Tank Goodness: He's admitted to being a tank enthusiast.

Slasher Smile: His characteristic little smirk.

Propaganda Machine: Makes considerable use of media manipulation.

Man Behind the Man: Occasionally likes to stay in the shadows and let others (Stalin, Marcion, Parker) be the titular leader.

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: At the end of Tiberian Sun.

I Am the Trope: At the end of the Soviet campaign in Red Alert, 'For the time being Comrade Chairman, I am the future.'.

Big Bad: Of the entire Tiberium series.

Batman Gambit: Turns out GDI did exactly what he wanted when they fired the Ion Cannon at Temple Prime, causing a liquid Tiberium explosion that attracted the Scrin to Earth.

Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence:.

Ancient Astronauts: Tiberian Twilight makes it clear this is what he is.

Despite their assurances to the world each time that he’s really dead now, GDI leadership often wonders if they will ever truly be rid of this madman… Though Nod has been defeated many times, and Kane himself declared dead just as many, he always manages to return, despite being vaporized by an Ion Cannon and run through with a jagged piece of metal. He is convinced Tiberium herald a new age, one that mankind must embrace, and views GDI’s attempts to control and remove Tiberium as foolishly shortsighted, which leads him into conflict with them time and time again. Wherever Tiberium goes Nod is never far behind, and Kane calls the displaced and downtrodden to his cause. He has led Nod every time they rose against GDI, through the years. The enigmatic leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, self-proclaimed prophet, and most magnificent of bastards.

1.4.2.1 Commander (later General) Anton Slavik.

PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.

All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.

Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
