THE DARK DESPERADOS ARE PART OF THE BAD BUDDIES
POWERS: Tremendous strength & Rubber like physical body
BOUNCER'S BIO…..
Ndogo, a small and socially isolated male hippopotamus from the south of the Sahara, was constantly teased and lacked social connections. One day, while alone outside, he found himself confronted by three larger hippos. Despite his attempts to escape, Ndogo's small size prevented him from fleeing their torment.
As the bullying persisted, a sudden downpour erupted, convincing everyone to seek shelter. Frightened, Ndogo sought refuge under a tree. To his surprise, a passing vulture expelled a downpour of water, drenching the tree. It wasn't an ordinary tree—it was a mysterious rubber tree.
The ground shook beneath Ndogo’s feet, and the rain-filled sky turned dusty. A powerful dust tornado approached, causing Ndogo to cling desperately to the rubber tree. But the tornado's strength was overpowering, pulling and tilting the tree, revealing a mysterious glowing goo dripping from beneath its roots. Ndogo held on but eventually lost his grip and fell into the luminous fluid, becoming completely covered by the fluid and the roots.
As the dust tornado continued its path, the tree returned to its place, trapping Ndogo beneath its roots. As time passed, Ndogo knew he had to find a way out. He soon discovered a small hole, half his size. To his astonishment, he realized he had physically transformed and could easily squeeze through the hole. But as the twirling dust tornado dissipated, Ndogo noticed a kangaroo hopping vigorously towards the vulture in the distance. There was a battle that brought this random event on. Ndogo, feeling stronger and now possessed with new abilities, no longer carried the name Ndogo but the name BOUNCER.
With his newfound rubber-like powers, BOUNCER could bounce objects off his resilient body and squeeze into tight spots. He grew bigger and stronger from the glowing goo and decided to leave his home. His experiences of being bullied and his unresolved anger issues fueled his desire to seek out RIZZO the leader of the notorious Bad Pack. BOUNCER believed RIZZO was the only one who could truly understand him and shared his dark nature. Thus, he joined the Bad Pack to follow RIZZO and utilize his abilities to assist in their acts of corruption. BOUNCER became RIZZO’s own personal bodyguard for a limited time, his bouncer you could say.
In their battles against the virtuous Pawed Squad, BOUNCER used his elastic powers to great effect. He could deflect attacks, bouncing them harmlessly away, and slip into secure locations with ease. BOUNCER's decision to align with the Bad Pack stemmed from his longing for acceptance and an outlet for his anger.
There were rumors that the vulture in battle the day BOUNCER gained his powers, expressed his liking to RIZZO about the hippopotamus. RIZZO eventually, gave BOUNCER the opportunity to lead his own team. BOUNCER accepted and the first to join his team was DOWNPOUR. RIZZO, acknowledging the growth of the Bad Pack, felt this was the time to officially rename Bad Pack to the Bad Buddies.
