  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic trope: The character announces themselves to their opponents so they know who is about to pound them.

  • Straight: Bob introduces himself and kicks the villain's ass.
  • Exaggerated: "My name is Robert Winston Arthur Willam Strawman-Williamson, PHD. I was born on 10th of January, 31337 to George Patrick Strawman and Alice Elizabeth Axebanger-Williamson. I graduated from..."
  • Justified: Bob has been using a secret identity until the moment.
  • Inverted: Bob kicks the villain's ass and reveals his name in a Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
  • Subverted: Bob introduces himself, but then the villain reveals that his death will trigger the Doomsday Device.
    • Alternatively: Bob uses a false name.
  • Double Subverted: The Doomsday Device is disarmed and Bob proceeds to kick the villain's ass.
    • The villain guesses that the name was false, and Bob admits his true name to the villain in an equally triumphant manner.
  • Parodied: Bob opens his autobiography and starts reading it to the villain. The villain listens patiently.
  • Deconstructed: The villain shoots Bob before he gets to pronounce his name.
  • Reconstructed: Bob shouts his name during a Dynamic Entry, and gets the drop on the villain despite taking the time to announce himself.
    • Alternately: Bob shouts his name while he's kicking the villain's ass
  • Zig Zagged: Bob only introduces himself to some of the villains, but not the others.
  • Averted: Bob doesn't bother to introduce himself.
    • Or the villain knows Bob's name already.
  • Enforced: "You know, we need something really awesome to start the final battle. How about we have the main character tell the villain who he is?"
  • Lampshaded: "As if hadn't known your name..."
  • Invoked: The villain asks Bob who he is.
  • Defied: "You don't have to introduce yourself, Bob."
    • Bob refuses to tell the bad guy who he is.
  • Discussed: "These heroic types always announce themselves, the glory hounds..."
  • Conversed: "Watch, Bob's gonna announce himself to the villain now...yup, there he goes."

Hello. My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You are a Troper. Prepare to go back to the main trope.
