Animator vs. Animation 1. Badass Normal : Victim. At least, until he starts cloning himself. Combat Pragmatist : Victim is this, much more so than his successor that appears in the sequels.

Clippy's eyes widening upon seeing the blob of letters flying at him. Messenger's emoji's reaction to being pulled out of the Recycle Bin into the stick figures' black hole.
Groin Attack : Clippy's tornado attack with the letters does some of this.

Only after he does this does the Second Coming start fighting back. Non-Standard Character Design : The Red, Blue, Green and Yellow stick figures have quite a different style from The Second Coming or any of the previous main Animations longer limbs and smaller, solid-colored heads , because In-Universe they weren't drawn by the Animator.
They were just characters from an unrelated "Stick Figures Fight" flash movie that happened to be open in another tab.
