The Jock

To high school movies in the 80s, this is the Bully but if they were athletic.

The guy who plays sports, is adored by everyone, and typically uses his social dominance to torment low-tier, uncool guys on the social hierarchy to show and remind them who's boss. He's got All The Girls all over him and the guys look up to him as a role model. Like the Bully, the Jock relentlessly harasses the Nerds and Geeks of the school as the two groups are the biggest and easiest targets of bullying. The Jock may sometimes get low grades, but he's on the Principal's side and rarely gets in trouble, even when he's busy screwing around with the weaklings. Since the Jock has his interests in sports, he has an athletic body build and towers over most other kids around him excluding other Jocks. And since he has to show that he is a Super Man, he has to retain his masculinity by not showing weakness through "soft" emotions such as sadness or fear.
