Furious George and Raging Woody are reasonably good physical fighters that are experts at working together. Their expertise seems to be some form of acrobatic wrestling. They seem capable enough to hold their own against a gang of superhumans for a short while, but they’ll fold rather quickly against more powerful metahumans, such as the Savage Dragon. They prefer melee combat, but will sometimes resort to the use of firearms, although they are by no means crack shots. They are pretty dumb, but they have got confidence in spades.

They have not displayed any powers, but they should be metahumans of some sort. Otherwise, it seems very unlikely that they would have gained membership in the Vicious Circle, which does discriminate.

History

Nothing is known about the origin of Furious George and Raging Woody, forming the duo called the Rumble Brothers, except that they seem to be brothers. They first showed during the gang wars over the leadership of the Vicious Circle after the death of the Overlord. The Rumble Brothers charged head-first into a bar filled with Vicious Circle members and demanded that they take over the criminal business. This was found unacceptable and a super-powered bar fight commenced. The brothers must have lost as they did not become the new crime lords, but seemingly they joined the growing ranks of the Vicious Circle themselves. This suggests that the Rumbling Brothers must have had a reasonably good reputation in the criminal underworld, and quite likely superpowers, since the Vicious Circle does not accept nobodies (Savage Dragon #24).

Shortly thereafter, the brothers were seen in a Vicious Circle hideout as Officer Dragon raided the place. The hideout villains were all readily defeated and jailed (Savage Dragon #26).

The brothers next showed up on the alternate world the Savage Dragon has been living on since he was sent there after killing the time- traveling villain known as the DarkLord (Savage Dragon #75). The brothers were planning an ambush in a villain hideout, as the Savage Dragon raided the place, but they managed to gun each other down as the Dragon dodged their attack. This might have ended their lives and criminal careers, but they have seemingly survived worse and might resurface anew (Savage Dragon #122).

Description

Furious George is a rather muscular dark male with a monkey face, short-cut black hair with white stripes, and a black jumpsuit with a vertical green line on the right side. His head and hands are not covered. The arms seem to be padded and he wears some sort of (utility) belt and heavy combat boots.

Raging Woody is a slender, blond male with a long fringe falling over to the right side. He wears a colorful yellow jumpsuit, which looks like orange lightning bolts on both left and right sides. His head is not covered, but he wears yellow gloves. His lower arms are covered by green, metallic bracers, as are his thighs and fingers. He wears an orange metal band around his neck, as well as green boots.

Both Furious George and Raging Woody, who look like circus artists or wrestlers, are always seen grinning badly, while sprouting one- liners, jumping against an enemy or gunning for them.

Personality

The Rumble Brothers, basing their villain names on a bloody joke and a derogatory slang word, together forming a group that looks like a bad wrestling team, are utterly confident in their abilities and will charge head-first into any conflict. They are either too dumb or exceptionally confident in that they, together, will charge against hordes of superhumans intent on killing them. They tend to taunt their foes by simple and bad one-liners. It will come as a big surprise if one of them is defeated.

They do make strategic miscalculations ; most likely they grossly overestimate their own abilities or can’t fathom their opponents’ power levels. When they are fighting a group of foes they will spend HPs like water to ensure success. Their confidence and willingness to fight is probably well liked in the Vicious Circle.

They have very high ambitions and even tried to take over the Vicious Circle personally. Once their fellow villains wouldn’t know of it, the Brothers, somehow still alive, instead became regular members of the Circle, and have also been seen working as mercenaries since.
