I know this thread is going to die on the vine, but I have a genuine question and I do not know where to get a consensus or if my question is plausible.
Is it possible for Major Bludd to be a secret or current or former Dreadnok? I was looking at the birthplaces of the original Aussie Dreadnoks and comparing them to Bludd’s birthplace. Bludd was born in Sydney. That is in New South Wales on the southeast coast of Australia, just above Botany Bay. Torch’s file card says he was born in Botany Bay (which is a TAD vague as there are several cities around Botany Bay, naturally). Botany Bay is close to the Sydney Airport. Ripper’s file card says he was born in Tasmania. Okay, that is a little further away (about 150 miles away from the south Australian coast), but it is still on the eastern side of Australia and it is at least conceivable that Ripper could have crossed the straight and ended up around Sydney without much trouble. Buzzer is from Cambridge, but he went over to Australia specifically to investigate Dreadnok culture. Now, I assume that Bludd is a bit older than the rest of the Dreadnoks, but that isn’t definitive, is it? Am I not thinking this through? Or could there be some merit in this?

I would doubt it. He doesn't seem to have that mentality.
The Dreadnoks aren't even all Aussies. But was it in Australia that Buzzer became a Dreadnok? I always assumed it was in Florida. Then again, there is always that disconnect from Zartan/Zandar/Zarana and then the rest of the Dreadnoks being from Australia. Did Zartan start them or did he just hire them and they eventually became his group when they came to Florida? |

It's certainly possible, however, Bludd spent most of his adult life fighting in wars in Southeast Asia and Africa and participating in terrorist actions in Europe and elsewhere... I doubt he'd have the time to be in a biker gang.

He may have received his initial military training in Bindoon, north of Perth. He might have been at Campbell Barracks in Swanbourne, Perth, Australia when he was with the Australian Special Air Service regiment, but for some of that time he was in combat in Southeast Asia, so he probably didn't have much time to ride motorcycles or join a club. He later joined the French Foreign Legion, was stationed in Algeria, and fought in many African conflicts. He is wanted for crimes and acts of terrorism on three continents, where Rhodesia and Libya are mentioned, as well as Europe. He did time at the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility in New York state, but we don't know for how long. Major Bludd has lived such a busy life, that I question when he would ever have had the time to be a Dreadnok? It just doesn't seem possible to me.

Two things — not all Dreadnoks are from Australia, and not Australians are Dreadnoks. Huge reach here.

No, he's a poet. He would consider being in a biker gang beneath him. Besides, they already have a guy with an eye patch and a mustache.
Unless he tried to kill Zartan to take over the gang and use them. |

To be fair, didn't Torch and Monkeywrench have bios before about them being terrorists before joining the Dreadnoks?

He was able to escape custody by hiding out at sea as a merchant mariner, where he learned the use of the cutting torch. When he returned to Australia, he rode with the Melbourne Maulers Motorcycle Club. His background lends more believability to joining the Dreadnoks than Major Bludd's ever would.

Monkeywrench was a bomb-maker for an obscure terror group in Wales (looney Welsh nationalists, possibly?) before he ended up in Australia and met the Dreadnoks. Torch has no mention of terrorism in his v1-3 bios.
