Powers and Abilities
Though he’s unusually short, Knickknack is very stocky and muscular. He might very well be the strongest members of the Death-Throws. Unlike the others he seems comfortable with engaging opponents in close combat rather than at a range.
His specialities are juggling bladed objects. This usually means a random assortment of cleavers, butcher’s knives, swords, axes, sabres, machetes, hatchets, etc.. He’s also adept at juggling unlikely everyday objects such as shoes, eggs, lead pipes, screwdrivers and tomatoes.
Knickknack has the strongest track record of all Death-Throws. Though it may just have been a matter of being lucky with the dice, I have given him slightly superior stats, skills and HPs to represent this.
History
See the main Death-Throws article.
Description
The Death-Throws juggle almost all the time, even when discussing with somebody else.
Personality
Knickknack is brash, aggressive and confident. He seems to see himself as a sort of evil swashbuckler – though it may just be the moustache.
Quotes
(After catching and throwing away Hawkeye’s arrow) “Here, archer – I’ll let you practice catching too. Here’s a chainsaw !”
(Juggling six swords) “Nah, we don’t want to kill you… we just wanna play !”
