Hank J. Wimbleton

Hank J. Wimbleton is the main protagonist of the Madness Combat franchise on Newgrounds. He is a mercenary on a mission to destroy the Agency Against Hank Wimbleton.
Due to the ambiguous nature of the series, Hank's motives are not fully shown, and some of his actions, especially ones he takes early on in the series, can be interpreted as villainous. Nevertheless, it becomes increasingly clear over the course of the series that he is the lesser of all of the evils in the whole Nevada, and thus making him not a fully-fledged villain
Hank serves as the main protagonist of nearly all entries in the series, except for Madness Combat 8: Inundation, where he's a posthumous character, Madness Combat 9: Aggregation, where he's the tritagonist, and the entire Sanford & Deimos Arc, where he’s a supporting character.
==Personality==
Like many of the Madness Combat characters, Hank has an ambiguous personality. However, it can be inferred that he is sadistic from the end narration of Madness Combat 1 saying he "had a good time" killing the other grunts. He is also seen to be cocky in Incident 010A from how he comments on the Mag Agent as he fights, although he messes up and is torn apart. He also has no problem using other people as meat shields, even using Deimos' corpse to defend himself at one point (although in his defense, Deimos had used his dead body for the same purposes minutes prior).
Despite this, Hank has shown to be merciful in some of the incidents by how he spares the grunt Sanford and Deimos bring him in Incident 100A as it was the wrong guy and even saves a grunt in Incident 010A. (Although he uses the grunt to break a window and as a meat shield afterwards ) He is also shown to have a sense of humor as he mocks the Soldat agent in Madness Combat 9.5 for having only one eye by pointing at his own eyes.
Hank isn't devoid of human characteristics outside of his job. A good example of this is shown in Incident:001A, where he gets incredibly excited upon seeing a giant blender to kill his enemies in to the point where his hands start shaking. He can be empathetic towards his allies, even though it's a side of him that he doesn't show very often. This is displayed when he starts working directly with Sanford after being Magnified and the two fight off grunts together. He also picks up Sanford while escaping from a roof when the Auditor starts to explode after he inadvertently absorbs and revives Tricky rather than letting him move on his own. This does imply that Hank cares for his allies, or Sanford and perhaps Deimos at the very least. However, it is revealed that Hank and his relationship with his comrades is based more on them having the same objective, rather than just a mutual relationship.
==Powers and Abilities==
Hank is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, capable of killing dozens of enemies in close combat with his bare hands alone, not to mention using melee weapons or firearms. He is very strong, able to tear off body parts with ease, such as when he tore an agent's head from his body in Madness Combat 6: Antipathy, and he is also capable of wielding almost any weapon, including rifles and giant melee weapons, with just one hand. Despite his strength, Hank does not have any more resistance to damage than a common Grunt, though he does seem to possess a high pain tolerance and is able to keep going in spite of his injuries. Hank is also incredibly agile, he is capable of leaping several meters in the air as well as performing flips and dodges with ease. His reflexes are quick enough that he is able to react fast enough to dodge or even deflect bullets and melee attacks.
After getting revived by the Magnification Chamber in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation, Hank's developed a larger body and a crustacean-like right arm. In his magnified form, Hank's strength is high enough to allow him to take on and overpower a Mag Agent: V3. After making contact with the Auditor's halo in Madness Combat 10: Abrogation, Hank becomes infused with the halo's strength, causing him to become even more powerful than he already was in his magnified form. In addition to a further increase in strength, Hank is able channel the halo's electricity through his arm to perform electrically-charged punches strong enough to kill a Mag Agent: V4 in two punches and even harm the Auditor.
== History==
Hank first appears as a normal Grunt, referred to as "Our hero". He is seen chilling beside a tree. The boombox playing the Chicken Dance Remix from another Grunt annoys hank, he then asked the grunt to turn it down but the grunt punched hank in the face which started a fight . After Hank punches the Grunt to the ground, several other grunts rush in and tried to kill Hank along with Jebus who was here to assassinate hank. Jebus arrives, and is a powerful foe, with the ability to revive grunts as Zombies and summon powerful weapons. However, Hank still manages to kill him.
