Babbitmania

Babbitman begins

"Built in my nightmares, and using my name. You’re stroking my cortex, if you know I'm insane."

These were the final words He spoke in his mother tongue. He climbed aboard His space-craft, before beginning His long and arduous journey into the void.

After millions of years, The Space Craft crashed into a small, primitive planet, consisting mainly of water.

Through the abandonment of His soul, He left his Space Craft and survived on this planet using His "shadique"- ability to disappear into the shadows, and reappear wherever shadows were- He fast learned about this brutal, savage country. After years of learning the native language, He fashioned a costume of leather, and using metal shards and other high-tech gimmicks, rose up against the government.

As the politicians cowered in fear of this 5 “6 Adonis, they finally heard his voice.

In a gravelly tone, as if carved from granite, He told them….

“I lost my soul when I fell to Earth. My planets calling to the void of my birth. The time has come for me to kill this game, now open wide and say my name….”

History

In the early days, he was known as Space Lord, by the many he formed into his troops. However, as the years went by, the countries around him learned to fear another name….

Babbitman.

The country only ever suffered one defeat.

June 3rd, 1567. After invading the Republic Of Green Padman, thousands of tiny Babbitonians were captured in a giant green box (origins unclear). The Babbitonians then suddenly fell asleep. The Green Padmans thought they had won.

Then, at 11.59 precisely, all of the Babbitonians awoke… in mass. There was a massacre the likes of which had never been seen.

Appearing randomly from a shadow in the palace, Babbitman cornered Green Pad Man.

“For awhile there, you had us on the ropes. I propose a truce.”

“We didn’t lose, right?”

“We didn’t sleep. Got it?”

And so the alliance was struck. The Green Padmen would watch during the day, whilst The Babbitonians would hunt at night.

Culture

These great, and short, people are not really seen- either because they are below knee-height, or because they only come out at night.

The soldiers that enlist are trained to never laugh, and become the best, most savage and vicious warriors ever known. Amongst their arsenals, the Babbitonians also list Babbit-guns (which contain grappling hooks), smoke pellets (used by trainees to hide the fact that they cannot yet disappear into the shadows), and utility belts containing many other gadgets and gizmos. Higher ranking generals are hand-picked and trained by Babbitman his likeness. In this way, they become the most effecient and destructive hunters Father Time has ever witnessed. That's right, when these guys are done with you, Death will be your fondest dream.

Although hard-working, these people are also joyous, and have no fears in their native land. They revel in the night, celebrating their diversity, and often playing pranks on each other- not malecious in any way, these people have learnt that as the smallest race, they must laugh at themselves. These great, and short, people are not really seen- either because they are below knee-height, or because they only come out at night.

The leader of this now organised and effective people, Babbitman, frequently hunts evil, and opposes those who would otherwise seek to torment the weak, including the enemies of the Green Padman. Seemingly immortal, and from a place so dark it can only be described as "The Void", he was the ruler of His own galaxy. translated from His mother tongue, He was known simply as "Space Lord". Dubbed as a cross between "Batman" and a "Hobbit" (before destroying the fool), He took the name "Babbitman", and began using his alien gadgets and superiority to annihilate crime and anything pink.

Babbitman now resides in The Babbitcave, beneath His palace.
