tv tropes for Mulder
Adorkable: Especially when he's geeking out about his favorite topics.
Agent Mulder: Lookie! He has his own trope!
Alien Abduction: Pretty central to his story. It happened to his sister, Scully and even (eventually) to him.
Aliens Among Us: They're heeeeeeere!
Chaotic Good: Despite being in law enforcement, he disregards the rules and even the law for the sake of the greater good.
Conspiracy Theorist: Even the conspiracy theorists tell him his theories are weirder than theirs.
The Cuckoolander Was Right: His wacky theories tend to be right most of the time.
Deadpan Snarker: His main sense of humor.
Family Relationship Switcheroo: The man who raised him turns out not to be his biological father and his biological father turns out to be the main villain (also a Luke I am Your Father thing).
Flirting Under Fire: Even in the midst of danger there's time to flirt with Scully.
Guilt Complex: He has a massive one about Samantha, and Scully in particular...
Gut Feeling: Mulder goes with his instincts more often than not.
Heroes Want Redheads: Scully.
The Insomniac: He has quite a bit of this on and off.
Last Name Basis: He and Scully call each other by their last names constantly, and it's a rare BIG DEAL if they use the first names.
Nerds Are Sexy: Mulder and Scully have this trope nailed.
Occult Detective: His job investigating the X-Files.
Porn Stash: His guilty pleasure.
The Profiler: He's noted as being exceptional at profiling, and it's where he got his start.
Properly Paranoid: His paranoia is justified throughout the show.
Screams Like A Little Girl: It was a girly scream.
Seeker Archetype: The whole show revolves around his quest for the Truth. (It's Out There!)
Tall Dark And Handsome: Oh hell yeah.
Tall Dark And Snarky: He fits this too in looks and personality.
What The Hell Hero: "Mulder, you're nuts!" -Scully
