From Madness Combat Wiki

Hank, as he appears in Madness Combat 5

Hank J. Wimbleton is the main protagonist of the Madness Combat Series. He has appeared in every Madness except for Madness Combat 8: Inundation, in which his appearance was no more than a cameo. In the animations Hank has died 6 times, and been revived again, by an unknown medium known as the Higher Powers.

Appereances

Madness Combat

This is the first official episode of Madness Combat. In it, Hank physically looks like an ordinary Madness character. His first ever victim is the Boom-Box man, who is listening to a remix of the Chicken Dance. This disruption causes a riot and many people enter the scene to try to subdue Hank. He goes on to kill 32 people (including 2 zombies) and even fights Jesus. Hank emerges victorious over the opposition and, alone, dances to the Chicken Dance remix (still playing in the background). It should be noted that this episode is the first one in which he doesn't die. (He was seen dead in Madness Combat 8, however.)

Madness Combat 2: Redeemer

Hank is on a mission to kill the Sheriff with the aid of the "Sheriff Tracker". Throughout the episode Hank is followed by Jesus, who is apparently under the employment of the Sheriff, or in another way appointed as the Sheriff's high bodyguard. At one point Tricky joins Jesus in an attack against Hank, however, without supernatural intervention he is quickly dispatched. Though the Sheriff keeps trying to put distance between himself and Hank, he is eventually cornered in his office. Hank aims his dual-wielded 9mm guns at the Sheriff's head and is about to fire when Jesus comes up behind Hank and shoots him in the back of the head. The episode ends as Hank lies dead and the Sheriff and Jesus stand unscathed. Hank kills 80 people in this episode.

Madness Combat 3: Avenger

Hank is "given a second chance" after being shot in the head, which is now wrapped in a bandage. He continues his hunt for the Sheriff, and we find definite evidence that the Sheriff and Jesus are working together. When killing several AAHW members, Hank gets caught on a security camera being watched by the Sheriff and Jesus. This causes the Sheriff to panic and activate the Improbability Drive, which causes improbable and insane events to occur. Hank falls into an abyss that ends up actually being the Nevada streets. In the background, objects are seen falling from the sky, including a whale. In this warped version of Nevada, Hank fights and kills the Sun, thus immediately causing the sky to turn from day to perpetual night. Tricky comes shortly thereafter to fight Hank, but he, too, was done away with. Hank impaled Tricky with the Warning Sign on the side of a giant marshmallow (an homage to Marshmallow Madness). After Hank leaves the scene, a close-up of Tricky's body reveals that he was shocked with electricity and revived as a zombie. Hank makes his way back into the complex he was originally in and once again kills the zombified Tricky. All seems won when Hank corners the Sheriff, like in Redeemer. Jesus runs up behind Hank and stabs him through the back with his 316 sword. Not willing to fail twice, Hank uses the sword (still protruding through his body) to stab and kill the Sheriff, then shoots both Jesus and the Sheriff. After this split-second move, everyone falls dead to the ground and the episode ends.

Madness Combat 4: Apotheosis

Now with bandages covering the stab wound on his chest. This is the episode where the audience finally find out Hank J. Wimbleton's name, as he was only previously known as "Our Hero." Tricky's name is revealed as well (through the alias of DJTrickyM in Club M). Hank takes his famous sword from an AAHW member in this episode. The very first 1337 Agent ever is seen in this episode, but is dispatched just as easily as the rest of the AAHW. At the end of the episode, Hank kills everyone at Club M except Tricky twice. Then Jesus comes in with a 1337 zombie, who he kills again. Then he gets shot several times by Jesus, and, in what seem to his dying moments, blows himself and Jesus up with a dynamite belt.

Madness Combat 5: Depredation

In this episode Hank's body and a lot of his head is covered in bandages. He wears a black suit, a bandana and red sunglasses. Of his madness lines on his face, His Horazontal line is longer than normal. He fights Jesus and several zombie 1337 agents until Tricky comes and mixes everything up. The conflict between Jesus and Hank is ended when Hank accidently shoots Jesus in an attempt to kill Tricky, where after Tricky rips of the top of Jesus' head. At the end, Hank kills Tricky by slicing his brain cap off, but is revived instantly and kills Hank by also ripping his head off and smashing it against the floor till his jaw is completely destroyed, with the text "OMFG! YOU DO NOT KILL CLOWN! CLOWN KILLS YOU!" on screen, a twist on the Soviet Russia joke.

