Peter Boomer

**Peter Boomer** is the son of Patrick Boomer & Mary Boomer. He is one of the antagonists in Sodor Then and Now. He is also the father of Adam Norman.

## Biography

Peter was born on March 19th, 1939. His mother passed away shortly after he was born, leaving him with his slowly deteriorating father, Patrick Boomer. Patrick grew more and more insane as time went on and Peter knew this. However, he did little to stop his father and intended to help his father through whatever he needed. Patrick scarcely opened up to his son until he was older, and when he finally was, he revealed his true intentions. He intended to bring harm to all those that had hurt him and win some glory for himself. Peter knew that his father's rage was through the roof and that the plan would likely fail, but Peter wanted to do anything to make his father happy again. Peter went through with the plan to destroy the North Western Railway and take Henry back, but appeared to have a lot of the brains behind the operation.

In 1953, he traveled to Sodor to gather information about Sir Bertram Hatt and Mr. Hugh. He overheard a conversation they had about their sons and potential retirement.

In 1956, he assisted his father in building Diesel 10, a prototype for the Class 42 warship diesels. He was heavily responsible for the groundwork of his illegal claw mechanism and designed it to be extremely large and dangerous.

In 1957, he and his father purchased three class 08 shunters from a private workshop owner. He then traveled to Sodor to oversee Diesel's trial in secret. He spied on Diesel and the others relatively frequently. He remained there until Diesel was sent away. During his time on Sodor, he met his soon-to-be wife and fell in love. The two would get married the following year.

In 1959, he and his wife had their first child named Adam together. But this was also when his father intended to complete his plan. Patrick had Peter return to Sodor and oversee the diesels' trials. Peter handed out instructions to the diesels on the night of the attack and then traveled with Diesel 10 to pursue Gordon and the Fat Controller. When the Fat Controller escaped via Sir Handel, Peter hijacked Rusty and chased Sir Handel down the line. Reaching Skarloey Station, Peter was knocked out of the cab by Duncan and Mr. Hugh. Once Sir Handel and the controllers were gone, he regained consciousness and shot the crew members dead. He then began to make his escape. He returned home via bus before his wife, gathered his things as fast as he could, and left. He managed to escape via an airplane near Harold's airfield on the west side of Sodor, and flew off. His current location, status, and fate are unknown.

## Personality

Peter's true intentions are unknown, but it is implied that he is a lot more level-headed than his father. He appears to be extremely cunning and more intelligent than his father as well. He maintains a calm demeanor throughout his appearances and even attempts to calm his father down in certain situations. He appears to be the brains behind the operation and even gives out orders of his own in order to best accomplish his father's goals. His seemingly cold, monotone attitude arguably makes him even more dangerous than his rash, outlandish father.

## Trivia

* Peter's white jacket is actually an old style Star Wars Stormtrooper torso piece
* Peter Boomer was originally going to have a normal flesh color and his face was actually that of a Rebel Soldier as seen in the opening scene of *A New Hope*
* Peter was originally supposed to be dressed in all white, which included a white helmet to go alongside. This was somewhat of a reference to the actual P.T. Boomer, only that Boomer was dressed in all black.
* Peter being revealed to be Adam Norman's father wasn't initially planned for the finale, and was intended to be revealed much later on. However, GTSH felt it necessary to give a more proper introduction to Adam Norman rather than to cheesily incorporate the "*I am Your Father*" twist.
* The current Peter Boomer design was actually originally used for a character named Tim, a character scrapped very early on in development. However, the name still remains somewhat in tact as it is Peter's middle name.
* Peter Boomer's design was finalized far before Patrick's was. Peter's design was designed in mid 2017 and Patrick's was finalized in early 2018.
* Peter is stated to be one of the main antagonists in the series as a whole, but it is unknown when he will return, if he does at all.
