Michael Chain

Michael Chain is a gang leader and bodybuilder, who competes as an F-Zero pilot in the tournaments. He makes his debut in the series in F-Zero X.
== Biography ==
Michael is the head of the racing clan known as the Bloody Chain, whose membership up until a few years ago exceeded 10,000 members. He enters the F-ZERO to showcase his skills and to represent the entire crew, but his efforts failed.
Michael initially joined the F-ZERO circuit to represent his gang. His lack of wins has caused a lot of members to leave and the organization's membership has drastically decreased. If things continue the way they do, it's rumored the group could dissolve in the next several years.
== F-Zero GP Legend ==
Michael Chain's anime counterpart makes an appearance in the anime F-Zero: GP Legend voiced by Tomoyuki Shimura in the Japanese version, while in the American dub he is voiced by Dan Green.
His first cameo appearance was in Lap 7, The Trap of Michael Chain. A rich man named Truman was responsible as he conspires with the Bloody Chain to capture F-Zero pilots that win many races. Michael met Rick Wheeler, Lucy Liberty, Super Arrow and Zukk, and Mrs. Arrow as they escaped from their laser gate prison that was deactivated when Truman got to his senses. He wielded a chain whip to intimidate his opponents as well as using his bulk muscle. Fortunately, Super Arrow sent out his owl while Rick fought Michael and the rest of the Bloody Chain.
At times, the Wild Boar was seen as cameos, even in Lap 8, The Secret Within, as the machine crashed while attempting to cross a gap in a Mute City course.
He made another appearance in Lap 37, Grim Reaper Jack Levin, he terrorized the city once more. Only this time, he's been waiting for the arrival of the Death Reaper to give him the edge on ruling over the megacity. Soon enough, he encountered Jack Levin wanting to convince him to join by his side again. His friends were shocked, though Jody Summer knew his dark past all too well; Jack was known as the Death Reaper, a talented gangbanger working for the Bloody Chain and his skills were topnotch, hence why Michael recruited him. Sure enough, Jack did, and wreaked havoc across the city, even Baba was involved at times. When Rick and Jody arrived, Jack eventually re-convinced himself since he didn't want his friends to be in danger; however, since his comrades deal with their dark pasts together, he changed his mind. He and Mike were involved in a street race till they reached an unfinished bridge and Rick was in a scrimmage with Baba. Though Jody came to Jack's side since she was the one who convinced Jack to join the Platoon rather than be imprisoned. She saved his life, though both Baba and Michael made the slip again.

==Ikran's F-Zero timeline==
He was first seen during Falcon's Followers, as the elitist was driving on the Big Blue highway en route to Lightning in pursuit of Black Shadow. He was ambushed by the Bloody Chain, and Mike bashed onto the machine. He accepted the challenge and Mike encouraged his men on the assault! Tinsel and the Duelists took an alternate route, then Yugi unloaded the Catapult Turtle and Kuriboh, even Multiplied as it was launched! They rained onto the Boars, excepting Mike's, as his cronies scampered away from Falcon as he was reaching Lightning. The "shooting stars" turned out to be Kuriboh, blowing the machines into pieces!
He was seen again in Cold as Ice, as he and the gang parked onto Truman's lawn. Tinsel noticed the commotion and she pleaded Dream to hide. After noticing Truman has betrayed and trapped Rick, Lucy and the Arrows at his basement, she wanted Dream to call things off, and she called for help from the Feds. She noticed Mike who was pledging Truman as an honorary member for carrying the bargain, and promised he and Dream shall never be harmed; it was implied it was Mike who inherited the mansion and riches to Truman! Tinsel heard they can be after Falcon and be an unstoppable gang in Mute City and soon the universe. She then confronted the group, even his lethal metal chain by loading Kuriboh, to which the Bloody Chain were terrified remembering the incident! Tinsel Multiplied the Monster which blew up all the Boars and made Mike's turn over and clobber onto him!! The Feds arrested them since.
He wasn't seen again, though he was mentioned by Rick before the Aeropolis Dragon Slopes race, as he said to Tinsel that Jack can be like the Death Reaper again; he was once Mike's second-hand-man, till he was taken in by Jody and worked for the Task Force. While Tinsel was away at Tortiz 3 for training, Rick and Jody dealt with Mike who escaped from prison, as well as Baba. Never wanting to repeat his past, Jack fought off Mike on an incomplete overpass, then the Feds arrested him once more. Tinsel was surely growing weary of him....