Madness Combat 6: Antipathy

Hank looks mostly the same as the last episode, but he has zombie teeth sticking out, and a metal plate for a jaw due to his beheading at the end of MC5 along with a metal plate on his chest due to being impaled on the warning sign. He chases and fights Tricky (and not Jesus) throughout this installment. He kills several 1337 agents and normal AAHW members until he reaches the room where the improbability drive is located. As he reaches to deactivate it, a train drives through the room and he fights along it until it crashes (thus heavily damaging Hank after the crash) and he is forced to fight more people until he finally reaches Tricky. He manages to put an axe through Tricky's head and shoots him several times with a P90, but his death registers an "invalid" and he comes back as a giant fiery demon version of himself. Posters during this episode claim that Hank is now wanted for "Distorting reality, felony evasion, public urination, and crime."

Madness Combat 7: Consternation

Revived, Hank looks similar to his last appearance, except that he has his coat zipped up, a bandana around his mouth, fingerless gloves, and wears red goggles, increasing his menacing look. He spends most of the episode running from this ghost Tricky. He also kills Mag Agent: Torture and for the first time encounters a Higher Rank agent. At the end of the episode, Jesus pierces and shoots him in the head, killing him and Tricky.

Madness Combat 8: Inundation

In this episode Jesus is the main protagonist and is trying to end the madness in Nevada, with the auditor raising the difficulty level of the 'advanced training' to the level 'OH SHI-'. Jesus spends a large part of the episode tracking down the auditor. He then finds a control room with incomplete grunt bodies, possibly clones of Hank.

Hank's original body is only used as a cameo in the scene in which the reality is restored. Hank's body lies dead through the entire episode.

Madness Combat 9: Aggregation

Hank is revived with a new look; he is twice his original size, has no lines on his face, a robotic looking head, and has an alien-like arm with a claw as a hand but also may have been made by the Magnification process. Since his Magnification in the Mag machine, he became just like a Mag Agent, and Deimos also lowered his intelligence (seen on the computer panel). This has not lowered his fighting skill, as he killed the Mag Agent V3. He is last seen about to fight the Auditor, who has also increased in size due to sucking in several dead agents. During the magnification process, Hank's strength is shown as 43, his agility as 50, and his intelligence as 3.

Powers and Abilities

While Hanks powers and abilities changed from episode to episode, they were nearly always the same. Hank is an excellent hand to hand combatant who can defeat dozens of enemies in close combat, even if they are using fire arms. He is also a good marksman, which could be best seen in Madness Combat 5: Depredation where he shot a group of zombies in less then a few seconds while he was jumping. His reflexes are quick enough to allow him do dodge or even deflect bullets and melee attacks with ease. Hank has shown great strength in most episodes, especially in Madness Combat 6: Antipathy, where he easily ripped an agents head from his shoulders and used a machine gun and a Battle Axe with one hand. While Hanks resistance to damage don’t seems to be superior to the other characters from Madness Combat, he is still able to fight while being severely damaged, as seen in Madness Combat 4: Apotheosis. In Madness Combat 9: Aggregation, Hank was magnified. In this form, his strength was high enough so that he could successfully brawl with a Mag-Agent.

Trivia

  • Hank has used more different weapons than any other character in Madness Combat. They include: different fire arms and melee weapons, severed heads, a warning sign, a table, his bare hands and even a soda vending machine. He also stabbed people with fire arms on some occassions.
  • Hank was the first character to be raped by Dad.
  • Madness Combat 6 was the first part were it was explicitely shown how he got resurrected. In the parts before, it could be possible that he survived getting shot in the head or getting stabbed, but it is impossible that he survived the explosion of Madness Combat 4. Note that in the opening of Madness Combat 3 it was said that 'he was given a second chance', meaning that he might actually have been dead. Therefore it is likely that he has been revived, yet through unknown means.
  • It is possible that Hank can slow the flow of time for short periods of time. This could simply be a special effect, but out of all of the protagonist and antagonist, the "bullet time" effect only occurs when the focus is on Hank.
