(de-gerund; unless I'm missing something the Strong Badman version of The Cheat only appeared outside of a Sketchbook in one toon so I don't know that I'd call that "recurring") |

Strong Badman is Strong Bad's comic-book styled alter-ego. Strong Badman closely resembles Strong Bad, but is drawn in a far more realistic style with exaggerated musculature and wearing cuffed "pirate" boots common to superhero comic characters. He appears to be a supervillain, or at least an antihero — though the Strong Bad Email he first appeared in was asking about a "superhero name", Strong Bad instead refers to a "supervillain" who owns a death ray; in a later encounter with Strong Badman, the two discuss Badman's "evil plan". Strong Badman is accompanied by his loyal sidekick "Li'l Stiny", who is forever fetching Danishes for him.
Strong Badman appears in the comic book The Total Adventures of Strong Badman, published by Cheap As Free Comics. The comic books cost $1.25 (US)/$8.00 (Can). Every known issue also bears the logo of the Comics Code Authority, albeit lacking the word "Authority". Strangely, there are two 81st issues and two 87th issues. Strong Badman typically appears in Easter eggs that reveal the cover of an issue of Total Adventures serving as a pun on a background element. It is rare to see internal pages and there has yet to be a full toon set in Strong Badman's world. Most covers feature one-off antagonists that Strong Badman faces off against, with Deutschman being an occasionally recurring ally. The few glimpses of his adventures seem to be more "real estate humor focused", centering on Strong Badman's dramatic styles contrasted with his small, inexpensive rent-controlled apartment (not "a secret underground lair filled with secret underground gadgets").
