Amazing Rope Guy

The Amazing Rope Guy is a villian on the series WordGirl voiced by Larry Murphy. He dresses in a tight dark blue mask, tight rubber dark blue outfit, tight yellow gloves, and tight dark blue boots. He is not much of a bad guy but rather more of a fumbling comic-relief villain. Rope Guy doesn’t do real crimes like all the other villains, but seems to like doing minor crimes that involve him using his rope, such as trying to pull down a statue with rope or trying to tie a shoe clerk up so he could rob the shoe store. In spite of his name, he isn't that good with rope, as in his first appearance when he is about to "take down" WordGirl and Captain Huggyface by trying to "lasso" them up, he is unsuccessful, to which WordGirl replies that he's "not so amazing" at his rope skills. However, he absolutely excels at impressions of other people.

Amazing Rope Guy was mainly more of a minor villain in previous episodes, but he made his big break in the episode, "Oh, What a Tangled Knot You Tie, Amazing Rope Guy". The aforementioned episode reveals much more about Rope Guy than all of his brief cameos in other episodes. We discover that, even though he's not very good with rope, he's very good at impressions of other people, particularly other villains.

He first appears in the beginning of the episode “Mr. Big’s Big Plan”. His minor appearances include "Sidekicked to the Curb", when he was briefly assisted by The Whammer, and in "The Wrong Side of the Law" he was the only villain that did not get to run free while WordGirl was imprisoned. Most of his cameo appearances are not speaking parts and merely part of a crowd. He is one of the Whammer's former bosses.
