Character Analysis: Boomstick

                                                                         Background


The Co-host of Death battle, along with the character Wizard. Unlike Wiz, Boomstick is a bit of a redneck. He lives in a shack in the middle of nowhere, hunts his own food, and is fairly uncultured. He was raised by a single mother, whom he claimed died in one episode, but who was later shown to be alive and well.

  • DB ep 81 7:25 Boomstick is Boomstick’s real name

  • DB ep 26 7:00 Boomstick catches squirrels for supper

  • DB ep 99 5:40 Boomstick lives in a shack 

  • DB ep 103 17:30 Boomstick says he lives in a trailer in the middle of nowhere

  • DB ep 85 11:11 Boomstick says his mom died to a ghost in a barn


One of his big hang-ups is the status of his father, who apparently ran out on him and his mom when he was a child. Causing him to cycle through several stepdads. It’s later heavily implied that his father is Sarge from the web series Red vs Blue.


He also has an ex-wife who left him for another man, and who he regularly describes as evil, terrible, ETC. He supposedly has to pay her alimony checks.

  • DB ep 8 5:30 First mention of  Boomstick’s ex-wife 

  • DB ep 22 2:06 Boomstick again mentions being married

  • Db ep 39 3:44 Boomstick calls his ex-wife “death”

  • DB ep 78 4:47 Boomstick mentions wanting to outrun his ex-wife

  • DB ep 113 6:50 Boomstick gives alimony checks to his ex-wife

  • DB ep 125 3:05 Boomstick’s wife apparently left him for another man 

Finally, Boomstick has at least one child, and likely more, though only a daughter has ever been confirmed to exist.


Which leads to one of Boomstick’s defining characteristics.  Due to all his stress and his fractured family life, he copes by drinking Beer…. aLot. He’s even married a lamp while drunk and gotten tattoos while on drunken benders.

  • DB ep 50 2:46 Boomstick got drunk and married a lamp

  • DB ep 71 7:01 Boomstick has a tattoo of a beer bottle and shotguns on his ass from a  drunken bender 


Despite often acting like Wiz is an annoyance, he clearly enjoys his company. Having apparently known Wiz since Middle school and going on numerous trips and vacations with him since.

  • DB ep 48 9:25 Boomstick and Wiz go on trips together.

  • Db ep 68 1:31 Boomstick forgot to wear pants when he first met Wiz.

  • DB ep 85 1:42 It’s stated Wiz and Boomstick have known each other since middle school.

  • DB ep 101 9:09 Wiz and Boom go to bars together


Armor

Mjolnir armor

Mjolnir Armor from the Halo series, which Boomstick was shown to be wearing during the episode, Meta vs Carolina.

  • DB ep 64 1:59 Wiz and Boomstick both have Mjolnir armor


The Mjolnir armor is a combat exoskeleton designed to be used specifically by the Spartan IIs in the halo universe. The original models of the suit can kill those without the heightened reflexes and physical strength The armor's shell is composed of a multilayer alloy and is covered in a refractive coating. The suit contains a gel-filled layer that regulates temperature and can reactively change its density. The inner skinsuit is made of a moisture-absorbing synthetic material linked to a control computer and the user's neural interface. 


The original mark 4 variation of the Armor increases strength by 2x and reaction speed by 5x.


Arsenal

Gun leg

A shotgun Boomstick has attached to his right leg. 

  • DB ep 75 9:19 Boomstick mentions he has a gun leg

  • DB ep 146 Boomstick shoots the watermelon with his shotgun

  • DB ep 108 4:11 Boomstick has a device called the windbreaker. It makes gas that can immobilize people 


Omnitrix

The Omnitrix from the series Ben 10. The Omnitrix’s most basic function is to attach itself to a user and allow them to transform into one of a set of ten aliens at any given time (though in total the Omnitrix contains the genetic material of at least 1,900,012 aliens).

