Real Name: Joe Bannon
Occupation: Ex-cop, soldier of fortune, vigilante
Age: 40
Origin: Joe Bannon was a good cop, until he got caught defending the public during an alien invasion. He was only trying to help innocent bystanders, but he ended up getting blasted by a special ray developed by the alien forces. Normally, this may have killed Joey, but this was no ordinary death ray, and these were no ordinary aliens. They were the different-colored space apes, a race of extraterrestrial gorillas bent on dominating mankind. These simians didn't just want to enslave the people of the earth, they wanted to preserve them as a food source. And everyone knows how much monkeys like bananas. Gorog, the leader of the different-colored space apes had developed a Banana-izer ray that could turn the head of a human being into a banana for the extraterrestrial apes to feast on. Although their invading forces were beaten back, the Banana-izer did zap Joe, and transformed his head into a giant banana.Understandably, Joey was upset by this. Now he has a banana for a head and a thirst for vengeance. Though the banana head had driven him to insanity, and his over-the-top violent tactics against criminals got him kicked off the force, causing him to go into work as a bounty hunter, he still has a moral compass. He mostly just kills bad guys, but he also has a vendetta against monkeys, apes, gorillas, and simians of all types. So, lock up your zoo gates, and run screaming if you are a criminal! Joey Banana is coming for you! And don't ever call him a fruit!
Powers, Abilities and Weaponry:Mostly just weaponry. Joey is an insane, banana-headed man who has a lot of weapons.
Weaknesses: Monkeys. apes. gorillas etc. All simians piss him off.
Least Favorite Ronald Reagan Movie: Bedtime for Bonzo
Least Favorite Video Game: Every single Donkey Kong game.
Oh my goodness, "don't ever call him a fruit." Oh he is fun. I love that his head is a banana. So I know you have mentioned that there is a lot of violence in your comics, but is this one of the more violent stories? And since he hates all simians, does he sometimes hate the human race just a little bit since humans are distant relatives to apes and such? I also love that he has a banana symbol on his belt buckle.
ReplyDeleteYes, this character is like the Moose Comics equivalent of the Punisher. But of course I made my most violent character my most ridiculously silly looking one! I couldn't resist.
ReplyDeletethe violence will be there, but my drawing style is so cartoony that it shouldn't be too upsetting to people. The nudity on the other hand, along with the swearing, is probably the most offensive aspect of my stuff.
Yeah I think that since he has a banana for a head that it helps with the violence aspect. It is a good blending, and brings a sense of humor to it.
