Fang

Fang

Fang is one of the Mutates.

History

Fang’s original name and background are unknown to us as yet. He was, however, recruited by Sevarius for the Mutate project; unlike the other Mutates, he liked his new form, because of his abilities of flight and producing electric blasts as a weapon, and has no desire to be changed back into a human. ("Metamorphosis")

A loud-mouthed bully, Fang had no interest in protecting the homeless people of the Labyrinth when the other Mutates took up that role of looking after them. Fang went as far as to bully Al, a harmless old man. Instead, he and a couple of human supporters decided to take over the Labyrinth with the aid of some high-tech laser guns that he found in a remote part of the underground complex (presumably past property of Cyberbiotics); they even intimidated Claw into helping them for a while. Fang was quickly overthrown by Hudson and the Trio, however, and imprisoned. ("Kingdom")

He did not remain in captivity long, however. Not long afterwards, Demona and Thailog broke him out, hoping to use him as an ally in their war with the gargoyles. Fang fought alongside them, but was defeated and re-imprisoned by Talon. ("The Reckoning")

Future

Sevarius will break him out not long afterwards, using him as an ally for his own schemes. Soon after that, the Redemption Squad will recruit him as a member, if no doubt, a very difficult member. Fang and Yama will be on particularly poor terms with each other.
