## Personality

Bean is a rather goofy and eccentric being, prone to mood swings and extreme reactions. He seems to take little seriously and his logic is often dubious, though he's capable of moments of surprising clarity and intelligence. He tends to make irreverent, nonsensical or borderline inappropriate comments, often indifferent to any offense he may cause. His moods and reactions are extremely unpredictable; while generally an eager being, he is capable of being friendly and easy-going as easily as he can be indignant and angry. While he may be crazy, he's still potentially dangerous. It also seems that he feigns at least some of his apparent insanity in order to throw off his enemies, such as in his fight with Espio, hiding a surprisingly devious side.

Bean has a habit of assigning others complicated nicknames in lieu of their proper names. He has an obsession with shiny objects as well as great love for bombs and explosions of all kinds. In spite of all his crimes, Bean has shown a noble side, suggesting his bounty hunter career may simply be a case of being led down the wrong path.

## Powers and Abilities

Bean, as his moniker implies, is an explosion expert who primarily attacks with bombs. Bean has the ability to summon black, round bombs from nowhere in a puff of purple smoke at will, though there is no telling where he gets them from, but he seems to be able to produce them whenever needed, similar to how Amy pulls out her Piko Hammer. His explosives and bombs however, are weak, do not usually do much harm, and can backfire if they explode too close up to Bean, though they are strong enough to knock someone off their feet and create burns.

As seen during the fight with the Kraken, he seems to be able to summon bombs of different sizes; this, however, can also backfire if the bomb is too big for him to lift. Probably his most frightening ability is that he also has control over all manner of explosives and can cause them to self-detonate on will alone. In addition, Bean is very agile, rivaling the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog.

In combat, Bean is a flurry and strong fighter, capable of going up against experienced fighters like Sonic and Knuckles. His combat style revolves around heavy utilization of his bombs, either throwing or kicking them into opponent. Apart from the use of bombs, Bean's secondary weapon is his beak which he can use to deliver a rapid flurry of jabs to his opponents.

Bean also has the ability to harness chaos energy from the Chaos Emeralds to bolster his innate abilities, allowing him to enter Hyper Mode.

Bean and his friend Bark formed an alliance with Nack the Weasel, with the trio taking the name of the Team Hooligans. At some point they apparently competed with the Team Babylon and Team Rose over one of the Sol Emeralds.

## Notes & Trivia

* It is highly possible that Bean is a kleptomaniac, due to his fascination of shiny objects, and urge to go after them. An example of this is when he and Bark stole Captain Metal's Sol Emerald, which Bean went crazy over.
