This article is a list of fictional characters in the Flash web cartoon series Homestar Runner and episodic video game Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.
Homestar Runner is the namesake character of the series, and "is a terrific athlete" that "everybody loves". He serves as the star athlete of an unspecified sports team led by Coach Z, and has partaken in rather rigorous exercise routines. Homestar, however, has suffered from psychological issues that Strong Bad had described as an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]", often forgetting things or interacting with himself as if he were a different person. Homestar is not stupid, as he has shown intelligence at rather irrelevant times, such as correctly stating Coulomb's law in response to being asked what 2+2 equals. His best friend is Pom Pom, although Homestar has also had an on and off relationship with lone female character Marzipan. Homestar speaks with a moderately severe rhotacism, and also sounds as though he experiences chronic nasal congestion.
Strong Bad is the second eldest of the three Strong brothers, the others being Strong Sad and Strong Mad. He typically wears nothing but a red lucha libre mask, black pants and his boxing gloves, which he can type with. Strong Bad is almost always accompanied with his pet/sidekick, The Cheat, who often accompanies him when he pranks other characters in the series. He often insults his younger brother, Strong Sad, and answers emails sent to him by his fans.
Strong Mad is an enormous, hyper-muscular, semi-verbal, usually-angry character (much like the Hulk). He is the eldest brother of the brothers Strong; his siblings are Strong Bad and Strong Sad. He often hangs out with The Cheat and helps Strong Bad commit mischief, harass (and occasionally beat up) the other characters. He is also the bassist to Marzipan's music group Cool Tapes. However, he appears to at least try to be friendly to other characters when not told to harm them by Strong Bad. He has also proved to possess a sort of childhood innocence, which he has demonstrated by making macaroni pictures and, once, asking if he could keep Bubs' Concession Stand, claiming it followed him home. His body is a rectangle with different dimensions given in different cartoons, with perfectly square shoulders and no distinct head or neck. He has two dots for eyes, giant, bushy eyebrows that are usually angry. His mouth is always partially open revealing 3 teeth. He wears a purple wrestlers singlet with a white circle in the front containing a large red M and has red shoes. He generally speaks in short, simple sentences, often in an unrestrained roar. His best friend is The Cheat, whom he protects with fervor. He also has a horrible painting in his closet that gives everyone The Jibblies, called the Rocoulm.