  • DB EP 109 4:43 Boomstick has a fully functional Omnitrix


Should the user be helpless and about to die, the Omnitrix possesses a fail-safe that will automatically transform them without restrictions into whatever alien he needs to survive. The Omnitrix can also scan new aliens and receive their DNA, allowing the user to transform into them. The original Omnitrix had a self-destruct mode that, if allowed to build up energy for several days, would be powerful enough to destroy the entire universe.

Spidermonkey

  • An alien that is a spider and monkey combination allowing him to shoot webbing from his tail and climb any surface.

  • A beetle-like alien that can eat any material and then convert it into to energy and fire it in a powerful green laser beam.

Clockwork

  • Ben’s resident time-manipulating alien, despite being physically slow and weak, he can control time by slowing it down to increase his relative speed, playback events that have just happened in the vicinity, hit people with “time rays” that have a few time-related effects (aging people to dust, sending them back in time or different timelines, or restoring those erased from time), and time travel itself.

Jury Rigg

Walkatrout

  • Ben’s worst alien, yes even worse than the alien literally called ‘The Worst.’ He’s just a fish. That’s it. He can do normal fish things. He has legs to walk, I guess, so there’s that.

Pesky Dust

  • A fairy-like alien that can fly and produce a special dust that will put opponents to sleep, allowing him to enter their dreams and manipulate them.

Kickin Hawk

  • Ben’s best hand-to-hand fighter, he has impressive strength and speed and is a master at combat with his legs (which are strong enough to generate shockwaves), though he has claws on his hands as well.

Alien X

  • A Celestialsapien from the Forge of Creation outside the Multiverse, Alien X is nigh-omnipotent.

  • He can warp reality at his whim on a universal scale, move things with telekinesis, brainwash others, reverse time, duplicate himself thousands of times, fly at massively faster than light speeds, destroy planets with punches, regenerate injuries, survive the destruction of the universe casually (he wasn’t even aware it was happening until it was pointed out), and according to Kevin, “[Celestialsapiens] can just blink, and you’d be gone.”

  • That said, they're slow to act. In order to do anything you must convince two consciousnesses inside the alien to agree on the action. Something that can take billions of years.


Odachi sword

A five-foot-long mystic weapon from Rise of the TMNT.  The real beauty of this weapon is its Portal Power Jutsu. With enough concentration, skill, and sometimes just a ton of luck, the weapon can slash the air in front of him and create a portal, though where exactly it will lead is a little unspecific at times. 

  • DB ep 122 4:26 Boomstick has Leonardo’s odachi sword, which can open portals 


Ak-47

An AK-47 automatic weapon.


Sword of protection


The iconic weapon from She-ra. Aside from being a double-bladed cutting weapon, the Sword’s main purpose is to grant the power of  She-Ra. Its magical transformation beams can also affect other animals, giving them horns and wings as well, like when a stray transformation bolt hit a random lizard (S1E4 - Flowers for She-Ra).



Even just functioning only as a sword alone, the Sword of Protection possesses incredible sharpness, able to cut a grappling hook gifted to He-Man from the Sorceress of  Castle Grayskull that He-Man himself said was unbreakable (S1E18 - Horde Prime Takes a Holiday), and incredible toughness, able to resist being broken despite being used to pull the Moon, reversing its movement during an eclipse (S1E28 - Bow’s Farewell). 


Its most notable ability allows the sword to transform into other weapons or tools that roughly maintain the sword’s mass (though not always), including:

  • lasso (S1E14 - Friendship, S1E15 - He Ain’t Heavy)

  • shield (S1E18 - Horde Prime Takes a Holiday, S1E7 - In the Shadows of Mystacor)

  • space helmet (S1E18 - Horde Prime Takes a Holiday)

  • parachute (S1E18 - Horde Prime Takes a Holiday)

  • pole (S1E20 - Three Courageous Hearts)

  • bolas (S1E27 - The Eldritch Mist)

  • grappling hook (S1E28 - Bow’s Farewell)

  • tennis racket (S1E32 - Friends Are Where You Find Them)

  • boomerang (S1E43 - Welcome Back, Kowl)

