Larry Davis (Dimension-88618)

**Larry Davis**, otherwise known as **Funnyman**, was a member of Task Force X, who crossed over to New Earth, minutes before Metropolis would have been demolished. Upon arriving in a new universe, he made it his goal to find all of the heroes and kill them, for leaving him to die in his own world. He ended up being caught by Batman, and sent to prison, where he joined Task Force X.

## History

### Leaving Earth Prime

In early February of 2021, Larry saw the members of Joker's Crazy Kooks entering the city he lived in, and knowing the kind of chaos they would bring, tried to get his family to leave the city, but they wouldn't budge. Later in the day, Larry would go out and see members of the Defenders, leaving the city through a portal. This angered him, making him feel like the heroes were abandoning the people of Metropolis. Larry couldn't stand this, and upon hearing that Metropolis would be nuked, he followed the Kooks, and saw the portal they were using to leave this dimension. Once all of the members had gone through, Larry followed them through, and ended up on New Earth.

### Employed by the Joker

Upon arriving in the new dimension, he saw Joker and the Defenders, seconds before their fight began. Larry hid, and watched from afar. At the end of the battle, while the others were distracted, Joker snuck out, to avoid being arrested. Larry noticed this, and followed him. He eventually caught up with the clown, and insisted he wanted to help him. Joker agreed, and employed Larry to eradicate all heroes from this new world, and to start with the Batman.

### Fighting Batman

To lure in the Batman, Funnyman kidnapped a child, Bobby Hill. He held him in City Hall, and waited for Batman to arrive. Eventually, Batman came face to face with Larry. They two duked it out, and Funnyman explained the reason he had for wanting to fight Batman. Funnyman claimed that he came from Earth Prime, and that Batman's team let his family die. Unknownst to Funnyman, the Batman he was actually refering to was Earth Prime's Batman. Despite this, Funnyman wanted revenge, and kept fighting Batman, until he was knocked out.

Batman quickly rescued Bobby and brought him to GCPD, where he ran into Gordon. Gordon yelled at Batman, and told him to leave. Batman tried to explain the situation to Gordon, but he didn't want to hear it. Not only this, but Batman accidentally let Funnyman go. But GCPD found Funnyman lying in a bush near their enterance, and took him in.

### Joining Task Force X

After his run in with the Batman, Larry was sent to Belle Reve, where the worst of the worst are sent to rot. Here, he would meet with Amanda Waller, and join the team known as Task Force X. Waller then brought the group together, and explained the mission to them. She let them know that if the mission was successful, they would get ten years off of their sentences. Everyone agreed to the terms, and Waller escorted them to the jet.

While on the jet, the group, not including Skruu, all chatted with each other about themselves. Funnyman spoke first, talking to Pistachio. He asked them if this was they had commited several crimes, or just one. Pistachio then went on to tell them that he had killed an entire town of people. Funnyman and Birdfella questioned that claim, and Pistachio explained that he is a disguisey, and that is how he killed all of the people he has killed. Funnyman then asked if Pistachio was his actual name, to which Pistachio explained that it was his real name. Birdfella then called out the presence of Donald Trump, and Funnyman asked what crimes he had commited. Trump dodged the question, and Funnyman asked why he was on the team. Trump told them he has a pistol, and then claimed that the gun was haunted by Biden and Obama. Funnyman questioned this, because the Biden and Obama of New Earth are alive, to which Trump explained that he is from a different universe. This made Funnyman excited, because he too was from a different universe. Funnyman tried to press Trump further about this, but Trump was too busy explaining his old friends to the group. During this, Trump brought up Batman, and Funnyman told Trump that he has fought Batman before. Trump finished his story, and Funnyman and the rest of the group all agreed that they didn't believe him.

Trump then brought up the fact that he was the president on his world, and Birdfella freaked out hearing this, since Donald Trump never became president on New Earth. Trump proceeded to claim that back on his world, he was the best president, so Birdfella asked Funnyman if this was true, and Funnyman told him it was not. Pistachio then cut in and asked if he was a big murderer in the other dimensions too, and Funnyman and Trump told him that he wasn't. Just then, Rick Flag came in, and shouted at the group that they would be landing soon.

Upon landing, the team was told they had three hours to complete the mission. After the jet flew away, Funnyman stopped the team, and told them they should look out for any traps that could be hidden, but was cut off my Birdfella (in a Trump disguise), telling the group that he had already looked around, and it was all safe. Birdfella was cut off by an explosion, which sent everyone flying.

