Major Story Arcs
Drawing On Your Nightmares
Charlie and his brother, Bill, were introduced within this short story. Hired by a mobster known as Salvatore, they were sent to collect a debt owed by Spider. However; when he and his brother arrived at Norton’s Pub they were misdirected by Spider himself, who told them that Goon was the man they were looking for. Thus began a brawl between the Goon and the Mud Brothers that resulted in a friendship between both brothers and the Goon. Deciding to stick around with the Goon (much due to his local influence) Charlie and his brother betrayed Salvatore and beat him up in the name of the Goon.
The Goon Volume Three
Alongside his brother, Bill, he aided the Goon in fighting waves and waves of zombies from the Zombie Priests undead army. Due to betrayal from one of Goon’s pals, Merle, both Charlie and Bill were attacked by allies of the Zombie Priest, resulting in the near death of Charlie and the death of Bill. This event caused Charlie’s mind to snap, resulting in him carrying around a stump that looks slightly like the head of his brother and talking to it like it’s actually his brother. Despite his fragile mental state, he still comes to the aid of The Goon when called upon.
The Goon: Occasion of Revenge
Spending his days in the swamps near Lonely Street, Charlie is called upon by Franky to help the Goon face his new foes, all led by The Arab. Charlie’s brute strength aids in the fight against these new adversaries, allowing “Team Goon” to successfully defend Lonely Street. Charlie was also assigned the task of escorting a high ranking mafia official named Rory to a safe-house, a task he completed with ease.
The Goon: Once Upon A Hard Time
Charlie is called upon to help Spider after Goon rips one of his arms off in a fit of rage; to which Charlie asks why Goon didn’t have him rip the limb off of Spider, considering it’s what Goon pays Charlie to do. He also appears after Goon has defeated The Arab as a member of the goodbye party.
Skills and Abilities
What he lacks in mental stability and intelligence he makes up for in brute strength. Charlie Mudd’s unique physiology grants him a low level of superhuman strength.
