The character is usually depicted as a Western Caucasian (usually from England, France or Germany) but people from Eagle Land are more common in the last 60 years or so; if this is the case, expect some White Man's Burden excuse for his actions (which usually consist of taking over a place, exploiting the natives and the land, then leaving the place as an economic waste after the natives get fed up and kick him out). It's fairly common in works from Africa, India and Latin America since those are places where Imperialism hit harder. It's also a stereotypical Soviet villain. The racial opposite is Mighty Whitey, and the ideological one is Dirty Communists. Named after the racist, drunken, Egomaniac Hunter Míster Danger from the Venezuelan novel Doña Bárbara. The term gained notoriety when Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez used it to describe George W. Bush. Examples of Mister Danger include:
