Billy Bob

**Billy Bob** (real name Ricky Greens) is a minor antagonist featured in The Heart Commandos' Ebenezer De Rosa Arc. He is an agent of Ebenezer De Rosa who works as a deadly warlock by summoning zombies from the ground by doing a gun motion with his hand. He originates from the 1992 Sega Genesis game, Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude!, which in turn was based on his creator, the late real-life surfer, Ric Green.

## Story

Prior to the beginning of the series, Billy Bob was originally Ricky Greens, a laid-back, 17-year old surfer dude who surfed some of the biggest waves in the Californian beach shores in history and was hugely popular in the early-to-mid 90s, hence his nickame "Greendog", but at the start of the millenium, his career as a surfer came to an end when he got into a very, very heated argument with his ex-girlfriend Nathalie "Bambi" Johnson that resulted in a terrible fight between them, which got Bambi killed in the process. The footage was caught on-camera and Ricky was arrested for aggravating assault and murder, sentencing him to 11 years in prison with no chance of a parole.

After he was released, Ricky tried to make a comeback to the surfing world, but his reputation preceeded, and because he is broken, he lives for the rest of his life as a stinky hobo in the streets of California. At least he would live like this forever if Ebenezer De Rosa came to the rescue and not only offer him money that Ricky desperately wants, but will also taking care of him, which Ricky accepts. After this, Ricky changes his identity from a laid-back dude into a self-decrepating, intelligent maniac and creates a nickname to use for his change, Billy Bob, named after a notorious outlaw robber in the Wild West. He also learned the ability to rise the dead from the grave by reading a copy of the Necronomicon that De Rosa kept in his book shelf.

He makes his debut in the two-part episode "Gordy The Couragous Pig", where he acts as the main catalyst for Gordy III getting wanted by a slaughterhouse that wanted to kill him. He managed to open the decayed slaughterhouse by having his undead minions work for it and find that darn pig, because as it turns out, he somehow owns a medallion from the Aztec times and Billy Bob wanted that item so he can control anyone he wanted and kill The Heart Commandos to furfill his master's wish. While succeeded in doing so, the medallion disables his control on his undead, who turns against him and eat him alive, with Gordy III being saved by Melony in a nick of time before he was a hot dog meat. As it turns out, this medallion did indeed control everyone, including the undead, but when is a warlock like Billy Bob, the undead will do the opposite instead and disolve into dust.

The reason for it was find out by an ancient manuscript recovered from the ruins of a temple by a Wakinaskgitch descendant. 1420 years ago, there was an evil warlock that managed to conquer an entire Aztec city with his army of the undead, and the forgesmith decided to put a curse on him by creating a medallion using a green flames from the depths of hell to trick the warlock into wearing it.

## Abilities

As a warlock, Billy Bob can summon the undead rising from the ground by using magic manifested in his right hand by doing a gun motion. These decaying corpses acts pretty much like a post-Romero-type zombie, eating flesh and brains while waking slowly, but also act like slaves from the Haitian folklore as well, as they follow their summoner's wishes on what they do. Back in his Greendog days, Billy Bob was a highly-skille surfer.

## Trivia

* In addition of his real name named after Ric Green, Greendog was so popular that he got his own board game called "The Legend of the Surfer Dude, Greendog!" that was super popular with kids and teens alike. This is a reference to a real-life 80's board game, Surf Trip, and ironically enough, was very obscure.
