In this week’s installment, The Bad Egg:
Subject: The Bad Egg
Real Name: Corky Trocious
Other Aliases: None
Place of Birth: Port Oakes
Marital Status: Single
Height: 6′
Weight: 300 lbs
Known Powers: The Bad Egg possesses reflexes akin to a world class gymnast. Through mystic training as well as a martial arts and wrestling background his hide is tough enough to deflect small arms fire. He has used his mystic strength to be able to leap through the air at incredible distances. I have seen him use some sort of dark energy from another dimension to heal allies and harm his enemies in a variety of horrific ways, which he seemed to take no pleasure in either way. I have not seen him out of costume but it has been suggested that he has not aged since 1970.
Case Log: The Bad Egg is the chief enforcer of the 7thEgg Dynasty. He is the other trusted leader in the organization with The Good Egg. Much like the The Good Egg, The Bad Egg also gets to have direct audience with The Great Egg. Secret assignments from The Great Egg are a specialty of The Bad Egg. It is my opinion that The Bad Egg knows the ultimate goals of The 7th Egg Dynasty. My investigations have shown that he has been a member of the group as far back as the 1970s as a member of the 6th Egg dynasty. Capture of this individual would be nigh impossible, and fruitless in my opinion as he would never divulge the secret knowledge to us.
As previously noted about The Good Egg, The Bad Egg was also a Japanese professional wrestler in the late 1980s. This is where the world at large learned of The Bad Egg. Even though Interpol was aware of Corky Trocius as early as 1968. He was associated with the theft of several mystic artifacts across Croatoa, but no prosecutable evidence ever came to light. Several witnesses simply disappeared.
In 1977 The Bad Egg was present at the defeat of the 6th Great Egg (Count Vesuvious) and swore vengeance upon the young mage Doctor Tectonic for his role in the end of the 6th Egg Dynasty. The Eggs began wrestling in Japan, as reported. The duo were quite popular and entertaining, with the serious Bad Egg and jovial Good Egg. Through my investigation of records and in ring footage, I have concluded that the Eggs did indeed have powers when they were acting as professional wrestlers. I detailed their egress from wrestling due to the fan outrage at their horrific behavior once the Great Egg joined them in the ring. It is still my belief that this was all planned by The Great Egg.
In the mid 1990s to the mid 2000s, all three resurfaced as members of a the highly successful touring band, Yolk. Their final tour was as a co-head lining act with the eclectic group, Mung Mind. My sources have now confirmed that Mr. Milk of the Mung Mind wanted to stop the tour due to certain ritualistic magics that the Great Egg had begun invoking before each concert date.
My interactions with the subject have been almost non-existent, as he spends a great deal of his time in counsel with Gran Tomago or The Good Egg. When not with them he is out on his own performing tasks assigned to him by Gran Tomago.
The other members of the 7th Egg Dynasty do not question orders from The Bad Egg. His word is scripture to them. The only exception to this I have seen was a recent exchange between Van Roy and Muerto Diablo. Van was doubting the logic in stealing a palate of hot dogs. Muerto looked at Van Roy and I suspect their was some form of telepathic communication between the two as, Van Roy’s mind must have changed. I report this because he screamed, “We must secure the supplies!” Then he promptly bled speed from me and ran to the teleporter. I must remain very cautious around this seasoned villain.
