History
The man known as Jimbo Valentine was once your typical cyborg superhero from a post-apocalyptic future. That all changed during a fateful Digicycle ride through Connecticut in August of 2008. Banished Pantheon were lying in wait, and threw him from his bike. He fought valiantly, but his rifle-arms, which employed the hatred and sorrow of cyberspace denizens were of little use against the unholy fiends. As he drew close to death, taunts ringing in his ears, he miraculously realized how to solve the Rubik's Cube of Destiny he had carried for over 13 years. In doing so, he released a Kheldian warrior known as the Mudkip King. Wasting little time, Jimbo agreed to merge. With the foes vanquished, he returned to Paragon City to hone his new abilities.
Affiliations
Personality
He's...rather odd. You kinda have to meet him to really understand how weird he is.
Powers
Rifle-Arms
Jimbo, being half-robot, has guns embedded in his forearms. Prior to August of 2008, Jimbo's rifle-arms, instead of firing bullets or energy-based charges, employed a semi-tangible form of bitterness drawn from the bowels of cyberspace. After merging with the Mudkip King, his arms fired Kheldian energy blasts.
Luminosity
He glows to become more resilient. He can also morph into a Shiny Swampert that employs techniques like the Atomic Elbow and the Plasma Piledriver. Disturbingly, he sounds like Randy Savage in this form.
Abilities
MacGyvering
With the right everyday items, Jimbo can build little devices or use simple scientific principles to help him win the day. For instance, he can create a crude fuse for an explosive using lighter fluid and shoelaces. To aid in this, he often carries duct tape, string, paperclips, rubber bands, a Swiss Army knife, a cigarette lighter, a crowbar, Vaseline, a laser pen, a few tubes of Mighty Putty, and a radioactive isotope.
Wait, what was that last one?
...tubes of Mighty Putty.
Equipment
Various Things
The B& Hammer is nothing more than an ordinary sledgehammer, but it does help when Jimbo needs to do some damage to an enemy strong against energy attacks. The Sands of Mu are also somewhat useful in this respect, with the added bonus of being the signature move of Hokuto Shinken...well, minus the part where heads explode. As for the Blackwand, it's just the hate conduits from old parts of Jim's rifle-arms set in a rod. You know, the usual kind of "dark magic". He also carries an axe that's fairly effective against the undead for some reason.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Like any Kheldian hero, he is vulnerable against Quantum Array weaponry, and has described it as being like a swift kick to your soul's testes.
Trivia
- He has the ability to communicate telepathically, but it only works underwater and isn't used often enough to warrant a mention in this article.
