History
Edit
Drummer Boy is the drummer for the Wild Card themed band Joker Plague. In 2007 he appeared as a contestant on the tv show American Hero. While on the show he became infatuated with fellow contestant Curveball. When she traveled to Egypt to stop the massacre of jokers there, Drummer Boy, followed her and played a crucial role in the fighting.
Wild Card Traits
Edit
Drummer Boy is a joker-ace. He has three sets of arms, which enhance his strength, and a set of drum like membranes in his torso. By beating these membranes in the correct way he can create sound waves which can disorient or injure an opponent and even shatter objects. He’s able, though his drumming, to set up simple harmonic vibrations in any object. Michael is strong enough to dent steel, but not much more than that.
Appearance
Edit
Drummer Boy is an extremely tall joker, standing at 7'6". He has six arms, a sextet of circular tympanic areas of skin on his torso, and a thick neck with open mouths at the side. Michael possesses a lean Olympic swimmer's build.
Personality
Edit
D.B. initially comes across as a spoiled and arrogant rock star. However, over the course of his tenure on American Hero and during the fighting in Egypt he begins to show a softer side, showing affection and friendship towards his teammates and heroism in the face of danger. DB has a soft side for kids which greatly influenced his decision to leave the Committee.
Trivia
Edit