After the smoke cleared, Funnyman and the rest of the team saw the dead body of Birdfella, who was still disguised, and they all stared in awe. This silence was broken when Pistachio spoke up and explained it was just Birdfella in a disguise. Flag then spoke through the earpieces and told them to get a move on.

The rest of the team made their way into the city, and started talking about how unfair the mission was, due to Skruu being the only person actually connected with the mission. Just then, they saw that there was a Burger King right near them, so they all made their way towards the resturant. Skruu then exclaimed that he was excited to eat, and Funnyman made fun of his weight. As they entered the store, Skruu worried that there might be enemies inside, but Funnyman reassured him that the only enemy inside is the food. Funnyman had to use the bathroom, so he made his way to the restroom.

When Funnyman came out of the bathroom, he heard that Skruu had shot at the worker, and he yelled at Skruu for doing that. Funnyman then brought the team their food, and they quickly ate, before making their way into the city. On their way, Funnyman asked if there would be any more complications with the mission, due to it's relation with Skruu's backstory. Skruu waved it away, and they kept walking.

### Settling Down

The team eventually found a medical center, where they decided to set up shop for the time being. When they got there, Funnyman pulled Pistachio aside and told him that he didn't trust Skruu, and that they need to form an alliance, just in case Skruu double crosses them. Pistachio agreed, and seconds later, Skruu pulled Funnyman away form Pistachio, and told him that he didn't trust Pistachio. FunnyMan agreed, and the two formed an alliance.

The two then went to find Pistachio, and while they searched, Funnyman questioned what kind of accent Skruu had. They found Pistachio, and he said that he was searching through a closet. Funnyman didn't believe him and went to check the room too. When he walked in, Pistachio followed him in and shut the door behind him. Funnyman asked why he did this, as Pistachio brandished a knife, telling Funnyman that he only wanted to say hi. After this, the team found a room to chill in and wait for Eobard to show up. They all talked about their backstories and Pistachio went to take a quick nap.

After hearing a sound out in the hallway, they went to check the sound out, and were then contacted by Flag, who told them Eobard was at the bar, and they had to make their way over. When they started towards the bar, Funnyman told them that he would stay at the Medical Center, and make sure it stayed safe. The team agreed, and as they went off to the bar, Funnyman slipped out the back door and made his way to downtown Central City.

### Meeting with the Joker

After a couple minutes of walking, he found the building he agreed to meet the Joker in. He entered, and called for his boss, who showed up after a second. He asked Funnyman how the mission was going, and Funnyman told him it was going okay. Joker then asked if Funnyman had killed any of his teammates yet, to which Funnyman explained that he himself didn't kill any of them. This made Joker mad, as he re-explained to Funnyman their mission, to kill every hero and villain on New Earth. Funnyman told Joker he understood, but Joker didn't trust this, so he sang a song to Funnyman, to make sure he remembered who was still number one. At the end of the musical number, Joker told Funnyman to hurry and return before the team grew suspicious of him.

### Facing Skruu

After Skruu's meeting with Eobard was complete, he ran back to the medical center to pick up Funnyman. Skruu arrived at around the same time that Funnyman did, and explained everything that happened to Funnyman (excluding the part about him making a deal with Eobard). Funnyman was shocked, and they made their way towards the Four Seasons.

On their way to the Four Seasons, Funnyman was finally able to convince Skruu to talk about his origin. Skruu explained that he had a minion named Greg, who he was very close with. But Gru and Gloo, they took advantage of him, and used him to create minion technology. This made Skruu angry, and he killed them for it. Funnyman said he undestood why he did it, but maybe killing them was the wrong course of action.

Before Skruu could enter the hotel, Funnyman pulled a gun on him. Upon questioning what he was doing, Funnyman told Skruu he didn't belive his Pistachio story, and he believed that Skruu actually killed him. He based this theory on the fact that he killed Gru and Gloo because they were just "smarter than him". Funnyman told Skruu that he kills anyone who undermines him, which is why he killed Pistachio. Skruu tried to convince him he was incorrect, but Funnyman didn't listen. He told him that he couldn't let Skruu go into the hotel with good heart. Upon hearing this, Skruu attacked Funnyman.

The two fought it out, and Funnyman ended up at the edge of a dock, while Skruu attempted to burn it down. Within a brief moment of hesitation, Funnyman called Skruu a coward, and Skruu ended his life by slicing his throat with his blade gauntlet.
