''Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.''

Even though [[Strong Bad]]'s name, as well as those of his [[The Brothers Strong|brothers]] [[Strong Mad]] and [[Strong Sad]], imply that they are physically strong, '''Strong Bad's true strength''' is demonstrated with ambiguity in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. He is sometimes shown to be weak and out of shape, but there are also instances where he is incredibly strong.
