more symmetrical to each other, though some toons and even a few emails retain the previous version's V-shape. Likewise, the shading on Strong Bad's boots seems to drift from this version's style to the previous version and back. Where his boots meet his pants, they lose the angle that was in the previous design. In the sbemails, when his head bobs up and down, it tilts less.

| [[Image:currentbad.png|150px]] || This is the current design. || 2006 || Various toons from [[Sbemail 150?!?]] to current; all [[Strong Bad Email]]s starting with [[alternate universe]]; [[Main Page 24]]   || His eyes are closer together, making his face appear less flat. The eyes and V-shape are slightly different shapes. The black in his mask is darker and bigger, slightly extending past what we can see of his head. There is less shading on the diamond. The purple shading on his pants is back, although the one on his left leg is on the opposite side. The light shading on one half of the black in his mask is slightly darker.
