Heroic Comedic Sociopath/Quotes

"Frank Hannibal: What are the parts of your job you like the most, Sergeant?

Schlock: My plasma cannons. Using them. Explosions. Close combat. Cutting a wide swath through the enemy.

Frank Hannibal: You like the killing, then.

Schlock: Done right, yeah. Ending a horrible, evil person with superior firepower is very satisfying. It's so much simpler than how society usually tries to do it.

Frank Hannibal: How do you feel about the word "sociopath?"

Schlock: I get mistaken for one all the time."

- Schlock Mercenary

"Schlock: Hey, we don't need an employer. We're here, the mob is down there, and we're already dressed for dancing.

Tagon: Sergeant, we're not going to go down there and start shooting just for the fun of it. We're soldiers, not sociopaths.

Schlock: Not sociopaths. NOT. hmmmm... I guess I ought to go set the guys straight on that one.

Kerchak: I like the way you bring out the best in your troops, Tagon."

- Schlock Mercenary

Captain Tagon: You are. But you're my reckless, dangerously violent sociopath."

- Schlock Mercenary

"Schlock: So...

Thurl: Eat it, kill it, make friends with it or take a bath in it. THOSE are the points on your moral compass."

- Schlock Mercenary

- Schlock, Schlock Mercenary

"Karl Tagon: Most mercenaries won't do certain things no matter how much you offer to pay them.

Karl Tagon: Most patriots won't do certain things no matter how much they love their country.

Karl Tagon: But sociopaths... they'll accept any justification for the chance to do things nobody else can stomach.

Tailor: Don't worry, General. Your son isn't a sociopath. He might have a few on payroll, though.

Karl Tagon: So Sergeant Schlock is real, then?

Belkar: HA HA HA HA HA HA! It's working! It's WORKING, SUCKERS!"

- The Order of the Stick, demonstrating the extremely rare "fake character development"

- Gordon Freeman, Freemans Mind

""It could be safe to say that you would rather have a psychopath at your side that to your back, since they're more likely to splatter your enemy's brains on the wall than your own. The Sociopath loves to fight, or at the very least feels the most alive while in battle. They kill without hesitation or remorse, and only rarely do we see any kind of emotion other than a "Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a rock up your ass" sort of vibe. While dangerous and unpredictable at times, they often have a personal code of honor, and will not break it under any circumstances. Though we doubt shooting you over the last Pop Tart in the pantry falls within the confines of that code, so you'd best watch yourself.""

Wolverine (claws-deep in a Skrull): Relax, junior. They're Skrulls. They'll grow back. Eventually.

Max: Nobody we know, at least."

"Guerrero: I'm gonna give you a choice, 'cause I believe in every human being's right to being tortured democratically. Peel your fingernails off with this, or shoot you in the kneecaps. I have a preference, but I'm gonna leave it up to you, it's your body."

- One of the "heroes" of Eight Bit Theater.

Garland: Now, this killing, would you characterize it as precise or strategic?

Fighter: It's kinda indiscriminate really"

Fuzzy: You haven't enjoyed my help? But you stopped screaming in horror hours ago!

Lance: Now the screams are on the inside."

- Sam and Fuzzy
