Despite his upbeat nature, Viscous takes his mission to stop the [[Adversary]] very seriously.<ref name=":4">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Seven|number=3|hero_quote1=Viscous|quote1=The Adversary.

Viscous often speaks in a very literal way.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|context=(unkillable ally Abrams)|transcription=Abrams is a killing machine!

=== Appearance ===

[[File:Viscous psd.png|thumb|141x141px|"Tourist" Viscous]]

Viscous' current model is a modified version of {{HeroIcon|Kelvin}}'s [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']] model. He has a green goo body shaped like an astronaut suit, with black shoes and gloves, and a black patch on his right shoulder. His head is a green sphere with a black neck connection and two misshapen black dots for eyes (the right one is slightly bigger). A black stick "skeleton" with ball joints can be seen inside his body. His weapon is a futuristic two-handed gun, similar to Kelvin's but black.

Viscous has had two proposed redesigns in the files, one in which he had a large body with a coral arm and an octopus-like creature inside his head, and another in which he was characterized as a tourist wearing shorts, sunglasses, an orange cap and a portable camera. His current portrait artwork and icon depict Viscous with a bulky featureless goo body, more similar to his current model.

{{AbilityIcon|The Cube}} is a cube made of [[wikipedia:Protoplasm|protoplasmic]] goo.<ref name=":1">{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Unselect|voice line]] (Unselect): ''"When you need to be trapped in a protoplasmic cube, you're going to be thinking, 'man, I wish I had Viscous' help. He seems like a nice person who would trap me in a protoplasmic cube'."''</ref> The Cube nullifies all pain, even for characters like {{PageRef|name=Victor}}.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s in-game [[Victor/Quotes#Allies|voice line]] (Clutch Cube): ''"I... I don't feel pain!"''</ref> Viscous doesn't question how the Cube works, even when it can heal non-organic bodies like {{PageRef|name=Bebop}}'s.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Bebop|number=2|hero_quote1=Bebop|quote1=Hey, Viscous! I'm not organic. Why does the cube heal me?|hero_quote2=Viscous|quote2=We don't question the cube.}}</ref> Viscous spends time in the Cube whenever he feels sad.<ref name=":0">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Grey Talon|number=1|hero_quote1=Viscous|quote1=Do you want to spend time in the cube? It's where I go when I'm sad. Or injured. Or just want to be in the cube.}}</ref>

Haze takes Viscous and his problems seriously.<ref name=":3">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Haze|number=3|hero_quote1=Viscous|quote1=Thanks for your help, Haze. Not everyone takes the problems of the Deep seriously.|hero_quote2=Haze|quote2=We don't live in a vacuum. If there's a problem in the Deep, it's only a matter of time before it's a problem on land.}}</ref>  

 

Haze wants to know more about the Adversary in case more creatures like it come through the Deep's [[Astral Gates|astral gate]].<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Haze|number=1|hero_quote1=Haze|quote1=Viscous, after the ritual, I need you to tell me about the Adversary.|hero_quote2=Viscous|quote2=But after the ritual, the Adversary will be gone!|hero_quote3=Haze|quote3=Yes, but there may be others, and the OSIC needs to be prepared.}}</ref>

* Viscous likes {{PageRef|name=Holliday}}'s hat and wants to wear it.<ref name=":5">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Holliday|number=1}}</ref>

 

 

* {{PageRef|name=Fathom}} was another hero from the Deep, like Viscous. It's unknown how Fathom and Viscous were related, as they didn't have voice lines for each other.
