Beasty Boy on Rampage

Initial reports of a new criminal gang called "Trio" wreaking havoc on Paragon City's Longbow Reservists, have turned out to the work of one man, a true villain at that, the Beasty Boy. For unknown reasons the controversial figure has accepted a commission from the Fraternal Association of Beach Bums Lodges (FABBL, or simply "Fable") of the Rogue Islands to take up for the Infected beach-combing for coins when not surfing along the scenic coasts of Mercy Island against the Longbow Reservists. It has been claimed for some time that the Longbows have boosted their Public Intoxication and Littering tickets, under the pretense of waging the War of Terror against vandal groups reportedly funded by Arachnos, by harassing the Infected who have been squatting along the beaches for years.

Public sentiment of current slew of violence against the self-appointed law-bringers on the island is mixed. The Infected themselves mumble something about being able to kick the habit any time they like. While residents of Mercy City often mention that the Beasty Boy should be doing something about their parking tickets next. Uniformed members of Arachnos, speaking under the condition of anonymity, are just relieved that he has stopped beating them up.

"At least he's taking out his grudge against authority on someone other than us, for once. " States one unnamed Arachnos source.


Members of the super-villain group the Unbeholden, a long time affiliate of the Beasty Boy have been seen with the rogue. When asked about this, former Beasty Boy associate Hanoi Jane answered,

"Our on-going efforts against the construction firms and developers, who are really behind the Longbow do-gooders 'efforts' on our island's (Mercy Island) supposed behalf should not be a surprise to anybody. "
She stated, "Beasty Boy has always been, and will continue to be, an ally in our struggle against the lackey-dogs of the military-industrial complex that Paragon City's so-called 'heroes' represent."

When asked what the heck Hanoi Jane was talking about, Mistress Terrorist in a follow-up phone conversation, said, "Looks like Beasty Boy is spending the Summer at the beach. Hope he has some lotion."
