ABC Warriors - Mongrol
It feels like a while since we had an ABC Warriors model on the blog, so let us dive in with Mongrol.
History
Mongrol is a character from the 2000 AD strips ABC Warriors and Nemesis the Warlock. The creature that would become Mongrol was an officer in the Robo-Paratroopers regiment during the Volgan War. Virtually destroyed on the campaign, his remains were found and reassembled using various pieces of scrap by a woman named Lara, the now brain-damaged and hulking creature that resulted in becoming Mongrol.
The brute had limited intellect but was fiercely loyal to Lara, and he was heartbroken when the Volgans murdered her. Hammerstein inducted Mongrol into the ABC Warriors and aided them in ending the Volgan War and subsequently bringing order to Mars. Mongrol formed an attachment to the molten creature known as The Mess, which he treated as a pet.
He was given to violent impulses but tried to control them and act like a hero in hopes of meeting Lara again when he died after Deadlock told him that "only good robots go to Heaven."
Mongrol's activities after the Warriors broke up are unknown. Still, centuries later, when Nemesis the Warlock decided to reform the Warriors, he found Mongrol working as a wrestler on the free robot world of Mekka, under the name 'the Gawk'. Mongrol rejoined the Warriors and has remained with them ever since. His already low intellect gradually deteriorated over time, leaving him eventually without even the power of speech and effectively the 'pet' of the female Warrior Morrigun.
Recently, though, another head injury has resulted in the reversal of the damage, which initially scrambled Mongrol's mind, restoring his original persona from before his accident. However, he still retains his memories of his life as Mongrol.
