The Cheat's first appearance as "Firebert"
Firebert is The Cheat's commando name, originating in the Strong Bad Email army. He insists on being called this whenever he goes on a commando mission for Strong Bad. His uniform consists of a black two-piece stealth suit with a black snow cap over the top corner of his head.
The Cheat also portrays Firebert as a character in fictional productions seen in the Homestar Runner universe. Firebert is a member of the Cheat Commandos, also appearing in a puppet crossover with the Dangeresque series. Firebert is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos figurine set.
Cheat Commandos
A bad commando name
Firebert is one of the main characters in the Cheat Commandos Adventures cartoon show. While all the other characters speak normally, Firebert seems to be voiced by The Cheat; much like The Cheat, other characters have no difficulty understanding what he saying. Before he was heard to speak in a cartoon, Strong Bad used a typical voice when playing with the Firebert action figure in the Cheat Commandos commercial.
Firebert may be the team's demolitions expert: in the original commercial, he is seen blowing up a large cliff with Blue Laser operatives directly below it. Firebert can and will eat anything with nutmeg on it, and used this to a tactical advantage by eating Christmas lights restraining him and Dangeresque.
Commando Name
Strong Bad thinks Firebert is "not a good commando name", a sentiment he has repeated on Twitter. The packaging for the Firebert action figure similarly emphasizes that it is "Not a Good Commando Name!!" in lieu of a standard promotional line. This disapproval extends to the cartoon, where Gunhaver assigns him to think of a better commando name rather than join the team on a mission. Flashfight, whose thoughts and actions often run contrary to Gunhaver, considers Firebert to be "an exquisite commando name". The negativity has not gotten to The Cheat, who has made no attempt to change his commando name.
In another instance of less-than-positive reception, The Cheat made a public appearance as "TV's Firebert" at the Vaguely Military Career Fair. After some time with no visitors, he dejectedly changed the booth's sign to "Trogdor" instead of "Firebert", which immediately drew a large crowd.
When brainstorming commando names for The Cheat to use in the army email, The Brothers Chaps assembled a list of many names. Most of these would go on to be used by the Cheat Commandos cast.