  • glider (S1E48 - Birds of a Feather)

  • net (S1E49 - For Want of a Horse)

  • ladder (S1E51 - My Friend, My Enemy)

  • magnet (S1E58 - Black Snow)

  • baseball bat (S2E8 - The Time Transformer)

  • lightning rod (S2E14 - Romeo and Glimmer)

  • discus (S2E22 - The Inspector)

  • staff (S2E1 - The Frozen Forest)

  • morningstar (S2E1 - The Frozen Forest)

  • grapple gun (S2E2 - Ties That Bind)

  • coffee mug (S2E1 - The Frozen Forest)


The sword possesses other magical abilities, including:

  • Deflection of magical attacks (S1E5 - Battle for Bright Moon, S1E6 - Duel at Devlin, S1E11 - The Peril of Whispering Woods, S1E14 - Friendship, S1E21 - The Stone in the Sword)

  • Absorption and redirection of energy (S1E39 - Into the Dark Dimension)

  • Cutting through lightning and dispelling it (S1E62 - Magicats)

  • Firing magical energy beams (S1E10 - The Prisoners of Beast Island, S1E4 - Flowers for She-Ra) as well as freezing ice beams (S1E10 - The Prisoners of Beast Island)

  • Weakening a spell of possession on Adora’s mind (S1E2 - Beast Island)

  • Immune to and reflects shadow magic (S1E14 - Friendship)



Speed force Soda

A soda filled with cosmic kinetic energy, similar to the speed force used by Wally West. People using the Drink can move at MFTL speeds.

  • DB ep 132 4:09 Wiz can lace beer with cosmic kinetic energy 

  • DB ep 132 20:22 Boomstick’s speed fore drink kicks in, and he runs to Jupiter in seconds


Dust

Dust from Rwby. Dust is the physical embodiment of nature (taking form in crystals). Boomstick has Fire and Ice, to make explosions of Fire and Ice respectively.



Magic cape


A magic cape from Zelda that makes the user invisible and seemingly intangible.

  • DB ep 146 3:31 Boomstick has the invisible cloak from Zelda, while Wiz has the fire rod

Boomstick has numerous vehicles. Including cars, a giant hotdog called the Boomstick mobile, a dune buggy, tanks and a Truck.


Misc

Abilities


Ghostly wail

The ghostly wail from Danny Phantom. It creates an omnidirectional wave of ecto energy that causes damage to any opponents and objects in the vicinity. 

  • DB ep 128 3:38 Boomstick has the ghostly wail from Danny phantom

  • DB ep 138 9:37 Boomstick actually has a knack for the drunken first when drunk 


99 bottles

A metaphysical being based on the “stands” found in Jojo. Boomstick’s stand 99 bottles, can turn anything it touches into Beer.

  • DB ep 151 5:13 Boomstick gets a stand from the golden arrow, called 99 bottles. It can turn things into beer, which Boomstick does to Wiz. Though he turns him back to normal with Wiz’s invention off-screen 

Stands move according to the will and desires of the user but can act autonomously in order to preserve the life of the user (and themselves). Such as when Star Platinum autonomously caught a bullet to keep it from hitting Jotaro.

https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Jojos-Bizarre-Adventure-Color-chapter-13-page-10.html 

  • Stands are spiritual/mental, and therefore cannot normally be affected by anything other than other Stands or abilities that can affect things astrally.

  • Stands and their user typically share the same damage. If one is harmed so is the other.

  • A Stand’s energy is proportional to the range of the operator. The closer they are to their user, the stronger they become.


Food Quirk

Boomstick has a genetic superpower, AKA quirk, from My hero academia. It allows him to summon different types of food.

  • DB ep 119 3:00 Boomstick has a quirk that can summon food

They were traveling between galaxies, so they were moving pretty fast. 21.9 billion times FTL

  • The stand Silver chariot can intercept Hanged Man https://mangadex.org/chapter/2605/15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnfOK6gEFdY&t=191s 1511 SOL
