The Amazing Rope Guy
A minor evil villain (voiced by Larry Murphy) who dresses in a tight dark blue mask, tight rubber dark blue outfit, tight yellow gloves, and tight dark blue boots. He first appears in the beginning of the episode “Mr. Big’s Big Plan” and has a goatee and a slightly squeaky voice. The Amazing 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 his rope, as in his first appearance when he is about to "take down" WordGirl and Captain Huggy Face by trying to "lasso" them up, he is unsuccessful, to which WordGirl replies that he's "not so amazing." He loves knots and is also shown to be an unsuccessful children's performer. He once became successful in his crimes by poorly impersonating other more successful villains, but gave it up after he grew sick of the villains he impersonated getting the recognition instead of him.

Famous quotes containing the words amazing, rope and/or guy:
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I love him who does not want to have too many virtues. One virtue is more virtue than two, since it is more knot on which to hang the rope that is destined to hang him.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The way I see it, God gave me the body, so I intend to use it. It’s a big ego trip.... You know, you look around a bar, you pick out a guy and you say, that’s the one: I’m going to take all of his money tonight.”
—Teresa Beaty (b. c. 1975)
