White Bomber

Bomberman, sometimes referred to as White Bomber, is the main protagonist of the Bomberman series. He is the primary representative of the Bomberman people, who became the dominant inhabitants of Planet Bomber. Like all Bombermen, he has the ability to generate bombs in his hands. There are many incarnations of him represented in the different games of the series, which do not usually keep a consistent description of the character. He is often saving his home planet, the galaxy, or even the universe from disaster.

Trivia

• He is voiced by Peter Von Gomm in the English version of Super Bomberman R whom he also voices X from Mega Man X7 and Grey in Mega Man ZX Advent.
• Bomberman becomes an assist character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
• Bomberman's implied love interests include Pretty Bomber (whenever she is an ally), Cutie Bomber, Princess Millian, and (at first) Lilith. He also has a daughter by the events of the early title Lode Runner's Rescue (as well as a son according to the North American storyline of Bomber Boy).
• In Team Harmony’s Adventure Series, Team Harmony’s Adventures Chronicles, The Amber Harmony Heroes Z (The Series) and Miraculous Harmony Adventures, most of his others powers came from his home series or sometimes inherited by Starable.
• In Miraculous Harmony Adventures, there are numerous times White is sometimes the target for the akumatized villain. (Also, in MHA, it is also shown that he has an Akuma Sense like Starable or Amanda in the episode ???)
  • In Cruelbow (MHA), he and the rest of his gang were part of the target for Jayden/Cruelbow, due to their camera footage of every Jayden's harassment to other heroes and civilians.

TV Tropes

In canon

• The Ace: The Bomberman Bros. were made to defend the universe alongside him, but he made himself that way from a simple worker robot. He's also the only one to have ever fought and defeated God (The Angel of Light and Shadow, who created his universe and was set to erase it.)
• Become a Real Boy: In the 1985 NES game, he was a bomb-making robot that worked with others like him underground. After hearing rumors that a robot can become human by reaching the surface, he decided to escape and later emerged a full human.
• Big Brother Instinct: Evident in Super Bomberman R, listing "his brothers and sisters" as his Likes in his profile.
• Big Brother Worship: Towards Mighty Bomber in the Jetters anime.
• Big Damn Hero: In some of the games.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Has a very intense-looking pair throughout Bomberman Generation. (These are the same eyebrows that only show up when he's angry in other games (notably Bomberman Hero). So apparently, Bomberman is taking this very seriously.)
• Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: In Super Bomberman R, he's one tsukkomi among seven boke.
• The Cameo: In a 3DS Tetris game.
• Cheerful Child: His personality in the Bomberman Land series.
• Chick Magnet: His implied love interests are Pretty Bomber (though not in Super Bomberman R due to being related), Cutie Bomber, Princess Millian, and Lilith.
• Deadpan Snarker: Considering his siblings' antics in Super Bomberman R, he's quite prone to exasperated remarks. He also gets a few snarks in at Pommy's expense in the good ending of The Second Attack.
• Dub Name Change: Ivory Bomber in Bomberman Hardball, and Cheerful White in the English Bomberman Land localizations.
• Elemental Powers: Bomberman's got a storied history under his belt, and when all he has is bombs, this has made for many, many different kinds of bombs; those harnessing the forces of nature are no exception. Most of these are introduced in Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!.
  • Playing with Fire: The standard Bomb, known at times as the Fire Bomb, is just that: a bomb that creates a spreading trail of fire in its wake. Despite its name, however, it's often treated as Non-Elemental.
  • Making a Splash: The Aqua Bomb, which didn't appear in The Second Attack!, is used to create underwater explosions in Quest and Tournament. In Generation, it can be used outside water and explodes into water.
  • An Ice Person: The Ice Bomb, which... well, does about exactly what you'd expect.
  • Blow You Away: The Hurricane Bomb, which creates ferocious gusts of wind that can harmlessly carry him large distances. The Wind Bomb in Generationis similar, but causes damage rather than carry him.
  • Shock and Awe: The Lightning Bomb, which calls down a spreading bolt of lightning. The Thunder Bomb in Jetters is similar, but has a cylindrical explosion.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: The Napalm/Navarm Bomb, which incites a molten variation of this in unearthing plumes of lava.
  • Light 'em Up: The Mute/Light Bomb, which generates an intense flash that both holds potential for one-shot kills as well as stopping time for everything in the blast radius.
  • Casting a Shadow: The Gravity Bomb, which creates a localized black hole. Has similar power to the Mute/Light Bomb, as well as being the only force that can counteract it.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": As the original Bomberman, he's most commonly referred to as Bomberman. Later, he was given other names to differentiate such as White Bomberman and White Bomber.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming: In the early games, he was a robot that produced bombs in an underground factory of the Bungeling Empire, but he grew tired of the monotony and left to become the hero he is today.
• Heroic Mime: With certain exceptions, such as Bomberman Hero and Bomberman Quest giving him dialogue, and has full voice acting in Super Bomberman R and R2.
• In-Series Nickname: Bomber Cop in Bomberman '93, Shiro Bom (White Bomb) in Japanese, and Bomber John in Bomberman Touch.
• Light Is Good: He's the main heroic figure in the series and is colored white.
• Magikarp Power: In the Grand Prix modes, White starts out with 2 fire and 1 bomb, but has the highest stat caps at 8 across the board. If he takes the time to build up his power, he can turn into a dangerous Lightning Bruiser.
• Only Sane Man: In Super Bomberman R, he leads a team of intergalactic heroes consisting of him and his siblings, yet is the only one who takes his job seriously. The dynamic hasn't changed a bit in R2, either.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Blue Boy to Pretty or Pink's Pink Girl (notice he's wearing blue).
• Scarf of Asskicking: Only in Bomberman Generation.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: In Super Bomberman R, White is the Manly Man to Green's Sensitive Guy, but White is the Sensitive Guy to Red's Manly Man.
• Spin-Offspring: Daughter Alexandra in Lode Runner's Rescue (if one accepts the original storyline of him also being Lode Runner) and son "Atomic Punk" in Bomber Boy (at least according to the USA box and manual).
• Super Drowning Skills: He can't swim, so unless the occasion is an underwater area where Water Is Air, this is usually his Weaksauce Weakness.
• This Is Unforgivable!: When Buggler fuses all of the Dastardly Bombers into the Great Gattaida in Super Bomberman R, he tells Buggler that he will never forgive him!
• To Be a Master: He's quite diligent about training, much to his siblings' chagrin.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Water. He can't swim and in some cases has a severe case of hydrophobia. In gameplay, getting thrown into deep bodies of water can kill him instantly, with Bomberman Hero simply taking out one bar of life and throwing him out. In some games, his explosives won't work underwater unless he gets a special bomb type.
