If you want to get an impression of the actor who played Rocky he wrote a book named "Shrapnel Of The Soul And Redemption". It is a recent publication with a February 28, 2016 publication date attached to it.

Rocky was a big asshole blowhard bully. I love that Superman came back to give him a well deserved beatdown.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

He's a jerk. Did he learn anything? Probably not. Most jerks don't, but it still made great justice putting him in his place.

Rocky was an a hole, but that line to Clark ''you're seat's in there four eyes' was hilarious.

He was a typical middle age creep who thinks he could hit on all the ladies, he was a scum.

He struck me as a pervert.

"Your seat's in there, Four Eyes."

I don't know I watched this the other day and if you watch him after Lois turns away from him he just shrugs it off and turns away like he's done trying. Now seat stealing isn't right no but Clark did push him into a fight.

I was hoping Lois really kicked his face in that scene when Rocky said that comment to the cook about the meat.

I think another interesting question is what kind of guy Rocky was AFTER getting a beatdown from Superman. Do you think he changed in any way? Maybe a little nicer towards the ladies who came into the diner? A little more complimentary towards the food?
After he recovered from his injuries (shattered hand, fractured vertebrate, broken ribs, whiplash) Rocky went mad with the humiliation of what happened and became convinced the man who attacked him was superman. he obsessively tracked Clark down to the Daily Planet and watchzed his movements.. he kidnapped Lois and then when Superman came looking and found them he exposed him to kryptonite. He then beat him to a pulp with a kryptonite knuckle duster and stabbed him with a kryptonite dagger

They pitied Rocky? That's a massive stretch. The man is clearly an beep and he even shoved the old guy in the face when he pleaded with him not to trash the place again.

I'd imagine probably a little atleast. The guy didn't look too young and those beep do realize after a while that younger guys (even supposed nerds and dorks in their eyes) can beat their ass. Plus he was embarrassed in front of his regulars. I think the Donner cut is even funnier b/c he does it
after
he turns back time so it seems more like poetic justice for that type of character rather than comeuppance. He was probably pretty nonplussed after that.

Or was he just an incurable jackass?

And he calls the food "garbage" yet he continues to eat there.

Rocky was the guy we all knew from High School who was a big unhappy ahole and was the biggest bully around! He probably had older brothers who protected him and made him feel invincible.
