Im Gravely Disappointed. Again You Have Forced Me to Unleash My Dogs of War

Context

Lord Humungus was 1 of the more notable characters in 1982 movie Mad Max: Road Warrior. He was the leader of a gang of murderous bandits.

The pic was big among geeks since the early on 1980s didn't exactly have a deluge of genre movies. Furthermore, Humungus' amazing visuals and theatrics were… something to behold. He thus fabricated a lasting impression.

Powers and Abilities

The Humungus was a strong fighter, but his virtually impressive traits were his charisma and drive. Despite the poor resource bachelor in the Wasteland and the violent tendencies of the savages there, the Lord Humungus managed to gather a small army with over 25 motorcycles, upwards to 25 cars, and virtually 100 men.

His presence was so essential to keeping them together every bit a cohesive unit that the gang pretty much scattered immediately upon the Humungus's expiry.

Gear

Southward&W M29 with 29cm butt and scope. Considering of the scarcity of armament, the Humungus only got the revolver out under special circumstances. It was unremarkably kept in a wooden instance lined with ruddy velvet and holding the gun, what piddling ammo the Humungus had and a few of Humungus's mementos including a medal and an quondam photo.
Since the ammo for his revolver was at a loftier premium in the Wasteland, Humungus used spears as his primary ranged weapon. These brusque spears had three large blades on the business end.
"Control car". The large customized vehicle was a go-cart from hell, a little larger than a van. It had no cabin; the driver sat in a high chair centered on the frame. In that location were large roller bars on the forepart allowing the Humungus to strap a pair of human bodies (sometimes all the same alive) to the front in a vertical position.
The rig also had a loudspeaker arrangement for the Humungus'southward speeches.

History

Cypher is known about the Humungus prior to his siege on the refinery in The Route Warrior. He was unable to alienation the defenses of the refinery but was wearing the inhabitants downward through a combination of violence and psychological warfare.

During the terminal boxing to have the oil from the refinery, Humungus and the bulk of his gang chased the decoy tanker driven by Mad Max along the highways of the wasteland. Humungus was momentarily delayed in the chase when his car was doused in napalm. Once he got himself and his rig sorted out, he kicked on the nitro to catch upwards with the tanker.

Unbeknownst to him, Max had turned the tanker around. The tanker crested the hill as Humungus's rig was racing up the slope. Humungus was unable to maneuver his rig while on a nitro burn so the ii vehicles collided head-on, utterly destroying Humungus and his car.

Clarification

The Humungus has a powerful, toned build, which was visually enhanced by his exhibitionist attire. His wear consisted of a light leather harness on his body, leather briefs with a studded jock strap, and studded leather wristbands, all in black with the studs being chromed metal. Around Humungus's cervix was a thick black leather neck brace.

His face was covered past a scuffed metallic hockey goalie'southward mask with leather straps holding information technology in place. Equally one reviewer summed it up, the Humungus looked similar the fetish porn version of Jason Voorhees. The combination of the neck brace and Humungus's hair existence nothing more than a few long wisps over a lumpy baldheaded attic propose a caput injury in the past.

Personality

While not quite an eloquent speaker, the Humungus was an elegant orator, adapting an nigh-conversational fashion equally he offered people the chance to surrender everything they had rather than having him kill them. When he became annoyed with resistance from his victims, he would spend most of the night before a siege berating them in extended rants describing the horror he would soon wreak upon them.

This was usually punctuated by the crucifixition and torture of whatever captives that the Humungus's gang had. He did non always speak in the 3rd person, but he would skid into it during his more than aggrieved tirades.

The Humungus was quick to recognize issues and take opportunities equally they arose. He maintained discipline among his men using a savvy combination of charisma and classic Alpha male physical domination (even once referring to the ill-behaved Wez as a puppy). The Humungus allowed his men moments of frivolity simply would rapidly reign them in to the serious matters at manus.

When Wez's swain was killed, the Humungus put Wez in a asphyxiate hold to keep Wez from doing something rash and gently talked him down while knocking him out. The second time Wez disobeyed orders, the Humungus simply put a leash on Wez and chained Wez to his vehicle, forcing Wez to miss the offset role of the fight. The lesson taught, the Humungus unchained his domestic dog of war and let him join the battle.

Quotes

"Attack, my vermin, assail !"

"I am gravely disappointed. Once again you have made me unleash my dogs of war."

"Repose ! No more than games !"

(Talking Wez out his rage while putting him in a sleeper hold) "Be still, my canis familiaris of state of war. I understand your pain. We've all lost someone we love. But we practice it my style !"

Humungus'south idea of negotiation: "There has been also much violence, too much pain. None here are without sin. But I have an honorable compromise. Merely walk abroad. Give me the pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. But walk away; I volition give you lot safe passage in the wasteland. Just walk away and there will exist an end to the horror."

"You have defied me ! Yous volition know the vengeance of the Lord Humungus !"

Demand an entertaining leader for a bunch of thugs? Use the Lord Humungus !

For some sick reason, I'm very tempted to make the Humungus a reborn Jason Todd.