Hank's next appearance involves him running after the Sheriff. After defeating several Grunts and Tricky, Hank makes it to the Sheriff's room, only to be shot with a Desert Eagle by Jesus.
Hank is later revived, albeit with a bandage covering his head wound. Hank once again runs his way through the Sheriff's people in a quest to kill the Sheriff and Jesus. However, upon noticing Hank's presence, the Sheriff activates the Improbability Drive, distorting reality and causing all sorts of highly improbable things to happen, like giant marshmallows falling from the sky and people randomly flying into the air.
Hank gets knocked out of the building by tricky (Who was revived) and falls onto the streets. Thanks to the Improbability Drive, the Sun sprouts a body and attacks Hank, but Hank kills it, plunging Nevada into darkness. Hank later makes his way back to where the Sheriff is. Right before he can kill the Sheriff, Jesus stabs Hank with a sword. However, Hank shoots both Jesus and the Sheriff with a shotgun, before Hank bleeds out from the wound.
Hank gets revived again, now with bandages covering the spot where Jesus stabbed him. Hank crashes a party at Club M by ramming two people guarding the entrance of the building. He enters the Club and runs his way through several more grunts, as well as a 1337 agent. Hank later makes it to the dance floor, where Tricky is working as a DJ in the Club. Hank proceeds to shoot tricky and then kills all of the club attendees. However, Jesus arrives and revives all of the people he just killed. Just as hank finishes killing most of the zombies and attempts to attack Jesus, the zombified 1337 agent shoots Hank in the neck. Hank doesn't give up though, and finishes Jesus off by using a suicide bomb. Tricky (Who is still alive) then proceeds to play a chicken dance remix on his DJ booth.
Hank is again revived through unknown means and sets out to attack an A.A.H.W. facility. Hank kills dozens of 1337 agents before eventually encountering Jesus. Jesus revives several of the agents Hank killed and fights Hank. Hank and Jesus's duel takes them to a cliff. Hank falls off and lands on a ledge below. Jesus sends his zombified agents to kill Hank, but Hank shoots and kills them. Jesus then appears and briefly fights Hank before knocking him to the bottom of the canyon. Hank fights and kills several more 1337 agents, including a few zombified agents until Tricky appears. Tricky attacks Hank and Jesus, having been contracted to kill both of them by the Auditor. Tricky fights Hank and kills Jesus, tearing off his head. Sanford and Deimos then appear to deliver Hank the dragon sword to fight Tricky. Hank duels Tricky, armed with a stop sign, and decapitates him. However, the Improbability Drive revives Tricky and Tricky kills Hank.
Not done playing with Hank just yet, Tricky revives Hank, now with a metal jaw, and leaves him a gun and a note telling him to "do what comes natural." Hank fights his way through many agents and grunts, eventually finding the Improbability Drive. However, the Improbability Drive causes a train to crash through the room. Hank boards the train and fights several 1337 agents before making his way to Tricky. The train crashes, damaging Hank even more. Hank fights Tricky and Tricky kills him. However, Tricky revives Hank once again so they can continue fighting. Hank attacks Tricky with a pipe, and Tricky flees and summons a building. Hank enters the building and kills several grunts. Hank eventually finds Tricky and kills him with a battle ax and a P90 before knocking him off a cliff. However, Tricky's death is registered as invalid and he is revived as Demon Tricky.
Demon Tricky kills Hank, but revives him soon after, giving him a new look. Demon Tricky chases Hank through several buildings, until Hank shoots his head, damaging the Portable Improbability Drive. Hank later encounters Mag Agent: Torture and kills it with a chainsaw. Demon Tricky later returns, albeit smaller as he had taken out the Portable Improbability Drive and given it to two A.T.P. Engineers to repair. Demon Tricky punches Hank out of the building to where the Engineers are working on the PID. However, Jesus appears, kills the Engineers and Hank, then shoots the Portable Improbability Drive, making Tricky lose his demon form. Jesus then kills Tricky before turning his attention to the Auditor.
