[Game] Correct character descriptions that miss the point

[SageGenesis]

Let's play a game!

The point is to describe a fictional character accurately, yet in a way that completely misses the point. Others must then guess who it is. Two examples:

Who are...

Q: "An arrogant vagrant gains satisfaction from continually thwarting the efforts of a determined, creative, but gadget-obsessed genius to feed himself."
A: The Road Runner. Meep meep!

Q: "Arrested for trafficking in WMD technology, an heiress turned 'activist' is busted out of prison by her two boyfriends (a career criminal and her own brother), then helps a band of militants blow up a nuclear power plant. Then, after killing the troopers sent to capture her, she flees to a secluded resort-casino, where she innitiates a fascist coup. Finally, after strangling a wealthy businessman to death in an intimate moment (he tried to collect on a debt by boyfriend #1), she personally oversees the bombing of a generator that indirectly knocks her crippled father off his respirator."
A: Princess Leia.


And now for real.

Who are...

A delusional and sometimes violent child believes his toy to be alive, who often manipulates him into disobeying his parents and into dangerous situations.

A wealthy bachelor, orphaned while young, lives a life of idle comfort... until a famous firework maker reveals the truth behind a family heirloom.

Instigated by his stepmother, a man brutally murders his wife and children, then goes to work for a reclusive millionaire as a combination enforcer, big game hunter, and stable boy.

How about I produce some.

1. A wheelchair-bound criminal genius uses his skill in guile and manipulation to get talented, adolescent individuals to terminate his personal enemies and carry out subversion of the elected government.
Who is the wheelchair-bound criminal?

2. A small Virginia town is gripped by terror and madness as a paranoid schizophrenic boy vandalizes public property, sets the house of a prominent citizen on fire and shoots his sister's boyfriend with his parents' handgun.
Who is the boy?

Oddman Wrote:1. Calvin and Hobbes?

3. Hercules?

Correct (I'll accept Hercules, I prefer Herakles ).


Here's some more:

A dapper gentleman just wants the world to smile as much as he does, but a brooding wealthy eccentric always uses violent and illegal means to stop him.

Six bickering engineers who can accomplish so much more when they combine their talents.

A thin manic depressive who initiates an over-ambitious hostile takeover only to realize in the nick of time that he should continue concentrating on his true talents.

Labor leader turned bandit turned pirate, doomed to a Sisiphian fate of ever being again and again killed before he can launch his Dreadnaught against his hated oppressors, but re-appearing alive and once again on the cusp of completing his plans. (It's quite possible nobody will get this.)

Nope. Getting a little warmer though.

Mario and HP were correct.
