Age: 52

Title: The Daredevil Photographer

Bio: A news reporter with a flare for getting serious scoops, Frank West's career would change forever when he decided to cover a zombie outbreak at Willamette Mall, Colorado. After surviving for seventy-two hours in a shop filled with walking corpses and insane mallgoers out for blood, Frank's story helped him rise to fame...only for him to lose it all and resort to being a college professor. He would return to the zombie-slaying business and make a near-professional living from the job, even recovering from becoming a zombie himself.

Special Attacks:

-Snapshot: Frank holds up his camera and snaps a shot, causing the opponent to flinch. It doesn't do any damage, but it can set the opponent up for combos.

-Giant Swing: Frank grabs a zombie by the knees, then swings it around a few times, damaging close-range opponents, before throwing it as a projectile attack.

-Hammer Throw: Frank grabs a zombie from behind, then pushes it forward to claw and bite the opponent.

-Object Throw: Frank throws a random piece of food at the opponent, such items including...

Champagne Bottle

Banana Creme Pie

Coconut

Banana Peel

Watermelon

Sub Sandwich

Turkey

-Tools of Survival: Frank pulls out a random, hand-crafted weapon depending on what button is used.

LIGHT: Takes a paddlesaw and thrusts with it repeatedly to push the opponent away.

MEDI: Takes a spiked baseball bat and swings to wallbounce the opponent.

HEAVY: Swings down with the Defiler, creating a shockwave that can knock opponents into the air.

Throws

FORWARD: Frank West jabs the opponent in the gut, then grabs them in a half-nelson and hip-drops to smash them into the ground.

BACKWARD: Frank lifts the opponent over his head, spins them around, then hops in the air slams their head into the ground.

Super Moves:

-Blue Light Special: Frank pulls out a shopping cart with chainsaws strapped to the front, then pushes it forward, damaging the opponent as it pushes them to the other side of the stage.

-Slushie Special: Frank dons an armor made from Slushie Machines and calls up a whirlwind of cold that draws the opponent in and throws them spiraling into the air. While they're still airborne, Frank fires several ice shards at them until they're completely encased in ice. The tornado of cold ceases and the frozen opponent falls to the ground where Frank is winding up his fist. When the opponent is in range, Frank punches the opponent so hard that the ice surrounding them shatters and they fly to the other side of the stage.

FATALITIES:

-Shopping Spree: Frank pulls out a blade-studded shopping cart and kicks it right at the opponent, impaling them on the knives protruding from its front. The opponent screams as they're stabbed, then notices a gasoline tank with a fuse. The cart explodes, sending pieces of the opponent up in the air. Frank then pulls a baseball bat just as the opponent's head comes down, winds up, then slugs it hard enough to splatter their skull.

-Front Cover: Frank pulls out a baseball bat laden with nails and stakes, then winds up and slugs the opponent across the face, knocking their jaw loose (and smashing any headwear). As the opponent goes limp, Frank catches them before they fall, props them up to stand with him, then puts his camera at arm's length and snaps a picture of him with them like they're buddies. When the flash clears, a magazine spirals into the screen with Frank's picture on the front cover.

Intro: Frank snaps a few shots with his camera, then nods in satisfaction and whips out a bloody baseball bat.

Outro: Frank takes one final shot with his camera, then checks his watch and walks off to the side...only to run the other direction with zombies chasing him.

Theme Song: Frank West's Theme from "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3"

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: After something of a hard time ahead, Frank West was thrown a wild card. Zombies had struck again, but another anomaly opened floodgates to infinite possibilities (literally). A portal through time and space sat in the middle of the zombie-infested supercenter. Sensing the scoop of a lifetime, Frank grabbed a shopping cart, jammed it with as many materials as he could get his hands on and ran right into it. The world of Death Battle awaited and would have dangers aplenty, but Frank wasn't too worried. He'd covered wars, after all.

Rival Cutscene:

(In a zombie-infested mall, Frank West takes a few quick shots on his camera, getting as clear a picture as he can for his hopeful return back home.)

Frank: Oh yeah. This'll turn out great, buuut I think I've had my fun. Gotta find my way outta here...

(Frank turns to look behind him, only to see a few stray zombies barring his path to his trusted shopping cart.)

Frank: Great...Hey! Bozo!

(Two zombies turn to face Frank only for him to grab their heads and smash them together. Taking a running start, he then leaps atop the shopping cart's contents, the cart speeding across the floor from the force and leaving the zombies in the dust. After putting considerable distance between him and the zombies, he gets off and pushes it along at normal speed.)

Frank: Hoo! What a ride!

(Out of the corner of his eye, he spies a familiar face looking like he's trying to make a quick getaway.)

Frank: Well, look what we have here. (pulls out camera) One quick shot!

(A flash of light and the man freezes, deflating as if defeated. It's the survivor of Raccoon City, Leon Kennedy)

Frank: Perfect! I might even be willing to forget our fight if this photo turns out great.

Leon: (groan) I guess it was only a matter of time before I ran into you...

Frank: Ah, don't look so down. You see all the crazy characters in here? I'm having the time of my life!

Leon: You think this is all a game? There are undead freaks everywhere! If there was a way all these guys got in here, odds are there's a way out. I can't let the undead find that-

Frank: Oh, the zombies? I deal with 'em as they come.

(On cue, a zombie makes a go for Frank only for Frank to pull a bat from his shopping cart and slug the undead creature across the face. It falls, dead, to the ground. He then whips out his camera, snaps a shot, and Leon clearly doesn't approve.)

Leon: You're still going at this? There's more to life-(Frank turns and snaps another pic of Leon, causing him to flinch.) WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT?!

Frank: When you're wanting a top-story, you gotta get as much detail as you can.

Leon: Did you really need a snapshot of me telling you to piss off?

Frank: Maybe.

Leon: Okay, dumbass, that's it!

(Leon pulls a gun on Frank who recoils and backs away, hands up, then reaches behind him and throws something at Leon. It's a six-pack of beer and, as soon as Leon shoots it, a spray of booze coats him in amber liquid and foam. He shakes off as much as he can, but before he can take aim again, Frank has crossed the distance and thumped him in the chest with his foot, sending him staggering backward.)

Frank: I'm on a roll and I'll be damned if you stop me.

Leon: (holsters his gun, pulls out his knife) So be it.

(Fade to black.)

Ending: With as much footage as he got on the multiverse, and combo-ing with his defeating the Mastermind of Death Battle, Frank's livelihood and reputation was back on top where he wanted it. He became an icon of the marketing and sponsorship business and, serving him even further was how he even managed to beat fellow reporters like Peter Parker and Clark Kent to a HUGE punch. From talkshows to movie deals and even talks of partnering with the likes of Mayor Haggar or billionaires Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, Frank's skyrocketing reputation showed no signs of slowing down. Not this time.
