Creed 3's villain, Dame, is a compelling villain in his own right - but, a close look at his arc suggests he is a combination of 3 Rocky characters.
Jonathan Majors' Creed 3 villain, Damian Anderson, is a combination of three Rocky characters, which makes his characterization all the more compelling. Unlike its predecessors, Creed III sets the stage for its overarching storyline by opening with a flashback. Set in 2002 Los Angeles, the flashback introduces a young Adonis Creed, who sneaks out to watch his best friend Damian compete in an underground boxing championship.
Like Rocky, he also gets a big shot at the world title and grabs the opportunity by the horns by working hard towards it. Even after winning the heavyweight championship and reaching the epitome of his boxing potential, he does not settle like Rocky and tries aiming even higher.
Even after he becomes the heavyweight champion, Tommy feels this need to prove himself like Creed's Dame because the media keeps labeling him as Balboa’s clone. Just how Dame channels his anger and frustrations by challenging the man who offered him a helping hand, Tommy does the same by confronting Rocky. Although a professional bout never ensues between Rocky and Tommy, they in the street, where Rocky teaches him a valuable lesson: "a disciple can never be above his teacher.
