While the exact backstory of the characters are mostly unknown, bits of information do exist. They were born in 1971, except for Charlie who was born in 1972, and we know that at some point, the friends met and formed their friend group, that is sometimes referred to as “The Four.” We also know that the friends usually hang out in Dungeon Comics, which is Mike’s hideout, and is also known as the “Secret Lair.” For the most part, it seems that they lived a normal childhood life, until they met Rod.

On December 27, 1982, J witnessed Charlie getting kidnapped by Rod, after he was tricked into approaching Rod's Ice Cream Truck to try some ice cream. Charlie was frozen and locked in a cage, and it was up to J to rescue him from being turned into ice cream, like the previous victims. J, using his confidence and wit, ultimately saved Charlie, and Charlie rewarded J with a blender he stole from Rod.

On December 28, 1982, J witnessed Lis, who is Charlie’s brother, getting kidnapped by rod, after she too was fooled by Rod. J, just like before, must save her. He ultimately saved Lis, however, she refused to jump as she was too scared that she might hurt herself. Later, Mike noticed Lis stuck in the van, and alerted Charlie. Mike ran out to try and save her, and give her the perfume with the love note, but in vain, threw it after Rod got away in time. The note revealed that Mike secretly had a crush on Lis all along.

### Mike gets Kidnapped (Ice Scream 3)

On January 3, 1983, J walked out of his front door to notice Mike walking up to Rod, but not because he was asking for ice cream. Instead, Mike was confronting Rod to force him to free Lis. However, he failed, and Rod fattened him up and kidnapped him. Just like before, J must save him. However, J has to save his other two friends, who were not trapped by Rod, but ran away and were hiding. Once J gets all of his four friends together, in the van, on their way back home, they celebrate their victory, but Rod overhears them, and freezes all of them, except for J, who hid behind his friends.
