The original Mooks
were a rather inept mob of bootleggers during the Prohibition. Their bowler-hat wearing boss was known as the Brain. Members of the gang included: Rudy Gomina, a Valentino-look-alike, tango dancer and general lover-boy Slick Tonio, the cowardly but dexterous "card shark" Bulldozer, the strong man, rather dim-witted Thumb, a diminutive, waif-like contorsionist (is he a boy? is he a girl?) Bel Canto, the dour enforcer whose only passion was opera singing Kitty Kream, the pretty but virago-like female member, who ohas an unrequited passion for Rudy The Mooks met in the backroom of a bar on 70th Street owned by Louie. Their arch-enemy was a rival mob led by Snickerin' Slim, a devious gangster afflicted with a nervous snicker. Slim's daughter, "Diatribe", was in love with Rudy. In recent times, a new Mooks gang has surfaced, a loose (but still rather inept) alliance of super-villains. It is led by the mysterious Cybergamotte and identified members so far include Major Villain and the Mecharapax, who fought the Lunatic Legion and Captain Giroflée. |
