Revanche is and Infected mercenary, who lost the skin from the bottom half of his face (so it's just skull and muscle) and all of his sanity. With his sanity, Revanche lost any inhibition to not kill his targets, going on torture sprees every time he finds someone who he feels deserves it, all of them bad people by our standards. Always ranting like a mad man, and occasionally faking his death time and time again to elude capture, Revanche is unlike any villain Goria has faced: Insane but not evil. Revanche is an anti-hero, but views himself as a villain due to his murdering and torture sprees.
To make him even worse, he's a reference four characters wrapped into one both personality and visually. Visually, he's Chapel from Spawn (skull), and Spider-Man 2099 (color scheme). Personality, he's Spider-Man 2099 (taunts), Deadpool (the insanity and rants), and the Joker (sense of humor, feigning death, and the entire time he's being interrogated by TORAH agents). He's also a bit of Freakazoid!, too.
The challenge of writing a character like this is keeping him over the top without A: making him too unrealistic and B: not making the character too much like the characters being spoofed. Luckily, Revanche has his own twisted style, as taken from these interactions:
When fighting Goria the first time, Revanche, while shooting at Goria, is taunting him. Goria knocks the guns out of his hands, but Revanche has an ace up his sleeve:
Revanche: Huh.... I really thought I could take you down with my words. I guess I'll have to resort to... MY FIRE BREATHING FISTS! (Closes his fists, unleashing flames from the tops of his gloves).
He also has to interact with the minor characters and environment:
After capturing and torturing a pedophile and making a taco, Revanche stands in front of the guy, holding his meal and a glass bottle of hot sauce:
Suspect/victim: I'm innocent, man! I haven't hurt a kid in years, and I sure as hell didn't touch her--
Revanche: (Spins and bashes the guy's head with the hot sauce bottle, shattering it) That doesn't mean ANYTHING! (Goes to the splatter on the wall). Ewwwww! I can't use this now! I don't know if it's hot sauce or blood!
After being captured (the only time), his interactions with the TORAH staff follows.
LTC Norton's:
Revanche: You know... you remind me of someone. Granted, I never saw his face, buuuuuuuuuuuut... you shoot like him.
Norton: How do you mean?
Revanche: You ever work with a guy with a giant, yet epically awesome mustache? I mean, we're talking gloriously holy mutton chops here, my man!
Norton: (Stares blankly) You've got to be taking the piss.
Revanche: Speaking of which, if I don't get the little boy's room soon, seeing how you shoot... I may be fucked!
Dr. Ross's:
Ross: (Disturbed by Revanche's madness) Do you ever get the feeling you're in a comic book?
Revanche: Uh... what?
Ross: You know, a book told in pictures that are in panels.
Revanche: You think we're in a comic book... and I'm the crazy one?!
Vlad's:
Vlad: Why Revanche? It's French for "revenge." Why not use "Revenge."
Revanche: "Revenge" is so boring, dude! Can you see that on TV? "The police are looking for Revenge!" Revanche is sooooo much kewler!
Vlad: I'm curious. How can you say certain words and letters if you have no lips?
Revanche: (Frightened) I... have... no... lips? You mean, someone ripped half of my face of and didn't have the courtesy to tell me? All this time, I've been living a lie, speaking like a normal human being! (Calm, again). Going by the crazy guy in the lab coat, I'm going to go with bad writing!
Zeta's:
Zeta: (Alluding to his insanity) Why are you always happy?
Revanche: I'm not always happy.
Zeta: But you sound happy, and seem like you're always smiling...
Revanche: I'm not always smiling, half of my fucking face is missing! Don't feel bad, though. I'm only just now finding this out.
Mimic's:
Revanche: You should bite your lip.
Mimic: What?
Revanche: You know, that nervous habit you do when you get disturbed by something. Or when your boyfriend says something you don't want to hear. Or when your stressed out about guarding a crazy guy.
(Mimic bites her lip)
Revanche: Tee-hee! You look like a little hamster! *heart*
Goria's:
Revanche: Did I tell you about how I nearly beat a guy to death with a block of cheese?
Goria: You-- You did what?
Revanche: So there I am, torturing this guy and making a nice omelette (I'm a world class chef, too, as far as you know). After a while, I notice this asshole is staring at me. I ask him to stop, but he just keeps staring and staring and staring and STARING! So, pick up this block of colby and I start smashing and smashingandSMASHINGANDSMASHING! AND I'M GOING SO FAST, I THINK THE CHEESE IS GOING TO MELT! And finally, when I think he's had enough... I put the cheese down. And you want to know what?
Goria: (Disturbed [as most people should be])No. No, I really don't.
Revanche: Too bad! So, he's still sitting there. I drop the cheese. AND THE LITTLE FUCKER'S STILL STARING!
As you can see, Revanche is deranged, disturbing, frightening, and purely psychotic. There's a very sick sense of shock humor here with him (especially since his life is quite like a Happy Tree Friends short with people instead of animals), but at its core, it's quite disgusting and horrifying. This works perfectly with the Goria universe, seeing how most of the Infected are themselves horrifying in appearance, but have human personalities, for better or worse. Revanche is too insane and disfigured to look at things "normally," and uses his backwards logic to realize this. He also uses it to keep his "moral" code, even though its as twisted as him.
