Benny was a human living in the Labyrinth. He was mutated by Dr. Anton Sevarius.
History[]
Benny was living a peaceful life in the Labyrinth[1] until he and his sister, Erin, were abducted by Dr. Sevarius. As a part of a plan to create armored mutates for his employer, Sevarius mutated Benny with woodlouse DNA. Surprisingly, Benny didn't seem to distraught over his condition, as he argued with his sister about whether he was a "roly-poly bug" or a "pill bug."
Around midnight of the New Year, Benny witnessed Tasha hanging herself. He curled up into a little ball since he couldn't escape from his cage.[2]
Characteristics[]
Benny resembles a large anthropomorphic woodlouse (also known as a roly-poly or pillbug). He can roll himself into a ball. Benny has a sister named Erin who was also made into a mutate.
Notes[]
- Benny is named for Greg Weisman's son.
- The real-life Ben has a sister named Erin as well.
- Both chose what kind of animals their comic counterparts would be crossed with as mutates. They also approved the final designs.
- Greg Weisman came up with the theme of all four mutates having some form of natural armor based on their choices.
