Powers and Abilities
Wildboy Willie McCone is a highly skilled killer. He’s most probably a former special forces soldier, presumably discharged due to his mental state. As he’s familiar with amphibious operations, USMC Recon is a possibility.
History
Wildboy Willie McCone worked as a hired killer for the renegade general responsible for X’s powers. He was particularly deadly.
It was he who shot X with the virus that could make his blood break down. He also organised the Arcadia street gangs into a super-gang called the Covert Nightmares. He armed them and plunged Arcadia in a civil war by having them attack the police.
He was shot by surprise by Gamble during the general’s confrontation with X.
McCone was cryptically described as “one of the big stars, maybe the biggest on the circuit”. That was related to his prowess as a killer. Perhaps he’s part of some kind of organisation of serial killers.
Description
Wildboy’s built is that of an expert bodybuilder, and he could probably compete for the Mister Universe stuff.
He has large tattoos of coiled snakes around both forearms. His lower lip and both earlobes are pierced.
Personality
Psychotic, relaxed tough guy and casual killer. He has only contempt for all players below his own considerable level of expertise, and no regard for collateral damage.
McCone has a strong tendency to kill every civilian he meets, often for little reason.
Quotes
“Dang ! I hate when servicemen have to die. You did them quick ?”
DC Universe History
Go ahead. He’s almost certainly a part of the secret society of serial killers following the Corinthian that was seen in Sandman.
