Sweet Tooth

Name: Marcus "Needles" Kane

Age: 42

Race: Human

Title: Champion of Twisted Metal

Bio: Originally a happy man with a family and a good life as an ice cream vendor, Marcus Kane harbored a secret deep within his psyche. A darker, more murderous part lived in his mind and fought, tooth and nail, to gain control until it finally erased Marcus from his mind. Creating a mask and donning a head of fire, the newly-born Needles Kane would begin his streak of mass murder, refitting his ice cream truck into the infamous death machine known as Sweet Tooth. The vehicle itself would be Needles' key to victory in the infamous Twisted Metal Tournament.

Special Attacks:

-Molotov Cocktail: Needles pulls out a bottle and hurls it in an arc. On touching the ground, it will break open and create a patch of fire that will burn anyone who steps on it. If it hits the opponent however, it will set them on fire, stunning them as they try to put it out.

-Cleaver: Needles performs an overhead chop that hits the ground hard enough to create sparks. Can neutralize projectiles that it hits.

-Open Season: Needles pulls a double-barrel shotgun and fires a scattershot at the opponent. Loses effectiveness the further away the opponent is.

-Dynamite Kick: Needles throws a haymaker that plants a pack of dynamite on the opponent. Not long after a direct hit, the pack will explode and send the opponent into the air.

-Light 'em Up: Needles uses one of three fire-based attacks.

*Hot Foot: Breathes fire at the opponent's feet, able to get below standard blocks.

*Fire Breath: Breathes a short-range stream of fire in a straight line.

*Torch 'Em!: Emits a blast of fire from his head that catches airborne opponents

Throws

FORWARD: Needles grabs the opponent's neck with both hands, then drops them to their knees and throttles them, laughing in pleasure before discarding them.

BACKWARD: Needles turns and slams the opponent down on the ground, then kicks them, hard, in their side.

Super Moves

-Sweet Murder: Needles roars, then advances forward, swinging his machete four times in the process. He will then stop, pull out a shotgun and fire twice before hurling a dynamite pack at the opponent, which will explode on impact with them or the ground.

-You're Roadkill!: Needles jumps off to the side and comes back in, driving the Sweet Tooth to plow over the opponent, machine guns blazing and missiles firing all over the place. It will finish with the Clown Head flying off via a rocket engine and detonating in a powerful explosion as Sweet Tooth drives off, Needles reappearing where it exits the screen.

-Sweet-Bot: Getting in his van, Needles transforms the Sweet Tooth into a towering robot, which unloads a series of machine gun fire and missiles. It then jumps into the air, going high up via a jetpack, then raises its fists and drops, slamming them down on the opponent hard enough to create a powerful shockwave. The robot will turn back into a van as Needles gets out.

FATALITIES:

-Watch You Bleed: Needles advances on the opponent, then seizes them by the shoulder and draws his crude machete. He raises the blade up and presses it to the opponent's neck, then drags it across, releasing a spurt of blood. He pulls it free, then swings it in a vertical chop, leaving the machete in their skull as they fall over, dead.

-Red Paintjob: Needles hops into his truck, the Sweet Tooth, and charges at the opponent, engine roaring. Machine guns blaze and shred the opponent into little more than a skeleton and Needles sharply turns as he approaches. The opponent's bloody form is plastered onto the side of the ice cream truck. The truck grinds to a halt and Needles steps out to admire his handiwork, sighing contently at a job well done.

Intro: Needles stomps into the arena with his heavy boots, then takes a lighter, sticks the flame to his head, and the whole scalp goes up as he tosses it away and readies his machete.

Outro: Needles inspects his machete in an amused way, then steps into his van, the Sweet Tooth, revs up the engine, then takes off with the camera panning to his demonic clown-mask.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: Trapped in his own daughter's coffin, the fate of Needles Kane looked grim. When he seemed to resign from his fate, however, fate threw him a bone and opened a portal just beneath him. Falling right into it, he found himself in the world of Death Battle. As he surveyed his surroundings, Needles' eyes fell upon his trusted battle vehicle, the Sweet Tooth. Laughing maliciously, he got behind the wheel, slammed the gas, and took off for his deadly specialty...

Rival Cutscene:

(Outside an empty city, the Sweet Tooth roars down a road entering the city. Heavy metal music blares from inside the modified ice-cream van, as the camera focuses on Sweet Tooth in the driver's seat. He leans forward, single eye squinting behind his clown mask.)

Sweet Tooth: Well, I'll be damned. It's the Joker! Wishes really do come true, because I've been itching for a little payback!

(Needles shifts gears and slams on the gas pedal, the van roaring as it picks up speed. He shoots right past the gangly-built Clown Prince of Crime, who shouts at him.)

Sweet Tooth: Well, damn. I missed. Let's try again!

(Hitting the brakes and working the steering wheel, the death-machine whirls around, makes a sharp turn, then roars after the Joker, who's still chasing after it.)

Sweet Tooth: Hehehehehe...You really are crazy, scrawny! I'm gonna turn you into roadkill!

(The ice cream truck's engine roars as it gets closer and closer to the Joker, but the Clown Prince sidesteps, then hops in through the passenger-side door.)

Joker: Now, tell me, do you have Rocky Road? Oh! Needles! How've ya been my fellow killer clown?

Sweet Tooth: SHUDDUP!

(Sweet Tooth grabs Joker by the back of the head, then slams his head into the dashboard. He appears ultimately unfazed by the attack.)

Joker: Ugh, is that how you treat ALL your customers? Let me try to lighten things up a little...

(Joker drives his elbow into Sweet Tooth's side, loosening his grip, then grabs him by the hand, the joybuzzer shocking him.)

Joker: You're obviously not well enough. I'll drive from now on!

(Joker grabs the wheel and veers it sharply to the side. Before Sweet Tooth can wrestle them back under control, the ice cream truck crashes, headlong, into a nearby building. Joker jumps out mere seconds beforehand, but Sweet Tooth winds up with an airbag in his face. Joker rolls across the ground on impact, then shakily picks himself up.)

Joker: Um...is it too late to say "I'm sorry"?

(Sweet Tooth rolls out the door of his truck, then glowers at the Joker, reaches into the truck, and pulls out his cruel machete.)

Sweet Tooth: Your tricks'll only take you so far, punk. (holds up machete) You won't be laughin' if I drive THIS through your skull.

Joker: (sighs disappointedly) Ah, Needles, you're an embarrassment to the name of clown, you know that? What's the point of taking up the motif if you're not gonna make people laugh?

Sweet Tooth: They ain't my concern. Long as I'M the one laughin', I'm satisfied.

Joker: (clicks tongue) I was honestly expecting a better partner in this show, but...I guess I'd better make do. (beckons) Come at me, Sweet Tooth! I left ya laughing before, so let's see if the same trick works twice!

Sweet Tooth: Hehehehe, don't push your luck!

(Fade to black.)

Ending: The pits of hell, where the demonic Calypso was said to reside, were now riddled with body parts, splattered blood and entrails, and slain demons. All having fallen to the same victim, which just happened to be roaring down the fiery corridors. Needles Kane was laughing like a maniac as his newly-modified Sweet Tooth mowed down demons either under tire, or by the newly-fitted guns, including plasma cannons, or blasts from the BFG 9000 or Unmaker. His sights were set on Calypso and, this time, he'd make him pay for crossing him!
