Who's always giving Strong Bad a hand? It's The Cheat! Though he's Strong Bad's sidekick and Strong Mad's best pal, The Cheat is often the butt of physical abuse, whether intentional or not. When not assisting Strong Bad in whatever hair-brained scheme he's up to, The Cheat is probably working on "Powered by The Cheat", an amateur series of Flash cartoons seemingly made as an outlet for him to express his bottled-up feelings of abuse and lack of appreciation.

While The Cheat has been shown to speak fluent English (as shown by his Flash cartoons), he often speaks in a "language" composed of high-pitched squeaks and sounds, as shown here.