Hank's body was later recovered by Sanford and Deimos. Deimos revived Hank and turned Hank into a half-mag. However, Deimos gets shot before he finishes reviving Hank. Hank then uses Deimos' body as a meatshield in order to get close to the Auditor. Hank kills the Auditor's goons, and then they proceed in a fight.
Hank engages in melee combat with the Auditor while Sanford tries shooting him. The Auditor later blasts Hank's face with black fire and shoots part of his tentacle off, stunning him. The Auditor then turns his attention to Sanford and tries to kill him. However, Hank recovers and grabs the Halo off the Auditor's head. Hank gets zapped by the Halo, causing a hand to grow in place of his tentacle. The Auditor then summons a pillar and retreats into his facility. Hank and Sanford fight their way through many l33t Agents and Engineers, as well as a Mag Agent V4, eventually making it to the roof where the Auditor is. Hank kills several more Agents, Engineers and a second Mag Agent V4 with his . The Auditor then goes to duel Hank and Sanford. Hank damages the Auditor using electrically charged punches, forcing the Auditor to absorb the dead bodies of the Agents and Engineers to heal his wounds. However, one of the dead bodies the Auditor absorbs is the body of Tricky the Clown, the Auditor becomes unstable and an energy beam tears through him. Just before the Auditor explodes, Hank grabs Sanford and the two descend a ladder leading off of the roof.
As Hank and Sanford finish climbing down the tower, the Auditor-Tricky fusion begins spreading black pools that spawn out dark skeletal grunt-like creatures to go after him and Sanford, but the pair are able to defeat all of the fusion's unholy minions. The fusion then reveals its true form as a skeletal abomination resembling Demon Tricky and wearing Jesus' halo. After the fusion screams "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!" Hank attacks the demonic fusion by repeatedly punching it with his crustacean-like right arm, but the fusion retaliates by punching Hank back and tearing off his right arm before sending him and Sanford to a purgatory-like dimension. Inside the dimension, Hank and Sanford are confronted by one of the shadowy skeletal grunts from before, only resembling Tricky and with the Halo atop its head. The Tricky grunt summons several A.A.H.W. units to attack Sanford and Hank, but the pair manages to fend all of them off as the Tricky grunt summons a stop sign and retreats through a black pool. As Hank and Sanford become separated as they are making their way through the purgatory, the Auditor appears before Hank and zaps him with dark energy to restore his torn-off arm.
Hank later shows up to attack Tricky as he is shooting at Sanford, snatching his rifle away from him before shooting him with it and causing the halo to fall off as the grunt is knocked off the platform. Hank then reaches for the Halo, but another Tricky grunt obtains it first and punches Hank over to where Sanford is before rotating the platform they are standing on so it tilts sideways, causing them to stand upward on what was previously a sideways platform. The two then make their way to the light pillar through which they can escape the dimension, fighting their way through armored Tricky zombies as well as a Tricky Mag Agent.
The two eventually reach the light pillar, where Tricky is now being attacked by his own minions. Hank punches Tricky into the light pillar, resulting in an explosion that kills Tricky where he and Sanford were simply engulfed in it. Hank and Sanford, either unconscious or lifeless, emerge from black voids emanating from the dead body of the skeletal Tricky as the Auditor appears to claim the Halo once more, having played his enemies into killing each other.

===Newgrounds Rumble===
Official Bio:"Krinkels' creation that is the previously main protagonist of the Madness series. Hank has been added to the roster to celebrate Madness day 2007. Hank ended up in Newgrounds somehow with only the goal of getting back to Nevada in mind. His crouch attacks can attack both sides and if he can parry two air attacks, he'll get a free projectile. However, his parries don't stun and he is slow overall."Hank's choice arena. The stage has an elevator used to switch between the two floors, from time to time the Saviour will fire shots at the combatants on the top floor. After a while, an earthquake destroys half the bottom floor. Powerups spawn in the lower floor. 
Ending:"Someone had managed to transport Hank to another world, and organize a fierce ambush to greet his return. This sort of power is only in the hands of few, and Hank has a pretty good guess who it was this time. Someone's surely behind the curtain but if Hank can kill the reality-twisting clown, that's one step closer to an end to all this."
