## History

Orphaned at a young age, Peter Parker was just your average nerdy kid who was frequently picked on, but he soon grew up as a fiercely intelligent boy as he entered high school. But then, everything changed one day when Peter received a bite from a radioactive spider when on a field trip. It wasn't long after when Peter discovered he gained enhanced strength, speed, agility, spider-like senses, and the ability to crawl on walls. At first, he decided to use his powers for his own self-interest. But after getting cheated out of money and letting a burglar escape, Peter soon discovered that the same burglar killed his beloved Uncle Ben. His uncle's death changed Peter's view of his powers and he decided to use them under his uncle's lesson that, with great power, there must also come great responsibility. Becoming Spider-Man, Peter serves as New York City's protector, while still going through his everyday life, notably working as a photographer for the Daily Bugle.

Like his nickname, "The Surgeon of Death", implies, the ex-warlord of the sea's story is one born out of horror and death. Trafalgar Law lived in the once-flourishing country of Flevance in the North Blue with his parents and younger sister, Lami. Tragedy struck, and his parents were killed in front of him, his sister burned along with his parents' hospital, and everyone he knew died of the Amber Lead Syndrome. The World Government also slaughtered some of the people in the country to keep the plague at bay. As the sole survivor, he crawled his way out of the city among the dead bodies of his countrymen. However, death was only the beginning for poor Law as he went to the new world to forge a new path while battling the disease that could take his life anytime. Law eventually found his way into the web of the infamous Donquixote Doflamingo, in which he met his brother, Donquixote Corazon. Law and Corazon formed a strong bond, and the latter got him the Devil Fruit that cured him of his disease. But their happiness was cut short when Doflamingo killed Corazon, and the only joy Trafalgar sought after the eradication of his countrymen came to a halt. Now possessing the power of the Ope Ope no Mi Devil Fruit, Law seeks revenge against Doflamingo for his crimes.

Programmed to be proficient in all things combat, 2B was generally reticent to most, being devoted to the higher ups and believing that machines were incapable of human thinking. Over time however, 2B's cold exterior would quickly warm up to her partner's bright attitude and curiosity towards the machines' tendency to develop emotion. And soon, the two would prove to be a formidable duo, able to take on countless machines, evolved lifeforms, and even fellow battle androids. Whether she sticks to her mission or turns against her own programming, 2B will obliterate all that stands in her way.

Domino was the only test subject to survive, but her mutant "luck" ability was deemed a failure at meeting the project's goals. Her biological mother broke her out of the project and left her with Father Rudolpho Boschelli in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Chicago. Domino eventually left the Church and became a mercenary. One of her first jobs was to stop "Operation: Jericho" which was a remote-controlled warbot project. Domino wrecked the robot, but in the process fried the mind of the soldier controlling it. She was then assigned to guard the hard working and innovative Dr. Milo Thurman, whose analytical ability made him too dangerous for the government to let roam free. Somehow, Domino and Thurman fell in love and were married, but the two separated after a raid on the facility by AIM members, with Milo believing Domino had been killed during the altercation. These experiences would shape Domino into a special kind of mercenary, allowing her to lead teams from the Six Pack to the X-Force.

## History

Bendy is a cartoon character created by Henry Stein as the mascot of his and his friend Joey Drew's animation studio, Joey Drew Studios. He ended up being a massive success and starred in many cartoons over the course of decades. Henry eventually left the studio to spend more time with his wife, while Joey's ambitions would grow bigger and bigger. Desiring to bring his characters to life, he worked with the Gent Corporation to create the Ink Machine, which used ink to create living beings. Unfortunately, the attempt was a horrendous failure, as the newly created "Ink Bendy" lacked a soul. Years later, after the studio shut down due to investigations of employees being used in experiments with the Ink Machine, an old and resentful Joey would steal the machine and use it to create an alternate reality, which started as a recreation of his studio but eventually became an inky hellscape inhabited by Bendy and several other failed cartoon recreations and abominations. So any who wander into the inky world should escape as fast as possible, lest they fall victim to Bendy and his friends.

At a young age, the man known as Akuma once trained alongside his brother Gouken under the martial arts master Goutetsu in the ways of the highly dangerous Ansatsuken.

Instead he was turned into a Dhampir, or half-human, half-vampire creature, who grew up on the streets of London until he was adopted by Vampire Slayer, Jamal Afari who taught the young Eric everything he knew about fighting, hunting, and killing vampires, and taught Eric how to control his powers. Eventually Eric would leave Jamal to become a fully-fledged Vampire Slayer, taking the name, Blade, now ready to take on any undead creatures of the night who dare to feast on the blood of the living.

—Kenshiro
**Kenshiro** is the main protagonist of the *Fist of the North Star* series. He appeared in the fifth episode of DBX, Saitama VS Kenshiro, where he fought against Saitama and Genos from the *One Punch Man* series.

## History

Kenshiro was originally an orphan and a descendant of the Hokuto Sōke bloodline, growing up in a harsh and bleak world. To defend himself, he was trained by his adoptive father Ryuken, the 63rd successor of the 1,800-year-old fighting style known as Hokuto Shinken, alongside his other adoptive brothers. This would eventually lead up to a fight to who would be Ryuken's successor, and despite how young and naive he was compared to the others, Kenshiro was an ultimately promising student and successfully earned the title of Ryuken's successor. A nuclear war then suddenly broke out and created a nuclear fallout, Ryuken having died in the aftermath. Kenshiro ended up leaving with his fiancée Yuria to find a future for themselves in this new post-apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, a rival of Kenshiro named Shin decided to take Yuria for himself, abducting her. After all of this and more, Kenshiro set out into the cruel, post-apocalyptic world in search of revenge while also helping the oppressed people fight against their new, tyrannical overlords. As he did so, he would dedicate his life to being the master that the Hokuto Shinken deserved.

**Jango Fett** is an antagonist from the *Star Wars* series. He appeared in the second episode of DBX, Master Chief VS Jango Fett, where he fought against Master Chief from the *Halo* series.

## History

Hailing from the planet Concord Dawn, Jango Fett was a foundling of the Mandalorians who made a name for himself by becoming a bounty hunter, quickly becoming one of the best, if not the best in the galaxy. One day, the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus recruited Jango to serve as the genetic foundation of an army bred on the extragalactic world of Kamino. His DNA spawned millions of clone troopers who shared his face, voice, and were trained to become soldiers. He was then was told to offer said army to the galaxy's Republic to aid them in their battle against the evil Separatists. As part of his payment, Jango had an unaltered clone for himself named Boba, whom he raised as his son. Eventually, Jango's connection to the Sith was discovered and he fought against the Jedi on Geonosis, meeting his end as he was beheaded by Mace Windu. His legacy would survive not only through the clone troopers that formed the backbone of the Republic military, but also Boba, who became a feared and respected bounty hunter like his father before him.
