#173. LOUIE LOUIE (based on Larry Hama's Fury Force "Louie Louie" )
Marauder Task Force
Origin: Hawaii
Season 2
Finally back on FURY FORCE characters lol! No I haven't forgot this team (or the others) that I need to complete. Louie Louie presented an interesting challenge, as a precursor to Tunnel Rat there needs to be resemblance but also separation, and the best way to do that is to build based on the concept art but also stray a bit from the color palette that is usually associated with T-Rat. So I parts bin build him with the remaining tan pants I have plenty of, & the torso I originally intended for Patriot that I changed, (using a darker more Hawaiian skin tone that I wouldn't for T-Rat) and give him the appropriate matching gear, & I think a successful homage (that is distant enough) has arrived!
Growing up in Hawaii LOUIE LOUIE (or "LL" to his teammates) got his code name from the popular 1957 song made by the Kingsmen. He got the nickname early as a child due to the unintelligible way he spoke and it stuck with him afterwards. When he as an adult he was rather big & imposing, so he moved to Tokyo Japan to look for work in action films. He found between the language barrier and his own way of speaking that it was difficult to keep a solid job despite his strength & abilities. So he ended up working as a bouncer in the Tokyo underworld, where he could use his size & strength but rarely had to speak. It was this experience that led him (as a part of FURY FORCE) to OPERATION TOKYO DARK, as he had plenty of dealings with the Yakuza underworld. In the past he had done odd secret military jobs with SGT. FURY, after the two befriended each other following a fight, & landed them both in a Roppongi prison for "unnecessary roughness."
