Wheels Malloy or Road Kill is the next to make his appearance. And believe me, he knows how to make a swift entrance. The quick witted, fast talking, legless mutant gets about in a wheel, zooms across the floor, does a three point turn, humming the tune to Flight of the Valkyries in an extremely loud and blokish voice. He's an absolute maniac who doesn't respect any road user.
I got the idea of him first and foremost from watching a fictional character called Zebedee on a TV kids show called Magic Roundabout. Zebedee had no legs, just a single coiled spring with which he would bounce about the place. Then I thought, well why don't I create a similar character but instead make him travel about with the aid of a large wheel?
Next up there's Dennie Mult, The Human Amoeba. And what is the one thing an amoeba is good at? Yes that's it, its rather adept at changing shape. He moves about extending his shape and growing more legs to compensate for his extra mass. In fact, this guy has probably too many legs to count. He grows and grows and grows in every direction until he overstretches himself and reverts back to his humanoid shape. 
Dennie is probably the biggest worry wart of the team, easy to stress, and gets angry over the stupidest situations, but when things go his way he coasts through with the sense of duty, and pride that is deserved.
Both Dennie and his close buddy, Wheels were brilliant scientists. Dennie was the linguist who knew about ancient languages. And Malloy understood about cultures that were wiped out centuries ago. Both accompanied the other team members to the ziggurat where eventually they were discovered by the evil Harold Zarkmann. They were changed, their bodies mutated into the forms of both human amoeba and speed demon.
Well that wraps up the last of the official members of the Totally Freaky Trash Commandos. Next I may talk about some of the vehicles and weapons used by these heroes. Thank you for reading. And, please, subscribe.
